Thank you Ben for making these great videos. Your words and your spirit resonate with what I’ve been searching for in the past 50 years. I really appreciate your time, energy and crystal clear guidance to the realisation of the divine in each individual. God bless you.
Ben, I love watching your videos. Frequently, when I present a concern or a question to The Devine, right away The Devine gives me answers through your videos. You are truly an instrument of The Devine. Blessings to you, Ben.
Hi Ben, I love today's topic. I meditate and seem to do so many styles of meditation and have not been consistent in the methods. There are many times I do feel out of body experience or feel at peace and calm, and I switch. Somehow, it is like I am searching for something and not sure what it is. What you said in this episode really resonates with me, and I intend to put this into practice. Maybe a future topic on consistency in meditation methods
I’m experiencing a bit of a road block in my meditation. I’ve finally made progress where I’m able to focus on my breath the vast majority of my meditation. However it’s like my ego is hiding within that focus. I’m concentrating on my breath and then a fleeting thought that lasts about a second appears, and then I go back to my breath. I was thinking as long as I continue to ignore it it’ll eventually stop but it doesn’t. If anything it becomes more frequent as if the ego has found a way to steal a crumb of focus for a second between every breath and it’s happy with that. Of course this is just me guessing but that’s what it feels like. Any suggestions?
Hey man I dont know if it is right to ask this here, but have you read Sri Aurobindo? I think your ideas really resonate with some of the things he has written.
I think most people will never have heard of him ....my partner has a load of books from him and the mother ..I've only read a couple of them (the easier ones lol) ...his command of language is unreal ... namaste
@@JasonFaughnan That's amazing to hear that you and your partner both are into this stuff ! And yeah his command of the English language is literally other- worldly.
Hi Ben, I would like to give you some positive advice, I hope you don't mind. For the person you are and the energise you hold, colours that are worn can act as a small blockage. I have noticed in all your videos you wear a lot of black. Please try wearing light colours as well. White, cream, light yellow, light/electric blue, are good colours for you. Try it and you will feel more connected than you already are and will help your followers to connect more. I really hope I have not offended you in anyway. May God keep you blessed and helping mankind to connect to the truth.
You forgot to define what 'the divine', is. Why would I want to connect with it, when I dont know what it is, or if it even exists. Many teachers would say that, 'the divine', is a concept. If the divine is everything, what is it about everything that makes it divine? Whatever it is, I am completely disconnected from it, and this sort of training is beyond my capability anyway. Seems like its only possible for a few select individuals like yourself. Thanks.
Close your eyes and think or a ball. Any kind of ball, it's up to you. Now imagine two ants walking around on that ball. Imagine what one of those ants would see, walking around on your ball. And imagine seeing the other ant that is wearing a little hat. Switch your perspective to the other ant. You are now the ant with the little hat walking on a ball. And you see the other ant, also walking around. But without a hat. For both of these ants you are the divine. You are the source that created them in your minds eye. And you created the hat and the ball they live on. You can see their past and their future. Now imagine this ball laying on the floor in a house. In your house. And you are sitting next to the ball. And you can see yourself sitting there, with your eyes closed, thinking of a ball with ants. The divine is thinking of you. You in your house watching this youtube comment. The divine is also me, writing this comment for you. And the divine is also Ben Smith who posted this video. You are the divine. But by experiencing being a human, you have decided to temporarily forget you are the divine. To be able to focus on being you and being amazing. To have this adventure of life.
Hello, these are great questions. It’s really about finding out the truth to this reality. Why are we here? Who really are we? What created this? There have been many profound saints and teachers who have explained the truth that the essence of all is one reality. There’s one truth which I personally call the Divine. Some call it God. It’s our very nature. We think we are this mind, this body and the thoughts we have, but these are all temporary. Are deepest nature is God ( or the Divine as I often say). Why do we need to connect with it? Because it’s our true nature. This can all sound pretty ridiculous and far fetched, but I have spent 20+ years meditating and have had many profound experiences which have given me certainty of lots of these things. I hope this helps to make a little more sense of my video 🙏
Don't you mean divinity aka the source? My aunt always says God and I'm Pagan so I say to her just say source because Christianity among other mainstream religions are so tyrannical.

Thanks!

Hi Ben ❤
Recently found your channel,I've been suffering with anxiety issues and nerves pain. Will meditation cures Ben?
Please reply and guide me 🙏🏼
Hi! I had anxiety disorder too. A book that helped me so much is The Wisdom Of Anxiety by Sheryl Paul. It will help so much!!!

I have a question... do u have any insight on having a "pendulum" like feeling in the body (the whole body) when in stillness?
What happens to the ego when souls move to the astral plane?
