I was once meditating when I had this overwhelming feeling that the universe wanted to talk to me. I got all excited and I asked: "what do you want to say to me, universe?" and it said: "shhh…"
Okay my ego feels personally attacked right now because you have just described its actions to a tee hahaha - thankyou for this wonderfully timely reminder that we can't "think" our way to enlightenment.
Writing this comment also proofs that your spiritual ego has learnt something therefore it wants to gained attention. Even i grew my spiritual ego by pointing this out and take credit out of it.. AA also grows his spiritual ego by explaining what is SE, the point is how or when to use our SE at the right time to grow better Malchut.
Just yesterday I was listening to The Aaron Abke podcast in Spotify, precisely Episode 22: The Science of Spiritual Awakening. And the next quote hit me like a train ''Many people who claim to have already had a spiritual awakening, are still completely identified with their mind, and have no awareness of who they are beyond their story or their thoughts. And this is because the ego loves spiritual identities more than anything else''. Bitch slap/Front Kick/Right in the nuts...my face still hurts. Woke up craving for an episode on spiritual ego. Here it is. There are no words to thank you. You seem to always be guiding us gently to the next step, we truely love you man...
My girlfriend told me I tend to be preachy. Of course I was incredulous and offended until I saw this video (for the like 5th time 🙄) and started laughing at myself. Thanks Aaron. You and her have brought me back down off my throne 😂
Funny how synchronicities work for me. I was just talking about this with a person and this video showed up and it says exactly how I was feeling in regards to the Spiritual Ego. She was saying they, she, we, "light workers" as she claims herself to be, are here to "save" people from their Ego, but that she got a download that now we have to stop trying to "save" them. I can not tell how much this felt in dissonance inside. "Save"? Who are we? And why do we think we have to "save" them as if we were superiors and "already saved ourselves". It's like, I need to take the beam of my eye, but I'm looking at other people's eyes. When we remove all labels, there's only the infinite void, the source, the Totality, pure consciousness...and all the illusion is gone, the separation, the labels, and levels that make us believe we are higher than they are, when They, are Us, the same source expressed from another point of perception. Who is the "I" that thinks "they" need to be saved? or I am "awake" and they are "asleep" just because I can see what they don't. Each one is in their own dream...and each one is the creator of their dream/reality. and we co-create a collective dream...but in a deeper level there's only Pure Consciousness, God, source, the one, dreaming it all. We are the dream and the dreamer. Why do we think our dream is the truth and theirs is not? The resurrection into our true Self only occurs when we stop identifying with labels, names, accumulated past memories and programs accepted as the definition of who we think we are. Once we remove all those layers then we can become a clear channel for the river of life, flow through us. The Ego, is needed to play in this density, but it's the Altered Ego that took over. The Ego needs to be recognized and become subordinated to the SELF. Without Ego at all, we are Source, pure consciousness, the I AM, and we would not be able to play this game of self expansion, self Awareness and self gratification. We need to be able to be in the Game, but know we aren't the game and that's how we transcend the illusion, but we can still enjoy being here. Create, play, enjoy the Beauty of all creation. Just like when we play a video game. We choose a character, but we know that we are not it. Then we don't fear death, or care about what really happens...it is just a game. Some take it serious, identify with it and suffer it, like also with sports, but when their change their focus to something else, they even forget about their game, or their team having lost...and let go of the emotions attached to it. "Life is a Game, play it"
Very informative video. The biggest trap about any type of pride or ego is that it will trick us into believing that we need to overcome or become something or present ourselves a certain way. It deceives us away from focusing on the love, peace, joy, beauty and goodness that exist in the moment.
Yes..I am the Soul connected with higher Soul..I am that i am. I am not the body not the mind not the thoughts not the emotions..i am a child of God connected with God i am one with God and one with all this is the truth..weather the mind understands or not..
Simple humility is the undoing of the spiritual ego. One of my greatest teachers, David R Hawkins, uses a similar question to undo the spiritual ego. That question is "So what?". Using these questions has made it glaringly obvious in myself and other people when the ego is trying to prove itself, gain validation, or take pride in itself.
Im relieved... i did hear the term "spiritual ego" but for me it was just "a ego". Thank you for showing me, im on the right path with "who cares?!" Its my favorite quote 😂😂😂❤ much love from Germany ❤❤❤
I've been listening to Steve Hillage my whole life... Especially the motivation radio album.... It was my greatest opportunity to remember myself and when God woke me up I knew exactly who I was and why I was here... Steve Hillage could possibly be channelling the teachings of Ra in a simplistic form .... Motivation radio is by far one of the greatest albums in the world.... It was my direct line to the christ.... Which then in turn made me want to learn about jesus... Which I knew instantly the moment I awakened was an enlightened master just as the budda is.... And that I am the prodical sun and that no matter how far I wander... When cognitive dissonance arises I can always return home to the christ in my heart.... My saviour ... I followed the teachings of Buddhism up until that moment.... But now I understand that all religious teachings say the same thing.... They are tools to remember that.... Love always wins... I am love! Undiluted Neverending pure source energy... The creator.....Hinduism helps me alot... And Evangelists.... I started with the law of one and you started with religion... I found religion and you found the law of one.... This makes me happy.... I love who you are...I love talking to you. And I love your teachings.....have a lovely day Aaron 😁
I love the counterintuitive paradoxical nature of life. Understanding could be the recognition of non understanding. I understand that I don't understand.
3:02 is exactly where I’m at. Going through the dark night right now. Over the years I’ve obsessively gathered spiritual knowledge, thinking I was integrating it. All it took was getting into a relationship where all my trauma came to the surface and came to an exploding point that made it VERY apparent that all the knowledge in the world means nothing without embodiment.
I asked the one who started me on my path if he could give any insight or advice on the ego taking credit for the awakening and enlightenment effects I’ve been experiencing, or about how the slightly unconscious spiritual ego slowly gains superiority over the completely unconscious ego, eventually becoming just as powerful, controlling, and reactive as the original mind tyrant. Within the same day this video just jumped off my screen; my mind making it seem like it was meant for me to discover amongst all the other as an entity I couldn’t ignore. Nothing else existed around it, and all I see in memory is this particular video bigger than my screen and the only clear image at the time. After listening to it, I have a much better grip on what’s really happening as I witness my ego seeming to change into another ego based off my new experiences and the different reactions and judgements I’m now unintentionally programming myself with. I’m so very thankful to those sharing their insightful knowledge where we can all gather and learn and practice our awakening with so many different perspectives and ways of gaining this freedom. I’ve barely scratched the surface, but already so much is changing and happening strangely and naturally. I keep finding myself so full of bliss that I’m having to calm my emotions to stop the flow of tears from the incredible joy of freedom, and from this path I always knew was here but was missing so much detail and motivation to pursue the depths of it. Thank you.. and I hope other experiences are as profound as my own and more. The excitement and possibilities are endless.
Learning to humble myself. I am divine and I don't need to make anyone see my uniqueness anymore. I was trying too hard to have people acknowledge me and my pain, and how to be there for me and love me right.... wheeeeen maybe they didn't want to, and I shouldn't have been trying so hard to make someone like or love me to begin with. I was focused on the wrong things. There is only this one energy, and that energy just already is. It doesn't need anything from itself. Just the ego wants more and to try 'fixing' things when there's truly nothing to fix. Maybe to grow and evolve but not to gain anything from itself. Screw the seperate self, that was too much drama lol. I have to love myself first, and see that I am just pure consciousness, without all of that egoic baggage. I know it's here right now, but my ego is still strong so it still has some inner work to do lol. Meditation will let all of it go. I can't wait to feel free from this mental prison!
Knowledge only gets us so far. The only ways to elevate consciousness is by keeping awareness on itself or on silence.... Nissargadata teaches to focus on the feeling I AM. If you do this long enough the “I AM” will dissolve and all that’s left is silence, emptiness..... the perfume of this silence and vastness is all encompassing Love and Bliss, a peace that is incomprehensible! Thank you Aaron for shining your beacon. There seems to be many steps.... it Truly boils down to we either give ourselves to silence or we don’t.... ❤️❤️❤️
I've been SO feeling that the mystical experiences and "downloads" don't matter at all. They're interesting and beautiful, but I'd rather just wake up and serve others. No one needs to know, and ACTUALLY, my sharing could be detrimental for others. They might believe that they aren't "getting it". It's silliness
Brian, you introduced me to Aaron and for that I'll be forever grateful. You both have taught me so much and expanded my understanding and awareness immeasurably. Thank you to both of you🤗
@@mrsbethaniesmith thanks its so crazy how it all happened lol she's seriously holds the other half of my heart..its like we are 1 being split into 2 my true twin flame
In my experience I still improving the ego, is my belief that as long as I have a body and a mind that serve as a tool I always gonna be aware of the possibility of an spiritual ego and others too, all egos anyway. I'm working in transforming my ego to be more flexible, I allow my ego to be part of the team but is not the one who runs the party when big decision or life change is involve, I friendly allow it to enjoy an emotional 🍨 or 😢 for littler dramas, it keeps balance my wholeness, my shadow is welcome too because at the end of the day we all in this together and in my experience all play a part. My wholeness is my oneness. Thank you for sharing your experiences and for your guidence. Blessings. ☮️⚛️☯️
I needed this for sure. I’ve been pretty good at being aware of the thoughts which come from Ego and sending them on their merry way, but this morning I found myself dealing with an old thinking pattern due to someone not responding to my text right away. A narrative begins and immediately I think “they must be mad at me, I should apologize”. As I sat in silence my true self was like….apologize for what? And just like in the end of the scooby doo cartoons, I pulled the mask off this suffering thought and low and behold….it was the ego. Not this time, ego. I’m done listening to your imaginary narratives that give me knots in my stomach. Thank you, Aaron. The “who cares” is my new comeback to the thoughts which are not mine.
Couldn’t a debate be had that service to others rest in sharing enlightenment? Staying within and observing the world around without connection feels as it’s a service to self. I understand the overall picture of this thought and your message, just food for thought.
Some people talk about it because they want others to experience it or they are themselves try to understand themselves what's going on. Then finally learn it's best to keep mouth shut.
A great chess analogy of check mate at 10:50; in any case, just make sure to recognize that even this entire perspective of enlightenment is still biased, and isn't necessarily beneficial to everyone. At the beginning, this video mentioned that we don't even know how our process of thinking works, and then comes to the most extreme conclusion, before suggesting not to care, and to self short-circuit. Those of us who care about meta perspectives and have different motivations than to just reduce stress in life may be perfectly fine integrating that which you prefer to remove. And after all, if this isn't another test of whether you can find a decision that goes contrary to the advertised stereotypes, then what is? We don't know what long-term impact does an incomplete belief system have on our soul anyway, and I'm worried that we may just repeat the same pattern that applies to our Earth: living in bubbles of biases where you can only navigate in the mirror of your own perspective :) Is there an evidence that this pattern never applies again in higher dimensions? :P
Thank you. Oh my days. This was hilarious and humbling. And enlightening. It HAS been niggling at me, all the stories and explanations I get into. Your True Self just smiles silently. And allows silently. Most everything else is… 🐺 licking its lips lol (is that a wolf emoji? I have no idea). Yup, def noticed my ego having a grumble mumble as I was listening. Bit of shame in there too. It really is a slippery tricky thing isn’t it. Well, this was the piece I feel I needed right now. It’s like the next level of moving the awareness deeper inwards. Sheesh. Now whenever I say “I” lol I’m even more aware of it. Hmmm which “I” is speaking right now. “I need…” Hmm do you really? Which “you” believes it “needs”…? This was very funny but an important point to learn to discern within ourselves. Thank you so much for explaining it so eloquently and elegantly. And with humour too 😁
Thank you for the clarification on the mind. I call the "I" mind the undermind because it tries to undermine my progress. However, I've gotten much better at recognizing its tactics. In addition to asking, "Who cares?", one might also ask, "Who is it serving - self or other selves?" Blessings to all 🙏
As we can't solve a problem with the same consciousness that created it... We have to rise above it and take the focus off and the easiest way to do that is.... Laughter....it may sounds like I'm preaching to the preacher here but We both know that I could be indirectly talking to someone else whilst directly talking to you...including myself... . From my heart to yours. .. A good ole belly laugh 😁 and if that doesn't work then Steve Hillage motivation radio album might 😂.... God loves that album... I'm gonna listen to it right now 😘 cheers God... I love you 💖
Oh yes! I lived in China for four years and I would always hear the word “never mind” or “doesn’t matter”. I loved that. I have since adopted these words because it would just discard or forgive whatever arose.
Thank you, Aaron. You are a blessing! I love your straight forward answers in a basic setting . . You're a breath of fresh air, my friend. I usually go on binge mode and watch several videos in one study session. Easy on the eyes 🙃 and ears, clear spoken words loaded content and topnotch presentations everytime. Blessings to you and yours. May you always be abundantly blessed.
If only I can tell you the number of times somethings been happening in life and your video has come synchronised to it. Lately within awareness the 'I' thought has been saying "I don't care" to everything. "who cares" actually opens the doors. Thank you!!!!!
At first I tried telling people in my family who either didn't believe me are thought I was on drug or going crazy. Now I just keep it to myself. God can show them when he wants them to know.
This is really important topic, I am trying to stay spiritually grounded, this whole thing is Really a trip. To learn all this stuff is mind blowing and to know what to BELEIVE when all you want is the Truth. This is hard sometimes when you want Peace of mind, think you've found it then the Ego comes back and said "Oh No No No! You don't get off that easy...."
Other people killed my spiritual ego a long time ago... Someone used to call me the guru and I don't wanna be a guru.... I just wanna be little ole me.... Whichever little ole me I'm being at the time... meditation is a way of gaining more energy or making myself feel better.... That's it....everytime I felt enlightenment... It didn't last long so I just gave up... I like who I am.... As long as I can talk to God and enjoy my life I'm happy.... And I also found that I'm exactly the same person I was in the first place with the exact same personality and the exact same humour.... Im just a better creator.... And before you think my spiritual ego wrote thar last sentence... Most people would say artist.... God loves to create through me.... And you it seems.... I love the way you explain things...its easy..😁.. My ego is saying I need to sleep now so goodnight...😁
Thank you for coming to my rescue...you are God-sent.. what you said about the manifestations of spiritual ego... show tell in.......timely...so timely....keep quiet and reap the rewards!!
Brilliant explanation. Contribution to others should always come from an expectationless point in the future. It should be done for the balance in the universe and not for reaping any reward.
“Maybe the download isn’t done downloading,.” Ooooop I felt that one! One of the things I’ve been exploring is that sometimes when I feel the urge to share before something has fully integrated and been baked into my system, is that there is often a worthiness piece there as well that is coming up. Like, “wow I just received this beautiful gift of this download! Now I must give it away immediately because I’m not worthy of it.” Staying quiet and fully integrating what I receive is my major act of self-love these days. ❤️ Thank you as always for your message, Aaron ✨
Bhaaah bhaaah hahaha u made me laugh. There's such a pure childlike deliverance you have in all your videos, so easy to follow and comprehend. I started from your oldest and have been working through them all. So much gold, and it's like finally everything comes together only to liberate me from everything that never "had" me in the first place. After all is said and done, do nothing but provide service by going inward and everything else just happens as a side effect. 💛☀️🙏 bless you. Thank you.
Was c a c k l i n g when you got to the part about being in deep meditation and the ego's voice talking about , "Wow I can attain such deep states of bliss and stillness in meditation" because I've experienced that very thing and when it happened took me out of the feeling of peace immediately. 🤣You hit the nail right on the head man 👊
Great video Aaron. I remember at the beginning of my spiritual formation the need to demonstrate what I learned, many times sharing information with people who were even not prepared to listen to it. Over time these patterns become conscious, through the same consciousness that knows what to say to each individual and when to help them, without the need to shine above the rest, because in the end, there is no rest.
This was another perfectly timed video! How the heck..... I've gotten to the point where I inwardly laugh at my ego and say things like, "Haha, good one. Wow😐. Nice try". It makes me smile when I catch "myself" (which is a lot!).😁
My father in law is a pastor. I didn't even have a concept of god until I was in my 20's. That said, my spiritual ego was built immediately, and with a sneaky foundation of, "modern southern baptist." An accepting, knowledgeable tyrant. 🎭🤣💯🎯
Indeed. Of course this triggers my ego because how can I evolve without doing the work to get there? This is important but feels like only one side of the story. You did lots of work to get where you are as a guide. Life is about the experience of living and the change within from that experience as we come to understand/remember that we are part of God. The opposite of doing is inertia. So, we must do the necessary work to evolve our consciousness - even if that means learning to unlearn how we learn and who we think we are.
Good one!🙏 This could be framed as; the complete experience of "I am not enlightened" ....as seen from the seekers perspective. Pointing fom the other direction; nothing real was lost, what remains includes everything.
Thank you so much for this video Aaron. I have been searching for a way to comprehend this and I understood everything you said with clarity. Sending blessings from Aotearoa (New Zealand) !
I think you described my experience. I had a sudden awakening (while listening to one of your videos) and it was just so exciting that I wanted to share to my friends. After about 6 months I am back in illusion and suffering. I know the "problem" now. Thank you
This one is sooo good. "I just want to be seen" who wants to be seen? I catch myself wanting to share immediately after I have a deep awareness. Such a great discussion 🙏
Love this!!!! Was just talking about this with a friend... In a book called The Way of Mastery it says "The spiritual ego is the last ego to go" and Conversations with God shares "you arent enlightened because you want to be enlightened, but because you are" In other words there is nothing we have to do and if "i" do nothing then simply (Yahweh) "I Am that I Am"
I'm going now cos I've got things to do.. Places to go and people to see.... And I have to grace the subjects with my presence.... Stand up straight.... Crown on and off we go.... 😀
My spiritual ego was massively caught out too! And especially because I've been using that Who Cares statement for a while myself, it was something that just came to me... and then Aaron said it and my ego was like: See!! I must be super tuned in if I got this same thing as Aaron! Lol"
I like this VIDEO. It helps to remind ourselves to stay centered and humble. Let me ask you a genuine, sincere question: How do you describe what you do on your channel? I ask because I learn and like to share. In the LAW OF ONE, RA says, when we learn we must share. That's what I try to do. I hesitate a lot but eventually I'm impelled from my inner voice to share.
Thank you So much Aaron, yesterday night I had a nightmare and listening to you has grounded me back to my reality I AM, Bless you , you are a gift for Humanity from God
The "i" was upset, "i" got confused, the "i" throughout found it challenging at times to finish the video. Eventually, it become to clear, tears then began to flow. Afterwards we understood how spiritually immature the "i" had been for so long. ~In Lak'ech 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Funny you posted this! I was listening to you the other day, and you were rapid firing all the truth I can so relate to but have no words for them. Then I thought to myself, “I wonder how Aaron think of himself after all that these brilliant things coming out of his mouth.” Haha! I love you, brother! Stay brilliant 🙏
@@AaronAbke Thank you for sharing this with us. This is also my latest discovery as well. It's not the be all or end all 🤷🏼 I'm thinking of just going on camera in a group or something just to get used to it, even if I'm not sure of the how or those limiting thoughts that creep in. There's so much I want to talk about sticking to one thing and keeping it simple is my goal 👍✨💫
Aaron you just shook my entire life path of the last 20 years... Is understanding something so well that becomes too clear to keep it for myself and sharing with those who may need it right then and there, an egoic event then?? Silvia from Italy paralized.
The beauty of your words is that you give a lot of importance on the integration of knowledge i.e the application of it. Without out which it would remain or not remain in the storehouse of knowledge...Thank you, Aaron🙏❤
I was once meditating when I had this overwhelming feeling that the universe wanted to talk to me. I got all excited and I asked: "what do you want to say to me, universe?" and it said: "shhh…"
Love this ❤😅 👏
Okay my ego feels personally attacked right now because you have just described its actions to a tee hahaha - thankyou for this wonderfully timely reminder that we can't "think" our way to enlightenment.

There is no "I" other than God. It is all God working and directing creation towards its ultimate perfection.

I know it's here right now, but my ego is still strong so it still has some inner work to do lol. Meditation will let all of it go. I can't wait to feel free from this mental prison!
Who is being silent?
Who am I?
Brilliant!!
Thanks Aaron for all your free content, It's so generous of you!
You can never know Who you are however paradoxically. You are always free to be yourself.
I recognize this universal theme: "if you want something, you have to not want it to get it." So triggering.
Ive noticed u can want it too just not need it. Ofc many times this overlap😔🤧
@@nils4415 non-attachment is the key
@@johnraina4828 spot on
Thats me right here right now . I already want nothing but life and the creator and everything is coming to me fast!!
Knowledge only gets us so far. The only ways to elevate consciousness is by keeping awareness on itself or on silence.... Nissargadata teaches to focus on the feeling I AM. If you do this long enough the “I AM” will dissolve and all that’s left is silence, emptiness..... the perfume of this silence and vastness is all encompassing Love and Bliss, a peace that is incomprehensible! Thank you Aaron for shining your beacon. There seems to be many steps.... it Truly boils down to we either give ourselves to silence or we don’t.... ❤️❤️❤️
I've been SO feeling that the mystical experiences and "downloads" don't matter at all. They're interesting and beautiful, but I'd rather just wake up and serve others. No one needs to know, and ACTUALLY, my sharing could be detrimental for others. They might believe that they aren't "getting it". It's silliness
Yes another mind science episode
Brian, you introduced me to Aaron and for that I'll be forever grateful. You both have taught me so much and expanded my understanding and awareness immeasurably. Thank you to both of you🤗
@@mauritaschut8466 ditto for me as well!
Brian scott the man who changed my life..even met the woman of dreams on his live chat..
@@Rain-df7rb wow 😳 that's great! 😊
@@mrsbethaniesmith thanks its so crazy how it all happened lol she's seriously holds the other half of my heart..its like we are 1 being split into 2 my true twin flame
Thank you, Aaron, this was right on time. Just today I realized that I did need to stop proclaiming so often, what I have been "shown".
What's the alternative or accurate statement?
My mans, you are a gift to the whole. Bless
Thanks for sharing about the EGO, it can be misunderstood by many at times. Great video I enjoyed this perspective. ☺️🙏🏻
In my experience I still improving the ego, is my belief that as long as I have a body and a mind that serve as a tool I always gonna be aware of the possibility of an spiritual ego and others too, all egos anyway. I'm working in transforming my ego to be more flexible, I allow my ego to be part of the team but is not the one who runs the party when big decision or life change is involve, I friendly allow it to enjoy an emotional 🍨 or 😢 for littler dramas, it keeps balance my wholeness, my shadow is welcome too because at the end of the day we all in this together and in my experience all play a part. My wholeness is my oneness. Thank you for sharing your experiences and for your guidence. Blessings. ☮️⚛️☯️
I needed this for sure. I’ve been pretty good at being aware of the thoughts which come from Ego and sending them on their merry way, but this morning I found myself dealing with an old thinking pattern due to someone not responding to my text right away. A narrative begins and immediately I think “they must be mad at me, I should apologize”. As I sat in silence my true self was like….apologize for what? And just like in the end of the scooby doo cartoons, I pulled the mask off this suffering thought and low and behold….it was the ego. Not this time, ego. I’m done listening to your imaginary narratives that give me knots in my stomach. Thank you, Aaron. The “who cares” is my new comeback to the thoughts which are not mine.
Congratulations on Gaia TV!! Looking forward to the three seasons and potentially beyond.
Couldn’t a debate be had that service to others rest in sharing enlightenment? Staying within and observing the world around without connection feels as it’s a service to self. I understand the overall picture of this thought and your message, just food for thought.
Some people talk about it because they want others to experience it or they are themselves try to understand themselves what's going on. Then finally learn it's best to keep mouth shut.
I am loving awareness 💚 i love u aaron, u are so wise
A great chess analogy of check mate at 10:50; in any case, just make sure to recognize that even this entire perspective of enlightenment is still biased, and isn't necessarily beneficial to everyone. At the beginning, this video mentioned that we don't even know how our process of thinking works, and then comes to the most extreme conclusion, before suggesting not to care, and to self short-circuit. Those of us who care about meta perspectives and have different motivations than to just reduce stress in life may be perfectly fine integrating that which you prefer to remove. And after all, if this isn't another test of whether you can find a decision that goes contrary to the advertised stereotypes, then what is? We don't know what long-term impact does an incomplete belief system have on our soul anyway, and I'm worried that we may just repeat the same pattern that applies to our Earth: living in bubbles of biases where you can only navigate in the mirror of your own perspective :) Is there an evidence that this pattern never applies again in higher dimensions? :P
Great insights!
I see enlightenment as being the light that I am, and being guided by the light that I am.
Thank you. Oh my days. This was hilarious and humbling. And enlightening. It HAS been niggling at me, all the stories and explanations I get into. Your True Self just smiles silently. And allows silently. Most everything else is… 🐺 licking its lips lol (is that a wolf emoji? I have no idea).
Yup, def noticed my ego having a grumble mumble as I was listening. Bit of shame in there too. It really is a slippery tricky thing isn’t it.
Well, this was the piece I feel I needed right now. It’s like the next level of moving the awareness deeper inwards.
Sheesh. Now whenever I say “I” lol I’m even more aware of it. Hmmm which “I” is speaking right now. “I need…” Hmm do you really? Which “you” believes it “needs”…?
This was very funny but an important point to learn to discern within ourselves. Thank you so much for explaining it so eloquently and elegantly. And with humour too 😁
Thank you for the clarification on the mind. I call the "I" mind the undermind because it tries to undermine my progress. However, I've gotten much better at recognizing its tactics.
In addition to asking, "Who cares?", one might also ask, "Who is it serving - self or other selves?"
Blessings to all 🙏
As we can't solve a problem with the same consciousness that created it... We have to rise above it and take the focus off and the easiest way to do that is.... Laughter....it may sounds like I'm preaching to the preacher here but We both know that I could be indirectly talking to someone else whilst directly talking to you...including myself... . From my heart to yours. .. A good ole belly laugh 😁 and if that doesn't work then Steve Hillage motivation radio album might 😂.... God loves that album... I'm gonna listen to it right now 😘 cheers God... I love you 💖
Oh yes! I lived in China for four years and I would always hear the word “never mind” or “doesn’t matter”. I loved that. I have since adopted these words because it would just discard or forgive whatever arose.
Thank you, Aaron. You are a blessing! I love your straight forward answers in a basic setting . . You're a breath of fresh air, my friend. I usually go on binge mode and watch several videos in one study session. Easy on the eyes 🙃 and ears, clear spoken words loaded content and topnotch presentations everytime. Blessings to you and yours. May you always be abundantly blessed.
If only I can tell you the number of times somethings been happening in life and your video has come synchronised to it. Lately within awareness the 'I' thought has been saying "I don't care" to everything. "who cares" actually opens the doors. Thank you!!!!!
This is a POWERFUL message!!! Thank you 💚
Infinite Love and Gratitude ♥️
At first I tried telling people in my family who either didn't believe me are thought I was on drug or going crazy. Now I just keep it to myself.
God can show them when he wants them to know.
This is really important topic, I am trying to stay spiritually grounded, this whole thing is Really a trip. To learn all this stuff is mind blowing and to know what to BELEIVE when all you want is the Truth. This is hard sometimes when you want Peace of mind, think you've found it then the Ego comes back and said "Oh No No No! You don't get off that easy...."
I operate from my inner child... Just to be clear 😀.... If it sounds like ego.... That's okay.... I'm a mirror of you.... God knows who I am!
You can always tell when someone cares because they make such an effort to act like they don't. 🙏😮
Excited to see the return of the Mindscience Serie! Thanks Aaron!
Other people killed my spiritual ego a long time ago... Someone used to call me the guru and I don't wanna be a guru.... I just wanna be little ole me.... Whichever little ole me I'm being at the time... meditation is a way of gaining more energy or making myself feel better.... That's it....everytime I felt enlightenment... It didn't last long so I just gave up... I like who I am.... As long as I can talk to God and enjoy my life I'm happy.... And I also found that I'm exactly the same person I was in the first place with the exact same personality and the exact same humour.... Im just a better creator.... And before you think my spiritual ego wrote thar last sentence... Most people would say artist.... God loves to create through me.... And you it seems.... I love the way you explain things...its easy..😁.. My ego is saying I need to sleep now so goodnight...😁
Thank you for coming to my rescue...you are God-sent.. what you said about the manifestations of spiritual ego... show tell in.......timely...so timely....keep quiet and reap the rewards!!
Brilliant explanation. Contribution to others should always come from an expectationless point in the future. It should be done for the balance in the universe and not for reaping any reward.
“Maybe the download isn’t done downloading,.”
Ooooop I felt that one!
One of the things I’ve been exploring is that sometimes when I feel the urge to share before something has fully integrated and been baked into my system, is that there is often a worthiness piece there as well that is coming up. Like, “wow I just received this beautiful gift of this download! Now I must give it away immediately because I’m not worthy of it.”
Staying quiet and fully integrating what I receive is my major act of self-love these days. ❤️
Thank you as always for your message, Aaron ✨
Im so excited for this omg thank you forever Aaron!❤️ Namaste to you all. I love you all infinitely
Bhaaah bhaaah hahaha u made me laugh. There's such a pure childlike deliverance you have in all your videos, so easy to follow and comprehend. I started from your oldest and have been working through them all. So much gold, and it's like finally everything comes together only to liberate me from everything that never "had" me in the first place. After all is said and done, do nothing but provide service by going inward and everything else just happens as a side effect. 💛☀️🙏 bless you. Thank you.
Was c a c k l i n g when you got to the part about being in deep meditation and the ego's voice talking about , "Wow I can attain such deep states of bliss and stillness in meditation" because I've experienced that very thing and when it happened took me out of the feeling of peace immediately. 🤣You hit the nail right on the head man 👊
Great video Aaron. I remember at the beginning of my spiritual formation the need to demonstrate what I learned, many times sharing information with people who were even not prepared to listen to it. Over time these patterns become conscious, through the same consciousness that knows what to say to each individual and when to help them, without the need to shine above the rest, because in the end, there is no rest.
So much learning I can't even describe 🙏👏
‘Who cares?’ is a great tip that I’ve never heard before. Such a simple & powerful tool that I will definitely implement. Thank you ✨✨
Keep up the amazing work you do in this world.
Thanks Aaron, without you there is no life worth living.
This was another perfectly timed video! How the heck.....
I've gotten to the point where I inwardly laugh at my ego and say things like, "Haha, good one. Wow😐. Nice try". It makes me smile when I catch "myself" (which is a lot!).😁
I can’t tell you how much I needed to hear this. Thank you. 🙂
My father in law is a pastor. I didn't even have a concept of god until I was in my 20's.
That said, my spiritual ego was built immediately, and with a sneaky foundation of, "modern southern baptist." An accepting, knowledgeable tyrant. 🎭🤣💯🎯
Such an important topic ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
Aaron you are absolutely amazing! I love you!
Indeed. Of course this triggers my ego because how can I evolve without doing the work to get there? This is important but feels like only one side of the story. You did lots of work to get where you are as a guide. Life is about the experience of living and the change within from that experience as we come to understand/remember that we are part of God. The opposite of doing is inertia. So, we must do the necessary work to evolve our consciousness - even if that means learning to unlearn how we learn and who we think we are.
Thank you so much for these videos. Sincerely, thank you.
Good one!🙏
This could be framed as; the complete experience of "I am not enlightened" ....as seen from the seekers perspective.
Pointing fom the other direction; nothing real was lost, what remains includes everything.
Thank you, Aaron Abke.
Thank you so much for this video Aaron. I have been searching for a way to comprehend this and I understood everything you said with clarity. Sending blessings from Aotearoa (New Zealand) !
I think you described my experience. I had a sudden awakening (while listening to one of your videos) and it was just so exciting that I wanted to share to my friends. After about 6 months I am back in illusion and suffering. I know the "problem" now. Thank you
It takes practice and discipline , no worries forgive your self and keep on going with meditation and mindfulness , stay precent , you got this!
@@jipjap7720 thank you. 6 months later and I'm still in a rough spot. Practice is a must and I will get back on it!

SILENCE...
nothing to say..just witnessing..
🙏
Wow dude! You are AWESOME!! Happy buddhapoornima my guru Ji 🙏🏻💕💐
“ Who cares “ 🤷🏻♂️ hahaha
Another banger like always ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This one is sooo good. "I just want to be seen" who wants to be seen? I catch myself wanting to share immediately after I have a deep awareness. Such a great discussion 🙏
Love this!!!! Was just talking about this with a friend... In a book called The Way of Mastery it says "The spiritual ego is the last ego to go" and Conversations with God shares "you arent enlightened because you want to be enlightened, but because you are" In other words there is nothing we have to do and if "i" do nothing then simply (Yahweh) "I Am that I Am"
Thank you Aaron! ♥️🙏🏻
I'm going now cos I've got things to do.. Places to go and people to see.... And I have to grace the subjects with my presence.... Stand up straight.... Crown on and off we go.... 😀
Thank you. This was "my" dilemma in a nutshell. Working blue collar jobs with no prestige whatsoever have helped with it oddly enough.
Powerful video, softly spoken and informative. Thanks bro ✌🏼
One trick I use and I realized that the self has had spiritual awakening for countless times. Over and over. Nothing new. Just simply remembering
So spot on, I recognize to have much work to do. Thank you..
My spiritual ego was massively caught out too! And especially because I've been using that Who Cares statement for a while myself, it was something that just came to me... and then Aaron said it and my ego was like: See!! I must be super tuned in if I got this same thing as Aaron! Lol"
I like this VIDEO. It helps to remind ourselves to stay centered and humble. Let me ask you a genuine, sincere question: How do you describe what you do on your channel? I ask because I learn and like to share. In the LAW OF ONE, RA says, when we learn we must share. That's what I try to do. I hesitate a lot but eventually I'm impelled from my inner voice to share.
it's important to know about this. Thank you very much
Thank you So much Aaron, yesterday night I had a nightmare and listening to you has grounded me back to my reality I AM, Bless you , you are a gift for Humanity from God
We need more sensible human beings like you on this planet. 🙏🏻💕💐✨
The "i" was upset, "i" got confused, the "i" throughout found it challenging at times to finish the video. Eventually, it become to clear, tears then began to flow. Afterwards we understood how spiritually immature the "i" had been for so long. ~In Lak'ech 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
🤯 thank you so much! This is a game changer!
Thanks, much love 🙏💗
Funny you posted this! I was listening to you the other day, and you were rapid firing all the truth I can so relate to but have no words for them. Then I thought to myself, “I wonder how Aaron think of himself after all that these brilliant things coming out of his mouth.” Haha! I love you, brother! Stay brilliant 🙏
@@AaronAbke Thank you for sharing this with us. This is also my latest discovery as well. It's not the be all or end all 🤷🏼 I'm thinking of just going on camera in a group or something just to get used to it, even if I'm not sure of the how or those limiting thoughts that creep in. There's so much I want to talk about sticking to one thing and keeping it simple is my goal 👍✨💫
@aaronabke
You must also surprise yourself too, huh?!? Then you remember, “who cares.”
Aaron you just shook my entire life path of the last 20 years... Is understanding something so well that becomes too clear to keep it for myself and sharing with those who may need it right then and there, an egoic event then?? Silvia from Italy paralized.
You always nail it!! I feel like I knew this but I could not have ever expressed it like you do. Thanks so much!
It's great you want to improve the world and make it better.
One of the best videos so far. Great job!
Thank you so much for this video Aaron!
The beauty of your words is that you give a lot of importance on the integration of knowledge i.e the application of it. Without out which it would remain or not remain in the storehouse of knowledge...Thank you, Aaron🙏❤
Another banger here Aaron! Great job
Thank you so much Brother.
Thank you, brother.
Thank you Aaron 😘
