What I Learned From A Year of Letting Go
For a year I consistently practiced Dr. David Hawkins' letting go technique, surrendering resistance to any and all emotions that arose. Here's what I learned.

    Humor is such a huge icebreaker when dealing with regular folks (it's tempting to think of regular people as dumb, but it's important to acknowledge to yourself that they're regular, not better or worse.) If you can connect with others on humor, they'll sense on their own that there's something different about you. It doesn't have to be a contentious experience, because you'll never have to prove anything or explain anything. Be friendly, ask questions, demonstrate interest.

    Very interesting. I had the same experience with the psychological death/Egodeath. But for me it was like that: i was starting the Letting Go Technique and was feeling out a deep fear. I was doing that for 2 weeks and then it happend. I was laying on a bench in a park and feeling this deep fear in my solar plexus. Then it felt like i got to the source of it. And my mind paniced like crazy: „IF YOU DO THAT YOU GONNA DIE“ this was what i heard in a very loud and concerned way. My first thought was. When my mind says that i especially have to do it 😂. The next moment i went in that fear and then i can’t remember what happened. I woke up 5 / 10 / 15 minutes after and i couldn’t say how much time went by but u guess it was about 15 minutes. I stood up and everything has changed. I was feeling like i was freshly born. The feeling was amazing. I was in a pretty bad spot before leading to my start of letting go. The feeling was so incredibly freeing and i was so euphoric. 2 days of pure bliss went by feeling nonstop like my soul was completely free. I talked to people like i never had anxiety. And then 2 days later the negative thoughts came back and i felt the negative emotions fillling up my body again. And one moment to the next i was getting to the same point i was before. Except i have no feeling of angst anymore. I mean i still fear stuff and experience fear but that underlaying emption of fear of death went away. This was a crazy experience and it showed me, that letting go is 100% the way for me. It showed me a state u could reach full of bliss and joyment without any drugs. I felt what i could feel without all the gabbage im packed. Now im 1 year into letting go several hours a day. I dedicated my whole life it it. Never felt any betttet then now. Still letting go alot of stuff. Now more od heavy insecurity feelings. Went through a fucking ton of grief cried every day for 3 months. Hardest time of my life. And in my deepest core was apathy. In this hole i decided for myself, that i want to live and from there it went only up again

    I am grateful to have found your video review. I'm going this spiritual journey alone, so hearing your perspective after a year of practice offers insights I feel I need. I began this book several years ago but only got 3/4 read. Recently I found myself st a place of feeling dissatisfied with my life, not typical depression, just apathy. My internal argument against suicide was that it would hurt my grandson and my cat. I figure everyone else would get by and hardly miss me. After the "dark night of my soul" I realized that I no longer feel like myself, no longer do anything other than cook, clean, sleep (or attemp to) then repeat. So this brought me back to this book and a return to spiritual study. After Letting Go, I grabbed Michael A Singer's Living Untethered and some YT videos of Eckhart Tolle. Singer's book went straight to my heart and filled in the voids in my understanding after Letting Go. One of Tolle's talks pointed out (LOL pointed to!) the fact that if we notice that we are unaware...that insight is awareness! So... I'm grateful for your feedback after a year and now look forward to reflecting on my experiences in 11 months. No doubt I will be thinking of you (and the inspiration you have provided) along the way. Thank you.

    Thanks for putting your perspective out there it's hard to find people talking about this. I'm going through diagnosis for autism right now but am also profoundly gifted and it's hard to tell for sure because of the overlap in how they both present and cover eachother up. Not only was I masking intelligence but also body language, sensory pain, and not understanding certain social cues. Apparently all of those issues can still happen without autism just from being highly gifted anough because of how it affects your nervous system and social development. But at the same time around 30% of people in mensa have enough autistic traits to be diagnosed. I am finding through the unmasking process that I am certainly autistic too and have a different sort of body language than a neurotypical person. I relate to other autistic people a lot and also the profoundly gifted and it's difficult unmasking because the physical differences about me make people expect me to be mentally challenged but then I speak and they find out I am a genius and a lot of people are just so confused. I'm curious to hear if another gifted people know about autism and have wondered and or been diagnosed for it. Trying to see what the differences between high iq with and without autism but it's hard to find examples. My iq tested 142 when I was young but I feel it may likely be in the 150-155 range after factoring in the motor and language factors from my disability and from comparing the types of insight I get to others who's iq I can check. It's very curious to explore what our own intelligence is doing and how it works. I realized that in school I was recognized for advanced math skills but realized later that wasn't my strong side, I am more of a creative thinker and have a lot of difficulty with computations that can't be done intuitively. The things that, to me, really highlight and showcase my intelleligence no one was ever able to guide me on or teach me about. It would be wonderful for people to understand more about intelligence without having to make it about people being superior. It pisses me off when people assume I'm arrogant when I'm just honest about who I am. I love being intelligent and love being autistic but it doesn't mean everybody else shouldn't love themselves for who they are too. It's great everyone is different and if we Learned to understand ourselves and echhother instead of trying to one up eachother then we could actually figure out how to include everyone and make a great world. Sorry my comment is long, it's part of my limitation with communication that it just takes a while to feel like enough aspects of the ideas been expressed because I always think in layers and explain through stories and laying things out to draw conclusions from as it seems more descriptive to describe the factors abd show where they point than to just say some bold statement and wonder if everyone even gets the line of reasoning behind it.

    I was called a gifted child in 3rd grade. They made me start doing algebra. I enrolled in college at age 16. My parents had all these high expectations of me because of my 165 IQ. When I was 18 I joined the US army. My mother was scared. I made it in the army but was called 'a different breed' by my platoon leader. After the US army I went to college again. I went to the University of California Santa Barbara and majored in Classics. Roman culture and history was really interesting to me. Some people called me stupid but it was what I wanted to do. I've always been authentic and called stupid for it. I'd rather be homeless and live life the way I wanted to than be rich and live life according to what others think I should do.

    I realized pretty quickly as a kid how contradicting everything is in society. So i just found a way for every setting how to act and speak around those people. I stayed under the radar 99 % of my life and "manipulated" everyone around me to "fit" in or to get what i want. People are like an open book and most of them dont realize what goes around them. They tried to tell me, that i was the problem and i should watch my language to not offend anyone. Being smart in a world full of stupidity comes with positives and negatives. The most important lesson was to work on myself, play the game, use the system to get what i want and pretend to connect with the surface level thinking. And if you meet the odd one who thinks like you, you get an awesome friendship where you can use your sarcasm and "different" humor to connect in those settings and say things that the majority dont even grasp. There is no point to focus on the masses, when you have a gift to be successful in a world full of average people. Ignorance is bliss and everyone deserves happiness. No need to change everyones minds.

    I view the letting-go process like the feeling the issue the emotion, whatever it is you're trying to suppress or repress or be attached to. It is like a beach ball you're trying to submerge underwater and we know how much effort that takes. But if we let go of it, it's surfaces to the top and then floats down the river of our consciousness, never to be thought of again. That is the simple form for me, However, There are other representations that bring up more nuances to the narrative. Like the example of the wounded inner child or the false self.

  • @stevemiller8895
    @stevemiller8895 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is anyone here familiar with the story of Buddha and Mara? Did you know that Mara means bitterness in Hebrew and Buddha is acknowledging Mara ( who represents the tempter or the one who is contrary to the buddha.he is the evil one, hiding in the bushes, Mara wants to exchange roles with buddha, in essence he wants buddha to be the wicked one and he become the enlightened one. As you may know, Mara represents those things antonymous or antagonistic in nature to enlightenment primarily death ( to) desire and ( by) rebirth. However, these attributes are actually descriptive of the process to enlightenment. biblically it is death burial and resurrection Exampled by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Moreover, Mara also represents our wounded inner child, wounds are the issues we care not for and usually if not instructed we run away from. As in the story Buddha Acknowledges Mara, by saying , " I See You", as Mara was hiding in the bushes, just like our unacknowledged and unaccepted issues represented as our wounded inner child, who we care not to acknowledge and accept bc of what they represent, but not acknowledging and accepting we fall into resistance and the war continues. But Buddha seeing Mara and then offers him hospitality and invites him to come into his abode , treats him with love and kindness as an honored guest by firstly hugging him giving him encouraging words and offering him tea and a pillow to sit on. It is the same attitude we should all have, When our wounded inner child appears into our current consciousness. The wounds exists as a result of the acquisition of issues, not yet forgiven, acknowledged or accepted or let go of so that they transform from the negative aspect of issue into the positive aspect of withdrawal from our consciousness. all of our issues not let go of become our wounded inner child, for we are taught by this example that we should acknowledge and accept in hospitality and in loving kindness when we see our wounded inner child hiding in the bushes awaiting to be acknowledged and accepted waiting to be treated with value and honor and to be given hospitality, thus allowing our guest to stay as long as he likes and to be in whatever state he is in, instead of seeking war in resistance of him. for ex. When any issue like rejection is acknowledged , accepted in loving kindness and you give it a place to be, it transforms into its antonymous nature like a caterpillar into a butterfly.Within the tomb of its chrysalis. Thereby in these examples the place where life and death are converted is at the cross ( where life is converted into death) and in the tomb ( where death is converted into new life) death , burial and resurrection. Loneliness transforms into companionship or into solitude but when you are with your inner child you are really never alone. loneliness exists as a result of not acknowledging and accepting your inner child, if you did you would not even feel alone, you would always have company and companionship bc of what value you place upon yourself, in essence when you love your wounded inner child you are loving yourself.So you are never really alone just as long as you are in communication with your inner child. More issues may include; Rejection transforms into acceptance Abandonment into i will never leave you or forsake you. Abuse / neglect into Caring for Betrayal into loyalty faithfulness Degrade / devalue into Value Violated into comply or respect Robbed into compensate Unloved into loved etc. And as this happens in our hearts it augments change in our character and frees us to love those outside of ourselves as we participate in loving our wounded inner child inside of ourselves. This is the key to "healing and becoming" As the issues Contrary to love become that which is place upon it ( acceptance and love ) as exampled by Buddha in this story and by Jesus when he says to love your enemies..... For in doing so your enemy becomes your friend. Another similar view is the natural progression of compost to flower or flower to compost. Either way a death and a burial must occur in order for transformation to happen.

      @@Stoofbird11 i can understand your perspective and it seems reasonable, However, the bible says, it is appointed to a man once to die and then the judgement . Heb.9:27 if in fact you believe your objective impersonal spirit body is in need of augmentation the bible states it that we are complete yet we are to add to. So as you participate and become one with your suffering within your personal experience, as of course the objective witness to the subjective victim. That it (the subjective victim) might be swallowed up in victory (the objective). So when the corruptible has put on incorruption this Mortal shall put on immortality it shall be brought to pass the saying that has been written death is swallowed up in Victory. Oh death where is thy sting oh grave where is thy victory? 1Cor.15:54-55 bc God has given us great and precious promises that we can participate in the divine nature he calls us to add to our faith, goodness , knowledge, self control. Perseverance , godliness , mutual affection and love, which means that although being perfect as a new creation (our human spirit ( ovum) joined with Gods holy spirit ( sperm = seed and sheman = oil). becomes the new creation. Ref. 2 cor. 5:17, 2Pet.1:1-6 We are to add to that objective witness of our subjective experience.but since we become one with it. The subjective becomes acclimated into the objective. Which means there is a sense of which our personal subjective experience here on earth augments our impersonal objective spirit, in the way i see it , it is that we bring our objective self into the subjective and experience the suffering and that experience is then acclimated into our objective self in the spirit. That seems a good reason for this objective experience of our subjective self on the physical plane. So that we could know suffering intimately while at the same time able to detach, accept or let go of it after we have learned from it and its fire has refined our experience in love. Count it all joy when you fall into divers Temptations Knowing this that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete in every part wanting nothing. James 1:2-4 And not only so but we glory in suffering for suffering produces patience and patience experience and experience hope. And hope does not disappoint because Gods love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Rom.5:3-5 And you are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and Power. Col.2:10 speaking of Christ.

The commonalities open up the possibility of even more people to relate to on a deeper level. It has helped immensely to learn more and interact with people having similar experiences and ways of thinking.

    You started off on a good point. But then, you tended to get caught up in what I deemed as extreme overthinking the issue. When you spoke of letting go of letting go, why didn't you simply go back to your critiqued interpretation of letting be? And, when you spoke of dying, how did you specifically die? Are you aware that Hawkins had experienced a NDE in his youth? Have you as well? I became more and more confused the more you spoke. It's as though you went down a rabbit hole that tended to contradict everything that Dr. David Hawkins' book addressed in avoiding. As Hawkins suggested, it is important not to label thoughts that arise when embracing feelings. The practice is to simply allow them to run a course until they evaporate. However, it appears that you went into deeper thought and chose to follow your thinking into incredibly cavernous and unanswerable topics. For me, it's as though you ranted on and had begun to dig a hole that got completely away from the heart of the subject that Hawkins is explaining in his book. Your outlook seems to be quite pessimistic which is a reflection purely of your own opinion that wavers from Hawkins' intent to guide and heal people from an aspect of suffering. I wanted to enjoy this video as it was referred by a subsequent other YT video on the book. However, I find your assessment of the material to be a downer, quite frankly. And, what you have expressed is purely your take, and not necessarily something people may want to consider as worthwhile. I certainly found your ranting on as unnecessary and not worthwhile. And, finally, yes... I did read the book.

      Hi George, I can see how someone might view my communication style as overthinking, I tend to be a fairly thoughtful person, it is in my nature, it's true. I was not referring to NDEs in my video, though I have had several in my life. The point I was making was about the survival-focused nature of the ego, and as a byproduct, death, will be something that can arise in the process of practicing letting go - that is, one may have to confront and be with their fear of death. Though I wouldn't claim to be a perfect student or teacher of Hawkins' teachings, many of his teachings have paradoxical aspects to them as he teaches on non-duality. For instance, he explained that the main use of the body is communication. Often communication is done through some form of thought. I don't believe thought is to be demonized but rather re-contextualized as we grow and learn, just like many things. May all thoughts, questions, rants, fears of death, pessimistic parts and confusions be embraced and held with compassion and grace.

      @@Stoofbird11 Several NDE's?... Interesting! Maybe you're part cat???... IMHO, even your response to my comment is ambiguous. I'd be quite interested in learning about your "several" near death experiences. Perhaps you may want to contact Anthony Chene. He's directed and produced a host of interviews with NDE "survivors." You might want to check them out, they're readily available on YT. From my exploration of NDEs, most experiencers of this phenomenon went through some pretty serious "bone crushing" type accidents, or terminal diseases, most of which only amounted to one episode on an overwhelming average. I've seen that Richard Branson claims to have had some 76 or so NDEs.... Hmmmm??? Pretty curious stuff. What I find annoying in life -- especially on recent popular media (such as YT) -- are claims that tend to evoke a knee-jerk response among humans who want to know "more." Such claims tend to raise justifiable suspicions on my end, especially when floods of views may lead to compensation from advertisers who are limpets to such activity. Authenticity is often a virtue void of advertising. Wishing you the best... and, try to avoid an actual DE with so many NDEs under your belt!

I am a fairly introverted person altogether and prefer small groups of people I know and trust to discuss my most "out there" sort of experiences. There are already plenty of great documentaries and research on NDE's out there which I feel can satiate anybody's curiosity. I agree with you on the extractive incentives on social media platforms. It is actually one reason I have not made many videos and feel more shy to share more about myself on here. I was very surprised when any of my videos managed to get this many views, esp. since I don't make them consistently or very often. I do not monetize any of my content on here. I haven't made a penny from any of the videos I've created, it's just been to share some of my experience, knowledge and hopefully help others if they resonate.

    Excellent talk on.your personal experience with Letting Go. Thank you so much. Nuances, nuances, nuances, that is so true. I always forget that huge point to every practice. We are unique and need to honor that as we practice is what I am hearing?...??

    This was quite fantastic. I'm just diving into the book and I loved when you said.. you reframed it from Letting Go to Letting Be.. Makes alot of sense cause its not a verb!
