@Truth Addict is there a difference between pushing someone out of your life and driving them away? y’alls discussion brings up thoughts about my relationship with my father

Glad you are sharing your insights. Admirable to see ya doing it in a second language. It’s interesting some people tend to find themselves operating the best in the extremes, either very busy or always chill. For me I am unsure but anxiety kicks up when I’m feeling overwhelmed so if it’s a busy schedule I gotta have it on my own terms ha

Excited for you man. This looks like a great way to practice your vulnerability. I may find myself doing this exact thing sometime soon. It will coincide with more time off the forum focusing on growth. (Sharing my thoughts) the mind has a way of expressing itself to seem all loving and accepting but don’t hesitate in here to express the sides of you you might normally go against or hold back simply to be seen as a friendly open person. I’m finding it’s necessary to express all sides of me to truly grow as a person

Okay well you misunderstand maybe as I don’t advocate any sort of “killing”, only making whole the various parts of us we have suppressed or falsely limited ourselves to

Cheers man. And you’re totally right the title is actually a projection Ps glad you enjoyed that Teal Swan vid, quite enjoyed it as well, never actually thought in terms of superego

A “strong” ego is indeed going to fight for its position. Someone who is open isn’t heavely identified with their own beliefs and can see clearly where another person is coming from. It’s always about healing parts of the self/ego

The hardest thing I’ve ever done in my relationships with others is admitting I had played the “toxic” role Not if they are “worthy” but If they are open to change. What sort of ego is actually open to change?

I saw that man, thanks I’ve spent too much time trying to change other people in my life. If i didn’t understand my own role in their toxicity I would never be able to avoid inviting more toxic behavior into my life

Yes and I’m telling you it doesn’t sound accurate to me

@Truth Addict ❤️? they are unwilling to question their response/reaction to an imposed assertion. Strong may not be the right word, I would say wise/developed or even emotionally mature

@Truth Addict you’re right man. Sometimes it’s completely necessary to push people out of our life so we can heal and grow. But change isn’t about resisting people, it’s about healing ourself, or rather parts of ourself

I feel like when we have toxic people in our life we are often unknowingly a match to them. And the only way to change them is in changing ourself. By doing this they either leave our presence or change for us to be aware of the attention we feed, and the reactions/judgments we have that’s a good start to self reflecting instead of simply pushing people away possibly out of fear or anger

@Shinneed energy in the mornings brother? Do this: I take pieces of this and add it to my warmup routine but I’ve also used it in the mornings too

Isn’t it obvious? He enjoys her charm ?

I’m not so knowledgeable in politics but I am quite enjoying this respectable debate-like discussion and utopian ideas

Deep. Thanks for sharing ❤️ I don’t really have any questions about it. It’s definitely a bizarre feeling when you realize the stories being created around meaning and purpose, then discovering how simple meaning and purpose actually is to manifest

@kag101 hey buddy! I just finished skimming through your journal. I diagnosed bipolar about 4ish years ago. We have a lot in common. Parents divorce is also my biggest trauma. I’d like to chat more, maybe private message great work btw!

@Zigzag Idiot teal swan has vids on it

1 What does it really mean to teach? (especially in spirituality) 2 why do some teachers and people resonate with you and others not? 3 What does it mean to learn? How do we really learn? 4 How does comparing ourselves to others effect our ability to learn? 5 How does other judgments like expectation impact our perception? 6 what part does projection play in a teacher-student dynamic? Answer any questions you’d like

Don’t forget to question why this is your response. This is detrimental to personal growth my friend it’s not wrong to react this way but to know what system of beliefs have led to it is the counterintuitive approach for growth @Omni “taking responsibility” well said

@Truth Addict if Leo’s deluded, you’re deluded. It’s that simple. All there is IS delusion! ? if this is realized there will be no more expectations or judgement necessary

If you don’t mind sharing, what does life purpose mean to you?

@lmfao hmm maybe do the things counterintuitively and let go of the idea of a high consciousness activity, watch the neurotic thoughts, sit with the feelings, completely accept them. The beauty of this work is that bringing awareness into your daily activity will gradually free you from the thought patterns of your mind so you can make more (meaningful) ones or not ha no more resisting!

@Zigzag Idiot ??? I would think maybe it is an appreciated skill culturally ? (if one is to drive drunk they’d better drive well!)

My ideas are my observation I apologize if I misunderstood
