I haven’t felt that way through this whole pandemic. I generally stick clear of most people so that made it easy. I take care of my husband mother and child and work in my gardens. I have about 8 pairs of clothes, I keep my little house in the woods minimal. It’s a very peaceful and content life. I don’t sweat all of this craziness or the people that seem all wound up.

I'm a bit of an introvert, so things haven't really upset my apple cart. I quit my job and I spend most of my time at home. I have 3 coops of chickens, my indoor cats, my books. I'm happy with cooking and cleaning, evenings with my husband. Simple pursuits are best. People make life more complicated than need be.
Well, I guess the first comment I would make is that your husband as a person… So you’re not completely on your own. Imagine those who are. Also, I guess this experience has really separated the introverts from the extroverts. If there is such a clear distinction actually. We are mammals and we are monkeys and we are social beings and cutting us off from one another in the name of “health,“ Is a dubious pursuit… Or at least slightly suspicious in my opinion. Obviously, we are not all in this together, we weren’t all together prior to this. I am glad that there are people who have fared well through this but most people haven’t. Loneliness was a huge epidemic prior to this and only made 1 million times worse.

A few other times i got pleasant tingles also when i would take a shower i always think about that and try to reproduce the effect & be mindful
Same here! I just started realizing that I do this. Also clench my jaw. I’m really learning how to be more mindful of my feelings and reactions to my feelings.
I recently have been blessed with an amazing accountability coach who is helping me lessen my anxiety without the use of medication. My first goal has been daily meditation at 10 am and I have used some of Russell's meditations. My coach was so happy with my progress that she suggested Russell's Awakening Channel to her other clients. I absolutely love the true "awakening" that Russell has been a part of throughout this entire pandemic. Thank you RB! You are a true inspiration! 🧡👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
There's a master inside all of us, we all have all the universe inside us. We should learn to look within instead of looking outside for help and guidance
@Scripturenest thank you for regurgitating that allegory that you may be a bit confused about. One of those verses pertains to the right of one race to rule the others because god chose them... Because they wrote the bible. Wake up. We got problems, and your beliefs fast track us to hell.
Love the interviews. I too need structure. I’m one who needs to sign up for a class to keep myself accountable. My struggle is when I find myself with a lack of energy to take action. Is my body telling me to rest or am I avoiding taking action? After listening to the interview, it seems as though I need to push myself a bit harder to do what’s good for me. Thanks for all you do to inspire others.
I'm not even scared whatsoever I'm actually the opposite of that im excited ! You know how many souls wanted to be down here when this happens? This is actually exciting.
As well as your videos being very helpful, I love scrolling through the comments and reading handy hints from enlightened souls. It's nice knowing there are many like-minded people out there, trying their best to live their best life without letting negative aspects take hold. Your videos attract peace loving people, thus creating lots of positive energy and feedback for your followers. Thanks for steering us through this rather tumultuous year ... Looking forward to facing the coming year head on, with your help of course Russell, no matter what "they" decide to throw at us. ✨🙏🧘🕉️
Thanks Russell, I know everyone feels overwhelmed. Sometimes more than others I'm sure. But we all could use positive incouragment and motivation. Knowing we're not alone must help. Your all awesome. Take care and stay free!
It's great to have a balanced spiritual forum Russell. Thankyou for giving the average person the opportunity to express their views. In a society that is based upon material wealth and power politics, spiritual empathy is lacking.
I feel we have to be mindful that as, we do we become, we will never ever arrive there! Again we need to be more kind to ourselves as humans with all our shortcomings.
When a law-biding citizen is approached by 3 burly policemen while simply walking down the road and told to put their mask on, yes, it is stressful and humiliating. This happened to me yesterday in France and I came home and cried.

During the first pandemic I started producing electronic music on my ipad and I am still doing it to this day, has definitely helped me to stay mentally healthy. I think the trick is finding a mix of things to do which are constructive and ones which are just fun (reading, computer games etc.)
Music mainly guitar, my daughters and imminent death mostly prayers from the heart got me out of a 20 year heroin addiction i had bikes, trucks, cars, land big house and i landed in the streets of Albany homeless af now three years in i live a mindful life saved through the blood of Yaheshua Hamachiach and here we are indoors isolated in danger of relapse !i see how satan's filling hell so easily his minions are working overtime to darken our light during this plandemic . As a recovery coach i see the carnage then i see the occasional breakthrough into a sober and fulfilling life .Hallelujah Having noting no possessions taught me the real value of life ! you gave me much on my journey Russel Brand Thank you for sharing your journey with us all G-d bless you and Namaste !
Thank you for your beautiful and inspiring job! I would love to hear more breath techniques and how to deal with anxiety and feelings of lack of motivation for life, especially because failing to find and execute on my life’s purpose.... Sending you love ❤️
I am a yoga instructor, so I know some of the breath practices, but I would enjoy being guided thru some that may help with grief. I've lost a very dear friend to alcohol abuse recently and I feel the grief trapped in my lungs. It doesn't quiet have the same effect while teaching these pranayamas and it's nice to find new ways of moving through the breath. Even if it's just being taught the same practices by a different teacher. Thank you. Your work is beautiful and so needed in our world.💞
I could not find any shortcuts or fixes for grief, just had to live through it. I was able to learn to "control" the outside signs of grieving until I was in appropriate places. And the "living" through it was a valuable experience in surrendering and the will to overcome. I am fortunate that I do believe my loved ones are in better places, this helped with the overwhelming feeling of wrongness. I actually had to stop my yoga practice for a while because my brain/body couldn't handle the feelings that released during yoga "practice", I let it go until I was ready to let my attachment to the grief go. Good luck, I hope you treat yourself with kindness.
The book Breath by James Nestor is a good book and talks about the correct way we should all breath and how most of us today, due to modern living, breath a way that can have a negative effect on our body and mind.
I took up practicing Qi gong a couple of years ago. This has helped with weight loss and anxiety. It is a moving meditation that is meant to be relaxing and enjoyable. The focus is on breath, mindfulness, and movement. It works with the Chi, Meridians in the body. It can be done sitting or standing. It also incorporates some gentle self massage. It is great to do outside in nature too. SMILE= Start My Internal Love Engine. Some of my favorites are: Ten Finger Qi gong/ Brother Insight, Spring Forest Qi gong, and Qi gong with Kseny. Enjoy!

Hey Russell! I’ve been reading a wonderful book entitled “Restoration Agriculture” by Mark Shepard. In this book, Mark talks about our current agriculture system. Mark explains that currently the world uses annual crops to supply humanity with food. There are many problems associated with just farming annual crops, but one of them is having to continually increase the use of pesticides and herbicides. The farmers use their sprays, all of the insects and weeds die except for the ones that were resistant to the chemicals. These insects or weeds then repopulate the ENTIRE population and so new chemicals have to be developed all the time to keep up with this. Mark proposed a solution to this using a whole system approach to agriculture where it’s basically letting nature do all of the work. Because who is making sure all those plants in the forest are growing and staying alive??? NO ONE! Nature does it all alone, baby! Oh yeah! Let’s fucking go nature. Back to my point. Isn’t this exactly what’s happening to us with corona virus? If we think of ourselves as the annual plants, the virus as the population of weeds and insects, and the vaccines as the herbicides and pesticides then we get ourselves a good little picture. Because the EXACT same thing is happening right now to us. The virus is becoming more potent, the vaccines are becoming less effective and more need to be given at a more frequent rate, and we humans are becoming less human in the process.
I've lived in Japan for many years, where people prioritize their needs over their wants. There is no "Keeping up with the Joneses" here, Japanese do not earn nearly as much as Americans for the same work, yet they do a much better job for what they earn. There is pleasure in labor, even when that labor is done for another's benefit (and all labor is performed for the benefit of others in exchange for some smaller self-benefit). An old priest in the Edo era of Japan said "In reality, Buddha's law is simple; wear your clothes, eat you rice, drink your tea." As for individualism, it is not an evil. The meaning of life is self improvement, to, through experience, break the bonds our physical bodies place on our spiritual mind. This comes through education, work, and experience, you can't find enlightenment sitting on your backside with a clear mind while breathing carefully. There can not be a strong collective unless there are strong individuals, and the collective mind is the greatest restraint to the growth of the individual mind. Beware of people who claim to be able to teach you self improvement; learning something is not the same as knowing it, and too much for what is passed on as "truth" is anything but true.
Very much appreciate the honesty with which RB shares his own needs, doubts, struggles while still dispensing hope and opportunity for change to all of us. Rock on.
amazing chat! I have chronic fatigue now and I realise that all those years of pushing my body too far has really not paid off because now I am forced to rest most of my day instead of resting a bit when I needed before and its a long hard lesson.
Wow. So many Amazing comments on here. People have been going through so many different things. Thankyou everyone for sharing. You are not alone. Healing will come from unexpected places. You are all a gift! Happy New Year! 🌿🍒🍍🎉
I'm absolutely positive the 4th shot will solve everything. If not then certainly the 5th and 6th will. But, I swear, if the 7th doesn't get us get us back to normal then I'm definitely going to reconsider getting my 8th.
Takes a lot of them to build a space station inside you. Each one carries little parts. Or how bout this... They are in contact with aliens who convinced them to poison us, gave them a weak recipe, and left them there looking hitleresque with no further instructions.
I worked until December. Worked through the pandemic, taking extra hours to help out. Then I was put on unpaid-leave and it's left me angry. Also I'm really worried about my kids. Worried about their future. Their lives have been put on hold, they've lost a lot of opportunities. I've found myself stuck watching RUclips way too much. And it's depressing. But it's January 1st, 2022, and I went outside in the minus 28 degrees Celsius today until my face hurt and it felt invigorating. Tomorrow back to Wim Hoff breathing and I will start my fasting again (haven't done it for a month). I wish you and yours a wonderful 2022, take care.
Agree 100 %, people need to find the best path to become themselves, and I know some of you mighT be saying you are but who are you when you have stripped all the fear, heartache, betrayals and even the dreams you have that have manifested from these spaces for your future? My centre is stillness and peace and I also Have built up my relationship to GOD.. but through understanding my astrology, numerology, human design chart and taking on teachings of various ascended masters this is where I landed. I wish all beings the peace I have created for myself and truly agree that we need to take care of the soul we have left or learn how to regrow it and soul is your Source Of Unconditional Love. The best way to know if you aren't living through your SOUL is to ask " am I having a pure and positive experience? " if the answer is no then the soul needs tending to, and depending on what hurts and traumas and fears you holding on to, just be prepared that this is a transition into a new way of living and it will take time, so be patient with your self, be kind to yourself, and let those around you know youare wanting to make the change so you don't get locked up or called crazy for wanting to be a new version, or maybe find out the true version , of you 😁💛 great video Russell, seriously loved this you beautiful angelic being 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💛💚💙💜🧡🤍❤🤍🧡💜💙💚💛
I love this channel. I love that u have these types of vids to offset how terrible i feel after learning of the corruption, etc discussed on the other youtube channel of yours.
I agree entirely with listening to my body and mind because they are one. I just recently started applying that with in the last 3 months or so. It has really helped but, after watching this I'm really gonna tap in as much as I can. Thank you
I agree totally about daily spiritual practices as being so important. Unfortunately, many of us are in economic survival mode and imprisoned by money or lack of it.
Guilt/fear keeps us in line like religion although I totally like what Russell is doing I do not agree that if the enemy is very much coming anyway that we listen to the voice of reason? Yes we can Listen now However? earth science aluminum etc creative thinking to oppose an oppressor hate to say this but Not Ashamed
I like these too very much however to just fall in line and pretend also that oppression like this will go away isn't the reality Maybe? I'm still there myself however preparing for this isn't far off for me either is it you? aluminum and earth science creatively
I have found a great amount of peace in my 12 step journey from Ram Dass and Jiddu Krishnamurti. It all seems to relate back to Here and Now. Just something to consider.
as parents, we want our children to learn the lessons that we learnt the hard way but without them experiencing pain and suffering. Discipline (physical or spiritual) involves pain
I'm a new sub RB, I have a mantra I use now to make my next song/video turn out well; when I get home from work (everybody has to work) I tell myself "What I do 1st, I'll do best" Before food or rest, MUSIC. I play through my new song on drums, piano, and guitar. Then I eat, and watch you on youtube.......
I like these too very much however to just fall in line and pretend also that oppression like this will away isn't necessarily the reality? I'm still with Russell however? earth science aluminum etc creatively isn't a bad idea either you know?
After my awakening in 94, I began a daily meditation practice which kept me in balance, something happened in the early 00s and I've been unable to meditate in that deep transcendental way, I tell you this because I miss the daily practice and the inner strength I found in it. Thanks for the reminder Russel, I'm making an appointment with myself to meditate. Love you brother 💜🙏💜
I'm 46 days clean and sober today. My life has never been better :) I'm trying not to long for anything at the moment. I'm trying to give up romantic relationships for at least a year as well. The only issue I have with that is I miss my ex and don't want her to find anyone else because I'll be insanely jealous to be honest! I'm also extremely poor so need to get a job but I'm worried that my sobriety will suffer!
It must be hard for newly sober people, what saved me was AA meetings! I was a junkie and alcoholic and it took many relapses to stay clean, but without AA ,I would have died long ago! Being among sober people who understand what you are going through is the best way to stay sober consistently! I met my wife in AA,22 years ago and we are both clean and sober, day at a time!
This was an amazingly compact discussion and description of the ‘tug of war’ that typically takes place between the material and spiritual for those dedicated to the journey. Thank you. I would enjoy hearing more helpful insights of this description so will likely go over to Luminary. Thank you again!
After many years of attempted meditation, I can now hear the Om sound. I think I know what the yogis are alluding to when they suggest we ask ourselves "Who am I?" We know God is everything. We know we are God. But do we know who God is? When we ask "Who am I?", what we are really asking is "Who or What are you God?" Take as fact that you are God. Take as fact that God is everything and all actions. Live God. Be God.
Definitely some more meditation and breathing videos would be awesome if you have more ideas. I am new to meditation because I have finally realized I have been letting my life be ruled by external and unnecessary factors and it has led to me living every day in fear of the uncertain and anxious to the point of sick. I need inner peace and I crave for this journey, I feel I am meant to travel on this path of spiritual enrichment and peace.
I practice meditation and breath work daily, what helped me go deeper into spirituality and being ‘aware’ was doing yoga daily. It connects the mind, body and spirit. Awareness, Movement and Breath.
I'm loving the meditations of Above the Noise and having that ear-reverent voice rumbling around in my skull. I feel that the combination of spirituality and politics is so important to having the strength to look with open eyes. From Russell's main channel, I've been getting a lot of interest in my YT political content but am hoping that 2022 is the year of finding engagement and relationship on the spiritual themes. That's the true common ground, I feel.
I like these too very much as long as we have time to do so However guilt/fear is old church fall in line? Russell isn't about this I know However to pretend that the opposite won't happen isn't reality either too? earth science aluminum etc creative thinking we may? have to do something
@@PeachesCourage Thanks for that response! I definitely feel the pull to be actively engaged in the resistance (if that's what you mean) and not having time to "drop out." But I've been seriously exploring the concept of time and whether we're made for time or time is made for us. I think that we have all the time we need because time expands when we stand still. It's something I talk about in From FOMO to JOMO: the Joy of Missing Out and a couple of others.
@@PeachesCourage if the earth was shaped as a donut and the universe was inside of a giant fish tank would we all know it or would be just be floating around as pond scum until we procreate and recycled back into the Nethervurse?? I wonder? 🤔💥 Ahhhh snap I got it. "They took errrrr jobbbbbsssss!!!!!!" Right!?😃
On second thought, I might be completely misunderstanding you. When I listen to Eddie, his yoga is more about self-care, which can be another form of guilt and fear about never doing enough, if your life isn't working out, it's your own fault. For me, I'm trying to understand what the ultimate reality is so that I can put the political realities in context. But I don't know if that makes sense?
How do you balance the spiritual truth with all of the theatrics of the world? Once I saw the truth, the world around me became nothing more than entertainment unfolding
I LIKE WHAT YOUR SAYING I just wrote everyone on the page ugh? Anyway you also have to look at the reality in this too you know? Will this oppressor go away if? If this reality persists what then you know? Russell is to correct and I really like what your saying here there is earth science - aluminum & creative thinking if necessary No shame or guilt if necessary
The "...theatrics of the world," as you appear to find entertaining, are horrifying in reality. One of my reasons for thinking as I do is indeed seeing the absurdity with which we are bombarded on a 24/7basis. Of course, our present reality could be called the theater of the absurd.
Russel, Jung, Watts, Peterson, Goggins, Fridman, Rogan, and many more -- these are my mentors now as I don't have any IRL Thank you all for what you do, you've saved my life. I would love more content on meditation, please.
Thank you so much...awesome...I drink green juice y eat little cuties too🍊...eating healthy is so important...I pray...have trust in God y do yoga..I feel better when I practice daily...some days can be hard but I am getting there...learning more about breathwork would be great...I have also practiced twelve steps..stopped using drugs in 2008 it has been so rewarding I feel blessed...God bless you y your familia💛🕯🤗🙏...Happy New Year🎊🌟🍾🎶
Totally agree about being more open to structure now and left to my own devices ...there's chaos. My structure is ✝️ example is Christ and yep I realized I do a lot better in life looking to Him as my example and my higher aspiration in all ways. We're made to have a relationship with God, were always striving, until we understand that we all we do is fall in places that look to fill that void. 🕯️💜✝️🙏😉🐑💐

Hi Russ, quick one. Love your videos, watch them regularly on both channels albeit not often commenting. During your intro, you're wearing a lovely jumper, could you point me in the right direction as to where I may source one. Thank you in advance. It looks cosy

I wasn’t feeling good. I watched this video, and now I feel better. You inspire me Russell. Thank you.
I recently have been blessed with an amazing accountability coach who is helping me lessen my anxiety without the use of medication. My first goal has been daily meditation at 10 am and I have used some of Russell's meditations. My coach was so happy with my progress that she suggested Russell's Awakening Channel to her other clients. I absolutely love the true "awakening" that Russell has been a part of throughout this entire pandemic. Thank you RB! You are a true inspiration! 🧡👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
There's a master inside all of us, we all have all the universe inside us. We should learn to look within instead of looking outside for help and guidance
Krishnamurti said it. Learn to be ur own master 🙂
Yes, Make each day a new Masterpiece!🌈🌿
Leave time for silliness... Don't be stuck in the finger cuff mentality of being a master and forgetting to be the fool.
@Scripturenest thank you for regurgitating that allegory that you may be a bit confused about. One of those verses pertains to the right of one race to rule the others because god chose them... Because they wrote the bible. Wake up. We got problems, and your beliefs fast track us to hell.
@@chrisbova9686 You have misinterpreted the Bible.
I used to get so annoyed with russel ,but now I think he's a very important helper in these ridiculous times
Love the interviews. I too need structure. I’m one who needs to sign up for a class to keep myself accountable. My struggle is when I find myself with a lack of energy to take action. Is my body telling me to rest or am I avoiding taking action? After listening to the interview, it seems as though I need to push myself a bit harder to do what’s good for me. Thanks for all you do to inspire others.
Very well said. I'm in the same boat.
Man you did describe myself. Im extrem in this. I have to fight with my self to stop and to be a better person.
I was "stuck" until I Ran Away from Home 2 years ago. I'll be 70 in March.
I'm not even scared whatsoever I'm actually the opposite of that im excited ! You know how many souls wanted to be down here when this happens? This is actually exciting.
I love how you share things and make people really think about our own selves, how we can incorporate these ideas into our own lives. Thankyou
Brilliant comment 👍🙏
As well as your videos being very helpful, I love scrolling through the comments and reading handy hints from enlightened souls. It's nice knowing there are many like-minded people out there, trying their best to live their best life without letting negative aspects take hold. Your videos attract peace loving people, thus creating lots of positive energy and feedback for your followers. Thanks for steering us through this rather tumultuous year ... Looking forward to facing the coming year head on, with your help of course Russell, no matter what "they" decide to throw at us. ✨🙏🧘🕉️
Literally what I'm doing now, scrolling through the comments as it's reassuring to see others on the same page!
Thanks Russell, I know everyone feels overwhelmed. Sometimes more than others I'm sure. But we all could use positive incouragment and motivation. Knowing we're not alone must help. Your all awesome. Take care and stay free!
It's great to have a balanced spiritual forum Russell. Thankyou for giving the average person the opportunity to express their views. In a society that is based upon material wealth and power politics, spiritual empathy is lacking.
Thank you for spreading the truth. The more people who are sharing the better.
That man IS a master. You are lucky to have found him. And can afford him.
Many can not.
I feel we have to be mindful that as, we do we become, we will never ever arrive there! Again we need to be more kind to ourselves as humans with all our shortcomings.
Sometimes too many words are too many words. Om
When a law-biding citizen is approached by 3 burly policemen while simply walking down the road and told to put their mask on, yes, it is stressful and humiliating. This happened to me yesterday in France and I came home and cried.
Great! Please interview the great work they're doing at Heart Math Institute in Boulder Creek, California. Time-transcendent electromagnetic connection of people -- orienting all you do/think/say/are from your heart. Happy and Healthy New Year to you!!!
Thank you for everything Russell!
Guilt/ fear keep us coming here? That's not natural though I cannot pretend they will stop if we maintain pretending
Taking this on myself isn't Truth preparing for what Might happen isn't shame why not? We do that all the time don't we? Humanly possible earth science aluminum etc If this happens are we ants ? Yes it's ok maybe now?

During the first pandemic I started producing electronic music on my ipad and I am still doing it to this day, has definitely helped me to stay mentally healthy. I think the trick is finding a mix of things to do which are constructive and ones which are just fun (reading, computer games etc.)
It takes hard work to walk the truth. Yes . Amen
Music mainly guitar, my daughters and imminent death mostly prayers from the heart got me out of a 20 year heroin addiction i had bikes, trucks, cars, land big house and i landed in the streets of Albany homeless af now three years in i live a mindful life saved through the blood of Yaheshua Hamachiach and here we are indoors isolated in danger of relapse !i see how satan's filling hell so easily his minions are working overtime to darken our light during this plandemic . As a recovery coach i see the carnage then i see the occasional breakthrough into a sober and fulfilling life .Hallelujah Having noting no possessions taught me the real value of life ! you gave me much on my journey Russel Brand Thank you for sharing your journey with us all G-d bless you and Namaste !
Excellent video man. 👍👍👍
Quite an awakening for me. Thank you very much!
Yes, I agree, all people need to develop a spiritual practice, and Yoga is the best way. "Silence is a spiritual vitamin."
Thank you for your beautiful and inspiring job! I would love to hear more breath techniques and how to deal with anxiety and feelings of lack of motivation for life, especially because failing to find and execute on my life’s purpose....
Sending you love ❤️
LOVE YOU Russell. Thankyou for using your voice and privlege in service of the higher purpose.
His voice is mesmerizing haha, especially since the words he said were so beautiful. Thank you both!
No one is a master, everyone is a master.
I am a yoga instructor, so I know some of the breath practices, but I would enjoy being guided thru some that may help with grief. I've lost a very dear friend to alcohol abuse recently and I feel the grief trapped in my lungs. It doesn't quiet have the same effect while teaching these pranayamas and it's nice to find new ways of moving through the breath. Even if it's just being taught the same practices by a different teacher. Thank you. Your work is beautiful and so needed in our world.💞
I would recommend also looking up shallow breathing techniques like the "buteyko method. Helps reverse tension/hyperventilating unconscious breathing
I could not find any shortcuts or fixes for grief, just had to live through it. I was able to learn to "control" the outside signs of grieving until I was in appropriate places. And the "living" through it was a valuable experience in surrendering and the will to overcome. I am fortunate that I do believe my loved ones are in better places, this helped with the overwhelming feeling of wrongness. I actually had to stop my yoga practice for a while because my brain/body couldn't handle the feelings that released during yoga "practice", I let it go until I was ready to let my attachment to the grief go. Good luck, I hope you treat yourself with kindness.
The book Breath by James Nestor is a good book and talks about the correct way we should all breath and how most of us today, due to modern living, breath a way that can have a negative effect on our body and mind.
I took up practicing Qi gong a couple of years ago. This has helped with weight loss and anxiety. It is a moving meditation that is meant to be relaxing and enjoyable. The focus is on breath, mindfulness, and movement. It works with the Chi, Meridians in the body. It can be done sitting or standing. It also incorporates some gentle self massage. It is great to do outside in nature too. SMILE= Start My Internal Love Engine. Some of my favorites are: Ten Finger Qi gong/ Brother Insight, Spring Forest Qi gong, and Qi gong with Kseny. Enjoy! Happy New Year to all! Keep Shining!😻🌍🌞🌿
Sorry to hear that dear. That sounds painful. ❤
Hey Russell! I’ve been reading a wonderful book entitled “Restoration Agriculture” by Mark Shepard. In this book, Mark talks about our current agriculture system. Mark explains that currently the world uses annual crops to supply humanity with food. There are many problems associated with just farming annual crops, but one of them is having to continually increase the use of pesticides and herbicides. The farmers use their sprays, all of the insects and weeds die except for the ones that were resistant to the chemicals. These insects or weeds then repopulate the ENTIRE population and so new chemicals have to be developed all the time to keep up with this. Mark proposed a solution to this using a whole system approach to agriculture where it’s basically letting nature do all of the work. Because who is making sure all those plants in the forest are growing and staying alive??? NO ONE! Nature does it all alone, baby! Oh yeah! Let’s fucking go nature. Back to my point. Isn’t this exactly what’s happening to us with corona virus? If we think of ourselves as the annual plants, the virus as the population of weeds and insects, and the vaccines as the herbicides and pesticides then we get ourselves a good little picture. Because the EXACT same thing is happening right now to us. The virus is becoming more potent, the vaccines are becoming less effective and more need to be given at a more frequent rate, and we humans are becoming less human in the process.
I've lived in Japan for many years, where people prioritize their needs over their wants. There is no "Keeping up with the Joneses" here, Japanese do not earn nearly as much as Americans for the same work, yet they do a much better job for what they earn. There is pleasure in labor, even when that labor is done for another's benefit (and all labor is performed for the benefit of others in exchange for some smaller self-benefit). An old priest in the Edo era of Japan said "In reality, Buddha's law is simple; wear your clothes, eat you rice, drink your tea." As for individualism, it is not an evil. The meaning of life is self improvement, to, through experience, break the bonds our physical bodies place on our spiritual mind. This comes through education, work, and experience, you can't find enlightenment sitting on your backside with a clear mind while breathing carefully. There can not be a strong collective unless there are strong individuals, and the collective mind is the greatest restraint to the growth of the individual mind. Beware of people who claim to be able to teach you self improvement; learning something is not the same as knowing it, and too much for what is passed on as "truth" is anything but true.
We have simplified our lives since 2020 so much, it’s amazing. Also paid off all debt with only the mortgage left. Never been happier.
Very much appreciate the honesty with which RB shares his own needs, doubts, struggles while still dispensing hope and opportunity for change to all of us. Rock on.
🎸🎵🎼🌞
Thank you. I'm sharing this with people. I appreciate so much the work you do, and your authenticity!
amazing chat! I have chronic fatigue now and I realise that all those years of pushing my body too far has really not paid off because now I am forced to rest most of my day instead of resting a bit when I needed before and its a long hard lesson.
Loved this video and I’m so grateful for these teachings!! 🙏💓💃🏻
I’d like to hear more about nurturing your body with food and how it’s connected to a longer life, mental health and spiritual wellness.
Wow. So many Amazing comments on here. People have been going through so many different things. Thankyou everyone for sharing. You are not alone. Healing will come from unexpected places. You are all a gift! Happy New Year! 🌿🍒🍍🎉
I'm absolutely positive the 4th shot will solve everything. If not then certainly the 5th and 6th will.
But, I swear, if the 7th doesn't get us get us back to normal then I'm definitely going to reconsider getting my 8th.
😂😂😂😂

Takes a lot of them to build a space station inside you. Each one carries little parts.
Or how bout this... They are in contact with aliens who convinced them to poison us, gave them a weak recipe, and left them there looking hitleresque with no further instructions.
I LOVE that you make these teachers and techniques ACCESSIBLE!!!!!
See auras see rays of light seen pura soul and continue evolution of spirtull jounery ..it's beautiful..
I worked until December. Worked through the pandemic, taking extra hours to help out. Then I was put on unpaid-leave and it's left me angry. Also I'm really worried about my kids. Worried about their future. Their lives have been put on hold, they've lost a lot of opportunities. I've found myself stuck watching RUclips way too much. And it's depressing. But it's January 1st, 2022, and I went outside in the minus 28 degrees Celsius today until my face hurt and it felt invigorating. Tomorrow back to Wim Hoff breathing and I will start my fasting again (haven't done it for a month). I wish you and yours a wonderful 2022, take care.
The timing is crazy of this video popping up. Thank you Russell!
Agree 100 %, people need to find the best path to become themselves, and I know some of you mighT be saying you are but who are you when you have stripped all the fear, heartache, betrayals and even the dreams you have that have manifested from these spaces for your future? My centre is stillness and peace and I also Have built up my relationship to GOD.. but through understanding my astrology, numerology, human design chart and taking on teachings of various ascended masters this is where I landed. I wish all beings the peace I have created for myself and truly agree that we need to take care of the soul we have left or learn how to regrow it and soul is your Source Of Unconditional Love. The best way to know if you aren't living through your SOUL is to ask " am I having a pure and positive experience? " if the answer is no then the soul needs tending to, and depending on what hurts and traumas and fears you holding on to, just be prepared that this is a transition into a new way of living and it will take time, so be patient with your self, be kind to yourself, and let those around you know youare wanting to make the change so you don't get locked up or called crazy for wanting to be a new version, or maybe find out the true version , of you 😁💛 great video Russell, seriously loved this you beautiful angelic being 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💛💚💙💜🧡🤍❤🤍🧡💜💙💚💛
I love this channel. I love that u have these types of vids to offset how terrible i feel after learning of the corruption, etc discussed on the other youtube channel of yours.
Since the vibration of Earth has increased my nervous system has been on full tilt I need to find balance
I agree entirely with listening to my body and mind because they are one. I just recently started applying that with in the last 3 months or so. It has really helped but, after watching this I'm really gonna tap in as much as I can. Thank you
I find things are more like they are now than they ever were before.
I was beat incomplete I’ve been had I was sad and blue but you made me feel shiny and new
Mind, body and spirit are three different things functioning together like a well oiled piece of machinery..
Subscribed. I"m open to listening to anything. Thank you for putting this out there!
Absolutely fascinating. I’m seriously into this
I agree totally about daily spiritual practices as being so important. Unfortunately, many of us are in economic survival mode and imprisoned by money or lack of it.
Perfect Timing 🙏🏻✨🦋
Guilt/fear keeps us in line like religion although I totally like what Russell is doing I do not agree that if the enemy is very much coming anyway that we listen to the voice of reason? Yes we can Listen now However? earth science aluminum etc creative thinking to oppose an oppressor hate to say this but Not Ashamed
This clip was very helpful. Thank you so much!
Thanks Russell! Seeing you in February, can’t wait
I like these too very much however to just fall in line and pretend also that oppression like this will go away isn't the reality Maybe? I'm still there myself however preparing for this isn't far off for me either is it you? aluminum and earth science creatively
No more chronic pain no Thyroid problem s yes .. godbless you Russell xo
Excellent 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone. Happy New Year everyone 🌻
On my spiritual journey last 4 years since my child's dad passed away still learning
I have found a great amount of peace in my 12 step journey from Ram Dass and Jiddu Krishnamurti. It all seems to relate back to Here and Now.
Just something to consider.
Thank you
Love and light
Thanks Russell from London
Thank you both for sharing your insights and intelligence. I loved "spiritual nutrition"
as parents, we want our children to learn the lessons that we learnt the hard way but without them experiencing pain and suffering. Discipline (physical or spiritual) involves pain
I'm a new sub RB, I have a mantra I use now to make my next song/video turn out well; when I get home from work (everybody has to work) I tell myself "What I do 1st, I'll do best" Before food or rest, MUSIC. I play through my new song on drums, piano, and guitar. Then I eat, and watch you on youtube.......
Thank you. I got a good point here.

I like these too very much however to just fall in line and pretend also that oppression like this will away isn't necessarily the reality? I'm still with Russell however? earth science aluminum etc creatively isn't a bad idea either you know?
After my awakening in 94, I began a daily meditation practice which kept me in balance, something happened in the early 00s and I've been unable to meditate in that deep transcendental way, I tell you this because I miss the daily practice and the inner strength I found in it.
Thanks for the reminder Russel, I'm making an appointment with myself to meditate.
Love you brother 💜🙏💜
I'm 46 days clean and sober today. My life has never been better :) I'm trying not to long for anything at the moment. I'm trying to give up romantic relationships for at least a year as well. The only issue I have with that is I miss my ex and don't want her to find anyone else because I'll be insanely jealous to be honest! I'm also extremely poor so need to get a job but I'm worried that my sobriety will suffer!
It must be hard for newly sober people, what saved me was AA meetings! I was a junkie and alcoholic and it took many relapses to stay clean, but without AA ,I would have died long ago! Being among sober people who understand what you are going through is the best way to stay sober consistently! I met my wife in AA,22 years ago and we are both clean and sober, day at a time!
@@pashapasovski5860 I've been going to those meetings and it is really helping so I'm going to keep coming back, thank you :)
This was an amazingly compact discussion and description of the ‘tug of war’ that typically takes place between the material and spiritual for those dedicated to the journey. Thank you. I would enjoy hearing more helpful insights of this description so will likely go over to Luminary. Thank you again!
I love this! Thank you 😊 💓
Have another group meditation Russell.
After many years of attempted meditation, I can now hear the Om sound. I think I know what the yogis are alluding to when they suggest we ask ourselves "Who am I?" We know God is everything. We know we are God. But do we know who God is? When we ask "Who am I?", what we are really asking is "Who or What are you God?" Take as fact that you are God. Take as fact that God is everything and all actions. Live God. Be God.
Yeh that was helpful thanks mate. Need to listen more to my body, and be aware of what I need to keep myself in balance..
This time like all times is a very good time if but only we know what to do with it.
Definitely some more meditation and breathing videos would be awesome if you have more ideas. I am new to meditation because I have finally realized I have been letting my life be ruled by external and unnecessary factors and it has led to me living every day in fear of the uncertain and anxious to the point of sick.
I need inner peace and I crave for this journey, I feel I am meant to travel on this path of spiritual enrichment and peace.
I practice meditation and breath work daily, what helped me go deeper into spirituality and being ‘aware’ was doing yoga daily. It connects the mind, body and spirit. Awareness, Movement and Breath.
I'm loving the meditations of Above the Noise and having that ear-reverent voice rumbling around in my skull. I feel that the combination of spirituality and politics is so important to having the strength to look with open eyes. From Russell's main channel, I've been getting a lot of interest in my YT political content but am hoping that 2022 is the year of finding engagement and relationship on the spiritual themes. That's the true common ground, I feel.
I like these too very much as long as we have time to do so However guilt/fear is old church fall in line? Russell isn't about this I know However to pretend that the opposite won't happen isn't reality either too? earth science aluminum etc creative thinking we may? have to do something
@@PeachesCourage Thanks for that response! I definitely feel the pull to be actively engaged in the resistance (if that's what you mean) and not having time to "drop out." But I've been seriously exploring the concept of time and whether we're made for time or time is made for us. I think that we have all the time we need because time expands when we stand still. It's something I talk about in From FOMO to JOMO: the Joy of Missing Out and a couple of others.
@@PeachesCourage if the earth was shaped as a donut and the universe was inside of a giant fish tank would we all know it or would be just be floating around as pond scum until we procreate and recycled back into the Nethervurse?? I wonder? 🤔💥
Ahhhh snap I got it. "They took errrrr jobbbbbsssss!!!!!!" Right!?😃
@@thirdparadigm Feel the pull EWWWWWW YEah!!!!!! 💪🥸🤡🙈
On second thought, I might be completely misunderstanding you. When I listen to Eddie, his yoga is more about self-care, which can be another form of guilt and fear about never doing enough, if your life isn't working out, it's your own fault. For me, I'm trying to understand what the ultimate reality is so that I can put the political realities in context. But I don't know if that makes sense?
How do you balance the spiritual truth with all of the theatrics of the world? Once I saw the truth, the world around me became nothing more than entertainment unfolding
I LIKE WHAT YOUR SAYING I just wrote everyone on the page ugh? Anyway you also have to look at the reality in this too you know? Will this oppressor go away if? If this reality persists what then you know? Russell is to correct and I really like what your saying here there is earth science - aluminum & creative thinking if necessary No shame or guilt if necessary
The "...theatrics of the world," as you appear to find entertaining, are horrifying in reality. One of my reasons for thinking as I do is indeed seeing the absurdity with which we are bombarded on a 24/7basis. Of course, our present reality could be called the theater of the absurd.
I have been following Nick Breau , he’s amazing , I’ve been fighting myself for years , I relaxed for the first time completely this morning !!!
Russel, Jung, Watts, Peterson, Goggins, Fridman, Rogan, and many more -- these are my mentors now as I don't have any IRL Thank you all for what you do, you've saved my life. I would love more content on meditation, please.
Thank you so much...awesome...I drink green juice y eat little cuties too🍊...eating healthy is so important...I pray...have trust in God y do yoga..I feel better when I practice daily...some days can be hard but I am getting there...learning more about breathwork would be great...I have also practiced twelve steps..stopped using drugs in 2008 it has been so rewarding I feel blessed...God bless you y your familia💛🕯🤗🙏...Happy New Year🎊🌟🍾🎶
Thank you sir. Great advice from a good man
You can't fool me Russ, this is the bloke off, 'Hot Ones'... 🙏
Totally agree about being more open to structure now and left to my own devices ...there's chaos.
My structure is ✝️ example is Christ and yep I realized I do a lot better in life looking to Him as my example and my higher aspiration in all ways.
We're made to have a relationship with God, were always striving, until we understand that we all we do is fall in places that look to fill that void.
🕯️💜✝️🙏😉🐑💐
Please do a segment about the epidemic of narcissism that accompanies capitalism and seems to have seeped into every aspect of the family I just broke up with mine!!!
It's an effortless effort. Colour and Sound meditation 🧘♀️ ✨
Hi Russ, quick one. Love your videos, watch them regularly on both channels albeit not often commenting. During your intro, you're wearing a lovely jumper, could you point me in the right direction as to where I may source one. Thank you in advance. It looks cosy
Positive thought in action _ superb
I look back with a nostalgic, wistful tear in my eye, mourning the loss of man flu and better days, when 'freedom' was the accepted plurality of freedom, without the superfluous 's' on the end... 😔
Your doing great keep up the good work , you and your team are excellent!!
Definitely enjoyed this video... Definitely would like more on both breathing and meditation 🤗
