It's such a huge skyscraper sized truck to be hit by, when you have the realisation fear is the greatest deception, isn't it? It had me motioning through my day, totally disconnected from reality, seeing every way fear fed into the narrative of my life.

I think you made this post to justify your personal judgement of dog owners and their approach to care

I'm deadly series - read fiction. You get into another characters head. Into their world.

Wow, I jumped into this thread and I was about to post 'sounds like stage testosterone' Something something great minds

Exactly - which is why how it is phrased makes all the difference to how it is received. I personally do not like speaking about structures within society with any sort of gendered attribute. I find it needlessly polarizing and in some cases completely incorrect. It also runs the risk of men and women feeling shame for things they are not responsible for - but have the power to change.

@Hojo I feel his motivation is fear of death.

Unfortunately humans have bred and changed dogs evolution through selective breeding & training. Some dogs have been bred to be dependant on humans in a way that means they prefer an unnatural environment (IE indoors). I don't claim this is correct. We can witness more of this in short-nosed breeds like pugs (constant breathing issues that need thousands in surgery). Dachshunds who's spines break just existing or doing normal dog shit. German shepherds with backs bread for an 'aesthetic' downslope that end up disabled. Bully breeds selectively bred for aggression that we punish for exisiting. Let's not even get into greyhound racing! Unnaturally fast track turns that break their delicate back hocks. Dogs that literally snap their spines while racing from the sheer power of their legs and speed.... What humans have done to dogs is disgusting.

@UnbornTao What you are doing is bullying now. You've repeatedly called your assessment out over a long span of time. Irrespective of it being correct or truth, it's clear targetting and pretty low bar.

But he ain't gonna know which one of the shitloads of things he does will work. He changes shit too much and I wouldn't class him as scientist. His method is whack - but a pioneer, yes. He's N=1

This was legit my actual thought - I assumed he would have gone for advice there cos there's a lot more, er... Care? Required.. for arse play

It was actually a demented turd attempt at a joke, because it is a topic about cunnilingus

I think this is the cusp of where desire/aversion begins to colour emotional landscapes - and invite a whole host of other emotions to arise codependently with feelings and thoughts. Overall, I feel like I am not certain about anything on the topic.

I think you have a solid point - it could be either. Open to interpretation. I do think there is a lot of egoic drive to Byran. He wants have fame and be remembered.

It could be - I more saw it as unclear boundaries and not conforming to societies norms. The boundaries part because this is the sort of private enjoyment between couples that is part of the selective bond shared. Boundaries help define that private space and strengthen connection. But hey we all have weird patterns. Man though FUCK I was taken aback - I think he could have shared all that without the personal part! I think he is doing what marketers do - spinning a narrative and story. Personally it turns me off, and there are much better sources of information for this stuff.

I think we could all do without the sardonic comment.

I love my dogs! Pure bliss to my life

Might be meaning feelings - but I am only guessing. Emotions and feelings are different. But it's going to depend how terms are defined. In my worldview feelings are direct raw subjective experience. Emotions are more a structured psycho-biological pattern involving feeling, interpretation, physiology, impulse and meaning. Some people even bring affect into this mix - which would be a pre-conceptual energetic tone. This is getting complex because we are hitting a strange roadblock : at what level of consciou awareness does a sense of 'self' arise? And how exactly are we defining the self as it applies here?

Frustration typically is less intense: arises from something blocking a goal or expectations. Mild. Thoughts arise coupled with the feeling typically 'this situation isn't working'. It's internal and is simmers. It's a discernment Anger is stronger more charged response to something perceived as wrong, unfair or threatening. Causes can be accumulated frustration, injustice, hurt, disrespect etc stronger and more explosive. More likely to be expressed outwardly, sometimes aggressively. It is usually a judgement related emotion. Focus 'someone / situation is wrong'.

I would argue they feel frustrated. Maybe anger can come up as a result. But it's frustration. Reinfoces my claim people don't understand there own inner emotions/feelings and default to miss labelling a lot of things as anger. Especially men.

Yep aversion too - it causes equal suffering. Although aversion can be looked at as the desire depending on frame. All I can impart is that a byproduct of real spirituality - truth seeking - was emotional healing and dissolving of conditioning. I am ten fold more internally regulated. It does get easier. I never persued truth to heal. But fell into its gravity due to extreme suffering. Godspeed to us both 🪽

@TruthFreedom sounds like a sort of "allowing" accepting and letting go of feeling/emotion. Which is healthy processing. That process becomes like a default habit the more we do it. It was key to assisting my own emotional regulation. Radical self forgiveness is a big one!

Perhaps some more nuance to titrate out your views; do you disgree with teaching kids things they dislike, thus potentially creating a hatred and negativity to schooling in them? Turning them off structured education. If we teach kids things that genuinely interest them, we foster a love of learning. Or, are you more wary of any external structures being forced in those too young to consent?

I suppose I would need to know what you mean by "control". I only think it is possible to mildly influence them once arisen. But if we are talking "allowing" or "not allowing" I don't think so. Spiritual work has had a positive effect on my emotional regulation - which could be a measure of control. Again depends on definition Are you deterministic? Free will awakening? Dovetails with no-self

Ones innate affect and temperament would definitely effect the rotary switch on anger
