A short spoken segment (YouTube) in which Eckhart Tolle explains how meeting another person without referencing the past can free them from their habitual personality, allowing a deeper, transformative presence to emerge. He describes this as a 'miracle of transformation' that can affect relationships when one person becomes conscious.
Miraculous transformations have happened in the other person. When you met the other person without reference to the past. So it's not that you want the other person to change. All that falls away. You're just not bringing the past into this encounter. And then it is not uncommon for the other person also without them realizing what's happening, becoming freed at this moment at least from their heavy personality. And something beyond the personality in them also shines through. And that's a miracle of transformation. That's why sometimes people, when one of the two who share a lot of unpleasant past, one of them becomes conscious, it can lead also to the transformation of the other.
