- Self-awareness is power and freedom. For self-awareness has always been the key to a life defined by clarity, intent, and cohesion.
There is a path that one needs to follow in order to properly grasp what self-awareness really is and this path I endeavor to lay out today.

This video is a microcosm of my pursuit of self-awareness - it represents the vital need to confess my own unique experience and share it, in all its immediacy, with you. Hope you enjoyed it.
The way you worded this is synchronistic for me, I’ve been reflecting on Macrocosm/Microcosm a lot lately, and even other concepts in the video, very serendipitous ✨🙏

Thank you !
Thank you for sharing.
Very enjoyable, and interesting. Definite heart center response (truth is present). Self-knowledge is important. Maybe that should be one focus in public education. Thanks for sharing.
This is really quite lucidly brilliant. I search, almost entirely in vain, for the Others to have conversations contemplating things like this with, to this level, to this depth. Listening... I feel just a little less alone in this world.
Same here.
I feel a little less alone too when I listen to these videos.
Noticing weird and strange coincidences?
(Testing how far down the rabbit hole you’ve gone)
Wanna hear some crazy things about human perception
"Employers viewed school As a mean To teach Future employees The rules of punctuality, Following directions, Tolarance forma long hours of tedious Work And a minimal ability to write and read" True as hell
yep
Wow the frontal cortex is crucial. ur only learning to be an adult foreal after 25, then it takes time to develop a steady one while at the same time cleaning out the bad habits as well. This hit me hard cuz it explains alot being 30 right now.
Add on top how fragile and easily damaged the brain, including the frontal cortex, is. I know many people who’ve experienced traumatic brain injury & had their world and self completely transformed in an instant. Some regain function of varying degrees some do not. Frightening how so many people never know themselves then suffer TBI and if they are fortunate find themes right back at the beginning again.....where they can start a quest to gain self awareness or carry on the same....most often all of this is happening subconsciously....freaky subject
Groundbreaking stuff. I also had this realization and it justified a lot of my behaviors in my early 20s.
Agreed!
I recommend you look at the work of Joe Dispenza and Bruce Lipton, to understand fully the other part of this paradigm (i e, she school system).❤
@@dlloydy5356 the amount of personality shifts reported esp toward violence makes it (tbi) one of my biggest fears...
You can end up wasting lot of years if you don't get proper support in the initial years.
I can definitely relate to these stages. I have been feeling nihilistic lately (the belief that life is meaningless) and am glad you reminded me of just choosing to accept and do what you can for things within your control.(the serenity prayer) as Jordan Peterson would say is for sure "don't make things worse" which you can fall prey to if you get too nihilistic. always strive to make yourself better
Check out also my video on nihilism: th-cam.com/video/n4PXLr9IDIQ/w-d-xo.html
Try reading on Death and Dying by Ernest Becker. I think the hypothesis that we’ve been distracting ourselves since we have become aware we needed to start distracting ourselves was huge for me. The key is avoidance of despair and hopelessness and distractions today like consumerism, capitalism, feminism, socialism, communism, and even the issue today on gender allow people to distract themselves. I think this is why there is so much emotion on all sides of issues today also because we tie our value to these ever evolving things instead of a god and religion that stays relatively static over time. Once our emotions are toyed with our decisions and thought processes as humans become less linear and more erratic.
feelings of meaninglessness can on one hand cause depression, or on the other hand be a result of already existing depression.
last year i experienced a massive anxiety attack and mild depression because i was so fixiatet on meaning of life. it was only when i understood whats really going on - which was besically mental stress and exhaustion that caused feelings of meaninglessness - that i truly managed to fix that. i tried to fix emotions with cognitive thinking. only when i gave my nervous system the time calm down and recover, the sense of meaning came back. when your internal state is right, even laying in the grass starring at the clouds can be meaningful.

It's a crazy trip. Enjoy

Self awareness, self knowledge has been the pursuit of my whole life. You should read the book, Whole brain living by Jill Bolted Taylor, it is extremely enlightening about this process and how it takes place in the left and right hemispheres.
Thank you sister. I love you.
The U that's behind those eyes has never changed. From the moment you opened up your eyes and took your 1st breath there is an awareness in that body. The doing and the feeling is always happening and "you" are always at the center never changing.
U-centered entities
My new channel... TKS my brotha... keep up the good work!
You are amazing. Thank you , you got me teary eyed as you somehow have described the things I'm aware of but just can't ever find the words to describe to others. I feel human language is still so primitive to use for true communication. I've had brain damage and surgery in my front lobe and over time do to that and how I was raised, I had 'known' things but never found the words. I describe to others that my brain is like a computer, it processes things to fast to even have the time to explain to modern man communication. Thank you again ❤️
This was a nice exposé detailing the stages of your self-exploratory journey, Adrian.
The transparency of your process is commendable.
Beautifully articulated
@@metamorphosis_77 I appreciate that, Adrian. Thank you.
'KNOW THYSELF'
Being introduced to this is great, feels like i’m seeing this video at the right time.
I thank you and appriciate deeply the work you put into this. Amazing to find more humans with a deep interest in self-understanding and such.
Thank you for having embarching in this journey and wandering in this microcosm in the first place, Adrien. And you're in very well companies, as you can see.
This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your inner world.
Your lectures are some of the best I’ve heard. Really spot on. I’ve never come across someone who articulates these complex ideas so well. Really well done.
Thank you for providing such valuable information for free!
Very great video. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Amazing content! Thank you for helping to further humanity
Now imagine that most people didn’t have a goal anything like this. That should be concerning.
This comment should have more likes
You are a genius, would make a great leader🎉
Thanks for this video. Wow, this truly explains a lot, thank you for granting us a little more awareness
Glad to know we’re not alone in this ❤️
Thank you for being able to put what I do but haven't understood into words. This is very useful to help me scrutinize myself and understand others better.
What a wonderfully produced and written video. Great explanation of the process I and many others have gone through, I have a few people who I will be sending this to.
Happy to hear :)
Absolutely right, I've gone through these stages in multiple areas, the one that made me mad was human perception. Your right about the two groups as well, at first i was in despair and complained any time i could. I realized how un healthy i was getting and knew i needed change. That came with looking at the positives, there are many positives i never seen before. I am much more contempt and every time i learn something i realize how much i don't know. I do believe some things humans will never understand.
Loved the video man, you manager to pack in quite a lot of fascinating information and kept it fluff free. Great stuff Adrian, and great name!
excellent overview and summary with a useful process for others to follow. Thank you.
Clearly put together with thoughtfulness. So many with questions. So few like you. I've learned quite a bit from your videos over the past few years. Thank you ☯️🦋
So happy to hear ✨✨
Indeed
About Stage 4, I would like to add another solution to it inspired by another of your videos. "Pick your battles". Understanding when to analyze and how to filter information is one of the most useful tools we have as humans to be able to work with input data, get value from it and not get overwhelmed.
Note: I felt that maybe I have helped bring "Anti-fragility" to this video by a past comment. Maybe that's not the case and surely credit is something I usually don't chase. But I really wanted to share that the feeling of any small contribution on such a life-changing channel feels exciting and fulfilling. Thank you!
Awesome. This came to me the right time. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant. You've inspired me to start a philosophy channel of my own, hence the profile picture ;).
Best pick :)
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. Subscribed and shared.
Ever read up on stage theories? Spiral dynamics, ken Wilber’s integral theory and especially ego-development theory by cook-Geuter. These are all excellent and in-depth models on how psychological growth is achieved
This is gold. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing video! You put to words my journey as well. Thank you!
Excellent narration. Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
This video SHOULD blow up and spread like wildfire. Well done.
🔥🔥
Well that would be nice. Not holding my breath though, just look how popular wokeness is these days. You will become far more popular now as ever by telling people the lies they want to hear, just contrast Jimmy Carter's malaise speech with our last POTUS.
Powerful. Thank you.
Great video, I compared it to my own steps for awareness and it was great to have more to think about within my own process.
:)
This is 🔥content the sound designe is superb why i didn t know about this channel before!? keep it up ❤
I can attest to this, my self awareness started a few days after my 25th birthday.
same here
Wow... This video answered so many question I had. Great video.
Happy to hear :)
I enjoyed this video. Thank you for upload.

I absolutely LOVE your videos
Thankyou for your wise words🙏💜
Thank you for your videos.
Bravo on this video👏 you put so much into words that I couldn't really explain
That's my favorite video
This was a pleasure to listen to.
anyone who wonders what happened to their kids after they started school should watch this.
Amazing video!
Thank you
This is life changing , thank you so much

Wow like this video 👍
I really enjoyed that
The Frontal Cortex not fully developed until age 25. 🤔
Have to read more on the subject.
What it means for an average individual vs. a genius
I'm thinking of a variety of things of what this means.
Thanks for sharing. Take care, Adrian ❤️
good video, Thumbs up!
awesome visuals ! 🌀.|.🌀
good job, mate .. masterpiece 👑
Very nice.!
Thanks alot,I feel like I'm been going crazy lately ❤️🅿️🌍
Always come back to the present moment
Thanks
Are us humans doomed to be stuck in these 5 stages? along with a life full of distraction, I've been in the constant overanalytical mode for a while now and I've tried focusing on life and what is going on in my life outside of my mental chatter, but when I tried to focus on my life, the feelings and thoughts might've mitigated but they weren't gone. So I fell back down to "madness". My "madness" is that of anxiety.
This all brings me a sense of dread and anxiety. I want a way out, but I don't want to be suicidal as that truly affirms that I'm mad. I want to believe we can live life well without so much trouble. I want to go back to being able to watch silly TH-cam videos, chat with friends, and have a passion without thinking of it as all an distraction, meaningless, or anything else beyond what it is.
This video is great btw, I haven't found a video on TH-cam that articulates the "stages" of self-awareness so well. Keep uploading! 😊
It is very tricky. Anxiety is a byproduct of awareness but also a byproduct of a "badly" designed life. Mainly wrong expectations and wrong priorities. Look into that.
thank you. i wonder if theres something more deeper.
I would argue that power is not a part of the true equation... I'd say intelligence
❤ loved ur videos it’s what I like to see all my imagination
Power comes from knowing yourself, and knowledge isn't gained through learning something new. It's gained by getting rid of old outdated and unnecessary beliefs. And you can see self-awareness in the eyes. The non aware have nothing behind the eyes, just a blank look to the eyes.
blank
Like kids and dogs have. Blank wasn't a good word, maybe distracted would be better, but don't tell me that you can't look at a crazy person and not see it in the eyes. Everyone has subtle tell tale signs about their faces.
Dogs don’t have a blank look, btw if you’re aware. Neither to babies…
The real secrets to self awareness and how to awaken the true self are not easy to find. This guide explains it in simple terms. An eye opener for any spiritual development practitioner, the full breath by james Francis
Wow, I just discovered this guy. I think about the same things he thinks about
I became aware at the age of 35! Ever since I found consciousness it's been a very very VERY different experience.. Shit.. about a year ago today..
Heck yeah bud lsd helps alot.
@@fmone7878 haha once... When I was about 13
@@ObtuseHobo when I was 16 it was the best day of my life lol
@@ObtuseHobo damm 13? Did you experience alot of loops and introspective thoughts?😂
@@fmone7878 haha honestly no... Haha and as the years go on it's harder and harder to remember. What I remember the most is my senses were all rewired, like for example I would look at something and I could taste it or I would hear something and smell it . And plus the obvious visuals I can't even explain.
So difficult words used in this video, I need to google search so frequently for the meanings.. :D
But an amazing video tho!
Nice Profile Avatar - N. Tesla inspired You? Good video. Thanks for rising awareness;)
The highest understanding of the self is that there is no self, only a program written of social,physical and mental conditioning.
There is only awareness and awareness has no self.
@Charger Dave Great commend, much appreciated.
It's a deep and wide matter to go into, but I try to be firm and short to give you my perspective on your thoughts.
Well, awareness/consciousness is knowing and yes, man is thinking, which would be in line to his awareness of reality, which is the base for the perspective one holds.
There is the notion of self awareness and then we have the nature of awareness/consciousness itself. Though the physical self is only a construct of matter and thinking a process of mental nature, the self is only a receiver and sender of electro magnetic signals. We identify with the signal and think it's I, me, mine.
Knowing this does not make one automatically to a nihilist and turn existence into into an meaningless endeavour.
Being aware and self aware is different to the nature of awareness/God. God is not blind in a sense by not seeing, but blind in the sense of no interference with what is.
There are fully enlighten men and women who have realized that nature, but still do meaningful things in life if they want too.
Going off into different states of mind and realms of existens, like on DMT is quite meaningless if the experience doesn't have positive and transcending qualities to it, which can be applied to this realm of existens. Purposeless dwelling in blissed out spaces is meaningless, since one is still captured in ones mind. The real desolving into the nature of awareness/consciousness/God, can only happened at the moment of death.
People who do psychedelics and hallucinogenics can get glimpses to higher states of awareness, but are often not applyable to real life. If used correctly, this kind of plants can help solve personal problems, help Groth and understanding, but one should be careful to spread their euphoric ideas to the masses and try to force everyone else living accordingly.
Reason and logic are mental attributes to the thinking process and part of mental nature. If the nature of awareness/God knows already everything there is to know, there wouldn't be the need anymore to think logical or any other way.
I don't see the reasons but i found it here
I have never been there to that place where you don’t understand anything. I couldn’t relate to this video in that regard. However, I can imagine a time before universes coherently formed with spacetime loops. It sounds like that.
There is no way you were always fully aware of everything in your life
@@metamorphosis_77 You seem to not be aware. That I didn’t say or even imply that 🤔😂🤷♀️
@@spiralsun1 probably
I'm stuck in despair, can't move to acceptance. My blockage surrounds the trauma of losing my children, Joshua, Jared and Ayden.
I don't know how to move beyond this
I am the only one who thinks that this information is very valuable to people who are not really interested in this kind of stuff of self-knowledge?
Don’t get me wrong I’ need this stuff to but what i mean is the people that really need to hear it and acknowledge it just don’t do it or they’re not attracted to it ?
That's a sad reality indeed
Without knowing what I am looking for, can you recommend a book? Thanks for the video.
But I see you
Great video Adrian. Question: who is the animator for the animation that comes in at 14 seconds of this video? The figure of a man sitting and smoking. Please if you could forward me the name I would greatly appreciate it.
Maybe just maybe they thought you exactly what they needed to to get you to this point…would you be here if they didnt?! One could argue but i think it led you to where you are.
You and me are the same
I'm sure you have heard of it but it would make a great video topic.

Reply and ill show y'all the perception rabbit hole. Did you know theres two definable realities?
enlighten me
Please, here is a lost soul yearning for some advice. I currently have a year left in college and I am entering the stage of awareness. I've carried an over-analytical mode of thinking for some time and all the advice I get is to stop thinking and continue going through the motions of life. I am having a hard time finding meaning and motivation after realizing that who I am and where I am are both an illusion, and I have been measuring my worth and purpose based on the value I have in society. I can no longer unsee this so it's hard to continue playing my part since the world I knew is no longer there and I don't know who I am. If I don't know anything, how do i know which way to go or what to do with my life. I would appreciate any recommendations of books that have helped people in this journey or any form of advice,

Is self-awareness the original sin?
It is the only sin
@@metamorphosis_77 Yes, that's what I got from the serpent in the garden as well. Shame through self awareness. Not from the real creator. Genesis is rife with kinky sex with no judgement at all.
@@metamorphosis_77 What do you mean?
@@metamorphosis_77 "Food for thought" 🔥❤️
@@chinnaangel9534 I am just being a bit poetic. But truth is that sins, to the extent that they constitute a conscious choice, are, essentially, a byproduct of our awareness. Without awareness there are no sins, just unconscious actions.
