Therapy can help.

Heh heh. The memory hole? Do I have access to that? Wowser. SO much I could do...

Spiffingness ! thankyou, j.fachao:)

ah, this is why you are being criticised... I wonder what you are thinking is practically helpful or inspiring about this post of yours, in this context. Do you believe it is the most useful thing that you have to contribute, in an area where people are looking to extend themselves beyond their usual parameters and put a toe into a transpersonal water? Wasnt it you saying earlier about teachers giving teachings when the pupils are ready.... Who needs to know here that you dont 'bother' with theisms? You, the theisms, or us, or you.. Are you beginning to inhabit the role assigned for you by some here at tb's?

tb 'relationship' post of the decade, right there. where's the 'applause' emoticon?

Hi Gerard. Do you see a little triangle on the lower left side of each post which say says "report" on it?

You quite impressive, then. Anyone here like to write up their own 'experience' of emptiness, attempt a description of, in retrospect? I like personal accounts of things.

heh heh heh. heh. heh. heh. heh. What is personality? Who would 'you' be, in relation to 'it'?

thanks for being such a good mod, Apech.

guys.. Firefox with Adblock!

I think is a great question, Hardyg.

Hi Hardyg, I havent read that piece you have mentioned. The idea as you know is that we are all on the same energetic web, that we all contribute to the field, that we can all make a difference. It wouldnt be possible to practice Ho'oponopono sincerely and also be a megalomaniac.. the will to power would ebb away as the feelings of compassion rise. You dont sound as though you are on a rant, but that you are thinking about the feelings of powerlessness that we feel and how some claim power in massive amounts and get drunk with it... Wannabe world rulers who need a mystical justification for it..yes.. atrocious sophistry... we cant 'hide' ideas though, in case they be misappropriated, once they are in the public domain.. we simply have to live in the 'reality' we create together, as best we can. The homeless person would be more likely to be helped by an Ho'oponopono practitioner, who has cultivated loving kindness, than just be told "it's your fault you are homeless'... the latter response is a 'head' one from someone who has swallowed whole a concept of 'self - responsibility' and not digested it. The practitioner would have a more evolved heart which would prompt her/him to hold out a hand to a fellow human on the web, on their way. It is interesting about someone else doing the healing.. so many healers say they cannot heal, they can only facilitate a situation in which someone can choose to heal.. ime this is true. Those determined to stay sick, will hold on tight to their patterning. But this isnt a rant either.. I'd love to believe in long term healing being done which overcomes resistances.

This is the important point. I think this is why we get so many males turning up at tb and posting about how to change their sexual energy, and so many more than ever post, just browsing here, working on how to change their sexual energy. And this is what the Karezza site is about too. People know their sexuality needs something refreshing and clearing, but they arent sure what.. If tb can help articulate this, to voice it, then this is for the good of all. One of the best psychotherapeutic retorts to a sexually dysfunctional client that I ever came across was "Your sexuality is not soup".. the point being that everything gets chucked into 'sexuality' ie anger, frustration, thwarted needs, psychological complexes, need for regression.... sexuality is heedlessly given all of these feelings to carry, and it buckles under the strain and loses its purity and revivifying nature, and becomes tainted to the extreme levels that we know about today with porn addiction being so much the norm. When 'sex' becomes nothing more than a vehicle for relieving circular neuroses the real life force is left languishing, the whole being is out of harmony and deeply unhappy. Hence the compensatory obsessions.

In what sense does it signify to seek to make a distinction "it is self" or "it is other" ? You experience a level of energy and intervention and phenomena which is not voluntarily yours or recognised by your psyche as containing your signature or pertaining to your will or wishes. It creates distress, it is a saboteur. There are methods of shifting this, many methods, stemming from many different cultures and belief systems. All of them work to shift energy. Prayer: contacting soul and spirit combined and beseeching for aid. Psychotherapy, to heal the mind, ie that which determines in what way we manifest. Feng Shui to redirect energy in our environment so that we are not moving in muddy soup. Shamanic practices to collect negative energy and expel it or cleanse it, or restore lost energy. The psychological approach to energy manifestations.... is that your mind is not separate from anything you experience, if you free your mind, your soul and spirit and your energy field in its entirety will shift, this may be what is needed to shake off negative energy, whether it is your own projection, your own karma, or something attached to you from without. Free your mind, free yourself. And you can do this via Ho'oponopono and the other suggestions given to you,which are wholistic suggestions, working on you in your entirety, your karma, your psyche, your environment, your soul, your spirit.

bodyoflight: I think it is true to say that students seek the very teachers that outreach their current position,and inspire them, and when they exceed them they know they have shifted and will move on,to find a teacher that has outstripped them and encourage them onward and upward again. I wouldnt give two shakes of piss ( new phrase for me, de_paradise, thanks...) for a teacher who I didnt feel had a subtlety of grasp that exceeded mine,and I reckon this is the usual position. Finding a teacher that fits is an education in itself.

Yes, I know what you mean. (I'm sorry if I ever write like that or come across like that.) I wouldnt like it either. I cant stand being patronised by people I see as closed minded, either. I reckon that the 'sole authority' complex is easy to fall into, and it's very helpful of you to draw it to our attention. It is nauseating when it is smug and condescending, particularly. There has to be some place of ground on which one can stand and say what one has found to be true, though.

Lets speak hypothetically and assume a worst case scenario : that all women are mentally ill and get sexually aroused by men being violent and aggressive. What's the next step? Should we talk about it a lot and keep saying "OH NOES!!!"? I dont mean to be dominant here, oh hold on, yes, I do... because I'm wondering what the point of this endless chat is. Is the purpose of it to turn men off women and encourage them to turn gay or be celibate or just masturbate a lot? Suppose everyone on the board agreed with you, Non, and said, "YES!! my girlfriend makes me watch dogfights as foreplay!!!" What then? You want to start a peace awareness campaign for womens sexuality, so that women can get hot for men who are sitting quietly reading or lying on the floor playing with the cat? or what?!

This explains why Eddie Izzard is so loved by women. It's his violent coloured lipstick.
