I‘ve been trying for a short time to get into the habit of speaking about myself in the third person in my head for everyday things like: He gotta take a shit. He is angry. He is hungry. He thinks this and that, etc. This seems like a clever trick to create distance. It helps me separate myself from my self-image, my emotions, thoughts, and my body/flesh. Instead of identifying with everything, I see it as an observer: so the ego is no longer my enemy or my master, but a partner in a symbiotic relationship. I remain the one who directs it without letting it devour me. It’s like a game or theater or satire. I build up the ego, push it with affirmations, etc., but I always know that “he” is just the mask I wear to achieve my goals. The idea came to me from the anime “Record of Ragnarok” when Apollo fought Leonidas in the second season. Life is truly limitless, and you can be whoever you want. A huge theater piece. At the end of the day, I can take off the mask and always be who I am, in silence. It’s best to speak of oneself in the third person only in one’s thoughts and not in conversations with other people because otherwise they think you’re a psychopath 😹 But what do yall think about this?

It took a little while, but after some time alone and longs talks with God, I finally love and appreciate who I am. I used to always try to do more and more to receive validation and love from others. A fool maybe, but in those moments I thought that was what I needed to do. I would give, give, and give but always felt empty and open ended. The best way I can put it is I was endlessly trying to keep everyone's candle lit while mine was burning out. Now, I see my value. My value isn't anymore or less than anyone else's, but I wasn't making myself aware of that. I can move through life knowing that my good intentions and love are enough to satisfy my soul. Just want to say if you're currently seeking external validation and love, seek no longer. You are worth it, in every avenue of your soul. Take a look inside you'll know 💜

Hey guys I’m 28 from Vancouver Canada A lot of the stuff Rey covers are things that reaffirm my personal beliefs/ the spiritual path that I’ve been on for a while. I grew up Hindu but stopped putting a label on my spirituality in my teens, finding inspirational sources from different texts in different religions. The one obstacle i deal with is dealing with low frequency, toxic people in a place where you can’t avoid them, like work. These people are ego driven, stuck being a slave to worldly desires, blaming everyone around them for all of their “failures” in life (no overtime, no promotion, couldn’t take a coworker on a date 🥴) In one of Rey’s videos he alludes to God putting these people or obstacles in front of you to teach you. I’ve tried conflict resolution with these types and the insecurities are so loud, with me usually leaving the situation even more upset and confused than before. I have been implementing the grey rock method which I have seen success in. In essence, why give them the opportunity to drain your energy, just be as “boring” as a grey rock. But where people see the rock as “boring”, I see it in peace
