1
00:00:00,039 --> 00:00:02,114
As you probably already know by now,

2
00:00:02,114 --> 00:00:04,969
people can have all kinds 
of subconscious patterns

3
00:00:04,969 --> 00:00:06,793
that they are completely unaware of.

4
00:00:06,793 --> 00:00:08,245
In fact, the subconscious mind

5
00:00:08,245 --> 00:00:10,518
can completely contradict 
the conscious mind.

6
00:00:10,518 --> 00:00:13,240
For example, we may say something like:

7
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,590
"You know I totally love helping people."

8
00:00:15,590 --> 00:00:16,965
But actually down deep

9
00:00:16,965 --> 00:00:19,640
the truth is we don't really 
like helping people at all.

10
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,059
in fact, we just do it for 
a sense of appreciation

11
00:00:22,059 --> 00:00:24,859
and guaranteed alliance and 
if we don't get those things

12
00:00:24,859 --> 00:00:27,010
we regret helping in the first place.

13
00:00:27,010 --> 00:00:28,304
Another example is,

14
00:00:28,304 --> 00:00:30,709
we may have suppressed 
our anger a long time ago

15
00:00:30,709 --> 00:00:34,159
and as a result, even though 
we may be very angry,

16
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,120
we don't even feel the anger.

17
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,190
In fact, we relate to ourselves 
only as a really peaceful person.

18
00:00:40,190 --> 00:00:42,680
I know you've met people like that before.

19
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,795
Now, one of these subconscious patterns

20
00:00:44,795 --> 00:00:47,422
that plays out in our lives,
plays out in relationships.

21
00:00:47,422 --> 00:00:50,710
And if this pattern isn't 
seen directly and resolved,

22
00:00:50,710 --> 00:00:52,750
it can ruin a relationship.

23
00:00:56,655 --> 00:01:01,075
Are You a Friend or a Foe 
Under the Guise of a Friend?

24
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,059
The pattern that makes you 
a foe on a subconscious level

25
00:01:05,059 --> 00:01:06,524
is needing to be the one

26
00:01:06,524 --> 00:01:09,639
to reflect someone's shadows to someone.

27
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:11,434
Or needing to be the one

28
00:01:11,434 --> 00:01:14,479
who calls them out or can call them out.

29
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,439
Obviously being in this 
position in somebody's life

30
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:19,539
is a rather empowering position.

31
00:01:19,539 --> 00:01:22,240
It's a position that gives 
you a lot of pride.

32
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,794
It's tempting to think that 
this is a loving position

33
00:01:24,794 --> 00:01:26,649
to hold in somebody else's life.

34
00:01:26,649 --> 00:01:27,834
When in fact,

35
00:01:27,834 --> 00:01:29,410
there can be and often are

36
00:01:29,410 --> 00:01:33,120
deep, deep shadows involved in why

37
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,425
you want to occupy that 
space in someone's life.

38
00:01:35,425 --> 00:01:37,670
And what you're getting out of it.

39
00:01:37,809 --> 00:01:40,029
People in the awareness community

40
00:01:40,029 --> 00:01:42,589
see "shadow" as two different things.

41
00:01:42,589 --> 00:01:45,689
Basically, they're using the same 
word for two different things.

42
00:01:45,689 --> 00:01:46,764
The first is:

43
00:01:46,764 --> 00:01:48,881
What someone is unconscious of.

44
00:01:48,881 --> 00:01:50,420
The second is:

45
00:01:50,420 --> 00:01:53,399
Something about a person 
that is out of alignment

46
00:01:53,399 --> 00:01:56,169
or bad or wrong.

47
00:01:56,169 --> 00:01:57,853
If I had my way,

48
00:01:57,853 --> 00:01:59,885
we would no longer be 
using the same term

49
00:01:59,885 --> 00:02:02,048
for both of these states.

50
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,710
Because,

51
00:02:03,710 --> 00:02:06,739
the shadow is what you're
unconscious of right?

52
00:02:06,739 --> 00:02:08,444
Once you become conscious of it,

53
00:02:08,444 --> 00:02:10,059
we can no longer call it a shadow.

54
00:02:10,059 --> 00:02:11,754
So what are we really talking about

55
00:02:11,754 --> 00:02:14,682
when we're referring to something 
about a person that's out of alignment

56
00:02:14,682 --> 00:02:17,090
bad or wrong according to our judgment?

57
00:02:17,090 --> 00:02:19,980
Obviously anytime we have a 
judgment we need to question it.

58
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:20,920
That being said,

59
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:24,169
sometimes you can accurately feel 
the "offness" of certain patterns

60
00:02:24,169 --> 00:02:25,709
within yourself or others.

61
00:02:25,709 --> 00:02:28,329
Meaning that something a person 
is thinking saying or doing

62
00:02:28,329 --> 00:02:30,744
is not in alignment with 
their desires, well-being

63
00:02:30,744 --> 00:02:32,669
and perhaps the well-being of others.

64
00:02:32,669 --> 00:02:34,880
This pattern of being out of alignment

65
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,974
in some way,

66
00:02:35,974 --> 00:02:37,761
is what many people call the shadow.

67
00:02:37,761 --> 00:02:40,095
But what I would prefer 
is if we called this:

68
00:02:40,095 --> 00:02:41,970
"Someone's Misalignment"

69
00:02:41,970 --> 00:02:44,190
What we have to consider 
is that the reason

70
00:02:44,190 --> 00:02:47,439
that we perceive something to 
be "off" about somebody else

71
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:51,109
may actually be because of 
something that is "off" about us.

72
00:02:51,109 --> 00:02:53,609
So often when we see something

73
00:02:53,609 --> 00:02:56,039
that is bad wrong or out of alignment

74
00:02:56,039 --> 00:02:57,460
with somebody else,

75
00:02:57,460 --> 00:02:59,224
what's actually happening there

76
00:02:59,224 --> 00:03:03,189
is that they are out of alignment 
with what we want for them.

77
00:03:03,189 --> 00:03:04,424
But here's the thing,

78
00:03:04,424 --> 00:03:06,429
our desires for what we want for somebody

79
00:03:06,429 --> 00:03:09,599
are so often because of what 
we want for ourselves.

80
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,454
So it really has nothing to 
do with that other person.

81
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,235
A better way of putting this is that

82
00:03:15,235 --> 00:03:17,700
we run the risk of thinking 
that somebody else is

83
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:19,080
misaligned

84
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,460
in conditions when actually 
what their misaligned with,

85
00:03:22,460 --> 00:03:24,860
is not their own desires 
and their own needs

86
00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:26,110
and their own well-being,

87
00:03:26,110 --> 00:03:28,320
but actually our overlay.

88
00:03:28,430 --> 00:03:30,885
To understand this in depth, 
watch my video titled:

89
00:03:30,885 --> 00:03:34,040
OVERLAY (What Prevents You 
From Having a Real Relationship)

90
00:03:34,050 --> 00:03:36,075
When it comes to this particular pattern

91
00:03:36,075 --> 00:03:37,930
that I'm going to talk about today,

92
00:03:37,930 --> 00:03:40,509
it is you that is actually in 
a state of misalignment

93
00:03:40,509 --> 00:03:42,149
looking at somebody else

94
00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:44,689
in terms of their misalignment.

95
00:03:44,690 --> 00:03:47,185
It is obvious that if 
people are close to us

96
00:03:47,185 --> 00:03:49,970
they may perceive things about 
us that we're not aware of.

97
00:03:49,970 --> 00:03:52,680
They may see where we are misaligned.

98
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,854
When a person in our life really loves us

99
00:03:54,854 --> 00:03:58,089
the energy behind them making us 
aware of these things is an assist.

100
00:03:58,089 --> 00:04:01,220
It feels pure because there's no 
subconscious strategy on their end.

101
00:04:01,220 --> 00:04:03,970
But if there is a subconscious 
strategy behind this reflection,

102
00:04:03,970 --> 00:04:06,155
no matter how much the person 
thinks they're telling us

103
00:04:06,155 --> 00:04:07,980
what they're telling 
us for our own good,

104
00:04:07,980 --> 00:04:10,625
it will feel like they're taking 
something away from us

105
00:04:10,625 --> 00:04:13,580
instead of adding to our 
well-being by assisting us.

106
00:04:13,580 --> 00:04:16,409
Taking pride in or being identified with

107
00:04:16,409 --> 00:04:19,839
being the one in someone's life that 
can reflect their shadow to them,

108
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,319
being the one who calls 
them on their shit,

109
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:25,440
feels bad, because it's 
actually a power play.

110
00:04:25,570 --> 00:04:27,959
Inherent in it is the energy of:

111
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:29,754
"I challenge and oppose you"

112
00:04:29,754 --> 00:04:32,089
instead of: "I assist you".

113
00:04:32,089 --> 00:04:35,539
If you have this particular 
"shadow" about yourself,

114
00:04:35,539 --> 00:04:37,574
this identification with 
being this person

115
00:04:37,574 --> 00:04:39,439
in somebody else's life, the truth,

116
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:42,449
down deep at the core, 
is that you don't trust anyone.

117
00:04:42,610 --> 00:04:45,225
You've slipped into the 
illusion of self and other.

118
00:04:45,225 --> 00:04:46,892
You're not practicing love because

119
00:04:46,892 --> 00:04:49,360
you do not actually see the other 
person as a part of yourself.

120
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,425
Therefore what you can't 
see about yourself

121
00:04:51,425 --> 00:04:54,880
is that you call people on 
their shadows out of fear.

122
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,710
It's all about your 
sense of well-being,

123
00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:58,690
rather than it is about the 
well-being of the person

124
00:04:58,690 --> 00:05:00,610
you're trying to reflect something to.

125
00:05:00,610 --> 00:05:02,295
Another harsh reality 
you have to accept

126
00:05:02,295 --> 00:05:04,407
is that if this is the role 
you're identified with,

127
00:05:04,407 --> 00:05:07,600
being in other people's lives or 
specifically in one person's life,

128
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,350
the person you're doing that with,

129
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:12,895
you don't actually see is a good person.

130
00:05:12,895 --> 00:05:15,380
You don't actually trust them.

131
00:05:15,380 --> 00:05:17,274
Basically, you see them as the bad guy.

132
00:05:17,274 --> 00:05:19,680
Whether you are willing 
to admit to it or not.

133
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,154
You distrust their capacity 
to see themselves,

134
00:05:22,154 --> 00:05:23,870
you distrust their internal compass

135
00:05:23,870 --> 00:05:26,320
and you distrust them with yourself 
and distress them with others.

136
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,080
And so on a subconscious level,

137
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,320
you try to use their 
vulnerability against them

138
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,880
for the sake of your own safety.

139
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,740
In that moment where 
you're able to see

140
00:05:33,740 --> 00:05:36,870
and show them something about 
themselves that they don't see,

141
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:38,224
in that second,

142
00:05:38,224 --> 00:05:40,541
you actually feel safer than ever,

143
00:05:40,541 --> 00:05:43,260
because you feel the safety inherent

144
00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:45,530
in that win

145
00:05:45,530 --> 00:05:47,810
of superiority.

146
00:05:47,810 --> 00:05:50,530
You have won up them.

147
00:05:50,530 --> 00:05:53,050
When this pattern becomes even unhealthier

148
00:05:53,050 --> 00:05:54,680
is when people use this pattern

149
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,970
to create endearment with someone.

150
00:05:56,970 --> 00:05:58,605
The way that they do this

151
00:05:58,605 --> 00:06:00,882
is by convincing the other person

152
00:06:00,882 --> 00:06:02,661
that they are the only ones

153
00:06:02,661 --> 00:06:04,680
that can truly see them.

154
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,094
"I'm the only one that can 
really see your shadow

155
00:06:07,094 --> 00:06:09,669
and you've got to keep me 
around because I'm the one

156
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:11,310
that calls you on your bullshit."

157
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,230
Sounds loving right?

158
00:06:13,230 --> 00:06:14,560
It's not.

159
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,225
It means you see yourself 
as indispensable to them.

160
00:06:17,225 --> 00:06:20,470
And then try to convince them 
that you're indispensable

161
00:06:20,470 --> 00:06:22,679
and that they must defer 
to your judgment.

162
00:06:22,679 --> 00:06:25,834
Specifically because no-one else 
is as good at seeing their shadow

163
00:06:25,834 --> 00:06:28,096
and therefore no one 
else can really see them

164
00:06:28,096 --> 00:06:30,099
as clearly as you can.

165
00:06:30,350 --> 00:06:32,330
This isolates them.

166
00:06:32,330 --> 00:06:35,485
Their health and well-being now 
depends on keeping you around

167
00:06:35,485 --> 00:06:37,582
to see the bad and wrong 
things about them,

168
00:06:37,582 --> 00:06:39,410
that they cannot see about themselves.

169
00:06:39,410 --> 00:06:42,324
The underlying message here 
that's being conveyed is:

170
00:06:42,324 --> 00:06:44,161
"I'm the one that really sees you

171
00:06:44,161 --> 00:06:46,549
and it just so happens 
that it's not so good."

172
00:06:46,549 --> 00:06:49,653
If you're one of the people who 
establishes this type of pattern

173
00:06:49,653 --> 00:06:52,538
in relationships the truth is 
you don't actually see them.

174
00:06:52,538 --> 00:06:53,614
At all!

175
00:06:53,614 --> 00:06:54,832
What you do see,

176
00:06:54,832 --> 00:06:58,890
is every pattern within them that 
could potentially pose a threat to you.

177
00:06:59,110 --> 00:07:00,719
This conscious pattern

178
00:07:00,719 --> 00:07:03,514
is much easier to see in circumstances

179
00:07:03,514 --> 00:07:07,829
where you have a person who's 
in a position of recognized power.

180
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,000
Now if in your childhood especially

181
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,870
or some point in your life,

182
00:07:12,870 --> 00:07:15,994
you were put in the position 
where someone else had power.

183
00:07:15,994 --> 00:07:18,596
And based on them having 
more power than you had,

184
00:07:18,596 --> 00:07:20,279
you got hurt.

185
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:21,949
Power in and of itself

186
00:07:21,949 --> 00:07:24,419
is going to be a trigger for you.

187
00:07:24,660 --> 00:07:27,389
Essentially what I need you 
to recognize about yourself,

188
00:07:27,389 --> 00:07:30,254
if you're in this pattern, is that 
you don't recognize power

189
00:07:30,254 --> 00:07:31,619
as a good thing ever.

190
00:07:31,619 --> 00:07:33,480
It's only ever a bad thing.

191
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,834
This means that all it takes for 
you to see somebody as a bad guy

192
00:07:36,834 --> 00:07:39,039
and to get into this pattern with them,

193
00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:41,588
is for them to have more power than you.

194
00:07:41,588 --> 00:07:43,378
For them to be an achiever.

195
00:07:43,378 --> 00:07:45,410
For them to be a boss.

196
00:07:45,410 --> 00:07:46,954
For them to be an authority.

197
00:07:46,954 --> 00:07:48,466
For them to be an expert.

198
00:07:48,466 --> 00:07:50,082
For them to be more of anything.

199
00:07:50,082 --> 00:07:52,519
More beautiful more wealthy more famous.

200
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:55,679
Anything that makes you perceive 
that they hold more power,

201
00:07:55,679 --> 00:07:58,839
kicks you into this place

202
00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:00,904
where you see them as the bad guy.

203
00:08:00,904 --> 00:08:03,529
And thus, react as if they are.

204
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:07,959
A person is going to react to 
this if they have this pattern,

205
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:09,989
in one of two ways;

206
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:13,463
Either they are going to be so preoccupied

207
00:08:13,463 --> 00:08:17,718
with being the one in 
power in all situations,

208
00:08:17,989 --> 00:08:20,889
meaning: "I always have 
to have the upper hand",

209
00:08:20,889 --> 00:08:24,269
or they're going to be a person 
who makes such an enemy

210
00:08:24,269 --> 00:08:25,559
of power,

211
00:08:25,559 --> 00:08:27,729
that it becomes their,

212
00:08:27,729 --> 00:08:29,934
let's call it, calling in life,

213
00:08:29,934 --> 00:08:33,549
to demolish power and 
to establish an egalitarian

214
00:08:33,549 --> 00:08:35,549
type of regime.

215
00:08:35,729 --> 00:08:38,034
Basically, they'll want to live in a place

216
00:08:38,034 --> 00:08:41,310
where hierarchy does not exist 
and everyone's equal at all times.

217
00:08:41,310 --> 00:08:44,649
No one ever has power over anyone else.

218
00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:47,374
I can personally attest to this pattern,

219
00:08:47,374 --> 00:08:50,066
I see it almost every day in my career.

220
00:08:50,516 --> 00:08:52,099
The reason is,

221
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,249
obviously, in the world,

222
00:08:54,249 --> 00:08:55,874
based off of my purpose and career

223
00:08:55,874 --> 00:08:57,499
I've been put in a position

224
00:08:57,499 --> 00:09:00,430
where I have both power and authority

225
00:09:00,430 --> 00:09:01,989
relative to awareness

226
00:09:01,989 --> 00:09:04,089
and relative to seeing things.

227
00:09:04,089 --> 00:09:05,739
Especially shadows.

228
00:09:05,739 --> 00:09:08,539
Now obviously, for people 
who are triggered by this

229
00:09:08,539 --> 00:09:12,139
there's nothing more alluring 
than seeing things about me

230
00:09:12,139 --> 00:09:15,369
that I don't see about myself.

231
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,000
There is no more superior position

232
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,480
you can have with someone 
in my particular position

233
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,750
than to be the one who sees the 
shadows of the shadow seer.

234
00:09:24,750 --> 00:09:28,819
Or to be the one that is more aware 
than the awareness leader.

235
00:09:29,090 --> 00:09:31,049
People with this shadow

236
00:09:31,049 --> 00:09:32,519
use two excuses,

237
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:35,569
mainly, in order to defend or justify

238
00:09:35,569 --> 00:09:38,404
this unhealthy pattern within themselves.

239
00:09:38,404 --> 00:09:39,799
The first is,

240
00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:42,603
it's easy to see things about other people

241
00:09:42,603 --> 00:09:44,955
and it's not easy to see 
things about yourself.

242
00:09:44,955 --> 00:09:47,628
In other words, you can't 
see your own shit.

243
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,290
Now, what's interesting about this

244
00:09:50,290 --> 00:09:52,169
is they're taking a universal truth,

245
00:09:52,169 --> 00:09:54,959
which is it's much easier to see 
things about other people

246
00:09:54,959 --> 00:09:56,664
than it is to see about yourself,

247
00:09:56,664 --> 00:09:58,639
to justify this behavior.

248
00:09:58,930 --> 00:10:01,799
The other excuse that people use

249
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:03,943
or proof people find to back up this,

250
00:10:03,943 --> 00:10:05,465
or justify this behavior,

251
00:10:05,465 --> 00:10:08,338
is: "Just take a look at history."

252
00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:11,100
Again, they're using a truth

253
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:13,890
to back up unhealthy behavior.

254
00:10:13,890 --> 00:10:15,084
And that truth is:

255
00:10:15,084 --> 00:10:17,131
that they can look all 
throughout history

256
00:10:17,131 --> 00:10:18,935
at people who have had power,

257
00:10:18,935 --> 00:10:20,849
who have turned into Tyrants

258
00:10:20,849 --> 00:10:23,589
based off of not being 
able to see themselves.

259
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,108
People with this shadow

260
00:10:25,108 --> 00:10:26,778
hate "Yes People"

261
00:10:26,778 --> 00:10:28,633
and perceived these historical tyrants

262
00:10:28,633 --> 00:10:30,648
to have been surrounded by "Yes People".

263
00:10:30,648 --> 00:10:33,688
"Yes People" of course being people 
who never oppose the tyrant

264
00:10:33,688 --> 00:10:35,930
and therefore enable horrible things.

265
00:10:35,930 --> 00:10:38,565
But here's where I'm going 
to take this resistance

266
00:10:38,565 --> 00:10:42,102
that you have towards these 
types of people in history

267
00:10:42,102 --> 00:10:43,969
and drop it down a level.

268
00:10:43,969 --> 00:10:45,874
The real anger

269
00:10:45,874 --> 00:10:49,460
that people with this pattern 
have towards "Yes People"

270
00:10:49,460 --> 00:10:51,884
is actually the anger that they had

271
00:10:51,884 --> 00:10:53,886
towards the person in their life

272
00:10:53,886 --> 00:10:55,610
that enabled

273
00:10:55,610 --> 00:10:57,775
the tyrant in their life

274
00:10:57,775 --> 00:11:00,630
that used their power against them,

275
00:11:00,630 --> 00:11:03,360
to do what they did.

276
00:11:03,630 --> 00:11:06,779
Essentially it's their pain
at never being defended

277
00:11:06,779 --> 00:11:09,884
in case you want to look into this, 
It's called bystander trauma

278
00:11:09,884 --> 00:11:11,259
or enabling trauma.

279
00:11:11,260 --> 00:11:12,909
Due to all this pattern

280
00:11:12,909 --> 00:11:14,474
that I've just exposed to you,

281
00:11:14,474 --> 00:11:15,846
people with this pattern,

282
00:11:15,846 --> 00:11:17,809
tend to play the devil's advocate.

283
00:11:17,809 --> 00:11:19,439
Like, all the time.

284
00:11:19,439 --> 00:11:21,584
Playing the devil's advocate 
in the scenario

285
00:11:21,584 --> 00:11:23,776
is an attempt to get 
someone they already see

286
00:11:23,776 --> 00:11:25,619
as the bad guy in a 
position of power,

287
00:11:25,619 --> 00:11:28,340
to consider the other which they 
perceived to be the underdog.

288
00:11:28,340 --> 00:11:30,209
Because they're identified 
with the underdog.

289
00:11:30,209 --> 00:11:32,154
What they're defending 
through Devils Advocacy

290
00:11:32,154 --> 00:11:34,159
is really the disempowered 
part of themselves.

291
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:37,273
Essentially they try to keep 
you both safe and good

292
00:11:37,273 --> 00:11:40,118
by knocking you down, 
so you never have power.

293
00:11:40,118 --> 00:11:42,213
It may be interesting for you to note

294
00:11:42,213 --> 00:11:44,839
something about this pattern 
of devil's advocacy,

295
00:11:44,839 --> 00:11:47,514
if you know people in your life 
who like to play this pattern out

296
00:11:47,514 --> 00:11:49,350
and tend to always play 
the devil's advocate.

297
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:51,664
I'm going to tell you a little bit 
about the psychology here

298
00:11:51,664 --> 00:11:54,639
and I hope I can describe it in 
a way that you understand it.

299
00:11:54,710 --> 00:11:57,299
People who play devil's advocate,

300
00:11:57,299 --> 00:12:00,069
tend to feel when someone's upset,

301
00:12:00,069 --> 00:12:02,954
that the person on the 
other side of that upset

302
00:12:02,954 --> 00:12:05,129
is going to get hurt.

303
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,999
Now when they perceive that 
that person is going to get hurt,

304
00:12:08,999 --> 00:12:10,720
that makes them

305
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,574
suddenly the perceived victim

306
00:12:12,574 --> 00:12:14,401
and thus the perceived underdog.

307
00:12:14,401 --> 00:12:16,995
Because they see themselves 
as the underdog

308
00:12:16,995 --> 00:12:19,189
and that's actually 
where they identify,

309
00:12:19,189 --> 00:12:21,609
they will then go into a position

310
00:12:21,609 --> 00:12:23,589
of having to defend that person.

311
00:12:23,589 --> 00:12:25,259
So their alliance

312
00:12:25,259 --> 00:12:26,790
will be with the person

313
00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:29,379
whoever they're talking to, is upset at.

314
00:12:29,379 --> 00:12:31,969
Now, the reason that it's super confusing

315
00:12:31,969 --> 00:12:34,314
why the hell does this person 
defend that person

316
00:12:34,314 --> 00:12:36,600
then 10 seconds later 
defend the other person is

317
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,480
they would do the same 
thing on the other side.

318
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,020
If they were standing 
next to that person

319
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:42,420
and they were upset at you, 
suddenly the upset suggests

320
00:12:42,420 --> 00:12:43,800
you could get hurt,

321
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,340
the fact that you could get hurt

322
00:12:45,340 --> 00:12:47,840
means you're now the underdog they 
identify with you and they play

323
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,750
the devil's advocate to that person.

324
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:52,089
Okay, so basically to 
summarize it very simply

325
00:12:52,089 --> 00:12:53,729
the minute someone could get hurt

326
00:12:53,730 --> 00:12:55,009
they become the underdog,

327
00:12:55,009 --> 00:12:56,569
the one that could get hurt

328
00:12:56,569 --> 00:12:58,969
and thus this makes the 
person identify with them

329
00:12:58,969 --> 00:13:00,970
and argue on behalf of them.

330
00:13:00,970 --> 00:13:03,585
Again, they will subconsciously 
be defending themselves

331
00:13:03,585 --> 00:13:07,150
and their position of perceived 
powerlessness vicariously.

332
00:13:07,770 --> 00:13:10,630
And now, just when you thought we had

333
00:13:10,630 --> 00:13:12,329
dug as deep as we could,

334
00:13:12,329 --> 00:13:15,489
we're gonna have to go one layer deeper.

335
00:13:15,489 --> 00:13:16,709
~ Laughter ~

336
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,090
When a child is put in the position

337
00:13:19,090 --> 00:13:20,705
where somebody in their life

338
00:13:20,705 --> 00:13:23,272
has this power and it's using 
this power against them,

339
00:13:23,272 --> 00:13:26,630
and it becomes an unsafe or 
perceived to be unsafe situation,

340
00:13:26,630 --> 00:13:30,019
the child copes with this by 
letting go of their identity.

341
00:13:30,019 --> 00:13:33,170
They become whatever pleases

342
00:13:33,170 --> 00:13:36,660
this tyrant of a powerful adult.

343
00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:39,759
Now obviously when they have 
to give themselves up in this way,

344
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:42,019
they're not happy about it.

345
00:13:42,140 --> 00:13:45,024
Often when they begin to 
heal out of this pattern,

346
00:13:45,024 --> 00:13:47,096
instead of focusing on what they want

347
00:13:47,096 --> 00:13:48,420
and what their feelings are

348
00:13:48,420 --> 00:13:52,250
and what they're thinking and 
going after their unique desires,

349
00:13:52,740 --> 00:13:54,860
they turn against

350
00:13:54,860 --> 00:13:57,240
anyone in a position of power.

351
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,700
Basically,

352
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:01,620
rebellion is their only way 
to feel a sense of self.

353
00:14:01,620 --> 00:14:03,949
They can only feel definition

354
00:14:03,949 --> 00:14:07,004
for who they are and what they 
want and don't want and whatever,

355
00:14:07,004 --> 00:14:09,809
when they're in opposition to something.

356
00:14:10,290 --> 00:14:12,885
This means antagonism is their only way

357
00:14:12,885 --> 00:14:15,260
to feel a sense of self.

358
00:14:15,450 --> 00:14:17,564
So let's pretend you've watch this video

359
00:14:17,564 --> 00:14:20,559
and you can recognize this 
particular pattern within yourself.

360
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:23,469
I'm gonna give you some suggestions 
for what you need to do.

361
00:14:23,469 --> 00:14:24,560
The first thing;

362
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,715
Stop being concerned with whether or not

363
00:14:26,715 --> 00:14:30,470
somebody can see their 
own shadows in general.

364
00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:32,340
If you're in this pattern,

365
00:14:32,340 --> 00:14:34,065
what you have to recognize is you

366
00:14:34,065 --> 00:14:37,740
don't actually trust the person 
on the other side of this.

367
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,440
Obviously, the focus then 
needs to be placed on:

368
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,530
"Why don't I trust this person?"

369
00:14:42,690 --> 00:14:44,619
"How do I trust this person?"

370
00:14:44,619 --> 00:14:46,890
"Is this person really unworthy of trust?"

371
00:14:46,890 --> 00:14:49,330
"Or is it me that's just 
projecting that on to them

372
00:14:49,330 --> 00:14:51,590
based off of my previous experiences?"

373
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:53,200
The real thing you need

374
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,285
is not for them to see their shadow,

375
00:14:55,285 --> 00:14:58,750
it's for you to have more personal power.

376
00:14:58,750 --> 00:15:02,390
And in this situation you're 
powerless to your own shadow.

377
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,185
One thing you need to see is that 
power was never the problem.

378
00:15:06,185 --> 00:15:08,950
I mean never ever the problem.

379
00:15:09,860 --> 00:15:12,740
Power doesn't corrupt.

380
00:15:12,740 --> 00:15:14,415
Even though you've been told that.

381
00:15:14,415 --> 00:15:16,920
Even though it seems like that's 
the way that the world works.

382
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,324
Power doesn't corrupt.

383
00:15:18,324 --> 00:15:22,209
All power does, is it magnifies 
someone's actual character.

384
00:15:22,220 --> 00:15:24,309
It just becomes more

385
00:15:24,309 --> 00:15:26,684
of what a person already is.

386
00:15:26,684 --> 00:15:27,649
Right?

387
00:15:27,649 --> 00:15:29,524
So I want you to think about power

388
00:15:29,524 --> 00:15:31,002
as if it's fire.

389
00:15:31,002 --> 00:15:33,500
A person could possess a lot of fire,

390
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:35,949
but obviously if that person 
wants to hurt someone,

391
00:15:35,949 --> 00:15:38,450
they're gonna do something 
different with that fire

392
00:15:38,450 --> 00:15:41,799
than somebody who wants 
to make people feel good.

393
00:15:41,890 --> 00:15:43,424
So it's not about power.

394
00:15:43,424 --> 00:15:45,261
It's about the person who holds it,

395
00:15:45,261 --> 00:15:47,919
and what their whole MO is.

396
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,599
Perhaps the most important and 
critical thing for you to be doing

397
00:15:52,599 --> 00:15:54,399
is to focus on developing

398
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:56,910
a healthy and a strong sense of self.

399
00:15:56,910 --> 00:15:58,220
For this reason,

400
00:15:58,220 --> 00:15:59,400
I have a few videos

401
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,220
that will help you immensely,

402
00:16:01,220 --> 00:16:02,735
if you have this pattern.

403
00:16:02,735 --> 00:16:03,912
The first is:

404
00:16:03,912 --> 00:16:07,380
Personal Boundaries versus Oneness 
(How to Develop Healthy Boundaries)

405
00:16:07,380 --> 00:16:08,555
The second is:

406
00:16:08,555 --> 00:16:09,932
How To Be Authentic

407
00:16:09,932 --> 00:16:10,951
and the third is:

408
00:16:10,951 --> 00:16:13,400
People Are Not All Equal

409
00:16:13,940 --> 00:16:15,330
The next thing is,

410
00:16:15,330 --> 00:16:18,460
we have to try to really fully 
understand something

411
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:21,055
that someone is doing and 
understand that person,

412
00:16:21,055 --> 00:16:23,792
before we automatically 
judge it as bad or wrong

413
00:16:23,792 --> 00:16:25,700
or out of alignment or shadow.

414
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:28,555
It's only after we face our 
own resistance to things

415
00:16:28,555 --> 00:16:31,720
that the truth about that 
thing can finally emerge.

416
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,054
For example,

417
00:16:33,054 --> 00:16:35,589
let's say that we have a lot of...

418
00:16:35,690 --> 00:16:38,109
Judgement about dressing sexy.

419
00:16:38,109 --> 00:16:39,979
It's out of alignment

420
00:16:39,979 --> 00:16:42,440
with who that person should be.

421
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,224
You can't actually know that

422
00:16:44,224 --> 00:16:47,400
until you face your own 
resistance to dressing sexy.

423
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,084
1) "Where did I get the idea 
that this isn't Okay?"

424
00:16:50,084 --> 00:16:51,769
2) "Why do I feel it isn't Okay?"

425
00:16:51,769 --> 00:16:53,174
Facing the emotions,

426
00:16:53,174 --> 00:16:55,240
that reaction I have to it.

427
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,550
It's only by facing your resistance

428
00:16:57,550 --> 00:17:01,135
that the actual truth about 
dressing sexy, in this case,

429
00:17:01,135 --> 00:17:03,460
will rise to the surface.

430
00:17:03,830 --> 00:17:07,040
The next thing you have 
to do is to practice love.

431
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,690
I know that that sounds like a new-age

432
00:17:09,690 --> 00:17:12,420
kind of a fairy tallish way 
of approaching the world.

433
00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:13,990
~ Giggles ~

434
00:17:14,430 --> 00:17:15,900
But here's the thing;

435
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:18,920
To love somebody is to take 
them as a part of yourself.

436
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,249
Now if you really understand those words,

437
00:17:21,249 --> 00:17:23,009
I mean at a visceral level,

438
00:17:23,009 --> 00:17:25,899
you will see that it is probably 
the most difficult practice

439
00:17:25,899 --> 00:17:27,379
you could ever do.

440
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:28,990
Ever!

441
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,629
What practicing love does

442
00:17:31,629 --> 00:17:34,409
is it demolishes power dynamics.

443
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,725
To understand more about this,

444
00:17:36,725 --> 00:17:38,877
you can feel free to 
watch my video titled:

445
00:17:38,877 --> 00:17:40,530
What is Love?

446
00:17:40,530 --> 00:17:43,104
When you are actually 
in the practice of love,

447
00:17:43,104 --> 00:17:45,391
the reflections you give someone,

448
00:17:45,391 --> 00:17:49,240
if you show them someplace that 
you feel like they're misaligned,

449
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,449
the energy you will be doing this with

450
00:17:51,449 --> 00:17:53,094
is not against them.

451
00:17:53,094 --> 00:17:55,356
It's gonna be for them.

452
00:17:55,576 --> 00:17:57,809
And there's no way to fake this.

453
00:17:57,809 --> 00:17:59,843
If you are doing something

454
00:17:59,843 --> 00:18:02,870
for all of these subconscious 
reasons that I've just explained,

455
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:04,348
as part of this shadow,

456
00:18:04,348 --> 00:18:07,053
it doesn't matter if you say 
that it's for someone

457
00:18:07,053 --> 00:18:08,859
or if you even think it's for them.

458
00:18:08,859 --> 00:18:10,604
It will be completely obvious,

459
00:18:10,604 --> 00:18:12,546
because of the energy behind it,

460
00:18:12,546 --> 00:18:14,160
that it isn't.

461
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,354
In other words, it's important to realize

462
00:18:16,354 --> 00:18:19,829
that we can be in complete denial,

463
00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:22,659
telling ourselves that 
something is for someone,

464
00:18:22,659 --> 00:18:24,319
when it's really against them.

465
00:18:24,319 --> 00:18:28,104
Also, we can be in 
complete and total denial

466
00:18:28,104 --> 00:18:31,326
that we are doing something for 
the best interest of someone else,

467
00:18:31,326 --> 00:18:33,539
when really the only 
reason we're doing it

468
00:18:33,539 --> 00:18:35,530
is for our own best interests.

469
00:18:35,530 --> 00:18:37,910
When someone does present 
an opposing opinion

470
00:18:37,910 --> 00:18:40,750
or show someone their shadows 
from outside that shadow,

471
00:18:40,750 --> 00:18:42,349
the flavor of it changes,

472
00:18:42,349 --> 00:18:44,420
from a shadow to an assist.

473
00:18:44,420 --> 00:18:46,529
It doesn't register as a rebellion,

474
00:18:46,529 --> 00:18:49,449
as antagonism or as a power play.

475
00:18:49,610 --> 00:18:51,739
Resolve the shadow within yourself,

476
00:18:51,739 --> 00:18:54,249
or else, you will be a foe not a friend.

477
00:18:54,249 --> 00:18:56,049
It will be more dangerous than that,

478
00:18:56,049 --> 00:18:58,470
you will be a foe in the 
disguise of a friend.

479
00:18:58,470 --> 00:19:00,400
And also, I want to remind you

480
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,535
that at this rather psychological 
and basic level of conversation

481
00:19:03,535 --> 00:19:05,390
that we've been having today,

482
00:19:05,390 --> 00:19:08,400
the devil doesn't really 
need more advocates.

483
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,100
Have a good week.

484
00:19:26,926 --> 00:19:29,286
