Liberation Begets Liberation
Download MP3When you’ve untangled your own loops, you start to see the loops in others. Real help begins when projection ends—when you can observe behavior cleanly, without the need to rationalize, explain, or fix. In this episode, we explore how self-liberation becomes the groundwork for liberating others. The clearer you see, the more naturally you can act in ways that restore clarity for those still caught in confusion.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- You can’t free others while you’re still caught in your own patterns
- Clarity, not control, reveals where genuine help is needed
- True compassion arises from perception unclouded by judgment or ego
