OMG, you are right. Three days ago, I could not meditate because my thoughts kept rambling. Then yesterday, I heard a voice say, concentrate on your breath, don't force the meditation. I listened and then I started TRULY meditating. I'm so happy I listened.

[@compendiumyo3358]

90% of your thoughts are spirit including the higherself, too bad the 10% thats ego is so loud. The higherself is always love and positivity. The ego is always fear and negativity. Knowing this will help you discern the difference. There is no seperation between your physical self and the non physical higherself except we exist in the density of the physical and the higherself exists in the higher vibrational realms in the non physical. Namaste' This is an amazing channel keep up the amazing work!

[@brianfeeley6140]

Every night before sleep I ask my higher self and my spirit guides to help me to communicate with them... I also ask for help with remembering my dreams, going lucid in my dreams, and to help me to master OBE's all in order to communicate with them. So far... I feel like I've had a few instances (in my entire life) where I heard a voice (in my head) answering a question I posed. I also had a strange experience while going lucid where I was suddenly in my bed and being entangled with a physical entity... I could feel her moving the bed and snuggling next to me... I suddenly said (or heard said) "I banish thee" and it/she was gone. That's not a phrase I hear or use...so wonder if it was my higher self or a guide? Cheers!

[@bensmithreal]

This could really be anything. In terms of making decisions in life, it’s good to use reasoning and rationalise between the various inner voices (using the virtues to determine which is higher or lower). Other than this though, it’s not helpful to expect a verbal response from higher powers, people can easily confuse one voice with another, so it’s always better to use your reason.

[@Storm545]

I’m a new subscriber. Ben, thank you for helping me hear my higher self. I just needed to hear your words. I do meditation, and have noticed I am becoming very psychic, and intuitive. I know I’m on the right path, but it’s good to see your videos as they keep me moving forward . Thank you Ben 💚

[@dreamcreate116]

So well explained Ben. Thank you. There are other ways as well. Healing journeys propel us along the path also, if we choose to completely support our bodies. My journey has been with my body as my guru and my higher self to simply survive. I work with an intuitive healthcare practitioner and my body tells her where to place every acupuncture needle and what medicines are required. Plus more. I have contributed with searching further and working with mudras and mantras. When my body has an issue that cannot be solved by my practitioner she asks me what I know of and inevitably I always do because the communication has become stronger. To the point now that just before drifting into sleep I will receive a necessary message and it can be repeated as I am awakening. It's so natural and normal. Healing journeys take us deeper into truth and therefore our true nature. ❤ 🙏

[@seane.9937]

New subscriber. I'm an active meditator, I think it's a gift from God. A few years back I was feeling really depressed directly before my morning meditation. Once I became settled into myself and was meditating along, my higher self spoke. It said "you are highly loved. You have nothing to fear, all is well and will be well". My point is, if I wasn't going to meditate, no message from my higher self.

[@bensmithreal]

This is so great to hear! You are right, the higher self can often be heard / experienced more in those moments, especially since you chose to meditate despite feeling depressed. Thanks for sharing

[@stevebond8061]

[@docelky]

Wow I've always imagined the "higher self" as a separate part of me you can't access without meditation or prayer to receive it's insights. I think i heard you call it the "greater self" that gave me the image of myself as who i think i would be if it was someone i would look up to and want to be like, spiritually emotionally, physically and so on. I have always heard this voice i just never realized it. In turn i now think of the "lower self' as the "lesser self" and the voice of the ego and self indulgence. I feel more connected to my greater self than ever before because i know what it is. Thank you

[@yungprodigybeast1047]

One thing I've come to realize is that motivation doesn't stay long, for example you'd feel so motivated the night before but lack some in the morning but this isn't the role played by it, it's role was the start and discipline is what you should use in the morning

[@bensmithreal]

Absolutely 👏

[@Nshree]

Thank you 🙏

[@1invag]

I get up for work at 4am every morning. I'd have to be up at 2am to carry out that schedule lol I think my body would support me in my decision to get some extra sleep instead most days 😂 I know this to be true... Because I'm always bloody knackered haha. I don't wanna be a negative ninny but also this to me feels like excluding your "lower self" in favour of a "higher self" just seems abit off. I feel like everyone just constantly shitting on the lower self lol doesn't strike me as a particularly healthy balance. Team work makes the dream work. I feel like I should be sticking up for my lower self not beating him down. My higher self is telling me hammering my lower self is not the way 😂 cmere you big oaf gimmi some sugar. I'm not gonna make my ego a Scape goat, no one and nothing gets left behind while I'm on the clock

Ben nice to see a person from the uk talking about higher self and spirituality. Somehow it feels more relatable when someone is talking about this stuff with an accent and an approach that you can identify with. Thanks for sharing this. I also have a channel, but as you can see it’s all about motorcycles and adventure, however as with most people there’s another side. Just before lockdown a personal event lead me on a journey. I finally found Reiki and law of assumption. I’m so much more mindful about my own thoughts, words and feelings. Meditation is something I struggle with to be honest but it’s something I feel I need to incorporate. Thank you for this video .

[@bensmithreal]

Thank you, glad it was helpful! Lots more coming, so hopefully they Will give you the encouragement and guidance you’re looking for🙏

[@Galaxyofbrian]

Enjoyed listening Ben. I think you was spot on when you said we are always connected to higher self. For me that is spirit. The piece of us that is a part of the source. That we are a vessel for. I think the search for a connection is what ultimately switches that connection off. It's the lower self as you call it that wants validation.

I have found the better I start the day off aligning my intentions with actions, the easier it is.

Thanks Ben you answered a long standing question I had and have asked many entrepreneurs that I interviewed on a podcast I had, where I would ask them how can one go to bed all excited, motivated and inspired and wake up from a night of sleep and that fire be gone and replaced with fear and self doubt...Higher Self vs lower self. This also gave me an Ah Ha as to continually being present multiple times throughout the day and make sure I am living from my Higher Self rather than the default of going about my day as my lower self. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Ben as per Indian Vedic tradition we are the higher self always and it is referred to as Atman. The Ego Self is the body mind which believes it is their doer but is pure illusion. One has to meditate and become Aware of the Awareness on daily basis. Over a period of time we experience that we are pure awareness and mind body is an objects. 🙏

Thank you, I agree with you too🙏

@@bensmithreal I would like recommend a book Who Am I by the great sage Ramana Maharshi on the direct path for realising your true Self.

[@colmrooney414]

the idea is that the negative some how went away, but really it was transformed by you into positive action. simply connect to yourself, that's enough oh and I figured something out about cold showers. we don't enjoy them because of resistance. its meant to be fun, like a child playing in the sea. I don't think its a necessary key to life, but asking what's blocking my ability to have fun may be helpful...also, the human body naturally has resistance, to help it survive and find homeostasis. we might also listen to the message, whether we take control or not. also I resonated with the comments and appreciate your story.

In the Summer 2022, we all had a Guide put in place to be the direct connection to our Higher Self, to lower the risk of attacks from outside entities and energies. We only need to connect to our Crown Chakra and tell our Guide to connect with our Higher Self. Most people have 7 Guides in place.

[@marsharice4799]

I was asking the question today, “how can I tell the difference between my higher self and mind chatter” ? It is no coincidence I found your video just now. I haven’t suffered from mind chatter in a while. I’m under significant stress and it feels things are piling up one thing on top another. My soul has been telling me to meditate for a while now. I feel so grumpy and discontent lately because I’m not listening, which means I’m not in alignment. Time to listen. Thank you for this video 🙏

[@bensmithreal]

Sounds like the video came at the right time for you 😌

[@maximeleblanc7828]

Absolutely inspiring message! Another way to put it is there’s always that part of us who wants the happiness now and the end of suffering now so we engaged in bad behavior (food, drugs etc) to feel better now even thought it is more or less like a loan you’re doing with the mafia, meaning : the price to give back will always be too much. And then there is the calm sage looking ahead and asking now to be in discomfort so you won’t have to be your own slave in the future. That is a constant battle for me and I’m thinking about it EVERY day…

Absolutely 🙌

Hi Ben, recently I have started this journey my work mate interested me about the topic by talking about seeing purple. Sadly he has left my workplace would you be able to give some guidance on this. I have started meditating listening to frequencies which is supposed to clear the pineal glands, I feel as though I have had slight breakthroughs where i saw vivid colours and after both of my breakthroughs I fixed multiple issues going on in my life. Thanks for putting in the work on this channel and teaching us about this.

[@bensmithreal]

This is great to hear man. Colours may come and go, this is a good sign that you are finding depth. Don’t get attached too them though. Whatever experiences you have, keep on pushing. Often, colours are associated with the chakras. You can observe the colour of its stable enough in your mind. Best of luck!

[@badmotorbreath5206]

Thanks Ben, I just subscribed to your channel. Really enjoyed your simple but genuine discussion on the higher self. I also found it consistent with my experience over the past 5 years or so on my spiritual journey. I’m also assuming your reference to lower self is equivalent to the ego? 🙏

[@thaotaylor6669]

Can I ask one question how do you know that when you mediate, you are mediate to your high self?

[@franceslock1662]

Isn’t the higher self on a higher plain, with a different paradigm and way of being? What you describe as the higher self doesn’t resemble what I’ve encountered when I’ve encountered my higher self. When you encounter your higher self it’s shocking because your higher self’s perspectives are so elevated, evolved, more sophisticated and intelligent than your current level of experience and being in the world. It’s got nothing to do with what you eat for breakfast; it blows your mind when you meet your higher self.

[@bensmithreal]

It is on a higher plane, but in order to experience that plane, you’ve got to get this plane in order. Hence, the decisions you make here are very important.

[@lokosdanveros]

Fear and doubt yes but also very sleepy 😅

[@analuciavieira5959]

Hello, Ben. I have a question. Will I be able to effectively help people by bringing useful knowledge from the astral plane once I manage to get there? Or Will I be limited to being just another "spiritual teacher"? The Course in Miracles, which I took 2 years ago hasn't manifested yet! Now my nephew is severely sick, and I he doesn't seem to have much time to spare. Please, forgive me if my question sounds rude to you! Thanks for sharing your experience!❤

[@bensmithreal]

Hello. If I’m honest - no, not really. You will be able to help people much more through prayer and working on your own self-realisation. Prayer is extremely powerful. The higher planes are useful for your self-realisation, but the astral is not particularly useful. Hope this helps🙏

[@bensmithreal]

You can achieve total god-realisation if you aspire for it strongly enough, yes. There really aren’t limits to this, only the ones we impose on ourselves. With regards to super-natural abilities that come with it (also known as ‘Siddhi’ powers) they should really not be used. Siddhi powers are considered a test on the road to the final truth. When you attain the final truth you become the components of everything in existence. If you strive only for siddhi powers, you are underselling yourself and opening the door to the ego.
