“It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.”

Fear can be pleasurable if you reframe it as excitement. The only difference between fear and excitement is attitude.

This channel is the epitome of "disturbing the comfortable and comforting the disturbed" many topics either affirm the feelings of those who may be uncertain of their journey whilst also pushing the stagnant into a transformation. Helpful af

This Channel is extremely underrated. Each video is crafted with care and wisdom. Thank you!

I have a feeling, my Maladaptive Daydreaming will have to be my sacrifice. It has gotten out of control. I have to come to terms with where I'm at and how I look. I also have to forgive myself for old mistakes I made. I ruminate on the past way too much. Self acceptance isn't as easy as it sounds, people. I need your prayers.

To put this into a simple paragraph according to my understanding: 1. Rapid transformations are possible; however, it is much riskier than gradual changes because the volatility may be too big to bear without losing one's sanity. 2. Side idea: It happens most to those who are not content with their lives than the content ones. 3. This rapid transformation's first stage is a stage of chaos. You are deliberately destroying your old and stable way of doing things with an intent to replace with a better one but doing so would hurt your feeling of order and causes you enter into a chaotic dimension. 4. Some deeply sunk into this chaos and make their matters worse by not being able to come out of the hole they dug, the hole is too dark to make sense and see and the longer they spent that time in that darkness, the more they become one with the darkness and the task of positive transformation becomes impossible to them. Some manage to find the diamond and get out of the hole by keeping their sanity in check and allowing themselves to be calm and think through many ways of getting out of that dark hole. Some exercises that help one's sanity in check are meditations and exercising. 5. Last point is that some choose to go through this process despite the risk and some don't due to fear, laziness...or various other reasons. But even if you decide not to go thru these changes, the fact that you are not voluntarily going thru these changes diminishes your freedom and in turn puts you in that dark hole forcefully. So, the video suggests that you wishing not to take action or not doesn't really matter cuz you will be involved in this process anyway so why not take the challenge and overcome it voluntarily instead of doing nothing and regretting later.

Im literally doing this now. Waking up at 4, meditation/affirmations, gym, clean food, work until 7, meditation/affirmations, sleep by 9. Sunday is for relaxing and socializing. Reverse engineering my long term goals and taking control of my reward systems. Starving my mind of distractions and improving my ability to focus on what moves the needle. Anything short of this and I tend to slip into apathetic complacency and chronic underlying anger.

The sacrifice i need to make is to move out of my parents home

This video describes my life recently. The most difficult thing is dealing with people who think you've lost your mind because they expect you to live in the past because they can't control you anymore.

Loved this video. Just want to share my own story: Recently divorced someone who blamed me for everything - I fell down a rabbit hole of intense self loathing and failure only to come out the other side several weeks later with a new vision and outlook on life. Im moving out of my apartment, quitting my dead-end job and buying a work van to live in on the road and start my own business that I’ve been planning for the past 7 years. I also learned that it’s not OK to put up with someone else’s red flags because you think you’ll be able to look past them in the future. That day will never come. Your partner needs to respect you as a person and be mature enough to take responsibility for their own actions. Most importantly, you need to respect yourself and when the day comes where you must rise from the ashes, you will know. There is no mistaking it.

I took a voluntary plunge into darkness, and I’m still climbing my way back out, I took a plunge and got lost at the bottom, became a satanist, lost all my friends, and hated myself and the world, I’ve gained better friends and came back twice as strong as I was and I’m no longer a satanist

"The shortcut to heaven is through hell"

It's a double edged sword, you are either reborn or trapped in your own misery forever.

I have been suffering for many years from chronic insomnia, anxiety disorders and depression. I had developed bad psychosomatic habits and behaviors like eating disorder that even worsened my situation. I had no job, no friends, nothing. And I had problems with my parents and family. It's has been over 3 years when I reached the bottom of my depression and I could not take it anymore. I wanted to commit suicide. I live in a country where the medicine and drugs are not easily accessible, and too expensive, if it wasnt I would end up a drug addict or dead. Because I was too scared of pain to cut myself or jump under train or smth, but I thought of dying almost every day. I prayed for it. In the end something clicked in me. It was like I lost so much of me, that there were nothing left and at that point I started feeling life. I started feeling life because there was no Me. I started my journey of change and I work on building my habits every day. Every day I think of what a gift the life is and I try to learn something new and do a good thing and reconsider my bad actions even the small ones, like judging others. I forgot the past, I improved my relationship with parents I lost 15 kg and etc I want to practice meditations, and many more spiritual practices Even tho I still feel scared of what I have gone through but I am so grateful for it I don't know if it was a psychological rebirth but it was a rebirth for me and I am now convinced that It might repeat again But the next time I will embrace it

I know for a fact i'll be back so notes to my future self: The person you are and the person you want to be is very different. So your sacrifices are naturally more hard. 1. In order to win, you need to sacrifice your habits ( eating a lot, spending all of your time in phone- and i know we use it to read books and listen music but we need to limit it so we can get our shit done. ) 2. In order to not getting your heart broken, you need to sacrifice your kindness. Your kindness made you end up in your room with a bottle of painkillers and a letter. Learn to not give a shit, learn to hate people and then act on it, learn to be furious instead of sad. Be angry. Use that anger for changing. Also, there's a difference between being kind and being a doormat. Considering our life, you know which one is us.

Perfect timing, as I decided to quit doing drugs recently and stop wasting my time and money from getting high. I used to train MMA, my passion, and left it cuz I fell back into addiction. Ty for the motivation!

Carl Jung is scary... his insights and intelligence humbles me to the size of an ant everytime I hear him,

'View ourselves as explorers of the chaos.' I feel like I needed to hear that.

Exactly what happened to me. Word for word. Anyone who is listening, please understand, you control the end result. Choose life

Always with a subject in perfect timming

The timing of this is crazy. I just experienced a massive personality shift extremely recently.

This video made me realize the depression I was going through in a second and I literally started crying because I realized how true this video is. Thank you so much man. It helped me out a lot

Wow. That’s happened to me. I didn’t know this was a process and that it was actually recognised and understood by other people - I thought I was just crazy. I thought it was just chaos. So It’s nice to hear it explained to me like this. This channel is helping me a lot. 🙏🏻 thank you

Im experiencing this right now, transforming my goal directed motivation and fundamentally shifting my paradigm. Cool how this video coincides with my journey.

Something like this can happen to you so quickly... It's like a slow descent at first, where you find yourself in a dark place in your life, where things become worse and worse until you fall into a pit. And you climb out of that pit as a changed man. I went through something like this twice in my life already. First when I was fighting my social anxiety and depression, second time when I (luckily) lost my stressful job and got out of a bad relationship. You essentially find yourself in a place, where you have no choice but to change, become stronger and move on. But if you're reading this and you're in a similar situation: You can do it! Stop doubting yourself and keep pushing! Life always has beautiful things to offer once you move on past all the bullshit.

If only these videos were around when I was “suicidal” and lost. These are the videos that deserve to be trending over the mainstream viral ones 🙄🙄🙄

my 20s are pretty crazy. Quitting weed also!

This greatly relates to my own psychological rebirth. Almost verbatim. Incredible. I've managed to completely transform myself from the broken, depressed man I was a few years prior. It was all incremental change and power of will. I started fasting 23 hours a day, engaging in rigorous exercise twice daily (sometimes thrice), and intensely educating myself while putting applicably beneficial concepts learned into practice. I have found a great deal of meaning in pursuing difficult things as I now know how said things mold great men. Academy of Ideas has been a great tool and resource in these pursuits. I shall become a supporting member in the very near future. Much love, brother.

Looking back, I realize how much I have changed and how much I have suffered during that change. The change itself is not obvious, nor is the changing. It only becomes obvious when you compare yourself with your old self.

I've undergone extreme mental change over the past year and a half and when it says sacrificing that part of yourself can result in initial chaos and struggle that shit is extremely true. I used to be very angry at the world, for the way we treat people and once I finally decided to abandon that anger I was dysfunctional, I didn't know what to do or think for a little while before some good thinking habits set it and improved my mental status extremely

I went through a radical personality transformation. Thank you so very much for this validation. And as always, breathtaking artwork and teaching style.

Interesting that mental breakdown and radical change both have the same origin and one is prerequisite to another.

I thought I was psychotic or crazy, but in reality I am becoming something new and greater as the reward for acknowledging , facing and then walking through the flames. To shine like the sun, first you must burn like it. Sending strength and positivity to everyone. Keep fighting

I think everyone here can be my friend in this lonely part of world I live in. What better person can I be with than the 1 who understands, values & seeks wisdom of life.

I am honored to have this channel on notification.

In my estimation, any practice without an underpinning philosophy can only ever be drudgery, meanwhile any philosophy without practical implementation can only ever amount to sophistry.

This has happened to me. I even had a very vivid dream with me dying and being reborn to a better version of me. When this happened I woke up feeling one of the most beautiful feelings I could ever feel, it was super intense, but I felt an enlightening . You can become who you want to be. You really can live a happy life.

This is the 1st time again after a very, very long time that I cried after watching a video. I followed what was said to make a sacrifice, and I just sacrificed something very close and attached to me, -a very strong negative emotion towards a person that i'm harbouring for years. I'm free now. I just had a breakthrough. Thank you.

13 years of therapy and 14 months of AA, I find this video to be my experience. I have tried to explain my experience when I have been asked and I couldn't. Great video as always.

I experienced this in 1996. It's simple, "Enough is Enough" . "Truth is Truth".

I've recently been though a psychological rebirth... 1 year ago. It was the worst thing I have ever experienced! I'm grateful to be alive. I could have ended up in a looney bin.

I went through this at age 27. Complete mental break. Became a different person a few months later. A better person.

"The sacrifice is critical in the process of rebirth, for the simple reason that often what keeps us locked in our problems is the inability to recognize that ways of life that served us in our past may morph from promoters of our well-being, to the acute cause of our suffering. A sacrifice can take countless forms, and may be as simple as the quitting of a dead-end job. Sacrifice can engender a psychological rebirth. The snake which cannot shed its skin perishes."

*_Break your bad habits and replace them with good ones. If you want to change yourself it is completely possible, but only you can make it happen_*

"...worn out way of being." Boy does that ring a bell.

Approximately a year ago I made the conscious decision to allow who I was to die in order to become who I needed. I remember this very clearly because I let myself try and form my own opinion about my mother, whos narcissism destroyed the family. Doing so caused me to break into psychosis, specifically hypomania, which eventually led to me discovering I have a few mental illnesses. Despite the fact that this decision triggered enough stress in my life for intrusive suicidal thoughts to settle in, it has changed my life for the better. I'm also not so sure I'd be here today if I hadn't. Everything in this video that was said, I have applied to myself in some way; it's astonishing. I only discovered Jung psychology less than a month ago, through the artwork of Peter Birkäuser, so I'm in disbelief of how accurate this video is of myself in the past year.

Your lectures are infinitely applicable, as is evidenced by how many people (myself included) feel that it was perfectly timed for their personal context.

Yo WTF... This guy has Krazy timing!!!! I've been looking for this type of stuff lately!!

This video showed me that I’m currently in the middle of a ‘rebirth’. Changed a lot of relationships and tendencies over the last month and I’ve felt like I’ve been leaving something behind and chasing something new but haven’t been able to tell what they were. When he started talking about the usefulness of meditation and breathing exercises I laughed out loud because I’ve been gravitating towards those more than ever in my life because my anxiety has been through the roof. It’s hard changing yourself out of no where. People think you’ve lost it and if enough people start to tell you your change is bad, you start to wonder if they’re right. You have to trust yourself and remind yourself that there is a reason you had to make this change and keep going. Don’t let anyone hold you back.

I found this video six months ago, right before the end of the year. My life was in complete chaos, chaos ruled my daily existence and all I thought to do was partake in unhealthy coping mechanisms to get through each day. After finding this video I took a complete plunge into hell, literally listening to war music daily as I removed every dopamine addiction and bad habit from my life. I reintroduced every positive habit that i could think of would serve me, and I journaled in my free time to help navigate the waters. Lasted about three weeks until the stress kicked my ass and plunged me further than I was able to handle, and alot of bad habits returned. At the start it was a few weeks I'd return to the bad habits before my next plunge, but the longer I stay on this journey - the less I have to return to "safety", and the less time I have to spend there. This video and the knowledge it contains without a doubt changed my life in ways I could have never expected. I consume knowledge daily, and have yet to find anything close to as powerful as this video. Thanks to the sacrifice I mostly live in a state of order, where positivity, purpose, passion, drive and hope fuels my daily existence. Despite the absolute agony of that first dive into hell, id do it all over again in a heartbeat. The bigger the sacrifice, the bigger the reward has now become my mantra. Thanks again for the awesome content, keep up the great work

The timing of this video is PERFECT!! Thank you for sharing such knowledge in your videos. It’s truly helping me get my own self back.

I'm in the process of ending my 12 year relationship...The universe sends this to guide me.

i keep coming back to this video time and time again with new eyes, because one cannot be satisfied with just one serving of wisdom

I needed this so much right now. Who else going through a rebirth January 2020?

I experienced this in making an active decision to be a Christian after having been into all manner of depraved and quite frankly evil ways of experience. The initial transformation was very disassociating and caused extreme anxiety and fear at the fundamental change taking place within my spirit. In the end I'm much more content and a much better man, all glory to Christ.

I'm an atheist, but here is a really valuable lesson in my opinion: "God put the very best things in life on the other side of fear" - Will Smith

This video has so much truth to it. I spent 6 years of my life with high anxiety, and the last 6 months of that period were spent in depression. I awoke from the depression a new and better person. This was a great summary of my journey through that period.

Thank you, really needed this. I will, with all my willpower, trying to be present again without ritalin medication. Though it has helped me tremendously with my autism and adhd, at work, with productivity, the everyday life to be honest. I felt a breaking point a couple of days ago, where that need, or addiction starts to lurk back at me again. I will not give up in this, its going to be hard, and will take a lot of willpower and courage. A lot of mind ghosts will probably appear again. But I will not surrender. Once again, thank you for this video.

This video comes at a perfect time, as many people are talking about psychological deaths & rebirths. Collectively, it seems that many of us are experiencing these dramatic changes together. May it be for the better.

During the last autumn when I was commuting back from school in my car, an activity that I find very boring. A slower car with a horse trailer slowed the speed on the highway. Swearing and using words not suited for youtube I suddenly froze. No, I'm not going to do this ever again. Not because of the words in them self, rather they imposed bad manners on my self. That's why I decided to stop using those bad word and begin anew. It was hard in the beginning but now, just the other day one of those bard words fell upon my lips and I realised that the wow I haven't sad that word in over 9 months. And as I lock back the gains of stopping using the bad word wasn't only that I gained better manners but I also find the world more pleasant with more vibrant colours. The commute is still boring but I can actually enjoy the scenery outside the window. So with just that small sacrifice a new world slowly appeared for me and with this video you gave me thought. What more could change with small sacrifices?

I can completely relate to this video. This psychological chaos is exactly what I've been going through over the past few months. In my attempt to change my worldview to a more positive, productive, and fulfilling one, I ended up questioning everything and being unsure in myself. I could not stay focused because I was afraid that what I was focused on was coming from the old state of mind I was trying to avoid so I constantly kept losing focus to the point where I felt like I had severe ADD. I felt like I was barely functional. Things took 5 times as long as they would've before because of the mental turmoil I faced overthinking every task, my conversations and relationships suffered because I would constantly lose my train of thought in the middle of almost every sentence, and I literally could not even direct my thoughts in a certain direction without getting sidetracked by some clearly illogical irrelevant thing that felt like life or death to me. In pursuit of a better mindset I lost some fundamental mental functions. I never thought it would get to this point. It felt a lot like my own personal hell. I have made some progress in stabilizing my psyche and trying to create a new structure I can rely on, but I'm afraid I'm starting to slide back into my old toxic mindset I originally set out to escape. At this point I'm conflicted. Should I hold onto any mental foundation I can get ahold of and risk not changing my patterns or should I mess with my subconscious more in hopes of achieving my goal at the risk of completely losing my mind again?

This video made me realize how I’m feeling right now is actually normal and healthy, as I’m reintegrating with post secondary education as a perfectionist; and that I hate not getting things “right” the first time around even though that’s impossible for anyone learning a new skill, makes me feel like I’m unworthy of it. But I think in reality it’s the fact that sometimes I just need things to be re-explained, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to try from another source. My bad mentality also probably has a lot of unresolved trauma I don’t deal with, as healthily as I should, but I don’t think anyone could understand anyways. I don’t bottle it in, but I’m not anxious to talk about it, it costed me my job after all. People don’t like people they can’t compartmentalize, so they don’t bother integrating their needs with the standards of the industry. It’s taken a lot to see myself in a positive light, losing my job, the very first job I ever got, made me feel so worthless, I couldn’t look people in the face. It’s a daily struggle, but I get through. It’s all I can do.

We require chaos. Enough peace. If peace is enslavement than I want chaos which is freedom from what binds you.

Your videos come to me in a form of synchronicity.

Your visuals are so captivating that I became a fan of this type of art

This just happened to me. I was very anxious, depressed, and had very low self esteem. I can remember an extremely stressful event happened to me just recently. I was so stressed that I was crying in bed in the middle of the night. I kept thinking about all types of stressful scenarios and as I was laying there all my anxieties and negative thoughts just washed away. I almost feel nothing anymore. Like some gear broke in my head and those type of emotions don't work anymore. Sometimes they try to pop through but I can literally feel my brain not being able to turn them on. It's like a lawn mower trying to start and it just stalls out. Its a remarkable feeling. I'm not sure which way this will take me. I'm in the beginning stage of this new personality. I hope this lasts because I definitely don't wont to go back to being miserable anymore, constantly hating myself.

One day I will do something for who ever does this content. This is only an articulate way of Expressing what I have been living all my life and specially the last years. Thanks so much.

Can confirm. I didnt know this was a widespread phenomenon. I'm so happy to know

This is absolutely amazing! Having recently went through this, a small part of me still questions my sanity and interpretation of events. I also question my ability to rise from the ashes, but this added some validity to my experiences. Thank you!

"In my shadow, my shadow, change is coming through my shadow"🎼🎵📀

Major life crises usually cause personality changes.

This outlines my personal experience from October 2019 - March 2020. The process is intense. I feel fortunate that I was able to come out on the other side and would say confidently that it very much is a transformation of personality and psychology. This video captures the essence of the process well.

I resonate with the Phoenix, as my life and health were brought to ashes. I have spent six years of my life suffering in sickness and darkness. I was born for this fight, and I am winning! I laid in bed for six years, firing different doctors. Those doctors told me things like " we think you are dying". "There is nothing more I can do , go get on opiates for your pain." If you didn't believe in my ability to heal then you were gone. I am a completely and utterly different human being. I want to spend my life helping others who are suffering find relief, peace, hope and wellness. If the only thing I do is help one other person, than it was all worth it. My personality change was a long time coming, but the actual self reflective changes have happened very quickly. If you are out there in the dark and suffering. Please know you are not alone, and there is a way out of the darkness. NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON YOU! Do not allow what many see as the impossibility of your surroundings, struggles, and pain keep you in the dark. The world, your loved ones and strangers may look at you and give up. But, as long as that fire burns within, you are the Phoenix. And you have the vast ability for change, revolution, evolution, health, and absolute happiness! #PhoenixRising #TheLionsGate #NeverGiveUp #YouAreWorthEverything #FearlessHealing

Wow, I’m fairly certain I had this happen to me going on 10 years ago now. I used to be an extrovert, always joking around and laughing, making friends and hanging out with people, then out of nowhere I did a complete 180 and became an introvert, rarely socialized, have few friends, don’t really laugh or joke around anymore. For the longest time I never knew what happened and why I suddenly did a complete 180, for the longest time I was lost, I didn’t know what was wrong with me, why I was no longer the person that I was. This video hits the nail on the head, if only I had seen/heard of this topic back then I wouldn’t have been so lost for so long, but because I was lost and have begun to find my way I feel that I am blessed with a new sense of resolve and wisdom, more clear headed and more focused. Thanks for the great video. Subscribed!

If you're a rebellious procrastinator, make progress feel like something you're getting away with.

Wow. This has been my 2022. My sacrifice was mostly involuntary. The dysfunction grew too much and I was forced to make was choice. The pain was excruciation. Now I'm accepting the descent instead of resisting it. I am embracing the changes and seeing where they lead. Absolutely fascinating video, thank you for the knowledge and validation!

This seems to be what's happening to me right now. In the last 40 days I've dropped negative habits that I've had for years which I used to think where just part of who I am, thinking that there was no way I could change. Anxiety, chronic marijuana use, binge watching, laziness and porn addiction ruled my life and I gave all my power to those things believing that was all there was too me. It hasn't been that long but I now feel like those things are now truly part of my past, I now feel productive, motivated, full of creativity and look forward to what I can achieve each day.

When going through some of the darkest periods in my life , I come back to your videos. Thank you

Couldn't stop tears from pushing through wile listening to this. I want to say thank you, but I guess, we'll see about that.

When I was taking sociology, my professor showed us data that most major personality changes occurs for men between 20 - 25 and women 14 - 18 during the final development of the frontal lobe.

Why did youtube recommend this to me all of a sudden? It's like they can read my mind or maybe my what's app messages

This sounds like letting go of a coping mechanism and then being faced with the difficulty which forces you to deal with the problem instead of enduring it.

The videos this channel release are just so aligned with what i am Going through , Great content Great Work , BIG UP 💪🏻💪🏻

Im 1.30 minutes in and damn I realized I've hit the gold! I've been searching for content/channel like this for weeks now and I've finally found this hidden gem! Your videos are amazing, thank you!

Since I defeated my poly drug addictions I've gone through extreme changes to my psych. From a pessimistic self centered being, to a uplifting, and giving one. I want to leave knowledge behind for others who might find themself lost in a world of technology. The craving for knowledge is what drives me now. I am beyond thankful for diving into the pits of hell, it is what saved me I believe. I'm so aware, alive, creativity has returned. It's been an amazing journey I'd do it all again.

I love that you’ve put in the time to discuss this! Thank you! 🙏🏼💖

The classical artwork is always a great part of these well-researched gifts. Thank you.

*When the STUDENT is ready - a MASTER will appear*

I just found this channel today and I can't wait to watch every video.

I have done this and advocate with caution. After going through therapy recently for near death child abuse, I was Free with new eyes. 2 weeks later I was betrayed from a friend and after a life long struggle, viscerally, 1st person experiencing what happend.. again.. back to square one. That was 2.5 years ago. It was proof it exists and that's all I need. I know how to do it and it's absolutely worth it. I'm nearly at my 3rd birth and noone can take that away from me.

This video has put words on my intuitions of what is happening to me right now. Thanks academy of ideas, you guys are great.

Right about 3 minutes in is when I realized some things about myself. Great video

When the discomfort of staying the same is greater than the discomfort of changing then change is desired and chosen. I've been at rock bottom and HAD to sacrifice Pride and ego by Submission. I was humbled by the failure of my self determinism. I admitted defeat and reached out. I had to get out of my way. My thinking was and still often is dead wrong but Pride and Vanity wouldn't let me see it. Humility (for me) is the first of the Virtues. Without it change is not possible.
