    There is a point during growth when a person feels a need to expel everything he has learned. After he is empty, he can begin to grow again.

    My name is favio and I’m from California
    I Just want to say thank you so much for sharing this I’ve been at a weird place and almost feel like I’m losing my mind at times but this brought great comfort knowing that what I’ve been experiencing is not me going crazy but me figuring out where I’m supposed to go and it’s always in the direction of being a love,but you just reminded me to stay on track and trust the higher power leaving me the bread crumbs to follow THAANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUi hope we meet one day I would love to give you a hug brother keep doing what you’re doing :)

    Namaste, I will never forget that my initial reaction to the idea of being the Great Divine mystery was fear and not wanting to be That. More and more I'm working on acceptance to That which Is. Pointless to fear Truth and reality.

    For me, I experience my body as so unlimited. Every time I engage with it consciously I am amazed at the potential of the body. How so much of it can change. Fascia and the consciousness running through it. It's just absolutely divine.

    I just wanted to share that when you mentioned the numbers, I looked at the clock and it was 4:44. My mind just tried to downplay it of course. Am just one regular person that bumped into all These things and it's been mind blowing and so confusing. The deeper I try to go into this the more confusing it gets so I wanna accept the 4:44 as a comfirmation despite my mind telling me that am delusional. Thank you for this video.

    When you discussed the distinction between truth and perception, it brought to mind an analogy of a computer or smartphone. The applications and desktop interface represent what we perceive-simplified and user-friendly. In contrast, the motherboard and internal operating system, which remain out of sight, symbolize the underlying truth that’s far more complex and essential to the device’s function

I felt I was done and I needed to move to the next stage and this has been my 10Y or less journey of searching why I am such a loner and I am ok with it as it is difficult to mingle with other I always feel like I don't belong here! And I want to understand why? I'm definitely been guided...

  • @Mcgif21
    @Mcgif21 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I used to think much as you about what our modern culture calls “synchronicities” but really anything in this dream of life can speak to us in some way. It’s like reading tea leaves, if you simply look around the room for some intuitional insight it will come to you through something, because it was God (or our Inner and Truer Self) who sent the desire or suggestion to do so at that time and place in the first place anyway.

    For me, when I dance, I follow this force I can hear inside the body. When I do my intuitive somatic practice, the same thing but more like I'm orchestrating the symphony. I wonder if that's what the experiential truth of me is.

    ...Imagine having a full cup of coffee and you need to carry it to your desk, if you concentrate on not spilling it, you will. But if you just pick it up and pay it no mind, not a drop will be spilled... Not that i've mastered the non spill yet, i'm still working on not working on it.

  • @franceslock1662
    @franceslock1662 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Kabbalah involves the spiritual significance of number and letter symbols. It’s not confusing to me. The subconscious has access to the universe and beyond. Many of us have likely had spiritual experiences, and intuitive experiences beyond our body and conscious minds. A mother’s love for her children is eternal and beyond ego. I know because I have adult sons and a long term foster child who I could never stop loving. I agree there is a part of us that doesn’t want us to realize our potential and our full capacity.

    For me that something else is experienced most deeply IN my body, not separate from it. Is that really strange? Does anyone else have this experience?

  • @FullyPresentNow
    @FullyPresentNow หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Understand and agree with everything you’re saying, Ben. I do wonder why we chose to come from the divine realm to the physical realm in order to realise our divinity though? That part has always confused me. Is it so that we become even higher consciousness than we were before we came to earth? Coz ‘God’ is still evolving? Is it to raise the consciousness of matter? - even though matter is a manifestation of consciousness in the first place 🤔. Would love to hear your thoughts on this, mate! 🙏🏻

    Thanks Ben, if I can add a few hints for peps new to trying to dig into their own truth, patience is sooo needed at the start before something more solid lands. It took me 5 decades of being atheist to dig the whole I'm in... I'm making a path out of it hopefully won't take 50years to get to the surface again. Be open like Ben said don't limit how you get messages they will come and be aware of how other teaching sits with you,don't give your power away to anything...books..guru's the truth is inside as Ben just said.

    Thank you for another great video! I like to think of it as this: ‘we are all soul fragments of God / IAM consciousness going through a unique human experience, and our purpose is to wake up and realize who we really are… to journey our way back to God, and to learn unconditional love. For ourselves and others. We need contrast to help us wake up. 😊 I appreciate you using the word God and divine. It seems when people wake up to this they aren’t offended by such terms.

    Ben yesterday I started a journal , on the back of watching this video. My journal now contains gratitude in seeing your videos of late , and I write down some of your sayings. And quotes. I’m 61 live in Leicester and recovering at home from operations to remove nasty stuff from my body . Feel good right now and your videos have been a great help. Just a thought if you’d maybe think about making a video on how meditation can help in healing . I’ve watched lots of spiritual healing by Bruno groening and his circle of friends . He’s little known in England and I’ve found comfort and a real experience in his videos the last 12 months or so. Likewise now loving your videos. Thanks so much.

    • @bensmithreal
      @bensmithreal  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thanks for the message & I’m glad the videos are helping you! I grew up in Leicester, a lot of my family are still there. I pray your operation was a success! Take a look at my ‘healing hand’ video, that may help. Also, healing has a vibration. Everything has a vibration in fact. Believe it or not, the sound of bees creates a healing vibration. Try finding a video on TH-cam and playing it everyday. You never know what may come from it. Take care mate 🙏

    In regards to seeing recurring numbers, in my family, the numbers 23 and 28 have been "special" for a few generations. For example, all 4 of my mother's children were born on the 28th of different months and other important life events such as weddings, passings, moves etc... also all happened on the 23rd or 28th. When my mother passed away at the young age of 45, it seems this "tradition" was passed down to me but in my case, it is more than 23 and 28 but also a blend of those 3 numbers like 328, 283, 823 etc... My family members are aware of this and one day as my sister was accompanying me for eye surgery and while in the waiting room, I told her how for the past few days, the numbers were following me EVERYWHERE and it was a bit eerie. A few minutes later, we hear my name on the speaker telling me to proceed to room 23. "See?" I tell my sister. On the way back home, we stopped at a take out restaurant. When I was handed my number for pick up, I'm told that my number is 328. "Of course", I said. My sister was becoming a bit bewildered. Then a few minutes later at a road stop, I tell my sister to look at the telephone number inscribed on the commercial van in front of us which were all made up of 2-3 and 8. Once home, I asked my sister what time it was. It took her a few seconds for her to respond "it's 2:38". I'm still not sure what seeing those numbers means exactly even though I've always been a truth seeker. I've always explained it away as Life giving me a wink, as if Life was flirting with me.

At first I saw the same number everywhere, but now I am seeing multiple numbers repeating over and over again (11, 22, 33, 55) , and number sequences (like 2345 or 404, 525, 626). Everywhere. All day long. On top of that I feel like I can see the air? I realize this sounds crazy. I'm not sure how to describe it, it's like there is a unified field of very tiny pin pricks of millions of colors ontop of everything and they are moving...or vibrating maybe? Does anyone have any experience with this? Sometimes it's very intense and other times it goes unnoticed...

      Ahh I’m so pleased for you. If I could offer any advice - if you do try meditation again, be sure to go in with a good amount of effort and intent. You won’t get much unless you put in a lot. Generally in life, anything that’s worth it’s salt takes effort - you won’t get a quick fix, but if you make it part of your life, it will transform it - that I can say. Best of luck with your journey🙏

      I personally don’t. It might be easier in the moment, but you will gain more in the long run if you can learn to pull your awareness away from external noises & distractions.

    Ben how do I know that the Ego which distracts me from going within is not simply trying to keep me on the track of living this particular physical existence that is my pre planned life experience? I sometimes wonder if my interest in meditation is actually avoiding day to day situations that are uncomfortable or make me unhappy.

    • @bensmithreal
      @bensmithreal  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That’s a great question. In a way, the ego is trying to keep you involved in this physical existence. The reason for this is because whilst IT is sustained by this worldly life. However, as you start to realise more and more who you are, the ego is no longer needed, so it fights for its existence.

      Thanks Ben your reply is appreciated - however where does leaving the Ego behind leave unresolved relationship issues, to move away from the Ego seems to lose the option to resolve them Ego to Ego if that makes sense, maybe learning lessons the hard way but perhaps more authentically. Sorry about the ongoing questions but you are working in a very interesting area

    But why we had been created in such way that we have to make this spiritual journey? Are we simply being punished for something that we are stuck in this very low level of consiusness inside a body-mind trap? If our ultimate goal is to reach higher levels of conciusness, than any human creation or activity seems pointless compared to that. Is it still worth doing any daily activities? Why don't we just simply sit and meditate old-day long and don't waste time with those poitless things?

      Initially we were here to experience a physical life. Our original nature can’t taste, touch, smell, suffer etc. so it’s all an experience, however at some point or another, we need to let go and ‘return’ home. This is the spiritual journey, as we like to call it. When a person reaches this stage, then as you say, things in life need to become less important and the desire for truth needs to develop.

    Hi Ben if by being born into this world is to have a human experience why do you think we are then seeking our way “home” to the Devine? The Devine is experiencing us as being human are we then not saying no to the earthly plane?

    • @bensmithreal
      @bensmithreal  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Mark, this is a great question mate. The Divine is experiencing itself in a way, but also the Divine gifted “us” with free will. This changed a lot. So the process of heading home is to some degree, giving our free will back over and embracing the Divine will. Ultimately, we are all the Divine, but we have forgotten this truth.
      In terms of this earthly plane, the advice given to me was always to find a balance between enjoying this life, but equally seeking the truth. One foot in this realm and one foot in the spiritual, so to speak. Does this help? 🙏

      @@bensmithreal Hi Ben thank you for responding and yes it has helped. What did get me thinking was and apologies if I don’t get it quite right but you mentioned different realms/states we inhabit..inc. physical, mental and spiritual. What struck me was that I do give any space in my day to just sit and become aware of the stillness aka the spiritual side of my existence and I thank you for reminding me that fact through your channel.

    The part where you said "when I meditated and it would just be darkness and my mind would go quiet but there was nothing more",,, how did you move beyond that? You passively stay in the nothingness for hours or days until you begin having profound experiences? Thank you

      @bensmithreal  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Until I aspired for more, I stayed there, but when I began to strongly aspire for more (and put in the work), then things started to happen. We have to work for it, nothing is given for free. This was the way I was taught, but my experience proved it to be true. Hope that helps 🙏
