The Vertical Connection
The horizontal connection model - person to person, heart to heart, energy field to energy field - isn't natural intimacy. It's institutionalized energetic codependency masquerading as love.
The Vertical Connection
When you shift to vertical connection, you stop being available for spiritual vampirism - both as victim and perpetrator. You can't be drained because you're not giving your energy away. You can't drain others because you're sourcing from your own infinite supply.
The Vertical Connection
When you're vertically connected, you don't need anything from the other person. You're not trying to fix them, save them, or complete yourself through them. You're not leaking energy into their field or absorbing their unprocessed emotions. You're simply present - completely yourself, completely available, completely free.
The Vertical Connection
You've been taught that to truly love someone, you need to feel their pain, carry their burdens, absorb their energy. This isn't love - it's energetic codependency with a spiritual bow on top.
