    “The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not “the thinker.” The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.” - Eckhart Tolle. Probably my favorite quote of all time. If you enjoyed this video and want to help create more, please consider supporting After Skool on Patreon. Thank you! www.patreon.com/AfterSkool

    About 20 years ago I dropped like 4-5 hits of acid and shed my ego. It was both beautiful and terrifying at once . I realized that I truly am my own worst enemy .

      Once you realise that you are not your own worst enemy the next step is the realisation that you are actually your own best friend, acceptance is key, then you are free, you are no longer Ill as ego is no longer the driving force in your life, however, it remains dormant, ready to rare its ugly head once again, its up to the aware self to indentify with the thoughts that make us slip into the void and go nope not this time buddy, your ego is slayed.
      Why is this stuff not legal and thereafter promoted?
      A, I think its because the Ego is in control, well, it thinks its in control but it will never truly be able to claim itself, resistence is always there.

      @@securedparty4303 You don't have to. Authenticity comes spontaneously, you don't have to think about it. What actually usually happens is that the ego represses authenticity by overthinking. A good way around it is to use the 3 second rule. When you want to do something, do it right way, otherwise the mind after about 3 seconds will start questioning it in so many ways that you'll probably give up doing it.
      It's worth noting that both authenticity and subconscious impulses can come spontaneously. The difference is that one comes from your innermost wishes and desires and the other from your compulsions. Watch "how to reprogram your mind", by Dr. Bruce Lipton here on this same channel to learn more about that matter. But anyway I wouldn't recommend trying to figure out if every spontaneity is an authenticity or a compulsion, it's better to use the 3 second rule anyway, especially for shy and reserved people. You'll learn to recognize which is which by practice.

      I used to be one of those people. My parents basically gave me everything growing up to make up for all the abuse. So I equated material things with love and happiness. And so as I grew up, I still had that engrained into my mind and lived that type of life. Until it hit me one day and I’ve been on a better path of self healing and reprogramming myself. To me, identifying ones happiness with material objects just shows that there’s a real void that can’t seem to be filled and I can’t help but have empathy for those people.

      Perhaps some of them are only sharing their activities with others, as we are social animals, I find it normal to use social media to express ourselves, say what is on our minds, this can be expressed through photographs... and yes sometimes you want to show a personality, but it's more like a dialogue for me, it's not a way to say "I'm better than the others". Is it bad anyway if you want to create yourself ? It's not necessarily about superiority... I like to see everyone creating themselves. I like to see people creating beauty, expressing beauty.

    'A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose' literally changed my life, trying to condense it into a 13 minute speech just doesn't do it justice. Even if you didn't enjoy or understand this video, I highly recommend reading or listening to that book. All of the concepts mentioned here and more are explored deeply and at a much more relaxed pace, making it easy to look at your experience of life in a totally different way. after listening to it I ended up buying 5 copies of the book to give to my friends and family lol! I can't even start to explain how impactful Tolle has and will continue to be for our planet.

    When I was in 6th grade, I had an english assignment to write the thoughts of a character in a book. I was perplexed because the thoughts in my head weren't words. When I put myself in the characters position, I felt and I planned actions, not a word in my mind. The teacher and my parents gave me a hard time and that is when the negitivive narrative in my head started. Wasn't until I was about 24 that I realized I am not my thoughts and I am not my emotions. I had narcissism but instead of a positive image of myself I saw only flaws. I wish there was a word for that.

    I had an horrible egodeath experience on Acid when I was so dump to smoke weed on the peak. It was shocking but somehow I needed to get it - because I was very depressed at that time and thought a lot about suicide. A lot of really weird shit happenend on it but in the end I‘ve got the message.
    I was with my 3 friends and suddenly it kicked in and I traveled through the universe in light speed. I came to a place where my „real friends“ (some alienlike persons but with the same character as my friends on earth) were talking to me that „I‘ve now finally understood what life really is. Finally! Also him woke up.“ They looked at me as if I‘ve been the only fool that didn’t get it the whole time:
    That everything down here is just a funny little game but „real life“ is somewhere outside of that. And therefore you can create everything here and everything you can imagine is possible here.
    After that I couldn’t control myself anymore and every 5min I was falling unconscious to travel through the space again. And it didn’t feel good.
    Later on when they brought me to bed I felt like I’m now trapped in a time loop because nothing changed anymore for hours that felt like days. I was feeling a lot of pain from all that struggle and the believe that this loop might go for ever on and I‘ve really fucked up. The pain was increasing from loop to loop and finally I got the message that the only way to get rid of *the pain* is to „let it go“. I was fighting with that idea because letting „it“ go meant the rest of life that was still in me. Finally after hours of pain I did it because there was no other way out of it. So i let it go and I felt like „Ok that’s it. I‘m dead. Doesn’t feel that bad, but it’s also sad that I didn’t lived my more on earth. But anyways I‘m already really excited in which body I will be reborn now. I hope it’s not a bad one!“
    Long Story short: I woke up in my own body again. In the real world. First I was shocked because I really believed that it was finally over. After that I felt so happy to be back again in my body and in my life. I appreciate the gifts that I got for living my life now way more than before. In the end that was one lesson of many to cure my depression.

    Wow, what a brilliant man. I can attest and relate to all of this so well. I've been recovering from a TBI, & I've really had to practice all of this, to let go of the 'self' so I can heal, and be present to work towards a new life. Trauma is so strange, and much of it is attached to the idea of the self, but some of it gets trapped in the body. They say the brain stores memory, the body stores emotion. While you can disconnect from both in meditation, it is important to make both those parts as healthy and strong as possible because they effect your experience of life in a body no matter how 'mindful' or zen you are. I've done cognitive therapy, vision therapy, mental therapy, etc, and while it's all been important, nothing has helped and taught me like my journey of meditation and yoga has. Enjoy

It's a mysterious thing that I am learning only I can best understand through bits and pieces I learn from others and through research. It's the most challenging thing I've been faced with. That's amazing to hear, while it's all been helpful, yoga and meditation have helped me in ways too that nothing else can. Finding yoga, & connecting with that community, has been the blessing out of all of this.

So I decided to practice the dissolving of my ego. It’s difficult because I still have those ego thoughts and I have to consciously stop those thoughts. I have found since my happiness and empathy has increased significantly. I have quit nearly all social media and are trying to focus on bettering myself through helping others. I just wanted to say it has really helped me a lot. I feel so much more at peace and connected to the universe now. I still have selfish thoughts but they slowly decreasing each week and I am getting better at understanding them and controlling them. I highly recommend anyone practice it in their daily lives.

      I've been doing similar work, but if I could make a suggestion: Don't think in terms of controlling your thoughts. As Eckhart might say, see them, recognize them for what they are, then let go of them. Give no resistance, but accept them and surrender to whatever the present moment has to offer. Trying to stop or control your thoughts is only waging war with your ego, and ironically the ego feeds off that energy. You may later find that you suppressed your ego rather than dissolved it, and it comes back around with a vengeance. When you accept what comes to you, recognize your thoughts but do not allow them to form your identity, then you can be truly free. I strongly recommend Eckhart's book The Power of Now, particularly the audiobook version which is read by him.

I mean a lot of people pretend not to like another's music "taste" and this is also due to ego I would say.
