freedom wrote:OK, guys, let's consider that I was a BK for a long time, so after that 'enlightening' experience that changed my life forever (eternally), I am still looking for a nice, honest , fun, sexy, happy, healthy relationship...but in no way with values such as : man with money, macho, protective, yes, I agree man has this role but not necessarily ... I don't wear high heels and mini skirts (I used to) and I can still attract a few good men !!

bro neo wrote:Was Brahma Baba a sexual anorexic? I think if he was analyzed by an objective sex therapist the therapist would think so. Sexual anorexics are people who hate sex. They tend to be people who are sometimes dominated by sexual desires and then go through phases of extreme hate for anything and everything sexual.

When someone comes into our peripheral vision that looks anything like the image we have burned in our brain of a rescuer, that’s it. This is our soul mate. It is the one we have been looking for our whole life. Our long lost and now found reason for living. Our knight is shinning armor, or perfect princess.
Sadly though, the more we get to know about this person the more the real person conflicts with our image of this person and we blame the person for not being perfect (as compared to our ideal)
alladin wrote:Hi, Neo. So, in a way, u are suggesting that self deception and infatuation play a major, if not the only role in "falling in love"?
This would explain to a great extent why love often turns into struggles. I hope the remedy is not ascetism and detachment. What do you think? If you appeal to reason, that sounds a bit like the opposite of a natural feeling of love - or am I too romantic and idealistic? Is there a wholesome, healthy way of loving?
Is any unconditional love possible, that can take us beyond the stage of infatuation with an image and enable us to use this energy for loving the real soul, the way he or she is, with defects and qualities, hopefully respecting each other's freedom and empowering qualities and potentials that are latent in our "higher self"?
7. Love will be a committed, thoughtful decision rather than a feeling by which we are overwhelmed.
