It's not a physical blockage, it's an energetic blockage. How to deal with it I don't know. Reiki folks can do various healings on it but I don't know if that will be enough or not.

@seeking_brilliance You are trying to explain reality without awakening, and that will not work. No explanation will work because all explanations are dualistic. So try all you want, but you will always fail. The only solution is to awaken. There is a good reason why Zen masters do not answer your questions. Because all your questions are misguided attempts by the ego-mind to maintain its dualistic delusional reality. The solution to this problem exists on a new plane of consciousness from the one you're currently at. You will not be able to reason your way to that new plane.

You can do visualization exercises to practice feeling love for 5 or 10 mins every day.

I'm a lone wolf type guy so I avoid these issues simply by keep to myself and following my life purpose. If someone is being an ass to you, leave their company. If it's a boss or coworker, then that's more challenging but that's basically turning into workplace harassment. You should be able to speak to HR about that and get them to stop. If it's a friend, change friends. If it's a family member, move away from your family or confront them about it. If it's happening at school, just ignore the person and stay away from them.

No You are still making love too conditional because you are afraid of that unconditional love might hinder your survival. Have the courage to love yourself unconditionally, no matter what you do or don't do.

I don't know how it will be for you. What is it that doesn't make sense? The princples behind the course are simple. But figuring out how to make your dreams a reality is a tricky and convoluted process because you have to deal with real-world obstacles like money.

@Yog If you make a list of fascist values and ways of thinking and compare to a list of stage Green values and ways of thinking you will see that they are not the same at all. There is a structural difference between the two. A stage Green person has no desire to be a fascist. They have outgrown that. They have a desire to support others who are different than them. Sure, sometimes a Green person might get upset or act foolish, but they will not create a fascist government. TYT is never going to lead to fascism, but Fox News could. Of course TYT can still be biased and lead to other lesser problems. CNN would also never lead to fascism because they are above that.

I don't think Tulsi is a good candidate. Not sure why some people think she's so progressive and good. Plus she has no chance of winning.

Individual dreamers are part of the Dream.

Cause God is a paradox.

@Shiva That, plus raising animals contributes some 10%-20% to global warming as they release methane.

@Buba Look, just work on it. Obviously acceptance here won't happen in a week. This is something you work on as part of your spiritual work.

Losing consciousness is not the right way. Lower your dose. You should be doing it rectally.

@Shiva I don't want to litigate the ethical issues of meat-eating here. It should be pretty obvious that factory farming is problematic from a consciousness perspective and we should minimize it as much as possible. It should also be equally obvious why a complete elimination will not happen any time soon. Obviously because I am selfish and engaged in survival. To put it another way, if you and I were in a boat together in the middle of the sea, I would eat you and not feel too guilty about it, since that is life If you don't like it, you can file a complaint with God in the afterlife.

Keep in mind that things have evolved a lot since Da Vinci's time. Today to succeed you must be more specialized. You can't be an architect, a painter, an engineer, and a writer because you will be out-competed by others who specialize in just one thing. Back in Da Vinci's time fields like engineering, architecture, etc. were not as developed or deep as they are today. It will take you 10 years of study just to become a decent engineer. And now you need work experience, licenses, certifications, etc. So you can certainly be a polymath in the casual sense of studying lots of topics, but you ain't gonna master them all enough to make a career out of. Pick your career field more carefully. Even something like Engineering is far too broad. You need to pick what kind of engineer you want to be. Competition is a lot more fierce today. So many amazing specialists to compete against. And it's a global marketplace. In Da Vinci's time the marketplace was a single city of 300,000 people, most of whom were peasants who couldn't read.

The closest a sober person will get to God is just by sitting and looking at your hand.

I would prefer to go vegetarian for ethical reasons if it didn't disrupt my life too much. Of course taste of the food is a factor. Meat probably tastes better to me. But that could be retrained. But for example, I don't like eating fruit all the time. It becomes too sugary and gross. I don't know how people pull that off for long periods of time even if it gives them enough energy. My body doesn't tolerate a fruit only diet.

It's not true acceptance if in the back of your mind you're accepting it only so that you can avoid facing it. "I accept that I have gay desires as long as that means I won't ever have any gay sex" << that's not acceptance! True acceptance would be: "It's okay if the only kind of sex I have in my life from now on is gay sex." Acceptance requires that you face the thing you don't want to face. Not hypothetically, but actually. That doesn't mean you actually have to have sex with a man, but you do have to face and accept the prospect of it until the point where it doesn't bother you.

That is your relative judgment. Definitely not. I don't have time to kiss every animal I eat. Definitely I try to buy organic and free-range as much as possible, but even that is not always possible and those labels aren't to be trusted anyways. Most free-range stuff isn't really so free-range as they make you believe. Survival is a naughty business.

Closing since this is a duplicate threat to this:

Yeah, what I'm saying is impossible to imagine from your current state of consciousness. You'd need a radical change of state. Yes, time and even cause & effect collapse in nonduality such that the impossible becomes possible. Yes, you can clearly recognize that you are the entire universe happening all at once. This is nondual awakening. No, it's not any analogy or explanation. You are the whole universe happening as we speak. Just as one example, I once became conscious that I wrote every book mankind has ever created. Not only did I write all the books in the universe, I am all of them too. The pages of every book is made out of my consciousness. And this goes for everything in the universe. I am everything that could ever possibly be. All of this is direct absolute truth. Not explanation or thinking or theory. It is not even perception. It is more true than perception and more true than mathematics.

He who smelt it dealt it Did you know the Freud was deathly afraid that his father would catch him masturbating? Is that really the guy you want to take advice from about how to be a healthy and fully-integrated human? Sure, but it's all overblown. Your mother and father and sex are not that important. Unless your mother or father molested you, it's not a big deal.

Just try it. You ever read that book by Dr Suess, Green Eggs and Ham? Lol. That's you now. The Letting Go video would be great for you here.

The ultimate truth is that male and female are both just aspects of your infinite self. You can have male and female orgasms. Both masculine and feminine energies are running through you and you will become most powerful once you integrate them both and experience life from both POVs. Imagine how powerful you would be if you were totally comfortable with your sexuality no matter what it was. That is true strength. To worry or fear about being gay is weakness. This is why Self-Love is the ultimate strength. It requires total fearlessness. So this is great opportunity for you to train yourself to be strong. A strong man is able to have sex with another man. A weak man is not. Your culture has this all backwards.

No it won't, you will enjoy it. Let go of the fear. Sure you can accept it and enjoy it.
