Thank you for this insightful video. It provides a lot to meditate on. It's tricky to navigate the present "spiritual" climate and community, as it seems we've just begun to make the choice to dig our heads out of the sand. When you peek your head up and see the light for the first time, there's a tendency to just go wild with it. So much flashiness about past lives, healing, and idea sharing can easily crowd the core meaning of spirituality, which at the end of the day, is just making the most out of the present moment/incarnation. As much as I'm tempted to binge videos, book series, and hyper-sensationalize the wonder of it all, it always rings true that coming back to the present moment as the point of power and living in simple gratitude is THE way forward. Not "healing the past" but more powerfully "relating to time" is wild to think about. It's a hard switch to make. Why are we so often compelled to dwell on our wounds instead of powerfully creating the present? It really illumines the magnificence and importance of making empowered, informed choices right now. I quite appreciate your distinction between identifying as healer and making loving choices. There's so much personal baggage wrapped up in the desire to be a healer, to take on the pain of others. For some reason, that seems to be socially incentivized as noble. But does God/Creator really want you to throw away your power/autonomy/well-being to "help" others? It really begs the question of what it truly means to help another. And to paraphrase, "How can I make a loving choice for both of us while utilizing non-violent communication?" seems to be the answer. Maybe the foolhardiness of "I'm going to heal the world!" is a stepping stone on the way to a clearer perspective. Maybe if everyone respected and accounted for their own energy/creative capacity first and foremost, the latter would be taken care of.

Beautifully put, Tyler. I do think that if we can take care of ourselves first (and that does include healing our own wounds so as not to spill onto others) and meet others as lovingly as possible, we go a long way to healing the world in a genuine way. Thank you so much for your thoughtful engagement.
