Hey there, I'm Gary, and I have been guiding people for the past 25+ years in changing their belief systems and emotional reactions to create personal change and be happy.
I started out my personal journey after ending an emotionally abusive relationship and ending a career in which I was completely burnt out from being at work 80+ hours a week.
Guided by the profound teachings of my mentor: author and shaman Don Miguel Ruiz, under whom I studied and apprenticed for 10 years, I learned how to be happy and live at peace in the world again, with unconditional love for myself, and others.
Today I help people like you achieve the same.
I am the author of the book "MindWorks: A practical guide to changing thoughts, beliefs, and emotional reactions".
And creator of the Self Mastery Course: a course that teaches you the practical exercises and techniques needed to change your negative thoughts, and emotions and be happy.

What Is The Ego? A Spiritual Shamanic Perspective
Great Advice for someone who feels like they're "starting over" at 59 years old.
@@EricOutler I'm 48, and starting over from a 22yr marriage, having to leave the family home, leaving my 3 sons and everything I owned..... All I had was the clothes on my back, my phone and my debit card.... She ended our relationship on the 23rd of December last year for another man, it put me homeless 2 days before Christmas. Been the toughest 11mths of my life!
@theswedenproject3340 very sorry to hear that. I also experienced something similar with my ex wife. I'm happy to say that I am now happily remarried
@@EricOutler that's nice to hear Eric..... Hearing others good outcomes from a situation similar to which I currently am facing, provides inspiration that life can get better. My marriage left me feeling worthless, rejected and unlovable.... But i know we are the creators of our own personal reality, and this year has been the journey to uncover my own limiting belief system template, so i can create happiness for myself. I know we create what we are and not we want, so I'm on a journey to uncover who I am, so i can change me to create what I want. Ive had many working experiences, and been creating businesses since I was 19, but at the moment, I've felt stuck in what to do next..... I have also been diagnosed with adhd this year, which explains my hyper focus on things I'm interested in, and my inability to perform well in things I am not.... My main objective right now, is to crate prosperity and financial freedom, for me and my sons.... They are suffering so much under her parenting, to the degree that they are being completely neglected. My youngest has even had a safeguarding issues raised at school, because he has been overheard talking about suicide.... She just down played it, as he didn't realise the the seriousness of what he was saying,,,,, she has spent the last 11mth alienating me from my sons, to where now they are afraid to tell me anything.... It's do heartbreaking to see them go down hill so much, since she kicked me out... Ive felt helpless and powerless because of my financial situation and my inability to provide my sons something better.
I find it really difficult to believe why you havnt got more followers, more views on your videos.... Because the nature of our entire reality is created from our beliefs.....and for what I'm seeing so far, you are providing the knowledge to change our reality, to one in being a deliberate conscious creator of our reality,,,, and who dosnt need that??? I've bought your book, joined your community, and im all in 🤗
Awesome 😎
Thanks 🤗
"It only has as much power as we have lent it". Wow!! What a revelation. My judge is wrong 99% of the time and I still believe him. If my judge was a friend I would NEVER take advice from him or believe anything he says ever. This is a powerful video. Thank you so much!!!
You're very very welcome. I'm glad it hit home
This has really hit home for me as I'm dealing with healing from the break up of a long marriage. I've been stuck in feelings of guilt, hurt, blame, shock.... every emotion you can think of! Watching this video I now feel I can see things differently - it's not just a conceptual realisation but something seems to have relaxed in my body. Thank you! 🙏
Glad to be of help. I suggest you keep going. Do not rest or be satisfied on only one moment of relief. Keep going.
Talking and using the analytical process never does it. Many people talk to basically feed their own egos, and all the talking is like going to hear a motivational speaker, which some get a glow from, but which has no shelf life. Silence, spending time alone, putting one's toys down, and let the work begin-the rest is a distraction-entertainment-which has been going on since the beginning of time, so to speak.
Yes, the real deep work isn't that analytical, but one does need some intellectual intelligence. I agree, the real work is a tremendous effort to weather internal forces of distraction, and temptations of illusions. Not to mention the emotional healing that we have to do in the process.
Love and light ireland ❤❤❤
Wise words, thanks, Gary!
Judge as parasite..uff she can become that! Does help me notice the intention of a parasite.. it's always self preservation. So thinking that could be the toxic side of all parts-- they are trying to stay alive. We have to help show them how.
Yes, you can feed your judge love so that she learns something different and can be an Ally rather than parasite. She won't be a judge anymore but would rather transform to something different.
Thank you for this! Loved the Excalibur story broken down and explained for us.
you are welcome.
Does anyone in this game of deceive the chosen one realize that you are destroying what you built. None of you understand what I’m going thru. I have been being tested just to see how munch shit I can take is so close to putting me in A situation that I can’t survive at this point. I’m at the point of no return.
I'm unsure of what you are saying. What is the game of deceive, and I don't know "who is destroying" "what was built" ? Or how this relates to what you are going through.
❤
❤
It would be great if you could share how to get yourself out of panic.
Hey Kelli, absolutely. That's actually what I help people with for a living and have a course that teaches people how to do that. What to practice practically everyday to change your inner world. Practices that go beyond getting information on UA-cam. You can start with the intro sessions of the course for free here and move on to the full course if it's helpful for you: pathwaytohappiness.com/courses/self-mastery-course-free/ I'm also available there to answer any question you may have as you go through it.
I lost all of my friends today because of my faith. I tried to warn them about their way, but they dont want to listen. So they left me, and now i go no one. I still have God at least, i still hope that they come back to him becuase i really dont want them to suffer in hell for thier choices.
Hmm. I don't try to change my friends beliefs. If someone was trying to change my beliefs, I would feel they didn't respect me or accept me. That's why I don't try to change other people's beliefs. The scenario I was speaking to, was when I didn't do emotional drama, judgments, and victimizations anymore, that some people didn't understand and no longer felt comfortable around me, and so they tried to make me go back to that judgmental way of speaking. Then I felt they didn't accept who I was.
Really awesome video content.
Thank you.
Great Video
Thanks!
❤❤❤
Glad my content is resonating with you and is helpful.
What r u actually teaching that books wont get to
Awareness, observation, attention, sensing, feeling, and agency. They are not the same and the knowledge of books gets in the way. Simply paying attention to the energy of your breath and heart will give you an experience that is different than what you would get from a description in a book.
❤❤❤
Loved the way you broke it down mate.
Thank you.
Thank you for the videos! Also purchased your book it has been a great help!
Glad to hear it! Awesome !!!
Feels disgusting spitting in cup
Of course it does. The question is why? There is nothing intrinsically "disgusting" about it. We do it at the dentist no problem. So what makes it disgusting? IT is how our beliefs were programmed. Which leads to the next question... how else were we programmed to feel when we don't have to really feel that way.
These words spoken reflect my entire childhood to the letter. After listening to this I need to replay it and make sure I am understanding every aspect of it. For once I don’t feel like I need to blame or apologize. This has comforted me so much. I do believe I may finally, after 61 years of life, have a path forward.
Glad to be of help. Peace be with you.
❤
Thank you for this powerful interview. Love the dismantling of the fear matrix, not using fear as an advisor, but seeing it as an obstacle, and healthy fear being converted into awareness to act on.
You are welcome.
:22-:45😂#Itsabsurd and explains much
Glad to be of help.
Thanks, this helped some things click for me. I'm assuming the identities you are referring to here are the "characters" you talk about in your course, correct?
Yes.
Fantastic video ❤👌👌👌
Thanks 🤗
Gary: If you are serious, why not you preach this kind of teaching to the power holders? Why everybody brings fancy udea and dumps to ordinary people who struggle to survive?
I'd be happy to sit with anyone and have a conversation with them. Although, those with the power of money and use it for their own selfishness would unlikely listen. However, if ordinary people listen, and free themselves from their ego, then they would have more power. So, in some ways, I'd rather share these practices and insights with ordinary people. and I apologize if this comes across as dumping fancy ideas on you.
@garyvanwarmerdam1206 : Thank you for your response.You know better than I do how the system works. They are feeding society negative news for conditioning. They breed stress and crisis, but They tell you to think positively. Even though we are responsible for how we respond to situations. We are not the only ones responsible for collective crises. Thank you
❤
Thanks
How would you suggest coming out of a cult mindset that I got sucked into, years back, and lost all my relationships? I constantly feel suicidal 😢
Get some one-on-one help in person. I didn't figure this stuff out on my own, and I haven't met a person who has. Get a therapist, coach, or spiritual guide and start building a new mindset, new relationship patterns, and a new belief system. It may take some trial and error to find the right guide, and you may go through a few of them, but it will be worth it.
Thank you for helping my husband gain some sort of clarity before he passed. The late Ken Shapiro. He shared your books witb everyone he thought needed it. U were his last therapist after spending 1mil on theraphy in his life. He said he wished he had you while spending all that money. Thanks again Sir! ❤❤❤
Glad I could be of service. Peace be with you.
this video is amazing
Thank you.
❤❤❤❤
Thank you.
I am grateful for your willingness to talk about that turning point for you, Gary . It's curious that the voice that told you to leave and just to keep on driving seemed to also be coming from your mind but perhaps from a less traumatised part of the mind. Although you talk about being gaslit by your ex partner, I am almost positive that we can't be gaslight if we didn't learn those beliefs of I must be wrong and if I leave no one else will want me as children. Your ex partner was as you say providing you with an opportunity to start to interact differently with those beliefs rather than as if you were still a child with internalised voices of parents or teachers where you had no other choice but to stay. You don't refer to anything historic and seem to be saying you just learned it from your ex which doesn't feel entirely an ownership of any past trauma that you brought to the relationship . There is a lot on the internet about narcisstic relationships where there's kind of a belief that the narcisst is some irredeemable baddie and the victim "created" this bad experience and so can choose not to create bad experiences in the future by avoiding narcissists . Which is true but it fundamentally leaves out the part the Alanon woman was talking about. How were the traumatised ways that I learned as a child impacting this ex partner ? I'm generalising but men generally have been socialised to shut down emotionally, to kind of withdraw and observe or take a kind of superior or dominant position rather than emotionally expose themselves and that tends to evoke that kind of enraged response from their partners, who also are acting from traumatised responses of abandonment and rejection. Often boys who grow up in very violent physically and emotionally aggressive environments can desperately want to avoid feeling anger and unconsciously create situations where the other person expresses what they feel is not possible for them to do maybe because of their physical size. And I think we all desperately do not want to be like the parent/adults who traumatised us. Patriarchy has not done men any favours in shutting down the self expression that is necessary for true intimacy and women tend to be conditioned to feel that shut door as rejection. I also coped by choosing partners who I felt safer from rejection with but instead at times felt contemptuous and resentful. I am kind of indicating that all of us as adults we are working out our trauma with each other, everyone has some kind of ancestral or cultural imprint. So this idea of I will just go somewhere else to find peace is illusionary especially as our society is more and more traumatised. As is this idea that I will just train my mind - because it can simply another way to avoid feeling vulnerable in equal relationships, Maybe we can get away with it in unequal relationships such as teacher, therapist or parent where we have the power to divert but it will always cause problems in intimacy. I certainly have spent a lot of my life trying desperately to feel emotionally close with men who really were terrified of it. I turned into a therapist/mother sort of role and took on the kind of gaslighting that I subtly hear you doing about your ex. With that awareness going into relationships it is possible to clarify much earlier on, is this person really up for vulnerability and am I ? ....and if so, to work together as a team to assist each other in a less destructive manner. Some ideas anyway. Thank you for the provocation to get clearer about what I feel about barriers to intimacy.
I do agree that the majority of humans are working out, and acting out, many forms of trauma. While I didn't have abusive parents that traumatized me, I didn't develop a great emotional intelligence. But one of the big factors in my development was that I trusted people, and believed them. My partner had been traumatized, and I didn't know that, or how to deal with that. I took her at face value. If she told me something, I trusted and believed her. While she was very bright and aware, and had many helpful insights, she also viewed our dynamics through a trauma lens, and I didn't discern out those comments from the helpful ones. Over time they built up, and I went spiraling down.
Thank you for explaining that - it's very helpful. Namaste
Unfortunately the way boys are socialised in Western cultures is extremely traumatic and counterproductive to successful relationships - that they are taught to subvert any emotion that results in vulnerability into something else, we don't recognise it as traumatic and therefore we also don't recognise how this plays out in intimate relationships. We don't recognise how much this is connected to violence, infidelity, addiction and the rise in the numbers of people remaining single. Contrary to how women are trained to take the responsibility for maintaining relationships from a very early age, men simply are not conditioned to value relationships . They are conditioned to value strength and performance which is the opposite of the vulnerability necessary for successful intimacy. And that strength often is seen as a sort of moral superiority of being unemotional. When in real terms that unwillingness to engage vulnerably is the death throes to relationships. I don't know your situation Gary but everything about how reluctant you have been to talk about your story in the interview and your willingness to lay the blame for that relationship 100% at your partner's door of her trauma mindset suggests to me that vulnerability might be a huge challenge for you and a much more appealing solution to any troubles will then be to focus on discipline of the mind. Indeed that is the story of Western patriarchy and look how well that is going .
FALSE TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your feedback. I'm curious what brings this to your awareness?

Monday June 3rd 2024 Teach them
I'm working on it.
It was great to hear that you have come to a place of expressing the divine here on Earth Gary rather than a bypass into ecstacy. But what does living the divine actually mean ? Especially in the times that we are living in now although sounds like you find them enjoyable so it's possible that you are not at the pointy end of things. Not like the kids mining cobalt for our technology or working as prostitutes so that emotionally unhealthy adults can get something of their needs for intimacy met whilst still holding power. Yes I feel rage on behalf of people whose circumstances have been created by greed and prejudice and who because they are forced into survival mode, just wouldn't ever have time for this egoic stuff. But its also our animal and plant friends, the oceans going to be mined for more oil and minerals, the earth gradually concreted over and everything just taken. Yes there is beauty in the pain, people with courage and compassion - but seriously there's also a lot of self absorbed people only concerned about their little patch. And who is "God" ? It's hard to tell what you mean from your response but implicit in the question is a belief in some spiritual authority figure who will come to our aid. Well all those kids crying themselves to sleep at night praying for relief from Him, how do you think they feel when the shit keeps happening to them. Perhaps they are too much caught up in their victimhood or not genuine enough ?? The Aboriginals girls put into church schools who ran away only to be raped by their employers, wealthy white farmers and then those babies taken away from them - was that not "genuine" enough for God ? The kids committing suicide, the young people not willing to bring babies into the world. I don't buy all this choice to come and play here business whilst that kind of thing goes on on this Earth. That is a denial that humans are responsible for most of the suffering on this planet and those of us enabling the violence and the abuse, are just as responsible as the perpetrators when we focus just on our own little egoic ascension. Part of the reason we are responsible is that we turn our backs caught up in our own self esteem problems. Anyone who is in any way enlightened has got to be feeling so much pain right now at the state of our world because you feel it as you because it is you.... if you are not feeling that, you are caught up in some sort of separation from the whole of Life.
I appreciate your reply. Certainly much to discuss. And perhaps I am completely wrong about all of it, or a lot of it. However, it is my experience. For reference, by God I mean all the matter, energy, light, intelligence, and consciousness of the Universe.
I agree with your definition of GOD as all matter energy which therefore means you and I as humans are both God as are those traumatised children. Which begs the question of what is the responsibility that goes with that divine power or the resource of enlightenment. Because it says to me from that that we are co creating our lives with each other and the planet not just me have a personal ascension into bliss and magically that changes everything elsewhere. I think that is the kind of bullshit we have been programmed by religions with- that spirituality is some kind of individual experience which in a way it is but it is also the collective. I suppose the question I am wrestling with is if enlightenment personally and living in bliss is said to have a profound effect on the world around us, why aren't/haven't we seen the results for all people. animals and the earth ? Even in past times when awakened and ascended masters have lived - things have not changed. It kind of feels like blind trust in faith... which is what religions have traded on to remain as individuals not an interrelational cosmos where it's not just being - it's acting speaking and seeing from that place in the world with the intention of Love in the world, not just the blissed out version of Love but holding people accountable, setting boundaries, speaking up for those that can't speak for themselves. I'm not sure what you mean by "it is your experience" but that phrase kind of communicates a static sort of thing which may not be what you mean at all. It would be good to understand what you do mean.
Thank you. So grounding, daring, and stabilizing in the seas of change and every day.
You are so welcome
Anna, you're the gold whisperer! Thanks for getting Gary to share his magic!!!!😃😃
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for posting this Gary. I see we come at things differently. Probably the biggest difference I have found personally is that the natural wisdom emerges not so much from practices but from a conscious choice from moment to moment situations in life to be guided by my intuition rather than another person, or a doctrine or an idea. And from that intention to honour the individuality of the life force that flows through me, which I have to say has been a painful and lonely experience mostly. True desire emerges which naturally evokes not only enthusiastic willpower to meet those desires but enormous courage and power that I had no idea was within me. (and in all of us) I have found it not so much about creating a new identity but a recognition of more of the identity already there that has been obscured by conditioning. The purity of that identity and the trustworthiness of it as a state of being. The trauma and the life experiences are resources for what this lifeforce creates as in sensitivities to a sense of misalignment or an imbalance in the ecology. I have come to see that my body enjoys the effort from this point of view rather than a sense that this is the "best way to get where I want to go." And the egoic issues seem to melt away without a great deal of effort. The only real effort seems to be just to be prepared to see. And that's probably what I have sensed in your videos as a subtle status when there is a prescripted process to follow with a "spiritual teacher", rather than a trusting in the wisdom that is individual to each of our bodies as your friend Anna was saying. Which is the nature of conditioning... someone outside of you knows the best way for you. That's not to say that we can't be helpful to others in describing some of the territory we had to negotiate to travel to where we are. But the extremes of that manifest in the world show how disempowered people have become from their true natures. I feel very fiery about that.
@@Darkloid21 Yes it's called logic and personal experience. Something I am finding difficult to follow in your answer = you seem to be criticising spiritual people and yet at the same time disdainful of "the brain or the mind". I think the term for that is gaslighting denying someone's reality. I am puzzled by your comments given you are obviously a supporter of Gary's work. However you make some good points about dating and biases, both of which are impacted by gaslighting. I think they both relate to readiness for a new paradigm and depending on the amount of gaslighting (trauma) you have been conditioned with, it takes time to choose yourself. Other people choosing for you doesn't work as we have seen over and over again with battered women returning to violent relationships. Perhaps you don't experience life force but just because you don't, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist in you or in me. Perhaps we want to hold onto the belief that others know us better than we do, because we still want to depend on other people's opinions and ability to "fix" us. Perhaps we are attached to the belief that we know best for another person. Perhaps it might be that belief that stops us being able to have dialogue with each other because another point of view challenges what we have invested in outside of ourselves.
No you're right - i have assumed you to be genuine but I see you just want something else. Whateever - have a "good" life doing whatever you seem to think is valuable. Over and out
Understanding each other is difficult. Thanks for taking the time to figure out some of the misunderstandings.
Loved the interview. I found it insightful and captivating to listen to. I always feel baffled to see how much emotional pain one needs to experience in order to look at oneself (haven't yet seen someone who investigated his beliefs due to physical pain). Even then it is not guaranteed people will seek to wake up. To me it seems a blessing to be given this opportunity. Also loved this: "It's not because I have good intention doesn't mean I'm making good descisions." This sounds so true to me as well. Without self-awareness my mind so easily convinces me to do things that sound good but are so detrimental. Such a deceiving fella at times! The interactions you had with Miguel and your process to more conscious-awareness really delighted my heart. I can imagine how confusing, yet novel and exciting this all must have seemed. And at one point so liberating. But you mentioning at around the 1:45:00 minute mark, how much doubt and even fear you have felt back then and if this stuff maybe could have been indeed a cult. How you (or the ego) couldn't even trust anybody who was involved. It sounds so overwhelming. I feel glad that you even saw this trap. Otherwise there would not be Pathwaytohappiness or this comprehensive Selfmastery approach. Much thanks. And also thanks to Anna for listening and asking interesting questions and giving you plenty of time to express and share the specifics of your journey. Cheers!
Thank you.
👁 now how are we going to build a utopia when humans love toys more than humans? don't fear i plan to rebuild but look how everyone is working together now so beautiful. #Itsalwayseasiertolove #Jointhecollective
We have to try.
I can't shake this feeling the deep yearning to be whole again... this separation kills me... one way to see we are born as victim. Separated from the wholeness. I other words One way to see desiring for something is being in "victim" state... I want this longing to burn 🔥 even it consumes me whole... 🥲 I love being in this bitter sweet state...
and then there is the perspective to embrace the longing for wholeness and not fall into a victim perspective as if there is something wrong about feeling it. In truth, the longing is a natural hunger of the soul. We are supposed to be hungry for unconditional love. The question is, how do we feel about our longing? Do we accept it, or do we hate it, do we adopt a story of it being something that is a punishment? This is the victim narrative
. There are some assumptions that you seem to be making namely that natural elements and animals, birds do not have enlightened consciousness and therefore will become conscious after humans. That the Bible stories of Adam and Eve are truth and not some manmade interpretation from a particular point of view in a particular era of humanity. That there is a single creating God developing this "game" because they are "bored with being all knowing and all powerful. That victim consciousness is a thing to be got rid of and is pointless. That the point of enlightenment is to then set yourself up on a pedestal and smirk at suffering. The writing below your video offers the opportunity to see the divine in everything already there and living us. But your talk expressing your perception of enlightenment reflects a kind of patriarchal attitude of humans above nature and a single authority/source. It's interesting to me because I have come to understand enlightenment as a doing word in relationship with others. It's harder to see the truth of someone's entitlement in their writing, it can be curated more carefully; in a video it can be edited (although you have to be able to see the distortions to edit them out) and in the tone of how you respond with other people and the environment under stress or when they disagree, the level of freedom in a human being is most clearly shown. To be saying I refuse to engage with certain things because I don't want to encourage victim consciousness seems a convenient exit route from an involvement or an examination of the aspects of life that I don't want to look at. It's an avoidance of acknowledging the tremendous suffering that little children haven't caused themselves. People born with black skin in Africa in poverty because they believe wrongly they are victims. They ARE victims and we who have and continue to buy the technology continue to maintain their victimhood. I suppose I see the biggest difference between what you are saying and what I experience is that I don't see enlightenment as a point of view ( a cognitive understanding) but as a lived experience of respect for everything, knowing that the brocoli has been slaughtered so that we can eat, the tiny creatures in the earth are killed when we lay down concrete for roads and buildings, that the computer I am using has been built with cobalt mined by children in the Congo. We are in relationship with these things and animals just as surely as we are with other human beings and we can live in a way that acknowledges that.
There is much to your comments and I can't possibly address them all in a single video. This video is an excerpt from a class I did, and unfortunately doesn't give all the context of what was done previously. Nor, would all of it answer your questions. I would agree that there are real injustices and harming of people who are victimized by others. This is a very real occurance of people being harmed. AND it is very important to draw a line between that victimization of people (including ourselves) and our mindset or story of victimhood.
@@garyvanwarmerdam1206 Of course there is a need for discernment. But I am pointing out that we have been conditioned in narcisstic cultures where we value the cognitive approaches including to ignore our body's wisdom. say about fear or shame and our use of status as an adaptive way of coping. I suppose I see enlightenment as for the purpose of relating with other humans and the environment without the need for status. Enlightenment not as an end goal but as a perspective of living IN community with all sorts of people of different points of view without the status of victim/perpetrator or up/down. And in the world right now that is not how we are mostly living. Perhaps as you say I have got what you have said out of context because it was part of a larger class and I have therefore missed that you are saying the same thing. Perhaps also we have different ideas about how to respond to that not just for our own peace of mind but to enhance the whole.
Explained so easy
Thanks
