Do you Think bro? Could you please say what you mean? I’m a direct person and not understanding the analogy or correlation and would like to bc it seems interesting
Do you Think bro? I formed an opinion that WE are the Satan by logic. 1)Satan sent to earth 🌍 and I’m here too 2)the Satan knows the Bible and I know the Bible (not well) 3)Satan believes in God and I believe I didn’t create myself so I’m inferring that I didn’t create myself so there must be a creator or Creation. 4) Satan knows God created him and I same as before God must have created me (Most people THINK THEY KNOW that they’re not superior to God but that’s a false belief) 5) the Satan believes he was superior or better than God. And so did I every time I made my decisions and life choices on my own without seeking Gods input. Every time i went out and did stuff that was harmful. Most of my life I acted as if I was separated and not asking for advice means I don’t need God nor his thoughts for me.
“I know, and I f*cking hate her for it!” 😂 That made me laugh for about 4 solid minutes. I had to watch it 3 times, and share with an enlightened friend. Wonderful video, indeed. And the added humor helped me “get” it.
I used to have this friend that I adored. When we were together, every thing felt fun and magical. I moved to another state and we eventually lost touch. I thought I would never feel that magic again without him in my life, but one day I was feeling particularly happy and that same great feeling overwhelmed me. It was amazing because I realized that he was not the source of my bliss, but I was. I had been putting my goodness on him (because he was wonderful) but I was the creator of my that feeling all along.
Isn't that wonderful? To realize that you don't need anything to happen to you to make you happy, You can be happy no matter what. I was homeless and being abused by the Man I loved more than anything everything seemed very dark and hopeless when I realized and decided I was going to be happy no matter what and it changed my life completely! True story my boyfriend even totally changed and healed himself and is now wonderful to me. We really do create our reality and how we feel about ourselves reflects back to us. Learn to love and respect yourself and the whole world will love and respect you also. Mahalo for sharing that comment! Aloha 🙏💖💓🧘♀️🕊🌎
I am starting to feel like the real point of my life is to drop the ego fully. Have no desire to have kids. Don't feel the need to get in a relationship, get married, get a house. Not motivated by money. I just feel like my point in being here is to understand what life is, and what I am, and finally get onto another level of reality when this is over. Deep down I have this weird sense that this is my last chance at breaking free. It's weird haha.
I agree with you about the ego thing. My thoughts, these days, focus more on the collective strength of ‘us all’, as opposed to ego/individualism taking the main stage. I am much more interested in creating/nurturing a space of balance, neutrality, harmony. I’m not saying that I achieve these various ‘states’, but my intention is to ‘concentrate on’, ‘observe’, ‘experience’ life’s events with these qualities in mind. It feels more natural. It makes me feels better. When I explore something, whether it be physical or cerebral in nature, first I try to figure out where my thinking sits. I ask myself “why do I think that way?”, then seek out other possible perspectives/ideas. I mull all of that over, and usually come out on the other side with a, more or less, harmonious understanding about what I have been pondering. My thinking becomes more wholistic - richer. More all encompassing. When considering the ‘role’ of our ego, I tend to think of it as being the ‘judgemental’ part of ourselves. We might form an ‘opinion’ about something that weighs more heavily on one end or the other and there’s a danger in becoming ‘antagonistic’. To me the ego doesn’t like to rest in the ‘middle’. It doesn’t like to present itself in ‘balance’. Ego seems more about the ‘individual’ trying to stand out. Trying to make a point. Trying to lift it’s head above the crowd. Above the collective. In challenging myself to think in ‘new ways’, with less interference from ego, I work to consider different perspectives, how to compromise/negotiate. If I start to defend one approach over another, I stop there and try to rejig my thoughts. When it all comes down to it, I firmly believe thinking ‘collectively’ more ‘harmoniously’, is more beneficial for all of us. If you start to think this way... it steals the ‘thunder’ away from ego and to me... that’s okay. Namaste.

I have a soft spot for eckhart, 16 yrs ago in my backyard in santa barbara ca, i read the power of now and experienced enlightenment. I didnt even know what it was at the time, i was in pure bliss, absolute contentment, i understood and was one with the universe and far far more. That moment, half way through the 2nd reading of the power of now my life changed completely, its impossible to explain but its true heaven is right here in the midst of us all the "time" lol. Since then i have studied countless teachings, experienced worlds and "happenings" i couldnt have imagined, and continue to this day.

Kudos, namaste, ohm, peace be with you, thanks, etc.
i do believe there is a thing called temporary enlightenment and i’ve experienced it before, it’s like you go out of yourself and you know everything and the answers to everything it’s lovely.
To me, we are meant to have a human experience, of which ego is part. It's a tool! And to not be friend to any part of yourself is to reject and show conditional love towards yourself, which only causes further fragmentation and shadows to occur, making the ego act out in a negative ways within the subconscious
The Self-Worth Habit Would make sense if it existed. How can something be a tool if it isn't even here.... Treating it real still creates fragmentation. That's what he says, how can you befriend it, if it is not real. That is the whole point. Oh dear, we are f*d. Haha. xx..
@@Stella.J.000 The ego is an undeniable part of the human experience. To deny it we might as deny the existence of all life. In the sense all we perceive is illusion.
@@Stella.J.000 Just as much if not more than the physical teachers and guides there are virtually invisible tools/ teachers/ guides. Both invisible and visable are all just manifestations of source.

I wish I had spiritual friends. I practice Eckhart's teachings daily, but it definitely makes me feel 'different' from my peers, like I'm in a different state of consciousness. But even saying that can be ego. A lot of my peers complain about a lot of things, and I just have to accept and put up with it. I can't even try correcting them as that is more ego. Spiritual ego. So I stay silent. But there comes a point where I want to distance myself from them so I (the ego) doesn't keep getting tested. Every day feels like a test. Always have to create space from my mind, and take 100% responsibility for my inner well-being. Some days, I feel I didn't do a good job, and if a negative emotion comes out of it, I know it's more ego. So recently I have been practicing Ho'opponopono to accept and get rid of any negative emotions my ego has conjured up faster than I was able to catch it.
This exact lesson should be taught in schools along with meditation. Beings have to find their true source along with this. Thank you for this Aaron! 🙏🏼
Oh my journey I've found that teachings cross my path when I am ready to hear them and if I resonate then I take them with me. The teachings we are drawn to change over time because on this path there is no right or wrong...Most of all I follow my guidance. I feel that I have two voices in my head, one being the ego and the other my true self. To help me differentiate I imagine my ego on my left shoulder and my true soul self on the right. Every now and then I feel guided to merge my ego with my true self and I see them coming together through visualisation. As you say.. there is no darkness only an absence of light.... In this way the ego has been my friend... one that I accept is there as i guide it into the light. My soul knows the ego is an illusion but in order to truly integrate it over time I have brought it to life so that I can separate my true self from the inner critical voice in my head. The ego is seperation and the soul is oneness. There is no separation. I have achieved so much peace with this merging technique. Thank you so much for this video, it triggered me but I realise my ego doesnt want to not exist so I think I needed reminding of this haha.
Beautiful. In reality our true nature is unchanging and formless. Any form, including language, cannot be our true selves. (At the same time, everything is an aspect of our true selves just as waves are aspects of the ocean.) It all comes down to how high the level of truth comes from. You are right not to abandon the ego, but to know that you are truly beyond the ego at the deepest levels. If we are meant to be pure love, why would we create fear in the ego by abandoning it? If it isn't real, then what does it matter if we abandon it or love it? I hope Aaron will re-evaluate his teaching.
You still should. I don’t completely agree with him on this one. He creates great and insightful content (mostly) but I have a few points of contention on this one. 1. The ego is necessary-fear is necessary (at certain times). It’s much better to be courageous than trying not to be negative. So 👎 to that. B. We live in a material world-of form so we need to have a human experience. Being too spiritual in the 3rd dimension will be very unbalanced and vice versa. Being grounded (in touch with nature, reality, etc) but also highly spiritual is key. Find balance.
Don Fields Well this argument can go forever really lol. As long as I’m constantly evolving/merging with my higher self and living above my ego (being self aware) I’m good. Be blessed.
@@devilsadvocate9011 the ego is like an AI program to protect the 3D body. You are NOT the body and don't need the ego unless you want to remain 3D. I just broke ot off the "make friends with the ego because you need it" phase. You don't. But you'll realize this in time before you move to 5D. But, move at your own pace as all souls need to do. Listen or don't. You will learn.
I love the way you are able to break it down in a way i can grasp. I have always read that when the student is ready, the teacher appears and your messages hit home every time so far being exactly what i needed to hear right then
The reason why we try to understand ego is not trying to be friend or not to be friend with it. We understand in order to develop our love towards others. Love is equal "not to hate" To understand ego is a development of "no hate"
GREAT video that really hit the spot! As an "enlightened" person you can look through others ego into their true self like through colored glas. In the opposide their true self look at the world - even at you - through their colored ego glas. Which can become pretty dark until their true self is completely buried in utter darkness. So that the true self has no clue anymore what it's ego is doing - here is the narcissist. On the other hand, the opposide of a nacissist is like this. As a Son you always are for the Father what he sees in you. And when you truly understood the concept of enlightenment, you allow everyone to see in you whatever they want, so that you become a "Son of man". Because whatever they see in you is just a reflection of themself. But to stand this violent storms of views on you from all of your environment you have to become a "great prince" for yourself and stand firm in your true self. So that's in short what "son of man - the great prince" means.
5:00 to 6:30 YES this is exactly IT !! Trying to accept and love myself but not feeling worthy of it at the same time, it was driving me crazy!!! Thank you Aaron 🙌🏻❤️
I've recently found your site and I'd like to give you a big warm thank you. You are so well spoken and easily understood for seekers of all levels. You are living your calling, don't stop. Xxxx
Wow - you are so BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for another AWESOME video. My take-away: Stay in pure awareness (the I AM/my true self) and take no thought. Aaron - All of your videos are priceless masterpieces...keep them coming. xoxo
I keep thinking there's something for me to figure out here (ego) and spend all this time trying to find the answers to what I already know. To what my Heart already knows that is telling me if I will just turn my attention back inward and be still. 💓👑🕊
"What I search is what I have been all along..." is so hard for me to accept. Have all my years of searching been a waste? I like the way you explain the Ego. So refreshing. So to the point. So helpful. Thank You Aaron (",)
This has really woke me up! I been struggling with loving myself and this is why. This helped me see myself clearly. Thank you Aaron for this, I'm so thankful!💚
Eckardt Tolle is a teacher from A Course of Miracle and so am I. ACIM says that the ego is something made up by humanity. And it doesn’t exist since this world is an illusion 🙏🏼😎 We all live in the dream and are now awakening from the dream 3D. In 5D everything is only love 💓
One of your best videos. This is so important, especially in the West, but of course - everywhere. Unbelievable how one can think the ego to be a reality, and that one can and SHOULD befriend "it".
"What you seek is what you always been all along!" That's heavy. I think I need to make a tee-shirt with this on it! Or maybe you should, lol. Seriously though, Thank you.
aaron that acting out conversation with ego was so perfect and hillarious! i honestly wondered how you would explain the topic of this video but that little bit was almost all you needed for proof!!
Wow man. Thank you. I've heard these things before but you have a way of bringing them out of abstraction into something easily understood. It's way simpler than my ego led me to believe lol.
Hmmm. Love your stuff. Truly. And this may be semantics, but if I'm loving my ego... I'd argue that I'm FEELING love in that moment. Whether the ego is real or not, I'm feeling love in the moment. Seems that loving (the concept of) my ego (since it's not real and the concept is all that exists) gets me to the state of oneness/love.
I used to go to Course meetings. It was the only thing in my sorry, depressing life that made me feel love; bad marriage and teenagers in the home. Then my husband died and the kids moved out. I left the US now, but I still miss the meetings. I'm glad I found this channel.
@@AaronAbke If we both agree on this matter then let me ask you this. Do you think you should redo this video? I mean the message you put out there is fantastic, but I think you should dive in a little more and explain these differences. Something in this video was irking me really bad. I kept getting this little voice saying "but that's not the whole truth". These videos you create are great and you are definitely helping people think for themselves, however, I feel that this video didn't give all the proper tools to the viewers. Let me know if you feel the same way or not. Either way, all your videos are great and there is always something to take away from them.
@@AaronAbke That explanation helped a lot actually. We do indeed have different views on the ego. I am more in the belief that one should dive into the shadow, have a talk with the fractured pieces of themselves, acknowledge how they feel and move the conscious and the unconscious mind back into alignment of one another. I believe that one of those fractured pieces is in fact the ego and the reason the ego is so strong in some is because they haven't ever acknowledged that it's there. It's like a child begging for attention that doesn't ever get any. Once you confront it, talk to it and acknowledge it and its feelings, it calms down and becomes content. Shadow work also helps you become aware of all of these pieces of you and with awareness can come understanding. Even if we don't agree with each other about something, we can still gain knowledge from each others perspective of ideas so I still appreciate this video and our conversation. I also really enjoyed your slice of pie metaphor. Take care and continue to follow what your heart tells you.
Aaron, you are the best! I love to watch your videos because not only do you explain things that I can understand, but you also add the perfect entertainment. Your sense of humor adds the best spark to the realization of your facts you are explaining. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your personality! Love it!!
Interesting approach! In eastern traditions, we are introduced to Bhakti-Yoga. We are clearly advised by the master not to go outside the triangle of seva (service), shravan (listening to the Truth) and bhakti( devotion/gratitude). My limited understanding tells me that there must be a very good reason, why master does it. Master knows that ego does not exist, however, he takes extreme care not to hasten the process- provisional credibility is given to it and in the precise moment it is removed with grace and love, by grace and love- a spiritual surgery if you will- when the seeker (ego) is no more, the understanding takes place seeker is the sought. Bhakti-yoga attenuates the sense of personal self. Self-love, forgiveness and let go sadhanas do work. All sadhanas are for personal self(ego) and not for the Eternal I. Even in Gita Krishna doesn't enlighten Arjuna immediately hence the Gita. From my limited perspective, I feel, integration of shadow(ego/inner child) is important which then brings the next scene to fore. Fully integrated- there are no more issues from its side- the same ego/mind-reactive mind becomes a responsive mind. When the realization takes place- One does the Lila without doing it.
Thanks, Aaron. Your closing statement is very powerful. It really helped me understand what Eckhard Tolle's teaching is about. "You are never defined by what you do. You are eternal... What you seek is what you have been all along."
Bro thank you for this video. Had I watch your videos years ago. I would have save myself some time going to church and mental hospitals and taking all these medications that didn't even work. I have not gone to church or hospitals anymore because I know it is a matrix. Having a relationship with my higher self is the best medicine. It's good and encouraging to listen to somebody the I can agree with thank you.
Ha! Love this! And divine timing!...I was just listening to ACIM this morning and the quote that struck me was "When you feel (depressed...anxious...) guilty, remember that that the ego has indeed violated the laws of God, but YOU have Not. Leave the sins of the ego to me. That is what the atonement is for."💜♾💜 Thanks for this!🙏
6:26 It's ok to love oneself even when we know we have been wrong. Also, i must say, it is not exactly a matter of doing better. We're all already doing our best. Let's be who we are, however we may be; and that is what really counts. After all, we come here for the experience - not so to become better than we already are as we are in our essence, in consciousness. Also, there truly is no need to judge ourselves. _"Better than"_ is perception.
Watching this 'old gold' which was so jammed pack with wisdom, but was especially tickled to see you play the mumma role 😂 💗 it really helps to have a good laugh when trying to digest and put into practise these teachings. Thank you Aaron! As always you bring it home 🙏
Thankyou so much. This is incredibly made. I absolutely love your use of humour to explain these concepts, it is such a pure expression of yourself and is so helpful for us!

You sir are a wizard 🧙🏼♂️🧙🏼♂️🧙🏼♂️ iv watched your mind science playlist through multiple times and each time I learn something new! This episode cracks me up everytime 😂😂 much love brother ❤️
That's just the ego talking. You are an all powerful wrestler and your ego is a bumbling drunkard. Stop listening to its hype, it's all talk. You are a god.
What am trying to say is , everyone spiritual path is different, LOA guides !! Just point the way to self love simple thing!! Once u start labeling it becomes a religion, you do this or else prophetic !! Aaron my brother all the love to you , ur doing a good job . In ur videos guide within your blissful experiences we will filter it to our use , forget about there arguments n sides it dims your beautiful wisdom .love love!!
Aaron your doing a great job, teaching love self love !! Remember Stay on the essence of the message your trying to convey!! The moment you pick one side of any arguments it becomes prophetic, meaning every spiritual path is different nothing is for certain in the formless! What ur teaching is ur blissful experiences , the wisdom is in its simplicity the least resistance path for ur students is the less labeled path !! Sometimes the ego is not a problem with one till its labbeled demon ! Self love know the CREATOR not the ego !! All the love 2u my brother.
A man who is both beautiful and intelligent. You've got my attention. Thank you for introducing me to the Ra Material. It's improved my understanding greatly.
I keep watching your video. U made complicated (at least to me) things easier. I read Alan Watts. He also talked about nonduality but this idea is kinda deep until I found ur channel. It becomes clearer.
Eliminating the ego is similar to meditation and manifestation. It's not something you can accomplish by focusing on it but focusing through non focus. Loved the video Aaron, I just recently have self discovered my technique for abandoning ego but still need to master it. Seeing this video helped me confirm to that small bit of doubting ego that im on the right path. My ego is slowly surrendering itself to the spirit. Took a lot of kicking and screaming, but it's learning it's place.

Some days, I feel I didn't do a good job, and if a negative emotion comes out of it, I know it's more ego. So recently I have been practicing Ho'opponopono to accept and get rid of any negative emotions my ego has conjured up faster than I was able to catch it.
You have all as friends, you just need to reach out
Look for a Unity Church in your area. You will find friendly like minded people there.
This exact lesson should be taught in schools along with meditation. Beings have to find their true source along with this. Thank you for this Aaron! 🙏🏼
Omgod!! This was the best! I love the skits 😂😂😂. and they are so effective !! Laughed so hard and loved how you explain it 🙌🏼
THANK YOU. The whole personal development "self-love" thing has the OPPOSITE effect than intended on me and now I better understand why.
I have tried to be the enemy and friend of the ego,the best teaching that you’ve given me personally is that it doesnt exsist dude!
Oh my journey I've found that teachings cross my path when I am ready to hear them and if I resonate then I take them with me. The teachings we are drawn to change over time because on this path there is no right or wrong...Most of all I follow my guidance. I feel that I have two voices in my head, one being the ego and the other my true self. To help me differentiate I imagine my ego on my left shoulder and my true soul self on the right. Every now and then I feel guided to merge my ego with my true self and I see them coming together through visualisation. As you say.. there is no darkness only an absence of light.... In this way the ego has been my friend... one that I accept is there as i guide it into the light. My soul knows the ego is an illusion but in order to truly integrate it over time I have brought it to life so that I can separate my true self from the inner critical voice in my head. The ego is seperation and the soul is oneness. There is no separation. I have achieved so much peace with this merging technique.
Thank you so much for this video, it triggered me but I realise my ego doesnt want to not exist so I think I needed reminding of this haha.
Beautiful. In reality our true nature is unchanging and formless. Any form, including language, cannot be our true selves. (At the same time, everything is an aspect of our true selves just as waves are aspects of the ocean.)
It all comes down to how high the level of truth comes from. You are right not to abandon the ego, but to know that you are truly beyond the ego at the deepest levels.
If we are meant to be pure love, why would we create fear in the ego by abandoning it? If it isn't real, then what does it matter if we abandon it or love it?
I hope Aaron will re-evaluate his teaching.
Bruh... I was just about to make friends with my Ego. Thank you.
You still should. I don’t completely agree with him on this one. He creates great and insightful content (mostly) but I have a few points of contention on this one. 1. The ego is necessary-fear is necessary (at certain times). It’s much better to be courageous than trying not to be negative. So 👎 to that. B. We live in a material world-of form so we need to have a human experience. Being too spiritual in the 3rd dimension will be very unbalanced and vice versa. Being grounded (in touch with nature, reality, etc) but also highly spiritual is key. Find balance.
@@devilsadvocate9011 just my humble opinion, but i think thats the ego bargaining for survival so to speak.
Don Fields Well this argument can go forever really lol. As long as I’m constantly evolving/merging with my higher self and living above my ego (being self aware) I’m good. Be blessed.
@@devilsadvocate9011 no arguement, just my opinion is all. Namaste, ohm, peace be with you, etc
@@devilsadvocate9011 the ego is like an AI program to protect the 3D body. You are NOT the body and don't need the ego unless you want to remain 3D. I just broke ot off the "make friends with the ego because you need it" phase. You don't. But you'll realize this in time before you move to 5D. But, move at your own pace as all souls need to do. Listen or don't. You will learn.
You are wise, funny, trustworthy and a good teacher. Thank you.
The story about Michael the van was so cute, lol.
Beautifully explained, and also made me laugh so hard lol. Best actor ever lol
I love the way you are able to break it down in a way i can grasp. I have always read that when the student is ready, the teacher appears and your messages hit home every time so far being exactly what i needed to hear right then
True ❤️😍
This is the most relevant and helpful explanation of the ego that I have ever seen or heard. You really can't put a price on this information.
I stopped the video to write down "You are not responsible for what the ego thinks" I am looking at where i paused it 11:11! awesome! Thanks Aaron
You could win an academy award for best ego actor lol ❤️ your conclusions of all your writing pieces are always so profound. Beautiful!
The reason why we try to understand ego is not trying to be friend or not to be friend with it.
We understand in order to develop our love towards others.
Love is equal "not to hate"
To understand ego is a development of "no hate"
GREAT video that really hit the spot!
As an "enlightened" person you can look through others ego into their true self like through colored glas. In the opposide their true self look at the world - even at you - through their colored ego glas. Which can become pretty dark until their true self is completely buried in utter darkness. So that the true self has no clue anymore what it's ego is doing - here is the narcissist.
On the other hand, the opposide of a nacissist is like this.
As a Son you always are for the Father what he sees in you. And when you truly understood the concept of enlightenment, you allow everyone to see in you whatever they want, so that you become a "Son of man". Because whatever they see in you is just a reflection of themself.
But to stand this violent storms of views on you from all of your environment you have to become a "great prince" for yourself and stand firm in your true self.
So that's in short what "son of man - the great prince" means.
5:00 to 6:30 YES this is exactly IT !!
Trying to accept and love myself but not feeling worthy of it at the same time, it was driving me crazy!!!
Thank you Aaron 🙌🏻❤️
I've recently found your site and I'd like to give you a big warm thank you. You are so well spoken and easily understood for seekers of all levels. You are living your calling, don't stop. Xxxx
Wow - you are so BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for another AWESOME video. My take-away: Stay in pure awareness (the I AM/my true self) and take no thought. Aaron - All of your videos are priceless masterpieces...keep them coming. xoxo
I keep thinking there's something for me to figure out here (ego) and spend all this time trying to find the answers to what I already know. To what my Heart already knows that is telling me if I will just turn my attention back inward and be still. 💓👑🕊
Wait this is so good ✨👏🏼
"What I search is what I have been all along..." is so hard for me to accept. Have all my years of searching been a waste? I like the way you explain the Ego. So refreshing. So to the point. So helpful. Thank You Aaron (",)
This has really woke me up! I been struggling with loving myself and this is why. This helped me see myself clearly. Thank you Aaron for this, I'm so thankful!💚
If anyone is looking for a good read on this topic - "Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer is highly recommended. 🙏💖🕉
Yes one of my favourite books! 🔥🧡
Eckardt Tolle is a teacher from A Course of Miracle and so am I. ACIM says that the ego is something made up by humanity. And it doesn’t exist since this world is an illusion 🙏🏼😎
We all live in the dream and are now awakening from the dream 3D.
In 5D everything is only love 💓
One of your best videos. This is so important, especially in the West, but of course - everywhere.
Unbelievable how one can think the ego to be a reality, and that one can and SHOULD befriend "it".
"What you seek is what you always been all along!" That's heavy. I think I need to make a tee-shirt with this on it! Or maybe you should, lol. Seriously though, Thank you.
aaron that acting out conversation with ego was so perfect and hillarious! i honestly wondered how you would explain the topic of this video but that little bit was almost all you needed for proof!!
The Alexis analogy makes so much sense to me, especially when it starts to chat by the movement of the phone.
Aaron Abke, I don’t know what to say, except “thank you” for this video.
You actually made me laugh about a mistake that I was making.
Yet again Aaron you find the right words to get the message through 🙏
Wow man. Thank you. I've heard these things before but you have a way of bringing them out of abstraction into something easily understood. It's way simpler than my ego led me to believe lol.
That was beautiful Aaron, and very freeing. Thank you so much ❤️
WOW! WOW! WOW!
Dear Egogee(Eckhart Tolle word),
Who Cares & you are an Illusion!
Thank you Aaron for your awakening words 😁🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Thank you brother for equal thoughts. It's refreshing and hopeful
Hmmm. Love your stuff. Truly. And this may be semantics, but if I'm loving my ego... I'd argue that I'm FEELING love in that moment. Whether the ego is real or not, I'm feeling love in the moment. Seems that loving (the concept of) my ego (since it's not real and the concept is all that exists) gets me to the state of oneness/love.
I used to go to Course meetings. It was the only thing in my sorry, depressing life that made me feel love; bad marriage and teenagers in the home. Then my husband died and the kids moved out. I left the US now, but I still miss the meetings. I'm glad I found this channel.
Wonderful teaching Aaron, you’re my favorite. God bless you. ❤🙏✨
The ego is more complicated than people realize. Also people confuse the ego with one's actual personality in which one was born with.
@@AaronAbke If we both agree on this matter then let me ask you this. Do you think you should redo this video? I mean the message you put out there is fantastic, but I think you should dive in a little more and explain these differences. Something in this video was irking me really bad. I kept getting this little voice saying "but that's not the whole truth". These videos you create are great and you are definitely helping people think for themselves, however, I feel that this video didn't give all the proper tools to the viewers. Let me know if you feel the same way or not. Either way, all your videos are great and there is always something to take away from them.
@@AaronAbke That explanation helped a lot actually. We do indeed have different views on the ego. I am more in the belief that one should dive into the shadow, have a talk with the fractured pieces of themselves, acknowledge how they feel and move the conscious and the unconscious mind back into alignment of one another. I believe that one of those fractured pieces is in fact the ego and the reason the ego is so strong in some is because they haven't ever acknowledged that it's there. It's like a child begging for attention that doesn't ever get any. Once you confront it, talk to it and acknowledge it and its feelings, it calms down and becomes content. Shadow work also helps you become aware of all of these pieces of you and with awareness can come understanding.
Even if we don't agree with each other about something, we can still gain knowledge from each others perspective of ideas so I still appreciate this video and our conversation. I also really enjoyed your slice of pie metaphor. Take care and continue to follow what your heart tells you.
man.. again. Wow!!! You are ON IT!!!! what a beautiful creative soul you are!! thank you thank you thank you!
Aaron, you are the best! I love to watch your videos because not only do you explain things that I can understand, but you also add the perfect entertainment. Your sense of humor adds the best spark to the realization of your facts you are explaining. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your personality! Love it!!
That was incredible. Complex subject explained so a 5 Year old could understand. Thanks Aaron.
Thanks Aaron, you are gifted in the way and simplicity with which you can convey such profound messages!
Interesting approach!
In eastern traditions, we are introduced to Bhakti-Yoga. We are clearly advised by the master
not to go outside the triangle of seva (service), shravan (listening to the Truth)
and bhakti( devotion/gratitude). My limited understanding tells me that there must be a very good reason, why master does it.
Master knows that ego does not exist, however, he takes extreme care not to hasten the process-
provisional credibility is given to it and in the precise moment it is removed with grace and love, by grace and love- a spiritual
surgery if you will- when the seeker (ego) is no more, the understanding takes place seeker is the sought.
Bhakti-yoga attenuates the sense of personal self. Self-love, forgiveness and let go sadhanas do work. All sadhanas
are for personal self(ego) and not for the Eternal I. Even in Gita Krishna doesn't enlighten
Arjuna immediately hence the Gita. From my limited perspective, I feel, integration of shadow(ego/inner child)
is important which then brings the next scene to fore. Fully integrated- there are no more issues from its side- the same
ego/mind-reactive mind becomes a responsive mind. When the realization takes place- One does the Lila without doing it.
Every video is a literal paradigm shift for me🙏💯
You're a gift from the Universe 🙏🌍
Hahaha I love this video. THANK YOU Aaron!! 🙏☀️ binge watching your older videos 💫💫💫
Your videos are great and so humorous. Very Grateful for your excellent work my friend....thank you!
Thanks, Aaron. Your closing statement is very powerful. It really helped me understand what Eckhard Tolle's teaching is about. "You are never defined by what you do. You are eternal... What you seek is what you have been all along."
( favorite mantra: le'go my eg(g)o... )
Very balanced approach. I like your commentary and insight.
the mother skit was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life
Bro thank you for this video. Had I watch your videos years ago. I would have save myself some time going to church and mental hospitals and taking all these medications that didn't even work. I have not gone to church or hospitals anymore because I know it is a matrix. Having a relationship with my higher self is the best medicine. It's good and encouraging to listen to somebody the I can agree with thank you.
Ha! Love this! And divine timing!...I was just listening to ACIM this morning and the quote that struck me was "When you feel (depressed...anxious...) guilty, remember that that the ego has indeed violated the laws of God, but YOU have Not. Leave the sins of the ego to me. That is what the atonement is for."💜♾💜 Thanks for this!🙏
so freaking awesome, much love man.
With all the book I’ve come across you have simplified all of my knowledge and made it fun thank you 🙏🏽
6:26 It's ok to love oneself even when we know we have been wrong. Also, i must say, it is not exactly a matter of doing better. We're all already doing our best. Let's be who we are, however we may be; and that is what really counts. After all, we come here for the experience - not so to become better than we already are as we are in our essence, in consciousness. Also, there truly is no need to judge ourselves. _"Better than"_ is perception.
13x60 why do u judge the ego which is not real?
@@sandis4287 Am i judging the ego? And, is the ego really not real?
Love this. Great teacher!
Watching this 'old gold' which was so jammed pack with wisdom, but was especially tickled to see you play the mumma role 😂 💗 it really helps to have a good laugh when trying to digest and put into practise these teachings. Thank you Aaron! As always you bring it home 🙏
Precious, precious wisdom wow. Thank you so much for sharing these teachings 🙏
Ego sketch had me cracking up bro! Thank you for being such a dope part of my reality.
Thankyou so much. This is incredibly made. I absolutely love your use of humour to explain these concepts, it is such a pure expression of yourself and is so helpful for us!
AND Anotha One☝🏽 from our very own Obi Wan Kenobe👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 YOU are what was missing from my UA-cam collection of favs and now youre in a league all by yourself 🥰 I could go on but you hv millions of comments wanting to be read so short & sweet from here on, You knocked it out the park as usual 😘🏅🏆🥇#myguynumber1FAV #BESTUA-camr #BestUA-camchannel ♥️

Thanks for mentioning me - I really am a good mom, lol

This video really hit home, you're able to convey such a complex topic and message in a digestible way, thank you!
This could be my favorite of your videos Aaron. When you said 'Oooh! Excellent. " it really got the point across. Your ability to expand my knowledge on these subjects continues to amaze me! Thank you. ❤️
Love it, thank you, I am so grateful for your very simple but profound teachings. Thank you so much!
I've been listening to your podcast on Spotify non stop for the past days. I am done with the suffering, the guilt, the anxiety, the never getting anywhere, the 'one damn thing after another'.
I know I'm getting there (where I already am). And you are a mayor stepping stone on my path. Endlessly grateful. You are a treasure. Thank you 🙏
Amazing!! Makes so good sense using so much humor in this video. Humor is so powerful when used to see things from a "higher perspective"
Buddha was lying! Lmfaoo 😹 this mind science series is INCREDIBLE 🙌🏼 so helpful! Thank you for being here!
Your correct teaching is refreshingly pleasant..
You´re so talented in explaining!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT WORK!
I’m getting great value here!!!
You sir are a wizard 🧙🏼♂️🧙🏼♂️🧙🏼♂️ iv watched your mind science playlist through multiple times and each time I learn something new! This episode cracks me up everytime 😂😂 much love brother ❤️
Im finally resonating on your level and you are changing my life. Thank you.
2:17 My ego is both a good wrestler and an alcoholic. Neither approach would work.
That's just the ego talking. You are an all powerful wrestler and your ego is a bumbling drunkard. Stop listening to its hype, it's all talk. You are a god.
Wonderful video! What a clear way of explaining this, thanks a lot Aaron!
Aaron thank you! All of your videos I have watched so far have given me so much ! Ps I love the story about Michael!!!
What am trying to say is , everyone spiritual path is different, LOA guides !! Just point the way to self love simple thing!! Once u start labeling it becomes a religion, you do this or else prophetic !! Aaron my brother all the love to you , ur doing a good job . In ur videos guide within your blissful experiences we will filter it to our use , forget about there arguments n sides it dims your beautiful wisdom .love love!!
A man of many talents !
Don’t leave Nor Cal for Hollywood they can’t have you!!
Omg 😆 love it when Aaron plays the ego. 😂😂
Aaron your doing a great job, teaching love self love !! Remember Stay on the essence of the message your trying to convey!! The moment you pick one side of any arguments it becomes prophetic, meaning every spiritual path is different nothing is for certain in the formless! What ur teaching is ur blissful experiences , the wisdom is in its simplicity the least resistance path for ur students is the less labeled path !! Sometimes the ego is not a problem with one till its labbeled demon ! Self love know the CREATOR not the ego !! All the love 2u my brother.
Aren't you just amazing Aaron Abke thank you so much 🙏🌻
I’m learning a lot from you. I’m reading The Ra sessions and your videos help me understand it. Thanks.
Each episode is a nugget. I love this series.. Good job Aaron. Love the way you mock ego
Damnnnnn, Aaron!! You are guilty of pushing my ego to laugh about itself!!
A man who is both beautiful and intelligent. You've got my attention. Thank you for introducing me to the Ra Material. It's improved my understanding greatly.
Powerful! I really enjoyed. Thank you Aaron. 🙏🏻
I keep watching your video. U made complicated (at least to me) things easier. I read Alan Watts. He also talked about nonduality but this idea is kinda deep until I found ur channel. It becomes clearer.
Eliminating the ego is similar to meditation and manifestation. It's not something you can accomplish by focusing on it but focusing through non focus. Loved the video Aaron, I just recently have self discovered my technique for abandoning ego but still need to master it. Seeing this video helped me confirm to that small bit of doubting ego that im on the right path. My ego is slowly surrendering itself to the spirit. Took a lot of kicking and screaming, but it's learning it's place.
Hahaha the Janette example was great 😂 my buddy Ben put me on your videos and I’ve been receiving a lot of value from them, thank you!
