So,
You know,
In our families,
Families,
You know,
Have certain rules and beliefs.
And so,
You know,
In my family,
Love got ridiculed a lot.
So,
Guess who got ridiculed a lot?
And it took me a long time to take myself seriously,
In a way.
So,
It is kind of feels like,
Can feel like a sad and lonely and desperate place when we actually get down to what our little child felt like in our families.
And,
You know,
We're scared to go there because the kid was really,
The kid we were was really scared it was going to be like that for his or her whole life.
So,
The child numbed out to it.
And our egos do not want us to feel that again.
But if we feel it again,
It's like it's really important to know,
Okay,
Really,
Please understand that no matter how sad or desperate you get,
You are just clearing the complex.
It's not permanent.
It is impermanent.
And you can climb higher on the mountain.
You keep asking for grace,
Keep asking for grace.
Whatever you can to comfort yourself and support yourself to come out of it.
