This is how I finally left my abuser. I chose to break down the dichotomy by looking at myself to see how am I abusive in my own life and how am I abusive towards myself. I realized that staying with him was an extension of the abuse towards myself that I learned from growing up in an abusive family and that the problem was inside me. He was just a symptom. It gave me the power to break the “contract” between us and escape.
Most people cannot manage this level of thought consciousness. They are black and white / good / bad . I work in a federal prison most of my colleagues see the detainees as dirt of society.I enjoy sitting with detainees , hearing their story and then finding those stories within myself . Granting them compassion instead of judgement.
I know, it's so crazy to me. Also, I have been a big "advocate" of the "thinking" that we humans have personal agency, and free will, but anymore I don't know how much free will, and personal agency we actually do have. Two people go through the same set of circumstances, one grows, and kicks ass while the other destroys, and becomes the ass...I have no idea how this works.
This is exactly what I thought she was talking about right away. I have done it as a recovering addict. Honestly I felt suicidal for a while. I had to learn how to do it the right way. You have to sit with your shadow without guilt or shame or judgement. Just accept these dark parts of you as a part of you and don’t repress those parts. It’s the only way to become whole. It’s especially difficult if you weren’t such a good person like me. I was violent and angry and full of rage. I hurt an out of people in my life. It wasn’t until a therapist said to me, hurt people hurt people that I realized I was hurt. I grew up in trauma in my early childhood. If actually began while I was in the womb. My dad beat my mom a lot. She actually died on the operating table for a few seconds the doctor told her. Pregnant with me. I had repressed memories plus I was very young when my trauma occurred. So I never could understand why I was so full of anger all the time. Fighting everyone my whole life. I was an iv drug user and alcoholic. Meth was my drug of choice. I’m four years clean now at 48 years old. It takes an extraordinary amount of strength to beat that needle. By far the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. I spent a year of my life in residential treatment and had professional help to win that battle. Carl jung and his shadow work was crucial to my recovery. So was God. I couldn’t have done it without every resource I could find. But yeah, most people don’t do the shadow work because it’s extremely difficult to take a real hard honest look at the truth about yourself. Bug if you don’t you will stay fragmented your entire life. It’s worth all the pain you have to go through to become whole. Take the masks off and be yourself, whatever that looks like.
There is a profound lesson in realising that we don’t put criminals in jail. We put people that committed crimes in jail. We tend to use language to distance ourselves from people we don’t quite understand because we’re afraid of what we could learn about ourselves.
@@michail.q I sent him a comment, but apparently UA-cam isn't fine with me calling out stupidity. Or at least, I don't see it listed here anymore. On the other hand, he has already revealed something about himself.
One of the biggest revelations I ever had was that any of us, given the same set of circumstances, is capable of making the same choices. Joyful people don't abuse others. Hurting people hurt people.
@@DanWithPlan we aren't in the other persons shoes though, we can only approach it. And as important as that understanding is, too much empathy keeps you from protecting your interests and values from those who act against it.
”One could say that integration is the truest spiritual goal. For the universe to become one, as a fractal of the universe, we must become one. We will do that by integrating. We will integrate by “loving” all aspects of ourselves. We will integrate by pulling close and seeing value in the aspects of us that we have pushed away. For most of us in the world, in the process that we go through in order to ‘grow up’, there is an element of pushing our child-self away. And this is a tragedy because when we push our child self away, we don’t simply gain all the positive attributes of maturity and adulthood. We lose all the positive attributes of youth and childhood. An essential part of integration is to re-own your child self”. Teal Swan (from the video and article: Powerful spiritual practice: become like a child)”. Thank you Teal
Whoever truly thinks they are incapable of indulging in their malevolence, will always fall victim to it. EVERYONE is easily capable of tremendous evil.
I remember the first time I was so mad I felt like I could do serious harm to someone, I knew I wouldn’t, but that feeling knowing I was totally capable, was the most confusing and empowering and empathizing feeling I could have ever felt. And I was quite young. Our reality isn’t “good vs bad”. It’s simply survivalistic. What we need is to understand our profound capability to thrive. We’d then release ourselves from the erroneous societal mentality that has such a death grip on us all. Life would be much more harmonious. And the serial killer in us wouldn’t even rear it’s ugly head because we’d all have acquired the skills necessary from those around us to manage as opposed to cope. We’d be in community instead of competition. We’d be in a much more harmonious state. But until then, it’s important to be real with ourselves. If we can’t feel the power of being the evil doer, maybe we can’t even feel the power of the opposite and we’re just hanging out in the middle zone a little too much. It’s not that we need to be extreme. It’s that we need to recognize our extremes and choose where to reside to feel best for our overall wellbeing and that of the collective.
It would be fascinating to listen to a Challenger like Teal and a Reformer like Peterson debate about how we self-punish or are self-indignant when we try to even the score in a perceived unjust world.
”The universe is a mirror of us. We are a microcosm in the macrocosm. We are a fractal of god. For the universe to become one, we must become one. We will do that by integrating.

Teal Swan (from the article and video: Integration... The True Mission of God)”. Thank you Teal
I've been reading tarot for 25 years this Thursday, and of the many MANY beautiful gifts that my practice has given me, this thing that Teal is talking about (seeing yourself in the face of others) is my second favorite (first is my loss of judgement on others, you don't judge people when you have the context of their story, and if you only judge when you don't.)
I have an issue with those who don’t ask for forgiveness, especially when it is from a serious situation. What that means to me is that it takes away from the power of those that are willing to admit their wrong doings.
Describes my last relationship. I saw his darkness and played in it. I enjoyed myself until the lifestyle almost killed me. I gained 75 lbs and my system became sick. So my body rejected him and his lifestyle of drinking every night before I did. But I knew what I was doing and tried to pull him out. He betrayed me in The end and moved to someone else who was darker than him.
I've seen that narrative play out over and over in the peer group I had back in high school. So many have died from bad choices. So grateful for my insatiable hunger for knowledge and growth..a neverending quest.
@@elizabethf8078I relate. My curious nature was stronger than my desire for acceptance. Meeting others with that same curious nature was a bonding experience.
Yes, exactly. We're everything, the good and the bad. Only for our own "mental health" we believe that we are on the good end of the stick... Being the good person. I love "the bad people" of my life more and more. I see my own struggles through their own struggles, like for instance the true difficult task it is to be truly authentic and vulnerable, especially when you feel it's "a lost battle", and how i used to keep people at arm's length because of that. Also, the life of my body... i listen to it more and more. I respect this vehicle and its deep wisdom more and more.
@@bm.6349 If you can't have empathy for your enemies, you have no perception of truth. Everything becomes degrees of lies. Black and white become greys. Self becomes frail. Friends become used and user.
@@goatplissken this is why I think she's not talking about empathy in this video. This is not just about feeling the other person, but she suggests that one reason we don't treat phenomenas we disapprove of in unhealthy way's because we cannot understand what is needed to create changes. In order to understand it we have to imagine ourselves in their position then think about what we would appreciate receiving. Especially with people who cause suffering as the previous person has stated, the way they get treated does need to be reformed, and she suggests a method to use that might help in finding better ways, I guess this is what was being talked about. And I'm really sorry for my long comment :,)
It’s frightening to look at those aspects of oneself. However when we understand where it comes from and where it went so radically destructive then we can address the social implications.
This is so true..I sit down and think about At exactly makes me so angry about what I’m seeing in someone else and I can almost always compare it to something I do..usually to a lesser degree but the essence of that thing is still there..
This is like a dream come true. Teal Swan looks at me, all happy, and asks me to find the serial killer in myself. I have a little saying about this thing btw... We seek ourselves in others, but we forget to see ourselves in others. Definitely a profound way to let perspectives work for you.
What is interesting is how right you are. It is a requirement now, to know and see what’s going on clearly in our world of perception. For those who don’t, they have no power. Bye! It is with the utmost compassion what you are saying. To understand someone’s mind, and that it’s like a cause and effect machine-those people that are suffering from that, plain and simple. And to see it in urself? Except to judge someone who manifested it when you didnt manifest it. And who’s better. Really. Much love to you all💚
HA! THIS is excellent! It's not something I 'practice', but I do it on occasion. Ever seen the movie "Falling Down". That movie scared the bejeasus out of me. It hit a little (LOT) too close to home. This is where I started doing the practice.
I like Teal's focus on self reflection and through that, responsibility. Do I agree with everything she thinks/says? Of course not. But I believe many young ladies would have a better grip on reality with her as a mentor.
We have true demons inside ourselves. I'm currently in a stage of self-exploration that brings out some traits in me that I could never understand in others before, like for instance blind rage. I've thought of myself as a "good girl" for much of my life. I knew I had some bad traits, too, and wasn't really better than anyone else. But I always thought I could control myself and not let the bad parts take the upper hand. Now that I discover the destructivness and power that's in me and, when triggered, can hardly contain it and keep myself from harming the person that triggered me... That makes me humble. And it sparks compassion, because I'm beginning to see that others are fighting with their inner demons just the same and all of us can easily fail in holding them back, because they are such a powerful and deceitful force. The only thing that currently helps me to keep them at bay is the honest desire to see and live the truth, which is that there are no "others" and no part of the ego, neither the "angels" nor the "demons", is truly good or bad but always deceived. It's not the end of the story. It's not entirely correct. There's so much still that I haven't experienced and understood. But learning and accepting that everything is inside me, the good and the bad, and that noone wins in this endless fight between these forces, is a big step forward for me. I still wonder how to bear seeing this fight going on in everyone around me all the time while not being able to help them. How am I going to not go insane or fall into despair while having to witness this endless suffering?
Something started to happen a few years back. Anytime I find myself judging outward, the question automatically turns back at me: “Have I ever had that trait in me in some way? Have I ever been that ignorant or egotistical? Or whatever...” It’s like my soul is holding a mirror to my ego… A quality practice.
When you say that universe works on law of mirroring, doesn't mean you see your reflection yourself in othes, it means the universe creates serial killers and the epitome of empathetic person both.
Understand it..."completely" is a stretch. Understanding that some people are monsters because of various abnormalities is one thing but to "understand"/accept it as an empath is a totally different thing.
Already have been doing this for years. Its not that o don't understand why things ended up this way is that it will only get worse if we don't all understand each other better.
This is what exactly helped my anger issues. In the beginning, it was very hard and I resisted to believe that I was similar to the other person. But, it comes naturally to me nowadays.
I do this exercise. Not on a daily base, but whenever I see, read or hear something „disturbing“ I go looking for this within me. A cpl of month ago I‘ve heard Peterson talking about this and I felt a bit relieved because I tend to doubt my mind sometimes. It’s not a fun exercise and it led me to very dark places, but it helps me a great deal to cast a new light on things.
There’s no “law” of mirroring, there are no “laws”, actually, there may appear to be but it’s only because a critical amount of consciousness believes or subscribes to the pattern, whatever it is. Source can shift or eradicate any “law” in any dimension. Mirroring is a current phenomenon, but it’s not a law and not all humans are subject to this phenomenon, some have moved beyond.
Yup. When people piss me off I have to look at myself and see how I do the same thing and try to make sure I work on it. Otherwise I just hate myself 🤷♀️
I’ve done this since I was little. Just felt natural while I sat awkwardly by myself contemplating everyone’s perspectives and the nature of reality. Didn’t have a lot of friends.. lol
When push comes to shove, we all have the capability of evil, it's being aware of that and choosing to not act in that way is what makes you a good person.
This brings to mind the anecdote I always like to share about the reporter in India who encounters a holy man & asks: "How is it that you remain so blissful & happy when there is so much suffering around you every day?" To which the holy man responds: "nothing goes wrong in my life." I also suggest people read up on the Baader Meinhof phenomena - popularly marketed by folks touting "The Secret"
This is what I am trying to understand when it comes to putting beautiful wild animals in cages....it's hell on Earth for these creatures. Why do people do it?
Apparently, it was too difficult for most of us to master our environment (without deluding ourselves into believing ourselves being superior to said environment). We are running the Animal Kingdom like a banana republic.
Why? Because we do it to ourselvds and eachother every day. We have been put into metaphorical cage since the day we were born into a society. This is just another physical extension of tuat. Keeping our own animal side in a cage as well. It didnt go away anywhere. Civilization didnt erase that part of us. We are still animals on a biological and subconscious level. Its just been caged.
I can't see past the greed, and poison in the world. I can't get away from someone who pokes at me constantly. And I don't do that to people so I don't understand why it is this way. Other than I can't focus on the positive. That's the only thing I haven't figured out.
We are able to be serial killer or any kind of things ! But we chose to be with people and circumstances that being peace and growing loving understanding ..
People do this daily but in a negative fashion. They’ll see someone similar but in a better position than them, and realise they were everything that person was, but failed (subjectively).
i would have adopted this perspective courageously until years ago when i literally descended into hell and experienced what its like to be in that environment. youre basically nothing there, just pure seeing and sensing. and most pronounced was being driven by thoughts, vile horrid thoughts, of not your own making. blasphemy, arrogance, killing god, being mentally fed by sexual lurid scenes. your own identity being vanished meaning youll all confusion and cannot seem to think for your own because your mind wouldnt believe you. theyd switch off that portion of your brain. now i no longer swallow too much ideas. im more skeptic in accepting whatever people say these days
This is how I finally left my abuser. I chose to break down the dichotomy by looking at myself to see how am I abusive in my own life and how am I abusive towards myself. I realized that staying with him was an extension of the abuse towards myself that I learned from growing up in an abusive family and that the problem was inside me. He was just a symptom.

It's not the end of the story. It's not entirely correct. There's so much still that I haven't experienced and understood. But learning and accepting that everything is inside me, the good and the bad, and that noone wins in this endless fight between these forces, is a big step forward for me.
I still wonder how to bear seeing this fight going on in everyone around me all the time while not being able to help them. How am I going to not go insane or fall into despair while having to witness this endless suffering?
Something started to happen a few years back. Anytime I find myself judging outward, the question automatically turns back at me: “Have I ever had that trait in me in some way? Have I ever been that ignorant or egotistical? Or whatever...” It’s like my soul is holding a mirror to my ego… A quality practice.
When you say that universe works on law of mirroring, doesn't mean you see your reflection yourself in othes, it means the universe creates serial killers and the epitome of empathetic person both.
Can you elaborate please?
Understand it..."completely" is a stretch. Understanding that some people are monsters because of various abnormalities is one thing but to "understand"/accept it as an empath is a totally different thing.
She's Correct. One has to have balance. Be beyond good and evil. Master both the light and the dark. It'll change your perspective.
Amen, but for the Grace of God there go I!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

A conversation between you and Jordan Peterson would be rather interesting Mrs. Swan. Forever thankful for you and your guidance. ❤😁🙏
Already have been doing this for years. Its not that o don't understand why things ended up this way is that it will only get worse if we don't all understand each other better.
Yep, I try to run far far away...they always find me. Dang it.
Woww ...i like that...i never saw from this perspective..i think i should try that.
This is what exactly helped my anger issues. In the beginning, it was very hard and I resisted to believe that I was similar to the other person. But, it comes naturally to me nowadays.
I do this exercise.
Not on a daily base, but whenever I see, read or hear something „disturbing“ I go looking for this within me. A cpl of month ago I‘ve heard Peterson talking about this and I felt a bit relieved because I tend to doubt my mind sometimes. It’s not a fun exercise and it led me to very dark places, but it helps me a great deal to cast a new light on things.
So good!
Thank you ❤
There’s no “law” of mirroring, there are no “laws”, actually, there may appear to be but it’s only because a critical amount of consciousness believes or subscribes to the pattern, whatever it is. Source can shift or eradicate any “law” in any dimension. Mirroring is a current phenomenon, but it’s not a law and not all humans are subject to this phenomenon, some have moved beyond.
Thankyou.
Belief in "laws" like these is only possible for those who don't take them seriously or literally enough.
So, is there such a thing as "truth". ?
Yup. When people piss me off I have to look at myself and see how I do the same thing and try to make sure I work on it. Otherwise I just hate myself 🤷♀️
I’ve done this since I was little. Just felt natural while I sat awkwardly by myself contemplating everyone’s perspectives and the nature of reality. Didn’t have a lot of friends.. lol
She is so gorgeous
Yiu just proved thst women understand empsthy, compassion, and sympsthy.
You just outright refuse it
Appreciate it.. 🙏💖☺️
Thank you
i see ppl as 2 - their higher self and their possesed/shadow side. it does make huge difference to create more understanding on seeing things
The mind is the issue…. It’s going to tell you all sorts and so will self help “guru’s”… 💰
Notice the minds suggestions…ignore 95% of them ✨
I AM rising to the occasion.
You attract what you are.
When push comes to shove, we all have the capability of evil, it's being aware of that and choosing to not act in that way is what makes you a good person.
❤ 💯🎯 empathetically vs sympathetically. Either perspective would be more understanding.
I need you Teal
The truth is the most horrifying and hardest thing to get to.
This brings to mind the anecdote I always like to share about the reporter in India who encounters a holy man & asks:
"How is it that you remain so blissful & happy when there is so much suffering around you every day?" To which the holy man responds: "nothing goes wrong in my life."
I also suggest people read up on the Baader Meinhof phenomena - popularly marketed by folks touting "The Secret"
We least like in others what we least like in ourselves.

This is what I am trying to understand when it comes to putting beautiful wild animals in cages....it's hell on Earth for these creatures. Why do people do it?
... we eat animals that shouldn't be a surprise. Heck some people even put other humans in cages
agree with you both
Apparently, it was too difficult for most of us to master our environment (without deluding ourselves into believing ourselves being superior to said environment). We are running the Animal Kingdom like a banana republic.
I think it's natural
to eat animals... i agree, however, that they should not be caged. Most are ill adapted to it.
Why? Because we do it to ourselvds and eachother every day. We have been put into metaphorical cage since the day we were born into a society. This is just another physical extension of tuat. Keeping our own animal side in a cage as well. It didnt go away anywhere. Civilization didnt erase that part of us. We are still animals on a biological and subconscious level. Its just been caged.
I can't see past the greed, and poison in the world. I can't get away from someone who pokes at me constantly. And I don't do that to people so I don't understand why it is this way. Other than I can't focus on the positive. That's the only thing I haven't figured out.
We are able to be serial killer or any kind of things ! But we chose to be with people and circumstances that being peace and growing loving understanding ..
People do this daily but in a negative fashion.
They’ll see someone similar but in a better position than them, and realise they were everything that person was, but failed (subjectively).
i would have adopted this perspective courageously until years ago when i literally descended into hell and experienced what its like to be in that environment.
youre basically nothing there, just pure seeing and sensing. and most pronounced was being driven by thoughts, vile horrid thoughts, of not your own making.
blasphemy, arrogance, killing god, being mentally fed by sexual lurid scenes.
your own identity being vanished meaning youll all confusion and cannot seem to think for your own because your mind wouldnt believe you. theyd switch off that portion of your brain.
now i no longer swallow too much ideas. im more skeptic in accepting whatever people say these days
Love this after watching Schindler's list.
Interesting list
I'm a writer. It's what I do. I can make myself anything.
Hardest practise ever but also freeing
Yea people tend to forget they are the same to a certain extends
I have noticed several people within my reality that seem to be mirroring me,
even though I used to wonder how they would be mirroring me for a long time
spiritual or not, I still like the aspect of trying to understand each other, rather than vilify. ^^
