looking for a mentor [Archive]

I had made a post in a different forum and mimosa suggested that I come in here and see if I can find what im looking for. Ive been meditating alot and doing some yoga, and durring a meditation, I relized I am in need of a mentor. Im not sure if this person is going to come to me, or if im to find them. Either way, I figured here is a pretty good place to start. I had stated in the other forum that I was wanting someone to share there wisdom with me, and help me grow spiritually, mentally and everyother way. I got a lot of silly responses from people my age like"dont play with cats if ur allergic. . . So you can see my frustration. If there is anyone out there that is interested in having a "student" willing to listen and learn, and embrace their wisdom, let me know. Please no one that is just tryin to crack a joke. And if your in the denver/boulder area, that would be fantastic! Peace and Love. Namaste!!

I don't know if it's you who should be looking for your mentor.
I have a mentor but I never searched or looked for him.
Maybe if you stop your searching, you'll start to find.
And I truly hope you find him or her,
because having someone to guide you
and share that wisdom with can be a truly wonderful experience.
Good luck on your journey.

Love,

Lisa

I always found it better to follow your heart, all the wisdom you seek is inside yourself. No other person, religion, government can assist if you, well maybe it's just me.

I agree terrapin. It's what our own expericence teach us and we grow from that. I have been lead astray by self appointed gurus and found myself only learning " Dont Follow Leaders'.. Listen and learn from what you feel is right for you. The ones here have an abundance of information that has helped them. Draw from that and you will find more then you thought possible.

Im not wanting someone to change me, the way i think, or to have as a "leader" Im just interested in having someone I can talk to. Who I can ask questions to and gain something more then I might have found on my own. Someone who is well edjucated and can give me another way of looking at things. I absorb information like a spounge. I like having older wiser people to go to. I understand what most of you are saying and think im wanting. I know to follow my own path.. learn from my experiance..yada,yada, so if thats all you have to say, Ive heard it before. thanks for the imput though. Peace and Love <3

I am like an accoustic guitar....no flash.
Just the raw shit.

If I can help you I will...

But the bottom line is...we have everything we need inside us...just listen.
People will be along your path..they will come and go..you will take what you need at the time and leave the rest..or remember it for later.

Your angels will guide you if you let them.

There is a cosmic plan...you just have to REALIZE what you are made of and put your energy out there into the flow.

Listen...
You already know what is right, and if you listen...then you will hear.

We are sent signs to let us know things, but you have to be open to them...there is so much going on around us, and it can be overwhelmimg...but if you can have a quiet place, and be silent there...then so much is revealed.
Only if you are open to the knowledge that you posses, can you learn from it.

You will know when things are right..and when you have to get back on track.

Just listen.

No one can guide you, our lives are all different and can only be lived by the one.
They can only relate...and you can only take what you will.

When you were young,,,and you still are,,,you had to learn things the 'hard way'...that is a natural progression...you have to test the limits..that is actually your job when your young...testing, finding your niche.
When you are comfortable with yourself, then you can truly move on.
Trust yourself.

There are wise people here, and you can listen to what they say...but it is then up to you to mull it over, set a spell, roll it all around in your head...chew on it awhile...then apply what you need. You will know eventually what is good for YOU.

You are in charge of what you portray to the world..maybe it is important to you..maybe not.

My guess is that you have not heard it ALL before.....

ya know I just can't take someone seriously when they come in asking for spiritual enlightment flashin' their tits. The two just don't fit together. It looks more like your looking for physical enlightenment to me. But hey, I'm from the old school, what do I know.
People have reached out to you and you yadaya them, how rude. If you don't want to hear the truth then don't ask truth seekers for answers, we all had to find our own way and some were more then willing to help you, but since you've heard it all before' then why ask..
sh

Shameless, I was not trying to be rude when I said that. I appologize if I offended anyone, it wasnt my intention. I have just had so many say the same thing. I have come to the conclustion that the person I am looking for is not on here. So Thanx to anyone else that wants to post about this, thats fine. But I am not going to find what I am looking on here. I know that there is someone I am supposed to meet. Maybe a mentor, maybe a friend. I dont know anyone as of now, that I would consider a mentor.

As far as "flashing my tits" u say im the rude one. But that was just..Im not even sure what the word it. If your such an enlightened hippy, then why are you judging me. You just sound hypocritical to me. I happen to think that is a beautiful picture of me. And I am very happy with my body. I think the womans body is a beautiful thing. I dont think that picture is in poor taste. It may show some skin, but im not laying on a couch spread eagle.

teepi~~ I think what you said was beautiful. I have heard similar things from other people. But I do love the way you put it. Thank you for taking me seriously and giving me a great response.

I just call them like I see them dear. I have nothing against the human body you are a beautiful young lady, but it was the way you presented yourself. All meditive and seeking guidance for spiritual awearness. When someone approaches me with questions of how to become enlightend I look at the whole of them and I see their motives. I read eyes, faces and body launguage, I am also Empathic and feel others intentions. I see behind the guise.
If you only want to be seen as a pair of pretty tits. That's up to you. But I belive that you have more going for you then just your flesh. I've had talks with other young women about flashing their treasure all over the internet for every evil eye to drool over. There are predators in these forums as they are everywhere, just waiting for someone to "guide". To them you are prime for the picken'. It looks like advertisement to them. Just be careful about what you show and who you show it to. Not everyone is about Love, Peace and Brotherhood.

i have always had mentors, and what does the way that she is dressed have to do with anything. i feel that she is openly searching and has not been rude to anyone. i remember wearing some pretty revealing outfits as a hippie in the 70's and i was searching for mentors. i feel that you are really putting Searching for more in a catagory that she doesn't belong in.
may you always search for enlightenment

Hippiewise my friend. I know I sound like a bitch, but if my being a bitch can help save a young woman from harm I will put it out there.
I have been on the 'net for 8 years, I have seen with my own eyes and felt it in my heart how young women and men dissapear and are not heard from again. I have had friends ' go missing' after meeting someone off the net. Later to be found dead.
I too went braless and wore see through clothes in my youth, I was raped and even beaten by my abductors who I believed were my mentors.
It's not out of meaness that I speak these words, it's out of love.
Did you realize she didn't respond to any of the ladies that offered to help her, only after I brought it up did she reply to Teepi. She never acknowledge your offer. She just scoffed at us. I have been fooled by experts, this one is an amature and is walking on dangerous ground.
I am not judging, I know what I know. The knowing keeps me awake at night, the worry for the young ones. I talk to them like I would my own children. I don't care what they thnk of me.. it's none of my buissness.. But I will contenue to do what I can to open young eyes to the dangers that lay within.
If that puts me in a bad light so be it. But if it saves one single person from harm, then my prayers will have been answerd. I'm not here to win a personality contest.
Sometimes pulling punches is not the best teacher, altho she or you may not understand my motives, Creator knows my heart and I answer to that, not man. And in my harshness tho she does not like me, she will remember my words.
I do not sugar coat it. I will not apologise for what and who I am. I can only be Me.
I hope you all understand.

Sh- I really dont appreciate the way you are talking to me. I understand that there are "pervs" on the net. I dont really care. Im not planning on meeting anyone. I have a fiance and if im not with him im at school. It may not seem this way, but I am not as ingnorant as u beleive I am. You do not know me. You can not read my eyes my face and my body language from the comfort of your computer chair. Before you judge me, talk to me, get to know me. Then if you still feel the same way thats your oppinion and I will respect that. I dont dress like that. I just happen to love that picture. It was a modeling shoot I did for a friend. Hes a wonderful photographer and I think he captured a beautiful moment. I have been raped. I was drugged by my best friends fiances room mate. (make sense?). I know how it feels, and I know what to look for. I dont trust every person saying "heres my wisdom..blah blah" And I did respond to hippiewise. I did it in private. Ask her shell tell you. Dont ever assume. I did like the way teepi put it. His words were beautiful and I respected the way he told me his opinion. I am not responsible for a sick man looking at me and rapin someone else. I will not hold that on my shoulders. I am an "amature". That is why I am searchingformore, and seeking the guidance and wisdom from my elders. Thank you hippywise for standing up for me.

i was a rape counselor and rape has absolutely nothing to do with sex. rape is an act of control and manipulation. chelsea's picture has absolutely nothing to do with someone raping someone else. i don't understand your anger at her shameless heifer. it is a beautiful picture, not like the one's on the sex forums showing everything. i don't feel that chelsea has done anything wrong. all she did was ask for guidance from a mentor, what's wrong with that? what you are saying to her, shameless heifer, is what i've heard so many times when i went to court with rape victims to support them. whenever they had to take the stand the attorney for the rapist would always try to make the victim guilty by saying they asked for it by the way they were dressed. that is such wrong thinking, that is why rape victims are afraid to go to court because they are treated like the victim. that's all i have to say on this post. it is out of control. chelsea meant no harm at all and has done nothing wrong.

I'm not angry Hippiewise. And I said it was a lovely picture. I was just trying to warn her of what lurks in public forums. And shit happens all the time to the innocent, innocents is no protection. I didn't say it was her fault if she got raped. Don't put words in my mouth please. I was trying to tell her to be carefull who she let metor her, good grief, talk about taking it too far.
You just can't see my face and eyes and the love in my heart. You hear what you want. It's not easy trying to be all things for all people.
I've worked in several crisis centers in several states, being a surviver of abuse myself. I've had a shelter right in my home. That why I say what I do..

sh- theres no need for you to be rude. Young and innocent dont always go hand and hand. I am young, and inexperienced in many ways. But I am not stupid. Dont make me out to be. I have learned from my mistakes in life, and hold them dearly. I would not change anything that has ever happened to me(including being raped) For it is from these experiences that I draw knowledge and gain another insight to who I am and who I am to become.
And no, I never though hippywise was a man. I feel like you are taking something out on me. Y do you think that I am only going to listen to men?? Just because I dont agree with your opinion, doesnt mean I am against all women. I think that women are intelligent, beautiful souls, with just as much wisdom as men. And probably more incite into what I am going through, considering I am a woman. I am proud of who I am, and what I have done. At this point in my life, for the first time, I feel so centered and balanced. I am about to complete one chapter of my life, to continue on to what I know will be an even better one. I have a fiance that loves me. . My finals are over, and I grad. school in jan, the career I have wanted since I was 2 is waiting for me when I do. I am happier and healthier, mentally, spiritually, and physically then I have ever been.
Hippywise, and sh- I agree with you both. This post has gotten out of control and has been taken to far. I may or may not have found what I was looking for. only time will tell.
sh-your right, I cant see your eyes and the love in your heart. I am sure it is there, and Im sure your intentions were of the best. You and I just communicate in different ways.
I thank everyone for posting, but I do think that it is best that I stop posting on this thread, and continue my search elsewhere.

And so I hope that something is learned here. Because in searching for mentors, it must come to the place where we realize that we ALL learn from each other, in the most mysterious of ways. Whether we want to admit it or not, every one of us is a teacher, and everyone a student. It matters not if it is a pleasant lesson or an unpleasant one, because the lesson is inescapable unless we are totally blind, or dead. The disagreement here could be used wisely as a teaching. But no one should also close his eyes to the lessons they might be teaching others. We present to others the self that we believe or wish ourselves to be. We are proud, but sometimes our pride makes us blind to the effect we are having on others.

Looking for a mentor is not like going shopping. It is about keeping your eyes and mind open, living as close to the way you believe as possible, so that you will attract the appropriate teachers to you, and taking whatever you can learn from each and every soul you connect with.

i don't understand your anger at her shameless heifer. it is a beautiful picture, not like the one's on the sex forums showing everything. I don't feel that chelsea has done anything wrong. all she did was ask for guidance from a mentor..... chelsea meant no harm at all and has done nothing wrong.
I'm sorry i have not been keeping up with this post, but those are my thoughts also. if we can't be mentors or guidance for the young people who earnestly want to know things, then piss on us. I respect all the elders here, and sometimes don't feel qualified to offer advice, because I'm still confused myself...I have been going thru a lot of midlife issues and can definitely offer advice on THAT, but I truly respect the wisdom that some of you offer and thought Chelsea could benefit from it too.

Chelsea, I think you are true and I hope you will stay around and keep searching for what you need. I know pretty much what you mean, I'm still searching for it at age 47, which is kind of pathetic (for me) but I try to be honest. for a lot of us everything is an eternal search, just keep at it, girl, never stop growing. that is where a lot of people make their mistakes is getting tired from all the shit the world throws at us. I love everyone here on these forums, very few exceptions, and we all have our individual issues. I respect that. ok, I'll close for now....peace all.

Ya know first immpressions are the hardest, they can't be changed. But with time all things change. I had a bad first immpressions. I felt In Search was looking down her nose at us when she stated " If that's all you have to offer" I've heard it all before, yadayada". That pushed one of my no no buttons. I saw no response from her when the ladies offered help, only when she thought teepi was a man and laid it on how wonderful she thougth HE was. That's where I was coming from. That's how she presented herself to me.
Now I hear how wonderfully complete she is and am wondering why she would need a mentor if she already was so fulfilled. I'm getting mixed singals here. Now she's taken it a step further and opened a new thread about weather it's right or wrong to ask for a Mentor, what is that all about. Is she fucking with me.
I'm trying to be fair, but don't fuck with me in MY Garden I will excort you to the gate.

But I did think it was more apropreate place for it as that is what she was looking for, I think. I also think she may have created the poll to teach me a lesson, as a get back or perhaps a challenge..
I'm not trying to run anyone off, but I'm not gonna be put down at my own kitchen table. Not everyone is gonna agree 100% of the time.

I found it, in introduce yourself, why didn't you say that silly.. took me two days to figure it out....lol Well in any case thanks for the invite and the nice words.

I don't know if everyone is awear of this or not, or even care ( I know some do) But Pride is dying and we are very close to the end of his life here with us ( my faimly). I can't tell you all how fast time goes by. How little time we really have here on this earthly plane. I know he will be in the Light soon and his new journey will begin. This however does not fill the emptiness that we will all feel when he joins Great Spirit in the Happy Hunting Ground. Great Spirit will be happy to see Pride as he enters, Pride will be happy to see Great Spirit too, but we shall mourn the loss of a great man/father/husband/brother, a kind and giving soul who did good in his lifetime. He will reap his reward on the other side and hold a place for us upon our arrival and we shall be reunited in Great Spirit.
In the knowing of this I have a heavy heart, I want to scream out to Creator.. NO!! No More!! As I beat my chest with my fists to make my heart stop hurting. In this I grow short with my "self" and it may spill out on others.
If I have hurt anyones feelings I am sorry and I will spend hours beating myself up for it when it's all said and done. I do not apologise for what I said but perhaps the way I said it.
At times in our lives we grow weary from the constant struggle to be perfect in an imperfect society. The strife seems neverending and the burden of trying to do right all the time becomes overwhelming. We become cynical and even stuborn in our veiws. We use to be spirits trying to be human, now we are humans trying to find our spirit, funny how change comes about and the lessons we draw from them.
I want to thank you all for opening me back up and out of the dismal mind set I was in. I am blessed to be part of all of you. You help me find my higher self and get above these obsitcals I set before myself as I dwell in selfdoubt.
I think we all feel the helplessness of not being able to change the inevitable(sp). I think it affects us in strange ways. It kinda resembles building up a front to be brave? To be strong and not show weakness when you just want to collaps on the floor and go to sleep till it's all over. Does that leave us open to other identies or strenghts taking over playing the hard case so the softer side can take care of self and later be one with strenght again.
In my ramblings I find the questions I ask, in the responce I find the truths of self. Life is truly a learning experience for all of us. We grow as we learn. We have to be able to be the change, in ourselves to grow further.
Thank you all for the changes you helped me make in my self. I love you all. Grow on.

Sweet Lee Ann, thank you for the love. Caring and sharing is what is all boils down to. Faith in a new and better way comes each year as we grow closer in spirit. I know you are a caring and loving woman, it's ok not to remember everything. It's where you heart is that counts. I know where your heart is.
I know too that sometimes life gets in the way of things we mean to do. There's no worries, Pride feels the loving energy that is sent to him. He is in good spirits and trying to stay positive.
I hope you are getting past the events that caused you suffering. Wishing you and the kids a Blessed Christmas Spirit.
Love ya too Gal.

I saw your post over in the personnal area Mary, about Pride.
I still have the talisman I painted last year of the Indian...I think of him all the time as it is still above my work area.

My views on death and dying are somewhat out of the "norm" and I may seem strange in my beliefs on the subject. So I won't go into that here.
But my prayers are with him and his family, I pray that the transition will be an easy one and that his family will see the healing that is there for all in his suffering.

Lee Ann...good to see you. I have not been back for very long, but I have missed you.
At least your drink didn't shoot out cha nose!!!

Good to see you too!! I've missed you as well. When I think of hipforums, you and SH are the two I think of most. Both of you have been such an inspiration to me...you just don't know. I still have your painting hung by my pc at home. I've had so many compliments on it. I have not kept in touch with either of you, but like SH said, life gets in the way. I think so much of you both, and love you to death. If I could meet anyone on hipforums it would be you two, without a doubt. I'd love to sit at ya'lls kitchen tables, smoke a bowl, and listen to your stories. Maybe one of these days..you never know.. :)

Pride is my nephew married to my neice, He is Dakota Indain from Cananda, He, his wife Angel and their son Matho Waste' are very close too my heart. Pride developed cancer of the bladder and had a biopsy last year. He wanted to do the black salve method as he was far advanced.. Pride also used raw juice therapy and herbals. We did the salve and all the alternatives, we chanted and prayed and held drum circles. Pride started to improve and gain weight and started to get out and do more activities. He was on the mend. But as usual the state steped in bc of filing for disibility and it was recomended to him to get off alternitives and get into the system and do things their way, which he did to give his family security and to get medical.They took out his bladder and he has been doing chemo, they found a tumor on his spine, they took more mris..
To make a long story short he got off the alternitive program he was on and the biopsy has leaked out cancer cells to his lungs and his liver. He is on 'comfort' care at home.
as ever

I'm so sorry to hear about Pride, Shameless...I know you did good work with him with the black salve...too bad the system stepped in and messed things up.

You all will be in my prayers!!

SH is right-- showing off revealing pictures at the least provides pervos with new wank-off material, and, at worst, may lead them to "play" your mentor.

When you truly need a mentor, he or she will appear-- life is like that.

Not me, though-- I'm mentor right now to five devilish kittens plus three grown ones.

Maybe if you adopt my kittens, InSearch OfMore, they can be YOUR mentors!

I am new to the forum and a guy, and I haven't been wacking of at the picture of the young lady that started this post, either. I have been following all of the replies very intently, however. If the young lady is still looking at this thread then take heart. You opened up a whole can of "mentors" which is exactly what would have happened in a small community / large family / rural or native village sort of way. That is, a lot of people who actually cared and added their two cents worth (before the thread got off topic). I enjoyed reading it because I saw the level of concern in some of the more "mature" or matriarchial members of the list. Rather she knows it or not , I think she succeeded...sadly it may take years and a lot of heartache for hear to realize it. Like I said earlier. Follow the path with heart. They all lead to the same end, but only one will really mean anything and you have to decide what that one is.

OH BAMBOO...
Welcome.

And you are very insightful.

We are a concerned bunch...and we do offer up what we can.
The diversity in our approach exemplifies the diversity of all these forums and the people who post here.

Some of us have been here for years, some not so long but there are alot of genuine wonderful souls who really do care about each other and all who cross our paths.

I have made such wonderful friends here.

Look forward to seeing you around and talking with you.

Thudly, where have you been, them cats must be keeping you busy.. Thanks for the imput, not everyone knows the real bad parts that life can stumble you with. The real hard core of it. I hope they never do experience it like some of us did. The battlescars we carry and the lessons learned the hard way.
Bamboo, I never meant to imply that all men behaved in this manner, it was just a warning. It was never meant to offend anyone gender wise.
I think thudly (being a reformed perv himself) understands what I'm talking about. (just kiddin' thud) feel the Love brother.
I think we all try to help in our own facetical way, each bringing a bit of this and that to the table spreading it out and offering it up for ones to take what they need and leave the rest. Sometimes what we pick is bitter and sour like the cranberry or lemon, each unique in it's flavor sometimes hard to swollow but very beneficial. The same goes for the sugary sweet tastes that goes down easy and makes us smile all over. We take the good with the bad and try to get supper down without too much whining. We must walk in balance.
