"Before you heal someone, ask them if they are willing to give up the things that make them sick." - Hippocrates - Thank you, Jordan, for the great videos and for helping people along their path!
Speaking of Jesus, Orthodox Easter is just around the corner, and I could not have received a better gift 🤗 Thank you for choosing to bring clarity to my heavy question, especially since I know it is not just mine. I really felt metaphorical boxes being ticked while listening to what you have to say. Thank you for your work, Jordan! ❤️🙏
Happy holidays, and thank you for inviting this video with your question - hope this response was applicable, it’s a hard process but you’ve got this 🌲
I think the question “why” is really a key. This question helped me see the pattern and its origins in my family history, and uncovering that I have so many unmet underlying needs myself and lack in self care. Once that is uncovered I was able to step back focus on myself and let the other party has his/her freedom of choice and pace. It is not fair many times to pace other to my own pace.
12:00 candle of hope and fire metaphors🕯👌. 'Hope' (Yakhal) in the church was always about looking back at your life and seeing all the ways God came through. It involves choosing to wait as an act of trust in God's character despite present circumstances. The level of trust builds when you take the time to stop and appreciate all the fulfilled promises of the past. I think its true for any relationship that faithfulness is something you have to notice and nurture. At some point, you have to keep tabs on all the fulfilled/unfulfilled promises and expectations. I used to keep a journal of all my answered prayers.. I may need to take up that practice again. It's always amazing to see the number of fulfilled promises. Thanks for this one 🤍
I have never once heard of someone keeping a journal of fulfilled prayers - that’s unique and special, thank you for sharing. I’m sure you just inspired a lurker in the comments section, Amy 🕯️
@@jordanthornton I wanted to share: "Giving Learning to be a healthy giver can be a challenge. Many of us got caught up in compulsive giving-charitable acts motivated by uncharitable feelings of guilt, shame, obligation, pity, and moral superiority. We now understand that caretaking and compulsive giving don’t work. They backfire. Caretaking keeps us feeling victimized. Many of us gave too much, thinking we were doing things right; then we became confused because our life and relationships weren’t working. Many of us gave so much for so long, thinking we were doing God’s will; then in recovery, we refused to give, care, or love for a time. That’s okay. Perhaps we needed a rest. But healthy giving is part of healthy living. The goal in recovery is balance-caring that is motivated by a true desire to give, with an underlying attitude of respect for ourselves and others. The goal in recovery is to choose what we want to give, to whom, when, and how much. The goal in recovery is to give, and not feel victimized by our giving. Are we giving because we want to, because it’s our responsibility? Or are we giving because we feel obligated, guilty, ashamed, or superior? Are we giving because we feel afraid to say no? Are the ways we try to assist people helpful, or do they prevent others from facing their true responsibilities? Are we giving so that people will like us or feel obligated to us? Are we giving to prove we’re worthy? Or are we giving because we want to give and it feels right? Recovery includes a cycle of giving and receiving. It keeps healthy energy flowing among us, our Higher Power, and others. It takes time to learn how to give in healthy ways. It takes time to learn to receive. Be patient. Balance will come. God, please guide my giving and my motives today." Quoted from the app The Language of Letting Go.
It is the same driver that made the freed man from plato’s cave allegory to turn back to his fellows and share what he has seen outside. It is the need to connect with another. But this is yet another test to be overcome. Detaching from the known and throw yourself in the unknown. This way one can make new connections. Thank you, Jordan! For the topic, for the way you convey your message and for the personal experience behind it.
Thoughtfully said, thank you. Watch out for the divine madness & creativity episode next weeks, it’s my answer to your question from a few months back! It’s another outdoor film 🌲
Thank you as always for being genuine, authentic & the guidance I need during this tough ass road of healing holistically - You have inspired me, added to my journey and helped me to see things I knew where there but couldn't see.
Just wanna appreciate the theatrics of your matches prop because that was impeccably timed and such a powerful metaphor. You always use vivid and evocative metaphors but that really took the biscuit. Your unedited delivery is also excellent and gives powerful presence. It's all a breath of fresh air in overedited CZcams realm. And thank you for this important episode I am lucky to have never had this with a family member even if that enmeshing codependency has magnetised other painful connections.
The best part is that I already had the imagery and vocabulary ready… but the matches were lying around and I decided to incorporate them last minute… can’t stop my theatrical flair 😉 Thank you for these words, always doing what I can to keep these videos engaging without losing the magic of single-take and minimal editing. It’s more real and raw that way.
'Detachment in love'. Thank you for your work. 7 months out of a relationship where we were falling into a parent child dynamic (my childhood wounding). I am learning to get to know myself and hope for something healthier and equal in future. But for now it is me on my own. I hear you on the grief. The fixer or savior, is a role I payed well as a child to survive... Hard to `derole` as an adult... One day at a time!
Thank you Jordan, a lot of Metta to you. Changing the patterns! I have a fellow travellor that helps me see and a growing intuition that usually let's me know/feel. Here is to desiring better and starting to believe I deserve better, been working and am working hard on myself. Love to little me.
My Mom has suffered from MH difficulties all her adult life, she’s 79 I’m 52 and it’s only in the last few months I’ve come to the conclusion ‘you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped’… as always, thanks Jordan x
@@jordanthornton - cheers Jordan the last 12 months has been a real sh@t storm from multiple directions… your videos have helped me integrate difficult experiences remain objective and weather the storm… I owe you one… would like to do some one to one with you in the future, haven’t quite got the space to break myself open at the moment… but definitely one for the future… anyway thank you for all your work, sometimes I feel your doing the leg work for me!!! Cheers x
The most confusing type of this phenomenon is when somebody comes to me for help and then projects the responsibility for their issues onto me. They know I'm a tough love type of person but they're not ready to work on their issues, so they start getting defensive. Like, do you want my help or not? 😂
Exactly! In the Bible he asks to the man near the pool "Do you WANT to be healed?". And he couldn't perform miracles in his village because people didn't believe in him.
Indeed, do not try and save anyone who doesn't want the help, true point. However, we are all Christ, the God within, to remember this is one's path to true liberation and the end of suffering.
I understand your sentiment when looking from the highest perspective, although certainly many stages of distinction between where standard consciousness resides and the idea of Christ consciousness within - wouldn’t want to collapse those degrees of distinction, an incredibly rare path 🌲
Even Jesus didn't try and convert, he offered council in story form of gospels for those who were interested in listening to take away what they were ready to receive, for some an amusing story, for others a message of depth 😇 be more like JC... do not convert, teach to audiences that want to hear what you want to share 😻 Jesus was teaching people how to be teachers
