Resisting the temptation

Posted May 6th, 2009 by Matthew Flowers in Shadow

I have been struggling with something for quite some time now and am curious if anyone else experiences it and if so how you deal with it.  The "phenomenon" I am referring to is my tendency to rest in the silent observer, the temptation of constantly being a nonjudgmental and detached witness to everything that is arising.  It is a borderline compulsion for me to "see" how much I can be aware of without being fully in the world.  In this way I recognize that I miss out on some of the living aspects of life.

Please feel free to respond.

Yeah, I've been flexing my "resist temptation" muscle lately, but in regard to my relationship to the feminine embodiment.  I've been struggling with breaking up with my ex-girlfriend for the past 3 months.  We came up with an agreement that for one month she would not contact me and I would not indulge in the feminine radiance as it manifests in the female form.  I've been realizing how much psychic energy I let out of my system by projecting my own feminine radiance onto women.  I'm unconsciously and magnetically drawn to beautiful radiant women.  And fasting from females has brought in new insights.

I know this is somewhat unrelated to your post but the title of your post is what resonated with my current situation so I thought I'd pass it on.
