really dig the quality of your videos bro. Super underrated tuber FOR SURE.
Thank you so much! As long as I share at least some, positive vibes I’m happy! 😄
Even though I'm 50, I can really relate, cause I was much like this in my 20s... and this "I wish I knew this..." continues to the 30s, 40s, and even 50
It’s just never done! 😆 And there is just SO much to learn! 😄
"You don't need beliefs". My goodness that one resonated! Practically all my life I have had religious beliefs and boy, it's been a struggle at times. The freedom of letting go of all those beliefs has been profound and such a learning and healing process. Yeah, wish I had known that in my twenties - still better late than never.
SAME! And, even other beliefs. Like what I’m good or bad it. Or, about “how the world works.” In my experience it’s much more useful to just keep evaluating the situation and never lock anything down. 🙌😄
I really like this video. Thank you for making it. I think it's interesting how the belief that you don't need beliefs is a belief in itself.
Thank you 😄 Is it a belief?? 😆 …Like if you stop believing in something are you left with a new belief?
@@SonamHoani the belief in nothing is a belief nevertheless, no? 😅I've heard it described that all beliefs are limiting beliefs. It's just that some beliefs are just more limiting than others or bring more suffering. this concept just reminds me not to take my thoughts too seriously, allow myself grace to change my mind as often as needed, and give up even sacred beliefs if they don't contribute to my peace/happiness/actualizing my potential. I love this conversation; thank you so much for making videos like this
Thank you! Me too! Well, either… I believe what you’re saying is the right conclusion 😄
It's hard for me to say what exactly I wish I knew sooner because younger me wouldn't have been open to any of these points. I wasn't on any spiritual journey, definitely not awake and living life on autopilot. I would have needed to be in the process of waking up for these to mean anything if someone would have told me. But I resonate with all of these points.
I wish I would have known more about psychology and philosophy. It would have been great to understand what the ego is and how it developed. My upbringing had convinced me that both of those subjects were a waste of time and I was literally told that thinking these things would make you go insane. Childhood conditioning is no joke. It can be impossible to get out of or see through the fog.
I also wish that I didn't spend so much time waiting for the future to make me happy. This caused me a lot of suffering and a lot of time being stuck in my head fantasizing about the next thing to buy or the next promotion or the next whatever. All that seems to do is accelerate your life so that you can zone out on the present moment. So many years "wasted" living like this.
…Well your comment here is more relevant than my video! What you write here was my experience too. I especially wish there was more philosophy in my life, that I had some understanding of the ego and that I knew to be present minded. Thank you for this comment.
Hi Sonam, I love your content. I went through a period where I was glimpsing non-duality pretty regularly, and then it I struggled again. But now I've picked back up. Both periods where I could see the "true nature" were because of your videos. Thank you.
I've been thinking a lot about helping others, and it's a skillset that takes a lot of effort, I've learnt. It seems compassion, love and kindness are indispensable here as they seem to provide a wellspring of energy to actually keep the labor of love for another going.
Waking Up has a few short Metta mediations, and I've heard yourself speak of compassion briefly. I think meditation makes this tool of compassion more accessable, but I imagine there's alot more understanding and practice methods to unpack here and I would love to hear your thoughts on it and what advice you would offer on this next stage of the path. I think for a lot of people (especially those still plagued with resentment, selfishness, and depression), learning to utilize compassion would be indispensable. Perhaps you could share your thoughts with us?
Again, thank you. I'm confident this path will reshape the rest of my life. I'm fairly confident all would have been much worse without it.
Thank you for this unbelievably wonderful comment Arthur. I want to honour what you’ve written here, so I will get back to you when I have the time to meet you properly. (I just wanted to let you know that I’m not ignoring this comment).
@@SonamHoaniThanks Sonam. Again, this channel really helps and I feel pretty lucky to get a reply.
Hi Arthur I mention this exchange in my latest video and talk a bit more in length about compassion :D ruclips.net/video/J98kkdYljE0/видео.html
@@SonamHoani Hello again Sonam, I hope you're well. I've had this reply in my mind since you made it, and I am hoping it's been on your mind as well.
Thanks for the book suggestions video. I've bought Vajra Heart Revisted and written down the other ones to dodge the impending self-destruction of the video. I'm sure that many of them will provide the knowledge to answer the question I asked you above, though I'd still place them second to a video from yourself!
And here’s Part 2 of my ideas on Compassion :D ruclips.net/video/ek-BmvxVXLA/видео.html
What do you mean by "choice is an illusion"? By not making a choice and staying in your default trajectory is still a choice. Choice or a decision are not illusions, they have a significant impact over how your life unfolds. Also, Do you use any system for making important decisions or you just trust your intuition?
Thank you for your question :) I mean to say that fundamentally, freewill is an illusion. So holding onto regrets doesn’t make sense. We’d be better off planning for the future, than looking at our past in a negative frame of light :) I don’t actually feel like I have that many decisions in front of me. I know what feels natural for me and I’m always moving towards that. If I’m not sure than I explore a bit to once again move forward in the most natural way :) I’m very concerned about making my partner happy and being of service to the wider community, these values combined with self knowledge, makes moving forward through this life very harmonious 😄
*Deleted previous reply. It was too unclear. Thank you for your reply. I'd like to get clear about the illusion of free will because I still don't seem to understand it. This is how I see it - A mindless individual operates from a place of impulsiveness. He reacts to every thought that pops in his head and just goes through the motions of life. Hence you can say that, he doesn't have free will because he is like a puppet of his own mind. While, the mindful person can choose which thought he gives attention to. He can also choose to create a thought by himself (like an execution plan for something). I don't see how that doesn't count as free will. (Of course mindfulness is not binary like in this example and more of a spectrum). You're right, I can't blame myself for being ignorant in some way in my past. Because you don't know what you don't know. BUT, I can take ownership and agency over my actions from now on. Isn't that free will?
I agree with a lot of what you’re saying. And I even agree that, yours is the important conclusion. But, I don’t fundamentally experience freewill and that is important for a different reason. It can make you feel sublimely content with the way things are, rather than if you feel like there’s someone in control of this experience all the time. This is down the conversation of No Self in Eastern Traditions or ‘Hume and Not Self,’ is a good short read in this wiki article here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_and_Western_philosophy#:~:text=In%20the%20modern%20era%2C%20a,the%20rise%20of%20Buddhist%20modernism.
perfect vid. just turned 20😅😳
Congratulations! 😆🥳🥳 Wishing you the best decade of your life, so far! 😄
@@SonamHoani thank you Sonam!
When it comes to money and finances, what do you invest and save for? I’ve always been told I should invest and save and I have been since I’ve been working but I never know what for other than emergencies and travelling, but I don’t really need that much for those things and isn’t the rest just excess?
The rest is excess and it losses 3-4% of value every year it sits there. So I have 6 months worth of living saved and sometimes more if I’m planning a holiday or, on buying something. Otherwise every month, I buy a variety of Index funds. They should go up in value overtime and it’s the tried and true way of investing.
@@SonamHoani Thank you for your reply! Your videos have been truly insightful and some of the best mindful content on RUclips! That makes a lot of sense! I am from the UK so I imagine we have different funds available but I've struggled to find any truly ethical funds. Even ESG funds, while they may not invest in companies like Exxon Mobil or BP, they do invest in companies like JP Morgan and big banks that will just invest in fast fashion and oil on my behalf. I also worry the more ethical I try to be with investments the more risk I have to take on. I don't know if this is something you have also grappled with and what you do? Maybe some truly ethical funds are available to you and maybe I just need to look a bit harder?
Thank you so much for leaving me a message :D I really appreciate your conscientiousness and it’s a joy how thoughtful you are :) My Partner is Swedish, so we actually invest with the privileges her corner of the country has to offer. One thing we do considering this dilemma is investing in “ethical,” index funds. So we have clean energy funds (which theoretically have good potential upside) and water funds too… I must acknowledge this isn’t a perfect answer though. But, due to this controversy and ethics Sweden apparently does make an extra effort to offer alternatives… I’m not sure if this goes further than not working with the big oil companies/ war.
i am 63 you still look like your 20s
I’m at the tail end of my 20s 😄 And have only discovered these things recently… I wish I knew them going into my 20s!
@@SonamHoani love your channel though still learning even at my age i watch quite a few teachers Mooji ,Rupert Spira ,Yourself and many more!
Thank you so much Vincent! It’s so lovely to have you here and hear that you’re finding value in the videos! My content is in good company then! 😄
:) ❤️❤️❤️
