***** (apologies for replying to a 7mo post but it was tempting.) I think it depends on your awareness of yourself and your actions and how you truly focus your thoughts. Most fans/fandoms are huge rallying mass of mindless devotees to a concept, item or person that they will praise and defend to the point of harming other people or breaking laws of decency towards others of a different mindset. Which is basically pointing out that obsessive fandoms are like a religion of zealots that don't realize how far they've taken it. People will even go so far as to tell one another to go kill themselves if someone thinks something they're desperately clinging to may be in some form immoral, or even JUST pointing out when someone has taken something a bit too far. Like I'll also see fans of Russell's just randomly spurt comments on his vids proclaiming their undying (Sexual) love for him on comments, yet they'll just completely leave off any thoughts or admiration or agreement to any of his words or important points made. They'll just gloss over everything he's said because they see, 1. He's good looking, 2. He's a rebel, 3. he's smart - but they won't HEAR the actual content because all they know is "this man is special and we want him" and nothing else will matter.
These videos keep me sane and remind that there's no need to be scared and fearful, all the peace and truth I need can be found within myself. Thankyou so much for being the one to bring these things to my attention Russell; you are a wonderful person.
I so enjoy your videos! The truth is spreading! People who don't get what you are saying, are still asleep! I hope one day to met you and give you a hug! Thank you for being a part of this!!
Mr. Russell, you inspire me greatly.. and your fantastic sense of humor enlightens my day. You are one of a kind, Mr.. Much love! Please be safe out there and keep on bringing it.
It's easy to forget these important concepts and views on matters when living through the distractions of daily life, so hearing another person talk about them is really mentally and emotionally lifting! (Plus your humour just tops it all off!) Thank you Russell ^.^
That is gold. Love your work, keep it up. The world definitely needs more brave people like you. I totally get what you say and so does everyone! Please keep it up, don't get discouraged by the people that question you - because they are learning too. Everything you say makes complete sense! Have a fantastic day!
Predictable Russ is what I want. That's how you do TH-cam, you need to have a certain repetition. Do you like your music unpredictable or do you appreciate a wicked chorus? yep he's crafted this perfectly and it's brilliant imo
you are my inspiration Russell thank you so much. I often have an overwhelming anxiety that i think is rooted in the idea of an illusion of reality. I feel i am not alone in this feeling and please urge you to continue your tremendous efforts in both freeing and liberating people all of the world.
I very much appreciate Russell's posts. He was one of the reasons I got into meditation and these posts only reinforces the beauty I find with medication. I am so grateful for the life I have made.
nar0099 So you're telling me that when you remove fear possible consequences magically disappear along with it? Or are you saying fear, an abstract emotional concept, can be logically measured? Those kinda are facts.
Jake Noel I'm questioning whether or not it is only possible consequences which remain. Why is that all that is left? And possible consequences? As opposed to what? Impossible consequences? And what is the significance of the measurability of either? I'm basically saying that you are spouting meaningless, empty drivel to try and appear intelligent over the internet.
so true about the promotion of 'fear' by the meeja. I only see the papers in my local smiths in passing I never ever buy them anymore. They are usually full of negativity and mis-information. A state of anxiety is how they want to keep us. We are more malleable that way. And kept in a state of distraction so we don't focus on anything of real importance or benefit to our selves and society. 3 people basically run the show. Says it all really! Nice one mista
I agree wholeheartedly. I'd like to have The Trews everyday, but I'd rather see quality over quantity. Thanks for bringing this up, it'd been on my mind too. Russell- This is a really good episode. In many aspects. When you are inspired, clear, connected, your audience can FEEL it. It transmits right through my iPad. The same holds true for days you are hurried or stressed- we feel that too. I like to watch the Trews before a painting session, so I prefer the former. Just because the newspaper is a daily, doesn't mean the Trews needs to be.
always been on levels aint ya thought ide take a look at your old videos! fair play you've been doing this for a long time now ive only been following you for about 4 months but i watch every single video your on point !
Russell Brand =amazingly beautiful human being. Fear=anger=violence=hate=close mindedness=war and a whole lot more, we all choose who we want to be even if we had a abusive childhood or were abandoned by the one's we loved most, we still have the choice to choose love.
You know Russell that you are reading newspapers to a generation who does not read them. It is a treat to actually see a physical newspaper and get witty reactions to the stories and adverts. Yes we do read books but newspapers? Emma Watson was at Brown University in the US and she was pursuing her degree only to go back into acting. She had a reasonably older boyfriend who would fly in for weekends.
Russell, loving the daily dose of trews, thanks. IMO Krishnamurti's fundamental thinking should be taught in schools instead of how to be a drone and compete against each other for more of those silly material possessions. On the material possessions note....can you please get a better camera so i can hear your lovely voice and see you beautiful face better? thanks. keep the love, PEACE x
8:40 That is a major truth capitalism spends tons of money trying ( successfully ) to hide from us. In the Movie MATRIX, the kid Mouse tells Neo: "To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us humans". Neo should have replied: "To control our own impulses is what make us humans, without the control we are just another type of animal".
“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.” Jim Morrison Quote
fear + desire = suffering to dissolve suffering, one must learn to be like water, its states and flowing.~)))))) Thank YOU sweet sweet Russell four reading excerpts from Krishnamurti's writings so we may tune on higher frequencies. Your thinking process, as always, enlightens us to mind the truths ° ☸❦x
Thank You Russell, We need more people like you, Im trying very hard. I just need to know how to go about informing the people around me, I believe that is my purpose, like yourself, to inform and spread the word ( so to speak ) Keep up the good work !
When you accept it and do not try to escape it, you will flow trough the experience. If you cling to something and try to fight it, you will just get hurt more. Just like a water allows a knife slash trough it giving way for it to pass and closing back in behind it. Even the most hardest of substances can not do better job at retaining their shape than the water that is shapeless.
It's truly astonishing how many counter messages you can find in the same paper, I used to work in Daily Express and the people working there were responsible for many articles at the same time, often contradictory. They were having imaginary debated with themselves.
I don't like the idea that we need belief. Maybe on a large scale you are right, but as an individual I am perfectly happy with life without having an overarching belief system.
I enjoy your daily Trews so much. You have such a lovely mind exploring it with you. it is an adventure. In a lot of your interviews you talk about showing off and wanting to be the center of attention. Have you considered that this attention seeking was spirit working with you to learn to weild this gift of personality you have. That it was making you ready for your real job of leading a group of people with ears to hear and eyes to see?
Thanks for another enlightening segment Russ, most of which I concur. However, much that I respect Krishnamurti's idealogy, there are people who don't have the luxury for in-depth analysis of the human psyche. For example, do you think the people of Palestine could care less about the meaning of fear, given their current circumstances? No, they would simply respond in the same way any sentient being would react when threatened - flight or fight. Just sayin ;))
Russell, you may be already working on this but I'm wondering if you've thought about a Trews app? If you created one people could get notifications of new episodes of the Trews as well as links to some of the media programming you critique. Just a thought. You are the best!
This was some REAL TREWS Russell, That butterfly came by to let you know you spoke it then.
love and light!
Even though I'm not a massive fan of your good self I can't help but highly respect your reporting of the trews! Good work.
you dont have to be a fan of anyone =]
***** haha, i'm subbed to you. nice.
we'rent you listening, being a fan is being part of the spectacle
***** I can respect your opinion :) i wish you happiness and love

Only just discovered this channel - so glad I did. One of the most interesting people, honestly!
Russell Brand it must be so much pressure to do this everyday but its so appreciated. Your good work isn't going unnoticed xoxo
These videos keep me sane and remind that there's no need to be scared and fearful, all the peace and truth I need can be found within myself. Thankyou so much for being the one to bring these things to my attention Russell; you are a wonderful person.
I bloody love these videos.
You're a fantastic man.
'We're gonna die, but that's alright, 'coz we'll be okay if we live harmoniously for the time that we are here.'
That was beautifully put, Russell. :)
I so enjoy your videos! The truth is spreading! People who don't get what you are saying, are still asleep! I hope one day to met you and give you a hug! Thank you for being a part of this!!
I feel a little bit more awake and alive with every episode of the trews! Thanks Russell!!! The trews are brilliant please don't ever stop.
Kind of wish these were longer! I adore hearing you talk. :)
Mr. Russell, you inspire me greatly.. and your fantastic sense of humor enlightens my day. You are one of a kind, Mr.. Much love! Please be safe out there and keep on bringing it.
Thank you sweetest soul! Inhaling love and exhaling the deepest gratitude for you!
Namaste

how about we eat chocolate covered vegetables?..problem solved
I love the Monty Python characteristic off-screen imaginary responses in your own argument. I find them hugely funny! Keep up the good work Russel.
One of the best episodes yet, brilliant!
I agree with the salacious bit about Emma Watson. It's very creepy of the media.
Indeed. All the printed press hinting at the "all grown up" approach, slightly unnerving.
That is gold. Love your work, keep it up. The world definitely needs more brave people like you. I totally get what you say and so does everyone! Please keep it up, don't get discouraged by the people that question you - because they are learning too. Everything you say makes complete sense! Have a fantastic day!
Oh God this is funny. DUCKTA OCKTA CHUCKLIT - no, vegetables! - DUCKTA OCKTA CHUCKLIT - no, eat your vegetables!
Be careful! This can get stuck in your head!
Love always
One of the best episodes, yet.

I very much appreciate Russell's posts. He was one of the reasons I got into meditation and these posts only reinforces the beauty I find with medication. I am so grateful for the life I have made.
This whole concept is excellent. Quite thought provoking, informative and entertaining all in one. The ideal combination. Really good stuff.
another brilliant ep :) honest & helpful spiritual & meaningful info delivered with thoughtful insight & humour x
Great stuff, mate! You should make a good-reads booklist. I love reading the stuff you reference in The Trewzz!
I love watching these enlightening videos Russell! Thanks.
Showing some love to ALL from Canada :)))
Thank you for these videos! The mix of comedy and expanding conscience is unique.
That's the thing about fear, once you remove it, only possible consequences remain, possible consequences can be logically measured, fear cannot.
Well that's bullshit isn't it?
Makes sense to me. Maybe someone has a different opinion than you. Perish the thought!
Jake Noel But you're touting it as fact, not opinion.
nar0099 So you're telling me that when you remove fear possible consequences magically disappear along with it? Or are you saying fear, an abstract emotional concept, can be logically measured? Those kinda are facts.

Great videos man! Great to get a different view on all the media we have in our lives. Keep up the good work!
Don't feel pressured to do one everyday if you need a break mate. The trews are fantastic! Thank you for broadening minds.
I agree wholeheartedly. I'd like to have The Trews everyday, but I'd rather see quality over quantity. Thanks for bringing this up, it'd been on my mind too.

This made my day :') Thank you! It's so wonderful to see someone using their fame to spread important & positive messages >.
always been on levels aint ya thought ide take a look at your old videos! fair play you've been doing this for a long time now ive only been following you for about 4 months but i watch every single video your on point !
This is a fantastic youtube channel, this needs to be in every country for local relevance
That was your best one to date
agreed, i liked the analysis of Krishnamurti. keep these coming Rus..
Thank you for doing these videos! Love from Norway
This is the best episode of the Trews I've seen yet. Admittedly I've only seen a few episodes.
Damn, I so enjoy this! Thanks, Russell!
Russell Brand =amazingly beautiful human being. Fear=anger=violence=hate=close mindedness=war and a whole lot more, we all choose who we want to be even if we had a abusive childhood or were abandoned by the one's we loved most, we still have the choice to choose love.
Made me laugh and opened my mind. Like to see your doggie more.
8:40 whoever told you that is spot on! Brilliant.
"...We are gonna die, but that is alright, 'cause we'll be okay, if we live harmoniously while we are here..."
Beautiful Russell :)
I really hope you stick with this youtube thing.
You know Russell that you are reading newspapers to a generation who does not read them. It is a treat to actually see a physical newspaper and get witty reactions to the stories and adverts. Yes we do read books but newspapers? Emma Watson was at Brown University in the US and she was pursuing her degree only to go back into acting. She had a reasonably older boyfriend who would fly in for weekends.
Russell Brand, you are a comedy tour de force.
Thanks for my #trews fix today! Keep em coming!
One of the best Trews so far!
'VEGETABLES!--' 'Doctor Oetker Chocolate!'
'VEGETABLES!--' 'Doctor Oetker Chocolate!'
Russell, you're completely insane and I love it.
Dearest Russell; I think you're brilliant!! I love 'The Trews' and you! Thank you for expanding my mind on the daily and just doing what you do:)
Russell you are awesome! Thank you for reminding me that fear is whats keeping me down. I dont want you to die, but I would be ok with it.
Russell is the truth :)
GREAT episode again. The media thrives on fear.
One of the best episodes !
John Accolade
This is the best channel on youtube. Keep the videos coming Russel.
love you for this bro..jiddu all the way. refreshing honesty.
"Fear and Desire", oddly enough, the first movie by Stanley Kubrick.
THE BEST TREWS SO FAR !! keep it up
Omg! Read the transcript, it is sooo funny!!
Russell, loving the daily dose of trews, thanks. IMO Krishnamurti's fundamental thinking should be taught in schools instead of how to be a drone and compete against each other for more of those silly material possessions.

Many thanks, Russell
Absolutly the best to date..thank you Russell
Holy shit I've been waiting for this channel.
I have just started watch Russ
& he has some really good points
Love bless his soul
Our time here is so short... we should not have to spend it in fear... well said Russell.
LOL! The Dr. Otker bit made me chuckle.
fear + desire = suffering
to dissolve suffering, one must learn to be like water, its states and flowing.~))))))
Thank YOU sweet sweet Russell four reading excerpts from Krishnamurti's writings so we may tune on higher frequencies. Your thinking process, as always, enlightens us to mind the truths ° ☸❦x
I love it when you break into "posh" and take the piss! :)
Thank You Russell, We need more people like you, Im trying very hard. I just need to know how to go about informing the people around me, I believe that is my purpose, like yourself, to inform and spread the word ( so to speak ) Keep up the good work !
One of the best so far, fear needs to be understood as it's one of the primary tools holding us back from a revolution.
Krishna Murti has obviously never experienced the creeping, nameless, focus less terror of a full blown panic attack.
Maybe the panic attacks stem from fears which have been lodged somewhere deep in the subconscious and that are long forgotten by the sufferers?
I think our adrenal glands are too active also.
When you accept it and do not try to escape it, you will flow trough the experience. If you cling to something and try to fight it, you will just get hurt more. Just like a water allows a knife slash trough it giving way for it to pass and closing back in behind it. Even the most hardest of substances can not do better job at retaining their shape than the water that is shapeless.
Juha Halonen You don't get that that is just meaningless flummery, do you?
A series of inapplicable metaphors that would only distract a dull mind.
Nice reading from J Krishnamurti - thank you. Its right - and first we wake up to the mind and then we wake up from it. Nice one Russell
It's truly astonishing how many counter messages you can find in the same paper, I used to work in Daily Express and the people working there were responsible for many articles at the same time, often contradictory. They were having imaginary debated with themselves.
thank you Russell ,you have helped me become a better human..
You don't half make me laugh Russell,love it :)
What a fantastic and clever human being russell is.
I don't like the idea that we need belief. Maybe on a large scale you are right, but as an individual I am perfectly happy with life without having an overarching belief system.
You do have an overarching belief system...it is just not exactly the same as anybody else's :)
John Accolade
Sorry, You are right. I meant an overarching belief system about deities and mysticism.
We certainly don't require one of those...I don't anyway!
Russel, you seem to be in a great space. Keep it up yo!
The sun really keeps you balanced. The warm weather appeals to your nature. Don't go back inside, I mean stay inside just keep outdoors:)
Totally addicted to the trews, I want this shit on tap Russell :)
I enjoy your daily Trews so much. You have such a lovely mind exploring it with you. it is an adventure.

I love the different tunes!
"The only way to deal with an un-free world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” - Albert camus
I enjoyed that. Look forward to the fairy tales too.
I'm quoting him all the time. All the time.

I never thought about fear like that........I feel less fearful now...thanks Russell
Russell, you may be already working on this but I'm wondering if you've thought about a Trews app? If you created one people could get notifications of new episodes of the Trews as well as links to some of the media programming you critique.
Just a thought.
You are the best!
Holy shit! You make me laugh!!
You are fucking amazing. The universe is infinitely blessed to have truth speakers like yourself.
