Not at this point. Maybe some day when I think I can say it.

I have a question but before that I would like to get into a brief explanation of why I tend to lie. I think it had a lot to do with the upbringing. When I was a kid, my parents would punish me over petty stuff. Remind me constantly of my mistakes. It was incredibly stressful. It ingrained into my mind the "fear of authority." it made me realize that if I ever tell the truth to an authority, it would always result in punishment no matter the fact that I said the truth. Obviously survival came first. So instinctively my mind created the connection between lies and survival and it became apparent that survival was possible only if I lied. I think how my parents handled truth-lies situations were instrumental as well as poorly guided and it resulted in a near permanent change in the way I saw the world. They should have rewarded my honesty each time I was truthful yet they punished me. As an adult, it has become rather impossible to get rid of this wiring and I still suffer deep existential fears whenever I think of saying the truth or enforcing honesty. I don't blame them yet I think society should have the prerogative of respecting honesty. If you choose to tell the truth to a police officer and it came at the cost of punishment, most likely you're only gonna regret speaking the truth. That's what I mean. So the question I have for you is — how should I deal with the fear of judgement and punishment and how to successfully relinquish the fear in order to be able to be truthful to a decent degree? (I know at this point, 100% honesty is simply impossible. Yet I can try to be honest to a decent degree if I bypass the barrier of fear.)

@LostSoul give me a couple of hours and I'll come back with a detailed assessment and conclusion.

@LostSoul I forgot to ask one more question. *how would you describe your current and past love life or relationship life? Were there toxic romantic relationships? Were there no relationships at all? Did you crave a romantic relationship, so on and so forth. Please go ahead and describe it.

Is it safe to watch this video. I haven't clicked yet. I'm asking because I'm hypersensitive to graphic content. If the video is too graphic please let me know. Also I think there should be trigger warning in place for graphic content. I want to decide whether I should click on it. Let me know, thanks.

Frankly I wouldn't want something like this. It seems like some super charged bullshit. If your sex drive goes up because of a supplement, it's a red flag. Funky chemicals. Don't trust that one, one bit.

@LostSoul then you're an introvert like me. I crave intimacy too. Answer a few questions so I get a better picture of what's happening alright? *Have you suffered trauma in your childhood? *Have you been bullied before? *How is your diet-exercise-sleep regimen? *Have you been diagnosed with any standard mental illnesses or disorders so far? *Have you ever been to therapy or ever assigned for therapy? *What sort of spiritual practices have you been engaged in? *on the degree of general productivity, how would you rate yourself? Please take your time and answer questions honestly and properly so I can reassess your problem once again. Shall we?

Could it be that these feelings are temporary?

Ask her funky questions. Teach her regular contemplations. Mostly try to do things yourself first and she will pick the lead. Yes chakra healing is absolutely real. -
@LostSoul love is a beautiful essence that is all around you. It's already present, so you don't have to go looking for it. It's a vibration you need to tap into. Once you do that, you'll feel loved and be filled with euphoria. And then you will find peace. Open your third eye Chakra to feel it.

Henceforth, a lot of my spirituality is going to be based on the law of attraction. -
Did you ever experience bonding?

It comes from deep mature love. Not to mention deepest empathy. It is serene yet thunderous. -
That was the quickest 180°. From wicked to compassionate. Must be the wireless that permeated your tin foil.
