Cool! Hmm so what’s left....”to be” or “to accept” or “to love” ?

Teasing Anna, for judging Leo and the time on forum @Preetomgood one I am not familiar with Vedanta but Brahman sounds chill to hang out with ? be careful this thread might make a martyr out of you in Leo’s eyes ???

Wow thanks for sharing this may explain why my first and only trip become something very similar to yours, because I smoked weed too, most fear I’ve ever faced and went so far down the rabbit hole

You’re perfect ?

Looks like nahm pointing out the map never territory so not worth clinging to... @Anna1 you are a map, a very hypocritical one at that And that’s why i love you...please don’t judge me for making edits

@noip i would reflect on my expectations and attitude, honestly. Life is not fair. If you feel those are in check then keep asking for what you want and don’t stay if people continue ignoring you

@Nahm and you made them question their own faith? hahaha

@Anton_Pierre good. Lol @Nahmbut what did they want?

Had some deeper realizations recently regarding expectations, ill be observing any expectations that arise and letting go of the one's i can Guilty of emotional addiction for sure Have always watched my sugar intake since i have gotten older...more of an intuitive thing feeling how the body is impacted

Maybe they have interest in your identity because of your sincerity. Why choose to put any attention on the cult-like behavior? It seems to be present in any human structure

@possibilities I like how you described differences and reality mate. We might be going off topic a bit What if reality is you, experiencing itself? Could any differences be seen without a seer? Could an objective world even be verifiable without a you here? I did not realize Truth addict claimed happiness does not exist...lol still do not see where be says such

Love goes beyond all distinctions, therefore it can also be seen as being apart of all distinctions

I heard sexual energy is and can be used as creative energy. Feeling sexual? Do something creative and fun. Find something to be curious about, learn something new, etc @Aeris What Michael says makes sense to me, however im only 29. Older we get, the desire for sex is probably going to decrease, however, this does not mean our desire for connection, energetically, will lessen IMO

?..........? ??

A void is the feeling something is missing/lacking in your life (like a need or value). as most don't like to feel empty inside because they don't realize they are that emptiness, not the thoughts in their head which is the root of all addiction.

I really needed to reflect on this topic of boundaries

This book is amazing for understanding how to observe the self and realizing your true essence.

Excellent, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, you’re not alone, and not the minority in having that inner pain, frustration and helplessness. Sharing this book recommendation credit to Mod Cetus I’m barely an hour into it but it takes you on a journey into yourself revealing why awareness is the one tool that makes any and everything possible breathe easy ?

@Zigzag Idiot appreciate the details, I would mostly agree! It’s amazing what that space can and will do, granting freedom to be completely without the emotions. There’s also using negative reactions to create boundaries or make some kind of point and no attachment to the expression is needed. Is the difference between a socio/psychopath and a saint “me”?

The last line is separate, related to the video. The point is we cannot know whether or not we will have a negative emotional reaction before it is happening. What the video is talking about is those who get caught in the imitation game of trying to be spiritual or a good person by only expressing their positive truths and not the negative ones. I would agree we do not always have to respond negatively Did you watch the video?

The absolute best synchronization workshop in Vancouver, I only watched the last 2 parts and it is just amazing, LOVED IT

This one is real for me, "prioritizing our own needs", be aware of the conditioning habits to automatically put our needs aside Lovely, intuitive movement is what my workouts are all about these days...

@John West listen to your body, don't play on injuries, tend to them and mend them, understand how and why they occur. A strong core, stabilizer muscles and gluts are probably the best ways to prevent injury. Definitely make a preworkout or morning routine to keep you muscles flexible, balanced, and activating efficiently Also try ice baths, they do wonders for muscle recovery and injury prevention. Just be aware if youre trying to build muscle, from what i remember, there's been studies showing ice baths may reduce the amount of muscle fiber development if taken right after an intense workout. Keep doing the research and prioritizing your temple (body) Cheers
