sophie again!

This has been a very interesting time with Sophie - the person who I have the most essence-level connection with. This is someone who about 5 months ago firmly stated that she would NEVER go out with me, and listed some reasons why. Nevertheless the connection was there, so we continued as good friends - even to the point she admitted to me I was her best friend. She's someone who is very flighty, going from person to person without much thought sometimes. And I bring out something deep in her - and also raise the shackles of her Chief Feature of arrogance.

So after she implied that the Landmark Forum she had recently gone to would help me connect with more people and make a new family of my own, I gently confronted her about her arrogance, that she had many many connections, but had a hard time being truly intimate and vulnerable in any of them. Her artisan nature makes it very easy for her to create airs and even play with energy. The 'sense' I get from people's energy can sometimes go awry with her if she decides to be creative in that area. Anyway, after this she confided that actually she WAS extremely attracted to me when she made that declarative statement 5 months ago, in fact she thought she could fall head over heals in love with me, but it was so frightening that she kept running all the reasons why it wouldn't 'work' though her mind until she let out with that statement.

So it's been a year and a half since I first met her - there was definitely a connection, though I myself was frightened at first. Definitely stuff from past lives to go through, too. We communicate better. But still, over that time, there's been no one else who I'd rather partner with, and of course that hasn't happened. The two people I dated in that time both reacted to the strong energy between us, felt threatened and reacted strongly themselves. This in a person who (IMHO) is fairly good looking and charming and all that! Quite funny really. It's gone on so long that I'm not really identified with it - it's been a real growth process. And certainly challenging for my impatience.

As for where it'll go? Who knows. She's going out with someone else now. Not sure how long that'll last. I know she's thinking about that herself. You can't rush someone going through their fears.
