Jim James openly shares his struggles with depression and alcoholism, highlighting the role of self-love in overcoming these challenges. He emphasizes the necessity of seeking help, mentioning his journey through therapy with over 50 therapists. His recent experiences with EMDR and psychedelic therapies led him to discover the importance of treating oneself with love and kindness. He conveys a passionate realization about caring for himself, asserting that doing so enables him to serve others and be more compassionate in the world.
I started to realize I've been spending most of my life hating being on this horse named Jim. I wanna get the fuck off of it. I want to drink it off. I want to drug it off... I want to get off this thing 'cause I don't like it.
What if you try to treat Jim with love and kindness and treat Jim with respect? Try to go the other way, and let's try and take care of Jim.
I'm the caretaker for this lifetime, however long it may be, of this being named Jim, and if I can wake up enough, I can realize that like it's my sacred duty to try and love this person.
If I can do that, then I can be of greater service to the world and I can be more kind to other people and I can serve other people and I can serve the world better.
