Lol..you got me jammin' over here. My cat looking at me like...so, I gotta start paying bills now..thought you were for free.???

Thick, small, big, tiny, medium, round, square, triangular, circular, oblong, hairy, bald, oval, rectangular, cubical, cylindrical, rhombotic, crescentic, spherical, pentagonal, trapezoidal, heptagonal, doesn't matter to me. Who it's attached to is what counts.

Ouch!! That hurts.

@Lila9. I couldn't have said it better.

I told you it wouldn't make you feel better, but I was led to convey that message to you. I wasn't trying to do anything and I didn't expect you to feel the love from reading words on a computer screen coming from a stranger. That was not my intention. My sending that message to you came from the Universe working through me. I hesitated to send it because I knew it wouldn't make a difference to you, but my heart kept saying please do. So I did. I wish I could learn to follow my heart more in my personal life but my egoic mind keeps getting in the way. It's a bit harder when I'm in the trap to free myself but I'm working on mental freedom by removing myself from myself and seeing myself from a meta perspective so I can free myself from the mental trap the mind has grown so accustomed to. I'm learning how to feel from the heart and not listen to the mind but to use it as the tool it was intended to be. I wish you all the best and I will still send you love and more love, because I have lots to give.

Its ok. I will not take that away from you, but when it comes to how the mind works it's not about what the ego prefers, it's about programming. Affirmations aren't needed if you're already that which you wish to become. My brief explanation to you isn't enough for you to fully grasp what I'm saying but I'm not coming from a place of what I prefer, but from a place of how the subconscious works and that's what affirmations are targeting. Goal setting is different from what I'm speaking of. Setting goals is great but, in this case, we're speaking of changing how you view yourself and that can only be done by targeting the subconscious which knows nothing about the past or future, only the now moment. You're speaking about actions, something to work towards. I'm speaking about a way of BEING. If you are an angry person, you can take action by going to anger management classes, but if you are trying to use affirmations to try to change yourself, you have to target the subconscious and saying I WILL is keeping you in a becoming state not the actual state. Study the Universal "law of assumption" and you will understand more of what I'm saying. I'm speaking about affirmations, not setting goals, there's a difference.

Nice. But saying I Am.... is more effective than I WILL BE. Affirmations are for the subconscious mind which only knows the present moment. Saying "I will" is keeping himself in a state of "I will" and never reaching there. The I AM is the operant power. Saying I WILL has no power because it is suggesting that you are not; and since it is your state if being that matters when it comes to change, reaffirming the I AM state is where all the power lies. I WILL is a state of waiting. Saying I AM an amazing person with intention and feeling is more effective than saying I WILL BE an amazing person. But just saying affirmations with no feeling or intention behind it is useless because the logical mind will interrupt the flow if its not aligned with what the subconscious believes. He won't believe it at first but with enough repetition and feeling the subconscious will slowly begin to accept it be true. Saying affirmations alone can take a while for results to occur unless there's a drastic shift in consciousness. From what he's describing, he needs a massive shift which can maybe help with meditation along with some major inner work. But doing this is better than staying negative and not aligning his thoughts with Truth. I wish him well.

It all depends on what type of women you're dealing with. That is no baseline theory to work off of...don't fool yourself just because it sounds good to your ears or it's what you've experienced. Like you said, it's all theory.

@trentonI feel your pain. I will say nothing else to you other than you are loved. The Universe loves you. You are overflowing with love, so much, your container cannot hold it. It's feeling like hate to you but its actually love. I love you, we all love you, everything will be alright. I'm not just saying this to comfort you, nor trying to make you feel better, because it won't. I was led by my heart to say this to you. How you feel about this message is up to you, but it was meant for you to hear. That's it.

Do one with yourself then

?

"This is not coming out of nowhere" (excuse the double negative) is right, it's coming from delusion. Developing yourself spiritually doesn't mean boring, emotional or less masculine. People change all the time, so does sexual attraction preferences. It's not one size fits all. Sometimes we surprise ourselves when we find ourselves being attracted to people we don't normally find attractive. We aren't making that decision. The subconscious is. We don't choose to be attracted, it just happens. Our own state of consciousness will determine what is attractive to us not the logical mind. This is why people can get turned off from what attracted them in a person to begin with.

This response is immaculate.

Notice she didn't say, tall, handsome or good looking....thats a myth. Fairytale. Women are more emotional so their likes will be more on how you make them feel. Men like physical so they think women care more about that. Of course, it helps, but not that important. Not even a big you know what is relevant. Is how you use it. Men rave about how emotional women are but guys can easily adapt to our likes while women are more stuck because looks are harder to change than personality traits. Even tho these days for women it's getting easier to change their looks, but when the sheets come off....WATCH OUT. You might get spooked.

Lol..ill try tomorrow when I'm awake. That wasn't much help because I'm hitting all kinds of symbols because thats all I see. Ill try on my mobile

"huh"

Thanks for your input. People like him is what's needed in the scientific community to open their minds to the unquantifiable nature of Consciousness.

https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=bernardo+kastrup&form=HDRSC3&first=1 Anybody here familiar with Bernardo Kastrup and his philosophical ideas or has read any of his books? Just saw him in an interview and found him interesting. I've heard his name before but never listened to him speak. He said some things that really opened my eyes, and it was quite an interesting interview. I was curious what most of the more philosophical members here thought about his philosophy and world view and is he highly respected in his field of expertise. He seemed very humble and likeable and seems to have an established audience. Would like to know what you think about him. Anybody.

Its not that you exists and I don't as humans. The Universe is holographic; and one holographic being cannot differentiate the difference between another holographic being. We are holograms of the one Source. No-thing and Everything exists simultaneously. You and I are Source (God) existing from a different perspective in God's mind. You are the one observing the body/mind. You are God and only God exists. You are the Universe pretending to be human. You get to experience a part of the Infinite, which is you. You are experiencing yourself as Source, so am I, but it's the one Source . The same thing looking through your eyes is the same thing looking through mine. You are me and I am you. The real eternal you, that is...not the egoic mind or the apparent separate self. There is no self, only God appearing as a self. Your imagination is God and you are imagining everything including yourself.

The bald head alone will do. You need muscles for wife beaters to work. Sorry Leo. His muscles are hidden in his forehead warped around his "gift of gab" brain tissues. Only smart women would be attracted to those muscles; and he doesn't attract smart women only emotional puppeteers. I'm going to detention for this...see you guys on the other side.

@integralcan you walk me through on how to quote a specific part of someone's comment, instead of quoting the whole thing to make a reply. It's the only thing I have a problem doing in the reply section. I see everybody doing it, but I struggle with that part. I know how to hit "quote" to reply to the whole thing but to take it apart is what I need to know how to do. Thank you.

Aww...thank you, so are you. I've been watching him lately and find his views interesting and enlightening.

Thanks for your feedback.

Yeah, baby...its the "wife beater" baby. Wear the "wife beater" shirt and you get 'em all day everyday. Plus the bald head. Bald-headed guys rock.
