Dating after realizing the game a little

My Journey

My understanding of being awakened is not about rejecting the ego or rejecting the human experience. To me it is more about seeing it clearly. The ego exists, personality exists, and the human game exists. Consciousness may be deeper or eternal or whatever language we use for it, but we are still here living this human experience.

At a certain point I realized something simple. I do not actually want to transcend the human experience. I want to participate in it consciously. The absurdity of it, the comedy of it, the emotions, the connections, all of it is part of the game.

Which brings me to something I rarely see talked about in these spaces, relationships.

I am not looking for someone to complete me. I feel whole on my own and I have no interest in playing emotional performance games with anyone. At the same time I do feel a genuine desire to experience human love with another person who is also whole.

What I mean by whole is someone who can see the bigger picture of consciousness and ego but still enjoy being human. Someone who can talk about reality and awareness one moment and laugh about something completely dumb the next.

For people here who feel they have developed some level of awareness about the nature of reality, how do you approach dating or relationships

Does it make connection harder or have you found partners who share that balance of awareness while still enjoying the human experience
