How To Hack Your Mind For Fun and Profit

In this video I share with you a few really important concepts that have come to me recently in meditation. I believe if you truly digest and absorb these ideas you can truly experience a deeper peace of mind and freedom of the weight of the matierial world.

Post your thoughts below :)

This is one of the most powerful topics you have covered. I love how you spoke on the massive burden we accumulate as we age related to the huge amount of information we synthesize and carry with us. It is our biggest mistake to believe that our interpretation of events and of the world are objective reality. Do you think we can consciously change the way we interpret our realities and events therein in a way that isn't simply surface level, i.e. on a level that we truly assimilate the new view?

[herbgardner00]

@spenc193 yes it is possible and i think it starts by saying and Inner No to the untruths that we might see and then asking for help or guidance on the matter to see things more clearly.

have you read the holographic universe? it's about our thoughts and imaginations really being the exact same thing. It's synchronicity, I'm reading about this and youre speaking about it. SO to answer your question, I believe the collective thoughts of the populous create our realities.Seriously, EVERYTHING you said, is what I'm thinking about fom reading the holographic universe. If we all thought that we could see the past, we would. If we all think we need to lose weight . . . lol

@RawAthlete i read that book about 5 or 6 years ago and really enjoyed it. =]

[RawAthlete]

@herbgardner00 :) nice, it's making me rethink the obsession we have with food, exercise.

[herbgardner00]

@RawAthlete we do seem to be predisposed to solely focusing on the physical aspects in a very mechanistic point of view. i feel there is much more to reality than this. this seems to make us love the hard styles and the hard paths, when is of course there is always the option of the soft style and soft path.

[cgFeathers]

So the question is what's the difference between our perceptions of events in the world and our perception of our thoughts? Sounds too vague for a universal answer, but I'll try. I think our perceptions are our thoughts, just symbols with an associated meaning. I hope that's what you meant, but that's just the first thing I thought of.

[divinebagofcells]

Thought processes have been colored, formed, and shaped through past experiences. Once you realize this then you can begin to look at it more as a conscious observer and remain more disconnected from. But many view these thoughts as who they are. Imagination to me seems more like creation than interpretation or perception. And for me imagination happens in pictures more.

[WilliamNaville]

I can really synthesize your insight with my philosophy about the quantum world

[scola2323]

@scola2323 yea just started watching all your videos and i am impressed, you are inspiring many many people to think more positively and i really wanna thank you for it. I really wanna start lookin into herbal medicine and I'm all about open-mindedness, yoga, meditation this life just keeps getting better even in the tightest spots theres always something positive you can think about. oh and although I'm gonna try to blow your mind somehow I'm pretty sure you blue mine withthemoonanalogy onelove

[scola2323]

lol yo your thoughts, stories, interpretations, and evaluations are the same as your imagination you just perceive your imagination to not be real or like pshht that can't be real a dragon flying around nd shit; but everything has to be real in order for you think it or imagine it for you to perceive it. so every thing you imagine has to happen somewhere so don't discount your imagination for being real. i hope to live in a more imaginative world one day haha, love everything your doingkeepitup

[toastguy182]

Very cool of you to post these videos. I've bee very interested into grounding the body to the nature in its most well balance state. Alan Watts has some very interesting thoughts. Keep it up!

[Kitterina]

I see the difference as being that the story of what's "normal/real" is an experience we've agreed to fully embrace, whereas "imaginary/dreamlike" is something we have opened only partially... enough to acknowledge its existence in some realm (calling it a dream, the future, a fantasy) while still keeping it at a comfortable distance if its vibration seems to require a less comfortable shift to merge with the current belief system. Becoming aware of this allows the choice of an enjoyable shift.

[steps4success]

Incredible discussion brother, thank you <3

[Johnny7waterface]

@herbgardner00 thanks for sharing your thoughts bro, its funny because as soon as i heard you say that you had these thoughts in meditation at the beginning of the video i knew it would come from spirit, so i stuck around and found out that everything your saying is something i realized in meditation once, This further validates the truth that we all can tap into the same info through meditation, as you know, its like taping into an infinite streem of information, its so cool!

[WeAreBullets]

is this what phenomenology is? lol the idea of "the map is not the territory" ? cause i gotta make a presentation about phenomenology in my sociology class and i kinda understand it but im still tryin to make sure i got it in my head well.

[CelestialHeartz]

thank you so much! You gave me the key to really helping figure out how to once again stop thinking in words =) i forced myself to as a kid after i found out 80% of people think in words.. so i thought not thinking in words was bad but i know now it is soo limiting

[Frutti87]

I remember going through similar thought patterns and comming to the conclusion that the map really is the territory and that immagination, thoughts, evaluations, judgements, are all the same thing, only used in relation to different objects,

This of course is only true when expressed. and or refered to by your thoughts. Since no system can describe reality in terms that exist outside said system. This is from inside of my body and carries no real meaning outside of the systems that interpret it

[belligerentkj]

Ignorance in both cases answers your questions. Our mind can only interpret life through what little it knows. It may seem out dated to hear, although it still holds true. Even before birth we are learning from our parents through inherited traits which range from depression to joy. The human mind is in it's self a kind of God. It has the ability to create and manifest. We are in essence pure energy.

[theunknowncove]

@tysonwilliams95 But when I do think of something evil, am i creating the evil souls or are they actually real demonic souls that are attracted to me because of my thoughts??

[tysonwilliams95]

@theunknowncove Whilst Astral Projecting watch what you think. Everything you think can manifest on the astral planes. So you don't want to be thinking about anything evil or you will attract it!

[theunknowncove]

Hey herbgardner, I have a a question .. When you astral project do you ever run into demons???? I've 2 OBE's before and the last one I had there was a very frightening, shadowy figure next to me and I could litterally feel his evil energy mixing with mine and it was scary as shitballs. I could feel his intentions were very, very evil and sinister. How do I keep this from happening because this subject is very fascinating to me and I don't want to be scared to project.

[xaktube]

so, you're just talking about perspectives and how we need to be more objective than subjective. your theory is nice but you could have cleaned it up.

[JaggLion]

@FelixNobody This is very true. It's hard to get people to understand what is outside the box while they are still in it. They have to, figuratively speaking, get out and see it for themselves to fully understand these things - kind of like a personal "AHA!" moment that can rarely be described in words.

[slickDsilly]

@spenc193 im not sure my answer will be what exacly what you are talking about

[slickDsilly]

@spenc193 its not so hard to believe if you ask me how

[slickDsilly]

@spenc193 yes iv done it

[FlaiteOne]

This is great, quemical reactions form the universe we stand on; but our own neurological reactions are the ones that link us to the cosmos and create subjectivity. Now, why would imagination be different from the creative process of sensitivity and the post processing, if imagination is the re-processing of stored information inside of us. That´s like saying 8 is real but 4 is not. Dreams or subconscious speak us about inner spectrums we dont need to know; but when the time comes, we will.
