You start with telling a story about studying for 15 years and then say Drop the story, you have demonstrated that humans are unable to not tell a story. I think what's important is having volition in what story to tell and not in the futile attempt to not tell a story, worrying about something can affect the outcome of that thing and somethings you should worry about.

Thanks for sharing this. Good stuff.

Funny that they tell so many stories about Buddha's life or any other religuous/spiritual figure and their whole teachings are based on that... Contradiction much...

@@susanna8612 What are some of the contradictions that you see?

@@wendym2544 its pretty clear what I said. Im sure you are capable of understanding the contradiction your self.

@Tami Wood Thank you for your transparency! I’ve begun to unravel from my mind’s stream of consciousness in the last 5 weeks. John Wheeler’s non-duality talks and now this understanding of surrendering v. “controlling” on behalf of God. If/when my thoughts well up strongly showing my suffering, and the simple reminder to myself that I am not my thoughts is lacking, I calmly ask that overwhelming part to step back for a period of time. It allows me to let go of “stuff of mind” without stress. Blessings to you in your journey too! 😊

@@amorris0419 thank you Andra💕 May we continue our journey of imperfection & empathy and discover our deep down love for ourself! Many blessings to you 😘

Al HamduAllah, inshallah all will be well….

A philosophy teacher at Santa Fe told me about Mickey. Phil Goldberg. He liked Plato and Hesse and Martin Heideggar and followed a spiritual master named Kirpal Singh. Phil was a talented young teacher who played musical instruments, in particular the flute. I remember in his Logic class he invited Hare Krsna devotees into the class to debate. We were very unfortunate in debating those young devotees, brahmacharyas. I am sure we were intimidated by the process they were undergoing. Who were we to challenge their assertions on the Bhagavad Gita. It wasn't required in our class and indeed, I myself had only a cursory knowledge of it and its context. Phil was a great joy and he taught FREE classes in A.A. Bailey books, principally, A Treatise on White Magic and A Treatise on Cosmic Fire.

Wow i was gonna comment she looks like Blossom. It is her. I know shes a neuroscientist didn't know she was a believer. I must of been under a rock. But praise the lord a genius that isnt decieved and knows the truth the way and the life.

Thank you for sharing this. Brought goosebumps. I really believe this in my heart.

I would really like to know more about that story. Was it his Dad? And what did he say? That download has happened to me before too.

@@tamgsmith8077 After that I started getting telepathic communication telling me to take a photo of the sky . I was driving and was told telepathically to take a photo of the sky. I didn't see or hear anything- You look at the photo and there are tons of craft in the photo! Another time I was walking at the park and again was told to take a photo-And this boomerang looking craft is in the photo 2012 After that intense experience I went looking for answers as to what that love was that beamed through my entire body! And I came across a few channelers and was just thinking how amazing it would be to fly in a craft with them. Well two nights later I went to sleep and I found myself in this oval room with three very tall beings! I was sitting on this seating that goes all around this oval room.. and I was looking into space and I saw this huge explosion then this mothership just appeared!!! Biggest thing ive ever seen! So I got goosebumps on my arms and went to look down and rub them and boom! I was back in my in bed. Knowing I was just on a craft with three ET beings! Its called Astral Travel. Feb 2017 I was driving home late one night and was fidgeting with my radio when I heard in my head ACCIDENT ACCIDENT - I looked up at the road and I was reaching an intersection and there was a car stopped in my entire lane. I knew I was gonna T bone this guy and I slammed on my breaks and turned my wheel over to the side and our tires maybe touched! That was my proof that we have spirit guides with us 24-7- June 16th 2017 1:41am Imagine being woken up by a cymbal tone in your inner ear and when you open your eyes , you see this being standing in your bathroom doorway- The first thing my mind said was : Your eyes are playing tricks on you, you arent really seeing this being. Then she moves slightly forward and then I know that shes real and in that moment she backs further into the bathroom and out comes this huge sphere transparent with static on both sides of it. It floats right up to the side of my bed and then it shapeshifts into a smaller object then elongated and flies slowly and silently through my ceiling I know the logical mind wants to explain it away- Because its so far from anything we thought possible. My own mind tried explaining it away and she was right in front of me! I got up immediately and typed up what i just witnessed - it was Fascinating part about it was that she was atleast 4ft tall that i know for sure but this sphere that was obviously her craft when it came up to the side of my bed got as small as a basketball.... so how the hell did she fit in it? Their technology manipulates our physics! Its so magical!!

@@sylviavogt8950 It was truly blissful!!

@@tamgsmith8077 Yes it was his dad. Here is word for word what i experienced during that session that evening in 2011- i was working on my client and out of nowhere I felt this overwhelming loving energy beaming through every cell in my body... IT was so blissful no words can come close to really describing it. Then I literally got a message like downloaded into my mind that stated. "I am a family relative that has passed away and I am here to love and support him". He was face down and probably very confused cause out of nowhere I said do you have any family that have passed away. He was silent for a sec then said yeah my dad. I said well he's here! And wants you to know that he is here to love and support you. He didnt say anything. His dad was from the middle east so not much of a relationship . So unfortunately no further conversation took place.

So profound. Thank you for sharing

@@sindysimms4001 it will

I'm very similar, a bit bipolar, more depressed than maniacal episodes, and only 72. Lets hope that we'll all have a breakthrough and maybe life will get better, before we die in this life. But it's pretty miserable at the moment. Love xxx 👵🥴🤞😁⚖🙏🏼👍💜✨

Practice heart coherence anytime your having an episode. I've taken myself out of a irrational crying fit to inner peace in 5 minutes. Takes practice but it works. You have to shut the brain down and reprogram the body. Your mind will loop on past ideas and distort them. Some of those thoughts and ideas are not even yours.

Please allow me to share my best friend's story with you. This family knows where to turn in times of grief. Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a tract form as well, so if you or your church are interested in having them to pass out, please go to libertyfaith.net and you will find the contact info there.

@@Corrans Ah I see 🤭, thank you for replying! X

what's a normal day like to you? do you work?

Love is the main goal of spirituality.. most people think it’s about having psychic abilities and all.. but I share almost same experience with you. It is crazy, but once you get to that place of love for everything and everyone you find peace and calm on the journey. We all came from love, we must return to love, that’s what life is about. Sending you more divine love and light ❤ stay vibrant 🥰🌈

I can so empathise with the ‘rollercoaster’ that you’re on. It’s so far from our ‘normal’ experience.

Can I message you?

Im assuming you're vegan right

Yeah, it’s more subtle than that. As human persons, we are not God. We deliberately divested ourselves of that in order to become human, if you believe in the pre-existence of souls. Even the so-called ‘enlightened’ are not gods…they are human beings who have attained critical wisdom about their human journey.

@@dorothysay8327 this 'God' is the Super Ego, the imagination, its the childish or Primordial seeking protection. Notice how if something good happens to someone it was 'God' yet if it something they don't like, its the 'Devil' 🤣🤣🤣 what you said there must be experienced, not from a self-view construct - as you know so that personality you replied to may not comprehend ...

Everyday IS a celebration and a present 🎁 ✨️ 💕

Every day isnt Christmas, because everyday cant be controlled. Theres the difference.. when we let go of control we can grieve in those times of suffering and be happy in those times of peace. The illusion of control causes us to think that had we done all these other things this situation would have been different "I should have known" etc. etc. All this fear sits there inside because we are trying to control outcomes.

@Lesley T ŕRr

I love the etymological meanings of words surrender is one very worth looking up “surrender (v.) mid-15c., "to give (something) up," from Old French surrendre "give up, deliver over" (13c.), from sur- "over" (see sur- (1)) + rendre "give back" (see render (v.)). Reflexive sense of "to give oneself up" (especially as a prisoner) is from 1580s. Related: Surrendered; surrendering.”

@@monicatata6725 Thank you.

Go into the void, there you’ll find source& there you can heal yourself completely. Dr.Joe Dispenza speaks of this & has proven this scientifically, he shows you how to find the void

Very good point 👍

I appreciated that

I'm curious, did you move because you had enough of not moving, or life nudged you to where you are now? Struggling with stuckness but change is proving to be a confusing process..

@@johnnysinner I was in a long-term codependent verbally abusive relationship. I could have gotten out of it earlier and should have, but I know I would have been right back in a similar situation, because I thought it was always the fault of the other person and they just needed to changed. FINALLY I learned my inner attraction to these types was inside me and that that is what I needed to heal. I will never let that happen again with my new found knowledge. If I had to do life over, I would have to go through it all again to reach the inner clarity and peace I now have. While I am sure it is frustrating, maybe asking yourself "what am I supposed to learn from my current situation" and know that the answer will be revealed one day. The fact that you are curious and and willing to ask questions is a good sign. Much love to you on your journey!

So good to have this information. Thankyou❤❤❤

@@linnwalker3760 😊❤

So familiar for me, I mean the thought that I'm wasting my life.

Now u know, takes time to change our perspective.

I was in anxiety and depression for a decade and I turned everything around 7 years ago. I started eating healthy, got spiritual, practiced hot yoga every day, and most importantly read all of Michaels books. I had an awakening after reading the surrender experiment and I've let life/god choose my path ever since. Today, I can't remember the last time I worried longer than 5 seconds. My consciousness almost automatically just drops away from my mind the second it gets going. It's like I have this 6th sense now that recognizes when my mind is acting up when it's not needed. Unbelievable. It hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows, and in doing this work I've uncovered some really deep wounds... one of which took 2 years to process (I just finished processing it) and it was ENORMOUSLY painful, BUT my mind was quiet through most of it. I cried constantly and groaned and moaned all the while trusting that this is what's in me and it's not infinite. It will pass at some point. And here I am on the other side of it, once again, less neurotic and ego based then before the pain started. Sorry for the rant I just felt compelled to chat with you about my experience because 7 years ago I needed someone to tell me that it was possible to find lasting fulfillment in this life. I pray you'll do what it takes to find it in yourself. Lots of love.

Wow Scott I wish I new how to do that I am struggling so with trauma

@@gettingthere7778 Ask for help!! You’ll be able to heal it! We all have trauma that can be released.

@@elmapollard4238 Okay, WOW!! "Pain is caused by fighting with reality" is such a powerful thought. I hate to even use the word thought. It's reality at it's finest!! Thank you for that. I'm going to paint it on some beautiful paper and put it on my wall. Reading that brought up so many instances in my life where I can see that for the cause of so much pain I carried, particularly through childhood and teen-age years; well, most of my life if I'm honest about it. LOL

@@meldj9352 Thank you so much. I appreciate that so much. Through this very excellent adventure, God has given me some fabulous "teachings" about letting go and being okay with whatever presents itself. I did set that intention and I was given an opportunity to let God know that my intention was to be serious and committed to that intention. When I set that intention, I expected only "little" things to happen, just little annoyances, easy stuff. I got the real deal.

That's so beautiful and I'm so glad to see that more men are realizing that it's not only ok to talk like this, it's a freeing, healing thing. I think (no, I know) so many males have been harmed by the stereotypical idea that men are supposed to "suck it up" and "be strong" (whatever THAT means). Being told that showing your emotions is for "sissies". It's such a brutal and harmful way to condition boys into thinking that sharing their true feelings in any way outside of anger is somehow less than manly. We've been working hard for a while on deconstructing what it means to be a lady or feminine. Women being able to vote, work outside the home, be bosses and CEO 's, show emotions other than being demure and coy and sweet and soft.... and on and on. We need to also work on men and boys knowing that's it's not only normal, but healthy and helpful to their lives and the lives of those around them for them to be able to feel and express emotions that were traditionally thought of as "less manly". It will make for healthier individuals and a healthier world.

Back in the day, we were God and Goddesses. Today, the EGO/Material Man takes away from living a beautiful, loving life.

I actually started laughing and crying hysterically 10 minutes into the video and went outside and felt an overwhelming sense of joy and peace and saw beauty in everything. It was so simple to just be in that blissful state. Has always been. Yet I somehow was disconnected from it my whole life.

We cannot drop our story. It is a pointing that tries to articulate something that can happen but cannot be done. The "we" who would drop the story is part of the story. The "I" who would be free of the "me" is still identified as something. Awareness is aware of thoughts, sensations, etc., but cannot be known as an object outside of itself. Our feelings about being the perceiver are "the story".

CPTSD dgaf if one drops the story or not. It will come back, regardless.

"The moment in front of you isn't bothering you. You're bothering yourself about the moment in front of you." and "Do what's in front of you with all of your heart and soul." are my favorites.

Yes, yes, yes! To everything you stated!

Yes very true. But the cerebral and the transcendent are in desperate need of a convo. So don’t knock Mayim. She’s open and humble

But yes it IS annoying. LOFL. She’s always doing that accept me thing: reacting properly whole giggling at her own lack (or pretend lack to prop up the guest. She’s leading, making a narrative, drawing connections and basically as every too educated too exposed too nerve blown east coast girl (me pre-recovering from life) .. she needs reason. It boggles me in a way as I always thing Jewish people who speak of it embody faith. And Mayim surely feels and expresses humility. But she bypasses pain. Somehow. That gut wrenching HFS none of these labels mattered and these are my kids but that’s not me and I can’t control Sh- LIFE?! kind of existential pain that forces awakening. She laughs when he mentions he was born on the same day aa Sigmund Freud. How silly! Zen is not funny he says. She laughs hard. Hmm. Actually, to be honest Mayim is annoying me seriously here because I hate the way she’s not even TRYING to feel only egocially finding his narrative. Love love love this man. Like Ram Dass.
