Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

Re: Cool Quotes.

As for dancing, it's true, I love dance, music, it's in my very breath and blood and am a real good dancer at that.  Everybody who has seen me dancing knows that.   Actually they're simply stunned to be honest.   When you love doing something, are you not really good at it?  And as for looking good, you must see me now, with lots of olive oil smothered on to my face so it doesn't dry up due to the harsh winters.  Not glamorous at all, right.

That is completely false. This is not the truth as far as I am concerned. In fact, if anything, since I have known Pearl, she has downplayed her looks.

Re: Cool Quotes.

When you go back to read the old threads, it can be deceiving in my opinion.

You always have to remember the context.

Things have changed possibly since then. It is all about context.

Life is never static or the same. You never step into the same river twice, it is always new.

Let us look at what is now, rather than focus on the past....

Re: Cool Quotes.

Jeez, SDS, I'm being accused of seducing guys. lol. I'm the last one who goes after anything, anyone and totally suck at all the seduction games k accuses me of, and to tell you the truth I'm a terribly shy person when it comes to all this stuff. I need to actaully work on it so maybe I too can catch a husband like kirsten.  lol.

Re: Cool Quotes.

Bob D, thanks for the discussion. Any time you want to talk about anything K related, what is going on in this forum, I am open. I am very candid and open and honest. And you are too.

Like attracts like, and me and you and Pearl, and others are able to meet and discuss and share at the same level. It is what this forum is intended for and is a great tool when it is used that way.

I also look forward to your discussion with Eden, when and if that happens. He says he likes a good challenge, and I think you can give him a real challenge.

I think shyness in a woman is a beautiful quality.

I never thought of you on here as seducing guys. In fact, if anything, you do not want the attention.

A lot of what Kirsten wrote is just imaginary, illusion, not based on facts.

Hopefully, she can see it for what it is.

You are better off probably anyways, without a husband. It is best to be alone and not lonely and to not have to play all the games that are entailed in marriage.

On the K Ning, a fellow who saw K a few times, likes to tell how everytime he saw K, K would ask him if he was married. And he would say no, I am not, and K would say good. K was not too fond of the institution of marriage. That is a whole another topic, but just throwing that out here...

I meant, was referring to the fact that you were digging up old threads. That is what I meant by the past.

I do not personally remember the event either of you are referring to, so I have no idea about what happened in regards to signpost.

I do not read all the threads here, and only pick and choose what I read.

And by the way Kirsten, I like you and am not picking on you, I am just suggesting that I hope you see certain things, that you look, just like I look at what you say in regards to me.

Good night Kirsten, nice chatting with you.

I have to go eat dinner now, it is that time.

Of course inquiry can go on whether married or single, but I was just sharing that little story with Pearl about K on marriage since she is not on K Ning.

It is a big topic Kirsten, and I dont know the answers in regards to it, I am still looking, investigating in regards to marriage and relationships.

Hope you have a good night and that tomorrow is a new, wonderful day for you.... A fresh, new day.....

Re: Cool Quotes.

Absolutely SDS.  I was only joking about the marriage.  You know the world is sick and do you think any sane person would go to find someone from it to make a life with and for what?  For money, for security, for companionship.  No thanks.  I"ll figure out ways to provide for my child and myself and even though there are plenty of men where I live who show interest to go out, I often keep turning it down due to absolutely no interest in any of it.  Now eden might say, I'm asexual, but who cares what I am, or should be.

Eden buddy, I am going out for awhile but will be back later, and I hope I pass your screening process and am allowed to discuss more with you. Looking forward to it. Till then, later.....

No screening process here. It's just a simple fact that as long as one is busy defending and re-enforcing a separate self, no communion or deep communication is possible. 

Until your body grows beyond that point, all discussions will just repeat the same duality and fragmentation and all the same ego non-sense.

So from what I get from this, as long as my body does not grow beyond the point it is at, no discussion is possible between us.

Discussion does not interest me in the slightest. There are plenty of people here who are interested in that however so if that is what you are after, there is an infinite supply.

Now you are presuming what I might say? Hmm.  As a matter of fact I wouldn't refer to you as asexual even if you swore a vow of celibacy and wore a metal chastity belt. I know you better than that.

pearl wrote:

I care. Anyone who is at all open to you and feeling into you is going to care whether or not you are giving your deepest gifts to the world.  It is only someone who is not open to you and not feeling your heart that wont care one bit.

The same reason we all give less than total openness. The same reason we all have given less than our deepest gifts.

Have a wonderful night. I am off to the hot tub and pool soon myself. Hoping for another fabulous evening by the stars and the moon.

I was out there last night just taking in the moon for hours sitting in the hot tub, at first by myself and then later with two ladies from Canada. We had a nice chat and even heard the coyotes howl a few times while in there.

Then I went inside to dry off and I sit in the indoor hot tub and just stick my feet in and dry off. And I just sit in silence and let the day go by, let all the tensions and agitations go. There is some moments of silence and space.

Thanks for the kind words, as always, they mean a lot and I sense your sincerity. I am learning more and more about communion and true meeting of two people, and it is nice that we are able to meet here, truly.

I was kidding, sds. I don't see discussion as an obligation. I am totally fine with some people wanting to discuss, some wanting to make statements, some poking, some wanting to be silent. To each their style. It is all part of the growth of the human species.

Always a delight to know about your day.  Sounds cool sitting by the pool and watching the stars, ahhh.  I just got home after a wonderful jog in the snow and all clean and freshened up.  Should see me now all clean and shiny with my freshly showered black hair all dangling...and flowinf freely.  Oh no now, kirsten is going to get at me for seducing you now.  I couldn't stop laughing at how she sounded like a typical step mother earlier accusing me of seducing of guys.   "how dare you talk to guys?" Totally uncool and presumptuous.  Imagine if everyone were so closed and shut out and uptight like her how boring the world would be, but it seems to me she cannot fathom how anyone could be different than her.  Very typical of her.

I'm gonna have some dinner and do some bit of work around the house.  Bye for now, SDS.
