There are 3 levels to self-awareness when it comes to relationships.

Level 1, animal mode: You are an average person, not much self awareness, wisdom, or that much conscious thinking. Its all instinctive, you are in a system, you follow the rules, you follow your instincts, you think you are smarter and a better person that what you actually are. This is around 80-90% population id say, aka NPCs. They will jump from relationship to relationship, cheat when the opportunity arises, go for a better option and forget all loyalty when the opportunity arises, get divorced or break up over vanal things, etc.

Monogamous relationships involving people like this SHOULD NOT exist. Most people are not ready or conscious enough for relationships, and are not fit for monogamy.



Level 2, semi-conscious mode: You are are a person of integrity. You think before you act most of the time, and you know the value of respect, loyalty and being selective. You live by your word and would rather be betrayed than betray yourself. These people are FIT for relationships, and could have successful relationships,AS LONG AS THEY ARE SMART ENOUGH TO ONLY ACCEPT A PERSON ON THE SAME LEVEL.

At this level you are not animalistic per se, you put reason, logic, and morals above your own desires.Most people at level 1 think they are at level 2, but in reality, only about 10% of people are actually on this level. Everybody claims to be 100% anti cheating or fully faithful, yet in reality, most people arent, they just think they are. A person could have cheated the month before, and today claim to be a person of integrity, only to cheat once again the next month. So level 2 is actually only a level where VERY special people are at. To achieve this it takes being born with the right type of brain (high IQ) and in an enviroment full of love, support, union, etc (which builds a high EQ)

Most people on this level havent still reached level 3, or possibly never will, and still fall victims to the system and beliefs that they have been taught with since the day they were born. They are part of the system still, but at least have some type of control over their own minds.






Level 3, fully conscious: You've left behind the ideas, rules, and beliefs that you were taught by since day 1 by people that werent even close to your level of self awareness. You've understood how the system works and why it works.

On this level, there is no more jealously, anxiety, there is no cheating or stress related to whatever the other person could feel. You have realized that possessive and restrictive love isnt happiness nor what its the best for you, the other person, or the world. You have realized that possessive love isnt healthy, and its just a recipe for trauma, depression, anxiety, vulnerability, etc. Imposed monogamy on both yourself and your partner is something you dont accept anymore.

You dont need to lie anymore, "yes, i did look at that girls butt because its attractive", "no i dont think you are the most beautiful woman in the world, if im right now with you its because of different reasons", "no i wont stay with you to make you feel better or more comfortable, im going to go out to have a drink with my friends"


At this level you understand that love isnt changing a person's opinions, desires, pleasures, ways to be happy etc, love is freedom. The same way you love a friend and you dont try to impose your beliefs on them and change their behavior, you just love them for what they are, this same way is how you love a significant other, and how you want to be loved.

Love between a man and a woman should be no different than a friendship. That is the purest way of love IMO, theres no chemical reactions in your brain that make you love that friend for a year or two (like the chemicals reactions you get when you first start a relationship). You love them for what they are, you love them the same as long as they dont physically hurt others or themselves with their choices.

In romantic relationships, chemical reactions of love fade, and then you are left with a person that you may or may not love as you thought you once did when your brain was full of love drugs. If you are aware of this chemical reaction in your brain, and you fully accept it for what it is and dont try to romanticize it or idealize it, then you are better fit for a relationship and then choose how you want to approach your relationship.

People at this level rarely marry or find "the one", because people rarely reach this level. You cant be at this level and be with a person from a diff level, nor you want to. Some people live like this in other cultures, such as polyamorous cultures or religions, but it wasnt because they became self aware, its simply a different system that they adopted, they were never taught to feel possession over their loved ones.







No level is better than another one btw. And yeah this post gonna be taken the wrong way of course, i fully expect that
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

You forgot level 4; Full Ego death, self awareness has risen to the level of insanity. You are now hyper aware of Every action and word and analyze it under a microscope. You see what others see. You hear what others hear. Your ego no longer protects you from yourself.

But are you able to go out tonight, bang a random bitch, and come home later to your wife?

I just dont know if you are getting it bro, this isnt about just being able to fuk anybody, its deeper than that.

What do you mean am I "able" to?

Am I capable of achieving it? Yes, women will sleep with me.

Am I capable of committing the act under the impression that it is regarded as immoral/unethical and feel guiltless towards my wife? No. I'd feel guilty.

Am I capable of doing it and my wife being unphased? No, she will be hurt emotionally.

Am I capable of doing it and my wife forgiving me? Yes, I think I'd have 1 or 2 forgivenrsses in her before she cracked the divorce envelope

Yeah, i guess i used the wrong word.

But still, those answers tell me you arent really level 3. You dont find guilt when you go out to do something that makes you happy and isnt really hurting anybody, nor you would accept being with a person that isnt self aware enough to not feel bad or hurt about you going out to do something that makes you happy.

Level 3 is loving the other person enough to procure their happiness, and loving yourself enough and being conscious enough to not get fooled into restricting your life and your happiness.
