@silvermoonwolf19 yes! That's the Point! It doesn't just Happen.... it takes YOU Practicing it. You don't just LOVE yourself.. you PRACTICE saying it and doing things that take care of yourself and uplifting yourself the way you would a child who you love. Is there anyone you care about in the world? How would you speak to them? treat them? well then do the same to/for yourself and see what happens. Just try it for 1 month is all I suggest.
This is a good video. I agree with this. Meditation is definitely beneficial. I am of the opinion that, since we are all one, in the sense that we are all derived from the same source, Brahma, Buddha, God, whatever, we are all divine in nature, and when we get in touch with ourselves, we can appreciate the "Me" in others. Since for instance you and I are one, just separate by mere illusion, then you come to love and respect others, because they are in effect you, in a spiritual sense.
Well, it's been part of my spiritual path for a while now, and it is something i have been contemplating for a long time. I have a lot of eastern spiritual beliefs, kind of intermixed with western esoteric ideas. It works for me :)
Sisterunity, this is some of the best advice I've ever heard in my life. The make up is creatively beautiful. Great choice in background music. Have you ever read ThePowerOfNow by Eckhart Tolle? It's an amazing book on presence, peace and joy.
I'm transgendered!! And I'm flirting with the idea of transitioning. But what you said I always usually say to myself. As a harsh truth I would call it!
Your speech is amazing :) but Your mask going abit extreme and that music in the back ground is stupidly loud I know, You gone to stupidly extreme therefore will not listen to any body ells anyway kind regard :)
I love your channel, your voice and your face. Please either significantly reduce or remove background music from future videos as it detracts from the awesomeness that is you. :)
Somehow it seems a very wise crone lives in you - it is almost as if I wish you had been my mom - such an odd thing for me to say since I am old enough to be yours. Keep dancing - your a wonder. hugs
Thank you posting your message. I love your balance of humor, wit, intelligence, insight and spirituality. You are beautiful, in every sense, but especially for how much you give.
I notice when I'm meditating and having alone time I have a lot of repressed rage and anger deep within me that needs cleansing out. I think this is because when I was growing up, we weren't allowed to really express our anger or we'd get punished. I think your true emotions come out with these exercises, and at first it might be really uncomfortable but that probably goes back to the 'sticking it out' thing you were talking about before.
very, very, very good understanding. Congratulations. Your meditation seems successfully beneficial. Keep going. Let me know what happens with the feelings you found.
I had similar prohibitions on anger in my youth. It is good that it comes up for consideration and exposure.
Thank you. I trust telling you these things although I don't really have anybody around me in real life (as of now) that will understand if I express certain things. That's not playing the victim, that is just the truth. Or I get told 'everybody has felt that way' which I understand that logically but they don't understand that sometimes I have to vent anyway. It is difficult because emotions are such subjective experiences, so you might confuse people in that moment.
Your new video sounds very deep into me... And I guess you recorded it after my birthday party ??? No doubt, one of my most beautiful presents. Thanks a lot. I don't swear I will do but I'll do my best !
It's funny, in philosophy we're studying Hume atm, and unlike Descartes who saw the self/identity as an underlying permanence Hume thought that the self was ever changing such that the self that you are now is not your self of 10 years ago where the beliefs and ideals that your self held have changed over time, not to mention the matter which is the basis of it. Like everything else, the only permanence here is change. :-)
Actually Hume, according to our teacher, came to the discovery of a lot of Buddhist philosophy without being exposed to Buddhism himself. He believed that since there was no underlying, permanent self that we were instead "bundles" of thought and perceptions that were linked only by their similarity. In essence when we look in our self we think we see a permanent thread of self like "I'm cold" but in actuality it's just the sensation of "cold" that is real, not the "I" that is experiencing it.
The yogins would go further and add that neither the I nor the cold are real. The awareness itself, pure and un conditional, is That which is real. Their experience is that That consciousness is, in fact, common to all, and indeed exists AS all.
I admit that Im playing the nihilist here but meditation is an art that takes years and years of practice and its recomended that you some kind of teacher to help you get basics down. you just made it sound like sitting alone quiet would cut it.
meditation is hard and it can be done wrong. if just sitting quiet works for you then good. all Im saying that meditation should be studied, maybe from a teacher to get the wanted result. you seem happy with yourelf and I guess that proves me wrong but in my case it havent "cut it" and reading and talking to people with years of experience has give me more insight to the matter.
I suffer from panic attacks and meditation and relaxation has been recomended to me by my doctor and I find those practices to be very very difficult but Im learning one step at a time.
We should take this into private messaging rather than comments, but I'd be happy to hear about your practice and what you are experiencing, if I can be of any help with my own experience and practice of meditation. Please feel free to send me a private message.
Great video. Magick is the art of loving oneself. But as Isreal Regardie wrote: 'persistence is the key'. Loving oneself is a discipline, like dance practice, etc.
While I was watching this, it occurred to me that other people say the same thing about loving Jesus. The idea is that if you love Jesus, than you will be able to love others. Some even go so far as to say that if you do not love Jesus, than you cannot love others. I have not found this to be true.
I wonder if there is a relationship between loving Jesus and loving the self. Are these opposite or physical philosophies? (I am not Christian, so my question is purely of curiosity).
Sister- I found your videos about a year ago. I absolutely love what you have to say. Every time I feel down or lost, you have a wonderful story and good words for me. You help me get back in focus.
Thank you -for being the glorious, intelligent, stunning creature you are- from the bottom of my heart.
I always say that "You cant love somone else until you love yourself '' and you can not expect someone to accept you if you do not accept yourself 1st...
At first I didnt get that, I lived my life based on how other thought I should but now its diffrent I guess it took my brothers death to realize that...
I don't love myself. I don't think I ever could.
