Jon - Yup, romantic love can be quite a snare, can't it?

Amos - Wise words in your last post, compadre.

Ebbie - Right. Okay, I understand what you meant now.

Mrzzy - Here's one for you to think about. I am pretty sure I've lived a number of past lives...actually quite a number of them. What I base that on is various experiences I've had, but it would take too long to explain them. Anyway, I'm also pretty sure that I've been a woman in some of those lives and a man in others...and that what I really am ultimately contains both masculine and feminine potential right across the whole spectrum in equal measure. I'd call that the "soul". I think it's beyond gender divisions.

That being the case, I don't think of myself as being irrevocably male...I'm just male at the moment, that's all...while I'm in this body. And that's fine. I like it. It would also be fine to be a woman. I'd like that too. Either way is great. As you might gather, I see no reason whatsoever for conflict or oneupmanship between the genders, no reason for a "war of the sexes" or anything like that. It strikes me as totally absurd, because my soul is already both genders and always has been. I also see it as absurd to make either gender subservient to the other in any way.

But my body is male in this life, so I'm manifesting as a male in this life and enjoying it just fine...except I'm a bit envious of women's ability to have multiple orgasms! ;-)

Just have to wait till next life for that, I guess...or maybe the one after that. We'll see.
