I would love your opinion on the psychology of time. Specifically why we don't function off a perfect 13 month calendar instead months are 28,29,30 and 31 days long breaking up the moon pattern and weekends. My guess is it relates to the matrix scene with morpheus and agent Smith talking about a perfect world and how humans need conflict. But mostly the months. I find it fascinating and shocking that in my 40s I had never thought about it before. (The clock, min, sec 24 hours I can forgive though if you have something to teach me there I would be all ears also)

[@Fleetstreetbestone]

Yes, for me it’s the pain experienced at night when I’m stuck with my thoughts for a period. The only way to escape it is to ensure no daunting regrets will remain at the end of the day, particularly from engaging in hedonistic activities/ aversion behaviours. Even if fears of the future fester in my mind I know I did the best I could and am not kept up all night.

[@misarabage1359]

I have been suffering for many years from chronic insomnia, anxiety disorders and depression. I had developed bad psychosomatic habits and behaviors like eating disorder that even worsened my situation. I had no job, no friends, nothing. And I had problems with my parents and family. It's has been over 3 years when I reached the bottom of my depression and I could not take it anymore. I wanted to commit suicide. I live in a country where the medicine and drugs are not easily accessible, and too expensive, if it wasnt I would end up a drug addict or dead. Because I was too scared of pain to cut myself or jump under train or smth, but I thought of dying almost every day. I prayed for it. In the end something clicked in me. It was like I lost so much of me, that there were nothing left and at that point I started feeling life. I started feeling life because there was no Me. I started my journey of change and I work on building my habits every day. Every day I think of what a gift the life is and I try to learn something new and do a good thing and reconsider my bad actions even the small ones, like judging others. I forgot the past, I improved my relationship with parents I lost 15 kg and etc I want to practice meditations, and many more spiritual practices Even tho I still feel scared of what I have gone through but I am so grateful for it I don't know if it was a psychological rebirth but it was a rebirth for me and I am now convinced that It might repeat again But the next time I will embrace it

[@gottalovegaara92]

@-COLOMBIANCHANNEL-TM Nobody can contest that of course, however if you reached the point where all of your connections to the world are lost and the only thing that you have left in your life are drugs, then getting high can actually become very unpleasant as the realization of the miserable life you are having ( working all day to make money to buy the drugs ) moves step by step from the subconscious realms into the conscious realms up to the point where getting high becomes a drag. Drugs are fun only while you have your life together and if you can find a way to share all the happiness that you get from using them. At least that is what my friends told me :)

This was a very secular explanation for the message the Messiah preached. He told us to deny ourselves, (let go of our habits, will, and emotions during this transformation) take up our cross (own the suffering and bare the burden and struggle of going through this transformation) and follow Him ( chase after righteousness and healthy moral living). In my experience, The Most High and His Son as well as the Holy Spirit has been a major key to my success in enduring a rapid personality change. Prior to this change I had endured great suffering due to lifestyle choices and habits that I couldn't let go of on my own strength. I found strength in God and He has continued to strengthen me, and fill that void that existed after I let go of my old ways and personality. What I found most helpful about this video was the normalization of the stress and anxiety that occurs while pursuing balance after a radical change in ones life has occurred. I suffered several panic attacks and waves of intense fear early in my journey and still struggle with anxiety today, although it has gotten less intense. I appreciated and was comforted when the narrator explained that it was normal and that nothing was wrong with me. A huge weight was lifted. Thank you for this video! I pray that all who seek to radically change their lives allow God and the Holy Spirit to do the work for you! Man alone does not have the strength to endure the nessicary suffering that comes along with this change. God bless!

[@MrDeshrine]

This greatly relates to my own psychological rebirth. Almost verbatim. Incredible. I've managed to completely transform myself from the broken, depressed man I was a few years prior. It was all incremental change and power of will. I started fasting 23 hours a day, engaging in rigorous exercise twice daily (sometimes thrice), and intensely educating myself while putting applicably beneficial concepts learned into practice. I have found a great deal of meaning in pursuing difficult things as I now know how said things mold great men. Academy of Ideas has been a great tool and resource in these pursuits. I shall become a supporting member in the very near future. Much love, brother.

[@mrj4990]

I’m happy to hear of your positive journey, but I have a side question pertaining to fasting. How do you handle your fasting on top of exercise without the effects of energy depletion? How many calories do you think you consume a day? Is fasting 18-23 hours a day sustainable with a 9-5 job?

[@MrDeshrine]

@@mrj4990 Fasting and caloric restriction activate both cellular and genetic pathways that promote energy homeostasis and lifespan extension. AMP-activated protein kinase is a cellular signaling pathway involved in metabolic homeostasis, mitochondrial biogenesis, and autophagy. All of which promote optimal energy and expression of protective genes like the FOXO3A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP. FOX03A is known as the longevity gene and is present in most centenarians and super-centenarians. When one trains in a fasted state, these pathways are greatly amplified and the need for superfluous consumption is greatly attenuated.

[@MrDeshrine]

It's important to note that both AMP-Kinase and FOXO3A are inhibited by IGF-1 and insulin. Insulin and IGF-1 are secreted during times of feeding. High protein diets, especially those high in animal proteins, will inhibit these expressions as well, as more insulin and IGf-1 is secreted with higher blood levels of amino acids. I follow a protocol called the Age Inhibition regimen (AIR) by Dr. Nun Amen Ra. It all started with an attempt to debunk his what then seemed to be quacky claims. I found no holes and this has been truly the most worthwhile pursuit of my life.

[@MrDeshrine]

I recently did a 23andMe DNA test. I plugged the raw data into FoundMyFitness and Promethease, both genetic variant assessment tools. I've come to learn I have four different single nucleotide polymorphism in the FOXO3 pathway. I feel this is an epigenetic change and result of strict adherence to the Age Inhibition Regimen. The FOXO3 SNP is present in only about 10% of the world population, so this, for me, has proven the validity of AIR and has intensified my adherence.

[@MrDeshrine]

I'm currently 5'10 193, very low adiposity, much like my avatar, slightly better. NO DRUGS, just specific nutriceuticals such as resveratrol, curcumin, EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) of green tea, pomegranate extract, green coffee bean extract, and cocoa seed extract(theobromine), berberine and a few other plant-derived compounds. These all promote AMP-Kinase activation, autophagy, neural plasticity, as well as testosterone production and lean muscle tissues.

I know for a fact i'll be back so notes to my future self: The person you are and the person you want to be is very different. So your sacrifices are naturally more hard. 1. In order to win, you need to sacrifice your habits ( eating a lot, spending all of your time in phone- and i know we use it to read books and listen music but we need to limit it so we can get our shit done. ) 2. In order to not getting your heart broken, you need to sacrifice your kindness. Your kindness made you end up in your room with a bottle of painkillers and a letter. Learn to not give a shit, learn to hate people and then act on it, learn to be furious instead of sad. Be angry. Use that anger for changing. Also, there's a difference between being kind and being a doormat. Considering our life, you know which one is us.

[@nickg7552]

I can completely relate to this video. This psychological chaos is exactly what I've been going through over the past few months. In my attempt to change my worldview to a more positive, productive, and fulfilling one, I ended up questioning everything and being unsure in myself. I could not stay focused because I was afraid that what I was focused on was coming from the old state of mind I was trying to avoid so I constantly kept losing focus to the point where I felt like I had severe ADD. I felt like I was barely functional. Things took 5 times as long as they would've before because of the mental turmoil I faced overthinking every task, my conversations and relationships suffered because I would constantly lose my train of thought in the middle of almost every sentence, and I literally could not even direct my thoughts in a certain direction without getting sidetracked by some clearly illogical irrelevant thing that felt like life or death to me. In pursuit of a better mindset I lost some fundamental mental functions. I never thought it would get to this point. It felt a lot like my own personal hell. I have made some progress in stabilizing my psyche and trying to create a new structure I can rely on, but I'm afraid I'm starting to slide back into my old toxic mindset I originally set out to escape. At this point I'm conflicted. Should I hold onto any mental foundation I can get ahold of and risk not changing my patterns or should I mess with my subconscious more in hopes of achieving my goal at the risk of completely losing my mind again?

[@lilasolnick]

Having under gone the rapid personality change, I can say that it is worth it. It is crucial to have the tools for recovery, mine was meditation and the discovery of my true nature. I do not call it a sacrifice. Sacrifice is giving up something of value for something of less value, rather like giving someone a $10 bill in exchange for $5. The value of what I have found on the other side of my change far exceeds that of what I left behind. If you can take the gentle path, do it. However most of us are thrown into the chaos because we are not conscious of how dysfunctional our lives really are. However you get there, it’s worth it.

[@Snowy265]

This seems to be what's happening to me right now. In the last 40 days I've dropped negative habits that I've had for years which I used to think where just part of who I am, thinking that there was no way I could change.

It hasn't been that long but I now feel like those things are now truly part of my past, I now feel productive, motivated, full of creativity and look forward to what I can achieve each day.

Like some gear broke in my head and those type of emotions don't work anymore. Sometimes they try to pop through but I can literally feel my brain not being able to turn them on. It's like a lawn mower trying to start and it just stalls out. Its a remarkable feeling. I'm not sure which way this will take me. I'm in the beginning stage of this new personality.

Swearing and using words not suited for youtube I suddenly froze. No, I'm not going to do this ever again. Not because of the words in them self, rather they imposed bad manners on my self. That's why I decided to stop using those bad word and begin anew. It was hard in the beginning but now, just the other day one of those bard words fell upon my lips and I realised that the wow I haven't sad that word in over 9 months. And as I lock back the gains of stopping using the bad word wasn't only that I gained better manners but I also find the world more pleasant with more vibrant colours. The commute is still boring but I can actually enjoy the scenery outside the window. So with just that small sacrifice a new world slowly appeared for me and with this video you gave me thought. What more could change with small sacrifices?

This video is a brilliant explanation of of rebirth.

Since then, I am more aware of myself and what is happening around me.

Sometimes you go through events and you realize that your current self just can't handle it. Like, you know that you have one or two more weeks of this before you off yourself. Then, you really have no choice but to create a new personality and embody it and believe it's who you are now, with everything you have.

We need some basic level of clarity and a common picture of reality to not only survive, but to move forward as a species. I needed this personally, speaking from my first hand experience; I'm still swinging in the dark. But much of my morale and basic understanding of life is only thanks to many of the concepts you educate me on. Doing us all on you tube a service. Many Thanks 🎯🎯🎯💪🧠

I was trying to get my own change around this time last year. Spent two months travelling alone in Asia, until covid came, and I returned home... Sucks that I ended up in the exact same appartment, with absolutely nothing to do except watching passive media it felt like... "im stuck with that ever since, but it did teach me a lot about life. It's just that I'm not who/what I feel like I should/could be. (truly myself.) Have the hope of leaving everything again next year, getting out of my appartment so that's not the place where I'll fall into my old self again and walking from Belgium to compostella with the goal not to return until I've reached there/continue my walk to "the edge of the world". Hearing the things about ending up in Chaos, it also makes me wonder what've happened if I just stayed in Laos. No way to go home, to your own comforts, having to adapt in a extremely different place with a lot of uncertainties...

Well done video, as usual. One component that was briefly mentioned, but could have been explored a bit more, are the profound shocks that life often thrusts upon people, to sink or swim NOW. A father who's wife suddenly dies is a good example. He is immediately forced to step up his game and assume every responsibility. One wonderful system for living addresses all the talking points mentioned, and more! The AA, and the NA programs provide a wonderful and simple way of living that both will comfort, and challenge, the individual. It is so incredibly designed that it has helped MILLIONS of people crawl out of the gutter, and into an incredible life, often in just a few short years. I would also humbly recommend this program to non-alcoholics and non-addicts as well. Instead of being shunned, you will most likely be met with open arms by an international family prepared to help.

But I wasn't cured until recently, when one more time everything was different again, and for the better. This has been the best year of my life!

Every time I take a step forward it seems I lose 2 steps. This job is giving me hope and promise because their is upside and the people who hired me really believe in me, also Jujitsu has been giving me some reassurance of myself and the chance to learn about myself every day that I go, but this process.. it feels like I’m treading water in the ocean with no land in sight at times.

I want to share something very personal in nutshell I was 15 when i found that i was suffering from depression. I was a happy child and didn't even have the slightest idea what depression or anxiety was. And after that i decended into my own hell. It was hard to survive for me every second i was thinking of ending it. Then i was diagnosed with unspecified non organic psychosis at the age of 19 and i also was diagnosed with boderline. After that i did two attempts one was fatal but i survived and even after the 2nd fatal attempt i was still suicidal. I didn't feel any remorse and still contemplated suicide. I lost intrest in almost everything.i couldn't even get out of my bed for a year or two,, now it has been two months since i noticed something strange that has happend to me which lead to kind of a psychological salvation. I no longer have severe anxiety, i don't feel like i am not in control or that i have lost touch with reality. Depression is there but there is a melancholic feeling and a sense of humour that i have developed. I just dont fear death now.. I don't have any idea what has happened to me..but after 6years i feel okay. Still on meds but i don't now what to call it a rebirth or something else. But the compassion, the love, the pain, the immence suffering, everyhing is there but there is also a feeling of content and peace within me... It's hard to explain.... Very hard... I will turn 22 this april and after so long i can say with all my heart that i m doing okay.

For real. I'm 21 now and I had a mushroom trip when I was 17 that, I believe, totally changed the course of my life. I thought I was dying or going insane, and it was death in a sense. The death of my worldview, which was rather shallow and naive. Ever since, I've tried to orient myself toward the beauty, both in making art and in appreciating the subtleties of existence. Once you see the "beyond," it becomes almost an ethical obligation to mimic, or spread the beauty which you have witnessed.

this happened to me at least 3 times in my life as far as I can remember. I think this happens when I come across an ideology (can't find a better word for this as English is not my first language) that does not add up to my personality, but it seems so logical and true that is slowly makes me sad and after that depressed. after a while of heavy depression which might be a couple of days or a couple of weeks this new ideology wins the fight and I break down completely. when this breakdown is over it really feels like a rebirth it feels like in one or two days the seasons change from winter to spring to summer. all the darkness is gone and energy levels are through the roof. I also notice that when this happens I want to change something about my appearance like shave my head bald or change my clothing style. it feels like my body doesn't fit my personality anymore if I don't change anything just like the snake that sheds his skin.
