The Way To Love by Anthony De Mello | Aubrey Marcus Podcast Books #1 

Video quality and lighting is excellent 👌👌 and I love the book talk idea!

Good job Aubrey. You got the gist of his teaching. i like to monitor myself these days using the "status seeking meter" Pay attention to attachments, procrastination and also impulse buying as well. Those will lead you baxk to the soul's workshop where the deprograming work can start. DeMello zoomed in on a core human tendancy that garantees our enslavement that forces we simply need to recognize and look in the eye without using our favorite evasion tricks.

Thank you Aubrey - This format develops someone in a short period, when listening.

I like it, but I’m not going to get attached hahaha. No but really. I’m a GIANT nerd. Always reading and looking for my next book, so keep them coming. 💕🦋

Such a great idea for a series! Thank you Aubrey 🤟🏻

🙌🏼🙌🏼💛🌞💛🌞💛🌞

Anthony DeMello's "Awareness" was my original introduction to Eastern Philosophy. Years later, in the stress of over-work I read, "The Heart of the Enlightened," reminding me to slow down at a time my life was only speeding up. It inspired me to head to Southeast Asia and study meditation, Buddhism, Hinduism, and yoga. DeMello is still my incredible bridge between Christian and Hindu thought. Makes me happy to see you, someone who got me through the stress of Silicon Valley life when I did return to Western life, reading him now. Thank you for using youtube as a space to slow down enough to listen to the words of a book

His book Awareness changed my life.

I like the idea of this series - the short, focused discussion is a great idea!

This is pretty fantastic! I wouldn’t have found or read this book on my own, therefore, I’ll see you next week!

Love you Aubrey Marcus! This book is FIRE !! Also loved the Dr Joe Dispenza interview!!!!

Getting the book right now, thanks Aubrey. Very insightful episode

What I always loved about Demello is that he does not spend much time or any time describing fantastic states and stuff like pumping your chakras so you can become happy until the day you drop. He gives us a lot of reminders about the pile of chains we carry while begging for scraps of freedom. One of his favorite theme is our addiction to gold medals and various forms.of approval addiction. As for his description of the awakened states he is.often in alignment with other humble masters like Thich Nat Han. You will stop looking beyond grass and flowers and you will start to see.things you have never seen before... maybe a bit like Blake the.poet who saw the world.in a grain of sand.

I am excited to see how this format works out.

Beautiful message! Thank you! Blessings..🌄🏞🌈🌹🌼🌸

Currently I am enjoying his book Awareness. God bless him

Love this book.. I bought copies of The Way to Love all my friends a few years back. Good to hear it again.

This will be a great series. I love it!

Beautiful reading,. im going to go release a few attachments now. ;-)

Love it man! That is a challenging text right there but very important, much easier said than done..thanks for the great content!

Great video, I really enjoyed it and I look forward to the upcoming videos. Thank you Aubrey!

Love it. After all these years of spiritual work, advancement, understanding. I just realized I still have attachments 🤣. I really needed to hear this today. 🙏

Thank you Aubrey. I watched this a couple times and will probably watch it many more. I’m in a new relationship and the anxiety started springing up in my consciousness. Your experience and words put me at ease and help me understand that it’s all okay. This is exactly the talk I needed in my life. Thank you Aubrey 🙏🏼

so major. always appreciate your transparency even though you and Anthony just smashed my whole world. thanks-I think.

Best idea i have come across in so long! Well done my man! This was a great 17 minutes have to read this book now for myself. Thank you!

Thank you brother ! 💖

Great new format to deliver a message. 👍 Keep it up buddy

Wow… your lovely. I just found you!

Amp books...brilliant idea and great choice for first reading...very close to AMP’s vision/voice.. Thanks Aubrey for making me aware of this book

Omg this has been the best first 17 minutes I’ve spend in this lovely morning, oh and by the way, this idea of reading and talking about the message of the aturhor, is pure abundance 🙏🏽🫶🏽

Wow! Really love this concept Aubrey. This is 3 years old and I had no idea you had this concept lol I love your voice and your tonality when you read! I could listen to your voice with books all day! And yes, this book is brilliant, thank you 🙏

Really great idea

Anthony De Mello‘s writings have changed (and are still changing) my life. Highly recommended!

good idea good execution

ABsolutely awesome

Thank you. I’ve listened to this a dozen times and sent it to several friends. It allowed for great conversation.

beautiful

Thank you Aubrey! Love you bro. Thanks for giving us this heartfelt moment and in doing so bringing some inspiration to the world. AwoooO! 💙

Love it bro. Can't thank you enough for the constant inspiration. Gonna get this book asap. Your message in your recent newsletter about desire as in this video that you are enough here and now is one of the most important messages that will make this world a better place.

❤️ Anthony De Mello, Rupert Spira, Francis Lucille, Mooji, Jean Klein. Same message different styles.❣️

Man.. this teaching came back into my life EXACTLY when I needed it. Thank you for sharing this Aubrey!

I heard of Anthony de Mello years ago from reading a Brennan Manning book. I enjoy your perspectives and when I first heard de Mello some 5 years ago, “my” Boxer was dying on the couch and I knew it. I’d like your discernment on this but the next morning when I carried his or a body to the car to go the vet, I knew that he would not make it. He calmed down an hour or so before he went limp yet still breathing. I wonder if grace and his doggedly loving determination kelp him from leaving a body because of an awareness that I was observing. This quote resonated with me and I am processing through an awakening and there’s been feelings of anxiety. It’s strange because I used to talk about stuff to look good, trying to convince myself. To teach best what I most needed and continue to be willing to unlearn. I recall hearing him say that if and when you want to be happy, to drop our fears, illusions and attachments. I’m sick of pretending and trusting the process is imperative. Avoiding the AS SOON AS _______ then I’ll be happy. Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic as Richard Rohr references I’m feeling feelings that I’d suppressed with distractions and the way it’s playing out really does appear to be surreal and zero coincidences Got divorced little over a year ago and my dad passed in August 2021. And I choose not to diminish or beef up the histrionics for pity. I do know that I don’t know - You’re not living until it doesn’t matter a tinker’s damn to you whether you live or die. At that point you live. When you’re ready to lose your life, you live it.
-Anthony de Mello (INDIAN-BORN AMERICAN THEOLOGIAN) I feel confused and uncertain and the caricature the “me” armored my self image is dissolving and it’s surrendering to what is. A feeling of abandonment

I do have control of my surrounding ! Everything is a mirror of my energy ! ✌

absolutely, great life perception ! ... but i don't think it's applicable to every single situation ... f.e. exact relationships (caring, supply, devotion, sacrifice etc. > blooming life/love) .. yeah, by dealing with infidelity, you can apply this 'technique', but not 'allow her sleep with others' bc: you do exactly long after one who devotes completely to you - it's not just ur mind 'claiming full loyalty', but the very truth in the depth of ur heart/soul: the more one surrenders to One, the better the outcome (decisions like vows are exactly not depending on feelings, but the given promise); u either devote to your lover, or yourself/ego (meaning the crucial situations)

Guess what that’s been my favorite book since I was 15 years old and I’m turning 47 soon and I’ve trimmed in a little bit to your channel here and there but now I fuck with you bro I really appreciate where you’re coming from and I could definitely know that I’m cut from the same cloth your cup from it’s about living the thanks so trust me on this one you’re onto something the ancestors speak through us it’s not so much the cellular memory of our upbringing the attachments that have been formed in this one life or just a glimmer of the lessons if we sync

I love Anthony De Mello. The only issue with his books that have been published posthumously is that there's some repeated passages. Great stuff though!

Thank you, I know Anthony De Mello from Wayne Dyer's book. Love what you do and the message of non-attachement ;)

Recently discovered your AMP books collection. LOVE it! are you going to be doing this again?

As the Buddha Dharma maintains: Attachment is the root of all suffering.

Thank you for sharing. perfect timing a day after my own transition thank you for the peace of mind.

beautifully ended thanks Aubrey!

Can't wait to see more of these. Would love to see readings from some of you and your group's all-time recommendations too!

Love this! Attachment=suffering

Shame for this uninformed guy to use Anthony de mello in this way. I’m sure the Franciscan priest that de mello was would not want to be used in this way.

This is pretty awesome! Keep up the good work!

Does that particular book come with a magnifying glass for us middle agers? 😆

Awareness on the way to love his best books the weight of love are used to like five years to prayer works for hours spent time in nature closest I’ve ever been to being religious even though I went to Catholic school half my life is a joke

I enjoyed this a lot. Thank you Aubrey

And the story of the rickshaw driver wow cried when I first read that I cried when I first opened up the way to love in my 20s it spoke to me so well

Awesome video Aubrey!! Love this new format

Awsome read wow.

Buddha... Attachments / non judgment - siurrender... etc.

Thank You Aubrey Marcus. You are Whole. You are Enough. You. Just as You Are. Right Now. Thank You Aubrey Marcus. Namasté.

Keep doing these dude! I was fucking 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Thank you, you are putting new kind of light on my life

Good stuff!

awakening thought. Why is that so hard to apply in real life?

Boom! This was bloody rad Aubrey! Quality all round. Really nicely put across! Generated a lot of introspection in a non judgemental way. Much appreciated sir! 🌞👌🙏

Dude, I am your subscriber now... Great content, Sadly I got that book around 2012, I didn’t finish it because I didn’t understand the book 📖 back then... Now that I read more about, De Mello, Tolle, osho, krishamurti, Sadhguru, I understand life different... now I see thinking with more clarity... and yes (deprogramming is important) Thank you for sharing brother!

An inspiring life philosophy you have. 👍🏼 My life journey to date exactly. Simplifying life, and thinking outside the square, without succumbing to social pressures. Surfing a-lot. Happy hobbies. Health & Fitness near the ocean air. Thirst for Knowledge. Native American Spirituality. And working in a profession I'm passionate about.

I was looking for this book online for a friend and just found your reading. Beautiful teacher. I give this book away along with Pema Chodron's "When Things Fall Apart". Thanks for your work.

I needed to hear all of this.

First of all, thank you so much for providing this reflection. I love the format, short, sweet and straight to the point! I came across Anthony De Mello’s books by listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer who often referred this work. Amazing! So glad to hear you speaking about it. Wishing you all the best, brother! I’m so thankful for what you’re doing! 🌻

You really changed my world thank you

Absolutely loved the book summary and your own interpretations. A friend shared this with me and I watched it just in time for a big problem I’m dealing with in life. Thank you! Looking forward to watching more of these!

"The Way To Love" has been a very, very dear friend for the past 30 years now. Yes, small in size it may appear, but as we all know, appearances can be deceptive. If you are in need of a friend for life, one that will open your heart to love - True Love, then start dancing, for herein you have been blessed with just that ❤

your thoughts on de mello is perfect.

He Aubry, wow what an amazing insight the book provided. It opened up a truth that I would not have accepted even a couple of months ago. You've inspired me before with books like stealing fire and gave insights into my own dive in the unknown of other realms opened by psychedelics. Its great knowledge that inspired and inspires me to keep on walking the path that I more and more often feel towards than the thinking that used to propel my decision making in the past. The small peace off carefully chosen storytelling that you offered us fits into my rewrite of my story, uncovering my attachment of a past love that I thought I still loved. In meditation a few weeks ago I connected to the anker it represented, fearful of loosing the fictitious person living in my mind I made sure never to confront the reality of the now. With painful memories its much more obvious to release the old and accept the current awesomeness of the now. Today I'm nostalgically grateful for the chapter it represents in my ever unfolding story of life, awesome to get new perspectives trough the sharing of your inspiration.

I have met the Author.... In India Gujarat a very humble man he is still alive and lives in Ahmadabad. I have had an opportunity to have a conversation with him. A lovely Jesuit. Aubrey is it possible to get him in your podcast? I feel it'll be great because he has few of his years left here on earth.

I adore and I am attached to this book. I am sharing this book with someone who needs it as ran across this book talk. I love your analysis, description, and interpretation. Right on! 🥰🙏🏼🤩

Thanks for the read Tom Hardy 👍

Subscribed. Bell notification. I was captivated for the whole video. Thank you so very much!

In a spiral of jealous thought I felt it was justified just by being a belief. I felt that there was something missing to give this feeling of jealousy the correct perspective. Not in the sense to escape this jealous thought to delude myself of the the negative emotion, but because it wasn’t truth, just a belief. Why would I let it control my life if it brings about such needless suffering. Instead, I choose truth. Thank you Aubrey :)

Nice thanks 😊

you have a calm way of talking that makes people feel welcome, I listen to all your podcasts. Thanks for promoting kindness and love, it's much needed in a world of give and take. People have this responsibility to themselves that gets lost when they cannot express it to themselves and to others. There's a lot of room for growth in showing this potential to people. What a light

Thank u Aubrey! This was great, you and your content keep getting better, more lovely and divine. God bless my brother 🙏💜

amazinggggg , love this new series and i compleatly agree with what you read... thank you for sharing, allways such a pleasure to look at your content ! it truly has made me ask myself those questions, and to allways remember we are whole even in times when we don't feel like it. for me right now i was so attached to my job as a yoga teacher and when i had to leave the place i teached i started to feel like without that i wasnt even me... so i totally realated to what you say here... again, juust thank you for everything you do.

Love this. You took the best part of philosophy class and made it something for everyone. No tests is nice...well I guess the real test is life. Damn wait this is the hardest part of philosophy class. Now I have to live it! Thanks Aubrey!

Beautiful video. Simply wonderful. Thank you for making this

Thank you Aubrey. This reading was exactly when and where I needed it to be to reach an epiphany and remove yet another illusion. Namaste

Glad I gave this a chance. Looking forward to all your readings... Thank you.

De mellow is such a bright light

You're the best. Love listening to your experiences!!! Keep doing what you're doing.

Love it, as narrated by Aubrey
