    1. What do I want? Not what others want. 2. What am I avoiding. 3. What am I the most great full for? 4. What am I afraid of? 5. What are my biggest strengths and flaws? Thank you I will meditate on this. ✨

    I'm always on the search for ways to defeat this never ending sense of disassociation I endure everyday. Someone recommended self reflection but for a long time I put it aside because I fear what I don't have the skills to do. Today I take a step to self reflect to be a better person for myself, my future wife, my team, and my world. Thank you for this... I got emotional answers to every question you asked as I was watching this.

    *copy and pasted from your most recent post but* :) Ollie! Your kindness and altruism and genuine desire to help heal people has touched me so much. I've been in ENORMOUS amounts of anxiety battling with the ego and listening to you speaking has set me completely at ease and able to live in love and shed the fear. Tremendously grateful for your commitment to serving all the beings you Reach. I hear you I celebrate you I am so thankful for you. For future video suggestions, perhaps you could do a talk on twin flames causing/sparking the awakening to begin? This has happened in my own life and I have heard of it happening in other awakening people's experiences too. Also, you could speak on the dark night of the soul, the topsy turviness of awakening and how to navigate the REAL lows that we cycle through as our process deepens. Namaste and lots of love :)

    If you are like me and have trouble communicating with your subconscious, consider looking into Lucid Dreaming. There you will be in a world created entirely by your mind, and can potentially have direct communication with your subconscious as it is manifested by a dream character you can actually talk to.

    1. Why would you do this?; understand yourself; self-reflected journaling; treat it like a prayer; emotional tension 2. Questions to ask yourself 1. What do I want? 2. What am I avoiding?; what we are avoiding is what we fear 3. What am I most grateful in my life?; see what you’re lacking; let the answers come to you; if you don’t have emotional response to that answer, then it’s not your answer 4. What am I afraid of?; if you give attention to your fear, then you can decrease it 5. What are my biggest strength and flaws?; you are not seeing bigger picture

    There's something I learned about myself that I don't like: I'm full of prej udice, and respect people for the _wrong_ reasons. It depends on the person and circumstances. For example, it turns out, I think neurotypicaIs are better than people with ASD. I HATE this about me: I think "lesser" is a word to match those on the spectrum--social skills, brains, personalities, normality. I write them off as inferior and abnormal. And it's not as simple as "change the attitude"; it's *_automatically_* in me, the way I feel, whether consciously or subconsciously. I'm sorry, guys; I'm ash amed of myself. It turns out I also think people who don't have learning disabiIities are smarter than those who do have them. And that's what brings me here. My ex-coworker (E.C.) always seemed like a slow learner, and he has made some mistakes at work. Plus, he graduated at 20 at a small charter school, he still lived with his mom at 28, and he didn't have a driver's license. I'm a student leader at my college's catering business, and I learned that the guy had signed up for a service by himself. I thought it was a bad idea, so I went to our boss. She was upset. Told EC she didn't think he could manage alone and was all "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen" and she told him he needed someone there to guide him. Well, that night, he saved a life and was very quick and resourceful (long story short, to subtract the length). My boss apologized for beIittIing him, said he was amazing, and she believed in him to work the shift alone. But he refused and quit. Told her she didn't _truly_ respect him; it was all conditional and her "He-is-incompetent" view would've stayed otherwise. Well, I'm practically as pathe tic as her. I didn't *_consciously_* think EC was a Ioser. I *_automatically_* thought he was one. Like, I didn't say or think the word about him, but I just felt it in me. But I was wrong. I think noble of him now, but only because of what he did, not because of who he was. I put certain people (auti stics, learning-disabIed, adults who live with parents, etc). on the "weak list" until they do something to impress me. I don't like myself.
