12.13.11 Hugnation (self love v narcissism)
1:00 We are all stardust. we are the eyes of God.
1:04 Now Moment
1:05 "you may not know, but there was a time when i was considered "cocky"" Cockybastard.com. very concerned with "self love"
1:07 "we are all meant to shine as children do." "as we are liberated from our own fear, we allow others to be liberated"
1:08 story of Narcissus. used as a cautionary tale. but is it really so bad..? "we are a fractal expression of the miracle of the universe!"
1:10 in school we learn a story about our history. creates an illusion of a flood of history that we can't fight. we aren't ever really given an opportunity to question this path. just urged to get on board. we need to be wise in our direction of growth.
1:14 self love is the way to break out of the mindset that you are a passive recipient of the universe.
1:17 we need to hear the outside, question it, then make a choice. am i going to be governed by the flow, or make the decision from internal guidance? if you don't have internal guidance.. like narcissus, go back to the puddle.
1:20 our culture tries to convince us that we are missing something.
1:22 we can control only our mind. YOU are a miracle. and you can perceive this. honor that gift! make the choice of greatness. "Go look in the mirror, gaze at god, and see what you have to say for yourself"
1:30 Discussion, "surrendering to the flood" vs "going with the flow"? the "flood" is the progression of mind, humanity, progress etc. Flood is Ego based. most species on the planet fall into balance. a moving balance. humanity shapes the environment to suit our needs. the "flow" is harmony and balance.
1:34 The great forgetting, before we were "civilized" we lived in harmony with nature. nature keeps trying to balance us, we are smart and find ways around. Flood is cutting our own path, Flow is Harmony.
1:37 metaphor within nature- you have however many cells in your body, and each cell has a purpose. if any one cell starts to think they know whats best for the body... that's cancer. when humanity falls into the trap of thinking we know what is best for others, or the planet, or our Ego.. we are cancerous. Time will tell how we learn to heal.
1:39 "people interpret 'going with the flow' as surrender. but it is more akin to tuning into the voice/song within you, and feeling where that current is pulling you, and paddle in the direction it is pulling you."
1:41 follow your bliss is more than just romantic words, it is Instruction. Joy instructs you when you are doing something in alignment with the cosmos.
Profound, as always...
