Dave Osmri defines discernment as sensing reality and perceiving what you're programmed to overlook. Three steps: trust your felt needs even when they conflict with what others expect, accept those internal experiences as real and valid, and challenge societal norms by taking unconventional paths.
Discernment is this idea that you need to be able to sense reality, to make good choices and to be able to see things that you're probably programmed not to see. Give me three ways I could be better at discernment.
Big part of it. And again, it might sound cliche, but trusting your own real felt needs and experiences. Because a lot of people grow up with parents that maybe every time you say something you want something, the parents like, no, I think that you need to do this or that and that. So you start to stop trusting yourself. So one is just actually just accepting the real felt needed experiences that you have. Accepting them is real and valid, regardless of what anyone else says on this planet. First of all, trusting yourself that the ones that are real and valid, that are good for your growth, are good for your growth. Because I think we can start to doubt that sometimes. Most of us are programmed in our head to care about societal norms. So it takes a certain character, such as a Dave Osmri, to buck societal norms and say, I want to try, I want to take some risks. I'm going to try some things. They might not all work out, but I'm willing to risk societal scorn.
