We want to be loved down to the core, by somebody who knows every chink in our armor; but it may not occur to us that we must REMOVE the armor! We must face our wounded nakedness before we can actually share it, to feel thoroughly known and loved. We must also tend the wounds, beneath those chinks, in order to heal them. If we conceal anything at all, we don’t feel unconditionally loved. Many assume that you can’t tell a partner everything; but unless you do, you undermine love. What you have (or seem to have) is a facade; because intimacy, a connection based on what you know, is the foundation for authentic love.

You have to get the truth to your unconscious mind, before you can actually LIVE it!
Don’t let “I already know that” keep you from learning the truth. Until you’re LIVING the truth, you have more to learn. And much of what you need to know may be in your unconscious mind, where you’ve stored false beliefs that keep you stuck.
