I get that noise too.

Priapism would possibly be a bit of a problem, but generally speaking I agree with you.

She probably didnt think you almost picked her up. She probably thought she was just talking to another human being.

You are spot on, alwayson. When the timing is off and three is no chemistry, its just a complete pain in the ego.

I dont understand this, haha! Who doesnt want a good looking and intelligent man? I never met a single woman or single gay man who doesnt want one, haha!

Sometimes when people say stuff like this it sounds sorta vicarious satisfaction - y, doesnt it. Or is that just me.

Right on. Working out is a good way to draw the attention of hot women.

There's something about a very good looking man that gives terrific pleasure to the heart , just like a rose bush or a matisse painting. It gives pleasure to all kinds of places, it depends on the aesthetic responsiveness of the person involved. People enjoy a well toned ass and muscular arms on a man, even if he has a face a bit like a potato. I love peonies and lilac bushes also, but then I do love flowers. One of things that is most attractive about a person is their smile.

Oh I agree, overly materialistic men are very annoying, finding one who isnt that way is very hard and so many of them just deride spirituality and turn on the tv to watch football and crack open a beer.

Good Looking men are obviously very much appreciated by women who like good looking men, though. I think this is undeniable, to be frank.

Yes, good point. I have only just 'discovered' evil as a useful concept, so I find it helpful to see it this way. It's a new one one on me, and gives me a simpler framework than previous ones, which at this point is liberating. I am finding it very helpful and interesting to get more intimately acquainted with fundamentals like truth and good, also. I guess I am the product of a secular and haphazard liberal education, so things that carry baggage for some, dont do so for me. I'd like not to be into self flagellation. I think evil likes that stuff.

I mean that what is contracted, what has shut down, doesnt go away. It stays. And it is yin. It is cold, it is death in life. It is always with us. Can we see it? Do we look at it? Or is strinking cold up through us, through our contact with this planet and with ourselves. Is it what we stand on, while we look at what is at eye level. That which we take for granted. You can be as 'up' as you like, but if underneath the up is contraction.... eh. I think it is the low point, yes.. contraction to get further contracted... would be lower, I guess, or just harder and more than half in love with easeful death.

Gotcha! here's a mistake for you to enjoy!

There is a lot of energy tied up in contraction. Its not so much riding the down, its about locating the down which is like floorboards that you stand on and dont notice anymore because it underlies the up. Talking massive renovation.

Lowering the tone is self limiting and evil. My contraction, is all the times I have not been able to reach out with heart, and instead have retreated into a closed position. The contraction becomes ossified within the body and mind, bodymind, and .. well... have you ever tried to defrost a freezer which has been left for far too long without attention? I keep drinking hot tea.

Trust you to lower the tone.

oh Jetsun, yes of course. Perfect, thankyou. I was thinking of the evil of many things like pollution, politics, disallowing personal freedom, and hoping it was self limiting in a way I hadnt perceived. Yes, my own contraction and self limitingness is evil, in the sense that it is not doing anything toward expansion and love. (I am sick of my own evil, thats for sure.)

Cosmic Resonance theory /Ganying I just found this article I had bookmarked and thought I'd add it to this thread for anyone interested. http://isites.harvard.edu/fs/docs/icb.topic46659.files/Cosmic_Resonance_Theory.htm

Evil is self limiting, it naturally contracts... does anyone here feel they can expand on this point, have any experience of this principle in action? Would love to ground the insight.

It will be properly fun when you start realising your cognitive mistakes. Yee ha!

No, actually, it is that there are different energies. Some energy can work on anyone, and others not so. It is a trap we fall into , because we use the word 'energy'.. which is a big word but has no distinctions signified within it. Highly charged martial yang energy can make anyone fall to the floor, more refined vibrational energy requires a resonance for impact.
