The image features a quote by Ram Dass discussing the concepts of self-acceptance and the dualities of human experience. The mood is reflective and introspective, encouraging a deeper understanding of one’s identity.
Text in image: A lot of people try to counteract the ‘I am not good enough’ with ‘I am good enough.’ In other words, they take the opposite and they try to invest it. That still keeps the world at the level of polarities. The art is to go behind the polarities. So the act is to go not to the world of ‘I am good’ to counteract ‘I am bad,’ or ‘I am lovable’ as opposed to ‘I am unlovable.’ But go behind it to ‘I am.’ I am. I am. And I am includes the fact that I do crappy things and I do beautiful things and I am. That includes everything and I am.
– Ram Dass

So these black & white exercise bashing posts are huge RED FLAGS, alerting you that these content creators don’t train clients and don’t possess real expertise.
