I have experienced this personally on the Buddhist path from 14 I put myself in violating positions when I wasn't enlightened I was just a girl trying to figure it out, as a 'good person'...thanks for validating that.
What a beautiful way to frame this! She is a wonderful storyteller, human being! This speech is just WOW!! The way she speaks, it's healing itself! Thank you, Liz!
Jesus and The Buddha didn't talk about boundaries!? Whoa. That is definitely not true. Folks, study well. Otherwise you will drink any kool-aid people mix up for you and then you'll pay greatly for it.
Wow. Her every word resonates with me at deeper personal level. Today listening to her made me feel seen so much. Experience is the biggest & realest teacher. Thank You Elizabeth. You amazed me and fired me up during my darkest times in COVID by your insights. You turned out to be a guiding light. Wooooooow. So glad i found you.
I get many of the points she makes about negative human traits etc. But where does she get all the divine feminine, divine masculine stuff from. She says women don't need to die to self, yet the bible says the opposite. We need to die to self, in the flesh dwells no good thing. The more we doe to our selfish pride, the more God can come into our lives and work through us. I understand that people are searching for answers and like everyone, I'm painfully aware of my own failings. Yet, we need to be careful of creating these ideas in our own minds, creating a god in our own minds. There is a real God and real standard to live by. The lessons in the bible about letting go of self, is for all humans, not just men. Her talk may sound nice on the face of it, but it goes against the bible.
Not everyone believes in the Bible. I was raised Catholic. There are a lot of great, general teachings in the Bible but there is a lot I don't agree with. I don't forget that it is a man-made book that has been revised many times over history. We all have God within us and I believe all of us combined is what God truly is. It's all just a push and pull of energy experiencing this world in different forms in order to advance a higher knowledge. Feminine and masculine are just the forms that different energies take. We've lost the balance over millions of years which is why she brought up the masculine (Jesus, Buddha, etc.) being worshipped for being balanced with naturally feminine traits brought them to the image of enlightened ones. Women, who in form, naturally embody more empathetic and giving traits are more balanced with boundaries.
@@coolbreeze5683 I too don't believe what the Roman Catholic Church teaches. I'm a born again Christian. Catholicism has many problematic teachings. That's why it's important to read the bible ourselves. We have the root scriptures. Look into the Dead Sea scrolls. It sounds like you believe in a very new age, man centred Jesus. God within, become enlightened kind of thing. I don't agree with that. God is outside of ourselves. But we can come into one with Him via the Holy Spirit when we repent and are born again. Which Jesus spoke of.
@@TonyQuinn-Art I don't believe in a man centered Jesus. I believe in a higher power which is the energy that we are all a part of. No "Him", no one to seek permission from, no one to fear. To me, it's not about being "enlightened" (that was the word Elizabeth used in a sarcastic tone and I echoed to emphasize that). It's about realizing we're all pieces of the same energy that comes from the whole. Since we're all on Earth and in human bodies, some choose to play the game of reading from man-made (in some cases fictional) teachings to try to make sense of our lives and try to find purpose. It's ok to play the game because that's why we're on this Earth but I believe that in the grand scheme of things, this all doesn't really matter. We just all make this playground for eachother to experience different things, highs and lows. I understand Elizabeth's explanation of trying to reach balance (masculine, feminine, profane, divine, etc), because I know it's all part of the game we play here on Earth. If people find comfort in books, different beliefs or religions, that's all good. I found something beyond that in my own life but as I mentioned, anyone can believe in whatever feels right for them.
I think she's confusing self with ego in a couple of places. Everyone has ego - it is essential for getting things done in the world. Aligning the self with soul rather than purely with the ego is good for everyone, and I can see how that works differently for men and women. (Caroline Myss is good on the topic of soul and ego.) Love the example of Kali and drawing a circle around the self/soul! ❤
OMG I literally just created a new playlist with like mega super favorite talks (and it’s my #1 hobby this days, so I listen to a-lot), I-must-never-ever-forget-this-mindblowingmessage, because I truly need to have this more present. Hope both men and women get to hear. I am sharing for sure!
Great interview Giovanni! Brain Johnson is amazing! I've watched Brian since the early days of his Philiopher's Notes series. Today, hearing about the impact he's making with Heroic, it's clear how his own heroic journey reflects his commitment to his guiding principles. Thank you for sharing this Giovanni!. Thank you Brian! +1!
I am reading the book. Excellent conversation, lots of energy, enthusiasm. I like the way ancient wisdom is translated with the findings of science into 'protocols' or practical algorithms to update or unlock our inner 'heroic potential.
This Backstage was phenomenal!! Your interaction with Brian Johnson was fantastic! You were so inquisitive and Brian’s responses were so poignant. Thank you for this hour of nonstop practical knowledge and reassurance that we all can be Heroes. #Heroic #Arete #51|2051
This is such a dangerous message. No, giving up the self has nothing to do with codependence, there is an OTHER self ( the soul) that you start living from. Jesus was not telling men to become creatures without discernment and boundaries. Giving up egocentricity has nothing whatsoever to do with gender. The "kindness" that you "allowed" Elisabeth has NOTHING WHAT SO EVER to do with giving up self. Look closer, you were trading with him: you wanted something from him, THAT is why you stayed. And you acted not from love to him but from scarcity and fear. Simple
She is accepting the truth about herself.... She was naive n ignorant...this entire talk is for lifting both men n women above trading each other for survival... Being a woman, how to give more without losing herself 😊...
Everyone, women and men, should hear this. Elizabeth Gilbert has a way of expressing these concepts in such an engaging way. Such an amazing gift she has!
I wonder how much longer we will be able to talk about compassion and about not acting only on what we want without addressing the elephant in the room - the cow. Same as the pig, the chicken, the goat, the fish, the any animal that suffers horrendous anesthetic-free mutilations at farms, horrific deaths at slaughterhouses. All because we want to eat certain foods - while we don’t even need them. I wonder when we will start extending the idea of helping others and not taking something just because we can to animals. I wonder when talks of compassion will start addressing the issue of how we reconcile the sentiment of kindness with the fact that we create gigantic demand for, say, animals, such as pigs being forced into gas chambers where they die a slow, agonizing death while struggling to escape and producing human-like screaming (see: undercover pig gas chamber footage on RU-vid). Everything Elizabeth said in the video is so accurate and profound - but do we not see how all of it - especially the part that we should not abuse just because we can - applies to animals too? Yet most of us, with all the talk of compassion, don’t apply it to them therefore not being much different from the “men who only think of what they want regardless of the suffering their blind wants cause” that Elizabeth talks about.
This is amazing. My life goal is to do everything I can to help make this world a better place. We are all human beings, we are all one. We can do infinitely more together than we can apart. ❤
Nearly everything about was lie's in the early 1900s people were riding segways landing on the a lie I think you lot best get your vaccine booster and hail Joe biden as the greatest leader ever
Thank you for sending the link to this as I missed it live. I loved Hal's book and his brilliant SAVERS. He also introduced me to Optimize/Heroic so both have been tremendously helpful to me! Thank you.
