It's important to take time for yourself as well as with others. Striking the right balance is the trick. :shrug:

I don't think I could be asexual without being a hermit. :shrug:

Im kind of a loner myself. I just feel drained when I am round people all day, so I spend the far majority of my time by myself. I don't want to think of myself as a misanthropist; Im just a distant lover of humankind. :smile:

i could probably be an asexual hermit but i'd have to load my consciousness and subconsciousness with a lot of thoughts similar to what miekbar is expressing and reinforce them enough to be fuel for my asceticism

sitting in my mountain, cranky, shaking fist,

DAMN YOU HOOLIGANS AND YOUR TEENAGE WAYS

stay away from my rock!

i mean its like, some people like us ask WHY too much to the point where was ask the stupid question, why live?

well

most people that have lots of sex, drink lots of beers, and you know, listen to lots of music, and watch lots of tv, and read lots of trivial magazines, and talk about trucks, and go to sports games and such

well and then they go to school and they work all day doing things that make their brain numb

and maybe take ritalin or something or an SSRI or something

don't really have a lot of whys they just coast

coasting is righteous and i like to coast, but damned if i'll coast where the man wants me to, i want to coast in waters that are great to surf in with good companions

i mean mike what would be your utopia, if you could recreate Earth would you still be human, and have other humans, but fill the mind with things other than dream Ferarri Barbie ads?

cause i'll tell you sex is evil

i mean having sex isn't evil really

its just sitting in your room wanting to have sex, and looking at porn, and thinking about it, and the craving

the catering to the hollow

now that fucking hurts man i've roasted myself over that spit a good long time and i'm sick of it

only a few things i want or wanted in life, great sex with someone i loved, letting me explore tantra

and to find lsd or shrooms or something or else

sit in an ashram with a holy man, where i can touch his feet and it gets me high on God and omniscience ya know

i don't fit in people watch football and all i see is frilly weird ass helments and a ritual that makes no sense other than to get everyone to bark like dogs at a tv screen

but fuck

don't th$ye have more fun than us old timers set in our ways ?

i mean i love to fucking yell, but not really at a tv more like just have a yelling contest and like yell POPSICLE or something really loud you know

than to watch men chase balls its never been me
when i was wee

a little one

i went into a trance and saw the collective karma of all football and sports and it disturbed me because it was so

polarly dependent upon LOSING that it created a lot of suffering in this world

cuase don't you know

the proles

they would save the world if they cared enough to have a non violent revolution, just to like take one million or two

and sit in the streets of dc

sayin

we don't like war

wearin business suits so we looked normal

but they wanna talk about the Penix L50, the truck big enough for any man's ego you know......

but i mean take a look that these thoughts are in no way healthy and only contribute to paranoid isolation it is better to play the game like a Jedi, sitting in a bar, its not your thing, never has been, but you keep your cool and play along

maybe? or is there a good place for us to do more cool things like be naked and dance and paint our bodies and take drugs and have tantric sex and cuddle parties?

Yeah, that's true, it can be.  But it's also a pretty deep philosophical question.  For what reason do we remain alive?  Enlightenment?  Procreation?  Gummy bears?  I think asking questions like that can get the ball rolling... I guess as long as you aren't attached to the answers you come up with. :tongue:

edit: I misread "if" as "it's"... so, my reply is: I agree. :laugh:

hmmmm okay

I am curious about the new vicarious video, shedding light on this subject....... only relevant to clones of Him like mua

because i see mushroom trips avatar and its beautiful, and my window's view doesn't really look like that, and i wonder.... why?

see here is the thing, if everyone does what they love, we stop living in hell.

i said this to some old folks in my psych class once and they said "say that again!" i was like "cool" and said it again lol

its true of course, what if we built ..... for love ? instead of.... for money?

so the question is good, yeah...... because if you have a good answer then "i want something good to die for, to make it beautiful to live"

:heart:Mikebart. 
I know how you feel and i am there plenty during the day. I see these piping hot liquid shit thoughts coming out of people and they way they embrace themselves and others is horrid...but then i ask, why does this disgust me?

Look inside for the reason that begets your peace and begins the journey back to your inner child, the one which didnt distinguish between disgust and enticement, lush and moist.Looking externally is a part of the solution, but internally it is where your disgust stems and where the little child was left so long ago, to futile notions of 'responsibility' and good/bad, at around the age of 12.


Could it be that i am disgusted because it reminds me of what scars and wounds are left rotting, when i turn my back on them in disgust, when i flee to be a hermit in my mind.

This is not a question.

Learning to embrace others with a sickness they do not know they create and are oblivious to having, is a wonderful feeling. Remember, the experience of those things which are enticing to our existence, lies in the amount of disgust you experience. Ying and yang - Mofo and dojo. lol

I find open, tantric sex with the person I love far too enjoyable to ever desire to be asexual. But people are different, and there is nothing inherently wrong with either ways of living. Try it, maybe after a few years you will learn things and wish to return, in a new light, to society and sexual interaction.
