Lovely, lovely...life..love as you embark on the journeys ❤💕♥

What a good life you must have lived to feel content. x much love x

Hi Ronzig, Perhaps you truly can do anything you want to do! I have discovered there is no such thing as a fatal disease, only fatal thinking. Have you heard of Dr. Joe Dispenza yet? His latest book is titled Becoming Supernatural. He has many KZfaq videos and about 500 testimonials independently given from people he has shown how to heal themselves from every so called fatal disease out there. You sound like a guy that should live many more years because you have so much more to give. You decide, no one else.

Stay strong my friend and may God be with you on your journey. I wish we all could live like we were dying. Then we’d appreciate this precious life more. I hope you are still here to read this.

Congratulations on your sobriety keep going we believe in you 🙏🏻💪🏼

If you fall 10 times, get up 11.

Congrats on your sobriety.. in my first years (1993 -1996) Joe's writing inspired me too.. God Bless you a day at a time..

Wow. Uplifting story. Thank you for your encouraging words. I am inspired. I love you and God bless you and your family for sharing your story. ❤️

just starting my recovery after 27 years of addiction , just watched a doc called enlighten an now here , 5 years sober is amazing .Your comment jumped out to me , a sign that I AM MEANT to watch this .Thank u

God bless ❤❤

I am so sorry for the loss of your son, my heart truly goes out to you. I hope the many wonderful memories of your son and the Light that lives in you carry you until the day you and your boy can finally be together once again. ❤️

@@venetiagarcia6923 Thank you so much! It is so validating to have someone recognize my loss, it brings me so much comfort💞

My heart goes out to you and your family Stacie. I have a 22 year old son and I can't imagine the loss you must feel. I lost my wife to cancer 2 years ago and I can say from experience that some light does come in through the cracks. Sending so much love ❤️❤️

@@patricktakaya wow, thank you for seeing me. I'm humbled and honored. I am so sorry for your loss as well. It is such a strange truth how it is in and through our pain that our treasure lies. I just read this quote "When we suffer, feel pain of loss etc a deeper appreciation & level of love is expanded inside of us. Our ability to love after such deep sadness is magnified once we strip back, accept & finally see the root of our pain. The removal & healing in the process of suffering leaves room for greater love to exist." I pray this for you and your child/children. As a side note, I read the producers comment and believe me- I send this link to everyone I know! I myself have probably watched it at least a half a dozen times. Thank you for sharing it with the world 🌎

@@staciejean Thanks Stacie! Sending a whole lot of love ❤️

Happy Birthday, I love you Tara ❤️❤️

Tara What a beautiful comment.

Hi Tara! I am 61 and have had much trauma and adversity. 6 years ago, I heard the call. I am living in my truth and while most are heading for retirement at my age, I am heading towards my career path and thriving, inspite of my dragon's. Kudos to you!! Keep roaring!🦁

People everywhere are in search for true inner peace and joy that will last for eternity, but it can only be found in Jesus Christ. Jesus loves you more than you could ever know and He wants to give you this peace. I am sharing my best friend's story with you in hopes that you will come to know Jesus Christ and find real peace and comfort in your soul. God bless you. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a gospel tract.

Very true Ana, Thank you for bringing this up ❤️

Ana Perez dear Ana, I have lived with my projects and bliss guiding me. Most of them didn’t become famous outcomes. However the sum of all of these faithful journeys are where I am now. I Am an artist, a dancer, a teacher, a seamstress and a traveler. I use all my talents and the faith i have found in myself in everything I do. I’ve been on stages as a performer, I’ve exhibited my art, I’ve worn my clothing designs, I’ve taught art to children, I’ve traveled far and wide. Currently I’m a companion to an elderly man with Alzheimer’s. Did my bliss and dreams not come to be? Can I not give him my journeys and joys? the bliss seekers who don’t find what they hoped for may still be living their bliss and content to do so. It’s a lifestyle to seek and battle fears and recover from disappointments. It leads to mysteries. We may need to get lost or diverted or not reach the mountaintop. The outcome is fluid. I sense each of the speakers have lost and not found their bliss many times over.maybe we are hearing them at a good point. Our good points in life are transient. We ebb and flow. We loose and gain. Poverty or death does not mean failure. I understand what you are saying. this movie is uplifting and gorgeous with gorgeous people and gorgeous words. Art in this movie/context I think wants to encourage and inspire. I used to put poverty and death and suffering in my art and people turned away from it. It was for me. It had meaning to me. But it doesn’t sell. It didn’t inspire. The dark side and poverty has meaning too. We don’t see it in this movie, but I’m sure it is understood to be there. Wise people refer to “ non success” as the path. Thank you for making me think.

Ana I was going to say the same thing. Love this doco, but it seems easy to focus on those whom we can say are 'successful', and ignore the many who are not only facing their own dragons, but those of others, and who keep going. I think those stories deserve to be told too. What is their journey and how can their lives also be considered valid and powerful? Are we not simply honouring success we can point to rather than actual inner achievement, which is more inarticulate and identifiable? And, also, isn't it easy to find those who have met 'success' and for them to backtrack to how they got there? We all have our narratives and those who've 'made it' are encouraged to tell us theirs. Often. What about a doco talking to people who are still at that fear stage, who haven't really 'made it' or conquered themselves? There's a point where one of the talent in the movie is talking about doing a 360 on a skateboard and he's falling off a lot. I want to talk to him right then, to see how he's facing up to the fear and panic, while he's lying on the ground after falling off the 10th time. Thats something I feel I can draw on more; a fellow traveller, not someone who I feel is talking from the mountain top of 'success' and hindsight. Patrick, this is not a criticism, just riffing on taking the next steps in the journey of self discovery that Campbell oriented is towards. Thanks mate.

Ana Perez q

I agree, Ana. What if becoming who we're intended to become doesn't mean winning the entrepreneur's award, becoming a doctor or lawyer or earning a Ph.D., or becoming well known? What if a person whose means are very modest has mastered the hero's journey too---and her journey is to live a small enough life that many people who could never afford the retreats and courses or even books by the super-wealth-achievers can learn these lessons through her? It's easier to find the wealthy and famous, though! This is probably why they are featured here---that, and we tend to put trust in money and they've collectively earned a lot of it. It is true that there are probably millions who have found and are following their bliss right now, who reside all over the fame and wealth scales, who most of us will never have the pleasure to meet in this life. I know a few, and they are inspiring too.

Thanks so much There Are No Secrets! There is definitely a lot of teachers showing it to their students ;) Blessings ❤️🙏

Thank you 💞

Hare Krishna. You can miss them all for all the nonsense they represent. This man has the right to waste his own life, but out of sheer arrogance, he gleefully wasted the lives of those who trusted his mindless speculations. Like a pseudo God, he wanted to be heard, but his myth theories are unbearable. God in His intelligent and powerful personality allowed this guy to bewilder himself. Now only bewildered people spend time with his superficial word jugglery. Now I know why exactly I must defend the Absolute Truth. With sincere regards, I remain steadfast to dispelling myths. The truth will set a sincere person free, but myths are bound to strangle one in the snare of repeated birth and death in a miserable mortal world. 🙏🏻

Very good point Linsey! 🙏

Disgusting that the cycle of life, that cycle of repeated birth, death, old age and disease is glorified. This is the devastating misdemeanor of myth creators. Who wants to remain in the cycle of samsara. It's a serious trap, and anyone with any intelligence should seek out the Absolute Truth, that which grants freedom from suffering. We don't need lies to comfort us. We want the solutions, and a myth dispenser is actually quite insensitive and ignorant to this need for liberation.

@Futures Had I not experienced and enormous relief from my own EMDR therapy I may had thought it was woo woo stuff. It's not. There are multitudes of data the touts EMDR as valid. The WHO also promotes this as evidence-based treatment for trauma. It seems you may not have had a positive experience with any therapy. And what may work for one, may not work for another. Doesn't mean it's all bunk.

EMDR saved me too. Released from torment.

We are in the same place, like so many other Mothers who have done such a great job with our children that they have left the nest and then having lost our own identity in suporting others. Unfortunately, even though I thought I had been a good example of taking care of your elders the culture doesn’t. I have been struggling with the shock about how little this current culture doesn’t really value parenting, giving birth and wisdom of elder women. I’m getting too deep here! Suffice it to say you are not alone in this struggle!

Maybe stop referring to everything grandiose like, ‘bliss.’ It’s about hardships, sacrifice, and finding purpose. Victim mentality serves nobody.

@@Alphaproximita The term " finding your bliss."..which is why the word is spoken here so often...coined,by Joseph Campbell in a hugely popular PBS series and writings in the 70/80s for those familiar with him is code...rather like the garden of eden for those,in the west...we all know what the garden of eden means. Its just cultural code shared. I know it sounds touchy feely, ethereal or like b.s. but I am first and foremost,an academic scientist who believes in and uses the scientific method. WE psychologists cannot measure what is,described here...the quest, overcoming obstacles, triumphing in the battle of our own unique life...but we all know it exists at a very fundamental internal level. THis is the reason stories have similar themes across cultures, time, and religions. I can easily measure how smart a person is....ie their IQ which measures general intelligence with the WAIS and I can measure their degree of mental illness, if any, with the MMPI , but I cannot measure how courageous they have been in life, how rich,or fulfilling their life has been...only in story does that persons life story open to understanding and experiencing as an observer or chronicler to someone else. TO find your bliss means to act to DO , to accomplish that which has roadblocks, the challenging things that speak uniquely to us, in spite of our own personal fears and demons.....mine was to master a large body of knowledge in order to help others followed by jumping off the edge of the earth metaphorically as a sailor living aboard and sailing with my partner for a decade.....just the two of us surviving whatever was thrown at us calm or angry seas, and lastly settling in a totally foreign culture, building a house, learning the customs, adapting our minds to a completely different culture. Others as you see in the film, have their,own unique journeys.....that is following your bliss,,what moves you forward in life and outward from your inner self.

@@latinaalma1947 I have a different perspective on finding our bliss. I do believe our bliss comes from within regardless of the actions we take in life. Yes, we can discover, through our actions and experiences to find our bliss, but it's still a matter of going within to experience it. Aligning with our inner bliss, which for me, means learning to love and be joyful for no other reason than because that is who I am by nature, inspires us to act, to do, to accomplish in some of the most magical ways and at times overcome what appears to be challenging times. I align first with my inner bliss (thoughts) then take action from that space. I do not believe it is our actions that move us forward in life, I believe it is only our thoughts that define how we move forward. I also know someone who sailed the world alone for 6 years. She said it was a beautiful experience. She didn't encounter any difficulties of any kind and she attributes that to aligning her thoughts often, getting into a feeling of bliss before taking inspired action. She said it was magical.

Elaine, Yes, the covid silver lining of self reflection.

Thanks Tami! Blessings to Java from Los Angeles ❤️❤️

Thanks and blessings to you from Queens - New York

Everyone goes through some type of adversity in life.

@@lisahoyer5763 I agree! It's all relative.

Thanks Paulina! Sending you love ❤️🙏

Alastair Gordon you probably didn’t have time to listen. I know I didn’t. Too bad we didn’t see this 50 years ago.

you and me both! I am just waking up...so much amazing content in here!! But one needs to know where to look!

Still working on this myself ❤️

If of all the doors in life were shut but one held slightly ajar could you...??

Alastair Gordon you are probably aware the other part of living is dying. I would be interested in your opinion as to the divinity in acceptance. I personally hope daily we never have to pay for the sunlight ??

A worthy endeavor John. High fives for that 🙏🙏

Go man.

Sending love ❤️❤️

Agreed! I try to saddle up every morning... I fall off half the time but that's fun too ❤️🙏

@@patricktakaya :)))))))

It could also be stupid. Could also be part of a manipulative plot to get you out of your cave. Still couragous though. Balance is understanding the frame - when is courage needed and when not. I know quite a few people who sabotage themselves with their toxic positivity and the courage that goes along with it.

I’m sure John Wayne would have called this COMMUNISM‼️

Yip

Foxrox death is the ultimate of fear . live life don’t fear it ,or otherwise you will die inside day by day !

@@jackiehammond705 I am not afraid of death, and you do not understand the statement written by Nichiren....

Foxrox please explain I am always willing to learn ?

@@jackiehammond705 Nichiren was a sage who lived in 13th century Japan, if you google Nichiren Daishonin, you can read up on his life. You can also visit sgi.org which will give you an idea of the buddhist movt that exists today and practices according to his teachings....I am happy you are willing to learn. The phrase he taught his followers is Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo. Myo means mystic, Ho means law, Ren ge means cause and effect, Kyo means life. So when you chant this you are saying I call on the mystic law of cause and effect of life. Go on KZfaq and type Nam Myo ho Renge Kyo in and you can hear what it sounds like. Listen also to Tina Turner and Herbie Hancock, they both practice the Buddhism of Nichiren, Hancock did an excellent lecture on his own experiences of Nichiren Buddhism as a Harvard University lecture. Check it out! Thanks for listening! Best wishes to you! :-)

You are making the "happening" , is not a outside thing comes to you making a "happening".You are the hero of your own life. 😊🙏

I despise patronising platitudes like this

Lori W, last year during a personal crisis, a dear friend of mine told me the same thing .. Things don't happen to u ,it's happening for u. It is so empowering and everything changes when u change the perspective.❤️🙏

I know this saying as a quote from Byron Katie: "Everything happens for you, not to you." It has helped me a lot. It made me feel cared for instead of feeling attacked.

Thanks so much for sharing this Kathy Coop! Your message warmed my heart and made my entire week! Sending love and gratitude❤️🙏

Blessings 🙏

Blessings Michael ❤️

As a complement to that thought, I can add something I ve just heard: "triumph and disaster - two great impostors". Really can put life in context
