    As Morpheus is explaining to Neo what the matrix is he makes a statement that really gets my attention because of a the word he uses called inured. He’s telling Neo that many people don’t want to wake up and that those are the ones that are considered a threat, he says “ many of them are so inured and so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it. Some people love the lie so much they will kill you to protect it.

      Absolutely. That statement in the movie instantly made me think of quite a few people in my life at the time who rather continue suffering from what they are inured to than facing the unknown freedom. Almost like animals that won´t leave their fenced in area even though the fence has been removed.

    I’ve been listening to your channel for quite some time now, and I just had an epiphany. All my life I’ve been asking God to show me the way. I knew I couldn’t find it just in the Bible or other books that are written. The reason I couldn’t find it in them is because the answers live within me. I choose my own happiness. Thank you so much Aaron for helping me to learn this truth

      well, technically.... imho, religious books, like the Bible, are just guide posts. And most messages have inner meaning that can only be gleamed with a higher perspective. The real experience is looking within one's self. PeaceV

    I think when we are going through a spiritual awakening we are able to experience life differently, it's like living in slow motion, we get to feel more deeply... I think our level of consciousness is higher and we also feel that we can't fit in, people might not be able to understand us, but we are detaching from our ego and we are able to understand everyone, have compassion...

      I as well was very confused for a while earlier this year but remember, this idea of when God becomes lucid in another form can really happen at any point in your spiritual journey/work. If you’re still alive the whole universe is dependent on every function your body is interacting and sharing with that eternal energy and to completely allow and calmly observe whatever appears and happens within your awareness is conscious experience, and your body will do as it does before, during, and after your awakening.

    • @rdh53
      @rdh53 5 лет назад +3

      Yes Daniel. There is a basic human need to relate to others, share experiences and receive affirmation. Once you have an awakening you have advanced to a place from which you cannot return. Not unlike going through puberty, interests, desires, perceptions, and emotions change. “When I was a child,, I behaved as a child, I reasoned as a child, I spoke as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” My family accepts me in a polite condescending way but there is no genuine attempt to understand.me. The frustration is in part the inability to share this wonderful awareness with people who cannot appreciate it. The gift/truth/awareness was given to YOU.

    This is a big point you make. I figured out, after repetitive positive affirmation self hypnosis sessions (months), that I needed to forgive myself for being imperfect. Having imperfect feelings, making mistakes, screwing up, I mean, whatever it was, I would beat myself up over it. And this script we play in our minds is so automatic, so subconscious, we don't even hear it or identify it and we let it just screw everything up... even our perspectives of ourselves. I knew God forgave me, but God forgives easily. God loves everyone, that's easy. But, the key is forgiving ourselves. Accepting ourselves. Loving ourselves. Letting go of resentment, guilt, blame, and doubt. Becoming our own best friend. Self care. And when we do this, we open ourselves up to the real love that's right in front of us and all around us. It was my awakening out of a severe depression.

    Oh man. Spiritual awakening is like drinking Smooth Move tea...there is nothing smooth about it. I am literally just coming out of a Dark Night and am grateful to be guided to this channel. I have been studying this stuff for the past 2 years (literally all day long) trying to figure all this out, not sure how I'm just finding this channel now. In spring 2015 I apparently initiated my awakening (I hadn't ever heard the concept of awakening at that point in my life) by stating to "whatever was out there" that there must be True Love in the world and I admitted I wanted to experience it (in relationship). My life experience caused me to have no trust in men or relationships (father and childhood issues) so I chose a career that was uninspiring to me but would ensure my security and wouldn't have to rely on anyone, ever, and played in bands to puff up my ego. It was lonely and a facade which I didn't even realize until my awakening. I didn't know what I didn't know. Wow, what a freaking wake up call. Since then I have been broken down, broken open, lost all my identities, lost my family connection. You can't go back. Ever. And I have been blessed with the truth that True Love is the love of our Universe which permeates everything infinitely. I'm learning to love myself (reprogramming old negative beliefs), my authenticity and my truth, unconditionally and extend that out. I just recently have been coming out of my shell as the new me. Aaron, much gratitude for finding you and this channel. Blessings and light. xo

    In my experience- after getting past the codependency issues in ref to romantic relationships.... it can come out in other areas of life also. Example - job loss or loss of money 💴, home 🏡, car 🚗, external material type things .
    The ego reers it’s ugly head once again.
    Then the process starts once again. Not basing self worth or acceptance on these external type things.
    Whether it’s relationship, any other external things also ( material things ), status - job titles etc. such a process to learn not to attach self love or self worth based on anything external or outside of ourselves is key.
    It does remind me of addiction process. Lol 😂
    You detach from unhealthy attachments in ref to relationship .
    Then the ego def tries to fill void with the next external attachment ( money, material things, status , title , physical body image , etc etc ). This has been my personal experience at least. 😇

    One of the most important things I ever realized was that the mind has alot to say, but that doesn't mean all of it's useful or worth listening to. It's always running a tape in the background, especially if you never meditated, you tend to have your own background track for life that's often very harmful - that whole subconsciously programmed litany of 'not good enough' etc. But you don't have to listen to what it has to say, in fact you can shut it up at any time, or cut it off mid-sentence and direct it to focus on something else. The true you is behind the mental chatter and able to direct it's attention if you practice. And it's such a relief when you stop the background track or reprogram it to say good things. If you carry around your own worst enemy in your head and believe everything it says, you're really going to struggle. Make the voice your friend and teach it to be still, then you can move forward with more freedom. At least, that has been part of my own journey. :)

    You talked about the blissed out state after your spiritual awakening. I also had that and as Jim Carrey once said, I’ve been trying to get back to that every single day. My bliss went away and now I feel as if I have taken all my understandings from it and folded them into myself, like mixing some ingredients to make dough, then kneading the dough over and over and mixing my new beliefs into my life. I hope my bread comes out of the oven OK!

    I went through the healing
    co-dependency in ref to relationships in my 20s for the most part ( intellectually ) at least. Took practice through experience ( was a process ).
    I too realized it’s more than just knowing it all intellectually. It’s a practice of Self Love / Self Care consistently that truly helps heal.
    It’s lack of self love, self care, self worth ( not feeling enough - good enough just merely for “ being “) that causes or is root cause of void inside that manifests or acts out as codependency personality . At least this is my personal viewpoint from my own personal experience. 🤗

    I had an awakening experience exactly like Aaron's. I was listening to eckhart tolle and I had a shift then bliss came pouring in. That day I broke it off with my girlfriend at the time and she lost it. She attempted suicide then I ended up getting back with her out of guilt. I got even more depressed. one night I packed my bags in the middle of the night and left town never to return. That was 11 years ago this week. I Never quite got back to the bliss experience.

    The guilt games played by the ego are the biggest obstacle to our learning to love ourselves. In my case the more I tried to please others by working to do all the "right" things the more guilty I became, the more of a loser I perceived myself to be. Self-love is an inside job. Trying to find it in others is essentially an impossible task. Choosing to love and show compassion to ourselves is our job. For this is the only genuine or authentic love we can project. All else is co-dependency. You are looking for yourself in the other. More than likely, at this stage, the one you see as the other is you. The perception that there is someone other than you is the greatest of illusions and the most difficult to overcome. In reality there is always just the ONE!

    I want to share this with you and anybody else who reads it. The first time after my spiritual Awakening it not sure if it was a lucid dream or astral projection but I didn't want to leave because I love me so much I couldn't leave my body and all I felt was unconditional love for me...

    I removed fear from my life and sought truth and understanding in spirit. I love completely service of others and service of self in balance of my masculine and feminine qualities. I take the higher path in love and I lost my ego long ago. My life is about showing others the way to loving yourself and replying on yourself so you can then love and help others. We must be free of guilt and shame and live and love automatically and perceive ourselves as the everyone else.

    Thank you again for ‘simple’ explanations of the ego and how it fundamentally works! You have an innate ability for sharing this information that is so practical and easy to understand without any load of confusing spirituality. I have been a seeker for many years and your videos help prevent my ego from taking the back door ‘in’ which has been a huge issue.

    Aaron, this is one of your most touching videos. Your description of your initial awakening and then the ensuing stages you went through is a more accurate version than that which we‘re commonly led to believe. The “pink cloud” as they call it in AA, is the euphoria everyone desires but the true journey of discovery is a huge part of it and often extremely painful and confusing. We rarely ever get a peek into both sides of the coin..Thank you for your truthfulness and vulnerability. Namasté, my friend. 🙏🏾❤️

    This is True. It can be especially hard for those who may have been heavily medicated since childhood. In personal experience, It has made waking up quite painful, not that it isn't painful already. Freedom from these Medications has been a volatile chain breaking, but still was able to break the chains. Those who sting the most need the most soothing sometimes. Aaron is a wise beautiful soul for sure .This guy knows what's up.

    realization of being guilty for everything make me even more guilty because I'm guilty of everything in my life...its like a never ending circle. I'm guilty because I did not amount to my parents expectations and I need help in freeing myself from that. I feel like a liability. I had a drug problem in the best and depression that I masked with drugs and then became an addict. After ending up in an ER and relapses on drugs I decided to quit every drug and became sober. I'm guilty and shameful of the wasted time and my drug use that made me who I am today.
    I relate so much from this video. Thank you for putting out content like this. I'm not alone.

    Had similar awakening. I thought that was gonna be my life from now on too.. but I soon realized that life went on too and everything came up.. oh it hurtttt. I’m a year and half in from mine.. I’m almost debt free.. and starting to form the life I want not what others wanted for me.. I worried for almost a year I was crazy yet I got so much done and fixed things I felt needed fixed immediately.. biggest thing I learned I was too hard on myself. Deep down I knew it. I came off adhd meds and antidepressants too. It was beautiful in the beginning.. then really hard. But I’m balancing out slowly but surely. Still wouldn’t trade that love and connection I felt tho at all. I still have visions and see auras.

  • @thestocknurse

    Your story is identical to mine Aaron. It’s like we are living parallel lives. I used to climb out the window at night and get on the roof of my rental house in the city and hang out by myself and be totally pissed at the process... after Narcissistic abuse. No friends, no family. I worked hard during the day at my Executive job and did IBFF training in the evening. I never felt good enough. No matter how good my body looked, it wasn’t good enough. I did petite modeling. Weight lifting is still my touch stone, but that’s an Aries essential...gotta burn the excess energy we were blessed with :). Being gutted from the inside out with an abusive relationship was like handing someone the keys to my soul. Abusive people have a way of fracturing the soul. It takes time to heal from a core wound like that. I then went into hermit mode for a long time with my suffering...and the gifts came when I learned to embrace the pain and brokenness, then I learned to lean into it, instead of running from it. Love hearing your story....

Finding myself journey is quite amazing and yet super thin ice I feel I am walking on. I feel so lucky i manifested you in my life so I will take this as a guidance system.

    Hey Aaron,
    I've been following your channel for a bit and i love your content. it's helped me in many parts of my life. So firstly, thank you for making these videos and putting them out there because they reach and help a lot of people.
    your videos generally talk a lot about concepts and i love that, but i loved how you opened up about your life and it helped me relate and understand the concepts more and how they actually look like when they're happening to real people in in real life.
    you seem very confident and self assured and you seem like you have it all figured out. i loved how you shared the thing about your previous relationship and the codependency ( i'm currently in a similar situation and i'm very hard on myself for not being able to let go yet) because it helped me see that, through out the spiritual awakening process, things aren't perfect and you have ups and downs and good and bad. even though i knew that in theory, it was nice that you talked about it.
    And also how you talked about your family and how sharing your system of belief and what that experience was like for you. I have a very religious family and i don't in that aspect with them but i keep up a pretense that i'm like them and share in their beliefs because i'm so afraid of being shunned or cut off or whatever else may happen if i let them see me for who i truly am. And i am a big family person too, but because of this facade i always put up, i don't truly get to connect with the people i love so much.
    i love the way you make your videos though. they're always well explained and easy to understand. I just wanted to say that i hope you'll continue to share your personal experiences as you keep making more content in the future because it makes your content a bit easier to understand and make use of.
