Having a loved one who loves the truth with you is a great blessing because the two of you can learn to give yourselves up to a greater Love. So ultimately, surrender becomes the key. We can learn to let go of ourselves more easily when we have others around us who show us the need for this self-release without punishing us for our transgressions. It is a curious thing: sometimes it is much more affecting when someone doesn&#8217;t blame us for a pain we impart than when they do. That is the beauty of inner work.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Should you attend Talks in the Pines?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LT1zej5Eiq8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LT1zej5Eiq8&amp;feature=youtu.be\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LT1zej5Eiq8&amp;feature=youtu.be<\/a><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: Can a person choose the path of Truth and travel it through life with someone, or must they go it alone?
