Hello everyone and welcome to tune ruins the show that over analyzes cartoons both old and new to give you guys the answers to questions

You've always asked. Today I'm going to be talking about some content

I found in the official Steven universe book art and origins but before I start

I just wanted to remind everyone to hit that Bell icon to be notified of when I upload videos

so that you don't miss out on anything you can also join the community discord or follow me on social media for video updates and

Other news that being said let's get on with the video

Amongst all the relationships in Steven universe, one of the most focused on

relationships in the show is between Steven and Connie

Connie was the first being that Steven fused with and she is also the one he seems to discover all his new powers with they've

Been emotional support for each other throughout the show and it's clear that he shares more with Connie that he does the gems

But what extent is their relationship go to. well some have argued that Connie and Stevens relationship is purely strongly platonic

Most fans argue that it isn't I happen to be a shipper of converse myself

Or stevonnie as some people call the ship

And it seems that this was the crewniverse's intentions in fact. We have the art and

Origins book to thank for the confirmation of this in fact one of the original plots to an earlier episode specifically We Need to Talk

Was supposed to take place because Greg caught Steven and Connie kissing

Of course we now know that the plot they went with was Greg accidentally witnessing the two fusing into stevonnie while dancing

But it's interesting that the original concept was supposed to be that they had kissed and that Greg tried to explain things to them this

Is what the actual paragraph reads Greg happens upon a kiss between Steven and Connie Greg starts out to give them with the talk?

They start asking the uncomfortable and magic questions

So overwhelmed Greg gives up and tells them about how gems

Introduced him to fusions this of course is now referring to how Greg was introduced to rainbow quartz

And it's confirmed that she's the first fusion he's made aware of and see's form

Originally the first fusion Greg was supposed to see was opal

But it's obvious that they elected to change this to rainbow quartz as well

we get a little bit of pearlmathyst in here too ay

Maybe pearl was the first gem amethyst ever fused with but that's a theory for another time anyways more content regarding

Steven and Connie's relationship can be found in Connie's concept art

there's multiple cutesy images of the two holding hands and just interacting with each other. There's even one of them kissing though

That's rather hard to see something that I found even more cute. However was the fact

There's a little note that says "faces like puzzle" then in the little kissing sketch you can see what that note means

Basically the creators of all but confirms that Connie and Steven are made for each other

Both literally and metaphorically depending on which way you look at it

I think that this Canon information combined with their other interactions in the show basically

Confirmed that Steven and Connie are each other's romantic interests

I know that this is probably obvious to most of you

But I know that there are still a few people out there

Who are a bit skeptical, but let me know what you guys think in the comments below. Do you ship Steven and Connie?

What's your favorite moment between the two and of course if you like this video?

Can A Relationship Survive When One Partner Is More 'Spiritually Evolved'? - Duration: 8:23.

As souls, we come to Earth to have a human experience, each one of us seeking to learn

different lessons and meet different people.

We are all on different paths, and for those of you in relationships, you may notice that

your own path differs from that of your partner's.

Do you feel more spiritually evolved than your partner?

And if so, what does that mean?

Thinking You're "More Spiritual" Than Others May Indicate…

Thinking you are more spiritually evolved than another being may be an indication that

you need to work on your own self-growth.

This mindset can create division between yourself and others, an illusion that does not reflect

your inner Divine presence.

Part of becoming "more spiritually connected" is practicing non-judgement.

If you find yourself judging others about their "level of spirituality," that may

be your Higher Self encouraging you to do more inner work.

We are all a reflection of one another, so by perceiving others as less spiritual, perhaps

that's your soul's way of telling you you need to gaze inward more.

There is also a common belief that once you "become a spiritual being" you need to

show it through meditation, yoga, veganism, and other modalities.

Even though these practices have aided me in my personal development, that doesn't

mean they're required for spirituality.

Plus, there is no such thing as "becoming a spiritual being" because we are all inherently

spiritual beings.

If you think you're more spiritually evolved than your partner, that could be your ego

talking and what is ultimately putting stress on your relationship.

For example, four years ago I adopted a plant-based diet, ultimately fuelling my interest in spirituality.

I immediately started to encourage my former partner to eat vegetarian/vegan because I

thought it would help him in the same ways it helped me.

It took me a long time to understand how, in some ways, that negatively affected my

relationship with my partner.

We need to accept the fact that there is no right or wrong when it comes to connecting

with your Higher Self.

We are all on our own spiritual journeys and there is no "one path towards enlightenment."

Fostering A Healthy Relationship While Pursuing Different Paths

There is a false notion that's common within the New Age Spirituality movement: you shouldn't

maintain relationships with people who don't hold the same spiritual beliefs as your own.

You don't need to abandon old relationships; in fact, you may find that you'll learn

even more from them than you will from more like-minded people.

In terms of your relationship, keep in mind that you don't need to share your thoughts

or impose knowledge onto your partner.

By focusing on your personal growth and raising your own vibration, you raise the vibration

of the collective, and in particular, the vibration of those closest to you.

My former partner and I were together for four years.

Over the course of our relationship, we both changed immensely.

Our values, our beliefs, and our interests changed radically over that time period; however,

we maintained a loving and healthy relationship by always being open-minded and not imposing

information onto each other.

Don't get me wrong, we both taught each other a lot and exposed one another to new

ideas constantly, but we also understood that we weren't always ready to accept knowledge

at the same time as each other.

We expressed many of our beliefs, but also knew when to keep quiet, ultimately allowing

us to grow together instead of apart.

Maybe You Are More "Spiritually Evolved" Than Your Partner

To be clear, I believe we are all following our true paths and that there is no correct

definition of spirituality.

However, if you are struggling with the fact that you and your partner are going down different

roads, these are some of the qualities I've observed in people I believe to be in alignment

with their spiritual paths:

Non-judgemental Loving, compassionate, and kind

Open-minded Willing to talk about anything (including

darker subjects) Educated (not necessarily conventional education,

but rather a deep curiosity about the universe and society)

Not ego-centric Doesn't equate success with finances

Altruistic and generous Great listeners

Practice detachment Honesty (this includes being honest with themselves)

Doesn't shame you for feeling emotional extremes, particularly the negative ones (I

see this a lot in New Age Spirituality, as there's a stigma surrounding negative emotions.

If there was something truly wrong about feeling emotions, our souls wouldn't have chosen

to incarnate into a human body with such a broad emotional spectrum)

It's okay to be in love with someone that doesn't embody all of these qualities; in

fact, it's beautiful.

However, if you're bothered by the fact that your partner lacks one or more of these

qualities or you're working towards attaining these and your partner is not, then perhaps

you need to reconsider your relationship.

How To Deal With Letting Go Of Your Partner

Thinking you're more spiritually evolved than your partner could also be intuition,

a sign that your soul is telling you to move on from your partner.

People come in and out of our lives for a greater purpose, each one teaching us an important

lesson.

If you recognize that your partner has fulfilled his/her purpose in your life, then it's

okay to let that person go.

Appreciate the fact that you shared your relationship and learned from it, but also have the strength

to let your partner go if the time comes.

If you choose to end your relationship, or alternatively, if you're on the receiving

end of a break-up, try to put yourself in your partner's shoes.

Empathy can be one of our greatest allies in navigating through perceivably dark times.

Understanding why you and your partner are no longer serving each other can also be helpful

in accepting a break-up.

During the last few months of our relationship, my former partner voiced his uncertainty about

our future, which I had difficulty understanding until I tried perceiving our relationship

through his eyes.

Once I stepped into his position, I could finally grasp why he felt this way and I knew

in my heart that letting go of him was the best decision for both of us.

Instead of using the term break-up, we referred to our separation as a sabbatical.

This made our "sabbatical" easier because it wasn't meant to be a termination of our

friendship or the innate love we feel for one another.

We both appreciated each other and were grateful for how much we learned from our relationship,

but ultimately we knew that the romance aspect of it was no longer serving either of us.

By empathizing with one another and trusting that the universe would guide us on our own

paths, we ended our relationship as beautifully as it started and are still good friends.

Final Thoughts

We all define spirituality differently and you may find that your own definition changes

as you grow.

If someone has different beliefs than you, recognize the beauty in individuality and

duality.

Remember, sometimes love can block us from knowing when to let go of our partners and

other times the ego blinds us from seeing our partner's true beauty.

Regardless of whether you're in a relationship or not, know that the love you share with

another person can also be fuelled within yourself.

"The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how

blind that was.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.

They're in each other all along."

— Rumi

Africa Archield | The Relationship Between Belief, Decision, and Action - Duration: 3:02.

Hey, guys!

This is Africa.

Great to be talking to you, today.

I am sitting here, in the outskirts of the band of hurricane Harvey and I want to talk

to you about belief, decision, action.

And, I think it's just really, this a really concrete way to discuss the subject mainly

because the main thing to remember is with something like a natural disaster like this,

you can kind of see my trees are swaying, the winds going, the rain is coming down.

With a natural disaster, you have a belief.

So even if the hurricane was bearing down on you, you knew you're going to be in one

of those places that were going to be hit.

You either believed you're going to be OK or not, right.

So you had that belief and you made a decision to stay, or not, and when you made that decision,

got in action.

If you decided it wasn't safe for you to be where you were, you made a decision to leave

and you got into action.

You made a plan and you grabbed whatever it is that you thought was necessary to grab,

and you made arrangements to get out of town to a place you felt was safer.

If you felt like you had the belief that you were going to be just fine, you made the decision

then to stay.

You got into action and, let's see, put plywood up on your house against your windows, and

you did everything necessary to prepare.

So I knew I was going to be on the outskirts, of course, I had to believe I would be OK.

So I stayed and I got into action and even on my balcony, everything is against the house.

I made sure my hanging plants are down.

So it's a very concrete this way, right.

We could tell exactly what to do because what's coming is imminent, right.

It's this hurricane and I must prepare.

But those same kinds of things happen in real life.

There are certain beliefs that you have about yourself, about the world, about other people

and because you have those beliefs you make certain decisions.

And because you make those decisions, you have certain actions.

So if you find that you're having actions that you don't like or you're wondering why

you do certain things, back up a couple of steps.

Back up past decision and start looking at your beliefs because your beliefs determine

your decisions, which determine your actions.

And so, if you're going to change your actions, start with your beliefs.

Right, that's all I got right now.

#PeaceJoyLove See you, bye!
