I found your channel yesterday, Todd, and already it’s helped me so much. Tremendously grateful for the eloquent, beautiful, loving way you share your wisdom with us. Thank you from the bottom, top and sides of my heart. 😁🙏💙
Thanks for this video I’m truly grateful for your videos I feel like this one was made for me I was a drug addict for alot of years I’ve been clean for 5 years now I found meditation 3 years ago even though I struggle with it I still continue the practice meditation despite the over thinking at times I still have the moments that are amazing forgiving yourself is hard but I’m open to learning and growing not only from within but understanding that we all have these struggles so I’m never truly alone even though it feels like it at times I grow as a human being everyday and I grow spiritually and I’m open to all the wonders around me and within me thank you for all that you do
I have heard these concepts so many times before but the way you explain it is so clear and uncomplicated. Seems to sink in so much more when you explain it. I appreciate that so very much.
One of your videos came up in my feed recently and I listened to the whole thing. Often spiritual content on YT has wonderful gifts but includes some distortions that detract from what that soul is hoping to share. Maybe because of that, I listened half expecting a misstep, but instead each word was carefully placed to illuminate more truth. Beautiful!!!
@@ToddPerelmuter Hahahaha. Maybe I tickled something but I only had a teaspoon of knowledge in those days. Just enough to keep seeking!!! It would be fun to reconnect someday. Sending love and light in the mean time.
It is your heart that is felt with your message of comfort and love. It is your wisdom that is heard among the stillness between your words. It is a sharing beyond powerful for those who desire peace among mankind... for peace begins in the heart, mind, body, and soul. God Bless. Love to all.
Wow, I just love these wise words. Thank you so much, it helps me a lot to focus on my present life and not to loose my energy in thoughts about the past or the future. You really support me in reducing my suffering!
Ive watched all your videos. Listen to you everyday. Helps me a lot. Please make more . I Need help with overcoming financial worries and anxiety, career burnout and feeling hopeless.
Thanks for the question. I want to give it the time and thought it deserves. I will answer it either in my newsletter, podcast or UA-cam video so others who are going through something similar can hear as well.
Hello there :) I hope that and your family are safe and well I just want to say Thank you for that content. You are the part of my morning routine now. Patrycja
Came across your videos yesterday - thank you - I don’t know why - you’re saying the exact same things that I have heard others say - but for some reason it is resonating more hear you chat about it
Great question. There can be pain in the present moment, but suffering can only happen in the mind as a response to a situation that happened in the past. Because there is always a moment between an experience and our mental response, all suffering stems from the past. Yes, there maybe undesirable circumstances, but we can either accept and even welcome them, or we can resist and create inner conflict with them. It really is our choice if we are conscious of these thought processes and intentional with our response. It's really quite amazing you could put two people in the exact same situation and one will love it and welcome the challenge, and the other will hate it and fight it. This is what I mean by all suffering happens in the mind, not based on any external situation.
Do you find that people struggle to comprehend all this because it is the mind trying to understand? I’m just allowing the information to infiltrate through and am trusting that one day my soul says “hi here I am” and the energy just all shifts 😄
But I still miss her, miss her smile, her hand in mine... so much sadness I can't begin te explain. Yes it is the past, but how something that tangible... so much love turned into a thoughtform...
@@ToddPerelmuter Hi Todd i would like to comment that I appreciate also your clear articulation, and your (slow) rate of speach! It helps to proces the information properly😊
We can't force ourselves to stop comparing, and we can't force our minds to just ignore what we are thinking. But, we can turn our attention towards our own blessings and choose where we direct our focus.
Both and neither, my friend. These feelings of fear are merely evolutionary traits we have developed to stay far away from tigers and the edges of cliffs. Suffering is what tells us not to put our hands in fire. But today, it is the news that stokes our fears. It is social media that tells us to suffer because we are not on a yacht right now. There can even be traumatic experiences that we must heal from in order to recenter ourselves and find peace. But while all these external situations may cause fear and suffering, they still only exist in the mind. So freedom from suffering and fear lies ultimately in freedom from our ego. By becoming perpetually aware of this fact we can rise above the grips of our ego.
@@ToddPerelmuter What then is the ego? Is the ego just our identification with and attachment to the thoughts that pass through our minds? Is freedom from our ego most effectively achieved by watching the mind, watching our thoughts, as much as possible and choosing to not believe our thoughts or invest in them? Is my understanding correct or flawed or incomplete?
The past is gone and future is out of sight. The present moment is the best guarantee we have to enjoy with conscious habit and planning .
I am grateful for your sharing of wisdom. 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿

What if there is suffering happening in the physical moment in the present moment
Great question. There can be pain in the present moment, but suffering can only happen in the mind as a response to a situation that happened in the past. Because there is always a moment between an experience and our mental response, all suffering stems from the past. Yes, there maybe undesirable circumstances, but we can either accept and even welcome them, or we can resist and create inner conflict with them.

You are not the story you tell yourself about your life . Thank you Thank you
But I still miss her, miss her smile, her hand in mine... so much sadness I can't begin te explain. Yes it is the past, but how something that tangible... so much love turned into a thoughtform...
I can't even imagine. Sending so much peace and love 💗
Thank you for reminding me!😊
Any time!

.... the eternal witness
The wisdom is there. The healing im not too sure of.
From wisdom comes healing. Peace and love ❤️
Time travelling is toxic for me. A temporal tether would be nice. 🌀
🙏
This one resonated with me on much deeper level. Thank u so much. 🙏🏻💙
Have you done Vipassana because your thoughts resonate with the teachings , it's such a deep beautiful process that frees you ! Love your words
Thank you. I have done Vipassana and it's a wonderful practice.
@@ToddPerelmuter I couldn't agree more !
I’m suffering from comparison, my siblings are more successful then I am. I’m trying to get out of this feeling.
We can't force ourselves to stop comparing, and we can't force our minds to just ignore what we are thinking. But, we can turn our attention towards our own blessings and choose where we direct our focus.
@@ToddPerelmuter That make sense. I think our society makes us think from childhood and live continue under this impression of comparing.
So when we feel fear or experience suffering is that always the ego? Or is it an unhealed part of ourselves? Or both?
Both and neither, my friend. These feelings of fear are merely evolutionary traits we have developed to stay far away from tigers and the edges of cliffs. Suffering is what tells us not to put our hands in fire. But today, it is the news that stokes our fears. It is social media that tells us to suffer because we are not on a yacht right now.
