Yeah, people that cant find love should love themselves then people will love them when that hard work turns to admiration. But alot of times that distaste and disrespect can have a reverberation effect inside the individual. If love is like 2 flames coming together then in order to love, you have to first start with sparking a fire within yourself. Thall shall not kill, thall shall not covet thy neighbors wife and 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (ESV) and Ephesians 5:29-30 (ESV)

LOVE DOES NOT HURT. Betrayal, loss, lies... these things hurt. Not Love.

I have felt shattered & splintered my entire life due to a traumatic childhood. This is the first time I have ever heard anyone talk about it. Thank you, I am subscribing so that I may learn more. This is such a relief to know that I am not alone in this.
Too often love is a transaction. Children raised by an emotionally immature parent learn this lesson early. If you give only to keep them happy and loved, you are doing it for survival. You spend a lifetime giving to others instead of giving to yourself. And you never realize it because to you this is familiar. The blessing in this is you learn to be independent , capable, and strong. The down side is you have to come to a video to find what you missed!

Good grief, *amazing* advice/teaching. And i'm not even Jewish. I have an adopted child who fits this description of a child left insecure because of the detachment at birth (when a baby is abandoned, after "knowing" the birth mother for 9 months, then being torn away, abandoned). She is an amazing girl, loving, successful, etc, but has always had an underlying sadness or insecurity, questions about "why would a woman give up her child?" etc. She loves us, but she still seems puzzled by the question, and some underlying hurt is in there somewhere, i believe. So this hit home. I'm so grateful he/you are teaching this, making people aware of the emotional security every baby/child needs from its mother, and this whole abandonment issue.

I was raised by my birth mom, but also have attachment issues. I grew up always feeling like she didn’t love me. For some reason, she never could bond with me, and I apparently felt it. My dad says I would cry every time she held me, so she always just left to my father to take care of. I feel very close to him, but a mother’s love is necessary, and a child can tell when it’s not there. We have a good relationship, but’s more of a friendship now, instead of the deep love I feel for my dad. Sometimes, adoption is the better option. At least your adopted child grew up with a loving parent.

I am so grateful for your brilliant soul. The practical, empathic and true message I hear from you every time gives me real human hope . My soul sends you love, gratitude and respect.
I always feel love when I come to this channel. Thank you Rabbi!
My parents never abandoned me but, different people throughout my life did. Maybe then I shouldn’t feel abandoned and I do. It’s very hard. It’s the jealousy that did it to me. Jealous people of me being more lucky. I turned out emotional that they left me. I’m starting to understand it’s not my problem it’s them and their insecurity not mine. I just was so attached to them because I loved them. I still do.
This was absolutely perfect and after being married for 29 years I can see that our love as grown from the needy to the transcendent. It hasn’t been easy but we had a lot to learn . Probably still do . Marriage and kids …. Life’s greatest teachers ?? Lol .
For me to love means to view the object as part of the whole. To love something means it is a part of you.

Give freely or not at all. "Capacity" for this abundance is derived from self-integrity. Our relationships with others are a reflection of the one we have with ourselves. Giving what we need with an expectation of fulfilling reciprocation by another is misguided. Direct those efforts and intentions towards awareness and acceptance of the self (integrity). Abundance is achieved when we are satisfied. Love has no limits. Do not fear "losing" love.
Esoteric literature states that Love is an actual cosmic energy, like electricity is: it is integral to cosmos itself. Also, it has a 'gluelike' effect and glues things together - in fact, gravity is the result of Love at the more subtle levels.
Thankyou Rabbi Simon Jacobson, your wisdom here is very beautiful. 💜
Instead of my usual comments, I'm going to quote two songs about love that I think pretty much say it all: The first one is by a rock group called Sweet and it goes like this (please excuse the paraphrasing): "Love is like oxygen. If you get too much, you get too high. Not enough, and you're going to die." The other is by Crosby, Stills and Nash and it goes like this: "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with." Sometimes you have to make the first move. Only your fear is stopping you.

What we really suffer from in this life, is our separation from our heavenly Father. We feel that loss and emptiness every day and we fill our lives with sometimes good things and sometimes bad things to fill in the gap. As a child, He gave me "moments" that as I grew older, looking back at those times, pointed out to me that he has always been in my life and continues to this day. I'm so very thankful for what he has done.
BEAUTIFUL! Everything you ever say always resonates very deep within my soul.. Thank you . I know I'm not alone. As I have mentioned to you before I feel like I've always been aware of this information and have been on my journey for the confirmation that what I know is the truth .I'm 73 now and now know I've come full circle. Thank you so much.
I pray for you every night. Thank you for what you do
Woah.. I never thought about my past addictions in the light of searching for love, for transcendence. So many of your words and teachings bring me many realizations and resolutions to moments in my life that I believed I long ago forgot about (if that makes sense?). Thank you, as always, for your words. Take care 🙂
I watched crying the whole time 😭😭😭

This idea of unconditional love means a love that doesn’t change. Ie a love that remains forever in the same unending form. People that say I love u to many multiple partners do not have real love just a form of love at the time
I greatly appreciate the amount of research that goes into each of your presentations.
Thank you Rabbi for your videos. They are very healing for me. The man you described that couldn't even pick up on the concept of unconditional love is my mother in a nutshell. She's always been like that. I am currently not able to inhabit the home I live in and having some pretty bad health issues. When I asked her for help in my time of struggle instead of trying to give comfort or help she told me "life is not supposed to be easy."
Speaking of which… I do *love* these deep conversations with Rabbi Jacobson. Much appreciated Rabbi.
My Mother left when I was very young, she took the 3 older children with her , left my little sister and I behind. There has always been a horrible Deep Rooted feeling of not being enough for anyone in this world , and becoming co-dependent, and an over giver to earn love and trust from other. Those feelings , turned into self hatred over time. It's taken a long time , and alot of work ,on my part , to undo and relearn self love and exceptance, so I didn't hurt my own children in the same way. Thank you for this Beautiful Teaching , and one I will most likely will come back and listen too , several times. Blessings always 💗
Love you, Rabbi Jacobson. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
This should absolutely be part of young people’s education. i once heard someone say the two most important decisions of your life are to believe there is a God and who you marry.
True love is a quantum entanglement with the universe at large.
I love who ever freed me. I don't agree with parents sending there daughters on the streets in the world living on lies but I'm glad I was finally found and saved. Whm ever did that thank you.

Human love & romantic love are two different things. It took me a number or years to learn this distinction. Human love is grounded and based within a relatedness shared between people which endures and strengthens over time. The highs & lows of romantic love are based within our projections of each other and this often does not last.

@@UnashamedCaliforniagirl in some cases it is although I’m not speaking of infatuation here. What I was speaking on is two people living within their established long standing projections of each other, based within romantic love (which really isn’t love btw), until the illusion of one or both of their projections shatter; and then one or both people break up, separate, or divorce, etc. There are long standing marriages built upon projections which have nothing to do with infatuation. So there is a difference between romantic love & human love. The unfortunate thing in this day & age is that most people don’t know the difference between the two. There is a great book on the subject, “WE: understanding the psychology of romantic love,” by Robert Johnson.

How much will a person suffer? And, what for? There's never a need to ask what a person loves, because you can observe it. But, to me still, the nature of it is a mystery. Thanks Rabbi...
Thank you rabbi, this was so deep and meaningful I had to stop listening and take a break a few times.
Sad that the goal of transcendent offerings is not recognized. Having been penalized for giving anonymously, the inability of our consumer society to recognize the value of the giving leaves me in tears.
We have to be the change that we want to see in this world, and since we are all born of love in the first place, as in, that we were instigated into physical existence, by an almighty God who is the Father of all of our spirits, then love is our most basic nature and it's down to each one of us to live accordingly 🙏🏻💖

It's a beautiful study of yours! It's strange that a person can give love if he/she was born in a loving family and if he/she was born in an abusing family, he/she can not give love. So love is really something from univers, from God, but it can be possible or existante, only, if it is nourited in the family ( by parents)....?! Thank you!
I often think of how peaceful the world would be without love, how peaceful, how tranquil and how dull.

People lack patience, which turns to anger, which is the opposite of Love
Love IS Love. I arrived with love and I leave with Love. I love life, I love creation. Love IS unconditional. Love gets distorted under the umbrella of attatchments and material distractions. As my physical, mental, emotional humanistic qualities dance in balance and harmony together in this journey, the intamacy with my Soul expands conscious wisdom to its' mate (Me). Being the best me/ Mate for my Soul. My Soul Mate and I are One. A "Soul Mate" is not found outside of myself, it is within. My personal perspective. Many Blessings to all the explorerors travelling this adventure. Thanks embraced with love and gratitude to you Rabbi Simon Jacobson.
