Been living with depression and negative thoughts for what seems like forever now, and it's deeply impacted my entire being and relationship with others. Feels like I'm stuck in my own mind. Nice t-shirt by the way. :)
Nosce Te Ipsum Same here. I have friends that I gave up talking to, even my own twin brother, because I feel so badly about my own self that I feel I don't deserve them. The majority of the time it's just me and my thoughts which seem to be increasingly negative. I want to change but I am scared and unmotivated and I've felt this way so long there are times I think it's normal or something. Don't mean to ramble on on your comment but I also feel like I'm stuck in my own mind, too.
Hey tom hope my friends are more open and positive they keep dragging me down with there negative thoughts and even my family thank you for posting and you should keep on making content just as mother told you and hope you will get to where you want in life cheers
Incredibly insightful video, coming at a really helpful time for me. I particularly enjoy the idea of thoughts being manipulable, and as you said it instantly I realized how stupid it has been of me to entertain the previously considered fact that me constantly having negative thoughts was just my unhealthy reality and that I must just be fucked. Thanks for this.
Tom, you are wise and beautiful. I've watched a few of your videos now, including the 7.5 g trip report and the micro-dosing psilocybin experiment, which I really enjoyed. I myself have conducted these experiments over the course of about 3 months this season last year. I can confirm the effects! I also experiment micro-dosing psilocybin with vaporizing cannabis as well as taking these two in combination with nootropics, like nitrovit. I've truly changed my brain at exponential paces, because I've been able to change my mind at exponential paces. That's really incredible, because I can verify firsthand from experience your testimonies. And that means all your videos, or at least the ones I've seen so far. I absolutely love your metaphor of the house and a person banging on the door to represent thoughts that knock so loud I can almost hear them. Then saying it is your choice, always in your own power to say yes or no, invite for tea or not. This is basically the art of making the subconscious conscious. Before, we subconsciously thought our thoughts, unaware of their relationship to our perceptions, our feelings, our physical bodies, other people, and the environment. Now, we consciously think our thoughts, aware of them, vividly keen to pay attention to the relationships between our thinking patterns and reality, and when you experience a synchronicity, this is but a realized contact of thought with matter, or, in other words, our minds and reality. The more they happen; this means you are increasing awareness of the unity between mind and matter. A synchronicity is like a glitch in the programming. When they happen, they are instantaneous-lived realizations that self and other, mind and matter, spirit and material, are One. When see a word you haven't ever heard of in the English language, and then you see the exact same word some time later in the day, when before that day you cannot remember ever seeing it before. When you have a particular insight that you swear was original to you, only to hear someone say the exact same thing word for word about five minutes later on a youtube video? When you feel jealous others are having the same insights as you, realizing this is the ego, and consciously remembering that their mind is your mind. There never were different minds. There is but one mind and you are It. What do I really see in this video that brings me so much joy? Consciousness!!! Love ya man. Just do what you do! I just wanted to say I love it and I applaud.
Hi mate, i just wanted to let you know that your chanell is awesome! My new favourite ytb chanell. You are obviously inteligent and inspired by Mckenna like me. Anyway, have a good day ;))
Totally resonated with what you said. Thank you for being you! haha I like that you have the choice of two interesting videos at the end but they aren't clickable. I think you'd get more views if you added links to them so that people don't have to search for the videos and then forget.
i had an lsd experience a few weeks back it showed me that i need to kick some friend out of my friend group cause they were negative thinkers but i kept feeling bad because they were friends i hanged with them every day for the last 7/8 months. but they helped me in a depression. after the lsd i changed everything i'm going to a psycholoog to get me out of this depression and i'm putting effort back into school because i did almost nothing for those 7/8 months and fucked up everything. this video solidifies my thought. THANKS MAN!! keep it up, your videos are really helping me and i mean it.
As the thoughts continuously knock on your door-skull, politely turn away the negative ones and invite the positive inspirational ones in for tea. #equanimity #mindfulness ✌🏼️☸🍄
I agree with a lot of what your saying, but I find challenging your negative thoughts to be more helpful. When I'm confronted with a negative I try to look at if its true or not first, cause often we are really hard on are selves and are negative thoughts can be greatly exaggerated or completely false. What are your thoughts on that?
Hey, i'm kinda new here and since this is an old video I doubt that you are going to see this and I'm really sorry for the long message but just maybe you'll find this and find my words interesting, I'm in a weird fase of my life and I feel really isolated, lonely and I don't really like to say it but in some way depressed( A lot of this is cause I'm kinda an outsider in where I live it's really hard to even relate to someone and I'm what you can call a starting entropenur* or a owner of a small company and this is lifting me up but the hard work is really bringing me down, and this mixed with finishing school and going to work well its really exhausting but I know it could be really worst).. but in some way, I'm way happier with myself, and the way I'm able to see things now, from a difrent prespective and this made me see some of the mistakes in myself and I'm finally being able to start being more positive and bring more joy to myself and others around me, because you said that if I let myself be just myself and forgot the mask we wear I would be able to bring the people that I want and need in my life, and I own part of that to you, you and adam helped me and a lot and thought me to fight for happiness, talking about other matters I'm still young so I have a long journey ahead of me, a loooong one, but now I belive that I'm in the right track and I'll give everything I have to deserve it, if you do see this Tom I would love to have a chance to talk with you even if briefly, or who knows maybe one day even meet you, this comment it's on an older video of yours but I'll copy it to a newer one so you may see this easier, overall I just wanted to say thanks for everything and I'll keep giving you all my support, I hope this was a positive influence on your day, so have a good one!!
Who said you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with? It was sort of hard to hear. What happens if you don't really spend time with anyone?
hey tom I would love to know your Myers Briggs personality type and I even think it would be really interesting for you to make a video delving into the subject some and the idea of harmony and diversity.. Just a thought, it would be cool if you responded
Great video! I like the way you think. Whenever I have some negative thoughts I usually start to laugh or smile or just sing a bit. For me it helps a lot to use these thoughts. I start to write a story or maybe a poem, which turns something negative into something positive and productive. Please let me know your thoughts about this :).
+ZornSl4p As Einstein has stated many times, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only moved or transformed. Turning something that was originally negative into an art form like writing and music is a beautiful way to be productive. :)
So even if I know the thought is completely true, I should ignore it, and basically be in denial of some things? Not trying to discredit you, but how does that work
Primal you can deal with your thoughts in a healthy matter, you can shape them and make them appear more friendly i guess, just like you can bring one thing across in different ways in a conversation, by how you word it
