LightSeed is the result of two people coming together in love and a sense of planetary service. We believe humankind is poised on the brink of a quantum leap in our picture of the world and ourselves. This new awareness is of internal power and self-responsibility. It is based on knowing that one has a place in the cosmos, and that each of us is loved by a deeper Self. The security of that knowing allows us all to become genuine and less defensive. Alan and I, Bobbi, fell in love nearly nine years ago. We met during our training for Psycho-Spiritual Integrative Breathwork. I lived in Connecticut and Alan lived in Seattle. As the relationship developed during training and over the phone, each of us felt a strong attraction to the other, and a knowing from within. This was a recognition that we had future work to share with each other. This future service was a big part of why Alan subsequently chose to move east to join me. At that time we were completing the two-year training and anticipated working together at a center. A friend of mine who was a neurologist wanted to found a healing center that we would run. Alan no sooner made the move than the center plan fell through; it wasnt going to happen. This was painful and it left us to work out our couple issues, and individual personal stuff without focusing on the dream. Since then I have noticed that many couples who involve in planetary service abandon their relationships and the personal growth required by them, for a focus on service. This strategy can cause burnout and arrested growth. I think we both can now see the value of being forced to deal with all our stuff, but at the time we were innocent. Our love for each other was so strong we didnt think there would be much to work out. We had such a strong sense of being on the same wavelength. That didnt guarantee peace we learned. Each of us experienced the relationship as much more intense than prior relationships. We felt things so intensely, we cared about us so intensely, and everything seemed to have deeper meaning and challenge. We both experienced ecstasy and agony, the merry-go-round of life, up and down we went. What we didnt discover until later was that each of us, prior to meeting, in the privacy of our own hearts had felt a great sadness about how much pain is involved in the couples experience. Each of us had asked to be shown a better way for people to get their needs met. We believed mutual respect and truth telling to be the foundation of intimate relating. As the power and control phase of the relationship rolled around we felt overwhelmed by the relationship patterns that came up. Many times it felt like we were speaking different languages. It was hard to see the others viewpoint and hold ones own. For a long time we didnt realize we were experientially exploring new ways of being together. At the bottom each of us was encountering deep patterns of abandonment in order to transform them. At times it felt shattering, and if we didnt have so much genuine love and attraction we never would have stayed with it. At some point we realized we had essentially invoked learning new relationship patterns. Slowly we became conscious of the patterns, and began to change them together. Often in the beginning only one of us could detect that we were operating out of a patterned defense. That was okay though because we only needed that little edge to do something different. Things started to improve and we didnt feel so out of control, I still feel great compassion for who I was and how that felt before the pattern busting.
