How do you go about trying to meet someone without the desire to want to meet someone?
I mean, I heard the phrase thrown around "pray to catch the bus, but run like hell"..
And in the same sense, "you cant place a seed on a counter and pray and expect it to grow without soil, water and sunlight".
So in a way, you have to be active, outdoors, doing things,be presentable, to hopefully meet someone, and in this case without the intention or desire of meeting someone..
And what if you have a very reclusive life, where your not even "out" much because you work odd hours, sleep during the day, and just off sync with the normal flow of society?
Can online dating yield a prospective partner? There are a few spiritual dating sites, or other spiritual minded individuals on other ones as well..
Also read what Samael had to say about dating advertisements, about being modern day prostitution, absurd and whatnot.. And another post where the instructor advised to pray to God for a spouse and not the internet the God of the masses when it comes to online dating..
But, is that type of thinking, limiting possibilities of the way God can bring two people together especially if someone has a completely reclusive life because of work schedule, and other factors outside of his control? I mean, is it that black and white when it comes to internet dating?
Also, what happens when you meet someone, and there are so many ego's involved going back and fourth. All the energy it takes out of your life, mental energy, physical time, eating into your practice, affecting your routine.. It seems like the courtship process is so engrossed in egos, that without any ego, you would be a flat bore.. I know thats my pride, but still.. It seems like meeting someone, is just bringing out so much that I havnt seen before in a long time, its really throwing a wrench in my practices.. Is this expected? Is it a form of switching focus and trying to nurture the growth of a upright relationship, juggling the egos involved. It really feels like things are alot harder and taking more effort and the mind more excited..
I know I asked alot of questions, and this may seem more like a rant, but really, I could use some advice, anything that you can let me know, I really have nobody else to express all this to and would appreciate any help from someone with experience..
Thank you..
