Hey y'all my name's Ben. I'm a passionate guy with many deep curiosities. Currently in a Clinical Mental Health Masters program at Naropa University with a concentration in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology.
I explore many BIG topics and questions, such as: "how do we live the best lives possible"? A difficult question to answer, and what does that even mean?
Integrating buddhism, meditation, and numerous other lesser known practices into the western view of the mind and mental health. Ultimately to further our understanding of how answer what is ultimately an unanswerable question: "How do we live our best lives."

Any Ego or sense of Identity that will ever hold "who we are"... is a mental construction. 🏗️ Though these mental constructs are felt/experienced as "real" (whatever that even means) Although we may solidify certain narratives, this is only story of solidity, a story we constructed again we experience this solidity as "real".... but we created it in our minds... so how real is it? 🤔 Anatta = No...

Where are the Problems?
Переглядів 46День тому
We often get obsessed with problems. But where are the problems? Fr show me... All problems are built in the mind. And the more we focus on problems the stronger they get. What we put our attention on gross into a bigger part of our experience. If we focus on the breath, we simplify the mind, and focus on a direct experience back to the present moment. With practice, the experience of problems ...

Freedom from fear IS POSSIBLE! Here are some tips I review in the video: 1) Questioning our Beliefs and Assumptions 2) Challenging Fear (Looking it in the Eye) 3) Becoming familiar with the Experience of Fear (Thoughts, Bodily Sensations, and Contraction of Psyche) 4) Developing a Healthy Relationship with the Experience of Fear 5) Ultimately... Opening, allowing, and holding the unpleasantness...

Duffy Benjamin we need to be together you cartao
I live in constant fear and worry. It's literally debilitating. I am 49 and it seems the last few years have seemed so filled with doom. I know in the very moment of my fear that it is useless. Thank you.
Yeah, no man. That the new age believe system. I don't think population control or going green is in benefits of a person I need to live with.
There’s a difference between disagreeing with my neighbor and having them believe I don’t deserve to be classified as a human being
You mean like when the left tried to deperson and wanted to cage anyone who didnt want to take the experimental gene juice a few years ago?

Hi, someone from across the ocean here. Im really sorry for you and I want you to know that we are fucked as well bc of the election. So at least we are all fucked together
As someone more right leaning, most do not feel that way. Disagreements, yes. But as someone raised in a conservative family, everyone is human no matter how much you disagree. Same with skin color, gender, sexuality, etc. We are all still human. I am sorry if you have ever felt that someone believes that or people have made feel that way.
Where U at where it's snowing, bro'?

He is talking about what true Christianity is supposed to look like. Not the weak, fake, judgemental dress-up Christianity that is being peddled today. True Christianity is sacrifice in service to those in need.
Well spoken, I liked How do we live to die on Peace

I swear upon everything that is holy, that as I was Googling "laundry sheets" a notification popped up about this video on UA-cam....
You know what's really f*cking weird! I am sitting at the table just finished eating a pancake and I used the EXACT same syrup. This is really messed up
Ohhhh looks like you're chugging a good healthy brand! The real deal 😋
Ur cute
"I love this, and I don't want anything else" -- oh yes, yes sir! True words friend.
I swear I never know what topic you'll bring up next, but I'm always excited about each one. Mountains are sneaky -- they look so calm, solid and silent, but they're secretly quivering and beckoning: "ascend me"!!!! 😁 🏔️ Their call must be obeyed.
I feel like running up a mountain! but in reality I'd probably only get 30 feet max before collapsing, I definitely need to exercise more!
