Trippy and naked in the forest.

Leave the ship before it sinks.

When I go deeper and deeper into Loa, I feel a strange sense of empowerment, an emotion I can't describe or put my finger to. It feels like I begin to love myself even more. I feel motivated inside. I feel like I am more attuned to who I actually am. I think the first step to any kind of self therapy or improvement should start with knowing who you really are and then what you really need and want, which is kinda obvious. Yet it is all buried, huddled and swept under heaps of stress, worries, trauma, concerns that don't really matter and other trivial things we don't notice as serving nothing but distraction from the true self. Now is the time to take action, or else when? If you didn't live your life on your own terms, what good is this life for anyway? When I read these words, I could almost breakdown in tears, because why didn't the self matter above all? Why was the self taken so much granted? Why was so much expected out of it, meanwhile giving nothing to it in return? Who made these rules? When I contemplate on these questions with tears in my eyes, I feel empathy is the greatest virtue that could exist there, the highest of all. If someone didn't love you the way you would consider to be loved, how do they love you at all? If someone never understood you for who you are, how can they claim to deserve you, to want you? If a person couldn't show empathy, what's the point? So you just let them go because they actually serve no good, serve no purpose, they exist to prove things to themselves, it was and is all about them all along.

Time to get naked.

Enjoys it thoroughly.

Then sit in a forest. Calm yourself down.

I feel tensed, anxious, depressed, tight and just dull in general. First step is to get naked. So the first step is to get naked. Then slowly let loose. Be yourself Now you are yourself completely

Have you experienced (ever) real, brutal, primal fear? And what did it do to you? Didn't you run for your dear life? Didn't you want to do everything to save yourself? Since yesterday I had been contemplating on love and fear. In my deepest moments of fear and panic, I discovered love for myself. I told myself - "please please please love yourself." The ego was not able to comprehend this. Self love is tricky, it fools you into assuming it's selfishness. But you have to love yourself no matter what, there just isn't an alternative. When your survival is in great danger and you're torn between life and death, do or die situations, that's when you discover self love. When you're going off the edge and losing yourself, only two words can save you - "have courage." in these moments of extreme courage, you discover love for yourself. Capture this moment forever. Expand this self love. Be gentle. (when have you really loved your self at all, do you remember?) you starved yourself. Your inner self is hungry and thirsty for love. Go love yourself. That's the only thing that lasts.

Thank you so much Phil. Much love.

What kind of people you should surround yourself with? People who are hopeful. Kind and generous. People who give your correct and wise and productive advice People who give you negative feedback but this criticism has validity and they're actually correcting you and helping you avoid blindspots and mistakes rather than sabotaging you through destructive criticism.

•⊱⊱⊱⊱✸⊰⊰⊰⊰• There are three different that keep us from taking the action that would beneficial to the Self. From now onwards my phrasing will always revolve around "beneficial to the self" and "for the self", "medicine for the self", "healing the self" etc. So those 3 things are — Attachment - you're so strongly attached to something that you just cannot let it go. For example an abusive relationship. There is simply no detachment. You engage into it more and more and then there is more drama. The more you're attached the worse it gets. The less you're attached the less harm. Your attachment is born out of obsession and somehow your mind tricks you into believing that these attachments are necessary to your existence. In fact they aren't. Fear - a general sense of fear that causes you to hesitate from leaving something. This fear causes you to not take a firm action. There's always anxiety around leaving something that you are subconsciously programmed not to. Fear of consequences - you fear that taking an action would cause you to suffer the consequences. Like saying no to a boss who is sexually advancing makes you feel like you would lose your job if you said no. But what you don't realize is that the harm that you are bringing to your Self is much more than those perceived useless consequences. Those consequences don't matter in comparison to your own emotional health and safety.

I'm surprised how everything is falling into place. The answers lie within 3 things. The universe You yourself God Look within you not without. photo-journal-and-art-work
