@Bob Seeker What would your dream life look like ? Begin moving your thinking, feeling and action towards that. And uncover any beliefs which say that it's not possible. Living your purpose and passion is the best thing you can do for the planet. Don't use the suffering of others as an excuse not to be happy and fulfilled yourself.

"after my last trip I hit a very enjoyable upswing in life. I started to get my dating life back on the rails, worked on new art and even looked into getting a nice apartment. " Why not refocus here ? @cle103

You most welcome

Imagine infinite fulfillment for your ego.

Interesting, yes somehow I feel that it would not fear death.

Wow, that actually sounds possible. How do you see things playing out if something like that happens ?

Yeah, there's an interesting technique in this one to help empaths not take on other people's stuff

In the East people tend to value a sense of duty and honor more so than individuality. In the West we value individual expression above all else. It's valuable to surrender to both ways of seeing in order to get over oneself.

Pain is invitation for deeper self love, some part saying: "see me, I need love too"

A cool exercise you can try, is to begin imagining and feeling what it would be like if you had a completely loving childhood. So for example if there was an incident where you were rejected, imagine see and feel that same incident, accept in this satisfying version of the past you were totally accepted by others. It's kind of like giving yourself the love you always wanted by overwhelming the past with bliss. Of course you need to do the shadow work as well. But it really helps to combine it with the bliss aspect to. It might take some getting use to, but with intensity and repetition the results can be very magical.

Why do you believe you need to be deserving of happiness ?

You mentioned BS. The reasons to hate yourself is what I would call BS. You hit the nail on the head, there are no reasons to hate yourself. So what subconsciously perceived benefits might there be in believing that these "reasons" are the truth, when clearly your intuition knows they are all lies.

Thank you

Exactly.
