Thanks man, I am suicidal, but under medical supervision - decided to watch this one. My ego is melting. The thing you did is like grounding and letting my ego finally see the reality as it is. And it is tough man, it is really tough. But there is no other way than to be here and now, and confront the reality as it is. Thank you for realization. Much love to you.
@@1352762 Hey man, I hope you're doing well! I know life can be very hard at times and sometimes even prolonged. But I hope you'll one day let go and fall into the peace of God. 🌌❤️
Please stay here. We are on this journey together and need you. You matter. I understand the dark place and send you vibrations of peace and love my brother. ☮️💜
Suffering happens when we believe our thoughts, when we identify with the ego. We all "suffer" because we believe our ego mind and believe in the separateness it creates. We have forgotten that we are all one and that we are all perfect, just as we are.
I swear to God this is the best talk I've ever heard!!!! This is coming from the truth! .. no lies! No hope for a better tomorrow! No promises.. nothing that people seek ! Even this comes with a voice that goes straight to the heart ! I listened to it 4 times , and in each time, it was like I'm listening for the first time !!! What is that ??!!
I too never comment. Why? To whom other than my self am I speaking. BUT TRUTH is To Be ACKNOWLEDGED. Thank you ❤. RAW REALITY. No one is coming to save you. That is the end of the f#$king spiritual road. REJOICE !! YOU ARE IT! That’s all there is to IT. Now you are free to BE, by yourself, as yourself, with yourself. Done and dusted baby. 🎉
The desire to escape from the pain you are experiencing creates suffering (unsatisfactoriness) and no amount of real pain is as bad as that unsatisfactory state, so just don’t try to escape from it. Embrace it.
That's a great talk !! That's the truth . Surrender ! No way out. Its even a relief 😊 ego goes, life begins ! Wow ! It's the easiest way! You are the best dear . Thank you for being here ❤🙏
There is only presence, and presence is God. Embrace God in this moment, fully accepting everything it offers. There’s nowhere to go and nothing to chase.
This reminds me of my mums tough love approach that I used to hate. Life's not fair and the world doesn't owe you anything were her favourite sayings ❤ I thought she was belittling my pain but now I see she was saving me from myself.
Das war das beste Video meines Lebens. Es ist die einzige Wahrheit. Nur wenige Menschen erkennen das.Ich habe lange gebraucht (bin 80).Alles entspricht meiner Erfahrung. Ich danke Dir mein junger Freund, daß Du es bestätigt hast.❤
@@zoltanbodrogi8660 Ich auch... obwohl ich dachte, ich hätte keine Tränen mehr in mir... Love from 77 y/o ❤ (who enjoyed decades of Krishnamurti, Osho, Alan Watts - and now ASCENDOR...)
Very powerful. I felt the same tears coming on. It is not my personal suffering. It is the suffering of the world I am experiencing. I didn't see it that way before.
You’re the first person I’ve heard speak about spirituality that rejects the idea of getting something “good” out of it. I was worried that giving up would cause despair but you have helped me how the opposite is true. Extremely grateful for that insight thank you!
As Jesus once said, the kingdom of heaven is at hand, it is available for anyone, and you're message, when one fully understands it and embody it, will realize that, as you yourself realized it. I love all of them, and I love you my brother, because there is no reason, it's unconditional ❤️🔥
❤ thank you. I grew up in the Northern Hemisphere for over forty years and then moved to the Southern Hemisphere 11 years ago. There is a conditioned belief STILL that September is when Autumn begins although I’m “living through” the last month of winter. I know what season it is and how the weather is, but the underlying belief is that the time is approaching for leaves turning yellow, orange, and red, the scent of fall, pumpkins, traditional decorations from where I grew up. It happens in February too, then it seems like spring should be coming but it’s really the end of summer here. Logically I know what season it is and what to expect, but the conditioning is so strong that the old belief bubbles up from time to time. I think this is the same with apparently waking up. There is so much that makes sense to me but there is the old and deep grained conditioning of believing I’m a separate self and that thoughts are mine. Your words help very much. They are like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae-really finishing off the message for this apparent me that is fighting to cling to the old beliefs while realising there are no beliefs to be had. ❤❤❤ thank you, Justin xx
My experience was somewhat different. I didn't dwell in the suffering but loved the part of me that suffered, thereby switching from illusion to truth, from suffering to peace, from judgement to compassion, from everything to nothing. Now, whenever another small part appears that still isn't love, whether in the mind or what we call our world, I love that part and that's another step closer to oneness with all. As ACIM says, "Everything is either an expression of love, or a call for love."
Still going at some moment of the day though videos as I felt it helped reinforce awareness, but lately that I'm feeling more naturally aware this 'stop seeking pointers' videos come up. I love the paradox and the humor of the universe. Feeling the silence between the words, thanks.
Felt a strong calling to comment this video. Never commented on any video before. Been watching your videos daily, and its been great to witness this. Sending you lots of love. 💖. Keep doing what "you" do. 🙏 And to the fellow sufferer who is watching this, I want you to know that this too shall pass. It is possible to find peace within regardless of relative situation. Of course these words come from only "my" subjective experience and "I" only know one thing that "I" really dont know anything. Realise that no matter how bad your situation seemingly might feel, you might feel there is never ever going to be any hope or change, but there is. Your situation and view of this "world" is colored by your egos or minds lens, which is always distorted. It is usually "programming" from this society, your parents, experiences and environment. I know how hard it might feel to see through it. It is just an illusion. Like everything else. You cant see the true nature of things and neither can "I". There is a question for you. When you are reading this text, and seeing it through your eyes, and processing this in your subconcious mind and transfering some kind of personal meaning out of it to understand, ask your self who is the one who sees this text? Who is it? This text which you see now, is only words and letters from "programming". You have learned to associate it with meanings. If you never learned about language or reading this would not mean anything to you. You would not understand this. This is proof from "programming". And all of your suffering is essentially this learned programming too. Rough example is that, when a child accidentally spills a glass of milk to the table it only sees the milk is not in the glass and it is on the table now. If parent comes from conditioned (programmed, unaware) expreiences and stressed life and throws tantrums and diciplines child from that accidental action, child learns something from that. "Programming" starts. Child learns you should not put milk from glass to table to avoid parents reaction. Child becomes conditioned to watch out for mistakes because it causes bad reactions from the most important persons in childs life. These kind of events, if they are repeated will cause child to develop extremely careful or hypervigilant behavior which cant be seen because it its normal for child because it does not know anything else. Then this cumulates to different "personality" traits in the "ego" through life and child is hypervigilant and careful and self concious and scared to make any mistakes because it will cause subconcious suffering and bad responses. Now, watch these words as they speak in your mind when you read and ask yourself who is the one that reads these? That who uses eyes and "rests as an awareness" at this moment and witnesses this. This might be more closer to "you" than the programming and story you tell yourself based on it (ego). Look around where you are. Who sees all of the things you see? It is "you". And in there. As you be the witnesser of all things, you find peace. You find that you "see" things through egos and minds lens if you dont realise this. Basic "Awakening" is so simple. From that point on, you can start to see things more as they might be. From that point you might be able to realise what "letting go means". The more you let go of the programming, the closer you get to peace. This does not remove pain from life. There will always be pain. But it opens the possibility to see there is much more than that, and you dont need to cling on anything. This opens a window for anything. I truly hope you can understand that YOU are NOT your thoughts. It will set you "free" from suffering when you understand this. But it is true that no one is going to save you. There might be directors in your way, like this video. Or this comment. But "you" are the solution to everything, and you should feel empowered from it! You are everything and nothing.
Thanks a lot!! Being depressive for many months and having suïcidal thoughts lately, still watched this video, because I already watched a ton of these. By these I mean videos where we're talking about the ego, there is no I, the world is an illusion etc etc etc. A friend of mine who I met via instagram last year, told me a lot about this. What I learnt from him is that by meditating before sleep and after waking up, the ego slowly dies. Peeling of the layers of everything that I am not. Actually, what the ego is not. And when the ego died, you will not feel tje higher highs and the lower lows. I heard you saying in this video that you do still experience them. For many months that friend got me confused, because I told him i.e. when a body works out, all chemical process are starting which releases hormones, feel good hormones. So..... this is something that can't be stopped, it just happens. I remember one day in the gym where I all of a sudden felt my brain pumping from excitenment, it felt I was on drugs or something, reaally great, literally a high feeling gave me that. So I asked my friend that when the ego has died, is it still okay the feel the higher high? He also explained that the devil wants us to experience the high's , only in order to bring us down again. Up down up down..... I said that is life. No, it's the devil playing with you. Now I see that, the ego and the mind are the devil, like speaking in religious terms (I'm not religious, neither that friend, but raised as a christain). But also I have learnt from Joe Dispenza that we can alter our brain. So... are we using something evil than? It's very true that we can change our brain by hypnotherapy for example and what more. Ice baths. Indeed those are the practical things. From a young age and since a few years , suffering and struggling, the ego tells me that he doesn't want to meditate and yoga etc, because why do I need it in the first place, why am I not already "good", what is wrong with me that I need meditation. I"m already "perfect" aka we're already enlightened. We can't become something what we already are right. A thing I noticed is that when you speak you close your eyes often, me too! Helps me concentrate/ see things better and the flow of talking is more smoothly for me. Thank you again and have a wonderfull day
I’m good. Wish you could talk more on the topic, Surrender or Suffer. All of us are suffering at one time or another. It’s sure to resonate with all your listeners. Always brilliant and honest, love you man❤
@@kannan1610 Amazing! The thing is, there isn't really a method for surrendering. If one wants to know how to do it, the ego starts to chew on the method instead of simply surrendering right now. Surrendering simply means doing nothing.
Hahaha you’re gifted man: you just shared with me the Cosmic Joke that we never need to do anything! But we love to hear reminders from evolves Souls like you ❤
I did this today right before I seen this video I was like we ran and was distracted ourselves from gaining resources and improvement. I said just experience the suffering.
You are still there whether you acknowledge it or not. Whether you “escape” it, it is still there. It never disappear because it never existed. This acceptance will free you.
@@TruthBounty I understand. Even with acceptance, the mind creeps back in and controls my whole consciousness to get me to escape through means of addictions. So I'm only partially freed when I surrender.
@@playcost are you talking about actual addictions -alcohol, nicotine, drugs, sex? Or the addiction to keep in the pain? Surrender everything. To all addictions. Don’t try to control the addiction or yourself. You’re fighting because you are addicted. You already are addicted. You are already weak. You are human. Accept it. The addiction is stronger than you. Is it to keep you there or to make you stronger? What is on the other side of addiction? Are you scared to find out? Is the fear greater than the pain you are in, allowing you to stay there because it’s comfortable. You will find your way out, or rather, it will find you.
@@TruthBounty addicted to an escapism lifestyle from the present experience. The thing is that if I don’t intervene in any way, it seems that I would keep doing the same things and continue to suffer. Theres buried traumas and emotions that I’m actively avoiding. And by opening up to them, fear comes back in and I’m back to the mind conditioned state.
@@playcost face the fear. You already did. Future you already did the hard work for you. Trust yourself - rather trust everything. It already did it for you.
Thank you for your videos, I resonate deeply with them ❤ as a trainee CBT therapist I sometimes feel conflicted because of this exact thing. I remind myself to shift my purpose from ending a patients suffering in the ‘world’ to seeing them as they truly are- infinite, innocent and invulnerable. When I hold them in this space, and ultimately observe our interaction from a place of complete stillness and acceptance, I believe that healing can take place. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this 😊
Completely true, never seen a video that explains my suffering so well. The mind tries hard to find constant solutions to my profound RJ /anxiety but ironically this is what holds me back. I’ll do a shroom ego death for first time this week
I think sudden and gradual enlightenment is a real thing. Think about someone going out into the rain and suddenly getting drenched vs someone who is walking in mist and gradually becomes soaked. I believe the way for people with mental illness/extreme sensitivity is the gradual path and they need to be gentle with themselves. I still appreciate this teaching but I feel it can increase suffering for some aswell. Appreciate this to reflect. Peace
06:09 We really can connect and become close friends with people who have similar suffering as us not with people who are better or worse than us. If i did not know what suffering is then I would never connect with anyone
But i HAVE helped myself. I got off drugs. I improved my life alot through self help. You're right though, the happiness doesn't last. Then i feel like i need to fix something else. Ok, i get it. The mind is holding onto solutions. Oh, the hundreds of self help books I've read. Still no permanent answers. The mind is a mf. It's never satisfied is it? Nope. Great video. Thanks.
The unpleasant feeling of suffering is from the belief of separation. Human vs earth. Realize we are earth and the shackles of suffering become nothing.
This plus your last video earned 2 likes and a sub. I sat and thought about how many monks don't reach buddhahood. That to dedicate your life entirely to something doesn't make a full circle. To focus on a present moment that isn't there is the reason why the present is suffering. There is no experience outside of experience, even an attempt to not experience is thusly sought. I realized the effortless action I thought I was seeking was no seeking. I would claim to have learned something new, but discoveries are reclamations of self, and the ego is profound, but nothing. a profound nothing is perfect, but not perfected as the action (of perfecting) *is* nonetheless, and this Earth is imperfect. The formlessness of self is not an opportunity, nor a test. It is a freedom to unite, because freedom needs no call. To bring your deeds in line with effortless action is to define the ego, sculpting (chiseling, where the word character comes from) the persona, the mask as mentioned here.
🙏🙏🙏🙏That was the most important Thought, wich was missing for my work on a new fundamental tool to describe the way to emotional freedom. Thanks a lot for your great work from Germany 🙋♀️
The end of suffering is the realization that there is no "self" to help. There is only the SELF, which is oneness. By embracing suffering, we return to humility, which is the essence of SELF. It is the loss of SELF in the self that is the cause of all suffering. The human experience is like a house of mirrors. That's "me" in the mirror on the right, no, that's me in the mirror on the left, no...that's me in the mirror in back of me... all of this equals suffering. Turn your eyes inward and see who is looking at all of the images in all of the mirrors, and realize that the reflections do not exist, only the witness exists. Know the witness, and you transcend all suffering, all karma, and all duality 🙏
You're right about so much. I was doing everything you say. Not identifying with my thoughts, feelings or emotions. I forgave my Mother and Father. Then I had a supernatural experience and I was born again and had perfect peace. I took my eyes off Jesus though and am suffering again. Jesus is our only salvation. Be still and know God. It is a spiritual battle. I wish you well.
@@ascendor.ascendor It's difficult after experiencing that awareness, love, peace and joy and then losing it. I had it for 6 months. I came across you today as I've been seeking to attain it again. But there is only God's will and if he wants to make me see again he will. I must just trust. What do you think of JLP?
@@timeisforfindingGod He is good, but he can make you feel separate from God and believe that you need to do something to reach peace. Your mind makes you believe that God is not already here. Don’t believe your mind and know that you are already in God.
@@ascendor.ascendor He does say what you do. To do nothing and just watch. He teaches that the Holy Spirit is within you and I know you would agree that of ourselves we can do nothing. I can only speak from my experience. When I forgave my whole life changed. It was so amazing. But then I did something wrong and now I'm back in darkness. Seems to me the bible is true. I can no longer read it anymore or pray as it cuts me deeply. I'll try and not believe the lies of the devil but I'm suffering and I thought if God still loved me he would take it away as he did before. And that's just a thought too so I'll let that pass. 🕊
@@ascendor.ascendor Exactly! I let go of the religious trauma and believe in Jesus..Alone! He Saved me From the religious trauma..as He Did the people in His Day.
That's how my biggest awakening happened, while having videocall with my mentor my excitement turn into anxiety that consume me followed by panic attack i couldn't spell simple sentence i felt so inadequate so frustrated so embarrassed...before ending the call he sad you need to stay with that feeling with compassion, you can ask yourself how are feel but don't think about the answer, looking for answer from you body, stay with the feeling, My mind was terrified screaming a can't let myself down feeling like that let's check in internet ....do something. .. what i,m doing, how body can give the answer...... Simply rejected it again and again been on the mission to stay with the feeling never mind how uncomfortable and uncertainty it feel at first After hour +- begin feel better so unexpectedly peacefully there was no single thinking crossing my mind after second hour i was doing nothing but enjoying BEEN in the present moment aweke alive every sense was so sharpen feeling my body see wider, brighter colour's like hiper focused without trying to focus anything, just there was no more disturbance, nothing that could distract me, i had no desires to change single think everything was more than perfect in the simpliest moment just becouse there was no more thinking disurbing the peace at that moment i couldn't influence me at all wouldn't follow it Wake up next day ego and thinking take back control by evolving splitting itself creating new enlighten ego arguing with old ego engaging me in that inner conflict 😢
The first and the last lesson, the supreme teaching is nothing, just silence. The ultimate realisation is that there is no need to practice anything. But to feel this lesson, or sentiment you need to practice. This is the great paradox. There is no need to practice, but you need to practice to learn that there is no need to practice. When I say practice I am talking about meditation, sitting in silence, sit down and give up, surrender to nothing. Reality scares me and i need to believe in God.
I would like to congratulate you with your ascension! Your video triggered me, but I don’t know to what extent, and I am now crying without a reason after watching it. Did you cry when your ego died? Or it’s just Kriya…
I suffer tremendously when I see the suffering of people and animals at the hands of humankind. This pain is painfully overwhelming because I can't stop their suffering. How can I stop this pain which is eating into me? Some spiritual teachers promote detachment but I have tried to distance myself from it but can't turn a blind eye to it.
Hi, Sue. It's exactly the same for me. Except, the people can expire, the more-the better. I don't know who or what came up with this bad joke of humanity, the world, this whole bad theatrical play that we call life, but a great purge is needed because us, humans, are the worst thing that our human brain can conceive of. But I can't stand the suffering of the animals, flora and fauna, in general. It drives me mad. The pain. And to accept that "Everything is the way its supposed to be, just be a witness, observe silently, be detached". God damn it! How can anyone remain blissfully detached at the site of a stray kitten dying of hunger on the side of the road, meowing and looking up at you! Most people are bastards, so they walk on by. But I am dying inside. 😢
@@avivit1183 I cannot understand why Ascendor (aka?) doesn't respond to this issue we have regarding our own suffering when observing the suffering of the fauna and flora caused by humankind. If we all meditated it wouldn't stop people's cruelty. I feel all I can do is continue to support various charities and NGOs working to alleviate such cruelty. By remaining detached isn't a method which resonates with my soul.
@@suegriffiths5562It’s all a scam. Everything uses your emotions to feed the fear which is you and money. You giving money to whomever will not solve it. Rather, not giving money and accepting would actually solve the problem because then there wouldn’t be something to solve or pay for. You have attached to this for some reason, whether it is because something happened to you or you are pushing something away. Accept that what is happening is happening whether you pay attention to it or not. It is happening for a reason and you can observe or be a part of it. You can do both, or neither.
Absolutely gorgeous. I do not believe in improving or digression. Only re-forming of the judgements and labels. Getting better or getting worse is a reorganization then evaluation.
Liberation does not care about your peace or suffering. Thats a good line. It would be bice if you gave more of a biographical account of these occurrences.
No this can't be true!!!111 If I was truly enlightened, I would be able to levitate! Jk, much love from your neighbour (germany) May you enjoy your suffering, as much as I do mine
