After like 50 streetfights, being a drunkard for 15 years, one day my heart just break open, and then I started to go down the rabbit hole, 3rd eye opened and all mystical stuff is happening it's almost 2 years from now, I love your channel, because for me your life seem to resonate with mine most out of all the UA-camr lightworkers❤
I was in 50 street fights before I started 8th grade, and I drank every day for 35 years. I’ve tried sobriety for 109 days so far. I’ve knocked on every door until my knuckles bled and no one seems to be home.
@wulf67 If you are looking for a reason not to be sober, you'll find it. There is a part of you that decided to open that door to recovery. tune back into that level of self. You deserve it. 💛
Yeah, I gotta say Josh, I'm cool with drinking your Kool Aid. I admire this entire community of open minded people who seem to have suffered as much or more as I, yet continue to expand in every way. Thanks for doing this man!
No I get it. I've started researching the letter J earlier today. My name has 4 of them and I've been wondering if it's been a curse in my life. My name sounds horrible pronounced like a Y 🤣
Patience is a timely topic. A few days ago I felt so livid and angry about the feeling that it was all a game, which I was experiencing in the most cynical and bitter of ways (usually I have enough patience to carry me through lifetimes...). I had come so far, made so many breakthroughs and had then gone into a kind of holding state, where everything was suspended for several days. When I started to emerge from it I felt so much despair I could barely carry myself and it felt like the lifetime of work had got me no-where and that I was back to square one, with no clue about any of it. I felt so angry, that I consciously went on strike and verbally just stated 'fuck you', I'm not moving another inch. Fuck your game. I'm not playing it anymore. I then went to bed for about three hours in the day time (totally out of character). I was thinking, well, there was me thinking I was moving forward and look at me, I've gone on strike, like a child going into a massive sulk, hoping that I'd get a break. I then realised that there was something familiar about this and that I had been here before and at various points through my life, I had gone to bed and shut down. I then realised that I had gone on strike these times before, but I had been doing it unconsciously on those previous times. I smiled and realised that in fact then, I had moved forward, as this was the first time I was aware of the game I had been playing... I then remembered that it was at times where I had gone to a whole new level that I felt like a child just starting out, and that I was simply on the first rung of the new ladder on the next level up. Now I'm entering what feels like an entirely new phase, very different to my way of being before, which confirms what I sensed was going on. Maybe I won't throw my dummy out the next time. Maybe I will, it doesn't matter, as yes, I will not ever stop trying to return, as nothing could ever compare to it. Also reminded me of some lyrics that have always made me smile. Leonard Cohen "Oh teacher are my lessons done, I cannot do another one, they laughed and laughed and said 'well child, are your lessons done?...'. Thanks Yash.
Im in the exact same situation right now, I was so close to breakthrough in fact angels were giving me signs that It could be the best day of my life, but then i got caught up in all the distractions, and i was pulled down at square one it feels like, i still have hope though, now i have to strategize what i did wrong, so i can make this happen.
Yash I'm so glad you are doing these videos. Do you know how many of us have been looking for someone like you. Someone who's relatable and honest about spirituality. Bless you Yash. Love and light my brother ❤
I dont really give attention to anyone but god, I've come to a place now where I see that I actually kinda despise the world now. I am just being honest, sure I tolerate it, but meh after a while of being in it all.. I'm out that sucker the minute I can. Also when I am out, I am so in the moment I give my attention to what ever comes my way with the vision of god, that way the synchronicity and lessons happen, if not you might just miss them as you weren't paying attention. Gods vision attends to all, I do realise this is a gift and quite rare, as most just give attention to there tribe, or there people or this and that. God is in everything
Followed you about a month ago maybe. I just watch whichever of your videos pops up, like it's info I can use at that particular time. It seems to work. There's a lot to ponder here. It might take me a thousand lifetimes to understand anything, but they'll come and they'll go and lessons will be learned. I'll enjoy them as well.
11:55 - Love how real you are brother! I am constantly flabbergasted by how quickly my ego takes insights and blissful experiences and develops pride... It can be quite horrifying when I see it clearly later down the line.
There are no ways; To approach Divine; Its Path is pathless; To who whose mind; Is empty, abideless; Suddenly in a flash; Whole Truth reveals! 😊🙏🙇♂️☝️
I love your videos, watch all of them. You are the most unintentionally funny person I’ve ever heard speak. Sometimes I watch your videos and start cracking up laughing over the most subtle thing you said.
Thank you so much!!! I’ve been having a lot of ups & downs the pass couple years…. My first awakening was a little before 2020 then during 2020… 2022 I lost my grandfather and dad couple weeks apart. Year later I lost my little cousins (same side of the family) all their birthdays are in August. Battling depression and anxiety while doing this journey has been a ride. Your videos are helpful in a lot of ways….
I would never call myself intelligent, you cannot be intelligent and do the things that I have done. I see a challenge and I have to pass it, if someone stands in front of that challenge I go through them or around them, their choice, but when you have this type of attitude and devotion toward your twin there's one thing that I see in your future, WISDOM, and quite possibly a crown.
Thank you for all that you do Yash! Your like the realist person on youtube as far as I can see. You really are a blessing in my life. I feel you are doing exactly what your here to do! 💙
It's like tuning an analogue radio, listening out for the still small voice of God. And then dwelling on any mini breakthroughs you may have, rather than reverting to thinking 'I can never do this', etc. Courage is required.
I can’t explain it but something within me just resonated with what you said about not giving up even if I didn’t attain self realization and merged with the source in 10 lifetimes. I broke into tears immediately! 7:55
Great points Yash. You are my motivation to merge. I enjoy my addiction but nothing crazy. Just kratom and kava and coffee every now and then. I agree. Suffering is the greatest catalyst to self awareness.
I always end up getting drawn to watch your videos. They help me a lot and I appreciate you. You explain things in a way I can understand, your raw and honest.
I was with my son once, and we were running errands or something, anyway there was a man, I think he was drunk or something and he had this bike and he kept falling he was trying to come down and incline, and my son said why don't we help, I had a volkswagen passat at the time. Not sure how I'd fit the bike in the car, anyway we did help him, he offered to pay I said no it's fine. The bike did fit and all was good.
If you ever begin to question who am I? And begin feeling doubt and fear? Say I am who I am, who are you? I AM WHO I AM, I AM salvation, and always remember I will never leave thee nor forsake thee ❤️🔥❤️🩹
I can feel how open your heart is in the video. I instantly became calm and centered when i heard your voice. Your energy reminds me of Ram Dass. Bless you sir and I am excited to binge your content :) Namaste and blessings. 🙏❤️😁
Careful management of One's Attention~ Intention~ Retention~ enables One to develop discernment with strong detection, and leads One to a not so distant silent place, without a chase, within Divine direction. 🤍⚖️🩵 Thank You once again beautiful friend, for sharing yourself so generously and graciously.
Mental talk creates pathways for the expansion of being. We invite growth by opening our conscious mind to new ideas. Mental talk can be an obstacle but it is an essential ingredient for our evolving soul. Intelligence is intelligent enough to integrate all aspects of experience. Intelligence recognises the value of all stimulus. Judgemental attitudes indicate fearful avoidance. Be intelligent, embrace everything that facilitates your growth.
thank you yash. its been such a pleasure to watch your videos & your down to earth nature has been a real guiding force for me. this was exactly what i needed to hear today. thank you for reminding me to stay focused on the highest no matter what, even when maya wants to convince me otherwise 🙏🏽 the suffering keeps showing me that there is no higher path to go down than the one god provides. much love ❤
I’ve done a lot of work to raise my vibration, but I feel like I’m at a place where I’ve stripped all joy out of my life that I’m no longer nourishing my soul or inner child. It’s like finding the balance of living freely with no rules, routines and structures - i.e. just be, even if that means giving into desires and not feeling guilty for giving into anything low vibrational I.e. junk food, Amazon prime video binge etc. VS staying on the path of enlightenment. Do you have any thoughts on this Yash? Thank you for the timely video 🙏🏾
Lord Jesus I will seek you everyday. No matter how bad my situation gets. Even when I feel like giving up I will keep faith. As a single mother. I’m struggling to make ends meet. My husband passed years ago. I have no one to turn to but you Lord JESUS. Both of my sons are special needs and require so much from me. Lord I’m afraid. Every month I struggle trying to provide for my children struggling to pay rent and to buy groceries. Lord help me and hear my prayers. With you God all things are possible. ❤️❤️
Hi Yash, If I try my best everyday to align our will with God's and expand my consciousness to merge with the divine, does that mean bad things won't happen to me anymore, since God doesn't need to wake me up and turn me away from the world and towards God, because I'm now prioritising God realisation?
I really want to give more credits and love and attention to this but it feels That i cant. I try, Sometimes it is there and Then desires come up and Same again and again
God is a watcher meaning we are all on a record, it goes around and around but every time you listen to it it plays the same music but when we write a new album God will be there to help you with every word.

Many animals feel this universal connection better than we do. we lost that essential skill, it was stolen from us.

Patience is a timely topic. A few days ago I felt so livid and angry about the feeling that it was all a game, which I was experiencing in the most cynical and bitter of ways (usually I have enough patience to carry me through lifetimes...). I had come so far, made so many breakthroughs and had then gone into a kind of holding state, where everything was suspended for several days. When I started to emerge from it I felt so much despair I could barely carry myself and it felt like the lifetime of work had got me no-where and that I was back to square one, with no clue about any of it.

Hey Yash. I'm curious why you say that other animals cannot not recognize their universal source?
they dont have self-awareness. They operate from instinct for the most part and very rudimentary levels of awareness..
@@spiritualrenaissance How do you know that other animals do not have an instinctual awareness of their universal source rather than a human self-awareness?
But animals don’t need to recognize their universal source, only we live in the matrix.
