And further, when I refer to Sex inappropriately when speaking on a thread with you (I don't even think we discuss that Privately, in e-mail!) .. it doesn't ever require a response. Because it's just my thoughts coming out of my head, Damos. I'm really incredibly selfish when I express my thoughts and I realize that. In IRL people know that about me and learn to expect the unexpected. Although I truly don't talk about vaginas with them, you see it's because this is so anonymous (at least I think it is) here that I feel I can say whatever I wish. Sometimes I forget you or anybody else is going to read what I say. I do it for my own pleasure.
Yeah, it's terribly selfish I suppose .. but that's one of the Beauties of Babble.
Take care.

Hey Susan,
There's absolutely no need to apologise. No offence was taken. And I know you well enough to know it was just you being you - and I wouldn't have it any other way. I just didn't want to not respond. Promise I'll try to lighten up a little and just laugh along with you enjoying yourself.
Please don't feel the least bit bad - 'cause that would make me sad. It's a writing board so you should, indeed must say it as you feel it. Wouldn't want you to ever be anything other than uniquely, wonderfully, passionately you.

The more I think about it, the more it's me who should apologise to you. You didn't do anything that you should feel bad about. I reacted to that word for my own reasons and I'm still not even entirely sure why I reacted so strongly. Regardless, it was *my* stuff and nothing that you said or did.
You are right, this board is a place to be entirely selfish and write what we need to write as we need to write it - I surely have at times. It was terribly selfish of me to put my stuff onto your posts.
I sincerely apologise.
Your friend and not so lovely man,
Damos

One of the things I love and appreciate most about our friendship is your being so seemingly at ease and comfortable with things and subjects that I am *so* not. You help me get beyond the ways I've always been, and manage in your own special way to help me to confront and question myself - all of which are good things.
For whatever reason, a chord was struck within me and I obviously need to experience the resonance, the internal disturbance.....
So thank you.

Damien, lover of life and all that is Good in it ... including me, including yourself, including everything in your past that brought you to where you are Right Now ... Don't Worry about this anymore, but think of a c*nt as an expression of Magnificence, you see, it's the Ultimate in Freedom to be able to look at this part of myself that's given me so much Sadness and Sorrow and f*cking strife and the you have it, Baby, maybe I've been there .. and if I haven't I can Guarantee You that I Have in my Mind. There is not one fr*gging thing in Hell's creation (And This Is It, Baby, you better fr*gging believe it .. Believe It.) ... there is not one thing on this planet that has ever happened or ever Will Happen that my mind cannot imagine, and do that Very Well, thank you. So believe me when I say Damos, that to be able to express myself as having a C*nt, and Loving It because it's my most Intimate Self and it's been used, abused, and brought me so much pain and brings me so much, Power and Freedom and Pleasure now .. well. Well, now. Unless you actually Had my exact experience, or something like it, or you were maybe a fool idiot out for his own agenda and you LEERED at it (which is okay if you're young and Ignorant, Old and Ignorant is just Too Much, you know what I meanh?) .. well of course you'd see what I said in some kind of horror or other response directly related to your own experience .. I'm just said for You, sweetie. I wish you the best of Life, you know?

I'm really really sorry, you know, because I said "Old and Ignorant is just too much you know what I mean?" but I wasn't referring to any person at all, nobody and nothing in particular, and I didn't even mean leering like that or even fool idiot, because I throw words around Damos, and I was Never really referring to you or anybody else I know .. I mean, a lot of guys Leer, or Look at us Sexually and it's actually Quite Nice. I Love it. Personally, I love it if I'm also attracted to the person and if I'm Allowed to be too .. if I'm not allowed but I'm really Turned On, Feeling Wonderful and really good but I'm not allowed, then it feels bad, it feels like it's going to hurt me. Which of course, it always does, hahahaha.
Life is just like that sometimes. Sometimes life is a sh*t sandwich, pardon the expression. And yeah, I think I triggered something in myself, too.

Hey now, there's nothing to be sorry for or about Susan, nothing at all. I understood what you meant and that's what's important, that we're talking - creating shared meaning, talking meaningfully (if only to ourselves and each other).
You may well throw words about, but sometimes you really hit the mark - throw a perfect bull's-eye, and maybe that's why this has kinda taken us both by surprise and triggered something for us, in us. I've honestly always looked at the way you write and communicate as a gift, a talent.
I hear you - in so many ways I hear you and I'm sorry that it feels bad, and like it's gonna hurt and that it does sometimes. But sometimes it's that very hurt that lets me know that I'm alive. And you know what else? Sometimes just being, content, happy can be excruciating too.
Seems like it's about time to return to my self imposed exile. You know where I am and that you're always welcome.

You sound like you're gently swishing your way back into your cave, your den, your lair .. your dragon's lair, Damos, dragging the maiden by the hair .. mmmmmm ... hmmm... no, more like a very gentle, bookish sort of a dragon with glasses perched on his nose ... I hope you're enjoying yourself, wherever you are, Dragon Damos ... mmmwah ... I'm so Lonesome, I could Die. Sigh.

Wow! Thank you Susan, that was a really lovely post.
Okay, so how did you know that in Chinese Astrology I am a wooden dragon, and that my absolute favourite song as a kid was Puff the Magic Dragon? Hah, do you remember HR Pufnstuf? Nice memories, thanks for taking me back there.
And as for lairs. I've been called a 'mug-lair' a few times (mostly by my dad and granddad).
Well I did spent Saturday and Sunday night into the wee small hours reading Harry Potter and I did enjoy that a great deal. I'm actually pretty sure that the terms enjoyment and Damos are mutually exculsive. Apart from that, my world seems to grow smaller and more silent day by day. A cave is a pretty good description. I really hope you're enjoying yourself too - miss you my friend.
"I'm so Lonesome, I could Die"...me too. Massive Sigh

We may have discussed the subject in the past, I really don't remember, but in any case you did give me that mental picture very strongly so I guess that's around your aura .. I remember H. R. Puff 'n Stuff all right but none of the storyline as I think I was already a teen when that was out and not too interesting for me .. I think .. honestly I don't remember that part of my life much ... honey, you have got to get out and do stuff as soon as you've finished with your book you need to book yourself into some kind of thing, something where you go someplace and spend a lot of time with a lot of good people and then come home again, you need to have Fun Damos, you need more fun. Find fun somewhere, remember the only way you can progress and be happy is to practice feeling Good. Feel Good.. immerse yourself in loving thoughts about all the things in your life you're grateful for .. really be in the Moment and practice meditating on that, remember to meditate on good things and be good to yourself, eat well, sleep, exercise and siesta, baby.

No Susan, when I finish my book I just need to find another one, or put on a CD and just stay in my cave. I don't belong in the world, especially in the world of people - I have no place there, it's a place where I am neither wanted nor missed. I simply don't belong. Anywhere, to anything, with anyone. It is so much better for everyone concerned if I just stay in my cave -out of sight, out of mind. That way less harm will be done, less harm will be done.

None of us get out of life without doing some harm. We never would have wished that as little children, and in fact if I'd known my future as a small child, I don't know that I would have had the strength to keep living, really .. some of it has been unbelievably nightmarish .. but I'm living in hell with everyone else here ... and my life has been so much better than most lives, if I think in terms of Pain, physical, mental, spiritual and any other-wise. I'm not completely sane all the time, I'm not completely anything, I'm a bit of everything .. are you like that? I think lots of humanity is like that ... we're all part of a whole, and we're all exactly as we're meant to be.
Heavy effing sigh, baby.

Your voice doesn't sound the same to me anymore, and that is probably a really good thing, although it doesn't feel very good. Now your voice sounds peremptory and cold, businesslike, almost.. obscene. As in, the way you were, the way you are, the way you aren't and who is the real you? Have you stood and been counted, have you made a Difference, a difference in the world, a difference that is Good.
I want to do that, so much. It's in my heart.
I want to feel happy. I want to be that. Have the completion in my soul, a soul level complete-ness, something I can count on in my old age, in the elder years which are just there, just There... I can touch them. I can feel their grip, and I won't go joyfully unless I feel that I have a companion, someone to talk to, someone to be with and just Sit. Sit and listen, sit and see ... contemplate, and rejoice at what's been and what is and what will be ...
My heart goes with you .. you know it'll always be there, even though the relationship was a Bad Thing, it was a bad thing I did and I allowed to happen .. but I want it to be good, in the end, for everyone .. it has to be part of moving into a greater state of being, or it meant nothing. And that just isn't so.

Hey Susan,
The words seem to get lost somewhere between my heart and soul and the keyboard, but I wanted you to know I was reading and am still here with you. Just have to hope you get the thoughts I'm sending.
I appreciate you and all that you share with us so much. Things might not appear or feel good at the time or even on reflection - but that doesn't have to mean that nothing 'good' has come out of them.
Your friend,
Damos

I know what you mean about the words getting lost..I journal now more than I ever have, decades went by when I wrote naught a word (huh? sometimes nonsensical stuff just happens...) .. IRL as in heart, mind, and soul, what doesn't make sense now always Does in the end.
The end.
Hey, Damos.
I heart you, you're my friend.
A good friend.
You are still there for me even though I don't know why.. but I seem to deserve it. The universe doesn't give us what we don't deserve, in the end .. if it's good, it's good because we make it so for ourselves. A huge responsibility to take on, because we actually are some of the few people on the planet with the ability to make ourselves happy, and if we don't do that with open hearts and minds, we're making the whole world suffer more. It's a huge never-ending circle, it's a web that ties us All Together whether we like it or not or whether we choose to experience it Now, it's Here, inside each of us. Ciao, I'm heart-ing you.

Apparently Virgina Woolf once said (and a whole lot of other people, too, only she put it into writing and published it and so now we're all supposed to give her credit for it, which isn't wrong in itself, but it feels like every emotion that's been written about is second-hand, somehow, not my own. It isn't right, but without writers what kind of a world would we have? Perhaps one initiated into the present? Perhaps we like living in other worlds, in the past, in a future that hasn't come, yet...
she once said
"You can't think how I depend on you,
and when you're not there
the colour goes out of my life."So, okay. All right. And
It isn't fair, it isn't right.
To need someone so much, to depend on them for completion, wholeness, happiness.
Why can't we give that to ourselves?
We must. Somehow I absolutely have to do that, I can't rely on what isn't there, no wonder I feel so badly.
Who is that person, why can't I find her?
Is it really someone else? Is that happiness?
So confusing.
I am so tired of being, of feeling, alone.

Your life, your relationships, all of this has to heal, and the past too. Heal it, that is the only important thing.

You are a kind man.
You wouldn't do anything to hurt anyone.
I know this.
I'm sure of it.
I'm sorry for all the tangled personality issues.
I wish I were different.
I wish I'd been differently constructed,
made whole to begin with.
Not bits and parts scattered to the four winds.
Who knows what will emerge this time?
I want to be whole.
I want to be happy.
I want to love myself.
I want to love my life, I want to be healed.
And I want everything about this to be healed.
Because all of it was one-sided, only mine. I'm so sorry I had to manipulate ... I can't even begin to understand how bad I was. I can't even begin to comprehend any of the effects of what I've done.
But my soul is telling me, it's not good.
How do I make it good?
How do I expose myself to the highest good for all?
How does one go about revealing what one has done, in moments and times of agony, torture inflicted on a personality level, a personality rent asunder, demolished in shame and neediness.
I don't know how you survived.
I hope you did survive, I hope you did do that.
You looked gaunt not too long ago.
I hope there are roses in your cheeks, now, a spring in your step and a smile in your beautiful brown eyes.
Take care, always.
Susan

Now I can see how hard I was on myself, truly, because what I actually did was pick up a telephone. I didn't sneak, I was open about my needs. I didn't lie, not ever, not knowingly, and sometimes it seemed like a lie but then it always turned out to be true .. which is the nature of a mind like mine, which can go anywhere, but always controlled to the degree I didn't cause physical injury, I didn't go over a certain boundary, a certain line, which was always both physical and psychic. Because no matter what, every individual is self-governing, and no one has the right to intrude on that, only to expound on themselves, to make oneself into a better person ... knowing that I was as deeply flawed as anyone, and even more so, I was so hard on myself, the hardest sin of all was committed by me on myself, and I didn't deserve it, and I don't deserve it now.
I deserve to be happy, whole, and healed.
And I want to know why this doctor, this cw, did not take proper action to recognize my need, and to help me truly, with honesty and forbearance, rather than reject my needs, to address them.
Why?

Hello.
Vibrationally Speaking,
Dear Sir.
The reason "patients" (you *ssh*l*: but don't take this personally, this was you in the past, and the past is changing.... according to so many, the past can be healed, and is being healed, whether you wish it or not, whether you are in vibration with that or not, whether you become aligned or not, matters not .. in the end, you will progress... good luck, dear sir, Dear Sir ...)
the reason that clients, other people, people who come to see you for help with their vibration,
the reason women in particular, begin to dress better,
to look better, to feel more feminine, to be more aware of themselves,
is not because you are such a charmer, is not because you are so sexual yourself, is not because you are so pleased with your life.
It is because you have the ability to vibrate at a higher level.
It is because, when you are in a condition of having consciously evoked unconditional positive regard for that person, you are bringing your own vibration to a much higher than normal level.
It is because your co-worker in good health, your "patient" (you *ssh*l* ... you can also be an angel, and one day, you will see yourself as an unfettered soul, and you will see me that way also, because I Am So.) ... in healing, your co-worker in healing, rises to meet your vibration, and begins to love herself (or himself) because that is the result of Unconditional Positive Regard.
To take that away, to be unable to correspond Why, to be unable to correspond with Your Own Soul, to ask yourself the hardest questions and respond appropriately, is to begin a psychosis in both of you.
I wish you well.
I wish you love, I wish you to feel all the love I have in my heart for you, for the world, for everyone and all of us. I wish you to feel my unconditional positive regard for you,
Dear Therapist.
Dear Sir.
Love,
Susan47 aka my real self.
