Thankyou...that was fantastic, so simple, clear and concise. It's validating for me, as I have touched on what you speak, but have not been able to sustain as yet. Hoping overtime, that these feelings of peace will become more sustainable.

[@andrewortiz5797]

Totally Resonate with this video and The Story of Adam and eve eating from The Tree of Knowledge of good and evil has such great Wisdom, it's so obvious. Anxiety sucks but then again, it's kind of like a teacher.

[@stacielivinthedream8510]

OMG, I'm so glad I listened to this video a second time because I got so much more this time! I thought I understood the first time, but damn Luke, you are on fire with the most incredible information bombs!!! I've been binge watching your videos today! You better make more cause I'm gonna run out soon! 😂 Actually, I'm rewatching many of them since I listen while working, so I miss bits! Thank you, Luke! ♥️ 👣🌻❤️‍🔥🌞💃🥀💥

[@Knight5506]

Another great video, Luke! I appreciate you discussing your story with us and I now have a better understanding of how I should be working on my own inner thoughts. This was very insightful; I look forward to the next video and your book!

[@Luketherapy]

Thankyou!

[@CalcioClassics1992]

Ive had awakenings during all of my deep depressions. It's never stopped them coming but I can relate to them im a different way. Thank you for this heartfelt video. You have a nice engaging manor.

Very true, yet in this person's experience the stored trauma in the body can be so viscerally powerful that it can be very difficult to stay with this realization. Using this pre-verbal ego formation (pain body), thought latches on and continues its attachment, particularly to regret. Having a non-dual realization, yet still remaining trapped in a sense of separation, is like standing outside of the Garden of Eden and being held from walking through the gate by an imaginary chain. That is exquisitely painful soul agony. There's unfortunately no way around that Hell realm but by processing and staying present with the painful clinging in the somato-emotional body - fortunately over the last couple of decades there has been more understanding of this stored trauma and ways of working with it. It's often an important missing puzzle piece (Scott Kiloby does excellent work on this). Ironically this missing piece got in the way of awakening decades ago, in this person's case, and the longer it takes the more the ego has regret stories to attach to that have to be let go of.

I've absolutely experienced this myself as someone who's working to overcome an anxiety disorder. For me this feeling of separation, oneness, presence, only comes fleetingly. I know chasing a certain feeling is going to lead to a sense of disappointment but how do we hold onto this feeling of presence and not perpetually slide back into that habitual mode of analysis? ❤️

[@andrewortiz5797]

By letting go of that whole story of everything you just mentioned. Your mind is still seeking for Something you already have. You already have it, so don't fret. Your already in a State of Oneness whether you feel It or not. The mind is making too much noise. Just Be Still.

[@DonaldLandisJr]

Please I need all the help you can give me please

[@susanhandel]

Second video i've watched of yours Very helpful again

[@toska1192]

Wow this is awesome Luke, You are the observer of your own life :)

[@Luketherapy]

🤍🤍

[@meggillespie3671]

I love to hear about sudden awakening stories. I will be following to hear more from you. Thanks for sharing!

[@rheacrowe1344]

I absolutely love your content and look forward to reviewing all of them..I started at the 1st video you posted 2 yrs ago...I am now feeling hope..thank you

[@peterbowker7820]

This, Luke, as you probably know, is also Eckhart Tolle’s story. Saying ‘’I can’t live with myself any longer’’ told him there must be not one but two identities within him and, that was the moment he became enlightened. I had a perhaps similar experience when surrendering myself to Christ before a congregation of 800. Bliss followed but not for long. The joy left me when I left the church to continue my travels. Fifty years ago but feels like yesterday.

[@Luketherapy]

Yes :) interestingly I ordered the power of now on Amazon. It was to arrive in 5 days. The day after I ordered it was when I went through my awakening. The power of now arrived and told me exactly what happened to me. Thanks for sharing your story :) Christ is the saviour of us all 🙏🏼 wishing you Light and healing

[@jackiehamson3336]

is observing our thoughts or transcending really that simple?

[@Luketherapy]

It is! It can feel difficult of course, but it is so simple! (Some people it just takes time, but hopefully the seed has been planted)

[@susanhandel]

Thank you so much you are very clear and helpful

[@goych]

Don’t want to burst your bubble here Luke and I think you’ve got a great message and it’s your experience! However please check out some of the work being done by those who have sat with what you’ve realised. There’s more to it, and it revolves around emotions and how we repress them, peace and love ❤️❤️❤️

[@AwareNess444]

Hi luke what is your guard on trimming your beard?

[@julianmayorga8389]

Thank you

[@inesferrariselestrim6086]

Thank you for making simple to better understanding life.

Thank you 🦋💜

Truly life changing information here

[@ClubuldeEngleza]

Great video, Luke! Keep it up!

[@microlamp321]

I am very grateful to have found your insightful presentation. I feel blessed

[@ophelia2112]

Thank you. I'm currently in Flux and need help to ease my suffering from recent drastic change. I've been second guessing my choices and it's been causing problems in my life. The ideas you present seem to make sense and I will keep watching.

[@Luketherapy]

I'm so glad my vids are helping I hope they continue to do so!

[@directiontrades3733]

[@MysticCrossingsTarot]

I just came across your channel. I have done this many times in my life, it does not work for me. I have depression and pannick attacks, since I was a child. I lost a Son 13 years ago and the depression got worst. I am a psychic/medium also a practitioner with powerful intuitive gifts. I can help everyone expect myself. When you have a chemical imbalance, it just creeps in even in your happiness moments. This is just my opinion for myself. Great video bless it be.

[@sofiafantin5280]

I would love to be able to do that

[@jessicaberry2898]

Bit funny because I have watched your later vids and they are flipped in the opposite direction - the background and your face, how have you flipped things 🤔

[@jessicaberry2898]

Palpable joy in this sharing of your revelation 🙏 love it ❣️

[@kimherndon002]

I love how you break things down in the KISS method..Keep It Simple Stupid lol Seriously tho, I’ve listened to so many people trying to really grasp & understand how to watch our thoughts without dwelling on them & it seems so complicated! But you explain things in a very simplified manner and thank you for that! 🩷 Do you do any one on one’s if people have more questions or need a little more understanding on anything? Thanks again

[@smichael061]

Excellent description of why people suffer. The Adam and Eve story is revealing. It's told by religion that they disobeyed and had to be punished, but the way it's told here, it was just the introduction of thinking that caused feelings of guilt and shame and the suffering that follows. The story as told by religion creates the idea of sin and the the need for punishment if we don't do what we're told. The story itself is a means of implanting guilt and shame into the collective consciousness. It seems like a deliberate means to keep people ignorant of their true innocence. It seems the story itself is the cause of suffering by convincing a population that they are are guilty and deserve to be punished. Very revealing.

[@Luketherapy]

Yes, the 'sin' here replies to mere unconscious urges in the body. Consciousness is what frees you from these urges. I do not believe we are being punished, we did no wrong. It is a mere necessary step in human evolution. Jesus called this the 'birthing pains' of humanity. A mother gives birth and it is tremendously painful, however once it is over and she sees her baby it was worth it. When a human awakens to presence, the suffering dissolves like waking from a dream

[@amyst.pierre8734]

Did you have a meditation practice before this transcendance? Incredible that it just happened in the blink of an eye

[@Luketherapy]

Hey, no I had no meditation practice (although i had meditated before and studied psychology and CBT for years). Yes I do believe it happened to me in a very divine way

[@dinomontoya5870]

Thank you so much! I really needed this

[@Luketherapy]

You're welcome!

[@wendyleah1876]

Luke I’ve read and listened to some of these theories before but your presentation was very engaging. I found you encapsulated many of the concepts and put them forward in a way that resonated and made practical sense. Your sincerity showed through. What you say I believe to be true but it is so hard to develop this awareness and apply it every day. I suppose it’s developing a new habit. Takes time and persistence.

[@Luketherapy]

Thanks so much for your comment! Yes, it can feel difficult it sometimes takes time to grow. But watching these sorts of videos can accelerate the growth of awareness 🤍 I’m glad you enjoyed the vid :)

[@whitemike3075]

I suffer from depression and anxiety, I love these videos and have opened my eyes to how I perceive my thoughts.

[@Adubz84]

"he who loses his life shall find it. He who holds onto his life will lose it" ♥️

[@josephhinton6474]

Love this video and all your videos! It's really helped me to be more present and aware.

[@jenniferbuford3803]

Wow. The first video where someone describes my depression perfectly. I’ve been reading about others in certain situations, and it’s true for me, my negative emotions hit me before the thoughts. Any advice on how to deal with those initial doom and gloom waves that wash over me? My reaction to them are definitely negative, can I still use the same technique regardless of the order of thoughts vs feelings?

[@Luketherapy]

Such a good question! The trick is always being the awareness of what is happening. Can you observe what is going on in the body? Where is the sensation? Can you observe it? Then, can you realise you are the one observing the feeling, ie. you are not the feeling itself? The moment you can turn awareness into the emotion, you separate yourself from it, and thus allowing it to dissolve. (I plan to make a vid on this topic) 🤍

[@Luketherapy]

*turn awareness on to the emotion.

[@jenniferbuford3803]

@@Luketherapy so like “the feeling is happening to me, but it’s not me”. Something like that? It feels like an unknown force is attacking me, and then I react, with feelings of fear and feelings of powerlessness and hopelessness. Thanks so much for your replies and videos. They help me conceptualize my issues differently - years of medication and cbt have done nothing for me because my emotions come first - not my thoughts -

[@Luketherapy]

@@jenniferbuford3803 yes, just observe it. Instead of ‘I am sad’, it’s ‘I’m observing sadness in the body’. But you don’t say this of course, you just observe it. I’ve heard this a lot! Cbt is quite underdeveloped in my opinion, as it neglects the knowledge of eastern teachings. I will make a vid on handling emotions :)

[@goych]

Welcome Jennifer to the most wild ride of your life, I pray you don’t take as long as me to get the knack of it, my gut feeling is as we get more skilled in this we won’t have to endure it for as long! Phew

[@susanbuchholz3309]

I’ve been experiencing panic attacks over the last week, for the first time in my life. Watching this video is the first thing that has helped. Such a relief! Thank you.

[@Luketherapy]

I'm so glad it helped you! Keep well

[@shininglight666]

Your voice and just watching you speak is healing. You bring your peace to whoever you are around! I don't know how to transcend those thoughts but I know I can and will! Truly grateful

[@StephanieStClaire]

New subscriber. I found you on TikTok - thank you for putting yourself out there so that people could hear your liberating message! Love your background too - I used to live across the street from Central Park and recognize it :) Best to you Luke!

[@Luketherapy]

Thanks Stephanie, I’m glad you liked the video! Sending love 🤍

[@lawrencedistefano145]

You are so clear and speak on such comprehensible terms. I’m so pleased and comforted to have found you today. It feels so personal. Thank you, Luke. 🙏❤️🙏
