Gabor Maté: Finding Our TRUE Selves in a Crazy World | Know Thyself Podcast EP 34
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2024
- In our society when rates of mental and physical illness are on the rise, despite advanced modern medicine, we must look within to ask where we are going wrong. Dr. Gabor Maté is back on The Know Thyself Podcast today, for a deep dive into his analysis of our toxic culture, and how we can heal by finding our true, authentic selves.
He explains how to transcend the hypnotic passivity that we have fallen into, and begin to take our health (mental and physical) into our own hands. He explains generational trauma, ignorance in the medical system, and how the coping mechanisms we develop as children lead to detrimental subconscious patterns. He also explains overcoming addiction, emotional awareness, and whether he believes there is a 'divine design' in all our wounding.

Dr. Gabor Maté
A renowned speaker, and bestselling author, Dr. Gabor Maté is highly sought after for his expertise on a range of topics including addiction, stress and childhood development.

After 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, Dr. Maté worked for over a decade in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness. The bestselling author of four books published in over thirty languages, Gabor is an internationally renowned speaker highly sought after for his expertise on addiction, trauma, childhood development, and the relationship of stress and illness. His book on addiction received the Hubert Evans Prize for literary non-fiction. For his groundbreaking medical work and writing he has been awarded the Order of Canada, his country’s highest civilian distinction, and the Civic Merit Award from his hometown, Vancouver. His books include In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction; When the Body Says No; The Cost of Hidden Stress; Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder; (with Dr. Gordon Neufeld) Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers; and his most recent book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture. Gabor is also co-developer of a therapeutic approach, Compassionate Inquiry, now studied by hundreds of therapists, physicians, counselors, and others internationally.

Thank you, Gabor Mate. I'm 81. Still growing.
Amazing!
When did u start growing
I'm a psychologist and I can relate to all that he says , both personally and professionally. He is a powerhouse of wisdom. So much clarity and such amazing information, imparted so clearly and simple. His humility shows when he says you don't have to buy my book if you don't want to. You can borrow it from a library. This is so contrasting to the tons of self help/ life coaches who arrogantly tell you to buy their books and make tall claims. This man is a gift to humanity. God bless him and his work. Thank you for making such interviews freely available on UA-cam.
Thanks for your comment. I am not a psychologist, but from the very first listening to Mate, I believed him, just based on my pure intuition.
Thank you Dr. Gabor, a wise, gentleman, stay well, you have become part of my journey 🙏
Man this gentleman is refreshing and is by far the most enlightened video I have ever seen. I am blown away by this man. He is fascinating! What a kind human.
I could listen to this guy all day. What a God send. I wish I could find a therapist as compassionate, as wise and as knowledgable as him.
Me too!
Fully agree!!❤
Thank you
Me too!!! Very knowledgeable guy that makes sense make sense.
I agree! He just makes so much sense.
Western medicine is helpful if you don't want to die. Eastern medicine is helpful if you want to live. - Thanks for an excellent video!🙂💙👌🏼
I love this
Well, not always. Many cancer patients who do not change the way they relate to anger will not survive cancer.
Get balance, if it something need surgery, go to western, but if it still in process before become too fatal, use eastern medicine also used it for recovery after surgery
Yet dont make it like eastern medicine is solution for all, since mamy of them full of nonsense, that based on belief and probably dont give much effect on us except placebo effect
Not Western Allopathic Medicine not since 2021 🤯
@@boglarkaszoradi4504because they didn’t follow the eastern medicine to live…they tried not to die.
He saved my life. I was misdiagnosed with panic disorder for two decades. I was taking three 2mg Klonopin a day. After reading "Scattered (Minds)," I was successfully diagnosed with ADD. I was prescribed Ritalin. Immediately, I stopped biting my nails, I went from there a day to .5mg a week. I became sociable and got four jobs plus a volunteer job. Miracle!
Changing your diet will heal ADD
So happy for you!
That is so wonderful! I'm happy you're life got better 🙏🏻!
How did you diagnosed? Did you switch psychiatrists? I’m in the same situation, currently taking a high dosage of klonopin.
May I kkow how does ADD prevents you from being sociable?
I genuinely love Dr. Gabor Mate and his work. This was a particularly excellent interview, however, and my introduction to this channel. I must say Andre, you have found your calling. You ask excellent questions, you patiently await answers without interruption and you don't go off the rails with nonsense or get sidetracked. Nor do you make it about yourself or try to throw in your own tidbits of knowledge to compare. Excellent. Above and beyond. I look forward to checking out the rest of your channel.
Andre is such a gifted interviewer. He asks the most profound questions that many seek answers to. Furthermore, he is such a great deep listener. He waits for the answers and smoothly then moves on. There are alot of podcasters out there who do not have this skill and the audience never gets the full answer. Thank you, Andre. I am impressed by you, young man. Keep bringing us this amazing content.
What a role model. Sad, I found him in my 70s . Wonderful you deserve it xxxsusan I 🫂😪💌🙏🏻
Totally agree. So many times I think shut up and let him talk, but not here. There are also some interviewers who feel the need to repeat what their guest says every time, and some interviewees tho say "great question" each time before answering!
"Super excited" is another one that gets me.
Moan apart...there are some excellent interviewers and guests on UA-cam. Long may it continue.
Yeah he’s great. Respect
His intellect is reflected in his ability to get to the nugget of wisdom in the guest’s communication, drill down further into it or highlight it for the audience. And he strikes me as a very humble person. Just a pleasure to watch his interactions.
He's absolutely awesome.
It's even beyond 'technique' - it's just the very truth of him - being such an effective & sagacious conversation-holder.
I can deeply sense Gabor's authenticity. I love his composure and the way he articulates his points, so simply and concisely. Also that he is a good listener who shares and takes turns as opposed to dominating the conversation and speaking over his host as so many celebrity leaders do. I will buy his book tomorrow.
❤
André is an excellent host, he allows these wonderful people to talk without interrupting them.
Most of the time ...
I could listen to Dr Maté for ever. He says things that we all know deep down to be true and fundamental. He has thought things through in a deep manner, and searched in his own soul. He has suffered and paid deep attention to other human beings in distress. He explains human trauma so well. He speaks about a world that has come to the brink of self-destruction and no longer betters people's lives. Let's hope more like him speak out!
It just hit me that Gabor Mate reminds me a great deal of Elie Wiesel. Their faces show the depths of their sorrow. Elie is gone RIP, but, his writings live on.
We are addicted to the very stress hormones our toxic culture generates, so we seek out ever more stressful exposure to violence, rapid change, ever faster lifestyles, overconsumption, excitement, the newest tech, etc. That addiction to dopamine and endorphins keeps us numbed and seeking more stress with no conscience. Another wonderful interview! Stress R Us
Good points #stress are us !!

@mariesaint-victor4440
I love Dr Gabor Maté. He’s gentle and powerful all the while keeping it REAL. I utilize his knowledge and research at a parent and as an individual. So incredibly grateful to this man and his life’s work and vulnerability. Great interview, Andre!!
He is the a great teacher!
False diagnosed by a inexperienced therapist which had just started therapy practise and she had only seen me 3 to 5 times - diagnosed me with Bpd - had to take overdose of SSRI and gained terribly weight and other severe side effects - when I informed our experienced family doctor - he warned me that most of those "diagnosis" are terribly wrong and he gave me the wise advice to tapper those medication which I started immediately with success - never ever had a personality disorder at all - never ever will take any medicine nor diagnosis from any therapist or psychiatrist at all - my trust into those psychodocs has gone - today I do help myself with watching videos from Gabor Mate which helps me more than any mediciation could ever do it for me.
That is what makes me afraid of seeking therapy. It's not cheap. And I can't afford to be incorrectly diagnosed.
If I feel like I understand my mental health issues more than the therapist.... What's the point?
@@kristinreich6226For me it is so repulsive when a psychiatrist thinks he knows better than you do... When you have insight into your inner emotional processes. He only interprets and misinterprets your nonverbal communication from the outside.
Sometimes you have to trust on them. There are good and responsible professionals in this area. It can be that some people's lives os going to be highly improved with the right psychotheraphy and medical therapy.
@@elianewojslaw9086Medical theraphy? You mean SSRIs? It only work in certain amount of people and like 80% od them are being prescribed by non-psychiatrists like GP doctors.
I was misdiagnosed with BPD and a therapist (not a prescriber) tried to scare me into trying an SSRI for early pregnancy anxiety due to hormonal changes. I soon felt much better without a single intervention, thanks also to my pregnancy hormones. Pregnancy and breastfeeding were protective for me, and I trusted myself to seek care if I were to need it. Later on, I was able to correct my diagnoses and eventually after significant effort and expense received appropriate care from individuals who listened to me. I am able to tolerate a low dose SNRI now as part of my treatment plan. SSRIs are incredibly dulling and numbing, but they can help those who are highly anxious, for example. Medications can have a place, and treatment must be individualized and only competent prescribers should be the ones to recommend them.
Traits that predict and cause illness:
1. Automatic concern for other people's (emotional) needs above your own
2. A rigid identification with duty, role, and responsibility
3. Repressed (and/or suppressed) emotions
4. (Self-limiting) beliefs:
5. Responsibility for other people's emotions
6. "I must NEVER disappoint ANYONE..."
That’s me and at 35 I was diagnosed with RA
Hey this resonates with me so much I really believe this is so true. Iv been lookin after my dad from 12 who was sectioned in a mental facility. All my family never supported me once but theyv used the life out of me for 15 yrs. I'm 32 and hav suffered sexual trauma wen my dad was sectioned at 12 which iv never seemed helped or spoke to ppl about. I hav an auto immune disease due to scratching my skin non stop . All along my dad has put me down accused me of ludicrous things from 12yrs old. Only now am I tryin to seek help. Please tell me what is RA? Xxx ❤️
RA is rheumatoid arthritis- an autoimmune disease
@@linzigordon612I'm sorry for all you went through. RA is Rumatoid Arthritis. Auto Immune disease.
@@DarkKnight-fx1ei thankyou ur an angel ❤️💛 ✨️
To stay true to ourselves, who we really are, when we are living in the world of, The Emperor's New Clothes, while down the Rabbits Hole, at the Mad Hatters party, is incredibly difficult. It takes a lot of courage. It is swimming against the current.
It's why it is so comforting to hear someone speaking a truth. I love it. You are not all alone.💗. There is so much sadness in this beautiful planet. Heaps of love to you.🐝
AS I M REBIRTH OF MASTER OF THE WORLD
SO MY THINK IS QUIET RIGHT
WHO I M
MASTER OF THE WORLD OF PRESENT WORLD
Yes
Brilliant interviewer. When Gabor loses his chain of thought Andre so beautifully summarises all and validates why it was important to just let Gabor talk. He showed that all were valid and relevant and that he was really listening. And for the listener threaded the needle eloquently. So masterful and remarkable
You received it all beautifully perfect ❤
You expressed my thoughts about Andr so eloquently, I could not have said it better. Andre is new to me and I am very impressed by his intelligence, sensitivity, kindness and his respect for Gabor. The world is better because they are here.
I have Gabor's book, The Myth of Normal, and read it at top speed, being as hungry and thirsty as I was for truth.! Now I want to go through it more slowly, to honor my needs for healing at just about every level to mourn the losses of my early life, and be here more completely in this latter end of my life for myself yes, but also for my children, and all who mean a lot to me. What a gift this is for me, I know, but can see how much it could change our world over time. This podcast was lovely to watch and to listen to. Many thanks to you too, Andre, for the intelligence, comfort and love you also display in giving this platform to Dr. Gabor Mate. Thank you both for your being!!!
Shelagh!
I read it once, reading it again. I found so much freedom in that book. I remember numerous times soaking the page with my tears…. Happy tears
As the Words of the Almighty says, and I quote : " In those last days. They will walk in a deep slumber, and all that is good they will call evil, and that is evil will be called good"... we've already been warned and enlightened to this truth by our Maker!
Dr Mate has touched on the actual crisis in the human existence.. we are not our body ,mind or our personality .. our essence is spiritual by nature and this is why we try to comfort ourselves by so many means throughout our lives . I would like very much for Dr Mate to introduce more of the ancient spiritualism that can help us have a solution to this identity crisis in humanity
What a wonderful human Gabor is. I could have listened to him all day. Thank you Andre, for bringing this amount of wisdom to the lay people like me. I appreciate all you both greatly.
I totalt agree, beautiful human ❤ could listen to him everyday!
I can’t thank Gabor enough! I now know I have ADD in me! I’ve cried to my partner and said I need all these strategies to help myself now I know.. he said why fix what isn’t broken.. please just be you 🙏.. I’m so sensitive and disorganized and all I know to change that is to close off.. I’m feeling more myself than I ever have, and Gabor has helped me understand myself so much. The more I can be me the more we all can be us together and that’s so important to me.. connection xxxx
What did you change?
I love Dr Gabor Mate. One thing I appreciated in this interview was how much he acknowledges the health in indigenous worldviews. Even as a scientist and doctor, someone who avoids using words around "divinity," he respects those who see the world animistically and spritually. Science is a valid way to see the world but it is not superior to, and is incomplete without, the heart-centered/intuitive/feminine/indigenous gnosis.
"You are not who you think you are" hits really hard

This has been the single most important video i have ever watched in the 35 years in my life. Over all church sermons. Next to being saved. Starting the beginning of the questions self asking self of what is the problem with self. the answer to core why's. I thank God for you. The accidental finds. From almost getting married out of trauma. what partner would one find when constantly facing traumas, especially when you get older as they come to the surface. The healing starts here.
i root for your healing
So true i realized that i dimmed my light to let others shine, turned 60 and said no more 😊❤
May your next 40 years shine bright, lighting the way for others
Me too turned 60 last October…and I’ve done the same last year…bcs I had to prioritise.
Warm Blessings ❤️🧡💛💖💙💜💚
I'm 77. Did that for decades, Especially for men.
Dr. Mate is the Tiresias of our time, minus the blindness etc. An amazing man warning us all to wake up. Thank you Andre Duqum for a very insightful and incisive interview.
Thank you for explaining where we are at. Self awareness is a healing topic. Lies that have distracted us from being free to simply be our true self. Helen Keller felt blessed. Being deaf and blind helped her experience the invisible world.
Helen Keller was my first Heroine…since a child I read of her…I am partially deaf so helped me a lot. Warm Blessings 💜🕊💜
Dr. there is something special about you. Thank you for your work.
Dear Andre, I would like to say to you the following: there are plenty of podcasters that invited Gabor to share his wisdom, but you are one of the few (very few) that have such clarity in their questions and speach and able to dig deeper into the self.
It was the first time I subscribed to a channel after watching/listening just one video.
Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. ✌️❤
Andre, it is easy to see how relaxed Gabor is with you. Great job on this podcast! My wife and I are big fans of Gabor and now of you :)
Just to hear him talk brings so much peace to me. Thank you André for making this magnificent video with Dr. Maté.
This show needs to be on every network. Like seriously we need to get our poop in group.
I'm getting my sh*t in a pile! It's a big pile...
Agree with you but surely you know Gabor's thinking would not be acceptable to those in charge of major networks, I'm sad to say. We who live this man and his ideas can do the work by letting our friends and families know about him. So glad UA-cam exists.
Should have proofread post. Meant Love instead of live this man.

We knew that…I do that all the time aswell lol

@caroleyre9144 thanks. Blessings to you as well Carol.🥰🥰
Love this episode. My first time here and hearing Gabor Mate. What an enlightening podcast. I'm also loving the Zen vibe of the space. Please share the origin of those chairs!!! or even a tour of the space. It's most beautiful calming podcast background I've ever seen.
(From Germany) Thank you so much André for this great podcast and: God bless Gabor Maté ;-) His wisdom and his way of speaking from the heart is invaluable.
Herzlichen Dank! =))))
Thank you! Why has it taken me so long to discover Dr. Gabor! WATCH as much as you can
I loved the part about it being necessary to be vulnerable to heal. So true ❤ loved this!! Thank you both soooooooo much for existing.
I’m addicted to Dr Gabor’s talks
Well done to the interviewer. I love your manner and ease. I've appreciated Gabor for a long time and you drew him out so well.
Yes....I was becoming sick by saying yes when i wanted no. ...thanks i can put bunderies now and I become healthy 🙏
This world would benefit for more people like Gabor Mate. His wisdom is priceless, I truly hope that his message will reach all corners of the world ❤
Maybe your wisdom is priceless, too.
Gabor mate is an incredible human being. A national treasure who is doing such an amazing service to his fellow beings. 🙏
It’s amazing how this man is pointing out things that influence my situation so accurately
His voice can go on and on so soothing. Love the messages!!❤️🙏🏼
Andre, After listening to both episodes with Dr. Mate' it is so much easy to love all humanity and all species unconditionally. Love without judgement or victimhood is what is going to save humanity and this planet. Thank you for the episodes with Dr. Mate'.
Peace, love and harmony

It's always a pleasure to listen to Gabor Mate and I always learn something of value, thank you ~excellent interview 🙌👏☮️💜
Most of my life was pure trama. Now deal with severe fybromayalsia. Thank you for your wisdom. ❤
I've watched many recent interviews with Gabor Mate. In this one I heard things that were fresh and different. Thank you Andre for your original questions.
He is truly original!!! He is the real deal!! Real HEALER
May you live long and actively, Dr. Mate. The bottom line is that love must guide all thoughts and resultant actions from all mankind. The core of your proposals is that somewhere most of mankind missed the bus ride to love and suffered trauma, mainly in childhood. I suffered thus and agree with your analysis. Finally, let it be said that "God is Love."
So glad I came across this podcast, so many golden nuggets and things to strive for 🙏🏼🌀
Thank you so very much for Gabor Mate' as your guest and your own very insightful way of holding this space for balance and healing ourselves.
This is quality intellectual and compassionate understanding worth listening to more than once, thank you. ❤
I really enjoy your skills as an interviewer. Your intelligent and caring word/ sentences structure allowed the interview to be excellent! Thank you
Gabor confirms, what i always known to be true, i am a bit of a healer, but due to culture and domestication i fell into similar traps. Luckily i was always looking for my truth and understood the need for consciousness. Returning to who i always was. And helping others with the same.. ❤
"RETURNING TO WHO I ALWAYS WAS." Beautiful. Me too!
Wonderful and wise! Helps me to stay on the true path of authenticity and stay away from the trappings of society and culture. Listening to this helps us to 'wake up and reconnect with true selves, such important work we must do for ourselves, for each other and the planet. Much love 💜💙💚 thank you!!!
I love listening to him and isn't cool the way they are sitting... Such a genuine interview
This man is a mastermind. made me cry at the end, i've been trying to understand so much of what has been discussed and i feel i am so much closer to understanding. 💜💜💜 thank you André!
This was a helpful episode I’m reaclimating with indigenous culture and I’m Canadian and I think it has done more work on my issues than years of therapy and many pills. It has made me realize we need to be one with the world and work together it helps me get out of self and it’s made me more present and grateful. This is a great episode I wish there was a simple way to immerse yourself into indigenous culture
The "crab cannot grow if it doesn't shed it's shell really resonated with me. Thank You
Thank you ❤ Dr.GaborMate is Legend! Sending you much love respect and gratitude God bless us all
I respect your views and feel very impressed. This needs to be taught to the whole world. I’m so interested in your ideologies. ❤❤
I love this guy, love the enlightenment he gives us. Thank you
Passivity reminds me of our school system.. we are indoctrinated to be passive.. not learning for ourselves.. just pass the test. That's why I love Waldorf schools. We need form drawing and movement for adults. That's my dream
Also at home. A lot of parents think spanking their children teaches them positive behaviors when really, they’re just beating the soul and critical thinking and self expression out of their child. Parents want their children to be scared enough of them to just listen to everything they say without question. Critical thinking for themselves and questioning things isn’t allowed.
I love the background. Its very soothing and feels like a church or some place that has a nice spiritual vibe. Very nice.
Thank you. I appreciate people who set out to help people! I believe we must get to the very core of everything in life in order to discover how things truly work. It's the only way we will ever understand how to Revere our lives and enjoy our time here!. I don't know how people , especially those who are considered experts in this field, don't know that our lives here are 100% scripted and centered around all of us suffering, unless we figure out how to not suffer!
A true jewel 💎 of a conversation. Thank you for sharing wisdom and insight. Appreciate both your work ❤️
Dr Garbor, thank you for you.
I am in awe and a true believer in all you say.
Having just discovered you in my darkest hour..
now in my 5th painful decade of life...The sense of new found freedom and validation is truly amazing.
Thank you.

I love how the knowledge and the intelligence of Mate humbles down the interviewer, love to see him talking from a more curious point of view
Hello he a great man who has truly studied human being behaviour in a very gentleness manner.
Couldn't believe when I saw that you posted a podcast episode with Gabor Mate! Absolutely love the guy. Can't wait to hear this episode!
First time I listen to you, André, you are great and way better than others that do what you do! Such intelligent thinking and really thought through, important questions. You are inviting Dr Maté to give his deepest, most detailed answers and that is priceless. I am hitting that button! 🤗
Very interesting interview, and also incredible interviewer: balanced, insightful, polite, always asking meaningful questions.
Doctor Gabor Mate should run for president
He won't, that is for narcissists.
He is not an American Citizen 😢
My respect and admiration for Dr. Mate is even greater after watching this episode! I'm going to order his book today
Always deep thoughts from Dr. Mate. Very much needed to hear today. Thank you ❤❤❤
Love this man, his work, and contributions to healing!🙏❤
Growing up in another country (a collectivistic country) I soon noticed that loneliness, isolation and disconnection were the main themes illustrated in American movies. I then moved to the US and could see first hand how the possibilities of becoming independent so quickly made it possible for someone to just move away and be on their own...which could be great, except that it perpetuates separation and keeps people detached from others. Connection is the solution to many mental health and societal issues. I think.
Fully agree 💯
I love hosts who will listen without interupting the flow of thought coming from the guest ...
Amazing book and love listening to Gabor Mate ❤ wow. Hard to fathom just how much old medical material, textbooks, procedure, beliefs etc has just been superseded and outdated with one book 📕 👏 😊
Brilliant discussion. Gabor is so deep and truly educated and Andre a terrific interviewer.
WOW , bought his two books after you had the meet up podcast, because i LOVED it! Thanks for creating this valuable content for society. Its the most anyone can do and offer.
He has more than two!
Thank you Dr for being my guiding force and voice, you put a seed in my mind that i await the strength to water. I feel very excited and cared for in ultimately building my sense of self and growing in such a crazy world. introducing my sweet human self to adulthood is profoundly meaningful and positively invocative.
I NO LONGER
HAVE MY VOICE SILENCED.
I ROAR!!
You are constantly being re-born,
re-created, re-generated, every moment!
Concepts, thoughts, and stories are constantly being re-created.
You are generating it ALL,
and this is unconscious.
When you ‘uproot’ repression and suppression, you unveil Flow.
You CAN change
IN! AN! INSTANT!
Every morning you wake up,
your life story is re-constructed...
Do I have to wake up believing reality is the way I believed it was yesterday?
When breathing is restricted, get curious about what is holding it back,
when it is open, get curious about why that is...
YOU ARE THE ARTIST!
Awareness of something alone IS enough!
It untangles itself,
the knots lets go of You.
Choose Freedom.
Take responsibility for your own suffering.
Great discussion. I'm an admirer of Gabor Maté. Side note: your plants need some love. 🌿🙏🏽
This was so very insightful and authentic thank you so much!
I love this man and his work! ❤
Dr Gabor Mate is an inspiration and I resonate with him whenever he speaks.
I had Breast Cancer back in 2019 and it was a total shock as I was 31. Honestly, it is one of the best things that happened to me as I became sober from alcohol and changed my life. It was traumatic too.
I quelled a lot of my anger and suppressed trauma for years. I had a very traumatic childhood and still working through this trauma now. I have changed a lot as a person as a result of the cancer.
My mother passed away from cancer and we had a strained relationship and I held anger and resentment towards both of my parents. One of the best gifts I'm giving to myself is the space to heal and attending therapy so I can be a healthier person and have healthy relationships.
It's quite amazing how dissociated and disconnected we become due to trauma. Thank you for this great video and for your channel! I appreciate these wise conversations, especially considering the world we are in.
Sometimes, I don’t want to do something in the moment - but if I go ahead and do it - I’m very glad I did it. It could be a chore or hanging out with friends or attending an event.
I have all of fromm s books.......there s nothing more isolative then having that sense of awareness after you're awakening. It's too difficult to wake others up
I enjoyed this interview a lot. Additionally, the interviewer was well prepared and the questions made were sound.
Thank you very much every time that came a new episode part of me want to delay it a little longer cuz I being impatient to wait until next week🤯🔋 thank you and Gabor for the holy work and the freedom you are bringing to us 🙏🏽❤️💎🧿
When I was a child there were problems of respiratory infections I constantly experienced. Then I almost developed asthma, thank god I never actually did though! Anyway, yea life at home was NASTY. As a child I experienced SO much stress to the point I didn’t know what to do & I knew something was very wrong, I just couldn’t understand.
On top of that I was addicted to junk food and at 19 it escalated to drugs😊
This was awesome I was ready to hear all of this great knowledge. Thank you.
❤his new book is coming to me happily 🎉 Gabor saves lives.
The desire for freedom is really what we want - the 3D world we live in has too many restrictions on our freedom. As we move towards the New Golden age, leisure time will increase, we will feel more free. Choose Freedom. ❤
I’ve listened to a lot of Dr Matê’s interviews , workshops , talks ….
And have read some of his work ….
This interview brought even more insights to my awareness !!
Much and grateful thanks!!
I will be listening to this one again !!
Definetly one of the most important video on UA-cam. Gabor & Andre yall incredibly awsome👍🏻
I love animals because they don’t deviate from their nature and Gabor’s soft calming voice and his slight resemblance to an emu speaking his wisdom is the best. ❤️
Emu?!
I kind of liked how you thought him as an emu, I think I see the reason in it. But, the calmness and wisdom he brings, I think Master Oogway from Kung fu panda would be more apt. (A tortoise although fictional)
