Hey, it's Luke :) Combining spirituality with psychology, I plan to share with you simple, easily digestible, practical techniques to finding true inner peace. For years I was in the grip of intense anxiety and depression, whilst working toward becoming a clinical psychologist. I studied every type of therapy out there, and some of them did work. But nothing has compared to when I went through my spiritual awakening, or as I say: Transcended Thought. Since then, I have been grounded in peace. I left that career path to become a spiritual teacher, and plan to help you to achieve the same.
My last two apartments I have lived in were brand-new as well, it is definitely a better way to go if you can. At 15:52 you mention "Muji". I am not sure you have mentioned this before, sorry if you have, but I am interested in learning more about that. I am familiar with the Japanese store with that name, am I mishearing that word?
Mooji is a jamaican advaita teacher, he has close to a thousand youtube videos uploaded, with an average video length of 2 hours. He is great and i've followed him exclusively for 4 years now.
This is a great video and I wanted to share that I struggle because I do believe it is our job to raise a vibration on the planet, but I also see that it’s our job to stand up for justice and liberation for all and sometimes those two can be conflicting. For instance, I have been going to protest the genocide in Gaza. I feel I should do that since my government is funding it. I live in America. However, I struggle because I don’t want to create more division, but I also don’t want to spiritually bypass the fact that my government is slaughtering children.. any thoughts on this?
There's nothing spiritual about inaction. Let everything that you do be within your self realization. A spiritual master is not a wimp. A Tibetan monk set himself on fire to protest the Vietnamese war. Can you imagine what sort of discipline would be required to sit peacefully while your entire body is being immolated, without flinching? A spiritual master is the complete opposite of a wimp. Even inner peace, is a war you have to fight. The war over your own mind. Why would outer peace be any different? Being spiritually aware, you should be setting an example, by following your heart, not your head. Your head says "there is a conflict". Your heart does not know anything about conflicts. It is simply expressing its nature. That is the war you should be paying most attention to, foremost. The war that is pitting your heart against your head. Let the head be empty and silent. Then you can live in harmony with all of life no matter what you are doing, because its your actual expression, instead of something contrived.
Im too far gone... i can't accept that i left my job, because i was told i could retire. They made like i accomplished a great thing... to be able to retire. So i did... now im scared to live. Im afraid of everything. Even the daily hobbies and enjoyments.. are no longer. I hate what I've done. How can i accept and move on?... im stuck in regret. I have anxiety and depression. I used to be happy all the time.
I was told I could retire, and that I was lucky, and it was what we all wanted..? They said it would be great... so I did it... and immediately realized, .. I was tricked. I hated it. I wanted my life back. I couldn't do anything I used to. There was no enjoyment anymore. Now, I'm a wreck. Om afraid to go anywhere. I'm afraid to talk or see any friends. I just afraid all the time. I hardly sleep.. and I awake in Panic. Knowing that my life isn't the same... the way I want it. I Wan my job back,.. amd to see all my friends at work... I had confidence amd self esteem!, purpose and the identity I loved. I hate living now.. and often think of ending my life. I m so angry at myself...
Great content as always Luke. However, you are not seperate is somewhat misleading. It implies that there is a you seperate from everything else. The you is the separation that the you is seeking to overcome. There isnt anyone to overcome separation, There is nothing separate.
I feel it is the perfect moment to tell you how grateful I am for finding your channel.I know God guided me to you,and because you share your wisdom and the truth, I find myself ✨️and I live now in freedom⛓️💥, so,I thank you Luke, for everything you are doing,🙏✨️ and I trust and I know that how you helped me to see the truth others will see 👀it too💫.God bless you ,brother 🙏
😂excuse you. The universe was created by someone greater and bigger than it! It cannot in a million years guide us for that will be idolizing! Only God in Christ is meant to guide us, our Creator and the universe's maker! Repent for the kingdom of God is near! Repent! For Christ died amd rose by power of holy spirit. Repent! for judgement day is surely coming. I love you, and Jesus loves you enough to repent!
Thank you for this message Luke. So incredibly helpful. Thank you for not getting tired of telling us these things we need to hear over and over. To help us remember. Resistance seems to be how I go about everything. I did once completely understand that "allowance" of the present moment was the way for me to live - but I forget all the time.
It’s definitely a practice - I believe it’s what will change the world so will never get tired of making the videos - even if just a few people benefit it’s worth it ☺️
Luke these are such beautiful and powerful words 🙏 I love the idea of going into neutral. I am immediately present with that. So much wonderful content in this vid. Thank you 💜

What I don’t get : There is a war in your neighbor country. The possibility that it affectes your country is high. So out of fear you decide to move. Since living in present is not living to fear, wouldn’t that mean fatal consequences??
There’s a difference between fear of a real threat, and psychological fear that is created by thoughts. And there is an interesting account that just before a tsunami, all of the wild animals naturally moved to higher ground. Not due to fear, something in them merely guided them there. The same for birds during a storm. I feel that surrendered state of presence is the optimal way of living. You may still feel fear in such situations, but it is a different kind - more of a survival response. But it’s possible to see an oncoming war, accept this, and move without the need for fear. Hope that helps
@@Luketherapy thank you. It helped a bit yes. Humans Brian is far more developed what also helps him to survive better then most animals do. Because we can be strategic or see long term affect of things. I think my fear is that if I am in the present moment do I still make the best descision for survival or ist just because we live in the 21.century and that’s why we can life that why. A seatbelt is basically overthinking
@@l.s9148 I’m glad it helped; yes, find the balance 🙏🏼 doesn’t need to be extreme, just find the level of present moment awareness that works for you in this moment :)
