who, me?
You choose partners who will bring your deepest hidden fears to the surface. Unfortunately, when those fears come to the surface, you often blame the other person for causing them. You don't realize that it was your own inspired choice of partners -- driven by your need to grow beyond your fears -- that brought the material to the surface. If you don't find your way out of this trap, you often pull back from the relationship and recycle the fears in some other relationship.
The conscious living (and loving) alternative: when your fears come up in relationships, take responsibility for them. Don't blame others for causing them. Instead, thank them for helping enlighten you, and ask for their support in helping you move through your fears to greater intimacy.
