peace infinite waters diving deep once
again we’re looking for answers how to
find enlightenment can I get a hello
there so I talk of becoming your
greatest version and I always got a lot
of questions about the theme of
enlightenment people who are embarking
on the journey towards enlightenment
well I have a small confession
for you I can’t help you find
enlightenment but I can share a
perspective and what’s helped me along
my journey gather a greater
comprehension on finding enlightenment
so the mid 17th century you had the age
of enlightenment in Europe the scientist
Isaac Newton was discovering the laws of
gravity the laws of motion heliocentrism
that the planets are orbiting the Sun
now up until this point that was absurd
so in essence Isaac Newton was
shattering the old paradigm which was
rooted in superstition this is what we
call the age of reason so in that regard
enlightenment was a scientific discovery
now we can talk of spiritual
enlightenment you might have seen the
Buddha in a lotus pose
full of calm very serene and a lot of us
say I want that okay so we get so many
different ideas of what enlightenment is
enlightenment might be quitting Facebook
getting out of an abusive relationship
for you enlightenment might be finding
the perfect job and saying that goodness
gracious it might be finding a diet that
works for you not a diet but a lifestyle
right okay so twelve years old I’m in
the library and I pick up a book Fritz
Perls
and I’m reading and I’m getting blown
away very interesting stuff mind you I
was just reading away not realizing
years later I would be studying this
stuff now many of us who are in the
process of becoming our greatest version
and we are already there I’ll go into
that later ah searching with searching
okay now I’m gonna share with you the
psychology of enlightenment now going
back to Isaac Newton he was questioning
the old way okay
now people are realizing that wait a
minute we don’t live in a material world
you have the biologist dr. Bruce Lipton
talking about how epigenetics basically
our perception and our environment
influences our DNA we’ve had him on the
show so he is
shattering that deterministic view that
we live in a material world and he’s
talking about how we can actually impact
the energy all around us and that’s what
quantum physicists are discovering ok so
here is the psychology of how to find
enlightenment now you start off
perfectly fine you’re playing in the
swings you’re having a good time with
your friends and then you hear a shout
come inside and you say to yourself no I
don’t want to come inside I am calm I’m
happy I’m a complete that would complete
ok so at a very young age what I’ve seen
along my journey is that we are already
enlightened because enlightenment is all
about equilibrium it’s all about your
inner calm your inner joy whatever makes
you feel most alive now when you’re
playing in the swing you don’t need a
manual you don’t need someone telling
you how to do it in essence you start
finding your own way but ok your mom has
called you to come inside so the
sensible thing to do is to come inside
because she is making food for you or he
is making food for you right okay so you
come inside now what there is a deep
discomfort that arises within you simply
because
you’ve got a lot of homework to do so we
took of the educational system we spend
our whole lives preparing for a big exam
more so trying to find the right answer
okay so now the psychology of the child
four or five years old
is one of lack one of inadequacy right
so now you want to find enlightenment
being the right answer in the exam okay
so until you get it there is gonna be a
big discomfort until you get that
lifestyle which is being portrayed in
the media of the perfect house
relationship financial success you are
gonna be in discomfort so enlightenment
expresses itself in a multitude of ways
so from the discomfort we move to a need
for change okay so you say I need to
change this about myself so we have a
feeling that we are not good enough so
we start comparing ourselves to other
people for instance someone will tell
you right in your face
guess what I got an A in my exam I’m
smarter than you and then someone come
to you and say hey I know something you
don’t know okay so we say I need to
change something about myself so then we
go into the future process
affect enlightenment I always say is
knowing how much you don’t know okay
but many of us our enlightenment is all
about the future
you see enlightenment is all about this
present moment just like for its Pearl
said it’s about here and now that’s what
his whole counseling philosophy was all
about which I also agree with
fully-functional being a fully
functioning human being like Carl Rogers
said is all about being in the here and
now dealing with existential living okay
so the future prospect once again takes
us out of the present moment all anxiety
is born out of the desire to escape the
present moment so I say become aware of
your words thoughts and actions and then
you will see that every single
experience is being created by how you
feel when you feel everything is gonna
be great on Tuesday when it’s Monday now
you have this future prospect you are
waiting for enlightenment so so what
happens okay now you go on a quest you
go on this search you want to go to the
temples you want to go and find
enlightened masters people with superior
knowledge than yourself you go on the
quest because once again you aren’t
comfortable with living in yourself you
want to live out there so much of the
external enlightenment which I refer to
as moving outside of yourself emanates
from a feeling of lack in security
because we feel someone has the answer
we go back to the childhood discomfort
now work with me so on the quest this
was me along my journey I would be
reading a lot of books by Krishnamurti
Osho Fritz Perls David Bohm okay
this was inspiring stuff to me because
once again I was studying to become a
psychologist a criminologist and it
helped me even when I did study and have
all of that I was still scratching my
head once again I was still on the quest
for enlightenment
therefore enlightenment was a future
prospect so it created a lot of anxiety
now you’re probably thinking to yourself
how do I find enlightenment okay we’re
getting there don’t worry so I got into
information I wanted to learn about
ancient cultures I wanted to learn from
the wise people in our society from
people that other people said were wise
but I never questioned it okay because
as children we have many questions we
are naturally curious we ask what where
why okay now information filled up a
large part of my life I was reading
reading reading trying to find the
answer in essence I was trying to find
more balance within myself and I was
using external anchors to get that
internal balance which in essence is
imposed
because I was living from the outside in
instead of the inside out which is what
enlightenment is all about the deep
sensation tuning into what is taking
place at this very moment in essence
creating in a balance in here and now so
I didn’t listen to that advice no no no
I was accumulating accumulating
accumulating so so many of us take a
look at your life right now now you
probably say I want more money which is
great because money is energy okay we
all need it I do you probably say I want
more clothes you probably say to
yourself I want a better relationship
right now if you’re single you probably
say I want a relationship you probably
say I want a better job so we have a lot
of once which is perfectly fine because
once again we are creatures of desires
we are creatures of deep desires so by
accumulating once again we are deviating
from our authenticity because once again
as children we are already there we are
already connected to source energy to
the field whatever name you have for it
we are already there we are already
whole therefore we are already our
greatest versions because we’re not
trying to compare compete with other
people we are perfectly comfortable
within ourself within ourselves until
someone says wait a minute that person
over there is better than you go and
have a race with them okay now we move
away from our heart space from our
authenticity so we want to accumulate we
want to get stuff more
more more MORE so we want to go and
search we want to study we want answers
okay so are you finding your
enlightenment now so you hear a very
wise person speak and you say gosh they
have found the answer so you study under
them for many years and that’s what I
did for a long time anything I share
with you is only coming from a
perspective that is why I always say
along my journey this is what’s helped
me because this is my subjective truth
not yours so whenever I listen to
someone I’m not listening because I want
to get something these days I’m not
listening because I want to learn
something
I’m listening because maybe I feel they
have great energy
I’m resonating with what they’re saying
but I don’t feel that I have to worship
them why because we are all energy what
I love to say in like ash I am another
yourself but I didn’t take that advice
or I’m still accumulating stuff I want
to know all the secrets of the universe
but you see enlightenment what I
discovered is not in the known there are
things that we know there are things
that we don’t know and there are things
that we don’t know we don’t know that is
kind of like enlightenment that’s what I
discovered in diving deep you realize
that the possibilities are endless
and I’m not afraid to say I don’t have
the whole truth because the truth is
infinite just like that
where’s bracelet like that okay the
truth is infinite but at the same time
it doesn’t stop me from diving from
having fun from enjoying yourself that
is what life is all
okay so when you are accumulating now
you have the test you’re testing
yourself to see if you are enlightened
because once again you’ve spent so much
time meditating and doing all of these
mantras okay but there is still a deep
discomfort because once again we are
incorporating other people’s methods and
techniques they are really ours we have
just been told that they will help us
become enlightened and we don’t really
know what enlightenment means anyway
okay so in this test we find that we
pass the test because guess what we’ve
been doing it now for years okay we are
masters other people’s techniques now we
have a deep discomfort we have found
what we have been searching for a whole
life that was me along my journey I had
read over a thousand books I had studied
every single psychologist but guess what
I didn’t study myself so I knew nothing
about who the hell I was what’s helped
me along my journey is realising study
everything but study yourself first for
me enlightenment is like stepping into
the ocean when it’s freezing cold okay
enlightenment is reawakening your inner
child enlightenment is about being
fearless there are no mistakes you see
what we call mistakes are social norms
enlightenment is shattering the old and
embracing the new so what really helped
me along my journey find enlightenment
was not taking yourself so seriously
loosen up because that’s what we do as
children we’re playing we’re having a
good time we are in a constant state of
expansion when someone says don’t do
that what happens we are in contraction
so what helped me was to allow the
change not to be in resistance to change
but to allow change to in essence
surrender I realized that surrendering
to the search letting go of the search
now I saw the pearls within I realized I
was sitting on diamonds literally and
that I was the very thing I was
searching for but guess what I was
chasing my own tail you see everything
comes full circle as a child a child is
born with no state of mind you’re very
free then you want to work hard you want
to put in all the effort you want to
live up to other people’s expectations
you judge yourself you don’t forgive
yourself it’s like an elastic band very
tight around your wrist
then you say let me get that band off my
wrist and now you are nothing once
in that nothingness UI everything that
is enlightenment you stop searching you
stop listening to people thinking you
are gonna get answers and now you tap
into the energy just like you are
listening to a great piece of music what
am I talking about here you’re not
listening
trying to get answers out of the music
you’re saying whoa this sounds so good I
want to dance I want to move so what
helped me along my journey was hearing
other people’s perspectives using
discernment realizing that no one person
has the answer and we shouldn’t be
looking for answers we should be looking
for the truth within ourselves and
embracing other people’s truths being
happy for them that they have found
their truth their truth is not us but we
are social beings and we all share a
collective truth but my enlightenment is
not yours for you
enlightenment may be waking up a 3:33 in
the morning it may be eating a juicy
mango but guess what I prefer grapes not
really I love mangoes
but whatever rocks your boat you see
what we’ve done with finding
enlightenment nirvana peace we say do
this and you will find enlightenment
which is great but I always remind
people I’m only sharing with you what’s
helped me along my journey and therefore
if you find someone that resonates with
you a great guru
also realize that you are the Guru you
are the teacher and once you stop
externalizing your power you realize
that nobody is coming to save you but
yourself at the same time we all need
each other we all can inspire each other
I love listening to inspiring people to
get a different perspective which also
aids in my own in a balance
never-ending at the same time it is
accessible right here it’s not something
far out there it is what’s helped me is
just tuning in a hundred percent to what
is taking place right now so the little
ambient noise the bird singing
person going by and I’m gonna do a video
on mindfulness meditation in depth soon
but that’s what I’ve discovered
enlightenment is knowing how much you
don’t know and being okay with it
enlightenment is whatever you say it is
because once again the power lies within
yourself there you have it we are here
infinite waters diving deep once again stay well stay healthy
again we’re looking for answers how to
