I've been watching you since you taught me that thoughts are just simply just thoughts. You have put my mental game on a very high lvl. changed my mental state for the best. you always been my mental doctor that got me through college and now masters. and i am forever grateful for helping my see life differently. i have a lot more gratitude in all things because of you. Thank you So much Noah.
Aww you're so welcome Robby! That's amazing to hear. It means a lot to me that I could be so helpful for you :)
I needed someone to tell me this.
I’ve survived so many unrelenting traumatic stressful events for many years to the point that I find a certain level of apathy is my happy place. But I’ve felt SO guilty for just not caring about details, other people’s opinions of me, conflicts, world events, other people’s problems, but I just…don’t care.
Thank you. You truly are a Godsend, Noah.
I hear you Jessica. I made this video precisely to support you to feel this kind of relief. It's okay for you to just take care of yourself.
@@NoahElkrief Thank you so much; I’m immensely grateful and I have been feeling a lot better since seeing the video. Enjoy your weekend 🤍
Noah, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I started my day feeling that feeling in my stomach ( all too familiar feeling) that let me know that I was depressed. When I came on you tube and seen " instant relief from depression" or something like that, I clicked on it kinda as a " yeah right 😒" " instant relief".. Lol, But By the time I was done the video, that sad feeling that I was sure I was stuck with for the day at least, was GONE. I couldn't and still can't believe that it was as simple as flicking a switch of perception. Now I'm on my 7th Noah video and you are amazing brother. Please don't ever stop your work. You are making a difference in this existence. Thank you thank you thank you!
I do care about many issues but my circumstances don't always provide the opportunities to act on it or engage about it and then there are definitely times of depletion where it feels like I have no resources for thinking about or working on any of it. Your videos powerfully remind me what the unconditional love of God really looks like when we give it to ourselves and each other.
I want to thank you. Every video of yours leaves me feeling uplifted. Thank you for all you do.
That's really wonderful to hear Amy :) You're welcome!
I really loved this video Noah. This answered my question about my religion questions which is a touchy subject lol. I'm such a non conformist and value freedom above all else. But I wasn't taught in childhood that I should be valued for who I am and not what I do. So because I wasn't individuated as a child. My indentity was very disorganised which made me seek validation outside of self. Co dependancy essentially. I'm very happy how far I've come to find my own authentic sense of self. To introduce myself slowly to who I really am. I appreciate you and your knowledge. You've helped very much.
Thanks for sharing with me Missy. I hear you. It's amazing that you're getting in touch with your authentic self! I'm happy to be a part of it :)
Lovely and timely message, Noah! ♥️🙏

A kind of practical application of “non dual” thinking can be a really helpful way to reframe all those dualistic ideas of good and bad we can end up using to shame ourselves (and others).
:)
I love your videos, Noah. Thank you 💯🙏❤️
You're welcome ramsfan!
Thank you for this video I feel that I lack empathy sometimes when I don’t mean too
You're welcome. Sometimes it's because our unique life experiences don't match with empathy towards a particular situation, and sometimes it's because we have some pain that is blocking access to our heart. Either way, it's okay. You are lovable as you are.
Wisdom beyond your years! ❤️ thanx xxx
:)
Needed this today Noah,,,as always thank you so much for your acknowledgement.
"I don't know why? I just don't".
I've been feeling that and feeling"wrong for it"🙏
You're very welcome Lee :)
Thanks Krief. I feel like this is the real truth.
While I can't claim that it is the truth. Love and acceptance at least supports each human to follow their own truth.
Thank you so much! Needed to hear this!
You're welcome Meaghan. Glad it helped.
You are amazing , thanks a lot
Thanks Noah. What a great way to look at it. I like it 😊

Sad part is when you go out of your way to be there for friends or new aquantances, listening to their grief, assisting them. And they are conveniently or naturally not around when they are busy when you need a friend to lean on. We live in a selfish world. I used to think that there are people who care, who genuinely love and empathize. But I'm now certain there aren't any.
I hear you Wendy.
Thank you, my friend.
You're welcome, my friend :)
Very beautiful and helpful talk 🙏🏼
:) Glad it helped Andi
Noah Elkrief: this video is SOOO IMPORTANT for me!

I’ve got your book and in Audio book as well for every-time you’ve help me I wish I could give you a tip of kindness from my heart you deserve love just as much as you give us love thank you so much 😊 I really appreciate you doing this for free for us
:) You're welcome Fubu. I'm happy to do it
The less I care, the more free I feel to be honest.
:) yay
I am watching your videos for years now. Every year I feel like your appearance is getting closer to how we picture Jesus 🙏🏼

Happiness or peace is at the center of what we are. It's fundamental, primary, perfect. The ego can never know peace because it was never real. It's just a mirage.

Hi there! Question:Eating meat makes me emotionally sick but I need it and sometimes I do enjoy it. Ideas on how we can we get over or get comfortable with living against our own morals and core values?
Love your videos, thanks!
I probably already know this. How do you address the emotions when being authentic make others upset angry because I’m not agreeable is it better to be fake and agreeable to make people happy or be real to them and face the possibility that they won’t like me because I don’t care and it not my passion like you said here. I get told a lot that I’m too honest too real with people my wife tells me your too insensitive toward people and there imposing ideas and passions that make me feel bad 😞 I want to be loveable no matter what. Joking 🙃 to them when I take things they say lightly they do get offended it so hard to be me and at times I go into my shell and become an introvert and dance around people when I have to listen and talk to them so to not offend which never works lol 😂
I hear you. Ideally, you surround yourself with people who love your authentic way of being. But, if that doesn't seem like an option, then you have to trust your intuition of whether it feels better to suppress part of yourself to be liked, or be authentic and disliked.
I feel there is a pressure to care about these issues. I don’t care about the vegan diet or climate change. I do feel like I will be judged for it. I hate all the climate tv shows on tv aswell.
Well, if you think you shouldn't care about other humans, the planet or the torture of animals, you may be a sociopath
The more clearly you see that you're not bad/wrong for what you do, then the less it will hurt if others judge you.
Thanks Noah, yes I think it’s important to follow what is important to us.
Hello Noah 🙂
Thank you for all videos.
I wonder - do you have something about - feeling Lost in Life - that "Big Feeling Lost" 🙏🌷
You're welcome Amanda. I don't have anything about that. You planted a seed to make a video on that subject.
@@NoahElkrief 🤗🌺
a bit off topic but kind of related. My brother in law messaged my husband "so you changed (our son's first name) to his middle name? It's way better". He is implying he doesn't like our son's first name here. I didn't appreciate what he said here even if he meant to say it in a jokey way as we put so much time and energy into the decision on our son's name. But I quickly realised I don't have to care about his opinion or whatever he has to say about it. He is our son, not his. There I minimised the effect of his comment on me.
I'm also a big fan of the vegan issue. Whenever I lapse, I try to I recognise that it doesn't mean anything about me because, A: I'm genuinely trying my best, and B: because the entity that I think that I am that thinks thoughts and initiates actions is a mirage. Sam Harris & Richard Dawkins - "What ethical lapses are we as a generation guilty of that our descendants will look on with horror? Analogous to the way we view the slaveholders of the past? If you look at someone like Thomas Jefferson, obviously a smart and ethical person, and yet he couldn't understand that slavery was an abomination. If you look back further in time, we had the appalling things that the Romans were doing in the Colosseum with spectator sport, watching people killing other people, lions killing people, regarding it as fun entertainment to take the children out to. So in what sense are we just as morally blind today? On our short list is just the horrors of factory farming. It's obvious that if you look at the details there, it's just morally indefensible. It is a horror show. In 100 or 200 years time, our descendants will look back on the way we treated animals today as something like we today look back on the way our forefathers kept slaves. We will embarrass our descendants, just as our ancestors embarrass us. This is moral progress."
I hear that. Everything from how we source our food, to our clothes, to our electronic devices, to our transportation system is all built on exploitation. It's a tough journey to try to ensure that all of our actions are aligned with the heart across the whole supply-chain.
Maybe that's why the good Lord values obedience over sacrifice. What we feel compelled or desire to give can be vastly different from person to person. When you follow Jesus, you follow His lead. Simple
How can you tell whether a decision is coming from the mind or intuition? And how can we access our intuition more often?
I like this question and would like to add to it. Noah, is there a specific energetic body part you'd say is responsible for intuition? Like the gut, or the womb, or something
@@coomartist they say the gut is the second brain or the seat of the mind. Or maybe there is a specific chakra?
That's a good question. Do you mind if I have a go? Imho intuition comes from the mind as well except intuition is on speed dial. The ability to pick up on things very quickly and read between the lines, which is also linked with being empathetic. This decision that you made, do you *think* it's a good idea or do you *feel* it's a good idea? When we get down to the bare bones of things the mind is always operating in survival mode, that's its chief decision making motive, your survival. An intuitive answer may be pulling from other criteria, this can differ from person to person bc it's more personal.
From my experience, every source of answer within ourselves has a different energetic quality/signature. It just feels different. Intuition can come from any of the chakras, or outside of your body, from your soul. Some people choose to make decisions from heart, some from womb, some from solar plexus, some from soul. I tend to listen to solar plexus and soul, then check-in with my heart to make sure it feels right there. Sometimes, when it comes to food, if I am particularly in touch with my root chakra, or balls, then it's like this warrior energy where I just want to kill an animal to eat. I want something heavy and dense. But, if I check in with my heart, it doesn't like that. So, there is no one specific place of intuition. Everyone listens to different sources of intuition. Human design talks about this.
@@NoahElkrief really beautiful answer thank you
I don't care about many things that people do!
:) that's okay
Also if someone doesn’t like me should I still make the effort to be respectful and acknowledge them for e.g coworkers , family, friends
It's not about "should". It's about what feels true and aligned for you. For me, it doesn't feel good to be disrespectful. It doesn't matter what someone did or didn't to me first.
I don't care about being vegan. Why? Because I'm not rich and have others needs unmet that put a strain on prioritizing a cruelty-free diet. I've always had a probelm with MONEY. I don't have a satisfyin answer how to handle it. Until I do, I'll never judge anyone for their actions within a system that FORCES you to have money to meet a buuuuunch of needs. Or to live in integrity.
But more than that, I do feel the consciousness of the person consuming is the most important thing. I would never harm an animal. Yet I eat meat. Am I contributing to animal suffering? No. It's a complicated issue but it's not as linear as most people think. Also animal cruelty and being a meat eater are not the same thing.
I hear you Jean. I understand.

Hi Noah, are you working on another course?
My new course about how to forgive yourself will be launching on May 1st. I will post videos about it soon.
Noah if I as an individual do something that directly results in an extremely large amount of pollution in the environment, with my decision as the main and sole perpetrator, does this generate "bad" karma in relation to the Earth that I'll find myself working through in the future?
I hear your message about self worth's independence from our actions and intentions. I was wondering about the objective cause and effect of this scenario though
My experience with karma isn't like a simple set of rules. There are many nuances to it. Karma isn't punishment, and it isn't based on the solely on the effects of your actions. So, it's not possible to say for sure what the karmic imprints would be of your actions. But, yes, it's very possible that we will have to work through guilt/pain/shame of being a perpetrator. We may also have to experience being a similar type of victim as those we perpetrated in order to gain compassion for victims, so that we won't be a perpetrator again.
@@NoahElkrief Thank you for sharing your insight ☺️
This doesn't sit well for me 😣
Thanks for sharing Daraya. I welcome whatever feelings you have about what I shared.
