I think this should be the point of relationship. I don't really vibe with the whole "challenging each other to grow" thing because I've done that enough to myself and I don't need a life coach who triggers me "to grow". If i was to be with a woman it would be for support, feminine energy, sex, fun, and depth, not to "work on ourselves together" or "work through our triggers and childhood trauma" Done enough of that, I'm ready to enjoy life. And I def don't want to make a romantic partnership some self-help project.

Love what he says about "subtraction", i find that so true

@Natasha Tori Maru What a synchronicity! Yeah, unfortunately there seems to be truth behind the humor. Pursuing God can sometimes be easier than finding and maintaining a healthy and conscious relationship that not only last long but remains engaging and exciting. Even some of the greatest spiritual teachers who have mastered consciousness, have dealt with divorce, infidelity, and dissatisfaction. I find it for myself as well if I'm honest, and sometimes question if dating and long term monogamy suit my personality. I sometimes feel that relationships as we do them now are actually somewhat unnatural. Romance is a whole other beast!

My God he even threw in original Hitler speeches at the end. Unreal

Hitler and the Nazi regime were the biggest group of spineless pussies ever. And I don’t just say that because of their racism and hatred, their actual character was slimy and inefficient. It’s one thing to be ethnocentric, but it’s another to be ethnocentric AND a spineless pussy. I watched a documentary on their inner circle and it’s full of backstabbing, lying and cowardice. They would have no integrity not just towards their enemies but to each other and were quick to screw one another over for benefit. The best example of this is how so many of them fled or committed suicide once their precious regime crumbled. None of them faced the consequences or stood by their message. They even threw each other under the bus. Biggest group of pussies to exist.

Going to watch your vids. Thanks!

@Lila9 Regarding my first point, I’ve seen many hardcore female spiritual practitioners, I’m talking fully devoted teachers go back to jealousy, reactivity, and even rage over men in a community they are competing over. It’s just to point that they aren’t as transcended as it might seem. I’m not judging them, I’m definitely not over those human reactions either. But we shouldn’t act like spiritual women dont fall into heirarchy (looks, age, status), competition and monkey games either. I actually completely agree with you about women being more comfortable not knowing and men having to know everything. I think that more evolutionary, if a guy leading the clan or tribe was unsure or not confident in what he was leading, the tribe wouldn’t survive or follow him. There’s almost a survival need for arrogance and being assured. Also I think men take pride in understanding and being able to prove things to others. It is kinda silly I agree

I had this feeling after watching old footage on WW2, The Holocaust, and modern prison systems in places like Brazil, Philippines and El Salvador. We have such a fucking cushy privileged life. It makes my problems feel literally embarrassing, the things my mind is bitching about...

Hahah! He'd be rolling in his grave if Cheng Hsin was turned into some kind of religion

They do it in subtle ways, maybe it's not as obvious as men but women are playing the same spiritual ego games. Just throw a guy that 2 "spiritual" women are both attracted to into the mix and viola! Yeah, it's good to acknowledge and know this. I also find it annoying how the transcendent path has this air of superiority and labelling the path of (let's call it Love) to be silly and childish. This was one thing about studying with Ralston that kinda bugged me and ultimately why i chose to do my apprenticeship with a more heart centered, feminine style school.

I was rocking with you up until this point

You been reading Ralston lately?

I find releasing once a week with real human sex is best, if you can't get human sex best to stay on SR until you do. But that's just me.

Definitely not, I would say this is almost irrelevant, means very little.

Yes, this has been my experience with the few God Realized women I know, it can take intimacy to a whole new level as well, that's is where true Tantra exists.

For sure, and i think in general women are better at understanding this naturally. But the problem is most people don't know it's a sacred virtual reality video game so they suffer way more than needed. Think Holocaust, War, Victims, for them it wasn't just a fun game, it was a horrible nightmare that I'm sure they would wish wasn't real (or they could transcend or create space from). But then again , in the ultimate sense it's God experiencing exactly what it wants to through itself in an ignorant form, it's not like there is a "person" there and "God" somewhere else, it's just when God is being that person, it feels totally real and relatively it is. I think if more people knew that an option in the game was to wake up from it, more would play that game. Most people are not consciously playing the game of life. It's almost like a baked in wisdom to understand that enlightenment is even an option. That's really beautiful and potent, I can feel the transmission there, love it!

Hahahaha, advertise it on YT and you'll have a line!

Exactly, you guys both hit solid points. @Natasha Tori Maru Yep. If it isn't "loving" then you are being a toxic person whose heart is closed. Even if someone is acting like shit, everyone tolerates them under the name of love. And @Rafael Thundercat The amount of sexual abuse and creepiness I've seen in these containers is shocking. How many "tantra massage" guys can there be?

Totally agree, Instagram and TikTok are no mans land, it's not the place to teach anything meaningful or deep. And even worse if you yourself are trying to go deep and understand topics on a deeper level. It will scatter your attention and focus. What's better 5 min of porn addiction vid, 7 min of healthy eating, 3 min of how to talk to girls, 4 min of non dual insights, 10 min of work out tips, etc for 1.5 hours Or 1 hour of a book on self mastery plus 30 min of contemplating/journaling what you read in silence?

It takes serious balls to fully embrace life, all the pain, heartache, and suffering. Also, this whole Masculine/Feminine spirituality distinction is limited. There is no gender or sexuality to it. It is a synthesis of Nothingness and Manifestation. Remembering and Forgetting. Spirituality is realizing that everything is God and treating it as such, while also knowing that you are That consciousness and the Nothingness which witnesses the unfolding. "Wisdom is knowing I am Nothing, Love is knowing I am everything, and between the two, my life flows" Nisargaratta Maharaj (notice how he mentions nothing about feminine or masculine spirituality, yet this quote hold both (Nothingness/Love), bc true spirituality IS BOTH)

point in case, this is an extremely wise take on life and reality. It's the step beyond "I'm God/Nothingness"

I've met a few God-Realized women who truly understand who and what they are, it's rare though and it's not like they don't still have ego and human struggles. Also, it's unwise to make assumptions about the spiritual intelligence of women, you have to understand women have been barred and persecuted from spiritual schools and studies for millenia, so naturally there is less encouragement for them to pursue it. This doesn't mean they are less conscious, in fact, they are generally more conscious than men. If you go to a yoga retreat or meditation retreat, its largely filled with women. I do find they got lost in emotions too much to transcend them though, that's maybe their biggest blockage. They take their emotions as truth itself and don't acknowledge their own emotional generation enough. Just like how men become kind of autistic in how they approach "The Witness" and simply detach and become robotic towards life. No one is perfect. And honestly, I feel like women embody the principles of spirutality more naturally than men. They are more loving, present, enjoying life, and compassionate without having to practice it.

Maybe see you in the fall for the new workshop, thanks for sharing - all the best

This is a tough one, one of the toughest ones today. I agree, for most people the answer is to quit the hyper overstimulated pleasure sources. They rot your life force. Real sex pleasure is different than AI Porn pleasure

I actually find in these non-violent communication and new age type of camps the people are quite weak minded and if the slightest thing goes wrong people are quick to give up, turn on each other, or fight. It's quite ironic because they talk about love the most but its paper thin. They are fundamentally quite weak and have big egos while certainly still playing into power structures as well. I gave up on these communities because it just oozes with bullshit and ego. Especially in the domain of relationships, they act like they have transcended the "tit for tat" I do this so you do that kind of relationships. Then when they do shitty selfish things it's under the guise of "honoring their authentic truth, boundaries' or "protecting their heart"
