IMO, this sentence doesn't apply to me because, if it's one thing I'm usually being accused of is diving too deep about things and sometimes, depending on who I'm relating to, getting told to try to meet people where they're at to the point where I'm kind of having trouble just seeing things on a surface level. I even find myself making excuses for it to the point where I have to tell myself it isn't necessary to think that deep or outside the box as it's not necessary in all cases, especially when speaking about practical things. That's how I see myself, and I'm not denying that you see it differently because, in the end, it's just a matter of opinion.

I didn't say they shouldn't admit they are alcoholics. Knowing you are an alcoholic and trying to change by identifying as something else is the way to go if you understand the power of the mind. Every alcoholic isn't the same and are at different levels in their state of consciousness. I've known a few and, like I said, I've personally dated one, so what you've explained doesn't apply to all. What applies to all, however, is the Universal mind and how it works on a general level even though it still depends on how it's being used and projected outward from each individual perspectives and how they see themselves and the world. Main thing here is accepting, identifying and being aware of the problem, which most already internally do or they wouldn't voluntarily be there but change is more powerful by identifying with something else. The same way how to change a habit requires another habit in it's place because of how the brain works. If one keeps saying IAM an alcoholic then they are maintaining and sustaining that living entity to always influence their train of thought and even if they never drink again, they will usually only replace it with something on a similiar frequency that caused the dependency on alcohol and why it was abused. One thing I've noticed is that most will get addicted to coffee drinking because of the "sipping" motion and that sipping motion is the same motion that alcoholics are accustomed to.

He's right, though; not for all women but some can only orgasm using fingers. For some, penetration while using the fingers on the clitorus is the only way because penetration alone won't do. Not the "without touching her" part, but the using hands or fingers part.

Maca Root on a more holistic level builds libido for both men and women. It also helps with ED in the long run. WARNING: Do not take if you don't want to be constantly horny.

Yes, people don't understand that you have to get at the core to fully heal. Most of society's treatments deals with the symptoms and not the root cause. To get at the root cause you have to keep digging deep - a.k.a at the root. Most of the times it's a searching for love. Other people are addicted too but not to the obvious, so they don't consider themselves addicts as in emotions and thoughts. Most of society are walking around with addictions but they don't realize it because of how society is constructed. It's basically a playground of coping mechanisms. This is why most people are unhappy.

What does this have to do about being bored with the forum.

Lovely pics.

You really are bored.

On point.

The very desire to be happy is what's creating the unhappiness. You're telling yourself that you're not happy by searching for happiness.

You're right about this. I wasn't suggesting, though, to go into spiritual matters but to take a different approach where the addicts don't have to introduce themselves as addicts. That's an identity and one that will leave the mind having to defend. If they understood this as leaders, they would realize how that impacts their recovery. I've seen how EFT works and they do have programs that are efficient and impactful because they do take this into consideration and approach their healing practices holistically where their patients heal and not depend on other things to cope. I used to date a cop turned detective that was an alcoholic and he would say once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. This was after his recovery period started and he never went back, but he had to be cognizant of his weaknesses to avoid triggers. He had anxiety issues and would be easily triggered by traffic. So, they still had issues, just dealt with it in different ways and expressed their anger outward because deep down he wasn't healed. Plus being a cop didn't help. I dated him after all that and after he retired, but the remnants were visible. I knew him for years before while he was a cop but didn't date him then but I could tell he was still dealing with coping issues. He never drank for years but still thought he was an alcoholic. It's because he kept identifying as that.

lmao.😅

My problem with AA is that it teaches people how to stay alcoholics and make them dependent on the system. The "recoverers" aren't aware of this and believe it's the only way; but the main thing is how they introduce themselves. "My name is Adam, and I AM an alcoholic". If you know anything about how the mind operates, whatever you say after I AM with conviction and intensity and believe to be the case, you become. So, these unsuspecting addicts will remain in that state forever to the point where they mostly believe they are still alcoholics that can never be cured.

The reason why I started the health food mega thread about a year and a half ago, I believe, was I was going through a period of OK, seems like a lot of arguing and disagreements. People were criticizing the forum and I was kinda of like I don't know nothing really good happening. It was also a short phase which ended after I decided to do something about it and delved into a hobby of mine and interest and decided to feature it here on the forum because I didn't want to lose interest or make threads complaining like others were. Now, leaving has never crossed my mind, no matter what I go through here and have since started three other Mega threads Powerful, Powerful (AudioBooks), and Powerful (The Mind), where I post videos in their respective topics. I do it to try to give back and be of some service and not only to argue about there's no you and who's doing 2000 approaches. Just kidding here, but yeah, only boring people get bored.

I will post in the Audio book section.

Thank you.

Oh I googled, too much information. Sometimes I'm just kidding around. But I get it. I'll tell Susan to tone it down.

Not sure what that means, please tell me.

It's natural for me. I took up psychology in college because I was so curious about human behavior and the concepts of "why" from an early age. So, it takes practice to be able to acquire this skill. I know the more you acknowledge them out loud, the more they present themselves. Today alone I had two. Real quick, I was talking to somebody today about cats and they asked me my cat's name; I told them. They then started to tell me theirs and before they got the name out, I said to myself I bet it will be a name of a cat I've had before. Nope, it wasn't. Guess what, they proceeded to tell me of a cat their mother had named........guess what, it was the same name of a cat I previously had. Things like that. It's a fun game I play with the mind. It's not just about your needs and wants, just a playfulness with life. Infact, the more you use life for your needs and wants instead of giving back, like I try to do here and in my personal life, the more life takes from you because life mirrors back to you what you present to it. If you say take, take, take, life says, take take take it takes from you. Just approach life with genuine curiosity and wonder and it will show you things that puts you in wonder. Go within more, stop focusing on what others are doing as much, focus on thoughts, feelings and your state of being. Watch stuff that puts the mind at ease including movies, music and people. It's a way of being and the more you rest in awareness the more you become in sync. My life isn't perfect, and I do face challenges, but it's how I see them that counts and the way I respond to them that makes a huge difference.

My kind of guy. Work it babyyy, lol. I don't have to worry about nobody sticking their huge overload in my precious little kitty and give me stomach pain and blisters around my labia minora and majora. Hehe.

I would suggest things to get rid of a cold fast, but whenever I do, I get flack and get called a witch or that my suggestions doesn't pass the science test, or that the FDA will not recognize it as poisonous and recommend it to the public and slap a price tag on it. So I won't anymore. Let these other people who keep getting sick suggests something.

If I wanted to kill you and i know I can get that done by inviting you to a nice candlelight dinner to my house with lots of good food and I made your special meal and blaze blah, but I ended up poisoning you in the end and you die, that was bad intention. If I ended up poisoning you unknowingly because I didn't realize that blue Slurpee i made you was made of windshield wiper fluid and you die, my intention was good. Nothing to do with moralizing. I could use other examples like if I gave a crack head $5 not realizing he was a crack head but just a beggar that needed food, and he bought Crack with the $5 and overdosed, my intention was good. And If gave a knowing Crack head $5 to go by Crack and they overdosed, bad intention.

I'm responding to the whole post, but only quoted this part because it's essential for why you're going through what you're going through. My response might sound woo woo but it's up to you to get what I'm saying or not. Some try to exclude these Universal truths and end up in positions like yours or other unnecessary challenges of other kinds. Except for the obvious illness or biological deformities etc, that needs to be attended to and return to balance, THERE'S NOTHING TO FIX. The very notion of you thinking you need to fix yourself IS THE VERY THING THAT IS CAUSING YOUR INTERNAL PAIN. Imagine a table in perfect order, nothing wrong with it and you're trying to fix a broken leg where there's none. What would that look like. (that's just a random eg and can be extrapolated to anything). You would get frustrated and worn out trying to fix something that didn't need fixing. If you tell yourself you need fixing then you have, by your own claim CREATED something to fix. The mind now has to imagine things and put into your psyche things to fix. It will not work because it's all imaginary. (I don't mean that in the existential sense, but more on a practical level as you thinking about something, imagining something). The mind loves to solve problems and if it believes there's something there that is not, it will try to find the answers where there's none. It doesn't understand that it's not a real thing and it will create things that calls for tangible, real solutions in the physical world. Imagine trying to get rid of a ghost by shooting it with a gun, or trying to hit a thought with a hammer to make it go away. Same thing. I'm not saying don't go to therapy etc, what i'm saying is, do it under the mindset of maybe I might get to understand what the mind is doing, or why do I feel there's something wrong with me or to try and understand your emotions and anxiety or try to see where you can get better at understanding the underlying reason as to why you feel there's something wrong. That takes a special type of therapy; but not try to fix anything. Trying to fix implies you know there's something wrong and need to find solutions on how to fix it, VS reaching out for help as to why you have those beliefs and recognizing they are false, and trying to find solutions on how to replace those beliefs. I will also suggest that you try to not include those past stories about your mom and sister and half-sister and all those stories of the past into your quest for help in trying to defeat your challenges. All that does us feed the mind some more of why it thinks it needs to fix something. It doesn't realize that that is partially the cause of your challenges because of not being able to stay present but live in the past and future. You have created those memories again and again and again, and is the reason why you cannot get pass this. Please understand what I'm saying, it's chain of events for the mind, NOT REALITY. This comment is already long even though I could go on to say a lot more, to get you to really grasp what i'm saying and I've seen cases like yours over and over again and they all are under the same category - living in the past, having beliefs that triggers certain emotions that makes the body relive those circumstances and not being able to recognize that they are doing this unconsciously. It's the things in common that all you have in cases like these. You're not alone; in fact, it's quite common. I'll stop here, any questions feel free to ask.

I forgot the story but it goes something like this. A man went to church to try to look good a man tried to seek God in a bar. The bar man went to heaven. Something like that. IOW, intention is the key. Doesn't matter the outcome as much as what was the intention. That's more powerful and can override any outcome.
