A MARRIED MAN … PERCEPTIONS ABOUT … LOVE by Adrian Gabriel Dumitru Pdf

And what if one day … after stop loving someone that you liked so, so much … you decide to replace that big whole from your soul with loving all the people from the timeline of your life?! Today i believe that to understand the life itself we need to experience … love … in whatever form it might appear to us. It sounds weird, or even as a total nonsense … but in the end … following the paths of life …. I always realized that everything comes by itself. Not so long time ago, before becoming 40 …. I heard lots of strange ideas about the change is happening in man’s perspective about life … the next second he comes to this age. In fact … the truth is that only 2 versions worth to be mentioned … and i saw that at all my friends that had this age. One theory was that we start to have all types of medical problems … and the other one was that the man starts to be obsessed by love … love stories …. and all the women from the timeline of his life. I never had medical problems in my life … so i totally ignored the first theory ….and on another hand, working in sales for more than 20 years … i met thousands of ladies … but never had the intention to cheat my wife. So … i totally ignored both theories, but just few days before becoming 40 … a very beautiful lady … appeared in my life. She was the most unexpected person i could dream that i would start a love story with … but … it happened. The theory was right … or at least one of it. I fell in love … with that amazing soul … and i started to write all my feelings and everything related to us. I wrote so much … that one day i realized that i published 10 books carrying the word … love … inside of the title. But … same as any other story from the history of the human being … my love story had a beginning, the story itself …. and the end. Today … looking back in time, i see just the 10 books i wrote … but i would not like to read them again. Never … In my last book about love stories … “Loving, but not understanding where the love goes” … the last 2 essays i wrote tell everything it was in my heart and soul … “I miss you a lot, but i don’t want you back in my life! Never again!” … and “Awakening can be obtained at the end of the love story!”. I left the love story dissatisfied of all happened … but still … i was chasing for love. Getting back into her arms … was useless. I knew it … and even if i lied myself for such a long time … she was the same as my wife … a shrew … or at least this is how i saw both of them. I decided to let my life continue … near my family, totally forgetting the love story …. but still not ignoring my huge desire for … love. The smaller kid ….told me one day while arguing with my wife … “ You are not allowed to leave us. You are our parents and you don’t have the right to do that.” Ignoring those words … was equal with betrayal. …. A huge one. So i remained near my wife and kids … doing my duty, understanding the dharmic side of life … but still something was whispering me all the time …”love, love, love, love … love ….” I thought i need to find another lady … but my wife was paying attention now to any small detail … so i could not repeat the love story i had with that crazy lady. I was meditating a lot. On the scene of my life, i met lots of other people in the same situation as myself … that ended the love story and …. somehow started to be in a relationship with themselves. They discovered a new path …. the one of self love. But i did not know anything about the subject … and not even wanted to bother becoming more profound and connected to myself. I actually did not wanted to start a new relationship either …. with someone else … either with myself. I knew i needed something else into my life… but did not understood the new path i need to follow. And i continued … searching. On and on …. and on. One day … a year ago … while having a fire at one of my properties … a heart appeared on the roof of the building. Everyone saw the heart … except myself. Later on … i saw it in the pictures taken by the people that were there at the time. Again …. I thought that i should find a new mistress and have a parallel life again … without my wife to find out. But … i was wrong. So … damn wrong. Time passed and … and the russian-ukrainian war began … and i started to host lots of refugees. There were people that needed unconditional love and support … and i somehow connected to the all of them … realizing that i can be in a weird love story with all those women coming from Ukraine. They were ladies of different age and personality … but i loved having them into my life. I somehow started to understand that even if i thought that being in love can have only 2 options … loving a soulmate …. or yourself … i finally saw a totally new path …. and that was being in a lovely relationship … practicing another type of love …. with anyone was appearing in my reality. That of course … could not offend in any way my wife …. and also could not affect the marriage i had … but … Yes …. It was … an amazing trick … and i just loved it. I finally understood what Dalai Lama or Pope Francis were saying … about … unconditional love for all the people from this world. Reading their books … i even had moments when i thought the 2 of them were idiots …. but i was the idiot one. My marriage … was indeed karmic … having nothing to do with love … but my youngest son learnt me the meaning of … dharma. My mistress … which even if i loved so, so much … but don’t even want to hear her name again … taught me … what love … means. She was somehow a combination between karma and love … and saw her at the end of our love story more as a teacher …. than a soulmate. Most probably i have totally different values as those 2 shrews … my wife and my mistress … but i am happy i met the ucrainian ladies. The abstract love story i started with them …. all of them … no matter of age, personality, perspectives of life … was a much better path for continuing my life journey. I finally understood that if i would know to connect to the people that appear on the timeline of my life … and love them unconditionally…. somehow that love that i was chasing so, so much … since i was a kid … will come back to me in infinite quantities. I was looking for love … and i had to see the meaning of love story … from a totally different perspective. But … now everything was clear to me. I knew what i had to do … and which path to follow. My expectation was as my wife to love me …. but she was a karmic character that i could not replace … or my mistresses to love me unconditionally…. but she was the teacher that made me realize what the concept of love … means. My life journey … had to continue … and the ucrainian ladies showed me such a beautiful perspective … i never thought about. I was glad … of this awakening moment. So … loving you?! … loving me?! … or … simple loving any soul that appears in our lives?! Well … maybe from my position where i am now … being in a love story with everyone … is probably the best scenario i could live. Am glad i see things today … as that. Might be your perception … or not. Might sound as a total nonsense all what i am writing …. but maybe it will be much interesting to hear weird ideas … than the boring ones. So … let the journey begin … and we will see if i succeed to really connect to my real self … so … that i can find the inspiration to express myself clear enough … that in the end you will try at least one time … this kind of abstract love story … being in love with all the people from your life.

The Secrets of Happily Married Men by Scott Haltzman,Theresa Foy Digeronimo Pdf

A professor of psychiatry and human behavior offers up a positive, humorous marriage guide for husbands that plays to their strengths. Dr. Scott Haltzman, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University, has devised a proven method for improving relationships, based on a man’s special and unique skills, strengths, powers—as a responsible and motivated worker, manager, leader, problem-solver, partner, husband, and father. Men are different, Dr. Haltzman says. They don’t approach relationships with the same skills and techniques that women do—and viva la difference. In The Secrets of Happily Married Men, Dr. Haltzman presents eight proven techniques that he developed from his research and through the confidential correspondence to his highly successful website, including: · Make Your Marriage Your Job · Know Your Wife · Be Home Now · Expect Conflict and Deal with It · Learn to Listen · Aim to Please · Understand the Truth About Sex · Celebrate Your Love Written in a humorous and entertaining style, the book provides specific analysis, guidelines, and techniques that are based on male biology, neuroscience, brain differences, and unique developmental stages from youth to seniority. In addition, The Secrets of Happily Married Men contains compelling true stories, anecdotes, and confessions written by and for men (and the women who love them). Praise for The Secrets of Happily Married Men “Lively and entertaining, this broad guidebook provides Haltzman's insights illuminated by anecdotes from his online discussion forum for married men.” —Psychology Today “Haltzman . . . launches his eight strategies with remarkable vigor. More important, they are extraordinarily well fleshed out and convincingly supported with useful “to do” lists and a multitude of examples. They will no doubt prove helpful to many men struggling to build a happy marriage.” —Publishers Weekly

Psychic Pets - How Animal Intuition and Perception Has Changed Human Lives by Emma Heathcote James Pdf

Is your pet special? When you talk to it, do you feel it listening and even understanding? Has an animal ever saved your life - physically, emotionally or spiritually? Like humans, animals are spiritual beings. Their many qualities include unconditional love, joy, forgiveness, patience, courage, and gratitude - virtues that are often lacking in our high-tech world.We all know a pet that can anticipate its owners' return home, but did you know that some dogs have the ability to spot cancerous tumours? Horses have been known to drag their injured rides back to the stables; the US Epilepsy Institute say dogs can tell when someone is about to have a seizure; and all types of animals are now used in alternative therapy.In this riveting collection of testimonials from around the world, Emma Heathcote-James investigates and celebrates inspirational tales of amazing animals. Do pets possess an innate psychic ability which gives them powers of perception and even permits them to see into the future? It's time to take a look at what we humans might be missing...and to give our pets the respect that they are due.

CONNECTION … NOT CONNECTIONS by Adrian Gabriel Dumitru Pdf

4 questions kept repeating into my mind, for a long, long time ... and i've decided to write the book called "Connection ... not connections" .... as a reply ... first of all for myself. Yes ... I prefer to write ... cause is a much better way to understand my perceptions. .... and i already do it by a long time, all being soft of a self therapy ... defining all my thoughts... even if most of them are so, so contradictory... The number one question is what the hell is this weird concept called ... connection?! ... and what is its meaning?! Well ... more i think about it ... i become more and more confused. I have moments when i believe i had found the real truth ... but also moments when i am just disappointed of my disability of penetrating deeper the secrets of life. The only real thing that i know for sure ... is that the spiritual connection is the one that can help us ... get rid of all related with the illusory of life. And going deeper .... seeing all sorts of connections ... i ask again ... what is a love story?! What is its meaning?! Why we feel so, so changed when we find that person which we call .... soulmate?! What is happening with us ... while being into such a connection .... but also why the hell we realise into the end that all was illusory?! I smile ... but ... again ... no matter what ideas would come into my mind ... i still feel that actually this is not really a path to follow. And i'm writing that ... after personally testing all what i am saying ... I continue my meditations and into my mind appears a much weird idea ... revealed by the people which are feeling good together ... but still after an experience of life ... after being involved into lots of relationships... knowing the fact that after a while .... even the most beautiful love story becomes boring .... and being realistic enough ... they start allowing themselves to practice the art of being a swinger. And i will not bother to explain the concept... cause everyone knows it ... but it's probably a way of accepting... that we actually need to taste more than one energy. They simple can't stay .... just in one connection... adoring to occasionally taste other souls too ... The theory itself ... looks so, so weird. ... and immoral of course. But ... on the other hand ... can be accepted consciously... or ... by force ... Cause ... yes ... cheating is not immoral ... but a simple result of the fact the energy of the connection with the partner ... is not anymore all we wanted ... and actually needed for having the soul fulfilled with beautiful vibes. So ... i could even say that the swingers are actually... wise persons. Many would judge me ... for saying such a thing ... but ... But i continue my analyses ... and i dare to ask myself ... how the hell lives a monk alone into the monastery?! How can a human being live without a partner of life?! Is that really possible for us to live without the connection of the opposite sex?! I found that as ... weird too ... but somehow i've felt that life itself has many stages of evolution. Some ... find themselves into a relationship ... which gives them all they ever dreamed about. All the necessary energy comes from that story ... making them happy all the time. Others ... being honest enough ... with a lot of experience of life ... admitting the truth that only one type of energy is never enough for their souls ... go on the path of allowing themselves to taste other souls too. ... at least from time to time. And i see the monk ... but even if in my perceptions this was a too weird scenario ... i start to realise that the monk is actually chasing for the connection with the absolute. He was most probably like all the other humans ... having desires, wishes, lots of values in common with the society... but abandoned all seeing its ephemerality. The new purpose was only to chase for the infinite connection ... meanwhile ... into the real world ... practising the solitude... But even if i write all those questions ... with an answer to each of them .... i know i did not find the real answer. No ... And it's even worst ... cause i feel that i am too far away ... of the absolute truth, the result being that into my real life ... i am actually in connection... in connections ... or disappointed of all ... i see myself practicing ... the solitude... disconnecting from everything and everyone ... having the hope that ... the real path to follow in life will be revealed to me.

The State of Affairs by Esther Perel Pdf

"A fresh look at infidelity, broadening the focus from the havoc it wreaks within a committed relationship to consider also why people do it, what it means to them, and why breaking up is the expected response to duplicity — but not necessarily the wisest one.” — LA Review of Books From iconic couples’ therapist and bestselling author of Mating in Captivity comes a provocative and controversial look at infidelity with practical, honest, and empathetic advice for how to move beyond it. An affair: it can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet, this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. What are we to make of this time-honored taboo—universally forbidden yet universally practiced? Why do people cheat—even those in happy marriages? Why does an affair hurt so much? When we say infidelity, what exactly do we mean? Do our romantic expectations of marriage set us up for betrayal? Is there such a thing as an affair-proof marriage? Is it possible to love more than one person at once? Can an affair ever help a marriage? Perel weaves real-life case stories with incisive psychological and cultural analysis in this fast-paced and compelling book. For the past ten years, Perel has traveled the globe and worked with hundreds of couples who have grappled with infidelity. Betrayal hurts, she writes, but it can be healed. An affair can even be the doorway to a new marriage—with the same person. With the right approach, couples can grow and learn from these tumultuous experiences, together or apart. Affairs, she argues, have a lot to teach us about modern relationships—what we expect, what we think we want, and what we feel entitled to. They offer a unique window into our personal and cultural attitudes about love, lust, and commitment. Through examining illicit love from multiple angles, Perel invites readers into an honest, enlightened, and entertaining exploration of modern marriage in its many variations. Fiercely intelligent, The State of Affairs provides a daring framework for understanding the intricacies of love and desire. As Perel observes, “Love is messy; infidelity more so. But it is also a window, like no other, into the crevices of the human heart.”

Women in God’s Army by Andrew Mark Eason Pdf

The early Salvation Army professed its commitment to sexual equality in ministry and leadership. In fact, its founding constitution proclaimed women had the right to preach and hold any office in the organization. But did they? Women in God’s Army is the first study of its kind devoted to the critical analysis of this central claim. It traces the extent to which this egalitarian ideal was realized in the private and public lives of first- and second-generation female Salvationists in Britain and argues that the Salvation Army was found wanting in its overall commitment to women’s equality with men. Bold pronouncements were not matched by actual practice in the home or in public ministry. Andrew Mark Eason traces the nature of these discrepancies, as well as the Victorian and evangelical factors that lay behind them. He demonstrates how Salvationists often assigned roles and responsibilities on the basis of gender rather than equality, and the ways in which these discriminatory practices were supported by a male-defined theology and authority. He views this story from a number of angles, including historical, gender and feminist theology, ensuring it will be of interest to a wide spectrum of readers. Salvationists themselves will appreciate the light it sheds on recent debates. Ultimately, however, anyone who wants to learn more about the human struggle for equality will find this book enlightening.
