@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

@mandyjw Breath work will help with the cold sensitivity. Of course don't go running out the door as soon as you've completed the laying down breathing sessions and feel all high but it might be worth trying. There's some good videos of Wim discussing the breathing he does climbing in the snow from what i recall, it is controlled and meditative. I've also heard the digestive system plays a role in the body's heat regulation. But yeah the skin rubbing, actually called dry scrubbing, is not wim hoff related but if you have any issues sweating, this is for lymph drainage which will improve organ function; im thinking dry scrubbing before exercise, or showering (not after or during) could be very beneficial for stimulating the release of toxins...here's a video on it

this just goes to show enlightenment can be all fun and games until someone gets hurt...all right kids play time is over

trust the feelings

Do you want to escape yourself? If you aren't you, how can they be them?

then where are you?

how can you be so sure they are stuck? Why can't they be exactly where they need to be? Are you where you are?

@Deanna it’s easy to see others but not so easy to see ourselves. focus on how to give what you wish to receive from your husband. You might think you understand life and reality but does it really matter beyond thought? Does anything matter beyond thought? If you’d like to bring Love into everything, start walking the walk of love, whatever that might mean for you; it will be oh so inspiring

@Deanna What makes you want to shake the feeling of being alone?

@assx95 on the contrary, ask yourself how is this exactly the way you need to be treated, as it is the way to learn how to bring yourself the self respect you need to bring the right vibrations into your reality with whomever you meet Short sweet and on point:
