Yeah, but the fact that he even went there says it all. Lots of straight people aren't attracted to people of the other sex. You're not attracted to every single female now are you.

Lots of men love the back shot position (doggy-style), love to do it in the butt, love to lick a woman's ass not to mention stare at it, I wonder why. Just saying, folks. Doesn't mean a thang.....lol

lots of straight men feel this way doesn't mean they wouldn't sleep with a male. Not saying you would, but that alone doesn't prove anything.

Yes, but that's not really what I'm saying. I bet you if some men and women get locked up and will never see the light of day again, they will automatically turn the other way and find themselves being with the same sex. You won't automatically feel the urge to sleep with a goat or a horse if you were locked up with them in a prison cell, but another person of same sex, the bi-sexuality might reveal itself then. I know plenty of gay women who are attracted to men and vice versa, it's just that they are either not attracted the same way or it's not dominantly their choice. I know because, my sister is gay and lives with her partner, my one time best friend back in the day is gay and is now legally married to her partner and she was with men before, I know straight men who are attracted to tranny's but have never been with men, I've been to gay clubs in the past and I myself have been in lesbian relationships and I have also been to the gay parade in NY. Been awhile, but I've been exposed to a lot of lgbtq stuff.

This is a great practice. I have personal experience with this and is what i focus on and try to cultivate every single day. I use my daily experiences as a tool for cultivation and have made this a part of who i am. Of course, life goes on and we have regular needs, desires and wants; but, for me, this is at the forefront.

Funny because I'm addicted to water to wake up. Can't have anything before my morning cup of water. I love the smell and taste of strong black coffee, though, but I'm not addicted, nor do I have to have it; but I do have it on occasion, especially if I go out for breakfast but only after I've had my water. I notice it does make me a tiny bit jittery like my leg starts to shake a bit but not as much as when people drink a lot of soda. That's worse because the caffeine and sugar mixed is like a double whammy with soda. Decaf coffee does have a small amount of caffeine, so beware of that but not enough to really make a difference. Boiling fresh cloves, can be a coffee replacement and i did post a special tea I made that tastes similar to coffee using cloves in the health food mega thread. Roasted Dandelion root can also be a healthy replacement. Just YT recipes or Google. Another one is mushroom coffee.

This is kind of in alignment with my response.

A long time ago I use to say this to myself. I haven't been disproven yet. One doesn't even have to have been with both sexes, or these days, tri-sexes to be considered bi. I think it's inherent whether we're aware of it or not. It's the nature of consciousness.

IOW, yes. You have just only explained to what degree you are.

I know, I can barely listen to him talk anymore. Shows how it's all about perception and change is within you. Also not to get so attached to the current because one day you'll be a totally different person than you are today; looking back like, was that even me.

I understand and deeply respect. I always admire your bravery and dedication to this work whether I agree with your way or not. It is truly admiring. Even though I came off harsh on you, you didn't came back at me with the same harshness as I gave you which to me, is a great sign of a leader. I was very harsh maybe because I admire you so much and to see you like that was very disappointing. Nothing to do with you, this was my own feeling even though i still meant and believe in what I said. Sometimes we can get so attached to this work and it can overshadow the way we perceive others and their pov's. Our approach will vary and the way we handle disagreements, pressure and/or conflicted views and beliefs will also vary. I went through that phase and came out now being unscathed by other's spiritual beliefs. I realize that I myself have to tone down on my own rhetoric and not shove down people's throats every second what I believe to be the case. I'm at the point now where I'm trying to balance that while sticking to my own truths in a way where I don't impose on others. Thanks for realizing that I was just trying to point something out to you that you might have not been aware of, and was how I saw it and not necessarily the case, but it was because I have so much respect for you and i wish you do the same to me if and when you notice me drawing the line so I can take a step back and introspect.

This is also "proof", for lack of a better word, that there's nothing outside of you. Nothing outside changed, your state of consciousness did. There's nothing but states of consciousness in the relative domain. You are the world and the world is you.

Why the world looks different and things appear different is because your insides has changed. Nothing changes unless we change. Awakening is becoming aware of the changes, which you have. Beautiful post and wording. Very inspirational.

I see you're living in the past. Realize that this is a conditioning and unconscious thinking not pertaining to your life. You have let the unconscious mind (not low-conscious) run the show. We all do it, so I'm not pointing you out, just observing. Doesn't mean it will happen to you because there are still plenty of happily married people around. This is how I learn and help to spot my own unconscious behavior by observing others' and applying the spiritual intelligence i've acquired.

I remember before all this spiritual stuff, I heard him speak, subscribed and was like, yes, I like. Now I'm like wtf. I guess it depends on where you're at and what you're into.

Truth, according to our teacher, is "that which is the case", so if you got gaslit, that's truth. Is that gaslighting. Let me stop before I get a point for gaslighting that I'm not aware of.

The shit humans invent. How can you make someone believe something they don't already have an inclination to believe. Is this gaslighting, because I'm not aware of it. Is that gaslighting trying to come off as innocently unaware. Is that gaslighting trying to understand gaslighting. Is that........lol

I am not doesn't exist.

Leo tries to not get into personal blabbering and spiritual warfare as much. He leaves that to the mods. Doubt he'll respond.

👍

I love me some Nemra.

Who is to say what's bullshit or not, spiritually. You are giving authority to people who might be bullshitters themselves. We aren't professional spiritual teachers or gurus or sages, so unless something is really way out there or some religious dogma ideology and clearly not what this forum is about, who is the judge of what's bullshit. Leo has the right to address what he considers inappropriate or not suitable because he's the admin and mods have a right to moderate forum guidelines, and also, within reason, what's not appropriate; but telling a forum member who is like one of us just expressing ourselves, sharing insights and perspectives that they call can out bullshit to me is one-sided. We are all here learning and expressing, and may not agree, but to point out to a particular member that they are allowed to call out bullshit because they personally think it's bullshit is asinine. Not that we don't or never call out other's if we think it's bullshit but for a mod to say to another member it's ok as if that member will definitely know it's bullshit is beyond me.

Well, this was my point, it wasn't respectful.

Giving is receiving and receiving is giving. It's both. Not one or the other.

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. I think that's exactly what happened. I heard my mom say, after her mom (my grandmother) passed, she wished God would take her because she felt it so bad. She loved her mother so much, plus she had eye and hearing problems. She passed around a year later. People die sometimes because that's what they wished for. Our wishes are being granted ever hour, ever minute, every second, it's just a delay because of the gift of time to change our minds. We don't realize it because we think by asking with words alone, the Universe hears us. No, it's our beliefs, feelings, focus and attention. They are magnetic and are read within the quantum field of infinite possibilities. The universe is alive and reads our vibration and what frequency we're tuned into. It's all a matter of focus and attention. Energy flows where attention goes. Focus on health and health comes your way, focus on sickness and sickness comes your way. I've healed my body many times with this method, nothing drastic, but because I identify as a healthy person the body quickly recovers. That's why addictions are so hard to beat because that's what one is focused on, it keeps coming their way. Ever heard of one that has an addiction to something and they have a hard time sourcing that addiction? The Universe will always find a way to get it to them. Even the homeless alcoholic with no job will always get his liquor; and why alcoholic anonymous "students" will always consider themselves alcoholics and have to be careful of backsliding because in their meetings they are told to introduce themselves as, "Hi, my name is John, and I'm an alcoholic". Scarred for life because that's their identity. Bad move.
