Love Is Brutally Honest

Love Is Brutally Honest

By Bart Sharp

Love is brutally honest. To experience love with another unravels us to reveal our true nature from sensuality, fears, inspirations, transgressions etc. If we allow love to unfold us we will show all of that to another and see that in them as well. Love can be beautiful and scary.

To hold another in intimate love for a long time requires one to see their partner without judging them: to see your lover’s mistakes, pains and victories as a part of the whole. Just as equally important is to be seen fully by another is such an exposing light.

It takes self-caring to be honest in how your lover’s actions makes you feel without condemning your partner in some way because love is about learning to accept another within your own self. At the same time it is not a sacrifice of you so they can have their own process. They have to face themselves alone in some way with your support.

If we build with honesty, allowance, respect for ourselves and for the other as well we nurture a place for the heart to be expressed and the ego to be opened for transformation. The ego holds all of the rationales that create separation from love. Heart-shared love is an ongoing process of processing and letting go of the conflicts life presents and the ego interjects into.

By removing the layers around our hearts we see the depth that we are truly made of, a partner can reflect this and expose it even deeper. When two hearts can reveal themselves this deeply to each other love opens like the universe shared with two souls. Relationship can be bliss, honesty, pain, vulnerability and back to love, the nectar of the gods.
