ending is cool

I thought this was great. He would be a good content partner for You Are a CEO the network for entrepreneurs.

@KrazyKrunk I wouldn't say "lesser thinking". "religion" so-called is a foundation to morality, an introduction to the order of life, based on knowledge of The Creator (and thus, "father"). I don't find any hindrance due to religion in what this guy is saying. Christ demands that we take responsibility for our lives, and to know that we will be judged based on our actions...

Thanks for inviting me to watch these video's. I've taken many of the courses that landmark education offers and this is similar to the journey I've been on for the past 15 years. Thanks for brining it to anyone who seeks. You have a nice way of putting things. I feel aknowledged for who I have been committed to being and for seeing how I am still committed to being certain way's I thought I had transformed.

[ce3ro]

Nah i dont agree........I discovered my self by getting cloz to religion. religion doesnt close ur mind...it opens it.

atleast mine doesnt :) Islam...peace :)

[cowyow101]

I am aware my life is where it's at because of the stupid things I do buy I just cant find the motivation to change.

[petboy9]

Ugh I got a headache, ah so much big words I have such a small brain..... Ah...

[devil7995]

thank you for this free lesson, this is only my first video but i can see this is going to help me, thank you again

[josephdiegodiamante]

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.....

[Testingpointer1]

this vid shake my chest,..T_T,.. thanks,..

[ricksullivan]

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

[cuervo1957]

Thanks for making and sharing these ideas, they are so true. Also thanks for making these videos available free of charge. You are an asset to humanity.

Love Health and happiness to you my friend.

[Sjappelientje]

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

[alittleblackrose]

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

[Kaunazz]

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.

[divamischieva]

great video, thanks for sharing!

[OnlyHereNow]

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.

[OnlyHereNow]

continued....

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.

[devjohann]

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.

[OnlyHereNow]

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.

[ricksullivan]

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.

[OnlyHereNow]

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.

[devjohann]

ertwe

[aleterra]

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

[bakarujin]

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.

[smileysweetie54]

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

[jamblinuk]

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.

[missfaizamalik]

very nice, highly appreciated......

[filosofia0098]

Thanks for your time

[RADIANTandRAW]

Thank you, so important!

[GoalGuru]

Love you and love this series Willard. Brilliant !

[AngelofGratitude]

Thank you for this work you are doing!

[RonRay]

The ending zoom-out really took me off guard!

Great ending to a great video!

[khawar93]

wondeful talk ... highl appreciated...Keep it up please....

[AnimalDeStuff]

This is a good video series. Looking inward onto yourself is hard, but what happens is nobody's fault. The experience you have dictates what you will think, and what in turn you choose. The same goes for every sentient being, therefore the bad and good things that happen are just the side effects of the big bang. And no one's fault.

[atomarane]

Great call on the ending shot. :)

[ozmosis1]

I think these are all very good questions. I think I have asked myself these questions often and have to answer them again at different times of my life.

There are reoccurring themes that are either serving me or not. The answer is unclear to me as of yet. It seems that even the bad moments serve the higher good even though I don't like them when I am going through them. :)

[nancyl2]

Love your honesty ozmosis. I think the most important thing I learned is NOT to resist the "DON'T LIKE BAD" : -) I use 'Lifes situations + challenges, because words have energy, +when you use the word "BAD" or even "PROBLEMS" you automatically add the fear-pain-+ suffering to the mix. When you face your life situations with a quiet spirit, sit still+ breath + come into the NOW, + only face the "situation" when it must be faced, Ideas will come into your mind to help you KNOW what to do .: -)

[dragonofthedawn40]

With the way life is going and the changes going on in the world, everyone's cage is going to be rattled, and many foundations will crumble, but when one gets to where there is only self and truth to work with, and everything else had been stripped away, then a solid life, one which cannot be shaken could be built, it is a long process...it is tough, it is painful, but I for one was sick of the facades, anyway....

[skept1c615]

It is, I hope, going to be the greatest change. I have already been stripped of almost everything, and when you get to the bottom of the fo0d chain, you don't want to go back.

[cheriemoya]

@KrazyKrunk - I agree with you 100% and have in a sense lost my religion as well. It's all part of the journey.

[flare765]

lol that was crazy at the end when he turned out to be in a mirror the whole time

[KrazyKrunk]

there is a time throughout the transformation of thought that i found myself having very dark thoughts about reality and life. I feel that if you are a very religious person, this process will be harder for you. I have become self aware to the point where there is no more belief, i have in a sense lost my religion . I find aimless faith is useless to this process and hinders any progress desired. U have to break your thoughts down to nothing, and rebuild due to years on lesser thinking.

[TruthBeyond]

What was that religion.

[KrazyKrunk]

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.

[Jack11017]

@KrazyKrunk or, you can recognise the acomplishment of both your self-awareness and open-mindness as a religious initiative itself, not in the dogmatic, leigh term of religion but in a scheme of filtred and deliberate believes. A religious experience may come from a brand of new emotions, ex: Witnessing the birth of your son, make a new, valuable friendship or holding on to one for over the years. One never truly loses his religion, only in the institutionalized term.

[Jack11017]

@KrazyKrunk which is what you called aimless, or irrelevant, in practical terms.

[ummmj]

@KrazyKrunk whyd u lose ur religion?

[BigLooseVag]

@ummmj I agree entirely with what "@KrazyKrunk" has said and have also lost my religion. It is because I started asking questions about everything in my life and demanded rational answers. I found no rationality in my previous beliefs because I was believing simply because I had been taught that it was the right thing to do. My peers believed, my family believed, people i looked up to, people on tv. It was all around me and I wanted to do the right thing for them. Now that I'm doing the right

[BigLooseVag]

@ummmj thing for me and thinking solely for myself I find religion only as something that held me back. It was a nice thing to believe in. Just like when I was a child and believed in Santa. It's great to have someone to be good for all year that you can count on to reward you with presents. But I don't need religion, and the ridiculous promise of an afterlife to convince myself to be good. I have morals and i have a teenage brain that is slowly developing rationality finally.

[ummmj]

@BigLooseVag w.e u wanna believe than

[sana85]

110% Truth

[nubianqueen04]
