Spirituality and Relationships

Yeah, I think you understand what I am getting at here, Danish, and sarah_louise, that is a remarkable thing to say that all Westerners are too lazy and slovenly for Laxmi. You know nothing about my life and many other Westerners so you shouldn't judge us all by your own standards of housekeeping and work ethics... anyway, thanks for all good advice I am really trying to develop in relationship areas but progress is slow and difficult. I just will continue pressing forward.

JD1stTimer Reviewed by JD1stTimer on 09-17-2008. Spirituality and Relationships I have been meditating today and I came upon a startling realization... I am looking for an incarnation of Laxmi and either when I become an avatar of Vishnu then she will appear in my life and I will recognize who she is and she will understand it when I tell her and we will be joined, or else I will meet her and she will help me become an avatar of Vishnu. Anyone who understands more about Hindu religion please help me with this. Rating: 5

Oh, there's no doubt about that... lol. Anyways, things have been pretty cool since I got that little statue. I'm gettin' them big checks where I work, $11.00/hour. Lol, sad to say but that's a fairly coveted figure in my workplace... that's about the most you can get without being a manager! Anyway, for thirty bucks or so it hasn't been bad, if anything it's still a cute little mantle piece to burn incense in front of. I'm looking at the girls where I work, and I could probably bring home any of them I really wanted to if I give it some effort and attention. vis a vis eating a good diet, exercising regularly, making sure to always talk to them and ask how their day is going, etc. I'm having trouble deciding who to pursue... in a way it kinda reminds me of my search for trustworthy connections in the workplace...

Well... just please dont make the mistake to believe that it was this little statue that changed how the things in you life are. No man-made statues, amulets, artifacts, wherever, has any power in itself by itself. (Catholics, it also include your "saints").
The only way to give true power to such things is by the use of real witchcraft, enchantings, and such, things which are definitively not wholesome (to say the very least).
So, please take this beliefs with a grain of salt. :thumbsup:

Now that just might be the royal bitch, biting you on the bum (aka Laxmi's karma). You see, engaging in random cultural appropriation and inviting a goddess into an unsuitable home can be a costly expercise.

Laxmi is revered in many homes to influence the prosperity of those who dwell within the house. However laxmi will not accept worship from slovens or the lazy and by laxmi's standards all westerners are idle slovens. She is not an easy route to money and requires much more than incense to bring you positive fortunes.

I'd never invite Laxmi in, there is no way she would accept my housekeeping.

What it appears to be about is the fact that your soulmate will help you become the avatar of Vishdu.

Becoming the avatar of Vishdu is simply an explanation that you in her virtue of life shall acomplish the aprehending due of you becoming the best person you can be and hence see the avatar of Laxmi which is believe yes to have greater powers in helping you achieve richness.

But remembering the templates of Hinduism you shall not retrieve this richness out of modern wealth but rather out of wealth on life as you need to have your true mate beside to achieve the visions of Laxmi.

Im babbling because im high but i hope these quick explanations is of help else im just sorry for the babbly... take care

Very interesting. I tend to think we are all the Buddha, at different levels of development. Not just Buddha though, Christ, Rama, Krisna, whatever you call it. Same deity, different cosmology. At least to me it seems that only the cosmologies change to fit the culture in which a religion is embedded.

BTW, things have been going much better for relationships lately. I have four young women I hang out with a lot, two would have gone romantic for me if they weren't already attached to someone far away. Two of them go out of their way to talk to me as often as possible, and they act all giggly and so forth. I don't really know how to proceed from here, this is the tricky part for me and I've never even kissed a girl although I'm nearly 30. I don't want to go to my death bed a bachelor.

JD i respect your journey for truth... that search is always to be honored.

my personal thoughts are that nothing outside of you can bring you what you desire. all you truly need is within you. that changes the journey from one of finding something lost to simply realizing that you already have it and just need to tap into it to utilize it.

Update. I have finally made out. It was so much fun. I went on a blind date to a Hank Williams III w/ Assjack and Those Poor Bastards. After the show we went to her place and talked about Hoffman discovering lysergic acid, we talked about Aldous Huxley, Alex Jones, a local community radio station, sustainable living, gardening, getting off the grid, she seemed like the female version of myself!!! But she's black, how fun of a twist is that?! And she doesn't like Obama the way most of my friends do, so she's thinking outside the box. We ended up open-mouth kissing and cuddling for about 45 minutes. I didn't have protection, so I didn't try to hook up. Unfortunately not much has happened since then, that was Feb. 20th. I have seen her a few times, and we kissed a little once, but she's been telling me she's sick and has yeast infection and once she wanted me to come over after work, so I cancelled hanging with my friends to go to her place, and she was too busy studying to do anything fun. Now her phone is turned off I think. Oh and her most prized possession is a 1st edition Webster dictionary. My most prized possession is a replica of the 2nd edition. How freaky is that?
