"Get out of your way" wow. One I heard a lot was 'stop selling yourself short' and I used to get so mad at people who said that to me, isn't that funny? Like I was mad at them for seeing more in me than I saw in myself. Unreal man.
Your authenticity, transparency, passion, light, willingness to give of yourself is truly aiding us all to ascend to our higher selves. Thank you, Aaron❤❤❤
Your messages helped me so much you have no idea - I was also always super religious, born again Christian, totally dedicated and felt guilty when I started my spiritual journey. Your explaining just makes sense and I'm thankful for your teachings. I prayed the last few weeks about persuing my passion that is so strong I can't stop thinking about it (since a child) and this video has given my answer. Thank you 🙏
Aaron, you just answered a question I have been pondering for some months now. It was weighing me down for a bit and then I gradually/naturally let it go, and a couple weeks ago I asked Source/Universe/God to reveal to me what I need to hear and here I am. I could never express the gratitude, admiration, and appreciation I have for you and everything you offer to this world. I'm so blessed! Thank you
You are one if the best spiritual teachers on UA-cam! You teach it to us like we are 6 years old! 😂 Highly recommend your videos constantly! Be blessed! ☮️💕🌟
That is amazing to me that you didn’t think you were good at explaining things. And that it took you so long to wrap your mind around it. That is stunning because you are a master at explaining things!! That makes me think that I might have hidden talents that are just right under my nose waiting to be discovered. That story was so powerful and inspiring!!! Thank you!🙏🏻
I loved the message about how our passion is our qualifier. Such a wonderful conversation -- thank you. Ryan's questions were also so thoughtful and generative.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful conversation and guidance, Aaron! 🙏 I am so glad you followed your passion.. your videos have been such a blessing to me over the last few years! 🙏💓🕊 Thank you for answering the call! ✨☎️ ✨
I'm so grateful for the work u do out of the Bibles teaching I was never a devoted follower of it but I didn't have a bad opinion of it all I slowly started to get better thanks you 🙏 💯
I am a Christian but my husband was Hindu. He introduced me to the concept of GOD within. We had started to go to a Shivyog forum where I experienced some yoga and meditation for the first time. Unfortunately we weren't able to go all the time and then COVID hit. I then came across your videos and realized u were saying the same as in shivyog but with a Christian back ground to it. Thank u. U broke down what shivyog was teaching even simpler for me. Thank u
Truly blessed by this. I've been asking these exact questions and contemplating about it. Your answer resonated so much. It's like I've heard it before and this was my reminder. Thank you @Aaron. You are a blessing and gift.
This is so good - flow state. Passion. Sent from source. Follow the breadcrumb trail to find your passion. Listen to your inspiration. Thank you Aaron 🙏🏼
Shit, that was real. It's wild how beautiful this all is, and even how beautifully Aaron puts it for us to hear, and even hearing his origins in how we all ended up finding out about him was beautiful. At some point you realize the same concepts keep coming up and you'd think just hearing it once was enough but the various flipping around of concepts makes it so that it can be applied in so many ways. I'll never get sick of the most beautiful reminders about personal and outer reality.
14: 06. FROM ALL of us to You Aaron, You're Welcome. Lol...We're always telling You " Thank You" AND we are Grateful, this time You gave us an avenue to say " You're Welcome". And I took it, 😁🤗SO grateful to know You.
Great topic! I have wondered recently about how to unite the idea of free will and non-doership. My current idea is to have non-doership as a concept and relax the mind into it, with the feeling of free will intact as the driving motivation. It will be interesting to hear the discussion in this video. Edit: I like Aaron's description of how the Self is actually all of reality and the will of the Source. That's an important key I think.
I know that when my sister tells me what a good dude I am, I would get angry/annoyed because that was not my vision of myself so everything told that was not in alignment of my own vision of myself made me uncomfortable. I found out just months ago from the same sister that my other sister and her husband have spoken well of me but they did not want to tell me this because they would not think I would believe them because they are relatives and that's "how they are supposed to feel because we are family etc". I would always deny compliments because I did not see them fit me. After a dinner with them weeks ago, they were open about how they saw me and I was shocked and tearful and were honest about that they didn't want to tell me this because I would not believe their view. I don't know what to do with this information. At least not reject it? Anyways, cheers Aaron for another video.
I often hear about flow state and passion and that we need to follow that path. I have been trying to find a passion for years, and there is nothing that gets me in a flow state. Do you have any advice? Thank you for your guidance!
Thanks so much for this video. With regards to things like depression and anxiety that can become a huge hindrance to following one’s passion, or even block passion to things one loves altogether, what is your advice? This is something I’m currently struggling with.
"does dancing have a purpose? is there a spot on the floor one must arrive at? does music have a purpose? I mean if music had a purpose it would just be one crashing bang.. the whole purpose of the dance is the dance. it is the present " life is so simple, it so obvious and yet everyone runs around like there is something to attain. the whole purpose of life is the living" -Alan Watts
Great questions. Regarding actions and ambition, becoming enlightened doesn't mean your body stops doing things. Jesus didn't vanish after achieving enlightenment, neither did the Buddha and Mahavatar Babaji has been around for at least 2,000 years since his awakening! The point is, yes, we are the infinite, but if you're everything then you're nothing in particular. So the infinite uses the illusion of the body to play roles and be someone, to have separate, discrete experiences. So you can still see yourself as the all-pervading spirit (as all masters do) while observing your body carrying out certain roles and playing certain parts, it's a game. Think of actors, they put on costumes and play characters but the person playing Hamlet doesn't actually think he's Hamlet. The minute the director shouts "cut" he's back to his real personality.
Stop caring about whatever it is that goes on in this place, I am aware of this place, I know that I am experiencing the present vibes, I have no wants no more, I shall be manifested. I love you all and I know that you will remember, recognize and realize the source creator
So much love and gratitude for you/us and all that you/we do. ❤️ You show up in my dreams repeatedly 😂 Maybe we’ve embarked on a few astral travels together! 🤔
This is excellent and I compute this as well. I always say when it's not fun for me anymore I'm not supposed to be doing it. That's a simplified way of saying once the inspiration of Source isn't with me on something I'ts time to move on. You learned what you were meant to. It's not easy to accept someone's. God/Source is life having experiences through us. When it's done having the experience the body will know. Once we get out of the way and let life do it and stop thinking it's personal.. win or lose.. get the promotion or not.. it's all a distortion and living in full acknowledgment of the ego as the self.
Hi Aaron you inspired me at the end I’m looking to create a Nondual Center and I have to make a video not sure if I could do it but I certainly am clear and can articulate it yet when the camera comes on that’s a different story. I want to make a professional type video just to the degree that I have seen you make videos I wonder if you would want to get on board with that that would be great I embrace many angles in including ACIM. I do like the Direct Nondual teachings but anything that loosens the sense of identity and boundary is embraced. Let me know if we could work together to make a video that would be awesome! 😀❤️🙏
Hi Aaron, my passion and my talent is photography but i dont do it anymore i dont know why because i really like it and am good at it but i always feel a blockage.. i always say to myself i,m going to start with it again but i never push true although i really want to.. should i just let it go because maybe it is just an ego desire? If it is really my "calling" then why i cant make it work? Or is my ego blocking my desire, because there is an unworthyness inside of me due to my upbringing.. I,m at lost...
I think free will is an illusion purely based on the fact that you can always only chose form the choices that the higher self set up for you. The higher self already knows what you are going to chose and how it will play out.
The concepts are so abstract. The self, the higher self, the ego. The duality seems so unnecessary, so unhelpful. If everything is guided and there is no free will, what is the point of anything? It is easier to believe in nothing than to trade one spiritual lie for another.
Doesn't the Law of One imply that there is free will? Making the decision to be of service to self or others? How does this jive with this teaching? Thanks so much
Can I get some clarity around distinguishing non-doership and the “making it about X”? In your Michael Jordan example you mentioned that as soon as Michael made it about him it would cause egoic interruption. This implies that something is choosing the egoic thought process is not? How do we seperate the choosing of an egoic thought vs the divine will of the creator? Who is responsible for selection of awareness?
well then apart from dissolving the I and the illusion of separation, we just have to chill and watch our own life like a movie? Also, about the passion topic i was wondering what about the people who started doing something but didn't enjoy it at all because it was hard at first, but then with practice they actually became good and started enjoying it, was it a passion given by the universe all along with like a "test" to see if you push through, or was it a passion that was created in the process, while practicing it? This is very interesting, to me this concept of being lived is a huge relief and actually very humbling.
In relation to the desire of the Jiva and fulfilling a life purpose. There is a sva-dharma of the incarnate entity, or his essential nature or function in the material world. In Bhagavad Gita Krsna describes varying methods of yoga. Niskama Karma Yoga is the performance of ones dharma without attachment to the fruit of the action. This is a bonafide transcendental means of attaining God, though as you move more into sattva-guna you will naturally have the dharma of a full time yogi like our boy Aaron Abke. Some thoughts from an ex-monk 🙏
In relation to Aaron's answer that living out desire with non-attachment and striving for the flow state is exactly what Krishna was referring to. Thank you Aaron for putting this in relatable terms for us Kaliyuga creatures!!!
Once the person gives themselves to God asking to dissolve/ surrender to God.. searching, and God intervenes and answers. That personhood made its choice as far as will goes. But its like deciding to put your head in the lions mouth, once you have decided to do that.. you are now in the lions mouth. Choice made. You’re not getting out.. you’re done. Lol .. however.. it’s the only place to be. 🥰
But Aaron? Are you enlighten? Becous if not, then you don't know 1000% if this is another dream, that seems just as real? What I precieve from you speaking, is you come from/talk from a place experience and not through 'Crystal' Knowing - Love, Mateus
Aaron is not pretending anything. He provides insights and explanations that are extremely succinct and provide incredibly profound wisdom to many. It is unfortunate that your ego appears to be in control and keeps you from seeing the truth in Aaron's teachings. 🥺 🙏 Love and Light 💚
