(00:11):
True connections is a journey within.
To discover that you are part of everything.
Light can often feel dis,
but you and I are actually connected to
1 another to nature, to animals and many
other ways like your thoughts,
intentions, dreams, even your imagination.

(00:31):
It's my desire to bring spiritual insight to
these true connections so that you can get
to the flow of life, receive the things
that you want without struggle and enjoy a
more constant level of happiness.
I am Weston Jolly, Your host.
Hi there. Thank you for joining me for

(00:52):
true connections. With Western Jolly, and this is
our 70 seventh episode.
Today, I wanna talk about you.
Our topic is know thy self.
The biggest treasure
you've yet
undiscovered.
Now you would think with the topic as
knowing yourself that if anyone in the world

(01:14):
will were to know who you are.
It would be you. Right?
So
isn't it logical that you would know quite
a bit about yourself. So if I ask
your name, of course, you could give me
that.
Your height?
Sure.
What about your weight without looking at a
scale.
Can you del is?

(01:36):
Now, again, our whole intention is to have
an understanding of who we are?
To know ourselves. And we use all kinds
of means to do that.
So when we think, of, for example,
becoming aware of who we are.
Sometimes we'll use
maybe something like a personality test.
A person only task can tell us, you

(01:56):
know, different kinds of things. Right? You can
tell us maybe that we have...
That we're a conscientious person.
Or maybe that you're agreeable.
Maybe neuro
or open.
Or extroverted,
or introverted,
do any of these

(02:17):
top
characteristics
of
having a big personality.
Does resonate within you?
But why would we need to have a
personality test? Because again, you would know who
you are.
And if we shifted that over to an
aptitude test, which, of course is showing us
what strengths and weaknesses that we have?

(02:39):
Wouldn't it be logical again that you would
know that you are
very good athletic and maybe
smart as a whip intellectually
and yet,
maybe had some other pieces that aren't necessarily
strengths as would be considered or measured by
other people.
Now
in a work environment, you know, being tested

(03:01):
for your aptitude is quite common. Right? Where
someone
wants to have an understanding of how you
work.
Basically how you process. And so they offer
aptitude such as
numerical reasoning or verbal reasoning.
Or situational judgment cognitive abilities and spatial awareness
a mechanical reasoning an abstract reasoning and burglary

(03:22):
reasoning and on and on goes to find
out again, what your strengths and weaknesses are.
But my point is, do you know
these things about yourself?
Again, we're just talking about the physical?
If we talk about your mind
how your mind processes,
would you consider yourself to have a normal

(03:42):
mind, and that sounds kinda leading right.
But maybe you have a neuro mind.
Now that means that maybe you think differently.
And sometimes with the term near to virgin
that we give consideration to
other categories such as autism, spectrum disorder, As
or maybe even other
categories such as attention to deficit,

(04:05):
hyper activities for A adhd. And yet, that's
not really what I'm asking. But if that's
something that is appropriate to who you are.
Done something to know.
As a quick side note,
there is someone that
that shared with me
They shared with me actually a synopsis

(04:26):
of who they are.
They literally handed at a little bit of
a brief in terms of how they process.
Now, not many of us
have done that. May not don't know if
you walked into your job recently and handed
him a little document a little manifest in
terms of how you operate? I'm not talking
about how much you weigh.
I'm talking about how you think or how
you along with other people what people you

(04:47):
like, but energy that you bring to the
office and what energies that you know, maybe
aren't necessarily great energies. Are these things that
you're able to see of your own self.
Now, we're still talking about the physical?
So if we talk about, again, your body
type, that should be easy. Right?
Meaning, what areas would you describe yourself in
that category of gray and ect morph or

(05:08):
me morph or endo morph. These are just
very interesting terms for someone that is maybe
thinner as an act morph to someone maybe
that is a little bit thicker in the
endo more category. But again, these body types,
just those 3 categories should be easy for
you to determine where you fit.
But then there's shapes of the bodies. Right?
In terms of you could be triangular

(05:29):
shaped or rectangular shaped or oval shaped, hourglass,
etcetera.
And do you know about about yourself?
Have you given consideration to that? And then
again, there bias questions such as your blood
type?
Again,
Do you know that? Do you know your
blood type? U and a or a b
or
a minus.

(05:49):
And if we continued shifting this discussion a
little bit towards
the spiritual,
and I asked you your birthday and clearly
everyone knows that the birthday, but maybe you
don't know what time you were born.
And that could make a difference.
When you're looking at your astro sign. And
so if we looked at different
astro signs, again, such as ares, torres

(06:11):
Gemini Cancel Leo Be,
etcetera.
We wanna give
you an opportunity through these categorization to have
an understanding of who you are. Right? This
is all about knowing who you are.
But if you have used tool such as
maybe astrology,
to reflect back to you who you are?

(06:32):
There's something else that could get give consideration
to, and that is are you accepting that.
And that's really big. That's something we're gonna
talk about in half a moment. But for
an example, if you are,
I'll use myself. I'm a gemini and.
And when I first read my
birth chart if you will or my astro
sign, and I'm talking about a thousand years
ago.

(06:52):
You know, I I some pieces that kinda
made sense to me into the pieces so
I thought like, was an over general.
Now that was my take. I wasn't trying
to be prejudice against the process. I just
didn't necessarily see
the depth of things that we're being shared.
Some of it made sense to me. In
terms of how I process or how I
view things.

(07:13):
And yet, I was curious. And so I
shared this, my birth chart or my astrology
reading,
not reading. Is necessarily just some very
quick
pieces of,
the whole
Jim and Kingdom if you will, with others
Ram, especially intimately, and I was interested what
they thought, and of course, my children and

(07:34):
even my
partner
described that, oh, yeah.
These things are really you. And I was
like, really, I'm I'm really having a hard
time seeing that about myself. And this is
really
what we wanna spend time with today.
And while we've been talking about things from
body to minds, through aptitude,
how you process. We haven't talked about how
you socialize.

(07:55):
Blood types
astro signs. These are all beautiful characteristics of
again you becoming aware of who you are
and what you've come here to express. Yet.
There's so much more. And really, what I
wanna put our emphasis is on getting to
know or maybe even red
This is why I'm sharing that this is
the biggest treasure yet. You've undiscovered is getting

(08:17):
in touch with your true self or your
higher self.
And what does this mean? Sometimes that language
is thrown about a little bit in terms
of what is your higher self. So let's
discuss that. Your higher self is indeed this
soul that's you and on the highest plane
coming into this embodiment and participating here. So
if we tap into that, your higher self

(08:38):
should we say that's the true essence. That's
a lot more,
filled with knowledge, knowledge you use the term
perfect knowledge.
Of who you are way beyond your Dna,
your family tree, your body type, or blood
type etcetera, etcetera.
Again, all of these pieces physically,
are,
I like to use the term
hansel and gretel white crumbs,

(08:58):
meaning leading you to an understanding of you
having a further idea of who and what
you are. Again, to know yourself to really
become aware of who you are instead of
just trying to give consideration to what you
may or may not be.
So you're getting to know yourself, beyond the
physical is

(09:19):
intentional with our putting folks attention on your
higher sulfur or your real self.
And we can do that through many different
ways.
There are tools. And 1 of the best
tools that I've have in consideration too that
came to me kind of following in my
lap was automatic writing.
I feel so strongly about it that I
put forth a course called secrets free writing,

(09:39):
and I really encourage you if you are
interested in this topic of really knowing by
myself that
automatic writing or secrets of free writing is
a tremendous tool to do that. Now there's
a whole bunch of information on my website,
and please go there because it's worthy of
your attention. And I'm saying that not just
because my own experience because it offers you
a continued

(10:00):
reflection.
Think of like, well, I'm coined the phrase
meditating with a pen where you're literally in
this medi space
choosing to get in touch with your higher
self. You're able to capture that through your
writing. And if that's something that is resonating
with a new please check out seekers free
writing on my website at weston jolly dot
com.

(10:23):
There are indeed other tools for you to
get connected with your higher self.
Some people
may choose to use a tool such as
yoga.
And yoga is a very interesting tool because
it's
cape in my opinion, your body busy in
a very healthy way.
It really
instruct you through focused attention to breathe

(10:44):
which is a source
pun intended of connecting with your higher self.
And as you choose to remain connected to
your higher self,
you have an opportunity to again capture
what I will reflect as the real you.
Now sometimes,
this feels out of sorts
with those things that you have inc

(11:07):
into. There are plenty of people that have
I've come into this realm and they look
at their bodies and perhaps even their gender
and they wonder
that maybe they made a mistake.
Maybe their, sexual affiliation being
presented as male feels wrong when they feel
within themselves that they should be female.
And so they go to great links to
make those changes appropriately so.

(11:29):
Because
this is something that they feel within themselves
that needs to be aligned. And, of course,
as you know that,
it's really giving yourself a tremendous gift.
Think of the energy that it takes
to have somebody go through such a transition.
Where they feel

(11:50):
comfortable enough
to make that kind of change within their
physical and embodiment and to create an alignment
with their spiritual self.
I ion honor each and every person that
gives themselves permission to exist
irr regardless of how it might be considered
from the outside. Now
it's not just about your body or your

(12:11):
sexual orientation.
Sometimes, this means realizing where you come from
in terms of the family tree,
even right down to your, again, blood type
or your Dna.
And having an understanding that these things that,
you know, make you look like mom and
dad
or even the characteristics that were taught to
you by mom and dad and the community,
that they may not be you, and it

(12:33):
takes a brave soul if like I gives
a term to give themselves permission to see
that to know that about themselves.
And to make those changes. And these changes
come about through free choice, which is really
incredible if we give consideration to that, that
there's
endless possibilities
for you to give your yourself permission to
really exist as you are.

(12:54):
And again,
as a conscious being, I want that to
be understood because
there's no species on earth that has to
deal with this.
Other animals if you will don't have to
try
to manage
themselves.
They are, if you will a giraffe a
dog or cat or a lion. These things

(13:15):
aren't necessarily something that needs to be worked
at. And yet sometimes, people when they come
to an understanding of having
awareness of who they are, the question that
they might present, and I hear a lot.
The ask the question will, how
do I be myself.
That comes after of the discovery of, you
know, again, who you are?

(13:37):
In your choice to see yourself as you
are,
again, through
automatic writing, or perhaps yoga breathing.
Meditation as we've talked about per moment,
another tremendous tool of having access to yourself.
That can be through guided meditation as well
where someone would guide you perhaps through a
recording to

(13:57):
have you
be presented with questions?
Who are you?
What have you come to express?
And as you give attention to this reflection,
whether it's coming through someone like myself or
through automatic writing or again, you'll go or
medi state. You have an opportunity to accept
that. Which is something really, really important because

(14:19):
guess what? The mind
or the ego parts of you, that's the
part that wants to deny. Right? That's the
part that wants to shift or push aside
that this isn't true. And yet when you
channel,
or you participate in this consist instantly you'll
find that some really beautiful attributes continue to
show themselves.
And I wanna show you an example. I

(14:40):
was facilitating a woman, and she was
being told via a chilling that she was
beautiful. Now it wasn't just a
adjective that was used to describe her physical
beauty. It was describing some something much cheaper
than that. And she had resistance to that.
And she asked, me as the person facilitating,

(15:02):
could there be,
another word that was used
that laughed, and I said, no. That's actually
the word that is being chosen that I'm
channel the word beautiful
because that somehow is creating a irritation within
you.
And she said it does. It I I
feel irritated with that word. And I said
I understand.
And if you force that upon me that
that word can be altered or changed, but

(15:24):
ultimately from a spiritual perspective. Again, from a
channel pure channel perspective, that is indeed the
descriptive term.
And then she kinda bent a little bit
and said, I understand.
And she was resisting what will call her
spiritual or inner lu essence.
Now she was indeed a beautiful of a
woman.

(15:44):
But she wasn't necessarily
seen as a beautiful 1 from the inside.
A lot of times, people saw that external
beauty within her.
And that was fine, but she was trying
or wanting
or hoping to give herself permission to have
access to something greater. But yet, she was
denying that. And I'm sharing that of her

(16:04):
because that's something for each of us to
give consideration to because sometimes when we get
to know who we really are,
we'll reject it.
We can do that when we jump on
a scale, we can reject the idea that
we weigh that much or we weigh that
little.
But we don't wanna do that when we
really tap into knowing who we are. And
if we're using

(16:24):
spirit,
tapping into source in whatever infinite ways that
you want to have access to, then you're
gonna find that they're very consistent in showing
you some really beautiful things. And so if
they're sharing with you that you're very loving,
please don't roll your eyes and goes oh
yeah. Right? Whatever.
And yet, that's, again, part of the resistance
back into the woman who was denying her
own intrinsic beauty. We don't wanna do that.

(16:47):
In fact, that's the part, most of all
that we want to give attention to, focused
attention.
And as we continue to accept that you're
going to bounce into some really cool things.
That could be described as uncomfortable as I
was mentioning. But I'm encouraging you with everything
I have that they aren't
Should we say denied or pushed away? And
some of these concepts are as easy as

(17:08):
having an understanding
of some basic attributes of what you've come
here to do. Now, again, in this realm,
this physical realm of coming to Earth as
an inca b, not everyone's choosing to do
something that would be transformative
from
a low level to a higher level. There's
plenty of people who are coming to this
realm just participate

(17:28):
kinda like
an actor and acting at the part of
being somebody who's mean
or
behavioral
mel justice,
wanting to take advantage of people or maybe
wanting to cheat or steal or even worse.
And those things are
fine. That's just a part of this realm.
But if there's some part of you that

(17:49):
has been searching or needing or wanting to
discover again, who you are, again beyond the
physical. So then this is that place to
really jump into
who you are
and seeing that and feeling that and having
recognition. So let me share some of those
things with you because it's very important.
Would you consider yourself fl?

(18:10):
Don't just hear the word, Feel it.
What about compassionate?
Are you sensitive?
How do things affect you? Whether that's personal
to you that's your own body or even
outside of your own body. Somebody could sneeze
in a plane and it could affect you?

(18:32):
And again, there's no right or wrong answer
here. Right?
But as you choose to really get in
touch with who you are,
you're higher self. You'll find that there's really
beautiful pieces that again continue to be seeing
again again. So if you find that there's
undue compassionate you have for people
or animals
or even the environment.

(18:54):
There's reasons for that.
And you aligning with that. Meaning to know
that about yourself doesn't make make you necessarily
an odd like a Salmon
swimming upstream. Right? That species is designed to
do that for very specific reasons of spawning.
But if we understand what we are in
terms of who we really are in this

(19:15):
soul level in this higher cell level as
we participate in the physical level, it becomes
easier.
Now this becomes even fun when we tap
into how we want to express ourselves. Now
when that becomes aligned, meaning align yourselves in
terms of who we are,
and we align that with something that we've
compared to really want to express

(19:36):
such as a desire.
Oh, my gosh. It becomes easy. And you'll
find that if you study and put attention
to this that those people who are expressing
a really, really good at it, whether that
being an actor or a singer or
maybe even
spiritual inclined that there's an alignment to that.
Meaning mean, that's really who they are, and
then they're matching that with this choice to

(19:56):
express.
In essence becomes easy. And that's something not
as a spiritual aptitude test that you wanted
to give yourself, but you want to remember
As you incorporate that into your physical self,
it creates an ease,
a comfort of beauty.
And ultimately,
there's no resistance. And even someone recognizing that
as a tremendous aptitude that you have or

(20:18):
this gift of you being very loving or
maybe extraordinarily compassionate with animals such as a
veterinarian.
Those attributes are of course spiritual
applied from the physical perspective and that's match,
we can feel that. So if you have
talked to a veterinarian who's participating in that
realm, you'll feel un connected to them versus
someone who's just doing time and wanting to

(20:39):
help the pad your pet, and, of course,
exchange for money, which is fine
to service.
But most of us who are very connected
to animals will want someone that wants to
take care of animals the same in the
way that we do, which is with love.
Right?
We're not just, you know,
feeding
or
taking care of a pet for the pets

(20:59):
sake. We're really... We're choosing to participate in
a way that's very aligned
with our wanting to share love even to
the animal kingdom,
our dog, our cat, hamster,
rat, or even in
lizard of such.
It's really exciting to understand again who you
are and what you've come to express.

(21:21):
And these expressions,
physically.
And spiritually if you choose can be aligned.
So let's go into that this just a
little bit.
If you find yourself very compassionate, very loving,
and yet you are participating in something like,
tele marketing.
Where you're taking advantage of people
consciously through that effort. You may find that

(21:42):
to be something of a difficulty, and it
could even cause
issues physically within your body, which is your
body saying, hey,
this doesn't match. We have an imbalance. The
spiritual cell is saying this is outside of
what we've really wanted to do and you
have to the body saying, hey, we need
to be paid
because we need to live, we need to
have food, etcetera, etcetera,
and we're doing what we have to do,
and, yet, something is a conflict.

(22:03):
And that can come many different forms. And
yet, when we choose to see that we
can create alignment
outside of any
limitation, which, of course, comes from the mind
of the ego. Again, I use the term
shell. And I use the term shell? I
once you think of egg shell.
It's this external piece
that we think that we are... And that

(22:23):
comes from the mind.
Interestingly enough. We can't point to that within
the
the
the mind body where the ego exists and
where it doesn't exist.
And yet each of us have that, this
is why we use the name,
your name. But when we go beyond that,
you, we go beyond this thing that we
call a name, which is, you know, easy

(22:44):
to reflect. We tie or connected to this
spiritual essence. And the spiritual is much more
powerful than if you will, even my name
or your name. And when we tap into
that,
it creates an attraction to us. And, of
course, that attractions beyond this physical lifetime. So
you won't forget me to perceive me

(23:05):
in the
afterlife if you will, because of my spiritual
signature. Now, that's a vibration. That's something that
is,
tied to my name in this incarnation in
the same way that in previous
I would have, different names, different bodies. A
different genders perhaps,
certainly different lineages in terms of the family.
And yet, how can I do that? How

(23:27):
can I participate? And
lineage 1 and be this character of this
person and then come here again,
in a second rein, and a third incarnation,
I mean, if this is all part of
us
wanting to get to know who we are
on a very
connected level. Now to do that, to really

(23:47):
connect. And we've been using talking about these
different tools. Again, signature free writing automatic writing
and yoga breathing meditation. All of these tools
are really
offering you an opportunity to go within.
And when we tap into that, connected with
end state, again, we'll find that there's consistency
and showing us who we are. Now, sometimes,

(24:07):
that can be very drone as some people
might think of it. Meaning of your shoulders
is very loving
and that's some conflict to what your mom
and dad told you that you weren't or
aren't or that maybe in my case that
you're too loving.
Imagine that.
That someone's telling you that you're too loving,
then that create a conflict if someone says,
Spirit says that you channel source that says
that you are loving when indeed, That's not

(24:29):
a conflict at all. It's just to conflict
your mind or that condition that you grow
up with. And this is something that we
want to observe,
but not be, should we say overly connected
to. We wanna go past that.
So giving yourself permission to tap into your
higher self, your true self is to really
know who you are. It's the biggest treasure
yet un undiscovered.
And as you spend time in this space,

(24:49):
which is just basically focused attention, and you
can do that just by holding an attention
right now.
I choose.
To know who I am.
And when you choose that, you'll hear words
like creator,
love
or the duality
of 1 versus another, the competitive mind again,

(25:11):
coming from the shell or the ego,
those things will begin to diminish. In fact,
you'll find yourself moving into...
We could use a the term, a divine
state. We could also use the terms a
connected state, a unifying state, and even a
state of 1 ness, and this is something
that's very consistent.

(25:31):
Irr regardless of your background.
Irr regardless of where in the world that
you come from.
Irr regardless of a philosophy,
that you've been exposed to from a condition
perspective.
This 1 is is what brings us together.
And this is why this is so important
for you to give yourself permission to really
see who you are to get in touch

(25:53):
with your higher self, and you can just
ask a question.
What is my off? What does it have
to say?
In this moment, give consideration to what your
higher self wants to tell you or better
are seated like hansel and Gretel with the
mini crumbs
all this
bread trail
leading you to, have furthering... Further personal development

(26:16):
of who you are,
be attentive to these things. Your personality, your
weight,
your body type,
these pieces, the way you think the way
you process, even
the way your mind processes
is all beautiful clues and some of it
opposite, meaning opposite clues. Like like a puzzle.
Maybe this part of the puzzle doesn't work.
And when that's happening, Instead of fighting that,

(26:38):
we wanna observe the fact that I am
not thinking the way everyone else is thinking
even though my... Whole family thinks that way.
And I say my whole family in terms
of my birth family. And so I wanna
get myself permission to
observe that I'm near diversion compared to my
family.
And that's okay. That means I'm just thinking
differently than my family does, and that's maybe
a good thing. And if we see that,

(26:59):
and no longer fight with that, then we
are able to accept that. And again, that's
a very key term. So you being in
comfortable to accept who you are through this
reflection of your higher solve. That's what this
is all about.
So put focused attention on you becoming aware

(27:20):
of what you're higher self wants to reflect
to you. Be attempted to that, write it
down.
Do that now. If you're listening to this
in a car fine, when you get home,
take a moment, breathe.
Become connected, ask, what is it that my
higher self wants to show me this particular
moment.
That's the question I'm asked, often,

(27:41):
especially by my family members.
Because there's an interest for that reflection to
be shown to them again, and again, and
when you're asking that, when you're putting focused
attention to that, you'll find that there is
a pattern.
Should we call it a... All the puzzle
pieces start to come together? This is why
I say, but it's easy then suddenly that
There's an ease of understanding of what you've

(28:01):
come to express.
And that when that coincides with the physical
pieces and your choice to...
Physically express the claim becomes really wonderful and
quite easy and fine. So I hope this
has been tremendously beneficial to you to give
yourself permission to really know who you are.
And this is the biggest treasure yet undiscovered.
And so giving your attention to it is
without merit in terms of what it will

(28:22):
do for you. Thank you for joining me.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
