I have great news! Your thoughts are helping me/us. We remain together as a couple and will both navigate the loss of his mother’s health and be there to comfort her. And I will be there also to comfort him. He will stay at my place less frequently, and spending more time in his studio at his parents house. This new direction, awareness and opening came about through prayer, meditation, and through the support of uplifting spirits like you and Deepak. Namaste.

Friendships have great merits. Imagine yourself being without him, how does this affect you? How does he feel about you? Is your attraction for each other dichotomous? Deep commitments can overcome superficial problems. Can you have a meaningful conversation with him without accusations; IOW exchange consciousness? A Males awareness of your and their feelings differs in emotion. You may wish to shout it from the roof top while it never even occurs to him. It does not mean that he does not love you as much as you love him.

There may be an attraction that is initially sexual between two humans. If you start living together, this cannot endure for that long and be the fulfillment of the relationship. At some point, sexual/emotional attraction needs to deepen and the transcendental dimension needs to become a part of the relationship for it to deepen. If you have had an attraction for each other, then find certain qualities in him that complement certain qualities in yourself. Some relationships may start as purely form-based (physical), and then the other dimension comes in after a while. Look at the other person, be still within yourself, and block out the negative thoughts or emotions associated with the other person. If you can do that for a few moments, perhaps you may discover if that person is yours truly. Can you be there for him during his mother’s sickness? Can you be there for him with his financial roller coaster? Examine yourself to see if the complementary traits are ultimately fulfilling. Perhaps after a few problems, and perhaps getting close to a breakup, then suddenly there is a deepening and then you are able to bring in space and be there for him effortlessly, if it supposed to be!

Whether can feel heart the person with which it is not familiar? What to do if reason refuses to trust, but feelings prevail. How to realize that there is other world about which i didn’t know? Excuse me, if i will seem strange, but for quite some time now to me there are inexplicable things. I feel that who that calls me and that waits from me for actions. I don’t know as it to axplain, but it occurs. I seem to me have got stuck between two worlds. Almost two years i live with it. Tried to struggle, but became even worse. And the main thing- i have strongly changed for this period and have understood that i am able to love. Believe, i quite adult and adequate person. What to me to do? I have nobody about it to tell, me won’t understand. But i feel also it really. P.S. Write through the translator, excuse me. P.P.S. I know His name, many years ago i loved Him, but we aren’t familiar.

I tried but couldn’t get through a paragraph without scratching my head, then becoming critical of you, believing that you were taking advantage of emotionally and spiritually hungry people by offering up gibberish and profiting from it.

Fast forward a few years. In those years I have read a few mind expanding books that have brought me to a place where I am now able to understand and appreciate what you are teaching.

I am sorry that I was so critical of you and now see how my judgments of your work, held me back. But rather than be disappointed in myself for being so closed minded, I appreciate that period as a necessary step in my development.

Please accept my apology and keep contributing to improving our world.

Sincerely,
D Robinson

Your thoughtful words helped me go on a blissful journey today of self-discovery. During my walk I reconnected with our Beloved, and asked for awareness for the feelings in my heart. Our conversation led to greater calm, clarity and peace. You’re an absolute gem! Namaste.

On my life journey thus far, I believe your wisdom is the deepest and wisest and truest I’ve come across. I also have this sense about you that you are the most peaceful person I know. Beyond an angel. I could spend hours with you learning and growing. However, I am currently most interested in knowing if there are many humans who give to you on an emotional, mental, and spiritual level.
