Therefore, any “we” that does not revere and serve the us and the me are demonic/evil/doomed

– Are individuals just outcroppings from the collective unconscious, like peaks in a mountain range?

– “Who is wise?
He that learns from every man;
for it is said, ‘From all my teachers I gat understanding’.
Who is mighty?
He that subdues his nature;
for it is said, ‘He that is slow to anger, and he that ruleth his spirit, is better than he that taketh a city’.”
– Ethics of the Fathers (Judaism)
One cannot learn humility & self-control, in isolation from others!
Can I learn from any person I come across?

– I need an anti-reflective & unbreakable mobile/tablet/laptop screen

– “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

– We must accept & love ourselves & each other as we are.
We must try to understand ourselves & each other for who we really are.
Each person is free to live the way they wish. Therfore, what we do for ourselves & each other can & must be done only voluntarily.
We can & must freely express our mind to each other, but the other is free to respond from their unique nature & position.
We must learn to deal with our own desires & expectations of ourselves & each other in alignment with the previous principles.

– The erotic lives of attached (in an intimate/committed relationship) people

What is your sexual rhythm?

E.g. Cum twice a week – once with partner & once by yourself (autoeroticism – with or without porn, hookup, etc.). Never cum more than once continuously – keep the fire alive, always!

WOW! This happiness routine is exciting, isn’t it?? 😃😇
