I embrace my flaws and improve, never live your life to other people’s expectations this will steal your joy and happiness... be true to yourself always
Samy stay strong, love yourself at every given opportunity however simple it seems just writing a gratitude journal!! I came out of 2 yrs of complete and all consuming hell several months ago. You have been chosen to do this because you are strong enough to clear the unconscious patterening of the collective, you will come to learn that it's no longer your crap your clearing from your energy field. You are powerful. Know your worthy. You are loved. You are very much protected xxx
I feel you 💜👍bin there,it’s coming back at hard Times !Think the Sun is always hidden behind the clouds,and never ever anything stays the same for long in Duality!
Dark night may be resistance....maybe you are just pushing up against a “blockage” on your path towards awakening/integration. Push dude push! ......betcha never heard that before ;) Actually be gentle with yourself. 🤗
I’ve been feeling unworthy, insecure, and remembering a lot of my trauma. I’ve been wanting to heal and I forgot about my spirituality. I forgot how calm I was. A co worker and I the other day and he reminded me about it. I found this video trying to find my spirit again and it made me realize I just need to accept and love my spirt again. Learn all over again how I deserve to love and grow with and into anything that’s positive
Didnt know of this dude til today and already have watched 7 of his videos. This guy knows about life mentally, physically, spiritually, celestially even omniversally!
It is always refreshing to find someone who is telling it like it is and who is doing their part to keeping it real rather than painting everything as "white light" lol
There is no person, system, religious group or other groups of people who are involved in creating the right way to be in living together that has been attractive to me..lam of the belief that loving kindness is always the way to be. We are all here in our uniqueness, lessons to learn, and learning how to treat ourselves and other people and the earth . l am a work in progress and so are we all. Being present in each precious moment of life and being able to be true to yourself and the energies of living with love for all life....threre is always a drama free energy, benefits the world, is a joyous experience of creativity, and contains the powers of generosity, compassion, peace, justice for all life, and not having to live with comparisons and competition for living. Just simply being aware of what you think, feel, and being present in your own life in your truth and your heart's knowing that love is a treasure and is everlasting. Love is free and available to us all at anytime and we all equally have the power to create our future with our love of being.

As I sat here having my own pity party, questioning my goodness, I came across this vid and it brought back a memory from my 'spiritual' journey. A reverend I once knew said, when a horse thinks of god would it not see itself as reference. Which would be on the basis of know thyself, that message has been since the beginning of infinity. I am thankful for the reminder.
This video was made four years ago, but it is such divine timing. Finding this page was life changing and healing for me in this time. There is so much content on spirituality on the internet, especially now in 2024. I have never felt so timelessly seen, validated or encouraged. This is the real deal, He is the real deal, and you can tell by him stating he himself is unenlightened. This guidance has allowed me to regain my motivation to continue on this path. With great awareness has come great shame.Thank you for this.
Thank you for the love. This was beautiful. We're all on the path surmounting our unique challenges and acknowledging and embracing our brokenness. Once we embrace them, we can transcend them.
I believe we are all enlightened. Truly. It is our rejection of the current moment and the clouding of ourselves in rejected and unhealed pain that we separate from our true being. Many mystic schools such as Zen carry this same teaching- that “enlightenment” is within us, that this inherent peace and happiness is of our true nature. It is simply a process of Being, of stillness, of presence that allows us to see what beauty we’ve always had, what beautiful beings we always were.
Thank you so much for this video. THIS was the exact reminder that I needed. I cry now. You reminded me that healing is more about integration. I looked at all my wounds, but looking at them and ACCEPTING them is a different thing. I had a massive outburst of rage that showed me parts of me that I don't accept... Things I thought I healed long ago..... Like neediness, attachment to approval of others, people pleasing... One can sit and observe. That's great. But actually accepting that rage, fear, grief - heartbreak, loss, anxiety, attachments,.... are a part of you, that they belong to you - this is the real process. As soon as we start honouring EVERY emotion - instead of just letting it pass.... I think this is the real union with self. Treating everything that arises with respect, gratitude and love.. Welcoming it. This sounds so super easy, but it is a huge task. Especially when you doubt your decisions, people around you think you are going crazy... But your heart knows the way. When this little gem of silence in your heart becomes your home, then you are able to welcome also the negative emotions. This is the practice.... And also: Being able to ask for help! This is a huge one. Don't be afraid to reach out! To family, friends, therapists or coaches... This can be a huge help. Happy ascension everyone!!🙏🏻💪😄
I really needed to hear this! I have been on my spiritual journey for around 4 years now and I honestly feel that I have recognised my shadow aspects (that’s been a difficult road to travel 😬) and I am truthful about these traits with those close to me whom I love and trust. However, although I can see these negatives parts and behaviours, I definitely have not truly accepted nor found peace with them, hence I am always judging myself and suffering. I loved this video, it was SO helpful. I thank you 🙏🌸🌈
Let me tell you how I accepted myself As Is. no preconditions when I was absolutely living in an unacceptable drug filled life. There’s a flip I stumbled on. Accept yourself just as you are now. You need not get “better” to accept All if you. The balking that you feel is confusing acceptance with Approval. No. No approve. Accept the unacceptable parts of you. Not approve. Accept is agreeing w reality that it there. Like the unlikable parts. Hug and send kindness to the ugly vile parts of you. Love the unlovable parts of you. Once you own these parts you turn them over to the Holy Spirit for correction. AlwYs resisting these secrets dark parts of us we Pretend them away. They come back. We act and pretend them away. We confused approving of these dark things with saying they’re fine. It’s true we have this shadow. We can’t give it up to the Holy Spirit unless we OWN IT. pretending it away don’t work. Plus. Do I not destroy my enemy by making him my friend.
I've been thinking about this. On my spiritual journey I've noticed that over the past year I've had an attitude that I have never known before. I've struggled with wondering why I have feelings that seem very counter to others - they seem to be so loving and peaceful and the ideal. I often get angry, even feeling like I cannot stand someone or something. For about a year I've had problems with being envious of people. This wasn't just a small feeling, but truly feeling envious - and this is something I've NEVER felt before. I always pretty much considered myself excited for others. It astounded me so much I thought I was a different person who just was losing it. But what I came to realize is that the more I practiced going deeper in my spiritual jouney the more I recognize that it it likely an opening and even a purge, allowing me to see that deep down (and also at the surface), I have these feelings and characteristics that I need to acknowledge in order to be aware of them and work through them. It has been a challenge but I'm CERTAIN that is what's going on.

You are so Beautiful Nada 💗 I love your energy. I love your gentleness, your simplicity, your humility. Thank you for sharing yourself, your energy, your wisdom 🙏
I really get a lot out of your videos. I had a minor epiphany during this one. Acceptance equals awareness, awareness equals shining light. I’ve been trying to live ‘better’ by avoiding and suppressing and trying to walk a straight line. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
Thank you for your words here. After listening, I am actually drawn to meditation. For many of the self talk reasons you spoke of here I had lost my ability to meditate for several years. I feel a softness and acceptance in my heart in place of darkness, fear and anxiety. A simple acceptance is really all that is needed. I believe I can do that. Blessings
We are all Spiritual beings. All paths are spiritual. Stop living in the land of ideals and labels. It only separates you from You. You are master of You. We are all awake. We came here, were born here awake. Popular knowledge will send you in endless circles that go nowhere. The only thing we need to do is focus on ourselves and expanding our awareness of ourselves. Be here, now. Attachments to everything else will fall away when we connect to ourselves in a deep way. And no, you don't have to claim what isn't truly yours. Let it go and it will go. The one thing we have a hard time achieving is simply being and let it be, which is the state of everything. I Am enlightened, and not the idealistic enlightenment that others believe. And wow! To hear someone say that spiritual people judge more, hmm. Since when do we go around the world taking census on 8 billion other people and comparing them? We do what we are taught, conditioned, or manipulated into doing. I Am light. I Am not limited to this limited body. We are change itself and we don't allow this to happen without resistance...and so we suffer. Another is believing we are not awake, enlightened, or perfect as well are. It's OK to not use the words others use to define our spiritual path. I don't have to practice being what I truly am. I just stopped being what the world told me I am. I Am Spirit.
I see I go to your channel when I feel I need to hear something that brings me back into alignment. With your wisdom and comfortable voice in a tempo that feels so soothing to me, I feel supported to meet myself again. ❤ Grateful ❤
The most spiritual and at one I have ever felt with myself was when I became very sick, and needed a lot of serious surgery. I was in and out of hospital for over three years. It was a very difficult time. After I recovered I was a different person. It was the worst and yet the best time for me. I had such gratitude for every day. Everything just seemed better. I was really happy. I mean, really happy. Not just happy, but more content and not wanting. I was so broke, had a crap job, no girlfriend... I didn't care one bit. Now years later that feeling has not lasted. Life and everyday troubles has clouded that lovely feeling I once had of gratitude and acceptance. But, I still remember and I am going to try and find it again. It was a wonderful time for me. Having nothing, but honestly feeling like having everything. Back then I believed that being thankful was the secret to true happiness. I still feel this way. Thank you for posting your content. I relate so much. I greatly appreciate your modest and thoughtful words . ❤️
21:21 If we don’t bring awareness to a thing that we feel anxiety or misery over then the thing remains “fused” together, like a ball of wire where we can’t find the ends. It’s just a ball of confusion. There’s no way to dissolve it or resolve it or flush it without awareness, without attention, without looking at it as it is. Yes, what we resist, persists. Thank you for this very helpful talk. If I could ‘Like’ it 10 times I would.
once somewhere I learned that life was all about spiritual growth, and everyone has challenges. But that its the reason were all here. Over lifetimes we grow. True Enlightened beings have no need to repeat this phase. I want you to know I really appreciate your perspective, and that the content resonates.
I have always found the spiritual community to be quasi cultish with high unattainable expectations and an unspoken reign or hierarchy or snobbery!! The adulation of the young seekers is unhealthy and detrimental to the goal. It is just another road along the human experience with all the same pitfalls and successes. I have found the question to refining the journey is to ask what the underlying need is for the spiritual journey. I have found that dealing with the human challenges openly and honestly becomes or results in the journey becoming spiritual. Not the other way around. Thank you so much for the forum in which I can rant and release and not feel alone with my thoughts.
I rarely leave comments but I feel I need to do so to support this video. I saw people who label themselves as ‘spiritual’ in fact can sometimes have stronger ego. And they have trouble to even recognise it, and often defend when people point it out.
This was powerful for me. This helped me understand acceptance more deeply and made me realize I wasn't fully accepting myself even though I thought I was.
My family & friends always tell me you were a better person before. They constantly asking me if I'm mentally ill. I told them I just got sick of keeping up with the pretence and could no longer wear that mask which was hiding the real me away.
"I don't know if you've noticed but spiritual people are sometimes the most judgmental". I choked on my coffee at the profundity of this statement. Then laughed so much at myself and others. I needed to hear this. So true. Thank you.
This is such an important topic, I can not stress that enough! All those pseudo-spiritual people should watch this. Unfortunately they are often the ones that discredit the whole community and deter new people from even thinking about starting their own spiritual path. Thank you for bringing that up Nada, much appreciated!
This modern world we accept and ignore the spirtal side of our inner being. We forget we are spirtal being. You and others people. I started accept myself it so true
@@dumalun8388 its the notion that there are not just good or bad people in this world. We all have two sides a good side and a bad side. Through shadow work we explore our repressed selves! The benefits of shadow work is to accept ourselves fully for who we are, including the good and the bad. When the shadow is ignored the results usually consists of jealously rage and any other undesirable behaviors.
Just found your channel and i absolutely love your videos. You are so genuine and yourself with your voice in itself being so comforting. Loving what you've been potting out mate. ❤️
I am really grateful for the effort you make to maintain this channel. You have helped me become aware of a lot of issues hiding in the shadows. God bless.
I wish I was one of your friends.. You seem to struggle with interpersonal connection a lot. I do too. Yet you have this channel, so you know your power and it's potential. 1. Some of your outfits are like deep earth fashion fab! 2. The freedom of letting the hair do it own thing! I know still material but like freeing and visually so. 3. Meditation is a mind party with the divine, beyond the intellect etc. inexpressible in words alone.I totally admire and respect you. You have become the man that you want others to seeish like.subscribe.
Thank you for this... it's hard to accept myself sometimes, but you are absolutely right. There are a lot of things about myself that I dislike and by accepting them, I'm accepting that they are a part of me and then I feel a barage of judgement towards me. I hope one day sooner than later I will be accepting of who I am flaws and all...
What you're saying is very Zen. We never deny what we are feeling and craving. It's all fine. You must accept what you are (even though there is no "I" or "you" in ultimate reality). You must know "you" to make progress in spirituality. If you want to be enlightened in a Buddhist or Yogi sense, you must wake up to know "you". Never push away or cling - just let it all be. It is only knowing thyself that one can lose the ego, the illusion of "I". So, yes, you're right about self-acceptance, dear friend. Bravo! It is the truth. It is all a process. You're beautiful. We need to stop being ashamed of what we are: we are what we are -- and that is all fine in the current moment. Shame has no place on the path to enlightenment. Morality will follow self-acceptance. It all happens beautifully without effort. Clinging stops; aversions stop -- and clear-seeing begins. May you fulfill your deepest wish for happiness. Peace and enlightenment.
I've had a spiritual backsliding as I hit the "real world." My peaceful, innocent boy-self has transformed into an unsure, disorganized guy-self. I think I need this video the most... as I research more into spirituality, I seem to want to put on that facade of enlightenment. But you are right... accepting those problems seem like the best way to start.
Your voice is so calm and gentle and the light music is all just perfect. Thankyou so much for sharing your peace. I am in desperate need of it right now. I go to sleep listening to your list of mixes. 🙏 be blessed 😌
I ❤️ that music in the intro. Great video 👍😇 We all have to accept that no one is perfect, including ourselves. Anything praiseworthy is deserving of admiration in my opinion
I don't see people that are non spiritual, less than another human being. I just like to hope that some people can except themselves as God made them and take care of themselves in every aspect. Of course no one is perfect, but we can overlook our imperfections and try to see the positive in ourselves as well as others. Its hard sometimes the world can be so harsh. That's why I love my quiet solitude and be at peace awhile. 💚🙏🙏🙏
This was the insight I had today after feeling judged by watching a spiritual 'master' video . And then came across this video. I feel SO much better now 🤣 Thnx for confirming, bless you! 🙏
i want to share an Experience i had,,, i visited this one small church along time ago and i had a Spiritual Experience, this Spiritual Experience was so Powerful that my body began to shake and tremble.. i was shaking.. and i felt Gods Glory fall upon me and i Experienced a Peace which transends all understanding.. i cant explain IT with human words. And i felt very Light and Floaty and i thought i was going to float off the floor as i went up to take Communion. i tried to make other Spiritual Paths work and ive searched for God in many Religions and was even studying sufism and Islam.. i tired to make these paths word but it wasnt for me i guess... i also had a vision once and in The Vision i saw a cross that was outlined with a serene light dark blue lights outlining the cross and i heard A Voice call me by my name! But check this, after that vision i keep on seeing symbols of blue crossess everywhere i go.. symbolism!! Anywho i was searching for a long time to find God only to "Realize" that i was Searching for Something that was never lost but was with me the whole time. a Shocking Discovery which changed my outlook on life.
I am listening to this while doing my math homework because it calms me down and also makes me feel better about becoming more and more alone in my spiritual awakening. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. It helps more than you know.
this is such a beautiful and necessary video. especially as i feel in the online community there is this ongoing tendency to idealise qualities that we categorise as 'spiritual' a lot. thank you for your wisdom.
I came across a video of yours a week or so ago and since then I’ve been hooked and look forward to watching as much as I can several times a day to get perspective on different topics; your insight, knowledge and opinions are amazing. Thank you 🙏🏼.
You always seem to put into words what I think and feel but can't quite articulate myself. I really appreciate your very loving approach to teaching. It's great for someone like me who tends to be very self critical and a perfectionist.
Thank you for words. It gives a soothing sense of feelings. I have been in so much denial ,guilt and it gives sense of relief and hope that one day I will be successfully able to overcome my illusions and Ego and be my authentic self.
The path from moment awareness to being comfortable in being conscious is a one and rocky one! It has been years since I started to question the fabric of reality and just now I am coming to my senses in how to live alongside this awareness! Although it was hard, I am grateful that everything happened in divine timing. I wish you nothing bit love and positivity on your journey!
i have no anxiety , my mind is super charged . depression from time to time yes . burden of knowledge carry around and empathy just gets to you sometimes
Good luck to everyone on their spiritual journey!
Thank you 🌺
Goodluck to you too
To you as well.
Thanks

Hall speaks "in order to learn to sing our best is not to force ourselves which damages the voice but rather to reduce effort, same thing in life."
You are so Beautiful Nada 💗 I love your energy. I love your gentleness, your simplicity, your humility. Thank you for sharing yourself, your energy, your wisdom 🙏
I really get a lot out of your videos. I had a minor epiphany during this one. Acceptance equals awareness, awareness equals shining light. I’ve been trying to live ‘better’ by avoiding and suppressing and trying to walk a straight line. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
Thank you for your words here. After listening, I am actually drawn to meditation. For many of the self talk reasons you spoke of here I had lost my ability to meditate for several years. I feel a softness and acceptance in my heart in place of darkness, fear and anxiety. A simple acceptance is really all that is needed. I believe I can do that. Blessings
We are all Spiritual beings. All paths are spiritual. Stop living in the land of ideals and labels. It only separates you from You. You are master of You. We are all awake. We came here, were born here awake. Popular knowledge will send you in endless circles that go nowhere. The only thing we need to do is focus on ourselves and expanding our awareness of ourselves. Be here, now. Attachments to everything else will fall away when we connect to ourselves in a deep way. And no, you don't have to claim what isn't truly yours. Let it go and it will go. The one thing we have a hard time achieving is simply being and let it be, which is the state of everything. I Am enlightened, and not the idealistic enlightenment that others believe. And wow! To hear someone say that spiritual people judge more, hmm. Since when do we go around the world taking census on 8 billion other people and comparing them? We do what we are taught, conditioned, or manipulated into doing. I Am light. I Am not limited to this limited body. We are change itself and we don't allow this to happen without resistance...and so we suffer. Another is believing we are not awake, enlightened, or perfect as well are. It's OK to not use the words others use to define our spiritual path. I don't have to practice being what I truly am. I just stopped being what the world told me I am. I Am Spirit.
I see I go to your channel when I feel I need to hear something that brings me back into alignment. With your wisdom and comfortable voice in a tempo that feels so soothing to me, I feel supported to meet myself again.

The most spiritual and at one I have ever felt with myself was when I became very sick, and needed a lot of serious surgery. I was in and out of hospital for over three years. It was a very difficult time.
After I recovered I was a different person. It was the worst and yet the best time for me. I had such gratitude for every day. Everything just seemed better. I was really happy. I mean, really happy. Not just happy, but more content and not wanting. I was so broke, had a crap job, no girlfriend... I didn't care one bit.
Now years later that feeling has not lasted. Life and everyday troubles has clouded that lovely feeling I once had of gratitude and acceptance. But, I still remember and I am going to try and find it again. It was a wonderful time for me. Having nothing, but honestly feeling like having everything. Back then I believed that being thankful was the secret to true happiness. I still feel this way.
Thank you for posting your content. I relate so much. I greatly appreciate your modest and thoughtful words . ❤️
This one video is that one we need to hear over and over again, 2wc, today!!! Waking up!!
21:21 If we don’t bring awareness to a thing that we feel anxiety or misery over then the thing remains “fused” together, like a ball of wire where we can’t find the ends. It’s just a ball of confusion. There’s no way to dissolve it or resolve it or flush it without awareness, without attention, without looking at it as it is. Yes, what we resist, persists.
Thank you for this very helpful talk. If I could ‘Like’ it 10 times I would.
once somewhere I learned that life was all about spiritual growth, and everyone has challenges. But that its the reason were all here. Over lifetimes we grow. True Enlightened beings have no need to repeat this phase. I want you to know I really appreciate your perspective, and that the content resonates.
You are a beautiful, peaceful soul❤️🙏❤️So grateful to have found your channel!!!
I have always found the spiritual community to be quasi cultish with high unattainable expectations and an unspoken reign or hierarchy or snobbery!! The adulation of the young seekers is unhealthy and detrimental to the goal. It is just another road along the human experience with all the same pitfalls and successes. I have found the question to refining the journey is to ask what the underlying need is for the spiritual journey. I have found that dealing with the human challenges openly and honestly becomes or results in the journey becoming spiritual. Not the other way around. Thank you so much for the forum in which I can rant and release and not feel alone with my thoughts.
I love what this guy has shown me... I also believe this TH-cam audiobook will help."The power of awareness"
I rarely leave comments but I feel I need to do so to support this video. I saw people who label themselves as ‘spiritual’ in fact can sometimes have stronger ego. And they have trouble to even recognise it, and often defend when people point it out.
This was powerful for me. This helped me understand acceptance more deeply and made me realize I wasn't fully accepting myself even though I thought I was.
My family & friends always tell me you were a better person before. They constantly asking me if I'm mentally ill. I told them I just got sick of keeping up with the pretence and could no longer wear that mask which was hiding the real me away.
"I don't know if you've noticed but spiritual people are sometimes the most judgmental". I choked on my coffee at the profundity of this statement. Then laughed so much at myself and others. I needed to hear this. So true. Thank you.
This is such an important topic, I can not stress that enough! All those pseudo-spiritual people should watch this. Unfortunately they are often the ones that discredit the whole community and deter new people from even thinking about starting their own spiritual path.
Thank you for bringing that up Nada, much appreciated!
Maby you one off those people!
Its so refreshing...acceptance....I don't think of my self as anything
Blessed to find a friend in your insights. I feel so encouraged. Thank you. God bless.
Dear Sir ! Just listening to you , is a meditation in itself ., My humble Pranams 🙏🙏🙏
truth and wisdom is beauty , thank you for sharing truth.. mauri ora
thank you thankyou namaste
This modern world we accept and ignore the spirtal side of our inner being. We forget we are spirtal being. You and others people. I started accept myself it so true
An honest man who has learnt from the inside out. 'And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free'.
Thats shadow work! I swear the universe gives me exactly what I need when I need it. I'm glad this video was suggested to me.
Whats shadow work?
@@dumalun8388 its the notion that there are not just good or bad people in this world. We all have two sides a good side and a bad side. Through shadow work we explore our repressed selves! The benefits of shadow work is to accept ourselves fully for who we are, including the good and the bad. When the shadow is ignored the results usually consists of jealously rage and any other undesirable behaviors.
I have felt everything you have said in this video thank you brother ❤
Just found your channel and i absolutely love your videos. You are so genuine and yourself with your voice in itself being so comforting. Loving what you've been potting out mate. ❤️
Putting*
So much depth in your words! Thank you so much for this genuine share ❤
My soul is happy we entangled. Thank you.
I believe we are not actually suppose to give up the ego, but get to know it, become friends with it, and teach it spirit.
Too good! The inner child' is always the compass...
Thank you so much!
This man is thruth !!! Thank you sun of man.
Thank you very much! Glad I found this amazing channel!!
You're awesome I'm so glad I found you thank you for this channel thank you for you and for helping all of us
Very clear, deep seeing. If you are not enlightened you are very close to it. Namaste,🙏😘
I am really grateful for the effort you make to maintain this channel. You have helped me become aware of a lot of issues hiding in the shadows. God bless.
I wish I was one of your friends.. You seem to struggle with interpersonal connection a lot. I do too. Yet you have this channel, so you know your power and it's potential. 1. Some of your outfits are like deep earth fashion fab! 2. The freedom of letting the hair do it own thing! I know still material but like freeing and visually so. 3. Meditation is a mind party with the divine, beyond the intellect etc. inexpressible in words alone.I totally admire and respect you. You have become the man that you want others to seeish like.subscribe.
These insights bring us closer to enlightenment 🌟
Thank you, i needed this. Namaste. ❤🙏
Thank you for this... it's hard to accept myself sometimes, but you are absolutely right. There are a lot of things about myself that I dislike and by accepting them, I'm accepting that they are a part of me and then I feel a barage of judgement towards me. I hope one day sooner than later I will be accepting of who I am flaws and all...
I believe in you!
@@AwakenInsight Thank you!
@@AwakenInsight These words....... First time in my life I felt physically hopeful. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Really l started to love myself. I'm as a humanity can think.
This is a great potential 💜
I recently started listening to you and your healing words. Thank you very much!
I just stumbled into your work. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Namaste🙏
I’m so grateful to have found you!! Thank you for your knowledge, insight and kindness!😊❣️
What you're saying is very Zen. We never deny what we are feeling and craving. It's all fine. You must accept what you are (even though there is no "I" or "you" in ultimate reality). You must know "you" to make progress in spirituality. If you want to be enlightened in a Buddhist or Yogi sense, you must wake up to know "you". Never push away or cling - just let it all be. It is only knowing thyself that one can lose the ego, the illusion of "I". So, yes, you're right about self-acceptance, dear friend. Bravo! It is the truth. It is all a process. You're beautiful. We need to stop being ashamed of what we are: we are what we are -- and that is all fine in the current moment. Shame has no place on the path to enlightenment. Morality will follow self-acceptance. It all happens beautifully without effort. Clinging stops; aversions stop -- and clear-seeing begins.
May you fulfill your deepest wish for happiness.
Peace and enlightenment.
Beautifully said! I needed this message, and it was perfect that it popped up in my feed! ❤
I've had a spiritual backsliding as I hit the "real world." My peaceful, innocent boy-self has transformed into an unsure, disorganized guy-self. I think I need this video the most... as I research more into spirituality, I seem to want to put on that facade of enlightenment. But you are right... accepting those problems seem like the best way to start.
Your voice is so calm and gentle and the light music is all just perfect. Thankyou so much for sharing your peace. I am in desperate need of it right now. I go to sleep listening to your list of mixes. 🙏 be blessed 😌
I ❤️ that music in the intro. Great video 👍😇 We all have to accept that no one is perfect, including ourselves. Anything praiseworthy is deserving of admiration in my opinion
I want to hug this man
I appreciate this conversation!
I don't see people that are non spiritual, less than another human being.
I just like to hope that some people can except themselves as God made them and take care of themselves in every aspect. Of course no one is perfect, but we can overlook our imperfections and try to see the positive in ourselves as well as others. Its hard sometimes the world can be so harsh.
That's why I love my quiet solitude and be at peace awhile. 💚🙏🙏🙏
This was the insight I had today after feeling judged by watching a spiritual 'master' video . And then came across this video. I feel SO much better now 🤣 Thnx for confirming, bless you! 🙏
@@sterlingpaul3004 Love that! 😀
i want to share an Experience i had,,, i visited this one small church along time ago and i had a Spiritual Experience, this Spiritual Experience was so Powerful that my body began to shake and tremble.. i was shaking.. and i felt Gods Glory fall upon me and i Experienced a Peace which transends all understanding.. i cant explain IT with human words. And i felt very Light and Floaty and i thought i was going to float off the floor as i went up to take Communion. i tried to make other Spiritual Paths work and ive searched for God in many Religions and was even studying sufism and Islam.. i tired to make these paths word but it wasnt for me i guess... i also had a vision once and in The Vision i saw a cross that was outlined with a serene light dark blue lights outlining the cross and i heard A Voice call me by my name! But check this, after that vision i keep on seeing symbols of blue crossess everywhere i go.. symbolism!! Anywho i was searching for a long time to find God only to "Realize" that i was Searching for Something that was never lost but was with me the whole time. a Shocking Discovery which changed my outlook on life.
You must stand in your shadow to know where your light is 🧘🦋🧘
What we resist, persists. So true
My therapist said it would be a good idea to look up Self Acceptance. This was a good one for me today. Thank you!
I am listening to this while doing my math homework because it calms me down and also makes me feel better about becoming more and more alone in my spiritual awakening. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. It helps more than you know.
this is such a beautiful and necessary video. especially as i feel in the online community there is this ongoing tendency to idealise qualities that we categorise as 'spiritual' a lot. thank you for your wisdom.
I came across a video of yours a week or so ago and since then I’ve been hooked and look forward to watching as much as I can several times a day to get perspective on different topics; your insight, knowledge and opinions are amazing. Thank you 🙏🏼.
"acknowledge and embrace ourselves"
You are amazing ! God bless you! I watch all your videos. Thank you 🙏 for helping the world 🌎. Tons of love 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 from New York. 😘😘😘😘
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou ❤️
You always seem to put into words what I think and feel but can't quite articulate myself. I really appreciate your very loving approach to teaching. It's great for someone like me who tends to be very self critical and a perfectionist.
Thank you for words. It gives a soothing sense of feelings. I have been in so much denial ,guilt and it gives sense of relief and hope that one day I will be successfully able to overcome my illusions and Ego and be my authentic self.
The path from moment awareness to being comfortable in being conscious is a one and rocky one! It has been years since I started to question the fabric of reality and just now I am coming to my senses in how to live alongside this awareness! Although it was hard, I am grateful that everything happened in divine timing.
I wish you nothing bit love and positivity on your journey!
i have no anxiety , my mind is super charged . depression from time to time yes . burden of knowledge carry around and empathy just gets to you sometimes
