I so loved this post and a glimpse of teen Alexys...such a gift you have given us.

I do believe in self love- ALOT!
Only when we love and can trust ourselves because we know we are good , caring people whom we would not want to change, lest we come to dislike ourselves, can we then have anything to offer anyone else.

Alexys,

"An excellent suggestion." - *bowing*...thank you!

"Yes, the basis of philosophy is to question our existence and how we can contribute to the flow of life. Most people just repeat someone else's philosophy and adopt it as their own, instead of taking the philosophy and adding to it's depth." - very well said! It is true...it's funny, the other day I was telling a relative that it feels like everything has been done by someone else in the past, and that people are comfortable with it and decided not to generate decent thoughts, not to give birth to new forms of philosophy...cause those who have been seen as Masters could not have possibly answered all the questions in the world. Plus, we have evolved and so has our thought...therefore we need new philosophical lines (although respecting its basics, the inheritance left by the Masters, of course).

Truly Philosophical Cheers

Max,

"I guess that is the issue with extremes...take things out of proportion. I would suggest the Appolonian measure to Intellectuals: just be intellectual, and sometimes don't be (come down your pedestal of intellect and join the less intellected ones)."

An excellent suggestion.

"Questioning one's place in society is not normal but also the basis of philosophy, isn't it?"

Yes, the basis of philosophy is to question our existence and how we can contribute to the flow of life. Most people just repeat someone else's philosophy and adopt it as their own, instead of taking the philosophy and adding to it's depth.

Philosophical Cheers.

2008-09-24T11:05:00.000-07:00

Lady A,

"She still is proud and often regales me with the stories." - :D blessed be the motherly mothers of this world!

"I am sending you a heart hug. (Still blushing.)" - sweet hug, thanks :D!

"I thought I heard other Souls breathing while I was introspecting. Sigh. I was never alone. Correction - we are never alone." - LOL I hope I didn't bother you too much ;D! No, we are never ever alone *bowing*!

"I suppose it is normal, but extremely intellectual people are too busy deducing arguments and dissecting comparative analysis to recognize that questioning one's place in society is normal. (but I wouldn't know?)" - true, so true *Max contemplating the sky before her*! I guess that is the issue with extremes...take things out of proportion. I would suggest the Appolonian measure to Intellectuals: just be intellectual, and sometimes don't be (come down your pedestal of intellect and join the less intellected ones). Questioning one's place in society is not normal but also the basis of philosophy, isn't it?

"At times, my left brain doesn't know what my right brain is doing." - lol I hear you....

"Yes. Bravo!" - *High 5*

"Then it HAS to be true. So it has been written, so it shall be done." - Amen!

"Thank you." - you are welcome, Lady A :D!

Impeccable Soul Cheers

Max,

"Amazing! I can imagine her proud face...

2008-09-24T09:55:00.000-07:00

Max,

"Amazing! I can imagine her proud face (at least if I were a mom and my kid would do it; I'd be proud at his/her intelligence)!"

She still is proud and often regales me with the stories.

"I'll hug you instead *hug*! You look nice when you blush ;D!"

I am sending you a heart hug. (Still blushing.)

"I was spying on you: sorry *angel face*! lol ;)...I think most of us were...."

I thought I heard other Souls breathing while I was introspecting. Sigh. I was never alone. Correction - we are never alone.

"I know exactly what you mean, girl! But isn't it normal? I think that for extremely intellectual people it is normal.."

I suppose it is normal, but extremely intellectual people are too busy deducing arguments and dissecting comparative analysis to recognize that questioning one's place in society is normal. (but I wouldn't know?)
At times, my left brain doesn't know what my right brain is doing.

"I also believe that humans, when becoming adults, should keep a certain amount of innocence...it's not good to lose all the advantages of innocence (otherwise we become cynical and gloomy).

Yes. Bravo!

"We need our Yang, if we're Yin; and our Yin if we're Yang...balance, I'd say..."

Exactly!

"...you are right! In fact you reminded me of my Reiki Master, who used to tell us exactly the same thing..."

Then it HAS to be true. So it has been written, so it shall be done.

"And I thank God everyday for a certain friend "over miles and miles of fiber optics" :D!"

Thank you.

Heart Hug Cheers!

2008-09-24T08:45:00.000-07:00

Alexys,

"My mother would love you too. I can just see you two talking, looking at photos, drinking tea, talking some more, hearing the stories about her kids, talking....." - girl, believe it or not: it is my kind of program :)!

"You know I used to play a trick on my mother. She had a tendency to show photos to guests who would visit and I used to exchange all the photos of myself with magazine photos - animals - food - different families. It surprised her each time! Just to see the laughter on her face was worth it." - LOL LOL you did that? Amazing! I can imagine her proud face (at least if I were a mom and my kid would do it; I'd be proud at his/her intelligence)!

"Aw shucks. No need to bow. (Reliving the teenage moment of praise.) [Blushing]" - ok, I won't bow...I'll hug you instead *hug*! You look nice when you blush ;D!

"Excellent analysis of a teenage mind." - thank you, darling *bowing*!

"Were you spying on me? The only way you could empathize was if you were there - and think you were." - Well...I wasn't going to tell you but...yeah, I was spying on you: sorry *angel face*! lol ;)...I think most of us were....

"I agree, it was a rather naive attempt at deciphering the Rubiks Cube of love. My heart was deeply ensconced in my intellect. Experience helped me to pry it loose, although it tries to fake me out and get back in there. :D" - I know exactly what you mean, girl! But isn't it normal? I think that for extremely intellectual people it is normal...

"Thanks. That is so sweet. Innocence is always delicious and parts of me are still refreshingly so." - you are most welcome :D! Merci, madame *bowing*! You do well...I also believe that humans, when becoming adults, should keep a certain amount of innocence...it's not good to lose all the advantages of innocence (otherwise we become cynical and gloomy).

"I must say that if I were to grade your analysis, I would give you high marks for being on target and in line with the introspective debate. Kudos!" - oh my...thank you *bowing*!

"If we can't love ourselves, then we can't love anyone else." - absolutely!!

"We move together in lightness and darkness, through tunnels, valleys, ebb and flow - and when we do it together, we learn together, we grow together. In the push and pull of another Soul, we learn that alignment is of the utmost to stay on track." - magnificent description of the journey of a couple on earth *clap clap clap*! We need our Yang, if we're Yin; and our Yin if we're Yang...balance, I'd say...

"There are so many ways to spread love. Just going outside of oneself is essentially spreading love to others. When we don't think of ourselves, that is spreading love." - you are right! In fact you reminded me of my Reiki Master, who used to tell us exactly the same thing...

"No one ever died from smiling too much. I wouldn't be surprised if it preserved life." - LOL no, I don't think that anyone has ever died of smiling! Hmmm...that is a good theory...I wonder if there is any study on this.

"Thanks. It's phenomenal how one can cultivate friendship over miles and miles of fiber optics. :D" - don't mention it! So, so true, darling :D! And I thank God everyday for a certain friend "over miles and miles of fiber optics" :D!

"Max, that is very heartfelt. Thank you darling. I am truly moved. I can tell you that the admiration is mutual. :D" - it is! You are welcome! *hug*! Thank you *bowing*!

Fiber Optics friendship Cheers

2008-09-23T21:13:00.000-07:00

Simon,
I was too shy to snog so I was resigned to introspection. I wouldn't say that snogging was a gender thing more than it was raging hormones and experiencing the tender graces of a teenager. (Besides I would never judge you based on gender.)

I think at that age you were probably entrenched in participating in love rather than "thinking" about it. (like me)

I am holding a mirror to you now Simon, go on say it. Say 'I love you.'

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Wow - you were mature for a teen! At that age, I j...

2008-09-23T15:28:00.000-07:00

Wow - you were mature for a teen! At that age, I just wanted a snog...
("snog": "full-on kissing" Brit. slang)

Yes, I know, I guess it's a gender thing...

And yes, I think you were right. Our relationship with our self is the most important thing. This isn't selfishness. It's just that in order to give love to others, we have to love ourselves first. We need to *have* love in order to give it away.

Sue Ann at 'Always Embraces Always' suggests we look at ourselves in the mirror and say "I love you" seven times morning and night. Then see what happens.

I keep forgetting to do this. I wonder why.

2008-09-23T14:10:00.000-07:00

Nathan,
It IS fascinating to travel back to those thoughts we had as children. I agree, the change is amazing.

Hi Max,

"I love your mom and she reminds me...

2008-09-23T14:08:00.000-07:00

Hi Max,

"I love your mom and she reminds me of mine (mine also goes back to the box of the past and goes down the memory lane, making me go through everything with her...photo albums, baby pics...the lot lol - personally, I find it cute! And it is one more chance to bond with my dearest mom)!"

My mother would love you too. I can just see you two talking, looking at photos, drinking tea, talking some more, hearing the stories about her kids, talking.....

You know I used to play a trick on my mother. She had a tendency to show photos to guests who would visit and I used to exchange all the photos of myself with magazine photos - animals - food - different families. It surprised her each time! Just to see the laughter on her face was worth it.

"Second: girl, you were talented (even at early age)! I am impressed *bowing*!"

Aw shucks. No need to bow. (Reliving the teenage moment of praise.) [Blushing]

Excellent analysis of a teenage mind.

"But your text, specifically, told me a story of a teen that felt in love and that love was ephemeral (yet she debated: who care if it ended? Who said that we have to love somebody? But what happened? I thought it was real)."

Were you spying on me? The only way you could empathize was if you were there - and think you were.

I agree, it was a rather naive attempt at deciphering the Rubiks Cube of love. My heart was deeply ensconced in my intellect. Experience helped me to pry it loose, although it tries to fake me out and get back in there. :D

"This text offerend a delicious innocence of thought that overwhelmed me."

Thanks. That is so sweet. Innocence is always delicious and parts of me are still refreshingly so.

I must say that if I were to grade your analysis, I would give you high marks for being on target and in line with the introspective debate. Kudos!

"...love of/for oneself is important if we are to love somebody else (unless you love yourself, you cannot...or rather...you won't know how to love another being)."

You've hit the nail on the head. If we can't love ourselves, then we can't love anyone else.

"Nevertheless it is not sufficient to us, since it is an incomplete state of being. To be complete we need our counterpart, we need the one that completes us to the uttmost, even though the completion process is anything but simple and easy."

Yes, we need that mirror image of another. We move together in lightness and darkness, through tunnels, valleys, ebb and flow - and when we do it together, we learn together, we grow together. In the push and pull of another Soul, we learn that alignment is of the utmost to stay on track.

There are so many ways to spread love. Just going outside of oneself is essentially spreading love to others. When we don't think of ourselves, that is spreading love.

"...through a smile, through a kind word..."

I agree. There is so much a smile can do. No one ever died from smiling too much. I wouldn't be surprised if it preserved life.

"...through posts like yours, through friendship (true ones), through humanity."

Thanks. It's phenomenal how one can cultivate friendship over miles and miles of fiber optics. :D

"This was an excellent post, darling; and I can say that I admire you more now than I already did :D!"

Max, that is very heartfelt. Thank you darling. I am truly moved. I can tell you that the admiration is mutual. :D

Spreading Love Cheers

I agree that it behooves us to participate in the process of another person's heart. That's the only way that we find what is in our own heart.

Wow, I always love to go through my old writings. I think the earliest piece of mine that I still have is from when I was seven years old. It really is amazing to look back at early works and see how you have developed and changed over the years.

Hey Alexys,

First of all: I love your mom a...

2008-09-23T10:44:00.000-07:00

Hey Alexys,

First of all: I love your mom and she reminds me of mine (mine also goes back to the box of the past and goes down the memory lane, making me go through everything with her...photo albums, baby pics...the lot lol - personally, I find it cute! And it is one more chance to bond with my dearest mom)!

Second: girl, you were talented (even at early age)! I am impressed *bowing*!
Now let me expose what I thought while reading your beautiful letter - teenagers always go through that phase where they debate themselves if whether they should engage in relationships or not; if they will ever find the right person or not; having relationships in their age is for people who do not cultivate their intellect and so need an escape; will they ever be happy; will they ever engage in a decent cause; do they belong or not; where do we come from and where are we going etc...
But your text, specifically, told me a story of a teen that felt in love and that love was ephemeral (yet she debated: who care if it ended? Who said that we have to love somebody? But what happened? I thought it was real). At the same time it offered a brilliant, though naive, analysis on the human soul and doubts.
This text offerend a delicious innocence of thought that overwhelmed me...

Now, your questions....

"Is love of oneself sufficient or does it have to be put to the test by letting it stand side by side with someone's else?" - love of/for oneself is important if we are to love somebody else (unless you love yourself, you cannot...or rather...you won't know how to love another being). Nevertheless it is not sufficient to us, since it is an incomplete state of being. To be complete we need our counterpart, we need the one that completes us to the uttmost, even though the completion process is anything but simple and easy. Yes, the couple will fight; yes, the couple will have ups and downs however when true love commands the couple's life...the two gain an understanding of existence and co-existence that they never thought they could.

"Are the contents of the heart meant for oneself or are they meant to be distributed?" - the contents of the heart are definitely meant to be distributed. We were not meant to be alone (love); Love was not meant to be kept to ourselves...it was meant to be spread! And there are many ways of doing it: through a smile, through a kind word, through posts like yours, through friendship (true ones), through humanity.
All other contents of the heart (apart from love and Love) are also to be spread around: generosity, kindness, warmth...

This was an excellent post, darling; and I can say that I admire you more now than I already did :D!

Ultimate relationship Cheers

2008-09-23T04:38:00.000-07:00

Hi Alexys!

This post of yours way back in your teens is soul-enriching as it is you are now.

You're right. Love for oneself is invigorating and do have its own rewards but endorsing one's heart to someone else is practising true love.

The contents of the heart is meant for oneself so one could nourish and maintain it for how could we distribute its content to others if we don't even know how to love our own selves.

Miruh,
Since my ninja skills were just developing, I am afraid I cannot take the credit. My hands were guided by the ninja gods. I was just the vehicle in which they flowed.

I am with you on that. The ultimate relationship is the one in which you exercise your heart with another. That is the true test.

Liara,
It is an incredible journey. What a nice friend and a wonderful gift. Did you feel like you had stepped into a time warp. It almost feels like your Soul is looking down on your body.

It IS priceless. A mother's wisdom no doubt. Thanks for sharing your story.
