You mentioned the Witness in a previous video and it resonated with me. At that time I felt anxiety that was very unpleasant, but after learning about the Witness, I asked myself 'who is feeling this?' and saw it was my mind behaving like a frightened chimp and thinking: 'something terrible is about to happen', which made the feelings worse. I found myself watching this spiral without getting involved (your idea), and it just withered in the light. Now when I feel these uncomfortable feeling, I 'look' at them and see them for what they are. And nothing terrible happens. I used to take Diazepam to quiet my anxiety down, but now I just watch the performance. I had that anxiety for 6 years, but it withered in...I don't really know because it wasn't important anymore. I like this Waking Up and am looking forward to it becoming even more experiential then intellectual. Oh, I forgot to say...thank you, Ascendor. You wanted to do good, and man, you're doing it.❤
What you’re telling us is that we need to embrace total acceptance. Because every time we’re not in acceptance we are trying to control things which leads directly to suffering.
Giving attention to the happiness, instead of unnecessarily and counter-productively fighting unhappiness which, as you said, is not even a problem when seen from the happiness. Huge thanks for clarifying this !
Hi Ascendor, a few months ago you mentioned in a video just go back and live your life. I believe you also said that for me as I have been "trying" way too hard for many years but I can feel that it is actually creating a small tension when being present. (because i need to stay present at all costs) But I have stopped everything (basically trying to stay present most of the day since i have time and in between read spiritual books) but that seems like I'm waiting for a future moment to become enlightened which will keep pushing it further down the line. So I know that whatever needs to happen will happen and i do believe that I should just relax and live my life but in the back of my head there's this voice saying that's wrong as well since it is waiting for future enlightenment which will never come. A tarot reader had told me that I would have a big breakthrough (sounded like realisation) last August but I believe that didn't happen because I had this date and was waiting for it. Please help with this. Thank you.
Thank you for this. I’m currently struggling with how to reconcile finding equanimity with current “political” disorder. It feels like complacency in 1930s Germany. I want to find peace with what is but it feels irresponsible and callous. This feels like my biggest challenge.
I am feeling the same way I remind myself every day I am a sovereign free being and will never comply with anything that is not for our highest good Best wishes from Australia ❤
The political action we take as individuals is very limited in its scope of how we affect change, whatever we believe in. It's not callous to see that it is outside of your control and just focus on your own peace. IMO, if there's something that would settle the restlessness in the world, it would come about by a revolution on the individual level.
@@austinlittle1638 Thank you. I’m trying to move toward this message because it feels like I know this. But then I imagine all the “unaffected” people who minded their own business and looked away during the rise of Hitler and deep down I hold them responsible. I still don’t quite know how to reconcile the truth of “i’ve already accepted what is” and the notion of manifestation.
I work a job wear I interact will hundreds of people every day and sometimes their low frequency/bad energy hangs on me. Is there something extra I can do to help with this?
Watching this and trying to understand vs watching this relaxed and just accepting
😂😂😂 me tooo

I have read all your paragraph until I read a tarot reader. I just stopped reading. Hope you got my point.
Great Job !
Thank you from Germany

Can I suggest you to watch videos about "non duality"? It helped me about something similar. I'm from Brazil, Sorry my english. Hope we all wake UP! ❤
@@NattyBuhthank you! I’m “all in” on non duality (still conceptually without direct experience). I hope we all wake up too! ❤
I am feeling the same way
I remind myself every day I am a sovereign free being and will never comply with anything that is not for our highest good Best wishes from Australia ❤

Thank you so much❤❤❤
always insightful :) ..thank you
Straight forward what you say.
So much appreciated, just a big thank you.😮
I think abrahamic world-view reflects humanity, not the other way around
I'm happy anyway, what happens is an add-on
❤️
If I could like a video more than once…
👍🏻
When your emoji for life becomes: 🤷♂️

Maybe there are no chakras
So hard to understand. I think I'm just gonna go back to sleep
Is it just me who doesn’t understand it at all? It seems like some people are just receptive to the message.
