Wanna Get Someone To See The Truth? (First Dissolve Their Resistance To Seeing The Truth)

  • 0:12 - 0:14
    A while ago I did a video
    where I explained
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    the single biggest barrier to awareness.
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    I basically explained that
    people don't see things
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    when the seeing of that thing
    would cause them pain.
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    Obviously,
    the avoidance of seeing something,
  • 0:24 - 0:27
    because seeing that something
    would apply pain,
  • 0:27 - 0:29
    means that it is an avoidance strategy
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    and by definition therefore,
    a coping mechanism.
  • 0:32 - 0:34
    If you want to see the video
    to understand this deeper,
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    the video is titled:
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    The Single Biggest Barrier to Awareness
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    In every city that I go to,
  • 0:39 - 0:43
    people sit across from me
    in this intense frustration.
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    That they have certain truths,
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    truths that they feel are very
    important for other people to see,
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    but they cannot get these people to see.
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    This is an excruciating experience,
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    because it means that if
    people won't see something,
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    they won't make adjustments accordingly.
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    For example, let's say
    that we step on a cat's tail,
  • 1:01 - 1:04
    if we don't see that we're
    stepping on the cat's tail,
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    not only are we gonna
    continue to stand on it,
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    we're also going to
    tell ourselves the story
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    that the cat is insane,
    because it's screaming.
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    What people don't see,
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    is that they are
    fighting against resistance.
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    This is something we're all trained to do.
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    We meet opposition with
    equal or greater opposition.
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    We bulldoze it or continue
    to try to bypass it,
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    anything but try to resolve it directly.
  • 1:24 - 1:26
    When we do this, we don't get
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    that fighting against resistance
    is resisting resistance,
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    which will, of course, never work.
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    All resistance really is,
    by the way, is opposition.
  • 1:34 - 1:35
    But it serves as a shield
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    that makes it so that we can
    never fully be in a relationship
  • 1:38 - 1:39
    to whatever's behind the shield
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    I'm gonna give you
    a golden rule of thumb today;
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    It's that if somebody
    is in resistance to something,
  • 1:46 - 1:50
    immediately drop whatever
    your original aim was,
  • 1:50 - 1:51
    and focus instead,
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    entirely on the resistance that they hold.
  • 1:54 - 1:57
    If they refuse to accept something,
  • 1:57 - 2:00
    deal directly with the part of them
    that refuses to accept it.
  • 2:00 - 2:01
    If they're not seeing a truth,
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    stop trying to convince them of it,
  • 2:03 - 2:05
    and instead,
    directly address the resistance
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    to seeing the truth in the first place.
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    I have an image for you
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    that may serve to ingrain
    this concept in you deeper.
  • 2:11 - 2:14
    I want you to imagine that you're
    trying to dance with somebody
  • 2:14 - 2:15
    but every time you go
    try to dance with them,
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    they are swatting you away.
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    It's obvious, they're making it obvious
  • 2:19 - 2:21
    that they don't want to dance.
  • 2:21 - 2:23
    I want you to imagine that in that moment
  • 2:23 - 2:26
    there's a shield that comes
    up in between the two of you.
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    Now if you continue to try
    to dance with this person,
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    you're ignoring and bulldozing
    that shield in front of you.
  • 2:32 - 2:34
    So you need to step back
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    and instead deal with the shield itself
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    or deal with them
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    in understanding why the shield is there,
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    what it needs from you.
  • 2:43 - 2:45
    It's really through that experience
  • 2:45 - 2:47
    of dealing with the resistance
    that you figure out
  • 2:47 - 2:49
    what those little loopholes are
  • 2:49 - 2:52
    or ways that you can help
    that shield come down.
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    But it should go without saying,
  • 2:54 - 2:57
    that this should happen before you
    start trying to dance with them again.
  • 2:57 - 3:00
    This should be the way you
    go about communicating.
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    Continuing to use this analogy,
  • 3:02 - 3:04
    drawing the person's
    attention to this shield,
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    helps them to become aware.
  • 3:06 - 3:08
    It helps them to introduce awareness
    to their own resistance.
  • 3:08 - 3:10
    And this is what begins corroding it.
  • 3:10 - 3:13
    Like a light beam shining
    on a sheet of ice.
  • 3:13 - 3:14
    This is the necessary step to take
  • 3:14 - 3:16
    for acceptance to occur.
  • 3:17 - 3:20
    Acceptance is the opposite
    of denial and avoidance.
  • 3:20 - 3:21
    To accept something
  • 3:21 - 3:24
    is simply to see it as valid and correct.
  • 3:24 - 3:26
    Now to accept something
    has nothing to do
  • 3:26 - 3:28
    with whether you like
    what you're accepting.
  • 3:28 - 3:31
    It has nothing to do with
    whether you condone it or not.
  • 3:31 - 3:32
    it's simply:
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    "I see this as valid or correct enough,
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    that I'm going to open myself
    to the experience of it,
  • 3:38 - 3:40
    rather than close myself off to it."
  • 3:40 - 3:41
    Basically doing this,
  • 3:41 - 3:45
    makes your being consent to
    receiving it and digesting it as truth
  • 3:45 - 3:48
    instead of fighting to not
    acknowledge it and not take it in.
  • 3:48 - 3:51
    Something that may help
    you to not resist resistance,
  • 3:51 - 3:53
    is to realize that a person's resistance
  • 3:53 - 3:56
    always comes from a
    super vulnerable place.
  • 3:57 - 4:00
    These parts of somebody that
    are resistant to seeing a truth,
  • 4:00 - 4:03
    specifically resist seeing that truth
    because it would lead to pain.
  • 4:04 - 4:05
    Everybody wants to avoid pain.
  • 4:05 - 4:08
    I mean, that's like a natural
    inclination for human beings.
  • 4:08 - 4:11
    Therefore the parts of them
    that don't want to see
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    are trying to protect them.
    It's all we're trying to do.
  • 4:13 - 4:15
    And yes, this is even the case
  • 4:15 - 4:17
    when somebody is not seeing something
  • 4:17 - 4:20
    when you see and it's obvious to you
  • 4:20 - 4:24
    that them not seeing it actually
    makes them end up in more pain.
  • 4:24 - 4:26
    Basically, you got to try to remember
  • 4:26 - 4:27
    they're just trying to stay safe.
  • 4:27 - 4:29
    And the safer you can make them feel
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    in the circumstance the less resistance
  • 4:32 - 4:33
    they're gonna have to seeing something.
  • 4:33 - 4:35
    The less pain,
  • 4:36 - 4:38
    the more willing they are to see it.
  • 4:38 - 4:40
    To understand this concept and depth,
  • 4:40 - 4:42
    I want you to watch my video titled:
  • 4:42 - 4:44
    There Is No Such Thing As Self Sabotage.
  • 4:44 - 4:46
    Helping someone to see
  • 4:46 - 4:49
    and really explore their own
    resistance to seeing something,
  • 4:49 - 4:50
    is a bigger gift
  • 4:50 - 4:52
    and always will be
  • 4:52 - 4:53
    than you trying to show them
  • 4:53 - 4:55
    whatever it is you're trying to show them.
  • 4:55 - 4:57
    For example, let's say it's obvious to you
  • 4:57 - 4:59
    that this parent
  • 5:00 - 5:03
    is interacting with their child
    in really self-centered ways.
  • 5:03 - 5:06
    It's obvious to you they're
    projecting all of their own needs
  • 5:06 - 5:07
    and their own desires on the child
  • 5:07 - 5:10
    and holding the child
    accountable to those things.
  • 5:11 - 5:12
    You may want to make them see this,
  • 5:12 - 5:16
    but the thing is that if you drag
    that in front of their awareness,
  • 5:16 - 5:17
    it's gonna cause them to feel shame.
  • 5:17 - 5:20
    They're gonna go into
    instantaneous resistance
  • 5:20 - 5:21
    and they're gonna
    look at you and say:
  • 5:21 - 5:23
    "NO! You aren't seeing this correctly,
  • 5:23 - 5:27
    everything I do, I do for my
    child and their best interests."
  • 5:27 - 5:29
    If you're able to stop
  • 5:29 - 5:33
    and work with their resistance
    to seeing this in the first place,
  • 5:33 - 5:35
    just the resistance itself,
  • 5:35 - 5:37
    what this could actually do
  • 5:37 - 5:39
    is drastically alter their relationship
  • 5:39 - 5:42
    in all sectors of their life,
    to everything.
  • 5:42 - 5:45
    The reason that the shame would
    have been kicked up in this parent
  • 5:45 - 5:49
    is because they believe that being
    self-interested it is not okay.
  • 5:49 - 5:52
    Their own denial and refusal
    to see themselves as self centered
  • 5:52 - 5:54
    will affect all areas of their life,
  • 5:54 - 5:56
    not just their relationship
    with their child.
  • 5:56 - 5:59
    This awareness has the capacity
    to make this person
  • 5:59 - 6:02
    a different and more
    authentic person all around.
  • 6:02 - 6:03
    Someone who does not subconsciously
  • 6:03 - 6:05
    get his or her needs met in a roundabout
  • 6:05 - 6:07
    subconscious or manipulative way.
  • 6:07 - 6:09
    Within a person's resistance
  • 6:09 - 6:11
    is the key to their childhood pain
    and what really needs resolving.
  • 6:11 - 6:12
    In the above scenario,
  • 6:12 - 6:15
    the parent has a trauma around
    their own Self-interests.
  • 6:15 - 6:16
    The condemnation they experienced
  • 6:16 - 6:19
    when trying to meet
    their own needs directly
  • 6:19 - 6:21
    is what created this covert strategy
    of meeting their own needs
  • 6:21 - 6:24
    through their children and
    other people most likely.
  • 6:24 - 6:26
    This is what really needs
    resolving within them.
  • 6:26 - 6:28
    Become aware of what pain
  • 6:28 - 6:30
    or what painful changes
  • 6:30 - 6:32
    are indicated in a person's refusal
  • 6:32 - 6:35
    to see or feel or hear
    or accept something.
  • 6:35 - 6:38
    Become aware of what painful meaning
  • 6:38 - 6:40
    they're adding to an experience,
  • 6:40 - 6:42
    so that they will have
    no incentive to see it.
  • 6:42 - 6:46
    The more consciously willing they
    are to really faced that pain,
  • 6:46 - 6:47
    the more willing they will be
  • 6:47 - 6:49
    to open themselves up to awareness.
  • 6:49 - 6:52
    And the less painful you
    make it for them to do that,
  • 6:52 - 6:54
    the more open and willing they will be
  • 6:54 - 6:56
    to open themselves up to awareness.
  • 6:58 - 7:00
    I've got a better analogy
    I just came up with;
  • 7:01 - 7:05
    Imagine that you're trying
    to dance a waltz with someone,
  • 7:05 - 7:07
    and that person isn't having it,
  • 7:07 - 7:09
    because they're throwing
    up resistance.
  • 7:09 - 7:11
    and let's say the resistance
    they are throwing up
  • 7:11 - 7:13
    is that they're beginning
    to dance the tango.
  • 7:13 - 7:15
    Dance the tango with them instead.
  • 7:15 - 7:17
    Whenever you see resistance come up,
  • 7:17 - 7:19
    dance with the resistance.
  • 7:20 - 7:23
    Doing this means you have
    to get off your rigid stance
  • 7:23 - 7:25
    about the truth
    you're wanting them to see,
  • 7:25 - 7:28
    and instead, approach or deal with
    the resistance itself.
  • 7:28 - 7:32
    Do so with the energy and tonality
    and body language of curiosity.
  • 7:32 - 7:34
    From this place you can ask them,
  • 7:34 - 7:36
    if this thing were true
    and were the reality
  • 7:36 - 7:38
    what would be so bad about that?
  • 7:38 - 7:41
    If this thing were the actual
    truth or the actual reality,
  • 7:41 - 7:44
    what pain could a person avoid
    by refusing to see and accept it?
  • 7:45 - 7:49
    What would it mean about
    you or about the world?
  • 7:49 - 7:51
    You can help them from there,
  • 7:51 - 7:54
    to change their perspective
    relative to the answers they give.
  • 7:54 - 7:57
    You can help them
    to soften their resistance.
  • 7:57 - 8:00
    If you really want someone
    to see the truth,
  • 8:00 - 8:04
    you are never going to be able to
    just force them to see the truth.
  • 8:04 - 8:07
    Instead, you've got to show
    them their own resistance
  • 8:07 - 8:08
    to seeing the truth.
  • 8:08 - 8:11
    And help them
    to work with that resistance.
  • 8:11 - 8:12
    Have a good week.
  • 8:30 - 8:33
