    "Never be attach to your fruits of your actions." What a freedom...! Thanks for your beautiful talk you share. Namaste
  • @Tikutae
    if only we were all aware of this fact : "happiness can not depend on things, people, outer circumstances" i think so many more people would be at peace and would stop their eternal chase for something.

    Happiness is an inside Job....as a wise person once said. We came from Love...We are Love and We go home to Love.

    Rejection from women has traumatized me in a way that has unconsciously manifested itself in a bizarre way. I didn't understand why this was happening until recently, as I have really explored why this was happening from defense mechanistic POV. My body was displaying arousal around males and the opposite around females even though my sexual orientation was in contradiction. It was a horrible feeling, and I at first thought I was gay and I was suppressing it, but I knew without even having to explore that in detail that that was not the case as my whole life experiences of being rejected by women really was culminated when I had met the perfect girl that I really had fallen 100 percent in love with and I had believed she was the one, but later found out she was just using me, break up. Shortly afterwards I began having these embarrassing issues and my life has been a living nightmare as I am made fun of by everyone calling me deragatory homosexual slurs in Spanish and English. The pain from that particular incident was also the culmination of my life experiences, feeling ugly, boring, and untrusting of females becoming validated. In a way, the ego was doing this to protect itself from finding someone else to fall in love with because the last experience so painful and deeply hurtful that it would do whatever it took to never experience that intensity of emotional pain. it would rather, disingenuisley give potential females that I'm gay then potentially to take a chance that I am worthy enough for a quality female.

    Watched this video long time ago while being trapped by ego (fear, expectations, etc) and now i'm watching again but being kind of free of all that ego stuff... Wow .. What Rupert says is so true, so wise, It's quite amazing to be able to really understand what he says here from another state of Being ! In my mind it goes like "where have I been my god during all that time", Thank you very much Rupert, I remember so well how this video hit me 1st time I listened to it, and it helped me.
  • @taochentc
