There was a time when i thought i would never find a man who would understand my need for spiritual subjects. WRONG. I found one. They are out there, maybe not in big numbers but you only need one.

Well, I don't want to make this sound like it is just about me. I was just questioning the idea that most men are in another level that we are; I worry about this in general also because my kids are males so I want to make sure I am ahead of the game when teaching them what is best for them and the world they live in.I am a firm beleiver that noone can be happy if we don't try and make the people around us happy as well, but we all have choices and between imposing our ideas or controlling or not doing it and not caring at all there is a big huge gap. Balance is in deed a huge word when you attach it to what people beleive is best for them. IP: Logged |

Ok, i see where you are coming from. I have a 14 yr old step daughter. She seems pretty balanced. I don't have her day in and day out but i can tell you that my hubby and i don't talk to her in stereotypes. We try to encourage her in the things she takes on and we try to not take advantage of her emotions when it is obvious that she is feeling unsafe and insecure. I personally want to help her succeed in the things she likes to do. But then there is highschool. I don't know what kids that age learn from their peers. I guess i can't control that. With your young kids you may see more balance in them naturally. Especially if they are indigo kids. As I do with mine, it seems like the kids of today are either really mature and wise for their age or the opposite, always in trouble. IP: Logged |

Give up the relationship with yourselfWhen one is fully conscious, would one still have a need for a relationship? Would a man still feel drawn to a woman? Would a woman still feel incomplele without a man? Enlightened or not, you are either a man or a woman, so on the level of your form identity you not complete. You are one-half of the whole. this incompleteness is felt as male-female attraction, thepull toward the opposite energy polarity, no matter how conscious you are. But in that state of inner connectedness, you feel this pull somwhere on the surface or periphery of your life. Anything that happens to you in that state feels somewhat like that. The whole world seems like waves and ripples on the surface of a vast and deep ocean. You are that ocean and, of course, you are also a ripple, but a ripple that has realized its true identity as the ocean, and compared to that vastness anddepth, the world of waves and ripples is not all that important. This does not mean that you don't relate deeply to other people or to your partner. In fact, you can relate deeply only if you are conscious of being. Coming from being, you are able to focus beyond the veil of form. In being, male and female are one. Your form may continue to have certain needs, but being has none. It is already complete and whole. If those needs are met, that is beautiful, but whether or not they are met makes no difference to your deep inner state. So it is perfectly possible for an enlightened person, if the need for the male or female polarity is not met, to feel a sense of lack or incompleteness on the other level of his or her being, yet at the same time be totally complete, fulfilled, and at peace within.

That is true of the standard hetero and gay/lesbian population, at least "physically", but not the diversities of the rest.

Solane Staryour so apprreciative :-) at work in the young and dynamic place there are only 3 people single: me, Zane (official, just came out Gay boy) and Kate (very quiet, focused girl). Others are not happy and fighting with partners, some are quiet wars, some are bloody ones for decades...Chaos. Rarely a soulmate couple. Newtown is the place of gay community in Sydney. Why i love to walk in Newtown, becuase i dont subscribe for either man or female point of view.Kings street there is my street in the city "lonely" :-) There are no such just a female or male "energy" . NEVER was. its our mind sorts things out this way while heart remains closed.

Yes there is definately male energy and there is definately female energy. Sometimes the combination of the two is balanced in differently in each human. Any balance of male energy and female energy is ok because the person chose to come in to the planet with that balance. I am not saying that that is not ok. Im simply saying there is too much male energy on the planet right now. This has nothing to do with any one individual person.IP: Logged |
