Brett ~ can I ask a question please? Where does "feeling" fit in, from your perspective? I've always believed that the Formless comes with a good feeling, and Personal Thinking comes with a less-than-good feeling, and in this way, the feeling is a guidance system for us? Not that we have to "do" anything except understand it? Like standing in front of a bonfire, we naturally move away when we get too hot, we don't need to practice any techniques, it's built-in to the system? I'd love to know your thoughts on this please Brett! ❤🙏🏻

Hello Sandy! There's always a feeling. Feeling is another word for form. As you said, when there is no personal thinking going on, you're left with a lovely feeling. Perhaps another way to describe this feeling iks a "feeling of nothing," and that's what we're looking for. It's also known as "the one thought we're looking for is the state of no thought."

I love the needle/haystack analogy at 36:00. Everything in the world of form is an innocent, temporary solution, a band-aid. "Tapping, willpower, technique..."... medication, alcohol, recreational drugs, shopping, gambling, etc. etc. etc... all in search of a needle that doesn't exist. The needle is in the here and now! Thank you Brett for your calm, clear explanation! ❤

I’ve recently come across George Pransky’s book. I must say it is helping me with my mental anxiety and intrusive thoughts which have completely encapsulated me for the last 10 years or so. I realise that the tons of self help and religious books I have read have done nothing for me except create more illusion. So I feel over that - which is helpful. My problem however is one which I can’t “unthink” my way out of. I have an injury which causes pain. It’s likely to cause pain for the rest of my days however I don’t necessarily accept that as truth - but the 3 principles do not really touch upon physical pain. Of course I know that it is my thoughts causing the pain BUT if you do have a physical cause as I do, then how to stop that vicious circle is something I don’t see as possible at this moment. Not unless the physical cause is removed. Thoughts on this please. Thank you.

Yes, it is formless. It has no form. Yet, we're all "in it." Indeed, we can't be "out of Mind" either! There is only the "inside of Mind," and the "outside of Mind" doesn't exist.

oh my goodness. this is so, so helpful! I agree that this is the best description! Thank you! I have sometimes or even often a very clear feeling of the formless - it's peace and beauty - a timeless beingness prior to thought- but i was really unclear about what was trying to be said with the 3 principles..This has helped hugely. Thank you so much Bret.

BRETT IS THE ONLY ONE TALKING ABOUT THE 3 PRINCIPLES____EVERYONE ELSE IS FULL OF SHIT (not really but as far as having an impact and being so clear____ everyone else is full of shit....but not really....just what I feel in the moment) . YOU TAKE ALL THE "HEAVYWEIGHTS" OF THE 3P COMMUNITY AND THEY ARE ALL FULL OF SHIT (except for maybe linda pransky) BUT THE REST....FULL OF IT. THEY ALL NEED TO TAKE THE LEAD OF THIS HUMBLE AND WISE MAN. YOU TAKE ALL THE HEAVYWEIGHTS PUT TOGETHER AND THEY CAN'T CARRY THIS MAN'S JOCK STRAP.

Being a psychologist and new to the principles, some of what you were saying kinda rubbed me the wrong way. My impression of the three principles was that it is inherently a non-pathologizing understanding of the mind, just like IFS or other more spiritually oriented ideas (i have yet to really investigate what they think of each other), but your redefinition of mental health simply seemed to shift the definition of what is healthy and unhealthy to other states of mind - even claming that being happy can be a sign of unhealth if it does not co-occur with the insight that your happiness is being created from your own mind and not outside circumstances - instead of trying to get rid of the notion that "sick" and "healthy" are labels that can apply to the mind altogether. Or rather, it seems as if you are trying to do these, at least to me, contradictory moves at the same time. "You can be depressed for half a year and still nothing is wrong with you", but "if you do not understand and are constantly aware of the fact that your experience is being created, you are unhealthy"? That idea seems to simply put a lot of new pressure on you, which is the opposite of what i feel the three principles are trying to do. In my short experience learning about them, they seem to simply tell you as you say, "you are not in a rush". You can feel depressed for half a year, but at any moment you can realize that all your negative emotions stem from your thoughts, and discover the calm and clarity lying right underneath your uncomfortable, suffering experience, and that baseline will be just as untouched and acessible as half a year ago. You are never "sick" or "healthy", you just suffer sometimes, and suffer unnecessesarily. And realizing that you can imply let go of your thoughts will help you not suffer, because your mind is intrinsically ok, cool, calm and collected, right underneath it all. Now, I don't know if I've misunderstood, and I would love some comments and corrections. But to me, the principles are helpful in their non-pathologizing and very simple nature. I don't know how they have been able to help people with a lot of anxiety, ocd, psychotic or manic experiences, who perhaps have a hard time letting go of their thoughts, even though they come to believe that their experience is being created and that they are fundamentally ok, but i have a feeling at this point that methods that go into deeper psychological exploration of the experiences of the mind such as thoughts and emotions still have a lot to say. I don't know what the principles think of where thoughts come from. They seem to not care, from what I've heard. But from my experience, thoughts can stop being intrusive and become more helpful, rather than harmful, if the part of you that is thinking them is helped and healed. Now, this must be done from a position of calm and compassion, which can be found using the principles, perhaps, but to me, the principles seem to be lacking in therapeutic methodology, and is not helped by staying within a pathologizing paradigm. Please correct me if I've misunderstood something! Thanks for the vid

Yeah, I hear you. The metaphor used in this presentation left a lot of room for error - as if to imply that there is something "wrong" with you when you forget or don't know the principles. I agree, that's not a true conclusion at all. To me, it sounds like the right direction when, in your comments, you pointed to the "non-pathologizing" inherent in the 3 Principles metaphor. All the behaviors listed and labelled in the DSM - and every other behavior deemed healthy by doctors (and thus not in the DSM) all occur in the mind. But that isn't a revolutionary statement. The revolutionary statement is that all feeling is EXCLUSIVELY SOURCED from the mind as well - and there are NO OTHER CATALYSTS. It's a closed system. This would clash with the common assumption held by almost all professionals, that some parts or all of our experience stems from and is triggered by historical and environmental factors. As an idea, this "revolutionary" statement has little value. As a theory, it has even less value. It's useless to "tell" people to think this way about their feelings. But as an insight it's life altering. In other words, realizing, for yourself, the fundamental nature of the human mind - namely as something existing within and of an original infinite energy, that constricts itself into a defined package and consequently manifests as YOU (mind, body and soul) - becoming aware of what those words mean - THAT has huge value and powerful implications. The 3 Principles themselves are just a metaphor. Somebody (Syd Banks) realized something huge about the life and tried to share it as best he knew how - with a metaphor. It was incredibly helpful for my learning to not get distracted by the metaphor but instead to treat the metaphor as photograph. This can help one recognize the insight if and when it shows up. And in this understanding, it's always the same insight, again and again and again. An insight that peels us away from all kinds of egotistical notions that say, "our world, our life and our selves is a product of and natural reaction to a long list of contributing factors". It's an insight which realigns us with the fact that my mind, my reality, my feeling occurs utterly within its exclusive connection and reception of just a tiny sliver which emanates out of a supra-worldly origin. It's an insight which may express as: my mind is free. Maybe not free to be whatever I want, but certainly free to suddenly be anything, anywhere at any time. Life becomes more of an unfolding mystery rather than an elusive mastery. As an aside, it seems clear to me, that one can only share what they have. This understanding is next to impossible to share in professional practice unless it has first been insightly realized and integrated by the sharer - and there is no cheating. In conlcusion, I don't know if you misunderstood anything. That's for you to decide. All I can do is share a snapshot of what I can see in this little chat box and you'll find your own way. That sounds like perfection to me.

@@twerskiwellnessinstitute9708 Thanks a lot for your elaborate response. It helps to try and separate it from therapeutic methodology. Something that fascinates me with the principles is that it seems to be more like psychoeducation than a therapeutic approach. It holds that by simply understanding something fundamental about the mind, which you can come to understand by simply listening to someone trying to explain it, you can benefit greatly. Fascinating, and quite believable, to be honest. With many therapeutic approaches we try to do a lot of stuff with the mind/psyche/our experience without ever talking more fundamentally about what it actually is. However, in my process of starting to grasp what the principles are trying to get at - something I recognize must be experienced - I have had quite a bit of resistance. It feels like yet another offshoot from meditation traditions that try to tell me that I should pay no attention to my thoughts and feelings and simply let them go, which in practice can turn into a sort of combatting "go away, bad, bad thoughts" approach, instead of, say, a loving curiosity towards and recognition of what my thoughts might be trying to help me with. On your path towards trying to realize what the principles are a photograph of, what do you actually do within your mind? When you feel bad feelings, do you remind yourself that "these are stemming from some thoughts, that are being entirely created by me, not my surroundings", and then just relax your mind? How do you actually go about this in practice? Do you just keep reading stuff and watching youtube videos about it? I don't quite understand how I should go about this journey. Again, thanks for taking the time and sharing your thoughts. Cheers!

As Dicken Bettinger once put it, "telling someone to change their feeling by changing their thoughts is like trying to advise someone to push the raindrops back up into the sky if they don't like the rain." The message here is not an instruction about how to feel better or advice regarding how to banish unpleasant experiences. The direction is precisely a clarification, simplification and frankly - a rewriting of what the fundamental rules of psychology are. If we were to discover, for example, that the earth is round - it changes the game. Especially if you've spent most of your life trying to make sense of a flat earth. It's the same sort of thing in this discussion. We are taking a break from wrestling with our psychology and instead asking basic questions regarding how we understand and think about psychology at all. Questions like, what is feeling? Where do they come from? What is it made of? How does it work? What makes feelings change? We're hunting for principles - not theories or good ideas. We want natural, universal, constant facts that have NO exceptions - if we can find 'em. As you put it: "Something that fascinates me with the principles is that it seems to be more like psychoeducation than a therapeutic approach. It holds that by simply understanding something fundamental about the mind...you can benefit greatly." Like any emerging knowledge, if you sense there is something to learn here, keep exploring - until you lose interest or until your very own insight emerges from within your very personal connection to the wisdom of all wisdom.

@twerskiwellnessinstitute9708 6 ай бұрын

@henkkok9437 What could possibly act as both a cure AND a prevention? The answer must be more than another exhausting technique or exercise. The answer better not be just another unsatisfying psychological pretzel theory. The answer must be true. Really true. An answer that changes our mind regarding how we understand and think about psychology itself. So, the answer is, knowledge - clear, concise, simple facts regarding the psychological playing field of which we are all, universally game to. Knowledge CAN act as both a cure and a prevention.

Same for me, and optimum thinking would be that I will grasp this soon enough. At present, I am wondering, what the hell is wrong with me? This seems simple, so I must work my metaphorical fingers to the bones to figure it out. I am too busy to waste time on 'being,' so I will return to the grindstone of more unhelpful thoughts.
