Thank you for every video you have posted, i have watched them all and every single one of them has helped my life greatly! Thank you for not sacrifising quality for quantity!
I would love your opinion on the psychology of time. Specifically why we don't function off a perfect 13 month calendar instead months are 28,29,30 and 31 days long breaking up the moon pattern and weekends. My guess is it relates to the matrix scene with morpheus and agent Smith talking about a perfect world and how humans need conflict. But mostly the months. I find it fascinating and shocking that in my 40s I had never thought about it before. (The clock, min, sec 24 hours I can forgive though if you have something to teach me there I would be all ears also)
My best friend led me to your videos over a year ago and I am a better version of myself because of it. Complex philosophical topics that are boiled down into 10 minute quickly absorbable videos are indispensable to me; as I am dyslexic. 1,000 'thank yous' for the beautiful artwork and absolutely no music in your videos.
@Genna Tuelz i love that truly. That we cannot change anything it makes me really happy for some reason i accept everything and fear nothing amazing does not describe this feeling.
Mark Caseon man this is beautifully put. I recognized when I would get anxiety I could shift that sinking feeling in my stomach to a feeling of butterflies whenever I shifted my attitude about what I was about to do.
Well then it's not fear. If all you feel is excitement, how boring for you. Without fear, how can you know that what you're doing is right? Feel free to delude yourself and not face fear. It will defeat you in the end.
This channel is the epitome of "disturbing the comfortable and comforting the disturbed" many topics either affirm the feelings of those who may be uncertain of their journey whilst also pushing the stagnant into a transformation. Helpful af
This was a very secular explanation for the message the Messiah preached. He told us to deny ourselves, (let go of our habits, will, and emotions during this transformation) take up our cross (own the suffering and bare the burden and struggle of going through this transformation) and follow Him ( chase after righteousness and healthy moral living). In my experience, The Most High and His Son as well as the Holy Spirit has been a major key to my success in enduring a rapid personality change. Prior to this change I had endured great suffering due to lifestyle choices and habits that I couldn't let go of on my own strength. I found strength in God and He has continued to strengthen me, and fill that void that existed after I let go of my old ways and personality. What I found most helpful about this video was the normalization of the stress and anxiety that occurs while pursuing balance after a radical change in ones life has occurred. I suffered several panic attacks and waves of intense fear early in my journey and still struggle with anxiety today, although it has gotten less intense. I appreciated and was comforted when the narrator explained that it was normal and that nothing was wrong with me. A huge weight was lifted. Thank you for this video! I pray that all who seek to radically change their lives allow God and the Holy Spirit to do the work for you! Man alone does not have the strength to endure the nessicary suffering that comes along with this change. God bless!
Asia Riddick okay let’s not mix beneficial philosophy as well being with the bullshit in the Bible. The Bible says all kinds of immoral fucked up shit so why would you use that as the model for your life?
@@blaise4468 Even when something is Evil... It would be ignorance to not take lessons out of it. Even the lesson that you should never impliment it in your own life is a good thing. Yet that is to your own perception.
@@blaise4468 casue it is the truth. and if you consider it was written two thousands years ago, without insights we are having today, it seems amazing right? almost not possible to exist. and did you red the Bible? or you just heard about others ppl interpretations?
Asia Riddick He who is without sin, may cast the first stone. The righteousness of Christians can be hypocritical at best and downright vicious and hateful at worst a shame because I think the message is a good one based on kindness to others.
@@carlranger8060 I work hard every day to not let my trumatic past control my life, and recently I did several things my anxiety have stopped me from doing my whole life. I showed my anxiety that I am the boss of me. My goal is that I can live my life the way I want, and not be controlled by my fears.
To put this into a simple paragraph according to my understanding: 1. Rapid transformations are possible; however, it is much riskier than gradual changes because the volatility may be too big to bear without losing one's sanity. 2. Side idea: It happens most to those who are not content with their lives than the content ones. 3. This rapid transformation's first stage is a stage of chaos. You are deliberately destroying your old and stable way of doing things with an intent to replace with a better one but doing so would hurt your feeling of order and causes you enter into a chaotic dimension. 4. Some deeply sunk into this chaos and make their matters worse by not being able to come out of the hole they dug, the hole is too dark to make sense and see and the longer they spent that time in that darkness, the more they become one with the darkness and the task of positive transformation becomes impossible to them. Some manage to find the diamond and get out of the hole by keeping their sanity in check and allowing themselves to be calm and think through many ways of getting out of that dark hole. Some exercises that help one's sanity in check are meditations and exercising. 5. Last point is that some choose to go through this process despite the risk and some don't due to fear, laziness...or various other reasons. But even if you decide not to go thru these changes, the fact that you are not voluntarily going thru these changes diminishes your freedom and in turn puts you in that dark hole forcefully. So, the video suggests that you wishing not to take action or not doesn't really matter cuz you will be involved in this process anyway so why not take the challenge and overcome it voluntarily instead of doing nothing and regretting later.
7:05...THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BREAKDOWN AND A REBIRTH IS THE INDIVIDUAL'S DECISION TO REFUSE DEFEAT. THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH IT.
@@EpicShkun not talking about refusing defeat in the delusional sense, constant defeat should be expected and lessons collected... talking about refusing to allow discouragement to seat any permanent root that would continue to accompany you
@@EpicShkun the only defeat in this case is going back to one oldself. Any place else should be seem as a step up as you have proven to yourself your can beat your own demons
Im literally doing this now. Waking up at 4, meditation/affirmations, gym, clean food, work until 7, meditation/affirmations, sleep by 9. Sunday is for relaxing and socializing. Reverse engineering my long term goals and taking control of my reward systems. Starving my mind of distractions and improving my ability to focus on what moves the needle. Anything short of this and I tend to slip into apathetic complacency and chronic underlying anger.
I have a feeling, my Maladaptive Daydreaming will have to be my sacrifice. It has gotten out of control. I have to come to terms with where I'm at and how I look. I also have to forgive myself for old mistakes I made. I ruminate on the past way too much. Self acceptance isn't as easy as it sounds, people. I need your prayers.
What is termed as maladaptive daydreaming is dissociation, usually linked to Complex PTSD. Many times this is due to growing up in dysfunctional family dynamics, otherwise known as the toxic family. To start your recovery, you just need to start. True prayer is ACTION. I wish you well.
This video describes my life recently. The most difficult thing is dealing with people who think you've lost your mind because they expect you to live in the past because they can't control you anymore.
That's true, I have stopped 'feeling' that other people had control, I have stopped perceiving their needs and feeling empathy towards others, instead, I have empathy for myself- Finally I matter to someone, I matter to myself :)
My family thinks I’m “sick” because of my way of thinking, I hit them with the straight truths & then think I’m absolutely wrong & that THEIR WAY IS THE “RIGHT WAY” I understand them tho😂my thoughts and ideas are foreign to them because what they know is all they know. Which is sad when you think about it :/ that’s why I try to be more loving towards them even if they think I’m a psycho 😂
Perfect timing, as I decided to quit doing drugs recently and stop wasting my time and money from getting high. I used to train MMA, my passion, and left it cuz I fell back into addiction. Ty for the motivation!
@-COLOMBIANCHANNEL-TM Nobody can contest that of course, however if you reached the point where all of your connections to the world are lost and the only thing that you have left in your life are drugs, then getting high can actually become very unpleasant as the realization of the miserable life you are having ( working all day to make money to buy the drugs ) moves step by step from the subconscious realms into the conscious realms up to the point where getting high becomes a drag. Drugs are fun only while you have your life together and if you can find a way to share all the happiness that you get from using them. At least that is what my friends told me :)
I just made three years clean. I just want to encourage you and wish you the best. I swear, it can get better. At first, getting sober can feel like a living hell. But as this video said, "chaos begets new forms of order." I'm so grateful that I was able to let that part of myself die. I'm actually happy now. Stay strong, man.
Yes, for me it’s the pain experienced at night when I’m stuck with my thoughts for a period. The only way to escape it is to ensure no daunting regrets will remain at the end of the day, particularly from engaging in hedonistic activities/ aversion behaviours. Even if fears of the future fester in my mind I know I did the best I could and am not kept up all night.
This video made me realize the depression I was going through in a second and I literally started crying because I realized how true this video is. Thank you so much man. It helped me out a lot
@Neil Wiggs Understandable. I am in a sense going through the same thing. However I still reject organized religion I still enjoy learning about religions and all the in and outside without directly following them. (Basically learning the lessons without church or killing goats) I wish you best of luck!
@Neil Wiggs You seem to confuse spirituality with religion. Religion(exceptions are the less organised ones)wants to close the human mind, spirituality seeks the opposite.
I took a voluntary plunge into darkness, and I’m still climbing my way back out, I took a plunge and got lost at the bottom, became a satanist, lost all my friends, and hated myself and the world, I’ve gained better friends and came back twice as strong as I was and I’m no longer a satanist
Loved this video. Just want to share my own story: Recently divorced someone who blamed me for everything - I fell down a rabbit hole of intense self loathing and failure only to come out the other side several weeks later with a new vision and outlook on life. Im moving out of my apartment, quitting my dead-end job and buying a work van to live in on the road and start my own business that I’ve been planning for the past 7 years. I also learned that it’s not OK to put up with someone else’s red flags because you think you’ll be able to look past them in the future. That day will never come. Your partner needs to respect you as a person and be mature enough to take responsibility for their own actions. Most importantly, you need to respect yourself and when the day comes where you must rise from the ashes, you will know. There is no mistaking it.
@@stevearcher6100 boy we are all capable of unimaginable darkness but when people are together you always give or share light to each other's lives so that the monsters never awaken. There has to be someone who just never shares their lights and ends up sucking all the light for their own satisfaction, leaving the other one in ruins. So make sure you never spew your own skewed perception of morality and ethics based on little to no evidence to increase the suffering of someone who has already been in the depths because I detest people like you from the core of my being.
Missing is the mismatch of the sharing couple. One brain among two is not enough. Half brains get on by appeasing each other. It all depends on You. Like every man is an island . He has to adapt , and you have to as well or it’s a mismatch. How much does money make it the cause, many instances are about that.wealth can dump,and make a new life, poor are stuck in the accustomed life of strife. It’s not new anywhere.
0:31 Gradualist change (less risky) 2:52 Those who are in living hell are the most susceptible to rapid personality change. 4:08 Sacrifice is necessary 6:16 The risk of sacrifice: chaos 7:35 Active approach to life and experimenting with novelty as risk reduction 8:07 Struggle is part of the process of experimenting with novelty 8:45 Relaxation techniques as risk reduction
This greatly relates to my own psychological rebirth. Almost verbatim. Incredible. I've managed to completely transform myself from the broken, depressed man I was a few years prior. It was all incremental change and power of will. I started fasting 23 hours a day, engaging in rigorous exercise twice daily (sometimes thrice), and intensely educating myself while putting applicably beneficial concepts learned into practice. I have found a great deal of meaning in pursuing difficult things as I now know how said things mold great men. Academy of Ideas has been a great tool and resource in these pursuits. I shall become a supporting member in the very near future. Much love, brother.
I’m happy to hear of your positive journey, but I have a side question pertaining to fasting. How do you handle your fasting on top of exercise without the effects of energy depletion? How many calories do you think you consume a day? Is fasting 18-23 hours a day sustainable with a 9-5 job?
@@mrj4990 Fasting and caloric restriction activate both cellular and genetic pathways that promote energy homeostasis and lifespan extension. AMP-activated protein kinase is a cellular signaling pathway involved in metabolic homeostasis, mitochondrial biogenesis, and autophagy. All of which promote optimal energy and expression of protective genes like the FOXO3A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP. FOX03A is known as the longevity gene and is present in most centenarians and super-centenarians. When one trains in a fasted state, these pathways are greatly amplified and the need for superfluous consumption is greatly attenuated.
It's important to note that both AMP-Kinase and FOXO3A are inhibited by IGF-1 and insulin. Insulin and IGF-1 are secreted during times of feeding. High protein diets, especially those high in animal proteins, will inhibit these expressions as well, as more insulin and IGf-1 is secreted with higher blood levels of amino acids. I follow a protocol called the Age Inhibition regimen (AIR) by Dr. Nun Amen Ra. It all started with an attempt to debunk his what then seemed to be quacky claims. I found no holes and this has been truly the most worthwhile pursuit of my life.
I recently did a 23andMe DNA test. I plugged the raw data into FoundMyFitness and Promethease, both genetic variant assessment tools. I've come to learn I have four different single nucleotide polymorphism in the FOXO3 pathway. I feel this is an epigenetic change and result of strict adherence to the Age Inhibition Regimen. The FOXO3 SNP is present in only about 10% of the world population, so this, for me, has proven the validity of AIR and has intensified my adherence.
I'm currently 5'10 193, very low adiposity, much like my avatar, slightly better. NO DRUGS, just specific nutriceuticals such as resveratrol, curcumin, EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) of green tea, pomegranate extract, green coffee bean extract, and cocoa seed extract(theobromine), berberine and a few other plant-derived compounds. These all promote AMP-Kinase activation, autophagy, neural plasticity, as well as testosterone production and lean muscle tissues.
Im experiencing this right now, transforming my goal directed motivation and fundamentally shifting my paradigm. Cool how this video coincides with my journey.
Last year, I had a profound and meaningful goal. It gave my life a great amount of significance and motivation. But at the end of the year, I lost it (the idea was not worth pursuing). Since then, I've been trying to find something else to go after. I'm looking for meaning again. I hope I succeed!
Something like this can happen to you so quickly... It's like a slow descent at first, where you find yourself in a dark place in your life, where things become worse and worse until you fall into a pit. And you climb out of that pit as a changed man. I went through something like this twice in my life already. First when I was fighting my social anxiety and depression, second time when I (luckily) lost my stressful job and got out of a bad relationship. You essentially find yourself in a place, where you have no choice but to change, become stronger and move on. But if you're reading this and you're in a similar situation: You can do it! Stop doubting yourself and keep pushing! Life always has beautiful things to offer once you move on past all the bullshit.
How did you overcome social anxiety? I am currently experiencing depression : week 3. Starting to climb out of the pit now by gaining these insights and being inspired I must fight these illusions and be in the world. I have isolated long enough.
@@kali11123 I had therapy, which helped me a lot and ultimately set me on the right track. But you could start by putting yourself in those social interactions, which you'd normally avoid. It worked for me by starting small and then moving on to more "stressful" things by the end. Something like: -> Going out to buy groceries by myself -> Taking the bus in the front row and starting a conversation with the bus driver -> phone calls (used to be one of the most stressful things for me ironically) -> Going to a bar with a friend for a drink -> Start a conversation with a girl you find cute It also helped me, when I realized, that nobody really pays attention to you in your day-to-day life. Even if the absolutely most embarassing thing happens to you - nobody will remember it after a while. Don't be ashamed or afraid to start therapy though, if you need to. I honestly don't know if I could've made it as far as I have, if I didn't. Stay strong, brother. Keep me updated on how your journey is going.
This is the 1st time again after a very, very long time that I cried after watching a video. I followed what was said to make a sacrifice, and I just sacrificed something very close and attached to me, -a very strong negative emotion towards a person that i'm harbouring for years. I'm free now. I just had a breakthrough. Thank you.
It's not perfect timing, it's just the fact that they speak about things that every person goes through and we don't even think abt it or don't know how to put it into words.
Yeah it’s a very strange experience. I honestly didn’t know about this other then my own experience until I watched this. It’s insane no one discusses this more.
This video has so much truth to it. I spent 6 years of my life with high anxiety, and the last 6 months of that period were spent in depression. I awoke from the depression a new and better person. This was a great summary of my journey through that period.
There are no ultimatums in life, only new forms. Every second spent doing something builds upon that something. Spending too much time in thoughts of misery will cripple you for sure.
Rainbows and butterflys or pain and misery. Most people choose reality which is in it self is both. I choose none but it's not a choice it just happends. Free will is an illusion. As the concepts of men are the tools of god, god always wins. What and where is god? The ones that know wouldn't tell you nor would you understand if they did. Like a naked creature trying to swim in the thickest mud and thinks it can't but knows it can and visa versa.
@@blaisequinones8647 - Your beLIEf in determinism, only indicates that you have not realized your own power. YOU can only find that within yourself by an intentional act of FREE WILL.
I thought I was psychotic or crazy, but in reality I am becoming something new and greater as the reward for acknowledging , facing and then walking through the flames. To shine like the sun, first you must burn like it. Sending strength and positivity to everyone. Keep fighting
I think everyone here can be my friend in this lonely part of world I live in. What better person can I be with than the 1 who understands, values & seeks wisdom of life.
Wow. That’s happened to me. I didn’t know this was a process and that it was actually recognised and understood by other people - I thought I was just crazy. I thought it was just chaos. So It’s nice to hear it explained to me like this. This channel is helping me a lot. 🙏🏻 thank you
This video showed me that I’m currently in the middle of a ‘rebirth’. Changed a lot of relationships and tendencies over the last month and I’ve felt like I’ve been leaving something behind and chasing something new but haven’t been able to tell what they were. When he started talking about the usefulness of meditation and breathing exercises I laughed out loud because I’ve been gravitating towards those more than ever in my life because my anxiety has been through the roof. It’s hard changing yourself out of no where. People think you’ve lost it and if enough people start to tell you your change is bad, you start to wonder if they’re right. You have to trust yourself and remind yourself that there is a reason you had to make this change and keep going. Don’t let anyone hold you back.
Your lectures are infinitely applicable, as is evidenced by how many people (myself included) feel that it was perfectly timed for their personal context.
@Jay Bee depends on the person, But yeah it makes sense most people aren't freed just by watching a video, however the video is a tool to reach freedom
13 years of therapy and 14 months of AA, I find this video to be my experience. I have tried to explain my experience when I have been asked and I couldn't. Great video as always.
I pray you got your 2 year sobriety milestone! I am 20 years sober and even have beer and pain medicine in my home and have NO urge what so ever for it. God did me a solid and I don't know if you believe, but He has your back too. Even if you don't know it's Him pulling the strings behind the curtain. He's waiting. Great job! Stay the course and when things go wrong don't go with them.
@@divineknowledge4607 Hey, thanks for reaching out. By the grace of God, I will have 4 years in May. AA has been the best decision of my life, and I am forever grateful. To feel the love of God and to be able to experience with my family, blessed!
This has happened to me. I even had a very vivid dream with me dying and being reborn to a better version of me. When this happened I woke up feeling one of the most beautiful feelings I could ever feel, it was super intense, but I felt an enlightening . You can become who you want to be. You really can live a happy life.
I have been suffering for many years from chronic insomnia, anxiety disorders and depression. I had developed bad psychosomatic habits and behaviors like eating disorder that even worsened my situation. I had no job, no friends, nothing. And I had problems with my parents and family. It's has been over 3 years when I reached the bottom of my depression and I could not take it anymore. I wanted to commit suicide. I live in a country where the medicine and drugs are not easily accessible, and too expensive, if it wasnt I would end up a drug addict or dead. Because I was too scared of pain to cut myself or jump under train or smth, but I thought of dying almost every day. I prayed for it. In the end something clicked in me. It was like I lost so much of me, that there were nothing left and at that point I started feeling life. I started feeling life because there was no Me. I started my journey of change and I work on building my habits every day. Every day I think of what a gift the life is and I try to learn something new and do a good thing and reconsider my bad actions even the small ones, like judging others. I forgot the past, I improved my relationship with parents I lost 15 kg and etc I want to practice meditations, and many more spiritual practices Even tho I still feel scared of what I have gone through but I am so grateful for it I don't know if it was a psychological rebirth but it was a rebirth for me and I am now convinced that It might repeat again But the next time I will embrace it
Thank you, really needed this. I will, with all my willpower, trying to be present again without ritalin medication. Though it has helped me tremendously with my autism and adhd, at work, with productivity, the everyday life to be honest. I felt a breaking point a couple of days ago, where that need, or addiction starts to lurk back at me again. I will not give up in this, its going to be hard, and will take a lot of willpower and courage. A lot of mind ghosts will probably appear again. But I will not surrender. Once again, thank you for this video.
Wow. This has been my 2022. My sacrifice was mostly involuntary. The dysfunction grew too much and I was forced to make was choice. The pain was excruciation. Now I'm accepting the descent instead of resisting it. I am embracing the changes and seeing where they lead. Absolutely fascinating video, thank you for the knowledge and validation!
I've undergone extreme mental change over the past year and a half and when it says sacrificing that part of yourself can result in initial chaos and struggle that shit is extremely true. I used to be very angry at the world, for the way we treat people and once I finally decided to abandon that anger I was dysfunctional, I didn't know what to do or think for a little while before some good thinking habits set it and improved my mental status extremely
One day I will do something for who ever does this content. This is only an articulate way of Expressing what I have been living all my life and specially the last years. Thanks so much.
Approximately a year ago I made the conscious decision to allow who I was to die in order to become who I needed. I remember this very clearly because I let myself try and form my own opinion about my mother, whos narcissism destroyed the family. Doing so caused me to break into psychosis, specifically hypomania, which eventually led to me discovering I have a few mental illnesses. Despite the fact that this decision triggered enough stress in my life for intrusive suicidal thoughts to settle in, it has changed my life for the better. I'm also not so sure I'd be here today if I hadn't. Everything in this video that was said, I have applied to myself in some way; it's astonishing. I only discovered Jung psychology less than a month ago, through the artwork of Peter Birkäuser, so I'm in disbelief of how accurate this video is of myself in the past year.
I found this video six months ago, right before the end of the year. My life was in complete chaos, chaos ruled my daily existence and all I thought to do was partake in unhealthy coping mechanisms to get through each day. After finding this video I took a complete plunge into hell, literally listening to war music daily as I removed every dopamine addiction and bad habit from my life. I reintroduced every positive habit that i could think of would serve me, and I journaled in my free time to help navigate the waters. Lasted about three weeks until the stress kicked my ass and plunged me further than I was able to handle, and alot of bad habits returned. At the start it was a few weeks I'd return to the bad habits before my next plunge, but the longer I stay on this journey - the less I have to return to "safety", and the less time I have to spend there. This video and the knowledge it contains without a doubt changed my life in ways I could have never expected. I consume knowledge daily, and have yet to find anything close to as powerful as this video. Thanks to the sacrifice I mostly live in a state of order, where positivity, purpose, passion, drive and hope fuels my daily existence. Despite the absolute agony of that first dive into hell, id do it all over again in a heartbeat. The bigger the sacrifice, the bigger the reward has now become my mantra. Thanks again for the awesome content, keep up the great work
Tell me, is it doable this way? I need to fix myself up in this respect. Managed to stay afloat with excercise and I do have some interests lined up to dive in and maybe even make money with along the line. But I need to kick my weed habit, even though I doubt I can truly stop. Just enough distance to keep some of my time and money free for constructive thinking, feeling and doing. That's all I need.
This is absolutely amazing! Having recently went through this, a small part of me still questions my sanity and interpretation of events. I also question my ability to rise from the ashes, but this added some validity to my experiences. Thank you!
"The sacrifice is critical in the process of rebirth, for the simple reason that often what keeps us locked in our problems is the inability to recognize that ways of life that served us in our past may morph from promoters of our well-being, to the acute cause of our suffering. A sacrifice can take countless forms, and may be as simple as the quitting of a dead-end job. Sacrifice can engender a psychological rebirth. The snake which cannot shed its skin perishes."
In my estimation, any practice without an underpinning philosophy can only ever be drudgery, meanwhile any philosophy without practical implementation can only ever amount to sophistry.
Looking back, I realize how much I have changed and how much I have suffered during that change. The change itself is not obvious, nor is the changing. It only becomes obvious when you compare yourself with your old self.
This video comes at a perfect time, as many people are talking about psychological deaths & rebirths. Collectively, it seems that many of us are experiencing these dramatic changes together. May it be for the better.
This outlines my personal experience from October 2019 - March 2020. The process is intense. I feel fortunate that I was able to come out on the other side and would say confidently that it very much is a transformation of personality and psychology. This video captures the essence of the process well.
I know for a fact i'll be back so notes to my future self: The person you are and the person you want to be is very different. So your sacrifices are naturally more hard. 1. In order to win, you need to sacrifice your habits ( eating a lot, spending all of your time in phone- and i know we use it to read books and listen music but we need to limit it so we can get our shit done. ) 2. In order to not getting your heart broken, you need to sacrifice your kindness. Your kindness made you end up in your room with a bottle of painkillers and a letter. Learn to not give a shit, learn to hate people and then act on it, learn to be furious instead of sad. Be angry. Use that anger for changing. Also, there's a difference between being kind and being a doormat. Considering our life, you know which one is us.
this may be happening to me (i think it started 2 months ago) and your video reassured me that im probably on the right path. every sentence is relatable and contains so much wisdom, and i feel like your videos helped me a lot during the past 2 years, thank you for creating them.
Discipline = Freedom I have found the more I do, the more I live a rewarding life of purpose. I meditate, journal, read books. take walks, cold plunge, and practice yoga. I lift weights, do box jumps, and push/pull my Rouge sled. Some of these endeavors are reserved for certain days of the week, others are practiced daily. But at the end of the week they're all completed - I feel empowered, self reliant, and accomplished. This has been a part of my life for several years, and if I discover eventually that it all produces a temporary freedom and/or some surfaced facade, so be it. But for now, it gives me Devine joy. "Let us be up and doing" ❤
Wow, I’m fairly certain I had this happen to me going on 10 years ago now. I used to be an extrovert, always joking around and laughing, making friends and hanging out with people, then out of nowhere I did a complete 180 and became an introvert, rarely socialized, have few friends, don’t really laugh or joke around anymore. For the longest time I never knew what happened and why I suddenly did a complete 180, for the longest time I was lost, I didn’t know what was wrong with me, why I was no longer the person that I was. This video hits the nail on the head, if only I had seen/heard of this topic back then I wouldn’t have been so lost for so long, but because I was lost and have begun to find my way I feel that I am blessed with a new sense of resolve and wisdom, more clear headed and more focused. Thanks for the great video. Subscribed!
@Jay Bee , when you reach a point in life where you will let go of a misguided reality within your belief system, the simplicity of truth in fact of your physical beingness becomes apparent. For myself, that point came from living a lie for half of my lifetime. Trauma compounded mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually to be the intervention I needed to become whole true self.
@@kevinkinney5445 exactly, i comes down to being honest and stop lieing to yourself, you've got to live your life, not something you've made up in your mind.
@@dirhido9665 - Acknowledging that the picture of reality others have constructed for you, may be questioned necessarily. Listen carefully and believe prudently
@@kimjameson7979 for myself, it was a realization of "You can believe a million lies, but You can only Know the truth". I think it all depends upon how willing anyone is too go to the deepest level of their being and dig up the husk of the seed that they germinated meaning when in-forming their self.
Having a growth mindset is the preliminary approach to harnessing forward into becoming more than the former self. For we have multiple selves undiscovered.
This was a very secular explanation for the message the Messiah preached. He told us to deny ourselves, (let go of our habits, will, and emotions during this transformation) take up our cross (own the suffering and bare the burden and struggle of going through this transformation) and follow Him ( chase after righteousness and healthy moral living). In my experience, The Most High and His Son as well as the Holy Spirit has been a major key to my success in enduring a rapid personality change. Prior to this change I had endured great suffering due to lifestyle choices and habits that I couldn't let go of on my own strength. I found strength in God and He has continued to strengthen me, and fill that void that existed after I let go of my old ways and personality. What I found most helpful about this video was the normalization of the stress and anxiety that occurs while pursuing balance after a radical change in ones life has occurred. I suffered several panic attacks and waves of intense fear early in my journey and still struggle with anxiety today, although it has gotten less intense. I appreciated and was comforted when the narrator explained that it was normal and that nothing was wrong with me. A huge weight was lifted. Thank you for this video! I pray that all who seek to radically change their lives allow God and the Holy Spirit to do the work for you! Man alone does not have the strength to endure the nessicary suffering that comes along with this change. God bless!
This video is a brilliant explanation of of rebirth. My first rebirth came over 20 years ago after an involuntary period of psychosis that I got through I medicated and eventually recognised it for what it was and took back control. Since then, I am more aware of myself and what is happening around me.
When the discomfort of staying the same is greater than the discomfort of changing then change is desired and chosen. I've been at rock bottom and HAD to sacrifice Pride and ego by Submission. I was humbled by the failure of my self determinism. I admitted defeat and reached out. I had to get out of my way. My thinking was and still often is dead wrong but Pride and Vanity wouldn't let me see it. Humility (for me) is the first of the Virtues. Without it change is not possible.
Im 1.30 minutes in and damn I realized I've hit the gold! I've been searching for content/channel like this for weeks now and I've finally found this hidden gem! Your videos are amazing, thank you!
I can completely relate to this video. This psychological chaos is exactly what I've been going through over the past few months. In my attempt to change my worldview to a more positive, productive, and fulfilling one, I ended up questioning everything and being unsure in myself. I could not stay focused because I was afraid that what I was focused on was coming from the old state of mind I was trying to avoid so I constantly kept losing focus to the point where I felt like I had severe ADD. I felt like I was barely functional. Things took 5 times as long as they would've before because of the mental turmoil I faced overthinking every task, my conversations and relationships suffered because I would constantly lose my train of thought in the middle of almost every sentence, and I literally could not even direct my thoughts in a certain direction without getting sidetracked by some clearly illogical irrelevant thing that felt like life or death to me. In pursuit of a better mindset I lost some fundamental mental functions. I never thought it would get to this point. It felt a lot like my own personal hell. I have made some progress in stabilizing my psyche and trying to create a new structure I can rely on, but I'm afraid I'm starting to slide back into my old toxic mindset I originally set out to escape. At this point I'm conflicted. Should I hold onto any mental foundation I can get ahold of and risk not changing my patterns or should I mess with my subconscious more in hopes of achieving my goal at the risk of completely losing my mind again?
I resonate with the Phoenix, as my life and health were brought to ashes. I have spent six years of my life suffering in sickness and darkness. I was born for this fight, and I am winning! I laid in bed for six years, firing different doctors. Those doctors told me things like " we think you are dying". "There is nothing more I can do , go get on opiates for your pain." If you didn't believe in my ability to heal then you were gone. I am a completely and utterly different human being. I want to spend my life helping others who are suffering find relief, peace, hope and wellness. If the only thing I do is help one other person, than it was all worth it. My personality change was a long time coming, but the actual self reflective changes have happened very quickly. If you are out there in the dark and suffering. Please know you are not alone, and there is a way out of the darkness. NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON YOU! Do not allow what many see as the impossibility of your surroundings, struggles, and pain keep you in the dark. The world, your loved ones and strangers may look at you and give up. But, as long as that fire burns within, you are the Phoenix. And you have the vast ability for change, revolution, evolution, health, and absolute happiness! #PhoenixRising #TheLionsGate #NeverGiveUp #YouAreWorthEverything #FearlessHealing
Since I defeated my poly drug addictions I've gone through extreme changes to my psych. From a pessimistic self centered being, to a uplifting, and giving one. I want to leave knowledge behind for others who might find themself lost in a world of technology. The craving for knowledge is what drives me now. I am beyond thankful for diving into the pits of hell, it is what saved me I believe. I'm so aware, alive, creativity has returned. It's been an amazing journey I'd do it all again.
It makes me so happy.. all the thoughts I have.. being taught to me but much more clearer! I.. think a lot. And.. I go through all of these phases and it’s just so cool being able to compare myself and seeing and understanding the philosophy and psychology so clearly.. I love this channel.
This video made me realize how I’m feeling right now is actually normal and healthy, as I’m reintegrating with post secondary education as a perfectionist; and that I hate not getting things “right” the first time around even though that’s impossible for anyone learning a new skill, makes me feel like I’m unworthy of it. But I think in reality it’s the fact that sometimes I just need things to be re-explained, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to try from another source. My bad mentality also probably has a lot of unresolved trauma I don’t deal with, as healthily as I should, but I don’t think anyone could understand anyways. I don’t bottle it in, but I’m not anxious to talk about it, it costed me my job after all. People don’t like people they can’t compartmentalize, so they don’t bother integrating their needs with the standards of the industry. It’s taken a lot to see myself in a positive light, losing my job, the very first job I ever got, made me feel so worthless, I couldn’t look people in the face. It’s a daily struggle, but I get through. It’s all I can do.
This video has come to me at such a perfect time. Thank you so much for making it. I have been dependent on my Mother my whole life. I have struggled to push her away. She constantly tries to help me by giving me money, a place to live, etc. However, I have realized all along that it has been stunting my spiritual and psychological growth. This series of videos has encouraged me to finally break free and step into chaos and pursue my rebirth...thank you again!
You cannot better these videos... absolutely brilliantly put together and are so appealing to me that I feel fortunate to have found them and so grateful to the people who make them
I experienced this in making an active decision to be a Christian after having been into all manner of depraved and quite frankly evil ways of experience. The initial transformation was very disassociating and caused extreme anxiety and fear at the fundamental change taking place within my spirit. In the end I'm much more content and a much better man, all glory to Christ.
This video resonates haaaaard with me. Last year I was diagnosed with panic disorder and then ptsd from working in the children’s ER as a nurse and with major depressive disorder. I fell completely into chaos. I didn’t work for 6 months and basically just smoked weed, consumed any pill I could find, and drank a lot. It was a mess. But it’s true that it’s the chaos that’s necessary for a drastic change. By breaking down my self so far, I’m able to build whatever person I want. It’s the first time I’ve been excited for the future in a very long time. Life is now actually enjoyable because I have a direction now. If I didn’t go as low as I did, I don’t know if I ever would have come to some of the realizations I have now. Thanks for this video, it really gives me a way to explain how I’ve felt over the past year.
So I've been listening for 6 months to the videos hour after hour and they have helped me become that better me.No pills no therapy just just allowing that part of me that want to connect to these teachings.KUDOS guys ...you Rock
When I was taking sociology, my professor showed us data that most major personality changes occurs for men between 20 - 25 and women 14 - 18 during the final development of the frontal lobe.
This video is perfect. I was fired from my job two months ago, and after I got over the mental agony of unemployment, I realized that this was an opportunity to grow. I realize now that I was no longer happy at my job, and now feel fresh and excited to begin the next chapter of my life.
Thank you for this wonderful video. Saving my life as I actively seek to better my personality, heal my past traumas and bavagaite the chaos that we call life.
This just happened to me. I was very anxious, depressed, and had very low self esteem. I can remember an extremely stressful event happened to me just recently. I was so stressed that I was crying in bed in the middle of the night. I kept thinking about all types of stressful scenarios and as I was laying there all my anxieties and negative thoughts just washed away. I almost feel nothing anymore. Like some gear broke in my head and those type of emotions don't work anymore. Sometimes they try to pop through but I can literally feel my brain not being able to turn them on. It's like a lawn mower trying to start and it just stalls out. Its a remarkable feeling. I'm not sure which way this will take me. I'm in the beginning stage of this new personality. I hope this lasts because I definitely don't wont to go back to being miserable anymore, constantly hating myself.
@@rawfish_8.3 I'm doing pretty well now. I started taking head meds and they pretty much changed my life for the better. I do get the occasional dips of depression but overall, I'm not too bad. It's been so long since I felt like that. Shortly after making that comment, I started seeing a therapist also. That period of my life was literally the turning point for me. Thanks for asking.
@@MrBigtime1986 Glad you're doing better. Sounds very similar to what I went through in 2017. Most negative emotions especially anger simply failed to work, they were there but as you said everytime they would come they'd fade instantly. That analogy of something just "clicking" is what I felt as well, was in the shower after my entire life fell apart and I just remember a moment that everything just broke in my head, all I felt was peace and a desire to live. I took that feeling all the way till now and I'm in a much better place in a completely different country and doing things I never imagined I'd be capable of in the past.
I don't think you really want that guys. But hey! If you want, it looks like some Countries are experiencing the collapse of the good time and falling into the hard times. I mean the quote "Hard people create good times, good times create weak people, weak people create hard times and hard times create hard people" America seems to be one of the Countries currently standing on the "weak people create hard times" point. I mean, we even got to see an example of that. When a few lesbian women decided they are independent from America now, of course that erupted into chaos, until some gang took over. Because people absolutely hate a power vaccum. We will have chaos, because people are fighting for a position of power. You may find inner peace and think you're about to vibe while others suffer, but I can assure you, it will take a toll on you too. Unless you're SHIFTERS and the government hasn't found you out.

I would love your opinion on the psychology of time.
Specifically why we don't function off a perfect 13 month calendar instead months are 28,29,30 and 31 days long breaking up the moon pattern and weekends.
My guess is it relates to the matrix scene with morpheus and agent Smith talking about a perfect world and how humans need conflict.
But mostly the months.
I find it fascinating and shocking that in my 40s I had never thought about it before.
(The clock, min, sec 24 hours I can forgive though if you have something to teach me there I would be all ears also)
My best friend led me to your videos over a year ago and I am a better version of myself because of it. Complex philosophical topics that are boiled down into 10 minute quickly absorbable videos are indispensable to me; as I am dyslexic. 1,000 'thank yous' for the beautiful artwork and absolutely no music in your videos.

@Genna Tuelz i love that truly. That we cannot change anything it makes me really happy for some reason i accept everything and fear nothing amazing does not describe this feeling.
Fear can be pleasurable if you reframe it as excitement. The only difference between fear and excitement is attitude.
Mark Caseon man this is beautifully put. I recognized when I would get anxiety I could shift that sinking feeling in my stomach to a feeling of butterflies whenever I shifted my attitude about what I was about to do.
Well then it's not fear. If all you feel is excitement, how boring for you. Without fear, how can you know that what you're doing is right? Feel free to delude yourself and not face fear. It will defeat you in the end.

I relate, mine was like a metamorphosis I never forget it.
@@SistoActivitatemAtm the mind can think up scary shit
To put this into a simple paragraph according to my understanding:
1. Rapid transformations are possible; however, it is much riskier than gradual changes because the volatility may be too big to bear without losing one's sanity.
2. Side idea: It happens most to those who are not content with their lives than the content ones.
3. This rapid transformation's first stage is a stage of chaos. You are deliberately destroying your old and stable way of doing things with an intent to replace with a better one but doing so would hurt your feeling of order and causes you enter into a chaotic dimension.
4. Some deeply sunk into this chaos and make their matters worse by not being able to come out of the hole they dug, the hole is too dark to make sense and see and the longer they spent that time in that darkness, the more they become one with the darkness and the task of positive transformation becomes impossible to them. Some manage to find the diamond and get out of the hole by keeping their sanity in check and allowing themselves to be calm and think through many ways of getting out of that dark hole. Some exercises that help one's sanity in check are meditations and exercising.
5. Last point is that some choose to go through this process despite the risk and some don't due to fear, laziness...or various other reasons. But even if you decide not to go thru these changes, the fact that you are not voluntarily going thru these changes diminishes your freedom and in turn puts you in that dark hole forcefully. So, the video suggests that you wishing not to take action or not doesn't really matter cuz you will be involved in this process anyway so why not take the challenge and overcome it voluntarily instead of doing nothing and regretting later.
Well put
Very well stated and Truth! Such Truth. Gratitude of your comment. 😇
Thank you
Great summary, thanks
But what if the choice is too convoluted. You can't see a way forward.
7:05...THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BREAKDOWN AND A REBIRTH IS THE INDIVIDUAL'S DECISION TO REFUSE DEFEAT. THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH IT.
Very true. The key is to trust yourself irrespective of what comes ahead
you can refuse defeat and still lose. But you can try again later in your life with new ideas.
@@EpicShkun not talking about refusing defeat in the delusional sense, constant defeat should be expected and lessons collected... talking about refusing to allow discouragement to seat any permanent root that would continue to accompany you
@@shatteredsquare true, i think a distinction is good

Im literally doing this now. Waking up at 4, meditation/affirmations, gym, clean food, work until 7, meditation/affirmations, sleep by 9. Sunday is for relaxing and socializing. Reverse engineering my long term goals and taking control of my reward systems. Starving my mind of distractions and improving my ability to focus on what moves the needle. Anything short of this and I tend to slip into apathetic complacency and chronic underlying anger.
How do you feel about this now?
I have a feeling, my Maladaptive Daydreaming will have to be my sacrifice. It has gotten out of control. I have to come to terms with where I'm at and how I look. I also have to forgive myself for old mistakes I made. I ruminate on the past way too much. Self acceptance isn't as easy as it sounds, people. I need your prayers.
What is termed as maladaptive daydreaming is dissociation, usually linked to Complex PTSD. Many times this is due to growing up in dysfunctional family dynamics, otherwise known as the toxic family. To start your recovery, you just need to start. True prayer is ACTION. I wish you well.

This video describes my life recently. The most difficult thing is dealing with people who think you've lost your mind because they expect you to live in the past because they can't control you anymore.
Relentless Pursuer - Renegade of Truth talking sometimes is the wrong thing to do
That's true, I have stopped 'feeling' that other people had control, I have stopped perceiving their needs and feeling empathy towards others, instead, I have empathy for myself- Finally I matter to someone, I matter to myself :)
They try to control you, don't let them.
Yep same here.
My family thinks I’m “sick” because of my way of thinking, I hit them with the straight truths & then think I’m absolutely wrong & that THEIR WAY IS THE “RIGHT WAY”
I understand them tho😂my thoughts and ideas are foreign to them because what they know is all they know. Which is sad when you think about it :/ that’s why I try to be more loving towards them even if they think I’m a psycho 😂
Perfect timing, as I decided to quit doing drugs recently and stop wasting my time and money from getting high. I used to train MMA, my passion, and left it cuz I fell back into addiction. Ty for the motivation!
Jon Tyder congrats man. I'm proud of you!!!! I applaud your courage and bravery. Keep Strong Buddy!!
@-COLOMBIANCHANNEL-TM BRUH
@-COLOMBIANCHANNEL-TM Nobody can contest that of course, however if you reached the point where all of your connections to the world are lost and the only thing that you have left in your life are drugs, then getting high can actually become very unpleasant as the realization of the miserable life you are having ( working all day to make money to buy the drugs ) moves step by step from the subconscious realms into the conscious realms up to the point where getting high becomes a drag. Drugs are fun only while you have your life together and if you can find a way to share all the happiness that you get from using them. At least that is what my friends told me :)
just respect yourself enough ...Jesus will help-conquer those demons
I just made three years clean. I just want to encourage you and wish you the best. I swear, it can get better. At first, getting sober can feel like a living hell. But as this video said, "chaos begets new forms of order." I'm so grateful that I was able to let that part of myself die. I'm actually happy now. Stay strong, man.
"When the pain is great enough, we Will seek change."
Yes, for me it’s the pain experienced at night when I’m stuck with my thoughts for a period. The only way to escape it is to ensure no daunting regrets will remain at the end of the day, particularly from engaging in hedonistic activities/ aversion behaviours. Even if fears of the future fester in my mind I know I did the best I could and am not kept up all night.

Loved this video. Just want to share my own story:
Recently divorced someone who blamed me for everything - I fell down a rabbit hole of intense self loathing and failure only to come out the other side several weeks later with a new vision and outlook on life. Im moving out of my apartment, quitting my dead-end job and buying a work van to live in on the road and start my own business that I’ve been planning for the past 7 years. I also learned that it’s not OK to put up with someone else’s red flags because you think you’ll be able to look past them in the future. That day will never come. Your partner needs to respect you as a person and be mature enough to take responsibility for their own actions.
Most importantly, you need to respect yourself and when the day comes where you must rise from the ashes, you will know. There is no mistaking it.
You didn't get enough like, yet.
So true .
Thanks for sharing that. How have things worked out for you since writing the above?
@@stevearcher6100 boy we are all capable of unimaginable darkness but when people are together you always give or share light to each other's lives so that the monsters never awaken. There has to be someone who just never shares their lights and ends up sucking all the light for their own satisfaction, leaving the other one in ruins. So make sure you never spew your own skewed perception of morality and ethics based on little to no evidence to increase the suffering of someone who has already been in the depths because I detest people like you from the core of my being.
Missing is the mismatch of the sharing couple. One brain among two is not enough. Half brains get on by appeasing each other. It all depends on You. Like every man is an island . He has to adapt , and you have to as well or it’s a mismatch. How much does money make it the cause, many instances are about that.wealth can dump,and make a new life, poor are stuck in the accustomed life of strife. It’s not new anywhere.

This greatly relates to my own psychological rebirth. Almost verbatim. Incredible. I've managed to completely transform myself from the broken, depressed man I was a few years prior. It was all incremental change and power of will. I started fasting 23 hours a day, engaging in rigorous exercise twice daily (sometimes thrice), and intensely educating myself while putting applicably beneficial concepts learned into practice. I have found a great deal of meaning in pursuing difficult things as I now know how said things mold great men. Academy of Ideas has been a great tool and resource in these pursuits. I shall become a supporting member in the very near future. Much love, brother.
I’m happy to hear of your positive journey, but I have a side question pertaining to fasting. How do you handle your fasting on top of exercise without the effects of energy depletion? How many calories do you think you consume a day? Is fasting 18-23 hours a day sustainable with a 9-5 job?
@@mrj4990 Fasting and caloric restriction activate both cellular and genetic pathways that promote energy homeostasis and lifespan extension. AMP-activated protein kinase is a cellular signaling pathway involved in metabolic homeostasis, mitochondrial biogenesis, and autophagy. All of which promote optimal energy and expression of protective genes like the FOXO3A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP. FOX03A is known as the longevity gene and is present in most centenarians and super-centenarians. When one trains in a fasted state, these pathways are greatly amplified and the need for superfluous consumption is greatly attenuated.
It's important to note that both AMP-Kinase and FOXO3A are inhibited by IGF-1 and insulin. Insulin and IGF-1 are secreted during times of feeding. High protein diets, especially those high in animal proteins, will inhibit these expressions as well, as more insulin and IGf-1 is secreted with higher blood levels of amino acids. I follow a protocol called the Age Inhibition regimen (AIR) by Dr. Nun Amen Ra. It all started with an attempt to debunk his what then seemed to be quacky claims. I found no holes and this has been truly the most worthwhile pursuit of my life.
I recently did a 23andMe DNA test. I plugged the raw data into FoundMyFitness and Promethease, both genetic variant assessment tools. I've come to learn I have four different single nucleotide polymorphism in the FOXO3 pathway. I feel this is an epigenetic change and result of strict adherence to the Age Inhibition Regimen. The FOXO3 SNP is present in only about 10% of the world population, so this, for me, has proven the validity of AIR and has intensified my adherence.
I'm currently 5'10 193, very low adiposity, much like my avatar, slightly better. NO DRUGS, just specific nutriceuticals such as resveratrol, curcumin, EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) of green tea, pomegranate extract, green coffee bean extract, and cocoa seed extract(theobromine), berberine and a few other plant-derived compounds.

Im experiencing this right now, transforming my goal directed motivation and fundamentally shifting my paradigm. Cool how this video coincides with my journey.
Search Jed McKenna.
Last year, I had a profound and meaningful goal. It gave my life a great amount of significance and motivation. But at the end of the year, I lost it (the idea was not worth pursuing). Since then, I've been trying to find something else to go after. I'm looking for meaning again. I hope I succeed!
Right there with you, though its a slippery slope on the way up ...
God speed!
@Lord Protector look before you leap.
Something like this can happen to you so quickly...
It's like a slow descent at first, where you find yourself in a dark place in your life, where things become worse and worse until you fall into a pit.
And you climb out of that pit as a changed man.
I went through something like this twice in my life already. First when I was fighting my social anxiety and depression, second time when I (luckily) lost my stressful job and got out of a bad relationship.
You essentially find yourself in a place, where you have no choice but to change, become stronger and move on.
But if you're reading this and you're in a similar situation: You can do it! Stop doubting yourself and keep pushing!
Life always has beautiful things to offer once you move on past all the bullshit.
How did you overcome social anxiety? I am currently experiencing depression : week 3. Starting to climb out of the pit now by gaining these insights and being inspired
I must fight these illusions and be in the world. I have isolated long enough.
@@kali11123 I had therapy, which helped me a lot and ultimately set me on the right track.
But you could start by putting yourself in those social interactions, which you'd normally avoid.
It worked for me by starting small and then moving on to more "stressful" things by the end.
Something like:
-> Going out to buy groceries by myself
-> Taking the bus in the front row and starting a conversation with the bus driver
-> phone calls (used to be one of the most stressful things for me ironically)
-> Going to a bar with a friend for a drink
-> Start a conversation with a girl you find cute
It also helped me, when I realized, that nobody really pays attention to you in your day-to-day life.
Even if the absolutely most embarassing thing happens to you - nobody will remember it after a while.
Don't be ashamed or afraid to start therapy though, if you need to.
I honestly don't know if I could've made it as far as I have, if I didn't.
Stay strong, brother.
Keep me updated on how your journey is going.
This is the 1st time again after a very, very long time that I cried after watching a video. I followed what was said to make a sacrifice, and I just sacrificed something very close and attached to me, -a very strong negative emotion towards a person that i'm harbouring for years. I'm free now. I just had a breakthrough. Thank you.

Yeah it’s a very strange experience.
I honestly didn’t know about this other then my own experience until I watched this.
It’s insane no one discusses this more.
This video has so much truth to it. I spent 6 years of my life with high anxiety, and the last 6 months of that period were spent in depression. I awoke from the depression a new and better person. This was a great summary of my journey through that period.
It's a double edged sword, you are either reborn or trapped in your own misery forever.
Nothing is forever. All is change (:
We get another chance at all times one way or the other
There are no ultimatums in life, only new forms. Every second spent doing something builds upon that something. Spending too much time in thoughts of misery will cripple you for sure.
@@Inj3x very true
Rainbows and butterflys or pain and misery. Most people choose reality which is in it self is both. I choose none but it's not a choice it just happends. Free will is an illusion. As the concepts of men are the tools of god, god always wins. What and where is god? The ones that know wouldn't tell you nor would you understand if they did. Like a naked creature trying to swim in the thickest mud and thinks it can't but knows it can and visa versa.

What better person can I be with than the 1 who understands, values & seeks wisdom of life.
Jesus Christ is my best friend. The only one I can truly trust. Bless you.
Wow. That’s happened to me. I didn’t know this was a process and that it was actually recognised and understood by other people - I thought I was just crazy. I thought it was just chaos. So It’s nice to hear it explained to me like this.
This channel is helping me a lot. 🙏🏻 thank you
What happened
Look into "positive disintegration".
This video showed me that I’m currently in the middle of a ‘rebirth’. Changed a lot of relationships and tendencies over the last month and I’ve felt like I’ve been leaving something behind and chasing something new but haven’t been able to tell what they were. When he started talking about the usefulness of meditation and breathing exercises I laughed out loud because I’ve been gravitating towards those more than ever in my life because my anxiety has been through the roof. It’s hard changing yourself out of no where. People think you’ve lost it and if enough people start to tell you your change is bad, you start to wonder if they’re right. You have to trust yourself and remind yourself that there is a reason you had to make this change and keep going. Don’t let anyone hold you back.

But yeah it makes sense most people aren't freed just by watching a video, however the video is a tool to reach freedom
13 years of therapy and 14 months of AA, I find this video to be my experience. I have tried to explain my experience when I have been asked and I couldn't. Great video as always.

I pray you got your 2 year sobriety milestone! I am 20 years sober and even have beer and pain medicine in my home and have NO urge what so ever for it. God did me a solid and I don't know if you believe, but He has your back too. Even if you don't know it's Him pulling the strings behind the curtain. He's waiting. Great job! Stay the course and when things go wrong don't go with them.
@@divineknowledge4607 Hey, thanks for reaching out. By the grace of God, I will have 4 years in May. AA has been the best decision of my life, and I am forever grateful. To feel the love of God and to be able to experience with my family, blessed!
This has happened to me. I even had a very vivid dream with me dying and being reborn to a better version of me. When this happened I woke up feeling one of the most beautiful feelings I could ever feel, it was super intense, but I felt an enlightening . You can become who you want to be. You really can live a happy life.
I have been suffering for many years from chronic insomnia, anxiety disorders and depression. I had developed bad psychosomatic habits and behaviors like eating disorder that even worsened my situation. I had no job, no friends, nothing. And I had problems with my parents and family. It's has been over 3 years when I reached the bottom of my depression and I could not take it anymore. I wanted to commit suicide. I live in a country where the medicine and drugs are not easily accessible, and too expensive, if it wasnt I would end up a drug addict or dead. Because I was too scared of pain to cut myself or jump under train or smth, but I thought of dying almost every day. I prayed for it.
In the end something clicked in me. It was like I lost so much of me, that there were nothing left and at that point I started feeling life. I started feeling life because there was no Me.
I started my journey of change and I work on building my habits every day. Every day I think of what a gift the life is and I try to learn something new and do a good thing and reconsider my bad actions even the small ones, like judging others.
I forgot the past, I improved my relationship with parents I lost 15 kg and etc
I want to practice meditations, and many more spiritual practices
Even tho I still feel scared of what I have gone through but I am so grateful for it
I don't know if it was a psychological rebirth but it was a rebirth for me and I am now convinced that It might repeat again
But the next time I will embrace it
Thanks for writing this
The timing of this video is PERFECT!! Thank you for sharing such knowledge in your videos. It’s truly helping me get my own self back.
Mario Chillogallo this is an example of synchronicity I would say In fact,
i keep coming back to this video time and time again with new eyes, because one cannot be satisfied with just one serving of wisdom
Thank you, really needed this. I will, with all my willpower, trying to be present again without ritalin medication. Though it has helped me tremendously with my autism and adhd, at work, with productivity, the everyday life to be honest. I felt a breaking point a couple of days ago, where that need, or addiction starts to lurk back at me again. I will not give up in this, its going to be hard, and will take a lot of willpower and courage. A lot of mind ghosts will probably appear again. But I will not surrender. Once again, thank you for this video.
Wow. This has been my 2022. My sacrifice was mostly involuntary. The dysfunction grew too much and I was forced to make was choice. The pain was excruciation. Now I'm accepting the descent instead of resisting it. I am embracing the changes and seeing where they lead.
Absolutely fascinating video, thank you for the knowledge and validation!
I've undergone extreme mental change over the past year and a half and when it says sacrificing that part of yourself can result in initial chaos and struggle that shit is extremely true. I used to be very angry at the world, for the way we treat people and once I finally decided to abandon that anger I was dysfunctional, I didn't know what to do or think for a little while before some good thinking habits set it and improved my mental status extremely
One day I will do something for who ever does this content. This is only an articulate way of Expressing what I have been living all my life and specially the last years. Thanks so much.
I am honored to have this channel on notification.
Approximately a year ago I made the conscious decision to allow who I was to die in order to become who I needed. I remember this very clearly because I let myself try and form my own opinion about my mother, whos narcissism destroyed the family. Doing so caused me to break into psychosis, specifically hypomania, which eventually led to me discovering I have a few mental illnesses. Despite the fact that this decision triggered enough stress in my life for intrusive suicidal thoughts to settle in, it has changed my life for the better. I'm also not so sure I'd be here today if I hadn't.
Everything in this video that was said, I have applied to myself in some way; it's astonishing. I only discovered Jung psychology less than a month ago, through the artwork of Peter Birkäuser, so I'm in disbelief of how accurate this video is of myself in the past year.
I'm probably going to listen to this at least 20 times today.
I found this video six months ago, right before the end of the year. My life was in complete chaos, chaos ruled my daily existence and all I thought to do was partake in unhealthy coping mechanisms to get through each day.
After finding this video I took a complete plunge into hell, literally listening to war music daily as I removed every dopamine addiction and bad habit from my life. I reintroduced every positive habit that i could think of would serve me, and I journaled in my free time to help navigate the waters.
Lasted about three weeks until the stress kicked my ass and plunged me further than I was able to handle, and alot of bad habits returned.
At the start it was a few weeks I'd return to the bad habits before my next plunge, but the longer I stay on this journey - the less I have to return to "safety", and the less time I have to spend there.
This video and the knowledge it contains without a doubt changed my life in ways I could have never expected. I consume knowledge daily, and have yet to find anything close to as powerful as this video.
Thanks to the sacrifice I mostly live in a state of order, where positivity, purpose, passion, drive and hope fuels my daily existence.
Despite the absolute agony of that first dive into hell, id do it all over again in a heartbeat. The bigger the sacrifice, the bigger the reward has now become my mantra.
Thanks again for the awesome content, keep up the great work
Tell me, is it doable this way?
I need to fix myself up in this respect. Managed to stay afloat with excercise and I do have some interests lined up to dive in and maybe even make money with along the line.
But I need to kick my weed habit, even though I doubt I can truly stop. Just enough distance to keep some of my time and money free for constructive thinking, feeling and doing.
That's all I need.
This is absolutely amazing! Having recently went through this, a small part of me still questions my sanity and interpretation of events. I also question my ability to rise from the ashes, but this added some validity to my experiences. Thank you!
"The sacrifice is critical in the process of rebirth, for the simple reason that often what keeps us locked in our problems is the inability to recognize that ways of life that served us in our past may morph from promoters of our well-being, to the acute cause of our suffering. A sacrifice can take countless forms, and may be as simple as the quitting of a dead-end job. Sacrifice can engender a psychological rebirth. The snake which cannot shed its skin perishes."
In my estimation, any practice without an underpinning philosophy can only ever be drudgery, meanwhile any philosophy without practical implementation can only ever amount to sophistry.
Well said
Looking back, I realize how much I have changed and how much I have suffered during that change.
The change itself is not obvious, nor is the changing. It only becomes obvious when you compare yourself with your old self.
This video comes at a perfect time, as many people are talking about psychological deaths & rebirths. Collectively, it seems that many of us are experiencing these dramatic changes together. May it be for the better.
Jon Harris I feel like the world is headed towards chaos, a good type of chaos, but hard to predict.
This outlines my personal experience from October 2019 - March 2020. The process is intense. I feel fortunate that I was able to come out on the other side and would say confidently that it very much is a transformation of personality and psychology. This video captures the essence of the process well.
Give us more detailed on what happened

When going through some of the darkest periods in my life , I come back to your videos. Thank you
I went through this at age 27. Complete mental break. Became a different person a few months later. A better person.
I know for a fact i'll be back so notes to my future self:
The person you are and the person you want to be is very different. So your sacrifices are naturally more hard.
1. In order to win, you need to sacrifice your habits ( eating a lot, spending all of your time in phone- and i know we use it to read books and listen music but we need to limit it so we can get our shit done. )
2. In order to not getting your heart broken, you need to sacrifice your kindness. Your kindness made you end up in your room with a bottle of painkillers and a letter. Learn to not give a shit, learn to hate people and then act on it, learn to be furious instead of sad. Be angry. Use that anger for changing.
Also, there's a difference between being kind and being a doormat. Considering our life, you know which one is us.

this may be happening to me (i think it started 2 months ago) and your video reassured me that im probably on the right path. every sentence is relatable and contains so much wisdom, and i feel like your videos helped me a lot during the past 2 years, thank you for creating them.
Discipline = Freedom
I have found the more I do, the more I live a rewarding life of purpose.
I meditate, journal, read books. take walks, cold plunge, and practice yoga.
I lift weights, do box jumps, and push/pull my Rouge sled.
Some of these endeavors are reserved for certain days of the week, others are practiced daily.
But at the end of the week they're all completed - I feel empowered, self reliant, and accomplished.
This has been a part of my life for several years, and if I discover eventually that it all produces a temporary freedom and/or some surfaced facade, so be it.
But for now, it gives me Devine joy.
"Let us be up and doing" ❤
Wow, I’m fairly certain I had this happen to me going on 10 years ago now. I used to be an extrovert, always joking around and laughing, making friends and hanging out with people, then out of nowhere I did a complete 180 and became an introvert, rarely socialized, have few friends, don’t really laugh or joke around anymore.
For the longest time I never knew what happened and why I suddenly did a complete 180, for the longest time I was lost, I didn’t know what was wrong with me, why I was no longer the person that I was. This video hits the nail on the head, if only I had seen/heard of this topic back then I wouldn’t have been so lost for so long, but because I was lost and have begun to find my way I feel that I am blessed with a new sense of resolve and wisdom, more clear headed and more focused.
Thanks for the great video. Subscribed!

@Jay Bee , when you reach a point in life where you will let go of a misguided reality within your belief system, the simplicity of truth in fact of your physical beingness becomes apparent. For myself, that point came from living a lie for half of my lifetime. Trauma compounded mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually to be the intervention I needed to become whole true self.
@@kevinkinney5445 exactly, i comes down to being honest and stop lieing to yourself, you've got to live your life, not something you've made up in your mind.

Amazing video. I have gone through radical change and sacrifice that lead me to chaos. I understand now. And I am happier. I will become who I want.
If only these videos were around when I was “suicidal” and lost.
These are the videos that deserve to be trending over the mainstream viral ones 🙄🙄🙄
the trick is that you probably wouldn't have appreciated this so much then
Glad to hear your much stronger. I too have battled that spirit. God bless you honey. ❤
They will not understand the true worth of it....trust me on that...its to us who made the fall...
if you're around now, you won
Interesting that mental breakdown and radical change both have the same origin and one is prerequisite to another.
This was a very secular explanation for the message the Messiah preached. He told us to deny ourselves, (let go of our habits, will, and emotions during this transformation) take up our cross (own the suffering and bare the burden and struggle of going through this transformation) and follow Him ( chase after righteousness and healthy moral living). In my experience, The Most High and His Son as well as the Holy Spirit has been a major key to my success in enduring a rapid personality change. Prior to this change I had endured great suffering due to lifestyle choices and habits that I couldn't let go of on my own strength. I found strength in God and He has continued to strengthen me, and fill that void that existed after I let go of my old ways and personality. What I found most helpful about this video was the normalization of the stress and anxiety that occurs while pursuing balance after a radical change in ones life has occurred. I suffered several panic attacks and waves of intense fear early in my journey and still struggle with anxiety today, although it has gotten less intense. I appreciated and was comforted when the narrator explained that it was normal and that nothing was wrong with me. A huge weight was lifted. Thank you for this video! I pray that all who seek to radically change their lives allow God and the Holy Spirit to do the work for you! Man alone does not have the strength to endure the nessicary suffering that comes along with this change. God bless!
Right about 3 minutes in is when I realized some things about myself.
Great video
This video is a brilliant explanation of of rebirth.
My first rebirth came over 20 years ago after an involuntary period of psychosis that I got through I medicated and eventually recognised it for what it was and took back control.
Since then, I am more aware of myself and what is happening around me.
When the discomfort of staying the same is greater than the discomfort of changing then change is desired and chosen.
I've been at rock bottom and HAD to sacrifice Pride and ego by Submission. I was humbled by the failure of my self determinism. I admitted defeat and reached out. I had to get out of my way. My thinking was and still often is dead wrong but Pride and Vanity wouldn't let me see it. Humility (for me) is the first of the Virtues. Without it change is not possible.
Im 1.30 minutes in and damn I realized I've hit the gold! I've been searching for content/channel like this for weeks now and I've finally found this hidden gem! Your videos are amazing, thank you!
Your videos come to me in a form of synchronicity.
I can completely relate to this video. This psychological chaos is exactly what I've been going through over the past few months. In my attempt to change my worldview to a more positive, productive, and fulfilling one, I ended up questioning everything and being unsure in myself. I could not stay focused because I was afraid that what I was focused on was coming from the old state of mind I was trying to avoid so I constantly kept losing focus to the point where I felt like I had severe ADD. I felt like I was barely functional. Things took 5 times as long as they would've before because of the mental turmoil I faced overthinking every task, my conversations and relationships suffered because I would constantly lose my train of thought in the middle of almost every sentence, and I literally could not even direct my thoughts in a certain direction without getting sidetracked by some clearly illogical irrelevant thing that felt like life or death to me. In pursuit of a better mindset I lost some fundamental mental functions. I never thought it would get to this point. It felt a lot like my own personal hell. I have made some progress in stabilizing my psyche and trying to create a new structure I can rely on, but I'm afraid I'm starting to slide back into my old toxic mindset I originally set out to escape. At this point I'm conflicted. Should I hold onto any mental foundation I can get ahold of and risk not changing my patterns or should I mess with my subconscious more in hopes of achieving my goal at the risk of completely losing my mind again?
I resonate with the Phoenix, as my life and health were brought to ashes. I have spent six years of my life suffering in sickness and darkness. I was born for this fight, and I am winning! I laid in bed for six years, firing different doctors. Those doctors told me things like " we think you are dying". "There is nothing more I can do , go get on opiates for your pain." If you didn't believe in my ability to heal then you were gone. I am a completely and utterly different human being. I want to spend my life helping others who are suffering find relief, peace, hope and wellness. If the only thing I do is help one other person, than it was all worth it. My personality change was a long time coming, but the actual self reflective changes have happened very quickly. If you are out there in the dark and suffering. Please know you are not alone, and there is a way out of the darkness. NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON YOU! Do not allow what many see as the impossibility of your surroundings, struggles, and pain keep you in the dark. The world, your loved ones and strangers may look at you and give up. But, as long as that fire burns within, you are the Phoenix. And you have the vast ability for change, revolution, evolution, health, and absolute happiness! #PhoenixRising #TheLionsGate #NeverGiveUp #YouAreWorthEverything #FearlessHealing
Since I defeated my poly drug addictions I've gone through extreme changes to my psych. From a pessimistic self centered being, to a uplifting, and giving one. I want to leave knowledge behind for others who might find themself lost in a world of technology. The craving for knowledge is what drives me now.
I am beyond thankful for diving into the pits of hell, it is what saved me I believe. I'm so aware, alive, creativity has returned. It's been an amazing journey I'd do it all again.
It makes me so happy.. all the thoughts I have.. being taught to me but much more clearer! I.. think a lot. And.. I go through all of these phases and it’s just so cool being able to compare myself and seeing and understanding the philosophy and psychology so clearly.. I love this channel.
This video made me realize how I’m feeling right now is actually normal and healthy, as I’m reintegrating with post secondary education as a perfectionist; and that I hate not getting things “right” the first time around even though that’s impossible for anyone learning a new skill, makes me feel like I’m unworthy of it. But I think in reality it’s the fact that sometimes I just need things to be re-explained, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to try from another source.
My bad mentality also probably has a lot of unresolved trauma I don’t deal with, as healthily as I should, but I don’t think anyone could understand anyways. I don’t bottle it in, but I’m not anxious to talk about it, it costed me my job after all. People don’t like people they can’t compartmentalize, so they don’t bother integrating their needs with the standards of the industry.
It’s taken a lot to see myself in a positive light, losing my job, the very first job I ever got, made me feel so worthless, I couldn’t look people in the face. It’s a daily struggle, but I get through. It’s all I can do.
This video came to me during a time when I needed it the most. Thank you for making this knowledge available to me.
This video has come to me at such a perfect time. Thank you so much for making it. I have been dependent on my Mother my whole life. I have struggled to push her away. She constantly tries to help me by giving me money, a place to live, etc. However, I have realized all along that it has been stunting my spiritual and psychological growth. This series of videos has encouraged me to finally break free and step into chaos and pursue my rebirth...thank you again!
You cannot better these videos... absolutely brilliantly put together and are so appealing to me that I feel fortunate to have found them and so grateful to the people who make them
I experienced this in making an active decision to be a Christian after having been into all manner of depraved and quite frankly evil ways of experience. The initial transformation was very disassociating and caused extreme anxiety and fear at the fundamental change taking place within my spirit. In the end I'm much more content and a much better man, all glory to Christ.
Reality is found in Christ. Every time I stray and get into trouble, He has ALWAYS put me back on a stable footing.
Amen

This video resonates haaaaard with me. Last year I was diagnosed with panic disorder and then ptsd from working in the children’s ER as a nurse and with major depressive disorder. I fell completely into chaos. I didn’t work for 6 months and basically just smoked weed, consumed any pill I could find, and drank a lot. It was a mess. But it’s true that it’s the chaos that’s necessary for a drastic change. By breaking down my self so far, I’m able to build whatever person I want. It’s the first time I’ve been excited for the future in a very long time. Life is now actually enjoyable because I have a direction now. If I didn’t go as low as I did, I don’t know if I ever would have come to some of the realizations I have now. Thanks for this video, it really gives me a way to explain how I’ve felt over the past year.
So I've been listening for 6 months to the videos hour after hour and they have helped me become that better me.No pills no therapy just just allowing that part of me that want to connect to these teachings.KUDOS guys ...you Rock

This video is perfect. I was fired from my job two months ago, and after I got over the mental agony of unemployment, I realized that this was an opportunity to grow. I realize now that I was no longer happy at my job, and now feel fresh and excited to begin the next chapter of my life.
Thank you for this wonderful video. Saving my life as I actively seek to better my personality, heal my past traumas and bavagaite the chaos that we call life.
This just happened to me. I was very anxious, depressed, and had very low self esteem. I can remember an extremely stressful event happened to me just recently. I was so stressed that I was crying in bed in the middle of the night. I kept thinking about all types of stressful scenarios and as I was laying there all my anxieties and negative thoughts just washed away. I almost feel nothing anymore. Like some gear broke in my head and those type of emotions don't work anymore. Sometimes they try to pop through but I can literally feel my brain not being able to turn them on. It's like a lawn mower trying to start and it just stalls out. Its a remarkable feeling. I'm not sure which way this will take me. I'm in the beginning stage of this new personality. I hope this lasts because I definitely don't wont to go back to being miserable anymore, constantly hating myself.
That sounds so interesting! How are you doing now? Which direction did it take you?
@@rawfish_8.3 I'm doing pretty well now. I started taking head meds and they pretty much changed my life for the better. I do get the occasional dips of depression but overall, I'm not too bad. It's been so long since I felt like that. Shortly after making that comment, I started seeing a therapist also. That period of my life was literally the turning point for me. Thanks for asking.
@@MrBigtime1986 Glad you're doing better.
Sounds very similar to what I went through in 2017. Most negative emotions especially anger simply failed to work, they were there but as you said everytime they would come they'd fade instantly. That analogy of something just "clicking" is what I felt as well, was in the shower after my entire life fell apart and I just remember a moment that everything just broke in my head, all I felt was peace and a desire to live.
I took that feeling all the way till now and I'm in a much better place in a completely different country and doing things I never imagined I'd be capable of in the past.
I'm in the process of ending my 12 year relationship...The universe sends this to guide me.
Good luck 🙏 Great attitude for your journey 👏😊
how did it go?
Take care.💝
God puts things in place for a reason. And this came at the perfect time.
Great pain and suffering led me here.
I've been there. My heart goes out to you both. It's tough, but ultimately for the better.
We require chaos. Enough peace. If peace is enslavement than I want chaos which is freedom from what binds you.
We need total economic collapse. It will be a good opportunity for changes.
Peace is not the same as inner peace. With inner peace you can move through both peace and chaos.
You need both.
I don't think you really want that guys. But hey! If you want, it looks like some Countries are experiencing the collapse of the good time and falling into the hard times.
I mean the quote "Hard people create good times, good times create weak people, weak people create hard times and hard times create hard people"
America seems to be one of the Countries currently standing on the "weak people create hard times" point.
I mean, we even got to see an example of that. When a few lesbian women decided they are independent from America now, of course that erupted into chaos, until some gang took over. Because people absolutely hate a power vaccum. We will have chaos, because people are fighting for a position of power. You may find inner peace and think you're about to vibe while others suffer, but I can assure you, it will take a toll on you too. Unless you're SHIFTERS and the government hasn't found you out.
This channel is the best discovery of the year. The match of the authors and quotes are incredible.
Great work, guys.
One of my favourite channel with high quality content. It's a hidden gem!
