Have you discussed this with your primary partner? You may find it grounding to go there with her, as it sounds like your feet may be lifting off the ground a bit.

Sorry, I don't pray as such, but didn't want to leave without trying to help. Visualisation was really effective for me when other things failed, along with time.

Everything, and I do mean everything
happens for a reason, and that reason
is...

To Learn and Grow...

..Galactic, it must be very hurtful
for your partner...a connection to
another...

But..you must also figure out why
this connection exists..for it
abSOlUteLy is happening for the
reason of Learning and Growing and
part of your Mastership!

Bloom!

Call those missing soul pieces
to your body temple..you and your
partner..we cannot master Ourselves
until we acquire all 7 soul pieces
back to one body temple...
The sevenfold spirit must be attained...

I both agree and somewhat disagree with the above quote. I find it's relative and somewhat dependent on the situation. For example, retrievals. Retrieval is a very, very important service work that a percentage of middle aged to older Souls perform, unconsciously in their sleep state, while incarnated in this world.

Most retrievals are of "ghosts" i.e. individuals whose bodies have died, but they have not moved on to where they really and truly belong (i.e. most resonate on a deeper Soul level). There are other kinds and levels of retrieval--including in the hellish realms where psychopathic Souls get attracted to when their bodies die, and truthfully, retrieval is happening all the time in all the levels (including physical) that are not completely and fully resonant with Source and pure Love. Because ultimately, that is what we are all trying to re-awaken/remember. And ever, the faster vibrational individuals are trying to help lift up the slower vibrational individuals.

If we only had compassion for these poor stuck Souls, then we might say, "well I'm rooting for you, hope you can get yourself unstuck. I'll look past your bad behaviors etc because I know you're wounded." A kind of detached tolerance and acceptance of the way things are.

But what is the reality? A helper Soul will temporarily lower their vibration somewhat in order to be better perceived by the stuck Soul (this is why people incarnated in physical bodies are so crucial to this process for retrievsals done for "ghosts" and/or in the hellish levels, as a connection to a body already does this), and then they begin a process of trying to raise up the others vibration and shift their perception to a more true and accurate one, helping them to ultimately help release themselves. Without the catalyst of these outside forces/helpers, such individuals may stay stuck and suffering for a VERY LONG time.

Both empathy and compassion are involved in this very important and necessary service work. One for all, and all for One is the motto of the expanded, fast vibratory levels of guidance and service.

That sounds very intense what you went through. I'm sorry to hear that as well.

Interesting take on the empathy vs. compassion topic;...

...So yeah, I’m kind of interested in learning how to not empathize.
Do I get to blame Mercury for this day somehow?

Yeah, that is more than understandable. That's why I said it's relative and dependent on the case. In cases like yours and mine, where the faster vibratory, more centered, balanced, or what not, person is so affected by the connection to their own detriment, then yeah, one has to detach some and balance empathy with logic and practicality.

It's kind of like, you see a person drowning and your first instinct is one prompted by empathy, "somebody (me), needs to help them!" but then you notice they are in rapids and you know that if you jump in after them, not only will you not be able to help them, but you will die too. You have to damp down empathy in such a case and put logic and practicality ahead of it.

Or in the case of retrievals in the hellish, super slow vibratory levels. Not every helper/retriever can do this kind of retrieval work safely or effectively, so even if you have the empathy and desire to help such individuals in these levels, doesn't necessarily mean that you should. It takes a high degree of attunement to Source, pure, Universal Love, a lot of inner strength and balance to do this kind of retrieval work safely and effectively. It takes very practiced/seasoned retrievers/helpers. There is too much risk otherwise. (These levels are truly horrendous; the stuff of nightmares.)

Haha, if you mean something ala Mercury retrograde--nope. But, you could theoretically blame having Mercury as the ruler of your DESC, in Scorpio conjunct Pluto. That shows a lot of painful but intense transformations via close/more affecting relationships.

These seem pretty apropos as well. Funny enough, it has occurred to me to try a similar fire burning letter type ceremony. I'm a little hesitant to do that, because there is an interesting account from The Monroe Institute annuals of history/lore.

I don't remember who it came from anymore, but anyways, during a particular Gateway Voyage Program where a fair amount of men were attending, there was this super, holistically attractive woman that was attending/part of the group. One of the instructions/practices for the basic meditations and "sound experiences" is Monroe tells you on recording, to put your worries and distractions temporarily in a chest that washes up on the shore.

Well, many of the men were quite distracted by this Lass, and so many of them were putting her in their chests (of course, not thinking it would affect her at all). Turns out, she reports to one of the trainers that she was feeling/perceiving some odd and not pleasant stuff. When she would try to meditate and enter other states of consciousness she felt she was locked in this dark place. She was kind of feeling it generally as well, if I remember correctly.

👍👍 Good point about being careful and specific about that sort of thing. Hadn’t thought about the distinction between your attachments and your memories.
Just thought of something else, though, because I woke up at 3 am and the fire in my wood stove had almost gone out. 2nd chakra = water... water always flows down. 3rd chakra = fire... fire always burns up. Was just reminding my son of that very important fact as he was trying to make a torch the other day.
