Hi. I am interested in hearing from anybody who feels they are in a good loving relationship. What do you think is the key to a successful relationship? How do you balance alone and together time?
Looking forward to some insights.
 
Much love

Hi - just wondering if anybody can help....i have a question. when you see that someone you know is being full of themselves and thinking everybody around them is bad...what do you do? do you just shut up and listen to them 'hating' the world or do you say something. And if you say something...what can you say? hey all that you see in others, is in you too!
 
Wacko

i really like what you say about the Native Americans.
everything is about money it seems these days...and maybe that's why God gives us hippies, bums, travelers, saddhus etc....to remind us that ownership is an illusion and actually can stop you from reaching your true state of freedom. Geek

I do not think there would be chaos if we had no borders, it would be that giant melting pot that was sung about in the 60s, but we are so far removed from a world without borders that it is difficult to comprehend. When settlers first arrived in the US and started carving up the land between themselves, the Native Americans didn't comprehend owning the land, putting up fences, they likened it to putting fences in the sky. The whole notion of ownership of Nature was alien to them and now the whole planet to us is a commodity. When it comes to people, it is hard to remember that we are all the same and that there is no separation, when nationality, patriotism, borders and passports define who we are. Do you still get riled up when your home football team are playing? ]]> Sun, 28 Mar 2010 08:14:59 +0000 http://englishtemp.vsdserver.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47&PID=154#154 The Forum : borders http://englishtemp.vsdserver.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47&PID=153#153 Author: nicola

yes borders i think are our biggest problem to living as one world. It's all about being separate, isn't it? however maybe we also need borders in order to know what's what. Would there be chaos if we had no borders...?

Tomorrow I have to go to a border - cross it - have a cup of tea and then come back in again - its a visa requirement... not just on a bureacratical level, but are borders the strangest thing that mankind has created?]]> Tue, 23 Mar 2010 11:31:36 +0000 http://englishtemp.vsdserver.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47&PID=152#152 The Forum : Respect? http://englishtemp.vsdserver.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46&PID=151#151 Author: victoria

One other thing... being respectful of yourself. I think this is harder sometimes than being compassionate towards others - being compassionate towards yourself. If you take a step back and listen to the running commentary in your mind, you will notice how disrespectful you are of yourself, what awful things you think of yourself, what amazing ways we limit ourselves, with our 'shoulds', 'shouldnts', 'cant's' etc.

One thing I really want to start doing for myself is changing the stuck record in my mind.
What do y'all think?
 
peace

There is an interesting quote from Yogi Bhajan - master of Kundalini Yoga - he says 'If you can't see God in all, You can't see God at all.' this is a hard maxim to live by - because as often as I want to surrender to compassion, equally someone is pushing my buttons at the same time. Awareness is the key. Catching those moments when you are disrespectful of yourself, of others. Catching those times when you get triggered - most times, the words that someone else delivers are a reflection of one of our fears and that is why we react. Another of Yogi Bhajan's mantras is to learn to act, not react. We need to learn to come from a place of pure action - then we are not affected by someone wanting to provoke or upset us. We see the story for what it is, rather than getting caught up in it.

I agree with you. That if we give respect we will receive respect and with respect, we take better care of the planet. However i  have a question...how do you deal with people who are not respectful to you? How do you find compassion for those who want to provoke or upset you? Smile
