Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some tips re: how to have a close, connected relationship with my wife who's asleep. We have been drifting further apart since I started waking up since November. Do any of you have a GOOD STRONG CONNNECTED relationship with your spouse who's asleep? Any tips?
I'm not looking for tips on how to wake her up because often my attempts to red-pill has caused even more disconnect. I'm looking for tips for how to have a GOOD STRONG CONNECTED relationship despite the awake vs. asleep difference.
For context of our difference, my wife was double-vaxxed ASAP and disregards my conclusions about anything when people in authoritative positions say otherwise. We're both Christians, but it's different now. I think I was spiritually woken up and I see the world differently. She's asleep and not interested in waking up and I feel like she wants me to fall back asleep in order to connect. Problem is.. I don't want to go back to sleep. Any tips are appreciated!
I think you highlighted a very important truth. Many kind, sensitive, decent people struggle to grasp the fact that there really are people (particularky in places of authority) who are capable of the monstous evil we are seeing unfold. Their grid of understanding can't accommodate and process the worldwide scale of evil and often they reflexively dismiss it or look for ways to reject it (preserve their grid). It's predominately a subconscious (often very emotional) defensive response that can be absent of meaningful critical thinking.
In the thread that Zuby posted a couple of weeks ago about the 20 things he had learned/confirmed during the last year, the bonus item was that 'Most people are fairly compassionate and have good intentions (this is good) As a result, most people deeply struggle to understand that some people, including our 'leaders', CAN have malicious or perverse intentions (this is bad).'
I think this particular observation is a big hurdle for a lot of people who are having trouble waking up. It is the same mindset of people who cannot accept the fact that your partner - who is such a nice person publicly - is abusing you. Even though you are standing in front of them with a broken arm. They wouldn't do that! Ergo it must have been something you did.
(And we are starting to see that play out in real time. It is the fault of the unvaccinated.)
