Thanks, your words/approach resonate. Yet i'm unable to interact through a screen. Feels too unsafe. I'm inept w/technology. Conjecture there's a hand-to-eye disruption. Live therapist only... But i will keep tuning in
I used to read voraciously when I was younger, but I've been guity of spending more time on (ahem) RUclips videos lately. Books are essential for improving all types of intelligence and self-awareness. I intend to spend more time reading. Thanks for the recommendations!
There is serious power in 90 minutes per day, everyday. It’s the consistency which adds up and I am excited for your reading reawakening! Thank you for commenting and letting me know too!
fingers crossed for the algorithm, but I think I can articulate why I appreciate your teaching style now, Jordan. It seems like you're willing to break things down in a way that certain New Age youtube gurus choose not to. You're willing to translate things into, for lack of a better term, common English. You don't just expect people to understand concepts "on a soul level", you don't overexplain with wordy prose and you're upfront about how you've attained your knowledge through books and the people who wrote them, rather than through your intuition or "channeling" abilities alone. You encourage viewers to practice educating themselves, and that growing in this deep way can be attainable for anyone, without blowing your money on online courses or classes that may or may not benefit you at all. and I appreciate that.
You're right of course about books, but it's so much easier to be a dope, getting dopamine hits from online content. I'll stop commenting now, so I can think about going for a walk.
This channel is great. There is a sense groundedness in the way you express yourself, also no hints of not being genuine so far. First channel I have seen so far that is actively discouraging the viewers to watch it, but instead encouraging to read the source material in the description. Thank you
You got me! Nobody else has managed to get me on to reading in the past 8 years of my education and so on! I must be picking up some better habits as decided to stop dissociating two days ago using screens which has been a really big drug for me. So I'm a video addict and I've gone 2/3 days without a screen. Thank you for your genuine care xx
Love reading this - and you’re going to enjoy the post I’m putting out in a few hours. Likewise making the pledge to take 3 days from RUclips videos per week too - can relate to your path ✌🏻
The best feeling ever is to be your own curator. After you've read as a jacked mule and that you have "sat down" with some deep and extensive exploration of matters as books can provide, there's a moment when you catch yourself in delicious roundtables talks with all the people you've studied before and the one you are reading at the moment. 😂Sometimes it's a mad house, but it sure as hell is fun! Imagination goes wild when you're reading hundred or thousand-year-old books and try to speculate what would be reality like when they wrote that text.
Your eyes are so soulful as is your voice.. It's like being able to sense that depth out of which your voice and gaze are coming. For people who would like to work with you, but can't afford the fee, is there any other way that we can learn from you especially as it comes to developing a daily practice of becoming more ensouled/embodied. Thank you.
Welcome, and thank you. If you do want to go further then check out my shadow work playlist (and the full formal course) which is 1/10th the price of 1-1 work. It's a great place for structured learning over 6 months or so.
Finding ways to increase blood flow & specifically increasing adrenaline after consuming knowledge helps your brain recall the information ( if the gym doesn't do it for you maybe find some other form of moving your body, a simple cold shower can be quick no physically taxing way more mentally taxing process if you're more intellectual it makes sense what the human body was designed for moving ( also it ties into the message of this video if you just replace books with movement & sedentary lifestyle with mindless consumption of stuff on the internet 🌸🦋💗
Totally agree on books! I started my spiritual exploration over 30 years ago, so I only had books to teach me this stuff, no internet. I think this grounded me in ways I see absent in, for example, New Age. This also helped me tremendously with discernment. Good advice.
Thank you for the reminder to read more. Advice taken, and three of your recommended titles are in hand to hopefully be read by the new year. Off-grid cabin, dogs, books, cold, fire, food and introspection. For now, while I have internet, I'll keep watching videos. ;-)
Hey Jordan, just discovered your channel and I must say I am happy I did. Very excited to learn from you and the library in your brain haha. Thanks for your work 🙏🏻
I totally agree with this. Modern/instant spirituality: listening to those short stories on Instagram en TikTok about the law of attraction and bits of ascended masters. True spirituality is going on a journey of self-discovery, or you can say doing inner work. Yes, going within. Getting to know your shadow and accepting that part of yourself. Dealing with your urges, temptations, and addictions. It's a lonely journey and if you've had trauma from your childhood then it is painful. There is a lot to say about what is to be done to walk the path of spirituality, but this is just to give an idea. If i can say one word why is necessary to go through all that, what I've mentioned above is : FREEDOM
This hit home. However I feel I'm a consuming addict, never ready to create as need to always watch one more video, one more podcast, one more book on the topic. Would love some thoughts on how to grt out of this loop. Meditation and journalling are slowly helping me too. And less self hate and stronger belief in one self. Maybe I've answered my request myself and I'm on the right path so no need for your thoughts 😂
Agree! I’ve started spending more time on reading books instead of relying on the resources from social media. I look forward how I will transform with this delayed gratification.
It's been a game changer for me - my first year of committed reading was about one or two books per week, and continuing this pace for the last four years has been life changing. It's cheap, its easy and it's deeply healing. Got about 250+ recommendations on this channel if you want to stack your shelves, Summer!
Steiner was a genius! I once spent four months working in an anthroposophical community in Germany and likewise see the value of bio-dynamic farming & Waldorf education! Many contributions from one man - super inspirational
Love this shit man it's so easy to get caught in a loop of mindless consumption, even audiobooks can fall into this category, if your not truly concentrating on what is being siad, it's not at all surprising if you take a second to think about it all the apps / social media arnt designed to bring you quality information & make your life better there designed to keep you on the sight or watching as long as humanly possible & it's all free at the tip of our fingers I find nowadays people don't even understand there's a difference between intellectually / conceptually understanding of something & having in-depth experiential knowledge ( with an open enough mind you can intellectually understand anything but it's almost empty or internally meaningless unless at some point you attempt to integrate the intellectual idea into your life & through the experience you'll know truly for yourself ( that's one of the reasons I truly admire what your doing because you're taking the information not only integrating it into your own life but putting in the work to help others integrate it themselves 💗🦋🌸
Yes, for sure - and the major challenge as we develop is creating the capacity to ‘integrate’ those increasingly more complex ideas or moralities. Beyond black and white, working in the messy middles. Appreciate your support and contribution!
@@jordanthornton I appreciate you & i think at times It can be exceptionally challenging to actually integrate the lessons & information in life ( it's one of the reasons I love learning about habits & ways to concistently change diving a bit deeper attempting to find root cause problem solving not just attempting to focus on the surface level greatly helps in the long run from my experiences so far ) lots of love man hope you have an awesome day you've greatly improved my life ( I went to the library, & am now actively learning you really inspired me brotha I am eternally great fully I was really addicted to consuming information via the internet & know have a much more wholesome way of consuming & learning also my sleep 😴 has improved simply from reading before bed instead of using the phone as I said I'm eternity great fully I hope you have an amazing life! 🔥❤☺
Appreciate your work Jordan, would you consider uploading as a podcast as well? I’m considering deleting RUclips for a few months but very much enjoy your content..
Michael, thank you! I’m afraid that podcasting isn’t my aim anytime soon, however. I do take inspiration from the solo-podcast style of single-take teaching with minimal editing. Think it’s truly healing for our attention spans. You taking time away from RUclips for general reset or hermitage in the forest? 🌲
@@jordanthornton Hey Jordan, I was t very clear, that’s actually what I meant. Just uploading the audio of your current RUclips channel to a podcast platform. Ha. Pretty close. I was a nightclub promoter back in the day and I’ve been living like a hermit for six years now outside a small town in Ireland. We’ve been reading on similar topics. And on similar paths. But perhaps exploring different modalities and from somewhat different outlooks. I’m just coming to the end of a four year spiritual emergency and RUclips seems to be one of my last hiding places/distractions. Dig your work mate. Hope you’ll enjoy mine when I emerge from the cocoon. Be lucky.
@@michaelquinn4761 Rural hermit life is the dream - and such a great polarity from club promoting, an interesting journey I'm sure. Four year emergence is no joke - I can only imagine the depths and turbulence along the way, thank you for sharing a little. Are you planning on going even deeper into seclusion / offline time to create or write something?
@@jordanthornton No. Just trying to give some more space for the old pain to surface and birth itself. I spent most of my life trying to be extraordinary and now the main focus is just trying to be ordinary, and find a happiness in that. Getting there. So no great project at the moment. Reading, lifting weights and walking the dog is enough for me. Long term I do hope to be part of mainstreaming (and legitimising) thought in the area of demonic energy and possession states though, and working to help those who are suffering in that area, working on effective modalities for its treatment, etc but we’ll see where fate takes me. You have a plan for your journey? Or your just allowing this all to unfold and see where it takes you?
@@michaelquinn4761 I love to hear a fellow helpers plans, and likewise love the practicality of reading, walking and lifting, Michael. Current plan is to spend the next decade consistently expanding my public speaking & 1-1 therapeutic skills to 'world-class levels'. I enjoy the growth and recognise my capacity to be a leading figure in this space by the 2030's and will start writing books about what I've learned during that time too. But for now it's persistent showing up, doing my best to stay as ethically and morally aligned as I can with behind the scenes spiritual practice - always watching for the places where I might go astray :)
You gat a REAL GOOD camera man, what do you use? This image is crystal!!! I am a horror writer with about half a million views via 3 narration channels in about 3 months give or take, so I LOVE delving into this sort of stuff! I based my apocalyptical series THE MOUNTAIN (on Dead Man Talkings Forest of Fear, who also does the only UNCUT and UNRATED version...I would go with that version and its in parts or in complete 4 hour version) or THE OLYPIC MOUNTAIN SERIES on Mr. Creeps and its as THE MOUNTAIN on Entropic Society (most of the recent views are from Mr. Creeps and his 900k subs, plus he has my work on his spotify, itunes and apple podcast...CREEPSCAST, but its an older Lovecraftian story under a compilation 😈😎😇
Hey, this all sounds great! The camera isn't that great, actually! It's a Sony A6400 with standard 18-55mm kit lens. I shoot at between 22-25mm and upload in 4K. The reason it looks better is good studio lighting, post-production editing and colour grading in addition to having a high-quality microphone boomed overhead (RODE NTG) which makes it all 'feel' more professional! Hope this helps!
Hello Brother, just wanna say I really appreciate all your insights & am greatfull for having found your channel. I subbed after watching the 1st video of yours I saw. Keep up the good work.
One of the few books that I've purchased and never felt drawn to actually studying - I'm not the guy to answer your question unfortunately! Will certainly get around to it when the timing is right.
@@jordanthornton I think we are always led to what we need along the way in every phase of our development. Thank you for responding. I am really enjoying your content and am finding it relevant to where I am currently on my journey.
I read about 1/4 of A course in Miracles. I gained some incredible understanding but then became somewhat overwhelmed by the weight of it. It also had a physical energy that made me want to part from it, so I did.
My channel is called The Alchemy of the Spirit, and I create content for Romanian public. I planned to create a post on the difference between spiritual materialism/ spiritual bypassing and true enlightenment. There are people who read the books and in the same way in which you study at the university or school, while reading you think you learned and you know, but as soon as you close the book you realize you cannot reproduce one single sentence out of it by heart. And there are people who have visions or an urge for spirituality and after that they search for the meaning of their quest, or thirst and stumble upon the books that clarify what they felt or dreamt. This is true alchemy. Taking the information, adding in your own blood and converting it into knowledge. That's when you trully get what Jung said in the Face to Face interview about belief in God. He said: I don't need to believe, I know.
Yes, I agree with much of what you’re saying and took a look at your channel too. Great upload consistency & teaching direction, we certainly need more roots and assimilation being highlighted in this work - thank you for showing up and teaching! 🌲
Likewise typically reading anywhere between 4 or 5 at once, finishing around four per week with 3/4 per day reading currently - but it changes depending on season. Good to hear of your own reading habits!
How do you actually capture the notes on all these books? Do you have a setup that actively cross-relates ideas from one book to another? I would assume that by reading so much in one field you'd find interesting concepts that are interrelating across different sub-generes that most are not aware of.
I store them in separate google docs and make no effort to cross-breed them. I trust that making 500+ videos on RUclips + my courses is the natural point of synthesis. It's going well!
I've been searching the book Mysticism by Evelyn Underhill thag you recommended in India. Am not being able to find the exact book. Could you share the link from where you got it from and if it works in other countries
I purchased my copy from amazon, but I believe it's in the public domain now because it's over 100 years old. You could try searching for pdfs online alternatively - good luck, its an excellent book.
How do you afford all those books ? I have a small collection of hand picked books that I refer to and revisit time and time again They have served me well alas I can't indulge in such luxuries For me once I learned their lessons and messages my learning was completed guess I am lucky Because I now know all that I need for myself Fortunately I chose quality over quantity
Books are incredibly cheap, and I’ve prioritised the library over holidays / luxuries etc - you can get 100 secondhand books for under £1000 in most cases.
Hi, first timer here. Ok, so this contradicts what you are saying but with your voice and your energy, you making RUclips videos doing book readings aloud (maybe encourage reading along) of a few of your favorite books might be beneficial to many. I have never been good at processing written words....
I appreciate what you're saying (thank you) but I unfortunately cannot imagine any possible future where I devote my time to reading books out loud for people. Controversy aside, I believe that dependence on audiobooks keeps people more limited than they could be. It's wasted opportunity. Genetic challenges aside, the skill of reading and information absorption can be learned for the vast majority of people - even if it takes years of persistent effort!
Am looking for the Evelyn Underhill Mysticism book,.. she has a few with that word in the title, having trouble figuring out which is the right one. I would like to look into a few of these books,.. could you list the books titles and authors please?
Look for the version of Mysticism which has the most pages - should be a large book, and it’s simply titled ‘Mysticism’! The book stack can be paused in one of the frames at the start of the video and you can search the titles + author from there too! Happy reading - there are so many good ones here!
1:54 - 1:59 Is that a smirk i see!? Are you laughing at me mister!? With that sacred sexuality book and the astrology at the bottom. Tellin me to (get-off) line one moment.. And then bring up the 52 long video series you have for me.. hehehe
Personally find them to be worthless unless I’m looking for edu-tainment where I basically feel good but forget most of the information. Physical book in hand = best for full motor engagement, everytime!
Exactly, it’s a problem! I’ll cover myself in dust and debris, slouch over and speak in a non-stop caffeinated whine next time to balance myself out lol

Love reading this - and you’re going to enjoy the post I’m putting out in a few hours. Likewise making the pledge to take 3 days from RUclips videos per week too - can relate to your path ✌🏻
The best feeling ever is to be your own curator. After you've read as a jacked mule and that you have "sat down" with some deep and extensive exploration of matters as books can provide, there's a moment when you catch yourself in delicious roundtables talks with all the people you've studied before and the one you are reading at the moment. 😂Sometimes it's a mad house, but it sure as hell is fun! Imagination goes wild when you're reading hundred or thousand-year-old books and try to speculate what would be reality like when they wrote that text.
I LOVE this description - the roundtable, exactly this. I experience something similar occasionally!
Your eyes are so soulful as is your voice.. It's like being able to sense that depth out of which your voice and gaze are coming. For people who would like to work with you, but can't afford the fee, is there any other way that we can learn from you especially as it comes to developing a daily practice of becoming more ensouled/embodied. Thank you.
Welcome, and thank you. If you do want to go further then check out my shadow work playlist (and the full formal course) which is 1/10th the price of 1-1 work. It's a great place for structured learning over 6 months or so.
There is something very authentic and grounded about your energy.
Thank you, always doing my best to minimise distance between myself and the screen. Appreciate your witnessing and engagement 🌲
You don't need the gym. Just lift all your books. 😁
Finding ways to increase blood flow & specifically increasing adrenaline after consuming knowledge helps your brain recall the information ( if the gym doesn't do it for you maybe find some other form of moving your body, a simple cold shower can be quick no physically taxing way more mentally taxing process if you're more intellectual it makes sense what the human body was designed for moving ( also it ties into the message of this video if you just replace books with movement & sedentary lifestyle with mindless consumption of stuff on the internet 🌸🦋💗
This is so right. I need to do more of this. Thank you 🙏 ❤️
Glad to provide inspiration or motivation - wishing you the best!
Totally agree on books! I started my spiritual exploration over 30 years ago, so I only had books to teach me this stuff, no internet. I think this grounded me in ways I see absent in, for example, New Age. This also helped me tremendously with discernment. Good advice.
An experienc that I want to bring back - wonderful.
Thank you for the reminder to read more. Advice taken, and three of your recommended titles are in hand to hopefully be read by the new year. Off-grid cabin, dogs, books, cold, fire, food and introspection. For now, while I have internet, I'll keep watching videos. ;-)
Love to hear it!
Hey Jordan, just discovered your channel and I must say I am happy I did. Very excited to learn from you and the library in your brain haha. Thanks for your work 🙏🏻
Algorithmic blessings all around - pleasure to connect, Yasmene and happy to share!
I totally agree with this. Modern/instant spirituality: listening to those short stories on Instagram en TikTok about the law of attraction and bits of ascended masters. True spirituality is going on a journey of self-discovery, or you can say doing inner work. Yes, going within. Getting to know your shadow and accepting that part of yourself. Dealing with your urges, temptations, and addictions. It's a lonely journey and if you've had trauma from your childhood then it is painful. There is a lot to say about what is to be done to walk the path of spirituality, but this is just to give an idea. If i can say one word why is necessary to go through all that, what I've mentioned above is : FREEDOM
Beautifully written, thank you for sharing. Freedom really is the goal, and inspiring the same in others.
Hmm, this felt like a very personal affront, haha. True words that came to me at the perfect time!
Yes - I specifically had YOU in mind 🤫 Hahaha - enjoy the BOOKS.
thank you i needed that
My pleasure - right here with you in keeping our feet on the earth and trying my best to research deeper!
This hit home. However I feel I'm a consuming addict, never ready to create as need to always watch one more video, one more podcast, one more book on the topic. Would love some thoughts on how to grt out of this loop. Meditation and journalling are slowly helping me too. And less self hate and stronger belief in one self. Maybe I've answered my request myself and I'm on the right path so no need for your thoughts 😂
Just discovered your channel! Never stop! You are awesome! ❤️
Thank you, Heather. Appreciate these words.
mesmerizing voice tune
Thanks for listening 🌲
Thanks. I really appreciate this
My pleasure, Linda. Glad to have provided some value to you.
Agree! I’ve started spending more time on reading books instead of relying on the resources from social media. I look forward how I will transform with this delayed gratification.
It's been a game changer for me - my first year of committed reading was about one or two books per week, and continuing this pace for the last four years has been life changing. It's cheap, its easy and it's deeply healing. Got about 250+ recommendations on this channel if you want to stack your shelves, Summer!
@@jordanthornton Thank you. Appreciate your feedback. :)
I'm studying Rudolf Steiner right now. Love occult works.
Steiner was a genius! I once spent four months working in an anthroposophical community in Germany and likewise see the value of bio-dynamic farming & Waldorf education! Many contributions from one man - super inspirational
Thank you for doing your best in fulfilling bring these gifts into this world.
You are most welcome - pleasure to be sharing these resources and teachings!
Love this shit man it's so easy to get caught in a loop of mindless consumption, even audiobooks can fall into this category, if your not truly concentrating on what is being siad, it's not at all surprising if you take a second to think about it all the apps / social media arnt designed to bring you quality information & make your life better there designed to keep you on the sight or watching as long as humanly possible & it's all free at the tip of our fingers I find nowadays people don't even understand there's a difference between intellectually / conceptually understanding of something & having in-depth experiential knowledge ( with an open enough mind you can intellectually understand anything but it's almost empty or internally meaningless unless at some point you attempt to integrate the intellectual idea into your life & through the experience you'll know truly for yourself ( that's one of the reasons I truly admire what your doing because you're taking the information not only integrating it into your own life but putting in the work to help others integrate it themselves 💗🦋🌸
Yes, for sure - and the major challenge as we develop is creating the capacity to ‘integrate’ those increasingly more complex ideas or moralities. Beyond black and white, working in the messy middles. Appreciate your support and contribution!
@@jordanthornton I appreciate you & i think at times It can be exceptionally challenging to actually integrate the lessons & information in life ( it's one of the reasons I love learning about habits & ways to concistently change diving a bit deeper attempting to find root cause problem solving not just attempting to focus on the surface level greatly helps in the long run from my experiences so far ) lots of love man hope you have an awesome day you've greatly improved my life ( I went to the library, & am now actively learning you really inspired me brotha I am eternally great fully I was really addicted to consuming information via the internet & know have a much more wholesome way of consuming & learning also my sleep 😴 has improved simply from reading before bed instead of using the phone as I said I'm eternity great fully I hope you have an amazing life! 🔥❤☺
@@Di4B7O Absolutely beautiful to hear - on so many levels! Keep that holistic health growing my man!
Definitely needed to hear this, ha ha.
You're most welcome - glad it landed!
Now this is different ..
had to comment and say good luck, and you came to me right in time ..
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hisham, its a pleasure to connect and I appreciate you taking the time to comment and let me know!
Appreciate your work Jordan, would you consider uploading as a podcast as well? I’m considering deleting RUclips for a few months but very much enjoy your content..
Michael, thank you! I’m afraid that podcasting isn’t my aim anytime soon, however. I do take inspiration from the solo-podcast style of single-take teaching with minimal editing. Think it’s truly healing for our attention spans.
You taking time away from RUclips for general reset or hermitage in the forest? 🌲
@@jordanthornton Hey Jordan, I was t very clear, that’s actually what I meant. Just uploading the audio of your current RUclips channel to a podcast platform. Ha. Pretty close. I was a nightclub promoter back in the day and I’ve been living like a hermit for six years now outside a small town in Ireland. We’ve been reading on similar topics. And on similar paths. But perhaps exploring different modalities and from somewhat different outlooks. I’m just coming to the end of a four year spiritual emergency and RUclips seems to be one of my last hiding places/distractions. Dig your work mate. Hope you’ll enjoy mine when I emerge from the cocoon. Be lucky.
@@michaelquinn4761 Rural hermit life is the dream - and such a great polarity from club promoting, an interesting journey I'm sure. Four year emergence is no joke - I can only imagine the depths and turbulence along the way, thank you for sharing a little. Are you planning on going even deeper into seclusion / offline time to create or write something?
@@jordanthornton No. Just trying to give some more space for the old pain to surface and birth itself. I spent most of my life trying to be extraordinary and now the main focus is just trying to be ordinary, and find a happiness in that. Getting there. So no great project at the moment. Reading, lifting weights and walking the dog is enough for me. Long term I do hope to be part of mainstreaming (and legitimising) thought in the area of demonic energy and possession states though, and working to help those who are suffering in that area, working on effective modalities for its treatment, etc but we’ll see where fate takes me. You have a plan for your journey? Or your just allowing this all to unfold and see where it takes you?
@@michaelquinn4761 I love to hear a fellow helpers plans, and likewise love the practicality of reading, walking and lifting, Michael.
Current plan is to spend the next decade consistently expanding my public speaking & 1-1 therapeutic skills to 'world-class levels'. I enjoy the growth and recognise my capacity to be a leading figure in this space by the 2030's and will start writing books about what I've learned during that time too.
But for now it's persistent showing up, doing my best to stay as ethically and morally aligned as I can with behind the scenes spiritual practice - always watching for the places where I might go astray :)
Thank you I needed to hear this today
Kim, you are most welcome - an interesting topic within the ‘spiritual world’ for sure 🌲 Wishing you my best!
Basically reading many perspectives helps one to generate a broad frame and understand context. A lot of istagram memes are just bits out of context.
This is much better. Good job.
Appreciate that 🌲
You gat a REAL GOOD camera man, what do you use? This image is crystal!!! I am a horror writer with about half a million views via 3 narration channels in about 3 months give or take, so I LOVE delving into this sort of stuff! I based my apocalyptical series THE MOUNTAIN (on Dead Man Talkings Forest of Fear, who also does the only UNCUT and UNRATED version...I would go with that version and its in parts or in complete 4 hour version) or THE OLYPIC MOUNTAIN SERIES on Mr. Creeps and its as THE MOUNTAIN on Entropic Society (most of the recent views are from Mr. Creeps and his 900k subs, plus he has my work on his spotify, itunes and apple podcast...CREEPSCAST, but its an older Lovecraftian story under a compilation 😈😎😇
I talk about THE VEIL in my series THE MOUNTAIN, love hearing it elswhere!!! 😈😎😇
Hey, this all sounds great! The camera isn't that great, actually! It's a Sony A6400 with standard 18-55mm kit lens. I shoot at between 22-25mm and upload in 4K. The reason it looks better is good studio lighting, post-production editing and colour grading in addition to having a high-quality microphone boomed overhead (RODE NTG) which makes it all 'feel' more professional!
Hope this helps!
@@jordanthornton It does, thank you!!!! 😈😎😇
@@jordanthornton You've cranked up the saturation over time and it shows. That's meant to be an expression of appreciation.
Hello Brother, just wanna say I really appreciate all your insights & am greatfull for having found your channel. I subbed after watching the 1st video of yours I saw. Keep up the good work.
Paul, thank you for making the extra effort to comment and connect - it’s my pleasure, plenty more on the way, twice per week! 🌞🌲
Thank you! Dang, I do wish that reading would fix everything, but I've tried it and it hasn't provided the benefits that I had hoped to achieve.
I am curious to know your thoughts on ‘A Course in Miracles’ and the neurological mind training that the workbook portion of the course includes.
One of the few books that I've purchased and never felt drawn to actually studying - I'm not the guy to answer your question unfortunately! Will certainly get around to it when the timing is right.
@@jordanthornton I think we are always led to what we need along the way in every phase of our development. Thank you for responding. I am really enjoying your content and am finding it relevant to where I am currently on my journey.
I read about 1/4 of A course in Miracles. I gained some incredible understanding but then became somewhat overwhelmed by the weight of it. It also had a physical energy that made me want to part from it, so I did.
Enjoy listening.. Great channel ✨️✨️
Misty, hey! Appreciate your attention and taking the time to comment - plenty more on the way! 🌲
@@jordanthornton looking forward to it, Jordan!
My channel is called The Alchemy of the Spirit, and I create content for Romanian public. I planned to create a post on the difference between spiritual materialism/ spiritual bypassing and true enlightenment. There are people who read the books and in the same way in which you study at the university or school, while reading you think you learned and you know, but as soon as you close the book you realize you cannot reproduce one single sentence out of it by heart. And there are people who have visions or an urge for spirituality and after that they search for the meaning of their quest, or thirst and stumble upon the books that clarify what they felt or dreamt. This is true alchemy. Taking the information, adding in your own blood and converting it into knowledge. That's when you trully get what Jung said in the Face to Face interview about belief in God. He said: I don't need to believe, I know.
Yes, I agree with much of what you’re saying and took a look at your channel too. Great upload consistency & teaching direction, we certainly need more roots and assimilation being highlighted in this work - thank you for showing up and teaching! 🌲
Read a book? But, but...RUclips.
Do you read more than one book at a time? I usually have 4 or 5 on the go at a time and I dont know if it is a good practice..
Likewise typically reading anywhere between 4 or 5 at once, finishing around four per week with 3/4 per day reading currently - but it changes depending on season. Good to hear of your own reading habits!
Thank you. 🥰🙏
You’re most welcome - have a beautiful day!

How do you actually capture the notes on all these books? Do you have a setup that actively cross-relates ideas from one book to another? I would assume that by reading so much in one field you'd find interesting concepts that are interrelating across different sub-generes that most are not aware of.
I store them in separate google docs and make no effort to cross-breed them. I trust that making 500+ videos on RUclips + my courses is the natural point of synthesis. It's going well!
I've been searching the book Mysticism by Evelyn Underhill thag you recommended in India. Am not being able to find the exact book. Could you share the link from where you got it from and if it works in other countries
I purchased my copy from amazon, but I believe it's in the public domain now because it's over 100 years old. You could try searching for pdfs online alternatively - good luck, its an excellent book.
Thanks!
You’re welcome!
How do you afford all those books ?
I have a small collection of hand picked books that I refer to and revisit time and time again
They have served me well alas I can't indulge in such luxuries
For me once I learned their lessons and messages my learning was completed guess I am lucky
Because I now know all that I need for myself
Fortunately I chose quality over quantity
Books are incredibly cheap, and I’ve prioritised the library over holidays / luxuries etc - you can get 100 secondhand books for under £1000 in most cases.
amazing video! do you have any idea how i can find the inner west as epub?
Not that I know of - buy the book! They are cheap and worthwhile.
Hi, first timer here. Ok, so this contradicts what you are saying but with your voice and your energy, you making RUclips videos doing book readings aloud (maybe encourage reading along) of a few of your favorite books might be beneficial to many. I have never been good at processing written words....
I appreciate what you're saying (thank you) but I unfortunately cannot imagine any possible future where I devote my time to reading books out loud for people.
Controversy aside, I believe that dependence on audiobooks keeps people more limited than they could be. It's wasted opportunity.
Genetic challenges aside, the skill of reading and information absorption can be learned for the vast majority of people - even if it takes years of persistent effort!
Have you looked at Valentine Tomberg and Rudolf Steiner
Studied Steiner and anthroposophy a fair bit, but not Tomberg - thanks for the suggestion, Mindy!
I’m a certified coach and counselor training in psychosynthesis I do watch you from time to time and listen to you. I appreciate you
Am looking for the Evelyn Underhill Mysticism book,.. she has a few with that word in the title, having trouble figuring out which is the right one.
I would like to look into a few of these books,..
could you list the books titles and authors please?
Look for the version of Mysticism which has the most pages - should be a large book, and it’s simply titled ‘Mysticism’! The book stack can be paused in one of the frames at the start of the video and you can search the titles + author from there too! Happy reading - there are so many good ones here!
1:54 - 1:59
Is that a smirk i see!?
Are you laughing at me mister!?
With that sacred sexuality book and the astrology at the bottom.
Tellin me to (get-off) line one moment..
And then bring up the 52 long video series you have for me.. hehehe
Always working in the paradox - wishing you all my best!
@@jordanthornton Hmm I'm going to reflect on that. Thank you.
Algoritmooo
All hail the robot overlords 🌲
What is your view on audio books ?
Personally find them to be worthless unless I’m looking for edu-tainment where I basically feel good but forget most of the information. Physical book in hand = best for full motor engagement, everytime!
He is looking direct into your soul, with those 👀🤤
I’m actually looking into the camera lens 🤫
Your slow deep voice and posturing, and good looks, it's so disgusting 🤢
But you'll be fine because you look good
Exactly, it’s a problem! I’ll cover myself in dust and debris, slouch over and speak in a non-stop caffeinated whine next time to balance myself out lol
