"I love working out, but I suppose this too is not the same as sitting with me even if I dont talk with anyone?"
You are right, it is not the same. Sitting with yourself is essentially meditating. LISTENING to yourself (IB and Source...or if you prefer IB while connected with Source, not as separate). My IB so wants to tell me something beyond what I am 'hearing or seeing' outside of me. I have not listened. I think the reason for 'blah' feeling.
LOL I wish I could love working out. I think I did once in my life :D, I just do not renember when.
