Leela Corman 3,244 Report post Posted May 24, 2017 Since this came up in a comment on a thread elsewhere here, I'd love to hear from the rest of you how you figure out when you're meeting an entity mate, both in person and online, since we so often find friends online these days. I'm C1E2 and I have definite feelings about my entity mates when I meet them. But I am having a hard time putting those feelings into elegant words; mostly I'm coming up with words that feel reductive and most likely not entirely accurate to every single person in my entity. However! I'm going to do it anyway, and hopefully people will add and share and expand, in whatever ways feel appropriate to their own entities and experiences. I crudely think of my entity as "The Punk Entity", which will make no sense to some people. To be really clear, I'm using the term "punk" in its broadest creative, social, and cultural meaning. I'm not talking about mohawks and spikes. I'm talking about the very vast subculture that sprang from that, but is so much bigger and includes so many other subcultures. My close entity mates all seem to have a connection with this underground way of living, connecting, writing, publishing, making music and art, and creating living spaces. I feel like they all have a signature that I'm having trouble describing, is it a color? A texture? Man, this part is a little frustrating, because I feel like I have access to something really cool that I want to share but I don't know how! The entity mates within TLE whom I've only met online, I've sensed a definite resonance with. It's like the way I feel whenever I meet anyone else who grew up in NYC in the 70's and 80's. We're like, "Oh, yeah. You know." God, see how inelegant and imprecise this is? I mean, you may be a C1E2 person reading this and saying, "But this has no resemblance to my life and interests!" There are roughly 1000 of us in each entity, surely we don't all like the same things. This leads me to think about cadences and greater cadences, and to wonder if we feel those cultural/aesthetic resonances within those moreso than with entity mates who might be "farther away" from us in the structure of our entities. This is a very crude beginning. I know others will have much to add and it will become more precise or at least more broad! 17 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavin 449 Report post Posted July 31, 2017 Hey, I am very new here. I have not caught up on the more advance levels of the teaching. I have no idea about cadre or entity. However I do have people around me I have feeling could entity mates. They are all sooo different though. Hard to see how they could fit together to make whole except they just do. Empathically I feel connections. Whether they are entity, cadre or purely past life associations, I am not adept enough to determine. Something in me just senses something. Over the last 20 years I have been lost in the play. Coming to this site is me beginning to seek where I left off years ago. I am hoping to reconnect with the part of me that has that inherent knowing. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is like trying to return home or at least retract the steps one has done over the years to find where it was left off. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bogi 3,678 Report post Posted November 7, 2017 7 minutes ago, Gavin said: Exactly! Below is my FB profile picture Well, when I was around 11-12, I was very much into astronomy and the possibility of future space explorers and foreign life forms. I was quite weird. I was starring at the dark sky in the night and literally calling out "Please take me with you." Then puberty hit and I sort of learned to relate to my contempories. I became happier that I sort of fit in. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Below is my FB profile picture Oooor ... as Michael said to me: "The Old Soul feels the distance between the life and Home and presumes there is a distance to go. The work is not in coming Home, but in Becoming Home. One of the last things to be understood and learned is that you never left. You are Home. You are an extension of Home." ? 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickG 3,471 Report post Posted November 8, 2017 I know what you mean @Leela Corman. Fellow C1E2’er here. Now that I’ve met a couple more people from our entity I definitely recognize that flavor but it’s hard to define. Your punk comment resonated though! I’m trying to think how I would define but but the words escape me right now. I’ll get back to it when I have something in mind. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But really ??? when I got my first profile done years ago by Hoodwin on his site I remember reading about C1E2 and had that exact thought. At the time, I thought of the entity as the cool kids on the block ? Edited November 9, 2017 by NickG 6 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SharvariJ 1,382 Report post Posted January 9, 2018 I met someone at a Christmas party the other day who I'm pretty sure is an Entity Mate. She came off as cold at first, but eventually, we ended up sitting on the couch being asocial together and watching iZombie. I don't know what it was about this girl but it was the same feeling I've had with multiple C1E2 members. It's some sort of recognition of comradeship, I think? A sort of "I've got your back" guarantee. I was spooked by how much I trusted this girl instantly. She left for the UK shortly after New Year's, but I can say with absolute certainty that we would have become really close friends if she'd stayed. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda 554 Report post Posted Thursday at 02:24 AM I'm creepin on old threads cause I just really fuxking love that I resonate so much with y'all! Everyone I've met from C1E2 has been so much fun to interact with, online and in person! Literally "my people" and I couldn't be more thrilled to have found and been able to put words to!

CurvyWords 1,825 Report post Posted Thursday at 02:49 AM Here to confirm our universal punkness! There's a certain flavor to C132 for sure, I like to think of us as those dissonant notes in the symphony that standing alone kind of seem out of place but in the grand scheme of things we make the song have way more texture and interesting bits to it. Like we're that little weird ingredient that takes a meal from normal to like Special haha. We just kick the dance of incarnation up a bit. There's a counterculture vibe to every single one of us that I have met and I love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
