Joseph Maynor

[Mellowmarsh]

Does anyone on here know if he still posts or reads this forum. I’ve tried to PM him but he’s not taking any messages. Nor does he take comments on his YouTube videos. It’s not a big deal though, I respect his need for total privacy if that’s what he prefers.
 

I really like him. Not romantically or in an intimate sexual way. I just really like his presence. It’s soft and gentle.

I’d love for him to get more involved here, if he’s still here that is.

 

I like Leo too, in fact I really enjoy listening to both these characters and the messages they put out there for the one reader, for the one receiver of every message. From source to source an endless spring. 

[RickyFitts]

He still visits the forum as a guest I believe, but I think he's banned (not sure what he did to get banned).

[Mellowmarsh]

@RickyFitts Okay. Thanks for informing us.

Upon reflection about what makes us like people in this forum, I think that part of it is that people here express themselves authentically. When we meet people irl, in the beginning stages of socialization there might be lack of radical authenticity coming from both sides, adherence to social codes and keeping conversations on a shallow level. But in this forum the superficial is skipped and it’s directly onto the deep. It’s a space for people to be radically themselves so we get to see their interesting and authentic side and it can make us like some of them because we also are in touch with such a side in ourselves. Commonality. So i think to bring it out in people irl and to increase chance of meeting such people irl who’d you’d like , it’s wise to be radically authentic. I think it’s a significant block for a lot of people. I don’t know who that Joseph guy is, but I know I liked some other people who left the forum. I don’t mind because I don’t depend on anyone though. But if let’s say every person I liked on this forum would leave then yea maybe I wouldn’t visit it as much

He followed me as a "ghost" (only I can see that he is subscribed) but I have never seen him posted.

[Husseinisdoingfine]

I remember that guy, what was he banned for?

No problem.

[Mellowmarsh]

@Sugarcoat I really loved what you wrote, it sincerely sang to me, thanks for dropping by.

 

Its a shame really because Joseph always starts his YouTube videos with the same warm intro that says “Hello Friends”

And yet his comment section remains closed to like minded community and open communication.
 

But it is what it is. I love that he wants to share his awakened sovereignty with the world. That’s what really matters. That’s the best gift we can offer humanity, our own awakening.

I believe he was banned, or had privileges revoked, as a result of recruiting to his own forum or chat space.

He has been on the path for a while - I think he posts over on Nahm's forum.

@Sugarcoat I enjoy your view of interactions here! I am somewhat more pessimistic - I think this space gives people the time and energy to craft a version of themselves that is, in a way, attempting to control others perceptions of them. For who knows what end... But we all do this to a degree !

I find that I generate more candid authenticity from others in real life. In addition, I am much more jovial and likeable in real life (I think anyway), than on the forum. Without my personal expression to go with my words, I can be a bit savage or prickly sounding

But I do agree about the topics here, and that we are freer to express within the spiritual domain in this space 

[theleelajoker]

Haven't seen @Breakingthewall and @meta_male in a while, too!

Guess they won't be back will miss their content

 

@Sugarcoat & @Natasha Tori Maru

I think it's both. Being anonymous helps to be much more candid and honest. Same time you can create an image of you by being selective what you share and there is no way to know what's true and what's not

I agree. Awakening, level of consciousness is one of the most fundamental things about us, it permeates all aspects of life. To help others to raise their consciousness is contributing to a better world in one of the best ways.

You might have a point. What comes to mind tho is that many people here are anonymous, so how does it serve them to create a nice self image for themselves? I mean since their real self isn’t shown in their profile how could one gain pleasure from that. Hmmm. Maybe it’s a mixture of both, more authenticity in the sense that people here express the topics that are closest to their heart, yet they might as you say control their replies a bit to come of as smart or awakened or something

Real life allows for deeper connection I’d say. You see the whole of the person. Harder to hide oneself and be fake.

It does serve in some way! I catch myself at times, thinking why did I want to include that information in my post? Sometimes I realize it subconsciously to make me feel / make me look better lol

It's tricky sometimes you can see it in the posts of others too. There is no reason to include a particular information in exactly this way, no value added but creating a certain image

It's still an identity, even it is anonymous.  But I share things here that I would not openly in a non-anonymous place

I personally use my real name so I have full accountability for everything I say and do.

Everyone is different, of course.

As I type this out, I am even questioning who I am, so take everything I say with a grain of glitter. 

[Natasha Tori Maru]

I think it's both! Anonymity can be freeing, but there is still ego going into the anonymous persona (that I see!). It is like another layer to the already false self - now we have a new false e-self! But with slatterings of truth in there... 

This thread is revealing humanities completely bizzare behaviour surrounding this self / ego ay? 😏

I use my personal face and name because I have no need to hide also @Yimpa 

And it does help with accountability! 

[Mellowmarsh]

Behind every human mask is source. 
 

There’s many masks, all different, but there’s only one source. That’s all that matters really.

 

Every living creature depends on the same basic requirements for survival. Fortunately, earth supplies everything needed for survival. 
 

When it’s gone, it’s gone, and nothing can, or will ever know nonexistence. Just be, because that’s all you can be.

Banned ages ago. He is stubborn with his ignorance like a mule.

Respectable.

That being said, nothing in your personal life is affected by this? Co-workers, employers, clients, biz partners, friends & family, new people, dating..

So much unnecesary misunderstanding & conflict to be had in my opinion.

 

[Natasha Tori Maru]

@Miguel1 I have thought on that. A lot.

I look at it as a process of vetting: if anyone wants to judge and reject me for anything I write or post, it is almost a test I leave for them. It is telling me outright they aren't the person for me, they aren't the business for me. Family have no choice (man I feel bad for them hehe). I just wouldn't be willing to date someone who would see this and judge. I look at it as my shit-test. 

Honestly if someone is willing to bin or reject me for some hobby forum posting that is 100% on them and good riddance, my filter worked.

The only part that makes me second guess this is professionally - career wise would I take a hit? Probably not. Construction is very results based. Meetings with clients and state officials... well I still wear beanies, casual shit, sometimes alternative styles. No one gives a shit as long as the project hits budget and time and we have a good outcome. They don't care about hardcore spirituality (maybe they would if they knew how I apply it to construction effectively....)

If I changed careers it would be to go fully into the arts scene, which is even MORE open.
