No real tips for how to get past it. One thing that has worked for me that I read in books is to acknowledge the feeling but tell yourself that you'll deal with it later, for right now there are more important things to do. |

By policy this thread should go in f96. I think that forum should be given a more prominent place so people can find it though. |
|
Where is it? I looked around and don't see f96. |
|
On the forums page, its under Religion/Spirituality under Extended Discussions. There isn't much posted there though, in part because its so hard to find. Or type Inner Sanctum into your browser. |

Your sensitivity to energy is impressive. You may want to look into reading some books... |

I see your point. Although lately I keep thinking that it would be presumtious of me to decide for others what's good for them, so if somebody wants to do something for enjoyment, why not. We all live a short life, and it's the preference that counts. After all, if your goal is pretty much impossible to grasp, why would you go advising others to make it theirs? And who's better off, somebody who lived a good life never contemplating it, or somebody who tried to go for it and failed? |
|
I'm not going point by point here, because I'm on my phone.... |
|
I'm as far from wanting to defend random people I don't know as possible, but |
|
Please click on the links below, more techniques under investigation to come soon...
^This. Haha. |

Rawr!
Here's one example of what I mean by deception. Mary Baker Eddy founded Christian Science, which was a fairly big New Age movement in its day, though its not usually called New Age now since it has been 150 years already. She taught that seeking medical attention was a grave error, and that all illness could be cured through faith. Naturally Christian Science practitioners were there to help with that, for a specified amount of 'gift' money per session. And so Mary Baker Eddy made her fortune. In later years she herself had serious health issues which were not cured by her practice, and which were kept secret to avoid undermining her credibility. You might say that she wasn't intentionally deceiving people, because she believed her teaching. I say she was deceiving them, because she intentionally hid facts that would inform people's judgments about her teaching. Moreover her theology was geared towards preying on frightened people, at a grave cost to a great many of them. How she represented that to herself, whether she formed deceptive partitions within her own mind or not, doesn't fundamentally change what she was doing. |

I don't disagree with anything you say here. Partially a matter of different emphasis, partially you're saying what I was trying to say. |
|
Ah, okay. I see what you were getting at now. Absorptive Meditation vs Mindfulness meditation? |
|
Rawr!
I agree that she was deceiving people, unless she believed that despite all facts she still thought that her healing worked. That's something we cannot know. |
|
This may seem like an odd response, but you were actually onto something. You may not want to stop this, if you can figure out what it is for. |

Physically, the information needed for the creation of a human body takes almost no energy at all. Spiritually, there is clearly energy involved in the sense that potential destiny is in play, but I don't see that it follows that a scarce resource is being 'lost' during sex. Physical metaphors for having and not having something may be misleading in this context? Can you distinguish losing something during sex from feeling like you're losing something because you've conditioned yourself to think about it that way? I don't think the teachings of yogis can be trusted on this subject, they've been wrong about too many other things. |
