It blows my mind how real this is.
How in a very true way,
There is an infinite supply of love all around you.
And the only reason it's not experienced is because of an innocent misunderstanding that doesn't see the self or reality clearly.
There's a confusion.
And this is perfectly fine because this is in part why we're here.
To heal the confusion.
Which is to say,
See things more clearly.
This is a form of evolution.
You are here evolving consciousness.
And so it's important that you have something to play with.
Which is confusion.
Which is misunderstanding.
And so this container of love that is all around is holding space for you to go on this great adventure of healing.
Which is wild because we can think that we're here as a human being to go off and do this,
That,
And the other.
Which is really just building some fantasy character of ourselves that we think matters.
When really,
The journey is so much more sacred than that.
It's so much about love,
This whole thing.
Which in another way could be said,
It's about coming home to the love of what you are.
And the more you come home to it,
You discover that you not only are that love,
But you have an immensity of love to share with everyone around you.
So you discover this great gift,
And then you spend your life giving this gift away to others,
And there's an infinite supply.
What an honor to wake up and see that.
To see that this life is not about who you think you are,
Which is the source of all your pain.
To wake up and see that this life is about love.
It's about what's true.
That is so beautifully sacred.
And it's always been that way.
And it will always be that way.
What a beautiful invitation to surrender all the nonsense and come back to the real heart of what you are.
And it's incredibly helpful to meet this pain with somebody who can hold space for you.
Then of course,
We can think,
Well I don't have anyone who can hold that kind of space.
But yet at the same time,
We're not going first by being vulnerable.
It's like you're not even indicating to life that that's needed.
That need will not go unfulfilled,
But it has to be expressed.
And of course,
Even to enter into that space requires you going first into the vulnerability.
Do you see this?
It doesn't work the other way around.
It's kind of like saying,
I'm not going to be vulnerable unless I know what's going to happen.
Well,
That avoids the need for vulnerability.
You see,
The mechanism of this is that you see how deeply profound and true these things are and you surrender everything else because you see that this is the most important thing.
This is the most true thing.
And to the question of,
Can I hold space for myself,
Yes you can,
However,
There's the obvious trap which tries to hold space for yourself because you're afraid of being vulnerable around others.
And so we can playfully pretend like we're holding space for ourselves,
But yet the clarity doesn't really arise.
We don't really get in touch with the pain.
I'm not saying it's not possible,
And in some way you're engaged in a training process that's teaching you how to hold space for yourself and others.
The real core of this,
Because I can't just give you a list of 10 things to do because I don't know who I'm talking to,
The real core of this starts with just being deeply honest about what's going on inside of you.
And then deeply acknowledging the truth of the situation,
Which is what invites you to lay down all the blame and introduce a forgiveness,
Which again is simply seeing the truth that there's no one to blame.
That's real forgiveness.
The world's idea of forgiveness is,
I forgive you because I blame you.
Real forgiveness is,
I now see that blame isn't necessary.
You're not at fault for the stories I tell about myself.
