when something annoys me, i usually try to look at the reason why... so if i was with someone who was always talking about their ex's, i would wonder if i do that too, perhaps without thinking that i am doing it...

if not, and it seems one-sided, then i am getting closer to the reason why it annoys me... sounds like maybe a trust issue... do i trust her?

this might open a conversation along the lines of, i notice that you talk about your past relationships quite a bit, why do you think that is? (ducks)

but bottom line is as the ladies have already put so eloquently, no communication - no growth. i cannot change her perception of me, but i can try to understand where i fit in the scheme of things... what makes us different... special?

good luck!

bless you!

When i do not see joy in my pain, i tend to cast blame, which can lead to dilusions of grandeur... however, when i point one finger at someone or something, there are always three pointing back at me.

i seek perspective

Do you have a picture of it? sorry, couldn't resist

i for one have been out of my mind... also at times no God to be found, hole in my soul ... out of body is completely plausible, in fact i have experienced it myself.

enter true self! a great exploration, but maybe a different thread?

good stuff :)

in my experience, the practice of astral projection has assisted with opening my mind to this spiritual principle.

i don't practice it anymore, although do believe that it's purposefulness has been largely replaced by the advent of the internet... at least to the point where mass consciousness is now able to focus and attain outside information and guidance without leaving one's home...

arbitrary out-of-body remains to me a phenomena which i understand to be akin to near death... i no experience there, but that's a "yet"!

i make a mean breakfast pie.... might just try givin it some MO HEAT with a little of that hot sauce.....

Tis never better to forget and lose, than to have not forgotten at all...

almost no one in Austin is from texas originally....

I love Austin! Was there on business a few months ago, and what you say is true... and the music never stops!!!

My daughter is in college now, but i remember the wonderful growth and strengthened bond that would happen as a result of time spent apart ... the payoff is there for you both.. best wishes!

embrace the pain... there is growth in there
