On Teaching and Relationships
An Introduction
Economics, and Politics
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
---------------------------
Our wishes are not just idle day-dreams. Our wishes are an expression of our innermost predilection - a predilection which it is perfectly possible to fulfill, provided we use our knowledge wisely.
---------------------------
We make of our lives what we will.
---------------------------
Life is not your social conditioning, and neither are you your behaviour.
---------------------------
If you wish to change you must cast off your self-image.
---------------------------
To relate to ourselves, to others, or to the world, we need to be aware. To relate implies understanding.
---------------------------
Take responsibility for having this person in your life.
---------------------------
Don't treat the other person in your life any differently than you would a stranger.
---------------------------
Accept yourself for who and what you are.
---------------------------
Always look for the positive; focus on the positive.
---------------------------
Acknowledge gender according to its proper potential.
---------------------------
Compress time.
---------------------------
Believe in yourself and in others.
---------------------------
Make allowances for the differences between males and females.
---------------------------
Laugh! Life is fun!
---------------------------
Be real. Make yourself and others real.
---------------------------
The cornerstone of true love is intelligent co-operation.
---------------------------
Ruthlessness and unconditional love are synonymous.
---------------------------
Actions speak louder than words.
---------------------------
All of life is a system of games. Some games just require more carefully defined rules than others.
---------------------------
Participant Experiences
"I learned that standing up and claiming my power shook my wife's world. Being ruthless with myself and her
provided her the opportunity to also uplift herself. Ruthlessness is absolutely key!"
~ Garrett, Canada
"I realised my relationships are more poor than I thought them to be. There is still a lot of fear in me in
really showing myself and trusting life, myself and the other. I also learnt that in order to relate it is
important for me to express myself, to express what I'm feeling, thinking."
~ Peggy, Netherlands
All of life can be seen as a series of relationships that are interwoven and interdependent. Thus your attendance is not dependent on your being "in a relationship" with a partner; you will still benefit. The reason is because ALL our relationships, whatever their nature, reflect our primary relationship with ourselves.
Life is a most priceless gift, but if we are to savour the full beauty of this gift we must be able to relate to ourselves and to those around us in a meaningful and fulfilling manner. We spend most of our lives interacting with people in one way or another, but we mostly don't know what it means to relate.
Our biggest problems arise in our personal relationships. Because we have a whole heap of unvoiced and unfulfilled expectations, warmth and camaraderie soon become supplanted by anger and blame. We tend to think that a partner has to supply that which we ourselves lack. So we often involve ourselves in relationships which are debilitating and frustrating, as they are based upon sets of conditions and co-dependency, rather than upon mutual appreciation and sharing.
We dispel the myth that two halves in a relationship can make one whole, and we show you that if a relationship is to succeed, it needs two whole people.
it needs two whole people."
Participant Experiences
"I learned that there is much work to be done before I can claim to be in control of my emotions.
More specifically, I learnt that I still hold back who I truly feel is me,
and that I hide behind a lot of bullshit when the going gets tough. Deep down I do thoroughly
enjoy interacting with others when I allow myself to be vulnerable and in the moment."
~ Paul, United Kingdom
"I don't have to pretend to have any answers. I am a good person and I can put myself first and care for myself.
It is OK for me to have fun, laugh at my own folly and the comical dream of the status quo. Sometimes people will
not understand me but I don't need to go down an angry or sad route. I can work out alternative ways of behaving."
~ Ann, United Kingdom
Whether at the level of business, social activities or family life, managing relationships takes skill and practice.
On this course we will give you the general principles that will make any kind of relationship work. We will show you:
- How to determine what you want out of a relationship with another person.
- That your own Inner Being is beautiful and is worth relating to.
- How to make your fear of relationships work for you.
- The basic differences between males and females.
- How to deal with conflict, using both your male and female energies to succeed.
- Intelligent co-operation between the sexes instead of competing against and blaming each other.
- How to have effective communication in any relationship.
- How to change the feeling of futility and hopelessness you often get if you do speak up.
