What a privilege it was to edit the words of one of the greatest men of our generation.
Having said that this video is not about Russell Brand at all it is about the message and that message has never been more simple, its LOVE.
I share a lot of the same beliefs with Russell and was inspired to do this project as he says things I feel and in such an open, honest and pure way on media platforms in the public eye.
Trimmed from hours of inspiring, loving and pure truth interviews/talks Russell has been involved in throughout the last year.
I do not own any of the rights to the visual or audio content within this video. It was made as creative project. An expression of newage theories in a somewhat artistic way.
Music:

Its funny how everybody are looking at him like he's a lunatic, but he actually speaks in a way that only spiritually intelligent people understand
You don't even have to be spiritually intelligent, just open minded, while what he says can feel very erratic and mad he makes some incredible and pertinent points to the modern world, a grand new perspective on the philosophies of our political systems.
Nation you are absolutely correct. Those without the enlightenment, its all noise and gibberish to them. sooner or later, everyone learns 😉
Well, no wonder if you use such a vapid language. If I was him, I would at least speak in a way that would make me distinguishable from an actual lunatic.
it's all about awakeness, those who think he's lunatic are still asleep. Or are trying to keep us asleep.
Not that I don't appreciate the message of hope Russell emparts... but you do realise that as a species we're morons? Too stupid to assure our future as a species.
People who understand what he is saying and who know the truth to his words I advise you to not get caught up in arguing with people in the comments on here. Not everyone is supposed to wake up right now. Let them sleep.
What I alway say haha.
We shouldn't talk about how to experience "enlightenment" and whatnot until we've become "enlightened" ourselves. Else we're just regurgitating other people's words and muddying the message with our own cognitive flaws
This is sadly true... Although I always love watching people who talk about these sort of issues I always come to a painfully sickening realization that the message is not for me. I already understand, but the people who struggle, the people who just don't get it, the people who are uniformed, the people who desperately need it the most usually reject it. They are quick to call it stupid, mindless, BS, etc.

Hahaha You funny dude.
💜
I have to watch this video now and then. So I don´t forget that, I am not alone.
I am not alone in the world with these thoughts, you are not alone.
We´re not crazy.
The World we live in, is.
Very true - don't forget that :)
Marcus Nederlundh me too 💕
No, you're crazy, get used to it.
unfortunately Russell's as crazy as a Rothschild without a sex slave, he'd know he was fucking one at the time, probably as well as anything else in sight. No, that's not anti Semitic Judaism's just the religion the elite hide behind, but hey, its o.k for the media to associate a terrorist with islam, but telling the truth that evil zionist's create and control the global economy with illusory funds they imagined in one of their satanic wet dreams, is somehow just not politically correct these day's, i wonder why?. I wouldn't exclude Russell from the fabric of this insane world, though he hides it well, in truth he epitomises it.
You're not alone.
I’d love to see Russell Brand and Jim Carrey have a conversation
Yes!
Me too!!!!!!!!!!
Try watching Wim Hof and Sadhguru having a conversation, alot more woke than Russell and Jim.
Me too

@@kozmik4293 he recognises those traits and contradictions and mentions it several in the video. Did you even watch it before making words?
I got goosebumps the moment he said "I'm awake now"

Consciousness is bliss. Knowledge is power. Namaste.
Spirituality is a dead-end, rationality and disillusionment is the only prudent path forward. Sappy feelings are the trap that lead life to absolute peril. DNA coated the life trap, with a substance that seemed deep and sweet, but now we finally know better: efilism.fandom.com/wiki/Efilism_Wiki

@@thelordsatanx9535 Salaam, greetings of peace. I checked out the page you shared and I would like to present to you as a Muslim who believes and is convinced of God and His existence, that I am logically, rationally, spiritually and completely content that the core teachings of the religion of Islam provide humanity satisfactory answers to the fundamental questions of our life on Earth: 'Where did I come from? Why am I Here? and Where am I Going?' as well as dealing with common complicated issues of suffering, pain, good and evil and more adequately and satisfactorily. The philosophy you are calling towards in my view is a warped, deeply nihilistic, hopeless worldview. Its principles seem twisted and extremely convoluted in attempting to explain the meaning and reality of life, and the conclusions it arrives at are disheartening, dangerous and harmful. I would invite you to consider whether you think your username 'TheLordSatan X' itself sits well with you in your heart? Whether you believe in the devil and the unseen demonic forces or not (which Islam confirms they, in fact, do exist, in both spirit and human form), the idea of worshipping a being who wants evil, corruption, hatred and annihilation spread upon the Earth doesn't seem like a thing worthy of worship, rather the direct opposite. God, Allah, whatever name you give to the One transcendant being who made us, made the universe perfectly, as He wanted it with its beauty and complexity. He did not create us in vain, nor did He leave us without guidance. There must be signs which point towards His existence within what He created for us to recognise Him, and the greatest miracle He sent down exists as His words, contained in the Holy Qur'an, preserved word-for-word, unlike initially pure scriptures like the Old/New testament and Torah which have had alterations, omissions and additions made to them since they were first revealed to previous prophets of God.
I humbly invite you to research what Islam truly invites to, and not to form an opinion or prejudice based off what the media or people say about Muslims and the faults in the actions of certain people who claim to represent and practise this faith. If you are interested, please choose to go directly to the source by having a read of a Qur'an translation and a reliable explanation so that it can be understood without misinterpretation or error, and see for yourself what God says, and determine whether you can understand, if not accept, the overwhelmingly logical, rational arguments, scientific proofs and miracles inside the book, the answers it provides on the unseen which science and human measurement never can, the life after death and more.
A simple invite from your brother in humanity is all this is - may God guide us all towards simplicity, mercy and the truth, and allow us to accept the truth with humility when it is presented to us, Ameen. I have linked a few resources below for anybody interested, and would love to continue the conversation if anybody has a yearning towards Truth and discovering the meaning of our temporary, human life on Earth before our eternal life hereafter begins once we take our last breath:

I think the same way but when I talk to people about it they just laugh.
+Alexandre Gareau Very well put ive been focusing on language and could still stand to learn more but will divert focus a little. Conserve more of that energy towards using language for putting my view into words for myself instead of to others. Peace and love.
+Lee Woo Try to put in terms they can understand
I would give you babies:)
+G-đica Radoman I think that is one of the highest compliments one can give or receive.
+Lee Woo If I may be so bold as to offer unsolicited advice, I suggest taking comfort in the knowledge that no one actually sees you, whether their story of you is wonderful or degraded, it is their story. You are bigger than any story. That goes for you as well, dear reader.
I edited this video and it in my opinion is a lot more powerful with the music it wouldnt of been shared nearly as much without it so I apologise to whoever dislikes it but the message is whats important and I am doing my best to spread the message to as many people as possible, hope you understand x
hes illuminati LOL
don't get me wrong he fooled me too for a long time
***** I dunno how you can listen to the words and think he's linked to evil ? although he could explain his links to his mrs and her family :-D
Wow, this was really moving actually. I thought the score would undercut the gravity of the message, but it surprisingly worked in its favor. Well done.
I really don't understand why everyone has to put loud music over people speaking, you have to struggle to hear him, it's very distracting. At least lower the volume of it if you must have music. What's wrong with just hearing what's being said.
Only s spiritually awakened person can speak like this. Feel love.
Yes 💖👍
Donald J achintya Idam blog, the point is nothing is new, this doesn’t really matter because someone has done it before and said the exact same things, you get yourself to go.
Demonic forces also have the power to speak like this as well
Demonic entities can disguise themselves as spiritual...so be careful my friend
he's just saying, what people want to hear
AAH , you might be right, yet a real awakened person wouldn‘t do so...
This is hands down my favourite video of all time. It resonates so deeply. I watch it regularly to pull me back into the spiritual when modern expectations become too much.
Me too, thanks i needed your comment
We are by nature spiritual people. And indeed, if we refuse our spiritual side, we suffer.
Hey! you're an ASMR artist....
I agree with you but, at the same time I recognize that we are 'disoriented' when it comes to spirituality.
We have been confused by the religious dogmas of society.
Spirituality is freedom while religion is limit.
Spirituality teaches you about your greatness, your wholesomeness as being the Universe manifesting itself through a mortal body.
Religion is about you being the origing of "guilt" and "punishment" because of 2 disobedient people. It teaches you that you are imperfect.
Or we dont . . . . . . Its not really something you can quantify because there is no way to prove the supposition. Im a spiritual free zone and an atheist and im very happy.
@@marias7599 Even then that’s not entirely what religion teaches. You’re looking at the negative aspect of it. All of that is just what is so commonly accepted by the masses. The Bible is full of metaphors, not concrete/direct statements.

beautifully said. honesty prevails
He has so much clarity, energy and charisma that it's mind blowing. Super intelligent and beautiful man. Love it 🙏🏼💞
His appearance is irrelevant. Yes he may be attractive, but listen to what he’s saying. If you’re not sure what he’s saying. It’s that we cannot define God through words and thoughts. But it should be about unity and love
I hope Russell Brand has seen this. He deserves to see his efforts appreciated
Yes He Does.
he already knows... #selflove
There's a reason most celebrities become awakened - we're brought up in a world designed around consumerism and social status. Once people get all the fame, money, and power they start to realize that none of it is the true meaning of life.
I think it was either John Lennon or George Harrison who said that the Beatles turned to eastern spirituality because when you accomplish at a very young age what most people work their whole lives to, you turn around and go "well, what next?"
***** I'm aware. Harrison is more my role model.
I seriously doubt that. Maybe one here and there at most.
I've seen this video a million times because it sort of makes me "click" and reminds me of the grand illusion that is always in front of us. It is now the first time that I notice how well chosen the music is. I always felt captivated by this video, not only for the message it gives, but also because of the background music. Well done dude!
This Was Fantastic!!
So many woke people here in comments, we are change
This man is not just an intellectual genius he is a leader to guide people through the demons he has faced…Respect.🙌🏽❤️
Brand is so much wiser than I realized. Respect... he speaks the truth.
*****
wouldnt be the first thing you were wrong about....your anti semitism is disgusting and you dont belong on a comments section like this..unless that is, you want to give us all a lesson in irony
You deleted my posts from your video....was that because you couldnt answer the questions i asked or was it because youre scared of the truth?
you would do well to listen to Brand.....and maybe try to apply it to your own life
This is Russel Brand's pure and honest truth. Whether you agree, whether you're cynical and shy of a perspective or two, whether you just don't want to listen to anything that challenges your beliefs or whether you just don't really agree, it cannot be denied that Brand uses every platform regardless of the show's tone, the type of audience, the reason why he's there... every platform is used not for entertainment and ego, but to promote a solution for a better world. As much as people will proclaim this guy as a wacko and some false prophet... it is ridiculous to discredit that Brand's intentions are for peace, Love, unity and equality. Russel speaks with conviction on behalf of humans... finding his logic from observing humanity and the lack of information we know about humanity, whilst not strictly choosing science or religion and using his flaws learned through cultural lessons to recognize that we can and should change these cultural lessons in order to develop positively. Even if you're the biggest cynic in the world, understanding this as selfless intent is surely inevitable.
Are those the choices?! All very well if you can gloss over the fact that brands political and ideological epiphany seems to have conveinently occurred around the same time that he had to flee the country with his tail between his legs after several high profile examples of political incorrect behaviour on the stage and radio.
For me it's not about his cod philosophy which makes about as much sense as owning a unicorn that shits out £20 notes, or even the fact that he proselytises on equality from a sequinned soapbox in the back of his multi-million dollar LA mansion, or for the fact he is unable to give an interview without mentioning with ultra studied self-deprecation that he was once the coolest druggie.
For me it's the fact that i see him for what he is, a phoney! The fact that all this new found political messiah for the disaffected youth is going little to achieve any change or engagement, whilst serving mainly to rescue his flagging career as a shite actor and comedian.
He is celebrity posturing at its very worst, with a substantial portion of hubris thrown in for bad measure. He should get back to hoaxing rape helplines and leaving nasty and cruel phone messages for old men. He was so much more adept at that than been a rhinestone revolutionary.
John Erskine I guess, tragically, in this world, we are allowed to witness ones life via media and make judgments and criticisms, however, please know that some of your judgments are based on your mediated perspective and personal view of his talent.
Stop looking at the man you think he is, listen to what he's saying. Even if he is a phony and for the sake of the argument lets say he is, what difference does it actually make?
He's not all knowing, all seeing. Even if he is advancing his own agenda, the agenda is to gain perspective of whats important in the world.
You can deny all you want but if the Prime Minister turned around in 2015 and decided to spend every day raising awareness for peace, unity and supporting positive change, holding his hands up for all the shit he's done, I wouldn't let myself become tainted by his past, but support and forgive.
A revolution isn't a leader giving instructions, it is the individuals' feelings coming together to create a mass feeling of dissatisfaction. Only when in mass, can a feeling create a revolution.
Russell Brand... the brand you can trust.
and the Russell to your jimmies.
Lol you need to copyright this phrase that sya when they use it in a movie you grt royalties lol
100%
I read that comment in the voice of the wolf in ur pic lol
6 years ago... i still come back to this
When you have no clue about any of this stuff, you take some mushrooms, and suddenly you see something, feel something, experience something you realize is bigger than your physical body. That was the first door i opened
Same man psychedelics can be keys to locked areas of your spirit! Happened to me first with LSD.
+Rob Miller I have the feeling that if I had them, knowing my personality and the way my brain solves problems, I would have a terrible time... What's your opinion about "bad trips"?
+ばけねこ化け猫 just remember if you ever do them that you have to detach from the pain. Behind the whims of emotion lies enlightenment. Shrooms grant you the power to transcend easily. If you give into the pain you will descend down the spiral rather than ascend.
ramalama246
Thank you for the kind explanation :)
Exactly what happened to me! However, it took some time before I really appreciated and valued the lessons learned from the experience, it was too much for me to understand all at once!
I listened to this the first time while watching the video. The second time I listened only while I had headphones on as youtube autoplayed my liked videos. The message is so much stronger without the visual distraction. Don’t let your mind get distracted and just listen to this in its entirety. A great message
Russel Brand and then Jim Carrey whos going to wake up next?
They been woke just not openly woke
These two need to meet and have a chat that is recorded and streamed live
Me hopefully
Currently Kanye West
+indigo Sam bahaha
this was wonderfully edited and perhaps one of my new favorite videos on the internet
For me as well Natasha! :)
it takes a few scrolls down just to prove Russel's point.
***** Nice words! I use to feel the same when ppl forcing their lies :)

***** wow that's so deep that Adelle is rolling in it. Excuse me while i put this sentence in my big book of favourite sentences.
i dont see how anyone disagrees this is pretty much how i feel all the time
I thought I didn't like Russell Brand; I was wrong.
You can not like something he says,
Whilst still liking the overall person & visq versa.. j
I love Humanity, while I sometimes hating Humans
had the same thought last yr. the fucker is quite brilliant and very woke
Russell Brand, you are one intelligent enlightened dude !!!!!!!
And you would know of course.
holy fuck. I never knew how intelligent he was. I feel like an ant.
Charlie Crome damn i saw this death grips picture, have a nice day
You are and `ant` Charlie. Signific `ant`. Have a wonderful week.
Are you fucking serious.
You think that but you dont know what teacher he had.Knowledge of Yoga comes from Indian Masters
You don't reach enlightenment through intelligence.
You just feel it
I don't believe in God or Gods but I find his underlying message of togetherness and love to be quite beautiful. Russell Brand is an amazing human being.
man I wish I had this to watch about 20 years ago when I was heading into my twenties! I would have done things a lot differently and I am sure been a much happier person.
There was plenty of this kind of stuff out there then. You could have found it easily if you would have really been interested. People just love to kid themselves. All of us.
Doesn’t matter, time is essentially irrelevant all that matters is your awake now. ❤️
Well , you can share your experience with someone like me in his twenties.
I’m turning 20 this year. Is there any advice you could give me ? My parents really wanted me to study accounting and I tried it for a year. I then changed my major to psychology. I want to understand the human mind, and myself, more...
Russel Brand for president !
ive been looking everywhere for someone else awake.
now i just really need to have a conversation with this man
Jubey- Ivan Richard Ashcroft
no not many are awake!!
There are many more like him
Anon Mus it takes time my friend...i wish you luck
It's a transgender woman
The revelation of thoughts takes men out of servitude and into freedom.
this video has saved my life twice now....
You are loved brother
Russell is awoken.
music fitting perfectly to the video. nice job.
DJ Mithril agreed. Do you happen to know the track?
THE REAL REVOLUTION
I love to wind down my yoga session with this video. it makes me turn inward every time and relax into my body and find (or at least start seeking) wholeness and healing. it helps me to remember to care for myself after periods of neglect. Russell reminds me to love myself. I even often think twice and show love to the flies in my house. Thanks so much for compiling this beautiful masterpiece. 💜👍✌
I've just now watched it to remind myself about a bandwidth I wasn't on before watching it. It helps orientate me to my own highest frequency.
Nothing like 'turning inwards' and focusing on the most important thing in the world... ourself. How spiritual!
The world needs this right now... surprised there are not more 2020 comments.. 💛
Indeed
Cool vid. I really like Russell. Really interesting character and he has an awesome way of articulating his thoughts on a whole nother level
It;s actually pretty amazing to listen to. He is a constant stream of fact and truth, if that makes any sense lol.
Humanity is growing up and maturing but a small portion is fighting the change
Unfortunately anyone who attempts to explain this ends up sounding life they are "Fruit Loops".
txhypnotist he does. LOL
txhypnotist The Dao is that which cannot be explained. The more we say, the further away we get from it. But his intention is right.
@Cis White Male With Extra Privilege try dmt/ayahuasca and try that comment again...lol
@Cis White Male With Extra Privilege ok here is some logic for you
Dmt is a natural chemical found in 80% of all living creatures...its produced when you sleep meditate die or have a near death experience
are born or are In a coma
Dmt can also been found in trees and leaves of plants...the amazonians found a way to use dmt orally also known as ayahuasca.it also can be crystalized named changa or dmt christals.
You're welcome some logic way older than your sorry ass we use this stuff for more than million years.
@Cis White Male With Extra Privilege it's not even a drug dumbass it's inside you right now does that make you a addict then?? Its responsible for dreaming maybe you should read a book ignorant dumbass
I watch this video every week.
Still watching...
Russell's words are deeply affecting me, but the music makes this video even more touching.
i never new how down to earth this dude is ..media made him look like a jackass
Original Hiphop G Well he changed a lot. He was a bit of a jackass
@@Curi0uss0uL yeah man, he was the biggest douchebag on the planet bag in those big brother days, but he grew up! Very nice change to be honest.
Channel PTX I couldn’t stand to look at him back then 😂 Fan now 😎
Channel PTX was he still on drugs during big brother days?
@@Curi0uss0uL same here I hated his guts and now I sometimes foundmyself bingewatching his videos and his channel on youtube XD lol
This video should be shared around the world
Shocking thing is this is 7 years old, imagine what he has to say today, much more
Have you watched his youtube recently?
I always REALLY disliked him but stumbling across this video while I am in the middle of my enlightenment process made me light up with joy!! He was definitely the last person I would guess who took this journey to awareness.
Same feel
hes a great man, glad you have changed your mind
+Jo Im be open minded
Last person? I mean, he looks out there person. Doesn't really surprise me. I think the most basic people are the ones that need to explore more. For him, he's adrenalized person. Normal isnt deep enough.
Girrrrrrrrlll me too lol then I watched his stand up and thought woah russel is actually smart. Then I saw this and thought wow he is truly amazing.
How people can watch this and then leave negative comments, state of the times we live in, gotta love it! Great compilation in every way, great vid! Thanks 4 putting I together and sharing!
Thank you Robert!
I've watched this video more times than I can count. I love it, I live it, thank you.
Whenever I feel down, I watch this video!! Never heard somebody expressing such a profound views on life and spirituality!
Whenever I feel down I watch Caddy Shack. Works just as well.
You're awesome Russell. Thank you for speaking so fast and with such accurate vocabulary, on such a beautiful topic. I am also awake.
Omg this was awesome. I actually felt a change inside me as I was watching and listening to this. This word get used a lot but this was truly amazing.
That's beautiful and I'm happy for you!:)
Russell brand is a chap who's personality resonates! His initial tool is humour, but I could listen to this articulate human talk all day!
I truly respect this man and his journey.
Ahh everytime i listen to this i get tears... something deep in me knows he is spot on!
love this guy..such an old soul, no doubt
I totally agree, have a Great day .
i'm an old (dover) sole --- do i count?
He spends a huge chunk of his personal time trying to do right. Trying to help others while admitting he himself needs help too. He does these things without seeking anything in return.He doesn't flash it in the press and only draws attention to it when it is necessary for the purpose of spreading knowledge.He's struggled with multiple addictions an behaviors. He doesn't claim to see himself as a guru or enlightened, he just awake. He want's us all to wake up.
I feel some people think that he's crazy for talking fast, but he sounds very passionate about what he's speaking about.
Such a smart and loving man
Look at the faces of the people that we are asked to vote for as our leaders!!!!.... LOOK AT THEM! Feel ot with your HEART!...
Fouad Kurban THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT MEANT TO BE LEADING US!!!!! Been saying it for years...
Why do so many people need evidence of a higher realm of consciousness as incentive to improve themselves as conscious beings? If our ancestors thought that way, we wouldn't have the luxury of this conversation right now. 90% of what Russell says is just his own interpretation of objective common sense and logic. All he's saying is stop getting caught up in the material world which is transient, and focus more on the things that truly matter. Because, like it or not, you're gonna lose everything you acquire in this life. All that is real and infinite is your experience of the present moment. So focus more on the present and live here and now, and stop worrying about the future or the past or our superficial differences and focus more on creating a better present and a stronger, healthier community. That's the only way we'll ever have a future to look forward to or a history to be proud of. And you do that by doing whatever you can to improve yourself and (gently & respectfully) encourage others to improve themselves, wherever and whenever you can, with compassion and diligence. That's the only way to improve *our* reality. This requires strong mental discipline and emotional control, which is a result of active meditation and self-reflection. It's that simple - if you can't understand this relatively basic concept of 'expanding conscious awareness' (ie. improving your sphere of perception and influence)... then you have much to learn young Jedi.
But that's ok - we all do, no matter what our level of conscious evolution. Even the most enlightened of monks still have more to learn - or else they wouldn't spend their lifetimes in contemplation. Even the Dalai Lama still spends several hours a day in contemplation of himself and his relationship to manifested reality, and he has been meditating daily without fail for over *70 years*. So if you really want to understand what Russell's going on about, then you need to be patient with others (but most importantly *yourself*), and start somewhere that feels more comfortable to you, and go at your own pace. Listen to other teachers like Krishnamurti or Alan Watts or whoever captures your attention the right way. Russell Brand isn't for everyone - and that's perfectly understandable. The man is a verified lunatic, enlightened or otherwise. But what he's trying to say is a relatively simple matter of fact - the past is only a *result* of the present, and the future is only a *consequence* of the present. So it all quite literally starts here and *now* - so try to make the most of that simple but often overlooked truth as often as you possibly can, and always be mindful of what is music and what is noise. Our lives are full of noise, but very little music. We were born to play and listen to music - not make and suffer noise. Otherwise we wouldn't have developed the ability to perceive music from noise.
If we all just spent more time in the present, then we'd all spend less time blaming the past while we fuck up the future. What's so bad about that? Isn't life worth celebrating, preserving and improving? Whoever denies that is denying their own nature, and their own destiny. We are meant to be benevolent beings of conscious power and infinite creative potential. Not consumers and psychopaths and employees and drug addicts. Something went wrong here, and Russell is trying to encourage us and inspire us to find ways to fix it. I personally think that's a noble and respectable thing to do with one's time; especially when one has as much money and influence as Russell. He could spend the rest of his days indulging himself in excess of magnitudes some middle-class men would kill for. But he chooses to do this: speak his truth and be ridiculed for it constantly, publicly and irrationally. And I find that encouraging and inspiring. If all of us had that courage then we wouldn't be living in a world where these kinds of constructive and holistic ideas are so taboo.
Russell is trying to address the symptoms from their cause, not merely treat the symptoms, as we've been doing for centuries with no success. That to me is an important and necessary role that needs to be filled by a wise and fearless leader who is willing to rally people and shake them from their apathetic slumber, and the fact that Russell Brand is the only public figure with the balls to do it is, quite frankly, an embarrassment on the rest of the world - as he himself has said. But someone's gotta do it. If it's not going to be you, and it's not going to be me, then it might as well be Russell.
PS. I forgot an integral point: I say all this as a complete and utter hypocrite. I am just as much a part of the problem as you, the person who needs to read this. The only difference is that I, like Russell, have the courage and humility to admit that. And it's that very attitude that will save us from our own flaws. Because all change starts by admitting that change is needed. That's the first step. The rest falls into place after that, even if it takes a while. But without that first step, the others never happen. But the important thing to take away from all this is that all steps happen *now*, in the present. Everything else is literally an illusion; albeit a convincing one.
+drugstorerecords Brilliant comment. This is a really great explanation of everything. I'm saving it :)
+drugstorerecords Excellently written. Your thoughts certainly deserve a more dignified entry than the comment section of a TH-cam video. Have you studied Socrates at all? I found a few similarities between Plato's account of his philisophy and that of yours.
P.S. The Star Wars reference is a welcome touch!
+drugstorerecords This comment cannot be upvoted enough. Your explanation is concise and presents what people see as "mystical" into a much more practical approach. I am saving these words as well and I encourage you to share them.
Thank you
You're quite the preacher. I enjoyed your little rant. I you really want a leader we had one in George Carlin but people just listen, get all excited and then forget about it in a few days or months. If that was not true this world would have changed for the better long ago. But instead we're about to go extinct hopefully.
How many people watched this video a 100 times!!?
Hopefully not many.

Imagine if everyone started thinking this way! what a change we could make
We are getting there ;)
Great man, very intelligent. I like this guy!
I find amazing that many of the criticisms that are directed toward him, are in relation to the antics of his past, his drug use, that he's a celebrity, a comedian, they criticize the way he looks, the way he talks, his accent, his mannerisms and his often hyperactive personality...but this plays into exactly what this brilliant man is speaking of: We give too focus on the superficial, highlight things that are irrelevant and arbitrary, and lose sight of what's truly important. Don't judge him for the mold that we as a society have placed on him. He has transcended into an insightful, compassionate, loving and very enlightened human being! A true inspiration.
Haters gotta hate, but anyone who believes in love, compassion, empathy and collectiveness is a legend as far as I am concerned!!!!!
They hate on the messenger and miss the message.

It's a well known tactic: the ad hominem logical fallacy.
Anthony Townsend I belive people hate on him and others like him because they are stuck in a rut and would love to become enlightened like Russell has/is. it's all down to jealousy and resentment imo. only now at 35 I am starting to see the bigger picture and it's quite the journey. I have a long way to go though, but I feel it's a much better path to be on than my unconscious past self! I am waking up and trying to live in the now...my main goal is to be nicer to the people around me, even the ones that I don't particularly like or the ones that annoy me. it's a journey this life, for sure.
Simply beautiful!!! We all need this message in our lives! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace" Jimi Hendrix
I love that quote
Love love love his message and his way of thinking, it is very in sync with what I feel, believe and want for existence and everyone in it.
Love the song choice from my favorite movie of all times!!!! Fantastic video Timothy!
Thank you so much!
This is something we should watch every single day until it becomes automatic in our lives!
Incredible that someone who was once the most immature, jumped-up fuck in Britain has become a genuine pillar for society to awaken itself. Perhaps the fact that he has sobered up and become spiritual has caused this,but whatever it was, he is admirable and the things he say inspire me regularly. One of the most socially and spiritually intelligent people in the public eye.
now he's somebody I'd like to talk to and have good conversations !
Russell's spiritual awakening has been beautiful to watch over the years. As a Christian I like and agree with a lot of what he says. My own awakening started when I chose to follow Christ. I test everything through the lens of "What would Jesus do (or say) about this?" Without His daily guidance I'd be lost.
Music is awesome whoever chose it! Clint Mansel and Mogwai....fire!
Around 3:12 to 3:20 "I've been part of the charade, but I'm awake now".
Wow it did blow my mind. Iv been there. Through meditation. I understand him. I'm so happy it's happened to an extremely intelligent celeb.
this is one of my favorite videos on youtube. thanks for this.
I listen to this at least every 6 months and never gets old. I’ve always felt this way but was never able to express it the way Brand did. At 6:09 is the best way I can describe my relationship with God
Thank you. I truly honour Russell and have the upmost respect and love and honour in reverence for him and his message. He walks his talk in all ways with his relationships and in all of life. Thank you
i was like him the moment i awakened, i talked about things i wouldn't normally say, it was like an overclock of my brain, people at work were staring at me while at the same time smiling, im an introvert kind of person, i don't talk to people nor smile to them, it was a weird experience. but at the same time, fulfilling.
What are you like now?
So much respect for his approach to sharing his self awakening. Very direct, very enlightening, and most importantly; inspiring. Love this guy
" The dead human ape."- Brilliant.
_"The only thing that matters to any of us is Love."_
Thanks, Russell, that's a great pickup line ;o)
Many public figures and so called "celebrities" pass one after another making a good living thanks to our mediocre consciousness or lack of it; hardly anyone is saying meaningful things that make us stop and think, or will express what can help us as a species, that will make us grow. Here is an exception....Those who have eyes will see, and those that have ears will hear.
Thank you so much. Russel is able to easily articulate many of the feelings, beliefs, and truths that are close to my heart. I am def going to watch this a second time so that I can explain better to others around me.
Thank you Russel for fighting the good fight. If everyone would wake up we could overthrow the greedy bastards and take care of each other.
The best part of listening to him, is that he stone sober.....what an inspiration he is to ourselves and the world around us
He's such a poetic person
I love this video, and I thank you, Timothy, for making it available. I have listened to it several times in the last few years. Every time I am so impressed with what Russell Brand has to say. Such great and preponderant Truth, and not about the messenger, as he is among many, but the Truth of the message, so easy to get caught up in the distractions and to forget. Namaste, all blessings, Isa
Easy to relate to. Great edit. Thank you. Please world, wake up!!!
I watched this video on Facebook today, it's literally the absolute best video I've ever watched!
The true ocean of happiness and peace we can find with the help of meditation and every single person on this earth got that treasure inside them but blindly we are looking that treasure outside in material world.we just need to look deep inside ourself with the help of meditation and there is that endless blissfull journey waiting for you to nock the door of peace and joy.😊🙏🙏
This video enabled my wake up 5 years ago. Thank so much for putting it together.
Too beautiful for words..
Sweet. Thanks for making this Tim. Awesome to see this coming from you and your continued engagement to help assist in the expansion of consciousness. Looking forward to chatting with you again in the future.
russell is extremely smart and wise
Love this! Thank you, Russell Brand! Music is helpful! Tears of JOY for you speaking TRUTH! Namaste!
This really made me think. Thank you for this great video.
