this beauty filled soul speaks my language what a fine example of a spirit having a human experience he reminds me of a very very special soul in my life ..
I left London UK, my well-paid job, rented flat over ten years ago and moved to the mountains in central Italy, I live on very little money from a couple of English lessons I give to kids in the nearby village but not always, like one week I make 15 euros, another nothing! I have no car or a washing machine or hot running water or central heating, my trusty wood stove does all the cooking, heating water for washes and heating my small very old stone house, no internet, just limited access through my mobile phone....I grow food, keep chickens, forage and barter with some small organic farms here..I will never go back to my old life, never. I don't need stuff, haven't bought anything in years, I don't own anything valuable, I don't want to travel, I'm just happy here in my small house surrounded by my family of animals and trees and plants..when I was in London I was miserable and sick all the time despite the good money I was making (stupidly spending it on horrid clothes and stuff), now I have no money but I'm the happiest and healthiest I've ever been..wake up people...love to you all💚💕😻
So inspiring, thank you for sharing your beautiful story. We so happy to know that you have found your happiest healthiest self. Hope we meet each other someday in Italy. Thanks for watching. Best wishes - Michael and Justine
Milarepa said this very same thing over a thousand years ago. Something along the lines of "I don't need to suffer to obtain things. I don't need to experience the suffering of maintaining and keeping them. I don't need to suffer the suffering of losing them." Yes, indeed profound and leads to that which is genuine and authentic. May this be of benefit 🙏 th-cam.com/video/FBwRTFGdlc0/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
These words resonated with myself having been through the same journey 10 years ago after a marriage break up. My shoulders felt so light, it was so liberating.
We feel so blessed to be able to film with the people we do, often one films leads to the next. Beneke who we filmed two weeks ago had a once off conversation with Theo in the street and suggested I meet him so I jumped in my car drove eight hours, meet Theo and landed up making this little film, we live in a beautiful world with stories everywhere.
I’m working toward that myself, and my family doesn’t like it though lol - I also cut back my hours at work and don’t let my family buy things “just to be buying things” I am a true believer that simplicity is the true path to happiness.
@@Johnwilliams-l6p Family life requires a lot of patience to achieve your goal. Do not impose anything on your family or demand anything from them, but just be the example to follow, be flexible with them and respect their lifestyle even if it doesn't suit you, avoid conflicts and live zen. When they see and feel the happiness in which you are swimming they will dive. Peace on you.
'If you want to sweep arrogance out, try poverty. Poverty is the best broom' - I was a MBA student in Japan with 2 kids and no money to buy even books, forget paying the tuition fees. When you have nothing, everything falls down. It humbles you. It allows you to focus on the core. This is such a beautiful video. Whoever is making this video, please remember that you are filling the air with goodness and this air is going to touch every being in this world. May the universal spirit bless you. I will make contribution for sure.
Wow, your words touch us, thank you for your encouraging words. We are so glad Theo's message meant so much to you. May his words inspire you in the days to come. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Actually, I'd disagree. Poverty is first of all a purely oppressive force: it doesnt build character as such, it is simply a heavy blanket of stress, decision fatigue, etc. And it breeds narcissism as well as anything else: you're at the bottom of society, thus you have a 'deep down' suspicion/fear that all the rich people you see on TV & social media are really are better than you, that maybe your race really IS 2nd rate like the stereotypes claim, etc. Which can cause one to overcompensate by pendulum swinging into a full-blown narcissism as a defense mechanism: ACTUALLY you're better than everyone else. And then you have people so desperate to maintain their illusion of superiority they'll shooting someone because they stepped on their shoes. The cure for narcissism is to sacralize the everyday, the normal, and to be grateful for what traits and gifts you undoubtedly do possess.
Just found you @ReflectionsofLife. Please tell me you are still creating content. God works in mysterious ways and He sent your channel to me today. Thank you.
This man is a wealth of knowledge.He is in tune with the animals, the earth, and most of all the energy of life. He knows what true happiness is. Love is all that is important. Things will never make you happy. He is just a wonderful soul full of wisdom that eminates love in everything he does.
Beautiful words you are sharing with us Polly. He is definitely in tune with his surroundings, spreading love and happiness. kind wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I'm 71 and live next to a beautiful park in Tulsa, Ok. I manage a feral cat colony and enjoy the beauty of the miles and miles of trails I ride. I know what he feels. You have to let go of materialism to see the real beauty of our existence. Thank you for a Beautiful Film.
It's an absolute pleasure to share the video with you. So glad his message resonated with you. Wonderful that you can enjoy so much beauty. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Being only 44 and having this mindset is an absolute blessing. I am truly thankful for me being me. I have gratitude for even the little fruit fly. I have the most respect for the biggest oak tree. I love life to the fullest. The good and bad. I cherish it all... Every moment 💚🙏💙 This video was so validating and such a blessing to watch. Thank you for making it 🙌💯🙏💙
You are most welcome, we are so happy that you enjoyed Theo's story. What an encouraging and positive message you sent. Wonderful that you treasure all in life. Wishing you many more happy and fulfilled days. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I had tears as he played the flute to the donkeys and petted and cuddled with them. You could feel the overwhelming kindness that Theo has for life. I know those animals sensed and felt it. What a beautiful soul!
I'll add an observation. I've been watching this channel now for a few months, and there is a common theme - Deep Wisdom. TH-cam is flooded with all sorts of self improvement advice, and buzzwords from people who don't exactly practice what they preach and aren't grounded in any realness. And in effect because they too live in a bubble, have only haphazard advice to give. The real conversation comes from the pure, simple and humble. Those that are connected not to their cellphones, but to their communities and the Earth. I feel many people believe that answers need to be complex and high tech. But they don't, and people are slowly waking up to that fact. A little more each and every day.
Thank you for your beautiful long message. We really feel the same way that is why we do what we do. Finding beautiful people to have real conversations with that are simple and humble. We really appreciate you taking the time to write to us and for watching these little films. Best wishes Michael and Justine
Being pure and humble isn't simple in places that are filled with visual temptations. If we do not eradicate visual temptations, they will eradicate us.
You don't have to "work" towards😉it is all HERE.....just ALLOW YOURSELF to receive it🥰🥰everything is right here..right now.......are you " at home?" .....fully present in your body.....so that everything what is already HERE can encounter you? For me my breath helps me to remind quickly....to be Here....one breath at the time......I AM HERE......I AM PRESENT.....I AM AWARE.......all the best! Much love and Blessings! May you be in AWARENESS. Take it light.....if not so....take one deep breath and lighten up. 😃😃😃🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗
How does money stop one from.being oneself. I have chosen a career which is my passion. I think it is the one thing that gives me happiness. It means the world to me..... My career. I am at peace when I am working. I am.sincerely asking am I wrong or bad... Please reply
There is something magical about this man....His simplicity, the way he talks, smiles, laughs. His whole energy...Mesmerising. The lesson he's given us. I don't know how many times I've watched this video, but I love it!!! I wish him all the best! Such a sincere human being.
you have much life left, I feel your beautiful heart and mind , bc I think the same way, it’s so wonderful, I like real very much to , animals, young children senes good energy, I rem we had a horse growing up . 😢
The donkeys was my crying point. Beautiful story. I left London and moved to a super rural area in the mountains in a different Country. I didn't tell anyone I was going as I knew they would talk me out of it. 3 year's later, I'm the happiest I've ever been with my animals, crops and nature. No drama, no phone signal BUT a wonderful community that help me 😁 follow your gut instinct 🙏
What a fabulous message filled with courage, strength, determination and a calling to follow your heart. Enjoy every day in the special space that makes you smile. Justine and Michael 💚
I did the same. Left London just over 3yrs ago for rural Italy, hills, mountains, nature & animals. It took a little adjusting. I was born in London and in very late 40s when I left. But very happy with that decision now 🙏
Your videos are so sensitively made. I love that nothing is rushed, giving time to absorb the gems spoken. They give a tremendous sense of calm. Thank you.
I discovered your videos just today and I agree with the written above from another watcher...wow, these films are so beautifully made and touch my soul and feelings...Thank you so much!!!🙏🏼💖
Imagine how beautiful it would be if this kind of education is also given in our universities, nourishing an entire generation with gratitude, simplicity and wisdom as well. This was amazing absolutely loved it 💞
@Dipender Singh, So true, but instead we teach our young the need to attain more and more if they want to "get ahead" in the world, so they are always restless and unfulfilled.
i have the impression that a lot of schooling is about preparation to be an obediant, dutyfull, disciplined worker serving the powers that be. Look how people are following the narrative without questioning anything. critical thinking and slf realisation are being evaporated the longer you stay and live within the system. fake destructive and narcissistic values are promoted and the kindness and caring nature is replaced with competition, even play (sports) are all about competion. All joy is lost, all friendship is lost as comparison and strive are promoted as higher values😢
We would live by loving others as thyself, not egocentric based, but love to other as they were you, seeing the pure in everyone and in all, therefore We would be living a "life" in Truth, an experience that would make us really at peace and joyful with no stress, no hurry, no comparison, no competition, no hate, no jealousy, only High consciousness, with our Heart's Flames awakened...
@@stephanieluckey7825 yeah it's possible to do. But it's easier for some people to construct a reality like this, by simply buying land.... That's possession. If there isn't some kind of selfless person involved who provides the place to build a life like that. You're gonna need money to accomplish that. And from "I have nothing" to "I own a house and land" is a big step. It's not that easy. It's easy to say tho
"If you want to sweep arrogance out, try poverty. Poverty is the best broom." Beautiful words!!! Having to live with very little when I was younger, I have cleanse myself of arrogance and I learnt humility. It was the best lesson in my life and I am grateful for that. 😊
I have watched it thrice, penned down whatever that spoke to me. His precious nuggets of wisdom is so simple but amazing. At 39 years old, I had lost everything too, incurred $50 000 debt, wanting to end my life a couple of times as I held my possessions so so tightly. I thought my life is over. I realised that I have allowed materialism and scarcity mindset to keep me in a mental prison that I have imprisoned myself in. Depression sinks in and I felt so trapped. Terminal insomnia sets in and I experienced bouts of anxiety every single day. It happened on January 2022. Fast forward now, I have slowly walked out of all these mess through counselling and healing sessions. Suddenly, tonight, the feeling of pain surfaced once again, I happened to chance upon this video. I am very thankful for his sharing. I really appreciate. Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing your experiences Sarah. We are so glad you overcame so many obstacles and life looks slowly better again. Hold on and look forward. We are thankful you found this video when things were difficult, glad you are feeling better again. We wish you all the best and strength for the road ahead. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What makes me be on this channel is because I feel that all of these testimonials are true, I see them in their eyes ... More than words, these wise people live what they say. Thank you all again, thank you to that young gentleman. I'm trying to learn these things before my time comes ... 💚💚💚
Thank you Nicolli that is a very beautiful message. We really love making these little films and we strive to keep them and true and authentic as possible. Thank you from Michael and Justine
@@ReflectionsofLife I think that people who idealize a channel like this don't need a lot of effort to choose the right people. Just a sublime sensitivity ... This is art, this is life and a deep connection with our essence. An essence that you help to awaken in people ... Every word, every dew drop that falls, every life, human or animal ... You show it in a way that touches me like I never felt ... filming resources are just instruments that help these noble souls who do this work at a time when the world faces so many difficulties and dark days. Thank you for being a bit of a candle for me and for so many others. Thank you for responding to the comments, it's very kind. Love from Brazil 💚💛
"We are not dependent on our circumstances for how we're feeling, we are dependent our our choices for how we are feeling". This made so much sense to me and was just what I needed to hear. Thank you.
Isn't it soo wonderful to think that wayy just like uhh hv choices in every situation n can have goodness like never before...and by this you can have ur best life 🍃🥺 soo amazed to see this video n such lovely comments... It always gives me joyy to know that we are not alone...goodness is everywhere the more uuu discover yourself the more uhh get connected to universe with a lovely life 🍀🌈
Im 15 and this video brought be to tears. You can see how genuine he is and knows what he is talking with us.Thank you so much for sharing this message, i loved this video. Oh to live so simply like this without any "worries" about things we should not even worry about. As a teenage girl this is quite meaningful.
That you felt his message and share his sentiments - that is powerful, and even more so for a young girl of your age. May you walk a path through life that bring your heart joy! Hugs to you, and much love. Justine and Michael 💚
i hope you will have a fulfilled meaningfull life. think yrself at age 90 looking back at yr life. there is so much beauty in nature, in animals in kindness to struggling people, in music
I’m 67 now - I discovered the wisdom of the enlightened, when I was 50, making the last 17 years the best of my life - if I would have discovered Eckhart Tolle when I was your age it would have made an incredible difference!
What a wonderful example of the true meaning of life! People like this are a beacon of hope, illuminating the darkness and showing the right path. Thanks!
Thank you for your lovely words, so happy you enjoyed the video. And we would like to thank you for supporting our work, we appreciate it so much. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael 💚
Poverty is the best broom! Great one. I lost my home in 2008, foreclosure. It was painful the day I drove away and drove down the exit to a poorer neighborhood, all I could afford after living in a nice neighborhood, I realized and said to people , " this is where I live." And I would pass my hands over my physical self. This is where I live. In this body. It is my home. My body and soul. I fortunately live in an apt now sharing with my sister after she lost her husband to alcoholism. I'm grateful for what I have. It's 2022. Millions are homeless here in the USA. home is where the heart is.
This guy is possibly the most beautiful man on the internet. Had the pleasure of meeting him once. He's even more beautiful in the flesh and has an ethereal glow. Is he from another planet sent to educate us? ty
Staggeringly Beautiful. Thank You to Theo for sharing his Light & Love with us. Thank You Green Renaissance for leading us out of the darkness one Beautiful Soul at a time. 🙏🙏🙏
Our pleasure Lisa - thank you for your very kind words. We really do love making these little films and hope to keep bringing you many more. Best wishes - Michael and Justine
"Is it authentic" one question that always goes through my mind wether its people or anything in life. Animals have the softest and authentic souls. "They mean what they feel"🙏❤
I'm so privileged to have a friend like this man. This pretty much defines my life, full of struggles with progressive MS, yet full of happiness and contentment and hope. Love to all of you guys.
Bastyr University for naturopathic doctors had a book in their bookstore about MS. The book mentioned some oils that may help. Evening primrose oil was one. Probably vitamin D - maybe from (lemon flavored) cod liver oil. I’ve also heard from someone with the gift of knowledge from God that the daily recommended amount of beta carotene plus 1-2 capsules of chondroitin from shark cartilage can help rebuild myelin sheath.
There is a product called "zeolite". It is a natural volcanic rock, which is crushed to a fine powder so that it can be ingested. Zeolite helps to cleanse the body of toxic substances. Taking several teaspoons of zeolite per day is the usual dosage. I highly recommend it.
His words moved me profoundly, specially these lines' , "what are our possessions, what's yours, what's fenced in, what is mine, that we forget none of it is actually ours." Freed of possessions it is a lighter, and improved quality of life that we can enjoy, when we begin to notice and appreciate the many gifts God gives us, visible and invisible
Thank you for your thought provoking response. We stand on the shoulders of giants and angels. I embrace the example of St Francis, of tens of millions of unknown souls who learned to tread lightly. Am in awe of my mentors, with us all, while we're deepening our ❤ care. May you never forget your light! Thank you Sarah!
I wish I could like this more than once. I come back here so many times to remind myself of what really matters and how to live. I just love the elderly's perspectives on life, living and dying. Peace everyone. 🕊☮
What a wise and beautiful man Theo is! I feel that possessions tend to turn people into insensitive, selfish and envious beings. I have noticed that the less people have, the more generous they are. I think that material things imprison us, in fact the less we have, the freer we feel. Thank you to Theo for his wisdom and thank you to Green Renaissance for introducing him to us. 💚
Thank you for your beautiful message, we feel exactly the same way. So often we meet people who have almost nothing yet they are so incredibly generous. We have so much to learn.
My best affirmation:Surely goodness and unfailing Love shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord (Psalms 23:6)
It is interesting that he mentioned his "Damascus" moment. Am I the only person who could literally see someone like Caravaggio asking him to pose for a monumental painting on Paul himself? So beautiful, thank you for this! What a wonderful man. :) I think Paul would agree.
Throughout the video, I felt a genuine smile on my face. Thank you for reminding me to enjoy what is here and what is real. I just lost everything, my businesses, positions, wealth, and power. But, yes, just as he said, those are not the real things and I am indeed realizing, though very challenging, that losing everything may actually be the best thing that happened to me. Now i can start fresh, from scratch and start with the reality, that is, myself. God bless you. Soon I may also be able to share my story.
We are glad you can take courage from what Theo shared, being in a similar situation . We trust you can build your life together again with real and meaningful things. We wish you all the success you need and hope you will be able to share your personal story sometime Marie Curie. Wouldn't that be wonderful! Kind wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I wish you all the good things, that you get to live your life with the kindness and simplicity and love that the man in the video has. I'm sorry if I sound sappy, this video left me so emotional and your story too. All my best
I agree with every single thing this wise man said. The less you own, the more you are. And when you are no matter what, you know what true love and compassion are. When I watch these videos I know there's still hope for mankind.
This was the most beautiful and profound thing that ever happened to me to let me re-discover my lost inner truthfulness. I became such a horrible person, I lost myself. In our traditional Sikh prayer there's a saying "May God bless us with poverty".
We are so glad that this story touched your heart so deeply. Thank you for opening yourself to all that Theo shared with us. Hugs to you. Justine and Michael 💚
I watch this episode over and over without tiring. How this man is able in just ten minutes in simple terms to elucidate the key wisdom of the world's religions and greatest philosophers, throwing in Dr. Seuss and the Beatles for good measure, leaves me speechless. In these times of pandemic and war it is so important to be reminded that good and love still do exist in the world. Thank you Theo, thank you Green Renaissance.❤❤❤
Thank you Jeffrey, always nice to read your comments, your thoughts. So glad this was another meaningful video. We appreciate your encouragement and send you warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
"We get so used to defining our posessions... that we forget none of it is actually ours" 💯💯💯 I love his interaction with the donkeys. So sweet. What a beautiful human! So full of wisdom. ❤🙏🏼
Perhaps the comparison is unnecessary, but this man, in a single video of 10 min, has taught me and transmitted to me more than hundreds of videos from all over the Internet of Sadhguru and so many others who profit from "spirituality" (...) The soul recognizes what is authentic. Thanks.
I love his warm and gentle personality so much! I thought while watching this video he is talking only to me, I felt like sitting next to him at that stone. He is so full of love and kindness. Thanks so much for this video 🙏🙏🙏
There are millions of people who yearn to be mega rich but the life of a multimillionaire or billionaire is ultimately quite stressful. You worry about all the expensive stuff you’ve bought, you worry about your safety and security and you worry about your money. There is something to be said for just having “enough”.
I love your attitude my brother. I've just spend 5 months in different Thai Buddhist monestaries. ❤ One meal a day, no watch, no phones, no internet, no fashion besides white. This was one of the most beautiful times in my life. It was time spend in the NOW. Not the past or the future. Minimalism at its most profound state. The only way to reach it, is to be mindful and follow the Universal laws. Namaste 🙏
Thank you for sharing your experiences. We are glad that you were able to do this. We can understand why Theo's message spoke to you deeply. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Being simple is the hardest thing these days. It's very rare to find people being simple, simply themselves. The complexities going on in the head do not allow it.
Theo is a light in the dark with his wisdom. He has been on a long journey to be who he is. A artist of mind and soul, is what Theo is. He is a inspiration. When I saw him last I was so glad to see him. Thank you my friend. You are loved.x.
"When you talk, all you're doing is repeating what you already know, but if you listen you might learn something new." Today; I learnt something new listening to this man.
You make us blush! Thank you for such kind words, and for seeing the value in the stories that we share. It's great to have you along on this journey together with us. Justine and Michael 💚
This realy resonates. When i was made homeless and had next yo nothing i was so happy. But unfortunately i fell back into old habits and then became depressed because i had so much stuff again. Im going back to nothingness again.
So happy his message spoke to you and inspired you to scale down again. Wishing you all the best on the road ahead. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I come back to this video all the time, ive shared it with many people. This video gave me so much hope and validation that I can live an alternative life and that it can be my reality if I make it. Green Renaissance, I hope you know your videos bring so much, peace, hope and inspiration to so many people. Thank you so much for these gifts 🎁🙏🏼
For me, the road to minimalism stretches a little further. I’m down to a room with a desk, a computer, and a dresser full of clothes at age 52. I really appreciate this man’s example... just beautiful.

From "I lost all my wealth and possessions" to "I don't have to look after all these things". What a profound paradigm shift that must have been.
💚
It is.

Something along the lines of "I don't need to suffer to obtain things. I don't need to experience the suffering of maintaining and keeping them. I don't need to suffer the suffering of losing them."

What does that statement means? I mean is that means if you have too much, you'll be in depression and tention too much. Is it?

Peace on you.

Thank you, we really is a very kind enlightened soul.
I agree, he seems like such a sweet, happy man.
I was thinking the same thing
Pls read and study about theravada budhism.

Being only 44 and having this mindset is an absolute blessing. I am truly thankful for me being me. I have gratitude for even the little fruit fly. I have the most respect for the biggest oak tree. I love life to the fullest. The good and bad. I cherish it all... Every moment 💚🙏💙 This video was so validating and such a blessing to watch. Thank you for making it 🙌💯🙏💙
You are most welcome, we are so happy that you enjoyed Theo's story. What an encouraging and positive message you sent. Wonderful that you treasure all in life. Wishing you many more happy and fulfilled days. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Love this♥️🙏🏼
I had tears as he played the flute to the donkeys and petted and cuddled with them. You could feel the overwhelming kindness that Theo has for life. I know those animals sensed and felt it. What a beautiful soul!
Such touching words, thank you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

I'll add an observation. I've been watching this channel now for a few months, and there is a common theme - Deep Wisdom. TH-cam is flooded with all sorts of self improvement advice, and buzzwords from people who don't exactly practice what they preach and aren't grounded in any realness. And in effect because they too live in a bubble, have only haphazard advice to give. The real conversation comes from the pure, simple and humble. Those that are connected not to their cellphones, but to their communities and the Earth. I feel many people believe that answers need to be complex and high tech. But they don't, and people are slowly waking up to that fact. A little more each and every day.
Thank you for your beautiful long message. We really feel the same way that is why we do what we do. Finding beautiful people to have real conversations with that are simple and humble.
We really appreciate you taking the time to write to us and for watching these little films.
Best wishes Michael and Justine
Being pure and humble isn't simple in places that are filled with visual temptations. If we do not eradicate visual temptations, they will eradicate us.
Beautifully said 🍀
@@melihtayyipsahan3307 eradicate: impossible. So, no. Ignore yes! Your choice.
Welcome to the Tribe ❤💙💚💛💜💖
What a beautiful sharing and what a beautiful man. Sooo much light and love streaming from his eyes! Thank you! ❤️
Our pleasure! So happy you enjoyed the video. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
This man has found inner peace I'm working towards it as well.... Green Renaissance thank you for these helpful videos
Such a pleasure. Thanks for watching and for your kinds words.
Best wishes, Justine and Michael
You don't have to "work" towards😉it is all HERE.....just ALLOW YOURSELF to receive it🥰🥰everything is right here..right now.......are you " at home?" .....fully present in your body.....so that everything what is already HERE can encounter you? For me my breath helps me to remind quickly....to be Here....one breath at the time......I AM HERE......I AM PRESENT.....I AM AWARE.......all the best! Much love and Blessings!

Lots of love to you! 🙏🏼
"The loss of my wealthy lifestyle was the best thing that ever happened to me".
What a wise man!!!!!!! couldn't imagine anyone says that.
@STP 31 - Absolutely. And yet its all about our perspective, the way we choose to view things and approach situations, isn't it :)
I now feel at peace after watching this inspiring video.
Thank you Kim.
Ditto ... his face and voice are inspiring wise and loving .

There is something magical about this man....His simplicity, the way he talks, smiles, laughs. His whole energy...Mesmerising. The lesson he's given us.
I don't know how many times I've watched this video, but I love it!!!
I wish him all the best!
Such a sincere human being.
Hello Ann, thanks for watching so many times 💚 He truly is a gift!
Michael and Justine
@@ReflectionsofLife , Beautiful, Touching Video! Who is this gentleman, and the Country He lives in?
I too keep watching and listening to him. I feel the same space of liberation and as a being listening how he feels.
you have much life left, I feel your beautiful heart and mind , bc I think the same way, it’s so wonderful, I like real very much to , animals, young children senes good energy, I rem we had a horse growing up . 😢
Amen 🙏🏽
The donkeys was my crying point.
Beautiful story. I left London and moved to a super rural area in the mountains in a different Country. I didn't tell anyone I was going as I knew they would talk me out of it. 3 year's later, I'm the happiest I've ever been with my animals, crops and nature. No drama, no phone signal BUT a wonderful community that help me 😁 follow your gut instinct 🙏
What a fabulous message filled with courage, strength, determination and a calling to follow your heart. Enjoy every day in the special space that makes you smile. Justine and Michael 💚
Amazing life change, beautiful.
Kat,may I ask which country you went to on leaving London
How inspiring are you. ❤️
I did the same. Left London just over 3yrs ago for rural Italy, hills, mountains, nature & animals. It took a little adjusting. I was born in London and in very late 40s when I left. But very happy with that decision now 🙏
Your videos are so sensitively made. I love that nothing is rushed, giving time to absorb the gems spoken. They give a tremendous sense of calm. Thank you.
Your words touch and encourage us immensely. So nice to know that you see so much value in what we do. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I discovered your videos just today and I agree with the written above from another watcher...wow, these films are so beautifully made and touch my soul and feelings...Thank you so much!!!🙏🏼💖
Literally the very very very few channels that i do not turn up the speed just watch in awe .@@ReflectionsofLife
Imagine how beautiful it would be if this kind of education is also given in our universities, nourishing an entire generation with gratitude, simplicity and wisdom as well.
This was amazing absolutely loved it 💞
🇮🇳♥️
@Dipender Singh, So true, but instead we teach our young the need to attain more and more if they want to "get ahead" in the world, so they are always restless and unfulfilled.
Universities? It's should be taught in all education institutes around the globe.
i have the impression that a lot of schooling is about preparation to be an obediant, dutyfull, disciplined worker serving the powers that be. Look how people are following the narrative without questioning anything. critical thinking and slf realisation are being evaporated the longer you stay and live within the system. fake destructive and narcissistic values are promoted and the kindness and caring nature is replaced with competition, even play (sports) are all about competion. All joy is lost, all friendship is lost as comparison and strive are promoted as higher values😢
We would live by loving others as thyself, not egocentric based, but love to other as they were you, seeing the pure in everyone and in all, therefore We would be living a "life" in Truth, an experience that would make us really at peace and joyful with no stress, no hurry, no comparison, no competition, no hate, no jealousy, only High consciousness, with our Heart's Flames awakened...
Not living for money.. Surrounded by animals and peace and happiness and simple living.. I really envy this man.
We hope he can inspire you somewhat, we wish you happiness and peace in your life.💚
You can do it too. If it’s what you truly desire, there’s a way :)
There is no trap, only a journey.
@@stephanieluckey7825 you can do it and feel like shit, its not about doing it, its about how you think about it , that takes wisdom
@@Rami-bi9xjvery wise words
@@stephanieluckey7825 yeah it's possible to do. But it's easier for some people to construct a reality like this, by simply buying land.... That's possession. If there isn't some kind of selfless person involved who provides the place to build a life like that. You're gonna need money to accomplish that. And from "I have nothing" to "I own a house and land" is a big step. It's not that easy. It's easy to say tho
"If you want to sweep arrogance out, try poverty. Poverty is the best broom." Beautiful words!!! Having to live with very little when I was younger, I have cleanse myself of arrogance and I learnt humility. It was the best lesson in my life and I am grateful for that. 😊
So true! Thank you for sharing your beautiful words.
Such a gift to be grateful. Thank you.
Best wishes,
Justine and Michael
Theo is one of the richest human beings I've ever come across. I'm truly grateful for this video, thank you!
You are very welcome. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I have watched it thrice, penned down whatever that spoke to me. His precious nuggets of wisdom is so simple but amazing. At 39 years old, I had lost everything too, incurred $50 000 debt, wanting to end my life a couple of times as I held my possessions so so tightly. I thought my life is over. I realised that I have allowed materialism and scarcity mindset to keep me in a mental prison that I have imprisoned myself in. Depression sinks in and I felt so trapped. Terminal insomnia sets in and I experienced bouts of anxiety every single day. It happened on January 2022. Fast forward now, I have slowly walked out of all these mess through counselling and healing sessions. Suddenly, tonight, the feeling of pain surfaced once again, I happened to chance upon this video. I am very thankful for his sharing. I really appreciate. Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing your experiences Sarah. We are so glad you overcame so many obstacles and life looks slowly better again. Hold on and look forward. We are thankful you found this video when things were difficult, glad you are feeling better again. We wish you all the best and strength for the road ahead. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Good for you!! Keep going!!
I just read your comment. It helped me after a really long day. Thanks friend
❤❤❤
Take care of yourself
What makes me be on this channel is because I feel that all of these testimonials are true, I see them in their eyes ... More than words, these wise people live what they say. Thank you all again, thank you to that young gentleman. I'm trying to learn these things before my time comes ...
💚💚💚
So true, can't agree more
Thank you Nicolli that is a very beautiful message. We really love making these little films and we strive to keep them and true and authentic as possible.
Thank you from Michael and Justine
So true. They are the people you wish you could sit down and chat with for hours and such some of their amazing wisdom. Such kind, genuine humans.
@@ReflectionsofLife I think that people who idealize a channel like this don't need a lot of effort to choose the right people. Just a sublime sensitivity ... This is art, this is life and a deep connection with our essence. An essence that you help to awaken in people ... Every word, every dew drop that falls, every life, human or animal ... You show it in a way that touches me like I never felt ... filming resources are just instruments that help these noble souls who do this work at a time when the world faces so many difficulties and dark days. Thank you for being a bit of a candle for me and for so many others. Thank you for responding to the comments, it's very kind. Love from Brazil 💚💛
May we all find our own peace.
"We are not dependent on our circumstances for how we're feeling, we are dependent our our choices for how we are feeling". This made so much sense to me and was just what I needed to hear. Thank you.
💚
Isn't it soo wonderful to think that wayy just like uhh hv choices in every situation n can have goodness like never before...and by this you can have ur best life 🍃🥺 soo amazed to see this video n such lovely comments... It always gives me joyy to know that we are not alone...goodness is everywhere the more uuu discover yourself the more uhh get connected to universe with a lovely life 🍀🌈
I wish the world had more people like this good man.
So, so beautiful. Thank you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Maybe it does but we just don’t ask
Tu peux être cet homme. N'attends pas que les autres le deviennent.
Then the world would never progress lol
Im 15 and this video brought be to tears. You can see how genuine he is and knows what he is talking with us.Thank you so much for sharing this message, i loved this video. Oh to live so simply like this without any "worries" about things we should not even worry about. As a teenage girl this is quite meaningful.
That you felt his message and share his sentiments - that is powerful, and even more so for a young girl of your age. May you walk a path through life that bring your heart joy!
Hugs to you, and much love. Justine and Michael 💚
i hope you will have a fulfilled meaningfull life. think yrself at age 90 looking back at yr life. there is so much beauty in nature, in animals in kindness to struggling people, in music
I’m 67 now - I discovered the wisdom of the enlightened, when I was 50, making the last 17 years the best of my life - if I would have discovered Eckhart Tolle when I was your age it would have made an incredible difference!
My key take away here, "We are depending on our choices, for how we are feeling." Simple message and 100% bottom line truth. Thank you!
So true. Thanks for your message
@@ReflectionsofLife however our circumstances gives us choices. Choice is not an option if the circumstances don't exist around it.
Not the chances we have but the choices we make define our destiny.
Well said!
What a wonderful example of the true meaning of life! People like this are a beacon of hope, illuminating the darkness and showing the right path. Thanks!
Thank you for your lovely words, so happy you enjoyed the video.

@@ReflectionsofLife It is..
Poverty is the best broom! Great one. I lost my home in 2008, foreclosure. It was painful the day I drove away and drove down the exit to a poorer neighborhood, all I could afford after living in a nice neighborhood, I realized and said to people , " this is where I live." And I would pass my hands over my physical self. This is where I live. In this body. It is my home. My body and soul. I fortunately live in an apt now sharing with my sister after she lost her husband to alcoholism. I'm grateful for what I have. It's 2022. Millions are homeless here in the USA. home is where the heart is.
Thank you for sharing your story. We are glad you found a happy place now and are content. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

I'm so privileged to have a friend like this man. This pretty much defines my life, full of struggles with progressive MS, yet full of happiness and contentment and hope. Love to all of you guys.
Bastyr University for naturopathic doctors had a book in their bookstore about MS. The book mentioned some oils that may help. Evening primrose oil was one. Probably vitamin D - maybe from (lemon flavored) cod liver oil. I’ve also heard from someone with the gift of knowledge from God that the daily recommended amount of beta carotene plus 1-2 capsules of chondroitin from shark cartilage can help rebuild myelin sheath.

Love and health to you
There is a product called "zeolite". It is a natural volcanic rock, which is crushed to a fine powder so that it can be ingested. Zeolite helps to cleanse the body of toxic substances. Taking several teaspoons of zeolite per day is the usual dosage. I highly recommend it.
So wise. Thank you for producing these films, they always serve as vessel for pulling me out of myself and placing me back into the world.
Thank you that is a very kind thing to say. Thank you.
This is such an eloquent way of expressing this feeling, which I also experience
His words moved me profoundly, specially these lines' , "what are our possessions, what's yours, what's fenced in, what is mine, that we forget none of it is actually ours."
Freed of possessions it is a lighter, and improved quality of life that we can enjoy, when we begin to notice and appreciate the many gifts God gives us, visible and invisible
Very true

Theo seems to have a gentleness that goes straight to the heart...even his animals feel it. Thank you Justine for another gem xx
@Mary - Aaahh, it's a pleasure. But truly, the thanks goes to Theo for sharing his story with us! It's a real team effort. xx
What a wise and beautiful man Theo is!
I feel that possessions tend to turn people into insensitive, selfish and envious beings. I have noticed that the less people have, the more generous they are.
I think that material things imprison us, in fact the less we have, the freer we feel.
Thank you to Theo for his wisdom and thank you to Green Renaissance for introducing him to us. 💚
Thank you for your beautiful message, we feel exactly the same way. So often we meet people who have almost nothing yet they are so incredibly generous. We have so much to learn.

What a beautiful man. I loved his interactions with those adorable donkeys. It was magic. So much wisdom.
Thanks Marguerita, for allowing his story to stir your soul.
Justine and Michael 💚
Throughout the video, I felt a genuine smile on my face. Thank you for reminding me to enjoy what is here and what is real. I just lost everything, my businesses, positions, wealth, and power. But, yes, just as he said, those are not the real things and I am indeed realizing, though very challenging, that losing everything may actually be the best thing that happened to me. Now i can start fresh, from scratch and start with the reality, that is, myself. God bless you. Soon I may also be able to share my story.
We are glad you can take courage from what Theo shared, being in a similar situation . We trust you can build your life together again with real and meaningful things. We wish you all the success you need and hope you will be able to share your personal story sometime Marie Curie. Wouldn't that be wonderful! Kind wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I wish you all the good things, that you get to live your life with the kindness and simplicity and love that the man in the video has. I'm sorry if I sound sappy, this video left me so emotional and your story too. All my best
Marie how are you hope you are doing good
I agree with every single thing this wise man said.
The less you own, the more you are.
And when you are no matter what, you know what true love and compassion are.
When I watch these videos I know there's still hope for mankind.
@Prizzy - There is so much beauty all around us. We need to nurture and grow the community of love. x
There is so much light and kindness in this gentle mans eyes.

This was the most beautiful and profound thing that ever happened to me to let me re-discover my lost inner truthfulness. I became such a horrible person, I lost myself. In our traditional Sikh prayer there's a saying "May God bless us with poverty".
I also believe this. Poverty is the great teacher.
Thank you for your response!
We are so glad that this story touched your heart so deeply. Thank you for opening yourself to all that Theo shared with us. Hugs to you. Justine and Michael 💚

I watch this episode over and over without tiring. How this man is able in just ten minutes in simple terms to elucidate the key wisdom of the world's religions and greatest philosophers, throwing in Dr. Seuss and the Beatles for good measure, leaves me speechless. In these times of pandemic and war it is so important to be reminded that good and love still do exist in the world. Thank you Theo, thank you Green Renaissance.❤❤❤
Thank you Jeffrey, always nice to read your comments, your thoughts. So glad this was another meaningful video. We appreciate your encouragement and send you warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚

"We get so used to defining our posessions... that we forget none of it is actually ours" 💯💯💯 I love his interaction with the donkeys. So sweet. What a beautiful human!
So full of wisdom. ❤🙏🏼

Perhaps the comparison is unnecessary, but this man, in a single video of 10 min, has taught me and transmitted to me more than hundreds of videos from all over the Internet of Sadhguru and so many others who profit from "spirituality" (...) The soul recognizes what is authentic. Thanks.
We are so pleased to read this - that is wonderful 💚 thank you!
Michael and Justine
Sadhguru is a snake oil businessman. I'm an Indian, rural dwellers and those walking the spiritual paths don't like him.
I totally agree, thank you so much for sharing the experience of such great people!
Don't shit on Sadhguru just because his teaching didn't work for you. Your accusations are unfounded and spiteful.
I agree with you. He. Is. Real.!!!❤
The best video in the world for me. I have fallen in love with the soul of this person
Glad his message was so special. Thank you for watching. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I love his warm and gentle personality so much! I thought while watching this video he is talking only to me, I felt like sitting next to him at that stone. He is so full of love and kindness. Thanks so much for this video 🙏🙏🙏
@Katja Wöll - Thanks for allowing him into your heart 💚
There are millions of people who yearn to be mega rich but the life of a multimillionaire or billionaire is ultimately quite stressful. You worry about all the expensive stuff you’ve bought, you worry about your safety and security and you worry about your money. There is something to be said for just having “enough”.
So true, there is something to be said with just having enough.
Thanks for you message.
I love your attitude my brother. I've just spend 5 months in different Thai Buddhist monestaries. ❤ One meal a day, no watch, no phones, no internet, no fashion besides white.
This was one of the most beautiful times in my life. It was time spend in the NOW. Not the past or the future. Minimalism at its most profound state. The only way to reach it, is to be mindful and follow the Universal laws. Namaste 🙏
Thank you for sharing your experiences. We are glad that you were able to do this.
We can understand why Theo's message spoke to you deeply. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Being simple is the hardest thing these days. It's very rare to find people being simple, simply themselves. The complexities going on in the head do not allow it.
Thank you for sharing these thoughts. Maybe his words can help and inspire us to simplify things. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I loved listening to this man. Oh so peaceful & soothing😍

This realy resonates. When i was made homeless and had next yo nothing i was so happy. But unfortunately i fell back into old habits and then became depressed because i had so much stuff again. Im going back to nothingness again.
So happy his message spoke to you and inspired you to scale down again. Wishing you all the best on the road ahead. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Don't seek world's approval, live what u want it to be that's what we called Authentic.. Watching from 🇵🇭

I come back to this video all the time, ive shared it with many people. This video gave me so much hope and validation that I can live an alternative life and that it can be my reality if I make it. Green Renaissance, I hope you know your videos bring so much, peace, hope and inspiration to so many people. Thank you so much for these gifts 🎁🙏🏼
For me, the road to minimalism stretches a little further. I’m down to a room with a desk, a computer, and a dresser full of clothes at age 52. I really appreciate this man’s example... just beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts. We are glad that his story speaks to you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
