Back to back to back your mate Tom videos? What is this sorcery?! 🧙‍♂️

[@Vivec]

Loving the new videos mate. Think it's some of your best content tbf, really inspiring & insightful stuff.

[@aestasis]

This is gold. Love this proactive realist approach to spirituality. It's refreshing as f. Love you bro. Thanks for coming back to us! Peace.

[@johncollins1255]

My favorite thing about this lil journey of mine is the ability to move past things. Realizing how much everything is just a soul trap except for a very few things is absolutely amazing. Do not stop your journey just because you are going through hell, go through hell and get through the other side.

[@moflo6093]

Hey what do you mean with Soul Trap? attachments?

[@johncollins1255]

@moflo6093 soul trap is anything that feeds your attention away from the goal of the journey. Ram dass would call it distraction from liberation and I like to think of it as distraction from ultimate truth or God. If you notice that you start paying attention to a specific aspect of the journey you are most likely being sucked into a culdesac along the road. I think a good example of which many can relate to is the rabbit hole. Conspiracies, parts of spirituality, and everyday life are big distractions from the path of Truth. Hope this helped!

[@everytimesthefirsttime]

Finally someone is talking about being realistic with spirituality. I also went down the rabbit hole of being disgusted with everything material. It was only making my life worse. There needs to be a healthy balance between these two.

[@bipedal-ape-man]

The best way to prepare for death/life is to live well, one can only live well when they don't fear death, one can only not fear death by understanding what life is, you can only understand what life is by studying it. Too study it you must spend time observing it. To observe it you must sit with your eyes closed and find the intelligence that differentiates you from a Inanimate object, what makes you alive and a rock not alive? Find this and there is no death for you or your loved ones.

[@chadharr3733]

Man what a video this was. I used to watch you 5 years ago and got me into my first schroom experience. I’ve always had huge respect for you and I’ve barely watched over the years but have a certain closeness about you and your channel I don’t have with others. My life is crazy. It feels weird saying I’m proud of where I am cuz of a lot of fear of future and not believing in my self but I think I have to agree with so much you said about not being addicted to philosophy and always trying to find meaning and not just plucking out the weeds but planting seeds. Thankyou Tom and wish you the best from Canada

[@collin9356]

7:00 I agree, the whole idea of a global “spiritual awakening” isn’t necessarily happening.

[@The10.000ThingsOfficial]

Bro i wanted to say this to you for real!, you were a huge inspiration and guide to me when a first have my exp(plural) with psichedelics and i follow your channel from 2014 until now!. What i wanted to say is that you achieve 350K subs you have a community and also build something very cool!. I think if you evolve your channel from just psichedelics and pivot your channel into something intrinsically your new path or life , people willl follow and you would start to grow again!. I remember your last last vlog where you talk about being stagnant with the channel etc. Now you seem very different like really fkn healthy and it seems that if you get creative this channel could really expand and also thanks for everything and please KEEP GOING. ❤

[@megaeggproductions]

Love a good Seinfeld reference hahaha, great to have you back Tom

[@breezyncj]

Glad to see you posting again! Hope all is well with you and yours!

[@unfilteredfungi]

Great to see you here on KZbin again. I love you sharing your expiriences!

[@ClairvoyantEntertainment]

Come back of the century mate I love this channel!!!

[@acardinalconsideration824]

Spittin facts fam. I’ve pulled out many weeds, and thought that I had planted plenty of great stuff in their place, only to realize that the ‘great stuff’ was incredibly prone to withering and dying, meanwhile the weeds return in the blink of an eye. I’ve gotta find more durable plants to plant

[@yolobro2071]

You’re right. Hard work and competence is the path to freedom. Work will set you free.

[@davo1976]

good to have u back Tom, always sharing a refreshing and pragmatic approcah to life thats more helpful than u could imagine. keep em coming

[@TerracedMckenna]

crass pfp goes hard

[@Tommmm54]

The "spiritual" journey ends up being about the self. And depression is a self hole.

[@dylansaus]

My dude,

[@justinwhitman6117]

Love this balance between source and truth is vital. Cultivating a garden is so important after you clear the mind alot of people get hung up and lost in the clear out the closet once it's cleared out build up a new one. That's authentic. Most people are unsure of who they are. I find it difficult to try to be something your not it's can only fan out for so long from my experience. Once you got you knitch game over adapt, expand, level up and alchemize the process with integration. The pure engery of this earth realms is chaos once you surrender the process becomes smoother. Blessings are amongst us everyday. Just just have to seek our lessions through which the guru (who you resonate with) is embodying.

[@Danster82]

Be careful of the 'no self' gurus there is no such thing as no self. The Buddha taught not self, not, no self.

[@Alexsearchforfreedom]

Toms back.good to see you are doing ok man

[@zeroorez-gw4vj]

The sooner you understand, the better off you will be, you are the one who gives yourself a purpose!

[@xadxtya]

Tom, you're relatable. You're into psychedelics just like me and after trying psychedelics I've been having the exact same thoughts that you talk about so these videos are perfect!

[@conradrosetalks]

Congrats on your glow up Tom! Ya look great. The world really is going to shit in terms of how much consumerism has taken over, but you're right we can't sit in a cave in the Himalayas.. I have also discovered on my own path that chasing enlightenment/bliss is a "top-down" approach but if we can balance the approach from the "bottom-up", the right path can get revealed and properly integrated in a down-to-earth way without taking potentially dangerous shortcuts

[@triple_gem_shining]

80% of results come from 20% of your actions. Focus on those 20% and you will get much more results.

[@trico.]

Kind of needed this today. Your the best Tom

[@BraveCat9927]

Thanks tom this was great. I think many of us need to hear this, its been a particularly isolating time for many of us on this path. And this didnt just tell us what we wanted to hear, or what some prophet is spouting. This really is the world we live in and there's no way but through.

[@the0mini0prutt]

Brilliant content Tom. Thank you

[@sandrag8656]

Dark night of the soul... I came (besides other) to this conclusion: No matter what you do or don't do, make shure that you don't regret it later or at the end of this life. Then it isn't (felt) as wasted time.

[@willolol3353]

youre on the way up man

[@rainmanjr2007]

I'm a Taoist and have come to the conclusion that we are electrons experiencing a magnetic bonding with other electrons. If that's true then it would seem logical that the point of this experience is to achieve the purest positive pole energy possible. Death is when my poles change and I detach but I will have another bonding. Possibly how I end this particular wave will determine how I start the next bonding. The more positive energy one starts with the higher you might achieve.

[@godwho5365]

Ma mate Tom coming right at me just when I needed with exactly what I needed. What is this sorcery?

[@marcostp2867]

Dope video, good timing thanks for this 🎉

[@Jonah_Krsna_47]

Its like Tom psychically knows what im going through right nowww

[@filmbuffturk]

This is super interesting. I feel like the more mindful I become the less drive I have to pursue goals and honestly I don't like it. It's like my ego is in check which I thought I wanted but because of that I don't want anything more and I actually miss wanting to want things in life. Idk how to get it back.

[@yungmentalproblems]

Just write down what to do and then when you do it cross out the thing you wrote down. It's very satisfying in my opinion

[@edagbing]

Glad you are back

[@Vatsuggggg]

Just what I needed right now, thank you brother ❤

[@wamlartmuse17]

Sweet, Tom blesses us with another video. Hope this is a thing again.

[@Nothingmuch1039]

Always great to see you mate. Thanks for this one!

[@uncommonmix]

I love your channel Tom it has been very helpful to me throughout the years. Your journey is inspiring.

[@thekittythatsayshello]

What if there's nothing I'm naturally good at? I'm 26, wouldn't i know what it is by now? I have no goals..i don't even know what goals to set. I'm just existing moment by moment day by day. It's chill but i feel like a failure bc everyone else is so motivated and I'm just chillin like who cares we're all gonna die anyway

[@Halfthor54]

A nihilist sitting in a silent empty room feels nothing, sees nothing, and thinks nothing. A spiritually and physically driven individual is sitting in a silent empty room and sees a blank canvas with their thoughts being their brush and paint. Same situation, different reality in the mind. Life is what you make of it. Visualize and feel your thoughts. Dig deep into the infinite living mind. Know that God (or a higher power if you haven't yet allowed God to find you) is watching your every move; guiding you down the right path, even if it is painful. Know that you will find your way in time.

[@constantinbaesanu1659]

My recently shroom trip taught me that do not underestimate life, don’t try to understand life. Now I feel like I don’t know anything at all, life is god’s joke

Fr bro I had mushroom trip that made me aware that am in an artificial construct and that really shattered my reality as I knew it. 2 years later am still trying to make sense of this shit show 😂

[@arthurb.w.597]

Self-negation is demonic. We don't need to "kill our ego" whatever that means, we need (true) morality. It's harmony with reality, and end to rebellion against truth to serve selfish ends.

[@MattisWell.20]

True ego death is about denying yourself as Christ taught. Not a denial of human individuality altogether, but denial in the sense that you are letting go of yourself into the hands of something other and higher than yourself-for that is your true self: letting go and surrendering to a Will that transcends your own. A biblical scripture comes to mind: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer ‘I’ who live, but Christ Who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith/faithfulness of the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

[@moflo6093]

[@Djmagicmike369]

Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 Perth

[@AncientGamer100]

Amazing

[@handyhacker11]

Nah man, chemical depression is real. I can deny it all i want but the mental numbness is there. It's like my mind doesn't exist and i can barely use it. Music means nothing, spirituality means nothing, nothing means anything and nothing exists. But i know that's not the truth. I just know my ability to tap into the spirits is greatly inhibited. Fixing my health with exercise and diet and microbiota seems to be the way to get my feelings back. Has nothing to do with identity. I don't even know who i am, some with but that's about it. But not in a good way. Just constant emptiness. Some might want this but i learned, the craziness of life is what makes it worthwhile. I just need to be able to process life again, rn my brain don't register most things. And psychs suck for me, they showed me how amazing life can be, now it's my turn to level up my character and be in tune with myself again and get my hobbies, mental clarity & emotions back. Fr i can't concentrate for shit and everything feels grey and unnuanced. This is just depression, a thin and incomplete version of reality that's not telling the whole story. Maybe the phone will ring again once i'm back to feeling normal and not inflammed. Until then, all psych expieriences are super uncomfortable for me and just as empty as my sober state. Just . Got the message and hung up the phone and made great progrss in my journey already😊

[@xenomyr]

The place isn't good and I'm not deviating / degenerating into a bad state. This place is bad and I'm trying to get in a good state. That's why we can only improve but never GET THERE. That´s whats depressing to me.

[@Mimmo-kh5tg]

Easy question for you. What the fuck is the point of life? I know, life is “meaningless” but I really want to know. For my experience, it’s all about love. The Divinity just wants to share all his/her/its love with him/her/itself. And so I would like to do that forever. I want to love my mom, my friends, my girlfriend, everyone I meet in my everyday life. Instead, a lot of gurus (like Sadhguru) say that the Supreme point of life is to break the cycle, to get off the bike to merge forever with God. What’s your opinion about that?

[@EL3V4T3D]

If we are in a simulation aka artificial construct which is my belief then the only conclusion I can come to is we are here to learn & experience the good and bad and everything in between.

[@thekittythatsayshello]

[@tariulz]

You are trying to fill a void that is meant for God and you are looking in the wrong places. Your body is a temple and in the temple God dwells. If you corrupt the temple with sin then thieves and robbers will live there that will lead you to do things that will break down your temple and destroy it. Jesus is the only way whereby you can be saved there is no other. This is why the world who is evil hates Him because He is the way and the truth that leads you to life. If He wasn't why does the world who is wicked and evil use His Name as a swear word but none else? Get a 1611 KJV Bible pdf online for free and read it. Exclude the apocrypha because they have no authors. Find God yourself(don't let some pastor or priest that asks you for money teach you) and search for Him and He will be found by you.
