Hm ... well I have to say that my partner is alot like you Mano... and here is what I have come to recognize... that if he can not master things like being Grounded and Centered... maybe Jumping off into the ether is not such a good Idea. I noticed with my partner that he always wanted to Jump to the highest grade and find the biggest gun to shoot himself in the head. rather than start with the begining levels and work up to what he aspired to... like many young men. if he showed more interest in the ground work and Not just jumping to the end... maybe i would have more respect and more interest. some times I feel that it is Him that shows little respect. it makes it hard to support him in his 'short cut' attitude to enlightenment. I bet he has "Psychic power" that you could not imagine... but maybe does not want to share that with some one who uses that sort of thing as an 'escape' ...perhaps he is trying to get you to BE HERE NOW. ? Maybe? maybe it is YOU who does not give the respect? just trying to give you an alternative perspective. Just a thought... William

My ex was not supportive. His first comments were "you are weird" in relation to this. That kind of poisoned me sharing any part of this with him because of it. With that in mind, escaping reality in style of not, I don't think its the best thing. But, I tend to be practical when it comes to doing spiritual work, so thats just my bias. If he isn't supportive, then keep it to yourself, work on it, and then one day, just freak him out with your new skills.

When a partner can not respect or support that area of ones life it can be very difficult. Because trhat area of ones life is very important to us and is just as real if not even more so that other realities in life. try not saying anything to him for now because he cant comprehend or understand your expseriences untill he has them himself. Let your exsperiences together or allow the affacts of your gifts to speak for them selves as they are gently shown like a blooming flower, they dont need to be pointed out, then when he expseriences his own interesting experiences and feele like sharing them with you, you can be open, supportive and present to hear his tales. you may also want to explain that you are not braging or anything you are simply explaining an exsperience you had, just like any other exsperience, like saying you got cut off on your way to, work. love to you, I think everyone who is in a relatiopnship, and has gifts that the other doesntr fully understand yet, feels ya!

Oh the *Hermetic* Arts. It's a pity that you can't share that realm of your experience with your Partner. Certainly, by the description, it seems futile to seek approval or praise from him in that realm. Hopefully there are many other facets of the relationship which allow growth, healing, laughter, benefit, support... all those things that make relationships so majestic and wond'rous. That said, if the relationship does have enough power behind it, and you let him know that he doesn't have to share interest in your activities, but that it's important to you that you can share your experiences with him, because of how important they are to you, he will hopefully understand. Respect is interesting. People don't have to respect me for my magick to work, but if I have people's respect, it makes it a lot easier to organize their activity based on the power of my word/presence alone. It has its benefits, but it's not a necessity.

i tell my partner about my experiences about astral projection and lucid dreaming and he not even proud of me or supports me. he thinks im trying to escape reality. so what if i am at least i do it in style. he cant say he has done what i have done.he thinks hes above that "psychic power " stuff. i want them all and invent new ones.
