(Golden Age of Gaia)

All too often, being loved bombed with superficial approval is equally as unfulfilling as being on the receiving end of criticism.
In either case, it feels as if the experience is more about the other person than having anything to do with you.
This can leave you feeling lonely and invisible since the true gift yearning to be received is a recognition of understanding.
In truth, you may seek to know how clearly others understand you in an attempt to have a better understanding of yourself.
Once you truly understand who you are, why you are here, and exactly all that you came to do within the framework of your individual form, you are able to connect and communicate with others — whether you are seen, heard, valued, overlooked, ignored, or denied.
And so when someone who doesn’t fully understand themselves seeks to find a greater understanding of self in the misunderstandings being worked out in others, only greater confusion, sadness, and disappointment may be found.
This is why you inevitably learn to be the source of your deepest understandings of self.
It occurs by turning attention inward toward the sacred practice of loving self-care.
For if you don’t fully understand yourself on the deepest possible level, then perhaps you are the very mystery and adventure you came here to explore.
