    … whoever experienced these milestones will unavoidably describe them using  certain keywords (even without ever hearing those keywords before). Thats why i always ask 'hey what thats feel like' and if i get a shuffle dance in lieu of a precise reply i know that is not it;) …


    Exactly.

    … the woman leaned over to her aged sweetie and asked, are you still there? …


    :lol: They might have had a fight. :P 
    A friend of mine (86) says first thing every morning, “yeah, I’m still here’. :D

    At first I was afraid, I was petrified
    Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
    Then I spent so many nights Just thinking how you did me wrong
    And I grew strong
    And I learned how to get along

    And so you're back from outer space
    I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face
    I should have changed that stupid lock
    I should have made you leave your key
    If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

    Go on now go, walk out the door
    Just turn around now
    'Coz you're not welcome anymore
    Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbyes?
    you think I'd crumble?
    you think I'd lay down and die?
    Oh no not I, I will survive
    For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
    I've got all my life to live
    And I've got all my love to give
    I'll survive
    I will survive
    Hey hey

    (I, I will survive)
    Hey hey
    (I, I will survive)
    Every day
    (I, I will survive)
    Oh yeah

    It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

     

    [original lyrics: Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart]


    Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
    And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
    I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
    And you see me, somebody new
    I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
    And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free

    But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

     

    Go on now, go walk out the door …

     

    I added in the quote re. “It took all the strength I had not to fall apart”.

    The original lyrics have: “Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart”

    15. The common people see things clearly; 
    16. I alone am in the dark. 
    17. The common people discriminate and make fine distinctions; 
    18. I alone am muddled and confused. 
    …
    21. The masses all have their reasons [for acting]; 
    22. I alone am stupid and obstinate like a rustic. 
    23. But my desires alone differ from those of others— 
    24. For I value drawing sustenance from the Mother.

    :lol: I’m asking for a friend. :P

    Spoiler

    Google, ‘asking for a friend’, (idiomatic, humorous) Indicates that a question is embarrassing by pretending to be asking on behalf of another person.

    Hi SailingDaoist. Sounds good to me: “I love the natural balance between the physical, intellectual and spiritual.” Welcome to the forum. :)

    Hi jonboy. Wow, the NDE so young. Good to hear you “have been happy for a couple years now and life just feels easier”. Welcome to the forum. :)

    Hi wuweightlifter. I am of the opinion that, “it can only resolve at the rate it resolves”. Often barriers are there for a reason. It sounds like the past trauma was severe, then imo it’s wise not to push through as this (in my experience) can cause a psychotic break. To gently clear energy blockages, I’d recommend ‘spontaneous qigong’. Welcome to the forum. :)
