Dude, you're a walking stream of shower thoughts. The way you've organized those perspectives, structure them in a way that makes sense and put it out into the world is just breath-taking. Please, for the sake of humanity, keep doing what you're doing.
Love this: "… got a job and accepted the company's goals as their own and created an identity around the job title that they were given. And that unconscious misalignment leads to dread, despair, and the death of a soul that leaves a robotic, animalistic corpse of a human being that lives in a perpetual state of survival."
Yesss exactly, we are constantly evolving and learning. It’s impossible to be one “true self” since to other’s perspective we’re copying others, when in reality we are complex creatures which are influenced by a vast diverse range of sources. We do not live in solitary confinement, we are social beings that do things.
As Schopenhauer said, “A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.”
😂 Love your content, Dan. I isolated myself for ~6 years. I isolated myself because I became self-aware; I was finally honest with myself, and a flood of insecurity destroyed my sense of self. I used those 6 years to learn everything I could about myself. Why do humans do the things they do? What is spirit? Why is religion a superpower in this world? What is God? It was when I re-integrated back into society that I truly tested myself. The battleground where your understanding comes to play is when you connect with others. It's also where I regained my confidence by seeing my understanding flourish.
same for 2 year, the extrem minimalism volcel nofap striaght edge vegan went far.. now what.. back to real life.. some coffee some video game.. some ego trip of music drawing writing.. some dream of becoming ascetic monk even the wish to become ascetic is ironic
Went through something similar. I’m very happy that Jesus called me, and drew me close to Him in that time. I’m working on integrating back into community at the moment 🙌🏼 without losing God or myself this time around
I've started to listen to myself more and more each day. Hearing my own voice in my head sometimes scares me, but it saves from pushing myself way too far. Understanding who I am, is a lifelong journey.
I think this is why travelling for 6 months away from anyone who ever knew you is incredibly powerful. You ditch potential paradigms that are not you and embrace new ones or potentially old ones that you had buried due to conditioning. I even take it a step further and think back to how I was when I wa sa child before conditioning then I work from there.
"I think everyone just wants to feel understood; for their soul to be sanctioned in the safety of acceptance. But why? Don’t they see how infinite the world is? What is an ant to matter in a pool of magma? Does that answer even matter? Wouldn’t it solve that endless mystery to our miscellaneous existence? These are questions that may define one’s reality, and to obey such knowledge shall lead one down the narrow path. Let me ask you this: in the endless war of water against rock, who wins? I think canyons would know.." I wrote this in February 2016... you reminded me instantly of it when you said "neural networks are carved out in your brain like the Grand Canyon with flowing water..." and I didn't remember what my message was until I pulled it up to paste it here. man, you've been really breaking my coefficient of static friction 💨💨 thank you 🙏
Whether you like it or not , your going to be my mentor for the future I want . Sadly, I’m already 45 , but I can’t live another year without improving . I have always had great ideas and writings but gave up on myself and became an addict 15 years ago . I can’t waste another year, so I will start by consuming everything you have out here. You make perfect sense. Thank you so much for existing !
Im a 16 year old aspiring musician/ artist. Your video has completely changed my means of thinking about my authenticity and how I value it so much. Its given me so much insight to what i should do and work on, as well as how I should simply be authentic. Thank you so much 🖤🖤🖤
I agree with most of what you say in this video. I have realised that I am solely responsible for my own well-being and mental health, and that has freed me from the weight of the burden of other people's opinions. I love being by myself because I am at my most productive and creative then. Only when I confront myself, I grow as a person. I treat life as a game now, where every day I need to score a little bit better than I did yesterday. It's fun and challenging, and I'd rather be by myself and be a little better everyday, than be around people and stagnate 💕
Beautifully said. This video came to me at the right time. I'm seventeen, and I have about a week left until I can apply to university/college. I want to take a break. I want to unlearn the path of becoming a slave. I feel lost, I've been thinking about how I don't like the systems in which we live in. It's not soul fulfilling. I want to free myself from these programs, I don't know where to start but I am trying. I really appreciate the things you are bringing up, especially with the spiritual aspect (I think in the same way when you said at the beginning " to have an open mind towards the the spiritual way of saying these things and not writing it off as like hippie or new age", you organized it so perfectly, I am always afraid of being labeled like that.) I laughed at that analogy of the room with friends and social media, made my day haha!
As someone who has been isolated almost all my life (22 now), it is nice to finally be able to resonate with the thought of being able to question the norm. I am also a very visual learner, and you are one of the few people who are able to explain this in a diagram which is far more effective for me than anything else. Just stumbled across your channel, this is probably some of the best advice out there. Thank you!
I never had the chance to practice or really discover my self For the sake of my survival I had to sacrife that I kept bottling up my emotioms I don't even know how many nights I spent crying in silence I got used to hiding myself and being invisible, It got to a point I started experiencing derealisation Because I was always Alone When I felt helpless, when I felt hurt, afraid or genuenly happy everything.. It wasn't the obvious for me that I could just share that and expect to receive comfort no..in fact the opposite so mostly kept everything to myself I understood its what I should do But the more you keep things to yourself, your doubts, your fears, your emotions, your thoughts... The more you lose yourself And one day you look in the mirror and you realize how empty you really are, You realize what you've been doing all this time You realize you've might lost yourself forever and ll just have to live with the pain for the rest of your life The pain of being the killer of your unborn self and the pain of knowing youre not the real you every time you wake up and might never will be I didn't chose to become numb I didn't chose to be this person
Dan, your third eye is wide open! I literally was just telling someone this and I learned it from watching a movie. I kept telling them "Don't be yourself". When we do things that we normally don't do thats when our lives usually change for the better.
Another reason why we can never truly be ourselves, because our brains are always self-monitoring. We pay way more attention to how others come across and adjust our presentation and behavior based on the circumstances. You’ll never meet the same person twice sadly.
ahh the video just keeps getting better and better! "Balance does not mean split down the middle. Balance means a conscious effort to prevent either extreme from taking over."
Personally, I am awear of the thought patterns that brought me here, and as you said, I am not used to being "myself" I was a mega mix of different notions opinions and beliefs .... Most people live in autopilot until something clicks. The act of reprogramming is completely worthy yet daunting. Habits and rituals is what I am working on, to become sovereign to my complete being. Thank you for this video.
I’m also a couple toes still in the global programming but it’s quickly dissolving. But it’s an upriver battle to achieve the flow, but I’m experiencing it more and more. But beyond that upriver battle is a downwards stream of constant refinement.
Everytime I watch Dan Koe I get ideas for my business so I make it a point to watch at least 2 20-30minutes videos of his everyday as I walk to college and back
It's interesting how lately I've been putting into practice most of the things you tell almost unconsciously, as if I was timidly sketching new habits but now watching your videos where you expose and explain I see everything much more clearly. New follower Dan!
This is so important. If a person watches influencers everyday all day and I can speak for myself, it really does distort your ability to make up your own mind about life. Don't get me wrong, it really is good to follow people that share the same values as you and gain inspiration, thought provoking ideas, and to challenge ones thinking. But if one depends on an influencer to make their mind up, then that's not good. All and all this is good stuff you are putting out there Dan!
i listened to alot of others (yt videos) and i just started recording myself about my thoughts, what i thought about, motivating myself, etc... and i listen to myself moreso now than in the past. i normally talk to myself out loud... my best self comes from talking to myself...
It's good to see someone cut through the ways some of these "emergent paradigm" resources are often misused or lack clarity and just rehashed into shit by other content creators. The qualify of content in most places is so low where a relaitvely common sense quote by some Twitter user or current "spiritual" guru is seen as wisdom. I think the outer dissolution in the world is creating this hunger for structure and meaning among the debree.
I think you can be yourself but not around others. It’s not really fair to be yourself around others. I think being yourself is feeling authentic emotion and thinking authentic insights in the moment and that’s not what the other person needs depending on what I feel or what I’m thinking. With other people you have to be “authentic enough” so the relational field between you is “positive enough.” Without other people you can’t individuate. You can’t help them and they can’t help you see, think, feel and experience in different ways. You just recycle your past and it gets stale.
I’ve said this like 4 times in other videos but somehow you always manage to say exactly what was on my mind in the current week. The fact you said that you’re also still bogged down by the programming is a level of self reflection that most don’t have.
This may be a lot for "a youtube comment" but what the hell. I found you not long ago, searching for the next "Level Up" in my life. Ten years ago I was in prison and coming to the end of a decade of hard drug abuse/use. I studied Dr. Joe dispenza , got into meditation and went underground down every "rabbit hole" there is. From Quantum Physics, ancient knowledge, astrology , sacred geometry etc etc etc. I have been drug free for 8 years and in those eight years built my entire life back to something worth living. I know that life works similar to a simulation and that what we take aim at we get. That being said, another man named Dan came into my reality from youtube 8 years ago and was like a virtual "father figure" to me. Now with everything you do per the creator economy (what i've been seeking) You also are Dan. Just funny how it all works. I'm grateful for you man. I feel like "this is the next level" type energy joining MM and all. Truly grateful! Looking forward to the future.
After power of now, life became a magical Synchronicity and i am sure u showing up on my feeds and the 100% resonance with u shows i am on the way to my next stage. Thank u for everything u do.
I don’t know if I’ll ever start a business but your advice on personal development has found me at a major fork in the road and I’m very thankful for your organized expressions of valuable information.
Commitment to self-mastery is the true source of authenticity. It represents the perfect balance unique to each individual that is the transcendence of their programmatic constructs liberated through the creative synthesis of how one chooses to embody their awareness! Elevation to that level requires a great degree of separation from cultural noise! yeehaw thanks for the epic presentation mate!
I just found you a few days ago and I love every video I’ve watched so far! I’m like, “this dude gets my brain.” 🎉😂❤ I’m a 35 year old, homeschooling mom of three, in a completely different stage of life- but your perspective is totally on point for me. Thanks for making this content! I appreciate it! 💪🎉
"Why do you want to live like this" ...struck me because I've been looping ,seething with resentment for days now over a situation and irregardless of writing" not to do this" in my journal daily. Focusing on that statement snapped me out of it....ruminating on the negative is hell...
if we didn't have phones, or at least the internet, then we would be subjected to a life of (almost predetermined) conditioning with barely any chance of seeing the world from radically different perspectives. Social media can enable us to take the power into our own evolution by giving any of us a viable channel to express ourselves with. Previously, when televised media was the standard, the only things we could watch were being broadcasted on select channels, with other channels even at a premium, yet still no control over the content. Now, I can constantly challenge the stimuli I'm presented with against countless different views to gain alternative perspectives and see how they resonate with my own inner truths
Dan, you're authenticity is really fun to listen to and get inspiration from. You've been a digital mentor of mine for a few months now, so thank you for the content you put out like this. You've been a huge inspiration for my videos and YT channel here as well. God bless and keep going!!
There's a self and it's one and unique, everything else is identity. If you want to be one with the self you have to suppress your identity. Good luck with that.
What a wonderful mind and articulate concise. Brilliant way to share your gift of understanding. We need you thank you for your selfless contributions to the good of humanity. I want to share my mind too but I don't know how to organize it all like you so efficiently and beautifully do. Wow. I'm a forever fan! Underlying...I heard nothing but pure good intentions pouring from your heart. With a deeply engrained intent tattooed on your soul. Purity through karmic understanding is something you have found. humanity needs your precious jewels of priceless wisdom so they can help confirm the messages they are receiving through coincidences and cosmic clues that indeed there soul has led them wisely to the truth. Truth is felt because it has a vibrational frequency pattern that is recognized easily when one becomes or embodies the truth and trains the mind to find alternatives to lying and creating false realities they themselves did not actually experience there for is not in the mind as a memory. One can also sense the vibrations of factual occurances being recalled by another vs the energetic signatures one creates around himself when he is creating from imagination or memorized script. One can even sense the vibrations of false information before it is even thought up by the thinker intending to stear your mind away from the areas that make them uncomfortable to focus on. I learned there is an entire hidden world of truth and hidden information you can unlock the door to by doing all you can to speak truthful words only. The thing moms used to say about not saying anything if you don't have anything nice has more power than we could of ever known. Don't say words that can harm you or others. It made me more gentle with delicate information that is uncomfortable to share. Tell others of thier negative traits as you yourself would want to be informed of something others didn't like about you. Kindly and gently. Calmly and with compassion
Stumbled across this video during my quiet time Dan, at 4am. Profound timing and reinforcement that I'm not as crazy as my peers think (not that I care). I cut out the news and social media addiction/distraction 10 months ago to free up time to design the day/life I want to create. I'm still working on it, but with much less stress and more control than ever before. Really appreciate your work. My synapses are firing. I'll need to check if that is just because I like that your views align with mine. We believe what we want to believe right?
Great stuff. I'm going through it now. It's a time of self discipline and discovering.Being betrayed and ghosted by friends into making new connections from scratch to find productive purposes. It's the hardest thing there is and raw true masculinity.
Something I'm always thinking about as well haha "we believe what we want to believe" and that shapes what content we produce, who follows along, and who believes it. Neverending battle I suppose
@@DanKoeTalks I think it's easier to manage if the goal is to find the truth. Ego always has something to say about that though. So, I try and put a gag around mine when it's too noisy 😷
Another cracking insightful video. You said to get obsessed with one thing, I think you are it (in a healthy way). Your way of thinking is so inspiring and is definitely helping me as I navigate my desired path. What I like is that you are backing up what you are saying with good wholesome stuff. As a dopamine chaser and dopamine dealer (great way to introduce yourself at a party, thanks for that), I am always looking for a quick fix, but I am beginning to rethink that way of thinking, so thank you. 🙏🏽
hey dan, just want to say, legit it feels like yesterday that you were at 1k subs. Thanks for answering all of my comments that I left at that time. I know that you are at that point where you can't do that anymore, but I think that's a beautiful thing for some reason. your growth on this channel has inspired me to start my own channel(not this one) and just want to thank you.
HIGHLY recommend everybody who watched this curate their feed. What do I mean? Select "not interested and "Don't recommend channel" to any content that is not focused on clarity, skills or people you want to LIVE like. Less politics, less programming, less BS. More content which encourages you like Dan Koe's Or install an extension that hides YT extensions so you HAVE to SEARCH for the content you want to view. Such a good thing to do. Gives you more control over what is being programmed to you.
We call that part of us that does the breathing, talking, motor functions, etc. "X." X does what's appropriate for the information received from the Awareness Function, or Real "I," which is the part that is aware that it is having an experience. In other words, "Me." I provide the "What," X provides the "How." This is the mystical.
found you from your dopamine video, loving the content brother it inspires me. it's awesome to see how fast your channel is growing, 100k within a couple months for sure.
Mr koe you said that your content isnt genius... give yourself more credit, at least personally, because what you preach is absolutely original and very eye opening stuff. Theres infinite amount of things that i can learn from you 💯 thanks for being the man you are
Conflict and resolution is the source of Everything. The very first conflict, is still ongoing. That's the conflict between the expansion(unconsciousness) of the universe, from 'The Big Bang', and the contraction or condensation of the universe from gravity (consciousness). Everything that the universe holds, is held in tension. Tension is probably the source of all energy.
I’ve been working out since I was in high school, pretty big and haven’t taken PEDs. I don’t put up crazy numbers in conventional lifts like SBD but I’m pretty strong in calisthenics/curls. Have been thinking of starting a fitness UA-cam channel for awhile but just don’t pull the trigger due to feeling like no one would watch
I really agree with that part about persons unconscious sending resources to the conscious aligned with who they really are. I love writing fiction, and sometimes when I'm brainstorming ideas, there comes an idea that just speaks so true to who I am and connects so perfectly into the place of the story I intend for it, it almost feels like magic. I've always assumed, that this was an element of my unconscious coming to the surface, one that I am not as aware of as I would think, however, it's only upon close inspection of various things that define me, that ill realize where that idea may have been introduced into my unconscious.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson Great content Dan, thanks. Stay Based
Even those who are not "the masses," being yourself also doesn't exist because like 95% of who we are is learned behavior. It's better advice to say, BE WHO YOU GENUINELY WANT TO BE.
I feel like your videos speak directly to my soul, thanks a lot for your work, I'm getting more and more motivated on starting my own thing, all my life I've been struggling with "impostor" syndrome but I'm getting better at believing in my own skills as a web developer.
Society more than judges you. The judging party are somehow automatically in the right and you are expected to reflect on yourself and change without question. Absolutely no exceptions. Anything other than that is considered being "defensive" at best or in worse cases a narcissist who refuses to accept responsibility and weren't "self-aware". It's ALWAYS your fault.
I'm in awe of how profound your insights are. How do we even "be ourselves" if we can't distinguish what was conditioned, and what's truly us. It took time and lots of pain, but since I realized this, I fully committed to "know thyself". We live with more ease and success when we act from a place of alignment and harmony. Looking forward to your Matrix post, Dan!
Insane value Dan, that framework on focus is an amazing concept. To be yourself REALLY does take being with yourself. You're killing the game right now

And that unconscious misalignment leads to dread, despair, and the death of a soul that leaves a robotic, animalistic corpse of a human being that lives in a perpetual state of survival."
There is no "real self" to be.
Ding ding
In other words, the only true self that's real is your “nobody self”… RIGHT⁈
Yesss exactly, we are constantly evolving and learning. It’s impossible to be one “true self” since to other’s perspective we’re copying others, when in reality we are complex creatures which are influenced by a vast diverse range of sources. We do not live in solitary confinement, we are social beings that do things.
Love this. Walking and audiobooks, thinking, visualizing, working through stuff…that’s been a habit for decades. Once it clicks, it sticks.
Killing the fear of FOMO is the most powerful thing any human can do.
You are real I can see that I have a 16 YO nephew but he only understand Spanish but he needs a mentor like you.

i listened to alot of others (yt videos) and i just started recording myself about my thoughts, what i thought about, motivating myself, etc... and i listen to myself moreso now than in the past. i normally talk to myself out loud... my best self comes from talking to myself...
It's good to see someone cut through the ways some of these "emergent paradigm" resources are often misused or lack clarity and just rehashed into shit by other content creators. The qualify of content in most places is so low where a relaitvely common sense quote by some Twitter user or current "spiritual" guru is seen as wisdom. I think the outer dissolution in the world is creating this hunger for structure and meaning among the debree.
I love how deep you dive into these concepts. Truly stimulating and motivating.
I think you can be yourself but not around others. It’s not really fair to be yourself around others. I think being yourself is feeling authentic emotion and thinking authentic insights in the moment and that’s not what the other person needs depending on what I feel or what I’m thinking. With other people you have to be “authentic enough” so the relational field between you is “positive enough.” Without other people you can’t individuate. You can’t help them and they can’t help you see, think, feel and experience in different ways. You just recycle your past and it gets stale.
I’ve said this like 4 times in other videos but somehow you always manage to say exactly what was on my mind in the current week. The fact you said that you’re also still bogged down by the programming is a level of self reflection that most don’t have.
have you said it like 4 times in other videos? wow
This may be a lot for "a youtube comment" but what the hell. I found you not long ago, searching for the next "Level Up" in my life. Ten years ago I was in prison and coming to the end of a decade of hard drug abuse/use. I studied Dr. Joe dispenza , got into meditation and went underground down every "rabbit hole" there is. From Quantum Physics, ancient knowledge, astrology , sacred geometry etc etc etc. I have been drug free for 8 years and in those eight years built my entire life back to something worth living. I know that life works similar to a simulation and that what we take aim at we get. That being said, another man named Dan came into my reality from youtube 8 years ago and was like a virtual "father figure" to me. Now with everything you do per the creator economy (what i've been seeking) You also are Dan. Just funny how it all works. I'm grateful for you man. I feel like "this is the next level" type energy joining MM and all. Truly grateful! Looking forward to the future.
I love it man, and stoked to have you in MM.
I can't believe I haven't subscribed yet.
I do not usually subscribe. The way you ended the video with watching how the ego fabricates a story was great! Keep up the good work!
After power of now, life became a magical Synchronicity and i am sure u showing up on my feeds and the 100% resonance with u shows i am on the way to my next stage. Thank u for everything u do.
You are the version of me that took action. Live to inspire
Its truly amazing to see how many lives you touch positively.
I don’t know if I’ll ever start a business but your advice on personal development has found me at a major fork in the road and I’m very thankful for your organized expressions of valuable information.
Commitment to self-mastery is the true source of authenticity. It represents the perfect balance unique to each individual that is the transcendence of their programmatic constructs liberated through the creative synthesis of how one chooses to embody their awareness! Elevation to that level requires a great degree of separation from cultural noise!
yeehaw thanks for the epic presentation mate!
Be your best self. Don't be yourself if who you currently are is not the man you wanna see in the mirror.
I just found you a few days ago and I love every video I’ve watched so far! I’m like, “this dude gets my brain.” 🎉😂❤ I’m a 35 year old, homeschooling mom of three, in a completely different stage of life- but your perspective is totally on point for me. Thanks for making this content! I appreciate it! 💪🎉
home schooling three kids!? wow! that's a lot of work 💪
Right?! So awesome! I'm a 31 year old homeschooling mom of one (homeschooling for the past 8.5 years), and I totally agree!
Wonderful!!!
Clear cut, engaging, densely valuable and highly integrable. You are quickly becoming my favourite creator. Thanks man.
Funny how that works man, your reels are the only short form vid I'll watch. We needa get you on YT
"Why do you want to live like this" ...struck me because I've been looping ,seething with resentment for days now over a situation and irregardless of writing" not to do this" in my journal daily. Focusing on that statement snapped me out of it....ruminating on the negative is hell...
if we didn't have phones, or at least the internet, then we would be subjected to a life of (almost predetermined) conditioning with barely any chance of seeing the world from radically different perspectives. Social media can enable us to take the power into our own evolution by giving any of us a viable channel to express ourselves with.
Previously, when televised media was the standard, the only things we could watch were being broadcasted on select channels, with other channels even at a premium, yet still no control over the content.
Now, I can constantly challenge the stimuli I'm presented with against countless different views to gain alternative perspectives and see how they resonate with my own inner truths
Duality is the interface of the universe.
A manager once told me to be less like me. I left.
been following you on twitter and it's crazy the amount of value you shared. Your youtube feels like a high-value course, but free!
Dan, you're authenticity is really fun to listen to and get inspiration from. You've been a digital mentor of mine for a few months now, so thank you for the content you put out like this. You've been a huge inspiration for my videos and YT channel here as well. God bless and keep going!!
There's a self and it's one and unique, everything else is identity. If you want to be one with the self you have to suppress your identity. Good luck with that.
What a wonderful mind and articulate concise. Brilliant way to share your gift of understanding. We need you thank you for your selfless contributions to the good of humanity. I want to share my mind too but I don't know how to organize it all like you so efficiently and beautifully do. Wow. I'm a forever fan! Underlying...I heard nothing but pure good intentions pouring from your heart. With a deeply engrained intent tattooed on your soul. Purity through karmic understanding is something you have found. humanity needs your precious jewels of priceless wisdom so they can help confirm the messages they are receiving through coincidences and cosmic clues that indeed there soul has led them wisely to the truth. Truth is felt because it has a vibrational frequency pattern that is recognized easily when one becomes or embodies the truth and trains the mind to find alternatives to lying and creating false realities they themselves did not actually experience there for is not in the mind as a memory. One can also sense the vibrations of factual occurances being recalled by another vs the energetic signatures one creates around himself when he is creating from imagination or memorized script. One can even sense the vibrations of false information before it is even thought up by the thinker intending to stear your mind away from the areas that make them uncomfortable to focus on. I learned there is an entire hidden world of truth and hidden information you can unlock the door to by doing all you can to speak truthful words only. The thing moms used to say about not saying anything if you don't have anything nice has more power than we could of ever known. Don't say words that can harm you or others. It made me more gentle with delicate information that is uncomfortable to share. Tell others of thier negative traits as you yourself would want to be informed of something others didn't like about you. Kindly and gently. Calmly and with compassion
What a great video, it’s sad because the people that really need it won’t watch it
Stumbled across this video during my quiet time Dan, at 4am. Profound timing and reinforcement that I'm not as crazy as my peers think (not that I care). I cut out the news and social media addiction/distraction 10 months ago to free up time to design the day/life I want to create. I'm still working on it, but with much less stress and more control than ever before. Really appreciate your work. My synapses are firing. I'll need to check if that is just because I like that your views align with mine. We believe what we want to believe right?
Great stuff. I'm going through it now. It's a time of self discipline and discovering.Being betrayed and ghosted by friends into making new connections from scratch to find productive purposes.
It's the hardest thing there is and raw true masculinity.
Something I'm always thinking about as well haha "we believe what we want to believe" and that shapes what content we produce, who follows along, and who believes it. Neverending battle I suppose
@@DanKoeTalks I think it's easier to manage if the goal is to find the truth. Ego always has something to say about that though. So, I try and put a gag around mine when it's too noisy 😷
these videos are goldmines and are best studied then applied to your goals
This is some very powerful discussion. Priceless
Another cracking insightful video. You said to get obsessed with one thing, I think you are it (in a healthy way). Your way of thinking is so inspiring and is definitely helping me as I navigate my desired path. What I like is that you are backing up what you are saying with good wholesome stuff. As a dopamine chaser and dopamine dealer (great way to introduce yourself at a party, thanks for that), I am always looking for a quick fix, but I am beginning to rethink that way of thinking, so thank you. 🙏🏽
Delightful. Thank you from Asperger's planet 🙏
Such a treasure to know these things...
You're awesome brother, I love you and your content. I hope you find lots of success and can truly help others change for the better.
People who have the least friends tend to be the most authentic because people never want to hear the truth
Thank you for the reminder and divine insights. I’m ready to stop resisting the game I’ve created from internalized subconscious limitations. 🙏🏾
This is super helpful. Thank you Dan.
Excellent video as always. Excited to see your next video about the Matrix !!
Thank you for your conversation and message!
Love the message about going on walks especially. Been doing that for over a year and it’s a gamechanger
This channel is underrated
hey dan, just want to say, legit it feels like yesterday that you were at 1k subs. Thanks for answering all of my comments that I left at that time. I know that you are at that point where you can't do that anymore, but I think that's a beautiful thing for some reason. your growth on this channel has inspired me to start my own channel(not this one) and just want to thank you.
Hell yeah man, thanks for being here for the journey. Stoked you started a channel, its a crazy personal growth journey
HIGHLY recommend everybody who watched this curate their feed.
What do I mean?
Select "not interested and "Don't recommend channel" to any content that is not focused on clarity, skills or people you want to LIVE like.
Less politics, less programming, less BS. More content which encourages you like Dan Koe's
Or install an extension that hides YT extensions so you HAVE to SEARCH for the content you want to view.
Such a good thing to do.
Gives you more control over what is being programmed to you.
We call that part of us that does the breathing, talking, motor functions, etc. "X." X does what's appropriate for the information received from the Awareness Function, or Real "I," which is the part that is aware that it is having an experience. In other words, "Me." I provide the "What," X provides the "How." This is the mystical.
found you from your dopamine video, loving the content brother it inspires me. it's awesome to see how fast your channel is growing, 100k within a couple months for sure.
Appreciate you brother, thank you for watching! Stoke about the recent growth
Mr koe you said that your content isnt genius... give yourself more credit, at least personally, because what you preach is absolutely original and very eye opening stuff. Theres infinite amount of things that i can learn from you 💯 thanks for being the man you are
Conflict and resolution is the source of Everything. The very first conflict, is still ongoing. That's the conflict between the expansion(unconsciousness) of the universe, from 'The Big Bang', and the contraction or condensation of the universe from gravity (consciousness). Everything that the universe holds, is held in tension. Tension is probably the source of all energy.
Truly love what you are creating. This is absolutely the universe placing you in front of me
I’ve been working out since I was in high school, pretty big and haven’t taken PEDs. I don’t put up crazy numbers in conventional lifts like SBD but I’m pretty strong in calisthenics/curls. Have been thinking of starting a fitness UA-cam channel for awhile but just don’t pull the trigger due to feeling like no one would watch
I really agree with that part about persons unconscious sending resources to the conscious aligned with who they really are.
I love writing fiction, and sometimes when I'm brainstorming ideas, there comes an idea that just speaks so true to who I am and connects so perfectly into the place of the story I intend for it, it almost feels like magic. I've always assumed, that this was an element of my unconscious coming to the surface, one that I am not as aware of as I would think, however, it's only upon close inspection of various things that define me, that ill realize where that idea may have been introduced into my unconscious.
wow this channel is actually great
Appreciate you my friend
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great content Dan, thanks.
Stay Based
You always are "your self". And also you can have different "modes", depending on the situation in which you find yourself.
No you CAN, be yourself. You just can’t sell out while doing it.
I definitely appreciate seeing someone with the same mindset, outlook, and conscious🙏🏽 defiantly subscribed and can’t wait for more 💚
Thanks for the content bro. Podcast at work then action after work. Appreciate your work
Epic video you are one of the few out there that put in the time into themselves, to as you said it be yourself. Huge respect to that.
You are a diamond and quite refreshing. Loved this video, and keep up the wonderful work. ❤️
Well said...I know exactly what you suggest 😇
This a great find. Loving your channel, Dan. ✊🏾
High value content, deep and applicable. 💡👌
Even those who are not "the masses," being yourself also doesn't exist because like 95% of who we are is learned behavior. It's better advice to say, BE WHO YOU GENUINELY WANT TO BE.
I feel like your videos speak directly to my soul, thanks a lot for your work, I'm getting more and more motivated on starting my own thing, all my life I've been struggling with "impostor" syndrome but I'm getting better at believing in my own skills as a web developer.
Society more than judges you. The judging party are somehow automatically in the right and you are expected to reflect on yourself and change without question. Absolutely no exceptions. Anything other than that is considered being "defensive" at best or in worse cases a narcissist who refuses to accept responsibility and weren't "self-aware".
It's ALWAYS your fault.
I'm in awe of how profound your insights are. How do we even "be ourselves" if we can't distinguish what was conditioned, and what's truly us. It took time and lots of pain, but since I realized this, I fully committed to "know thyself". We live with more ease and success when we act from a place of alignment and harmony. Looking forward to your Matrix post, Dan!
Insane value Dan, that framework on focus is an amazing concept. To be yourself REALLY does take being with yourself. You're killing the game right now
heavily inspired, thank you!
