How fucking cool. Congrats on making the necessary changes

Exactly. Just take it with a grain of salt. What it means for you may shift and change and you don't want to make it into a rule.

@ertopolice thanks for the update! It's good you're out there doing things and learning from them. My main tip for you is not to worry about being too flirtatious. As long as it's coming from a genuine place, allow your heart, rather than head, to lead.

This kind of thing may not point to anything specific and is possibly just a symptom of being highly sensitive or having spiritual gifts. I don't have this specifically but do have some other weird things of that nature. Have tried figuring out if it means anything and still haven't landed on it being profound or anything. Although it is fucking weird! Explore what it means for you, that's the only way to learn about it.

Most of the men on this forum probably don't have a problem with consent. I've slept with plenty of men on the first, second or third date and have never felt pressured. That woman likely is not very developed. Her lack of boundaries is her responsibility. If she was repeatedly denying her boyfriend sex then yes, things will get ugly. If he's constantly trying to bang her that's a problem too but that's a less common situation. Obviously there is a line where the pushing becomes unhealthy, but in most relationships when women deny their boyfriends sex there is something deeper going on and it doesn't have to do with "consent". In terms of dating, a lot of women (girls) are simply inexperienced.

Like as a hard rule? Do they not enjoy sex if they don't cum? Multiple men I've slept with seemed fine and even didn't want to so now I'm questioning their fine-ness.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this it can be quite concerning. Sometimes, just sitting in stillness with the numbness can bring up emotions. It may be that you are too scared to feel the depth of your pain so take it easy.

The overprotective feeling you have is trying to protect you and your pup. Be grateful for it. Fear also exists as a protection method. A gratitude practice may help. Like sending energetic thanks to your neighbor and the universe that everything turned out ok. And when you're frustrated that you're being so overprotective say thank you to your fear because it is just trying to help. Sometimes practicing being ok with the unknown can help as well but it is a practice and takes time ❤

Take the pressure off a bit. Climax doesn't need to happen for sex to be enjoyable. 4 months is not a long time in a relationship especially when it comes to breaking through traumas so relax a little and please him in other ways

For example, when going through a difficult time you say something like: "I need to meditate more" rather than going into the problem and actually figuring it out. Spiritual bypassing is another name.

The psychedelic itself doesn't enlighten you, that's the whole point. It's a tool. Comparing meditation masters to shamans seems off to me. They're totally different.

Notice little things they say and find out more details about it. Like if they talk about going to the beach ask them what beach. If they talk about their annoying sister ask them if the sister is older or younger. If they say they need to get a new phone ask them when the last time they replaced it was.

@impulse9 is shamanism concerned with traditional enlightenment?

Inorganic meaning...its not you? That's not a principle in shamanism.

Just go and figure it out when you're there. You'll be in a different state of mind and will approach it if it arises for you. Btw that sounds fucking awesome. Enjoy.

Lay out a yoga mat or blanket and sit on the ground. Turn on some music, maybe light a candle or some incense. Then start to notice what your body wants to do. Maybe it wants to shake, to stretch, move up and down, sing, stomp on the ground. Child's pose and neck circles help with the neck as well. Do this for about 15 minutes, just noticing how your body wants to move. Get weird! It's a great release.

I don't know if this is accurate to say or not but I think of meditation as having the integration already "built in" where as with a dmt experience you go further but have to integrate later.

Didn't smoke enough

He's the only ex I've remained friends with.

Thanks for asking I have two really close female friends and one male friend who is a previous partner. I recently moved so they are in a different state and I have yet to make any solid friends here. I have a couple internet friends, too. I get a lot of social interaction through my jobs. I've made friends and met lovers while working and I feel lucky to be able to interact with such a wide range of people. I used to be a dog-walker too and that required a huge amount of social abilities. I date and occasionally meet people through dating apps. I'm very introverted naturally and used to be cripplingly shy but in the past few years have been making massive strides to get out of my shell and am becoming the "good with social stuff" person I've always wanted to be. Hating people and being extremely judgmental of them is such a drag. I rarely (if ever) feel physically alone. I have a very supportive family and again, lots of social interaction through my work. However, I often feel spiritually alone. I do wish I had more friends that I could connect with on things like art, psychedelics, spirituality etc. Men need to know not to be too nice. I appreciate the sentiment but I like a man who isn't afraid to take control and who can treat me like a slut sometimes

Sometimes I like to send a flirty text right after a date, something like: "X, I had such a nice time with you tonight! :)". Should you text him now? Hmm. If you do, think of something fun and flirty you could say. Leading with desire: "I've been thinking about you since our last meeting, I love the talks we have and I long for when we can meet again ;)" or something to that effect! Do not keep it cold!!! There's your problem:) Often times a man won't show flirty interest super obviously right away. That doesn't mean he's not interested. He may be shy or unsure if you're interested, especially if you're acting cold! What you need to do is flirt anyway. Let loose, lay it on. Of course, be genuine about it, but do not be shy to show your goddess and feminine. Open your heart, do not wait for him to lead in that regard.

Maybe? I'm not an expert but it sounds like it's pointing to something.

What makes you think that? You don't get to go into a church and start preaching about the devil. In life, there will be spaces where you don't get to express your views 100% freely. This is normal. There are many forums on reddit where you can talk about conservatism etc.

For whoever needs this... If you're depressed or maybe you have ADHD and struggle doing basic chores like the dishes: clean just one or two And that's it. You don't have to do the whole pile. Cleaning one dish will help you feel better about yourself because you did the thing despite your state. One dish is often very doable even in super challenging times. Also, it's OK if you can't even do one. It's just nice to have options if you're being hard on yourself for not cleaning at all. I love this trick because I often find myself cleaning several dishes anyway even though I never expected to.

I LOVE getting a club soda or sparkling water at the club or a bar. Get it in a pint glass with ice, a lime and a straw! It's super tasty, looks like you're drinking and makes you feel a little special.
