What You’ll Hear In This Episode:
- Rules are somewhat arbitrary and they often come from our head, rather than our soul.
- Rules can be separating and repel people. They can be black and white, while a boundary is about communicating what matters to you in a way that gives someone the choice to respect it.
- Lisa gives an example of how Benjamin asked Lisa (nicely!) if she could change her tone, and how that was an example of him setting his own boundary.
- Lisa and Benjamin give some real world examples of rules that almost resulted in missed connections and confusion to both the man and the woman.
- The “rules” and all these strategies and games for dating may work to get a date, or even a ring, but they aren’t building toward a solid foundation because they aren’t based on emotional nakedness, trust, or vulnerability.
- Being the Guardian of someone’s Soul isn’t about following rules. It’s about seeing the path that the soul needs to go on, and supporting it in every way possible.

- “Rules are about control where boundaries are about emotional vulnerability.” - Benjamin
