Teal Swan: Reality

Reality (and why it is so important to face it)

There is such a thing as physical reality and non-physical reality.

Reality is beyond what an organism can perceive.

Objective reality is the amalgamation of every subjective reality.

Grasping objective reality is dependent upon you being able to expand your perception and perspective wide enough to accommodate all subjective realities.

In order to get beyond subjective reality, you have to transcend beyond "I".

You have to be able to accommodate all subjective perspectives. Not just "yours".

We have to differentiate between objective reality and a consensus reality.

Both objective reality and subjective reality are actually really valid and important levels of reality.

We are trying to integrate subjective and objective reality.

Objective reality is a co-creation.

Objective reality must accommodate for contradictory truths. Because this Universe is multi-dimensional.

9:50

A truth that exists at one dimension of this Universe doesn't exist at another.

The objective reality is this Universe is: Death exists. It also doesn't exist.

The main goal of awakening is to become more and more aware.
The capacity to present and hold contradictory information.
Free will is only possible with genuine awareness.

Our perspective must become more and more accommodating.
That includes accommodating of the truth that all of us must accept that we don’t know, what we don’t know.

Your only access of power is by accepting reality.

It's only if we see the reality that our petrol gauge in our car is empty, that we can stop and fill it up with petrol.

You can only make a genuine change from inside reality.

Intentional and conscious creation of reality has a place in your life and in your spiritual practice. However it should never replace your commitment to seeing objective reality, and subjective reality.

You can continue to alter, and continue to expand your subjective reality.

There's a lot of ideas floating around the spiritual community that there is somehow some contradiction between awareness, and creating your own reality.
These are the concepts that need to be integrated.

We need to be willing to create our own reality, at the same time as have complete awareness.

So face reality. It’s not a contradiction to creating your reality.

Theodore Roosevelt Quote

Jillz Guerin: How To Be a SOFTER WOMAN *without losing who you are*

How To Be a SOFTER WOMAN *without losing who you are*

1. You first have to start within.

You have to start being soft to yourself, and have a soft inner dialogue.

When you change the internal, the external naturally comes along with it.

How are you speaking to yourself?

Create that inner softness within.

2. Let down your defences.

Do you get defensive easily?

To be a softer woman, you need to be able to let down these defences sometimes.

Get into the mindset that you don't need to prove anything to anyone, and that you are loved because of who you are.

3. Embrace vulnerability.

You should be able to open up, and show that emotion.

Not being afraid to show these emotions is one way that we soften.

A soft woman embraces these waves of emotions, and lets herself feel grief, or anger, or overwhelm, or happiness, or joy, or excitement, or whatever it is, and isn't afraid to let it out.

We don't need to hide our emotions.

Letting that vulnerability come through sometimes is one way that we soften.

4. Slow down.

Not everything is a race, and not everything is about achievements and hustle.

You don't have to rush.

This allows your nervous system to relax a bit, and feel more calm, and centred.

Be present in the task that you are doing.

Slowing down and being present will automatically make you feel like a softer woman.

5. Soften your body.

Your body and your mind are interconnected.

What happens in the mind, happens in the body, and vice-versa.

Let your body relax.

6. Conflict doesn't need to be tense.

Conflict can actually be a very healthy thing sometimes.

Challenge yourself to soften.

It is doable.

It's usually just someone feeling hurt.

7. Have empathy for others.

We do have to have boundaries, but it's good and healthy to have empathy for others.

You can see that any sort of unnecessary lashing out at you, it oftentimes boils down to a feeling of hurt or pain, and it's a reflection of something going on within themselves.

8. You have to be able to trust.

Trust that life is working out for you.

Trust that God or Universe is on your side, and is protecting you.

A lot of this hardness comes from a feeling of unsafety.

To live your happiest best life, you have to learn when to let go.

You have to learn when to surrender.

You have to learn to trust.

Sometimes not trying to control everything is one of the most powerful things that you can do, and this trust, this surrender is what's really gonna bring this softness out of you.

Molly: Living an Authentic life - why I no longer compare myself to others

Living Authentically - not comparing yourself to others

1. Figure out what your idea of success is.
We are all completely different.

2. Spending less time online.
It has made a ridiculously big difference.

3. Find a like-minded community.
Be really intentional with the time you spend online.

4. Practice gratitude.
Our lives look really rich.
The basic is being able to breathe.
There are so many things that a lot of us can be so grateful for.

Elle: how to radiate feminine energy - do nothing

Feminine energy traits are affiliated with nurturing, love, receptivity, compassion, and care. 

Being energy, rather than doing energy.

You're not doing anything actively, it's just that you being is already doing something.

Peace. She is at peace, and so she brings peace to others.

Start minding your own business.
Memorise this line, “That is not my task”.

Whenever you feel the need to fix a man... That is not my task.

Can you not pick up other people’s tasks?

If there's gender roles that you don't want to fulfil, then find a man who shares similar values as you.

The bare minimum task that a man needs to be able to do is to provide.

And if he can't do that, it'll be very hard for you to be in your femininity in a relationship.

Get out of this energy of trying to prove yourself, because you are enough as is.
And the moment you realise that, you feel so at home in yourself. So at home in your body. So at home in your femininity.
Being in your feminine, is less about doing and more about being.
Because as a woman, by existing you have so much inherent worth and value.
You existing is enough.

Personally, it was the most difficult part for me to accept that I am enough as is.
I don’t need to do more.

I’m already enough.

Being in your femininity is less about doing, more about being.

Women are useful without doing anything.

Just by existing around men, we confer a lot of status on them.

And using that status that we have conferred on them, they can now access more opportunities.
You are giving him clout simply by going on a date with him.
And then you’re going to pay, can we not do that?
You are already paying just by existing with a man. That’s your payment.
You gave him the opportunity to access you. That’s your payment.
You have so much inherent worth and value.
All you have to do is exist.

And it's always the men who want to exploit you, and take advantage of you that want you to devalue yourself. They are the ones who tell you that you're not this enough, you're not that enough. You are of no worth, you are of no consequence.

But what about the value that we bring?
What about the risks that you incur simply by going on a date with this guy?
The safety risk?

I too can pay on a first date, but I don’t have to.

Stop proving yourself to people. Just exist. And let the people who find value in you be the ones to access you. Why are you surrounding yourself with people who you have to prove yourself to?
Once you get out of this proving yourself energy, you will feel more at peace.

Femininity is not a costume.
Being a feminine woman is less about how you dress, and more about how you are with yourself.

Jillz Guerin: THE ART OF RECEIVING *feminine energy must know*

THE ART OF RECEIVING

If you cannot allow yourself to fully receive, you will likely have a hard time receiving love, feeling loved, and that's something that every human being deserves to feel.

If you can comfortably receive, your relationships will improve, your stress levels will improve, and life can get a whole lot easier, and a whole lot more fun.

1. Start practicing on the little things.

You can speak up when you need help.

2. Be in a constant state of gratitude.

There is always an infinite amount of abundance and love in this world.

Believe it. You will naturally be open and receptive to the good things that come into your life.

Shifting your mindset to a state of gratitude will naturally make you a more open and receptive person.

3. Remember that not everything needs to be or is meant to be transactional.

Sometimes you can just receive.

4. It's helpful to see the good in people, and not assume that everyone always wants something in return.

Sometimes people will have motives for things. You always have your boundaries.

Let go of control.

This energy closes you off from accepting things into your life.

This energy closes you off from accepting help, which everyone needs sometimes.

It closes you off from letting the Universe work it's magic and bring miracles into your life.

Doing it all burns you out.

This will allow you to start receiving in ways that bring more joy and ease into your life.

It can also help you to receive what's meant to come into your life for your Highest good.
