He not lying bro, your mind is not on your side, and every thought isn’t yours. I remember said if your Brain cared about you why would anyone have suicidal thoughts bro. It’s dark but think about it.

Its crazy the amount of negativity our minds are capable of throwing at us. I found that daily meditation is the only way for me to more regularly gain this "observers perspective" and step out of those thought loops. It's often a pain to sit down and practice meditation but my quality of life improves significantly if I stick with it. Great video giacomo, keep it up!

I will be the summary bro: 1. The key to eliminating mental suffering is mastering your thoughts, recognizing that you are not your thoughts but rather an observer of them, and choosing which thoughts to give power to. 2. There are two aspects within you: your higher self, which seeks your highest potential, and your lower self, which seeks comfort and instant gratification. These two selves are in a constant war, with thoughts as their soldiers. 3. Giving attention to thoughts sent by the lower self empowers it, leading you towards a life of comfort-seeking and instant gratification, which is opposed to change and success. 4. To win the war against the lower self, you must understand it fully and refuse to give attention to any thoughts it sends. It is vital to critically analyze your thoughts and the actions they lead to, as they can be deceptive. 5. Success in this process involves training your mind to withdraw attention from manipulative thoughts and returning focus to the present moment. This can be achieved through practices like meditation and the discipline of understanding and controlling thought patterns.

“People are not their thoughts. They think they are… and it brings them all kinds of sadness.” - Peaceful Warrior

I realized this 30 years ago and it changed my life!!! I say "thinking is my enemy". I cured depression and know that we are many "people" or "personalities" living in one mind. Make some rules about what you will listen too from your mind.❤❤❤❤❤

Yup “lower self” is 100% a comfort zone, whatever is guaranteed as “new” or different is viewed as scary to the lower self. I noticed it blocks me from trying new things, working towards my goals, talking to certain people it throws phrases around like “embarrassing” “not good enough” “too much time” “to much effort” to put me exactly where i am comfortable, and not where i truly want to be

“To realize that you are not your thoughts is when you begin to awaken spiritually.” - Eckhart Tolle Thank you for sharing this truth with us . This video definitely makes me feel that I'm better equipped to *observe* this fight between the soldiers 💪

Brother, u saved my life. Ive seem videos from many super teachers, toby robbins, bob proctor, eckhart tolle and the list goes on. All helped but still i was desperate daily. But it was your video that set me free. Please understand, u saved me. I can never repay u. Just know, the work u decided to do, saved one person here. Im much older than u, still u saved me. Words at this comment cant speak the meaning of this. Thank you thank you

Demons are attacking us. This is a spiritual battle people. One we fight everyday.

I'm not my thoughts, never was, its my choice to what i'm giving attention. Thank you bro ! I feel alot of freedom, i used to fight with my thoughts thinking that i dont deserve to live and that my existence was a mistake. God saved me and now it's sending me people like you to remind me of the traps of giving attention to negative thoughts.

I believe you've explained this better, and quicker than "professionals" who ramble on but never get to the practical solution.

You are literally saving lives here, Thank you

Your videos are like a breath of fresh air, clear, concise, straight to the point, and most importantly, helpful.

Lower self is ego.higher self is consciousness.witness the ego,don't fight it.

What an absolute masterpiece of a video. Not even older people with more experience talks as clear and to the point as this guy.

I watched this video this morning. I used to think that young people were less credible because of their relative lack of life experience, but you’ve helped to change my mind about that. I can tell by the content of your video that you have been through enough of this struggle to speak with some authority. I had to pause to deal with something just after you explained about the lower self wanting comfort and cheap gratification and I wondered what you would say was wrong with comfort and cheap gratification. When I returned to your video a bit later, you didn’t let me down. You went on to answer my unspoken question. I agree with you about how crafty and patient the lower self can be. I appreciate that you acknowledge that you occasionally still stumble and that 9/10 successes is better than 0/10. It’s not like a vending machine where putting in $1.99 for a $2 item yields nothing. That’s really helpful to those of us who tend to be “all or nothing” thinkers. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

fighting your mind is probably the most complicated thing to do, especially if you tend to overthink too much. great video man, I too think practicing meditation is probably the best way to understand what is going through your mind

Please come back! You’re so gifted at this! Your channel will take off. Stay with it. It’s hard at first, then you skyrocket.

this is THE best video on youtube. you ARE LITERALLY saving lives. i pray this reaches those who need it

Being an observer, separate ourselves from the *thoughts* No arguing , no correction, no judgement Manual breathing We are **observers*, we are not our thoughts. We have *free will*. Focusing on 🧘🏻‍♂️ **present moment** This is like ‘exercising’ , muscle training takes time to mastery You are the ‘middle path’ Start letting go and surrender You can be surprised how the Universe gifted to you. Edit: **changes** is mortal enemy to **Comfort.** I learnt that hard way. Mama Mahakali OHM

Its almost 2 am, I'm fed up with life and wanted to end my 'sleeping routine' by mindlessly watching YT videos until I fall asleep.. I'm so glad to have watch this video with full interest. One of my thoughts was like 'nahhh - this ain't entertaining' but I went with 'this might be a gem you are passing on in your current life situation' Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Keep up the phenomenal work!

I think one critique I have on this take is that I believe it is a misnomer to “destroy” the lower self. The goal is not to deprive oneself of simple pleasures of life, but to rather align the lower self and the higher self into one. Through this alignment, our actions both in the lower self and higher self propel us in a direction that is mutually beneficial. Therefore reinforcing the educational, relationship, or career goals that we set out for ourselves. Regardless, good video and helps provoke thought.

Stop reacting to a reality you don’t want to keep attracting 🌹 To have patience with oneself is to have self-love 🍀

Quitting watching 'corn'. The self hatred afterwards is really starting to get to me. I constantly promise myself I wont do it again then break the promise. It's like I lose control of myself.

Thank you ❤

YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN! Just when I thought you couldn't possibly strike home hard again with another one of your videos, you just went ahead and spoke nothing but the hard truth. I really, really appreciate you, man. Truly, thanks for everything you do. Even though your videos are short, each of them takes me through such an emotional experience, that when I get a notification from you, I have to plan ahead to take some time out of my day to watch them. I cannot be more grateful. God bless. Also, congrats on 10K! You deserve only the very best in life.🎈

Buddhist philosophy, if somebody digs deep into will be a masterpiece to conquer this inobedient mindset. It s difficult to break through it initially, there will be a lot of resistance, but afterwards it will be the solution to mental and physical chaos

"it is always your choice" this is absolutely correct. i reached to that conclusion as well myself by experiencing it time and time again that no matter how you try to deceive or fool yourself your always making the final decision to do and not to do what. just by understanding that you become more mindful and get one step better.

Okay ima tell yall This guy improved my mood just by watching and listening to him in this video I was in a awful mood thinking why im not getting what i want Now I'll research some school books Master those chapters and workout So i can have knowledge and a healthy body aswell He really opened my mind and put me back on track without yelling at me, without beating Me without laughing or roasting me at all He is pure drive for all of us who have/are struggling to find a better path

How does this not have more views? This is some underrated content here, hope it gets the attention it deserves sooner

This is the greatest video of all time. Thank you brother 💯

First hand experience of the destruction caused by bad thoughts. Thanks for this.

Nailed it, brother! I experienced a dark night of the soul and spent a vast amount of time introspecting and looking within myself for answers. It took years for me to learn this same thing you are speaking on. I know it to be true and I know just from this one video of yours I have seen, you are certainly on a path of enlightenment my friend. This is by far one of the biggest issues plaguing the world right now and most people don’t even know about it. Thanks for bringing attention to such crucial information by making your videos. Most people only think they know who they are, not realizing that they don’t have the faintest idea. People are lost souls and what you are doing, I’m positive you will help people with these videos. This is the path to truly finding one’s true self. Everybody wants to be their ideal selves but they don’t know how to find their true selves. This will help people do that. God bless you! In the name of Jesus Christ, the Father and the Holy Spirit, Amen!

What a brilliant way to frame our conflicting desires. Thank you 🙏 ❤

This vid just opend ma mind...imma promise from now tat ill be the great observer of ma mind n take decisions wisely!!!!

Very glad to see young people like you, being so wise in this time. Shanti.

Another banger. I like the stoic style, keep going!

i love how concise n straight to the point this is, it makes it way easier to wrap my mind arnd it n i realized jus how much ive been feeding my lower self, which in a way, even if i achieve some comfort, leaves me feeling a vague sense of dread n disappointment

Yes, the same thoughts over and over every day. Thoughts I don't even want to think.

I'm a targeted individual and they torture me with mind control, this is very helpful thank you Your doing gods work .

Wow...what a great message!! It's really something I need now. I need to be strong and control my thoughts and always try to choose the right and healthy and productive path. This video has reinforced me to do that. Thanks!!

You are a stunningly insightful young man. Many people do not realize this information until their late 30’s, or somewhere in their 40’s or even 50’s. The fact that you look so youthful is very helpful to younger people who might not listen so well to someone who is at a different point in life. Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I subscribed, I liked and I am sharing with several young people that I know.

I'm reading biology rn, and Just realized that my book said "there are open and closed systems. open system trades energy and matter between other systems, whereas closed system only trades energy." I think mind is an open system, a different system from your physical body, and you can literally filter it yourself which useful matter you trade with. :3

It’s crazy how our mind takes over. I was so confused as to why I had so many many conflicting thoughts that would drive me crazy. Why?? This from a young man is so inspirational!!! Fear keeps me from going forth, insecurities keep me back. Why would my lower self do this to me? You’re absolutely true-fight against my lower self from now on. Great advice! ♥️✝️♥️🌹♥️

This is, by far, the best explanation I have found till date, that you can apply immediately to improve your life. ❤ Thank you so much. 🙏 Keep creating great content like this. 😇

Many people have said similar things, but you my young friend, perhaps old soul put it so calmly and sucsinctly in such a manner that it was like the first time I'd ever heard it. You are a gem. Cutting to the chase, almost amsr, it just clicked as the best reminder Ever! Mahalo and aloha.😊

I want to say thank you. Even tonight i'm in conflict with Adult viewing, In a low mindset. My higher self is accomplishing finance goals while my lower self is sex deprived from laziness turning straight to adult content at night. It brings more disregard and i feel plain sick from viewing. Infact if the thought never occurs when i go about my day life's fine. And now i understand from the compiled stress, letting various other negative thoughts trap attentiveness ,this is why i fail. Your positive reflection is allowing peace to be present while creating a change. "Just Breath"

bro u nailed EVERYTHING. meditation really changed my life. u need more subs keep going!

Where have you been all my life? Meditation/stuff along these lines basically fills my entire KZfaq feed. This is the best I have ever heard it explained. You have no idea how much this helps. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thanks.

I've done mistakes in the past, and my mind actively says bad thinks about me, ESPECIALLY when I get to feel good then it starts pulling me back, sometimes I can't even be present at work because I focus to make it shut up and I get distracted, what even worse is that the body believes it and I get anxiety attacks.

Great that you’re a young guy doing these videos…my experience of years of self development, spiritual and meditation including being able to hear from the spirit world. You’re definitely on the right track however what I’ve discovered is an emotion needs to felt, acknowledged and an understanding/or something positive about the situation needs to be taken away from the experience before it’s to be let go. And the understanding that some thoughts will come back and that’s ok, they don’t need to always go straight away or they may need to come for a little while, go away and come back. Although we would like them to always go for good. From a person that had ocd and an ocd mind, I’ve learnt not everything can be pushed away by simply observing it or being positive. This is called “toxic positivity” . The emotion needs to be felt and acknowledged without it being judged as right or wrong but simply as an experience the soul/higher self needs to have to be human. This can take 5 seconds or 5 days or come and go for ever.Then it makes it much easier to observe it as you’re saying. How do you tell someone who loses a loved one to observe it? You can’t. They need to feel the lose, why because they love them. Acknowledge I feel this pain because I love them and miss them etc. And perhaps one of my understandings here is that life is about feeling love, I must experience loses of love to fully appreciate love. Nothing needs to be done or fixed now. This can be a huge relief. Then “observe” as your saying or think positive towards the future or any other way that supports you, exercise, positive thinking , enjoying activities and friendships etc . A person can be stuck into feeling guilt or frustration at themselves that they aren’t observing or controlling their mind because “I should be over this by now”. Understanding we are souls having experience and times will be hard but we can get through them Is important to know.

I was on the path to improving my time management and actually working towards something until I got sick a week ago. I allowed myself to choose comfort and pleasure, even when I started feeling better. I knew what I should’ve been doing, and then your video pops up. What a life saver. I am now writing in my journal, two categories: LOWER SELF and HIGHER SELF I am listing all of the thoughts that each side conjures into my mind, now identifying each tactic the lower self uses to self sabotage. I can now isolate all the HIGHER SELF thoughts, bringing those to light to allow myself to further focus on those thoughts, keeping me away from the “dark side.” Thank you for this video, it really opened my mind when I needed it.

my lower self wants a drink 🥃. Thank you this is what i’ve struggled with my whole life especially at night where i can’t sleep. i’m 46 good for you for having this wisdom

This Video Will be The Most important Of My Life !! , I Genuinely Needed This Advice. I Literally Tried 3-4 Times Changing My Self But, Giving in to my lower self made me go back to my old paths. I Genuinely Thank You Because You Are A Life Saver ❤, I Was About To Go Down To My Old Ways Again And After I Watched This Video I Hope That I Would Never Give To My Lower Self Again.

This is something I recently became aware of, went from losing "the war" ,to wining, to losing again. But after i tasted wining i knew I had to practice alot hard. Awesome breakdown and great video brother.

I was asking myself how and why and I exactly needed this video. Thanks brother!! I can identify my lower self and it's chain better than before now. Glad I found this channel earlier.

Thank you, brother. You are the only KZfaqr that actually makes sense.

This is advanced humanity. You are very fortunate to learn this in your early years. Keep it up. Perhaps the future is not in ruin. As long as we have you to continue teaching this. Thank you!

Such beautiful content man! This was the reminder that I needed 🙏🏼 I struggle with letting the past define my worth. I’m surrendering to the impermanence of life. I open my heart and soul to all forms of love!

Thanks for the video G. This is something I became aware of months ago, yet I’m still at the fighting stage, trying to ignore the negative thoughts. No more excuses, this video confirmed everything for me.

In my opinion, everyone has to find their own balance between the two sides as they often work together.

thank you for this video . i have been struggling with a lot . a lot of addictions , deppression .even though ik i will end up in a bad situation if i continue like this i still couldn’t resist myself . i was like iam 25 years old and im still clueless whats happening and how to control myself. few days before i have attempted suicide but i was saved . from that day iam in a battle with my own thoughts . as you have said you might not win 10/10 times . till now i have lost complete control over me but after the insident i could see the difference . i could see me trying to come up slowly. and now after watching this video i understood iam in the right track. thank you soo much for this video ❤

This is what meditation is but it’s funny how people are so put off by meditation that they do t even investigate what it is - they just jump to their own conclusions. Really good video - the breakdown between lower and higher self makes it all crystal clear 💎

Bro this is perfect timing for me! I have been having so many bad thoughts about what happened at my old job and trying to get over it and this video showed up on my recommendation feed and it really helped. Thanks bro

Wow good job kid. Some serious wisdom here for a young dude, concisely presented and easy to understand. This short video could easily replace a lot of the similar topic ones out there on KZfaq that go on and on. Excellent job with the conveyor belt analogy. Serious props 👊🏼

How wonderful you have found this at such a young age. if someone is lucky they find it in there lifetime. You can bring this so clear and easy to understand. Thank you very much !

When he said think nothing for 30 seconds I started drooling lmao

Thank you bro. I am in a bad situation right now with my guardians holding me hostage. I know in order to make it out of this I need to master my thoughts first. This video came into my feed right when I needed to hear it. May you be blessed, your content is such a breath of fresh air.

WOW just WOW.... I suffer from a very bad case of pure O. Basically I think too much and often negative things. These thoughts just came forcefully into my mind and I always felt i can't do anything against them. You are the first who said it straight and simply what is the problem.

Sometimes I tell my thoughts “I see you doing what the mind does just thinking thoughts …good little mind thinking your thoughts…you can ride but you’re not driving”

If you follow your thoughts which you cannot control you can fall in real deep dark places If you can control your thoughts you're a real person who knows it's self, who knows what to do, who knows what to say. That person doesn't believe in taking the right decision he makes a decision and makes it right no matter how hard will that challenge be he will try to always win until the end :D

Great video as always. You are one of the few that have really inspired me to start my own self-improvement journey. Keep making unique and influential content that people love, you have the power to change the lives of many. Keep up the great work, and I hope to watch many more of your videos and watch your channel grow.

Thank you bro this was a video i truly needed

I will listen to this video over and over again until I realise that I am capable of mastering my mind and thoughts cz i am an over thinker and absolutely don't have control over my thoughts.

Bro please! Can you upload one video in every week ?? In within 12 minutes!!! I hope you will 🎉🎉🎉

crazy that a boy half my ages is wiser than i ever was up to this point .... thank you 🙏

I was in a cycle of addiction. Trying to overcome myself. My own wreckedness. Two years ago I cried out to God, without knowing who Jesus was. I had been doing rituals, astrology, tarot, and I had not only addictions, but also a perverted mind and no matter what I did I couldn't overcome the deep depression and emptiness I had felt since I was 10. I was bullied, traumatized, I held a lot of hatred even towards my family. The best thing to describe it is being in the middle of a deep dark ocean with no hope. God saved me when I begged Him to help me in 2021. This day is the day that I met the love of God. I left God behind when I was little, I had a relationship with Him but the lust and pride of life made me think I could live without Him, or that He didn't care about what I did or if I destroyed myself. I'm just trying to say if any of you feel this way you need to know there is hope in HIM. He can set you free. We alone cannot do this. You are not alone. If you ever felt you needed a Savior and thought that there is none: Jesus DIED for you to set you free from death and sin. Turn back, and ask Him to send you His Holy Spirit. To help you know HIM truly. There is nobody too far gone for Him. He defeated death for you. He created and knows you. There is nothing that can make Him stop loving you. Call on Him in truth with all of your heart and you will know His salvation.

I’m so impress with this young generation. You have so much wisdom for such a young age!

YOU ARE CORRECT. YOUR HIGHER SELF IS YOUR CONSCIOUS, LOWER SELF SUB-CONSCIOUS. THE SUBCONSCIOUS IS VERY IMPORTANT (KEEPING YOUR HEART BEATING ETC.) BUT WILL AS YOU SUGGEST, PROVIDE DIRECTION TO PLEASURE OVER SUBSTANCE. BEING AN UNBIASED JUDGE OF YOURSELF IS IMPORTANT. I WOULD CHANGE DESTROYING WITH CONTROLLING WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS. YOUR VIDEO IS VERY BENEFICIAL, KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so True!! I often have bad thoughts about some people but i dont want to think about them that way.. but i dont know why i think about them negatively i cant control those thoughts😢

Wise, interesting and very REAL is this great video: Bravo & Namaste, Scott

I’m looking at this kid like..the key to life…. And then he is right. Keep the conviction.

Comfort is the mortal enemy of change... After the last few years i have fallen into this trap because comfort also feels like safety and safety has become a priority for me- and letting go of that is terrifying. Thanks for this.

you explained it perfectly, this might literally be the most valuable video on yt. i swear, if one can stick to this process that you explained 95% of the time or more, pretty much anything in life is possible. I know it’s easier said than done, but at least you broke it down really well, that can be a food starting point for many

Thank you for this video. As someone who has been reacting to recent changes in a negative way, my mind gets bombarded with fears and thoughts that I don't approve of. When I finally had them have less power of me, it caused me to believe that I approved of them or that I was an emotionless person. So, I said them out loud and the real me criticized them. It made me realize that those thoughts aren't me and that my mind was portraying me as someone I wasn't. Because I had visualized myself as a bad person, it made me believe I WAS a bad person. I'm still recovering but I'm glad they don't have as much power over me as I thought they would. We all fear that we may end up a way we don't like or approve of but remember 85% of what we fear NEVER even happens. So, if we take that food for thought, we will be much happier.

I’m so happy I found your video. Thank you. What is wonderful here is you getting to the point straight away. Too many videos out there which take far to long to listen too before I get bored. Straight to the point thank you :) x

All our thoughts come from the one consciousness that we are all part of. Some thoughts are not even our own just appear out of the pool of thought. The one consciousness wants us to choose our thoughts wisely. We can create heaven or hell with our thoughts actions & behaviours. Start seeing thoughts as devil thoughts or angel thoughts is a good way to start segregating and becoming aware of our own thinking. Meditation helps to become aware. Quite often we can be completely unaware of our own thoughts & we are not in the driving seat. Become the driver & steer ourselves into a brighter direction 😊

Don't stop helping people with these videos, i'm on a jorney to deeply know my real self to escape from the suffer from this fake world we live in, you are blessed to share this knowleage for everyone who's lost on their selves. I'm not the kind to comment videos but your video just reached me in Brazil, if it found me, it will found millions of people around the world too, you will be big, don't stop doing what you want, I'm sure you will prosper. I apreciate the videos with no BS, just the simple and real stuff, right on point, this is what people really need. God bless you bro

absolute genius, all of your videos are timeless.. i comeback to them every once in a while as a reminder

Wow! THis is empowering. I'm just blown away by your intelligence and enlightenment for such a tender age. It's really nice to see a young person like yourself living and leading a healthy life like this. It would be great to see more younger people being more motivated by positivity and a healthy way of thinking, eating, doing things and living life. I applaud you my brother. God's blessings to you. Sending light and blessings. May you continue to spread love and light. May your words and teachings spread and reach many. There is hope.

Powerful teaching. Thank you.

It is true. There is so much suffering through those thoughts.

Absolutley brilliant. I've spoken about this analogy before in the group recovery meetings I run. That I had a higher and a lower power within me. Unfortunatley the higher power was vastly underplayed because the lower power was dominant. It was dominant because it never needed to be challenged. The higher power was never provoked or strengthened by parents because to stimulate my higher power would require them to have to develop their higher power and they weren't available for that. Very important information for those who are ready to hear it!

Don't forget that if you don't like a thought or disagree with one, just acknowledge it and dismiss it, because the more you fight with it the more power you give over to it. If you just recognize and dismiss it, it won't become as repetitively intrusive.

In us is two wolves. One evil. Of anger, jealousy, resentment, self pity, inferiority, self pride, ego. The other, good. Of joy, gratitude, peace, hope, love, serenity, generosity, compassion, faith. The one that wins is the one you feed. - Some Cherokee dude -

According to The Law of Attraction's third and most important part. The Law of Allowing: Feel good in your thoughts, emotions, vibrational balance and in the stories that you tell. Because you get more of the stories that you tell, so only tell stories that you actually want more of. so don't tell stories about stuff that you don't want more of because you will attract more of them. I studied Abraham Hicks -The Law of Attraction material for 25 years and it is very helpful in improving your life and attracting and allowing your desires. The single most important thing of that is for you to FEEL GOOD NOW. Because when you feel good now for any reason eve n if it has nothing to do with your desire. It is a divine sign that you are in alignment with Source energy, and therefore you are attracting and allowing your desires into your life. So turn off the bad news and terrible feeling videos because and terrible gossiping it makes you feel bad and can block your desires.

Hope this doesn't sound too condescending, but seeing young folks as yourself conveying this level of consciousness and methods for it's attainment really inspires folks like me to give thanks, and hope you don't mind if we refure to you as our legasy... As we have been endeavouring since the 1960's So again, my deepest gratitude.. S.

I’m off shrooms while watching This , half way through and it’s changed my perspective I think is truly what most ppl need and that’s just conquering your mind once you believe you can achieve anything without external or internal doubt swaying ur path you will truly be happy with your self and your decisions hope you guys all have a Successful year❤️

2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us that we are to "demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

ADHD leave open all tabs… you are overwhelmed….this powerful up thinking and acting is the right road to travel on….
