  1. Some women will interpret lack of jealousy as lack of containment. Are you really taking ownership of the relationship if you're so flippant over who she sleeps with? Not saying it has to be that way, just pointing out a potential trap.
  2. I’ve never had a problem with “stability” in meditation. I don’t think that’s a serious concern for most people. I’ve done 1000+ hours of meditation just sitting crossed legged. I usually just use one or two pillows, maybe a cushion. If I’m feeling lazy, I might also lean against a wall. That’s plenty of stability. I’ve not tried sitting in a chair, so I can’t verify its effectiveness. But I imagine that if you have an ergonomically designed chair, that could be beneficial. I may try that in the future. All the time you’re going to spend stretching to be able to sit in full lotus comfortably, you could have spent just meditating. And for what? Basically just to ruin your hips and knees in the end. You don’t need a special pose for meditation. This is a distraction. Just be physically comfortable. You could even meditate lying down, although that does increase liability for falling asleep.
  3. The point I'm trying to make is that 2 cannot exist. There never was 2 of anything or a relative plane.
  4. The contradiction is if you're thinking it can occur between two beings. Or that it even requires two beings at all. You don't need two supremely conscious beings, just one. Which is you.
  5. You're just not considering how deep truth can go. Truth is way beyond some honest communication in a relationship.
  6. It might be pure by human standards. But it's not unconditional, and it's not existential love.
  7. "Existential love" "2 beings". A contradiction in terms.
  8. The prioritization of truth is still very limited. Mostly you are talking about basic, relative truths that are needed for the relationship. And your relationship is a vehicle for your survival needs, not existential truth. Which is fine, but just admit what it is and what it isn't. How much truth do you want? There is a huge spectrum.
  9. Seeking personal glory is the entire problem.
  10. No this is false. Relationships ARE conditions. They are not about truth in any existential sense at all. Being more authentic is generally good, but that will only make your conditions more authentic. It does not remove them.
  11. You will not recieve True Love from any human relationship. This is a trap. Stick to conscious, conditional relationships with humans.
  12. You make many good points. You can connect the dots in all different kinds of ways.
