My test is what I call the “deathbed test” I see my self in my last moments on earth and then I ask myself about a situation, “Is this really going to matter in those last moments?” Almost every thing is no, of course, except experiences and love. Try it, your heart and soul will be free 🤗🙏❤️
@didgemama - Love this, what great advice. Thanks for sharing x
How beautiful! Thank you for sharing! That is so true. Thank you for your wisdom!
I love to see that most of the people on this channel have such a LOVE for animals. Thank you everyone for your love for this furry creatures.
Lovely. Glad this means so much to you, Marilyn. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I can relate to this absolutely. And it has come when I needed it most. I am losing the man I adore to cancer, but I am beginning to value myself, see how I have grown as a person - especially in my ability to let go of trying to anticipate the future or control it, and in surrendering gracefully to loss. I am listening in new humility and trust, knowing that the Universe will reveal a way to live more truly and fully each day. And because I have reached out to others to help me through some of the challenges I face, I have gained deeper relationships. I don’t have to do everything myself, or be totally self-sufficient, as I had been taught. It may be more blessed to give than to receive, but it is infinitely harder (for me) to do the latter. Let the Universe decide. Just love, love, love - life, nature, other people and yourself. You already have what you need inside you, and by listening and watching yourself as from afar, you let in the light, which has always been there, only you were too busy and self-obsessed to see it. Thank you, Universe, for allowing me to experience all this in my tiny life.
Your words reach deep into our hearts. Thank you Jude, for taking the time to share your experiences here with us. Your way of navigating through this difficult time, is truly moving. We continue to hold you in our thoughts. 💚
"The best thing to ever happen in my life was to lose everything!"
I agree, as when a person has nothing but themselves and their thoughts, they are free to dream and explore🤗
cb A bc - a favourite quote by Alexander Solzhenitsyn -
“ You only have power over people as long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power-he's free again.”

Thats why 2020 can be a huge gift if you want it, or it can be the worst year of your life filled with fear and depression.
..somebody who has nothing to lose, has no more fear. it is the most powerful state in life one can find.
to be fearless is to be and operate completely in the now.
fears are a construct of the mind that need a reference to time,
based on an expected scenario in the future..
the only power a human has lies in the present moment.
it‘s powerful. beautiful.
one is completely aligned with the soul.
no resistance. pure connection, expression and flow..
i love this channel and this guy..its a bliss to see and relate..
thank you for creating and sharing this!
That is true I came back from that and I heard the true test of character is just that .
Why have I only recently discovered this beautiful channel!!.What a lovely human being
@Nell - How does it feel to know that you have over 150 films in this series so far, to keep you entertained and inspired? And we're still working on many new stories that we'll keep sharing. So stay tuned in here x
I also recommend this channel and this video in particular. ruclips.net/video/fC5qucSk18w/видео.html
Self-Care is not Selfish. Self-Love allows you to Love Others!
I am receptive!
I am Wonderful!
I Accept all good in my Life!
No one in this World is pure and perfect If you avoid people for their mistakes You will always be alone.
So Judge Less and Love More!!
Thanks for sharing!
I am learning this very thing. Trusting that the universe will provide, knows what is best, and means me no harm. I am no longer a victim, but a loved being. And this love is totally independent of my circumstances, other people, losses or gains, because it comes through me. The tricky part is to recognize that we like to attach judgements and conditions on self love. Be careful how you speak to yourself.
@The Earthius Project - A truly beautiful comment. 100 heart signs from me. x
Beautifully said ❤
I loved every word spoken by this beautiful Being because it’s the Truth. I thought that after the terrible happening in my life in 2018 and then again in 2019, I would not be able to trust, not be able to feel love and not even be able to smile. I learnt that I was wrong and that Love and Happiness, if you’ve already found it inside yourself, can’t be taken from you. Respect and love yourself - you are a miracle 🌺🎁♥️🌹🇵🇹
@Indirá Camotim - Thank you for sharing this beautiful message of your experience. We love what you've said! 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife - I love what you do. So, thank you 🙏🏻🎁🎁♥️♥️🌺🌹
@Indirá Camotim - And we LOVE having you along on this journey with us x
True character is born from deep pain and heartaches.
“When you have come to the end of all the light you know and you are about to step off into the darkness, faith is the belief that one of two things will happen: You will have something firm to land on, or you will learn to fly”. This man made that choice.
@Beth P - I LOVE LOVE LOVE this quote - thanks for sharing here with us Beth x
It so beautifully reminds me of a quote by Burroughs ....”Leap ... and the net will appear.”
Truer words were never spoken. Trusting that our needs get met always when we have gratitude and love.
Beautiful! Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Trust and the Universe will provide, is spot on. Love everything.
💚
I think I am on the pathway to trusting. This beautiful being has helped to nudge me just that little be further. Thank you.
Keep walking the path Grace - when we learn to trust, a whole new world of beautiful opportunities is open up for us. So glad to see you working your way through some of our earlier films :)
Green Renaissance thank you all so much for the wonderful stories you share, you are all truly using your time and talents for spreading goodness! Please let me know if you ever make it to South Carolina, I would love to introduce you to more inspirational souls.
Thank you so much Ian - really appreciate the message. We will definitely get in contact if we come to South Carolina - we would love to make more films of inspirational souls from all over the world. Thank you for you support.
Love it. Revolutionary. Thumbs up.
💚
God given gifts, and the biggest gift is the free gift of salvation to trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Wish there was more from this guy. His message was great.
So glad that you enjoyed his story Nancy. It's a great idea to explore a follow up story with Sam. We haven't connected with him in a while, so will definitely get in touch with him and see if anything flows from there. Warm hugs to you. Justine and Michael x
Trust and loving your life in your truth. Simply being aware of your own path and being present in each precious moment. THANKS,
What a beautiful video and a beautiful soul! I’d love you to interview Sam Althaus again so that we can hear more of his wisdom and perhaps a little more of his music🌟💛🌟
We are glad you enjoyed this video with Sam. Thank you for the suggestion of another video with him, we will make a note and see what the future holds. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.
I would love it too! ❤
Listening carefully is so wonderful Blessings!!!
What an inspirational human being!! I think he may just have fixed my light bulb, the inner room has suddenly gone bright. Thank you so very much Sam. 🕊🤍
@Miss Potter - LOVED THIS - your reference to the 'fixing my lightbulb' - haven't heard that before. Thanks x
i totally resonate with this lovely Soul - a beautiful mirror of my Own Journey full of amazing and painful Self realizations
Thank you for your beautiful message - we appreciate the support, and hope to continue to find other inspiring characters to share with you and the world every Wednesday.
Say, "I love myself"💕 Say, "I am loveable" 💞
Green Renaissance, I don’t know how to show my appreciation. I’m just blown away by the wisdom you have been presenting in you short films. I found you when I was feeling frustration with spiritual communities where hardly anybody knew what they were talking about. That included life coaches, spiritual coaches,.. I could feel they were not real. The people you are presenting are real, they know what they are talking about and I’m learning so much from them. I really wish I could meet them in person, however the fact that such people exist is satisfying on its own. Thank you so much for these beautiful creations and may I get to meet such people here in San Diego 😀 Amen
Thank you for the very kind words AJ. We are very touched that our videos mean so much to you, that they present wisdom. We hope you can find some wonderful and 'real' people in your area, that can inspire you,...But if that is not the case, may our videos always guide you along life's path. We send you warm wishes to San Diego, Justine and Michael. 💚
We can all be in the exact emotional state,we choose to be in. We deserve that ❤
Revolution of love 💚
💚
Gosh! We need more like this!
💚
This man is 100℅ correct!
When you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.
Words to ponder on... thank you for sharing. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Your videos are too short. It feels like they're just being introduced and not thoroughly explored. This man intrigues me and I want to know more about his ideas.
I wish I could give a thumbs up for each time that I watched this and will watch it.
Sam is awesome, and found enlightenment lol. Sweet surrender=success;) Absolute truth..losing everything is the greatest lesson, if one is wise enough to recognize the vast worth > the gift of regaining everything that only ever should have mattered in the this life;) Cheers to thriving in Love&Peace!
❤️love is all we need the rest will come naturally...
TRUST.. such a big word for me now..
@Roda Dumaran - And not always easy to learn - it's a journey x
Surrendering trust really does work. Love this video.!!!
You are so right Polly - it's amazing what magic starts to unfold when we allow ourselves to step into a space of true trust. May yours be a year filled with trust. With much love and deep gratitude for your support, Justine and Michael 💚

Beautiful quote - thank you for sharing Marcus 💚
Yes!!!
💚
Oh my God, who is this man? This is so true! This is exactly how I live my life and it all happened or started rather after resigning from my job. I was miserable and something kept telling me that there's a way better life than what I was settling for in a job. I was suffocating. Being employed I felt I had lost control of my life. I had to do as I was told and constantly work my ass off to please someone else. I am glad I realized early that I couldn't do it and stopped trying without fear of tomorrow, what I shall eat, wear etc. I know exactly what he's talking about that trusting to whatever point things happen without much effort from you and this is because God has a million ways to provide for us, ways we know nothing about and He is ready when you are!
You are so smart and handsome and really alive. Thank you Sir😊💚✌️ love and light my friend
Thank you Green Renaissance 💚
Great! Than you…you are wonderful film makers, with the magic touch of telling other people’s stories with wonderful artistic play…
Editing, wow! Your music, & the whole ambience the whole feeling one gets!…just from the way you shoot your films, Just WOW…
Shouldn’t the film industry somewhere be rewarding you all with say an Academy? Say for short films at least!?! Well I think Imho they should!!
Once again thank you film makers!! I believe you must be on track to getting rewarded internationally for these short films you’re making, if you haven’t already!!
👍💛🇨🇦
@Linda Hainje - You are so sweet. But you know what... we really don't make these to win any sort of awards. We make these films just for people like you, who value the messages shared. THANK YOU for believing in us 💚
BRAVO @greenrenaissance
Who is sam...? I realy like to see more of him. An thankyou for making these beautyful soulfeeding films. They are a treasure. I am so deeply touched .
A life with open eyes🙂👌👌
Self love comes from our own self-worth💕

Blessings for the message of hope
Thank you Truth Seeker,

You have succeeded in your goal. May a downpouring and an outpouring of every good thing, ease of production, creative ideas, financial support come to you, Now. Thankyou for your courage and for sharing your catalytic gifts. Om sānti, sānti, sāntih.

Trust and relinquish the need to control. Tension and worry are making me sick. It means breaking habits of a life trying so hard to paper over cracks and constantly shouldering responsibility. Time to take the needle off the record.

☺️🙏💟 Exactly what I didn’t know I needed today. …..and as a retired musician / music therapist …..whatever is the name of his magical instrument? It must have been incredibly powerful to sit in a room while that is being played 😳. 💟💟💟 - Sonia ✨
How wonderful that the video reached you when you needed it. The instrument is a monochord, he made that particular one himself. It was a very beautiful hearing it played, yes. Much love, Justine and Michael 💚
I once watched a video from this channel, felt instantly connected and subscribed ...
Best digital decision I've ever made ❤️

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.” -Terence McKenna
@n - Absolutely beautiful words - thanks for sharing x
I just want to say THANK You🐳

⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜ WoW AMAzING ⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜
Yes - we agree - Sam is an amazing man :)
Absolutely brilliant! I love to see others who live this way successfully. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing. 😀🙏🏻👌
what an inspiring beautiful being... what words of wisdom... what a amazin sound of the instrument... how is it called? oh, I would like to have such one and learn to play on in.. ❤️
@Dana Kissova - Sam is playing the monochord - he actually made that particular instrument himself :)
@@ReflectionsofLife thank you ❤️
How? How do we learn how to love ourselves. How do you let go? How?
I think it is something we never stop learning.
For us - the more films we make the more we ask questions and listen to others the more we able to learn, to be kinder to ourselves to love ourselves.
LOVE IT!!
The best thing is to love God first
💕👍
💅🏽
I really like all your videos
where does he live - would love to talk to him if ever possible
Hi Roberto. Thanks for the question. Sam lives along the Garden Route in South Africa. We hope that you enjoyed his story. Keep well, and keep smiling. Justine and Michael.
Beautiful
That's interesting how he assumes money will arrive to pay bills and then it arrives.
Would like to understand this concept further indeed.
Look up manifestation. The tough part is letting go of negativity and believing completely. It used to be called magick! It works...
didgemama
great
Will learn love when it's them in bondage lake of fire
Trust is beautiful, and I admire this guy's peaceful heart and self-chosen lifestyle, but there is a streak of wishful thinking that seemed to be implied here, even if he did not find ways to explain it. Every type of plant and animal lives in the state of nature (with trust) and yet many are predated upon, die of diseases, and starve to death all the time, as any human could too. Nature, or you may say, the nature of the universe, is neither loving nor cruel - it's neutral - and you need all your skills to adapt to it, as any survivalist would be able to confirm. If we can access love, through mindful living, we also have to access the wisdom and skills to survive within our lifestyle, with some trials and tribulations along the way, as I am sure he has learned.
So very well said, with much food for thought. Thanks for sharing.
Justine and Michael 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife You're welcome. And your reply makes a nice change from the usual YT flame wars! ;)
🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛🌻🌻🌻🌼🌼🌼🤗🤗🤗
💚
A thing that should jump out at everyone who watches these videos is that the vast majority of these folks have dogs, cats and other companions.
I want to meat this man and have a conversation - would that be possible - many question to ask him how to achieve this status, which is so impressive - thanks for your answer
@roberto posa - If you drop me an email (hello@greenrenaissance.co.za), I'll try to put you in touch with Sam. Cheers, Justine. x
@@ReflectionsofLife here my email
r.posa@icloud.com
Thanks very much - highly appreciated
Pls more subtitels in Others Language
@Yvi Kiwi - Thanks for the comment. We rely on the support and input from beautiful people around the world, who dedicate their time to providing us with subtitles for our films. So many of our new films include translations in over 20 languages. And we'll slowly work on adding to our older films over time. x
Can somebody tell me how to love ourselves?
I don't think there is a magic answer. I think you just have to start being a little kinder to yourself everyday, don't be hard on yourself.
You will grow to love yourself again.
Best wishes,
Justine and Michael
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you guys❤... You make the world a better place to live in...
What a special compliment - thanks for inspiring us to keep creating x
