-Jax, wow man, that is an excellent point. That’s definitely how it’s happened for me for many things. Eventually, I start to recognize the pattern and can become aware of when it is happening but yeah sometimes you just gotta go through it to really reach the truth. Thanks for that.
-Ariel, right on man, thanks for the good words.
-Simon, my pleasure, glad to hear that is helped awaken something in you.
-Hey Kai, woa, sounds like some intense dreaming you had going on. I can definitely relate, sometimes the experiences I have while dreaming feel longer than my normal day, and that is not the greatest thing when the dreams are nightmares, lol. Glad to hear that you could relate to this and that you are growing through those experiences. Thanks, oh and by now it’s been a few months since you wrote this comment, hopefully that helped you release that craving of wanting me to respond fast, lol.
-Jared, you are right on that point, I did discover quite a gift with regards to the healing.

Excellent personal insights into these two words. I love the fact that you’ve taken the initiative and done some things that you wouldn’t have normally considered doing. You mentioned the example of healing work with one of your relatives. You never know, you might just discover a gift you didn’t know you had!

PS. I have a “craving” for you to reply to my comment. So… don’t reply to my comment or find a way to reply without satisfying that craving. I’m serious. lol.

Absolutely amazing Ryan.

I’ve been avoiding your blog for a few months (lol, wow, “avoiding” is an honest word there that brought my tears), and now i’m working backward. It’s funny how it works out, cuz i’ve actually been observing “craving” lately… what i found is that i judge myself for trying to let it go, cuz the voices of craving says i need to crave.

Maybe this is the reason you gave up most of media. For me, I got these two conflicting voices in me all the time. Your description is briliant: calling is so much fainter, but all pervasive; craving is strong and violent, but extremely localized. As I’m writing this, I’m beginning to realize that maybe another way out of craving is to be feeling your whole body.

For example, I’ve been dealing with a neediness for hot women for a year (by that, I mean I’ve noticed it to be a neediness a year ago). It prevents me from committing to my current relationship fully, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, it prevents me from experiencing my current relationship fully.

I’ve gone through a period of releasing past couple of months. My relationship magically got better – by that, i mean both me AND my girlfriend evolved. It was intense, nightmares after nightmares kind of intense, but it was fulfilling when I pulled through (I think I did).

Anyways, just wanted to share after reading the post =-)

Great insights Sir Ryan, the in depth explanation of those two (calling and craving) really hit me hard.
