Old Souls and Seekers

364: Selfish Love, Judgment, and the Path to True Connection


Listen Later

In this episode of the Old Souls & Seekers podcast, Guy and Ilan guide listeners through the subtle but powerful shift from judgment and self-rejection toward unconditional acceptance and self-love. The conversation begins with a centering practice to bring awareness into the body, then moves into reflections on how judgment distorts our perception and keeps us stuck in predictable, reactive patterns. Guy shares insights on deathbed regrets and challenges the cultural belief that selfishness is inherently wrong, reframing it instead as a natural part of being human—and even a doorway to deeper compassion.

Ilan builds on this by sharing a personal story of being fully accepted in a moment of struggle, highlighting how nervous system safety and unconditional love can transform our experience of ourselves. Together, the brothers explore how healing is not about pushing away parts of who we are, but learning to hold them with openness and kindness. They close by reminding listeners that true transformation doesn’t come from endless doing, but from alignment—where one grounded action can ripple out and shift everything.
