    I am an almost 73 year old woman and came upon you recently by accident and I love your ability to articulate and your eloquence. After spending all my life caring for others I now have the freedom to get back on the path I started many years when I learned much of what is represented in your videos but was distracted from as life got in the way. I have suffered many personal losses and more tragedies than most, the last one being more difficult to get over and move on. This video has caused me to reflect more and gives me purpose in moving forward on my journey. Having spent considerable amount of time and money with therapists, etc who wanted me to pigeon hole my beliefs into one specifically instead of relying upon different philosophies to gain knowledge. You have allowed me that freedom to be who I am. Thank you and love.

      Not society, but capitalism, as it creates the need for material we really don’t need, and placing (a Protestant) value on accumulating things which supposed to make us happy. But it’s an illusion. As we accumulate these things we don’t find happiness, we find ourselves unhappy, as things, beyond the basics to live don’t fulfill our need for survival and detract us from our real purpose, to be with another, to ensure the survival of our species. That’s the origin of society. We need each other for survival, that’s our purpose. The more we distance ourselves from our purpose the miserable we feel, no matter how much money and things we have.

I felt this was enough, I needed no more. In my mind, this was a gift to humanity. One less depressed anxious soul wandering around the earth plane.
    However, you cannot get paid just to be you, alone out in a field in bliss, no need for anyone or anything.

    The argumentation in this lecture that we should find purpose in life by helping, uplifting or inspiring others is very interesting and I agree to some extent. However, from my own personal experience inspiring others is only possible after we have found inner peace ourselves. For example, if you have problems in your relationship or if you are unhappy about your professional carreer, it is much easier to engage in all sorts of volunteer activities than in tackling your own problems. I know that many people who do this, they feel great about helping others, but actually they would need help themselves. Being alone and being forced to be with nobody else but your tiny little self is a much bigger challenge than finding distraction while helping others. My advice therefore is: be happy with yourself before giving help to others!
    An exception are of course people who are struggling with every day life, when their lives consist in nothing else but working day and night to earn enough money for their families, how can they even think about sharing anything with other people?
    Nevertheless, regardless of how rich or poor we are or regardless of how many problems we have ourselves, all of us should be observant, as stated so well here. Each one of us can walk through life with open eyes and with an awareness about other people, nature or whatever this world needs. In this way each one of us can contribte in a tiny way to make this world a better place, I full agree!

      Giving people masks is a good demonstration of the relativism of serving others. I wear a mask because I feel enormous social pressure to do so, but I hate them and think they are seriously removing the humanity from the world. The ability to just smile at someone to show you understand their struggle is a million times more important than protection from a virus in my estimation. If someone gave me a mask I would not be at all grateful, I would despise it and not feel one with anyone that gave it to me. I say this only because I feel this is actually deep down what people often feel about generosity, and I'm really changing my whole outlook on life, which has for many many years been in line with your comment and the video. I'm taking the view that the best thing is just to tend your own garden, and that really means keeping well within it's borders. People that are very sure they are doing other people good by their actions are in many ways the most dangerous in society as they feel moral authority to do whatever necessary to achieve the good they are imposing. The suicide bomber feels they are doing their victims and humanity as a whole a favour by ending the lives of people they feel have become spiritually degenerate. I appreciate this is a long way from giving people can openers, and apologies if this sounds aggressive, it's a reflection of a conversation I've been having with myself recently which has left me questioning principles like this that I have until recently held as sacred.

      Giving you a mask is not the same as a person who is homeless and has to wear a mask to be able to go into a building.
      I always ask permission from the people that I am reaching out to.
      You can smile through your eyes and your actions... People can see that you are sending love and kindness, understanding and compassion by your energies and your actions.
      The wave of a hand, a kind word spoken , and a beautiful handmade mask , a can of food and a can opener, and gentleness for another person who is feeling lost, helpless and scorned for just being in the streets of our country .
      Homelessness is not the choice that some people believe that it is.
      People are all essential for the world to become a place where you and all of us are treated with respect, compassion, care, and dignity. I am sorry for your pain and your feelings about reaching out with the love of kindness and attempting to show another person that they are loved and cared about. If we were so judgmental and withdrawing that we would not want to be present in the simple process of humane behavior this would be a very miserable situation.
      I garden and one of my greatest joys is sharing with others, produce, seeds, flowers,and divided plants. Living with a generosity of spirit.
      I can't judge you and obviously you are very sure of how you feel about me and how I am living with love for others. So, the diversity of people is a precious thing to respect and being unique in our energies is very important for us to understand and learn from our sharing of our views.

    Many of these spoken qualities I find incorporated in me on a natural basis. Being nice and kind is quite easy for me. I’ve also been taken advantage of, terribly. An uneasy feeling, to say the least. Sometimes I think of earthly existence as a karmic pit stop, picking up where we left off previously, to continue on the spiral upwards or downwards as we deserve. Nobody said this would be easy. The physical, emotional and mental realms, I must admit, demand challenge. Attention and awareness seems to be of paramount importance.

    You're a beautiful person, thank you. When I get down on myself or confused, you always have a video that brings me back up to a place of action and direction. This year especially, it's easy to lay down and wallow in "poor me-ness" but your videos are like an outstretched arm that help me out of the mud. I then take that appreciation into the world and it naturally spreads. I like thinking of this happening with others who watch your videos. It's contagious and I'm happily infected😊Thanks again

    I re read the celestine prophesy this year which also helped remind me of my inner strength and power.

    I'm a physics student currently just 2 semesters away from my graduation, I joined university back in 2016 my choice for physics wasn't random, I had real passion for it & wanted to pursue a path in academic research, but my experience with my university & the education system in general have effectively killed that passion and now I'm stuck trying to force myself to study a subject I'm no longer interested in just to get a degree I don't care about
    I've spent 7 years of my life working on myself & learning all kinds of things, I'm passionate about learning & I spend most of my day on educational content but learning by itself is not a specialty, I know a lot of stuff but I'm not an expert of any sort, I'm not limited by any conditions but at the same time I'm not driven towards anything, & not driven by money or any materialistic gains, I don't feel lost in life, just lost in human society, I don't know what I'm going to be, but I know what I what to do.
    I want to learn
    I want to teach
    I want to help
    but I find myself going back to the question :
    How can I put my knowledge and learning skills into good use ?
    but not in the sense of "what's my purpose ?"
    instead it's more like "where do I fit in this world ?"
    most of what I know are not practical skills, just theoretical concepts I feel more like a philosopher but I'm not sure if there's a place for them anymore
    I can definitely get myself a job and settle for whatever, & that would be a total waste
    the only field I find myself fitting in is being an academic, but because of this scarred experience with university, I started to doubt that going to a different university would change anything or even make use of my passion for learning

    I rarely comment (maybe we've all said this before... is it true?) I'll rephrase; (perspective) I don't believe that I comment very often on RUclips videos. But, I feel that I gain much from your channel, Awaken Insight and your talks. Therefore, I feel inspired to express my gratitude to you.🙏 Not only do I gain insight while listening to you, but your calm voice has the ability to put me into a unique and... umm... regenerative? type meditation, if I allow. I feel myself changing in a spiritually positive way, I see it, and it's so obvious to me that I'm becoming different.
    Unfortunate circumstances thrust me into spirituality, so the unfortunate is actually fortunate in this case - but I have much work to do. I didn't find spirituality, it it found me. Two years ago it abruptly changed my life to a point where I felt cornered, saw no light, and wanted all of it to be over. My parents tried and they did help, but I didn't want them to give me their Christianity... not their version or any other at the time, I was tired of it. I was hurt and what I knew of the Christianity I grew up in, well it didn't work for me. My dad was a minister, but for as long as I can remember, I always questioned Christianity (to myself only). I was born into something that didn't feel right, didn't feel totally true. Besides, it was often very restrictive and down right mean for reasons known and unknown that frustrated me - it made no sense! I was a kid and I knew something wasn't right. What the hell were the adults doing? Christianity (as most Christians that I know practice it) never, ever felt right to me. Not even once, for a moment. My family would look at me like an alien if they heard me say this.
    Anyway, I can feel myself changing all the time. I can tell because I notice what's around me more often. Especially, it seems, where people and nature are concerned (sounds cliché to me too). I like it, the changing, I love all of it. But I'm also full of a lot of pain and hurt and regret and anger (yes, I know all of us are). I'm still confused and feel lost more often that I want (so... stop the desire then) It's that's easy is it? I'm learning to accept the Whole (pain included) but I wish I had someone on one teaching at times? Someone to go and see for help when necessary. Or a place where others come together and meet. At least, initially I guess? I know that ultimately, for each of us, our search is our own. No one else can make the journey for you. Maybe I overthink it sometimes? I'm working on that too... you know letting my thoughts just do their thing on occasion and attempting to sit back, observe and watch without necessarily reacting... tough at times. It's a process, I guess..? (Okay, I'm talking to myself here...)
    Back on topic; It's noticeable that I have way fewer desires and different desires. I don't really care to do many of things that I use to love, like watching television and movies (a minor example... I think?) I don't know? It's not a bad thing, but I really am becoming different. It is kinda weird... in a good way. I don't have much in common with the few people that I personally know anymore and... I often have so much I want to share, so much that I'm learning and feeling and experiencing. I have to be careful though, people may not want to hear. But I so want to share it with all? Is it Love? Is it... I don't know? It's always been there, but now I'm noticing it more? Feeling it more often? I'm just not sure... It wants to burst from within me at times (at least it seems), but I have no clue how to let it happen or make it happen, or maybe I should sit back and wait? But my life up to now has been one of ignorance, procrastination, wrong thinking (which I guess is ignorance), and waiting? Was I just waiting to die? If so, it was a lie that I unknowingly told myself. I don't want to die, I want to live and experience this life to the fullest... whatever that means for me? I want to give to others. I want to be necessary, but I want to be necessary in a way that I can always help others. Obviously, I feel better.., we all feel better, and we're better human beings when we can be of service to those who truly need us... and all the others too. Next time I'll try not to rant so much or so long. Thank you again! You are greatly appreciated. I'm not the only one who often feels lost, I know. You are a bright beacon of True Light. 🙏🙏🙏

    My theory about this life purpose stuff is we've been brainwashed by movies since we were children. We keep waiting for our own movie plot to start without realizing life doesn't work that way. We try to make it happen usually with disastrous results. For most of history the purpose in life was to just survive and that was enough to keep you busy. Since the survival issue isn't so pressing anymore, trying to make the world a better place is always a noble effort. Not an easy thing to do though...after all, White Nationalists and whacked out cult members think they're working towards making the world a better place. So I guess it's a razor's edge...lol (one of my favorite "meaning of life' books)

    This really moved me, as I'm sure it has many others. I keep coming back to this video, drawn to its message. It's a difficult one to put into practice, as so much fear of rejection or invalidation prevents us from offering our compassion freely and openly. But that's part of the journey, isn't it? Even if our compassion is rejected, the message of this video reminds us to put aside that self-serving emotion in the most gentle way possible, so that we might continue to be of service to others. Shifting our focus from "what can I get from this?" to "what can I give?" helps to dissolve so many boundaries, internally and externally. Thank you, Awaken Insight - your gift of this video has been a catalyst for change in me. By touching one life, you have touched many.

    Thank you so much this has helped me tremendously. I’ve been struggling so much in feeling worthless and useless and unimportant. Struggling to find a path where I can shine out of a desire to be useful and to be fulfilled and to be happy and make others happy and proud of me. But I see now that my error was thinking I couldn’t start that journey right here and now. And also thinking that I had to already be successful. That there wasn’t things I could do now. I’ve felt stuck and hopeless for some time. I’ve tried many different changes but I can’t seem to escape it. This feeling of emptiness and sadness like u describe a void im trying to fill. You’ve shifted my perspective and I feel so much anxiety and fear and demotivation leaving me just as I sit here and think of the little things I can do right now to help and uplift the environment I’m in right now. Things that I can do for those closest to me even when they hurt me. My solution was always to run away from everyone and everything. But this also created a feeling of weakness and inability to accomplish things. I see now that In doing little things to improve the world and the people around me and choosing to not let feelings of unimportance or need for validation control me, I can reach a state of fulfillment in myself that will empower me to make bigger steps eventually. Thank you… you have made a huge impact on me since I’ve started listening to your videos a few months ago when I started my spiritual journey, I’m very grateful 🥹
