@MrWolf Ya that was my thinking behind why it may work as well. You watched the meaning video? What did you get out of it, just curious.

@meow_meow Ya let me know if it works, I'm curious, since its something that I accidentally discovered myself and am curious if it works for others.

This may sound like weird advice, and it may not work, but its worth a try. When your feeling the craving or need. Pause a moment and toon into the feeling, then once you got a good grasp and mental picture of the experience, recreate it in your minds eye and then in your body. Yes, you read that right, recreate the craving experience your already having in your minds eye and in your body exactly as your experiencing it, in the exact locations your experiencing it. This may take practice and it will feel weird, but it just may clear the craving in its tracks. If this sounds weird, or your asking how you would do it, imagine this and try it now. If your feeling say neutral now, think about something that is pleasant and notice how it slighty changes your emotions. Now while this is happening, focus your attention on the pleasant feeling. Notice how it increases the experience. Now try and feel that experience in your hand or foot or stomach, and see if you can feel that experience in those locations. So, if you can do this, its basically the same thing, but instead of thinking about something pleasant, your thinking about the exact experience your already going through (make sure its as close to exact as is actually occurring) and recreating it in your body and minds eye. When you do this it doesnt need to be sustained for more then 5-20 seconds. It should shift the experience if your doing as accurately as possible.

@Natasha Much love, thank you.

@iceprincess Sorry to hear about your early trauma's, its something you may have to feel and look at in time. As for orgasiming with others, this is a very normal thing for lots of women and isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It may be a very healing thing to learn about your body and the different type of orgasms a women can have and how to produce those in yourself. Self play may be a very healing practice getting to know your body and traumas. It will provide you with information you can communicate to your partner and the two of you can get better at giving each-other pleasure and create intimacy through communication. You may need to find a partner who can meet you on this level, but if your clear on this, you'll find one eventually. How do you find partners? If your using online sites, even putting something like this in your bio will attract the right kind of person, especially if your clear and using the right wording to indicate you are looking for intimacy and exploration. But I wouldn't do any of this until you've spent some time with yourself and exploring. Check out a variety of her video's or search around for people who share similar information and see what resonates with you. My wife and I took one of her courses and it was awakening and brought us closer together and more open around sex and communicating.

Sounds like you know what you want, but your human conditioning around what other people think is having a strong effect on you (dont worry, it effects most). Go for your desires, women, social skills, saving money, skills in general (all useful and worthwhile). Generic life purpose is over rated and craving life purpose can be a grand source of suffering, with certain people telling others they should have one or individuals feeling like something is wrong with them because they don't have one or have one that doesn't line up with what their social circle/society is telling them is a good one or one that a Life Purpose is supposed to look like. Godspeed, enjoy your life and remember to be kind along the way :).

There is actually a "neither" answer, but it may elude you if your fixed on believing that your doing the questioning and answering. A big bang happened long before you had questions, grew a solar system, earth happened to be one of them in which grows people, of which your one and convinced your in full control of the process you speak of.

I just discovered it, you have any links to the other stuff?

I'm grateful for these two video's, one music, one clearing, both blissful. And my cat on my lap, my wife in the kitchen and my mom. Love love love.

@BipolarGrowth What was the experience like? I had a purple octopus friend from another dimension.

If you really want to work through this type of thing (not a fan of the word problem since these are just ideas and stories) then I'd start with what are you coping from with "I dont care". It may suck and feel shitty or scarey or visceral in some way, but do a little peaking into this at a time and go deeper as you feel more interest and desire. Take notes, think about what youve discovered from time to time and ask is it the way you want to remain or are you open to a different way of being. Then let nature take its course.

I don't know if there is a objective "why" to anything in which you can track "some-thing" back to its origin, and in it find a note on it in which it says why it exists and why its doing what its doing. For exploration sake, maybe practice dropping the why. Just notice the desire to know why arise, and instead of getting into a series of emotions and thoughts around "why" just see what happens to not answer. Try this here and there over a number days to weeks and see if its a quality you like. I found at a certain time of my life, why's where just a form of suffering and constant control, was a real breakthrough learning to let myself not need to know why, and just let it be ok not to know either way.

Ya as Leo said, self love is key and don't be reluctant to take a few days off or even a week or two if needed (you may need more, and its all good). Another thing that may be useful to let in and maybe grounding or reducing of fear is when you get into this space "Physical sensations feel like their there on their own, no-one is there to feel them, I'm somewhere "In the background" Just notice that ALL of this takes place in You. Your not aware of it happening outside of you, its happening within/as You. "Background" is a feeling, in You/Experiencing. "Physical sensations feeling like their on their own" happens in You/Experience itself. "No-one there to feel them" is happening in You/Experiencing. This is always happening even when you are not aware of You.

@Gesundheit Hmm deep question. Well the easy answer is its the same as anything else. But what is anything else? Well......... it may require to let go of what you think you know to find out.

If it feels good, it feels good. If it feels bad, it feels bad. The meaning of life is a whole other topic. If your trying to figure out why things feel good or bad, well look into this for yourself in your own experience, there isn't a answer that fits All. Sometimes things feel bad because its the way in which you look at life or a circumstance. Sometimes things feel bad because your flesh was cut, sometimes because somethings missing in your diet or sleeping patterns, other times its because of matters beyond understanding,

Expired thread.

See this is what I'm pointing to in my earlier response about how the 3 teachers I mentioned point out their believed faults in certain words (such as consciousness) and how this makes this view incorrect. Its perhaps limiting, and perhaps unavoidable. Words don't mean anything inherently and to imply they do or imply they mean something in particular is "........." and perhaps missing the point of the intention of what these teachers are trying to point to.

Really touching, thanks for sharing.

Jims, Tony Parsons, and Andreas Mullers message as I've said before is one of my favorites, however the only thing I'm not a fan of is I don't think they appreciate the value or use of other messages that are paradoxical to theirs, perhaps because they hold to much onto the accuracy of theirs. In my opinion you could say that any message has the ability to point to Truth or "What Is", even if it uses words and directions such as "I" "Choice" "Intention" "Connected" and many others words/metaphors these 3 get hooked up on, and tell the questioner that those aren't good words or messages due to the underlying false beliefs such words/metaphors hold, when in fact it just may be that these teachers are holding onto their own story and saying the questioner is wrong (and at other times, they are guiding them into a clearer seeing so to say). Anyways, good video.

You might as well add almost all media to the list. First of all, I'm a Democrat, just want to get that out of the way before I trash them at this juncture in time. For example, every sensational piece put out on Donald Trump around racism that I've looked into, has turned out to be a misrepresentation of the media, video's have been spliced edited or taken out of context. I've only spent a few hours of my time to this little project of just looking into how truthful the sources I once listened to are true. Some instances of Trumps response to the Corona virus have turned out to be false in terms of his response to it and some claims have been out right lies. Generalizations of how he's been horrible for the economy or how he's doing nothing for the average man as well. Again only a small amount of time I've wanted to look into this, but I'm almost batting 100% in terms of finding constant lies by left wing media (which from what I understand is the majority in power). Do I like Donald? Not really, he seems brash, childish, has the body language of a bully at times, but again this is just my persception and it could very well be influenced from the years of believing hes the character ive been told he was through constant left wing media I held true. He really could be a different guy who's outlandishly been misrepresented (wouldn't surprise me at this point based on the lies Ive uncovered on him). Also wouldn't surprise me if the Dems did rig the election in some way to win (would not be the first time powers that be do anything they can to win). So this is Propoganda in my opinion. A constant influx of false narratives that sway the way a person or a collective see's an individual, a religion or a faith, a science or an aspect of life. Only reason I can say I am a demarcate and want one in power is because of their general views on environment and overall they "seem" a hair more concerned about things that line up with my heart and feelings.

Unfair according to what measurement? In your momentary opinion, in the opinion of those you learned from? Consider if this fundamental position actually isn't true, like if you looked at the dictionary of life and it didn't have this definition. What then, what would there be that would need to be accepted about life being unfair? Can you see how this idea, just may be an idea that you suffer around and struggle to deal with, when in fact there is no definition or truth that lines up with your belief about unfairness?

@Moksha You wanna hear a real mind fuck, there isn't even the exact knowing or event called "there is a now and things will change" going on, that to is just something that can't really be said exactly, but i guess could be labeled as a human way of shaping things imaginatively...

First of all I want to say good on you for the willingness to face a person you felt like hurt you and confront him. Sounds like you were in a lot of pain and confusion over this and wanted an apology. To be honest the one you got is more then you'll get in life sometimes. That said, he may be telling the truth from his point of view. He and the guys may of just been joking around and may of done similar things to one another but no one felt as hurt about the type of joking and shit as you were. This doesn't mean its your problem and you shouldn't of felt that way, it just lets you know what kind of things you do and dont like and in the future you can speak up for yourself sooner and leave a situation more clean sooner because you know who you are and what you find enjoyable and funny. This is a part of growing up. My advice is to just accept the guys truth as he said it, not to blame him and expect him to see it exactly how you saw it and for him to apologize in the way you feel is needed for you to move on. If you wait for other people to act the way you want before your willing to feel ok with things, you'll be in a lot of discomfort you don't have to. You can let go of your pain and angry and blame when you want, you dont have to wait for someone else to give you permission (it may not be easy, and yes sometimes it helps for someone to hear, apologize and understand you, but this is not going to happen all the time and you either learn to let go or hold onto your pain)

You got my vote. While I haven't spoken to him in over a year, he seemed like a decent guy with a good heart.

Thats fair. Think about these as well. You say you feel like you are your body, and its your body that is thinking. now if you look with a microscope into your body, you'll discover empty space and electrons and protons and all sorts of energies, and microbes. If you are your body, then you must be more primarily electrons, protons, water, microbes, all the material and energetic make make up right? And your those, your also the source of those, which includes the earth, tree's clouds, animals eaten, the solar system and the big bang that started it (since those are all the creating mechanisms of that which makes up "body". Again Body would not exist without those, of which body is just material produced from other sources.
