Be real, be balanced, and work at that . Now when someone lies to me or tries to take advantage i just quickly and simply say "i do not have time for those games in my life, so please go away."

That's great advice for people who are self-centered and separated from the source, but there are a lot of people that are the other way, full of purpose and spirit but in denial of their body and own needs, so they can't perform to help the world. When they feel good about something, they think they are being selfish. One can only find purpose when the two sides are in balance and you allow to be moved by joy instead of pain and suffering. If we all find what brings us joy (and I mean the joy that comes from the soul, not the one that comes from eating an ice cream:), if we find the joy that makes our hearts vibrate and makes our eyes burst with tears of joy, then we'll find a purpose that serves a higher good. Joy is the sign that we are doing God's work and connected to the source, so bringing to the world what is in heaven.

Then life can become a celebration with joy spilling out of the smiles of everyone. Like Love (god) intended for life to be in the first place. Because Love (god) spent billions of years creating this paradise planet lifeboat so that her miraculous works of fine art called "life" have a beautiful place to "be".

From what I have realized service to others is what will create purpose and balance within oneself. It's not all about what can I give/do for me... example; Where am I lacking? We're too focused on me, me, me. Service will give one a wonderful balance, as well a sense of purpose. There are so many teenagers/youth right now that need loving guidance. Donating your time to the youth who will become our future is so valuable. If people want purpose? This is a great sense of purpose, a great place to start in service to others, 3 hours a week to start. There's so many children who really needs to have someone to look up to nowadays more than ever. That little bit of time that one might give. Wiuld really make a difference in that child/teenagers life. In doing this valuable service you are creating such a huge and beautiful ripple effect. Not only those lives that you influence.

[@svenheuseveldt7188]

Been having a hard time with having connections. Had very close friends when I was young but then graduately started drifting apart and never really had a close friend since then, still don't and I have been trying and I seen my progress but still feel absolutely hopeless and nihilistic in moments like this. My pproblem is actually making and having friends, I don't know how to and my nihilistic view doesn't always make me a pleasant person to be around.

[@TMcGlynn23]

Maybe start with being your own friend first and then expressing that feeling. Love yours

[@lightawake]

Some advice that worked for me was: be friendly with everyone presently around me and create lots of little connections (even if I'm not all that interested in them). This will open up to connecting with others. Instead of looking for a perfect friendship, focussing on creating differing degrees of connections with those already around me.

[@ruthfourie7499]

lightawake great advice. Everything starts with small steps.

[@Grungefan2018]

Same here. The profound hopelessness after finally giving up and now trying to reverse that at 57 feels overwhelming and too late . Conventional treatments not helping. It feels infinitely worse when my sister tries to help but gets so frustrated because I'm not making progress. I'm not doing this on purpose. Its insidious and just kept getting worse over the years even when I tried to change it and had some hope left.

[@alicute1661]

I suffer with some mental health issues, which at times prevents me from having any sense of being and I lose touch with myself. This video allowed a moment of reflection and it highlighted to me that though life may seem to have no purpose, it does; the purpose of simply being alive. And with that understanding, LIVE. Seek to focus on self-love, go out into the world and explore, meet new people, try new things, do the things you enjoy with passion, hold your loved ones, make someone smile, maybe sit in the sunshine or dip your toes in a river surrounded by nature. Just live true to yourself and try to focus on the bare necessities.

In the end there will always be balance, don’t worry Russel, the world will change according to the collective mind. Sometimes getting people alert from the conspiracies in the world will change their thoughts and directions. It’s better if they connect to the collective mind alone. So purpose is just the path you were born in.

[@graylie7771]

You are so refreshing, your ideas, I mean!

[@alabaster253]

Perfect video from Russell. One point I’d add is from us self loathers who have had the opposite problem of selfishness he refers to. I grew up in a culture (religious and in my family) where I was told in order to be a good person, I had to give, give, give. If I ever had a concern for myself, or want or need, I was selfish. I’ve had to heal that and have needed to learn to have more love for myself and assert myself more, in order to have an authentic purpose in community. But I’ve have been trying to “find my purpose” for years. I felt I could see and experience external truths easily, but had so much difficulty with clarity of my Self. Gabor Mate helped me with the How’s initially… for example realizing that clearing away my self limiting beliefs, false beliefs, coping mechanisms (like peeling away onion layers), only then I’d be left with my authentic self and find my purpose. And that purpose can change over time, but analyzing what life has been trying to teach me in my struggles is extremely helpful. It is not to be found by learning more from external sources. There is much more to this topic I think someone should right a book about it.

Your so intelligent and I learn new phrases or words every time I watch a vid! You must have a mad high IQ would love to speak to you in real life I’m struggling to find meaning I look how I want but never feel good about myself . Basically I was homeless begging and slept in the woods in a tent on my own for 5 months and in the streets a years and even my own family once walked past me day after day of people doing this and having nothing must have marked me . I have no confidence I don’t like asking for anything and just feel not important like half a man !

I feel myself rooting for Russell as if were my brother or something. He is so relatable to me. Maybe it’s because of my own journey with being a recovering addict, parent, meditation enthusiast, spiritually awakening, peAce loving, artsy rambling, weirdo, hippie hipster like himself. He just has a way of eloquently putting things that really resonate with me but I can’t always articulate as well as he does. Another great video soul brother

[@jeffxanders3990]

@@lightawake Only by realizing our true self can we see our own worth... and I'm certain there is far more going on here than most would suspect. I think we're serving the purpose of creation in a very direct and powerful way. I think life is far more than just living and I think if one can be one's true self and (choose) to be happy, then grace (just a word) has to follow. Its why we're here. Further, I think that how it works is far simpler than most would suspect. See Ken Wheeler on magnetism. Also see Robert Grant's math, which comes in the back door of Wheeler's magnetism... Also see Fractal Woman (Lori Gardi) on KZbin when she illustrates Ken Wheeler's aether and the magnelectric nature.

How can one be of service in romantic relationships? Often the nearest to us feels the sharp end of our anger and frustration. How can we change the perspective from one of an, let’s say, occasional dart board, to one of deep understanding and continuous growth? ♥️

[@lightawake]

Great question; I'm not sure either but I wonder if it's about seeing the relationship as an opportunity to work further on yourself and you as a couple walking the same journey (develop unconditional love for self and all, connection with others etc) rather than just find comfort from one another. Same with children - I feel like they are great reflectors showing opportunities for growth.

[@lorettagreen6794]

Me and my partner made a huge shift in our relationship when we fully committed to becoming a multicellular organism. Talking about this concept helped guide us to talk about stuff and begin seeing eachother as a unit and what needed to happen to make that unit strong. we established a mutual understanding that there was no me vs him, that what was good for each of us is what’s best for the multicellular organism. What we do to eachother we do to ourselves. This made us kinder and more compassionate. the commitment also just helped us be less petulant and more mature about grievances, being self aware about how our moods are affecting our ability to communicate or perceptions etc.

[@starstudio5775]

I love this question! I was in a long term relationship of 20+ years and now looking back in reflection I feel I understand better where it fell apart. The traditional saying was behind every great man is an even greater woman. To modernise this saying and give a broader perspective to it, I feel it should be; behind every successful relationship Is the willingness give selfless support to another person in such away that it enriches both of your lives. Love is the word that describes what is essentially an action. We can say that we love someone a million times, unless it is backed up by an action that makes the other person feel loved, then it still remains just a word.
