Date a man from Blythe, United States. I have been reading profiles for the last couple of days, and I have seen that most people are searching for the same basic attributes in others. What they want is simply morality. Morality is derived from compassion. When the seed of identity is opened, the true self is revealed. This is the" I AM" that is felt in the heart of all living beings.There are many names for this experience. All religions point to this. When this is directly experienced, not just conceptualized, compassion is a natural state.
Just as many utensils are made of the same metal, so are myriad beings made of the fabric of SELF. God is many, and one at the same time. This is beyond human reason.
Once touched, the spirit pervades personhood. I seek the living God. I live a spiritual life of simplicity. I preface this profile with this statement of
my perception because all the characteristics sought in others are answered in this. I respect all pursuits that lead to Mindfulness.
I am not attached to any doctrines of men. I am a Christian, who has practiced zen for almost 50 years. I hope that this does not sound too serious, or pretentious.
This online dating thing is new to me. This is the third time I have tried to enter my profile. I kept timing out! How do you summarize 60 yrs. in a page. I write Haiku poetry which consists of 14 syllables. One must be cryptic, and sometimes esoteric, to make one's point. Now that a declaration of basic decency has been made, I can move to other considerations. I am on here looking for a new companion, and possible last mate.
I have worked in law enforcement for about 20 yrs. following many years in sales and management. I am comfortable in any social situation and can talk to anyone, and make them feel comfortable, I do not judge. I have good discernment, having worked with people all my life. I love to laugh and see the positive in all things. I am gratefull for all that life is. I do not take myself too seriously, and enjoy someone who can make me laugh at myself. I enjoy almost any activity. I like fine dining, as well as, cooking at home with someone special. I drive a jeep and like to plan trips taking us by hwy,dirt roads, and trails so that we can see things that would be inaccesible by regular vehicle. Don't worry though the Jeep is comfortable and has the amenities.
I like movies, art, and museums, and just fun places to visit.
I am looking for a companion for adventures great and small. I adore women who are strong, confident, witty,intelligent,humorous,and kind. I am generous because I am blessed. I enjoy robust good health. I eat healthily, but splurge when I feel like it. I am a natural protector and will always make you feel safe.
Staying home watching a good movie, or going to a formal gathering is all the same to me. I am confident as a man, and have nothing to prove. I am not looking for what they now call a "hook up". I am not in a rush. I am well beyond that stage. I want a fun friend to share life with, and perhaps it will develop into a lifelong relationship. Sometimes I like to be wild, and sometimes I like to be quiet and introspective.. I have a passion for photography, and have a business specializing in portraiture. I do charitable work in this area providing professional quality portraits for kids who might otherwise not be able to afford such. I am planning retirement, and I will continue this business wherever I end up..
In truth forms are inseparate. Inseparate are omnipresent being and your own form. Realize each as made of this consciousness.
Each thing is perceived through knowing. The self shines in space through knowing. Perceive one being as knower and known.
I am not a teacher, nor a preacher. The beauty of my garden is invisible. I do not try to change people, unless they begin to ask questions. You will not know about my views, except by how I treat others.
