I find true peace and joy whenever I empty my mind of all thought and the emotions attached. It is truly rejuvenating.

Thank you for this enlightening video. Isn’t amazing how cute animals, pets or wild, have the ability to erase instantly any negative state of mind we may be in? It’s like our sense of identity suddenly dissolves in an undifferentiated ocean of love where there’s no sense of ‘I’ any longer. I love those moments with my old little dog ❤

When I was 3 years old I remember the moment I came to the understanding I was a person in world. I also realized I was given a name but that it did not constitute what or who I was. It was just a name. I used to get in trouble with my dad because I didnt respond to it as a boy sometimes. His ego went thought of it as disrespect. I simply wasnt attached to it in a way that caught my attention immediately. I never lost sight of this. To this day I still feel that same space I discovered as a young boy with a curious mind. A beginners mind

Simple, clear solution how to stop suffering, thank you Jason❤🙏

Excellent post! You’re so right. Identification with the body and the persona are the root of all suffering. Thank you for reminding us of this great truth.

Really love the way you analyze things in it's basic forms, honestly I Lost my rythym in the spritual journey Thanks for giving me better clarity

Consistently excellent education in Eastern Spirituality practice. Namaste 🕉️💜🙂

Speech should meet three filters, being true, being kind, and better spoken than unspoken. This teaching certainly met all three. Thank you.

Great knowledge on our false self image and abide as our true Self. Thank you brother. Excellent service! Shanti Shanti Shanti. I love it. Be blessed

This is among the highest secret knowledge that is discernable. Watch the video and listen carefully, and repeat. If you didn't get everything, repeat till you get it. Jason is one of the best in churning the eastern spiritual knowledge to give you the essence in a language you can understand.

Listening to you, Jason, is becoming a daily practice! Thank you!!!🙏🙏🙏

Dissolution of the egoic self-image creates a beautiful harmony in the realization of our pure nature. The more of us that go inward to understand this knowledge on an experiential level, the more we can overflow our being outward to others and naturally lead by example. We flow like water and sway to the dance of Life, rooted in gratitude and compassion we know it to be a perfect, imperfect entropy that is a balance of All That Is. Thank you, Jason, for being a true pioneer of this gift that is the knowing (and the journey) of our true, tranquil existence.

Jason - wow! Bam! Nailed it once again. Thanks for this vid. Really grateful you’re in the world, offering clear water to all those drinking the Kool Aid. May all be free from their mental obscurations and abide in the liberating light of truth and wisdom. Bodhicitta now; compassion for all! Shanti shanti shanti! 💕🙏 👍🏼

Thank you Jason, this world needs more content like this. One incredible thing that I find is that my identity with the material is stronger in some parts of my life, in others I truly feel I am Brahman. And even when I identify more with the ego Brahman never changes, it's watching. Now I am in a part of my life that when I go into ego mode I stop and remind myself what I truly am, and is beautiful, it's always here. It's awful when I forget, but that's the way of things.

Hey Jason! Thank you for an excellent reminder! Watching this video makes start of the day way more calm and pleasant!

Great video; yep, even more important if you are an intuitive empath/HSP to practice these techniques; please keep sharing your positive vibes Jason, it is appreciated. Namaste!

Im not sure how to ask this question but I am finding that there is a couple conflicting thoughts in my head with whats being said ( which it seems like there is alot of paradoxical statements in the Tao which is perfectin itself). So here is my question: if we shouldnt be concerned with the world, this and that, and let people just be, then would people still do better by the earth? Is trying to spread information on how to be better to the earth or live a healthier life a form of Maya? Where is this line drawn? Also your videos and wisdom have helped me so much so thank you for that.

I so loved this episode. Brought home concepts from yoga that is often not taught in yoga studios. Thank you for another great share.🙏🏽

The sky looked ok today the trees looked ok today the sea and the ground looked ok. Then i switch on the news and realised I must be completely deluded because everything is completely evil.

that's a good point about people not knowing about things outside in the past. social media and widespread news cycle is fairly new.

Thanks Greg, this was really good. I Love your channel. Bless your Heart Always, from BC, Canada. I'm sharing this ! : )

Insightful look into the mind. We would see the things as they are 🙏

Absolutely beautiful explanation. Thank you for teaching so much! 🙏🏾

For the longest time I felt my identity was only a mask that I needed to wear in order to participate in this theatrical play of life. And I was interacting with others who were wearing masks too, but most of them believing that their masks were who they essentially were. Death being simply the discarding of the mask. What lies behind the mask? What is left when you perceive EVERYTHING as "I am not this or that or even that."

Thank you for the reminder Jason! ✨🙏🏽✨💚

nice discussion

As a newborn, you have lived closer to who/what you really are...before being given a name, role, before the successes and failures of life, before beliefs, before concepts, before conditioning, before habits, before self-criticism, before self-judgment, etc...before all self-image and self-conception began.

Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you Jason.

This is very helpful. I like the commentary on Dispassion and thinning out the Ego. Is Equanimity the same as Vairagya?

Are you abiding in your true self? Excellent point 💯%

Thank you Jason for your packed full videos I rewatch and rewatch many blessings ❤

Hi Jason, I love your content! How do you know so much about the Vedas? Are you from New Zealand? Is it possible to meet you in person?

@JasonGregoryAuthor can you talk about "Empahy" in relation to Brahman? You hear people saying people in power do not show empathy and hence do not know what suffering of others mean to them. What Adi Sankara and Buddha have to say about empathy and empathy seekers? Thank you for your enlightening videos.

I have virtually no self image or sense of self. People keep telling me that it’s a problem and I need to work on it. I’ve tried but then it’s just some made up construct that I am always aware isn’t truly me.

Peace just enjoy what you can and Love others as you Love Yourself ❤😂

the brilliant mr Jason Gregory 💫

Tibetan Buddhism speaks of meditation and “no reference point”; I am reminded of this by your discussion today. Very helpful Jason! 🙏

Another great video... Thanks, Jason...

Thanks a lot again Jason for every effort❤

This fictitious self, the ‘me’ can be compared to a cloud-vapor in the sky. The cloud appears, covers up the sun, claiming to be in front of it, not knowing that it was formed from the sun-heat, and for a little while displays all kinds of activities. Look what I can do- thundering, lightning, snow, hail, rain and suddenly the wind comes along, blows it all out, the cloud disappears and the sun shines again. In actuality it never stopped shining, it was just temporarily covered up by the cloud. And when the sun was asked about the cloud the answer was; what cloud? The sun is not aware of any clouds it just shines equally on everything. And so, it is with us. The artificial “false sense of self” assumes separate entity, calls it ‘ME’ thinking that it’s the doer-maker of everything. Where in fact I AM-BEING is the ultimate doer, and we don’t need a proof of that. We know that everything we do, there is I AM in front of it. I AM walking, I AM talking, I AM writing, I AM eating, I AM doing and so on. But there is no walker-only walking, no talker-only talking, no writer-only writing, no eater-only eating, no doer-only doing, there is no one there. So, I AM-BEING-CONSCIOUSNESS is the ultimate reality, (the sun). The egoic mind the “me” I’m this and I’m that, I’m so and so.(the clouds) And notice that there is no difference in mankind, male and female says I AM just the same. We understand physical and psychological difference of female body, male body, female psyche, male psyche, but I AM always remaining the same and that goes for all the people all over the world. Do you know anybody who doesn’t say I AM? -the language might be different that’s all. Knowing this being, awareness of I AM, it destroys all divisions among us, humans. The division comes from the ‘ME’, separate “illusory sense of self”, not from I AM. So, I AM is life-our-existence, cosmic energy, consciousness, the immovable mover ,call it what you like, in its pristine state as-I AM. It’s not an Enigma, and is so close, it is within us, nothing is more intimate than I AM. As long as we don’t add anything to it. When I say I’m John, I’m a carpenter, I’m a doctor, I do this for a living, I have experience in this or that, there is no danger in it. It only describes something. But when we say I’m proud, ambitious, good, nice, the best, succeeded, achiever, superman, very important and many other fictitious labels, then it becomes separate illusory self with no existence of its own and so much trouble as a result. I AM doesn’t say this, it is the voice of the ‘ME’- person. Remember the allegory of a cloud-vapor?

Perfect! Thanks a lot!

Just be as you truly are ,let there be peace let there be love for all beings universal namaste 🙏 om 🕉 shanti shanti shanti 🙏 🕉 thank you 😊

I always need to remember that if I am triggered, I'm not truly awake. When I embrace the triggering, I am choosing the three poisons of ignorance, attachment, and aversion. Names and labels are many, but truth is one!

Similarities between Jung psychology and Eastern spirituality is striking!!

Ive changed a LOT…this is because I got off opiates and got clean and then entered into a journey of enlightenment so there’s no way I could stay the same through this process.

Thank you 😊

Beautiful and insightful...

Can you do you video on the spiritual take on depression, genetics, control/agency.

no spear me for this... but is there a way to know you are that supreme detached being, but also find a way to enjoy this reality. or just feel that joy no matter what? lol awesome information

So without self image, when there is undifferentiated consciousness, is that my mind being still or is that is the universal mind? Or are they both the same? Why does it only see this part of the world I am looking at?

Exactly..👏👏👏...awesome Truth....🙏🕉🙏

The “great” Ken Wilber wrote a book in which he excoriated *that* President. Very disappointing.

Good discussion, good explanation

Awesome!

spot on!

Take a breath and hold it, FOREVER. Can't do it? That's because, everything we take we must give back. EVERYTHING.

Humans are adaptive and evolutionary. Otherwise, humanity shall have perished since time immemorial! 😊 When Confucius met a farmer during his countryside exclusion, who told him ( to paraphrase), _"Kung Tzu, don't try to set the world to One's order because the World can always set itself to order all the time since time immemorial. Otherwise humanity shall have perished a long, long time ago!"_ Confucius was stunned by the wisdom of the farmer. 😊

Thanks Jason

Idk if this has anything to do with not having images in the mind in the sense that he’s speaking of, but as long as I can remember, I have had aphantasia. I can’t visualize or see any mental pictures. It always used to bother me because I would try to remember what something looks like, or try to picture something nice and relaxing but it never works. Now if only I could get rid of the language and talking in my mind, I would find peace lol

🙏

No agendas just life and love my dudes

100%, Jason. The persona is definitely the biggest obstacle on the spiritual path. Here's what's even sadder, in a more worldly sense: I remain politically engaged on issues involving economic inequality, but I'm always trying to explain to people that, because our government has been completely captured by corporate interests, there are no electoral solutions to the mess the US (and most of the world) is in. Congress doesn't serve us, they serve the capital order, the owner class and multinational corporations. That's the merger of corporate and government power, called corporatism, but aka, fascism. There are zero regulations of the market (a legitimate function of government, imo) but yet increasing regulations on our personal autonomy, or lack thereof. Women don't even have rights to their own reproductive organs!! These are important subjects, imo, but unfortunately people are distracted by all this culture war BS, arguing over pronouns and bathrooms. I think humans are awesome, but society is insane. ✌❤🔥👁

You will never kill the ego while you're in this realm. Ego is integral part of it. However, you could befriend and subside it so it doesn't interfere with your life.

Especially useful perspective while gazing into the face of potential nuclear annihilation and trying to understand the mental state and motivations of the "powers that be" who are apparently literally psychotic.

❤ Then what happens to our existing personality and individuality???

Identity and Ego are two separate things. Your basic identity setup is defined by your energy signatures at birth. You can't just get rid of that. However, we do create an ego that we align with the world, instead of with our higher self, that needs put in check.

SHANTI SHANTI :)

One of my fav videos from u

Thank you so very much kind sir 😊

Recent scientific studies have also said that identity does not exist.

This is the ultimate aim of Hinduism breakibg the ego and then findings the real Atman.... Carl Jung was heavily inspired from Hindu Ideas and you will see lot of common grounds. I agree but I will still not everyone has to be detached. The world has to continue because even that Maya is part of that infinite being. So, either you leave this world get detached and have no ego. Or you live as karmyogi where you know in reality this is temporary journey but still be part of it. You know ego and Maya but still be part of it. The idea is to be being of highest value and following Dharma . This is why their are few spiritual seekers and most are living their life but the choice is yours to live blindly my life, world, this is reality or you know it's illusion. In the end even the person with highest spirituality gift would have ego and attachments and this will only end when the body is destroyed and for most this goes on for life..

We fundamentally have two identities. That which God gave us which has function and purpose, and that which we make of ourselves which is gauged by our accomplishments...

🙏💯

Every soul has unique experiences throughout lifetimes, which would in a sense be an identity. I think the biggest thing is getting people to understand that they aren't humans but souls having a human experience. An atheist who thinks he's human but doesn't know he's a soul would be a mistaken identity.

Fantastic. I get this talk.

@Jason "those phrases" are called KOANs in Zen Buddhism

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks Thanks Thanks

Meditate without Thoughts, which are made of Language and Images-otherwise known as “Stream of Consciousness.” Naming and affixing images into things before we can experience them is a form of veiling it into knowledgeable chunks of information (The Matrix) instead of letting the expanse of reality-in its full glorious mystery-cascade down into our very being. 🙏🏻😊

I agree❤😊

Our identity was already waiting for us before we were born. We were poured into it at birth.

Self image is real. But it comes to you when your at your most relaxed and peaceful States. Your self image is the natural flowing energy when your at you calmest. The thing is that most of us are experiencing our self image every day. Just by being you. And not forcing it. So yes self image is real but you have to let it come out right.

Thanks!

❤

❤🙏

Everyone is different. Each person creates his or her unique reality and there are no rules that apply to all people. Each person is able to create their personal reality according to the individuals beliefs about reality. You are not the same as anyone else. Nor should you be teaching anyone what anyones identity or self-image is. You are one of many selves that your inner self is. My inner self and your inner self are not the same. Although you could say we are all made of All That Is… All That Is purposefully released parts of him/itself so that we could express ourselves as All That Is in as many infinite worlds as possible and use our consciousness with wild abandon, creating worlds and being differing identities. It’s not important to teach someone to think like yourself. This is quite narrow minded and there is no emptiness in fact there are infinities of identity that you get to choose to identify with. What you are striving for is not creativity not life giving. To believe you are nothingness, is not helpful. And quite frankly it would be a very boring existence to be an unchanging state of nongrowth. So please don’t teach people to become nothingness. We are already free so trying to be free is defeating your self.

meanwhile west: i identify as....

With all respect, I disagree. I believe you are not seeing the full picture 🙏🏻

Enlightened. Orange man bad. Unenlightened. "Doh!" (said in a Homer Simpson voice)

I don't know if you're familiar with Joscha Bach? Philosopher & computer scientist. I dropped the Maya point of view, at 44. Just like that, it happened, without any intention on my part. I had to enquire a lot AFTER it happened to understand what exactly has changed.

So are you saying that we should be antisocial?

You see people being hurt how do you feel?

Amazing philosophy, Have you ever considered God's Sat-Nam (True Name) The Tetragrammaton YHWH; HaiYah.😶‍🌫️ IAM that; The IAM /The All in All as revealed to Moses 😵‍💫🤯 (Exodus 3) and Paul the Apostle's Realization of Stillness in absolute Surrender (in Galatians 2:20) "It is no longer I that live but Christ that lives in Me, and this life I live in the flesh(Maya) I live in the splendid Hope of Christ Who loved me and died for me.🌝🤯 Truth Echoes out into Eternity

I haven't changed since I was 14 years old.

People are different, as well as Humans are social animals. So it isn’t a problem.

well, i understand that umbalancing yourself because of political bias it isnt the right posture to follow on a spiritual path, howerver ignoring the hole destructive path MAYA enjoyers are weaving to existence is not a spiritual path either, take for exemple on mahabarata when arjuna is afflicted by the situation that he is put on and Krishna comes to hes aid to enhance hes perspective of reality. So alienation of materiality has its role on breking espiritual path.

Your identity, your personality is totally false as it consists wholly of past. As in reality (in the NOW) there is 'No Past'.

There are only stories out there.
