@Leilani Yes, peace that transcends ALL understanding/the mind. But you're not giving anything up, you're transcending the conceptual reality, shifting perspective from limited to limitless.

@Rilles That's fine. Just be aware of the energy dynamics between the two of you and work on your self-love and boundaries. Staying in a state of cognitive dissonance can really play trick on your psyche in in the long run. Also, read on trauma bonding that you might be taking as love towards your friend. Co-dependent love is more about control and is rooted in trauma. Very sneaky stuff indeed. So stay informed and psychologically equipped. Knowledge is power.

That would qualify for the lack of empathy. Empathic people consider other people's needs and feelings.

@Rilles I didn't say narcissist, but narcissistic personality. Some of the telltales of a narcissistic personality also include lack of empathy and seeing things in black and white. Your friend seems to have those. The narcissistic scale is wide, every person has those traits in various degrees. There also could be mixed with borderline, OCD, etc. We're not trying to diagnose anyone, but to help you preserve your psychological wellbeing and that means learning to discern energies around you and how to best respond to them. You're on the right track

@Rilles Sorry to break this to you, but you are co-dependent to a toxic/narcissistic person. Disengagement would be the best option if you don't want to keep spiraling down emotionally and psychologically. The solution for a co-dependent is healthy self-love, which includes boundaries. When you learn to love yourself, you won't have the need to hang out around low vibration people

What I hope and that's why I didn't lock it

@Galyna No need to apologize, dear. We can move conversations to a new or already existing journals. Looks like this one has run its course.

@Zec Sit with your inner child and listen to it. And give it as much love and acceptance as it needs, continuously. Here's a visualization to try I just created. Imagine you're walking through a beautiful forest, the weather is perfect. Suddenly you spot something hiding under a nearby bush. You get closer and see a small animal, let's say a rabbit, that maybe had been scared or in some kind of distress. You get down on your knees and stretch out your hand towards it. The rabbit shruggs away at first, but as you calmly sit there, after a few moments of hesitation, the rabbit starts to move towards you, closer and closer. You pick him up and hold him tenderly in your arms against your chest. You make him feel safe. You feel the rabbit relaxing in your arms and you notice he's starting to glow! He glows brighter and brighter as he fills with love, trust, and reasurance from you. Finally it perks up it's ears and starts to wiggle his body. You know it's a clue that he is ready to be released now. You strike his soft fur once again, kiss his head and let him go back in the wild. He hopps away still glowing and you notice the fear that was once was present in his eyes is now gone. You remember the place, you'll be back and waiting to love once again, to refill and reassure. Your sacred healing place just for the bunny and you...for YOU

@Max_V Perhaps you have an introverted intuitive personality and are super sensitive to vibrational frequencies around you. Examine them. You might find out you're surrounded by people who don't vibrate on the same frequencies as you are. Also, this might be due to chronic low levels of 'feel good' chemicals. Engage in activities that help boost those - get out in the nature, hang out with a pet, exercise, try smth you always wanted to do but keep putting aside or don't do enough, high HZ music, favorite food, massage, take a trip, etc. Honor your wants! And do it just for YOU!

Hi guys! Could you, please, tune the drama down a notch. I'm your friend, but still have to do my job here as a moderator. This thread has turned into a version of a TV soap opera Let's stay on topics that are relevant to self-actualization through journaling. Thank you!

@flume I needed to hear your words today. "What do I need right now?" And I knew the answer right away too - I need some sleep, more sleep Self-care is not selfish. Thanks for the reminders

What do you think the work Leo's been doing for? Helping humanity raise consciousness individually and collectively is the labor of LOVE. Have some respect and start expanding your awareness. Leo's helping thousands, if not millions, to truly liberate themselves. If he lived 2000 yrs ago, he'd be crucified as Jesus was for his teachings. Mother Theresa was not enlightened, she was a tool of the Roman Catholic church. They funded her missions and used her as a poster child for their religious agendas. Sorry to bust your bubble. You can't talk about suffering without embodying your true nature as LOVE first.

@Galyna @Galyna @DrewNows @zeroISinfinity This is for just Galyna and Zero, so Drew never mind, my phone is acting weird But I think it's needed to be defined what a 'strong woman' means to each of you before you guys pull the plug on each other Also, let's talk about triggers, subconscious, and compassion Sorry @Amit those two need to make sure there is no misunderstanding first

@Galyna @DrewNows There are also those called Intuitive empaths or Super empaths who cannot be out-manipulated. I imagine they would fall into my life path number 2 category, since those two characteristics are dominant there

@Amit HaPpY bIrThDaY! StAy AwEsOmE!

I didn't meditate that much or take psychedelics before the shift in awareness, but had gone through a period of intense suffering and was willing to completely let go and surrender the ego. You're willing to stomach the free-fall into the unknown and not look back. It's true when they say you can't unseen what you have seen. The 'other side' is so worth it losing 'yourself' over. Even when you 'experience' the Relative with all it's drama and emotions, you still stay grounded in that peace and joy that transcends all understanding

@Galyna @DrewNows Yep, that sounds a lot like me Thank you for the reading

@Dario1995 Well said

Yes, great points too!

Haven't had hot cacao in a long time. Yummy, love that stuff C(:

What's the biggest limiting belief about your life purpose that you're looking to BUST?

@SirVladimir

@DrewNows Well said and so true. Let thy food be thy medicine, and use food to sustain and evolve Thanks for the feedback (pun not intended )
