  I appreciate how you say to become aware, not with an intensity but with a relaxed gaze, a contemplation. Coming from a family that looks for things intensely, this gentle guidance is useful to me, to relax my approach in thinking about things.

  Yes, if we become aware of "how we are becoming aware" - meaning, what is driving our contemplation, it will further the insight we get from our search.

  While being adept at emotional maturity during hard times is well adaptive, i believe, that some "mentally ill" people will thrive. Those who are labeled as mentally ill and will thrive, imo, in part, will be those who can compartmentalize their feelings. I believe that current mental health professionals call that repression. I call that an advantage in certain stimuli. Hard 'folk' for hard times. There's a reason why the Machiavellian principle pervades. It's not pretty, but that's the difference between the Chimpanzee and the Bonobo.

  Another wonderful contribution, Jonathan!! Even in the wee hours!! Thanks! This sounds similar to Radical Acceptance and to the concept of the Primitive Brain/Conscious Brain. I like the idea of surrender and acceptance. I'm working with a Somatic Therapist and I'm learning to think in terms of "parts" of myself, like what you mention here. It's new and a challenge to picture those parts in my mind. Thanks for putting this out. If you have any more thoughts on the actual "doing" of this I'm all ears. Thanks again, you're fantastic!!!

  The idea of being attached to your struggles really resonates with me. I seem to feel most satisfied, most at home, in the painful vicious thought/feeling cycle inside my brain. I cannot enjoy accomplishments or successes for more than a moment or 2, then it's right back to the general resentment of life and the world, despite my very positive circumstances. I ask myself "What is it that I WANT? Why do I always return to the struggle so quickly after the wonderful breaks form it?" There's definitely a kind of sick satisfying attachment to the wrenching suffering. It reaches deep inside and scratches a core itch like nothing else ever has. It perpetuates because I don't believe the itch (the emotional need) will ever find healthy fulfillment. It's just beyond my reach. There's those limiting beliefs right there. I LOVE the concept "There's A Gift Inside the Suffering. It's calling for more creativity." When it's put that way, I think I can DO that!! You're fantastic, Johathan!! You're spot-on!!!!! I'll be checking in regularly to see what you're putting out there. Thanks so much!!

  Here's a conversation I had with my parents when I was about 15. That's when I decided that talking to them, unless I _really_ needed to, was pointless. Me: "What's the time?" Parent: "Why are you asking? Why do you want to know? I know! You want to go to (that place we disapprove of) with those people (we disapprove of, don't like, aren't good enough...). Well no. You can't go." Me: "I just wanted to watch something on the telly." Moral: if you're going to jump straight to ridicule, straw man arguments and judgements, don't be surprised if your children are unwilling to communicate with you.

  I decided to be vulnerable with my grandma about weed smoking when I was young. I told her that I was smoking weed and stuff and that I enjoy it. And btw that wasn't a cringe way of communicating to your child, that was smart, you're making sure their risky behavior is significantly safer. I really loved being able to tell her that I was smoking weed to cope and I enjoy being able to smoke with her now as an adult.

• 
  @jonathan_mitchellАй бұрын

  This is a great example of taking a risk as a young person with a trusted caregiver and it going well (it sounds like). It takes vulnerability and courage to share something like that with an adult, and it takes a sophisticated, dedicated caregiver to acknowledge that and have a meaningful conversation.

  @shmockette7158Ай бұрын

  Thank you for this advice. I'm gonna be trying to use this. I don't want to become a monk because I'm aware of just how long it takes and just how difficult it is. But the spirituality I've been gaining and the strength I've been getting has been awesome. In many ways I am weak but in many ways I am strong and I can fix any part of myself. I fully agree with the awareness. Taking action is so difficult. Meditation, exercise and LSD have been helping me do that. Hearing you talk about judging people that are wealthy reminds me of myself. The anger I feel towards the wealthy isn't a wrong thing, but all it does is satisfy the ego. You're comparing their richness to them and getting angry at them for that and thus victimizing yourself, which I didn't realize you are victimizing yourself when you do that, and thank you so much for teaching me that. And lastly, surrendering is absolutely so true. Surrendering IS an action. And Acceptance. I've been doing this as of late. I hope I keep doing it. But like if there is something I don't need to eat, I shouldn't eat it and tell myself as such. Acceptance is beautiful and literally makes you learn to enjoy your life more because if you accept life and discomfort and don't need to change the discomfort or your life, and then shit becomes easier. I've learned a lot from this and this has helped me introspect upon myself. I'm gonna come back to your channel for more knowledge :) This is such an underrated channel. Also good job with the pacing, thank you for not being too fast or too slow and thank you for going into detail with what you mean.

  When I have experiences like this, I recognize 1) that I am ultimately not this body, these thoughts, these feelings, and 2) that the "I" that I am is something far greater, far more expansive, and eternal. When I hold this awareness, a peace is possible, as it makes why it feels strange to be here in this way. Nonetheless, I find it is critical that I am here - to serve and to open.

  @allisonbrown84652 ай бұрын

  Inconsistent behaviors make discernment of can’t vs won’t very difficult (ie can’t get up for school but can get up for fun). How do you consistently support this with help or boundaries and natural consequences when you can’t tell can’t vs won’t because it varies by the hour or day?

• 
  @jonathan_mitchell2 ай бұрын

  That's a great question it can be difficult to distinguish the two. A key way to tell is if they do the same thing under different circumstances: they get up early for "fun" things but don't get up early for "challenging" things (e.g., school). They can clearly get up, they just don't want to. Then it becomes the art of holding boundaries ("If you don't go to school on time, you can't use the car, use your phone, etc."), allowing natural consequences to occur (e.g., failing a class, getting detention, not graduating on time, needing to take summer school, getting a GED), and retaining your relationship with her (i.e., staying connected while still holding boundaries "I know this is hard for you, it's for me to see you go through this, and I'm going to hold these boundaries with you ").
