Don't see going to the toilet as disrespectful... your body is functioning well - not everyone is blessed with that.... I give gratitude for that as well 😊
Everyone has their way, I respect your way all the same 🙏🙂
And while you're sitting on the toilet, take care to not recite the first verse from Bob Dylan's "Highway 61".
Same! I actually express gratitude to my body for releasing all that is no longer needed, & acknowledge the privilege for having access to plumbing in this incarnation.♾🙏🏼💞
@@sarahkuczynski13 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Amazing 🙌🏼
I agree. The divine has no societal conditioning around our bodily functions. But I also think it’s helpful to just go with certain cultural norms - esp those that are deeply rooted in our programming.
1. Don't fear God
2. Respect and honor God the way you do your parents.
3. Be still, be silent and listen God is everywhere, everything (this includes you) 24/7.
3. Gratitude prayer before sleep and ask for protection from the "Knights of the Darkness" while you're sleeping and when youre awake.
4. Meditate - set a timer for 30 min. and just sit with your eyes closed, don't move (at all) don't engage in conversations with your thoughts.
4. Shower and driving is the best because you are not distracted by any sound but the water, listen to your thoughts carefully.
5. God communicates with you through your emotions. Pay attention how your heart feels when you have a thought, is it opening up or is it closing down. Your heart is God's loudspeaker.
6. When in bed in the dark with your eyes closed, you hear a sound, can be like bizzing of electricity, or bees, or chimes, some kind of constant stream of sound it's the sound of Father/Mother God the Godhead.
Only communicate with the Godhead.❤
Thank you so much for these words!
@@NullScarthank you for your kind words ❤
@lyranstarseed1508 It is my pleasure! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much i almost sat through this only to discover he does the same thing i already do!
@mko-ai it's good to hear that we are not alone and that we can share and maybe add onto or fill in gaps.
Thank you.
this might be a bit radical, but your comment on using the bathroom ....i think gratitude for a biologically functioning body no matter what the function is a good thing ...those of us who once experienced the discomforts of illness in organs would totally get this
Yes, I often go to the WC early morn. It is important IMHO.
Very Helpful thank you
Your always connected to Spirit, literally you can't change that.
Yes, but your conscious & subconscious mind aren’t always inline with spirit.
Sorry Ben,
The reason why I'm writing is because you are there
So thanks for the great inspiration
So,
Here is the recipe:
0 Be humble
1 Meditate
2 Become Aware
3 You'll experience the greatest "goodness"
The reason why the "Divinity" calls us be "Good"?
That means,
Be humble, meditate, become aware, and only then you will experience the "Good" in its purest possible primordial "Goodness".
Be Good is not a call for action
Be Good is the most primordial feeling, but you have to achieve it
And the achievement is not by running Good fighting Bad
Good and Bad is the spiral
You can see it only in awareness
For the daily life Good and Bad is endless drama we should choose
Once being Aware, you are not having drama anymore
Because you are Aware
Aware means to know everything in everyone
Then you don't have drama, because you don't have fears
You are seeing it all, tracking every single twist
Hence not fearing
But that doesn't make you feel the greatest alpha power
You are all with good and bad
In the non dual
It takes significant amount of energy to form the sphere of awareness
Your awareness protected
Only then you'll see everything in all and all in everything. You'll get in Nirvana.
You will fall asleep in bliss
Dreaming all
Falling from Awareness
You will forget the physical world and its entanglements in darkness.
When looking the below you'll see people looking at you asking how to get with you up there
But you forgetting their struggle will lazily answer them "Bee Good"
For them "Bee Good" sounds like cliche nonsense
And will ignore you,
or even hate you
That is why we getting down the earth to remember
Because neither earth neither heaven is our stop
But the movement in between
Be Aware
This is wonderful, Ben! I love these suggestions.
I studied advaita Vedanta for a couple decades and much of what you say reminds me of that perspective. I love your use of “the divine” and we can replace that with whatever fits for our conceptualization.
💚 yes yes and yes that's everyday all day I do these things I'm so thankful to God Jesus's and the universe. Thankyou Ben 💚
Another issue
The call for mediation should be triggered not that you are rejected from the physical world
Not to hide from the physical realization
The utmost urge for mediation means to become master of yourself
Then you will be happy
Because all your actions will be synced throughout your entire existence as awareness and physical realization
…….our Life is a living meditation……
I’ve practiced all these things for a very long time. And although life has continued to happen (challenges, heartbreak, etc) I have been able to move through them with increasing Grace and peace. And I am able to rest in a mostly open and loving heart. I hope many people are able to sense the wisdom in these ways of living and being.
Such a lovely video! I often find it hard to break down what I do that works well and you’ve captured it wonderfully. ❤
thxs for sharing Ben 🙏
This method works. You can achieve complete enlightenment with this technique
Agree with almost all you've said
But before elaborate my point
I really have to say thank you because you are the one staying there and remind us to self reflect 🙂
So the different angle in my perspective is about 2 points,
that doesn't mean I reject though,
I just have slightly different perspective
so here it goes:
- 1st - I personally am not any longer so humble throughout the day. Because putting myself small, is like a spring that will get compressed and will tear at some point in anger. Because the good and bad are the same feeling with different direction. And I strongly believe we should not chase being good, but being aware and have the non-dual awareness.
On the other hand really strong deep levels of meditation can happen only by the greatest possible humbleness imaginable.
And that is a fundamental key.
One should never mistaken being good will give deep knowledge,
But in a sense exactly being intentionally good, trains you in humbleness.
So not that being good will open the great door of mystery , but being good will train your humbleness which in turn is essential for the deep levels of meditation.
- 2nd different perspective I have is of my "daily contact" with the Divine.
For me getting in contact with the Divine has the purpose to "center myself".
I will explain what does that mean for me with a very good example:
Imagine a "whipping-top".
It is in balance only when it is centered and spinning.
You should have accepted the whole "Maya" as a play around you.
Don't reject neither accept.
It is just a play.
This is very powerful "example-mantra"
The whipping-top if not in motion will always fall, that is why you should never get attached to anything in the life.
End of attachment will free and center you. Then the question is: If I spin around myself, does that seems natural? inherent?
The answer is yes.
What is spinning around is your "body energy" accumulated by yourself by knowing yourself. Knowing your body energy. Having the deep sense of your body energy.
What is the purpose of such sort of "Divine daily contact" is just to center myself and move throughout the challenges I have during the day, without wasting energy and saving myself from troubles.
Being able to always choose the path with least resistance and better option short and long term
Nonetheless, I'm not trying to play the smart guy, rather I'm motivated to share my perspective, because you inspire me and I thank you and appreciate 🙂
Excellent, Ben. So good to have guidance to bring the Devine into the whole day, something I’ve wanted to do. Thank you! I saw another post that said the person doesn’t do this but uses emotions. I think including both structure and emotions is the best, and I believe you do use your feelings when you speak to the Devine.
Thank you Linda 🙏🙂
beautiful message- I try to live the same way
Noted:
Thank the divine ✅
offer food to the divine ✅
sit on a candle ✅ haha 😂
Thanks so much Ben 🙏 I relized that if I pay attention to the present moment I can get in touch with the feeling that the divine is holding us and see it present in everything. I am currently practicing this idea of staying connected and as you say gratitude is a big one, for me, it feels like instant connection. I see the divine in the perfect timing of this video, I know is like this to everyone that can pay attention and notice the syncronicities. I mantra I love is : sat chit ananda 🙏 (existence, consciousness, bliss)
Thank you, much needed at this time
Thank you much appreciated ❤
Thank you divine
I’m one of those that can’t say a thankful prayer over my food, but what I’ve learned to do is see myself as the Divine experiencing earth life. I go into the moment and savor every bite or sip. Be in the moment. I do this in many activities. When I did this in hospice with my Dad, it was a game changer.
It is so different for me. The energy of praying is very separating, where experiencing as the Divine is very permeable.
And yes this angst came from being raised in patriarchal Christianity. I don’t resent Christianity, but my spirituality has evolved. ❤
This sounds great, I love how you’ve found a way that works for you 🙏
Really useful information. Thank you for this. :)
So helpful! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this.
Beautifully explained and very useful advice. Thank you Ben.
When I get negative/sad feeling I ask the divine to detach me from that feeling and imagine cutting a rope/thread with scissors and slowly go to my neutral state while doing japa. This helps me not dwell in negativity too long.
If I am too happy - I thank the divine for that happiness and try to settle in my still/neutral zone by doing mantra or japa & slowly get my mind to focus on a form.
I'll have to adopt your method of offering food before eating food. Thank you!
Thank you Ben. Because I am trying to shift a serious illness, every move I make has to be done with care (must be in the now) otherwise I can do damage because of poor bloodflow and blood pressure. Regularly thanking my body (the Divine) for all she does for me every moment of everyday is so important. It's become a strong bond if cooperation and respect. I get special communication every so often from her to help with my journey. Indeed at times its something else I need to lift my strength and improve my healing. The silent voice that is very loud. It's amazingly beautiful and so special and always such a surprise. Mudras are a passion where I feel very connected. I feel the closeness of the Divine as I say them. I read up about them before I commenced and learnt various sensation can occur as connection happens. Yawning being one of them. If I have focus I begin to yawn, if I lose focus it backs away. Focus and intention to further our connected is so important. The tone in which it is sung or said also important for me. I enjoy many of them but my favourite is the long Gayatri Mantra. Thank you for your precious work. ❤
We have this idea that God has sent us but the truth of the matter is, we came here to chase our idols... To get to the idols, we follow the guidance, which our emotional guiding system. What feels good is in alignment with the Divine, what feels bad is not in alignment with the Divine... That is as simple as it can be. Beliefs create thoughts, thoughts create feelings, feelings create actions and actions become the behavior...
"We have this idea that God has sent us..."
Yes, that is the first step,
But then once experience all that
And has become mature enough
You won't any longer want "have this ideas God has sent us"
You now will want instead of having ideas, to experience yourself
And then you come to realization there is no good and bad, It's just a position we are currently in in the dual reality we live
The new paradigm is that in order to evolve any further we should evolve beyond good and bad into the non dual fabric of life
Otherwise, we should accept that we are dogs in the Pavlov's dog experiment
Where we are the dog salivating the "Good" food under the nose.
People's evolution is not to be the Pavlov's dog, but to evolve further into non-dual
Then we are not going to salivate saliva upon the Good, instead you'll be in the nirvana of seeing all at once, but that happens only in the non-dual awareness
This is where meditation comes
Easy does it! 🙏🏻
Sai Ram Ben. With Swami’s Grace I came across your video. I was feeling very disconnected recently and was saying to Swami to help me . Thank you. You must come to a Sai Baba centre sometimes so that a wider community can benefit from your company. Thank you and Sai Ram.
Blessings 🙏 I’m hoping to visit puttaparthi in October this year. Sai Ram
Thank you Ben , very good insights
Thank you for this Ben. Really great concepts to carry forward in the day. I'll feel into what works best for me in terms of time of day and activity. Be blessed🙏
Love your blackboard & colorful Inks!! ❤😍😘🙏🙏
This was my first time finding you today ❤ thank you for sharing your insights.
This is amazing, though I’ve had moments and practiced this from time to time, I’ve just today realized how I wasn’t connecting with the divine and almost going through life numb, so I decided today to stay connected to my body and your video came at just the right time too. How much gratitude and respect and appreciation you feel for everything from objects to people to experiences if you see everything as divine. Thank you Ben
And the respect and appreciation of the self I feel, to treat with respect like I’m at a gurudwara or a place of worship
Sitting on the candle can bring pleasure too😉😂
That's one way to put out a candle I guess 😂. Thanks for another inspiring and informative video 🙏
I find my balance with a moving meditation in the morning weather it be qi gong or yoga or both I meditate mid day then review and release rt before sleep...I'm always learning
Thanks
Bless you, thanks 🙏
the people issue's
They are unable to "afford" the full relaxation
Everything in this world fights for your energy
Every external stimuli wants your attention
You are so caught into matrix
You are unable to fully relax
Because even when you are "relaxed"
You are so deeply incaged that your energy is just blocked into your space-mind
The only thing you can experience during such "relaxation" is the laziness and daily brake energy catch up
But nothing more
How I see it:
One should work onto his liberation
To be enlightened enough to afford spend the "relaxation"
Then your energy will "flow"
And fulfill the needed vacuum for awareness.
As if you are not feeling the vacuum means your consciousness is being completely caught into the matrix
❤
I often use gratitude and mindful slow eating but could you please elaborate on "offering up" food. Another banger video mate ❤
Great! Yeah I think I will do a video on this as there seems to be a bit of confusion. Cheers mate 🙏
I love this... what mantras do you recommend?
If you get ANGRY - that is the opposite of "just is".
See what you've done there?
this is your truth.. mine is a lil different i find emotions speak louder then words/ i use my emotions to pray not words. my thoughts/emotions are the prayer.
You are right. God speaks to us 1st through emotions, it really dislikes communication through words, but if you request words only, God will honor it. ❤
Your way is your way 🙏
@@bensmithreal AGREED respect every ones god.. i thank u for a dif perspective much love many blessings
Randomly I’ll talk to the divine and remember to see them in everything.
7:00 I’ll go about looking at the sink as the divine, but sometimes I’d be silly and be like ‘my poop is the divine’.
And I don’t mean it in a disrespectful way but in a playful one. If I were the divine and I heard my ‘child’ say that, I’d play along and be like ‘I am your poop’. Sort of how good mates can say almost anything to each other and it doesn’t matter because they know it’s a joke and they love each other.
Is it the same with the divine because I don’t want to come off as disrespectful? I end up holding back sometimes but then I worry I may not be being authentic in our relationship.
Can you make a video explaining what lost souls or ghosts are
I watched one of your videos recently where you mentioned that those who have led an evil life,rape,murder etc...would go to a terrible place at death. I was wondering if you could expound on that some. Thank you.
All is beautiful🙏 sybolizm🩵 is the connection
I agape (love) you Ben, thank you for your witness to the divine. My most mystical experience was on a toilet in Amsterdam. Not disrespectful, but some serious shadow work needed to be done, to rediscover the throne of G-d. FYI, Some of your practices are very Jewish :)
Agree,
When one is very confused in anger he needs to 'ground" himself. Which in its turn is not a bad thing at all, because being grounded gives you the greatest power on earth, will live longer In survival, and in power amongst the fears. Fighting fears with your own existence
Hey Ben, how can i get in touch with you privately?
I don't know, this sounds a lot like religious worship to me. You are just replacing the word "God" with "Divine" and "prayer" with "mantra".
I mean that's fine if you feel that's the right way to go about it, but the way I understand it you are not here project Divinity onto an external entity by mentally thinking about it all all day.
You are here to embody it and worship the divine in yourself and bring it to the world through this incarnation.
Going to the bthrm is Disrespectful?? Hmm
How I see it Ben is everything is a part of the Source, but not the source, like a drop of water out the ocean is part of the ocean, but is not the ocean. Or a son Is part of his father, but is not his father, it’s a individual piece of consciousness. Or as Tom Campbell would say we are a piece of the larger consciousness system.( God)
I agree with you for sure. I like the analogy that we are like fish swimming through water. The water is like the source, it surrounds the fish completely & when the fish eventually ceases to exists, it returns to the source.
@@bensmithreal but we never cease to exist.. Tom Campbell doesn’t believe we merge back with source. But Ben if we do merge back with source, do we still keep are individual consciousness? Or just become part of source again and don’t exist anymore as a individual piece of consciousness? I’m finding this hard to get my head around… and why would we merge back with source , when source broke itself up into individual pieces of consciousness (us) to start with. My kind of thinking is, are aim as small pieces of consciousness is to grow larger like the sources consciousness, like a son grows up to be like his father. Or a drop of water 💧 (us) grows as large as a ocean 🌊 (god/source)
@@Lonewolf__666 That's why you need meditation :)
consciousness is your brain+impulses+hormones
Awareness is beyond all that
Awareness can be obtained with meditation
Once being aware you will find all the answers
and be just smiling on all that
@@p14men all that’s fundamental in consciousness (us) the rest is just a virtual reality,Just like a computer game, where your control stick is your consciousness controlling your character your body. So your brain isn’t actually doing anything in reality.
I have been struggling to clear my mind during meditation, but I had an experience in my dreams. I dreamt of having a strong sensation on the right front area of the brain, it felt illuminated yellow, and an amazing feeling, I greeted it by saying 'hello, Jesus'. Really weird. Do you think this was related to my recent efforts in meditation or just a random dream?
I will help answer based on my experience. What you experience can include part of the spiritual itself, the fact that the dream is connected to intuition and the third eye
Talking about his mantra meditation ring: Praying for/to krishna while touching Jesus face seems odd
Not when you realise they represent the one God.
Thanks, but all of what you’re advising us to do is really just “damage control”. Everyone watching this video made the same mistake of choosing to come back to Earth once again and make physical experiences a priority; despite the associated suffering that goes along with that. So we’re stuck here for the time being. And though “seeing The Divine in everything” will help us a bit, what we should really be praying for (with the hope of finally getting it planted in our thick heads) is this. After we die and are then sitting in the astral plane and deciding what the plan should be for our next Earth life, we finally come to our senses and say, “I choose to not go back there....ever again.”
Thank you.
