Tell me. If you could choose what you want to hear more from a partner: "I deeply respect you" or "I deeply love you" I do think there will be overlap depending on how we define romantic love - this is about what you want to hear more from a woman.

@Rishabh R @StaraX thank you - and thanks to the rest of the men who replied! Appreciated Interested to hear what @CARDOZZO @Valach @BlessedLion @Zenterus might say

Thank you for the replies - the question is about spoken words regarding expressing affection. Not actions. I found the question interesting because it provoked a lot of thought for myself in my business relationships (95% men). The contractors I ask more frequently report they want to hear they are respected. I have a strange, biased sample size so I am interested to hear what the men who engage in consciousness work replied with.

Gotcha. Honestly this is SUCH a big topic for contemplation - and for me it is never-ending. Feelings, emotions, thoughts. MASSIVE. And I am no way near done! But I truly appreciate this little snippet of dialogue. Love a good brain rubbing session

Wait okay - for myself - not all feelings are just sensations. If I say sensations I say sensations. Maybe there is some mixup happening

Yes, exactly. You can have direct experience of a feeling and overlay (perception) also be true.

So, when you feel a tingling in your feet - there is no connection active? You are just your feet tingling?

To conclude from the original statement - I am making a claim regarding telepathy. I won't be able to prove my claim - It is beyond my personal ability to do so. My claim is based on two unique experiences. But my knowing of the experiences is true.

@Jirh You can connect to your feelings in an inauthentic way through misunderstanding. Maybe feelings are direct for you - but often we have a layer of HOW we are interacting with them. That layer is interpretive. For example, I can feel my heart rate increase, my breathing quicken. I might feel that as anxiety. I might feel that as excitement. Which one is true? How do you know?

In my worldview, thoughts, feeling and emotions are not separate. Don't know if that helps or not.

Technology is a conduit for connection. Feelings are a conduit for connection.

But you can observe a feeling. You can connect to it. The nature of the authenticity of the connection and relationship to the feeling can be true - or untrue.

Is feeling not part of knowledge?

@Jirh What's the difference between technology and telepathy?

@Jirh You are in for a surpise!

@Sugarcoat have you had a look at the (quite remarkable) stuff available regarding remote viewing? Another form of non-local awareness perception

You guys might enjoy:

Would you use it less? Would you use it more? Would it change how you use it? Would you be more intentional in your use?

@Sugarcoat I just see it as non-local awareness. There is nothing to indicate a thought is only happening in my mind. How can I claim a thought? It can't even be qualified. We can't scan a brain and "see" a thought. I can't touch, feel, smell, taste or hear a thought... It's some funky weird contractions of energy riverbating out... How can I say that is constrained to just my own little private skull / brain bottle of awareness? Haha! Anyway... Some delicious thoughts... That can now be... You're food. For thought 🥰

I do shit (shit#1) - then shit (shit#2) occurs afterwards. Shit#1 and Shit#2 appear to be associated. But in reality, all I can say is one shit is happening then another. I am making a connection between the two shits - via inference - up in my head? I got to this based on determinism / free will and reviewing this thread: Confused with free will I don't think I can say anything else other than "I observe some pattern of shit, some regularities of said shit, and some sequences of shit" Correct me if I am wrong - but I am making this connection up?

Seconding this - go from the feeling to reach the emotion, which can open up the actual memory of the event (sometimes it does, sometimes not, sometimes not needed) and work to change the relationship to the feeling.

Speaking from my own experience - it helped me on my healing path (and in particular application to forgiveness and surrender as a method of unravelling emotional wounds) to try to go back to when I first felt that particular feeling. We experience loads of stuff. Often I get frustrated with myself. My own self frustration and negative narrative (shame based) was never triggered as much after I went back to my feelings and tracked it to the source. I first felt that when my father tried to teach me mathematical times tables. I just couldn't get it. The feeling of frustration and shame with myself was my first memory of it. Sitting at the table. My Dad getting really, really angry at me - and me feeling it was my fault for his anger. Banging his fist on the table. Hearing him from the other room comment to my mother "I think she may have a learning difficulty". I didn't even clearly remember this until I went back to the feeling. Every new instance of feeling self frustration was retouching that first taste of it. And I realised I was fearing that. Something about becoming aware of the first time I felt it lead to it unravelling. I wasn't worried about experiencing it. The narrative stopped. My frustration lessoned. I think what happened was: finding an early emotionally significant memory changed my relationship to the feeling. I forgave my Dad and myself because I wasn't responsible for his reaction - and he wasn't either. He was just conditioned to respond like that. He was stressed. Upset at himself for being unable to teach me. I stopped being afraid of feeling frustration. I didn't even KNOW there was a layer of fear there. I surrendered to fully feeling the whole memory all over again to realise that the feeling couldn't hurt me. I used this process extensively for around a year, and it dissolved a lot of my own negative inner narrative. And like an operating system freed from hidden background processes choking it into gridlock - my entire living experience became 90% easier. None of my intellect was being swallowed up by unconscious reactions, thoughts and narratives. Life is a lot easier. Effortlessness. Forgiveness and surrender did this for me. It might not work this way for everyone - but it did for me.

It is sort of hard to answer without bringing charisma into it so the definition is clearer. But you make me rethink my position! Charm = making people feel good around you, positive feelings Attraction = pull toward someone, desire Charisma = ability to influence and energise people, attention I may be unusual in my definition as I am very, very sceptical and wary of people who wield charm. I feel as if it can be used for leverage by inducing good feelings. Charisma is closer in alignment to inner confidence, authenticity, presence and conviction. Charm is more warmth, likability and social intelligence. Attraction is desire, compatibility, chemistry, values... appearance. Attraction is often instinctual and tethered closely to the unconscious (biology, conditioning, attachment patterns, status and confidence cues etc). I feel like attraction often happens several layers down prior to deliberate reasoning. I take a second look at charm because I consider it easily faked. It can be genuine. But it requires inspection to know. Attraction and charisma come from a position of greater authenticity of expression. Do you have any sort of thought out distinction?
