This video is in 2-parts: 1) Why you should tackle a big book (in general) (0:00 - 4:10) 2) Why you should tackle this big book specifically! (4:10 - 12:33) It's so difficult to summarise this book. Before you dive in, give 'AQAL' a search on Google and see if it's something that interests you. This has been a real shift in my understanding who I am, how I came to be, and why I might struggle to change, so it really is a paradigm shifting book (just from the psychological lens alone).

I'm a younger guy and have recently found myself interested in becoming a teacher. What general advice would you give to somebody like me? Love your content

To help you on your journey, the book outlines 4 specific archetypes per stage of the quest. 4 best suited for preparation 4 for the journey itself 4 for the return/transformation There will likely be some areas in which you are naturally strong, and others which you struggle with. The process is all about understanding the specific goals, fears, methods, and worldviews of each of the archetypes (amongst other categories) and seeing how well they harmonise with each other. I actually found this book for £2.99 in Oxfam last year. That's 25p per archetype - bargain!

Im stil a student but this video was really helpful too understanding why i could learn better in certain subjects. One time i had philosophy teacher who was very open to us, told us about how he represents himself and such. For example he told us that he always wears a suit because he takes the roll of the teacher, outside or at home he would never wear suits. He then proceeded too ask us if we change our clothes/behavior at school or anywhere else and a big majority said yes, we continued the conversation but sadly i can only remember small bits. I really liked that teacher, he always seemed to be in a good mood when talking to us and actually enjoy being a teacher. I would usually get the best grades in his lessons because he would listen/speak and we would also listen/speak. (I just wanna remark that my english may have some grammar failures because it's not my first language) Tl;DR Great video! :D

I've been exploring this concept for a year now and I thoroughly recommend Qi Gong as an amazing way of grounding and tuning into the body. Also somatic hypnotherapy!

im trying to find the book in persian can you write the full name of author please? or maybe an acces link to pdf i can download 🙃 thank you for sharing much love from iran❤

Replace the word 'teach' or 'teacher' for anything else and the points will still apply! Parent, business owner, friend, counsellor, etc - it's the courage to show up fully and authentically in each which is required. It is all about integrity and identity, not technique. If you involved in any education, teaching, mentoring, tutoring, healing, counselling or coaching field (and other similar fields), I would recommend this book in particular out of many in this series.

Genuinely relate to this. I’ll have a look at the book and see if it’s something I’d enjoy reading.

you're making me excited to read. thanks for the videos bro

Enjoyed the video.

I love the starting... simple words to explain about the book

great video , really useful

great video man! so many resonances here... i like especially your note about not overcomplicating things. it feels sometimes like people in self-improvement circles speak in such religious terms about technology, 'dopamine as the new devil' when really, so long as your intentions are clearly set, it all tends to fall into place.

Omg, that's just perfect timing, I will give it a read this month. Thank you!

3 songs for you to experience my type of music: (Non-metallers, be warned) 1 - Misþyrming - Orgia th-cam.com/video/4Gx3DhDrRxc/w-d-xo.html 2 - Immortal - The Call of the Wintermoon th-cam.com/video/4FYOzCvreA8/w-d-xo.html 3 - Oranssi Pazuzu - Uusi Teknokratia th-cam.com/video/xgCXSvHKrw4/w-d-xo.html Can you see how the colder/rainier/windier/more miserable outside it is, the more intense this would sound? That's antifragility (for me)! Make the weather more miserable, please!

Love what you're doing, great content bro 👊

HA! Hilarious mistake in this video at 5:05! I had many more facts and post-it notes that I didn't use for this video, but kept them in front of me, leading to some HORRENDOUSLY POOR Maths. 5:05-5:12 14 hours saved per week (2 per day) is 28 hours per FORTNIGHT* (not month) That's actually 2 extra days per month, not 1, if I can reduce my phone time down from 4 hours a day to 2. That's massive!

Are you a credentialed therapist?

Very much appreciate this video series. However, I haven't seen any affiliate link to book sales, which makes me curious about your intent in creating this series.

The cat!!

I am not affiliated in any way with John Firman and Ann Gila, but I would highly recommend checking out the articles on their website: www.psychosynthesiscircle.com/articles I used an example that paraphrased the introduction to their book (The Primal Wound) which is also the 7th article on that list. It's a wonderful place to start, and if it resonates with you then please buy their book. It has the potential for massive change, insight and revelation

Please keep up these videos! You are seriously underrated and I know with time this channel will boom! Great work

I really like this. I think people feel more comfortable some of the value domains that others. For example, a person who considers themselves very driven may be frequently acting in a way that aligns with their “creative values”, but without considering their attitude. Conversely someone might feel they are “living life to the fullest” by prioritising their experiential values, but without working towards anything that would satisfy creative values.

Do not ask “What is the meaning of life?” Instead ask, “What is the most meaningful thing that I can do right now given my limited conditions?” Much narrower. Much more specific. Much more likely to lead to action. Also, enjoy this wonderful rule: "To live as if you are living for the second time, and had acted as wrongly the first time as you are about to act now" Viktor Frankl (quote found in both 'Man's Search for Meaning' as well as 'Doctor and the Soul')

Underated stuff!

The exercise in this video is adapted from the Hall of Exemplars on Page 85. A wonderful book, and it ends with 'Travel Tips for Pilgrims' which is equally filled with great suggestions, activities, questions and so on

nice video..is this similar to shadow work

Great video sir

Will add it to my reading list, thanks!

Exciting to hear , I hope we can get to the next video.

2:35-2:50 Wow. Firstly, I can relate to your experience, especially regarding how you described how alienated your feelings were. I’ve been on the journey for several years now, and have identified this for me to come from extensive full- body muscle armoring. Last year, I had a significant breakthrough, where an emotional confrontation with my parents led to me having, essentially the same thought/feeling that you described in the time stamped segment during an “epiphany”. I’ll continue watching the video now, but I just had to stop to write that. I find it rare to resonate with people that sort of level.

Please buy this book! It's wonderful! The questions as they appear on Page 23 of Embracing Your Inner Critic: (full credit to Hal and Sidra Stone - these are NOT my questions) Firstly, write down any particular comments or statements that your Inner Critic is used to repeating. Then... 1 - Does this statement sound like somebody that I know? (or used to know) 2 - When do I first remember being concerned about this issue? 3 - What were your mother's favourite judgmental comments about you? If she did not say these out loud, what was it about you that you knew displeased her? (Replace 'mother' with any other relevant figure) 4 - Think of the ways in which your mother judged other people. Write down some of her favourite judgements about others. Reflecting on these questions alone will help you to understand where some of the comments that your Inner Critic repeats came from. I would highly recommend this book to take this much further, and begin healing those wounds.

This is exactly what Ive been looking for on my self help journey, really looking forward to your series :)

the audio is pretty rough. i think there are ai Programms, that help with this problem by distorting your audio

Hello Mr Clark! This sounds like a very promising series. I look forward to your recommendations 😁

This was beautiful, Billy, thank you. And the article as well.

I think this is accurate. Asking oneself, “Why did I choose to believe or do this/that?” is an easy doorway into knowledge of the self and one’s true motivations and how to change them, and through that change one’s engagement with the world.

The area of circle cutout could be expressed as A= theta/360deg * pi * radius squared. So if we take unit radius r1 that is 1 unit long, and theta is full circle this would mean that: A=pi. If we take another radius r2 that represents r1 that is elongated by a factor we come to conclusion: To cover the same area with only 1 degree the length of r2 is around 18.97. This in turn means that a person having r1 should "swing their stick around" 6840 degrees - which is around 19 circles just to cover the same area. In truth success cannot be measured that is why we have a planet full of lusting and envious people fighting over things that they perceive has value - and what has value are the things we wish for, and are usually the things we lack - both need and greed. So the greater is the feeling of lack - the greater is the impression of others people success. To be content with yourself more aligns with the stick analogy, however the stick would then represent the difficulty of the endeavor. I am telling you this since I had that thing what people consider success, and when I finally took a bite of that carrot I realized that it was made of plastic. Being content is much easier and life affirming since it is about what goals do you choose to set for your self. And it could very well be something unimpressive like petting a cat or something like having a cup of coffee and spending time to write a reply to a fellow wisdom seeker.

Frankl had a fascinating story of course, but I don’t really admire his actual work. It reeks of, “tough it out, you’ll make your momma sad.”

I dislike few things more than the roar of leaf blowers. Your message was lost for me.

Will you still say yes to life in spite of everything? Regardless of your birth circumstances, past choices, resources, etc. What is the life task that is needing to be done? How can you find a way to say yes to it?

I feel like you are saying interesting things but that background noise makes it unlistenable. Basic video editors like capcut have a way to edit out background noise. I suggest editing and reuploading

Things dont need to be perfect but the background noise was unacceptable to me. Anyway I agree with your speech and the background view was beautiful.

Long live simplicity.

Never been a better ontological PSA than this. Thank you for posting.

Its crazy because I was starting to have this kind of toughts early today and this video of you better articulaing the idea pop up.

Thanks Mr Clark!

I didn't realise how loud it was with car horns at times - apologies for that! As I say, I'm aiming for good enough, not perfection. It stays in, unedited. Hope you enjoy and gain something useful from this.

love this one. been feeling this way for awhile but didn't really know how to articulate it. im getting back to the gym and returning to pleasure can potentially play such a big role to that.

Very interesting points, thanks
