Emelgee replied to the topic Being drained of energy by others. in the forum General 18 years, 5 months ago
Hi Andy
Fair question and I think something we have all experienced at one point or another.
The posts of Intelligence, Alexander and Treesinger all have some good points and things to bear in mind.
I guess what I have tried is to be conscious of when someone is consciously or maliciously trying to drain my energy. I then simply avoid…[Read more]

Hey there Andy…
Well, you can’t be too unmotivated if you are here and looking forward to the Qi Gong 🙂 Maybe it is good to learn to be more gentle with yourself?
Anyhoo – it would take someone much more learned than I to provide the explanation that you seek but would suggest that, if you were interested in correcting your perceived…[Read more]

Alexander…
Firstly, you don’t bug me ‘cos if you did, I wouldn’t even talk to you to start with.
Secondly, even if you did bug me, why be sorry about it? Not everyone is destined to get along. But, I reiterate, you don’t bug me.
Thirdly, I didn’t think we had an argument. I didn’t miss your point – I completely got your point and I…[Read more]

Goodness Alexander! Do you *want* to have words with me? Is that what you are trying to achieve?
I meant exactly what I said “Good luck”.
The long version, if you prefer…
I don’t agree with you but I respect your view. I realise nothing I say is doing to dissuade you as you have set your course (there is nothing wrong with that!).…[Read more]

Sorry Alexander but I don’t agree with your views or the anger you hold for them, but I sense the anger arises from the passion you hold for your views. However, I do respect your right to have these views; the same way I respect any person’s right to their religious faith. Each person’s path is their own. If a person approaches me and says “I…[Read more]

I think it is always good to be careful when discussing faith.
For instance, my grandmother is a Catholic – through and through. She believes Jesus died for all of our sins, goes to chuch as often as she can etc. She and I have often had religious/philosophical discussions and the gist of her belief (within the Catholic religion) is that Jesus…[Read more]

Emelgee replied to the topic Judgement in the forum General 18 years, 6 months ago
Max, you inspired me to look further into why I either am viewed on this forum (or by Alexander alone) to not go deeper into things or if, in fact, I do not do so as a matter of course.
In my daily life I feel I spend a lot of time looking after and encouraging people – both in my work and within my relationships. I spend a lot of time and…[Read more]

Emelgee replied to the topic Judgement in the forum General 18 years, 6 months ago
Sorry Alexander, it isn’t my job to entertain or speak for all women. I speak when I feel inspired to share. It is that simple really.
Further, in my original post on judgement I said all I really had to say. It isn’t my nature to repeat things unnecessarily. I shared my feelings on something I discovered about myself and welcomed thoughts…[Read more]

Emelgee replied to the topic Judgement in the forum General 18 years, 6 months ago
Thanks for your reply Alexander.
Guys was just a general reference.
The reason I didn’t get back to you re Pietro’s post is that I can find nothing in it that inspires my response. Not in a bad, dismissive way but it is his opinion/experience and I have no thoughts or feelings on it one way or another at this stage (other than respecting…[Read more]

Yes it would.

Emelgee replied to the topic Dominant women and submissive man in the forum General 18 years, 6 months ago
Pietro – this is just my guess…
But maybe Wendy is sick of being the woman who seems to be used as a reference in discussions relating to women? Surely you guys must know other ladies!
All this talk about men and women when (possibly) the talk could just be about *people*…surely there is something that is universal in us all?

Hi Alexander
I am glad you didn’t get slapped around on your mini-break 🙂
Let’s see – I am friends with Wendy but have only conversed with her online.
Pietro’s post on lust and love I haven’t really digested at the moment. Intellectually, I can understand much of what he is saying but I have yet to synthesize it further to get my own…[Read more]

Sorry, I re-read the post and thought it may sound shorter than I had intended it…so, I hope no-one is offended by the way it came out as that wasn’t my intention.
