A life lived out of alignment with our own values blows in the wind of every other person’s will for our life. We hope for substance but find only a fog of ourselves

[josephmbimbi]

whatever journey you go through "attaining a certain complexity of life" will definitely estrange you from the people you used to be close with. And until you get out of the initial confusion and find your new tribe, you will be very lonely

[Deamee]

most of us aren't lonely because we're too complex for other people. It's usually a lack of confidence and social skills

I have been struggling with, for several years now, during a massive “reawakening” of my soul and a “rewiring” on how I actually think in a very profound way. But I struggle greatly trying to find the “right way” to explain this to my wife whom I love so, but is so deeply asleep and oblivious to so much. Conveying this deeply complex change to someone who is quite emotionally immature may very well be impossible. However this video is the closest thing I have ever seen that might clear that really high and difficult bar of possible success in doing so. Great job Chris! Your one of the few, keep it up!!!

This is almost surreal. I just had this definitive moment regarding this, but I've had sooo many confirmational signs, synchronicities and happenings that I know it's validated on a very real plane.

Im tired of living out of alignment - it is lonely - but I’m willing to pay the price to live out of the fog- reawakening is quite lovely

Yes yes there is saying if you don’t know what to do, do good

Dumbing myself down in order to deal with incapable people ... is pretty dumb.
"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
Get along by moving on. Feeling lonely means you have more exploration to do,
curious questions and close listening to a more capable bunch.

Ah, this can be where substance abuse comes in. The great fogger.

[faisaize]

I dumb mysilfe down to be able to connect with people

[misteroz]

I’ve never found it to be that challenging; I just attribute such behaviour to one of my other personalities. The chances I’ll integrate myself at this stage of life is zero.

Complexity of mind

is a very BIG mixed bag.

But ... very richly lived.

Look for the 1% who CAN companion so many experiences.

A convoluted way to say "follow your instincts."

[ElsaLisa-ochv]

Yup: it’s expensive but a choice. You I afford it or can I not….

[jimmyfaulkner]

Im getting tired of maintaining the fog .

[johnwilliams]

I don't even know how to do things against my principles.

Apologies if stupid question: Chris mentions this dude all the time but I'm definitely spelling his name wrong - Orlando Bartonne? Can anyone assist?

This type of overthinking serves nobody
