Dude this is literally exactly what I've been looking for. Realized that so much of my other thinking and fears of being unloveable are wrapped up in ego but couldn't find anything for dealing with it.
This was sooo eye opening. When I look back upon my past, i didn't even realize how many of my narratives are just mental habits. And I have been doing this for so long. "I'm not going to make it, this is too difficult" (even though I almost always made it), "I can't go to this party, i'm too socially anxious". These are all just narratives that i tell myself and react to immediately. Thank you for this lecture Dr K.
Thank you for this free guide. It seems like positive ego is also a form of prison, because we tend to try and recreate these beliefs. So, if I tell myself, that I am a winner, I will also avoid situations, that I must fail in order to progress or develop. It kinda flips to 'I don't want to be a loser, so I will stay in here.' I could be wrong, but this my understanding.
This one is a perfect explanation of why I’m so frustrated with therapy. OPS (objective personality system) has taught me a long time a go, I had a teenage obsession, that one never knows oneself. Because there are layers opon layers of distortions between who you actually are and who you think you are. And that you get to know yourself through experiences, through doing things but those experiences at the same time are the bias preventing you from actually knowing.
You will get such a higher baseline happiness to you if you do this. 3 months makes you a conpletely different person. Been doing it for 16 months now and I am actively killing it out here
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear includes punishment, and the one who is afraid has not been perfected in love.“
Even as an Indian who's familiar with these concepts and terminologies already, I'm really glad Dr K breaks it down. The fake gurus and swamis nowadays have twisted everything to fit some sort of agenda. These videos act as a kind of "grounding" which makes you realise what our Vedic knowledge _actually_ means and forces some reflection and re-evaluation. EDIT: Although I would say the usage of "sanksara" seems wrong. It's more akin to cultural and family values, than experience. Minor nitpick.
I needed this so bad, I've gotten to caught up believing I don't have a discernible identity when in reality it was the culmination of narratives I was telling myself.
First hour gang UNITE! Just finished relistening the video on anhedonia, with it’s probably fourth different title, and that just contains all the tools for getting started taking the wheel and straightening the ship. Thanks for that one, again!
Nooiice! Let's DO this!! Let's escape our egos, for the win! Full send, no cap! ( sorry, I'm a millenial and just saw the notification "posted 2 minutes ago" , haven't even watched a single minute yet 😬 )
Thanks dr k, i am highly grateful for the videos which u shared this year, and they helped me become a lot better than before. I hope to stay connected with your content as it helps me in my development and growth. Thank you . Happy Holidays
This is one of those rare times when I am watching a Dr K video and I hear something that I have already discovered for myself :) Based on my experience and understanding (largely guided by older HG videos), I have sort of realised that I keep telling myself "we can't do XYZ, here are all the reasons". Like, it is easy to find reasons no matter what the actual circumstances are. And I also keep having thoughts like "I wish I was really good at XYZ, that would be awesome, but I am not so I suck". And what I found out is that... It's just a habit. It's just what my brain learned to do - and by understanding this, my mind just goes "ok, yeah, you got me, haha". Like the emotional energy just fades away, not much different from when I sit with an unprocessed emotion in order to process it. I developed a habit of asking myself "is this influenced by ego?" And the answer is "yes" most of the time. And the coolest part about that is that it's sorta enough to do so to have ego quiet down. With understanding the magnitude of ego's involvement, it becomes arbitrary to see what _isn't_ coming from ego.
it would be really great if we would occasionally get such advanced lectures, thank you for this video it was extremely helpful, regular healthygamergg viewers who dont have access to members only content would love more of such lectures, if it is feasible for you to upload. the free content available is also extremely helpful tho. no complains.
Thank you for helping me improve so much this year Dr. K. You have truly made me a better person. Thank you for giving us this gift, happy holidays!!!!
Basically, toxic thoughts and mindless behaviors/reactions lead to delusional inflated or deflated beliefs about self in the world. And the tricky thing is that there is objective evidence of our experiences that can form either in the real world. But we fixate on a small fraction of the total sample of the truth of things and that’s paints how we see ourselves and others.
10:32 another explanation I can think of is that the same faculty that gives us inductive reasoning (this piece of greenery is called grass, this other piece of greenery is called grass, so I will induce that things that look spiky and green are grass) is behind the creation of identity as well. Same reason why people might judge others based on induced properties (what we may call prejudice), for example "this woman and this woman treated me, a man, badly, therefore I can induce that women treat men badly"
As someone in a country that it is hard to pay internationally and not privilege enough to get this, members, Thank you all! and as well as the team of HealthyGamerGG who made this possible
Summary of the lecture: I am transforms to I feel... e.g. happy or other stuff in communication and cognition. This process takes time. start with one minute or practice sentences with it. It'll change your life and resources. :)
This is the basics of yogic philosophy. Ty Dr.K for making it more popular. One request - kindly use the term 'yogic philosophy' instead of 'eastern philosophy'.
I've never really had an ego to begin with, but a thing that REEEALLY grounded me is starting jiu jitsu. I am a heavy dude, 95kg, and i got wraped up by a guy that is 25kg lighter than me. He moved me around like i am a soft pillow. I've been training now for 6 months, and only 2 weeks ago did i get to actually tap someone else. It was 6 months of loss, constantly all the time. Its a sport where you fail 99% of the time for the first 6 months, then its only 98% failure. And it will probably be another 6 months untill i tap someone else, and i fucking love that. Its a sport that keeps humbling you untill you quit, or just accept that as a fact and keep going at it. There is always someone better, always someone with more knowledge and training. It is a black hole for people with big egoes, but its also an infinite mountain of knowledge.
I like pull ups for a similar reason. I could only do three when I started. Then after a few days I could do four. A few days after that five, and so on. Each unit of improvement is the smallest possible unit, but is really satisfying.
I feel like Dr. K would find Lacan extremely interesting (once you get past the pretentions unintelligibility of the latter). He splits off from all post-Freudians in that while they try to "strengthen" the ego, Lacan admits that the ego is a misrecognition and all resistances and excess suffering is rooted within it
Remember when Piccolo said, "Gohan, it was back with majin buu. You unlocked your full power, but it you enjoyed it too much. Because of Your arrogance Buu Upper handed you. Don't let that happen again. Be a warrior, and give everything got either your opponent is weak or strong."
I've had the experience of entering a flow-state playing guitar on LSD several times. It's as if my role of the guitar player changes to one who is observing the guitar being played, like a process that's acting upon itself.
@@adrianwheeler1936 when I did 2cb and mdma I had the same experience but not exactly the same I let the guitar and my fingers do what feels right and enjoy the feeling of making music even though it wouldn't be considered as music if you were sober I think lsd (which I did too) will give you a bit of a similar feeling but I felt a lot more awake and you pay attention to the outside (guitar and noise around) but also to your inside which brings this amalgamation off intense experience and bring it into a conscious ideas that can help decipher what something means Ofc I say this knowing I was in an altered state but I believe some states can wake a part of your consius that you never acknowledged On the other two substances I felt this too but would have never been able to form it so coherently I hope these words are coherent enough to mean something to substance users and sober people
@Adonis-d5p after hundreds of trips it is possible for me. It was not possible without immense meditation practice, the psychedelics were only there to show what's possible at a master level (I'm nowhere near master but definitely more than advanced by Dr K's definition). These things really do help teach if you listen with respect, but you still have to put the same amount of work as someone without those things.
Creating goals for hobbies is kind of confusing without involving ego as a north star. The habit thing is confusing... I wanna be the best i can be at piano. But i guess when you break it down youre always just there at your best and worse because best compared to what? How you did yesterday or years ago? What about when im 70 and lose motor functions? My best that i can do now will always just be what im currently capable of doing now? I.e. who i am now? Could you say i want to learn piano because i enjoy piano arrangements counts as being detached from ego? Because ultimately I do it for enjoyment when I actually do it, but it seems that my before and after practice mindset is moreso focused on the achievement of completing so I can finally share or perform for people, all that dopamine. I get enjoyment from playing for people and getting claps in the crowd and praises in messages. Is that an ego thing?
Love your videos and they have been helping a lot. I have lost a lot of teeth and confidence wise thats the thing im finding the hardest to get up from, a video on that would help anyone in the same boat also i reckon. Merry Christmas and Keep Right On.
This seems impossible to achieve. There's no way I can avoid internalizing my life experiences when my life is actively happening to me on a constant basis. If I'm not the sum of my experiences, then there's nothing left at all for me to call "me".
You are more than the sum of your experiences. That doesn't mean they don't happen, you should learn from the feedback those experiences provide and create new experiences but they are not you. If you didn't have them you would still be you.
@@Beaver_Monday The person from your past doesn’t exist. The person you envision yourself becoming in the future also doesn’t exist. The only “you” that truly exists is the consciousness flowing in the present.
It arguably is impossible to achieve. It's not necessarily something you do, it's a lot more like something you realize. It's kind of like when you "get" a joke. It's kind of funny actually, you're nearly there when you say there's nothing left for you to call you. Also the ego never goes away, that is actually impossible, you simply develop an awareness and control over it. I hope that helps, let me know if it makes sense or if you have any questions
Achieve what? The point isnt to completely dissolve ego, obviously that isn't really possible. It's more so to understand it and stop it from completely controlling you and your life. There's a lot of room to move in a positive direction
So there was a study showing if you consider yourself lucky your brain makes itself search for more opportunities while those who dont see less opportunities and those who believe unlucky sometimes even the opposite. Ways to sabotage themselves Would the consideration of lucky be considered an ego? And wouldnt it be beneficial in this case? Is there not a way to utilize it without it leading to "suffering"? If its not ego, how do you process that and how do you differentiate things that seem like ego from simply being some sort of condition of perspective?
If I say that everything is going to go wrong, good things even miracles happen But when I positively just think about my efforts gonna show some impact They throw it on my face What is the name for this condition?

Dr K can you do an analysis on blue locks interpretation of the Ego?
Thank you Dr. K! So basically, we just have to take a step back when looking at a situation?
So there was a study showing if you consider yourself lucky your brain makes itself search for more opportunities while those who dont see less opportunities and those who believe unlucky sometimes even the opposite. Ways to sabotage themselves
Would the consideration of lucky be considered an ego? And wouldnt it be beneficial in this case? Is there not a way to utilize it without it leading to "suffering"? If its not ego, how do you process that and how do you differentiate things that seem like ego from simply being some sort of condition of perspective?
If I say that everything is going to go wrong, good things even miracles happen
But when I positively just think about my efforts gonna show some impact
They throw it on my face
What is the name for this condition?
ty members
God bless you❤
Hey Dr. K, can we get a full analysis of EGO as the main theme in BLUE LOCK?
I am really finding it interesting and the recent chapters are diving deep into character personalities.
It would be great if we get your perspective on this
Me: *attention drifts to random bs*

Me: *neurons activated- flow state achieved*
