No dude, if a girl has strong religious beliefs that go with it, it's best not to get into that mess. Let her have her beliefs, don't interfere. You can find plenty of sexy girls without a belief system that keeps them safe from... this sort of thing.

I like this answer, while not in my direct experience as of yet, I could follow along conceptually. Cool! I almost "felt it" when I took on that perspective.

It's all around you right now! When you wake up, focus on giving Love and Appreciation outwards towards the present moment, this allows space for God to come in and answer your questions for you. You can find the kingdom of heaven this way, through daily practice. Just find a picture you love a lot that looks perfect and "give" - look at how much information is in this picture alone - if you knew what went into making just this moment here, you would understand God. So long, long time ago We were the force the sea and the stone How far did you dance over the earth the first time you left? Windside wing to the ground, Where was the course and where was the sound Say love where did you go, over the valley and when did you know? Way down down to the ground We were the earth the soil and the sand No need to wait for me, give this body to the hallowed sea. Give take Away What you Give- Take Away

All good stuff.

I'm a bit bi and feel the same way, I prefer men, but a really beautiful woman is hard not to look at and my friendships with other women have always been much deeper - yet I prefer men, it's kind of annoying. Being bi is pretty normal, sexuality runs on a spectrum, there's also different deviations of sexuality as well - it's a pretty deep topic, one that I am exploring and I am finding that there is a lot of personal power in coming to understand one's sexuality, rather than repressing it. You don't need to sleep with a guy to enjoy your sexuality, just find out what you feel the most comfortable with, start slow and stuff, like writing, reading, maybe porn if you watch that. Like me, you can be attracted to the same sex, but prefer the opposite sex. Understanding your sexuality helps to balance your lower chakras, can help a person to feel more grounded in themselves; there's a lot of practical benefits.

I'm the same way, it sucks, I wish there was an easy solution for it.

If you are too honest or too real, people can fight you about it. A large number of people want to take their dishonesties to the grave with them or they don't think about mortality and so they don't think about their karma and stuff... uhm... be careful when being honest with people, too, I have been "too" honest before and there is a point where it can become toxic. My new rule is, unless someone is causing me active problems, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."

There is so much good music out there. Here's a small sample of my collection.

I think that life is a gift, even if it is difficult, the awakening experiences I have had have told me that even being aware/alive at all is a miracle - being self aware is a literal miracle. Maybe life is like a school, and we graduate by seeing through Maya? Maybe there are things that a person can only handle when they are ready and that's what it's all about? Idk, I'm just guessing.

All good!

Love with a capitol L. Also, for insights, try gazing at nature. Nature is the final result of the feedback loop that creates us - and there is so much wisdom that can be gained just by looking at it.

@Someone here But what if that same path leads to neutrality. I can see that in me, too, but I feel neutral about it because I took a shortcut towards happiness i.e. weed and coffee. Now I can think with some objectivity and I feel fully grounded, but it will wear off eventually - but in this state I would not feel attacked, whereas maybe on a different day if I wasn't feeling happy, then I might be more prone to being triggered. I think a person can get something out of conditioned happiness, provided the conditions do not go away. If I get to live in a peaceful setting with my needs met, then my thoughts will be clearer and I will be at peace and it will provide me with more opportunity to learn about peace. I find myself becoming more grounded with meds, too, also a substance/conditioned happiness. It's the left hand path. Happiness is a choice. Happiness is the will of the heart.

I relate to this, it was caused by an abusive mother and absent or ignoring father - and I didn't get along well with peers so I never learned adult skills; but I can fake adulthood very easily and so people usually don't know. I feel very much like a girl in a woman's body and would like to change this, if possible, but I have a feeling that once such traits are cemented, they are hard to get rid of entirely. Interesting that there is a name for it, that's cool. It seems as though most mental disorders are caused by being raised in bad environments - perhaps with things like this, they should focus on prevention as much as possible. I can live with it. I can hide my immaturity in one sense, and then write it out and "grow up" on this forum just through self honesty and introspection, and perhaps it will bleed out into all areas of life?

Both. This sounds like me. There's still Truth there, we don't escape death, it's always right there staring us down whether we are an eternal child or wise old soul. Why can't the eternal child, in certain circumstances assuming all it's needs are met, transcend into a wise old soul? That's how I feel. When all my needs are met, I can creatively think once again, and I can step outside of myself to see the bigger picture. Happiness must play a big role in growth. I would say that we need it. I feel full of happiness and Love right now, but it did take a bit of a process to get there.

@Preety_India It will keep trolls from sticking around for a long, long time like they often get the chance to do, and for regs - it takes like 20 points before you're kicked. Basically, you would just have to keep causing problems time and time again before you are, and they give warnings first. It is pretty easy not to get banned on this forum. I think it will be okay; I would just suggest for Leo to focus on obvious trolls and for regs to check and see if they are here seriously or not. I'm a "serious" spiritual seeker, so this is the right environment for me, and I am growing so I don't suspect there will be problems in the future at least from my end.

@Preety_India I don't have too much to worry about, I keep to myself and I don't have a whole lot of warning points.

I guess I am fine with it, I'll have to see how it plays out... I guess, I'm a bit confused as to what brought all this on, it seemed like the forum was doing fine - but maybe I just wasn't paying attention; I've been actively working on myself, and it felt to me like the forum was doing this as well.

Meditation.

Cool visuals and sound, good to use if you're tripping. I've listened to this a few times and it hasn't gotten old yet. "Cura" I believe means "cure".

No, don't, so much of my work is here!
