This is a large topic. When it comes to harmonizing personal relationships, which is what I feel is the central theme of the material, we must certainly reveal our truest feelings and desires, expressing the turmoil within us. We're supposed to own our feelings every step of the way and be allowed to want what we want, I agree. But a lot of the time there is a blockage/insight you're not recognizing.
There was catalyst involving me and an ex, where we constantly butted heads on two issues. There were things I expected of her and truly did need of her, but she could be pretty selfish. Eventually I realized they were issues on my end, because if there were things I had addressed before meeting her the catalyst wouldn't have been an issue. Her selfishness was actually the way in which I was withholding myself from others. This illusion is incredibly tricky and is always mirroring us. So while there was an opportunity for growth on her end, you can't always expect things of people. In other words there is no right or wrong, and a lot of times if you want something, you're going to have to address it yourself and not depend on the other.
Since everything is one energy, I think we're supposed to learn how to move with the push and pull..letting the energy flow naturally. We have to learn when it's appropriate to take and when to give, since the other is yourself, and not have everything extend top-down from us. It's circular.
If the "I" is always "correct", then since the other is self, they are also correct. Which means that if there is ever going to be any kind of movement, you're going to have to realize that many times you're going to be "wrong".
