Instant Belonging - Teal Swan

The ego is essentially a separate sense of self. The ego only exists in a state of comparison. It cannot exist without comparison. What happens when we have this sense of identity that exists only because of comparison and so many of the things that we compare ourselves to around us, we see as “not us” or “different to us”? Belonging goes right out the window. And in this case, the ego has nothing to identify with other than not belonging in and of itself. Not belonging becomes part of our identity. In this episode, Teal explains how we can use the ego to create an instant sense of belonging.

This is what I have been doing this year!!! I used to have such trouble feeling like I belonged and connecting with people, then I realised that I was always looking at how I was different from people and it was causing me to feel so isolated and cut away from everybody. So I decided that I would start trying to find how I'm similar to people, and it has made life so much easier and painless. It's so much easier to connect with people, and I have so many friends now (with people who usually wouldn't like me and I wouldn't like them too!). I feel like it's easier to be myself now and have people accept me because we'll always have something in common!

Teal that was probably one of the greatest shares of universal wisdom I've ever experienced in a Youtube video or any other medium to be truthful. I'm feeling pretty blessed I discovered your specific corner of the web!

[solarcite]

I love how ahead of the game Teal is ^^

Dissolving the ego(literally the whole sense of individuated human-self) is possible, but _not_ advisable. It is like uninstalling a core directory file on an operating system. The computer still works but now there are _SERIOUS_ security risks involved concerning survival, safety, and boundaries. Speaking from personal experience, trust me when I say you will inevitably have to go back and piece it together after dismantling it. Unless you are in a specific atmosphere that facilitates such a choice(ie, a monastery) that is fine. Otherwise, merely humble your ego. Do not attempt to destroy it or assume you are enlightened enough to function in modern society without it.

I just love her way of expressing thoughts;
Feels like warm herb tea

What an amazing human being Teal is, and what an amazing insight she shares with us in this video...the inner beauty of her awareness shines through in this video, for she is gleaming and radiant and so full of source/truth expressed through her own being....she is truly a light leading the soul out of darkness, from wherever you stand, she always provides a clear path to walk through and out the other side...what a wonderful soul, and what a wonderful message...for I struggle with people around me creating that separation all the time, and through comparison, and now I understand that, that is their ego that is creating that...

[lemurianchick]

I love how you challenge the premise of therapists, who tend to reflect the objectives of material life. They don't typically look at life from the spiritual dimension--hence, a worldly viewpoint that influences what they tell their clients. 😁

I will be 53 and of Christian faith and I find that when I embrace a stranger I look at what we have similar and find that I enjoy people so much! I feel your advice you gave is so true! And we really are all connected thank you!

[Jaccobtw]

The only thing you need to dissolve the illusion of separation is to realize that regardless of any belief systems, every human needs love to survive. There are no exceptions.

Teal has credibility for me because she offers many insights and strategies akin to the ones I learned from my work with both Ayahuasca and Huachuma, that transformed my life. I was liberated from the anxiety and anger that were a baseline in my psyche. It's an incredible feeling to be free of those oppressive emotions. Her insights help reinforce what I've already learned. I respect and appreciate her contribution.

[djzmt]

Thank you. I was walking while listening... feeling lonely.... and though "me and the trees need light, me and the bird need air" and felt a bit less lonly

[ThatSoundsLovely]

This is EXACTLY how I feel today. I've always felt it, but lately it's so much worse. Thank you, Teal. You are rocking that pink lipstick by the way. You and I are both clear/bright winter palettes in terms of color schemes that flatter our skin/hair/eyes the most. We're quite similar in our appearance . (Look at me finding similarities already)

[stinkytofu]

I needed to hear this. Now i have a new mantra: I do not identify as a person with a long history of depression and anxiety whose only non-abusive family member (father) is actively dying.

[persephoneslounge]

you know what I want? to live in a world where people can both be their unique selves and merge with everyone.

[abc-hidf]

Wow, this lesson was powerful. Start to consciously find similarities. This is a game changer.

[TataAkaPueppchen]

I love how she is always giving practical tips after explaining the theory ❤️ so helpful

[GuiCoelho]

The entire world must have access to this information. You're amazing for sharing this knowledge

[სალომეგუგავა]

This works if you have abandonment trauma . If you jave enmeshment trauma you need to FEEL SEPARATE in order to heal . So you have to scan the environment to find differences and that way you "get your sense of separate self" . Once you get it you start scanning the world to find similarities everywhere.

[julienmarechal]

I see that Teal and I have similarities, we are two living creatures, two beautiful living humans, two spiritual awakening individuals, us and everyone on this planet have beautiful eyes that are projecting our souls <3
