@Lee Patterson I'm not sure what question to ask thought 😅 I find myself in that really quiet place in myself... Like that space where it's all still and linear, there's no where else to go, you can't really achieve anthing here. You can't improve on yourself, or even put yourself down... It's just this really quiet, calm and for me isolated place. I saw yesterday how being in this space, behind a thin veil, was this vortex to this happy future I've felt connected to a few times... I believe this vision tried to show me where connection happens.

@Lee Patterson Yes. In a calm way... I'd want to just sit with someone next to me, or just feel someone close. To not do anything, just sitting in stillness and to feel... To get more familiar to what it's like to just feel someones presence, to notice what it's like to be able to communicate with someone without words... I just want some time and peace to be in that space... To flow and to play... As a child I recall going to it and needing it too... I guess it's completely normal, but it felt unormal being present like that with my family lol. The next step is probably something like speaking and expressing myself more from this place... I still have a drive and passion to create things, and that part is as much me, but it's like... hmm, trying to merge these two side more? I got no about that right now...

Oh my gosh, sherry please stop getting hurt so often 😅 You make me worried these things will keep happening... Ouffa, please heal up well ❤️‍🩹 Also I would enjoy hearing more about this topic! I'm finding it verry relevant for myself right now... I start to notice that, the more honest I become, with myself and others the happier I feel... It's been great, and it's getting better as I get better at it...

It's really neat and organized.

Hmm, I’d say feel it. Because even if someone is directing their anger at you, what you are feeling in your body is what you are feeling. It sounds like you want to be in a state where you’re not affected, moved, or hurt by their anger - am I onto something? When you say “hold them in love,” what does that mean? Does it mean not feeling angry back, or not speaking up about how you feel? I’m not sure, but I’m curious about that. What does holding people in love mean to you? And how loving is it toward yourself? I can’t say that being non-reactive and potentially suppressing our own vulnerability feels very loving at all. I’d say it’s more important to get in touch with your own feelings about it, instead of trying to hold onto the idea of “holding them in love.” We can feel hurt and angry at people even when we love them. We can acknowledge how we feel and the vulnerability underneath it. Anger isn’t wrong in itself. It’s often a cover emotion - something that protects our vulnerability and tries to pull us out of a sense of perceived powerlessness. Ultimately, I’d say the answer is to connect with what you feel underneath it. “You won’t be able to deal with anger unless you work with the part of you that resists anger” is something Teal said - maybe that’s relevant. But overall, I’m not sure. I grew up in a very emotionally stunted, indirect environment, so I don’t really know what it’s like to have anger expressed very directly at me. But holding onto it doesn’t sound right or feel right. And the answer is probably not to ignore it, but to connect with the vulnerability underneath it. Talking about anger in general, I can recognize feeling hurt and frustrated with my own mother at times. But that doesn’t mean I hate her or that I don’t love her anymore. It just means that certain things she does (or because of my own triggers, or meanings I am adding, my own insecurities) make me feel really frustrated and hurt. Sometimes what helps me is understanding the situation through compassion. But most of the times it's by connecting to how I feel that soothes how I feel in similar situations. the next step might be to express that vunrability, but personally I haven't really done that much becuase I don't really feel that safe to do so with my own mother. But I know it's my own next step.

I really thought about this earlier - how you guys are paving the way. Your journey looked rough, and a part of me thought "geez - I hope I wont go through it excalty like that". But then I realize how lucky I and others are becuase we don't have to start from ground zero. So much of your content can help individuals and couples to get to the root and reality of whatever challenge they are facing. It becomes so much easier. I hope that mine and other generations will choose to contiune on this path, and get even further, only to again help the next generation manage to take it to the next level. It's the natural way things evolve I believe. Hopefully one day the stuff we are talking about here, spending years to learn will be what our future children learn in kindergarden. That it will no logner be this huge challenge but the new ground we can grow from. Imagien what a beautiful world we can make when connection is the soil we grow from :)

@Lee Patterson I would say I feel more calm and relaxed ☺️
