@KeepPounding - interesting username there is a longing in every human being. Your mind tries to tell you that it is for power and status, but the real desire underlying this, is that you - all of us - is longing for happines. In our current society, power and status are seen as happiness. What you're going to find our sooner or later, is that the only happiness is the one you find inside.

@Pinocchio and distraction...

@MartineF I used to work for a small association for teens with medium mental handicap. That is the period when my natural talent to tune into people developped to a stage where I can now feel people's energy from a looooong distance. Language is a pain in the...sorry lol. When you really stop and listen to your "heart" (in lack of a better term), energy just flows. What you can develop, is your ability to "translate" that energy into actual concepts...or not. Feeling it is enough. It needs no translation, other than sharing it with others.

Actually, boredom comes after we have been stuffing ourself with all kinds of distraction, but the deeper layer of it, is the complete unwillingness to feel our emotions. As noted by OP, boredom is not empty. It has flavors to it. It is a protection mechanism Mind uses so that we cannot go inside. @Arik , I'm sorry, are you sure it is mediation you're doing there? It sounds to me there's way too much importance going into whatever comes up during a process that is meant to empty you. If you asked me, I'd advise you to only do 20 minutes per day...

@DizIzMikey whoaaaa, quite the rant there, isn't it? That is a perfect example of a dying mind. One that has received a blow and it now cracked. Finding a guide is essential if you want to actually kill the mind and not develop a long time relationship with it... Listen to Mooji on youtube. Avoid heavy minded explanations or books... The "muscle" you need to build now it the "removing" one - disbelieve any and all offers mind comes up with. Look at what's "on offer" from Mr. Mind with the interest of a child discovering a toy he doesn't really appreciate or want. Don't buy into anything. Release. Disbelieve. If fear comes up, let it come and concentrate on what it is doing to body, not on what mind says about it. You're going to be just fine.

@99th_monkey Anytime

There's no way to go or not to go. Nowhere. No I. Where does a wave come from? Where does it go? Why is it born? Or is it born? Does it go???? What's its purpose? How would ocean look without waves? Can a wave go where it wants to go? Does it want to... does it not want? When it's gone, is it? When it crashes into another wave, do they form a third wave? Does a wave splashing a rock hurt more than one landing on the sand? This theme of giving up is called FEAR! Fear is the way beingness is showing you that you are out of alignment with who you really are. How else would it do it? While you eat in a restaurant enjoying...whatever it is there to enjoy?? Your wound becomes your healing. YOU you real you designed this so that you can come back home to yourself. Your mind goes into fear because it can see the castle dissolving, the castle it put all the energy into for a long time. Try to stop a wave from landing.

@Ludwig Wish the theme was bit more uplifting

@kellyyhengg look into co-dependency issues from childhood. Also low self-esteem.

What is important age-wise in a relationship, is that both partners are in the same place in their life quest: sexual experimentation > search for a life (long term) partner > career > having children > etc.

The answer is in your question actually. The way they talk is THEIR issue, not yours. Respond in the way that is YOU. Any other alternative will burn you out in the long run. What helped me in the same situation, was the thought that even the king makes funny faces when he's constipated LOL

@vizual Who's children?

@8LanguageStud Tolle, Mooji... whomever you can find valid talking about enlightenment stages. Marinate in that

@8LanguageStud Chose a guide (youtube) that you resonate with. Immerse yourself into his/her teachings and keep going back into the experience by yourself. Keep quiet.

@shouldnt I think this book will be of help to you: http://www.amazon.com/The-Artists-Way-Julia-Cameron/dp/1585421464

There is a certain chemistry of sexual attraction. If it isn't there or it has been lost, no amount of friendship can change that. Yes, I have always had male friends,

...as opposed to women which are not... ? LOL

Beloved Mooji, my Father, my Guru, my Master, There would need to be a me and a you for an I Love You to be taking place. But let "me" continue to praise "you" in this way for now. You have given me life in a more profound way than my fleshly father did. You have given me freedom, peace, joy, understanding and love. You have helped me come back to me and to all. I am dedicating this post to you in loving thanks I will be sharing my most treasured videos of you here, and let anyone do the same. *in this post, the meaning of you and I in all variations might be completely different from other's *this is a love topic dedicated to Moojiji, so please take any dissonant perception into another post if so inclined

Let's rant a bit just for the heck of it .. There is NO YOU!!! OKAY? Find me a you in there and present it to me You are breaking through the illusion that there is a thinker and doer (‘I, me’) in charge of what is going on... A "me" separate from "you" running its "own" life. Your mind has received a huge blow. Has been cornered by the realization that "oh fuck, it all is illusion" and is struggling!!! Doesn't know (holy) shit anymore!!! It is shedding the suffocating programming, that was squeezed into a tiny person. Can feel like giving birth... Destruction. Deconstruction of an illusory life you have worked so hard to create, so much energy has gone into it, so many projections and distractions!! The realization tends to be triggered by a person, an event or a thought. How else? A flying humanoid with wings knocking at the window? Come back to that you that is seeing all this with no judgement. Keep going back to it, no matter what Maya throws at you. This me here Is. This me here is watching it all coming and going.

@Algi Define God

@bobbyward You need a shift of vibration. Watch satsangs with whomever inspires you non stop for a week. Just turn them on in the morning... They can transport you. The only thing left when you're in your situation, is your FEAR that you might actually get where you wanted to be in the beginning of this journey

Trying to suppress your sexuality will get you further away from any type of inner work results. It is NOT your sexuality keeping you away from your realization. Your MIND is!! Imagine we were all 7 billions enlightened right this second. No more sexuality. No more children. Does that sound reasonable to you? Do that sound like a Godly plan ? Sit with that. Sit with the natural flow of a flower or a butterfly.. Coming and going. Do you think they are judging any of it? Have you ever seen a dog going to sleep? He doesn't think about it. He just sits down and sleeps and enjoys the sleep. You do the same. THAT is awareness
