3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION

It's always a pleasure to make Missus day. Three hours in John Lewis Liverpool and you'd think she'd been to Shangri-La. Of course, in her mind, she just HAS been in Shangri-La - and all we bought there was lunch! Of course, once you add in the coach fare, the souvenir Liverpool FC mug (for her!) and a takeaway cold supper from M&S Liverpool, I wouldn't call it a cheap day out, but neither was it unusually expensive for a day-trip.

Due to lack of opportunity, I've now gone three days without an orgasm, and of course in terms of sexual frustration there is none. I could, if it came to it, go celibate for the rest of my life. This is not the case with Missus of course, and I have no reason to deprive her, but even if I was single, I'd still have an orgasm a day anyway, for wellbeing and health reasons.

A good cum every day basically tells the bodymind to keep going, so you age slower and are more healthy, and it considerably reduces the risk of Prostate Cancer. It still remains a pleasurable activity, but takes more work, and for sex, some chemical assistance. 

In a particularly good mood after Liverpool, Missus will certainly be wanting sausage for breakfast today, and the "fast" will be broken. I'm mildly concerned that after three days, there may be considerable mess! More laundry for me I fear!

My first major spiritual influence post-Christianity was Sharon Janis, and she wrote some advice that I have found useful to this day - to live on many levels at once. That means my consciousness knows what it is but also plays this character, albeit fully aware that it's a role. The universal perspective brings peace and balance, and the character is a temporary vehicle for the spread of awareness, in the same way a neuron by sending out impulses to others contributes to the awareness of the character.

What's nice to know is that I've already fulfilled this role - I have passed on both genes and memes, and in the time the character has left, I can spread "bonus" memes and enjoy the character.

To keep the character functional, it requires a challenge, and there are plenty of those, internal and external! None of them however are overwhelming - just enough to keep me alert and practicing healthy disciplines. So then, while this character lives, good stuff will keep coming!
