Wonderfull and I love the way Steve is listening to George, this is creating by listening and the result is space for creation and do not beat your own drum. Wow ❤
For all those who are looking for the essence of this talk, it is simply this: those who come to know the three principles start to feel that “life is nicer without really working on it.”That’s it, that’s all! 22:50 Thanks Dr. Pransky for taking Mr. Banks seriously.
My aunt had cancer when she was in her 40s. She insisted that she was going to see her sons grow up. She died within a year. It’s not fair to say she must’ve had some other thought. She was very convinced she would recover.
Thanks for sharing. It is saddening that the aunt's thoughts about a longer life did not come to fruition. I am confident the principles do not suggest that her thoughts or desires were wrong. My understanding is that the guiding intention is that if she, including you and I, recognise we all have times when we burden ourselves with a high investment in the content or outcome of our thoughts (in our imagination), we are missing the opportunity for calmness and contentment. I may have desperately wanted my child to finish their chosen degree, and I became devastated when they changed to a different degree halfway through. Eight years later, with a new baby and a teaching job offering unlimited casual hours that would never have been available in every part of the country, it certainly beats the limited opportunities available to an economist. Plus, she has an additional home-based job tutoring economics students! If only I did not let my thoughts govern my feelings and reduce the well-being of both of us. Thanks for your interest and contribution. I hope I have offered something worth pondering and that it helps you focus on immediately feeling good and reconfigure your thoughts of the pleasant times with your dear aunt. I kick myself when I RE-imagine all those hours of argument and pleading as such a waste. Oh dear me, here I go, entertaining another unproductive thought, and we both know it won't go well for me if I persist. I am off to let the dog take me for a walk and tidy my imagination. Very best wishes from Western Australia.
Thoughts are just one dimension. But our truths come from feelings and emotions which are nothing to do with thoughts. And feelings and emotions are the true powerhouse of our being.
I feel like this is for somebody who already gets it because I’m 40 minutes in and I still don’t have any idea what he’s talking about. What does he mean by consciousness and how do you raise it? Is the individual the actual creator and controller of thought? I’m writing this about halfway through. Maybe these questions will be answered in the second half.
Thought and mind are very close words in our general understanding. That was a mistake! Do yuo think the 3P stuff is in relation with both therapy and spiritualuty? At the same level? Thanks.
Sou brasileira e resido no Brasil. Gostaria que os vídeos tivessem legenda em português. O Brasil possui mais de 200 milhões de habitantes. Além do vídeo não ter legenda em português, nenhum livro do Dr. George Pransky está traduzido para o português. Várias pessoas poderiam ser beneficiadas se os vídeos tivessem legenda em português e se os livros do Dr. George Pransky fossem traduzidos para o português. Infelizmente isso não aconteceu até o presente momento. É uma pena!
Verdade!! Só o Revolução do Pensamento do Michael Neill...o único sobre 3P que tem traduzido...apesar que não gostei muito...já li outros livros sobre 3P em inglês que achei muito melhores...abs
I know this is a rather exaggerated sample, but should a spouse who is being consistently assaulted by the other spouse supposed to get over it? Is it only thinking that makes that a difficult situation? Is the only problem that one of them is thinking he shouldn’t be hitting me?she shouldn’t be spending all our money without talking to me?
But the story he told about his wife and he having a disagreement included. The wife’s thought that she was glad they knew what they knew. That seems to me to be an example of thinking affecting the situation. I guess sometimes understanding is a kind of thinking. Or maybe the understanding happens at some kind of visceral level, and then gets expressed as words.
What's with the woman coming into the room with the paper? And how about Linda standing out in the hall, staring at the camera? Really makes you appreciate what a kind, understanding & patient man George is. Wow!
Hi George. I hope to point to some statements that simply are not true so we can all reflect on it. That which you call George is an experience, it is not creating any experience, it is being experienced. When experience assumes that is actually experiencing, it is like an autopilot hijacking a plane assuming to be the pilot, it is just an ego. Once there is a realisation that the thinker, the person, is an experience (a thought) and not the experiencer then the following (you stated) does not anymore make sense: Anyone who realises those three principles will experience a higher level of consciousness. We are part of much larger scheme and intelligent system and in this system we have our role. Mind is the energy behind this and that which makes possible for us to create our experience. You have a free will. We are part of something much bigger than ourselves.
I’m glad to hear someone else say it. I keep trying to understand what they mean by thought because it does not seem to be just the flow of sentences that we perceive as being in our heads. It seems like it would’ve been better to make up terms, because what they mean by mind, consciousness, and thought is not the same as what we mean when we talk about it in daily life. Why muddy it so much? I have the same complaint about Zen, because Zen they use the word mind and it doesn’t mean the same thing every time they use it. It’s very sloppy philosophically.

George, thank you for your honesty💙 and for
sharing this powerful information.
I love listening to George. And he’s very down to earth.

While listening this talk from George Pransky, I had 2 great insights. Thanks George.
What were they?
Fabulous introduction and history of the Three Principles and the reason to not miss this incredible conference!!!
I just listened to this whole thing and I don’t feel like I understand it one bit better.
Thoughts are just one dimension. But our truths come from feelings and emotions which are nothing to do with thoughts. And feelings and emotions are the true powerhouse of our being.
Thats a thougt :)
What truths come from feelings and emotions? And don’t feelings and emotions basically the same thing?
I feel like this is for somebody who already gets it because I’m 40 minutes in and I still don’t have any idea what he’s talking about. What does he mean by consciousness and how do you raise it? Is the individual the actual creator and controller of thought? I’m writing this about halfway through. Maybe these questions will be answered in the second half.
So true! How many therapists are happy? “Then they’re in the wrong profession George.”
Thought and mind are very close words in our general understanding. That was a mistake! Do yuo think the 3P stuff is in relation with both therapy and spiritualuty? At the same level? Thanks.
And more important...the message.

Interesting that this is basically what Allan Watts was on about!
Which didn’t do much for Watts’s alcoholism. But he did seem like a pretty happy man who lived life on his own terms.
There were like 100 people or there were 100 people in London?
No one explains the principles well not even Pransky. LOL

If only Sydney Banks was here to talk to Israel and Hamas.
