Thank you for every video you have posted, i have watched them all and every single one of them has helped my life greatly! Thank you for not sacrifising quality for quantity!

I would love your opinion on the psychology of time.
Specifically why we don't function off a perfect 13 month calendar instead months are 28,29,30 and 31 days long breaking up the moon pattern and weekends.
My guess is it relates to the matrix scene with morpheus and agent Smith talking about a perfect world and how humans need conflict.
But mostly the months.
I find it fascinating and shocking that in my 40s I had never thought about it before.
(The clock, min, sec 24 hours I can forgive though if you have something to teach me there I would be all ears also)
My best friend led me to your videos over a year ago and I am a better version of myself because of it. Complex philosophical topics that are boiled down into 10 minute quickly absorbable videos are indispensable to me; as I am dyslexic. 1,000 'thank yous' for the beautiful artwork and absolutely no music in your videos.

@@carlranger8060 I work hard every day to not let my trumatic past control my life, and recently I did several things my anxiety have stopped me from doing my whole life.

7:05...THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BREAKDOWN AND A REBIRTH IS THE INDIVIDUAL'S DECISION TO REFUSE DEFEAT. THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH IT.
Very true. The key is to trust yourself irrespective of what comes ahead
you can refuse defeat and still lose. But you can try again later in your life with new ideas.
@@EpicShkun not talking about refusing defeat in the delusional sense, constant defeat should be expected and lessons collected... talking about refusing to allow discouragement to seat any permanent root that would continue to accompany you
@@shatteredsquare true, i think a distinction is good
@@EpicShkun the only defeat in this case is going back to one oldself. Any place else should be seem as a step up as you have proven to yourself your can beat your own demons

@@SistoActivitatemAtm the mind can think up scary shit
This channel is the epitome of "disturbing the comfortable and comforting the disturbed" many topics either affirm the feelings of those who may be uncertain of their journey whilst also pushing the stagnant into a transformation. Helpful af
This was a very secular explanation for the message the Messiah preached. He told us to deny ourselves, (let go of our habits, will, and emotions during this transformation) take up our cross (own the suffering and bare the burden and struggle of going through this transformation) and follow Him ( chase after righteousness and healthy moral living). In my experience, The Most High and His Son as well as the Holy Spirit has been a major key to my success in enduring a rapid personality change. Prior to this change I had endured great suffering due to lifestyle choices and habits that I couldn't let go of on my own strength. I found strength in God and He has continued to strengthen me, and fill that void that existed after I let go of my old ways and personality. What I found most helpful about this video was the normalization of the stress and anxiety that occurs while pursuing balance after a radical change in ones life has occurred. I suffered several panic attacks and waves of intense fear early in my journey and still struggle with anxiety today, although it has gotten less intense. I appreciated and was comforted when the narrator explained that it was normal and that nothing was wrong with me. A huge weight was lifted. Thank you for this video! I pray that all who seek to radically change their lives allow God and the Holy Spirit to do the work for you! Man alone does not have the strength to endure the nessicary suffering that comes along with this change. God bless!
Asia Riddick okay let’s not mix beneficial philosophy as well being with the bullshit in the Bible. The Bible says all kinds of immoral fucked up shit so why would you use that as the model for your life?
@@blaise4468 Even when something is Evil... It would be ignorance to not take lessons out of it. Even the lesson that you should never impliment it in your own life is a good thing. Yet that is to your own perception.
@@blaise4468 casue it is the truth. and if you consider it was written two thousands years ago, without insights we are having today, it seems amazing right? almost not possible to exist. and did you red the Bible? or you just heard about others ppl interpretations?
Asia Riddick He who is without sin, may cast the first stone. The righteousness of Christians can be hypocritical at best and downright vicious and hateful at worst a shame because I think the message is a good one based on kindness to others.
"When the pain is great enough, we Will seek change."
Yes, for me it’s the pain experienced at night when I’m stuck with my thoughts for a period. The only way to escape it is to ensure no daunting regrets will remain at the end of the day, particularly from engaging in hedonistic activities/ aversion behaviours. Even if fears of the future fester in my mind I know I did the best I could and am not kept up all night.
To put this into a simple paragraph according to my understanding:
1. Rapid transformations are possible; however, it is much riskier than gradual changes because the volatility may be too big to bear without losing one's sanity.
2. Side idea: It happens most to those who are not content with their lives than the content ones.
3. This rapid transformation's first stage is a stage of chaos. You are deliberately destroying your old and stable way of doing things with an intent to replace with a better one but doing so would hurt your feeling of order and causes you enter into a chaotic dimension.
4. Some deeply sunk into this chaos and make their matters worse by not being able to come out of the hole they dug, the hole is too dark to make sense and see and the longer they spent that time in that darkness, the more they become one with the darkness and the task of positive transformation becomes impossible to them. Some manage to find the diamond and get out of the hole by keeping their sanity in check and allowing themselves to be calm and think through many ways of getting out of that dark hole. Some exercises that help one's sanity in check are meditations and exercising.
5. Last point is that some choose to go through this process despite the risk and some don't due to fear, laziness...or various other reasons. But even if you decide not to go thru these changes, the fact that you are not voluntarily going thru these changes diminishes your freedom and in turn puts you in that dark hole forcefully. So, the video suggests that you wishing not to take action or not doesn't really matter cuz you will be involved in this process anyway so why not take the challenge and overcome it voluntarily instead of doing nothing and regretting later.
Well put
Very well stated and Truth! Such Truth. Gratitude of your comment. 😇
Thank you
Great summary, thanks
But what if the choice is too convoluted. You can't see a way forward.
Fear can be pleasurable if you reframe it as excitement. The only difference between fear and excitement is attitude.
Mark Caseon man this is beautifully put. I recognized when I would get anxiety I could shift that sinking feeling in my stomach to a feeling of butterflies whenever I shifted my attitude about what I was about to do.
Well then it's not fear. If all you feel is excitement, how boring for you. Without fear, how can you know that what you're doing is right? Feel free to delude yourself and not face fear. It will defeat you in the end.
@@kahwigulum Knowledge and education will help you see difference between right and wrong.
Fear can be pleasurable, thats why people watch horror movies and thrillers.
Idk man spiders don’t really excite me.
This Channel is extremely underrated. Each video is crafted with care and wisdom. Thank you!
indeed
I like putting headphones on device in my pocket and get on with my chores while listening to this channel
This channel has 400k followers....
How is it underrated when it has 400k subs and gets 200k views with great like ratios? Maybe youre looking for another word
A swede that plays minecraft gets 7 million views on average. This deserves that or more.
Im literally doing this now. Waking up at 4, meditation/affirmations, gym, clean food, work until 7, meditation/affirmations, sleep by 9. Sunday is for relaxing and socializing. Reverse engineering my long term goals and taking control of my reward systems. Starving my mind of distractions and improving my ability to focus on what moves the needle. Anything short of this and I tend to slip into apathetic complacency and chronic underlying anger.
How do you feel about this now?
I took a voluntary plunge into darkness, and I’m still climbing my way back out, I took a plunge and got lost at the bottom, became a satanist, lost all my friends, and hated myself and the world, I’ve gained better friends and came back twice as strong as I was and I’m no longer a satanist

I have a feeling, my Maladaptive Daydreaming will have to be my sacrifice. It has gotten out of control. I have to come to terms with where I'm at and how I look. I also have to forgive myself for old mistakes I made. I ruminate on the past way too much. Self acceptance isn't as easy as it sounds, people. I need your prayers.
What is termed as maladaptive daydreaming is dissociation, usually linked to Complex PTSD. Many times this is due to growing up in dysfunctional family dynamics, otherwise known as the toxic family. To start your recovery, you just need to start. True prayer is ACTION. I wish you well.

This video describes my life recently. The most difficult thing is dealing with people who think you've lost your mind because they expect you to live in the past because they can't control you anymore.
Relentless Pursuer - Renegade of Truth talking sometimes is the wrong thing to do
That's true, I have stopped 'feeling' that other people had control, I have stopped perceiving their needs and feeling empathy towards others, instead, I have empathy for myself- Finally I matter to someone, I matter to myself :)
They try to control you, don't let them.
Yep same here.
My family thinks I’m “sick” because of my way of thinking, I hit them with the straight truths & then think I’m absolutely wrong & that THEIR WAY IS THE “RIGHT WAY”
I understand them tho😂my thoughts and ideas are foreign to them because what they know is all they know. Which is sad when you think about it :/ that’s why I try to be more loving towards them even if they think I’m a psycho 😂
Loved this video. Just want to share my own story:
Recently divorced someone who blamed me for everything - I fell down a rabbit hole of intense self loathing and failure only to come out the other side several weeks later with a new vision and outlook on life. Im moving out of my apartment, quitting my dead-end job and buying a work van to live in on the road and start my own business that I’ve been planning for the past 7 years. I also learned that it’s not OK to put up with someone else’s red flags because you think you’ll be able to look past them in the future. That day will never come. Your partner needs to respect you as a person and be mature enough to take responsibility for their own actions.
Most importantly, you need to respect yourself and when the day comes where you must rise from the ashes, you will know. There is no mistaking it.
You didn't get enough like, yet.
So true .
Thanks for sharing that. How have things worked out for you since writing the above?
@@stevearcher6100 boy we are all capable of unimaginable darkness but when people are together you always give or share light to each other's lives so that the monsters never awaken. There has to be someone who just never shares their lights and ends up sucking all the light for their own satisfaction, leaving the other one in ruins. So make sure you never spew your own skewed perception of morality and ethics based on little to no evidence to increase the suffering of someone who has already been in the depths because I detest people like you from the core of my being.
Missing is the mismatch of the sharing couple. One brain among two is not enough. Half brains get on by appeasing each other. It all depends on You. Like every man is an island . He has to adapt , and you have to as well or it’s a mismatch. How much does money make it the cause, many instances are about that.wealth can dump,and make a new life, poor are stuck in the accustomed life of strife. It’s not new anywhere.
'View ourselves as explorers of the chaos.' I feel like I needed to hear that.
The sacrifice i need to make is to move out of my parents home
Did it a year ago, even it i lose everything i would rather live under the bridge than to go back to that toxic house.
Me too. But I don't know enough about finances or life in general to last for very long on my own.

I probably know less than most tho. If I do move out now, I would only be asking for a disaster.
Perfect timing, as I decided to quit doing drugs recently and stop wasting my time and money from getting high. I used to train MMA, my passion, and left it cuz I fell back into addiction. Ty for the motivation!
Jon Tyder congrats man. I'm proud of you!!!! I applaud your courage and bravery. Keep Strong Buddy!!
@-COLOMBIANCHANNEL-TM BRUH
@-COLOMBIANCHANNEL-TM Nobody can contest that of course, however if you reached the point where all of your connections to the world are lost and the only thing that you have left in your life are drugs, then getting high can actually become very unpleasant as the realization of the miserable life you are having ( working all day to make money to buy the drugs ) moves step by step from the subconscious realms into the conscious realms up to the point where getting high becomes a drag. Drugs are fun only while you have your life together and if you can find a way to share all the happiness that you get from using them. At least that is what my friends told me :)
just respect yourself enough ...Jesus will help-conquer those demons
I just made three years clean. I just want to encourage you and wish you the best. I swear, it can get better. At first, getting sober can feel like a living hell. But as this video said, "chaos begets new forms of order." I'm so grateful that I was able to let that part of myself die. I'm actually happy now. Stay strong, man.
I have been suffering for many years from chronic insomnia, anxiety disorders and depression. I had developed bad psychosomatic habits and behaviors like eating disorder that even worsened my situation. I had no job, no friends, nothing. And I had problems with my parents and family. It's has been over 3 years when I reached the bottom of my depression and I could not take it anymore. I wanted to commit suicide. I live in a country where the medicine and drugs are not easily accessible, and too expensive, if it wasnt I would end up a drug addict or dead. Because I was too scared of pain to cut myself or jump under train or smth, but I thought of dying almost every day. I prayed for it.
In the end something clicked in me. It was like I lost so much of me, that there were nothing left and at that point I started feeling life. I started feeling life because there was no Me.
I started my journey of change and I work on building my habits every day. Every day I think of what a gift the life is and I try to learn something new and do a good thing and reconsider my bad actions even the small ones, like judging others.
I forgot the past, I improved my relationship with parents I lost 15 kg and etc
I want to practice meditations, and many more spiritual practices
Even tho I still feel scared of what I have gone through but I am so grateful for it
I don't know if it was a psychological rebirth but it was a rebirth for me and I am now convinced that It might repeat again
But the next time I will embrace it
Thanks for writing this

This channel is helping me a lot. 🙏🏻 thank you
What happened
Look into "positive disintegration".
The timing of this is crazy. I just experienced a massive personality shift extremely recently.
How? Speak on it bro
@Neil Wiggs Understandable. I am in a sense going through the same thing. However I still reject organized religion I still enjoy learning about religions and all the in and outside without directly following them. (Basically learning the lessons without church or killing goats) I wish you best of luck!
@Neil Wiggs You seem to confuse spirituality with religion. Religion(exceptions are the less organised ones)wants to close the human mind, spirituality seeks the opposite.
Neil Wiggs Islam says you have free will
Did your personality change from last year continue?
Always with a subject in perfect timming
Well good luck
amargamentedoce right
Yea right??
Amen. It's a little trippy lol
It's not perfect timing, it's just the fact that they speak about things that every person goes through and we don't even think abt it or don't know how to put it into words.
Exactly what happened to me. Word for word. Anyone who is listening, please understand, you control the end result. Choose life
Yeah it’s a very strange experience.
I honestly didn’t know about this other then my own experience until I watched this.
It’s insane no one discusses this more.
This is the 1st time again after a very, very long time that I cried after watching a video. I followed what was said to make a sacrifice, and I just sacrificed something very close and attached to me, -a very strong negative emotion towards a person that i'm harbouring for years. I'm free now. I just had a breakthrough. Thank you.
Something like this can happen to you so quickly...
It's like a slow descent at first, where you find yourself in a dark place in your life, where things become worse and worse until you fall into a pit.
And you climb out of that pit as a changed man.
I went through something like this twice in my life already. First when I was fighting my social anxiety and depression, second time when I (luckily) lost my stressful job and got out of a bad relationship.
You essentially find yourself in a place, where you have no choice but to change, become stronger and move on.
But if you're reading this and you're in a similar situation: You can do it! Stop doubting yourself and keep pushing!
Life always has beautiful things to offer once you move on past all the bullshit.
How did you overcome social anxiety? I am currently experiencing depression : week 3. Starting to climb out of the pit now by gaining these insights and being inspired
I must fight these illusions and be in the world. I have isolated long enough.
@@kali11123 I had therapy, which helped me a lot and ultimately set me on the right track.
But you could start by putting yourself in those social interactions, which you'd normally avoid.
It worked for me by starting small and then moving on to more "stressful" things by the end.
Something like:
-> Going out to buy groceries by myself
-> Taking the bus in the front row and starting a conversation with the bus driver
-> phone calls (used to be one of the most stressful things for me ironically)
-> Going to a bar with a friend for a drink
-> Start a conversation with a girl you find cute
It also helped me, when I realized, that nobody really pays attention to you in your day-to-day life.
Even if the absolutely most embarassing thing happens to you - nobody will remember it after a while.
Don't be ashamed or afraid to start therapy though, if you need to.
I honestly don't know if I could've made it as far as I have, if I didn't.
Stay strong, brother.
Keep me updated on how your journey is going.
Im experiencing this right now, transforming my goal directed motivation and fundamentally shifting my paradigm. Cool how this video coincides with my journey.
Search Jed McKenna.
Last year, I had a profound and meaningful goal. It gave my life a great amount of significance and motivation. But at the end of the year, I lost it (the idea was not worth pursuing). Since then, I've been trying to find something else to go after. I'm looking for meaning again. I hope I succeed!
Right there with you, though its a slippery slope on the way up ...
God speed!
@Lord Protector look before you leap.
This has happened to me. I even had a very vivid dream with me dying and being reborn to a better version of me. When this happened I woke up feeling one of the most beautiful feelings I could ever feel, it was super intense, but I felt an enlightening . You can become who you want to be. You really can live a happy life.

Carl Jung is a visionary.
@Saphēda Kamala Google it (Jung: The Red Book)
Saphēda Kamala It’s a very intense book I don’t suggest reading it but there’s videos on TH-cam that describe What it’s about.
I've undergone extreme mental change over the past year and a half and when it says sacrificing that part of yourself can result in initial chaos and struggle that shit is extremely true. I used to be very angry at the world, for the way we treat people and once I finally decided to abandon that anger I was dysfunctional, I didn't know what to do or think for a little while before some good thinking habits set it and improved my mental status extremely
This video showed me that I’m currently in the middle of a ‘rebirth’. Changed a lot of relationships and tendencies over the last month and I’ve felt like I’ve been leaving something behind and chasing something new but haven’t been able to tell what they were. When he started talking about the usefulness of meditation and breathing exercises I laughed out loud because I’ve been gravitating towards those more than ever in my life because my anxiety has been through the roof. It’s hard changing yourself out of no where. People think you’ve lost it and if enough people start to tell you your change is bad, you start to wonder if they’re right. You have to trust yourself and remind yourself that there is a reason you had to make this change and keep going. Don’t let anyone hold you back.
This greatly relates to my own psychological rebirth. Almost verbatim. Incredible. I've managed to completely transform myself from the broken, depressed man I was a few years prior. It was all incremental change and power of will. I started fasting 23 hours a day, engaging in rigorous exercise twice daily (sometimes thrice), and intensely educating myself while putting applicably beneficial concepts learned into practice. I have found a great deal of meaning in pursuing difficult things as I now know how said things mold great men. Academy of Ideas has been a great tool and resource in these pursuits. I shall become a supporting member in the very near future. Much love, brother.
I’m happy to hear of your positive journey, but I have a side question pertaining to fasting. How do you handle your fasting on top of exercise without the effects of energy depletion? How many calories do you think you consume a day? Is fasting 18-23 hours a day sustainable with a 9-5 job?
@@mrj4990 Fasting and caloric restriction activate both cellular and genetic pathways that promote energy homeostasis and lifespan extension. AMP-activated protein kinase is a cellular signaling pathway involved in metabolic homeostasis, mitochondrial biogenesis, and autophagy. All of which promote optimal energy and expression of protective genes like the FOXO3A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP. FOX03A is known as the longevity gene and is present in most centenarians and super-centenarians. When one trains in a fasted state, these pathways are greatly amplified and the need for superfluous consumption is greatly attenuated.
It's important to note that both AMP-Kinase and FOXO3A are inhibited by IGF-1 and insulin. Insulin and IGF-1 are secreted during times of feeding. High protein diets, especially those high in animal proteins, will inhibit these expressions as well, as more insulin and IGf-1 is secreted with higher blood levels of amino acids. I follow a protocol called the Age Inhibition regimen (AIR) by Dr. Nun Amen Ra. It all started with an attempt to debunk his what then seemed to be quacky claims. I found no holes and this has been truly the most worthwhile pursuit of my life.
I recently did a 23andMe DNA test. I plugged the raw data into FoundMyFitness and Promethease, both genetic variant assessment tools. I've come to learn I have four different single nucleotide polymorphism in the FOXO3 pathway. I feel this is an epigenetic change and result of strict adherence to the Age Inhibition Regimen. The FOXO3 SNP is present in only about 10% of the world population, so this, for me, has proven the validity of AIR and has intensified my adherence.
I'm currently 5'10 193, very low adiposity, much like my avatar, slightly better. NO DRUGS, just specific nutriceuticals such as resveratrol, curcumin, EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) of green tea, pomegranate extract, green coffee bean extract, and cocoa seed extract(theobromine), berberine and a few other plant-derived compounds. These all promote AMP-Kinase activation, autophagy, neural plasticity, as well as testosterone production and lean muscle tissues.
I am honored to have this channel on notification.
This video has so much truth to it. I spent 6 years of my life with high anxiety, and the last 6 months of that period were spent in depression. I awoke from the depression a new and better person. This was a great summary of my journey through that period.
I thought I was psychotic or crazy, but in reality I am becoming something new and greater as the reward for acknowledging , facing and then walking through the flames. To shine like the sun, first you must burn like it. Sending strength and positivity to everyone. Keep fighting
In my estimation, any practice without an underpinning philosophy can only ever be drudgery, meanwhile any philosophy without practical implementation can only ever amount to sophistry.
Well said

Though it has helped me tremendously with my autism and adhd, at work, with productivity, the everyday life to be honest. I felt a breaking point a couple of days ago, where that need, or addiction starts to lurk back at me again. I will not give up in this, its going to be hard, and will take a lot of willpower and courage. A lot of mind ghosts will probably appear again. But I will not surrender. Once again, thank you for this video.
my 20s are pretty crazy. Quitting weed also!
Now why would you go and do that lolll. Jk. I'm a smoker
Keep it up!
@@danieledemedici3217 i Actually decided to quit two days ago.. it became an unhealthy habit and it was time :)
Quitting is good sometimes

"The sacrifice is critical in the process of rebirth, for the simple reason that often what keeps us locked in our problems is the inability to recognize that ways of life that served us in our past may morph from promoters of our well-being, to the acute cause of our suffering. A sacrifice can take countless forms, and may be as simple as the quitting of a dead-end job. Sacrifice can engender a psychological rebirth. The snake which cannot shed its skin perishes."
"...worn out way of being."
Boy does that ring a bell.
Looking back, I realize how much I have changed and how much I have suffered during that change.
The change itself is not obvious, nor is the changing. It only becomes obvious when you compare yourself with your old self.
Your lectures are infinitely applicable, as is evidenced by how many people (myself included) feel that it was perfectly timed for their personal context.
@Jay Bee depends on the person,
But yeah it makes sense most people aren't freed just by watching a video, however the video is a tool to reach freedom
I experienced this in 1996.
It's simple, "Enough is Enough" .
"Truth is Truth".
@Jay Bee , when you reach a point in life where you will let go of a misguided reality within your belief system, the simplicity of truth in fact of your physical beingness becomes apparent. For myself, that point came from living a lie for half of my lifetime. Trauma compounded mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually to be the intervention I needed to become whole true self.
@@kevinkinney5445 exactly, i comes down to being honest and stop lieing to yourself, you've got to live your life, not something you've made up in your mind.
@@dirhido9665 - Acknowledging that the picture of reality others have constructed for you, may be questioned necessarily. Listen carefully and believe prudently
@@kimjameson7979 for myself, it was a realization of "You can believe a million lies, but You can only Know the truth".
I think it all depends upon how willing anyone is too go to the deepest level of their being and dig up the husk of the seed that they germinated meaning when in-forming their self.
@Jay Bee the one who asks the question, knows the answer. 😉
Approximately a year ago I made the conscious decision to allow who I was to die in order to become who I needed. I remember this very clearly because I let myself try and form my own opinion about my mother, whos narcissism destroyed the family. Doing so caused me to break into psychosis, specifically hypomania, which eventually led to me discovering I have a few mental illnesses. Despite the fact that this decision triggered enough stress in my life for intrusive suicidal thoughts to settle in, it has changed my life for the better. I'm also not so sure I'd be here today if I hadn't.
Everything in this video that was said, I have applied to myself in some way; it's astonishing. I only discovered Jung psychology less than a month ago, through the artwork of Peter Birkäuser, so I'm in disbelief of how accurate this video is of myself in the past year.
Your visuals are so captivating that I became a fan of this type of art
One day I will do something for who ever does this content. This is only an articulate way of Expressing what I have been living all my life and specially the last years. Thanks so much.
The timing of this video is PERFECT!! Thank you for sharing such knowledge in your videos. It’s truly helping me get my own self back.
Mario Chillogallo this is an example of synchronicity I would say In fact,
This video comes at a perfect time, as many people are talking about psychological deaths & rebirths. Collectively, it seems that many of us are experiencing these dramatic changes together. May it be for the better.
Jon Harris I feel like the world is headed towards chaos, a good type of chaos, but hard to predict.
If only these videos were around when I was “suicidal” and lost.
These are the videos that deserve to be trending over the mainstream viral ones 🙄🙄🙄
the trick is that you probably wouldn't have appreciated this so much then
Glad to hear your much stronger. I too have battled that spirit. God bless you honey. ❤
They will not understand the true worth of it....trust me on that...its to us who made the fall...
if you're around now, you won
Interesting that mental breakdown and radical change both have the same origin and one is prerequisite to another.
This was a very secular explanation for the message the Messiah preached. He told us to deny ourselves, (let go of our habits, will, and emotions during this transformation) take up our cross (own the suffering and bare the burden and struggle of going through this transformation) and follow Him ( chase after righteousness and healthy moral living). In my experience, The Most High and His Son as well as the Holy Spirit has been a major key to my success in enduring a rapid personality change. Prior to this change I had endured great suffering due to lifestyle choices and habits that I couldn't let go of on my own strength. I found strength in God and He has continued to strengthen me, and fill that void that existed after I let go of my old ways and personality. What I found most helpful about this video was the normalization of the stress and anxiety that occurs while pursuing balance after a radical change in ones life has occurred. I suffered several panic attacks and waves of intense fear early in my journey and still struggle with anxiety today, although it has gotten less intense. I appreciated and was comforted when the narrator explained that it was normal and that nothing was wrong with me. A huge weight was lifted. Thank you for this video! I pray that all who seek to radically change their lives allow God and the Holy Spirit to do the work for you! Man alone does not have the strength to endure the nessicary suffering that comes along with this change. God bless!
Can confirm. I didnt know this was a widespread phenomenon. I'm so happy to know
I know for a fact i'll be back so notes to my future self:
The person you are and the person you want to be is very different. So your sacrifices are naturally more hard.
1. In order to win, you need to sacrifice your habits ( eating a lot, spending all of your time in phone- and i know we use it to read books and listen music but we need to limit it so we can get our shit done. )
2. In order to not getting your heart broken, you need to sacrifice your kindness. Your kindness made you end up in your room with a bottle of painkillers and a letter. Learn to not give a shit, learn to hate people and then act on it, learn to be furious instead of sad. Be angry. Use that anger for changing.
Also, there's a difference between being kind and being a doormat. Considering our life, you know which one is us.
@@sachinbansal1261 lmao i never thought someone would read this, i'm glad it helped you! :)
This is absolutely amazing! Having recently went through this, a small part of me still questions my sanity and interpretation of events. I also question my ability to rise from the ashes, but this added some validity to my experiences. Thank you!
Your videos come to me in a form of synchronicity.
Im 1.30 minutes in and damn I realized I've hit the gold! I've been searching for content/channel like this for weeks now and I've finally found this hidden gem! Your videos are amazing, thank you!
You cannot better these videos... absolutely brilliantly put together and are so appealing to me that I feel fortunate to have found them and so grateful to the people who make them
I went through this at age 27. Complete mental break. Became a different person a few months later. A better person.
Yo WTF... This guy has Krazy timing!!!! I've been looking for this type of stuff lately!!
the Google search algorithm is working well for you then...
all the best
Syncronicity.
*crazy

I needed this so much right now. Who else going through a rebirth January 2020?

Oh girl, give it a month and the earth will reset...
I want to :(
Wow. This has been my 2022. My sacrifice was mostly involuntary. The dysfunction grew too much and I was forced to make was choice. The pain was excruciation. Now I'm accepting the descent instead of resisting it. I am embracing the changes and seeing where they lead.
Absolutely fascinating video, thank you for the knowledge and validation!
this may be happening to me (i think it started 2 months ago) and your video reassured me that im probably on the right path. every sentence is relatable and contains so much wisdom, and i feel like your videos helped me a lot during the past 2 years, thank you for creating them.
The classical artwork is always a great part of these well-researched gifts. Thank you.
This video has put words on my intuitions of what is happening to me right now. Thanks academy of ideas, you guys are great.
This channel is the best discovery of the year. The match of the authors and quotes are incredible.
Great work, guys.
One of my favourite channel with high quality content. It's a hidden gem!
This outlines my personal experience from October 2019 - March 2020. The process is intense. I feel fortunate that I was able to come out on the other side and would say confidently that it very much is a transformation of personality and psychology. This video captures the essence of the process well.
Give us more detailed on what happened
I found this video six months ago, right before the end of the year. My life was in complete chaos, chaos ruled my daily existence and all I thought to do was partake in unhealthy coping mechanisms to get through each day.
After finding this video I took a complete plunge into hell, literally listening to war music daily as I removed every dopamine addiction and bad habit from my life. I reintroduced every positive habit that i could think of would serve me, and I journaled in my free time to help navigate the waters.
Lasted about three weeks until the stress kicked my ass and plunged me further than I was able to handle, and alot of bad habits returned.
At the start it was a few weeks I'd return to the bad habits before my next plunge, but the longer I stay on this journey - the less I have to return to "safety", and the less time I have to spend there.
This video and the knowledge it contains without a doubt changed my life in ways I could have never expected. I consume knowledge daily, and have yet to find anything close to as powerful as this video.
Thanks to the sacrifice I mostly live in a state of order, where positivity, purpose, passion, drive and hope fuels my daily existence.
Despite the absolute agony of that first dive into hell, id do it all over again in a heartbeat. The bigger the sacrifice, the bigger the reward has now become my mantra.
Thanks again for the awesome content, keep up the great work
Tell me, is it doable this way?
I need to fix myself up in this respect. Managed to stay afloat with excercise and I do have some interests lined up to dive in and maybe even make money with along the line.
But I need to kick my weed habit, even though I doubt I can truly stop. Just enough distance to keep some of my time and money free for constructive thinking, feeling and doing.
That's all I need.
Wow, I’m fairly certain I had this happen to me going on 10 years ago now. I used to be an extrovert, always joking around and laughing, making friends and hanging out with people, then out of nowhere I did a complete 180 and became an introvert, rarely socialized, have few friends, don’t really laugh or joke around anymore.
For the longest time I never knew what happened and why I suddenly did a complete 180, for the longest time I was lost, I didn’t know what was wrong with me, why I was no longer the person that I was. This video hits the nail on the head, if only I had seen/heard of this topic back then I wouldn’t have been so lost for so long, but because I was lost and have begun to find my way I feel that I am blessed with a new sense of resolve and wisdom, more clear headed and more focused.
Thanks for the great video. Subscribed!
This video has come to me at such a perfect time. Thank you so much for making it. I have been dependent on my Mother my whole life. I have struggled to push her away. She constantly tries to help me by giving me money, a place to live, etc. However, I have realized all along that it has been stunting my spiritual and psychological growth. This series of videos has encouraged me to finally break free and step into chaos and pursue my rebirth...thank you again!
The videos this channel release are just so aligned with what i am Going through , Great content Great Work , BIG UP 💪🏻💪🏻
It makes me so happy.. all the thoughts I have.. being taught to me but much more clearer! I.. think a lot. And.. I go through all of these phases and it’s just so cool being able to compare myself and seeing and understanding the philosophy and psychology so clearly.. I love this channel.
I feel so at peace while discovering new ideas and watching these videos. Didn't know about this channel at all! Thank you.
This just became one of my favorite TH-cam videos ever. Wow. Bravo.
I can completely relate to this video. This psychological chaos is exactly what I've been going through over the past few months. In my attempt to change my worldview to a more positive, productive, and fulfilling one, I ended up questioning everything and being unsure in myself. I could not stay focused because I was afraid that what I was focused on was coming from the old state of mind I was trying to avoid so I constantly kept losing focus to the point where I felt like I had severe ADD. I felt like I was barely functional. Things took 5 times as long as they would've before because of the mental turmoil I faced overthinking every task, my conversations and relationships suffered because I would constantly lose my train of thought in the middle of almost every sentence, and I literally could not even direct my thoughts in a certain direction without getting sidetracked by some clearly illogical irrelevant thing that felt like life or death to me. In pursuit of a better mindset I lost some fundamental mental functions. I never thought it would get to this point. It felt a lot like my own personal hell. I have made some progress in stabilizing my psyche and trying to create a new structure I can rely on, but I'm afraid I'm starting to slide back into my old toxic mindset I originally set out to escape. At this point I'm conflicted. Should I hold onto any mental foundation I can get ahold of and risk not changing my patterns or should I mess with my subconscious more in hopes of achieving my goal at the risk of completely losing my mind again?
Couldn't stop tears from pushing through wile listening to this. I want to say thank you, but I guess, we'll see about that.
chicliac you can do it
Trust yourself.
I love that you’ve put in the time to discuss this! Thank you! 🙏🏼💖
When going through some of the darkest periods in my life , I come back to your videos. Thank you
Right about 3 minutes in is when I realized some things about myself.
Great video
This video made me realize how I’m feeling right now is actually normal and healthy, as I’m reintegrating with post secondary education as a perfectionist; and that I hate not getting things “right” the first time around even though that’s impossible for anyone learning a new skill, makes me feel like I’m unworthy of it. But I think in reality it’s the fact that sometimes I just need things to be re-explained, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to try from another source.
My bad mentality also probably has a lot of unresolved trauma I don’t deal with, as healthily as I should, but I don’t think anyone could understand anyways. I don’t bottle it in, but I’m not anxious to talk about it, it costed me my job after all. People don’t like people they can’t compartmentalize, so they don’t bother integrating their needs with the standards of the industry.
It’s taken a lot to see myself in a positive light, losing my job, the very first job I ever got, made me feel so worthless, I couldn’t look people in the face. It’s a daily struggle, but I get through. It’s all I can do.
Extremely comprehensive and enlightening video. In fact all of the videos from this channel. Dense knowledge for those brave enough to learn. Thank you
I cannot say how thankful I am for these videos. Thank you, dear makers))
I'm in the process of ending my 12 year relationship...The universe sends this to guide me.
Good luck 🙏 Great attitude for your journey 👏😊
how did it go?
Take care.💝
God puts things in place for a reason. And this came at the perfect time.
Great pain and suffering led me here.
I've been there. My heart goes out to you both. It's tough, but ultimately for the better.
This video came to me during a time when I needed it the most. Thank you for making this knowledge available to me.
I've recently been though a psychological rebirth... 1 year ago. It was the worst thing I have ever experienced! I'm grateful to be alive. I could have ended up in a looney bin.
Major life crises usually cause personality changes.
I thought the day couldn't get better when Pursuit of Wonder uploaded earlier today and now this

I was walking through hell until I realized it was all in my head.
Thank you for this wonderful video. Saving my life as I actively seek to better my personality, heal my past traumas and bavagaite the chaos that we call life.
This video has helped me understand something I've being unconsciously struggling with for a while now . This has really cleared things up for me. Thank you.
I experienced this in making an active decision to be a Christian after having been into all manner of depraved and quite frankly evil ways of experience. The initial transformation was very disassociating and caused extreme anxiety and fear at the fundamental change taking place within my spirit. In the end I'm much more content and a much better man, all glory to Christ.
Reality is found in Christ. Every time I stray and get into trouble, He has ALWAYS put me back on a stable footing.
Amen
@@gchijioke12 its crazy...we really dont deserve what He did for us...I am done with being an idiot:)
religion is just another form of escapism, its not the truth but just mass escapism
@Mark Onstad Christ doesnt confine anyone. Many faiths do though, sadly....
I needed this right now.. Thanks, homie!
WOW. Your skills to compile and add insightful commentary to such complex topics is astonishing. I have watched and rewatched many of your videos but this one blew my mind wide open. All though I do claim to have had an understanding of this concept of rebirth from my studies, this video laid it all out in front if me with complete clarity and helped me place the pieces into "steps". Thank you for your work!
