  2. Allow me to rephrase: She wants to sink her dirty claws into your mind and heart.
  3. @Leo GuraYes, a dream can also have "neutral resonance" which is just a neutral emotion or a phenomenon more broadly. Nature itself for example, thus not have inherent symbolic meaning, therefore the awe of the beauty of nature is what I would categorize as neutral resonance
  4. Only sometimes.

  6. How to help calm her nerves?

    theleelajoker replied to Hasson_Miah's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    I once knew a guy, he jerked off when he noticed that he became too horny or anxious to go into dates. Worked for him. Tried it a few times as well with good results. But don't overdo it, you still want to enjoy the sex if the dates goes well so have enough time between your "preparation" and meeting her haha 😂
  7. In a dream, the mind is only dissonant in regard to coherence. A dream is highly resonant in regard to meaning through symbolism, for example.
  8. That's an interesting part. Because I dated a woman once and I'm wondering if what you described here was part of her experience. Myself, I know this feeling of dissolving of boundaries, but not in relationship instead from intense meditation practice. Definitely was scared and took me few months to adjust. And I'm assuming that you can only talk about this because you had your own experience. I wonder: Maybe it's not about emotions, it's not about being vulnerable, it's not about sharing, or oversharing, it's not about the male/female dynamic. Maybe it's simply about facing and accepting who you are. In my experience, when I drop my masks, and I'm am open, feeling and expressing, then my reflection in others become quite obvious. It becomes impossible NOT to recognize. Could ignore it for 30 years+, but can't do it anymore lol And it's a shock, or rather was one. It's like getting a second ball to juggle with, you need a stable identity of self while integrating the fact that you're the whole fucking thing. Problem is, now you're might be saying "others emotions are told much", but 1) it's your reflection and this you rejecting yourself 2) there's nowhere to go! Yeah seek distance, but no matter where you go, other human forms of you are there. Or you live alone on an island, and you starve of human connection, intimacy etc. Check mate. Accept, confront , express or slowly kill yourself while still alive. I notice you do that kind of comments a lot. You do this to be polite, respectful and humble? I get this but sometimes it seems to me like insecurity, afraid of expressing your true perspective fully with attitude of "that's me, I stand by it". There's a historical quote from Martin Luther "Here I stand, I can do no other". I like that one because he fully expressed what he thinks is right while not giving a fuck about anything else than that.

    Was just informed I got the position. We will see how it goes.
  10. I don't know if it is a coincidence, but I happen to be working on a field ontology, which affirms your intuition:
  11. Today
  12. Imagine you're a normal person in your own life, working a job and barely keeping your head above water and a homeless person looks at you and says "the workers just want to keep us down, it makes sense as they would want more control". You would be like "I'm just trying to do my job, I ain't got the time or resources for this shit". Do you think the elites have less responsibility, more time, more actual resources than you, to plot a plan of world domination that requires other people like them to be aligned with their interests and in on their plan and not preoccupied with their own interests? The higher up you get in the rungs of power, the more strings are attached to you, the more of your time is valued, the more of your time is needed, if not, you get outcompeted by those that have that time. You think Jeff Bezos has time for your shit? Just playing the anti-conspiracist devil's advocate. If you look around, you see arguably much more division than cooperation, certainly across country lines, across company lines, across different competing agents. And you conclude that at the very top, at the very highest levels of organization, beyond all countries, beyond all companies, there is perfect and synchronous cooperation? This is the fact-driven position (criticizing the narrative by pointing to dissonant facts). The narrative-driven position is "but the elites are creating all that division to benefit them". What appeals more to you and why?
  13. Could be just the way this is phrased but it sounds hella avoidant. 'Get' inside your mind sounds like an intrusion. If I feel like someone is intruding something isn't right with the relationship, me, or them. But yeah, funny choice of words
  14. Is this not entirely inconsistent with "Apparently we are never meant to feel thirst at all, in an ideal body / health / world."?
  15. Raising Consciousness is ultimately what brings back that childhood intensity. That's why Tolle talks so much about sensing the Aliveness in every moment, in every particle. Even the bible says "unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Apart from all the practical stuff we can do for physical health, learning how to actually feel all the way through deep emotional pain is a skill that hardly anyone was taught growing up. Joe Hudson is definitely on the leading edge of those who are helping people to fully heal emotionally. Underneath is a process that I found really valuable. @Miguel1
  16. @Leo Gura For me I see the hidden agenda as more of a grand overall sense as it makes sense that elites want absolute control because the ego's dream is to become god without dying or dissolving to the absolute. I do have a veteran friend who has witnessed countless times that the US government has lied to the public intentionally. I trust certain conspiracies such as suppressed free energy technologies, frequency war much more than others as I can see why elites would want to do that. Free energy technologies will completely collapse billion dollar industries which is why it is hidden. And while 5G waves are non-ionizing, from what I know they can make it harder to relax however it is so hard to prove it because current modern science is terrible at truly predicting if something can create long term harm or not. What's your thoughts on this perspective?

  17. Funny video thread

    Dude helped create some of the best comedy ever, then goes into making horror movies, go figure.
  18. @Leo Gura Have you considered stopping teaching in the last 10 years because of this? If so, what was the reason that you didn't do it?
  19. I agree with most responses that it heavily depends, and a lot of the time, it is just a mismatch of the moment, or between the man and the woman. (I just want to get that out of the way first!) However, one thing that’s worth noting is that a lot of the time, if you’re not showing cues that you appreciate someone and that you’re being genuine, it can become difficult for them to feel safe and trusting in a relationship. I feel like this is more common on the women's end than on the men's end, because women are more socially conditioned to be expressive in this way. A good exercise, if you're a guy, is to imagine your woman being cold and stoic toward you, yet everything on the surface seems fine. You date, hang out, have sex, and have fun. How would you feel? In relationships in general, both genders usually want to experience that sense of emotional safety. I think that’s one reason men often say they like or want a “feminine woman,” because she will show and share her emotions clearly and vulnerably. When she adores him, when she is impacted or inspired by him, or when she feels emotional because of him, she expresses it openly. All of these cues are ways of showing someone that they matter to you. If you do things too coldly, it can become difficult to really know what the other person is actually feeling. Another reason, I think, is that if there is some emotional disconnection or issue in the relationship, the more emotionally attuned person will be more likely to pick up on it. Because of that, they may want more reassurance and vulnerability in order to feel like the issue is being resolved. So they might seem like they want more ‘intimacy’ than the other person, even though the issue is already present. They’re simply more receptive to it and more aware of the potential long-term consequences. I also feel like there is a bit of bias in that sentence. Guys desire a woman who is very adoring of her man, which is why they often say they want someone “submissive” or “open to influence.” If that isn’t getting into someone’s mind . . . Ultimately, both people generally want to feel like they matter a lot to the other person. So if a woman is very receptive to you, does things for you, is eager to be around you all the time, shares openly, gets jealous, or cries because she cares about your opinion, then of course, you’re less likely to feel that emptiness or the need for further reassurance and emotional support. You already receive so much of it. Imagine if all of that suddenly went away. You might even start thinking she’s cheating But again, this isn’t me trying to blame everything on the guy - just offering a perspective. As I said at the start, it HEAVILY depends on the situation and the people involved.
  20. @LordFall Just saw it. I need to go get my pet and cigar for photos Jokes aside, yeah it's just irresponsible to not care about all those points shared in the video if you want some success in online dating. Weight loss, grooming, clean and sharp dressing, showing an adventurous lifestyle (cigars, pets, travel, etc), proper posing are all great and would help in any form of dating attempts. But my point was that there are features that are simply unattractive for most people, things you just can't change with a proper pose or holding a cigar, and that's a reality you have to live with and work with whatever you've got.
  21. Yes, I would try to share more of my struggles. This is unnatural for me since I don't share my problems with anyone. But in a serious relationship you gotta do the hard stuff.
  22. For the same reason you want to get inside her.
  23. Why is there such a need in the first place? I guess it's a part of building deeper intimacy with another person.
  24. Its neither , but in my view it leaves it ambigous whether it makes a knowledge claim or a belief claim. We can solve this by explicating meaning further and with that move narrowing down how the statement can be interpreted (I should have done this way earlier) "I believe nobody truly knows wtf he/she is talking about" "I know that nobody truly knows wtf he/she is talking about" I agree that the second is a knowledge claim and there you can derive a contradiction (could still be dodged if we interpret 'knowing' and 'truly knowing' differently, but for the sake of simplicity we can interpret those two phrases the same and there you will have a contradiction), but when it comes to the first there isn't any issue and you cant derive a contradiction from that. --------- My other issue aside from the above was that the sentence "nobody truly knows what he/she is talking about" even if was said and interpreted by no one, it would still have a truth value (there would be a fact of the matter about whether that statement is true or whether it is false). And you cant do the same thing that you can do with the liars paradox. Because from "nobody truly knows what he/she is talking about" being true , you wont get to "there is at least one person who knows what he/she is talking about". If you think otherwise, show me how you derive the contradiction. Like its true that no one would know that the statement "nobody truly knows what he/she is talking about" is true, but thats compatible with "nobody truly knows what he/she is talking about" being true.
  25. What would you change if you still had some time? I'm just asking because that was also the issue for me and just want to know your perspective on it. What I'd do is, as you said, share more of my struggles and inner processes more honestly, not hide anything out of shame, and in general be more open with her on my intentions and inner turmoils. That's isn't easy to do for someone who doesn't feel a need to share all that. But that's exactly why it comes off as avoidence. Because it probably it. Avoidance of vulnerability. Maybe it was different for you, I don't know.
  26. Thank you @Natasha Tori Maru This makes sense for me. I totally understand, doesn't need a perfect answer, or be 'on the mark', it was more a sort of a confirmation for me from what I have been reflecting upon too. The beauty of intuitive channeling 🙏🤍 I respect and find value in most of your comments and responses.
  27. That's a curse to being a man You look for straight-forward solutions that can be applied on problems. But of course reality isn't that straight-forward and most of the times there are not step-by-step instructions that can be applied to problems. It's much more fluid. That's the best way, building a proper environmnent and set of circumstances that then allow emotional expression to naturally arise. Since it can't be forced, all you can do is try to minimize the blocks and see where that takes you. Again, it's a whole process that needs emotional investing and thought. Especially if both partners aren't that good at expressing emotions, it all quickly turns into a mess if none of them things about these things explicitly. But it's an interesting process, as you said, it's like a separate domain of consciousness work. Of course it comes together in a big picture with all the other stuff you're doing, but it also can be tackled separately. Yup
