That's your perception of monogamy. In reality you don't have to pretend anything. You have to choose to only honour one person (if that is your choice) or not.
Oh God Yes!! There's a time for speaking and a time for silence.
It gets better and better. But when a "dark night of the soul" moment happens, its intensity is equal with how bright the light was while I could perceive its brightness. I guess total absence of duality (perfect balance) is not a permanent state for me yet...
Yes!! Everything you describe I've seen over the last 14 years since first meeting people involved in its "study"!! The misinterpreting what was meant to "fit" their own ego lead agenda was probably the more uncomfortable one to witness... And yes I agree, the "walk" of ACIM is a rather saintly one. I wasn't prepared to be saintly enough
All the words you are using to explain what love represents for you describe a mental process. The thing is, love can't be felt with the mind. The mind is not adequate to represent "love".
Again you are describing a mental process. Love is eternal because love just is. You can't give or take away love although you may choose to be or not in the presence of someone. I can see/feel people at soul level. Sometimes the divinity of their soul is not matched by their human "nature". That would be such a time when in spite of the deep love beyond humanness, I might choose to not be in the same space as that person.
Apart from the experience I describe near the beginning of this thread, another occasion when I came close to feeling in every cell of my body what unconditional love is, was several years ago when my daughter was very unwell and doing some very "strange" things (some not so cool) and my body (not my mind) suddenly just filled with just pure love for her unconditionally. Translated into "mind words" it meant that there was nothing that my daughter needed to do or not do, say or not say, for me to feel this practically bone melting awesome love for her.
I totally "resisted" input from ACIM ... may be I knew too many people involved with it who were not "walking their talk" ... not sure what it has been... may be it doesn't vibrate the same as my own vibration ... may be I was happy plugging directly into source and getting insights that related perfectly to where I was on my self-healing journey layer after layer...
I get what you mean though... I have always resisted following any guru or written path as experienced and limited by someone else's spiritual journey. I always resisted A Course in Miracles although I know many many peoole who follow 'its teachings' BUT on many occasions, talking with some of them, some of the spiritual 'insights' I received while meditating or creating an artwork actually coincided with some of the contents of the readings they were working on...
My learning as mostly taken the shape of an out of the ordinary thing happening or discovering something that pushes boundaries as I know them or have an out of the ordinary experience or I receive an insight, then I investigate and find out all sorts of information to support my experience or discovery and confirm I'm not loosing my marbles after all
Ohhh gosh yes!!! I recognise that process!!! Have been breathing and living it for about 11 years of being mostly with myself. And it's only recently that I can instantly recognise if it's a fast tracking release or a wallowing in all the emotions before releasing.
I often think how clever we are at making such amazing illusions!!
Peel one layer and there's another, and another, and another ...
I recently started just releasing stuff/old stories of which the content no longer serve me without even bothering to revisit the fear/guilt/need for forgiveness!! It's instantaneous relief and joy!
An ellipsis is suggestive yanno. I was hoping on some residue. The only residue would be the one you welcome because you would be aware ...
I understand. There are times that I could use this but doesn't everyone. For sure!
My thoughts on this are at odds with yours. I think a general, well let's call it a shield, works as does a sentry. Usually I am pretty vulnerable otherwise and live in trust that source is with me and everything comes to me for my highest good.
I think I misunderstood what you meant when you mentioned a "specific person" and replied accordingly. General protection "bubble" or shield works well, but it's all suggestive. I used to when I was becoming truly aware of all these "beyond" the human boundaries as I we learn from society and felt a bit overwhelmed by it all.
Now, I no longer use shielding because I no longer live in fear. It's empowering and vulnerable at the same time. As you say. Trusting in the divine/source being (one) with us is more powerful than any shielding put into place out of fear. Gratitude is also extremely powerful as a vibration ...
I absolutely would never do anything to anyone that would leave any sort of residue ...
Yes! Isn't that amazing. Healing can be sent in the same way. The thing about love is that it can be very "mental" in which case it can translate as fondness energetically but won't translate as the divine energy unless one is vibrating it.
Yes. Yet to turn off communication with a specific person one would have to be aware of their intend before they carried out what could be perceived as a violation.
If you were having a relationship with the person you very much could apply for permission. You could even have a tantric ecstatic experience together from a distance.
As for beating somebody up from a distance, it's very possible to inflict pain, or discomfort or make somebody sick from a distance. Permission is unlikely to be sought and the person doing it should know better and be more in control of their thoughts and projections ...
This reminds me of an awareness which dawn on me recently about fantasies. It occurred to me that for people who are extremely sensitive, if someone is having a fantasy about them (without permission), it could feel like an energetic violation... and even if they don't perceive it as such, it could still leave a sort of feeling out of sorts residue...
No!! Not fake at all!! As real as the reality you perceive which may not be perceived by anyone else as it's created by yourself. Fake is "pretend". An illusion is not pretending to be anything other than what it is. Do you follow me?

long time no see!!!
