thanks for this aubrey, on a crusaide today because im tired of teh cycle. Knowing theres a way out is relieving. Perhaps its my ego that wants to find its own way, be patient lil budy, lets learn the way so we can play outside the rules.
HOLY SHIT MAN. You just blew my mind with a serious epiphany. I started drinking & smoking weed at 16, and I've had a problematic relationship with substances of various kinds ever since. Not _exactly_ addictive, but borderline. Compulsive. I've never felt entirely comfortable just being, always wanted something that would alter my state. In my twenties that included a range of illicit substances wide enough that most straight-edge people wouldn't have even heard of some, but even down to innocuous stuff like caffeine, stim-heavy preworkouts, booze, etc. Anything that made me feel different in some way. I grew out of partying and started university at 27, and after 18 months I realised I'm ADHD. Even though I never party and might have a couple drinks like 3 times a year, I'm now dependent on my prescribed amphetamines. I know I should take some days off, but can't remember the last time I didn't take the maximum daily dose, purely because I don't want to go through the day without them. I've also been struggling to make progress on my (very big) goals, but what you said around 11:05 about endogenous drugs that come from within when we're in the process of pursuing and acquiring, that shit just hit me like a lightning strike. I definitely know that natural kinda high you're talking about, but never connected them together like that. Dude, reframing perception to view the endogenous intoxication of achievement as the state-altering high to chase after.... that shit might just change my fucking life. No joke. Always been a big fan, but feeling an extra big dose of love for you right now. Appreciate you brother.
I appreciate your sense and sensibility in the midst of extremity. It is an experiment into opening our heart beyond measure and being brave enough to ride the ebbs, flows, changes and challenges that are part of the flow without making excuses, shaming and blaming anyone, anything, be responsible!
So brilliant and clear. Thank you for reading this, Aubrey, at exactly the time I need to hear it. Your commentary post reading is also very meaningful. I so agree that the ups and downs of life's intoxications are part of the beauty of being in these bodies on Earth. But having the perspective that allows us to not invest in the expectation of eternal bliss here in these lives, makes it more fun. We have to remember when the blues hit, that everything keeps moving, and the cycles of change are continuous.
God is outside of us, and He is inexhaustible, and therefore never boring and can never leave those who are His and therefore won’t let you down with a suffering of loss. Chasing after other than God, is the issue.
Thank you for introducing me to Anthony De Mello ... 🙏🌹 I had never heard of him but after seeing your video regarding his book, The way to Love , I was really inspired and have since watched many videos of Anthony. I must say that he has managed to get to the root of all suffering and his teachings are definitely the best I have come across and have given me immense hope. ♥️🙏
When you hit lows you let it pass or work to bring the next high, deepening the relationship from within the two, not needing the relationship to complete or make whole but two wholes choosing to commit to grow through each other. Aware we have different beliefs regarding monogamy, which is also fine. I'm grateful for your podcast 🙏Thank you for sharing.
I needed to hear this. I have a long winded story but Ill save for those that ask, I recently lost something and this has helped me reframe the process. I have things to give attention to. thanx for sharing.
Omg that puts into words how I live and what I share with everyone of my friends who over abs over again are hurt or angered by others ... Never fight reality happiness only comes from within not from anyone or anything never have too high or too low expectations ..it’s really simple most ppl let others control their feelings.... oh yes you want it ... I have all kinds of Joyous and sad things occur but I am good and know this too will pass and I try to accept everything and am so content just being with myself as well ..
Aubrey, I loved this and the ideas you talked about. I tend to subscribe to the idea of walking my path of awakening which is about seeking the kingdom, and then taking the awakeness and love and peace I find there and applying it in my life and relationships; because while the forms and materials of this world are temporary, the energy and the beings we experience are eternal in nature (even though they change and evolve), and dancing the dance with authenticity and passion is what brings me joy and lets me know I am alive and walking my path well. Love you brother!
What an amazing video to stumble upon. That was the most refreshing perspective. I like the duality of “the chase” and the calmness of the kingdom. I find myself desiring both, but at different periods in my life. It fluctuates.
Thank God He brought it to me and thank you, Aubrey, my man, for this podcast. I really needed to hear this, in such a hard time I have right know. I hope everything will get better and I hope I will learn to enjoy everything and not become attached to it.
Good man Aubrey and tanx. A famous Irish writer once said “ There are two tragedies in this life, the first not getting what you want,the second is getting what you wanted ,it remains a tragedy “😂😂😂😂🔑💚🤝☘️😇
thank you for this. been catching myself obsessing over this girl lately. been aware of myself doing it and being in "this part of the cycle" that i'm on. the timing of this video was impeccable! :)
I will continue to go for those highs and bare the sufferings as well…what makes you feel alive? It’s not avoiding pain, it’s seeking, learning and feeling it all even the fucked up stuff!!
@@SkittyP123 You can have wants and desires - after all, that's why I believe we're here. But it's when these wants and desires become the focus - the reach for them is constant - where we lose sight of the present moment. Does that make sense?
My first comment was about half way in, this is after it's over. I'm totally hetrosexual and not crazy at all, promise, but I can honestly say I Love You brother even though I've never met you in person. I just bought The way to Love. Thank you for Everything you do Aubrey, but especially this video in particular. Normally, this stuff would impact me and I move on, but now I'm acting upon my instincts, so I immediately bought the book. Thank you once again Aubrey, you're Love and Power is spreading and very impactful, don't stop brother!! :)
I think Antony is talking about the concept of HAPINESS not That external things or conection are not importants, but in other level HAPINESS is something about just you and Goes with you regardless anything else
Hey man theres a few PROFOUND chapters of Autobiography of a yogi i think 33 and 43 specifically talk of mirracles and astral worlds. Thanks for this series good stuff!
I'm glad, my position has been reaffirmed. From a young age, I knew the futility of deriving value from external sources. Like nature, I chose to live in the now. Although this act in and of itself still doesn't provide the fulfillment that I seek. I find myself sharing the sentiment of king Solomon- taking a step back to view it all, I see naught but futility. Life is Mans pointless struggle to ascend from the dust, only to inevitably be submerged in it. I have gnawed from the fruit of life, but its glory escapes me. Within the maw, it quickly rots away. I see no Salvation.
I find that if I do not choose my source of volatility, volatility will be forced on me in a way I am not prepared for and find difficult to participate in in a healthy way. I have come to believe that I need something to pursue with complete disregard for the possibility of the lows. I try to choose my source such that the lowest imaginable low is not too disruptive to the rest of my life.
Embrace the contrast, creation and evolving is the whole point of being here in this amazing 3D, yes?…we need contrast - the negative feelings we don’t like are our guide/GPS to create our new desires. It will never end! Thankfully! Otherwise….constantly boring. Step 5, Abe Hicks.
😂😂💀I didn’t think you would surprise me. I was like “yea I’ve read hundreds of books” and in the self development community. Lol missed that one 🤯 thanks 🔥
Fucking Anthony Demello! LOL. Beautiful stuff Man. I'm on a natural high today and this vid took it to another level! :). Thank you Brother, just Thank you!!! :)
How does the biological component play into this though? Would you then have to 'transcend' your biology and those dopamine systems, the systems in your brain that get triggered by 'the chase' and make us seek those moments out. Would you have to become almost desensitized by external factors and sort of regulate your own hormones and chemicals solely through the power of your thoughts and mind? Not letting any external factors trigger these systems and offset the balance within by starting to overthink, to feel attachment, etc. And if it does come down to the way you think, or rather, the way you MAKE yourself think, could you not make is so you still participate in the chase, but choose to see everything is an up, or give less weight to the downs, the suffering.
It's all about wanting. But even wanting to have this equinimity still is a form of wanting. It will result in the same circle. So the key would be to not want anything? But how do you do that? Not by wanting it for sure...
"Kingdom of Joy".. before you said that i thought you were referring to Kingdom of God.. That's the happiest place. Jesus Christ is the only way to Pure Spiritual Awakening and Love. not the counterfeits
I like that. But. Hes fulla shit like everyone else. If he truly felt and understood what he said,WHAT THRILL WOULD THERE BE IN HIM WRITING AND DELIVERING WHAT HE SAID,TO THOSE OUTSIDE HIMSELF? Is he not finding joy in relieving and attempting to relieve SOMEONE/SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF HIMSELF of pain?,which I appreciate,thats Why I watched,however EVERY THING is OF chemical composition,and therefore a drug,a "druggie"thing. I think being a Skilled/Balanced chemist/druggie is what is of utmost importance. In other words,BE THE DRUGGIE YOU WANNABE,BE THE BEST DRUGGIE YOU CAN BE IN THIS WORLD OF SOMETHINGNESS(I mean people are addicted to O2,and H2O etc.and on and on,wether they wannabe or not)

This is great. I can tell you have found a way to find inner clarity and peace. Amazing soul.

I seek all the highs for the feeling of all those lows. It makes you feel alive.
I liked your talk even more than whqt you read. Beautifully said.
This was good Aubrey. De Mello is deep and a great resource. Keep it up brother. You're making a difference.
🙏 Thank you ☺️.
The path within - the wildest trip there is 🌸
I needed to be reminded of this today. Thank you. 🙏
Aubrey, I loved this and the ideas you talked about.

Yes! Enjoying the human experience, all of it, as you learn more about self and source ❤️
It took me to nearly loose my eyesight and my life to realise this! The raw truth of how it should be❤️ this is painfully beautiful❤️
What?
?
Great knowledge, thanks
Wow !!! Perfect timing brother !! Thank you for sharing such a blessing in my walk... God is thee Greatest !! We all are just great. ❤️
💓Thank you so much for making these podcast!! There is something different about your approach. I definitely enjoy your perspective.
Thanks friend I needed this!
What an amazing video to stumble upon. That was the most refreshing perspective. I like the duality of “the chase” and the calmness of the kingdom. I find myself desiring both, but at different periods in my life. It fluctuates.
Thank God He brought it to me and thank you, Aubrey, my man, for this podcast. I really needed to hear this, in such a hard time I have right know. I hope everything will get better and I hope I will learn to enjoy everything and not become attached to it.
I pull this up almost every week. Amazing Marcus!
thank you for the bed time story!
Good man Aubrey and tanx. A famous Irish writer once said “ There are two tragedies in this life, the first not getting what you want,the second is getting what you wanted ,it remains a tragedy “😂😂😂😂🔑💚🤝☘️😇
Wow, this really puts it straight.
thank you for this. been catching myself obsessing over this girl lately. been aware of myself doing it and being in "this part of the cycle" that i'm on. the timing of this video was impeccable! :)
me too man
Same! Call it God or the Universe or Source or whatever but this reached me at the perfect time 🔥🔥
Weirdly feels good to know I'm not the only one going through the same thing.
You're one of fav go- to's when im bored, thank you. You have a way of breaking down topics with substance thoughtfully.
BRUTAL TRUTH!
This lesson was absolutely perfect for me today. Thanks man.
I will continue to go for those highs and bare the sufferings as well…what makes you feel alive? It’s not avoiding pain, it’s seeking, learning and feeling it all even the fucked up stuff!!
This was my favourite AM Books to date. Thank you for sharing
Oh wow. This was exactly what I needed to hear today.
In the words of Iya Terra, "I found beauty and the balance in between all the highs and the lows". That's been my guiding voice here lately.
Amazing video and truth here.
VERY GOOD TALK. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE QUESTION "IS THE SUFFERING , THE HIGHS AND LOWS WORTH THE COST
The hardest place to find happiness is inside! Don't be afraid to look! ❤️
The key is to stop wanting...but alas, therein lies the difficulty...thanks for these readings.
Julie Sherwood I hear that wanting is the root of all suffering. But if you don’t want, then what motivates you?
@@SkittyP123 You can have wants and desires - after all, that's why I believe we're here. But it's when these wants and desires become the focus - the reach for them is constant - where we lose sight of the present moment. Does that make sense?
Julie Sherwood you cant stop human nature
Very helpful
Excellent, Aubrey!
DeMello is the best !!!
Oh damn, thank you! This was a real punch to nut sack.
On my bedside. It is in everything and it is worth it.
My first comment was about half way in, this is after it's over. I'm totally hetrosexual and not crazy at all, promise, but I can honestly say I Love You brother even though I've never met you in person. I just bought The way to Love. Thank you for Everything you do Aubrey, but especially this video in particular. Normally, this stuff would impact me and I move on, but now I'm acting upon my instincts, so I immediately bought the book. Thank you once again Aubrey, you're Love and Power is spreading and very impactful, don't stop brother!! :)
This is brilliant my friend
I think Antony is talking about the concept of HAPINESS
not That external things or conection are not importants, but in other level
HAPINESS is something about just you and Goes with you regardless anything else
Beautiful.❤️
Appreciate the read AM ~ sharp Bellicon !
I love this so much I subscribed ❤️
Hey man theres a few PROFOUND chapters of Autobiography of a yogi i think 33 and 43 specifically talk of mirracles and astral worlds. Thanks for this series good stuff!
This was amazing! Thanks Aubrey
Great honesty here . Great show !!!
I could never get bored... Even if ID be completly alone. And thats Just as imposible.
Seek the highs endure the lows !!!!
I'm glad, my position has been reaffirmed. From a young age, I knew the futility of deriving value from external sources. Like nature, I chose to live in the now.

"live like a poet". Maybe that's my "problem"? I am not sure if I'm tired of it though, either. Interesting points to consider. Thank you, brother.
Thank you enjoyed it loved it 🧘♂️
Amazing!
Love the jacket and the hair! Awesome sauce!
This. Wow.
This was really great, thank you!
Deep
the higher the high, the lower the low
Awesome

Leon H wanting is human nature
Off-topic. What size do you rock in the jean jacket?
Give me a job, Aubrey. Thank you.
Samsara.....circle of life...
didn’t feel, that what you read was ‚extreme‘
I feel like Stan from south park everything is shit until I smoke weed
"Kingdom of Joy".. before you said that i thought you were referring to Kingdom of God.. That's the happiest place. Jesus Christ is the only way to Pure Spiritual Awakening and Love. not the counterfeits
Delete try and should from your language Aubrey

The slightest chemical adjustment can change YOUR reality. Find the chemicals that are best for you,is what Im saying
Lol his name's Aubrey
