That’s priceless clarity. Great report, thank you for sharing!

What have you tried? What’s worked what hasn’t? Have you explained this need to him?

@Emerald I really feel for you, but at the same time I can’t get a feel for if you want this to be “better”, or if you don’t. If you do... Have you considered a less sexually pragmatic scientific approach, maybe you’re overthinking it? Have you had a thorough physical done with screenings? Have you had periods of months where you did an hour of meditation every morning - did that change anything with the projecting sex and or the physical sex?

@andyjohnsonman Legit inquiry, but I’d suggest meditating first thing in the morning, and not believing any thinking about awareness.

Just one testimony here, but the sex in a relationship going down hill is not the experience I’ve had. Generally speaking, I’d consider communication / couples therapy if this is what is experienced. As soon as possible.

Can you put your finger on the exact catalyst behind this? What kept you from reading it without it having any influence on your happiness?

@CreamCat @Sahil Pandit Just a thought for ya’s, also illusory, but, thought is dualistic seeing one side or the other, which always reveals you are the one, aware of the two-ness. Also, odd reminder perhaps but, pupils are nothingness, you. Notice the eyes you see are twos, but as you see, it is one, and all are emptiness.

Ignore-ance.

Write down, in terms of chunks of time, what you’re doing with 24 hours. You’ll see it’s of course possible.

Explain this mysterious line in science, the “hard problem”...how the quantum realm and the atomic realm work together. In detail.

@Aaron p That’s awesome. If you can play the piano & post ads, and read about seo, you got no business sellin ‘the other stuff’. I just double checked with the universe. It said keep your head on straight.

I believe someone could live a happy, healthy, fulfilled life never looking into the nature of reality. Beliefs are tricky things. If you want to question something, make it the duality your thinking is confined to. Takes twice the energy, always holding two perspectives.

@How to be wise The mind says the heart is the locale of love but it’s everything everyone everywhere. Feel it everywhere. Let go.

@Wisebaxter Doing ”the work”, the practices, and being serious about it, committed, disciplined, etc. It is important. Keep doin what you’re doin. When you encounter those ‘barriers’ within yourself, don’t avoid, don’t stop there, always keep going, look directly into fear - see what it’s made of. You’ll simultaneously see what you’re made of, and that is awesome.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but to seek and find all the barriers within yourself you have built against it” - Rumi

@Wisebaxter You got it man. So wise Baxter!

@Key Elements No wonder I wasn’t hearing ya. That’s a good reminder for me! Thanks! I came into it, relatively, backwards. Life purpose realization came to me in a trip. At 40. Lol. It’ll do me good to keep that in mind.

@Wisebaxter With meditation, awareness on what “pulls you out of” the meditation, after “meditation” when you are into your day. Often it’s habits, identifying with certain thoughts, reactional speaking vs creative response, etc - general inattention to our own sayings and doings. With self inquiry, it is wise to allocate time just for that, and also to be inquiring into the actions mentioned which “pull you out” of the meditation (after the allocated mediation period). This minimizes the back and forth or the cycle, meditative state, then lost in thought, meditate, lost, meditate, lost. Such a cycle can be a perfectly natural part of awakening. My intention in commenting is like a head’s up, to save time, get the most out of practices. There’s always plenty of topical focus on practices, but it’s equally important to allow awareness / attention on what “undoes” the practices too.

@Key Elements For the muggles, basically?

I’d say that’s about right. Meditation is great for clearing / emptying the mind, and then self inquire. Also, yet, both all day.

@Truth Addict ?

@Key Elements I want to understand, but I honestly don’t. What is the risk / loss of sharing? Aren’t they already one and the same, this, now?

@Serotoninluv Nice. It’s a stinker, that rigamaroll. Reminds me of the vigilance in not eating sweets. ? Like, oh, ya, this is why I don’t do that. @OneWithAll A curse implies there is someone who put a curse on you. Or I guess that you put a curse on yourself. On the love note, just think love, see what comes up. Probably nothing.

@Aaron p How’s synchro-world goin?

@Jack River ♥️?? Leave my mom outta this though. Jk ?
