Attending painting class

This is so haunting

This is very spiritually magnificent to me somehow. So heartwarming

What's the seed and the apple? Please elaborate the difference between the two with examples for better understanding. The post is too vague for me..

That's huge.. Lot lol..

Andrew sent me this pic of himself to scare me in sleep lol. He looks so Italian. Good job I love his lips.. Adoro le sue labbra

This Maya city I will call Phalenke. It seems there is already a city with this name but it's called Palenque. But I don't like this name. So I will keep it as Phalenke. This looks like a Martian city. A city on Mars.. It looks like Atlantis.. Although it's on a planet it gives the impression Iike it's underwater. It looks magnificent.

I use a very simple technique. I go to bed and set an alarm for 4 hours or sometimes 5 hours depending on how i feel. And then wake up. I will be in bed but just try to keep eyes open.. After that I will walk a bit or if it's not possible then just sit silent for some time but still sleepy. Then try to say some things like counting numbers. After like 15 mins fall back to sleep. This time the lucid dreaming begins until morning. I automatically fall asleep after that. Until morning. Another 5 hours later.. If I want to snap out of the lucid dream I start yelling to myself like "wake up" and it usually works..

@Mikael89 I'm sorry it was a young girl. You can Google about it. It's fresh in the news like 48 hours ago. I wish there was more awareness about it.

The news just hit right now and I received a notification. And what I read just now baffles me beyond belief. My mind says "how could this be?“ I wish this on no one. It's tragic to say the least that even in 21st century we still experience brainwashing and obsessive devotion in followers to the point of mania. Sometimes I cannot make sense of it at all. But this is food for thought for everyone. We must be careful while navigating this world of spirituality and consciousness. Meanwhile it is meant to help us deal with life in better ways, it's misuse and lack of discernment can cause a lot of harm. Your life matters most. Spirituality is only a tool that helps through the maze. You might be going through the dark night of the soul but please understand that it's only a short while. Spirituality is all about light. If you feel something is not working for you, then please don't do it. Don't give into some random esoteric belief. Remember your mental sanity is of prime importance. So the news is out there right now that a follower of Teal Swan has committed suicide. This is tragic. I pray for the deceased so that they may rest in peace. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50478821 Please understand that everything has it's pros and cons. And to blindly follow any person is dangerous. Always use the discernment of your mind. And do not stray into darkness. Thank you. Condolences to the deceased and their family.

So recently my lucid dream consisted of seeing a beautiful city which I called a spiritual city. It was very similar to the Maya cities but since I'm so attracted to Italy and Greece, I mean ancient Rome and Greece, I wanted this spiritual city to also have ancient pillars and columns from the Greco-Roman empire. This spiritual city is beautiful.

I have observed a lot of relationships in people around me. Time to time I come across so many examples of bad relationships, toxic relationships and abusive relationships and how much hurt and damaged people get because of those. My family itself has been example.. It seems that it's important to understand the behavior of a person in a relationship before falling in love and letting them run riot in your life. Often times we just do not lay down enough boundaries to keep such relationships out of our lives. But I have observed a certain pattern in most of toxic relationships and it has always aroused my curiosity. I see that a lot of men who are nice and good are sometimes too shy to approach a woman.. They just don't have the hunting nature. They remain to themselves busy in their own worlds with their own stuff. And some women who are psychopathic easily spot them and approach them and try to seduce them. These men then get entangled into such toxic relationships with these women. And they emerge out hurt and damaged. The exact same thing happens with women. The men who are on the prowl look for a woman who is gentle and accepting and caring and attach to her like a parasite attaches to a host. The woman then gets manipulated into believing that it's love and the relationship quickly becomes toxic and the woman emerges out of it feeling damaged emotionally. So this applies to both genders. I sometimes feel like a good woman gets a bad man and a good man gets a bad woman as a partner. This could be because of the predatory skills applied by the other. It seems like good men/women do not end up with other good men/women due to this phenomenon of being hunted by a narcissist/sociopath /psychopath/toxic person. It seems like the bad people get to the front of the food chain of relationships and sniff out the good people for themselves.. Thus leaving no room for good people to find other good people since good people aren't very aggressive with finding a partner for themselves. This is something I observe but it could also be my assumption/projection. I would love to know your thoughts and opinions on this. It's just something that occurred to my mind while observing different relationship dynamics.

So today has been an awesome day I got good sleep. And things have been going good today.. One thing I want to do is maintain a diary in which I can record things.. Like I want to do. Let me see how this works out.. I'm hopeful that things will be good from now on

@Raptorsin7 I do long meditation for hours. But not really good. Sometimes leads to lucid dreaming and OBE which I don't like. I would rather do short spans of 15 min meditation and use it for self enquiry and insights. Or for calming the mind. But no more long hours for me. Gets dizzy.. Also I don't really believe in enlightenment. .

@Raptorsin7 lol not everyone on the forum is going for spirituality and enlightenment. A lot of people are for personal development, life purpose and relationships and Journaling

It won't be scary. Don't worry at all. But I wouldn't recommend meditation for long time. Just short periods like 15 mins.

@Anna1

Men are beautiful too, eh just kidding.

Doesn't seem like a good idea. My boyfriend kept hunting me and I responded out of empathy. In the end I was left drained and sick and almost unable to function. I found him attractive and a good match for my weak personality because he was a strong one so it compensated and I felt like I will get direction in life. But instead in the end I lost direction.. When you are responding out of empathy, it's because of guilt tripping. The only best relationship is where both are contributing to each other's growth. In such relationships we respond out of respect and admiration and affection for each other. No fights. No demands. No playing games. No reason for upset or conflict. Very harmonious and very peaceful relationship. Observe your relationship like you are observing yourself in meditation. And maintain a journal so you can a track of important events or fights and the reasons for the fights. Or insecurities that emerge in your mind. One sign of a good relationship is good communication. If you can't honestly tell your partner how you feel about their behavior, that means that person is controlling you, like it was in my case. Such a relationship is not going to find resolution to problems leading to stress. Anger. Resentment buildup. If the person is good they allow reasonable communication without saying things like "im busy" "I am going bye" "I don't have time for this"... Sometimes they could really be busy. But they will choose a suitable time to talk about it. Once you are in a relationship, you have to be very careful. Read about energy vampires. You have to be careful that the relationship doesn't drain you. One way to track a toxic relationship is to ask yourself "what am I losing in this relationship?".... Is it health, money, peace of mind, sleep, emotions,... Remember to keep emotional and mental safety guidelines. That is boundaries. Let's say if your girlfriend cheats on you. Then she has broken the boundaries of emotional safety guidelines. This means that you will always feel emotionally targeted or emotionally weak/insecure around them. This is not healthy even if you forgive the partner. Your emotional safety net has been broken by their cheating behavior. you will be no longer emotionally safe with such a person. This will play out on your feelings and how you feel overall in the relationship. That's why you have to watch out for signs and clues that will tell you the future course of the relationship and its pitfalls. Its easy to be carried away by emotion If you think practically about the relationship it helps a lot.

I just don't watch TV at all. Is this normal ?

Personally I feel like none of these pills work. The whole love game is a combination of everything. And people get success in so many unthinkable ways. It's like the roll of the dice. If you got lucky then you got it. The whole gamut of love and life is a combination of everything. But you can't really be immoral in this world and expect good things to happen to you. So that would be wrong advice. It's a combination of genetics, character, personality, values, good looks, respect, boldness, attraction, status and only then you can make it. Plus luck. I'll call it the all-pill...

I like this answer. Thanks for your response. But I have a doubt. I understood that the villainous queen will get her or his benefit at the expense of the people pleaser. Now my doubt is how should the people pleasing queen stop responding to the shadow and get rid of her behavior because obviously her behavior is leading to her becoming the doormat which is against her benefit, so how can she overcome this and prevent this from happening. Thanks

That's a good thing that you're conscious of the relationship. That's an important factor

I will work hard in my life and I won't be a sucker. I have a deep core in me full of divine love. If I can love someone else unconditionally, I can also love myself unconditionally
