Maybe realistic would be a better word In the spirit of this thread, lets say it's our other secret

Haha thanks

@Pouya Yes, Absolute/God's love is impersonal, unbiased, liberating, unconditional, and accepting of all. Only this kind of love can heal the world

Beautiful truths, thanks for sharing

@electroBeam This is comical, of course, thought you might get a laugh out of it

You have a balanced brain! Too far on each end of the spectrum would require one to work on their complimentary energy. Bridging brains is important if one wants to have a more balanced and happier life.

Perhaps time to transition from Stage Orange to Green. Leo tells how to do it in his 'Spiral Dynamics - Stage Green' video.

You are God imagining itself as 'you', the other person, etc. So from the Absolute perspective you have free will. From the Relative perspective, human mind cannot grasp the infinite, so our decisions will always be based on limitations.

The "more enlightened answer" is this is all imaginary, there are no 'you' and the 'other person', all a conceptual story that has no weight in reality. The Truth is what is, stomach it and move on.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. You just think you do. There are mental facilities for people with severe mental ailments. Perhaps your family member would benefit from being checked in there.

I'm an empath too and used to absorb others' energy until I started setting boundaries and cultivating healthy self love. So I can personally relate to the OP. My knowledge comes from observing reality over the years. Besides, we all get bullied in covert or overt ways at some point. 'Observe, don't absorb ' method is what has worked for me and many people I shared it with. Hope it will help Don as well.

@The Don That's a form of bullying and bullying fueled by the need to control which in turn comes from insecurity. So, these people are basically insecure little egos trying to boost their sense of superiority by picking on others. That's what unconscious beings do. Don't take it personally, it's not about you, it's about them looking to dump their negative energy onto someone, and you just happen to be there. This is a common dynamic between narcissist and empath. Setting boundaries and cultivating healthy self-love are two important ways an empath can protect themselves from others' toxic energy. Observe, don't absorb. Also, a good vid on point 'How Do You Deal With Unconscious People' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqr98O8QT3M

This looks like something a gnome would eat for breakfast Cool looking shroom, though

@Mada_ I was asked once and it came as a surprise, so I thought it was kind of cute.

There is a spot in the mountains in West Virginia that looks exactly like this one. I remember vividly because it was such a beautiful place. If I find the pic from that vacation, I'll post it here.

Would you post a recipe or a link to a recipe? I'd like to make some too. Thanks C(:

Neat. I saw a couple of faces there too.

Because men are hunters by nature and love a good challenge. That's how they're wired. If something just falls on their lap, they're not going to value it as much past the initial stage. So keep your boundaries and stay true to your values. The right man will respect you for it and continue to pursue regardless. And the wrong for you man will quickly move on, so let him

@DrewNows Wayne's methods are mostly practical/technical while lacking in the area of spirituality. Perhaps that's the reason you stopped watching his vids. He's definitely a Stage Orange coach and those who are in higher stages of development might find themselves having outgrown his teachings as far as values go.

Perhaps you are empaths - you make yourselves (consciously or unconsciously) available to absorb other people's energy. Developing healthy boundaries and cultivating healthy self-love are two ways for empaths to stay clear of toxic influences. Observe, don't absorb.

Yes I realize all that and I stomached the Truth. You guys are just better with words than I am
