I really want friends to have deep spiritual conversations with

The best kinds of journeys IMO are the ones that two or more take into the unknown like traveling on an exotic adventure even if it's just down the street. There's a kind or spontaneity or electricity that comes when minds are open and nobody knows what to expect.

Nice.

Well, you do quote Ray Bradbury in your signature so your ideas come as no surprise!

Were you open to that connection at the time?

Kinda feel the same way, as only one or two of my friends are interested in spiritual things.

I still feel a bit lonely without having any soul mate (although we are all one), somewhat like you, but I decided to shift my perspective about it. Just my two cents<3

Yes. You're absolutely right. Often when I go out, I turn off my expectations, and tune my attention to those I am with. I have met a lot of interesting wonderful people that way.

Hey I remember that story when I was in middle school

Hi olhosdeamendoa

Was I open? Good Question. I thought I was but then my results say differently. I won't say that I don't meet good people at meetup, but it's like magic when you meet those special ones. Your guard slips away, and it's as if you can read each others thoughts.

I've been going through the same thing and went to some meet ups, very nice people but just like most humans these days it seems they are not looking to invest in friendships outside the activity themselves. One did but he actually wanted a date and I'm married so that didn't develop into the friendship I had hoped for.

I'm considering starting a meet up listing it in the metaphysical area but making it not so much about doing metaphysical activities but normal friend things just with people already on the same path.

I'm not sure how I would set that up but I figure there are a lot of us now on this path that could use some less structured interaction with like minded/hearted folks.

I never wanted to know about 'normal' things like chakras and so forth, because as I knew when young there is a lot of talk but noone is really getting anywhere.

And I don't want to expound on my own thoughts ad infinitum because I get burned when I put my hand in the fire of 'the way things are'. Geez I do it here way too much and all I can think half the time is when is enough enough?

So there isn't too much I could think about that I'd want to talk about, at least not in the words everyone knows.

[Nature Grows]

Iv been lucky enough to meet some friends who i can talk to about stuff and who can relate though i don't see them as much as i would like to, but when we do get together its good, the group always has new people coming in and its nice to meet new people who are into spiritual things in person.

Yes I know what you mean. But there are times when we need to be more with ourselves and do our inner work rather than forming new external relationships. That might have been the case at the time.
