"Love, Sex, Lies and Reality" TalksEp 21 - Understanding the Power of LoveWe often confuse what true love is with romantic love. We forget that love is unique to each one and it takes knowing who you truly are as love, before learning to commune with someone else to share the love with.
We are all born with and in love...in the image and likeness of God, Love Himself. However, we become conditioned by our caregivers into believing and mirroring their version of love without consciously connect to the love within us (as part of our DNA).
We also acquire pain/trauma (emotional wounds) that derail...
2021-01-1515 min"Love, Sex, Lies and Reality" TalksEpisode 19 - How Emotional Wounds Alter Who We AreHave you ever found yourself repeating patterns and cycles, dating the wrong type of partners or doing things you do not want?
Emotional trauma/wounds allow us to live in our shadows while fear and ego dominate and make irrational decisions on our behalf.
We acquire emotional trauma/wounds from childhood and these create limited beliefs, illusions and leave us conditioned while living in/with fear.
We struggle and wonder why we experience so much pain but without embarking on the self-discovery journey, we continue to get lost in our own worlds.

If you come to the table with expectations, you may miss out on what is not being said when you only pay attention...
