Thank you Tara! This came at a perfect time for me. I'm 53 and have been in therapy for many years. I am only learning now that I maybe neurodiverse and have "masked" much of my life without realizing it. It has been a very painful thing to look at in truth. My marriage was built on this mask and now that I'm really addressing my needs in the relationship I'm realizing it may not be able to meet this honesty. It has been very painful. I will be listening to this teaching several times so it sinks in. The hardest part is not judging myself or him.😞
Im in a marriage also and was finding it hard to connect to my husband as he doesn't like to talk about feelings and emotions that we all humans feel. I've had a bit of a crack into his psyche about it recently by sending a message as to how we both deserved a loving relationship. Things have improved since then ..but I have to be very tactful in my approach with matters of heart. Just keep at it dear .. when you step up to speak from your heart, providence moves. It's a game changer. All my best.
Tara, If you see this would you please send me some kind of healing energy or just some thing to help boost my life force. I am satyr than sad it’s scary and very uncomfortable and lonely. I really need God to show up with skin on❤
Listening to you brings tears to my eyes because its so true, i am so aware of how rotten to the core i am. The self centredness is the source of all ny suffering inside. Its feels like being in a prison i just cannot escape. Its so painful to be honest but maybe its the key.
You can do it and the best part is there is none judging you other then yourself.. we have the misperception if being bad and separate from everything and everyone else .. just like Tara said.
Thank you Tara for going deeply into the importance of honesty. Isn't delusion the nature of this world? This is indeed suffering. Didn't Buddha say that we live (in this world) because of karmic retribution? From my experience, living in this bizarre world - with some pretty gnarly influences, wading through all the karmic 'debts', relationships with ourselves and others can sometimes be very foreboding. It seems to me that when we finally develop a sincere heart, a longing to really live truthfully, quiet, deep meditation is key. Sometimes this seems to require quite a lot of forbearance, as we may hit on some conflicting ideas, tendencies, and influences. It can be a pretty wild ride. Google's captioning of Vipassana was at one point 'possum' Gotta see through the illusion!
I have had the oddest time, realizing my recent lie was to "protect" a friend from uncomfortable or disappointing information. And it has blown up in my face, and ridiculously misunderstood and misinterpreted. How to return to her will be a fascinating process ( after a year or so).
What to do when honesty is met with defensiveness? Your story about the newly married man and the sharing of his feelings towards his stepson to his wife got me thinking. I was surprised that in this scenario, his wife did not meet the sharing of his feelings towards her son with defensiveness. It reminds me that it’s not always so easy to express true feelings because it often brings out anger, fear and resentment in others :( Am I missing something?
😂...trust the rabi. Love your jokes. We identify more with what we keep hidden all our life...our privates... than what is exposed all the time...our face... Maybe it's time to change that. You can be two faced but never two privates...let's actually dare to show our honest actual faces more..😅😅😅..at least to ourselves to begin with....
Radical Self Honesty. Yes. To live with an undefended heart. To live in a “room without a roof”… to accept my humanness when it’s not so pretty❤

I once read that we are often more shocked by truth rather than deception
Thank you, Tara. I’m so grateful for your kind UA-cam teachings. I don’t know you, but I count you as my friend.

Dear Tara. I really appreciate your insight and humor. Where can i read the poem of Donna Faulds?
