Duly noted, but I'm not done. In my time off I had one of my teachers say to me that it is important to keep putting yourself out there if you have something to offer, because somebody might need to hear it, and if you just keep it to yourself, that's selfish. I just needed to go back to the drawing board and come at this thing with a fresh approach. Happy 2025!

That's your perspective. You're entitled to it. I'm going to keep making an effort to be of service and not concern myself too much with what I get out of it.

It's not about the money. It's about growing a channel, spreading a message, and reaching an audience. I received some helpful feedback from this video about how I can improve what I am doing, so that's what I'm going to do.

Well aren't you a ray of sunshine! Keep shining that positivity!

Thanks buddy. I do enjoy it, but I think I might have been doing it wrong. It's more than self-expression. I received lots of great feedback about how I can make better videos from this video. I understand now how important a good thumbnail is rather than just a picture of me scratching my head lol. And I'm going to be more prepared before I sit down to make a video so that I'm not scatterbrained and what I have to say is organized and on point.

I find it awkward to search my soul whilst staring into a camera. There's also a lot of bright lighting shining in my face when I look straight ahead. I make eye contact when I feel like connecting more deeply with my audience. I suppose it's a comfortability thing. Possibly because I don't take enough time to prepare myself before making videos, so everything's a bit rushed. I'm working on this thanks to feedback on this video. Also, if I'm not feeling well, you can tell, it's written all over my face, so I favour my "good" side to the camera to reduce any insecurities that I feel about my image. Sometimes it's my physical welbeing, sometimes it's emotional/mental. All I can say is that I'm working it.

@spirijuality great! Glad to hear it. Just keep on grinding. Wishing you the best of luck in the new year

I hear ya. Thanks to the feedback in this video I've decided to try a different approach to how I've been making videos. I get the impression that because I don't prepare for them properly they get rushed a bit a become somewhat of a muddle, instead of being clear, concise, to the point. After receiving some of this feedback, I made a couple more videos, but then I realized that I had just jumped back into my old habit of not being prepared. I have decided to slow down, make shorter videos, that are more to the point instead of jumping all over the place. There are numerous improvements that people have suggested which I am taking to heart. I think I got caught up in this idea that producing quantity would somehow lead to getting picked up by the algorithm, but I now see that it's the quality of the thumbnail, and the organization of the topic that really leads to more success on this platform. I agree with you that it needs to be more than just self-expression, because that just making it all about myself, and not really honouring the fact that somebody else is going to watch it.

Thanks buddy. I do believe that it is important to express myself in a way that works for me, but it also needs to work for other people or else what's the point? I'm going to refine everything that I'm doing here to make sure that what I have to say is more easily digestible and coherent. It's a funny journey of this whole TH-cam thing, as it brings you face to face with things that you're not aware you're doing as well as things that you need to be doing if you really want to succeed. So, I will never stop being myself, but I'm also going to make an attempt to identify the difference between a good video and a great video.

Hi arivannasart, thank you for your words. I can see your point with the thumbnails. I understand the power of the video title as well. I suppose that's why some videos get 1000 views and some get 6. I can certainly plan certain videos out a bit better as well. Sorry, I was going through a rough time, I wasn't feeling so well, and everything just kinda got to me. I made some changes now, am feeling a lot better, and so I will now continue. Once again, thank you for your words. They are invaluable to me.

Thanks for the encouragement. You're a real ray of sunshine!

@spirijuality ikr😂

Thanks @meatducky, I hear that. I'm going to try harder/make more of an effort. I think I just needed to get lost, I needed to lose my way for a minute so that I could find my way back. I now feel better than ever. Thank you for your kind words in my time of trial.

Thanks finnimckie1502. I won't. I think I just needed to go back to the drawing board to figure myself out. I needed to question everything that I was doing and make sure that I was doing it for the right reasons. Over the last few days I exposed myself to as much higher level thinking as my brain could handle, and in the process of became clear that I need to keep putting myself out there in service. I appreciate you.

Thanks mikeluabeya604, I will continue making videos. I just needed some time to slow down and reflect on everything that I'm doing. I was also facing some health issues which compounded the issue. I was upset so I felt like giving up. This year I will make a much better effort to produce higher quality content. For being there for me when I needed you the most.

Aunti Dano Banano! Luv ya miss ya have a great solsitce tomoz!

I'm talking to you. Well, not you personally, but to anyone who for some reason feels compelled to click on one of the videos that I post.

oh it's on the list, believe me! I dedicate so many videos to the importance of diet, meaning that which we take in through not only our mouths, but our eyes, ears, and directly through our skin, a semi permeable membrane that absorbs everything we come to contact with, right into our blood stream. I would even extend diet to an energetic and psychological level, because we are highly impressionable and everything that we expose ourselves to leaves an imprint.

@@thename5069 it is a list of my insights into the phenomenon based on my own personal experiences dealing with a variety of people over many years. This is the basis of pretty much every video that I've ever made.

@@ClydeDoSomething in my experience the people who do this are always wrong so I don't have to do a thing. They think they're clever but we don't think the same so all they do is interrupt for no reason. I see your point though, I can see how that would be funny!

Jeff Bezos is 5'7

​@@consumerextraordinaire8209 anecdotal

im a short man but seriously bro who cares? the society that makes fun of your for being short is currently giving children hormons and erasing our country's border. Just be willing to be YOU and you are already in a better spot than most.

@@BPFACTS88 we are all different. The point is not to develop a complex as a result of something that we cannot change. The idea is to love yourself for who you are, because judging yourself, comparing yourself to others, and having a victim mentality is not very becoming. It's not a good role model. It's not the advice we would give to children. I used to be insecure about my own body, 6 foot two 145 pounds my whole life. But when I stopped trying to conform to this idea that my body should look like anyone else's, I found that my body was actually perfect for other things. I have a Yoga body. I'll never be a bodybuilder. You know I've also dealt with a lot of racism in my life, but I'm proud of my skin color. Do you have any idea what it is like to be hated by groups of individuals for having a different skin color? Have you ever feared for your life Because certain people think that you are like a disease that needs to be wiped out? I sincerely doubt that any short person has ever felt that kind of persecution from tall people. Personally, I don't think that anyone's plate is any more significant than anyone else's. There are challenges to be faced no matter who you are, what you look like, how much money you have etc. etc. As I understand it, we are given the body that we need for our soul to express itself. I truly believe that understanding this is one of the keys to finding our soul purpose. No pun intended.

You're right. Being a short man is like being an ugly woman. Society thinks you're not needed. I'm not "short" but I'm not tall either but I feel short at 5'9. Most guys I run into are taller than me even though 5'8 is supposed to be average male height it really isn't. I personally don't care but I know some men would. I do care that I run into a lot of women who are 5'6 and up though. You see this more in big cities.

@@mathiastheflyest1 true dat

@@mathiastheflyest1 sup dog! Yeah it's a funny process. I think it's healthy to hate, at least for a little while, as a recognition of disgust, frustration, annoyance etc. I think it's good to acknowledge the hate, and then let it go. I made a video about this back in the day and I used a song that Erik Whiteley wrote about hate as the backing track to it, where the video finishes off with him singing. It's pretty dope. You should check it out. th-cam.com/video/xQCurp-R7vw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rwuPEBMFez-IKxVf

@@lawdhammercy4448 yeah it's a tricky thing to navigate because we have these things called schedules which often interfere with our natural rhythm. I'm doing everything that I can to get out of the rat race and set up a schedule for myself so that I can function more naturally, not according to clocks or any other artificial external sources. I get the impression that when a person is able to simply do what they want all of the time this type of thing wouldn't be much of an issue anymore, that the body and the mind would just synchronize with other naturally occurring rhythms to do with the Earth and the moon And sun and so on.

@londonbowcat1 I really have no idea what it is that you're getting at. I looked up both of those things that you mentioned and I rewatched my own video and I just don't see the connection. Pretty much everything that I shared was from my own observations, my own experiences, my own moral conflict with the way many men are treated by women. I don't know what propaganda you think I got into. I haven't owned the TV for over 20 years. Like I said I have no idea what you're getting at. Who's propaganda?

@@bogdan_cx thanks bro! Good luck with the energy drinks. never drank them myself. I know a lot of people do. The best thing I found to drink is just good old-fashioned water, well, filtered water lol

@@luxury229 what up what up!

Thank you. I see you messaged me privately. I am interested, just thinking about it. Logistics.

@spirijuality how can i connect with you?

@@Sujonkhan88 but we are connected, everything is one, expressing itself as many. aaaaUUUUmmmm. Lol 😂 jokes. I already replied to you on messenger.

@@spirijuality sorry boss

for late reply , I already reply messenger

Thanks you! heart emoji.

Awesome to hear beautiful soul. You and I are on the same path. I hope we meet in person some day. Congrats on how far you've come. It takes strength to face these things, to let go of what we "think" we know and surrender to what is.

Thank you for your sharing. If you want to know my thoughts on veganism, check out my "what is veganism" here on youtube. To quote myself "veganism is a civil rights movement that exists amongst humans for animals, which is based on the idea that all animals have the right to live their lives and raise their families, free from suffering, control, interfference etc... video th-cam.com/video/gfI1ta-sG-U/w-d-xo.html I also enjoy beans. Certainly been gravitating to raw food though. Now that I have a dehydrator, I make my own raw breads and crackers. I started making deserts too. So easy in a food processor. I find it hilarious that I used to enjoy cooked deserts, because raw deserts are what truly satisfy my sweet tooth!

Matias de Stefano touches on this subject in his "Initiation" series. I agree it's a lot for some to wrap their minds around, but those who need to get it, will, those who don't, won't, until they're ready for it. Just like the information in the Kybalion, it's so straight forward, but if you don't want to hear it, it won't make any sense to you.

Hey it's my pleasure! It's a funny path, might as well share it!

If this resonates with you at all, you are well along the path. Kudos.

I'm hangin' in there yo! Just follow your heart, everything will just come together, in time. "For we walk by faith, not by sight."-Corinthians 5:7 Control the sexual energy, it's all in the mind. Control the diet. Avoid stimulants. Drink water. Follow Bashar's "formula" aka the excitement principle. Have a purpose. Get in touch with the heart space, and life opens up. Life gives us exactly what we need to grow. They talk about these "butterfly" moments, moments of transformation that occur in times of great hardship. Keep going!

The truth shall set you free!

I've heard it said, the faker you are, the bigger your circle of friends will be, the more real you are, the smaller your circle of friends will be. Some people don't like the reflection of somebody who is evolving, because it reminds them of what they kinda know on a level they should be doing. Haters is what we call them. I recently learned that comparison is just our way of recognizing our own potential. We know down deep that we can be doing more, and it's up to us to decide to be either motivated by that or to hate on others. I Choose to love people for who they are and their accomplishments. It's so much easier to be happy for others and what they do. Everything is important to someone.

Yeah but this isn't sports, it's not a competition, it's psychology!

@@frv6610 I know that I am growing. That's what a dark Knight of the soul is all about. Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I always appreciate feedback. As far as investing, I have always chosen to invest in myself so that I am always my greatest investment. To me this means learning languages, the language of music, the language of writing, speaking, Yoga etc. Part of my predicament as a spiritually oriented person is that I've never been able to chase after money. I live my life according to a set of principles that I am governed by. It makes me who I am, and I have faith that this path that I'm on is the right one for me and will get me where I need to go. I eat walnuts pecans hazelnuts Brazil nuts cranberries Goji berries raisins mangos figs and dates on a daily basis. I take raw vegan protein Shake with extra spirulina in it every couple days. I eat a whole fresh raw ripe organic fruit and vegetable diet. I eat whole grains and beans once in a while. I eat a good amount of healthy fats because of my Vata constitution Ayurveda. I'm very conscious of my macro and micro nutrients. I practice callisthenics a few days a week. I practice yoga twice a day seven days a week because I am in a process of becoming a yoga teacher. I run and bike at least once a week. And I work a physically demanding job. I do squats and lunges . I personally believe that everything has a spiritual component to it. To me there is no isolation of causes and effects. To me everything is connected intimately. An imbalance in one area means an imbalance in all areas. I think it's perfectly natural to go through a process of letting go of some old energy just like at a funeral. When something comes to an end we go through a process where we acknowledge what happened and we make a choice to move on. I feel much better now. I just attended a wellness festival which was very heartening and life affirming, and funny enough one of the themes had to do with a dark Knight of the soul, so it was very synchronous for me. Anyways thanks for your comments, take care stay tuned if you like, more roller coaster ride to come! Lol

@@SuperPenguin5495 I will definitely be posting my progress with the van build.

@@frv6610 we have a few examples of awakened consciousness, in works given to us by individuals such as the Buddha, Jesus, Laozi, Hermes Trismegistus, and Bashar. There are also a number of yogis who attained Christ consciousness, but even beyond this type of attainment on the physical plane, it continues on the astral plane and then on the spiritual plane. Matias DeStefano touches on a lot of this stuff in his Initiation series on Gaia TV. So I guess the short answer to your question is into the non-physical realms.

@@sandeepnain8774 I cannot tell if this is a joke or if you're serious because of the way that you worded your comment and the smiley face afterwards. All I can tell you is that I had every sign and I suffered for years, until I took the advice of a number of other people who found a way to heal from this type of autoimmune disease/allergic reaction. This is my story, believe it or not.

Dude, they're fixing it up. Such a cool building. My architect buddy told me that it was the first skyscraper in the world, because somebody invented an elevator, making tall buildings more accesable.

When I was young and was struggling in school I went to a hypnotherapist a few times but it didn't seem to work, not that I remember anyways!

@@spirijuality Gotcha! Could be that the hypnotherapist wasn't skilled enough to know how to work with different levels of suggestibility.

@@dipazlip I suppose so. I've always been curious about hypnotherapy and what it can do. I think it's fascinating how someone under the influence of hypnosis can see through solid objects as if they weren't even there.

Y'know, I wandered the streets, on foot, all the way from Central Park down to where you can see the Statue of Liberty, and I felt it was pretty clean and safe. Neighbourhood after neighbourhood, parks and buildings, streets, trees, and shops. If witnessing that makes me an idiot in your eyes, so be it.

@@spirijuality LOL !!! 🤣 Your Gaslighting Skills are incredible !!! 🤣 Joe Biden needs your Gaslighting Skills to help convince us that he's doing a great job.

@@patrickrobinson317 that's not gaslighting. I'm being honest. Clearly you've never seen any of my other videos or have any clue what I'm about as a person. I'm a heart-based individual. My approach with everyone is to always be open honest upfront straightforward genuine authentic and sincere. This is evident in every one of the couple hundred videos that I have posted on TH-cam, but hey you're entitled to your opinion. And I'm not gaslighting you. You know there is this phrase from the book a course in miracles which speaks about how the ego views the world, "suspicious at best, vicious at worst." I'm not saying this is you per se, but it's what my intuition is telling me, so I thought I would share.

I spoke to others about it, they say it's just one of those unwritten rules about living in the city, it's just the way that it is, which is kinda understandable with a place that size, so many people, and so much going on, if you don't block some of it out it could be hard to get anything done.
