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)

To me it is obvious your relationships are filled with conflict, bias, fear and insecurities be it on the forum or off the forum, in other words rather shallow without any true depths, or genuine affections.

Unlike bruce, whose relationships are all deep and full of affection?  lol.

Well, if bruce is ready to settle for mediocrity who are you to stop him?  Everyone in this world seems to be content with mediocrity, including you, so...

Do you know the woman you are referring to? No, because I don't either.

Well fear is mediocre.  One image thinking it is loving another image is mediocrity.  All what you described is just that, fear, sexy, competetion.  Not love.

No, bruce. Don't you see that others here constantly try to trample on their image of "beans"? To some extent because beans is a mystery to them - a blank slate for the projections of what is in the mind.

That is the test of relationship, to be present enough to watch and see if anything happens in oneself during these minor conversations, to understand where the person is coming from and why they do what they do.

Discussing personal details is fine if that's what one wants to do, but don't judge what you don't understand.

I do understand everything, BECAUSE I DON'T JUDGE ANYTHING.

  That's the point: their image of beans contradicts yours. You see, had you not had an image about yourself you wouldn't have cared about their image of beans.
  You are pointing out only half of the deal: their image of beans. What about your image of beans, uhm?

Fear? You must be insane. I only described facts, not love, not projections into the future-I said 'whatever happens, happens'.

Do you care about their trampling upon their image of beans? You do if are sensitive to that image. And you are sensitive to that image when another image is present.

Who is afraid? Me or her?

  And why did you say she represents mediocrity? Based on what?

Not she, but the whole thing is mediocre.  It smells of fear not just from herside but from your side as well.  The love of images like everyone else.

This is what exactly what you've said even though you might deny.  Maybe you were high on something when you spoke the other day.  Anyways, you think you're the only human(male) who can love anyone but that is all your images of yourself for the fact is you're like any other male here, or esle where seeking security, comfort calling that love, compassion.  But it is just made up of fear like with the majority.

Re: Masters of illusion.

What on earth are you talking, madam? I am not talking of any relationship because I don't know that person, and I'm not making plans in regards to an image. I told you a number of times that I cannot be in love, because where I am love is not, but you won't hear it.
  Love is: not for x or y, but love, period.

Re: Masters of illusion.

Sir, no matter how much you deny it's all there in your posts. I'm not making up anything.  you said it so, that you think it will be another rejection(!!), another ordinary thing in your own words, in other words an image of another image.

I didn't say love. Rejection? Yes, but that indicates neither love, nor relationship.

Re: Masters of illusion.

Exactly, that's why I said it's like any other shoddy affair repeated over and over in human history between a male and a female, the exact drama.  Not that it's bad, but as a matter of fact it's nothing new either and just another mediocre affairs.

But, let me tell ya, that's what you'll have, some shoddy two or five minute sex and then she'd be gone.  Until then you will feel like you're the only one who has it in him to love, and what not.

No need to know Lauren, or Sharon, just knowing you on the forum and how you conduct yourself here is way enough clue as to who or what you're as a humanbeing, and the lack integrity, honesty, and true compassion speaks a lot.  THE END.

Re: Masters of illusion.

It's a fact, the laurens, the sharons, the bruces, the edens, etc, etc are all the same like the rest of the humanity even though they might like to think otherwise...their affairs, their sotires, their thoughts all mediocre.  Just a fact.  Nothing to take personally.  I know you like to think your girl is different so does every guy.  But, the fact is you're all so much alike.
