@bensmithreal ….but as we are duality; ‘I am my higher self’ ~ we are, in our entirety an extension of the divine (and as Jesus pointed out we are all ‘Christed’ beings)…if someone has achieved their dream of financial freedom, then they did do it. No? Sure, they didn’t do it without help from their divinity (don’t let the ego run away with itself) but they still achieved it. We are not separate from the divine and The Divine achieved its goal.
I stared meditating 2 years ago when I was 58;years old. It has helped me to find that I’m a spiritual being I was also an atheist all my life I’m now a spiritual being enjoying a human experience. I try to serve others because I believe if I’m helping people I’m helping myself also. I don’t always get it right but I try to stay silent and allow people to be themselves. Thank you
I was meditating in nature few years ago and suddenly expanded and left my body to encompass the entire small river valley where I was. It was blissful and had tears of joy running down my face and electric charge running up and down my spine when I returned to my body ❤🎉
I like how you made the distinction between the "We exist only with and within the body and we are nothing without it" and "We are more than just this body and are only living within it for a relatively short period of time", and how meditation takes us out of this role of the body and into the bigger picture.
I've been an avid daily meditator for a few years now and it changed my life dramatically, for the better. I've always struggled to explain in words how it changed my life, or what happened, and have never been able to do so. You explained it perfectly and now I know the words to describe what meditation is and does. I am extremely grateful to you.
I have watched a few of your videos before, but this one had more education that resonated with me than any of the others. It’s as though everything just clicked in my mind and in my soul, listening to this. Our job is just to show up and let the divine do all the work. Just brilliant. This will help me greatly as a novice meditator. That said, the knowledge gained from this will make me more in tune with why I show up. Thank you again so very much! You are a beautiful human. Kind, nurturing, there for people. 💜
Ben !! I am so grateful for your videos and knowledge!! Your existence has helped me through tough times in my life. I am thankful that you share your wisdom and bring clarity to the world!!!!!!!
This was such a spirited earthly approach showered by Divine light. Thank you so much for sharing whatever wisdom you have acquired from merely showing up, as you beautifully phrased it, in your meditations. Part 2 would certainly be most welcome!
The Divine is with us in everything we do and achieve. It goes far beyond meditation and applies to ALL we do in the outer world, as well as the inner world. It may seem as if it is our hands and our minds doing, but it is the Divine moving through us. In my experience, we are here WITH, BY, FOR and OF the Divine.
Fear is crippling my life to take any action.What does that mean? Do nothing ? Believe in him and do nothing thinking that he will put desires into my head and mje me move forward.Tell me,I don't have to worry? Don't have to take any action? Pls reply...just tell me ...if I can sleep and do nothing ?
The last time I saw a video of yours, I didn't know what Skool was. I saw what I thought to be you on there, then I see your vid. Synchronicty is starting to make me reel in joy. I'm only just starting to meditste without it being guided.
Beautiful explanation. If you say this while you are in that meditative state (without any identification), the impact would be so much bigger. Then you touch the hearts. I hope that with this explanation, you solve blocks in the minds of many. Thanks.
Thank you Ben. Yes would appreciate deeper explanation also for me knowing more about Devotion to the Divine and where to seek good guidance with that.
SIMPLE TRUTH told while holding a little bunny tail! (we HAVE to bring some humor into our experience) THANK YOU to the essence aka my brother who calls himself Ben!!! 💜
I completely agree with you. But however its hard to explain to someone "outside". They will say "yes its probably not my body doing this (e.g. becoming financially successfull) but it was my brain".. And they also say "I am the sum of all my body functions, sence perceptions and all past experience", and how to argue against this? How to make clear, the "I" is just an illusion. Great video by the way! Thank you 🙏
Finally the true explanation. This makes the most sense I've ever heard with meditation. I feel liek this has just unlocked my journey to disconnect from body and connect with I AM. Thank you so much
I’m glad there are guys like you offering and teaching meditation i’ve seen few of your videos over last few days and i’m impressed and clearly you have good experience as well and aren’t just a dry land swimmer. Meditation can be pretty dangerous. Walking the spiritual path though as many amazing rewards and inrich ones life in many profound ways it also can have its dark and scary moments and needs experience guidance. 🙏
Thank you Ben for your wonderful insight and explanation. Of course it resonated completely and I look forward to exploring your channel some more. New sub. Thank you and God bless! ♥️🙏🏼
Thank you so much. What a wonderfully helpful explanation, like finding the missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle. Look forward to listening again and again. 🙏
Wonderful explanation. I really appreciated your video. I choose my subscriptions carefully and your video has 100% grabbed my attention. Subscribed! Bless you.
I loved this talk, most incredible explanation of a few things I have ever encountered. Part 2 deep dive for sure. Off to subscribe. Thank you, from Australia 🇦🇺
thank you brother, loved this video and the way of which you described it. a very similar concept to how I describe the human experience to others, although I’m not yet at the stage of pinning down a solid meditation routine which works for me. I spend much of my life very present and connected to the breath, am an active journalist, but not yet in a solid routine.. I will start being more consistent with it - I feel it is a vital component to the human experience and in receiving downloads from the higher self etc
1 had one out of body experience and it scared me. I was like I not doing this again....But now that I relaxed and understand more...I kinda want it to happen again just so I can understand it better.
I don’t meditate, but every night in bed I feel the breathing and the heaving and then I see the lights. Little pixels, thousands. Then other stuff. Is this common? I just thought everyone saw what I see. Not so sure anymore. Yes please continue with what to expect as one breathing. I would like to know if I’m normal. I have a person in my life that tells me I’m not normal. But I think I am, mostly. Finding out the truth of me would be.. What’s the right word: wonderful!
Hi Joe! Thanks for sharing. I think part of this illusion that was so beautifully described by Ben is that there IS a “normal”. We are just all having our own, beautifully unique experience which contains ANOTHER illusion - that we are to compare our experience to another’s experience as a gauge. Don’t do it! Be your own, beautiful expression and experience and you will also begin to know what peace is!

You’re absolutely on the right track🤍
I was meditating in nature few years ago and suddenly expanded and left my body to encompass the entire small river valley where I was. It was blissful and had tears of joy running down my face and electric charge running up and down my spine when I returned to my body ❤🎉
Haven't I seen your comment on this video before?
How is this video only uploaded yesterday?
This happens a lot lol. XD
I had an NDE & it changed everything about my life. Beyond Grateful too. Meditation has saved my life since then! Changed my perception. ❤🙏💯
This was honestly the clearest and most useful explanation I have ever heard on this topic.
I like how you made the distinction between the "We exist only with and within the body and we are nothing without it" and "We are more than just this body and are only living within it for a relatively short period of time", and how meditation takes us out of this role of the body and into the bigger picture.

Your words are so true. Meditation is the tool for me to experience and understand life more profoundly and deeply💖🙏🏻
This video convinced me to start meditating consistently and take meditation more seriously. Thank you Ben!
What a relief to feel humble rather than proud - thank you!
Hope you are barefoot getting earthed while there making this video❤.
The simplicity that you describe meditation and such is appreciated, thank you!

I do Byron Katie’s the work, she calls it meditation. I love being able to just sit now feeling good, no matter where I am, or what’s going on.
Yes please do a more in depth video. Love and Light to all
Perfectly articulated, I would be extremely interested to hear that much deeper and longer explanation. Thank you Ben. 🙏👍
Thumbs up! This is very much correct. Mainly why I try to meditate. I have subscribed.
Yes indeed, meditation is a must. One must look Inward in Silence... Silence is an empty Space... Space is the Home of the Awakened 🙏
Ben !! I am so grateful for your videos and knowledge!! Your existence has helped me through tough times in my life. I am thankful that you share your wisdom and bring clarity to the world!!!!!!!
Eloquently explained. Thank you
Wow, that's the best meditation explanation I've ever come across. Clear, concise and absolutely spot on! Thank you.
This was such a spirited earthly approach showered by Divine light. Thank you so much for sharing whatever wisdom you have acquired from merely showing up, as you beautifully phrased it, in your meditations. Part 2 would certainly be most welcome!
You are a wonderful teacher. You have a beautiful way of explaining things. Thanks you!

Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for laying that out so simply. Over 20 years meditating and now it all makes so much sense, it is so simple and so profound 😊
What a great way of seeing things.
It joins both religions and spirituality and all the teachings spiritual world have given until now.
The last time I saw a video of yours, I didn't know what Skool was. I saw what I thought to be you on there, then I see your vid. Synchronicty is starting to make me reel in joy. I'm only just starting to meditste without it being guided.
Thanks for this Ben. I fell off the meditation wagon lately and have been feeling guilty for doing so. This was a good "get back to it" for me. :)
Best description, thank you🎉
Beautiful explanation. If you say this while you are in that meditative state (without any identification), the impact would be so much bigger. Then you touch the hearts. I hope that with this explanation, you solve blocks in the minds of many. Thanks.
Thank you- it’s so clear to me now ❤
Thank you so much for this explanation. Please keep it up! 🙏
Thank you Ben. Yes would appreciate deeper explanation also for me knowing more about Devotion to the Divine and where to seek good guidance with that.

Great video by the way! Thank you 🙏
I still dont fully understand but im still at the beginning of my journey, this was insightful. Thank you.
You are so good at what you do! You are a wonderful teacher. ❤️🙏❤️

This was a very important video for me. You gave me the understanding I needed. Thanks. ❤
Thank you for this down to earth detailed presentation of the needy-greedy break down of what meditation really is!!!
Well that's an interesting way of looking at it... you've given me food for though... Thank you Ben!
Wonderful explanation. I really appreciated your video. I choose my subscriptions carefully and your video has 100% grabbed my attention. Subscribed! Bless you.

Thankyou Ben 😊
Thank you Ben, excellent video
Loved this… thank you x
Great message... thank you.

Sleep is my meditation.
Ben, loved this topic & pls do the more in-depth one (even if just a little more) 🎉
Many thanks, Ben. Your explanation makes a lot of sense to me. I'd love to hear more on this, especially why we take on the roles we do.
wonderfully explained ❤
Thank you. Your explanation was enlightening.
Excellent idea, very thought provoking
Thank you Ben! That made it a lot clearer to me.
Thank you, Ben. This is so helpful-please tell us more.
Wonderful words of wisdom thank you Ben.
Well done Ben! Thank you ❤
Would love to see a longer, more in-depth video on this :)
ओम् तत् सत्, brother.
Ben, that was beautiful. You and the real you, are, at the very very least, helpful and inspiring. Thank you.
This was great, thank you. Per your suggestion, a deeper dive on the topic would be fantastic. As someone else posted earlier, love and light to all.
Thank You!
Thank you from Cape Town Ben ❤
This is one of the clearest explanations on this topic. Thank you for this video, it is very helpful💙✨
Great analogy!
Meditation for me is balancing my emotions and thoughts to expand my awareness and understanding
Profound. Much needed.
Thanks Ben
Thank you.
Nice one 👍🌟
Very well informative video
Excellent explanation. I would love a deep dive on this please.
Good view of the truth.
The movie projector is the movie. I went within, into the light, felt the love, and remembered everything. There is no separation, you're it.
Hi Ben. Thank you so much for sharing. I would love to go deeper on medication, to know more, and also to learn more about the avatars, please.😶🌫️
Definitely takes some of the pressure off (that ego part that demands, pushes, strives for some sort of attainment).
Great content!
I don’t meditate, but every night in bed I feel the breathing and the heaving and then I see the lights. Little pixels, thousands. Then other stuff. Is this common? I just thought everyone saw what I see. Not so sure anymore.
Yes please continue with what to expect as one breathing. I would like to know if I’m normal. I have a person in my life that tells me I’m not normal. But I think I am, mostly. Finding out the truth of me would be..
What’s the right word: wonderful!
Hi Joe! Thanks for sharing. I think part of this illusion that was so beautifully described by Ben is that there IS a “normal”. We are just all having our own, beautifully unique experience which contains ANOTHER illusion - that we are to compare our experience to another’s experience as a gauge. Don’t do it! Be your own, beautiful expression and experience and you will also begin to know what peace is!
6:00 So true...its hard to tell if I am being present or presence shine through me...i guess latter one haha
Relaxation.
I liked that ive found your channel
looksmaxx bro
Meditation is silent. Everyone, each one of us, has a totally different awareness.
