Lovely video @Angelo John Gage and a cool discussion regarding perfectionism A lot of these terms we all throw around on here are ways to describe "direct insight". They cannot simply be spoon fed to people or taken for granted if facing similar situations/problems because they must be relatable to direct experience. So much of our programming (monkey mind, habits/behaviors) operate out of our subconscious and when we do not understand the limitations of thought, it's nearly impossible to become conscious of or recognize our self created limitations, let alone change them. This is where meditation comes in handy because with an increase in awareness and a quieting of the mind, we can start to "see" and "allow" our emotions to flow through rather than turning to thought and looking outward for feedback to validate our perception of reality. With the recognition of our created limitations, we can begin to weed out the unproductive thoughts and replace them with silence or conscious "fun" (self) thoughts

exists at the level in which your mind exists...all dependent on "you"

I think this is exactly what she's doing...she's on the journey

No matter where we go, what we do or learn, or how we grow, we will never leave OURSELVES, not even in sleep

They have different roles...imo (maybe different stages on the spiral) as in either meeting someone at their stage as a life coach vs sharing something for them to contemplate on that cannot be directly seen as advice

@Joseph Maynor I know a well seasoned life coach who has a few books, older guy, goes by “the encourager” and he does seem to implement some spiritual sort of techniques in his connection with people but mainly it’s using his own personal experience and learned wisdom. Honestly he seems more like a best friend, mentor, kind of coach who has a lot of passion for understanding the challenges of others it’s definitely not just over the phone either, a lot of meet ups and stuff

@Natasha have this as my cover photo on Facebook simply because people just don’t believe it’s real

Well it could be but thatd still be assuming others know what’s best for me

Maybe you’re joking ? it has nothing to do with others opinions but my own assumptions/limitations

I haven’t finished reading this but might check it out if you’re interested...written by a psychic medium

Hahaha excellent! Here’s a 1 snap shot (only shot I took at the park) I took about a month ago while sitting on a bench and it completely amazed me (not to take away from yours or anything, but the bird flying in the background was moving fast and was unintended to be in the shot)

Love this. Walk True brother!

Holy shit how on earth did you capture that! Awesome

(More of a behavior than a habit) Hmm I suppose it is “basing my actions/decisions off of what I think is expected of me and not from what’s right for me based off intuition for what promotes growth/expansion and brings me happiness/self respect” I am recognizing and allowing by... Loving myself / radical honesty / getting in touch with my feelings and observing thought-stories

@Schahin you may realize you are free to choose your focus and create your thoughts (perception)...are you Aware?

Rock it in the now mate. You aren’t who you think you are but what is IS YOU

@SerpaeTetra accepting and allowing, realize there’s no right way to be, no wrong way either. Love yourself unconditionally and see what happens, don’t create expectations or intentions about how you should be (can you notice how you create your psychological limitations, just observe it, love it, let it go)

Good point, it can easily become a mind game / power struggle if either party isn’t being true to themselves

Hahaha it’s hilarious man, give it a try. I think it has creative value for sure

Yes conscious men are truthful in their intentions @sargam there’s always some self reflection to be had on whether or not you honestly feel youre deserving of a high quality relationship. Perhaps as Nata states, you aren’t expressing your true boundaries and values, but are, instead, acting, subconsciously, unaligned with what you really desire. Like from a place of fear, expressing neediness or uncertainty about what you deserve
