Namaste my brothers and sisters.

I am your brother mystic Tenet the Light coming to you from Houston,

Texas in the Mystic Temple.

In the temple's mystical forest and this temple is called Chuk Lam Meditation Center.

And today I want to share with you some insight about what I have learned through about six,

Seven months of streaming.

I think it's seven,

Eight months now.

I started at the end of January so let's just say February.

February,

March,

April,

May,

June,

July,

August.

So it's about eight months of streaming now on Twitch.

Tv teaching people how to open their mind,

Teaching people how to breathe,

How to meditate,

How to be with themselves,

Showing the practical,

Showing the spiritual wisdom and truth and having people do the work of practicing those truths so that it becomes wisdom.

Because it doesn't become wisdom until we learn the lesson and then we start to see beyond the limitations of our mind.

Today I want to talk about the number one thing that many people,

Some of the most troubled people just don't know this main issue.

And some of the people who are senior mystics,

People who are practicing spirituality and all of the modalities,

Many of them also don't know that they simply don't love themselves.

I'm walking on the bridge here.

And many of,

Because when you tell somebody,

You don't really go up and tell somebody.

First of all,

You don't go up to somebody and tell them,

Hey,

You don't love yourself.

We have a community online.

We have a safe space and we have a place where people understand.

So the place I'm delivering from where I tell people,

Hey,

Maybe you don't love yourself.

Because a lot of people,

Many people who don't know that they don't love themselves don't see the issue.

Because I tell them,

Hey,

Look,

If you love yourself,

Why do you treat yourself that way?

And some of them think that loving yourself,

Loving ourselves is selfish.

And what's funny is I used to think the exact,

I used to think the exact same way.

And that I was so insecure with love.

I was so insecure with love that I didn't know how to love myself.

I didn't think it was possible.

I didn't know it was an option.

But I suffered.

My life was terrible.

I was miserable.

I was taught to prove myself.

I was taught to prove myself that I'm worthy of love.

I was taught that you have to do something to get love.

And the last thing I knew,

I learned was that simply I could love myself.

It was a radical change.

It was a radical change.

Self-love.

Can you believe it?

The way was found within.

There's a cat down here.

And there's a ton of mosquitoes in the forest right now.

What I find amazing is that the people online,

Come here,

Kitties.

What I find amazing is that the people online,

They're willing to do the work with me.

To listen.

To listen to wisdom.

Because they hear love.

They hear my voice.

They hear me speaking gently.

They hear me helping people.

They hear me taking people's issues seriously.

And in return,

What I say and what I do is respected.

And they're willing to see what it means when you don't love yourself.

What are the signs that somebody doesn't love themself?

First of all,

People who don't love themself,

They don't know that's the major issue.

When somebody doesn't love themself,

They're not gonna say,

You know what?

I just don't love myself.

They're never ever gonna say that.

And if you do,

You have found a powerful person who had a spiritual awakening.

Because whenever somebody doesn't love themself,

They're not gonna see these qualities.

Here we go.

Constantly negative.

Doubting themselves constantly.

Loves to see the downside of the situation.

So it's the same thing over and over.

They have a negative outlook on life.

They have a very shallow outlook on life.

The surface level.

They don't know where the source of love comes from because they're so disconnected from this thing called love.

That when you talk to them about love at all,

They get clueless.

Because one of the questions that I ask people who don't love themself,

It's easy to detect people who don't love themself when you start talking to them.

But it's not like.

.

.

Most people don't see it as a major issue.

I don't love myself.

Realize how big of a problem that is.

I don't love myself.

And I don't know that I don't love myself.

You ask them first of all,

Where does your source of love come from?

And oftentimes,

The people that don't love themself will say,

Their family.

Some friends,

But not that much.

And like,

I guess my family,

They'll say it but not clearly sure and some of them just don't know.

Period.

So how do I approach this?

I have patience with myself.

I have patience with them.

People that don't love themself constantly.

People who don't love themself constantly are looking for something themselves,

Not realizing they're looking for themselves.

They'll do everything and everything to look for love but not in their own heart and not in the mirror.

Because the moment they look in the mirror and realize that they've been looking for themselves their whole lives,

They will become free.

But their mind cannot open enough to see that possibility.

And so they stay in the ignorance of,

I need to get love from a man,

A woman.

Everything external.

Buy things,

Nice things to get happiness.

And I call this the be happy later syndrome.

After I get this,

Then I'll be happy.

And many people have the be happy later syndrome.

After I get this amount of money,

Then I can be happy.

After I achieve this,

After I get this,

After I get married,

After I have children,

Have kids,

Get married and buy a nice home.

Then I can be happy.

But when you truly don't love yourself,

You don't even have that vision.

You simply live day to day,

Survival mode in the root chakra.

You're just stuck in the root.

Barely surviving.

Day by day,

Doubting yourself.

No vision.

Looking for highs.

People who don't love themselves,

Often times are also addicted to something.

Number one thing,

Entertainment.

Numbing themselves.

Entertainment numbs you.

Playing video games,

Binge watching Netflix over and over and over,

YouTube over and over and over and over.

Drugs.

Especially cannabis.

Especially cannabis alcohol.

There's so a long list.

But the way to approach somebody who clearly doesn't love themselves is first of all,

You must love yourself first before approaching somebody that doesn't love themselves.

You have to be the light.

You have to do the work of being a shining light.

Before you can work on anyone who deeply doesn't love themselves,

You have to do your own work first.

Period.

If you're looking to be a powerful light worker on this planet,

Master your own self love first before anything else.

When you have done enough work to raise your vibration,

Align your chakras,

Open your mind,

Explore the different dimensions of reality and realize there is no dimension,

Just the now.

Then you start to figure things out.

You start to see more.

And then you learn how to speak more gently.

Learn how to speak with love.

You learn how to speak with compassion.

You learn how to approach negative people in a loving way.

If you don't truly love yourself and you work on somebody who needs love,

You will end up giving them too much advice when all they need is your ear.

People who don't love themselves don't know that.

But what they need to do is empty out their suffering.

Which means you just need to be a powerful listener and ask questions that help open their heart.

Why do you feel that way?

How long has this been going on for?

And tell them it's okay to be sad.

It's okay to be sad.

It's okay to be sad.

It's okay to feel how you feel.

It's okay that you don't have the answers.

But at least you know you're ready to be happy.

That's why you're here today.

So when you learn to come from a place of love,

Because you do love yourself when working with people,

You learn to speak gently.

You learn how to listen deeply.

You learn how to ask the right questions because you ask yourself the right questions to help you love yourself.

You learn to speak,

Not trying to change people.

You speak knowing that they have already made the change.

But you don't force anything.

You just have a knowing that they're going to be alright.

Because the truth is,

Everything's going to be alright.

Every little thing is going to be alright.

Anyways,

This is a little bit about dealing with people who don't love themselves on my live stream and in person.

And I hope you enjoyed this little talk so far with me.

And if you like it,

Just let me know.

And I'm posting this exclusively to the Insight Timer.

Anyways,

Peace and blessings.

And I hope you have a wonderful,

Wonderful,

Wonderful day.

Peace.
