Jeff thx for sharing your journey. I can think of no better way to confront what you are going through then through your writing. I will tune into the Burning Man Podcast. And thanks for the movie and show recommendations.
Good one Jeff ji! It's a lovely reminder that we need to pay attention to our inner signals, to what moves us, what heals our souls (and bodies) - and where we look for that healing. Friends, guides, movies, stories. Thanks for this.
Dear Jeff, like the others below I was deeply moved by this piece. Sounds like you have and continue to seek amazing teachers and Guides in this challenging and awakening journey. Sending Love gwendolyn
I don't know how you do it, but all the words fit together, and it reads the way music sounds. I TRY to do that, but it still reads like me trying to sound the way music sounds but not getting there. In any case, I wish you the best and wonder if somehow all of us could psychically help you somehow.
Love this piece, Jeff. It shines with the honesty of your exquisite inner light. Beauty and vulnerability. Grief and depth. Holding space for you through it all. 🤍🕯️🕊️
I’m also wondering if there’s a way to examine and reframe what you regard as self-pity. One curiosity that arises for me is the difference between self-pity and self-compassion. Self-pity asks “why me?” Self-compassion says, “I’m so sorry that you (I) are going through this sad and scary and painful thing. I love you (myself) and I’m here for you (myself) as you venture to wade through grief’s dark waters.” A different approach might be to accept self-pity as an aspect of your shadow self. To acknowledge that it exists in some form inside of you just as it exists in some form inside of all of us. To stop fighting and denying and rejecting this aspect, to face it without judgment and to let it know that it deserves space to breathe and be loved too.

This is Beautiful. And moving... Thank you.
I'm glad you have so many supportive people around you.
I also love how you speak of movies as an invoking.
