Did you physically see a person lift up off the ground and levitate it the air with no support whatsoever underneath their body? I am wondering if it is a real thing one can accomplish and not a magical illusion and for what purpose would a person want to levitate. Why do people if it actually does occur, why would they want to levitate, what benefits are achieved ...etc ?

The chakra I have a basic understanding of and "Qi" is life force, I think (?) ... so if filling the upper chakra's with 'light" or a spiritual life force makes a person float up, whole body and all? Again, have you witnessed this occurrence, for what purpose do people do this?

Bowling!

Please accept my apologies Betts if I offended you in any way in my mistake.

I feel the same as you too, I do not judge or look down on people that prefer or have a FWB relationship either. To each their own in what they choose.

Hi Vivian,

Yes you both are special and I know you are too. We just see things differently on this matter. I am glad and it is good you have found what you are interested in relationship-wise. We all need someone and I see looking at all the responses there is reasons why and limitations that each desires in a relationship. Nothing wrong with that either.

You may have a good FWB arrangement but not all relationships may turn out the same as it is for you. Some men may be in a FWB just to be able to have a variety of sex partners and may be the only reason too for a FWB; in this case a woman not you but the other woman the thread starter referred to. Some people do not like commitment and just do not want to be committed to another ... or for other reasons. That is fine too. In all cases I agree with friendship first before any kind of relationship develops, a FWB or a commitment relationship of full union with one person for life.

With benefits of sex component in a FWB, is something I do not want to take a risk with either for it gives opportunity for another to have other FWB relationships at the same time making a partner vulnerable to health risks. A FWB allows for the relationship to be open to the invitation of sexual diseases. Maybe not through a perosn's direct FWB partner but he/she may of slept with another lady who slept with a guy who was infected with AIDS, ...etc. When you have sex with the person you sleep with, you have slept with all their past or present partner(s) too, fact. All sexual diseases are passed on via bodily fluids.


I prefer a commitment relationship of loyality, fidelity and trust. I have had it before in my life with my past husband and I am sure of finding another man who wants the same and lived a similiar life and that is with fidelity, a one-to-one full commitment to each other only. I would give up my freedom and other things that comes along living a single life for a total committed married life any day! Both worlds I have experienced, the single life (without sex) and marriage, both good worlds are my experiences and seek the same type of relationship. Marriage worked before and is hard work but the benefits are the best. It worked for me and it may not of worked for another well, but it did for me and I will would not in any circumstances ever change my mind or have a FWB relatioship.



A FWB is just not right for me and never will be either.

Alleoops, I do not think OBE and Levitating is the same thing (?). It is more common in the eastern cultures isn't it? Do camels fly there?

amusement in comedies

If someone asked me to be a FWB, I would say no, not interested, a turn off. Different strokes for different folks and I am in the, no to wanting a FWB relationship.

I think you will have to relook at calling FWBs a common thing. For, if you look at your reponses per person by number, the tally leans greater on the side, no to FWBs.

It is interesting to see that a woman wants a FWB rather than a man, for it seems like it would be a man thing to want FWB more so than a woman well, with the exception of Vivian and Betts but then, they are special gals you know

Even if you look at the responses there were more woman replying than men and I wonder what other mingle men would have to say on the subject of FWB to see if it is a more so woman or man thing. Could be a genderless desire too.

Congratulations Debbie !! Nice going too

ditto, "sweet"

Hi Tazzops,

A good friend of mine is into orbs and ghosts, who has a friend who went to Gettysburg and has all sorts of equipment you speak of and I heard pretty well the same info as you related to us on this thread upon meeting her through my friend who is mutual friends.

A few months ago, my friend bought me a ticket and took me on a tour with a scientific team of "Ghostbusters" called "Entity Seekers" who have a registered business in our City consisting of a Nurse, ... and other profession professionals types of people with University degrees. An awesome team for sure. They set out to educate and explain to the tour group what is real and what is science related events, taking us to parts of the City where there were and relating their investigations and incidents. Only a very small percentage is acutal ghost problems or sightings where people, businesses, call the Entity Seekers team to clear or rid of spririts that are hanging around. A majority of the cases are scientifically explained as i.e. electronics or other means as the problem and not ghost related. A very small percentage they say are ghost related problems and a majority of the time it is not ghosts but other things that aree the cause of what people suspect are a ghost. I am new to this kind of stuff too.


This last weekend, all day Friday and for part of Saturday, I went to my first "Body, Spirit and Soul" Expo. A lot of interesting speakers to listen to on Phenomena and the Paranormal, booths to ask questions or do things at. Lots of material to pick up to read ... . There were workshops going on too. Our City has these expos twice a year. My experience of it all, wonderful and eye opening, and a known skeptic. Some things I put to the side, some things I took to and some things I just walked on by.

My friend and I had our Aura photos taken, her idea. (This is new stuff to me too.) A woman who was taking the picure of me and my aura was taking a very long time to take my picture and comparably so to the others whose pictures were taken before me. We were in a line waiting. The picture taker told me why after she took the picture. She was seeing a woman standing behind me in her 70's holding a white rose saying she loves me and she is always with me. The lady asked if I knew who that might be. My mom came to mind. My mom would be in her seventies. My mom died when I was 23 years old and she was around 47 years old when she passed on. The woman taking the picture said the white rose in her hand symbolizes purity.

A couple of years ago my daughter, who is married and has two pre-school children told me one day, Grandma, (my mother), was at the dinner table one night while they were having supper. She did not see her but knew it was her with them that night. She told over the years now and then grandma was visiting with them.

I was thinking of my Mom while at the Body, Spirit and Soul Expo on Friday, especially during a talk prior to getting the aura picture taken. Her death was sudden and tragic. She drowned. The speaker I was listening to, was telling the audience about his involvement with Military (USA?) Stargate project and, The Monroe Institute - Canada: Gateway Voyage. He was telling us about his two near death experiences stories and of OBE and other things and abilities from these experiences he has had in life... He is the author of the book which tells the story entitled "Eyes of an Angel", Paul Elder. I have not read it yet.

Paul drowned when he was a boy of 12 years old. It was so comforting to hear him tell his story explaining the how and what was happening as he was dying while he was drowning. My mom's death always saddened me in the way she died for, I always thought it must of been so horifying to drown or die this way. According to the Paul, it is not at all and likened it to being in the womb experience as when a baby, a natural way, to enter life and to die. I could not help but was crying for it was good to hear his story which helped me understand her death which I needed to hear, that she did not have a horrific death when she was dying. It was a happy cry.
