Princess Arabia

Yes, I agree. Already we're having suggestions about a dislike button.

I check it first before I come to the forum most times. Even if I don't log in to see what's new and interesting.

The reason why is on the blog in the introduction.

I understand. I guess it's like how one learns like kinesthetic, visual and auditory. Depending on personality type or how the brain works. Not sure what determines that. I'm more of a reading and listening.

You mean yummy interactive drama. Hehe

Well, now you'll know as people make comments.

Those tips about reading books were good tips. I never really thought about doing that before. I read a lot of articles, magazines, newsletters etc., I'm interested in; and even though they're not books, I can still apply some of your tips to those. The book I'm currently reading, I don't think it's necessary as it's a book on Spirituality and things are pretty straightforward and looking up stuff might only be a distraction and maybe contradictions as it applies to the person reading it; but in the future, I definitely will start to pause and do some research and take mental pictures even though that already automatically takes place while reading. That Sahari is definitely beautiful. Very serene. Nice to watch when you just want to admire earth's beauty with no storylines attached.

@Leo GuraA question about your blog posts. Do you recommend, or is it a good idea to start a thread specifically about your blog posts. This way users can make comments about them without, if preferred, starting a new thread, especially if it's just a short comment or just to say something about them. Sometimes I want to say something about a blog post you made but it's not worthy of starting a thread about. Let me know what you think and I'll just use this one. If not, I'll delete this thread or you can lock it. Thanks.

.....or maybe for not attending a P Diddy freak off 😜

Summer and fall every time for this Island gal. I don't like cold weather. Don't like too hot either like above 90, I like it just right 70-80 ish with lots of sun and blue skies. I think coming on to fall is the perfect weather. Not too hot, not too cold. I dislike being hot and sweaty too, only if I'm making out. I can deal with it then as long as it's not drippy. Yes, I'm picky when it comes to the temperature. One of the few things I'm picky about in life because I'm an easy go lucky kind of gal. Alaska, here I come!! Not. Nor Canada.

Things would switch up in a heartbeat if most men knew how to please a woman sexually, and I mean really good. You don't see teenagers or very early 20's women needing to be wine and dined, needing too much foreplay or needing to be in a relationship of wanting a lot of mental stimulation before sex, do you. Most older women 30's and up will tell you they were wild in their younger days or had a few scooby doo (I find that term funny) sex and sex was more spontaneous and free. It's that they've been with enough males in their younger days and because the sex was so so; and now they need all that extra stuff to get them going and feeling ready. Men are finding it harder because women just can't be bothered for all that just to get let down if the guy doesn't please them sexually. After all, you are entering their bodies and sometimes it can be painful if they aren't fully stimulated. I know I will get flack from some of you men, but it's just what it is; and you will tell me that I haven't been with the right men and yadie yada. All this women need to be this and women need stimulation and emotional connection stems from all that. Let her find her a man who really satisfy her in bed, he'll be begging her to leave him alone or he be saying her sex drive is high. No, you just know how to please her, and she just can't get enough. Most all women's sex drive is high, it's just they are more selective because of the cost of giving it up and she's been there too many times. Now, she needs incentive. Go ahead, lay it on because I don't know what the hell i'm talking about. Young girls don't care because they haven't been there yet; and that's why a lot of men love young girls and virgins and women who don't sleep around. Not much to compare them to. Drunk girls in bathrooms and clubs and bars are less inhibited which is a state of being carefree just like the young so they'll give it up without too much foreplay which is a turn on for some men who can't be bothered with all that extra foreplay baggage if his intention is just to get laid.

I don't recommend bullshit. Hehe.

In your imagination.

I wonder why? Truth need not be impatient or worry about it's cousin. Seems like you're on shaky ground. Laugh a little. Seems like you're suffering a lot or trying to escape something...which will only be yourself.

I was expecting you to say get your foot chopped off and we'll see about there's no I, but I like the" go work in a factory in Indonesia" one. I hear Indonesia is beautiful so that sounds cool.

There's no I.

I am familiar with devotion. I do that spontaneously, but not to anything or anyone but my own being, presence. I put my hand on my heart and feel the presence or however I'm doing it at the time. You're still speaking about devotion to something outside, that's fine, but not for me. In the end, it really doesn't matter, it's just a matter of taste and preference. All I know is I'm all there is. Not Princess Arabia because that's just a name that represents an Avatar. Life itself, existence.

Whatever happens is what was needed to be done. You and others miss the point of non-doership. It's not that nothing is being done or decisions aren't being made its that they are being done without anyone's involvement. It's like a system, this system is just happening just like this conversation. It's hard to understand because the ego wants to take credit for everything but there's no ego so there.

I know, me neither.

I don't think that's what he was saying. At least that's not what I'm saying. Life and business goes on but it's from a place of what's happening and not I have to do this or else...... Life is taking care of itself and that includes when one thinks they have to do and do and do and not understand that the doing is doing them and not the other way around. There's nothing that needs to be done for whatever is already taking place to take place: it's only the mind that thinks so, likewise its only the mind that suffers.

Lol. Life is hilarious. Imagine someone getting out of a thread but still in the same spot they were in when they got in. Get out of my thread, please, while still sitting on their couch.

I like this. Nothing wrong with listening to gurus or Spiritual teachers. For me, it's when they are worshipped or idolized that's the difference. They're the only ones I listen to, the only person I share, the only message I resonate with.....all these are symbols that you're idolizing. If a message isn't filled with love or showing me how to go within and harness my own powers, water my own seeds or is somewhat focused without, to me it's not the real message or it's useless. I'd rather the message that there's no one, no free will, nothing is happening and it's all a dream, nothing matters, you're already dead, all that you can't do anything with and is of no value to the individual, than a message telling me to look elsewhere other than within for anything on the Spiritual level.

I don't see an observation the same as a criticism. I.e. If I say, you're looking for hope when hope doesn't exist, or saying someone is in their ego, or saying you're missing the point about something, or highlighting something about a person to make a point or a suggestion. Those aren't criticisms to me but saying, 90% of the people on the forum are seeking relief and evasion, to me that's a criticism. Maybe I'm being biased, I'm not sure; but I try not to criticize people only point out things they're doing that I may disagree with but not from a trying to tell what to do stance but from just a having a discussion stance and point of view stance and also not try to compare what I do and talk down what they do. If you read my comments, they don't have an air of criticism to them and it's very rare I speak on what most people are on here doing and criticize people for what they do with their time and life and how they practice spirituality.

I think we're over using the phrase "high-value", or it means different things to different people.
