[@gazster]

what's next is what i was thinking, from where you have that new level of awareness and like the whistle blowers say have more discernment and sovereignty. see some people come away from new age and 'from new age to christian' testimony videos but i don't think that's the right idea lol as it's limiting and fear based ideas in religion so i'm not so sure there, but like with tony sayers he has lot's of clients that are very badly wounded from the new age experiences and i oftern wonder what they'll do next as they are in this recovery phrase.

I just had a really eye opening conversation with a friend the other day. I'm into spirituality, while she's not, but she's very open minded and cares a lot about humanity and works with people. And i realized how much new age spirituality made me selfish, and how true spirituality isnt about you. Its about coming back to what is, and creating peace for everyone, not just yourself🙏

[@unicorndelicious]

This is simply not true. There is an entire spiritual tradition of the lefthand path that is about self sovereignty and personal divinity. Obedience and 'the collective" and "service" is not the only spirituality. And I don't owe anyone my servitude. I am so TIRED of everyone pushing "service" onto all of us and "collectivism." I will never surrender my individual ego.

[@jordanrock3494]

I've known humanitarians who were ungodly in multiple ways, so please spare us. Most people can't even spiritually help themselves, let alone others and their earthly needs. Like taking advice about your soul from a tech bro who couldn't make God properly fit into his work for the devil, so it makes you bad. 😂

[@hannadeckert6491]

@@unicorndelicious i guess what i was meaning was that it's not all about the ego. Because while it is definitely a real thing, and i dont think it's possible to get rid of it, nor is it good to try to be rid of it. I think it's an important tool and part of this experience. But i also think its important so see beyond it, what's really underneath, which is the same in all of us. Consciousness. The one. And i think serving others or the collective is important (just as important as serving ourselves of course) because that same divinity lies within us all. As I'm writing this I'm having a really interesting thought. I wonder if since the same divinity lies within us all, and we all have our own unique egos, if part of the purpose of the ego is to test unconditional love🤔. Just my ramblings!

[@hannadeckert6491]

@@unicorndelicious though im not versed in the lefthand path, my thought on collectivism is that the capitalist individualistic society we live in is pretty harmful to us. Long before when people lived in smaller groups was collectivism or mutualism, which was beneficial to people.

Wow, in a time of extreme narcissism and New Ageism you are so brave.

[@Dll5749]

I went through a similar thing “my partner” who got me deep into this showed no empathy when i had a bad day. Made me apologize to her for ruining her mood and “vibrations”. My whole perspective shifted and I immediately saw that this was all fake and extremely egotistical. I had fallen into the egoistic side too and apologized for any of my wrong doings to those around me. Since then i blocked her and all of this bs. And now i welcome bad days. At the end of the day we live in a bipolar world. Light or dark, up or down, left or right, hot or cold, good or bad, true or false, yes or no. And i welcome saying no, and processing the negative emotions. If you only touch one side you, how will you appreciate the other? How will you grow? This is the only real way. We cannot only have one side of the spectrum. They are there for a reason. Wish you all well 🙏🏼

[@alexmousley7213]

That is true wisdom- actaully, it's close to Buddism, from what I understand of it- it's about acceptance, once you accept what IS you can move past it to where you'd like to be, but not before.

They reminded themselves constantly how lucky they were to be alive.

[@HolyMoly432]

I’m a former Scientologist. Been watching videos like this and when people describe what New Age spirituality is - it sounds a lot like Scientology! Being “at cause” over people and situations and the “physical universe” - even making time “as-is” (stop - so you can get somewhere on time). “Pulling in” bad things or sickness that happen to you (karma). At the higher levels becoming God-like. So glad I got out!

[@sunnyday6465]

Thank you for this. I had to leave behind these 'new age' people and groups of people. To me it is a training ground for narcissism. Some of these groups were even cult like and tried to get me back. They had plans for me. They were wanting to manifest me to be as they wanted me to be even to the point of match making. I have always been an optimistic thinker but real spirituality is as you describe in your video. I did not realize what new age was really about until I found people trying to take my will away from to please their own agendas. Humility and real community are far more satisfying.v

[@selenem3384]

I had to saay goodbye to my yoga teacher / "friend" because I could not compete with her other LOVE AND LIGHT NEW AGE PSYCHIC FRIENDS who enabled her in her toxic behaviour.

I followed the New Age movement for about 20 years. There came a time in my life when I needed compassion and support yet all my "friends" ran away because they were scared my mood rubbed off on them. The scales fell off of my eyes instantly. There are a lot of good principles but the love is missing. Any movement without compassion is not very spiritual at all

It's quite literally like being in an abusive relationship, with the goal-post moving, gaslighting, emotional suppression, etc. It's completely unfalsifiable. I spent a year trying to do so. The people who believe it, have no sympathy or regard for your efforts; they will happily throw you under the bus to maintain their world-view.

[@Taliemiller]

Brava 🎉 I think it’s important to separate vibration, the law of attraction and the science behind belief. But any energy used towards the small “self” only, will amplify the ego mind and not the spiritual BIG S self, as they say in psychology.

[@pameti.dragoblago]

yes, as far as i'm concerned, the law of attraction failed when i was trying to figure out how i attracted war in my country - and all other crap i had no control over. total BS. as for esther, i tried to listen to her several times and was enraged each time - can't quite remember why but it was something about how she was treating people in the audience who dared to ask a question. i found her disgusting. the law of attraction - as used in new age - breeds little egotistical narcissists - who, in all their 'spirituality' care about nothing else but how to personally benefit - in materialistic way, which, btw, is definition of satanism. one think to note for all new-agers out there - 'new age' is luciferian .... religion? no more and no less. do your research. start with lucis trust. as for the actual 'law of attraction', it is one of the hermetic principles apparently - nothing to do with new age. the best interpretation of the LoA i've come across so far is that of Mark Passio, former satanist.

In my opinion, at least. I live in LA and I’ve been to many festivals, I know the crowd and the belief systems! They sure do hold all the secrets to life 😂. Actually some of them are very genuine and kind and others are much more egotistical, the opposite of losing your ego which is supposed to be part of the woo-woo curriculum They kind of co-opted meditation, yoga, deep breathing, etc but none of those things need to have any greater cosmic whatever to be amazing in and of themselves!

Great insight! My preference is the physics of what's happening in this energetic shift, not the new age spiritual disciplines to abide by which is how it comes across, that you must live by raising your vibes and watch what you say and be always loving without fault.

When it comes down to it. the occult, new age, and everything else like that always blow the ego way out of proportion. Religion tends to focus on self-deprivation. It's common for people to polarize from one to the other.

[@selenem3384]

😂😂😂have you been to church, did you really look at the cult of organized religion? There are just as many narcissists in churches than in new age "spiritual" cults. I think any religion or movement that makes you believe you are better than others is a recipe for indulging the ego too much and making excuses for it.

[@OhhhhhhhBugger]

@@selenem3384 Not really focused on "church" per se, just religious teachings that all say to abandon ego and needs of self. Neither Jesus or Buddha were known narcissists if the literature is to be believed. However, there are many known modern cult leaders who had very self-centered goals. More of a generalized statement. Honestly though, I am only interested in finding true self, and pure truth in general.

Amen. Exactly what I have learnt as well. Narcissism and disocciation is the end result when you regard yourself as the master of the universe (God). Emotional invalidation is a massive tool that Satan uses in this space... in the name of "positivity" and "like attracts like". Surprisingly, denying your actual feelings and experience does not lead to more peace, but less. It's true you may achieve some wordly "success". but at what cost? gain the world and lose your soul. You miss out on the life God had planned for you and connecting with the source of love...God.

[@enock83]

So you're still endorsing the law of attraction after he just told you the law of attraction is what was ruining him? He let his ineffective new ageism go and actually created with his hands, deeds, words and thoughts what he desired. This is not law of attraction or psychological manifestation, it's just common sense behavior. You want some apples plant an apple seed and water it. Don't mediate and try to match the vibrational signature of an apple in your minds eye and expect to have apples soon. This way truly "manifests" what you desire and the other new age "manifesting" route is just masturbation and erecting the self as some sort of deity that controls the flow of fate and objects and others. The world does not not acquiesce to your thought process and desire. Thats delusion. Only your inner world adheres to your thoughts and fall to far into the mire of your thoughts and mental breakdown will ensue. It's an ineffective way of thinking.

[@Jinstarro]

The law of attraction always works like Gravity. Just these new age Ego narcissists focus on Ego, money and high vibration, while completely ignoring the fact, that it does not attract what you want, but who you are. That IS inckuding all surpressed emotions, that you are supposedly not to feel anymore. Ironically that creates resistance and to manifest successfully you actually have to acknowledge the bad emotions as well, let go of control and trust.

Im so sorry for you, it did the opposite for me. "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."

By understanding the frequencies of these vibrations, we can unlock the secrets of the universe and harness its power.

There is truth to it. However the subconscious is the key, which can be worked with, but not so simple. Also we are not responsible for the world around us... only how we react to it. My opinion

[@shimrrashai-rc8fq]

The irony is that too much spirituality has become too worldly, and I think that's the core of the problem. Where are those seeking to use the "law of attraction" as a basis to attract and foster more compassion, giving, etc. in the world? No.... it's all about MONEY MONEY MONEY, the exact thing Jesus and other classical spiritual teachers preached and even agitated against. Also, I generally think "guru" relationships are no different than church pastor relationships. It's still you having someone else be your tyrant, even if an "elective" tyrant.

[@vasantvasant-o9r]

indeed

[@SirWritesalot-z3p]

Guru relationships are about worshipping the guru as God. Pastors job is to teach the word of God. They are not God themselves. They are just like the rest of us; sinners in need of a saviour. If they are a good pastor they will teach well. But they are still just a human being who also needs Jesus's gift of salvation. If you worship people you will be disappointed every time, and led astray. Worship yourself and become an egomaniac. God alone is to be worshipped.

[@Awakenwisdom108]

Many people are taking these suggestion from spiritual influencers to be litteratur and not making a discernment if weather it can help them or not, so some of the practices can produce a by product such as spiritual by passing

[@JustinBrownVids]

Yep it's true

[@dreamsalamander]

Personally i think there's certain ppl who created this LOA movement, and when that aged real quick, they created the Qanon pleaedians and reptilians lore, all to rope in religious outliers into a certain system they need to keep running. For most 'normal' ppl, they feed them their political take on mainstream religion; for those outliers who arent into that, they craft different versions of new age lore.

[@angelcitystudio]

I was led down this path as well but it was long before it became an internet grift and a political movement. Now I believe in nothing. Just waiting to die. Hoping to have some fun along the way. Travel. Love my family and my dogs. Play in the garden.

[@raindrop9675]

First I thaught they were nice people and some of them really are. But after a while I found out, that it is jard to deal with them. Hardly ever met people who pretent to be loving, humble, thankful and always balanced but in fact they are selfcentred (even selfobsessed), selfrightous and they are not contented when the world not evolves around them. Never met people who talk nonstop about love while beeing so uninterested in others and easly irritated by the slightest critisim against them. Then you are an energy vampire that is a danger to them. And real discusdions about their "religion" is not possible, because only they know all the truth and all rules of the universe...and they are blessed. Some are so weird tjat they have no problem to deny your existence, because they are one with god...tjey are god and they are in general everything is their mirror. One of them said: Act like you want be treated, because there are no others. In fact they are as much human as all the others with all good and bad and all imperfect weaknesses in character. But what is a human, when you can be Osiris or a highly incarnated starseed from.... no clue from where exacly. It is all about them....and they will never really help you. Even suicide: Oh.... he fought against his shaddows and could take ot anymore. So what...it was his decision. Dont ne sad....hes on the jorney know. Absolutely coldhearted towards others.

[@Laurent402]

Thank you!

[@rtarz5191]

It wasn't "new age spiritualty." It was your ego that got a hold of it. A teacher once warned, "Don't spiritulize your ego." A trap that most of us gets trapped in......for a while anyway.

[@axelmont]

Excellent video. But I would add something. When you say that you were "approaching new age spirituality in completely the wrong way", I'd beg to differ. New age spirituality is in fact intended to be approached like that, all the while pretending to be "holier than thou". The culture around the new age is chock-full of consumerism, virtue signaling, deception, exploitation, lack of social/material awareness and extremely individualistic (if not outright supremacist) ideologies. Even with the best of intentions, it's hard not to turn into a weird and nasty person following these sort of paths. And just in case, I'm not advocating for any old-school religion either. I spent the biggest part of my 20s delving into new age nonsense. Now I'm getting out of it and oh boy... we thought we had awakened but we were in the deepest of slumbers. So much insidious bullshit.

[@kristelmeerens28]

I wonder after experiencing all of this, which I can relate to, what would happen when you read the bible now... I believe this book will blow you away.....

[@Spock_Rogers]

I was religious until I read the story of Lot's daughters.

[@jadechiller]

@@Spock_Rogers yes, Lot's daughters got their father drunk to have sex with him to get children. Ew! and there are a lot of other stories that are very disturbing. Like why would God take away all of Job's son's and daughters, all of his possessions, just to prove a point? And God demanding that Abraham sacrifice his son so that He will know that Abraham really loved Him. C'mon! If He is almighty, of course He already knows what's in Abraham's heart. And why would He be so narcissistic to demand this kind of absurd sacrifice? What would we think of a person who made this kind of demand? Imagine a grandmother saying to her daughter: "You need to kill your son to prove to me your love." There are many parts of the Bible that are just sick!

[@Lailaelmo]

I’m so glad Allah saved me from new age . It ruined my life . I lost myself completely and I’m now recovering mentally from all.

[@tajamulislam3879]

Dear we Muslims should be least impressed with new age movement which is against our religion .

[@Lailaelmo]

@@tajamulislam3879 yes I know. But unfortunately I fell victim to to it. Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes.

What are your thoughts on Neville Goddard? Love your channel and content. Keep it coming!

[@JustinBrownVids]

Haven't heard of him to be honest

[@kellyclarkson2439]

@A lexis I'm sorry to hear that. It's dangerous what Neville teaches that basically everything good or bad that happens to us is a result of our imagination.

[@jennifersmykala1108]

In my opinion, that's a crime. I have written to several companies not to hold these seminars and have received approval. Because there are also people who are ill What they don't know about, they jump off the balcony and I also said in hospitals that I don't do what I've learned when making a diagnosis. I didn't care if the clinic then k resigns

[@laurielowery9011]

What?

[@newworldwellness7007]

Interesting story, and I respect your journey but you seem to be using the term ‘narcissist’ as an erroneous gesture, to what you became as a temporary personality. Your personality that you were describing, is not the personality of a narcissist, according to the DSM, who coined the term narcissism. Narcissism is an incurable personality disorder whereas the person exhibits no ability for empathy, or understanding of anything relating to self-awareness. Esther hicks or any New Age teaching could never make someone into a narcissist. Narcissism is created by a lifelong survival tactic, mostly in the face of trauma or lack of love and empathy or learned response from early childhood. You making this video is proof itself that you are not a narcissist, unless you are purposely using it to manipulate with, and could care less about anyone’s spiritual development. This doesn’t seem to be the case in my opinion. You seem to have been humbled and truly want to help others. This is not the case in true narcissistic personality disorder, you can never awaken from that disorder. Maybe you are using the term loosely here, but to anyone who truly is a survivor of narcissistic abuse it could be insulting. This comment is not to bash you, I find your story inspiring, the title is just a little misleading. With love ✨🙏🏻✨

[@JustinBrownVids]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm definitely using narcissist as a descriptive term, not in terms of self-diagnosis.

[@KornFanaticBeck]

Beautifully articulate and enlightened comment!

[@kevinjanghj]

I think that he probably meant 'egotist' instead of 'narcissist'. Still, that said, the video also makes for a good critique of the extreme permissiveness in the New Age spirituality movement, where distinctions between right and wrong don't exist.

[@rickymoody3239]

Narcissists can be treated, if there is a will to heal. Psychopaths can’t. Not all narcissists evolve that far. I worked in forensic behavioral health for decades.

[@tails99]

@@rickymoody3239 safer for people who deal with narcissists to believe they don't change and get away from them. Many lose for believing they can compared to psychopaths

[@SirWritesalot-z3p]

Speaks volumes that the LOA is all about "pretending" to get what you want. PRETEND to be happy, rich, successful, kind, patient. On the other hand. With Jesus, you acknowledge the truth, that you need help. If we are fathful to God, he is faithful to us. Read his word, the bible. It has answers to your problems. pray to Him, he will be with you.

[@theravenmagick]

At least you’re aware! I’m always mindblown at how much those preaching “love & light” are the most narcissistic people on Earth. They’re “all one” yet hate the normies lol 😂 what a joke

[@kaleidoscopesthirdeyevizions]

It's a playground for the God complex or the chosen one starseed complex which sorta turns into narcissism or vanity. Not hating on all of as I was working in it for years but im starting to wake myself up outta of it because I'm not liking what I'm seeing now .

[@damianmalka3834]

It's a fake highly processed version of real spirituality for those who follow the leader. There are warning signs at the start of that slippery slope. A good book to read on the topic is the Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow by Constance Cumbey.

[@sav421]

I would disagree that the law of attraction turned you into a narcissist or narcissistic. The law of attraction just probably enhanced your own narcissistic traits that were already there that you haven't worked through in therapy or in your own personal growth.

[@wendellst2266]

Kudos to you for your vulnerability and your humility… and for caring enough for others to do this video! Have you listened to Russell Brand’s testimony? …. Join the rest of us who have found the emptiness and self centeredness of the New Age counterfeit… and found the real answer in Jesus Christ! Not the religious “Jesus” …. the real Jesus! Look past the religious personalities that supposedly speak for him. There are many real, educated, sincere folks like yourself….that kept seeking till “he found us!”

[@beasmarty]

hahaha, this is a++ problem starts when thoughts/emotions get categorized as "good vs bad" incredibly subtle and insidious, but vultures nonetheless

[@opticalman6417]

someone finding you attractive doesn't allways =sex a relationship your soul has already decided upon with other souls in spirit what you are going to both experience down here on earth with each other and you have done this with many souls if its not in your divine plan your not getting that women simple as if you have choose them in sprit to have sex with or have a relationship with then sure it will happen

1 Timothy 2:5-6 (NIV): “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.” Have faith in Christ and be born again in the image of Christ! Jesus is real! to this I stand as witness and testify!" His eternal kingdom of heaven is even rigth now! Amen Amen AMen AMen Halleluyah AMen! 1 John 5:11-12 (NIV): “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

I have been attracting things for the last 30 years, it works great for me, so maybe you are just doing it wrong, or with the wrong kind of mindset, you have to do it without the ego in mind, and without selfish intentions.

Tough to wake up and realize that "Me", that whole self-centered, self-referential habit of thinking, is a total fake and a huge waste of life.

Did spirituality forced you to obsess with your business? Hear yourself, you used spirituality for personal gains to please your ego. It seems that you met your shadow and didn't like the experience. No one forced you bud.

You completely missed the whole mark of spirituality and took one small aspect of it. You were never spiritual, you were only using the LOA. With spirituality there is no "me", lol 😂

I agree with you, I had missed the point and need to take the "self" out of it.
