Attracting Spiritual Partnerships

There's no point whatsoever in an unloving man or woman bemoaning their
inability to find a partner. They're doomed to endless frustration because they
don't recognize the perfect match when it appears. That loving person could be
right there, right now, and their resistance doesn't allow them to see it. The
unloving person continues to blame bad luck or a series of external factors for
their not having a loving relationship.

Love can only be attracted by and returned by love. The best advice I can
give for attracting and maintaining spiritual partnerships, as I've been
emphasizing in the chapter, is to be what it is that you're seeking. Most
relationships that fail to sustain themselves are based on one or both of the
partners feeling as if their freedom has been compromised in some way.
Spiritual partnerships, on the other hand, are never about making another person
feel inferior or ignored in any way. The term spiritual partnership simply
means that the energy that holds the two of you together is in close harmony
with the Source energy of intention. It's as if each person has whispered
silently to the other, You are Source energy in a physical body, and the better
you feel, the more of this loving, kind, beautiful, receptive, abundant,
expanding, and creative energy is flowing through you. I respect this Source
energy, and I share it with you as well. When either of us feels
downhearted, there's less of this energy of intention flowing. We must always
remember that nothing is disallowed by the universal mind. Whatever is not
allowing us to be happy is being disallowed by us. I'm committed to staying in
this energy field of intention and watching myself whenever I slip. It's that
very Source that brought us together, and I'll work to stay in harmony with it.
This kind of inner commitment is what Goethe was speaking about in that opening
quotation. It allows providence to move and helps things to occur, "which no
man could have dreamed would come his way."

Wayne Dyer
