- Jeff talks about the core fears that might arise when we begin to open up to our pain... and how we can find the courage to keep going despite the 'warnings' of the mind. Jeff talks of the fearful mind as a gatekeeper....

What released me from this one is compassion. I decided if I am going mad I need my compassion now more than ever before in my life. Highly useful video. Thank you. ❤️🧸❤️
As someone who has "gone mad" (experienced intense psychotic episodes with equally intense moments of spiritual insight preceding them) I can say that even if you do fall into the dreamtime of psychosis while edging around this total sensation of Liberation and Oneness, you'll wake back up and it's full of rich symbolism as a reflection of where you are in life at that moment. I'm grateful for my visions as they are just as valid as any other life experience and should be honored as such. Much LOVE, Jeff!!!!
Ehh. First of all, I love you my brother, you are the last spark of something good in my life. I'm in a - so called- "dark night of the soul" since 2012, soon after I have had glimpse of my true self, or so called, Samadhi. That "experience" changed everything, and I'm looking for enlightment ever since. My life is a one big crisis, basically since I was born. Now I'm seriously sick, completly broke, at the verge of being homeless. I don't know how to talk to people anymore, deal with my friends and family. I don't know what to do. Very negative energies attacks me constantly. I just literally don't know how to live anymore. I just wanna be out of this life, yet I can't kill myself. I know, I need to wake up, but I've been trying for almost 8 years now, but there are so many obstacles. 8 years and I feel that I'm more separated from "god", hapiness and love than ever. I love all Advaita techares that my life put on my path, but I just cannot listen to them anymore. I'm totally fed up. I'm just DONE. All I really want is peace, love and abundance in my life and instead I've got true hell with demonic energies. Im sorry, I rarely comment anything on the net, but this words jut poured out of me by themselfs... (Sorry for any errors, English is not my native language). I love you all, my brothers and sisters, who are dealing with similar problems. I want to hug you so much...
Drop the search.What you are looking for is what you are looking through,You are inside already and yet you are knocking the door thinking you are outside.
I want peace.I is the ego.Want is the desire.Remove the the i,remove the want,and what are you left with?
I've been going through similar things. I'm with you, I love you
May you be blessed with peace, love and abundance
Three simple tools to get you moving forward today , go for a walk in nature everyday for the next 3 days, drink only water for the next 3 days , a gallon a day if possible, simply just take deep breaths for 5 -10 mins a day , small but powerful
Thank you. I made this up: They say God won't give you more than you can take.
He tested me hard but I didn't break.
When you go along thw way, problem is when there is no distraction. You dont have choice. And fear is so strong, and sometimes owerhelming. I have songs in head, trying to distract from painful feelings
I don’t know how I ever found your videos but I can’t stop crying, thank you so much for saving my life!
This was much needed...Thank you!
When I watch your videos I always start laughing, probably because it's a way to express emotions or I'm just happy to feel understood.
Btw I love you Jeff, your words are deep and helps me a lot.
I can’t thank you enough! This is exactly what I needed to hear tonight. Such a blessing! ❤️🙏
I'm glad you said the part about being afraid the feeling will last forever. That is me. If you have anymore to say about that, I'd love to hear it. I always think that it will always be there.
Thank you for this jeff.. 🙏🏼
I needed to hear this so bad thank you very much for your explanation. In the middle of trying to get rid of fear not knowing how to heal trauma or allow feelings 🙏
I love what you have to say, Jeff. Thank you :)
Wow best video I’ve seen on this topic yet thank you so much my brother going mad is in the mind not in reality 🙏🏼
Now I'm afraid that I'm not afraid of going mad anymore! :P

This is really practical and very meaningful advice when encountering all types of challenges on our journey through life. I found the discussion of the gatekeeper archetype very poignant: It is difficult to view gatekeepers as friends and not enemies, especially when extreme fear tries to drive you back from crossing certain spiritual and emotional thresholds. It's probably unintentional, but this is also great advice when confronting the recontextualization of one's identity when using psychedelics.
So much love man.
Thank you Jeff from the deep of my heart 🙏🏻
Thanks for this, it really helped me today 😊
Thanks Jeff you are doing a great job describing what happens to me. It is amazing to know that we have such similar experiences.
And I keep crossing the bridge...it's dark but i have faith ;)
Thanks Jeff.
Thanks Jeff! :)
Spot on Jeff 😊👍
Thank you.
I wish I had watch this sooner. I had the same fears.
Wow future scenes....
Wow....
Jeff ❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nice live video .....haha
feels like your heart swallowing.
I don’t have those fears... so I’m I mad?
of course. :)
In my case I wasn't feared that I am going mad and I eventually got stuck in a mental hospital :D
But I was afraid that i will die if I continue to do what I was doing,so I stepped back and failed to beat my ego.
I believe that my ego, strengthened from winning, led me in that hospital.
P.S. I was on LSD
I would totally slay some dragons with you Jeff (no homo)
