I'm so happy we have a modern day teacher like Aaron. Ive been studying this stuff for over a decade and he's the read deal.

[@QueueBone]

my aha moment was seeing that I'm addicted to aha moments

[@Bexatronica1]

"and even the a-ha moments can become another form of sense pleasure the mind craves" Thank you so much Aaron for pointing this out - I was blind to this! (but is this another a-ha moment?!)

[@UCLAdrummer]

I'm addicted to spiritual "A-ha" moments.

[@UCLAdrummer]

What an interesting paradox.

[@JackLinko]

Haha don’t get too in your head about it. Allow it to come and go

[@quantumuniverse5771]

It's so good to hear from people on a same frequency! Love from Sweden. Blessings 🥰😇

[@Lady_Yanni]

Amazing how you put this video out the same day I decided to tell myself that I will NOT give into my addiction (marijuana) to get in line with my journey. Thank you for this.

[@howeffingridiculous]

Aaron, you've made such a difference to my life and by extension the lives of my children, family, colleagues and friends. I offer this as feedback to empower your mission. Thankyou so much.

[@LucidLivingLL]

Stimulation is noise. Silence is awareness and awareness is silence. Meditation serves us to remind us we lie in silence while stimulation is what we grew up thinking we are. Practice non-sensory experiences so you can remind where life lies. Thank you Aaron -Much love from a growing KZbinr

[@MariahIsolated]

Yes !!! I was addicted to porn, it took me an entire year to get rid of my addiction 😩

[@Humbledone.]

Well done dude🙏❤

[@RandomKing_12]

Any tips?

[@sjcrews]

So true. I’m a Capricorn type A overachiever get shit done . Would never even sit down to eat always go go go. Now I’m totally different crave my alone time in stillness and get annoyed by whatever pulls me out of this peace. You can change !

[@pivotb5691]

I'm the exact opposite haha. Always loved being alone and resting and got overwhelmed very easily while working on projects. I realized that all of that inaction was mostly because of fear rather than genuine mindfulness and I've since taken some steps to reduce that fear and get more used to taking action. I use my type A capricorn father as inspiration!

[@LisaLywulf]

@@pivotb5691 funny I'm a capricorn and very similar to you. I do" get shit done "when it needs doing. But I did d a lot of time living in fear because of my past. It created a low self esteem. Maybe BECAUSE you had an over achiever a father you felt like you were in his shadow and NOW you're finally seeing him as an example. I'm happy that I've gone from being an over achievers a younger age to under achievers trauma hit to finding peace where I'm at. The world outside doesn't matter the kingdom of heaven as they say really is withen. Go withen darling your will see so many amazing things.

[@ChaseNewsome]

The belief that stimulation was the key to my joy was kind of leading me in the wrong direction. This has been on my mind but I wasn't sure how to even put it into words until I watched this. You speak so clearly, thank you for the insight!

[@merehuman5488]

“The mind won’t change on its own accord you need awareness” really struck a cord! Excellent question and answer :)

[@sevi4492]

Silence is the best medicine for the mind!!! I Love ❣️ how beautiful & simple you explain everything!! 🙏

[@DayOneLifeCoaching]

Yes 🙌 redirect yourself from those illusions. It takes constant application and repetition, but it works. Awareness and reconditioning.

[@isaiahmelvin8727]

This is an Aha moment for me. Next is the application. Thanks for the clarity

[@abby_stewart]

Same. Scrolling. Drinking. KZbin video clicked on, not really listening while searching for another video as I’m half listening to one already, 4-5 books on my night stand, cleaning when there’s nothing to do with my body, intrusive thoughts while laying in bed trying to fall asleep, always feeling like I need a project, a dream, a pursuit. Terrified of stillness like it’s a “waste” almost. Making the most of the moment or I feel like a failure.

[@richNfit4life]

Yes, that really was helpful. A couple times per week I come to this moment where I’m feeling bored, or unproductive, or even the other extreme of having been quite productive, and I want to distract by watching videos like KZbin, or P. If guilt and shame come up after that, I tap it out to remove it, but sometimes it returns. So, tapping has been a temporary measure. I felt I needed something more effective and more permanent and the process you described of awareness, breathe and focus was what I was moving toward, but taking the long way around. In other words, I don’t trust my own intuition and ability to tap into that collective reservoir of wisdom and heed its message. This is one way the ego gets me. This reminds me of that parent and child relationship that I think is important. When the child is feeling afraid, or bored, it’s the parent’s job to come in a take care of the child, to pick him/her/them up and bring him/her/them to that safe spiritual place, the center of the wheel, the hub, or home. If the parent does nothing, the child is left to fend for itself and things usually get worse, thus the moving further out on the wheel. Being a better parent is the challenge, right? Growing up, my parents had no healthy inner parents either, so they cannot be my go-to for how to deal with my feelings of fear, or boredom, or whatever. Thank you, Aaron. You’ve helped confirm for me to trust my own process and intuition. A lot of times I go to counseling which is helpful, but sometimes I leave more confused than before because what I got from the counselor was different than what my intuition was saying. Then I’d feel bad like defiant for not doing what I was told, or I would do what I was told by the counselor and get to no resolve and feel confused still. Damn, I do know how to screw myself over, yes? I’ll listen to this one video again, and then again as it hits the nail on the head. Merci beaucoup, mon ami!

[@helamandiaz6495]

In the sense of sitting with it you teach the mind that the sensual pleasures are yours to own, not the other way around.

[@SparklesofLight]

Amazing! Thanks you so much for such clarity, your words are beautiful pointers.

Aaron, thank you immensely for posting this video. I found your wheel analogy extremely helpful and insightful. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and wishing you continued success at contributing towards the improvement of the lives of your subscribers, here & beyond.

I take maybe day of no social media like on a Sunday and only use my phone for meditation i barely use much social media especially Facebook. I only use social media for my spiritual group mostly. I feel so complete lately i sit outside just listening to whats going on around me. I always relisten to Eckhart Tolle stillness speaks.

Very well explained. Completely agree. For me it really is about taking a higher perspective above the ego/mind and be able to see it for what it is without self judgment. “EGO! Step aside!”

[@christied425]

Resistance brings more of the same. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@larissaopenheart]

This is SO helpful, Aaron. I 'know' this concept but it really landed just now, and tears of gratitude and streaming. Willingness is huge for this process, but knowing that each time it's done trains the mind to WANT more stillness made something click, like it's not an impossible feat! 💛🙏🏵️

[@philiprose6226]

I destroyed my life through cocaine, rock bottom was having my arm broken by a drug dealer I owed money to, the consequence was loosing contact with my two beautiful boys, ironically I started using coke after breaking up with the mother to fill the void of when the boys weren't there, sleeping in a room with their empty beds was so hard, being high was the only thing that would distract my mind from my pain. Meditation and cim has given me hope and expanded my awareness. Aaron is a God send, I'm struggling most with forgiving and loving the self that put drugs before being a father and a role model, and lost his children, I'm not sure if I ever can. Maybe once I've got them back and I can be a light that radiates light into their lives. The road to that day is long and not even certain to succeed. Wish me luck and anyone who might read this please send positive energy into my situation, manifest the crap out of it. I miss them so much

Aaron you have such a gifted manner to explain even complicated and deep subjects, YOUR EFFORTS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED and highly valued. No doubt, a diamond in the sand. : ) Will you please make a video explaining LOVE-LIGHT and LIGHT-LOVE? Defining each, their difference(s) and their correlation? I would find your input and wisdom of great value and I am confident others will too, especially those newly awakened. YOU DA BOMB, Brother...

[@royledford5673]

EXCELLENT!! What a bonus to highlight fallacies (pitfall concepts) of various world religions as they are currently often presented. It seems no spiritual tradition is safe from self-serving Powers That Be. Arguably one of the more intelligent things I have done was to get access to an original Greek translation of the of Biblical scriptures. The difference in the Greek and Latin was--esp in certain key areas--staggering to the point of outright scary. Rome did not ADOPT Christianity but ROMANIZED it, turning the spiritual path into a business/governmental control mechanism. I have to admit the translation to Latin was as clever as it was devious!

[@lglp3]

I has overcome the "addiciton"

[@C-o-r-y]

To get your aha moment again you have to let go of attachment for a while, then you will become more sensitive again because what happens when you are stimulated you end up overdoing or over flowing your dopamine. This is why millionaires are usually depressed because they do everything to where nothing satisfies anymore, I did this before what you can do is spend time in nature focusing on small things like butterflies or squirrels videos and watching comedy works, just try to get used to the simple things in life and then everything will be intense again. Monks are the happiest people in the world for a reason they learned how to be without stimulation or desire.

[@kathyseymour4812]

I am working on this too I guess a lot of us are, I know I need to meditate more to be God realized. Then I will not need the addiction. It should be that simple, but programmed otherwise. ??

[@theyogisinger7148]

It’s odd Aaron, I know exactly what to do to find peace yet experientially all that’s going on when I “try” is complete terror and fear. I had a kundalini awakening some time ago and most the time I’m actually resisting feelings and not being able to process them whatsoever, man I feel trapped😂

[@infinitenothingness]

You need to let go. Like, really let it *all* go. Realize the peace and stillness is already within. It is your thoughts (ego [monkey] mind) that are in the way of you living in a state of bliss. Give a mantra to your monkey mind, and find peace within. 🧘‍♀️ 🙏 Love and Light 💚

[@CuriousSoulCanada]

You have a too complicated way of looking at this. It could be useful to those who want to learn the depths of the problem and create a plan. Bored people need to find a source of dopamine as a replacement for Love or something that gives them a good feeling, they don't have the discipline and will power to sit through a meditation session, they programmed themselves with this behavior that once repeated it becomes automatic, a habit of looking for pleasure from TV shows or drugs or porn and all that. I studied so many of my clients and they all seem to be too simple at Mind to understand your concepts
