This discussion is mostly aimed at those who are advanced and are mature.
I'm wanting to know who else is feeling that they are just not that interested in relationships or sex anymore.
I have been fine with established lovers here or there over the years without getting right into a relationship with them. (Based on mutual respect and trust). However, it was surprising to just turn off meat and animal products overnight, now I'm overcoming alcohol cravings and am conscious (and now desire to) giving it up altogether just as I always knew I'd become vegetarian again. I'm wondering if chocolate is next in attempt to keep eating only the purest of foods.
I've been meditating everyday and it's doing wonders.
But, I have a hunch that I'm not as needy now and whether I'm going to manage? I really enjoyed a beautiful night alone (Saturday) last night as I made an organic salad and did my own thing. I got up and saw the stars out this morning and enjoyed the peaceful surrounds.
I'm not sure if I'm wanting to join my energies with someone that is not vibrating at the same rate anymore. We have all had dysfunction but joining with someone who isn't trying to attain to be spiritual - you just don't know really.
Any thoughts? If you've been single and on your path alone and managed well, I'd love to hear.

Interesting Ivy Ivy,
Marriage really was just designed by the church and Government. It's all part of the 'ownership' programming where you sign a legal piece of paper and the Government agrees. It binds free will choice. So people end up in court to divorce and make their spouse suffer and pay dearly.
A wise celibate probably knows the true power of sexual energy, and wants to use it in a responsible and effective way.
I think this explains how we are feeling. Thanks
Thanks Delilah,
You really put it into words that resonate. Can definitely relate that joy is found in simple things now.
Hi Butterfly. I have been single (and celibate) for 10 years now and I'm certainly not complaining about being on my own - I LOVE it!! The voyage of discovery of oneself is a journey best done alone, with no interference from anything outside of ourselves (in my opinion of course - though I also read that too from philosophy and spiritual writings). However, having said that, everything outside of ourselves is but a reflection of our inner self anyway, we have a 'relationship' to a person who enters our (physical) space and triggers something within us, but we don't have to enter into a relationship with them, that's the beauty of having a choice in life.
And that leads me back to loving being on my own - not needing anyone to 'complete' me (who hasn't met so many 'incomplete individuals' in their lifetime!!). Having said that I have been married, I have children and that part of my life has been completed, Like choosing to be a vegetarian, most people have tasted meat etc, but there comes a time when the you no longer want it and find the benefits of being without it. I'm 'half and half' really as I still like chicken and fish.
So there is another 'half and half', and that is I like the socialising and company, but no longer need a committed relationship and everything else that comes with.
As you said Butterfly, unless someone is vibrating at the same energetic level as us, then sorry, not interested, there are a million of stars who enjoy our visual company (on any night) anyway! And, there are more of us happy singles, celebrating celibacy, out there than we realise. Life is good.
Love what you have to say there Lieutenant! Makes so much sense and is very comforting to know that we might feel this way in 10 years - but still love being on our own.
I don't think I can stand the dysfunction anymore within a person - especially with people who
don't want spiritual knowledge,
put the tv on mindlessly,
follow the crowd,
tell dirty jokes,
have malice in their hearts -
and jolly well won't think for themselves!
They can still have integrity even like this - but integrity is not enough for me now.
It sounds as if we are 'better than everyone else here' but I think we have developed enough 'self-love' to actually now say 'NO!' I want pure, I want love, I want the same vibration.

I agree with you that 'we' have developed 'self love', Butterfly, and do not consider myself 'better than anyone else', as I have found the formula for my life which works for me - it's called being contented with where I am and who I am (flaws n' all).
This line of feeling/thinking can be a bit challenging for some who can't understand, but that's something that they have to come to terms with (after all we are all unique, in our differences).
We attract like for like (Law of Attraction), so the people not on our wavelength and looking for somehting different to what we are looking for, will not come on our radar, and visa versa. So, concentrate on the characteristics you would like in another person and that's what you will attract into your circle of friendship.
I have not given up on love, and if I am to share in a committment equal partnership, then it will happen without me lighting candles, writing a 'wish list' sending out special prayers etc, As a friend once said to me 'what's for you, won't go by you', and I'm a great believer in that.
Thank you for your lovely reply. Go well.
I like the Captain's observation on the "ping pong" principal --women looking for those who provide the best orgasm.
But also there are those who dishonestly deny physical appearance is not relevant in their search for a guy.
I may as well have the head of a dragonfly, being .20 of the male population with hair disappearance syndrome, so being comfortable without a relationship comes naturally for me :)
Let's not overlook another bump in forming a good spiritual relationship--that is too many leave a relationship refusing to believe the union isn't working due to the other. They'll even leave town taking emotional baggage with them, searching for happiness.
I'm comfortable being solo, but will always be hopeful for the spiritual relationship. Like so many others these days, the desire to hold out for the ultimate mate is better than eventual break up.
Meanwhile, it's taking care of body temple : hard workouts, vegetarian food, vegetable juicing, meditation, reading, etc.
Strange how we wind up on this path while others, mostly, chose another direction, even family members.
I hear ya, RNC. We all get our spiritual "food" from somewhere and unfortunately our western society right now rewards unwholesome lifestyles and the "maya" illusion of perfection. So our spiritual natures go unfed while some of us fill those empty places with food, addictions and sexual energy.
And honey, a real woman wouldn't care a fig about your hair or lack thereof, my guess is that your intellectual, physical and spiritual proweress is intimidating. And I suspect that like a maker of fine wine, you only pick the juiciest, best fruit and leave the rest behind, lol.
