Why Sensitive Souls Can't Stand Hints

So, somebody asked me, why do sensitive souls hate hints? Now, what are sensitive souls? That's a term that I've been using. You may use other terms. Some of the terms that some people use are diagnostic terms, which I avoid using. The term that I use, which is a more spiritual term because I'm a rabbi and so I relate to that more and I also think it's actually more accurate is sensitive souls which means for me souls that came into this world into this embodiment and never really felt settled and you know actually makes perfect sense. soul is boundless light and now all of a sudden it's embodied which means it's trapped in this very uh finite container and not only is it confined but like its senses it are completely bombarded with all the physical stimuli and so it's uncomfortable and it's sort of overwhelmed and these are the people who go through life sort of like in this sense of existential discomfort okay and that's what we call the sensitive souls Now, um, someone was asking me, "Why does it seem like a lot of these people who resonate with this personality profile don't do well with hints?" Like they they say, "Say say it to me straight. Just say it to me straight." And conversely, they say things to people straight and then they get accused often of being rude or um lacking subtlety. Okay. But why do they like to say things really on the nose and they like things to be said to them really really on the nose? Um it's all about truth. Truth is a very very important concept for sensitive souls. This world, the world of embodiment, the physical plane is a world of falsehood. And what do I mean? It's a world world of falsehood. A world where people tell lies. Yeah, that too. But primarily the world itself is a lie. [gasps] Um it's a lie that anything could exist separate from God. The embodiment plane, the physical world looks autonomous. It looks like it's there, a creation without a creator, which is a lie. And that's why it was engineered that way by its maker um to allow for free choice so that we're not overwhelmed by God's presence. Also, uh if God were completely revealed, then uh like God told Moses when he said, "Can I see your face?" face. He said, "No man can see my face and live." We would be overwhelmed out of existence. If we were exposed to unfiltered godliness, we would cease to exist. We just become absorbed or subsumed in the totality of his absolute oneness and we would cease to have a subjective experience. So it would be impossible to experience that. You would just become one with it. But at any rate, so this world, interestingly, by the way, the the word in Hebrew for world is the same etmological root, the three Hebrew letters in, lam and mem for haleem. Means world. Halem means concealment. The word for world is concealment. Why? Because the world or each world there are different planes of existence functions to mask the creator so that we see creation and not creator. That is the function of a world and especially the physical world which is the greatest level of concealment. So that's a real world of falsehood which yes it also means people can lie because you can't see the truth. So people can tell you whatever they want to tell you, but the world itself lends itself to a lie. The the lie that it exists on its own. Okay. Now, sensitive souls come to the physical world and are disturbed by I mean they're disturbed by a lot of things that have that are inherent to physicality, but they're they're also disturbed by this falseeness. [sighs] They want truth. [gasps] This is similar to, and we can make a separate video about this, why these sensitive souls like um well, sometimes they're accused of being perfectionists. They're idealists. Why? Because they are more comfortable in the world of truth, which is a world of ideals or archetypes. So, they see things as they should be or could be. And then they come to the physical realm where things never really live up to the ideal physical world. Everything's sort of like, you know, the world's an imperfect place. The things are, you know, broken and well, for for a sensitive soul, that's really unnerving. So, you know, perfectionism, idealism, th those all go along with the personality profile. But let's talk about the the thing about hints. Okay, if you're not a sensitive soul, this is going to sound absolutely wacko. And I acknowledge that. And that's why I wouldn't just walk up to someone on the street and say this. Even though I like saying things bluntly, but I wouldn't say this bluntly cuz people would think it's weird. There's no point in being weird uh just to be weird. Hints are lies. It's a lie by omission. Everyone knows what a lie by omission is. Everyone knows that a lie by omission can be as serious as an an a a a deliberate uh statement of mistruth. Well, to a sensitive soul, a hint is a subtle form of lie but by omission. Cuz if you mean it, just say it. And if you're dancing around it, you're hovering over it, near it, and you're not saying it. Why not? What are you trying to do? Well, I'm trying to be, you know, polite. Okay. Yeah, that's the word you're using. Polite is the polite word you're using for you're saying polite in order to be polite. But what does polite mean? Polite means you're not telling me the real version of it. What? You're afraid I'll be mad? You're afraid I'll say no. [gasps] Tell me what it is, we'll deal with it. So for the sensitive soul, communication is all about tell me the fullest form of this truth. Don't worry about me. Come out and just say it to me the way you see it. Okay? I'll react how I'm gonna react. But don't cover it in so many layers of nicity that I don't even know what I'm looking at. It's like you put enough frosting on a on a on a wrench and I could think it's a I could think it's a a donut. But [laughter] that's called that's called uh fooling people. That's called uh you know purposely misleading them. Well, I just didn't want you to not want the wrench. No. So, you wash it off. Hand me the wrench. If I want a wrench, I'll take a wrench. If I want a donut, I'll take a donut. But don't put frosting on a wrench so that I think it's a donut. I just came up with that metaphor off the top of my head. It's probably ridiculous. It is ridiculous. But at any rate, it conveys a feeling. And if you're a sensitive soul and you would like words or even just you don't want to use these words cuz you don't want more people to think you're weird but you just want to hear my words so that you feel a little bit less alone. You're like yeah I I uh I've had that experience. So then I'm I'm giving words to it. And if you're not a sensitive soul but you'd like to understand such people maybe you're married to such a person maybe you have a child to such a person. So yeah, I'm letting you know that euphemism and saying things obliquely or like saying maybe probably um I think uh when you those extra filler words are very unnerving if you say like you know I think I'm going to go. You think you're going to go or you gonna go? If you're going to go just tell me you're going to go or you know that probably is not a good idea. Is it not a good idea or it's probably not a good idea? Because the word probably has a real meaning. It means like a statistic probability like so yeah let's just understand this and you can do whatever you want. You don't have to speak bluntly. If if that harsh is your mellow and you don't want to speak bluntly don't speak bluntly. But um the people who are sensitive souls tend to prefer it. And you're going to say but they're sensitive souls. They they I I'm trying to be careful around them. Okay, great. There's things you can be careful about. Um, one of the things to be careful about is not to be confusing, not to be not to send mixed messages. Um, not to use language that doesn't have real meaning cuz that's actually hurtful. Not speaking clearly. Speaking clearly is not hurtful. Yeah. Okay. So, I hope you get my point. Speak clearly.
