The good doctor clearly knows what he is talking about. Unfortunately, his ideas don't apply to people in countries where the average citizen earns just $100-200 a month. Individual thought and action are not enough. More fundamental, systemic changes are necessary, beginning with how powerful nations like the United States decide to distribute world resources through its control over trade, finances and geopolitics.
I wouldn't be alive today after the hell I've been through for the last seven years if Divine Intervention had not protected me which IS in the universe. There's PLENTY of life in the universe.
The problem in life is narcissism. It’s not that some people are more beautiful or stronger or talented, it’s narcissism that tricks others to be giving to them, but they only take. The end. This was good, and I want to point out narcissism is what triggers all bullshit for humans. Period.
I have to agree having family members who are narcissists, and that has made my life extremely tumultuous. No wonder I’ve been in chronic pain from toxin exposure for the past 21 years!
I very much hear and understand what Dr. Doty is saying as I work in adult education where I see everyday how the way you see yourself has real physical change and outcomes. The way of the mind is an enormous powerhouse for every human on this planet. But I also have to say even though I can’t prove the spiritual things that have happened to me but I can see their presence. This could be discounted as randomness but when you do the math on probability you find the level of randomness defies the maths particularly once you get to middle age it somehow increases. So the universe I feel is a whole intelligence of its own but I also feel we have all that intelligence inside us. I say feel because as strange and spooky and unexplainable as this sounds I actually feel it like a biological feeling. It has been this feeling I think has opened my brain up to think out a problem in a way I was never able to do when younger. Is this wisdom? Maybe but as much as I feel I am the author of my own wisdom I feel like it was also revealed unto me by the universe. That makes me feel connected. I used to feel lonely and isolated from a young age but I don’t feel that now that I recognise my life is part of revealings to me. The universe has intelligence and mystery I can’t really fathom but I feel privileged to be a part of it despite the sadnesses that have happened. I can’t explain why feelings exist but the feeling of being connected to the universe even though I can’t explain how that happens is like something that feels solid or makes you feel grounded more rational and does feed positivity. But there is a lot of sense in what the Doctor says but for me I have found there is an even bigger and brighter picture out there too. I defiantly think we are all designed to access that part too.
Think its a great mistake not to realise God in truth, is closer to psychology than the great or lesser world religions. Psyche workers need to understand this & be more wholistic in their assistance.
Here I am again 😌 . I am very glad to hear that the young woman who has graduated from medical school is going to a psychiatrist. She has so much to bring that will stretch beyond the DSM and support many people to be more than a diagnostician and a diagnosis. 🌱
Dude you did not have to hammer the guy with the alcohol question right off the bat. Should have built it up naturally with discussion around his childhood. Seems very inconsiderate.
I agree completely with you on that. This isn’t a therapy session..it’s an interview. To throw such an intrusive question at the beginning was uncalled for.
The "guy" is a grown up man with what seems the required emotional balance and sharp intellect to express any inconvenience that would be presented to him... We appreciate your concerns but clearly here they are not relevant.
I find that going to the beach and finding a very calm cove, then floating on my back for around 45 minutes, rests the nervous system, especially if the water is a bit cool.
Just get clear on what you want and how you feel. Live that truth in every moment ruthlessly if you have to. Let people paint you as a villain if that’s what it takes. Just dismiss anything and anyone else’s opinion of that. Do you unapologetically. Put focus on what you want enough and you’ll find a way. Most importantly, do not ever quit whatever you do. Break down if you need to but always recommit. Focus on your wins, life always fluctuates. You may interpret that as ”selfish gen z new wave western psuedo-spiritual indoctrination” but if you do, ask yourself if you’d rather live YOUR life or other people’s? You have 24h in a day, how do you want to spend that day? And the rest of your life. What do you want to focus on. This is what has worked for me.
The dr is a life saver and your interview style is refreshing as you make it about your guest not you and you don’t try to control the direction that way who no’s where it goes
Thank you both , I have been fascinated by interviews of Dr. Doty , and have ordered his books and reading them, while I 100% agree with you Dr. Doty, it just came to mind that the argument of "in order to manifest your intentions, it has to serve humanity for it to work ", how does one explains those who commit serial acts of evil , imagine the types of evils, though their intentions has nothing to do with humanity or service to it, why are many of such evil minded individuals are "successful" in manifesting their intentions? thanks for your response
I had an alcoholic, narcissistic mother that was extremely critical of me and always telling I was somehow more frail than other children. My father was in the military and he had a hair trigger temper. I was anxious and depressed from a very early age. My life has been one anxiety producing episode after the next. I don’t know remember anyone reaching out to help me. That is what has made me feel totally alone at sea all my life. I am the only constant so I have to bear the responsibility for the failure of my life. What you say is true, but I don’t think I am going to make it to I am worthy this time around. I am 77. May you reach people who are still salvageable. Yes, people often dislike me for no apparent reason and that must come from my energy., which for the most part I am unaware of. Just watched a movie that raked it all up. Wish I hadn’t.
I'm in a 12 step program which addresses family dysfunction ( and addictions ). I'm 81 y/o, and never felt more complete. There is ALWAYS hope, whether we're aware of it, or not. 🏩
Everything you’re looking for is already within you. ❤💫 We become addicted to the feelings we don’t even like. Daily practice of focused attention, change your thoughts. Best to you.
@@donnacharles7348 yes. Rumi said that, and I agree. Thanks for your best wishes. I have only made it this far because of spiritual teachers and Echhart Tolle, Ram Das, and all the others who helped a great deal. I have never had a person to support me. Not my parents, not my ex husband who constantly put me down first forty years because I didn’t have a good way to support myself. I finally left and while working I was able to stay afloat with the help of affordable housing. I have worked my way through agoraphobia, social phobia, OCD, etc. I even managed to put to rest the flashbacks that haunted me for thirty years by speaking for the first time to a therapist. The more I allowed myself to self to acknowledge that it happened the less it could torture me. I worked 26 years in a hospital and it was very stressful. But I got up and went to work in spite of it. I moved across the country at retirement in order find a lower cost of living, because my income was in the poverty level range. I worked a part time job for two years for a woman who yelled evidently had psychological issues and made my life hell. After two years of that I left. After seven years, there was no longer a safe apartment I could rent. In the end, I ended going back to my original state, which did not have any available housing and ended up living with my ex who spent the first year punishing me for divorcing him. My chronic anxiety and lack of confidence which began with my parents constant criticism, and then reinforced by one person after the next has never been given a space to recover. I am forced to take medication to give me a break from the anxiety. Others have their glass of wine, or beer, or other alcoholic drinks for relief from anxiety. I don’t and won’t drink. If, someday I can find a person to support and be supported by, with a safe place to live that I can afford and maybe a group to belong to, I think I can beat the anxiety into submission. I have not played the victim nor do I want to. I think Dr Doty got it right. I am doing alright right at this time. Former husband has calmed down. He is 84 this month. He has COPD. He almost died last spring. I try to be in the moment and not dwell on homelessness happening literally in a heartbeat. So, if you prefer to think that anxiety is a bad habit, so be it.
@swagsurfer03 Whether you "believe" or not, you're right. Our minds perceive reality the way we think it is. To know this, one must go beyond the mind to awareness.
Great conversation! I had a similar child hood, a healing journey that has been unfolding for over 30 years! I am moving towards sharing my journey in hope of possibly helping someone else. Thankyou !💗
I lived in former USSR under socialistic regime and I can assure people who have tendency not to like capitalism, capitalism 70% better. I came to America when I was 40 in 1992. I can tell that America was and still is for me the best thing that happen to me in my life. I am terrify that with the tendency to replace capitalistic system with socialism in a future I had to live under socialistic regime again.
just a bit of constructive criticism, the wobbly screen change is really annoying and distracting, it should be a cut we hardly notice. Good video though.
It was so lovely hearing about your teacher, I want my life to be remembered as someone who loved to serve & show compassion to all!! I am 86 & still love to help other’s!! God has richly blessed me in my life, I gave up life to Jesus when I was 47. 🔥❤️🔥
Very interesting words by James Doty. Thank you for making this interview happen. Whats with your complacent smile ? The contrast with your host is massive. I guess you d benefit from keeping it cool.
This was just absolutely wonderful much appreciated. A lot of it I kind of known but the presentation of the things that I didn’t connect that clearly are so wonderful. Thank you so much.
the manifesting thing for me anyway, seems to swing on the hinges, of what we think about we bring about…. the thoughts we have are energetic and since apparently this world exists as it does, because of energy waves and frequencies, it makes sense to this current understanding i have of it, then personal realities truly do depend on the frequencies our thoughts emit… coming to this point of self awareness is the tricky part; especially when our starts are skewed by trauma, abuse, neglect and our own personal makeup like being a Highly Sensitive and/or ADHD or autistic… that makes things extra exceptionally tricky… this is a great discussion …. the constant stress is definitely unnatural and certainly skews our natural abilities to express nurture, joy, connections and community…
Wonderful hearing the interview with one of my favorite dear friends, the lovely Jams Doty. Thank you for sharing this wisdom, we are very appreciative of this teaching and we look forward to other inspirational projects! Nomi 💖🙏
I think free will is more complicated than that. While I believe that we choose all of our experiences prior to incarnation, I believe we also choose an infinite number of choice points in our lives (including choosing to operate out of a re-action from our wounded subconscious mind, or make a conscious response). So, while all choice points may have been predetermined by us, we have free will to choose the outcome in each one.
Must disagree with the esteemed and well respected Dr. Doty. The Universe does care and for some reason the Universe knew that he needed a Ruth in his life and that he would make the most of what she taught and so it was. I have experienced too many times that, it wasn't synchronicity, that the Universe has given just what I needed. Not what I most wanted, but always what I needed.
The laws of nature does Not care about the welfare of humans. However, the designer, implementer, and sustainer of Life and the laws of nature...cares about the welfare of humans.
@MD-bu3xc I agree with you. Present science is too orthodox having its own superstitions what most of the scientists & doctors think .They are in matrix ,may divine is wise enough to give insight who is capable to understand wisdom (and is pure enough on many lifetimes kind ,compassionate acts purifying karmic layers) Only those great scientists like Tesla , Oppenheimer have been able to go beyond and have become spiritual .So is the true with steve Jobs , mark zukerberg , richard alpert (Ram dass Harvard professor) have had glimpse of this. Universe must be intelligent there is no way. Unfortunately present objective science due to its inherent limitations cannot grasp it so they deny it.
God in the most simple of terms definitely seems to have care and mercy on us hence we are happily living and breathing practically unconsciously more then 50% of my time , I can't speak for everyone else but ysB glad to have this video as an outlet, thank you
Even the alcoholics and druggies deserve some kind of elation that our bodies and minds need. The right now time and space moment. Yeah man, some love and authenticity be cool too 😎.
I don t think that multi generational communities were without problems, supporting with loving care. There was also a lot of suppression, what you were born in you stay in etc.
I have to disagree. I was raised in a multigenerational house. And it was awful. Then you have the two older generations abusing you. Because the trauma passes from one generation to the next. It makes it way worse. And the universe does care. The universe sent me horses. My family never did that. They only abused me.
I really don’t like the concept of manifestation. We are constantly manifesting, as the doctor says, but it’s not something we do consciously, and most of what we manifest are not things/situations we realize we need. We might manifest something that seems, on the surface, to be absolutely terrible, but it’s something we need for reasons we may not currently understand and may never be able to understand. I do know that the more we try to control, i.e., “manifest” in the context the host is using, the worse off we are. The more we want something, the less likely we are to get it. And certainly, when we are focused on “manifesting” the things our patriarchal, capitalist society tells us will make us happy, we cannot possibly become content and fulfilled. Humans need very little in the way of material things. We need food, water and, in some cases, shelter. More than any of those things though, we need connection. And the more stuff we have, the more elusive connection becomes. So while you’re spending your energy trying to “manifest” a nice car, a big house, and lots of money, you’re actually pushing away that which you need even more than air, water and food.
I'm so sorry to hear that- are you right handed? If so, perhaps it might help to begin practicing to use your left hand more. I once broke 2 fingers on my right hand and had to use my left hand more - it was hard but you can learn.
Estimated global population: 1000 BCE: 50 million 0 : 170 million 1800 CE : 1 Billion 1970 : 3,695,390,336 2024 CE : 8,019,876,189 25% don't have anyone to talk to about suffering?
Karma is not a punishment. It’s the way the Universe maintains balance and we bring our preferred and non-preferred karma to ourselves based on whether or not we operate from love, compassion, mercy, grace, and in service to others, or not.
I doubt the approach described would have made the guy find happiness. I would say that’s a false claim. Most people who live in fear states. - did not experience a loving parental figure. So trying to access that experience as described will not work. I very much agree with the victim-shaming though, that’s rampant and probably the main business model used by life coaches and manifestation gurus.,. This whole ‘be of service’ thing however is just a big trap and it’s the same BS all religions use. It’s always someone driving a porche telling others they need to be of service… I’m so sick of that phrase!!
Gracias! However I think the viewpoint is too based in materialism/scientific explanations...the reality is that is ALL in the One and One is The All...it a great Magical Mystical Tour ....you are either on the Bus or off the Bus...et Beatles and Ken Kesey
Also my personal and professional experience has been of the most tyrannical people living a very long time. For e.g. my mother died st 95 brain in tact. Nastiness and control provided her and others eith a particular energy to keep going. The one thing zi can say is she did not smoke or drink and she took lots of naps and never held onto her anger - she vented it with gusto. Now that’s separate to her sadism. And she was great with the rosary beads.
The interviewer's gut punch re alcohol was unusually insensitive. That's a serious topic, and the Dr. grew up a trauma victim. RESPECT. Whether you agree with his perspective or not, at least --the very LEAST-- give respect.
I really appreciate the subject, but can you stop that dizzying shake of the screen when you're switching between questions and answers, please? Really uncomfortable to watch.
📌 Yes! Materialism & Capitalism turned us into viewing one another as competitors. Survival of the fittest, and damn the ones who can’t compete! The “village” or tribe mentality is a better model of living.
It's not that the universe doesn’t care; the universe is malevolent. Earth was created by God as our Eden. Our chance to grow spiritually and translocate to a better place. Some people choose compassion, kindness and prayer, some people choose the opposite. It's the choices you make; the universe doesn’t care: God does.
Exactly ruthless capitalism, taxtortion my friend calls it. My parents couldn't help themselves just came out of the 2nd warzone ... which we r still in, I consider my-/ourself in
@@newagepreipo2870 nope, I own a house in town with 4 rental units on Airbnb. Oh, and by the way, I grew up in one of those tombs, my father was a Cardiothoracic surgeon, so I KNOW what it's like to grow up in a place like that, in the Burlingame Hills...
I don't drink alcohol. What are you trying to say. My father and a lot of people around me growing up was alcoholics. I don't care for the stuff. I drink nonalcoholic drinks. What are you trying to say about me. How are you blaming me
About the old man story,,exuse me Dr Doty. You juge him, and made psycological staitment about him. and nobody like to taken adventage of. You could ask for donation
Yes God does care. To say God doesn't is a slap in the face and very unintelligent. Yard trying to use your limited intelligence to understand the incomprehensible.
Hi Mr Host...you did real good til you interrupted 12mins in to ask for subscribers...dont ever do that FBS again! Absolutely no need for it and will actively slow down or REVERSE subscribers...the opposte of what you want yeah. Coz Id just subscribed as you had not interrupted this eloquent man until 11.mins in and then BAM, YFU. BYE.I will follow him not you.
Worst interview I've ever listened to, all he did was say Arrr Arrr Arrr and tell us why we are the way we are. We already know that, fight or flight. Dreadful
