  • when when you really discover what it means to fully accept who you are.

  • All aspect, then that, I would assert, is the discovery off what love is.

  • It's really that simple.

  • Like, you know, it's very easy as spiritually teachers and esoteric philosophers and poets to talk about love as though that is our nature on.

  • I'm not denying that.

  • But it's one thing to know that.

  • Okay, I am love.

  • It's another thing to experience.

  • I am love and the way I've often used for myself.

  • Azan expression.

  • As I say, I am in love and people often will say, Wow, that's awesome.

  • Congratulations on I'm like No, no, no.

  • Like I am in the energy I am in the essence.

  • I am bathing within the quality that is love itself.

  • Yes, of course.

  • I love companionship.

  • I love falling in love with other.

  • That's a fun experience.

  • But to recognize that I am actually held by the essence of love itself, that is, I would say, not only a rare experience, it's an anomaly to the norm, but I would assert its Actually, What we're all here for is to awaken to the fact that I am held by the container of the essence of love itself.

  • And until such time that I get that I will invariably be seeking it through the you know, the adoration or the validation or the reassurance of other, for which reason I will constantly be dependent on what they do or say to the point that everything is now perceived threat on.

  • For that reason, I will be perpetually in a state of exhaustion, which is really a futile battle for me to overcome the fact that I believe that there's fundamentally something wrong with me that's not lovable on there in lies, the biggest pretense of all that I somehow believe that there is something wrong with me on I'm looking to the exercise of the outside world to compensate for that or to reassure me otherwise, which is again.

  • It's a futile plight because if that's how I've defined myself, then it doesn't matter how many millions of people might love me until such time that I really get that for myself.

  • It's a window dressing e.

  • You know, when people are always trying to lean into, like positive vibes or good feelings.

  • They're denying 50% of what it means to be human, right?

  • Which is that you're going tohave.

  • Just by virtue of being a sentient being, you're gonna have a myriad of different feelings, some of which you might think aren't great or the negative.

  • But to what degree can you be big enough as a human being?

  • Toe hold the space, the container of love, just like a really adoring mother does for her child, which she allows all of it to be there.

  • Of course, you may have preference, but there's no judgment of a child that's just experiencing and self expressing whatever is going on.

  • That is the container of love that I want to inspire.

  • That I do inspire for people to bring to themselves such that they can make space for their humanity, warts and all meaning.

  • It's not always gonna be pretty, but that's the nature of love.

  • The very nature of love is such that it actually makes space for that which isn't necessary.

  • Lovable.

  • It's easy to love all the parts of you that you love.

  • It's easy to love the parts of you that you like, or that you think is your greatest features or your greatest character traits.

  • But where can you develop love for the part of you that you find to be in perfect thio part of you that find to be floored?

  • That's the very essence of what love means make sufficient space for all parts of me, even those that my persona, my ego, are somehow belittling, berating or judging that is the antithesis of love.

  • And so that is why it's almost beautifully designed that by virtue of being human, we are flawed.

  • We are in perfect.

  • And if it weren't for that, we wouldn't understand what it means to develop true, unconditional love.

  • Mhm, Mhm, yeah, mhm.

when when you really discover what it means to fully accept who you are.
