“Love remains the same”

On my last trip, I was in a sleep state, out of body, maybe called astral projection. During this experience I had 100s of perspectives in a single inbreathe. It was like flipping through pages of boxed realities. Honestly there’s not much to recollect but anything I had the desire to know, I could find instantly, unfortunately it wasn’t necessarily saved for ego memory lol

@Consilience thanks for sharing. You speak of resonance.No other word could do you justice but Love. I’m curious if he is married, he definitely could be limiting himself through his philosophy. But again I don’t think this means he’s suppressing or excluding anything, not in his current reality. I guess he’s just doing him as best as he can

If anything, martial arts mastery is what brought him to his realization. I think It’s actually a choice, an interpretation, to use Love as a faucet of Truth.

Could you imagine a discussion between Ralston and Matt Khan

? love it the devil ? lies in misunderstanding

@Elham Interesting! Thanks for sharing

By not believing what others say is the required amount of calcium and instead, listen to my body I like using my body for reference because it’s much simpler, and it communicates by energy flow

Exactly. That’s why we don’t need to expect to catch an feelings from someone who’s teaching about Truth

@mandyjw I can resonate with anyone. Do you know what it means to resonate? (Or at least I like to think I can )

He doesn’t make me feel anything I don’t want to feel. When I look inside his soul, truly connect, I just see me. Are you asking me to judge him as being incomplete? That’d just make me feel incomplete because I can’t know anything more than what I interpret/perceive, judging him is judging myself. Sure I can assume but it’s only as true as I think it is

But who has problems, Ralston? Does he say this?

The only thing missing is the congruency in your mental maps...I think this has everything to do with meaning as no teaching is complete in of itself Themselves?

What makes love an absolute is what can make everything an absolute, defining it as such

@Leo Gura I am pointing out your bias Leo. I actually agree with you but not talking about love doesn’t make him wrong or any less knowing imo @mandyjw I’m not sure why we can’t say what ralston talks about still points to love even if he doesn’t choose to describe it that way I don’t think anything can be overlooked or under appreciated going inward

I’d suggest throwing in some meditation practice, but even more beneficial might be meditating or being conscious while you have your wine. Thought is the creator of the addictions, fears, shames, worries and meditation can cure all by giving yourself the power back, accepting responsibility, this is self love But if you like pina colada? ? haha joking but yes I think that must be a euro thing, interesting

Good point, i don't think Ralston want's anyone to believe him or should I say “think” that they can believe/trust him

Seems like a conflict of beliefs, all of which are adopted. I just got the book the way of the superior man by david deida and i am excited to give it a read. Cant really recommend it yet but you seem to be looking for more grounded beliefs you can align with. Sometimes experience is the best way to figure out these personal principles you wish to live by Good luck!

The facets of Truth can be endless or infinite The trap lies in the defining, before the spiritual path everyone has already heard of love but most have not heard of Truth or Enlightenment or even Being

I think self abandonment impacts people differently, this seems to make you feel quite unsafe "in bed". Maybe there's some trauma that needs to be released. I might look into somatic sensual healing for men

unless of course we have expectations of mathematical art

I imagine it helps with blood and lymph stagnation and toxin build up in the legs which will greatly increase muscle soreness and sensitivity to acid build up from exercise

Is absolute love a feeling state or all feeling states?

@Leo Gura Couldn't that just be your interpretation of how he chooses to bypass the "love trap" people so easily fall victim to by already having their own ideas of what love is and means...the love bandwagon

Hehe Leo's biased because of the differing values in meaning/interpretation imo
