InPresence 0036: Two Secrets of High Self-Esteem with Jeffrey Mishlove

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he shares two of the most important lessons he has learned in his life. He points out that he did not always have self-esteem. But, while working as a bellhop, he observed another bellhop who seemed to be extremely popular with everyone. This resulted in the second secret. The most important secret of all is how to process the attempts of other individuals to devalue you as a human being, and how to understand why you, occasionally, wish to devalue others.

I like to kid around and used to make myself the brunt of jokes. Too often I saw people turn it around on me to try to make themselves look better. It hurt. I've since learned to make my jokes only about psychologists. LOL

Beautiful. And may I add something to this? I think, when somebody puts you on the pedestal, when they idealize/idolize you, when they believe you can do no wrong, that is ALSO 100% about them and not about you. In that case, they are also projecting their own desire for greatness, talent, enlightenment on you. They are seeing in you what they have rejected and disowned within themselves.

I used to be politically active. I Ioved it. Then I realized (due to a dream) that nearly all politicians utilize fear to grab our attention and condemnation to gain our allegiance and we go along with them for it makes us feel smart and morally superior. Yet it turns us against one another,  against communities, entire nations even. I still participated until I was listening to one politician speak outdoors and a donkey, or jackass, nearby began loudly and relentlessly hee hawing.

These In Presence videos are my favorite- I like them even more than the interviews (which are great by the way). I actually look forward to starting my day with each new In Presence video.

Starting my day with Jeffrey Mishlove simply feels good and makes my day better. Thanks Jeffrey )

[tewtravelers]

I consider you a wise mentor thank you for sharing!

[cagedgreed]

Thanks for the help! I often forget that projection is why people hurt each other, sometimes I just think that they're psychopathic jerks with no empathy or compassion.

Dr. Mishlove, I have watched all of your old Thinking Allowed interviews. I was amazed how you interviewed with such a skill those whom were in complete disagreement with you (Like the interviews with UG as an example). In fact I learned the attitude of how to deal with controversial circumstances from you. That's it. The way you acknowledge another person's stance became a reference point to tune up myself in difficult interactions. Thank you.

Higher light really shines through my phone on this one. Beautiful.

[queensistastarot]

Im taking psychology in the Fall! Love your talks

[mscir]

Another great episode, thanks. I believe in the phrase in the Lord's Prayer, "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us..", as it relates to karma.

Beautiful message - beautiful heart moment - beautiful future if we can all live this out as well as we can. :) Thank you, Jeffrey. We need about 3 billion more people with this heart in this world - or at least enough to love everyone else to a higher state of being.

Jeffrey Mishlove, I also developed self-esteem after some age... For example, doing my job or my studies with some attention, and I felt better every day, but what really made a profound positive improvement was when I begin to have more conscious and lucid dreams because I could see for myself that always when

[HueyTheDoctor]

This is a beautiful message. Thank you Jeffrey. Of course, it's easier to acknowledge the correct course of action than it is to take it. When your emotions are inflamed, the urge to lash out is almost irresistible. But everything you said in this video is true and insightful.
