Call Me Whatever

...for the man I want to become, but haven't yet.

Since I've increased the quality of my consciousness I've lost the motivation to play the parlor games associated with dating, and thus my dating life has stalled into a state of voluntary celibacy at a juncture where I'm getting more eye contact from teens to milfs than I ever have, with such regularity I've come to expect it. Opportunity abounds, and yet, the internal changes I've experienced have dampened my motivation to satisfy the ferocity of my libido. On one hand, I imagine a connection with a woman could be so much more amazing post awakening, on the other, I've become resistant to the enmeshments such relations bring.

Because, why not? Please, everyone, including our host, Leo, let's open our hearts and send some Love to Trump in written form.

My sympathies tend to fall to the political right, and I can generally be regarded as man in the top 5 percent of aesthetic male beauty, so this holds some personal truth.

I know this is an unpopular take here, but imo the political left is wholly discrediting itself, what with the wanton destruction, the seemingly never ending hoaxes, the everyone's a nazi and racist name calling, the utterly bizarre alliance with corporate America. It's unreal.

I remind you guys the media called both John McCain and Mitt Romney ... . . . wait for it . . . NAZIS!!!

"Sri McDonald Trump Maharaj" My sides, they're splitting!!

The cynicism in this thread is disappointing in a way. You guys are supposedly ""green"" and yet can't even offer a token of Love to a fellow human because orange man bad, or whatever. Sad. All of you are Donald Trump. I am Donald Trump.

I've heard NAC can ease anxiety in people, but I have no direct experience with it.

What's its cause and how does one escape it?

Thank you guys for the responses! @Nahm A part of what you wrote made me think of this question: "Are you in-love with the art, or yourself IN the art?" My best creations happen when I totally forget myself. It's meditative in a sense, and extremely satisfying.

@Heart of Space Come'on, man.

Orange man bad.

@Leo Gura I voted Trump in 2016.

I wish I knew how to uncover them.

You have to set boundaries and be willing to walk if she doesn't respect them. If you set a boundary, you must enforce it. If you fold you've lost her respect and her moist approval.

@Aspiraling Wizard It's not that complicated, and I don't see the contradiction. I get an urge to mate, which is often, then I sublimate that urge into higher drives. Women are a complete distraction right now, for many reasons. Boobs are temporary, the Glory of Rome is forever, if you receive my meaning.

My mind is currently a madhouse, rather than an Ashram. I need to do much more inner work before I go down that road again. I'm fighting way too many demons right now as I try to make sense of all this.

"They feel the same feelings as everyone else" This makes me more curious about the nature of feeling. I'm the furthest thing from a master, but I've reached a point where I don't get carried away with every emotional intensity. Some still get me, though today I was able to let an intense one go that could have affected me all day. I looked at the intensity, and just made the decisions to let it go and it dissolved.

So "knowing", then, is the cause of distortion, which creates duality by overlaying experience with subjectivity?

Thank you.

I've been watching the pimp and prostitute videos, and the dynamics of the "pimp/ho" relationship are repulsive. It's really sad.

@Forestluv My point is none of these people are going to face de-platforming, job loss, two minutes hate, loss of reputation, doxxing, etc., for promoting a program supported by every organ of power in society. In other words, there is no risk whatsoever for its promotion. These same people would be giving Hitler the roman salute had they been born in that era.

@Leo Gura "They don't realize how tame that is compared to a true bloodbath" I think we should keep in mind the extreme brutality the political right is capable of, with history being our guide.

I'm sorry, but there is nothing brave or stunning about this street theater. BLM is promoted by the entire cultural, political, and corporate structure. Billions of dollars are poured into it. This guy is not speaking Truth to Power in any way whatsoever; he's genuflecting to it while triggering the demoralized.
