Samy stay strong, love yourself at every given opportunity however simple it seems just writing a gratitude journal!! I came out of 2 yrs of complete and all consuming hell several months ago. You have been chosen to do this because you are strong enough to clear the unconscious patterening of the collective, you will come to learn that it's no longer your crap your clearing from your energy field. You are powerful. Know your worthy. You are loved. You are very much protected xxx
I feel you 💜👍bin there,it’s coming back at hard Times !Think the Sun is always hidden behind the clouds,and never ever anything stays the same for long in Duality!
Dark night may be resistance....maybe you are just pushing up against a “blockage” on your path towards awakening/integration. Push dude push! ......betcha never heard that before ;) Actually be gentle with yourself. 🤗
I embrace my flaws and improve, never live your life to other people’s expectations this will steal your joy and happiness... be true to yourself always
Didnt know of this dude til today and already have watched 7 of his videos. This guy knows about life mentally, physically, spiritually, celestially even omniversally!
I’ve been feeling unworthy, insecure, and remembering a lot of my trauma. I’ve been wanting to heal and I forgot about my spirituality. I forgot how calm I was. A co worker and I the other day and he reminded me about it. I found this video trying to find my spirit again and it made me realize I just need to accept and love my spirt again. Learn all over again how I deserve to love and grow with and into anything that’s positive

There is no person, system, religious group or other groups of people who are involved in creating the right way to be in living together that has been attractive to me..lam of the belief that loving kindness is always the way to be. We are all here in our uniqueness, lessons to learn, and learning how to treat ourselves and other people and the earth . l am a work in progress and so are we all. Being present in each precious moment of life and being able to be true to yourself and the energies of living with love for all life....threre is always a drama free energy, benefits the world, is a joyous experience of creativity, and contains the powers of generosity, compassion, peace, justice for all life, and not having to live with comparisons and competition for living. Just simply being aware of what you think, feel, and being present in your own life in your truth and your heart's knowing that love is a treasure and is everlasting. Love is free and available to us all at anytime and we all equally have the power to create our future with our love of being.
It is always refreshing to find someone who is telling it like it is and who is doing their part to keeping it real rather than painting everything as "white light" lol
As I sat here having my own pity party, questioning my goodness, I came across this vid and it brought back a memory from my 'spiritual' journey. A reverend I once knew said, when a horse thinks of god would it not see itself as reference. Which would be on the basis of know thyself, that message has been since the beginning of infinity. I am thankful for the reminder.
I believe we are all enlightened. Truly. It is our rejection of the current moment and the clouding of ourselves in rejected and unhealed pain that we separate from our true being. Many mystic schools such as Zen carry this same teaching- that “enlightenment” is within us, that this inherent peace and happiness is of our true nature. It is simply a process of Being, of stillness, of presence that allows us to see what beauty we’ve always had, what beautiful beings we always were.
This video was made four years ago, but it is such divine timing. Finding this page was life changing and healing for me in this time. There is so much content on spirituality on the internet, especially now in 2024. I have never felt so timelessly seen, validated or encouraged. This is the real deal, He is the real deal, and you can tell by him stating he himself is unenlightened. This guidance has allowed me to regain my motivation to continue on this path. With great awareness has come great shame.Thank you for this.
Thank you for the love. This was beautiful. We're all on the path surmounting our unique challenges and acknowledging and embracing our brokenness. Once we embrace them, we can transcend them.
Thank you so much for this video. THIS was the exact reminder that I needed. I cry now. You reminded me that healing is more about integration. I looked at all my wounds, but looking at them and ACCEPTING them is a different thing. I had a massive outburst of rage that showed me parts of me that I don't accept... Things I thought I healed long ago..... Like neediness, attachment to approval of others, people pleasing... One can sit and observe. That's great. But actually accepting that rage, fear, grief - heartbreak, loss, anxiety, attachments,.... are a part of you, that they belong to you - this is the real process. As soon as we start honouring EVERY emotion - instead of just letting it pass.... I think this is the real union with self. Treating everything that arises with respect, gratitude and love.. Welcoming it. This sounds so super easy, but it is a huge task. Especially when you doubt your decisions, people around you think you are going crazy... But your heart knows the way. When this little gem of silence in your heart becomes your home, then you are able to welcome also the negative emotions. This is the practice.... And also: Being able to ask for help! This is a huge one. Don't be afraid to reach out! To family, friends, therapists or coaches... This can be a huge help. Happy ascension everyone!!🙏🏻💪😄
I really get a lot out of your videos. I had a minor epiphany during this one. Acceptance equals awareness, awareness equals shining light. I’ve been trying to live ‘better’ by avoiding and suppressing and trying to walk a straight line. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
I really needed to hear this! I have been on my spiritual journey for around 4 years now and I honestly feel that I have recognised my shadow aspects (that’s been a difficult road to travel 😬) and I am truthful about these traits with those close to me whom I love and trust. However, although I can see these negatives parts and behaviours, I definitely have not truly accepted nor found peace with them, hence I am always judging myself and suffering. I loved this video, it was SO helpful. I thank you 🙏🌸🌈
Let me tell you how I accepted myself As Is. no preconditions when I was absolutely living in an unacceptable drug filled life. There’s a flip I stumbled on. Accept yourself just as you are now. You need not get “better” to accept All if you. The balking that you feel is confusing acceptance with Approval. No. No approve. Accept the unacceptable parts of you. Not approve. Accept is agreeing w reality that it there. Like the unlikable parts. Hug and send kindness to the ugly vile parts of you. Love the unlovable parts of you. Once you own these parts you turn them over to the Holy Spirit for correction. AlwYs resisting these secrets dark parts of us we Pretend them away. They come back. We act and pretend them away. We confused approving of these dark things with saying they’re fine. It’s true we have this shadow. We can’t give it up to the Holy Spirit unless we OWN IT. pretending it away don’t work. Plus. Do I not destroy my enemy by making him my friend.
My family & friends always tell me you were a better person before. They constantly asking me if I'm mentally ill. I told them I just got sick of keeping up with the pretence and could no longer wear that mask which was hiding the real me away.
"Don't compare yourself to some else today but rather compare yourself to who you were yesterday"~ Jordon B. Peterson, "Praise and Blame are two sides of the same coin, you can't have one without inviting the other" Alan Watts the medium middle way does not require nor seek either of those. This session helped both these Gems of quotes to surface with minimal effort. Thank you so much, i have only seen several of these videos so far but each one has helped me immensely. Alan speaks of how the ego will jump of a level of spirituality and the spiritual game of life is merely a highbrow version of the regular one. Life and its intricacies exist and develop with the intention to be a efficient as possible which involves reducing effort, Manly P. Hall speaks "in order to learn to sing our best is not to force ourselves which damages the voice but rather to reduce effort, same thing in life."
Thank you for this... it's hard to accept myself sometimes, but you are absolutely right. There are a lot of things about myself that I dislike and by accepting them, I'm accepting that they are a part of me and then I feel a barage of judgement towards me. I hope one day sooner than later I will be accepting of who I am flaws and all...
This is such an important topic, I can not stress that enough! All those pseudo-spiritual people should watch this. Unfortunately they are often the ones that discredit the whole community and deter new people from even thinking about starting their own spiritual path. Thank you for bringing that up Nada, much appreciated!
You are so Beautiful Nada 💗 I love your energy. I love your gentleness, your simplicity, your humility. Thank you for sharing yourself, your energy, your wisdom 🙏
Thank you for your words here. After listening, I am actually drawn to meditation. For many of the self talk reasons you spoke of here I had lost my ability to meditate for several years. I feel a softness and acceptance in my heart in place of darkness, fear and anxiety. A simple acceptance is really all that is needed. I believe I can do that. Blessings
I've been thinking about this. On my spiritual journey I've noticed that over the past year I've had an attitude that I have never known before. I've struggled with wondering why I have feelings that seem very counter to others - they seem to be so loving and peaceful and the ideal. I often get angry, even feeling like I cannot stand someone or something. For about a year I've had problems with being envious of people. This wasn't just a small feeling, but truly feeling envious - and this is something I've NEVER felt before. I always pretty much considered myself excited for others. It astounded me so much I thought I was a different person who just was losing it. But what I came to realize is that the more I practiced going deeper in my spiritual jouney the more I recognize that it it likely an opening and even a purge, allowing me to see that deep down (and also at the surface), I have these feelings and characteristics that I need to acknowledge in order to be aware of them and work through them. It has been a challenge but I'm CERTAIN that is what's going on.
21:21 If we don’t bring awareness to a thing that we feel anxiety or misery over then the thing remains “fused” together, like a ball of wire where we can’t find the ends. It’s just a ball of confusion. There’s no way to dissolve it or resolve it or flush it without awareness, without attention, without looking at it as it is. Yes, what we resist, persists. Thank you for this very helpful talk. If I could ‘Like’ it 10 times I would.
I have always found the spiritual community to be quasi cultish with high unattainable expectations and an unspoken reign or hierarchy or snobbery!! The adulation of the young seekers is unhealthy and detrimental to the goal. It is just another road along the human experience with all the same pitfalls and successes. I have found the question to refining the journey is to ask what the underlying need is for the spiritual journey. I have found that dealing with the human challenges openly and honestly becomes or results in the journey becoming spiritual. Not the other way around. Thank you so much for the forum in which I can rant and release and not feel alone with my thoughts.
The most spiritual and at one I have ever felt with myself was when I became very sick, and needed a lot of serious surgery. I was in and out of hospital for over three years. It was a very difficult time. After I recovered I was a different person. It was the worst and yet the best time for me. I had such gratitude for every day. Everything just seemed better. I was really happy. I mean, really happy. Not just happy, but more content and not wanting. I was so broke, had a crap job, no girlfriend... I didn't care one bit. Now years later that feeling has not lasted. Life and everyday troubles has clouded that lovely feeling I once had of gratitude and acceptance. But, I still remember and I am going to try and find it again. It was a wonderful time for me. Having nothing, but honestly feeling like having everything. Back then I believed that being thankful was the secret to true happiness. I still feel this way. Thank you for posting your content. I relate so much. I greatly appreciate your modest and thoughtful words . ❤️
I see I go to your channel when I feel I need to hear something that brings me back into alignment. With your wisdom and comfortable voice in a tempo that feels so soothing to me, I feel supported to meet myself again. ❤ Grateful ❤
i want to share an Experience i had,,, i visited this one small church along time ago and i had a Spiritual Experience, this Spiritual Experience was so Powerful that my body began to shake and tremble.. i was shaking.. and i felt Gods Glory fall upon me and i Experienced a Peace which transends all understanding.. i cant explain IT with human words. And i felt very Light and Floaty and i thought i was going to float off the floor as i went up to take Communion. i tried to make other Spiritual Paths work and ive searched for God in many Religions and was even studying sufism and Islam.. i tired to make these paths word but it wasnt for me i guess... i also had a vision once and in The Vision i saw a cross that was outlined with a serene light dark blue lights outlining the cross and i heard A Voice call me by my name! But check this, after that vision i keep on seeing symbols of blue crossess everywhere i go.. symbolism!! Anywho i was searching for a long time to find God only to "Realize" that i was Searching for Something that was never lost but was with me the whole time. a Shocking Discovery which changed my outlook on life.
@@dumalun8388 its the notion that there are not just good or bad people in this world. We all have two sides a good side and a bad side. Through shadow work we explore our repressed selves! The benefits of shadow work is to accept ourselves fully for who we are, including the good and the bad. When the shadow is ignored the results usually consists of jealously rage and any other undesirable behaviors.
I rarely leave comments but I feel I need to do so to support this video. I saw people who label themselves as ‘spiritual’ in fact can sometimes have stronger ego. And they have trouble to even recognise it, and often defend when people point it out.
once somewhere I learned that life was all about spiritual growth, and everyone has challenges. But that its the reason were all here. Over lifetimes we grow. True Enlightened beings have no need to repeat this phase. I want you to know I really appreciate your perspective, and that the content resonates.
"I don't know if you've noticed but spiritual people are sometimes the most judgmental". I choked on my coffee at the profundity of this statement. Then laughed so much at myself and others. I needed to hear this. So true. Thank you.
We are all Spiritual beings. All paths are spiritual. Stop living in the land of ideals and labels. It only separates you from You. You are master of You. We are all awake. We came here, were born here awake. Popular knowledge will send you in endless circles that go nowhere. The only thing we need to do is focus on ourselves and expanding our awareness of ourselves. Be here, now. Attachments to everything else will fall away when we connect to ourselves in a deep way. And no, you don't have to claim what isn't truly yours. Let it go and it will go. The one thing we have a hard time achieving is simply being and let it be, which is the state of everything. I Am enlightened, and not the idealistic enlightenment that others believe. And wow! To hear someone say that spiritual people judge more, hmm. Since when do we go around the world taking census on 8 billion other people and comparing them? We do what we are taught, conditioned, or manipulated into doing. I Am light. I Am not limited to this limited body. We are change itself and we don't allow this to happen without resistance...and so we suffer. Another is believing we are not awake, enlightened, or perfect as well are. It's OK to not use the words others use to define our spiritual path. I don't have to practice being what I truly am. I just stopped being what the world told me I am. I Am Spirit.
Just found your channel and i absolutely love your videos. You are so genuine and yourself with your voice in itself being so comforting. Loving what you've been potting out mate. ❤️
I am really grateful for the effort you make to maintain this channel. You have helped me become aware of a lot of issues hiding in the shadows. God bless.
This was powerful for me. This helped me understand acceptance more deeply and made me realize I wasn't fully accepting myself even though I thought I was.
Your voice is so calm and gentle and the light music is all just perfect. Thankyou so much for sharing your peace. I am in desperate need of it right now. I go to sleep listening to your list of mixes. 🙏 be blessed 😌
I've had a spiritual backsliding as I hit the "real world." My peaceful, innocent boy-self has transformed into an unsure, disorganized guy-self. I think I need this video the most... as I research more into spirituality, I seem to want to put on that facade of enlightenment. But you are right... accepting those problems seem like the best way to start.
I wish I was one of your friends.. You seem to struggle with interpersonal connection a lot. I do too. Yet you have this channel, so you know your power and it's potential. 1. Some of your outfits are like deep earth fashion fab! 2. The freedom of letting the hair do it own thing! I know still material but like freeing and visually so. 3. Meditation is a mind party with the divine, beyond the intellect etc. inexpressible in words alone.I totally admire and respect you. You have become the man that you want others to seeish like.subscribe.
I watched your entire video. First, I'm extremely grateful for your authenticity. I see very few human beings being authentic. I have a few questions for you and I hope you give them some thought. What else is there besides self-acceptance? Consider that instead of self acceptance being the beginning of spirituality, perhaps self-acceptance is the WHOLE of spirituality with no end, ever. I'm offering this as guidance on your path as we must all walk our own. Your an authentic being and the world will benefit from more. Feel free to contact me directly if you're interested. Good luck my friend. Andrew
I'm guessing Nada shares your view, given that he posted the following quote by Jack Kornfield at the beginning of the video: 'Much of spirituality is self-acceptance. Maybe all of it.'
Daniel R Thank you for the comment. My question was intended for Nada, and perhaps I realize you now, as simply a means of reflection to see how deep self acceptance can go. The only thing that exists is consciousness which functions through particular body mind organisms. The only thing there is , is acceptance of this or not to which there are varying degrees hence the term self acceptance.. Self is simply synonymous here for consciousness. keep in mind that because there is no individual doer of actions that it is not within anyone’s control to accept this or not. The acceptance Happens through a body mind organism Who later realizes that it was never he or she who did the accepting or did the seeking or did the questioning but simply consciousness functioning through their particular body and mind. and if the seeking has begun through a particular human being it will continue until acceptance reaches the level in which that particular human being realizes that there is no individual and no personal doer. This understanding eradicates pride. I honestly this helps. Best wishes on your journey and anyone else reading this. Andrew
I ❤️ that music in the intro. Great video 👍😇 We all have to accept that no one is perfect, including ourselves. Anything praiseworthy is deserving of admiration in my opinion
What you're saying is very Zen. We never deny what we are feeling and craving. It's all fine. You must accept what you are (even though there is no "I" or "you" in ultimate reality). You must know "you" to make progress in spirituality. If you want to be enlightened in a Buddhist or Yogi sense, you must wake up to know "you". Never push away or cling - just let it all be. It is only knowing thyself that one can lose the ego, the illusion of "I". So, yes, you're right about self-acceptance, dear friend. Bravo! It is the truth. It is all a process. You're beautiful. We need to stop being ashamed of what we are: we are what we are -- and that is all fine in the current moment. Shame has no place on the path to enlightenment. Morality will follow self-acceptance. It all happens beautifully without effort. Clinging stops; aversions stop -- and clear-seeing begins. May you fulfill your deepest wish for happiness. Peace and enlightenment.
i have no anxiety , my mind is super charged . depression from time to time yes . burden of knowledge carry around and empathy just gets to you sometimes
Some folks, in fact, a LOT of folks I suspect, begin to awaken as a result of the invariable bitterness that comes from being born in a plastic age, and if true insight is arrived at by way of a bitter path, then bitterness too has its virtue. Despite what we've been molded to believe, it seems to me that a truer definition of the word "optimism" is, "the ability to see pessimism optimistically". ALL paths lead to what we need, and indeed, accept yourself and honor the truth of who you are WHERE you are. Intuition isn't universally developed because it compels us to walk a contrary path, for example, we're taught to believe that men aren't nearly as insightful, but what does your intuition tell you? You ARE the miracle; your job is to do the work to remember.
this is such a beautiful and necessary video. especially as i feel in the online community there is this ongoing tendency to idealise qualities that we categorise as 'spiritual' a lot. thank you for your wisdom.
I came across a video of yours a week or so ago and since then I’ve been hooked and look forward to watching as much as I can several times a day to get perspective on different topics; your insight, knowledge and opinions are amazing. Thank you 🙏🏼.
Thank you for your wisdom and words right now......boy oh boy I can hear you now.....awakening is such a personal journey. I want to be a good person, I want to uplift myself and others....but by whose standards???? Bad English I know but you will understand the meaning of it. I feel confused right now. Conditioning of a lifetime(63).......I'm figuring it out and I do the best I am able to......Thank you.
I am listening to this while doing my math homework because it calms me down and also makes me feel better about becoming more and more alone in my spiritual awakening. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. It helps more than you know.
Thank you for words. It gives a soothing sense of feelings. I have been in so much denial ,guilt and it gives sense of relief and hope that one day I will be successfully able to overcome my illusions and Ego and be my authentic self.
The path from moment awareness to being comfortable in being conscious is a one and rocky one! It has been years since I started to question the fabric of reality and just now I am coming to my senses in how to live alongside this awareness! Although it was hard, I am grateful that everything happened in divine timing. I wish you nothing bit love and positivity on your journey!
I've had low self esteem ny whole life. Im 24 and a girl and When I was small I thought I would grow up and become beautiful. Im at the end of my early 20s and I have the worst self confidence. My therapist told me I have Body Dysmorphia Disorder. The truth is that I have no self love and that Im afraid of someone making a negative comment about my appearance. I want to heal and Love myself and stop comparing myself with others. I truly believe im unworthy of love and that Im ugly and old looking. I just want to be happy and at peace with myself. Im on a journey to happiness and self love. I want to be happy and pretty
'Spiritual people are sometimes the most judgemental ' Finally someone said it! I thought I was the only one thinking this
Indeed my friend... but be very careful not to judge them for it. It's a vicious circle. Blessings to you!

@@AwakenInsight r u living in any jungle because its so quiet and greenery there ?
I wish sometimes I lived in a jungle...
Let me tell you how I accepted myself As Is. no preconditions when I was absolutely living in an unacceptable drug filled life.
There’s a flip I stumbled on. Accept yourself just as you are now. You need not get “better” to accept All if you.
The balking that you feel is confusing acceptance with Approval. No. No approve.
Accept the unacceptable parts of you. Not approve. Accept is agreeing w reality that it there. Like the unlikable parts. Hug and send kindness to the ugly vile parts of you. Love the unlovable parts of you. Once you own these parts you turn them over to the Holy Spirit for correction.
AlwYs resisting these secrets dark parts of us we Pretend them away. They come back. We act and pretend them away. We confused approving of these dark things with saying they’re fine. It’s true we have this shadow. We can’t give it up to the Holy Spirit unless we OWN IT. pretending it away don’t work.
Plus. Do I not destroy my enemy by making him my friend.
My family & friends always tell me you were a better person before. They constantly asking me if I'm mentally ill. I told them I just got sick of keeping up with the pretence and could no longer wear that mask which was hiding the real me away.
I needed this video more than anything. Thank you so much. Good luck to everyone on their spiritual journey
"Don't compare yourself to some else today but rather compare yourself to who you were yesterday"~ Jordon B. Peterson, "Praise and Blame are two sides of the same coin, you can't have one without inviting the other" Alan Watts the medium middle way does not require nor seek either of those. This session helped both these Gems of quotes to surface with minimal effort. Thank you so much, i have only seen several of these videos so far but each one has helped me immensely. Alan speaks of how the ego will jump of a level of spirituality and the spiritual game of life is merely a highbrow version of the regular one. Life and its intricacies exist and develop with the intention to be a efficient as possible which involves reducing effort, Manly P. Hall speaks "in order to learn to sing our best is not to force ourselves which damages the voice but rather to reduce effort, same thing in life."
Thank you for this... it's hard to accept myself sometimes, but you are absolutely right. There are a lot of things about myself that I dislike and by accepting them, I'm accepting that they are a part of me and then I feel a barage of judgement towards me. I hope one day sooner than later I will be accepting of who I am flaws and all...
I believe in you!
@@AwakenInsight Thank you!
@@AwakenInsight These words....... First time in my life I felt physically hopeful. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
This is such an important topic, I can not stress that enough! All those pseudo-spiritual people should watch this. Unfortunately they are often the ones that discredit the whole community and deter new people from even thinking about starting their own spiritual path.
Thank you for bringing that up Nada, much appreciated!
Maby you one off those people!
You are so Beautiful Nada 💗 I love your energy. I love your gentleness, your simplicity, your humility. Thank you for sharing yourself, your energy, your wisdom 🙏
Thank you for your words here. After listening, I am actually drawn to meditation. For many of the self talk reasons you spoke of here I had lost my ability to meditate for several years. I feel a softness and acceptance in my heart in place of darkness, fear and anxiety. A simple acceptance is really all that is needed. I believe I can do that. Blessings
I've been thinking about this. On my spiritual journey I've noticed that over the past year I've had an attitude that I have never known before. I've struggled with wondering why I have feelings that seem very counter to others - they seem to be so loving and peaceful and the ideal. I often get angry, even feeling like I cannot stand someone or something. For about a year I've had problems with being envious of people. This wasn't just a small feeling, but truly feeling envious - and this is something I've NEVER felt before. I always pretty much considered myself excited for others. It astounded me so much I thought I was a different person who just was losing it. But what I came to realize is that the more I practiced going deeper in my spiritual jouney the more I recognize that it it likely an opening and even a purge, allowing me to see that deep down (and also at the surface), I have these feelings and characteristics that I need to acknowledge in order to be aware of them and work through them. It has been a challenge but I'm CERTAIN that is what's going on.
21:21 If we don’t bring awareness to a thing that we feel anxiety or misery over then the thing remains “fused” together, like a ball of wire where we can’t find the ends. It’s just a ball of confusion. There’s no way to dissolve it or resolve it or flush it without awareness, without attention, without looking at it as it is. Yes, what we resist, persists.
Thank you for this very helpful talk. If I could ‘Like’ it 10 times I would.
i just found gold at your channel!.
Accepting ourselves .. even the worst parts .. is a huge moment
I have always found the spiritual community to be quasi cultish with high unattainable expectations and an unspoken reign or hierarchy or snobbery!! The adulation of the young seekers is unhealthy and detrimental to the goal. It is just another road along the human experience with all the same pitfalls and successes. I have found the question to refining the journey is to ask what the underlying need is for the spiritual journey. I have found that dealing with the human challenges openly and honestly becomes or results in the journey becoming spiritual. Not the other way around. Thank you so much for the forum in which I can rant and release and not feel alone with my thoughts.
The most spiritual and at one I have ever felt with myself was when I became very sick, and needed a lot of serious surgery. I was in and out of hospital for over three years. It was a very difficult time.
After I recovered I was a different person. It was the worst and yet the best time for me. I had such gratitude for every day. Everything just seemed better. I was really happy. I mean, really happy. Not just happy, but more content and not wanting. I was so broke, had a crap job, no girlfriend... I didn't care one bit.
Now years later that feeling has not lasted. Life and everyday troubles has clouded that lovely feeling I once had of gratitude and acceptance. But, I still remember and I am going to try and find it again. It was a wonderful time for me. Having nothing, but honestly feeling like having everything. Back then I believed that being thankful was the secret to true happiness. I still feel this way.
Thank you for posting your content. I relate so much. I greatly appreciate your modest and thoughtful words . ❤️
I see I go to your channel when I feel I need to hear something that brings me back into alignment. With your wisdom and comfortable voice in a tempo that feels so soothing to me, I feel supported to meet myself again.
❤
Grateful

You're awesome I'm so glad I found you thank you for this channel thank you for you and for helping all of us
You are a beautiful, peaceful soul❤️🙏❤️So grateful to have found your channel!!!
i want to share an Experience i had,,, i visited this one small church along time ago and i had a Spiritual Experience, this Spiritual Experience was so Powerful that my body began to shake and tremble.. i was shaking.. and i felt Gods Glory fall upon me and i Experienced a Peace which transends all understanding.. i cant explain IT with human words. And i felt very Light and Floaty and i thought i was going to float off the floor as i went up to take Communion. i tried to make other Spiritual Paths work and ive searched for God in many Religions and was even studying sufism and Islam.. i tired to make these paths word but it wasnt for me i guess... i also had a vision once and in The Vision i saw a cross that was outlined with a serene light dark blue lights outlining the cross and i heard A Voice call me by my name! But check this, after that vision i keep on seeing symbols of blue crossess everywhere i go.. symbolism!! Anywho i was searching for a long time to find God only to "Realize" that i was Searching for Something that was never lost but was with me the whole time. a Shocking Discovery which changed my outlook on life.
Thats shadow work! I swear the universe gives me exactly what I need when I need it. I'm glad this video was suggested to me.
Whats shadow work?
@@dumalun8388 its the notion that there are not just good or bad people in this world. We all have two sides a good side and a bad side. Through shadow work we explore our repressed selves! The benefits of shadow work is to accept ourselves fully for who we are, including the good and the bad. When the shadow is ignored the results usually consists of jealously rage and any other undesirable behaviors.
So much depth in your words! Thank you so much for this genuine share ❤
Very clear, deep seeing. If you are not enlightened you are very close to it. Namaste,🙏😘
I rarely leave comments but I feel I need to do so to support this video. I saw people who label themselves as ‘spiritual’ in fact can sometimes have stronger ego. And they have trouble to even recognise it, and often defend when people point it out.
This one video is that one we need to hear over and over again, 2wc, today!!! Waking up!!
once somewhere I learned that life was all about spiritual growth, and everyone has challenges. But that its the reason were all here. Over lifetimes we grow. True Enlightened beings have no need to repeat this phase. I want you to know I really appreciate your perspective, and that the content resonates.
"I don't know if you've noticed but spiritual people are sometimes the most judgmental". I choked on my coffee at the profundity of this statement. Then laughed so much at myself and others. I needed to hear this. So true. Thank you.
I’m so grateful to have found you!! Thank you for your knowledge, insight and kindness!😊❣️
We are all Spiritual beings. All paths are spiritual. Stop living in the land of ideals and labels. It only separates you from You. You are master of You. We are all awake. We came here, were born here awake. Popular knowledge will send you in endless circles that go nowhere. The only thing we need to do is focus on ourselves and expanding our awareness of ourselves. Be here, now. Attachments to everything else will fall away when we connect to ourselves in a deep way. And no, you don't have to claim what isn't truly yours. Let it go and it will go. The one thing we have a hard time achieving is simply being and let it be, which is the state of everything. I Am enlightened, and not the idealistic enlightenment that others believe. And wow! To hear someone say that spiritual people judge more, hmm. Since when do we go around the world taking census on 8 billion other people and comparing them? We do what we are taught, conditioned, or manipulated into doing. I Am light. I Am not limited to this limited body. We are change itself and we don't allow this to happen without resistance...and so we suffer. Another is believing we are not awake, enlightened, or perfect as well are. It's OK to not use the words others use to define our spiritual path. I don't have to practice being what I truly am. I just stopped being what the world told me I am. I Am Spirit.
You are amazing ! God bless you! I watch all your videos. Thank you 🙏 for helping the world 🌎. Tons of love 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 from New York. 😘😘😘😘
I love what this guy has shown me... I also believe this RUclips audiobook will help."The power of awareness"
Just found your channel and i absolutely love your videos. You are so genuine and yourself with your voice in itself being so comforting. Loving what you've been potting out mate. ❤️

These insights bring us closer to enlightenment 🌟
I am really grateful for the effort you make to maintain this channel. You have helped me become aware of a lot of issues hiding in the shadows. God bless.
This was powerful for me. This helped me understand acceptance more deeply and made me realize I wasn't fully accepting myself even though I thought I was.
Your voice is so calm and gentle and the light music is all just perfect. Thankyou so much for sharing your peace. I am in desperate need of it right now. I go to sleep listening to your list of mixes. 🙏 be blessed 😌
Thank you very much! Glad I found this amazing channel!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou ❤️
I've had a spiritual backsliding as I hit the "real world." My peaceful, innocent boy-self has transformed into an unsure, disorganized guy-self. I think I need this video the most... as I research more into spirituality, I seem to want to put on that facade of enlightenment. But you are right... accepting those problems seem like the best way to start.
Its so refreshing...acceptance....I don't think of my self as anything
I have felt everything you have said in this video thank you brother ❤
Blessed to find a friend in your insights. I feel so encouraged. Thank you. God bless.
An honest man who has learnt from the inside out. 'And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free'.
I wish I was one of your friends.. You seem to struggle with interpersonal connection a lot. I do too. Yet you have this channel, so you know your power and it's potential. 1. Some of your outfits are like deep earth fashion fab! 2. The freedom of letting the hair do it own thing! I know still material but like freeing and visually so. 3. Meditation is a mind party with the divine, beyond the intellect etc. inexpressible in words alone.I totally admire and respect you. You have become the man that you want others to seeish like.subscribe.
Too good! The inner child' is always the compass...
Thank you so much!
Dear Sir ! Just listening to you , is a meditation in itself ., My humble Pranams 🙏🙏🙏
truth and wisdom is beauty , thank you for sharing truth.. mauri ora
thank you thankyou namaste
I just stumbled into your work. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Namaste🙏
Very happy for finding this channel. Love the way you explain things, feelings, situations and emotions.😊
This man is thruth !!! Thank you sun of man.
I watched your entire video. First, I'm extremely grateful for your authenticity. I see very few human beings being authentic. I have a few questions for you and I hope you give them some thought.
What else is there besides self-acceptance? Consider that instead of self acceptance being the beginning of spirituality, perhaps self-acceptance is the WHOLE of spirituality with no end, ever. I'm offering this as guidance on your path as we must all walk our own. Your an authentic being and the world will benefit from more. Feel free to contact me directly if you're interested. Good luck my friend.
Andrew
I'm guessing Nada shares your view, given that he posted the following quote by Jack Kornfield at the beginning of the video: 'Much of spirituality is self-acceptance. Maybe all of it.'
Daniel R
Thank you for the comment. My question was intended for Nada, and perhaps I realize you now, as simply a means of reflection to see how deep self acceptance can go. The only thing that exists is consciousness which functions through particular body mind organisms. The only thing there is , is acceptance of this or not to which there are varying degrees hence the term self acceptance.. Self is simply synonymous here for consciousness. keep in mind that because there is no individual doer of actions that it is not within anyone’s control to accept this or not. The acceptance Happens through a body mind organism Who later realizes that it was never he or she who did the accepting or did the seeking or did the questioning but simply consciousness functioning through their particular body and mind. and if the seeking has begun through a particular human being it will continue until acceptance reaches the level in which that particular human being realizes that there is no individual and no personal doer. This understanding eradicates pride. I honestly this helps. Best wishes on your journey and anyone else reading this.
Andrew
I ❤️ that music in the intro. Great video 👍😇 We all have to accept that no one is perfect, including ourselves. Anything praiseworthy is deserving of admiration in my opinion
I recently started listening to you and your healing words. Thank you very much!
What you're saying is very Zen. We never deny what we are feeling and craving. It's all fine. You must accept what you are (even though there is no "I" or "you" in ultimate reality). You must know "you" to make progress in spirituality. If you want to be enlightened in a Buddhist or Yogi sense, you must wake up to know "you". Never push away or cling - just let it all be. It is only knowing thyself that one can lose the ego, the illusion of "I". So, yes, you're right about self-acceptance, dear friend. Bravo! It is the truth. It is all a process. You're beautiful. We need to stop being ashamed of what we are: we are what we are -- and that is all fine in the current moment. Shame has no place on the path to enlightenment. Morality will follow self-acceptance. It all happens beautifully without effort. Clinging stops; aversions stop -- and clear-seeing begins.
May you fulfill your deepest wish for happiness.
Peace and enlightenment.
My soul is happy we entangled. Thank you.
Beautifully said! I needed this message, and it was perfect that it popped up in my feed! ❤
Thank you, i needed this. Namaste. ❤🙏
Embrace your present self ❤️ We never stop learning.
i have no anxiety , my mind is super charged . depression from time to time yes . burden of knowledge carry around and empathy just gets to you sometimes
Some folks, in fact, a LOT of folks I suspect, begin to awaken as a result of the invariable bitterness that comes from being born in a plastic age, and if true insight is arrived at by way of a bitter path, then bitterness too has its virtue.
Despite what we've been molded to believe, it seems to me that a truer definition of the word "optimism" is, "the ability to see pessimism optimistically".
ALL paths lead to what we need, and indeed, accept yourself and honor the truth of who you are WHERE you are.
Intuition isn't universally developed because it compels us to walk a contrary path, for example, we're taught to believe that men aren't nearly as insightful, but what does your intuition tell you?
You ARE the miracle; your job is to do the work to remember.
what if the quickest way to enlightment is to simply accept everyything just as it is without any rejectional resistance
Ya, good luck with that .
it is but it isn’t easy by any means
this is such a beautiful and necessary video. especially as i feel in the online community there is this ongoing tendency to idealise qualities that we categorise as 'spiritual' a lot. thank you for your wisdom.
Healing words! Thank you
I came across a video of yours a week or so ago and since then I’ve been hooked and look forward to watching as much as I can several times a day to get perspective on different topics; your insight, knowledge and opinions are amazing. Thank you 🙏🏼.
Thank you for your wisdom and words right now......boy oh boy I can hear you now.....awakening is such a personal journey. I want to be a good person, I want to uplift myself and others....but by whose standards???? Bad English I know but you will understand the meaning of it. I feel confused right now. Conditioning of a lifetime(63).......I'm figuring it out and I do the best I am able to......Thank you.
My therapist said it would be a good idea to look up Self Acceptance. This was a good one for me today. Thank you!
I am listening to this while doing my math homework because it calms me down and also makes me feel better about becoming more and more alone in my spiritual awakening. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. It helps more than you know.
Thank you for words. It gives a soothing sense of feelings. I have been in so much denial ,guilt and it gives sense of relief and hope that one day I will be successfully able to overcome my illusions and Ego and be my authentic self.
The path from moment awareness to being comfortable in being conscious is a one and rocky one! It has been years since I started to question the fabric of reality and just now I am coming to my senses in how to live alongside this awareness! Although it was hard, I am grateful that everything happened in divine timing.
I wish you nothing bit love and positivity on your journey!
I've had low self esteem ny whole life. Im 24 and a girl and When I was small I thought I would grow up and become beautiful. Im at the end of my early 20s and I have the worst self confidence. My therapist told me I have Body Dysmorphia Disorder. The truth is that I have no self love and that Im afraid of someone making a negative comment about my appearance. I want to heal and Love myself and stop comparing myself with others. I truly believe im unworthy of love and that Im ugly and old looking. I just want to be happy and at peace with myself. Im on a journey to happiness and self love. I want to be happy and pretty
Thank you sir for this. Very comforting message ❤️😌
I want to hug this man
Thank you.i know I'm not perfect.✌️
