Deal with the devil

Migrated topic.

--who.??..ME??--

Pharma. 100 copy, 100 BC tinc. a mere 100 yellow fragrant spice. 3 datura seeds.

I pass into oblivion and my consciousness shifts between the here and the behind seven times, the last four by my will. I was shown inexplicable order. I was shown the seams in my reality and the effortless manner by which the entity I was in contact with could manipulate them. I was offered what I want more than anything else in this universe; the true love I shared with my beloved, I was given the opportunity to pull the strings behind the scenes and move space and time to my will. During this time I experienced the most exquisite and expansive bliss I have ever known. The equivalent of 1,024 full body orgasms to prove the power and word of the alien intelligence.

But at what price.


Brief history: My love and I have struggled direly of late. Our paths incongruent, our goals misaligned. We are pushing through but the future is never more than a mood away.


I was offered the easy way out. A deal with the Devil, if you will. An end to the greatest suffering I have known in this lifetime. Suffering equaled only by the deep love I feel for this woman.


I declined.


I am locked in these mere three dimensions for a reason and while I may use the spice and the spice may use me and I might enjoy windowshopping the future of my choice. I cannot and will not write a check that my ass cannot cash.

I choose the suffering. I will never take the easy road again. I am reminded it is the journey, not the destination, that is the crux of life. The lessons learned here are more valuable than I might ever know.

If ascension is possible in this lifetime, it is most certainly attainable by the stairs. I just don't trust elevators...





Namaste,

Espiridion
 
Your poetry!, at present, is spot on for the experience-reading/seeking mind.

Not to mention, some pretty damn(ed):twisted: great wisdom in their TOO!

Thanks for sharing...

Listen, it sounds to me like you are very much in love with her but she is not that in love you anymore. A woman who has 100% interest level or even 85% in her man doesn't allow "her life" to move in the opposite direction from his.

The most important thing to a woman is love, in fact it's about the only thing that's important to her.

If her boyfriend wants to move to south America and live with a Shaman, guess what? She'll want to drop everything and go too rather than lose the relationship! That's what high interest level is.

But the price you pay for staying in a faulty relationship where you're too in love and she isn't, will be your self-esteem and your long term happiness.

You're mightn't miss your soul immediately, but you'll sure miss your self-esteem and you're happiness. You are missing them right now if you only knew it.

If he want's to move to south America live with a Shaman for a year or to Antarctica she'll go with him. Thats what high interest level is.

Isn't Love sopposed to be a 2 way street? A compromise?..why would you want someone that you love to give up everything that is them, to satisfy only you "100%" of the time? If you really loved them wouldnt you want THEM to have something they dream of as well?..kinda selfish to me..people need to learn to accept each other so they can meet half way. Love isnt about having someone follow you aroud at all costs. If you cant put in a little effort and work for something is it even worth having?

Jesus. Now that's an asshole post.

What exactly is your point, Mr. Sensitive?

I didn't write it to be an asshole If I came across like that I'm sorry.


My point is, he is talking about "deals with the devil" and the "incongruities". These are things that have got noting to do with his problem but are at best mental "metaphors" for what is really going on.

The problem is the woman's interest level in him has dropped. The sooner he comes to terms with that the better for him.

Sure sure sure, but you are missing my point. The point is women who have high interest level in their boyfriends don't have "incongruities". They are happy, period. Because a good relationship by itself represents the bulk of what they want in life. Yes "the bulk" of what they want.

Of course if a man is in love with a woman he want's her to be happy and is willing to make compromises.

But do you think this guys girlfriend is making him happy atm? Do you think she is acting in a loving way? I'm pretty sure she is not. If she was acting in a loving way he wouldn't be telling us about it.

The man from Ireland is correct. I appreciate the defenses, folks, but it is true. She is divided to say the least. I
Have seen this coming for a long time. She loves me, she loves me not.

I'll be okay. I made the choice to suffer through it and I'll be stronger because. I don't use alcohol or other numbing agents so I work through pain and acceptance faster than some.


Love to all.


Namaste,

What exactly was the nature of this bargain? Was it explicitly set forth that you would lose your soul or equivalent through consenting to the offer, or rather it felt like a violation of the natural order of things; that you'd rather have authentic love or nothing at all?

I wonder if this was some kind of cosmic test?
 
I dont believe in the Devil..I think the idea of it is silly. I believe in light and dark and both exist within us..essentially its about a head trip and internal struggle IMO...It's all you.

Light and dark is all a matter of perspective, there is nothing objective about the concepts. Dark can be good, light can be bad. And vice versa. Asking someone if they prefer laying down at night staring at the blue, yellow, red, etc stars and constellation patterns or enjoying the clouds and beauty of the green nature around them at 2 PM is truly amusing. Personally I LOVE both :)
 
E- i'm there with you brother. it is harder than anything, but like you i also do not use alcohol or anything that 'takes'....i am up to my eyebrows in suffering right now with the loss of my girl and i know how painful the process of ending a relationship can be.

you got a friend out here on the west coast :)

L&G!!

Wow, E, what poetry in your original post. This Love is, apparently, very powerful, aye, SWIM has never had a deep romantic/intimate commitment so your reports are helpful and informative. Look forward to hear what shines down the road for you.

Life seems to hand us what we find most difficult to deal with... But for a reason. Stay strong, I wish you all the happiness in the world my friend.


Much Peace and Sunshine
