I have just come across your channel, you seem like a such a lovely soul Lucas. I am a Reggae singer from London, but I'm also appreciate these kind of dialogues. who knows: maybe we'll have a chat one day. love and light.
Hey congrats for pulling off a Bruce Tift interview with such a small channel! He's so underrated! I found his work last year and was really kind of surprised to find so few interviews with him and to see he's pretty unknown amongst the infinite buffet of spiritual "teachers"we have access to online and I thought it was a bit of a shame because his way of talking about this I think is very helpful and simple and pragmatic and actually ideal for most people. "I give myself permission to never experience what I most want in life" was 🔥🔥🔥 and reminds me of Loch Kelly's "what's here now when there's no problem to solve?" Check out James Low! They have similar teaching styles, both former therapist with a Vajrayana background but if you want to lean more into the Dzogchen and listen to longer talks, please check him out, he's awesome!

Thank you much for the James Low reference. Very good and helpful.
Your beyond welcome, thank you for thanking me, it literally made my day to see someone found value in that
Thank you for these recommendations!
1:14:40 Man, that - and so much else - was excellent! By trying to stay away from a feeling, I'm only feeding it!
Great stuff
This looks like it's gonna be spectacular!
I concur, but 0230 probably wasn’t the best time to discover this TH-cam channel. I guess I’ll try again to sleep tomorrow 😅
