Solve for Happy : Part 3 : The Illusion of Self

[@Print229]

I can barely watch through the tears. As he speaks and the truth sinks in, it feels like a tired, strained muscle deep inside my chest is beginning to ease and let go. I am overwhelmed with relief.. And i am only on minute 16.

I don't know if Mo will reading my comment, but I'm really grateful for his podcast. I'm currently unemployed AND having a midlife crisis. Man, midlife crisis is certainly no joke. I used to laugh at 40's-50's rich men who are dating 20's women or younger, but now I think I kinda understand why they do it. Without Mo and his podcast, I would certainly be lost. So, thank you very much, Mo🙏

[@rukhsanamirza4679]

just found this podcast after listening to Mo on the podcast "feel better live more".....I am humbled and have learned so much from him how to deal with ego, vanity, pride, and the cost of falling into the trap of these ....I have learned so much from about sorrow and loss and how to live with mine. thank you Mo

[@samanthawalden2115]

This is fantastic, it is the same teachings as Michael A Singer and the reinforcement of the Buddha teachings of 500BC, which have changed my life. I am so pleased to see this being taught to the younger generation, I would love to be able to teach this or spread the word as I feel it's the way forward.

[@daljitkaur52]

Thank you so much Mo for sharing ultimate crystal clear wisdom 🙏💞💐🙏

[@blisswkc3344]

Watching this in 2020. Anyone else? Have just learnt of this a day ago.

[@idalavida]

It is so great, the ideas and the formula you come with is something I am living already for some (almost 10) years. You describe it very clear and thank you very much for that. I have also bought you book (in Dutch ;) ) but these video lectures are great to follow as an extra to reading the book. And yes, it is a proces of daily work to learn to let go of unuseful and unhappy thoughts ;) but it WORKS and that is just wonderful! Love your work Mo, you're doing a great job! You have a fan here! Warm greetings, Ida, the Netherlands xxx

[@tommyls4357]

Good to know people in Netherlands can be unhappy too ;).

[@natashas857]

That's why 4 years ago I decided to live in my small world and enjoy it, this is very helpful, sad there is no way I can explain or make my kids to understand this sooner rather than later, thank you 😀

[@MoGawdatOfficial]

it's never too late. I hope your kids will always be happy.

[@tanausu7]

you can not be without a body, you are a changing organism for a period of time dreaming to be eternal and solid

[@potterylady44]

This video is so good! Really enjoying it.

[@EmbodiedNonDuality]

Non dual teaching without explicitly saying so. He alludes to the principle of 'neti neti'. He even uses the classic movie screen analogy common in non dual circles. Repackaging the Upanishads for the average Joe I suppose. Spreading the message is always good.

[@philturner3791]

Love this guy's presentation style . Very engaging way of covering tricky subjects. Just one very minor comment. May of been slightly less distracting if they had changed the camera angle so that it didn't catch everyone coming and going to the toilet.

[@tiararoxeanne1318]

He also seem very gentle and considerate towards the audience. No judging at all.

[@bobbyallen8424]

This is some great stuff

[@allanlindsay1330]

Very interesting 👍

[@anthony.francis993]

How. Do you deal with negative difficult people you are working with ?

[@Simon05784]

I think there a book by Dale Carnegie on that...combine that with what's being said here, can lead to understanding what's going on. You don't have to like them it's probably just them projecting.

[@robertjsmith]

This guy is funny in a unique way

[@dmazuruk]

Great talk, thank you for sharing. There's one thing that's really bugging me, you said that we're not our bodies, not even our brain, we are more like observers. Ok, I can observe my thoughts, environment etc., but that's because I have, hopefully :), no brain damage, that's why I can think, I can observe. I assume people with some kind of brain damage, e.g. Alzheimer's disease at some stage, are unable to observe, to understand as they used to. So my conclusion is that I am somehow placed in my brain or dependent on it. What do you think?

[@clairejohnson7809]

Those with Alzheimer’s still have the presence of being, of awareness. Listen to Jill bolte Taylor who had a stroke and lost her language and left sided brain abilities, she still felt a sense of complete bliss and presence.

[@LAHEX-yt6ux]

Interesting! Where would you say our personal consciousness fits into all this? Why do we perceive reality through our own eyes, or rather, why do we each have our own vehicle (body) out of which we are the observer? Or is separation of man an illusion in the grand scheme of things?

[@jackgoldman1]

It is difficult for me to comprehend my insignificance. I am infinitely significant to me. I am insignificant to the Universe. All life is insignificant to the Universe but I am still the most important of all the stories I know. I am the most significant person I know.

[@trevorsartwork]

If within you is the ONLY universe you have ever known, than In a way you are the MOST significant person in the universe.

[@jackgoldman1]

@@trevorsartwork Tragically true. Everyone thinks they are the most important person in the world and each person is correct.

[@annette731]

Too bad we can not hear the questions

[@yogikrishana]

you are there/Here, you are getting it, yet you seem reluctant to fully embrace this philosophy in its totality...perhaps we don't have to react to Spirit and diminish That Self - from which you are operating and to which you are directing Its expression - with language like "weird spiritual stuff"...you are accepting the Reality, That, "I Am Is" is before and beyond language and sensory perception, yet your human identity is still holding to its need for logos in dismissing the Spirit/Self as "weird stuff"...You ARE that weird Spirit stuff, I AM. Religion, at its root, is a science of Spirit, with this fertile mind and drive to expand Being, personal and collective, you can easily pick up high level Vedic scripture/philosophy, That will help fill in the gaps of personal feeling with the Bliss-Ocean of Self-Realization....It is ok to allow oneself to be open to Spirit, That is the very place from which you speak. Ashtavakra Gita would be right up your alley good sir.

[@luisdiego22002]

So, the concept of self is merely perceptual?

[@susanj5591]

But the body is not a machine it is also a creation of your own and you should love it and be with it.

"You are not your job, you're not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis."

[@usbsol]

Claiming that your body is not essential to you being you is part of Mo's strong belief in a soul. The specific body your are in and its myriad of feedback systems has a lot to do with who you. It is of course not all of you... But what is "all of you"? If you remove all qualities from "you" you stop being "you"... And become nothing... Have many things must you remove from a plant before it stops being a plant? How many grains of sand before the beach is no longer a beach? An alternative theory is "supervenience" - your consciuossness is not reducible to your brain(states), but it cannot exist without your brain. So you have irriducibility, with positing autonumous existience of non-physical entities.

omg, it can be that easy ?

[@MoGawdatOfficial]

Being happy is like staying fit. It's like going to the Gym. It takes determination and effort. But we can all be fit if we do what it takes.
