if considering your vulnerability seems trivial,
consider your invulnerability, created by self
imposed barriers or social norms of conduct.
personaly, i stretch these barriers to the max,
and as jeremy pointed out, to such an extreme
level of open honesty that it is uncomfortable.
maybe this violates needs for emotional security.
i stretch my vulnerability to explore the limits
of my freedom. i am a lover of truth and freedom.
barriers to me create separation. separation
is an illusion, if you truly embrace the law of one.
so, open sharing of honest feelings for me are
a harmonious expression of the law of one.
what happens when you stretch yourself, put
yourself in scary vulnerable positions?
you simply have to try it to believe it. the
trepidation you face in doing this will test
your fearlessness, and force transformation when
you are brought to your knees by it. when you
become fearless, more love enters your life.
i think this forum suffers from over seriousness
and is inflicted with inhibition. i put myself
in goofy places as a model of possibility. to
show what is possible, in hopes that people will
open up and share, connect and add meaning to
their otherwise very boring lives.
it is a source of fullfillment to connect with
others. as a wanderer who is largely a shy loner
with few friends, this connection has happened
to me on occasion, it was beautiful and i feel
enriched by it.
but is this the right place for friendship?
largely, this is information exchange dealing
with learning facts and understanding concepts.
what place do feelings of connection and
friendship have here?
well over the last nine months, i've found my
body feeds back these feelings. i know when i've
cracked a good joke because i feel the giggles
long after mine are gone. i know when i've
popped an insepid curse because i feel the
cold chills long after i've posted. are they
associated? i have too much experience to say
this is random coincidence. is there any
science to study here? how do you study the
science of feelings? i know when my post has
been put on hold, because i feel an absence of
feelings, then after the delay and my post finally
makes it to the group, i get my feedback,
i feel the giggles or the chills or even possibly
some delightful bliss.
all this dietary regime that we go through is
to help us feel our feelings, to get in touch
with our body. all the overeating and overdrinking
and over tving numbs the body. when you've
dropped all the numbs, then you begin to feel.
when you begin to feel, then you can begin to
describe your feelings and possibly articulate
them. our culture puts little value on feelings.
most men drown their feelings with football and
potatoe chips.
this forum is another example. what value are
feelings here? are they an expression of our
spirituality? is there any accomodation for
feelings here? i would say not much. that as long
as people keep up their invulnerability armor
on and don't show who they really are, that the
feelings are going to remain inhibited and
the potential for an incredible interconnection
between us is stiffled.
what good is interconnection? i would say it
allows communication between us on a higher plane,
potential for greater fullfilment and increased
harmony within your life.
trade-offs, the choice is yours.
i've made my choice.
i've chosen to value feelings, to acknowledge
them as a means of higher level communication,
and i have been enriched by them.
okay jeremy, is this enough boring ranting?
if you are bored, bring down your barriers,
share how evil i am about attacking you and
breaking our synergy and ruining our chance
of connecting, then let's truly experience
interconnection. you know, like oil and water.
snoring,
pat
