I met the Enemy and that enemy was me. For so many years I fought everything and everybody. The only person I beat up was myself.
Today I live by a wonderful belief.
The Best Way to Predict the Future. Is to create it “Yourself”
Thank you Will…..

Is self awareness really being aware of your inner thoughts and feelings? How can you beccome aware of self, of something that is unlimited, through limited thought and feeling? Is self really the noisy mind that is ever changing even without our meddling to try and change it? Or is self-awareness something different, something beyond our beliefs, thoughts and feelings, yet gives rise to them? Something we havent yet imagined, nor are able to imagine.

Continue.
believe that once we are honest with why we think a certain way or way do certain things then we can change the negitive aspects of our personallity & move to a more positive. This will make you feel good about yourself & in turn that radiates out to thoughs around you. If these vidios help us to find that true inner selfs then I’m all for it

I agree. I myself do not believe in the Christian concept of god. This, though has nothing to do with ” GOD” I has to do with an honest understanding of yourself. Yes it is true that I may believe or follow certain paths of behaviour due to my personal belief system, but selfawareness is simply that….being aware of my inner thoughts & feelings.

Not stupid at all. Sometimes our brains want to do their own thing, we just have to learn to take back control.

I can’t do things because I think I can’t or that I am not good enough, how stupid is that?

Learning comes to us in many different forms, to deny this gift we cannot embrace ourselves to the synchronicity of existence that is Oneness. Embrace your brothers and sisters there is a message for you even if you don’t see it right away.

Hi there.I am not sure why you so easily peg me as religious.I am anything but that. I do not believe in “god”.That is just a word we humans have made up, abused, and started wars over. The infinite can never be qualified as completely male, female or anything else. The infinite is just that….infinite. Any definition falls short and is just a limited human concept of a limited human mind. Even the word “infinite” is a concept. Reality lies beyond all concept, and only the real exists.

Obviously you are very religious… but consider this God does not do verything for us.. he walks with us yet he doesn’t move move our feet, he wants us to be happy yet he doesn’t force us to.. In order to live a happy life at the side of Jesus it is very helpful to understand what we think and why we think that way. Self awareness is nothing more than self understanding, which helps me be a better servant of God and it may be a way that God uses to show me what I should change and how.

great video, thanks for sharing!

Also “becoming” self aware is misleading. It is not a process. It is a simple turning of attention back to self and you are there. Period. There is no “how”. It is true things do not happen to us, but neither do we make them happen. Does life happen to us, or are we alive? Do we make life happen to us, or are we alive? It is the same thing. We are life itself, whole and complete, in spite of our thoughts, belief , desire, or circumstance.

Who is it that needs to take control and design a life they think they desire? This video seems more about ego empowerment than spiritual growth.. Religion and psychotherapy have been doing that for ages. This is not new. We definitley need to ask the important questions, but these are superficial. What you desire yourself to be is not as important as who and what it is that desires. Not so much what you believe but who or what it is that believes and needs belief.

man, thanks for the invitation!!!!!!!!

And so does everyone – and this is called ego, which will end at death. So either you stop it now – the fear of losing who you believe yourself to be – or death will do it.

I am very open minded, and I actually took the time to create a text document. I paused the video and answered all of these questions. However, I tend to pay attention to small details. I had watched the introduction video, and payed attention when you stated you lost the left leg. I thought the crutch was on the wrong side at first, but i continued to watch without question. The mirror at the end was a nice touch. Lol. I enjoyed this video, and I will definitely watch more of them. Thank you.

i have very strong beliefs and a very unique identity. I do not intead to change this.

any religion , any system of beliefs where the foundation is not built on logic but a story or conceptual idea that no 2 people would ever come up with on there own. With freedom of the mind, 2 people worlds apart would have the same ideals in life , never having been taught them nor being influence by any outside medium from the mind.
