I'm not easily spooked but when I started answering in different voices and actually feeling the shift I could feel that this is gonna stay with me for the rest of my life. So powerful
Vast mind and Seeker reminded me something I did long years ago. My Identity, Purpose and what should I be doing . "Continue the identity you were seeking before, you already achieved, and met the real you. You just didn't show or reveal, you just buried that identity. That is why you continue to find yourself again."
My silent witness was so silent that he didn't even know he exists. We were both surprised. The last part, vast mind, caught me off guard and I just couldn't hold back my tears. Thank for this, it was a beautiful experience altogether.
Every question took so much thought except for the vast mind, where the answers "infinite" "everywhere and nowhere" "outside of time" came immediately without any thought as if they were the most obvious thing in the world
I had the same types of answers for the vast mind. Along with it, that "voice" seemed noticeably louder to the point that I slightly jumped at the answer. A very enlightening exercise.
Lol my answers were literally "I don't know exactly what you mean by vast", "yes, of course", "in Daniel's head", "yes", "now", "yes", "yes", and "yes". But yeah it was way faster than any of the other answers.
And I answered it so simply. Yes, no, maybe (not so much maybe. Maybe is just an example). I am vast, but I observe, therefore I have found out time and space exist inside and outside of me, since my experience has risen from the outside, which brings upon experience on the inside.
This is also something called "IFS Therapy" or Internal family Systems Therapy. There's a reason those other parts jump in, it's to protect you, whether you actually need protecting or not. There's also a way to handle that.... by kindly asking them if they can step aside so you can dialog with the part that's talking. This exercise is just the tip of the iceberg in how much you can go inward and even heal physical issues controlled by those parts. Thanks for sharing this video!!
I was particularly moved by the silent witness, who could barely speak in a whisper and cried by the end of their questioning. When asked what they liked, they simply stated, “Trees, water, light through the leaves, and an open field.”
I basically felt like I temporarily split my personality into *some of* its many identities. Except for the vast mind. At that moment I felt as if all the other parts of me were unimportant. I basically immediately fell asleep into partial lucid dreaming. This was something different and incredible.
My vast mind answered everything so quickly and naturally without pause. It felt distant but also totally encapsulating. After the video I continued a conversation with it for a few minutes and it was truly comforting.
Thank you. I spent a enjoybable evening watching your educational videos. Your teaching style is very engaging. I have plans to watch more. I was fortunate enough to be sent a link of one of your videos. By a member in my spiritual group I run. I gained a lot of profound insight from this therapeutic exercise. I am of now off to connect to my vast mind. Which I found out was infinite and has no boundaries. The boundaries it had. I placed on it myself. I am sure I will find more fascinating insights into my light/shadow self. I sense this excerice will be a major door opener for me to infinite knowledge and wisdom and divine connection. Just my cup of tea 🥰 Blessing 💖✨
Each part of my mind responding, invoked different feelings. I cried with sadness in the silent witness when asked how it made me feel. The vast mind felt so sure, so aware and strong. It kinda brought a feeling of calmness and complete confidence and knowing. Thank you for this ❤️
I was looking to see if anyone else had the silent witness cry It was tired from being hidden behind judging and skeptic's lenses and never seeing the clear truth I also never cry and was shocked when tears started pouring out I don't think I properly connected with the vast mind so I might try it again
Despite what the comments say, the vast mind was the hardest to do. I couldn't muster up any answer whatsoever, but with the others it was a lot easier
My silent witness and vast mind were the most intriguing of all. The silent witness seemed hurt and upset. They were tired of silently witnessing bs go down. And my vast mind....is so vast. They are infinite and everything. It was a very interesting dialogue. Thank you.
My vast mind just said "Nah I'm finite. I mean 'vast' itself describes something which is huge, but still finite, right? But for you, I might as well be infinite 'cause you'll never explore all of me." Gave me more sass than the Judge... Kinda respect that.
My Silent Witness was also hurt for me not giving it the time and appreciation it deserves. It loves when I meditate and we merge but it wanted me to do it more often. Like before. This was truly an amazing experience! Thank you.
Everywhere and Nowhere Baby, That's where I'm At!! That's what the Vast Mind Sang and Giggled!! Thank you so much, this is Amazing! Namaste and Kindest Regards, Andrea and Critter Family. XxX
Thank you for this, Denis. As I mentioned in my first comment (which I made before starting the exercise at all), my therapist and I did something similar to this called "Parts Work / Internal Family Systems", in which I spoke to parts of myself and asked them what their purpose is, if they are hiding or bullying other Parts, if they wanted a different job, etc. It felt quite silly doing it with her, but I did occasionally get some great and helpful insights from it. However, it was not linearly-arranged like this exercise is (i.e., how this exercise has us move ever further inward). But this exercise... I knew I wanted to keep all my responses, so I decided to record my entire process. The whole thing ended up being 1.5 hours long. More impressive than the length is just how many incredible insights into myself that I got out of this short 20-minute-long video!!! (And the prompt isn't even a full 20 minutes, I think it's like 15 minutes long?) My Controller Part had some incredible self-realizations, as did my Judging Part, my Desire Part especially, and my Silent Witness. I found it interesting that as I got ever inward, I deepened into a trance-like state, and once I reached the Silent Witness, the answers became shorter and more zen... and the answers from the Vast Mind were all one word answers. Very cool. What a gift, thank you so much, Denis.
I’ve started asking the vast mind if I should or should not take an action if I am unsure, and each time I’ve followed it’s reply. I can only say that the vast mind isn’t just present, it’s also in the past and the future at the same time. This has become one of the most fascinating videos that I’ve ever watched and will ever. Wow.
It is clear where traditional religion stumbles upon "the kingdom of the heavens is within you". There is nothing outside of the participants (parts of mind) that project reality. We are the causes of all effects (experiences). Excellent exercise! Great presentation!
I am tears. What an overwhelmingly powerful thing to witness. How the silent witness is so present - and how offended my judgment was. But the vast mind - just completely made me weep with remembering. Thank you (for all of your work, but this especially).
Hi Lisbeth, I'm very moved by your words. I'm so glad you were able to follow the process through to the end and clearly experience it fully, the way it was intended. Thank you for reaching out, people like you letting me know you've benefited from these videos keeps me motivated to do more 😁
Foolish Fish I loved the excellent experience. But t I could not find the silent wittness. Unsure if it’s meaning. I guess. All others seemed to be present and understood their meaning
@FoolishFish Thank you so much, I found the Protecting me, seemed to be the work of nearly Every part of my mind, Except for the Silent Witness & Vast Mind! This is absolutely the Best Thing Ever for Expanding the Consciousness and I am going back to this, and also playing this to my depressed husband!! Namaste 🙏 Andrea and Critter Family. XxX.
This experiment is worth taking the time to give it full attention. It reminds me of the inner dialogues involved in Jung's Active Imagination exercise. I found I kept forgetting to speak out loud, as I have more practise in strictly internal dialogue--no vocal component. Yet having the video to follow along with helped remind me to use my voice. Thank you for this lovely experience. I appreciate the quality of material you present in your videos.
I have never felt compelled to leave a comment on youtube; I am usually a very private person. Just wanted to say thank you Foolish Fish, as this experiment left me with a unique impression (as compared to other elements of my practice). Never have I experienced some of the many aspects of Self come into such close, and constructive, conversation. My 'silent observer' was so deeply contented that each of these aspects were happy unto themselves while being amongst one another. Archetype has always been an abstract template used to decipher the psyche for me, and always I have dealt with each of them one-on-one. This was different, insightful, emotional, and corporeal. In the state of the Vast Mind at the end and on after the video I experienced an energetic rush/intensification that completely lit me up, opened every pore, stood every hair of the body on-end. I can only describe as "other, but me." Somewhat ineffable. Complete ecstasy, complete stillness. Time eternal yet, singular. The gap between macrocosm and microcosm became much smaller, if only for a moment. I apologize to anyone reading this in it's entirety. Much longer than I intended for it to be. But if anyone reading this can relate, then I suppose my words weren't in vain. Much Love
Like everyone seemingly most everyone else, the Vast Mind was the quickest, but the Judging Mind seemed to insist he was a king of Binah/Saturn and that the Skeptic was his servant. The Skeptic seemed particularly fond of you, for some reason. It honestly amazes me how much personality each one of them had, and how different they were from one another. This video was more helpful to me than you'll ever know. Thank you.
Amazing. I would often talk to myself, but I did not have the correct questions or way of directing the mind. This exercise has revealed an aspect and direction without confusion. This is the first time that I feel better talking to myself.
I'm ALWAYS tense, uptight, on edge, hyper vigilant, stressed. Right now, after completing the voice exercise, I feel so calm and peaceful at the moment. It's not a common feeling at all for myself and is even a little uncomfortable, even, what I'm experiencing. I can definitely listen to and complete the voice exercises daily. Especially if this is how I'm left feeling. Thank you!
This is the most powerful mystical experience I've had in years!!! Foolish Fish I have no words of gratitude to you, only vast emotions of gratitude and love! I shed no tears, but I found out that Skeptic has no role in me whatsoever, he's the dude that always slacks off and laughs at others for doing such a meticulous job, the Protector was so-so, the Judge was a fierce fella, but he cooperated, the Desire wasn't as kinky as I thought her to be, and when the Vast came - it was all so ONE, and all was simple and there. Here and there and everywhere, now and always, yes and no, no and yes and infinite * o * I am blown away, thanks again!!! I will be trying this many more times and I'm going to show it to my mystic friends, this is a must!
When I was a kid I had a jail cell in my head with all these identities locked away and just 'me' running the place. In the last few years I have relaxed that, and doing this exercise just now reminded me how many aspects of myself I have, male and female, strong and meek, forcefull and calm. When I got to the silent witness I was talking about how everyone else is happy to be moving about, but how sad I am for finally realizing I am more than I think I am on first blush. The silent witness commented a couple times on how I was crying with all these revelations of my different aspects actually loving me. Now I have even more parts of me to reconnect with. Thank you!
The vast mind seems to resonate most with my true self. The answers to the questions came almost before the question was even finished, while the constituent parts of the mind took some time to provide an answer - and even still they seemed a bit unsure as to the accuracy of the answer. The vast mind provided its answers with no question... thank you for this.
This was really a remarkable exercise. I've taken it a step further now and have begun to use this to examine and understand other parts of my personality like my sometimes agressive behavior that has caused me issues in my life. I can see using this as a great means of self-reflective therapy and ego management.
There is a psychological method called The Parts Therapy, or something. I can''t quite remember. But I bet it would turn up in a search. It's about just that - calling on all the "parts" of you and addressing issues with each part.
The controller stayed in control the whole time. I could never switch to another part of the mind no matter how hard I tried because I know who I am and I am the controller of my mind....my world....you are always in control of your own thoughts.
Almost all before the Silent Witness thought you were out to get them. The silent witness is so proud of and loving towards me, the Vast mind has no bounds, it is without limit in all aspects! I am amazed!
Wow, some of these where quite hard to answer without the others jumping in as I always seem to be having a hearted debate going on within my head. Thank you for sharing this, I will go through this experiment a few more times. I can see the amazing advantages of just realising that each of the parts of the mind has its place and its time and must be allowed a voice. Thank you so much, really!
100% on commodifying ideas, philosophy, and spiritual practice. I applaud you for talking about the concept by technically subverting the legalism of a ban on the use of the term but sharing the concept instead. An idea cannot be owned. And we wonder why the realist run the world. I was told flat out in my International Relations PhD program, "welcome to the discipline. All of the interesting frameworks that are not Realism or Liberalism, forget them if you want a job." I didn't finish my dissertation. I couldn't take it.
This video gives me the proof to silent the controller and the fixer, to give rest to the tired skeptic, to thank the judging mind for good , to lighten the work of the seeker of the way, to cherish the desire and the silent witness , and most of all, to give room to the seeker of Fun to seek how fun it will be to only speak to the Vast mind 🤗😊 a Huge mega fabulous wonderful THANK you for sharing this experience with us... I will make the most of it 🙏🏼🌸and share it too. So much Joy!!! You saved my day and you may have saved my life! Who knows 😉
This one has been cropping up in my recommendations for a couple weeks and I finally went through it. Very interesting reaction when you asked the silent witness if you could speak to the vast mind. Immediate response was, "But you already are. I am the silent witness." That caught me off guard. Fantastic exercise.
My inner skeptic thought nothing would come of this video. It doesn’t believe there is any real basis for all this “spiritual” stuff. But it’s also skeptical of the idea that we are just clouds of chemicals. Desire was interesting because I had the strongest emotional reaction to it. Overcome by it almost. The protector is the one that almost made me cry. It’s something that is so strong within me. The silent witness feels almost helpless. Like she has a burden to carry. The seeker of the way is searching for divinity. And the vast mind didn’t need time to reflect, it just knew. It answered everything all at once. This is incredible. Love this video, and your channel! ❤️
Wow, that was incredible. Amazing, how with each aspect pulled out, I actually spoke in different tones: Silent witness whispered, while Skeptic sneered and said "bullshit" a lot, Judge made me sit upright, and Desire cried at being unloved so much. Thank you so very much for this. Incredible experience.
Amazing exercise, Denis👏 I learnt that the controller is less in control than they believe, and despite their differing personalities, all aspects are doing what they feel is best for me.
What an extraordinary experience! I'm too caught up in the feeling that the top of my head's come off to offer any coherent thoughts at the moment, except to say thank you.
I'm still in that moment at the end. I haven't felt that way for a long time. Now that I'm looking around me, everything seems unimportant. This video has brought together many teachings and practices I've learned over the years - and they especially seem to have ramped up recently. This video has been a gift.💖 I would like to write more but may in the future. What I will say briefly, is that The Vast Mind came up with the briefest (very much so!) and most profound replies. I'm a compulsive comment reader, but will avoid that for now. I may come back to this within the next few days. PS although it wasn't mentioned whether one should or should not do this, I left the voice recorder going while I did this exercise because I suspected it would be "a good 'un" (and I was certainly not disappointed!!!). I'm glad that I did, even though I'm not sure if I will ever read it, but I like to think I might be able to evoke the memory of this experience more distinctly if ever I do read it. But who knows, it should perhaps be one of these experiences that happens and does not happen again.
This is incredible. For years I would speak aloud in my commute too work and on the way home. I could not help myself. Wondering if I had become mentally Ill ; I decide to search out what professionals say about it. The conclusion what talking you your self is the brains way of checking in on you to see if you are still there. The years of driving the same roads day after day drug it out of me.
@@ultravioletpisces3666 You can invoke every part you can name. I don't think they are numbered. Since those "parts" are not actual splits in your personality I believe. I see them of gatherings of psychological aspects being personalized. So if you want to question the part who likes to take a shit ask it. If you like to ask the part who hates to pay the bills ask it. The general questioning in the beginning of each part helps me to ease into it. So invoke whatever part you can come up with. But be aware that some answers you might don't want to hear.
Didn’t read any comments before the vid. Came down afterwards to see others experiences. I’m blown away that mostly everyone experienced quick and precise responses to the vast mind questions
I felt each step was peeling back another LAYER, but instead of shrinking like if one was peeling an onion, each layer seems to grow more expansive until finally the VAST MIND brought me to a feeling of immense universal introspective thought/thinking... quite remarkable. I also found that many layers or steps were similar to the previous one, but the nuance grew in magnitudes from the previous layer/step. Thank you.
Wow!! I just experienced a serendipity. When you were talking about who we choose to speak as, I decided on being the fixer. The fixer, those words exactly in my mind. I’m blown away. Perhaps someone is whispering in my ear? Or perhaps you think a bit like I do.
This was a wonderful experience, but the last two were too abstract for me to connect to. These were such surprising, challenging questions for the parts of my mind to answer, it took about two hours. It was like each part was a fractal of the last aspect summoned forth-so well organized
I felt the same way towards the end. I was into it, but for the last three or so I felt like I was starting to give rote responses, answering the way I knew the video was prompting me to answer.
The answers/responses from almost every mind-perspective needed time and reflection. I expected my silent witness to be - well...silent. It was the most frustrated and emotional of all. Yet Vast Mind...perfect calm. No thought needed, no upset. No second guessing. No need to "re-state" my answer. No "time" was needed. It knew and I knew... It knew Itself. Without thought. What an amazing experience. Thank you, for offering this - deeply appreciated.
This tech has been flushed out further. You can give permission to the body and complete tasks one thought was undoable. This is a method to overcome the mental disputes that stop us from doing things. For instance, the artist might be to afraid to come out and art. So, it can be given permission to work uninterrupted to actually create art, instead of being paralyzed.
I am literally sitting here thinking what to do with the 90% finished illustration that should have been finished months ago and couldnt make myself do the other 10% to reach the “finish line”. Oy vey
As someone who has never felt "artistic" but always wanted to do art, I really appreciate your comment! I'm now off to see if someone has made a step-by-step version of this exercise for that problem -- and if not, I will try to think of how to tweak it myself. Thank you for the idea!!! 😊
Very instructive exercise. I hadn’t realized how strong and rather abusive the controller was. The Judgmental mind was also strong. I think I want to explore further. Thank you for bringing this interesting method of self exploration to light
The Vast mind kept saying, it just is. "When are you? " it said, Present. Almost one word replies consisting of so much wisdom that I felt I've gained in meditation. Skeptic was baffled but he "played" along Controller was aware he wasn't wanted always.
I had a similar experience. My desire got irritated. He almost views the physical being as infantile and he needs guidance which is where they step in...
Tingles all over me, spooky and trance like by the end. Ultimately a feeling of empowerment and wonder.. So many things to say. I hope people don't read the comments first. I didn't and I took maybe 45 + minutes over this. Thank you so much
It’s amazing how fast the vast mind answered without having to think. It kind of made me want to trade in the rest of my mind and just call myself Vast. Where’s the video on that?
Thank you for this! I can definitely see this working with clients especially after an hypnosis induction, few sentences would have to be tweaked to maximise the desired effect but it’s a fantastic tool . And I agree with you, copyrighting self help ( or self transforming) techniques is not the most effective way to go about it. Thanks again for sharing this.
This was just...wow. Thanks a lot...and I don't know whether it's bad or not...I'm currently thinking like I'm some sort of god. I like this state of mind. I'm fearless and feeling like I can achieve everything I want to. Thanks again. The whole "know yourself" concept just found a new meaning to me.
This is one of the most interesting and potentially therapeutic mental exercises I’ve ever seen. I noticed the patterns in the format structure, and realized why the aspects are sequenced in their particular order. I know someone close to me that could really benefit from this. I will do some research into various additional aspects of personality & role modeling, and possibly add perhaps one additional question to a few. Simple yet outstanding. Thank you for this gift! I was drawn to this channel by the esoteric & demonology. But I like & subscribed because of this post. Congrats Foolish Fish, I see you are LEGIT.
This really seems more like a very colourful psychological exercise more than anything esoteric. That's why it feels so therapeutic, 'cause it does what a therapist does: Puts you in the right states of mind and then asks questions that a simple, but deviously "hard" to answer in these states of mind. This really is starting to just validate my thought that all of esoterism, philosophy, psychology, religion, yogic practices, etc. Are just the same thing, but in different languages, rituals and exercises. All try to answer the same questions and get to same places, but by different means.
Excellent, thank you FF. I've only just found you and subbed and I've watched several videos already. I came upon it quite by accident (or not). I completely agree with your remarks about so-called gurus putting their wisdom behind a pay wall. Anyone, and I mean ANYone who does that, while they're worth millions, is really not quite the ticket. So, many thanks.
My inner child piped up inside me at the supermarket today. I felt really embarrassed and vulnerable! I didn't follow along with the video this time but I'm familiar with internal family systems therapy and am currently going through a stage of examining every thought and feeling, (as much as possible,) noticing the directions my mind takes me in and picking everything apart. I didn't used to recognize soul so much but the world looks a very different experience lately. 💖👍🙏
Holy smokes that was amazing! I never gave a voice to most of those aspects and I learned which have been dominating the space in my mind! My favorite was the silent witness. I always felt its precense but for it to speak out loud was quite interesting. Thanks Danny!!
Thank you so much! I have been suffering with burn out, anxiety, depression and loss of mind. It felt so small like I was contained in a tiny box. My mind used to feel infinite and I only knew this once it had reduced to almost nothing. You helped me tap into ot again. Thank you. Thank you.
The fool is mad you didn't want to talk to him. lol. Seriously though, cool exercise. I've been studying psychology for years and only in the last couple have started getting into the esoteric side of things. I've always loved questionnaires and things that force me to learn more about myself. Getting into these states was pretty easy, with the exception of desire, which seems to be a bit low for a myriad of reasons. It's a very good exercise to vocalize these things too because it strengthens our abilities to comfortably talk to others about what are very essential human things to experience. We are all complex multidimensional experiences doing the human life thing. It's pretty neat. What's your favorite 'mode'?
Very interesting experiment. I think what surprised me the most was the chaotic and fun energy of my "skeptic", who looks happy, appreciated but rested.
It was super interesting seeing how the different parts of mind talked differently. I learned my controller felt under appreciated, which was useful to learn. As a programmer, my fixer is very happy though ^ - ^ The Vast Mind was interesting, but its the mental place I go to when I’m trying to comprehend what solutions might look like to particularly hard mathematical problems, so it felt familiar to me, which was interesting. This reminded me quite a bit of tulpa type experiences people have. I think that people create Tulpas as instances of a combinations of various minds.
I kept looking around after speaking because i felt embarrassed but that disappeared after the judging mind and when it came to the vast mind, there was a noticeable shift in tone and i answered clearly and instantly, i didn't even think about my answers, i just spoke. This is a very interesting a video! I will definitely do it again in a few days.
Thanks for this. Despite some preconceived ideas of what the responses would be once I understood the theme of the exercise, I was suprised at what came out of the various "voices" of my mind. I found some previously contemplated ideas gained new insight and clarity. There was even a bit of dialogue between the aspects which had me smiling!
An epic experiment! Thanks a million for making this. I got to address parts of my make-up and witnessed how *I* would deligate the authority of one part of my mind to another, for example: mix protection with distraction. I'll study the interplay of my mental parts to find greater understanding of myself. Thanks a million FF🙏
I really enjoyed this exercise but I felt very centered throughout all of my mental states for the most part haha. I don't know if that means I wasn't letting myself dive into the experiment or if I actually have more balance than I thought but by the end of it, I was answering questions without any thought and they seemed extremely clear and obvious. Thanks for this!
Same here i realized I’ve been working really hard to achieve inner balance and this proved it. “Everyone” felt appreciated and didn’t mind sitting back.
Woow, it Changed my life if within this few minutes. I got noticed the parts of my mind that I have now been paying attention to whn making decisions. This is deep experience. It pass meditation
@@FoolishFishBooks I really have an insight that I can take into meditation. I think it will be awesome if i will call the part of my brain responsible for what i will be meditating on in my meditation process. THANKS SO MUCH
Tremendous exercise - I had exceptional results within minutes of finishing. I walked a short distance to dispose of a bag of physical rubbish. When I walked back to my deckchair, three small feathers were perfectly aligned in front of it! I then observed other people and made a judgement on their presence. Swiftly my inner voice said "judgment". This recall & awareness continued throughout the day.
I truly want to tank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful piece of wisdom that you have share with us, with me, with everyone who care to listen. For me was a wonderful and heart worming experience that i truly enjoy and plan to share with my son, I've been following your videos, and they were interesting to me and although I'm not much into magic and some other topics you heaved touch, i consider it is vital to, truly be open minded in all matters if it is wisdom you seek, but i watch many of your videos and the biggest reason it's because i can feel, i can sense GREATLY! YOUR good intentions, your purpose, your wanting to help others and nothing more, no hidden agenda or anything crazy like that, So for that and much more i humbly thank you once again for those kinds intentions of yours tours me, us, many, and intensely wish you much: WEALTH, HEALTH, LOVE AND HAPPINESS, TWICE AS MUCH, YOU COULD EVER WISH FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED LOVE ONES, and have GREAT day, as i am.

I would also say that pausing between every question is not optional. The video goes much too fast to give you the expected effect if you just play it straight through without pausing, and you would be wasting your time.

I did not Saw this comment in time maybe ir would be a good idea to place it on too
Yes, please pin it. Thanks.
Good advice
The last two are very powerful for me. 🤯
When talking to the vast mind, the answers were immediately given in the plural.
That was very interesting.
I'm not easily spooked but when I started answering in different voices and actually feeling the shift I could feel that this is gonna stay with me for the rest of my life. So powerful
The Vast Mind is everything, ever, all together, at once. It has no start and no end. It just is.
Vast mind and Seeker reminded me something I did long years ago. My Identity, Purpose and what should I be doing . "Continue the identity you were seeking before, you already achieved, and met the real you. You just didn't show or reveal, you just buried that identity. That is why you continue to find yourself again."
My silent witness was so silent that he didn't even know he exists. We were both surprised. The last part, vast mind, caught me off guard and I just couldn't hold back my tears. Thank for this, it was a beautiful experience altogether.
Every question took so much thought except for the vast mind, where the answers "infinite" "everywhere and nowhere" "outside of time" came immediately without any thought as if they were the most obvious thing in the world
I had the same thing. Answered even before the end of the question with a kind of "obviously" disposition haha
I had the same types of answers for the vast mind. Along with it, that "voice" seemed noticeably louder to the point that I slightly jumped at the answer. A very enlightening exercise.
We are Vast Mind.
Lol my answers were literally "I don't know exactly what you mean by vast", "yes, of course", "in Daniel's head", "yes", "now", "yes", "yes", and "yes". But yeah it was way faster than any of the other answers.
Literally the same answer wth
It's absolutely stunning how fast and how clear the vast mind answered these questions. What an extraordinary experience, thank you!
I know but it doesn’t answer some question like “what should I do for work?”
@@trs_4612 who is work? Lol
Samee
And I answered it so simply. Yes, no, maybe (not so much maybe. Maybe is just an example). I am vast, but I observe, therefore I have found out time and space exist inside and outside of me, since my experience has risen from the outside, which brings upon experience on the inside.
He answered some questions in advance wasting no time to repeat it twice .
4 minutes in and this really takes the phrase "You are your own worst enemy" to a whole different level
yea, foreal, I couldn't do this exercise
The vast mind was so sure of its answers. No time needed to think, it was already a knowing.
This is also something called "IFS Therapy" or Internal family Systems Therapy.
There's a reason those other parts jump in, it's to protect you, whether you actually need protecting or not. There's also a way to handle that.... by kindly asking them if they can step aside so you can dialog with the part that's talking.
This exercise is just the tip of the iceberg in how much you can go inward and even heal physical issues controlled by those parts.
Thanks for sharing this video!!
Oh...this is what I was trying to remember in my answer to someone above. The Parts Therapy. Thanks
I was particularly moved by the silent witness, who could barely speak in a whisper and cried by the end of their questioning. When asked what they liked, they simply stated, “Trees, water, light through the leaves, and an open field.”
I basically felt like I temporarily split my personality into *some of* its many identities. Except for the vast mind. At that moment I felt as if all the other parts of me were unimportant. I basically immediately fell asleep into partial lucid dreaming. This was something different and incredible.
My vast mind answered everything so quickly and naturally without pause. It felt distant but also totally encapsulating. After the video I continued a conversation with it for a few minutes and it was truly comforting.
Thank you. I spent a enjoybable evening watching your educational videos. Your teaching style is very engaging. I have plans to watch more. I was fortunate enough to be sent a link of one of your videos. By a member in my spiritual group I run.
I gained a lot of profound insight from this therapeutic exercise. I am of now off to connect to my vast mind. Which I found out was infinite and has no boundaries. The boundaries it had. I placed on it myself. I am sure I will find more fascinating insights into my light/shadow self. I sense this excerice will be a major door opener for me to infinite knowledge and wisdom and divine connection. Just my cup of tea 🥰 Blessing 💖✨
Each part of my mind responding, invoked different feelings. I cried with sadness in the silent witness when asked how it made me feel. The vast mind felt so sure, so aware and strong. It kinda brought a feeling of calmness and complete confidence and knowing.
Thank you for this ❤️
I was looking to see if anyone else had the silent witness cry
It was tired from being hidden behind judging and skeptic's lenses and never seeing the clear truth
I also never cry and was shocked when tears started pouring out
I don't think I properly connected with the vast mind so I might try it again
Despite what the comments say, the vast mind was the hardest to do. I couldn't muster up any answer whatsoever, but with the others it was a lot easier
My silent witness and vast mind were the most intriguing of all. The silent witness seemed hurt and upset. They were tired of silently witnessing bs go down. And my vast mind....is so vast. They are infinite and everything. It was a very interesting dialogue. Thank you.
My silent witness is almost smug, nothing can hurt it, just ever present with sort of impartial observing, like a spy.
My vast mind just said "Nah I'm finite. I mean 'vast' itself describes something which is huge, but still finite, right? But for you, I might as well be infinite 'cause you'll never explore all of me."
Gave me more sass than the Judge... Kinda respect that.
@@lauraevans260 lol my judgement was smug as shit.
My Silent Witness was also hurt for me not giving it the time and appreciation it deserves. It loves when I meditate and we merge but it wanted me to do it more often. Like before. This was truly an amazing experience! Thank you.
Everywhere and Nowhere Baby, That's where I'm At!!
That's what the Vast Mind Sang and Giggled!!
Thank you so much, this is Amazing!
Namaste and Kindest Regards,
Andrea and Critter Family. XxX
when the vast mind speaks, it’s just infinite joy and excitement for me. my cup is full. it overflows. i have abundance.
Thank you for this, Denis. As I mentioned in my first comment (which I made before starting the exercise at all), my therapist and I did something similar to this called "Parts Work / Internal Family Systems", in which I spoke to parts of myself and asked them what their purpose is, if they are hiding or bullying other Parts, if they wanted a different job, etc. It felt quite silly doing it with her, but I did occasionally get some great and helpful insights from it. However, it was not linearly-arranged like this exercise is (i.e., how this exercise has us move ever further inward).
But this exercise... I knew I wanted to keep all my responses, so I decided to record my entire process. The whole thing ended up being 1.5 hours long. More impressive than the length is just how many incredible insights into myself that I got out of this short 20-minute-long video!!! (And the prompt isn't even a full 20 minutes, I think it's like 15 minutes long?) My Controller Part had some incredible self-realizations, as did my Judging Part, my Desire Part especially, and my Silent Witness.
I found it interesting that as I got ever inward, I deepened into a trance-like state, and once I reached the Silent Witness, the answers became shorter and more zen... and the answers from the Vast Mind were all one word answers.
Very cool. What a gift, thank you so much, Denis.
Do you get noticed very often? "Yes."
And how does that make you feel? "Noticed."
I’ve started asking the vast mind if I should or should not take an action if I am unsure, and each time I’ve followed it’s reply. I can only say that the vast mind isn’t just present, it’s also in the past and the future at the same time.
This has become one of the most fascinating videos that I’ve ever watched and will ever. Wow.
My judge did not like that excercise at all! The others quite enjoyed it though. Thank you, it's given me real food for thought...
Same here.
Thanks for your candour!
My judge didn't care but my protector was tense
My silent observer was terrified of being noticed.
for real lmao same here, he wasn't having it he was the least joyful one
It is clear where traditional religion stumbles upon "the kingdom of the heavens is within you". There is nothing outside of the participants (parts of mind) that project reality. We are the causes of all effects (experiences).
Excellent exercise! Great presentation!
I am tears. What an overwhelmingly powerful thing to witness. How the silent witness is so present - and how offended my judgment was. But the vast mind - just completely made me weep with remembering. Thank you (for all of your work, but this especially).
Hi Lisbeth,
I'm very moved by your words. I'm so glad you were able to follow the process through to the end and clearly experience it fully, the way it was intended. Thank you for reaching out, people like you letting me know you've benefited from these videos keeps me motivated to do more 😁
Something about a Box, the judgement mind was.
Foolish Fish I loved the excellent experience. But t I could not find the silent wittness. Unsure if it’s meaning. I guess. All others seemed to be present and understood their meaning
@@brendabejot2224 The silent witness doesn't answer except with silence, that's what I found
@@benjaminfrances same here man ...if anything seemd very amused with the whole process
@FoolishFish Thank you so much, I found the Protecting me, seemed to be the work of nearly Every part of my mind, Except for the Silent Witness & Vast Mind!
This is absolutely the Best Thing Ever for Expanding the Consciousness and I am going back to this, and also playing this to my depressed husband!!
Namaste 🙏
Andrea and Critter Family. XxX.
This experiment is worth taking the time to give it full attention. It reminds me of the inner dialogues involved in Jung's Active Imagination exercise. I found I kept forgetting to speak out loud, as I have more practise in strictly internal dialogue--no vocal component. Yet having the video to follow along with helped remind me to use my voice. Thank you for this lovely experience. I appreciate the quality of material you present in your videos.
I have never felt compelled to leave a comment on youtube; I am usually a very private person.
Just wanted to say thank you Foolish Fish, as this experiment left me with a unique impression (as compared to other elements of my practice). Never have I experienced some of the many aspects of Self come into such close, and constructive, conversation. My 'silent observer' was so deeply contented that each of these aspects were happy unto themselves while being amongst one another. Archetype has always been an abstract template used to decipher the psyche for me, and always I have dealt with each of them one-on-one. This was different, insightful, emotional, and corporeal.
In the state of the Vast Mind at the end and on after the video I experienced an energetic rush/intensification that completely lit me up, opened every pore, stood every hair of the body on-end. I can only describe as "other, but me." Somewhat ineffable. Complete ecstasy, complete stillness. Time eternal yet, singular. The gap between macrocosm and microcosm became much smaller, if only for a moment.
I apologize to anyone reading this in it's entirety. Much longer than I intended for it to be. But if anyone reading this can relate, then I suppose my words weren't in vain.
Much Love
So glad it had a good result for you! Very best wishes to you!
Like everyone seemingly most everyone else, the Vast Mind was the quickest, but the Judging Mind seemed to insist he was a king of Binah/Saturn and that the Skeptic was his servant. The Skeptic seemed particularly fond of you, for some reason. It honestly amazes me how much personality each one of them had, and how different they were from one another. This video was more helpful to me than you'll ever know. Thank you.
Amazing. I would often talk to myself, but I did not have the correct questions or way of directing the mind. This exercise has revealed an aspect and direction without confusion. This is the first time that I feel better talking to myself.
I'm ALWAYS tense, uptight, on edge, hyper vigilant, stressed. Right now, after completing the voice exercise, I feel so calm and peaceful at the moment. It's not a common feeling at all for myself and is even a little uncomfortable, even, what I'm experiencing. I can definitely listen to and complete the voice exercises daily. Especially if this is how I'm left feeling. Thank you!
It's perfect, isn't it? Good luck to you.
This is the most powerful mystical experience I've had in years!!! Foolish Fish I have no words of gratitude to you, only vast emotions of gratitude and love!
I shed no tears, but I found out that Skeptic has no role in me whatsoever, he's the dude that always slacks off and laughs at others for doing such a meticulous job, the Protector was so-so, the Judge was a fierce fella, but he cooperated, the Desire wasn't as kinky as I thought her to be, and when the Vast came - it was all so ONE, and all was simple and there. Here and there and everywhere, now and always, yes and no, no and yes and infinite * o * I am blown away, thanks again!!! I will be trying this many more times and I'm going to show it to my mystic friends, this is a must!
When I was a kid I had a jail cell in my head with all these identities locked away and just 'me' running the place. In the last few years I have relaxed that, and doing this exercise just now reminded me how many aspects of myself I have, male and female, strong and meek, forcefull and calm. When I got to the silent witness I was talking about how everyone else is happy to be moving about, but how sad I am for finally realizing I am more than I think I am on first blush. The silent witness commented a couple times on how I was crying with all these revelations of my different aspects actually loving me. Now I have even more parts of me to reconnect with. Thank you!
The vast mind seems to resonate most with my true self. The answers to the questions came almost before the question was even finished, while the constituent parts of the mind took some time to provide an answer - and even still they seemed a bit unsure as to the accuracy of the answer. The vast mind provided its answers with no question... thank you for this.
This was really a remarkable exercise. I've taken it a step further now and have begun to use this to examine and understand other parts of my personality like my sometimes agressive behavior that has caused me issues in my life. I can see using this as a great means of self-reflective therapy and ego management.
There is a psychological method called The Parts Therapy, or something. I can''t quite remember. But I bet it would turn up in a search. It's about just that - calling on all the "parts" of you and addressing issues with each part.
I've just seen below in another comment, it's called IFS - Internal Family Systems Therapy.
This is pretty much exactly what my biggest takeaway was
The controller stayed in control the whole time. I could never switch to another part of the mind no matter how hard I tried because I know who I am and I am the controller of my mind....my world....you are always in control of your own thoughts.
Watched this last night and needed time to process. I can't explain in words how powerful this experience was.
Almost all before the Silent Witness thought you were out to get them. The silent witness is so proud of and loving towards me, the Vast mind has no bounds, it is without limit in all aspects! I am amazed!
Wow, some of these where quite hard to answer without the others jumping in as I always seem to be having a hearted debate going on within my head. Thank you for sharing this, I will go through this experiment a few more times. I can see the amazing advantages of just realising that each of the parts of the mind has its place and its time and must be allowed a voice. Thank you so much, really!
Go through it a lot until you can conjure up each one at will.
100% on commodifying ideas, philosophy, and spiritual practice. I applaud you for talking about the concept by technically subverting the legalism of a ban on the use of the term but sharing the concept instead.
An idea cannot be owned. And we wonder why the realist run the world. I was told flat out in my International Relations PhD program, "welcome to the discipline. All of the interesting frameworks that are not Realism or Liberalism, forget them if you want a job." I didn't finish my dissertation. I couldn't take it.
This video gives me the proof to silent the controller and the fixer, to give rest to the tired skeptic, to thank the judging mind for good , to lighten the work of the seeker of the way, to cherish the desire and the silent witness , and most of all, to give room to the seeker of Fun to seek how fun it will be to only speak to the Vast mind 🤗😊 a Huge mega fabulous wonderful THANK you for sharing this experience with us... I will make the most of it 🙏🏼🌸and share it too. So much Joy!!! You saved my day and you may have saved my life! Who knows 😉
Thanks for the enthusiastic response! It's always nice to know when these videos of mine strike a chord! 😁
Omg!! Sharing this immediately in my tarot group. The vast mind took no thought or effort at all! Amazing!
Ah! I'm glad it worked well for you!
This one has been cropping up in my recommendations for a couple weeks and I finally went through it. Very interesting reaction when you asked the silent witness if you could speak to the vast mind. Immediate response was, "But you already are. I am the silent witness." That caught me off guard.
Fantastic exercise.
My inner skeptic thought nothing would come of this video. It doesn’t believe there is any real basis for all this “spiritual” stuff. But it’s also skeptical of the idea that we are just clouds of chemicals. Desire was interesting because I had the strongest emotional reaction to it. Overcome by it almost. The protector is the one that almost made me cry. It’s something that is so strong within me. The silent witness feels almost helpless. Like she has a burden to carry. The seeker of the way is searching for divinity. And the vast mind didn’t need time to reflect, it just knew. It answered everything all at once. This is incredible. Love this video, and your channel! ❤️
Wow, that was incredible. Amazing, how with each aspect pulled out, I actually spoke in different tones: Silent witness whispered, while Skeptic sneered and said "bullshit" a lot, Judge made me sit upright, and Desire cried at being unloved so much. Thank you so very much for this. Incredible experience.
Amazing exercise, Denis👏 I learnt that the controller is less in control than they believe, and despite their differing personalities, all aspects are doing what they feel is best for me.
What an extraordinary experience! I'm too caught up in the feeling that the top of my head's come off to offer any coherent thoughts at the moment, except to say thank you.
I'm still in that moment at the end. I haven't felt that way for a long time. Now that I'm looking around me, everything seems unimportant. This video has brought together many teachings and practices I've learned over the years - and they especially seem to have ramped up recently.
This video has been a gift.💖
I would like to write more but may in the future. What I will say briefly, is that The Vast Mind came up with the briefest (very much so!) and most profound replies.
I'm a compulsive comment reader, but will avoid that for now. I may come back to this within the next few days.
PS although it wasn't mentioned whether one should or should not do this, I left the voice recorder going while I did this exercise because I suspected it would be "a good 'un" (and I was certainly not disappointed!!!). I'm glad that I did, even though I'm not sure if I will ever read it, but I like to think I might be able to evoke the memory of this experience more distinctly if ever I do read it. But who knows, it should perhaps be one of these experiences that happens and does not happen again.
I loved how my self identity disappeared and i got spooked for a moment
This is incredible. For years I would speak aloud in my commute too work and on the way home. I could not help myself. Wondering if I had become mentally Ill ; I decide to search out what professionals say about it. The conclusion what talking you your self is the brains way of checking in on you to see if you are still there.
The years of driving the same roads day after day drug it out of me.
"To whom am I speaking?"
The Protector :(sticks chest out with arms crossed) "What do you want?"
Can I talk to other parts.
?
Idk which parts.
"What's the password?"
@@ultravioletpisces3666 You can invoke every part you can name. I don't think they are numbered. Since those "parts" are not actual splits in your personality I believe. I see them of gatherings of psychological aspects being personalized.
So if you want to question the part who likes to take a shit ask it. If you like to ask the part who hates to pay the bills ask it. The general questioning in the beginning of each part helps me to ease into it. So invoke whatever part you can come up with. But be aware that some answers you might don't want to hear.
Didn’t read any comments before the vid. Came down afterwards to see others experiences. I’m blown away that mostly everyone experienced quick and precise responses to the vast mind questions
I felt each step was peeling back another LAYER, but instead of shrinking like if one was peeling an onion, each layer seems to grow more expansive until finally the VAST MIND brought me to a feeling of immense universal introspective thought/thinking... quite remarkable. I also found that many layers or steps were similar to the previous one, but the nuance grew in magnitudes from the previous layer/step. Thank you.
I will be coming back to this again and again. Thank you.
This is basically a form of hypnosis. I'm a hypnotist and I've done basically this with other people.
yup, hypnotism for enlightenment
Yes, I have met a hypnotist and this reminded me of an exercise we did
Wow!! I just experienced a serendipity. When you were talking about who we choose to speak as, I decided on being the fixer. The fixer, those words exactly in my mind. I’m blown away. Perhaps someone is whispering in my ear? Or perhaps you think a bit like I do.
This was interesting. The skeptic had some fun with it at first, but started getting agitated by all the questions
my silent witness appreciated a lot being acknowledged, but not at all that it had to speak, thank you for this!
Wow. This feels like I was just let in on a huge, obvious, secret that I've somehow been ignorant to my whole life.
That's sweet
You forgot, is all. Now you remember.
it feels like a river opening up to an ocean at the end i am so blown away from this
This was a wonderful experience, but the last two were too abstract for me to connect to. These were such surprising, challenging questions for the parts of my mind to answer, it took about two hours. It was like each part was a fractal of the last aspect summoned forth-so well organized
I felt the same way towards the end. I was into it, but for the last three or so I felt like I was starting to give rote responses, answering the way I knew the video was prompting me to answer.
The answers/responses from almost every mind-perspective needed time and reflection. I expected my silent witness to be - well...silent. It was the most frustrated and emotional of all.
Yet Vast Mind...perfect calm. No thought needed, no upset. No second guessing. No need to "re-state" my answer. No "time" was needed. It knew and I knew...
It knew Itself. Without thought. What an amazing experience. Thank you, for offering this - deeply appreciated.
This tech has been flushed out further.
You can give permission to the body and complete tasks one thought was undoable. This is a method to overcome the mental disputes that stop us from doing things.
For instance, the artist might be to afraid to come out and art. So, it can be given permission to work uninterrupted to actually create art, instead of being paralyzed.
Great observation
I am literally sitting here thinking what to do with the 90% finished illustration that should have been finished months ago and couldnt make myself do the other 10% to reach the “finish line”. Oy vey
"This tech has been flushed out further." What should I google to learn more? Big Mind?
As someone who has never felt "artistic" but always wanted to do art, I really appreciate your comment! I'm now off to see if someone has made a step-by-step version of this exercise for that problem -- and if not, I will try to think of how to tweak it myself.
Thank you for the idea!!! 😊
Very instructive exercise. I hadn’t realized how strong and rather abusive the controller was. The Judgmental mind was also strong. I think I want to explore further. Thank you for bringing this interesting method of self exploration to light
The Vast mind kept saying, it just is.
"When are you? " it said, Present.
Almost one word replies consisting of so much wisdom that I felt I've gained in meditation.
Skeptic was baffled but he "played" along
Controller was aware he wasn't wanted always.
I had a similar experience. My desire got irritated. He almost views the physical being as infantile and he needs guidance which is where they step in...
@@j.e.o2060 my desire was expectedly very sexual.
Tingles all over me, spooky and trance like by the end. Ultimately a feeling of empowerment and wonder.. So many things to say. I hope people don't read the comments first. I didn't and I took maybe 45 + minutes over this. Thank you so much
It’s amazing how fast the vast mind answered without having to think. It kind of made me want to trade in the rest of my mind and just call myself Vast. Where’s the video on that?
I didn’t have to pause the video; the answers just came very quickly, which surprised me. It is a great magickal exercise.
Thank you for this! I can definitely see this working with clients especially after an hypnosis induction, few sentences would have to be tweaked to maximise the desired effect but it’s a fantastic tool . And I agree with you, copyrighting self help ( or self transforming) techniques is not the most effective way to go about it. Thanks again for sharing this.
This was just...wow. Thanks a lot...and I don't know whether it's bad or not...I'm currently thinking like I'm some sort of god. I like this state of mind. I'm fearless and feeling like I can achieve everything I want to. Thanks again. The whole "know yourself" concept just found a new meaning to me.
I got multiple chills after every answer the vast mind said. This was a truly beautiful experiment.
Thank you. For one reason or another, I was shown this at the perfect time. Thank you for the clarity, I will be donating
Hi Psionic! I'm so glad you found this one helpful! 🙏
My silent witness was sad, my voice trembled at the main question....my vast mind knew it is infinite with 600% confidence. Thanks for sharing
This is one of the most interesting and potentially therapeutic mental exercises I’ve ever seen. I noticed the patterns in the format structure, and realized why the aspects are sequenced in their particular order. I know someone close to me that could really benefit from this. I will do some research into various additional aspects of personality & role modeling, and possibly add perhaps one additional question to a few. Simple yet outstanding. Thank you for this gift!
I was drawn to this channel by the esoteric & demonology. But I like & subscribed because of this post.
Congrats Foolish Fish, I see you are LEGIT.
This really seems more like a very colourful psychological exercise more than anything esoteric.
That's why it feels so therapeutic, 'cause it does what a therapist does: Puts you in the right states of mind and then asks questions that a simple, but deviously "hard" to answer in these states of mind.
This really is starting to just validate my thought that all of esoterism, philosophy, psychology, religion, yogic practices, etc. Are just the same thing, but in different languages, rituals and exercises. All try to answer the same questions and get to same places, but by different means.
Excellent, thank you FF. I've only just found you and subbed and I've watched several videos already. I came upon it quite by accident (or not). I completely agree with your remarks about so-called gurus putting their wisdom behind a pay wall. Anyone, and I mean ANYone who does that, while they're worth millions, is really not quite the ticket. So, many thanks.
This is very good , I feel like the guy from ‘Split’ now tho 😬 Very good though and 🙏 thank you
Me toooooo! Even my voice changed in parts.i would change in sitting position etc on entry of a side.... amazing experience
My inner child piped up inside me at the supermarket today. I felt really embarrassed and vulnerable! I didn't follow along with the video this time but I'm familiar with internal family systems therapy and am currently going through a stage of examining every thought and feeling, (as much as possible,) noticing the directions my mind takes me in and picking everything apart. I didn't used to recognize soul so much but the world looks a very different experience lately. 💖👍🙏
Holy smokes that was amazing! I never gave a voice to most of those aspects and I learned which have been dominating the space in my mind! My favorite was the silent witness. I always felt its precense but for it to speak out loud was quite interesting. Thanks Danny!!
Thank you so much! I have been suffering with burn out, anxiety, depression and loss of mind. It felt so small like I was contained in a tiny box. My mind used to feel infinite and I only knew this once it had reduced to almost nothing. You helped me tap into ot again. Thank you. Thank you.
The fool is mad you didn't want to talk to him. lol. Seriously though, cool exercise. I've been studying psychology for years and only in the last couple have started getting into the esoteric side of things. I've always loved questionnaires and things that force me to learn more about myself. Getting into these states was pretty easy, with the exception of desire, which seems to be a bit low for a myriad of reasons. It's a very good exercise to vocalize these things too because it strengthens our abilities to comfortably talk to others about what are very essential human things to experience. We are all complex multidimensional experiences doing the human life thing. It's pretty neat. What's your favorite 'mode'?
Silent witness mode!
the fool is the truth seeker haha
The vast mind was excited to be asked these question they never questioned before. It was fun to ponder
I've been searching for an experience like this. Thank you, it was so helpful!
Woah. So grateful I came across this video and THANK YOU for ending on vast mind. Its a powerful feeling.
I cried at the Silent Witness.
Very interesting experiment. I think what surprised me the most was the chaotic and fun energy of my "skeptic", who looks happy, appreciated but rested.
It was super interesting seeing how the different parts of mind talked differently.
I learned my controller felt under appreciated, which was useful to learn. As a programmer, my fixer is very happy though ^ - ^
The Vast Mind was interesting, but its the mental place I go to when I’m trying to comprehend what solutions might look like to particularly hard mathematical problems, so it felt familiar to me, which was interesting.
This reminded me quite a bit of tulpa type experiences people have. I think that people create Tulpas as instances of a combinations of various minds.
I kept looking around after speaking because i felt embarrassed but that disappeared after the judging mind and when it came to the vast mind, there was a noticeable shift in tone and i answered clearly and instantly, i didn't even think about my answers, i just spoke. This is a very interesting a video! I will definitely do it again in a few days.
Thanks for this. Despite some preconceived ideas of what the responses would be once I understood the theme of the exercise, I was suprised at what came out of the various "voices" of my mind. I found some previously contemplated ideas gained new insight and clarity. There was even a bit of dialogue between the aspects which had me smiling!
An epic experiment! Thanks a million for making this. I got to address parts of my make-up and witnessed how *I* would deligate the authority of one part of my mind to another, for example: mix protection with distraction. I'll study the interplay of my mental parts to find greater understanding of myself. Thanks a million FF🙏
So glad it worked out for you! :)
I really enjoyed this exercise but I felt very centered throughout all of my mental states for the most part haha. I don't know if that means I wasn't letting myself dive into the experiment or if I actually have more balance than I thought but by the end of it, I was answering questions without any thought and they seemed extremely clear and obvious. Thanks for this!
Same here i realized I’ve been working really hard to achieve inner balance and this proved it. “Everyone” felt appreciated and didn’t mind sitting back.
I did too, I felt like it was "me" answering all the time, is that how you felt?
@@pauldolton9118 I answered with us but yes, it felt very singular and unified throughout.
Each answered individually but all felt that they worked together well and that they all needed each other. I really enjoyed it
I'm a new patron and I just want to say I love your channel! Thank you for what you do.
Thank you very much, Mark, i really appreciate the support! 😄🙏
Really interesting experience! I'm going to have to do it a few more times.
Brilliant video. 10 out of 10. I have decided to share this with a few people. I think it will really help whether they believe in magic or not.
And what do you like? "nothing"
And how often does that happen? "never"
Me too what do you like... idk how often... everyday!
same answers
Yes, I was in tears at the answers the vast mind gave. Amazing. So natural and easy.
Woow, it Changed my life if within this few minutes. I got noticed the parts of my mind that I have now been paying attention to whn making decisions.
This is deep experience. It pass meditation
@@FoolishFishBooks I really have an insight that I can take into meditation.
I think it will be awesome if i will call the part of my brain responsible for what i will be meditating on in my meditation process.
THANKS SO MUCH
really? thats interesting i gotta try this
Tremendous exercise - I had exceptional results within minutes of finishing. I walked a short distance to dispose of a bag of physical rubbish. When I walked back to my deckchair, three small feathers were perfectly aligned in front of it! I then observed other people and made a judgement on their presence. Swiftly my inner voice said "judgment". This recall & awareness continued throughout the day.
My fun seeker loved this. The judge cried
My judge felt bad..I saw my mothers face as soon as he said judge
Sadly my fun seeker has a hard time
@@ali-mc4zb same! I think I finally understand my mom now 🤣
I truly want to tank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful piece of wisdom that you have share with us, with me, with everyone who care to listen.
For me was a wonderful and heart worming experience that i truly enjoy and plan to share with my son, I've been following your videos, and they were interesting to me and although I'm not much into magic and some other topics you heaved touch, i consider it is vital to, truly be open minded in all matters if it is wisdom you seek, but i watch many of your videos and the biggest reason it's because i can feel, i can sense GREATLY! YOUR good intentions, your purpose, your wanting to help others and nothing more, no hidden agenda or anything crazy like that,
So for that and much more i humbly thank you once again for those kinds intentions of yours tours me, us, many, and intensely wish you much:
WEALTH, HEALTH, LOVE AND HAPPINESS, TWICE AS MUCH, YOU COULD EVER WISH FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED LOVE ONES, and have GREAT day, as i am.
