These days my thoughts are more along the lines of loving what arises. I am headed in the direction of not "demanding" a relationship, but being in the moment whenever love/romance, and friendship arises. (And if that goes on arising then I guess it would look like a long term relationship to the outside, but it's not exactly the same). I think that's how I would like to live and allow others the freedom to be. I'm not fully there yet still need to work on myself and independence, but I am moving in that direction. I know that doesn't answer your questions.. but maybe still a valid perspective to share.

Just start chatting to someone you gravitate to and see if they have the same :), might take a few tries... But yes lately all my interactions are online, this place mostly.

Thought I'd share this additional resource with those who might be interested in progressing in embodiment work, and becoming conscious leaders and/or healers in your life. Matt Kahn is hosting a 9-week call series over Zoom to assist you in becoming and bringing here the light and cosmic Love that you are. https://tickets.brightstarevents.com/event/angel-academy-season14-masteringthevibrationalscale Here's a pre-amble on what's to come:

@WonderSeeker Cool share, I love Muse.

You forgot the "became Leo on a psychedelic trip" (and elsewhere maybe) .

It's a tough one. It is true it isn't strictly your responsibility, it is ultimately her responsibility to heal the trauma. However, people can always aid in the process of someone doing so without burning themselves out. It all depends on your level of comfort/how much you're willing to "give" which is what it boils down to.. There's not really a "right" answer. Sometimes all it takes is one moment of "true love" for someone to heal a deep wound (if the other is also conscious in receiving it). But question is are you ready to give that or even know how/what it looks like? Figure out how much energy you're willing/capable of giving to someone, and follow that so you can maintain integrity/harmony, defer the rest to other resources/therapists, etc.

Ego games..

I'm pretty sure Alan Watts was reasonably wealthy... The thing is if you want to be wealthier than most people you have to do something different from most people.

Never tried it.. has he talked to a therapist or hotline?

Yeah it's better if you are not in a dire survival situation, I mean it would be easier to integrate it more fully and then embody it. And if you do have survival sort of handled, then it's about your values possibly shifting as a result of the change in perspective if you choose (eg personal to universal). And that might change what you do and how you show up in the world, etc. Also your baseline consciousness most likely still has lots of room to grow. Like you can get to a point where you're just in awe of what is here right now, and be filled with love more often than not, embrace more fully what reality is, etc. This one might be helpful to you, what later stages look like:

Notice all the false ideas you might have of who you really are, notice they're mostly adopted from others as you were growing up. Make a commitment to discover who you really are, who are you when you drop the conditioning, projections from "others"? Keep looking and looking until you can't go further. What you are before the thoughts and stories of who you are, and more . And then one day you are free from "the other" and their projections and you notice them for what they really are, just more projections that have no real bearing on your true nature. You can still play along at that point but deep down you know yourself as radiant perfection.

Yeah.. was thinking Shunyamurti but I honestly don't know how much awakening he had either.

You could always just try imagining it Focus your attention on like your skin or a wall, try to imagine a pattern, it should start to pop up . Coz you can imagine anything really haha.

You can understand it, either a psychedelic or a plain ol' beer will do.

@RMQualtrough it's cool I like that you're honest about things. I too have almost an allergy with the silly 5-meow. Well I wish it produced cats. But no.

Ok nobody talks about this but I fricking love the colors and patterns I see when I'm on mushrooms.. wtf some of those patterns are so beautiful I can just be in awe with that the whole time.

@Jacob Morres ??? ?

What's freaky is I was literally thinking that he's going through a "rebirthing" process. And then BAM there goes the latest post about "metaphysical rebirth".

Everything is consciousness, you can fall in love with consciousness. Ta-da! You have all the freedom to choose.. to immerse yourself totally in anything.

I get it and yeah part of me feels similar to you too... it pains me to think of the other scenario like you say. It's good that people care.. it's always better to care more than it seems necessary in these kinds of situations. Wonder if anyone on here is in touch with him...

"P.S. I'm gonna be sharing more artsy and odd-ball stuff on the blog. Just for fun. As I become more conscious I'm becoming more spontaneously creative. I'm not gonna be the stereotypical dry, boring guru." idk that prob tells you about most of what's happening... maybe

@Realms of Wonder Aw... He's a symptom of what's not going well in our society... my heart goes out to him..
