Life Beyond the River: Guidance for our Times

Monday, January 19th, 2009

LIFE BEYOND THE RIVER
Commentary & Guidance for Our Times
Copyright 2004 – R. Michael Ozair

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move ourselves in the opposite direction.”

Albert Einstein

Introduction

While there continues to be enough violence and insanity in our post election world right now to warrant the urgent need for any shift in consciousness that we can gather, there are no hints of this shift in consciousness in the newspapers or political front.

Humanity is in a vigorous phase of global challenge. The acceleration of time and the increased energy frequency on the planet are creating volatile change and rapid transformation, for others, it is being experienced as near psychological meltdown. Pressurized change in a short period of time is usually confusing and chaotic. When energy shifts, our perception of reality shifts. When our reality shifts, our relationships are tested and our circumstances can be shaken to the core. And yet, some of us are nevertheless attempting to keep awake, or at least make everyday life somewhat manageable.

It is during these times that we recall what the Kabbalah calls “Life Beyond the River”.

Life Beyond the River

The classical Kabbalistic text, the Zohar, teaches that in order to create a meaningful world, G-d ran a “River” through reality, “separating” His Divine presence from physical existence. This River acts as a Veil and it is the source of all concealment and confusion. Our world is therefore referred to as an “alma d’piruda,” a “world of estrangement.” (Zohar 1, 22A).

The “River” or “Veil of Separation” runs through three areas of existence: olam, shanah and nefesh, meaning time, space and consciousness. The River runs through every moment and every thing. Each fragment of physical reality has its spiritual counterpart, but it is separated, or obscured, by the River.

In spite of the separation, a person is still granted the power and vision to stand before these veils of separation and gaze beyond the River, to the Source of all Life, receptive to the breathtaking scope of a Divine Reality.

How is this done when the Veil of Separation is still there? Sarmad, a 17th century Jewish mystic from India, explains, “The Light of Life, which is the essence of G-d, lies dormant in the mineral world, lies in a dream-state in the vegetable world, is awakened in the animal world, and comes to full consciousness in man.” This “Light of Life” is what we call nitzotz HaShem, a “spark of the Divine” which exists within each human. It enables us to have a direct connection to Source, beyond the River. Once we can make a direct connection, we need not fear the turbulence of our times.

The Zohar comments, “Your ancestors had always lived beyond the river…and I took your father Avraham from beyond the river…” (Joshua 24:2) as meaning “The children of Avraham, Ivrim (Hebrews), are those who have crossed over. They have vivid memories of life beyond the River.”

In spite of the ability to make our direct connection to Source, beyond the River, many of us tend to still turn away and settle into life on this side of the River/Veil, thereby creating an all pervading sense of the triviality of everyday existence. This is because it is easy to forget when one is challenged. The “side-effect” of being a spiritual being in a human body is that since we have descended to the physical realm of existence which contains the furthest and densest frequencies in the universe, it will take deliberate efforts on our part to return ourselves to our true soul nature.

The Quest Always Begins with Our Quest-ions

Many of us are beginning with just the questions:

What can we do to help? How can we personally contribute to the creation of a world founded in love, not based in fear? What is my purpose? Why am I here? Why are all these things happening to me?

If we do not know, we may feel an unidentified sense of frustration or urgency. “But be assured”, Reb Nachman of Breslov teaches, “that if you are asking these questions, you are already part of the solution”. You are being guided. The nature of your contribution will be made known to you in divine timing.

The real problem is for those who are not asking these questions, who have buried themselves in self defeat, anger, victimization and often, a desire for revenge.

For those of us who want to “remember”, it is important to discern between thoughts and attitudes that create inner peace and those that perpetuate inner conflict. We must be careful to choose behaviors and actions that create life, not destroy life. Since our inner realty creates our outer reality, our contribution begins and continues in our minds and hearts, when freed from anxiety.

Once this is done, the game and our purpose in it becomes more interesting.

Our Purpose

Many people today are finding that their purpose is to serve as pillars to hold the space of peace in this cosmic moment in Earth history. If you are one of these pillars, do not underestimate the importance of your assignment. Love can only manifest on the Planet through our attentive embodiment of peace and light. May HaShem bless you in your efforts. Continue to carry out your mission with diligence wherever you are posted and appreciate yourself for volunteering for this assignment. You have chosen to be in this world, at this time in history for a reason.

Other people are being given more action-oriented assignments. You are being asked to serve humanity by orchestrating or facilitating specific projects. Several people in our fellowship worked very hard on the recent elections. Your efforts have not been wasted, but rather applauded and blessed by the realms above, in spite of the outcome.

Piscean Age Still Grasping Tight

Remember, that it may take time for many to adjust to Aquarian Consciousness. Many still cling to the Piscean Age energy. Pisces, the age we have been in for 2000 years (and are exiting), is symbolized by the Fish. Fish are animals that swim in schools. When one fish decides to shift directions, each and every fish in the school turns simultaneously. It is the epitome of conformity, or “herd mentality”. Nothing is questioned. The mob rules.

Aquarius on the other hand is symbolized by the individual who draws water from the well. Water, in Kabbalah represents both Chesed (Loving Kindness) and Mayim Chayim, “living waters”, the Torah term for Spirituality.

Always remember, our attitude will facilitate or sabotage our best intentions. So we must not fall into the trap of blame, but rather focus our resources for taking responsibility for your own lives, and our most dominant vibration at any given moment. If we don’t take responsibility for our own need to spiritually evolve, we are going to play out our unexamined fears and anger individually in dysfunctional relationships and traumatic life experiences. Collectively we will join the others in expressing our unconsciousness darkness, contributing energetically to the present day storms of social conflict, wars, abuse and exploitation.

Television networks learned long ago that you couldn’t make money delivering good news. What sells is crisis. The worse the supposed threat from terrorism, plane crashes, economic collapse and crime, the more people will be glued to their sets. In reality, only the smallest percentage of people are going to suffer from terrorism, midair plane collisions, homicide or even highway fatalities. If you look at statistics, life is safer than ever. But you would never know this from the evening news.

One of the ways, the old Piscean Energy is most successful these days in keeping the old order intact is by pumping us with false images which keep us on the run, make us hyper-vigilant to threat and distract us from our real opportunities. A new era of planetary tolerance and well-being would arise if we became as “consumed” by healing as we are to stress and fear based, politically motivated media bombardment.

KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER

There is No Avoiding “Creating”

Not doing anything is still doing something – its just that now our energy is being used to reinforce itself and continue in its old ways. Many create for themselves darkness, negativity, and even depression in not allowing themselves to grow.

A sure sign that we are living this way is when we find ourselves stuck in “reactivity”. Reactive behavior is also a choice in “creating”. It is still fueling a certain outcome, thereby “creating”.

The question to ask ourselves is whether we feel it is of our highest benefit to create from a position of reactivity. Reactivity is a state we automatically go into when we are not doing our work, when we go back into our “default” state. When we lose focus of the Sacred in our lives and no longer see the relevance in our current life predicament.

Our other choice is to periodically focus on the Divine in our lives, in life beyond the River. In doing this we will become inspired once again to participate in a Divine Plan and Purpose.

Learn to See Everyday Life Tensions as a Recycling Process

The Kabbalah teaches that we grow by “recycling”, by taking in lower forms of energy and converting it into a higher forms….

The same way a tree, bush or any blade of grass on the earth takes in a poison such as carbon dioxide and converts it into oxygen, we too are expected to take in life’s “poisons” and recycle to a higher, more refined outcome as a result.

In life, newly harvested truths often grow out of a garden of emotional lows. The important to remember here is that when we are down, there is only one direction to move, and that is back up!

Lurianic Kabbalah sees the “getting back up” process as crucial to the evolution of the human soul. It understands the very energy involved in the grappling with everyday tension as the drive behind the liberation of Divine Sparks, which are shards of light trapped within material existence. The only way to elevate Creation itself is by moving into the darkness to liberate it. This is often why very spiritually evolved people are the ones challenged by the biggest difficulties. It is NOT that they are being punished, but rather chosen.

Celebrate Even the Smallest Victory

It is understood that as a result of the Veil/River that separates us from Divine Reality, we have no way of knowing how much our smallest victories could be affecting its spiritual counterpart in the Higher Realms. We have no idea of what shifts we are creating in our overall soul evolution, when taking responsibility for our energy even in the “smallest” everyday tasks and challenges.

Patience is More than a Virtue, it is a Necessity

Remember, sometimes reality has to catch up to your intentions. Whether we like it or not, we live in a time-bound existence. Relax, and don’t throw away anything that you tried, where it didn’t seem to coordinate as you felt it should in the time you thought that it should. Being patient is all part of a new consciousness for many of us. Much of wisdom comes in intuitively knowing the “what” as well as the “when”.

Final Thought from Albert Einstein

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest–a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

Equality

Monday, January 19th, 2009

What is Equality?

Are men and women really equal to each other???????????

Please read on to find out!

Anatomically-(physically)——-both are different.

Physiologically(relating to sex-hormones)——–both are different.

Genetically ———both are different and have different reproductive systems——(xx=female)——(xy=male)

Biologically-(sexually)——-both have different needs.

Emotionally——-both react differently to situations in day-to-day life.

Mentally——both think differently about values of life or otherwise.

Socially and Traditionally——both have different roles and duties to perform in society—-Man is basically the Bread-winner and Provider—–Woman is basically a care-taker(nurse).

From the family view-point—a man(father) is considered as the head(intellect) of the family and the woman(mother) is the heart of the family.

In chinese mythology—- The female force is represented by Yin(negative force of the universe) & the male force is represented by Yang(positive force)

Everything about a man and a woman is different—-right from their physical appearence, their needs, the duties they perform, the roles they play in society, and even the way they procreate —- in the act of creation (sexual act)—man is the active partner–the sexual act being initiated, maintained, completed and dominated by the male(man usually in the superior position)—while the female is just the passive recepient—and conceptually too man being the ’seed’ and the woman being the ’soil’.

In Hindu mythology—Man generally represents Aasman (the sky)—while the woman is Dharti (earth)——man(purush) is known as the Creator(rachieta) and the woman(prakriti) is his creation(rachna)—Can the creator be equal to his creation???????——Man is the possessor—-woman is his possession—Can the possessor be equal to his possession?????????

God and Mother nature have created and endowed man and woman with absolutely different qualities, attributes and functions——So can anyone please throw some light on ” Any aspect in which man and woman are equal” and should be treated as equals?????????

Your thoughts are eagerly awaited

Xbox 360: A Revolution in Console Gaming

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

It wasn’t so long ago that kids who got the “new” Nintendo 8-bit gaming console or the Sega system for Christmas were the envy of every less fortunate and burned out Atari owning neighborhood playmate. As time elapsed, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and NES’s Turbo Graphix 16 became all the rave. Anyone now in their twenties can recall being impressed by the awesome advancements in playability and graphic display of the Nintendo 64 and Sega’s Dreamcast system, and even more recently (only five or so years ago) the advent of Microsoft’s Xbox, Nintendo’s Game Cube, and the Play Station by Sony. The Video Gaming industry has made great strides in the past twenty years: from slow-moving, barely recognizable forms on screen in original Atari games such as Pac-Man, Calga, and Tron, to the extremely vivid and life-like graphics of Tomb Raider, Splinter Cell, and Tekken; available for the Xbox and Play Station. Now, just in time for Christmas 2005, Microsoft has made the next move in the continuing race for Video Gaming Supremacy with the introduction of the Xbox 360. The result is truly phenomenal.

The Xbox 360, as with all video game consoles, is basically just a computer with hardware and software dedicated to the function of running video games. The original Xbox was pretty much just a Microsoft PC with a modified Pentium III processor, some powerful graphics and audio capabilities, and a modified version of the Windows 2000 operating system, all packaged in that distinctive black box.

This year Microsoft has released two versions of the Xbox 360: the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Core System. The Xbox 360Core System is “plug and play”, that is, that in addition to the console, it includes an integrated controller and an AV cable. The Xbox 360 (not the “Core system”) comes with a wireless controller, an HD AV cable, an Ethernet connectivity cable, a headset, a media remote, and a removable 20-GB hard drive.

For anyone who thought the original Xbox was a technological marvel, you must try this out! As amazing and realistic as the play on the first Xbox was, the Xbox 360 makes its predecessor look tired and worn-out. Microsoft has rebuilt the Xbox from the ground up. From the name to the look, from hardware to features, the Xbox 360 is a radically different and more powerful machine than the original Xbox. Far more than a video game console, the Xbox 360 is a total media center that allows users to play games, network with other 360 owners; rip, stream and download all types of media, including high-definition movies, music, digital pictures and game content, as well as play DVD movies and audio CD’s.

The Xbox 360 will revolutionize the gaming world. Microsoft has definitely set the new standard in video game technology.

Eggs: Cholesterol Time Bomb, or Nature’s Wonder?

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

With a single egg nearly reaching the recommended daily limit of dietary cholesterol, including them in the diet will cause your cholesterol level to skyrocket. Right? According to modern research, it appears that is not the case. The latest research seems to indicate that consuming eggs produces little, if any, risk of raising cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol in the diet does not necessarily produce high cholesterol levels in the blood. Unhealthy fats raise cholesterol levels in the blood. Cholesterol in the diet is actually necessary for many bodily functions. If we don’t get cholesterol in our diet, the liver will be forced to produce it.

Eggs have a high nutritional value, and contain all 9 essential amino acids needed to make a complete protein. In fact, eggs set the standard by which all other protein sources are rated. One large egg contains about 6 grams of protein, only 70 to 80 calories, and is low in fat.

Eggs contain lecithin, which helps break down cholesterol; methionine, which aids in preventing buildup of fats in the arteries; and manganese which helps the body metabolize fats. Including eggs in the diet is believed to help lower the risk of breast cancer, cataracts, and macular degeneration.

Free range eggs tend to be lower in cholesterol and higher in some vitamins than commercially produced eggs, depending on the quality of feed (junk in, junk out). Free range eggs also tend to be higher in healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

To avoid salmonella, cook eggs thoroughly. Also, eating raw egg whites interferes with the body’s absorption of biotin. Raw eggs should never be eaten by children, pregnant women, the elderly, or anyone in ill health.

America’s uneasy relationship with alcohol

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

This NYT article discusses some of the cultural and business
issues related to alcohol consumption. It states that:
“Americans have often regarded drinking with a kind of unease
that gives rise to contradictions and dissonance and boomerang
shifts in attitudes.” Consumption of hard alcohol sagged by
roughly 40 percent between 1980 and 2002, but in the last few
years distillers have geared up to advertise on cable TV, even
though television advertising of hard liquor had long been
taboo. The article’s summarizes Americans’ relationship thusly:
“Policies regarding alcohol have been shaped by sometimes
clashing beliefs. Personal freedom is valued, but a puritanical
streak lingers. There is trust in free markets but also a
wariness of treating alcohol as just any product.” The NYT
article does a great job of recapping the wary relationship that
America maintains with alcohol. However from a health point of
view there isn’t much controversy. Anyone who has a tendency to
abuse or overuse alcohol should stop drinking. period and the
minor health benefits claimed by very moderate drinking are far
overshadowed by the dramatic health problems caused by alcohol
abuse. You will lead a far more productive and healthful life if
it is free from frequent use of alcohol. Zero alcohol usage is
the right answer for many.

Heliskiing Is a Stimulating Style of Enjoying a Snowboarding Holiday

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

All right one is searching for a fresh mode to savour snowboarding? You’re run down by the the same old trip, the snowboard cable car and then snowboard straight down the black run which every body is snowboarding? One needs to try heliskiing. One can see pure skiing domains that barely any others get a chance to snowboard.

So what is heli skiing? Heli boarding is snowboarding, only rather than catching a chair lift to climb to the summit of the mountain, you jump in a chopper. Heli boarding affords fresh untouched slope for your snowboarding enjoyment.

Typically heli-boarding trips necessitate a little group of snowboarders headed by an experienced guide who recognizes the terrain. Snowboarders are flown to the top of the area to be tackled. {They disembark and ski to the end of the mountain. On reaching the end you are greeted by the whirlybird to enjoy a different descent. They could enjoy a lot of runs on a good day. It is a gratifying and invigorating experience on which you’ll see vistas and undergo excitements other people can simply dream of.

Heliskiing is not without perils. Since you’re snowboarding outside of conventional skiing pistes there will occasionally be unseen hazards. You will likewise encounter a graver likelihood of avalanches. Fortunately many of these dangers can be reduced when you go heli-skiing with a seasoned snowboard guide who knows the slope very well. Therefore if one is staying in accommodation then the chalet chef will be able to arrange heliskiing for you. One can go to Chamonix Rental for extra info.

Ben Franklin and Rosicrucian Dragons – Trepanning

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Ben Franklin will always appear to be a great man and he was that indeed. But he was not just the founder of America or The Enlightenment Experiment. He was one of the founders of the New World Order along with Pierre Dupont de Nemours who he negotiated the armistice to end the British campaign against their former colony. This in fact lead to a union and alliance that still rules the world but in a far more complete manner than the British Empire ever did. I have dealt with many intrigues he was part of and I have personally enjoyed conversing with his descendants. His drawing of the line to include Isle Royale as part of the United States is very important as any reader of my book on the Old Copper culture will know. He was a man who enjoyed his sex and the rituals of the Rosicrucian Dragons a great deal more than most. In the following quote from an article in The Guardian we see ‘trepanning’ again. Of course the authors might think this is only part of some anatomical research but I suspect it is part of sexual and psycho-spiritual rituals just as I have shown occurred in these nether regions of esoteric behaviour for many millennia. The trepanned head of the Merovingian King Dagobert allowed him greater psychic attunement and despite Franklin having been part of the witch hunt against Anton Mesmer and his use or exposure of these secrets I know Franklin understood what trepanning really was suited to achieve. And I know they are reported to still eat human thalami at some meetings of the Skull and Bones Society. Sir Laurence Gardner makes it clear that store bought desiccated animal sources do not serve their needs as well as human brain parts do.

“Benjamin Franklin’s house: the naked truth

Restoration reveals secrets of American campaigner

Maev Kennedy, arts and heritage correspondent

Monday August 11, 2003
The Guardian

Some time in 2005 visitors will be able to visit the tall narrow Georgian house in the heart of London where Benjamin Franklin once sat stark naked by the large first floor sash windows, “air bathing” and thinking about bifocals, electricity, economics, American politics, British diplomacy, or how to get the fire in his back room to draw better.

It is a fair bet that however passionately interested the visitors are in the political history of American independence, and the intellectual history of the Age of Enlightenment, what will transfix them is the windowless basement room, once part of the garden.

As restoration work by the Friends of Benjamin Franklin House began on 36 Craven Street, a Grade I listed house rescued from the brink of tottering collapse, a small pit was found in the basement room. A human thigh bone was found.

The coroner and the police were notified. Excavation continued. More human bone surfaced. And more. And more, until more than 1,200 pieces of bone were recovered.

Since the bones were too ancient to trouble Scotland Yard, they are now in the care of the Institute of Archaeology, where experts have already determined that they range from an old man to a human baby. Several skulls have been trepanned, and arm and leg bones chopped through.

The most plausible explanation is not mass murder, but an anatomy school run by Benjamin Franklin’s young friend and protégé, William Hewson. He had been a pupil of the most brilliant anatomist of the day, William Hunter, but the two fell out and Hewson started his own anatomy school – at the home of his mother-in-law Margaret Stephenson, just off the Strand, where Benjamin Franklin was also a lodger for 16 years.

He had a rich source of subjects at hand: the resurrection men could deliver bodies stolen from graveyards to the Thames wharf at the bottom of the street, while there was a weekly public execution at the gallows on the other side of the garden wall.

Benjamin Franklin, who was interested in absolutely everything – he was lucky to escape killing himself or his guests at the demonstrations of electricity he was wont to give during dinner parties – must have attended the public dissections. {For Dragons like the later Skull and Bonesmen who like Pierre Dupont de Nemours and Rufus King would be into the same ritual I trace and Gardner admits to.}

Hewson died young of blood poisoning after he cut himself during a dissection.

Franklin eventually returned to the United States, but was estranged from his abandoned family, and separated from the illegitimate son who shared his London years when Franklin declared for American independence and the son was exiled for his loyalty to England.

The house was less than 30 years old when Franklin came to London and rented the best first floor rooms, where he was visited by all the leading figures in radical politics, science and philosophy.” (2)

Franklin was also a member of The Hellfire Club and you should know about John Dee and the Necronomicon as mentioned in this excerpt.

“John Montagu, Lord Sandwich (the face in the halo) and George Selwyn, (a close friend of Horace Walpole who visited in 1763) were among the inner circle of twelve. One of the female members, Lady Betty Germaine, became a particular friend of Walpole’s; through her Walpole acquired one of Dr. Dee’s celebrated scrying stones, the Angelic Stone, now in the British Museum. Mary Wortley Montagu, Lord Sandwich’s grandmother and a member of the earlier Hellfire Club, was also said to have been a member.

Satirized in the novel Chrysal, or the Story of a Guinea by Charles Johnstone, and referenced in Charles Churchill’s The Candidate, these Medmenhamites were a probable influence on Matthew Lewis’s The Monk.

Benjamin Franklin joined the group on occasion and collaborated with Sir Francis to revise the Book of Common Prayer or Franklin Prayer Book still in use in America. Franklin was also associated with the radical Lunar Society which included Erasmus Darwin, Richard Edgeworth (Maria Edgeworth’s father), and William Godwin’s friend, Joseph Priestley.” (2)

Do you have the plan to purchase a new speedboat and expect 17500 euro

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

You should be clever today to examine if you have a super bargain or if you don’t with the merchant bank that offers you a credit loan.

Translated in Dutch: Woon je in Veenendaal of Opmeer en hebt u BKR. Lenen met en BKR codering is nog nooit zo gemakkelijk geweest. Koop een ander huis met zonder bkr toetsing geld lenen, 305188 euro is altijd mogelijk om te lenen. Van Bergambacht tot Albrandswaard, geld lenen met en BKR codering kan hier altijd.

8.4 percent loan rate may come out so middling but will that be changeless after you have to give back your credit loan. Now you can suss out rates quickly online and enter if there are possible traps you should know about. A moneylender in Council Bluffs Iowa or so may have a total completely different actual rate for a 32500 dollar deferred payment then a bank in Berkeley California and that makes a huge clear gap in your weekly pay backs. This is the reason why now you really need to check into and foresee if you can have a money loan at a secure percent interest rate. It doesn’t matter if you live in Lynwood California or in Appleton Wisconsin a safe online investigation will preserve you often a lot of incommode. Check out to see if the merchant bank who is tending to give you a loan is respectable. Many of the moneylenders wil show you a rate of interest that is looking beneficial but feels disadvantageously or so after a while.

What If You’re Disappointed When You Meet In-Person?

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Online dating can really be amusing. A lot of people even find it workable and gratifying. In fact, there are more benefits other people do not realize unless they try online dating themselves.

However, not all online dating escapades produce positive results in the end. There are instances wherein the expectations sometimes go out of hand when executed in reality.

Take for example the case of a person who was lucky enough to find somebody he thinks is the right girl for him. He replied on her profile and when he received an answer from the girl, they started to communicate frequently.

What happens on their online dating is a series of continuous communication, exchanging messages, chatting continuously, and spending hours over the phone.

Because of the instant chemistry that evolved each time they talk to each other, the guy had emotionally built up the possibility of having a true, and not virtual, relationship with the girl. That is why he decided to set up their first real date.

As they day came when they agreed to meet for lunch, everything seem to have crumbled into pieces. The girl appeared to be somewhat different what the guy had expected or recalled. What made the meeting even worse is that what used to be a cheerful, lively conversation they usually had whenever they talk on the phone or chat in the Internet suddenly becomes so stiff and strained.

And as the date comes to an end, the girl said that she had a nice time and enjoyed the day. The problem suddenly draws in. The guy does not know what to say or do.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in the world of online dating. There are many cases wherein two people just don’t click when they start to meet each other in person.

A lot of people who are involved in online dating usually ask why such things happen. They find it hard to believe that the person they have learned to like (and love) online is entirely different when in person.

Hence, they try to assess themselves what went wrong. Is it their point of view that has changed? Were they deceived by the other person? Or was it just wrong from the very start?

The problem with most people who indulge into online dating is that they fail to keep in mind that when they communicate to their dates online, they are communicating, not with a person but with a series of texts, with no person involved. This is because any answers can always be fabricated or the other person can always deceive his or her date.

So, when this happens, personal meetings would really end up like the one mentioned above. This is because reality is entirely different from what the computer screen illustrates.

Nevertheless, the problem is still there. One should know how to gradually exit from the situation without having to hurt the other person’s feelings.

So, for people who wish to know how to do this, here’s a list of some useful tips that you can use and make rejections a little easier to bear.

1. It would be better not to delve on the issue about not having the right chemistry in the first place, or pointing out the reason why an individual cannot pursue the dating any longer.

In order to break things easily, it would be better for a person not to mention anything that will focus on the issue of not getting the expectations one had started to build before they even meet in person.
It is wrong to emphasize on the physical qualities of the person that is why the other person does not want to communicate with him or her anymore.

2. It is best for the concerned person to try to explain to the other person the importance of finding each other’s right mate in order to build a happy relationship.

An individual should at least try to make an extra effort on explaining how chemistry works with two people and that lack of such value could be detrimental in one’s relationship.

3. Excuses will only make the matter worst.

Rejections should be instigated in such a way that the other person will not be hurt. However, this does not mean that the person will have all the right to make such lousy excuses.

There are instances wherein the other person can sense the effort in making lame defenses and would only be hurt more.

4. People should be more consistent on their decisions.

There are instances wherein people start to tell the other person that their relationship will not work, but in the long run, comes back rushing into the other person’s life because of the realization that he or she is wrong about his or her decisions after all.
This will only make the matter worst and will only generate negative feelings.

5. it’s best for the concerned individual to let the other person express his or her sentiments and ask questions. Then, the concerned person should try to exert a little effort in answering the questions as honestly as possible.

The bottom line here is that when a person gets disappointed after meeting his or her online date in person, it would be better to set things straight at once and put an end on the situation before it gets heated up.

Moreover, the other person should learn how to empathize with the other person so as to understand what they would feel if they were on their shoes.

It is all a matter of being sensitive at the same time being honest on what the other person would feel.
