Did you stop to think maybe she loves him?

@VeganAwake Excellent video!!! ? These videos have so many great reminders for some and epiphanies for others!

@Preety_India Welp, sometimes situations and ppl come into our lives to dig up (trigger) past hurts and wounds in us that we aren't yet to clear on or we don't yet have solid boundaries. Which allow others to hurt us deeply, giving away our power/energy to them. They then have the upper hand, which causes us to feel weak and our boundaries become even weaker. It can be a downward spiral effect. Best you can do is really soul search what you want and if that person is 1) willing and 2) capable of providing it, if so but that's not happening, it may be your communication and boundaries need serious work. But, if not, it's time to set boundaries and leave the situation. "When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation, or accept it. All else is madness." Eckhart Tolle

And, thanks again, for posting. I like this guy. ❤

@remember Ohhh, come on now, you are really being sensitive here. I'm female, a mod and I laughed out loud when I read his comment. Being mind-raped by a drug, does not equate to nor mean the same thing, imo, as sexual rape. Not even close. Try not to derail the topic, because you are overly sensitive. Thank you.

@VeganAwake I subscribed too❤. I'm on this now-

Watch this other vid of his on "Are you the doer" ?❤

Love, love straight forward, no bullshit, short and sweet, no non-sense, to the point...pointing, yes!?❤

@Beginner Mind Gotcha, good luck!

❤

People who understand their nature as awareness/consciousness do not do evil to others. It is "ignorance of one's true nature" that promotes evil. Christ said, “Father, forgive them for the know not what they do.” (ignorance) Ignorance/Maya makes awareness "identify" as a person who does not know that it is actually whole and complete awareness. If awareness/consciousness is under the spell of ignorance it does actions that cause suffering to it and to others in the form of the "person".

@Schahin My perspective is that you, as Schahin, are but an "aspect" of the totality. All things must mesh and work together, in what I would say is the dharma field (aka Isvara/God). So, everything that happens or doesnt happen, is perfect and works perfectly regarding the physical and psychological laws/rules, karma, etc of all things. Only God could work out such a perfect plan. However, with that said, one must always think and do what is of highest value to them, as free will is equal to determinism. Meaning, there is no determinism without free will and vs versa, as time unfolds in the now. So, awakening is and isn't a gift from God, depending how you see it. If you see that free will=determinism, then yes, it is.

@Dalin Excellent! ❤

@ganu Locking this thread too far off topic.

I would say that you are consciousness experiencing a person. Not the other way around. So, there would be no way to not have a "subjective experience",(of thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc) when the "illusion" of the person is "within" awareness. Unless, maybe, you are in a coma.

@Dalin Hi, welcome to the forum! I think many people have the same concerns that you seem to, regarding if they are abandoning a religious faith and what impact that may have. I'd say, it has no impact what so ever, but I can't make you see that perspective. You would need to see through self-inquiry that your "true nature" has nothing to do with organized religion. However, with that said, you also don't need to abandon your religious beliefs altogether, but actually put them into proper perspective. Bhakti yoga is a spiritual practice focused on a loving devotion towards a personal god. Nothing wrong with it, imo, as long as its not fear based.

Hehe, thanks ?

@Aggelos Doulgerakis Not a problem, good luck

@Aggelos Doulgerakis Yeah, sounds like you have some stuff to work through, but you seem very eager to solve your issue and that's 1/2 the battle. So, I'd say try therapy again. You may need to stick with it a bit longer this time.

Have you tried talk therapy?

https://exploringyourmind.com/emotional-gastritis-symptoms-causes-and-treatments/ Sounds psychosomatic and is called emotional gastritis. I linked an article for you. It suggests a 3 fold approach- medical, emotional and diet changes for treatment. I do hope you feel better, sounds awful.

Hehe, you used 2 out of 3, good job!

@Alex bliss Zodiac signs often give a decent generalization of potential personality traits. I ask most ppl I talk to their zodiac sign, for fun. My sign is the communicator of all the zodiac signs. I got in trouble for talking soooo much in grammar school, its not even funny. Ok, kinda funny. Now I can control it, mostly, but if I set my mind to it, I can essentially have a conversation with the most socially inept communicator known to man.

Well, in the USA if you're 18 you are old enough to vote and fight (and get killed) for your country. Is it just your country? Anyhow, do what you like, stop worrying about what others think?

@Stratos Yes, do keep us posted and good luck!
