Haha ok I might do that

@Anton_Pierre Taking action is the best way to get back to your daily grind and start doing the things you need to do to catch that momentum again.

Haha Did you know that during orgasm our self awareness gets suspended? In other words, our sense of self collapses and we are in the zone of no-self/no-mind for that few seconds. Wonder if one can get awakened from staying consciously present during the Big O

@StarStruck That's being a benevolent force. Leo listed it as one of the things highly conscious people do in his '10 Things You Don't Know You Want' video. And it's also one of the things the happiest man on earth (accordong to neuro scientists) Matthieu Ricard does also.

@Bill W Thank you for your understanding

Lol This kind of con happens everywhere just with different things. People will never run out of crazy-ass ideas like this to profit from the gullible folk. That's just human nature

That's really messed up that anyone would want to buy this kind of stuff. Even if it's just children with their birthday money

@abrakamowse It's ok to scratch your nose/move your body a bit at first. The point is to build endurance for distractions with every sit. Eventually, you'll be able to do the whole hour without moving. I'm not there yet myself. Mostly because my dog wants my attention of a sudden when I sit down to meditate

@abrakamowse Try to do a 1 hr Strong Determination Sit sometime. It's when you sit for an hour without moving your body. It can be quite intense at first, but it grounds you big time. The monkey mind can't compete with that one

@abrakamowse Yes, I think so. 20 mins sits once day without distractions would still be helpful too.

@abrakamowse All good helpful steps. Do you meditate?

@kev014 Make your Mom feel special in ways that are meaningful to her. Here are some ideas: - Remember her Birthday, Mother's Day, and other special times you both share. - Give her flowers occasionally (women love fresh flowers, don't ask why, take it as a fact). - Visit/call her once a week to let her know you care about her and ask if she needs anything. - If you have kids, have them make something cute and give it to their grandma - a drawing, DIY project, framed photograph, baked goodies, etc. - Have your kids visit with her. - Include her in your life, like family gatherings, outings, maybe invite her to join on your family vacation. - Find out what she needs and help her with that. - Ask her to tell you about her memories of your as child. - Listen to her patiently. - Tell her you love her. You don't want to engage in lengthy conversations about why it didn't work in the past. Focus on the present instead. Show her kindness and that you're willing to accept her regardless of what happened before. You are a good son. Your Mom should be proud

Yes. Or as Leo put it in his earlier comment 'The hand of God'

I take it as a yes then. Good for you. Now get to real relationship work and learn to attend to her needs at the expense of yours and we'll see the kinds of emotions that will come out of you

When she is ill and lumpy and tired and smelly and old, will you still make necessary sacrifices to be there for her and take care of her? That's the real test of love. "In sickness and in health".

But you have those unlovable parts too and crave to be accepted and loved regardless, don't you? Seeing a human in each other and not a princess or a knight in shiny armor is what always going to be the most challenging part of any relationship. .

And knowing this truth, are you still willing to love the unlovable in her and allow her to love you back as unlovable parts of you, is what the real question is

@theking00 @Psyche_92 @Identity @Shin You guys idealize girls too much. Reality check for you all - girls' breath stinks in the mornings and they can be smelly, they pee and shit like you do, they have lots of insecurities and fears, they have daddy issues, they are good at covertly controlling and manipulating, they are emotional freaks, and most of them hate their looks. Is this something you'd want to put on a pedestal and be infatuated with? If you do, then be my guest. But seeing a woman at her most humane and volnurable moments and still accept and love the unlovable parts of her (and visa versa) is what really makes or breaks a relationship.

The sister analogy is helpful to initially break ice while approaching. It helps you to not see her as someone placed on a pedestal. Then once the ice is broken, you use your other skills to attract her and create sexual tension.

That dynamic can spill into how you perceive females in general. But even then you can still use this 'sister' principle to help approach girls. By basically seeing her humanity in everyday grind of life, like you observed it with your own sisters - messy hair in the mornings, food stuck in her teeth while eating, smelly restroom after she goes to take a dump, etc. I'm sure you have many good memories of them too, like when you played together, shared an ice-cream cone, bantering with each other, etc.

Haha ok

First by stopping to feel intimidated by them. The truth is girls are as much intimidated by guys initially. That's why they use all sorts of defensive mechanisms ofc out of insecurity. Deep inside, though, every girl wants to be wanted, just like any guy is. So first work on making her feel comfortable and relaxed in your presence. Sense of humor, good listener, good hygene, emotional stability, ability to lead, etc. Approach her as you'd approach your own sister. Guys who grew up with sisters around already have some sort of understanding/skill with girls, those who didn't would definitely need to learn.

Sounds interesting What type of business/customer would you market your product to?

This thread is not going anywhere. Please focus on more relevant topics that can actually help you grow.

This forum has a good feminine-masculine energy balance. Part of self-actualizing is to bring out feminine in guys and masculine in girls. So the reason you don't notice dominance of either is because people here for the most part are well balanced in their polarities
