Lol I don't, but if you connect the dots... he owns his own successful business, which I'm pretty sure brings in quite a bit of loot. My point is, he still chooses to live modestly, which is a rare, noble and honorary choice, in my opinion. Especially in this day and age; in this hyper-materialistic, overtly hedonistic age.

No wonder most adults have childhood trauma and grow up to be traumatized adults who transfer their trauma to their children.

As a survivor of trauma, this is a gross over-generalization. Many, many people can heal themselves from the trauma and go on to live happy, successful lives and raise healthy children. In fact, many people who experienced trauma, often feel more motivated to create a fulfilling life and to become better parents than how they were raised. There's a desire to turn the tables, flip the script, break the cycle of trauma, and create a beautiful life for themselves. I personally know plenty of people who had a difficult childhood/upbringing, but have created amazing lives for themselves. The goal is to heal childhood wounds and to give yourself and your children everything you wanted and were deprived of. Please read my story.

Unfortunately, most people don't do trauma work. I believe that fewer than 5% of people do and that would be a really gross estimation.

There is not much awareness, most people don't even realize that they are functioning from trauma. 

I'm sorry for what you went through, and I'm happy you healed. I am curious, what is your occupation in life? Are you a functional adult?

I also went through a difficult childhood and life, including SA and lots of misunderstanding and hate from people because I am a truth-teller by nature.

I have always had controversial ideas and, as a result, I receive a lot of negativity and still do. I did a lot of work to heal my trauma from humans, and at times I believe that that's it, I’m done.

But then life happens, and I realize that I still have so much to do. And part of that is not because I am inherently flawed (though I'm an HSP, which many people perceive as a flaw), but because society as a system is very traumatizing.

We have a responsibility to heal our pain, and it really works to some extent, but there are also systemic issues that affect us too, especially when the majority of humans in this system act from trauma and pain that isn't healed because it is even not recognized.

@Lila9 Yes, I agree that most people do not do trauma work. For one reason is because it is incredibly challenging work and very difficult. It is true that many traumatized people give up easily because they feel helpless, hopeless, and resort to self-destruction (i.e.; drugs, promiscuity, crime, etc.) However, I did not want to be one of those people. So I chose otherwise. I decided to the hard work until I could finally get myself to a place of deep inner-peace, acceptance, & grace. 

I am sorry to hear you also went through trauma, please feel free to message me anytime if you need to vent. 🩷

I am an assistant counselor. I work 1 on 1 with children with Autism, in addition to pursuing a degree in Music Therapy, that is the profession I am currently working towards. In addition to that, I am a performing musician & singer/songwriter. 

As traumatized individuals, one of our greatest gifts is empathy and we our natural healers. One of our missions is to help others too. Look into the "wounded healer" archetype. 

From my post: Be a humble superhero. Most superheroes have endured great traumas which is HOW most of them even developed their abilities, and transformed into heroes, from overcoming trauma or some kind of great adversity. That can be very inspiring. Are they walking around hating the world and everyone in it? Are they walking around as the villain? No, they're striving to heal, help, and save others. That is the ultimate goal of someone who has truly suffered from any type of trauma or adversity, you are meant to take that wisdom and use it to help mankind; to become a healer. That is the purpose of suffering sometimes, to master empathy, to see it as one of your gifts, and become a natural healer. Find the strengths in your trauma, because trust me, there is a lot. Trauma is a powerful motivator for self-discovery and transformation. Realizing the strength & wisdom it has given you will absolutely empower you.

I dismissed bitterness and vengefulness and chose grace and empathy. And to this day, I choose to walk around smiling at everyone in the world and make sure to treat everyone with equal kindness & respect, despite the horrors I endured. And that is a necessity to me, that is integrity, and it is my will as a human being; my moral responsibility.

If you can look around, notice that all people in life are suffering in their own ways, just like you, (even if it's not on the surface, always ASSUME that they are, because nothing is ever as it seems) and if you can choose kindness, humility, & empathy over anything else, you will be free, you will be liberated, and you will feel more at peace. Embodying grace as a traumatized individual is one of the most profound, spiritually enlightening choices you can make in life

This is beautiful and inspiring.
I think that people who realize they are traumatized and "give up" on healing often do so because they lack resources, can't find good therapists, and lack support (mainly emotional and financial).

@VioletFlame Thank you ❤️

Yes, this is correct. I had my fair share of therapists over the years, and the majority of them were ineffective & unproductive, which only made me feel more hopeless at the time. I think I just got unlucky with that, because I do believe there to be plenty of great therapists out there, you just have to find the one that really resonates, and works and clicks with you. But it wasn't until I did the deep inner-work, self-inquiry, inner-child work, spiritual work, personal development work, etc when I truly started to see the results I've been hoping for. Once you truly learn yourself and truly know who you are, only you can really help yourself I think, at least in the way that is truly effective. No one knows yourself better than you do. And I mean, even a therapeutic dynamic requires interpersonal effort. It's not JUST the therapist doing the work, it's you too. If you can learn to do the work on your own, it gets easier over time, and more natural, the more you do it. You can rely and depend on yourself when times get tough. Yes, it's important to have supportive people in your life, as well, 100%. But I think the true healing comes from within and from doing most of the work yourself. 🩷 You're not alone, always remember that, but sometimes you have to be alone, and be in solitude to really truly listen to yourself and understand who you are and what you need from yourself to heal.

Yes, at the end of the day, they are running a business. I know people who go to therapy and nothing changes. It is truly difficult to find a good therapist, one who is effective, has your best interests at heart, and can provide the exact guidance you need. Many are surface-level. Also, talking therapy alone isn’t always that effective. Really good therapists use more holistic methods that include the body.

Luckily, I never had enough money or trust to go to therapy. I tried it once, and it didn’t feel right.

You are right. We are responsible for our own healing.
I’m an introvert. I look inside myself often. I do shadow work and inner-child work. When I’m alone, I’m more than fine. I also feel good with a few trusted people.

Regarding the rest of humanity, I don’t feel safe around most people. I feel it in my body, something is off. I am so sensitive that if I’m stuck in a room with toxic or traumatized people, I absorb their pain and end up angry, sick, or triggered. Past wounds get reopened, and then I need to rest for a week.

This is why I can’t work with most people in person, only remotely or with animals/children.

Leo is on fire lately 😅 Hard to keep up with all the blog posts. 

I went into Soft White Underbelly channel rabbit-hole, watched tens of interviews, it's really a goldmine.

Good stuff.

Just finished this one. Jesus, it's really eye opening the shit some people go through in their childhood into their adulthood. 

What I like about these inteviews is on the one hand you get first hand perspective on some crazy stories, and also it makes you reflect on your life more. This helps me look outside my bubble a bit.

@Leo GuraI'm practicing tibetan buddhism, especially tantra meditations. I recently found out that the most advanced techniques use the same energy channels as in kriya yoga

Makes sense.

As Yogananda said, God is found in the spine.

Oh hell yes, finally time to take a dump on the looksmaxxing shitfest.

I love how its just a bunch of metrosexuals turbo-chadding old vanity cycles. The younger generation think they have something new here - yeah okay except women have been doing stupid shit like this for THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

It has its own little status lingo elite game also: jestermax, mogging, PSL scales, htn, mtn, ltn, htb, mtb, ltb and it goes on and on. 

Bunch of clowns.

I watched most of his Joe Dispenza investigation. It doesn't seem like he took the time to do some proper investigative journalism and actually attend an event. Not saying Joe is legit, it's just so silly some these hit pieces on spiritual teachers, like of course angelic or light beings or 'entities' are going to seem unscientific to you bro.
