  • The most important question we can ask ourselves is, "Who am I?" If we think it's our body, which part? The brain? Which part? People have survived brain surgery in which a portion of the brain was removed, yet they still exist.
    Are we our past? People suffering memory loss are no less themselves. So who the heck are we?! And more importantly, why does it matter?
    We cannot understand the problems in our lives or the problems in the world if we do not first understand ourselves. Every thought we have, every problem and every difficulty in life, stems from how we see ourselves.
    In the film, Finding Your True Self: A Love Story, discover the oneness within you and around you. Break free from the fears and pressure you place on yourself. See through the illusion of separateness and loneliness. And start the journey of self-discovery, self-love, and ultimately, self-transcendence.

    I'm in my home, in my bed and my bed is so comfi. I can take a nap and drink a cup of tea. I have this perfect life after so much misery. I got out.

    Todd, I can't explain how this resonated with me. I could feel your every emotion. The message went straight to my internal inbox. I've been feeling stressed and anxious about my daughter. My elderly mother. Even my pets. Your message made me clearly realize that while there are things I can do to make their lives smooth I cant do it all and there will be inevitable hardships. I cant stop them, but I can be prepared and accept them with all their accompanying hurt. This realization while so obvious lightened me and I smiled for the first time in a long while, a real smile that came from my chest. I will listen to this post daily. And each time I will reap a new insight. And your book will be added to my shelf of wisdom. Peace and blessings to you my friend.

    "Find nothing to be happy about" removes expectation I guess. Pain doesn't last forever, true. When pain and discomfort pass growth follows- like a bushfire that has ravaged bushland, afterwards new shoots come through and new life starts.

    Todd, this is so powerful, so wise, so helpful in healing, so encouraging. There may be at the moment more famous teachers who try to bring over the essence of ancient wisdom, but no one to my knowledge manages to teach it in such a way that even the youngest and oldest members of our modern (western) societies can relate and easily understand the most important lessons to live a fulfilled and purposeful life like you do. Keep your great work up, voices like yours are what is desperately needed in our times.

    🙏🏼🩵 “A state of permanent joy is hidden at the very center of consciousness. This is the Eden, to which the long journey of spiritual seeking leads. There, the mystics all agree, we uncover our original goodness. We don’t have to buy it; we don’t have to create it; we don’t have to pour it in; we don’t even have to be worthy of it. This native goodness is the essential core of human nature.” Eknath Easwaran
    What a lovely video to fall upon my feed.✨ I’m grateful for my difficult life of traumas - it was my training ground to be the light. May all beings be free. 🙏🏼 Shlama Alakoom - peace be upon you.

    "There isn't enough pleasure to satisfy our dissatisfaction". YES. Because like he says in the beginning, what we are truly missing is not pleasure, but HOME. We are filling our longing for our own substantiality, home, with the candy floss of pleasure

    Just as there are those immensely painful moments that as memories continue to trouble us if we don't or can't let go, there are some -- special -- precious -- divine -- amazing -- fulfilling -- happy and joyous moments that actually make all this suffering, this doing, this being, worth its while. Listening to you helps to become calm and to be aware of this miracle that's unfolding in the (every) moment. And to be grateful for Everything. Thank you❤ 🙌🙏

    Truly resonated with me Todd. I've been on my journey for a while now but I've never really been able to let go of the past and until I do I cannot moved forward. By you explaining that we should 'question our story', truly think about our story and perhaps turn it on it's head is just what I need right now. Yes question it! so it's impact on your present life lessens and eventually dissipates. I find journaling really helpful too. It not only focuses the mind but during times of stress and uncertainty it is always there to refer back to, to give comfort, peace and confidence that one is moving forward and progressing. Bless you and thank you

    I have suffered so much in my life that now at 71 the least little upset feels like a tragedy that I cannot overcome. I’ve been awake all night because I bought a new bed and it feels horrible and destabilizing like I made an irreparable decision that can never be fixed. What you’re saying sounds great but only while I listen to you. After that, I’m back to my reality.

      It may feel like all the tragedies have weakened you, but they have actually strengthened you. Your mind is making mountains out of molehills because you are close to awakening from the mental turmoil. Stay present and keep noticing that inner narrative, but don't believe it for a second. You are above the stories it weaves.

      So sorry my friend that you are struggling I too am 70 years old and not had an easy life It still is an upward battle but I try not to take it as a personal attack on me but search through videos like above or working on the inside of myself to find the answers Your new bed may feel like it's the end of the world because you made a wrong decision but it is just a bed I am not being unkind am just trying to get you to focus more on yourself and ask yourself why you feel so upset Your answers are to be found on the inside Perhaps try meditation mindfulness Keep working on the inside Self Much 💕 to you

    • @ravenofthewild
      @ravenofthewild Před měsícem

      There is healing if you really want it. If you haven't done it you might consider therapy. What your words suggest is you are doing a cognitive behavior called "awfulizing", it's making the very worst of a situation in your mind. It's also seeing the cup half empty instead of half full.
      If you have done therapy then perhaps you need a different therapist.
      In this day you can Google different types of therapy and healing to find the best for your personal situation.
      I send you loving kindness and a blessing that you take the steps to heal, it's never too late. PS. I'm almost 70 and came from much trauma myself and made the choice to heal.
