The Call of Desire with Nicole Daedone

Embark on a transformative journey with "The Call of Desire" featuring Nicole Daedone, where the concept of desire unfolds as a powerful guiding force in life. Daedone, a compelling speaker, advocates for perceiving desire not as a burden but as a precious gift that can propel us towards the individuals we aspire to become. In a candid exploration, she shares a personal anecdote, recounting a time of aimlessness and despair when she implored desire to reclaim her, even if it meant embracing a sense of possession. Daedone delves into the universal longing to be owned by something greater, challenging the fear that often prompts us to repel desire due to apprehensions about responsibility and the unknown. The video crescendos with a poignant tale about Daedone's mentor, Ray, who imparts a profound truth: "It's all for you. You aren't doing anything for it. It'll get along fine without you." This revelation becomes Daedone's personal awakening to the altruistic nature of desire—a precious gift entrusted to us, urging us to embrace and let it lead us to our authentic selves. Surrender to desire and discover the unparalleled rewards it holds for your journey

I can't speak for the rest of the complainers but I guess my bitterness partially stemed from the fact that this whole situation reminded me of how it felt when I couldn't afford a GT, when the guys were playing in my country. That, boredom plus the stereotype mentioned before and voila! ;-) if you're going to bed already then sweet dreams may I wish you

Hng. I can't even afford my Vienna adventure. I borrowed money for the tickets and the trip that I have no idea when I'll be able to pay back. I guess I don't deserve to be on that show either since I didn't bleed and worked my ass off for it. :P

Naaah. Still no bed. I like to torture myself. I've been running around these days doing all these preparations for the trip, yet I feel like I still haven't prepared anything. Fuck my life.

[gangxbang]

I'll try and blame it on my shitty mood caused by being a prison in my own home for 4 days already. And since you were all discussing stereotypes yesterday (at least that's what I think I saw on my dash) let me just add - Polish people are legit complainers, so now I'm a walking example of that, haha

Haha. I know. One of my fav bitches here is Polish and she always says that. Then pretty much all of the Echelon today were Polish. Well, I guess we're all Polish...

[gangxbang]

yeah, I guess I didn't express myself clear enough back there. And I actually can see your point as well, but still a contest seems like a better idea to me. Sure, people'll always bitch about things but personally I'd rather not win a ticket because I wasn't lucky enough orbecause there were others who put some more effort into the whole competition... not because I didn't have the money. But yeah, I live in Poland, so one way or another - can't be there,lol. Got a bit carried away with this

I think everyone did. I could maybe understand some Americans who are supposed to be there for those other shows those days that they felt conflicted, but people from the rest of the world... IDEK where they're coming from on this one.

Errr. I forgot what I wanted to say. I wanted to say something funny. I need sleep.

hi Sonja,we never spoke before but as I've seen your posts on many occasions and always liked your way of thinking (plus I'm sick at home and dying for some interaction) I thought I may just answer to the reply you made under one of Eszti's posts.I'm pretty sure what you wrote there was more of a provocation but if you actually meant it then let me just explain what my point was. All I wanted to say was that this special church show shouldn't be available not only for the people who can spend

Provocation? Naaah. I just like to see both sides of things. And I think this is one of those times when the rich people are being discriminated for being rich. A rich person can be as much of a fan as a poor person. You said, and I quote "this way not only rich kids would be able to go but real, dedicated Echelon who put some hard work into the project." That just sounds like you're saying that rich kids can't be dedicated and putting an effort in the project. Now, maybe that's not what you exactly meant, but that's what it rhetorically sounds like. (Sorry, philosophy major. You can call it a professional deformation from my part.)

It's a very small show. Just 250 seats. The church couldn't take more even if they wanted to. It's something special, out of ordinary, it's not an actual show in the real sense of that word like the other 300+ ones. Whatever they did with this thing SOMEONE would get pissed. If they had lower/normal prices, still only 250 people could get to the tickets and the rest would get depressed. If they organized some kind of quiz or something for the 'true Echelon', still thousands of them would participate, only 250 would get it, the rest would whine forever. They chose one of the options. Making it exclusive by the price since it's so limited, so now we whine about that context. There would be whining no matter which option they went with. For such a small intimate show, it's a no win situation.

There are bands who put that kind of shows exclusively for celebrities. Who get to go for free. Imagine if Mars did that, which they never would. People would complain even more.

anyway, I really hope you have amazing time during your M&G! it's not like I wouldn't go if I had the money ;-) and all of this being said, may I just add - in this one picture of yours J looks so incredibly HOT, it's one of my favs from this show. Ok, now you can breathe easily - I'm going to bed so no more blabbering from me. xo

Haha nevermind I actually enjoyed it!Sleep well! :D xx

[letowhore]

What J is doing and saying is acting, obviously. It's not like I didn't enjoy the shows I went to, there was lots of great energy and I had so much fun, but just like you couldn't help having this bad aftertaste. I couldn't afford the GT but from what I noticed people are so crazy about it,they say guys are so nice to them etc but for crying out loud-they're not doing it for free!when they're paying you 500$ each, the least you should do is smile for the picture,right?

(3/3)Finally on my laptop so I can finally answer your message(s) properly :)

Glad you enjoyed my live blogging haha! Actually, when I was there, I really wish I had the people I know from Tumblr around me... And it was my way of taking everyone with me somehow ;DI agree with what you say about This is War. I never actually thought about it before. It's a bit of a strange moment to throw balloons in the crowd. Though - the RED balloons would actually match the video somehow. Yesterday the balloons were transparent with rainbow colored dots?! That IS a little out of place indeed. But I have to say it does not really bother me that much haha. Just when you think about it.I'm not sure about the GT meet&greets. I actually think the guys ARE interested in their fans, though it must get quite boring to meet a few hundred of people every single day in this way. It's just that Jared seems to be a completely different person on stage and I still have not made my mind up about that. Maybe he's just as "real" on stage as he usually is... Maybe that's just a part of who he is? But to me it looks like acting, indeed. I do not say the whole "rockstar thing" is acting because he is a genius musician, I'm just talking about his stage attitude right now.I'm still not sure what to think. The show was really amazing and gave me the biggest energy kick. It was amazing to see the band live. But like you say; I do have some very conflicting feelings about it.
