Thank you for this video! Paradox that I have been pondering on since I was 16: personal development vs spiritual growth. I see them as quite opposite, as one is about strengthening your sense of self, developing your persona, and the other one is letting go of your attachments, of your ego, the sense of self. I used to think I have to choose one or the other. Now I am considering that there is a possibility to foster both. But so what are the next steps? Learning more about this paradox and developing wisdom? There are so many perspectives on this... and I believe that it's not ever possible to find one single ultimate truth. There are just perspectives. Another paradox: how much I should focus on my own growth and how much focus on helping others. I think I've been doing the first one way more... Anyway, just some thoughts:) Cool channel, subscribed.

I think it's a constant course correction between self and spirit. Yin-yang has been a powerful symbol to dig me out of the Safety of just one. I also have a Jekyll and Hyde pipe that I meditate with. And of course I've the weekly practices of dialogos. So the answer is just like fighting. It's best to find a martial art to acquaint yourself with violence, and then you're best able to navigate the spectrum of violence down to the small relational or non-verbal. My bet is that the void that we've to sit back into to keep course correcting between paradoxes is the same. So find a void/paradox relating practice ❤️ And if there's any you already have familiarity with, I'd love to hear what's helping, because I don't know the big story that will help us see this struggle in each other easier 🙏
