  there isn't one and that's a really good thing.

  Art without rules is not art. It's called therapy.

  they cannot be suppressed without their acquiescene.

  Would it make the ladies feel better if you ran mic's, gave talks, went on sheparding call,etc. Then you could experience what the men experience. Complete emasculation by some old farts back in New York.

  Here's how I see it. Any cult worth its salt always follows some basic principles. It gives the MASCULINE aspect of the group something to DO and the FEMININE aspect of the group something to LOVE. So, for instance, some people get into the cult for MASCULINE reasons, such as DIRECTION, STRUCTURE, and a sense of MISSION. Some come in for FEMININE reasons such as COMMUNITY, FALLING IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE, MAKING FRIENDS, etc. Just examples. When someone tries to leave, it's usually the FEMININE aspect of the cult that makes it extremely difficult. Leaving family, friends, lovers, and enitire social structures is the hardest thing to do in my opinion. The biggest fallout from the MASCULINE after leaving is feeling like there is no PURPOSE or STRUCTURE to your life. The Watchtower or any cults primary goal is to disarm a persons MASCULINE essence in order to place their MISSION in it's place (sell watchtowers, yay!!) They have to keep the MASCULINE busy and in a state of URGENCY. When they do this, they then have access to the FEMININE because the MASCULINE did not protect it. The FEMININE is the juice of life. The radiance of life. It's pure rocket fuel. The Watchtower feeds on this stuff.

  When it comes to relationships, if the woman is playing the feminine role and the man is playing the masculine role, and they are both in the Borg, then the man has already let the woman down. He has failed to protect her as well as himself. He is living an inauthentic life, living out the mission of a religious corporation. He has first failed himself and then his woman. The woman senses this and must eventually activate her masculinity and protect her own authentic self. She will go through different phases of anger, resentment, ect, which is good. Why settle for a man who isn't authentically a MAN. The danger is that she will lose her femininity and basically just embody the masculine principle out of fear of being "weak", not realizing the true power of the feminine. She will then attract passive and weak men and ask, "Where are all the good men?"

  As far as men go, the MASCULINE tends to be MISSION oriented. When a man discovers his true MISSION and PURPOSE, he is no longer intimidated or needy of women. Nobody can tell him what his MISSION is. It can't be found in a 192 page book. It must be discovered internally. Only then is he able to have a relationship with a woman. Older and wiser cultures knew this. This was the basis for all male initiations. Most were done at puberty before any romantic feelings were stirred in the child. He had to be seperated from his mother and all that she embodied (comfort, love, beauty), and forced to discover that within himself. Within this discovery lied his mission as well as his masculinity. He then could return and have a realionship with a woman if he chose to.

  The MASCULINE's job is to set the FEMININE free. As this plays out in relationships, if a man holds space for the woman to express herself, the good and the bad, then her true FEMININITY comes out. If he hasn't come to understand his own emotions and hold space for them, he will not be able to handle hers. Most men bury themselves in someone elses mission to avoid their own emotions and their lovers emotions.

  All this stuff can be switched around if a woman has a dominant MASCULINE essence and a man has a dominant FEMININE essence or for gay couples.

  The Most bizzare & Scariest thing happened to me last night

  hello everybody.. i wanted to share something with you all about something that happened to me last night.. i usually get these things called sleep paralysis, which is where you are alseep and you wake up and you think, oh ill get up now or soemthing, so you go to get up and you cant.. your actually paralysed.

  but the strange thign is your awake....?

  its very very hard to explain.

  I had to come out of lurking to respond to this thread. This stuff used to happen to me all the time. If you want it to stop, rub the bottom of your feet at the accupunture point K1 before you go to sleep. Press on it with your thumb until you feel a heart beat or pulse in it. Google it to find the point. Do it every night. Also, put your attention in your kidneys before falling asleep. Not kidding.

  If you want it to get a whole lot more fun, put your attention in your stomach (actually the space between your stomach and pancreas) before you go to sleep and prepare to explore the astral universe. Just don't freak out. Relax and try to turn your fear into curiosity. Being afraid causes you to stay at a lower vibration and you can't leave your body and check out what's happening in the other dimensions. Then you end up staying in the creepy part. The astral world is based on emotions so it reflects back to you what you are feeling. Don't be suprised if you end up in an orgy at some point. Sexual energy rises up at night.

  Do it long enough and you can really control it. If you can't do it without being afraid, then stop doing it. If you can relax and enjoy it then you will pop out of the body and you will see what look like diamonds or stars and then you are well on your way. It will blow your mind and you'll realize you are not your body. You will never fear death again. Don't worry about all the people who say it's all in your mind. They never experienced what you are experiencing. Happy travels and try not to pick up any Astral STDs.

  Oh yeah, the strange noises are no big deal. Usually a strong buzzing in the ears. It will go away after you pop out of the body.

  I loved the Swiss Miss Tapioca and Vanilla Puddings!!! Still to this day if I get really stressed out, I go find some Swiss Miss and partially freeze them and spend the evening, just me and my pudding. Pathetic, I know but it is my drug of choice. The only good thing to come out of the conventions.

  "Having done MA for over 30 years, including Chen Taiji and many sub-sytems that really heavily on Qigong I can honestly tell you, from my experience, it is not even CLOSE to being the samething."

  Then you haven't been studying under a master.

  Here's my take. Find a good Qigong/Taoist teacher. They have this stuff down to a science if you find "the real deal" The warmth and cooling, etc is what the Taoist call Qi. It's actually easy to experience if you find the right teacher. They use Qi to release old "software" and reprogram new "software" inside us. The practicioner does this consciously. What Born Againers are feeling is the release of the old "programming" and there is a feeling of newness. Unfortunately, when done in ignorance, when the cup is empty, they fill it with their new "programming" which may or may not be healthy for the individual. The group energy replaces the old and it feels good too. Sort of like instant "love bombing" in cult language. It's at this point the tentacles are put in, if the new programming is unhealthy. Out of the frying pan into the fire, no?

  Becoming an Athiest and feeling this feeling is because the old idea of "God" has been purged. It's great! However, the new collective Athiest belief system may come in and simply be a flip side to the old. A rebellion. It needs the "other" to exist. I'm not saying this is bad. It certainly can be better than many religious belief systems. If it works, use it!

  The true Taoists teach ( and I would argue all original spiritual teachings) that we can program ourselves new beliefs to the mind/body that reflect our true nature. This true nature they call Virtue. Virtue is who we really are. It just needs to be discovered.

  Just my opinion,

  and may you all have peace!.

  i would like to understand, please, if someone cal help me:.

  if, when you come out of "her," the most glaring and obvious of things that with you is anger, hatred, intolerance, irritability, deceit, loose conduct (and i mean the really loose, not just the typical) and things like these... such that when you communicate with others, including but not necessarily those still in "her"... these things a manifest... are you proving "her" right... that life is "better" on the inside, at least as far as "they" can "see" it?.

  It's all a mind control game. Haven't you figured that out yet? The Borg tells you that you will be unhappy when you leave because....guess what.....YOU WILL! You just had your soul raped for x amount of years. Actually, the more you wake up and you become aware of what exactly happened, you will feel all sorts of emotions, positive and negative, but mostly negative for a while. Realizing you have been made captive and your family still is will anger you. You will feel pain. You will try to deal with that pain, sometimes through "loose conduct". You have lost your support system. You have to find strength within. This takes time. And by the way, who told you that anger, bitterness, resentment are wrong emotions? Anger helps you set boundaries in life. We were told that anger was wrong so they could strip our boundaries and bugger us emotionally and spiritually.

  I am more suspicious of the person who is happy and content right after they leave. You will usually find they are distracting themselves with work, a new belief system or group, or some other mission in life.

  When you get back to your real Self, not the fake self that was made to conform out of fear, then you will find peace, it just takes a little time.

  You are still playing by their rules. You are confusing outcome with process. Go a little deeper.

  finding the lord...versus finding yourself

  by Aussie Oz in

  2. friends

  i have noted many who are ex jw but now are 'born again' or have found the 'lord' telling how wonderful life is now.... i mean no disrespect to those who claim this, and are happy, i can understand i guess, leaving the wt but still wanting to serve 'god' but i just can't come at it.

  we all know the story... life sucked, left the watchtower, found jesus, lifes great again.... what about my life?

  some of you already know i am not christian and in fact are more anti god/religion than ever.. i was depressed, couldn't live up to the rules, faded out fast, left wife, lost kids, lost every single friend of 30 years, lost every material thing save the clothes on my back, lonely hermit for two years, adultery, disfellowshipped, crazy girl friend, one night stands... you might say life went down the toilet and i needed saving from myself.. wrong!.
