| for many months now most of the time i feel i am not doing anything..i am being done...jobs tasks are done,money is coming,money is spent,hatha yoga classes are given,somehow i reach a place where i am supposed to be present now it is the time to reach another place where i am supposed to be present,the laundry is being done,the dishes are done,.....everything is being done for me and it is so easy...so simple...i am really playing all the time....i am buisy but i am playing...it is a paradox but not really a paradox...i cant really understand for instance my friends and family who keep on telling me that life is so hard...that they do not have enough time....that everyhting is wrong ..that everything should be better.....i really can not relate to that anymore ( off course i used to relate to that big time )....life is so good the way it is...it is la Dolce Vita .. |

just stumbled upon this quote
"As for us, He has appointed the job of permanent unemployment. If he wanted us to work, after all, He would not have created this wine. With a skinfull of this, Sir, would you rush out to commit economics?" ~ Jalaluddin Rumi |

and i was flipping through the Gita
"I do nothing at all" thus would the harmonized knower of Truth think-seeing,eating,touching,smelling,going,sleeping,breathing" (Bhagavad Gita 5/8) |

There is a scene in the movie Blade: Trinity which is my favorite.
Its when Abigail (Jessica Biel) is sitting down holding the body of her murdered friend in her arms. She is crying with tears in her eyes.
Blade (Wesley Snipes) is just standing there emotionless, doing nothing. Blade is half vampire half human.
Blade looks at Abigail and says: "Use it."
(Abigail continues crying)
Blade repeats: "Use it!"
(Abigail still continues crying)
Then Blade shouts: "USE IT!"
(Abigail utters a furious cry filled with remorse and raging anger.)
Love it.

maheswari,
I can totally relate! It's like God is doing stuff through me and it is effortless on my part. As Lord Krishna says in the Gita: "Though always working, such a man is never entangled." |

After reading your post about 'doing nothing' maybe I felt some repression in your words?

When you are overwhelmed, do nothing.
What is your practice routine? You practice Tantra?

That's good.
So how is your experience with solo tantra so far?
There is a polar opposite partner within all of us. Ever felt it?

Yes, there is a partner within us.
Even with solo tantra you will discover it. When the polar opposites begin to unite within, it will feel like a thousand flowers blooming in you.
It will make you complete. Then you will be happy even with (or without) an external partner.

I wanted you to see the paintings. The book is nice too.
Practice solo tantra consistently alongwith your daily meditation.
Enjoy the divine bath in nectar and shower of ecstasy.

So what is the story about this "partner" within us? I'm a man but sometimes I feel there is a woman close to me, or inside or something. I feel like it's me except I am attracted to her and she's nothing like me. It makes me deeply examine my sexuality, and yet I come up with nothing gay, no desire to cross dress or be with men etc., I just can't figure it out.
Often it feels like it is a specific woman, same one every time, perfect although too young for me, someone I haven't met but I feel I have. It's strange - sometimes I feel her touch. 'Bout to drag me over the 'crazy' line sometimes trying to figure it out. . . |

When I joined AYP forum I thought Etherfish was a woman's alias.
In the fourth stage, as Sophia (called Wisdom in the Bible), a man's anima functions as a guide to the inner life, mediating to consciousness the contents of the unconscious. She cooperates in the search for meaning and is the creative muse in an artist's life.
~ The Anima & The Animus

thanks manigma,
There doesn't seem to be any transfer of information or cooperation so far - just love. I'll see if anything changes.
