Sounds like you care way too much about what women think of you.

Chris, that is the real question for sure. How is it today a few months after you posted this? How is your buying into the brainwashing going? Have you broken out of that yet?

Larry. You sound very identified with your story. Is that still a truth you carry a few months after you wrote this?

Thanks Brett. I appreciate your personal experience of darkness. Curious how it is today a few months after you wrote this.

Right, that's why I said “if.” Sounds to me like you had good help on board. MAny conventional therapists will indeed believe they are fixing you and that if you only just changed this, then you would be so much better off. That buys into your broken, not whole.

To me it is not "what if." Acceptance = change is what happens from my experience. Acceptance = evolution of consciousness. Until I embrace it it will not or cannot transform.

Your examples are helpful. Yet another one is a rape victim. To them, accepting their perpetrator and what happened to them is a fat bypass. It would be ignoring and invalidating their trauma and hurt. However, the victim is a victim, but does not have to remain one. That only becomes another ego trip which perpetuates stories of brokenness.

Thanks bro!

Brilliant A-ron. Good stuff and congrats on busting out of the mainstream mentality! Keep me posted on your self-acceptance path.

Well said Kyle. All true and valuable comments in your example of the two people. However, it begs the question about what is genuine happiness and is that the goal? Moreover, what is that happy person doing to enrich the lives of others or increase consciousness?

Nelson Mandella to me says it best;

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate..our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frigtens us.
We ask ourselves,who am I to be brilliant,gorgeous,talented and fabulous? Actually,who are you not to be?
You are a child of GOD.Your playing small does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to manifest the golry of God that is within us,it is not just for some of us it is in everyone.

As we let our light shine we unconscienciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears,our presence automatically liberates others.

No one is broken, we just are here liberating one to another!
