Wow! I'm starting to see it. Just yesterday I was trying to tell my sister that I learned that human souls and animal souls don't reincarnate into each other and it wasn't very well received and I was just going to ask you why do so many Buddhist teachers teach that if you do bad things you can reincarnate into an animal to work off your karma before you can become enlightened. And here is your video explaining what to do when someone insists on their beliefs. And this video is such a great lesson on humility and the ego that I struggle with, and now I see better what I need to work on and why some things keep recurring in my life as a hardship...something as simple as washing dishes lol. I can see now that it is my ego complaining that it's not fair or my ego being lazy and not taking into consideration how much anxiety it is causing others to see a sink full of dishes even though they have the capability of washing the dishes themselves, but they have a mental disability that prevents them from doing dishes, whereas for me, it's just my ego being lazy and inconsiderate. So now I understand more what part is my ego and when it's trying to control me. And the lessons on humility and sincerity are exactly what I needed to learn. I can see how the divine put this video in my feeds just when I have questions about it.
It's so crazy you told the story about your teacher being humble. The reason i say that is I feel the same way about you and I was thinking that exact thing when i started the video. You are very humble, down to earth, and it comes across just how much you truly want to help others. This is such a breath of fresh air when compared to all these other con men pretending that they want to help when all they really want is money from you.❤🙏
I have become a teacher by default but I only teach what I know through my understanding which is constantly changing, also I share whatever new information I receive because it is not mine to hold, I want them to find and walk their truth, so thanks I can relate to all you have said.
Perhaps the most profound thing I have learned from my time with the Inner Journey School is to live, breathe and think in this way. Thank you Ben for everything you do 💛🙏
Whatever things we are doing is of service to the Divine. It is only the ego that labels it to be good or bad... We only experience our own consciousness...
Offering back to the universe is sooooo resonating and right for me. Another spiritual teacher also teach me to offer the meal before eating. And your saying has taken this practice to a higher level: offer everything back to the universe, not only food.💖 Thank you🙏🏻🌹
I've been adapting this type of mindset into my life for the past year, and recently every positive experience I have even if my ego believes it was me that earned it rightfully, I acknowledge that it was given to me by the universe, and I always thank it for allowing me to have come out of the toxic life I used to live. Thank you for making it simple in your videos, your concepts help me feel what I've been feeling in my own life and put it into words that I can then help others with. But I do want to also channel the energy of the universe, since like you said it knows what people need to hear and experience, including myself. I will be sure to offer anything I achieve back to the divine powers it came from, I wish I could send it back as much love as it has for me. This world is in a difficult time and we have a lot to figure out as a people still, but knowing the true power we have to shape the world around us in a positive way is truly the hope I need. Anyways, thanks again for your video, and I send everyone my love and support!
Fantastic, now I know went wrong, as initialy I did everything you said, and then one day everything changed the reason is because I didnt give it all back it became about me and mine ha,ha, ha wonderful! because when you do this the😄 inner experience sky rockets at least it did for me. Thanks to the Divine working through you, this has helped so much, you have no idea, Ha, ha, ha ! 😃😃😃
Thanks Ben, I really like the idea of offering back to the Divine. A very practical but powerful way of remembering our true essence and unity with all. 🙏
I think I kind of understand what an instrument of the divine is, like I’ve read the flat pack manual a dozen times but I think humility is a big hurdle for me. I know, if I’m honest with myself, that turning the other cheek is difficult for me. I can easily say I would but in the moment, in real time, I know I would rationalise with “let me win this situation and I’ll be better next time”. This video really helped. I know you’re not asking for it but thank you 🙏
I'm so glad that other people are on this same wavelength! I am always asking this question of how to be a clearer instrument for the divine to work through. As a massage therapist, my primary goal is to help people heal. I find that the clearer I am, the more that I can help.
Thank you so much, you are doing very good thing. My medication teacher is doing the same. She told us her spiritual journey and she is doing the same way. She finds her way through devin guidance.
This was amazing. It's absolutely what I needed to hear today. I felt I have done alot of work on having the right intentions and making the necessary changes recently to be able to start helping others, especially as that has been my guidance. However watching this was so eye opening about truely understanding Humility and showing it to the Divine and actually how much I am still using the 'I' mentality. I've journalled this straight away and will be making more changes right away. Thankyou for your time and dedication to being a channel Ben and thankyou to the Divine for supporting and guiding us and showing us how to be our best, truest selves in order to radiate love, light and... humility in his world that is in a true reflection or our creator ❤
Hi, great video but i would like your guidance on "negativity" blasted by the traditional media and how to not let it affect. I am an empath and all the pain and suffering get to me sometimes. Thanks
Easiest way not to be effected negatively by something is to avoid it, distance one’s self from it or limit exposure. I doubt you would willingly continue to drink, eat or breathe in something that you know effects the body negatively. So why make an exception here? Only you can answer that but take into consideration that everything that enters into the body whether it be in physical form or mental such as video and audio in your case has the potential to be absorbed and effect the body in a positive or negative way. As a side note going by my observations empaths seem to be somewhat drawn to the negative. Not because they enjoy it but perhaps it is because they possess the ability to absorb negative energies and convert and send them back as positive to help uplift others. If that is the case perhaps media bothers you because that process cannot occur. Or another way to put it, you’re being blasted with nonstop negativity without the option to change it which is placing roadblocks on your life path or as he states to your campsite. So as guidance I suggest you try a test path for at least a week that contains little to no “traditional media”. Use that time to learn more about techniques such as grounding, meditation and others to help offload the negative. After a week or 2 observe how you feel. Or don’t, it’s your choice, good luck either way.
Thank you for this. Ive been stumbling around, failing in my work because I was... too involved. I was working so *I* could get more knowledge, so that *I* could become a more powerful, more efficient healer and teacher... and it's left me neither. The problem, of course, is that I all ready KNOW everything you presented here, but *I* was to involved.. Thank you for the conduit i needed when i was ready for it.
Ben, how can I contact you directly? I want to ask you about the first time I meditated 50 years ago and had the most terrifying experience of my life. It has puzzled me ever since then, but I can’t seem to find the answer. Thank you.
Hi. Im New on your Chanell and i have a question. Sorry for my english but my native language is polish. Whateveer So what if i dont wanna be an instrument of divine? Ok i can meditate, i can do all spiritual things and i dont wanna teach people. So... For what i meditate for example? What about "3d"world? Ok i fell that spiritual journey is good for me but i dont wanna only meditate etc etc (i have baby, work etc ) Maybe on the other side- i dont want to be an instrument of divine (example - teacher), i want to live Best live. I like spiritual journey but i have family and i dont know what should i do with live like "3d"- can i live my Best live? Ask Divine For everything? Feel good that i live more in 3d or not?
Hello. Sure, you can do whatever you want with your free will. When I say “be an instrument for the Divine” - I used the example of being a teacher, but this doesn’t need to be the case to benefit from aligning with the Divine. Being an instrument for the Divine really means allowing the Divine to guide your life. Allowing it to steer you through decisions, allow it to help you to stay connected etc. it doesn’t just mean to help others 🙏
You’re not omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent right now are you? Yes, on the absolute level, we are all Divine, but we’re not experiencing ourselves at that level yet. We are experiencing ourselves at a human level of consciousness. Therefore the need to be an instrument to the Divine is necessary.
@@bensmithreal as an instrument, we are to be of service to others (pay it forward) act of love, oneness in the presence. In the beginning the word became flesh and dwelt in us.... us is the divine nature of the universe where flesh dwells within it... we are the divine nature of it all, expanding and evolving into everything all at once.... that will never change. ❤
@@bensmithreal i'm not sure, but i feel a resistance when i think about this. It might be the fear of loosing control or myself. Although i know that both are illusions and i'm a part of the devine. But maybe it's the fear of something unknown.
@@bensmithrealI come back to this comment, because I came across this topic a second time. I watched a video from Mary Reed ( The Trajectory of Separation and Awakening). She is a mystic and explained that fear want's to be united but due to it's nature it can't. She also asked the question: "are you willing to be a presence of love in the world no matter what". And I commented that this scares me. Her answer was to love my own fear and try to think of them like small children and imagine holding and adoring them just as they are. This helped me a lot. I got much calmer in general.

Same, friend. I was likewise thinking that when the video started ❤
💯agree
"offer it back to the universe" - my golden nugget of this. Thank you! ♡
You are the best teacher.
I have become a teacher by default but I only teach what I know through my understanding which is constantly changing, also I share whatever new information I receive because it is not mine to hold, I want them to find and walk their truth, so thanks I can relate to all you have said.

It was a very important point, I needed this video so much, thank you🙏
I've been asking lately: to give this being the strength to do the right thing.
But forget to thank!
Thank you for your video 🙏

As the other comment says - avoid it; cut it out. Delete the social media accounts that push it in your face. Take massive action 🙏

Thank you for the conduit i needed when i was ready for it.
When you ask the divine for help to make decisions, how do you know what is actually divine and not your fear or ego?
Who is the male embodiment of the divine you mentioned here?
Ben, how can I contact you directly? I want to ask you about the first time I meditated 50 years ago and had the most terrifying experience of my life. It has puzzled me ever since then, but I can’t seem to find the answer. Thank you.
