Simply beautiful, Cynthia!
“Merging into the infinite” is a wonderful phrase to describe the love of two souls coming together in earnest.
I suspect that we are also in a planetary merging as well, especially as we reach out in compassionate love to others at home and across the oceans. This is the mystical aspect of love that is so seldom discussed.
Yes, there is tremendous dignity in this!
Thank you so much.

I love this interview, and so wish I could be there at the discussion between this beautiful brilliant being and Almaas whose writings have been a source of pure nourishing substance for me. I’d actually like to speak with them both!! This is a great & useful interview I’ll be passing on! Thank you for making it available for free! What a blessing!

Thank you Cynthia and Tami. My husband and partner of many incarnations passed in April of 2011. I realized his brilliance, the pure light that he was only a few months before his death. Your words, “Conscious relationship that comes into its own after one’s partner has departed.” This is so accurate to what is happening. He is teaching me so beautifully and we are in a new pure partnership more passionate, more Real than we could while both in bodies and yes Tami … we both continue to grow. Ken recently told me that he has two more levels to go until returning to the Core Source … and even then change and expansion will continue. I recently finished a book on Ken’s cancer, our transformation and the year of miracles since called Silent Presence: Grief’s Unfolding Promise. This interview puts what has and is happening into greater perspective. Thank you. Thank you to both of you.
