Not much would change in my life as far as goes my work, attending to my family, gym, traveling, beach, walking the dog, etc. Self-realization is a shift in how you perceive reality, the outward remains the same as it was before self- realization.

Very sweet

@Ross Check out Corey Wayne's YT channel and his blog. He has good practical info on everything you need to know about relationship and dating for guys.

@Lha Bho This is Leo's definition of Love, taken from his recent video about morality, part 1. Answers most of your questions. "When you become fully conscious, you break down the boundary between self and others, and literally what happens is that everything becomes you, everything becomes the self. and there is a complete and utter surrender of you to reality, the larger force of reality, or as someone may call it God, nature, reality, existence You basically surrender to this higher power and you act now compassionately towards everyone and everything, because you literally perceive the entire world as your body. It's a very radical thing. And more than that thing, you recognize that all of existence is basically a giant bowl of love, unconditional love. And what you do, you surrender your ego to such an extent that everything is unconditionally loved by you, especially all the good stuff, but even the evil, even the bad stuff, even stuff that looks ugly or looks vial, or looks immoral. You even start to love that, because you see it as unity. There are no divisions, it's one giant unity. So, surrender to that and approach all of reality with unconditional love".

Wouldn't use anything medicated. The chemicals in medicated lip balms kill the natural tone of your lips and cause dryness. Choose lip balm with natural ingredients and color. Burt's Bees pomegranate lip balm I use works very well.

You should, you have a gift Oh wait.. Leo said we shouldn't use the word 'should' Maybe you can if you will, then

You don't kill anything. Ego is to be developed in a responsible way (self-actualization), integrated, and transcended. Isn't sexual intimacy is to be enjoyed, shared, and celebrated between the 2 people involved. Not everyone wants to know what's going on between other people's sheets, honestly. That's called boundaries. Your part about seduction/ building tension is very good. But perhaps a personal blog would be a more fit place for your wife to talk about more intimate details, where she can help others with similar problems to recover and to heal. What she's done with her life is indeed admirable. I recently deleted my FB because people would share too much on there, some of the stuff made me wonder what the heck. This is just my opinion anyway. Peace. Edited: Eckhart mentioned in one of his talks that he doesn't do FB or any other kind of social media, he's a very private and conscious person. His assistant Steve takes care of that.

@Salaam Wow.. your wife posts her sexual experiences on FB?

@DrMatthewsausage Hope this short talk will help you put things in perspective. Knowledge is power! Hugs

@jes Hi Dear, I just watched this video (she gives great tools in dealing with toxic people) and thought this information could benefit you too. Knowledge is power! Hugs

@Ivansmarks Please watch these (and his other related vids). Tolle's teachings helped me understand how thought process works and how to heal from destortions of the mind. Hugs

Did you create the Leo comic? Very cool

@Ivansmarks Your fear is imaginary. There's nothing to be afraid of. Your room is peaceful and quiet and you're in a comfortable bed. Turn off all the distractions and try to relax. Count sheep until you fall asleep....

What about darkness that you're afraid of? Have you tried to use night-light and count sheep?

As long as those are happy tears Goodnite

@Atom Thank you for your trust and sharing! You're a very special human being with a lot of great insight and wisdom. Hope to see more of your input on this forum. Hugs

'Pushed in' were the words @Atom used in his post. Eckhart explains in this video the reason we often feel imposed by thoughts. He advises not to take thoughts personally and seriously, for that reason.

Thoughts come from and are 'pushed into' our psyche from the collective consciousness/ unconsciousness. That's how our mind gets conditioned in the first place. Eckhart Tolle elaborates:

@quantum

yes, for the ego.. My ego says thanks, no swimming with sharks

In the scope of Reality, shark is me and I'm the shark, and all fear is really an illusion

If you mean the outward beauty, in a nutshell - motivate yourself to maintain good health. This means saying YES to: - wholesome diet from the earth/ sufficient hydration - exercise - good sleep pattern - stress busting techniques/ positive attitude And saying NO to: - conventional diet/ dehydration - artificial enhancements (too much make-up, fake boobs, plastic surgery of any kind) - smoking, drinking, overuse of meds - chronic stress - sleep deprivation - lack of exercise There are some folks at my gym in their 80s and 90s that still flex muscle, swim laps, and do Zumba dancing, and they look great! They tell me healthy diet and love for life and laughter are the keys. And they don't seem to mind wrinkles here and there, because their wholesome lifestyle helps them to age gracefully.

The narrator says that human beings are not usual food for these kinds of sharks, so there's low risk danger swimming with them... so how then is it supposed to test the resilience of our mind?

@abrakamowse Abra, I had to use Leo's 'thought flattening technique' to not be creeped by your new avatar pic

Thoughts are energy forms that originate from the collective consciousness/ unconsciousness and manifest themselves through human psyche as 'thoughts'.
