Maybe that’s the whole point of ZP and possibly NSE. Radical self responsibility. Probably not though. Just a thought
So basically if your life is shitty its your own fault?
Not your fault, your responsibility
This is a hard one. Speaking from my own experience. Seeing the actions and behaviors from others that resulted in my own dysfunction and basically playing the part of mental janitor to clean up the mess. It can feel like it shouldn’t be my responsibility but it is. I can stare at the mess for my entire life or I can grab the mop and get to cleaning.
Really? I just feel it’s a beautifully heart opening track. Listened to it in 2021 and since LB I made my way back to it.
I found myself looking at that book again recently
I have this written on a piece of paper stuck to my office wall:
“What’s going on in me that this came up in them? How can I be 100% responsible?” ~Dr. Hew Len
Is that the part he talks about the psychiatric ward inmates that he healed, just accepting that he was responsible and doing his Ho’oponopono? It’s a very moving story and so strong.
It was from the chapter called ‘Eating with the Divine.’ A woman shared her experience working with Dr Hew Len.
Okay. Thanks. Will have a look in the book again
fair enough.
Love bomb is pretty neat. I’m making pcc (E:wtp) style power moves while building myself (fortifying my mind and spirit). If some of u are put off by pcc but wanna try it… try love bomb out!
Although the pcc style power moves i’m making might just be my inner power unleashed by love bomb… but even in that case… that’s pretty cool.
Interesting! I have both of these titles in my current stack. On day 3!
I’ll keep an eye out for your journal.
How are people turned off by PCC?
I wouldn’t say turned off, but I feel it’s not right for me. I’ve always been hyper aware of people’s behavior, suspiciously so. Ramping that into overdrive would cause me to dwell on the toxic behaviors of people. Instead I enjoy love bomb because it helps me focus on the good and as a bonus I care about myself more so I’m less likely to put up with mistreatment
I’m turned on by it and find that it’s gonna be a great cycle paired with LB & Seductress.
I’m also doing a 90 day somatic exercise program (focusing on nervous system healing) and also going to do more qi gong & yin yoga practice.
Keeping the nervous system in a healthy balance seems to lessen any of my fearful thoughts and followed actions.
I recommend anyone listening to subs like PCC (TWTP) have some form of daily spiritual practice.
I had a really bad childhood. I’ll just leave it at that for now, because it’s quite painful to address.
As a young adult, I masked myself very well and forced myself to stand on principles, but inside, I was one of the most hateful and bitter individuals you would ever encounter. To shield myself from the pain, I told myself that I would only look out for myself and if I wasn’t hurting anyone, my actions didn’t matter.
That did not work for me, I only found myself spiraling deeper into darkness. Then, I decided that I could spend the rest of my life blaming all humanity for the actions of a small few, or I could broaden my horizons and start refining my inner life to see the bigger picture.
It has been extremely hard work, but I have slowly (and continue to do so) overcome and left behind so much that held me back. My mind expanded in ways I never could’ve imagined.
I can see outcomes that in which everyone benefits and grows from, and bring those ideas to fruition.
Does that mean my life got any easier? No. Infinitely more complicated. The other day, I saw a man in Aldi stealing hotdogs to feed himself and it awakened a ridiculous amount of emotions within me that I did not expect.
First was that guilt, because I had just spent $30 on some ramen and was heading out to grab expensive BBQ. And here is a man who has to steal hot dogs just to survive.
Then came the “shadow,” where I became angry at myself for even feeling compassion, since I grew up in abject poverty, and clawed my way out.
But in this conflict, I see opportunity — the chance to explore, refine and reconcile these two opposing ideas, and then become renewed.
In the context, as my own Zero Point, if my life remains “shitty,” then it is most certainly my own fault. I am now actively choosing to consciously express my talents and personal energy in the highest expression that I know how, if not for any reason than to help those who have suffered as I have.
You once asked me what my daily thoughts were like. The answer is suffering. Isolation. Detachment. But also the burning desire to do good. And that last point makes it all worth it.
I relate to this a lot. I’m trying to be a better person. But that inner conflict of things firing off, sometimes at whiplash speed makes me want to crawl into a hole sometimes.
A lot of the time I question if I’m actually elevating myself or just hitting the starting bar most healthy and well adjusted people get. I’ve still got some nasty spontaneous criticisms that show up and I just wonder what it would be like not having that almost knee jerk reaction and expending mental effort to offset it.
Probably why I’m running LB right now tbh
Added this to my office wall. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this, Saint. It felt like I was reading something from my recent journal entries.
I often feel like what you described with the emerging shadow from the hotdog incident. It’s a part of me that I cannot annihilate, no matter the depths I go to or the heights I land on; it will just be there, no more in control, but there with me. It’s entertaining sometimes.
I also share that same pool of daily thoughts. All I can do for now is continue my practices and remind myself that it’s all perfect in the end، oh, and to not take my melodrama so seriously
