Hi,

Dear Velcrow,

I agree with you that expectation sometimes gets in the way of us connecting with others but on the other side of the medal, affirmation can give one the needed inspiration to proceed on the road one is travelling.

You know, the universe and all living beings in it are constantly breathing in and breathing out, which means contracting and letting go again.

I would say, the way we are "dancing" includes love, which to me means list of virtually everything. So either way, it is not good, not bad, but just the way we are and just the way life is.

To love life is just a matter of breathing in and breathing out.

Hey there Mr. Ripper
The world is very tasty already.
Did you mean to say we should engage in tongue licking with every interaction? Now that would be tasty.

My sparks fly from the waves very fingertips

Jaded spirituality is how I found your very friendly friend who glows red with her very friendly friends.

Tasty indeed

I had a Spiritual Teacher share we all have matching junk that transcends into matching allurement. When remembering your lovers in this life were your enemies in your past life, as your enemies were your lovers in your past life.. you become a little more neutral and at the same time let the sparks fly. And of course Jesus knew that when he turned the carts over in the Temple, he was letting his blood be the chariots of God. love patty

Expectation of expectation, expectation at every turn,

God knows what my mother expected when she carried me. Could it have been damper?

There's a joy in knowing hearts can fully open to resonance. No harm in a bit of trial and error?

Hello all,
Thank you for these thoughts Velcro Ripper.
I'm thinking about flattery, and also criticism, how being affected by either one I send myself on a spiral, upward or downward, it doesn't matter, because either way I've removed myself from the present.

But for me at this point in my journey, the truth is, a truly honest compliment warms my heart, and I smile. And a truly honest critique opens my eyes, and my mouth, and I hurt.

And I guess in either instance, I leave the present moment. But I also look at myself a little closer and ask myself what is the truth about me. And then I silently, or openly, thank my fan or my critic for being a window to my soul.

And in the end, I feel more connected, to that person, to myself, to everything.

the mystery continues...

:)

love,
Sharon

But...
maybe the difference between what you're saying and what I just said is...

going into the interaction already looking for the massage vs. entering the interaction, in the moment, without expectation, then 'boom', you get a massage. Whether gentle and pleasant or harsh and painful, you then choose what to do with it.

what do you think?

Ed,

Rest assured 100% That god has never met you and knows absoloutly nothing of you.

And He won't..... Untill you introduce yourself.

Whoops, God said it was diaper not damper.

You'd think He would be loyal to BT, Simeon, and our gracious Queen whom He saved for later ;)

Thanks for your thoughtful comments folks. Yes Sharon, you got it...it is about truly being in the present, and stepping outside of "programs" of any sort. This is freedom. I'm all for affirmations - I love affirming people, and I love being affirmed, and we should do more of it, freely and generously. But an affirmation that is given because we're expecting it has no meaning. In relationships, we often lose our "freshness" because we fall into patterns of expectation. When we can drop these programs, and really open our hearts to each other and the present moment, then we really can savour life, then we can truly experience love...
