Question: Can a person choose the path of Truth and travel it through life with someone, or must they go it alone?

Answer: The answer is that we must both go alone and at the same time allow all relationships to reveal that, in truth, we have never been alone. 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’t blame us for a pain we impart than when they do. That is the beauty of inner work.
