It feels like you're predominantly in your head in this. It lacks balance, soul, fullness, body...feels like isolated, bypass spirituality. It feels like you haven't done any or enough dark work: inner and outer. "The world is illusion; Brahman alone is real; The world is Brahman" comes to mind. The world is illusion *as something separate from Brahman* but the world still is. Our culture induces us to say "I'm glad *_horrible experience_* happened because *_realization/understanding/etc_* came through it. In truth, the horrible experience was horrible *and* the realization/understanding/etc. is fortunate. One does not negate the other. In my sense, Life/Universe/Divine... is doing its thing in us however it's doing it so it feels like it's going to go where it's going no matter what happens. It's going to use everything to its own ends. There's wisdom in your film/piece here and it seems some of it may be from direct seeing. It just doesn't feel fully fleshed out.

This video found it's way to me on a day when I needed it most. I'm truly astonished. I have been a practicing witch for many years and somehow I know everything that was said in this video to be true but when you lose someone who you raised, taught right from wrong, fed from a baby, took care of even in their floundering around in their adult life, it's very easy to slip into the questions that every human mind asks. Why him, why now, why, why, why. Today would have been his 51st Birthday and instead of calling him I found this on my screen this morning when I opened my phone and while listening i began to cry. Not sad tears but tears of knowing. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I believe that concepts beyond the empirically-supported Four Noble Truths constitute creative speculation, which can nonetheless be beneficial for mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Upon understanding the Four Noble Truths, individuals can develop their own belief systems, provided they prioritize loving kindness and peace. While some prefer adhering to established teachings or traditions, there's nothing inherently wrong with that approach, as long as it promotes overall wellness.

Todd says, (at the very end of his 'Returning to Oneness' video, 5/6/'24) "As long as we have BREATH we have life." It sounds like he is referring to the physical body's breath. But I'm sure he means the "breath" of all life, the breath of the process of life which never ends.

Now a days I am getting jealous to see people happy ,isolated ,centred amoung themselves , I feel betrayed by the universe , every time !!! whenever I thought everything gonna be fine. again universe gave me a shock take away my all happiness give me a grief of the lifetime , these things suffocating me .

Maybe that's where you start. You feel as if you are a good person so therefore you deserve a good life like the other good people around you. But it seems that being a "good" person brings about pain and suffering, which is perhaps valid to feel dissalusioned with. Is it not then ok to be a "bad" person perhaps? If you enjoy stealing, but you are reprimanded to feel shame for doing so by even so called "good" people, are you not just following what you deemed good and what makes you feel good, and it is the "others" around you or even society that makes you feel ostracized for being true to your sense of good and your heart? The answers will not come easy, but once you come to understand that actually being good, especially to yourself first and foremost will not outwardly look like good to others, maybe a larger conversation in your soul can be examined about how we define what makes a person "good" in our currently world predicament. Find peace brother whether you understood a word I said or not. So long as this video exists, so too will this comment
