In this video we examine the connection between psychological freedom and anxiety, and look at how we can embrace freedom and hence our "inner god".

*1938* July, *Baron Louis Nathaniel von Rothschild was seized at the airport in Aspern and imprisoned by Adolf Hitler.* So the 'Nazi's' didn't liberate their people from international parasites but were instead loved only because people were fearful of freedom? Do you think that people are free now? How long do you think your KZbin freedom will last if you stray too in favor of historical truth? _“Germanys unforgivable crime before WW2 was its attempt to loosen its economy out of the world trade system and to build up an own exchange system from which the world-finance couldnt profit anymore. …We butchered the wrong pig.” - Winston Churchill, `The Second World War' (Bern, 1960)_ _“Hitler and the German people didnt want this war. We didn’t answer Hitler’s various petitions for peace. Now we have to admit that he was right. Instead of a cooperation with Germany, which he had offered us, now stands the gigantic, imperialistic might of the Soviets. I feel ashamed to see how the same intentions which we accused Hitler of now are pursued under a different name.” - Sir Hartley Shawcross, British chief-accuser in Nuremberg_ _"The only thing Adolf Hitler could do in order to avoid the complete encircling of Germany was, indeed - in spite of the profound differences that had, from the beginning, opposed National Socialism and Marxism, - to turn to Russia. He had no choice." - Savitri Devi (ϟ The Lightning And The Sun)_ _"In losing Germany, Jewry lost a territory from which it exerted power. Therefore it was determined to reconquer it." - Louis Marschalko, The World Conquerors: The Real War Criminals_ _"When the National Socialists and their friends cry or whisper that this war is brought about by Jews, they are perfectly right." - The Jewish magazine Sentinel of Chicago (October 8th 1940)_ _"As has so often happened in history, Germany is the chief pivot of this formidable struggle. If our people and our State should fall victims to these oppressors of the nations, lusting after blood and money, the whole earth would become the prey of that hydra." - Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)_

Academy of Ideas hey, I just wanted to say I really appreciate all these videos, it’s a joy every time you upload. One comment I have though on the topic of the inner God. Would one not be very susceptible to conflating the inner god with the inner Worm? I mean, is there a clear distinction between the individual and the communal consensus? It may not just be a consensus of your physically close peers but your mental peers. At this point one would have to think long and hard to distinguish their logic from the logic borrowed or gained from others.

To show your true self along with unlocking your full potential, or to conform into that of which is comforting. Learn to be and let be, follow your true passion and it will lead you to true meaning. The road may be dark and difficult to navigate but, allow it to consume you. Upon arriving at your destination you will find fulfillment beyond imagination.

We will never be free, not even in death. Even to it we are slaves. The same is true in life, slaves to the default purpose of life, unable to change or escape it. Attempting to do so results in death. Though life and death are two starkly differents states of being, the are states of being nonethheless, and still, there is only one who is master over them both and by virtue, us. Our subjection is inescapable. As I age, I slowly and unfortunately arrive at the conclusion that only God is free. Truely free. He's the best canidate I can reason out, but what do I know... I'll keep these reasonings to myself. I fear they may be blasphemous. I do, though, recognize him as the Almighty.

Like jordan peterson said, take responsibility, easily said when taken under the oppression and control the the herd and mass collective which follows the tyrants. Although "No one is more hated he who speaks the truth" - Plato, that which stands out against the lack of common sense, morality and those that act sinfully. People are willfully imprisoned for the collective work to feel empowered as they are blinded, the sense of freedom makes then feel anxious when those which are free feel anxious in a realm of non-freedom, as those in marxist and socialist states have known they feel free when they are not, they feel free to not have freedom. The social fabric is continuing although their is a limit on the threads and how long they will last, everything turns back to it's founder and nature with time, nothing is everlasting and all good things come to an end. Which is why people need to be open, honest, truthful, make decisions no matter the risk and be hard at managing but offer more opportunity in leading, for which the hierarchy can exist for us all it is opportunity as long as individuality is not forfeited and relinquished or discarded. But in the end there will always be those which have lost their way, due to social pressure and order, the act of loss and path of empty subjugation into the machine of brainwashing and manipulating for the collective which profit the few and said to be for the many, those people need a way, need freedom and need discipline, religion too but knowledge and wisdom without restraints, although who is to tell us there is no manipulation from which allows us freedom, the cycle continues, everything is a cycle.

Everything a person wants is on the other side of fear, fear is what keeps a person from change. Fear of the unknown. We get comfortable with the situation at hand because we know what to expect from it because we've been in it for so long. Fear of not knowing weather it will get better or worse is what keeps a person at a stand still. It all has to do with fear.

[@jJust_NO_]

Idk all about these. Whenever I feel great love or at peace within myself, I feel inner contentment that there isn't any longing to take on the world or even think for a minute what my highest potential is. That state of being, when I sometimes feel it within my very core, is in of itself, perfection. There isn't any projection of I should be this or I should be that. It is a realization that I am enough in whichever way I currently am. And whenever the moment is lost, I feel the opposite. There occurs and presents all my insecurities like I need to prove myself or strive harder. Having experienced both states, I have a reference point to know which one is true and what ultimately the meaning of life is.

I resonate with you on this.

[@hokum4438]

_"The essence of the achievements of reason is a moving up of external things in order to imprint this knowledge on the soul. This same motion is set forth, in the will, which, as a result, likewise never attains rest. Thus, even the incomparable mystic who would separate from everything in order to abide in pure contemplation of god, strives for endless calm in god. He knows that this calm can only last moments, and that this goal can only be reached through the constantly renewed activity of the soul and its powers. Here Meister Eckhart shows himself to be superior to Indian wisdom, and recognises eternal rhythm as the precondition of all fruitfulness. From this theoretical insight he then draws practical conclusions for life. If the heart and the will seek what is eternal: This man seeks not repose; for no unrest disturbs him. This man stands well recorded with god because he accepts all things as divine, that is, better than they are in themselves! To this belongs diligence and a wakeful, truly effective awareness upon which the mind has to be based despite all things and people. Man cannot learn this by fleeing from the world." - Dr. Alfred Rosenberg, Myth of the 20th Century_ 👁 🙏

This explained so much. You desire something AND that which is undesirable is here at the same time. It's the two sides of the same coin, both sides have to be here in order for the equitable value to be realized. Heads is not more than tails and vice versa. You must face the undesirable (emotions) as much as you face the desired. Stop, drop and feel. Feel, sense, express and ask yourself intuitive questions in your moment to moment experience. Don't ask another, you're not there.

1:40 I discovered this notion on my own while intentionally getting too high and going out in public. I remember getting intense anxiety and paranoia like someone was about to attack me from behind. But I discovered that there was an initial excitement that triggered the fear. That's when I realized that before anything 'bad' happens we initially feel excitement then nearly instantly comes fear. We get so overtaken by the fear (because we let the worm dominate) that most of of don't even appreciate the excitement (God) that comes first. When you start to live through God you no longer let the worm dominate.

This channel and is its content is invaluable for me at the moment. I live in an environment where those few still around, say that they are there for me, and want me to confide my shortcomings or hangups to them, at anytime, without judgment.. also show the sign of having lost the tiniest smudge of respect for me anytime that I do, if I'm being truly honest. Though even if what I'm saying is neurotic, and is probably nonsense, in the end, its what my conscience is telling me, right here and now. Its almost like i've said too much.. ive spoken to much truth, and have been shown too vulnerable.. I mean trying to describe this swelling mess is difficult enough, and even if I have trouble articulating exactly what the problem is, doing my best, it feels as if its perceived as weakness from them everytime. I find you notice a change in people's demeanor of you for a while after.. until you come and clear it up in 'better spirits' over time. So I tend to keep it to keep things to my self more and more, just not speaking on whats under the surface, daily, every minute, every second.. the time is just flying by, here wasting life in stagnation, and I pretend like everything is 'going well.' Its should be okay to admit its not. Especially for males, I find we just go quietly into self imposed damnation.. never uttering a word, as our demon takes control of the wheel. Usually taking others along with us on the ride whether intentional or not.. Its just what guys do. It shouldn't have to be that way. This channel helps me find the language to better understand and describe these conflicts, and help those around me better understand themselves, if they truly do even give a damn anymore.. but, if necessary, I have the information to undergo the process of change on my own, with the knowledge that it's a path already well worn. That's comforting in a strange way when you seem so damned lost.. Maybe that's how it has to be anyways. Its just nice to return to a scribe of sorts every now and then, when we get a chance of breaking free from the haze, to remember these lessons passed down, knowing that others have gone through the same circumstances, and worse, much worse, and yet, they've still made it out on the other side in the end. Thank you for your time and energy, it means more than you know right now, and it comes not a second too soon 🙏 The timing almost seems spiritual sometimes 😇 I just dont know which God to thank anymore, the digital, or the divine??

There are paradoxes hidden within truths as well. One man's freedom is another's bondage. Those who believe they are the most just, carry the seeds of injustice. Freely choosing without knowledge of consequences can be fatal, like a leap of faith into the bad abyss. Freedom from happenstance, circumstance is not always optional. You may indeed learn from the wrong road taken, but you may not always recover from it. When you are born, you are already trapped in a larger womb, but trapped nonetheless sans the freedom to escape save for death.

I like how you gave a new perspective to something that has so many names *God/universe/life/consciousness/source* Inner worm is the fear that keeps us from reaching that state of serenity and bliss.

When I see a thumbs down. I know they are afraid or freedom and Love big government. But I dont condemn them, freedom is scary when you have a low opinion of oneself.

This hit me so hard, I'm tearing up.

Lately i've been thinking about getting old and how much I desire it. Because when you are old now one expects nothing from you, you don't need to rush anywhere, there's no ego pushing your agenda, you just don't care anymore. This video came and showed me the same from another perspective. I want to be free from freedom. I'm scared of all the possibilities. And age could become some kind of master, I guess?

[@atharvabhosale8471]

Yes it can

[@paulromey7762]

“The desire of freedom from freedom” -Michael Tsarion One of the best videos yet compadre, absolutely love this channel and the way information is presented here allows me to share with just about anyone without hesitation. Beautiful work 🌱

[@EnralicGaming]

God Emperor of Dune follows a character who is often referred to with a dual nature--those who follow him follow the man (the Lord) and those who do not call him the worm. The book follows him as he fights this duality. It's interesting that this is an archetype I didn't even know existed.

[@marksmellybell448]

Absolutely fantastic information and perspective

The moral masochism is extremely true and relatable . I have an habit to think when I'm relaxed and happy , about what would happen if my family died . Maybe my mind isn't allowing me to be happy

[@aster.5407]

iero butcovan you got it right, for me I seem to have the same problem/situation, my mind -for some reason- won’t allow me to be happy, calm. I’ve started looking in to it and i came across Dr.Gabor mate work and it helped me a lot, I advise you to search his name here in KZbin and start with his interview with Tim Farris .

[@diogenesthecynic1334]

@@aster.5407 thank you so much , i will look into
