		<description>Thank you Dr. Martin for sharing your presence and thought(s) with me this afternoon after a great spiritual service at Agape Spiritual Center.  If you could guide me to academic research papers or published research papers that can help me link Kemetic and Dravidian spiritual teachings to our Christian biblical doctrines, I would be in great debt to you.  This information will help me become a more complete teacher and minister in the knowledge and practice of spiritual principles.   Which in my personal assessment are lacking in the Christian community.

Thank you,

		<description>Sounds like you were confident about it though, so when it was a little hard, you kept on keeping on! That&#039;s the key.</description>

		<description>This is so sad, but true. A lot of black children are getting the message that marriage is not important. Cant leard the importance of something you never see. We gotta change this, one family at a time. I&#039;m doing my part</description>

		<description>Glad I found your blog. Black women can get married.  You&#039;re so right. I never doubted that I&#039;d find my man. Always knew he was there. Found him, and it wasn&#039;t all that hard. (well, kinda, but not really.)</description>

		<description>Hi Alicia,
Thanks for writing. What  I mean by growth being the true purpose for relationships is that we are always nudged forward by God/Spirit/Universe to maximize who we are. I answered Frederick that way because I understood from him that the person he is dating might not be open to the idea of growth, that she has her own agenda. In this case, I&#039;m supposing that she may not see the need for growth, only her own issues, therefore if she believes he is trying to coach or lecture her, it might not be a fruitful conversation. i encouraged him to share what he thinks will be helpful to her where she is. As you mentioned, we don&#039;t always like what we see when we look at ourselves or when someone else points things out.
Overall, though, what I mean by growth is that Spirit is calling us to heal our wounds and be our full selves. One way it does this is to use relationships, those intimate bonds with other people to heal us both who are involved. For example, if I have an argument with my man because I am hurt about something he said, am I really hurt by his statement or is his statement reminding me or revealing to me the pain that was already there, left there by my previous life experience? I believe that my man has simply brushed up against what was already a sore spot for me. If I am conscious about it, I will take note of that and use the experience to grow past my previous hurts (baggage), if I am not conscious I will simply take the argument at face value and blame him for whatever I believe he did. it is an opportunity for growth which I may take advantage of or not. If I do not, then I will continue to have similar situations come up in my life, until I deal with the original problem from my own previous experience. I can grow or I can stay stuck in a vicious circle of victimization blaming other people. That&#039;s what i work with people on in coaching -- helping them see their own previous stuff that&#039;s standing in their way of achieving success in what they want to achieve, relationships, career, purpose, etc...
We are now facebook friends.
Hope this clarifies.

		<description>Dr. Darnise -

I listened to your free seminar, Mastering Men, Power &amp; Money. During the seminar recording, you mentioned that relationships are for &quot;growth&quot;. I would like for you to expound on that a little more. A gentlemen responded named Fredric Penn from Maryland. He stated what if I know the true purpose for a relationship is growth, and the person that I am dating is in the relationship for other reasons, how do I inform them of this? You mentioned that would put him into the coaching mode.

Well, growth can be viewed many ways. For example, perhaps a person can learn something from the other person. He is good with finances and I am not. He can cook, I can&#039;t. In a business relationship, I would say the other person compliments me. They have strengths that I don&#039;t have or God has given each one of us different gifts. I excel when I use the gifts that God has given me. However, with every strength there is a weakness. I do agree it is important to know thyself. It is important to be willing to look in the mirror and be able to honestly look at what is there. Sometimes we don&#039;t like what we see but it is our responsibility to change or manage that image. Nonetheless, I am still not sure if I understand what you mean by growth.

I am following you on Twitter and I have sent you a friend request on Facebook, but I believe Twitter will hit more people instantly. 

Thank you in advance for your response.

		<description>I was at the event but I guess since there were over 100 of us there, I didn&#039;t see you.  It was interesting.  I didn&#039;t stay until the end since it started later than expected and I had another engagement.  I did like what the relationship specialist said in the begining which can be applied no matter who you choose to date.</description>
