  • bullshit

  • I wish i was old enough to completely understand this. Im just not in that state of mind yet :<

  • You can't just "atone" for something wrong you did by doing other "good" things. The good does not "make up for" the bad. What youre are saying is to try to counterbalance guilt from bad w/ good feelings from good deeds. That does not work-even at the most basic level. You can't "stop twice" at enough stop signs to UNDO your legal guilt & traffic ticket for not stopping at just 1 stop sign. We all need guilt TAKEN AWAY, not counterbalanced. We don't "do" something for that; we need grace.

  • fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

    I'm suffering right now due to my fears of the world. To me the world is a scary place. How do I overcome this fear?

  • Anger equals denial. Face Fear.. Guilt hurts yourself..... Atone..Thank you again for simplifying. Not being sarcastic, You really make sense. UTube is awesome...I love the sharing....

  • Couldn't it also be the other way around, rather that people deny you your peace in imposing their will upon you, in that you do not want to change, making you uncomfortable? Isn't that a justifiable anger, that if you do not want to change, though, knowing that you could but wont, would rather stand alone and avoid people altogether; though, that other people won't accept it, makes your world a living hell?

  • @JosiahSCooper

    (2) Further: rather, that the anger becomes a tool for stability in times of distress, in not wanting to change for others.

  • I just want to thank you again for this wonderful work you are doing. The information you are sharing continues to be incredibly helpful!

  • hi, I was sexually abuse for eight months about ten years ago. I was so afraid and intimidated that I din't even try to defend myself . It's been a long time since it happened but I still think about it everyday sometimes,for hours and hours. I just feel so much anger and guilt for not defending myself the right way. I try not to think about it and move on with my life but it just keeps coming back. Do you have any advice that can help me? Thank you in advance and thank you for this video.

  • I hear you, however I think the human condition is to suffer since only the dead are not seeking something. Seek and you shall suffer and be happy.

  • @TheDarchorse

    No: suffering is only as a result in accepting things you do not want, but don't or do have control over. Either way and even if you didn't have control over an event, you don't have to accept it in staying with it; you can always move on (excluding death), via mentally, physically or emotionally; the choice is yours, though, it can be a constant struggle in choosing.

  • Excellent video but slightly soporific. I got distracted half-way through and lost you for about 5-10 seconds. Try some humo(u)r or some pictures to illustrate your points. That's just my take on it, maybe I'm just a part of the internet generation with zero attention span.

  • ummm this man and bashar has the right attitude

  • this is amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • (cont.) However, guilt is an emotional trap as it precludes resolution - it is a social manipulation tool (e.g. parents guilting their children) that teaches us to avoid punishment by rendering ourselves indefinitely controllable by others.

  • Great video but I have one addition - guilt, I believe i a way of coilingaway from taking responsibility for one's actions. When we feel guilty we feel we are punishing ourselves so we can avoid being punished by others AND we are justified in not facing up to our doing and making it up to the other or doing our best to fix the situation.

  • Actually you mean shame, not guilt, because shame is the feeling of doing something wrong. But guilt is that "pebble in your shoe" -kinda feeling which has been programmed into humanity by priests, politicians and parents and it doesn't do any good. Shame is good, guilt isn't. I agree with what you said about anger and fear.

  • I agree alot with what he says but why is it when someone discovers something they say Anger "always" is the result of denial. Are you sure it's "always"? I can certainly think of cases where anger is a biological instinct intended to create enough energy to change a situation (as in 'fight or flight'). Anyhow great food for thought overall.

  • nice+|

  • Wow, this is another great video. This reminds me so much of the book I've read called Practicing the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. It's a great read.

  • Typically, anger is well known to be a secondary emotion; representing loss, fear and frustration. But this is limited, and doesn't get to root.

    Loren's hypothesis is accurate as a working tool: anger as denial in a graph - the greater the anger, the greater the denial.

  • I like the idea of someone like yourself spreading an enlightened view of these negative emotions. I do agree with you on many things, but I think that anger is almost always an EXPRESSION of fear. Fear is the soil in which a seed of anger flourishes. In the case of telling a parent that they are poisoning their children it is their fear that you are correct that sprouts the anger. Fear and denial are closely related, but fear will gnaw a hole through you. Anger is a way of abating fear.

  • Terrific video series. You are one of my all time favorites! Thanks so much for all the hard work putting these together. I have really learned a lot from you.

  • Some people believe that guilt is an illusion brought about by early teaching. That is, if they hadn't been "brainwashed" as kids, they'd be...... free! Free!! (as if that's all that matters) Also, hardly anyone realizes that gossip is repressed anger. The next time you gossip - you'll know it. I don't believe all anger is denial. When you try to prove that it starts getting stuffy. Anger usually results from the thwarting of your will.

  • Thank you "Lorax". I really Enjoy ALL your videos . They really are helpful in seeing the big picture. you are very wise and your calm and simple fashion of explaining things is great to . Keep um coming , ill be watching .hehe

  • Thanks for making this video. I found your thoughts very insightful, especially about fear.

  • @mysteryschool7 I agree that negative emotions can become habitual. Additionally, it can be partly induced when the body is in a toxic state. Detoxing the body, such as through water fasting or other techniques may free up the channels of thinking may be creating mental emotional looping effect, or a kind of emotional entrapment. Once free, they can create their own emotional state at will.

  • Part of what you described in recognizing emotions as valuable allies is similar to the 12 step programs' 4th step, "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves."

    In Scientology this may be the "auditing". Interestingly, with auditing, the person becomes aware of the emotional triggers that have become fused with a highly charged emotional state in the memory banks. Emotionally charged memory could be any sensory memory that occurs during time of high and sudden stress.

  • You make a very good point about anger and denial. How did you ever learn about the relationship between anger and denial?

  • @bamatommy The "Big Book" of Alcoholics Anonymous partly addresses this concept in the 4th step of their 12 step program: "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves."

  • the anger part didnt really work for me, i have ppl in my family that make me want to kill them like everyday, IM NOT REALLY GOING TO!! just exxagerating, but i really dont do the denial part for it sometimes, i just get really mad and get them back, but im still mad at them like days later. sooo, whats up with that??

  • wow this guy is smart, lol

  • Lorax2013, thank you for the videos. Here's a question: I get infuriated each time someone calls me the N-word. I understand parents getting angry at a person telling them that they're feeding poison to their children (because they subconsciously know it) but what denial does the "N-word" paradigm represent? Do all black people subconsciously believe they really are N-word?

  • who the fuck is this guy

  • Dude you don't know what you did for me. Love and Light. Thank you so very much.

  • What about fear of meeting people or fear of calling a family member that you haven't spoken with in years?

  • hey lorax- do u make use of available psychology or are these all your original analysis?

  • @1one1republic psychologists have one of the highest suicide rates based on profession lol

  • You nailed it! You should write a book about it.

  • You definitely hit the nail on the head for me in regards to anger. I never realized why I was angry, but your analogy about the pushy boss was an eye opener. I'm now looking at all the situations that have made me angry and there is so much truth in this video for me. Thank you!

  • Great vid, I can only agree.

  • Big Call .........

  • Reality check for anyone who likes to blame the world for their problems. I admire your knowledge and awareness on these emotions

  • @Shreddzilla and it may also be referring to the idea of coming into integrity with self and taking responsibility.. or sensing the power one has in taking responsibility ("response" + "ability").

  • I don't doubt for a second that YOUR problems pale in comparison to others' problems.

  • Believe it or not, Earth stones in your hand can make you feel great. Try 1 or 2 tho, like Carnelian alone or Carnelian with one of these: Tiger Iron, Blk Tourmaline, Pietersite.

    Don't believe me? Check out "Chemtrails Dissolved" and "Cloudbuster Workshop". Orgone pipes get rid of chemtrails in 5 to 10 minutes, 40 mile radius, using crystals & Earth stones. Chemtrail junk I'm sure is causing people to be angry and afraid, and sick. Get rid of chemtrails. Easy. soisnessdotorg.

  • @waltermouthoh you make an interesting point. That is that toxins in the body can effect the mind and emotions. Or can effect the accuracy of identifying sensor input and judgment/evaluation of the sensory input. Kind of like causing an emotional/mental uncoordinated condition. Detoxing the body and mind, such as through "water fasting", one of a number of techniques, can help clear the body and the mind - sensory and emotional mechanisms.

  • shoot, refreshed by accident & lost my comment. Can you speak a bit more about acceptance. You say, if you can't change something that makes you anger, best to accept it but how do you do so? Acceptance that isn't genuine seems almost like another flavor of denial.

  • I have guilt about rediculous things, is there some type of medical term for extreme guilt?

  • Yes its called "Hand of the money for pills that don't work" ......

  • greatly put

  • Fab...really good  and so true..

  • You have a nice presence. The knowledge you impart will empower many. Being brilliant is one thing but your ability to relay the information is truly a gift not many have. I enjoyed this video immensely. Your light shines bright. Renee

  • emotion=action

  • Good video, thanks for posting!

  • atone = at One new identity. No longer the harmer. Innocent = In (not) nocent (harm). Knowing you've been changed and are no longer that person. Classic illustration -- Christ, "Neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more."

  • amazing! it really is. i just wish that one day i'll become as analitical as you. then again, i hope that i won't make me numb cuz after you convert all ur feelings into information/instruction data it's almost like loosing the taste of it all. anyway, a very good video indeed. made me think and that's a 5star rating from me.

  • The delusion of the ego is that increased wisdom equates to numbness. If we use our analitical mind to observe the world, we will feel and taste it all more, not less.

  • Loren, this is among the best videos that you have offered, and that is saying something because EVERYTHING you have offered is brilliant. Your entire collection is an invaluable gift to anyone lucky enough to stumble upon it. Blessings and much thanks. And keep them coming. Andrew

  • Anger, fear and guilt disappear when one wakes up out of ego-identification. How to do that? Question/examine/turn-around stressful thoughts. Lorax reeks of wisdom but if you can't quite grasp it, look into "The Work" of Byron Katie (lots on YouTube). It will show you that you, your parents and your "friends" have been insane (in a nice way) your/their entire life. It is 4 simple questions that will dissolve your illusory world.

  • thank you!

  • is it possible to trick the brain into causeing the body to feel fear without the persons phobia being there?

  • I missed the word "frustration" along with the "angry", like when speaking about parents getting angry when told they actually put poisons into their children, there will often be a frustration along with the "I subconsciously know it" that leads to a "But what am I supposed to do!?" Frustration is hand in hand with anger and fear.

  • @Kenzofeis i agree. Frustration is a way of interpreting or responding to feelings of anger. Perhaps when a person is experiencing frustration, they are in the active stage of creating or problem solving

  • what if someone murders my relatives? and I feel anger? Is that also denial? what kind of denial is that?

  • IMO, we tend to get angry at people who commit murder because we are in denial that someone could do such a thing. However, we accept that an animal/bacteria could kill us so we don't usually get mad at the culprit in those cases - instead we just move to the next phase (sadness) while taking logical action to minimize the risk in the future (the logical action may of course include punishing the culprit or killing the animal/bacteria as a deterrent).

  • @lorax2013 actually I believe that's wrong. If you are angry at a person who commits murder it can be for a variety of reasons but not really the one you said. We all know people kill people, all the time. It's just more socially acceptable to get pissed off at murderers.

    However, people also do get angry at bacteria/animals/viruses but it's not healthy to be angry when sick and we tend to think "it could be worse" or "theres worse cases out there" etc.. Especially when there is no one to blame.

  • are you a vegetarian?

  • No, I'd say my diet is about half vegetarian and half paleodiet.

  • Great strategies to not be consumed by our mind. Simple & easy to apply. Often guilt is societal conditioning which has nothing to do with wronging another. For example someone might be made to feel guilty for being radically honest. The only "offense" committed is not being phony. Guilt from lying, stealing, or adultery is guilt in which improves our character.

  • do you smoke pot? you sound really mellllo.

  • I like your video, but you speak of guilt as if it's always justified. Sometimes your ego makes you feel guilty for things you can't atone for! I feel guilty leaving my dog every morning, and it happens every morning (and I spend tons of time with him otherwise). How do I atone for that? Instead I watch the feeling and know it's not really "who I am," just a repetitive thought pattern. I like everything else you said, esp about anger. Just a thought.

  • intelligent and REAL!

  • The only negative aspect of this video is that few people are seeing it.

  • Hi, thank you for that; basically, you speak of self-accountability, forgiveness of self and others, and self-examination...wow! You are giving some sage advice. Let us hope that some are taking it to heart.

  • thank you for sharing so much, you can learn a lot of valuable knowledge from Lorax, watch his other videos and you will be hooked too
