Well if you want my 3 pesos, I think rather than measuring your attainments at any given point in time, it's a matter of follow through with your intentions, general or specific. (but certainly vague)

Is SEX all men care about??

by butalbee in

this thread is dedicated to all of the horny stud's out there who think with their penis: "big breasts, nice ass, i wanna mound her, blah, blah, blah...." i suppose then this would include ever man in the entire world, as horny as they are, just thinking about one thing and one thing only, sex...not that sex is a bad thing, sex is very nice, except maybe if you're a single jw, then your hand is your personal best friend.

but even so, they still think of sex, they just won't admit to it, or have lost the key to their chastity belt.

when a man see's a nice looking woman, what's the first thing they think about: "wow, wonder what she looks like naked", not "i bet she has a wonderful personality.

Gonads and Strife

by Introspection in

i would rate this at pg-15 or something, for those that really want to know what might be objectionable scroll down the message, but then again if you're that sensitive you probably wouldn't want to see it at all... http://www.frashii.com/weeee.swf.

warning: this music video contains one instance of profanity, as well as flying genitalia although these are taken from anatomy textbooks.

Intro's quote-o-rama

by Introspection in

i guess i've been inspired by stephen's quote threads, so i'm going to start one myself.. not one particular author here, just whatever i can find:.

q: why do you think that people are so protective of their egos?

why is it so hard to let go of one's ego?.

How do you know if you're going to heaven?

by Christiangal in

the only way to go to heaven is believing that jesus christ is god's son, and that he was sent here to earth to die on the cross for our sins.

if you confess him as lord and savior, then and only then, will you be certain that you are going to heaven.

Introspection

Well, I feel like I'm going to repeat myself again even though I haven't posted here in a while, but maybe it'll have a different spin so it won't be completely redundant..

You can emphasize the first part of this question two ways: How do you KNOW or how do YOU know.. (not unlike "How YOU doin?") But seriously, that's kind of what it comes down to.

First of all, I find it interesting that even though the scripture at 1 John 5:13 emphasizes knowing over belief, as I believe one other poster on the thread has at one point, the word belief is what's thrown around for the most part, that should tell you something.

Now as for what "YOU" know, of course that usually mean 'how does one know' such and such, so it is subjective. Most people seem to confuse data with knowledge, and there is generally a lack of awareness as to the assumptions made in their argument, whatever their position on a given issue. Maybe there's a third way to emphasize this, and that is HOW. HOW do you know? I don't care who YOU are, after all HOW do I know when it's just an alias of someone on the internet? But if you break it down as far as what your reasoning is, I can see if it's reasonable. But it does seem that people are very hung up on the YOU, which of course really means ME. So other people don't believe what you believe, isn't that to be expected? Why do we become so emotionally invested with this stuff, is it really about going to heaven or is it about YOU?

In the past when I've discussed topics like religion online I would often run into people who ask "So what are you??" (to which I'd like to reply "I'm Batman" but that's neither here nor there..) But of course they want to identify me in some way, like if I'm a Christian, Buddhist or whatever. Well, I've found that often the most exemplary individuals of these groups are ones that don't identify themselves as such, and it's because they prefer to identify themselves by their behaviors or not at all, because it's not about them as an individual. Secondly, often these individuals will be silent as to questions like this, because after all the answer would have to come from YOU wouldn't it?? So why are we all trying to answer it for other people??

Free therapeutic massage

by Introspection in

as some of you know i've been in school learning massage, and my shiatsu evaluation is coming up so i'm looking for people to practice on.

this work focuses on points along acupuncture meridians, so there isn't as much tissue moving compared to swedish work, but some people do get relaxed enough that they fall asleep.

it's done fully clothed, and although it's traditionally done on the floor i have some hip issues so i've been working with a massage table and have a portable table i can take along.

Introspection

Oh yeah? You just did!

by Introspection in

i got this from someone from a list where a lot of them are experimenting with magnetic cranial stim, (on themselves) actually their stuff is low current with specific waveform patterns, sounds like a better way to go.

from the la times:.

research on depression focuses on brain circuitry.

Introspection

Yeah, it's really all bad. Just like all talk is bad regardless of content and volume.

No I'm not, and for the record this is strictly non-sexual. If you want something more "sensual" you'll probably want swedish esalen work.

Oh yeah, since my evaluation is on the 18th I probably won't care after that so.. If you're interested get a hold of me before then :)
