      You can also want something temporarily just to fill a sense of lack incompletion. Like a one night stand or a drug for the evening. Not really need to posses. But you lose yourself thou only always temporary. Sleep also is temporary relief from sense of being a person.

    This has been a game changer for me. I started seeing this woman recently who is the most beautiful person I’ve ever met and an incredible company. I noticed I started to become attached but became frightened that she could hurt me as she was too good for me and would probably suss me out as someone who can’t match her. I watched one of Ruperts earlier videos on this topic and it transformed how I relate to her. And she has noticed. She even said how she finds the fact that I am so quietly confident and secure very attractive and inspiring. If anything she’s become a lot needier of me! But that wasn’t the intent of me changing my view of course! Just make sure you don’t forget the first rule either - to express the understanding when you’re with the other person and share laughter and beautiful moments. That’s where the joy comes!

We see that awareness is far larger and more ancient than the space defined by our own mind and body. In a deep sense it is boundless, timeless; it connects us all to one another. We are conscious.

    I'm conflicted when it comes to this. I'm a 34 year old male and i never had a (romantic) relationship. Despite the attraction i feel for women, the idea of being with somebody all the time repels me. I'm an introvert and love to be by myself most of the time, as i can feel deeply fulfilled by myself. Yet, not having been in a relationship gnawed at me, so years ago i tried dating. But then i was even more repelled, because i immediately saw these women had some sort of image in their head that i needed to fulfill and that i myself did the same. So i quit dating and just accepted that i would be alone. Having meaningless sexual relationships do not interest me by the way. Now i see many relationships around me, in which partners tolerate eachother to make it work. Not a few, but all of them. All romantic relationships that i see have this to some extent. And again, it repels me. But still, there is also a feeling that i'm missing out on something. At least, sometimes. Other times i'm completely fine and i'm grateful i'm free and not in a manipulative relationship like that. Can other people relate to this, or am i alone in this?

    • @Daniel-pr4uk
      @Daniel-pr4uk 4 роки тому +3

      Yes, I can totally relate and share your experience and impressions to a very large degree.
      By the way, you might also find it worthwhile to know that certain personality types are much less inclined towards a romantic relationship than others. It is natural and there is nothing wrong with that. Knowing that you might be one of these personality types might lead to some easing of the feeling that something is wrong with oneself for not being like almost everyone else (if that feeling is there).
      And of course, that lack of inclination towards a romantic relationship does NOT mean any deficiency in the capacity to love or any dimishment in the innate love that we are. For example, I am not in a romantic relationship and haven't been for a very long time (not for lack of opportunity but for reasons similar to the ones you mentioned) yet the intensity of love that sometimes comes forward in me just brings me to my knees..
      I know this to be true of others as well who are also not in a romantic relationship.
      In fact, some of the most unloving behaviour I've ever witnessed was expressed through people who were in a romantic relationship. Indeed, almost all romantic relationship that i am aware of are largely unloving and are more about posession, exclusion and immature egoic desires and fears than anything else.

      What was the first message? ‘Love Unconditionally’. It is not a prerequisite for your partner to be on the same path. That’s imposing on them what you need for yourself implying that you ‘need them’ which was the second message. If you require your partner to be on the same path, then you are not loving them unconditionally and you need them to be a certain way, so really you are not on this path either. I’m not criticising, I understand what you are saying, I just feel you are fundamentally missing the point. All of this is very difficult to do, we can only try and practice it.

    There should ideally be a third vow
    “ I am responsible for you”
    The “I don’t need you” is a perfect justification for people with a dismissive avoidants attachment style to not care, to not invest in the relationship, to not stand up for you when you so badly need it.
    We must, in my view, therefore say :
    “Yes, I don’t need you for my happiness, but I will be there for you when you need me, because I can’t see you suffer”
    I think this is an important addition to these vows.

    If there is only consciousness (I do not doubt it), everything without exception must be made of consciousness. In other words, also the "false" identification with the body-mind, must be a creation of consciousness. So... what is the problem to think to be a separate person ? It is consciousness playing the play of separation, with the consequent of suffering.....and it is consciousness which decide to stop or continue this dream.....

    Rupert describes remembering, internalizing, and saying commands as understanding-- which is the assertion of the ego identifying with meanings as opposed to consciously managing meanings and human behaviors.
    Rupert's speaking covers up and displaces the divine feminine with egoic commands, assertions, and assumptions about the meaning of understanding. Ruperts's defense mechanisms indicate that he has conflated the divine feminine with alienation/rejection/abandonment/abuse.
    The divine feminine is the experience and gaze for the internal feedback that reveals the depths beyond the surfaces-- including and not limited to feelings, sensations, emotional reactions, innate interpretations, and developmental needs.
    The divine feminine is the fundamental basis for homeostasis, integrity, awareness, well-being, masculinity, response-ability, connection, workability, reality testing, science, medicine, and the service industry.

    There is only one true love and it's purest form in the world is simple, ungrasping friendship, whether it be between peers, parent and child, or human and pet. Romance, on the other hand, usually involves projecting fantasy and physical attraction, mistakingly associating the spirit with appearance, identifying the "other" as a body and wanting them as such. Let's not fool ourselves by giving romance more meaning than it has, it's a play of Maya.
    To quote the Course in Miracles, "Perhaps you think different kinds of love are possible. Perhaps you think there is a kind of love for this, a kind for that; a way of loving one, another way of loving still another. Love is one. It has no separate parts and no degrees; no kinds nor levels, no divergencies and no distinctions. It is like itself, unchanged throughout. It never alters with a person or a circumstance."

    I don't think the romantic type of love is special. And I am started to think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other, while most platonic best friends remain friends until death.
    Also, most people are pretty much comfortable enough to be naked around someone and have sex with someone that they have no romantic feelings towards. So sex isn't really a thing about romance.
    I think that having a platonic best friend is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse is. Having someone who's like a sibling to you is a lot better than having a romantic partner is. Also, you would more likely be much closer to a person who's like a brother or sister to you than you would be with a partner or spouse.
    People tend to fight with their partner or spouse a lot more than they do with a platonic best friend, and you never fight with your best friend the way you fight with your partner or spouse. Partners and spouses are just temporary. If you break up or divorce them, it's hard to go back to them. With your platonic best friend, you're going to make things work, because they are your best friend, they are your go to partner. It's always easier to make amends with them than it is with a romantic partner or spouse.
    Also, there are a lot of toxic romantic relationships, while there isn't that many toxic platonic relationships. Like an example is that abuse happens a lot in romantic relationships, while abuse is rare in platonic relationships. So there is a lot of abusive romantic relationships, while there is isn't that many abusive platonic relationships.
    Why do you think abusive romantic relationships have a term for them called "domestic violence", while abusive platonic relationships don't have a term for them? It's because abuse in platonic relationships are very rare, while abuse in romantic relationships happens a lot.
    And also, a lot of people cheat on their romantic partners with someone else, while most people won't do stuff like that with their platonic best friends.

      lso, I heard that most people can live a life without romance and can still be happy. But most of the time, if someone doesn't have any platonic friends in their life, it can effect them really bad mentally; much worse than living a life without a romantic partner. In today's world, less people are dating and getting married now, and they seem to be more happy being single rather than being in romantic relationship with someone.
      Also, You're going to have a much deeper spoken understanding and connection with your best friend than you are with a romantic partner or spouse.
      So those are other reasons why romantic love isn't real or special, while platonic love is.

      And also, it seems that fathers usually hate it whenever their daughter gets a boyfriend (even if the boyfriend is a good guy), and it seems that they often hate the idea of their daughter dating, and many fathers seem against the idea of their daughters dating. There are even shirts made for daughters that say "I'M NOT ALLOWED TO EVER DATE" and shirts made for fathers that say "DADS AGAINST DAUGHTERS DATING".
      Brothers also tend to act the same way that fathers do whenever their sister gets a boyfriend (even if the boyfriend is a good guy). It seems brothers (like fathers) hate the idea of their sisters dating.
      So it seems that most fathers don't ever want their daughters to find love and be in a romantic relationship with someone, and it also seems that most brothers don't ever want their sisters to find love and be in a romantic relationship with someone.
