Thank you so much Russell 🙏

Your book is brilliant! Thank you ✨✨

No censorship! Lol

Russell, what you have to say makes a real difference to me and so many others. Thank you ❤

Thank you for your love, compassion, humbleness, and for your aspiration to find the truth. It would be great if you would deeply learn about religions on your own, I mean to read the scriptures. Thank you for everything!!!

Great way of putting it. Paints with his words.

He's amazing, but he also speaks so abstractly to answer some personal questions. I found him to be a bit evasive most of the time.

I completely agree. You put that perfectly.

Absolutely, no word he speaks is superfluous At the same time, it can also be a huge talent to paint a full picture using only a few words Listening to a Scarface track the other day made me realize how equally genius that is. Using 5-6 words a bar ... 😮

A lot of people in recovery have this trait. It’s so admirable and just shows the possibilities and power in being sober. What a beautiful example.

I think the complex language is also him. He's a verbal communicator, and he's good at it. I believe he feels comfortable there.

@@northofyou33 I think Russell would say something along the lines of us all being multi-faceted wonders of creation with myriad sides to our ever unrealing selves

Dude, my eyes started to well up during that part!

Narcissists are skilled decievers, beware

@rich7398: I don't see it as "a mask , just a reveal of anorher aspect of him, & the love he has for all humanity ( they're not "our" kids.").

Well done hun ❤

Good work. ❤

Great news....well done you.!!

Well done ❤🙏🏼

Report please. Still sober?

We don't need to compete with anything...that's part of the issue.

Yes!! B

thinking 101 : must try harder

Lawlessness

😂😂😂

Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Shrooms helped my son get off opioid ❤

How do I reach out to him? Is he on Instagram

Connected to the highest power.

Positivity sent your way ✨️ ❤🙏

@@jennifermitchell6975 Thank you .

So true! He s brilliant. His lexicon coupled with a deep understanding of humour and its delivery makes him such a good actor and comedian. Also pleased to realize my vocabulary is more advanced then i thought. Listening, not speaking though .

"Masterful command of the English language" you jest? By his own admission he likes using "long words". He is hard to listen to because of all his superfluous waffle.

Millions of words exist because they each convey a shade of meaning. I like words even if YOU consider them "superfluous waffle."

@@paulabrush3517 - normally I enjoy a good command of the English language: Stephen Fry, Richard Dorkins, both the Hitchen brothers. This fool is a mixed jumble of word salad.

@@PaulGappyNorris so why are you listening to him? May I suggest soft jazz? You seem a bit on edge...

Keep at it . Stay strong .

Keep going. You got this

That's awesome! Everyday is a blessing for u. Of course you will have good times and bad times still, thats life, but just remember from the depths of your despair has come your recovery. And you can reach levels of happiness you have never experienced from any drug. Be kind to yourself, praise your courage and never ever give up the dreams you may have wanted before addiction swerved your path. I always say " when life throws u curveballs, and it will, throw that MF back as hard as u can. You are not alone. ❤ ( and eat well and drink loads of water 😂)

Congratulations, keep up the great work. Big hugs.

Well done ❤

Absolutely. He is a real, actual human being, without the hubris of Hollywood. He says what a lot of us are thinking and feeling, in ways that are more eloquent and thorough than some of us can on our own.

That is awesome and Beautiful ❤️

God bless you Ann, please pray for us.

This warms my heart so much 💗 I love that these messages touch so many people and it really does show we're all one. Blessings to you and all 💖

Do you play the banjo when watching his vids?

How amazing and beautiful that is 💗

1:22:32 "Religion shouldn't make you hate other people, religion should make you love everyone...they've all got that written in there. Then, why don't we focus on that bit? Because if people start doing that you can't manipulate and move 'em around on a little chessboard and turn 'em into little consumer blobs." So much YES.

Yes, I agree! Speaks from his heart. That's why so profound, rich and valuable.

The man is the medicine we need. ❤

Such a great interview

It speaks to his recovery work and healing.❤

Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!

Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

Is he on instagram?

Yes he is. dr.sporesss

Right!!

YES!!! He’s a role model for young and older!! It’s refreshing he’s not like the entertainers in Hollywood- leftist puppets.

Thats true but trying to sound too clever just prolongs the monologues made by one trying to make a simple point. You could of said what you said in 15 words. Efficient word selection is a bigger skill. Your sentence actually doesn't make sense by the way. No hate, just an observation. 'Points to an intellect that remains complete control' is where you went wrong.

You are joking right, or maybe you are American and easily impressed by some long words and misused vocabulary?

@@aldozilli1293 If you are saying Americans are READILY impressed with long words and proper use of vocabulary which bespeaks of intelligence, yes. no joke intended.

What a beautiful soul he is. I really love his true self. It shows that it feels so good to him 💗

One day at a time. Sometimes one hour at a time. Then, 5 minutes at a time. That’s good enough for all of us. God bless you.

​@@mR-dc4oq💯% Spot on.. 🤝🏻

Damn, well said.

Day 60

How are you now?

He made a lot for how ppl look at it. Sometimes ex addicts contribute themselfses to stigma with attidute bf 'I was blind now I can see', just means for me defeat of selfawernes.

To tinkbellisima. Well stated! 😂 Thank you!❤

Congratulations...you rock!

38 years addicted to heroin no chance what's so ever of ever getting off heroin being on it that long that's a fact moderating it down to a acceptable level is certainly the best you or they could do and that's another fact.

🙏well done

I was in active addiction of Heroin, Crack and alcohol for 18years!!!! I’m now 11 years sober, it took many years to catch up emotionally etc ….that’s the reality of what he’s alluding to….by the way well done on your 5 sober ❤

Me too !!! Fortunately I've never had addiction issues however I love his message. Congratulations to you on your sober journey.

The nuclear family model is flawed because it's isolated and cut off. Very unwholesome and unnatural. We need to stop overemphasizing biological relationships, we need to urge each other strongly to find our respective tribes. Your tribe is not always your blood family.

I couldn't agree more with your comment. He used to annoy the life out of me but nowadays he really is an inspiration 💜🇬🇧✌

The real world isn't Loli pops & rainbows! Although some of us have empathy for others,it doesn't balance out 😢The cruelty and judgemental ppl are there to prove that we must love ourselves SO we can love others ...In order to awaken we must allow the lack of light thru only showing us the darkness we confront ❤

He is a self confessed narcissist, you should be running. Maybe definition of the terms used to describe Brand should be published at top of article . Narcissistic personality disorder leads to abuse of everyone in the circle. Hmm. Many times Russel has told people to shut up about their own drug addiction while pretending he is a reformed addict. 😊

Yeah.same.

Not sure what's worthy about switching from being a left-wing radical to a right-wing shit stirring liar :(

I hope you saw him when he was on Fox News? That was amazing.

I totally agree. 'Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a heavenly civilisation' [Bahai writings]

His insight on so many subjects is priceless! I don't know where we'd be without him, actually. I've learned SO much from him.

@vickiroberts3469 it's OK. You still have time to learn from others who are honest

Thank you for the insight about the difference between a religious person and a spiritual one. That was a brilliant concept.

@@carolsterritt6104 You're welcome. I've been using this definition for 15-years now.

Well said.

I think Brand is a genius.

@@carolgarrett1786 I completely agree. What an incredible mind, and spirit, was lurking under all the drugs and booze.

It's not that easy to be so vulnerable and revealing. Well done @RussellBrand! Any time someone can take the hardships of their past and turn them into something so inspiriting, as the Buddhist Monks told me, "You've won!" I've save the interview to share with the kids at risk I'll be taking to Belize to complete their high school education! You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful

He’s awesome!!! ❤❤🙏🙏

Yes he verbalisés how I feel Love this guy He speaks to many he speaks to me and I hope he speaks to you

He did the same in Whetstone on the Sweets Way Estate, coming along when residents were camping out overnight to try and stop being evicted from their homes to make way for new developments. Russell is a living legend and such an interesting man

I hope the interviewer would consider not affiliating with any authoritarian organisation. It just isn't worth selling his soul for money. Let's hope he comes to that realisation and grows as a person.

​@@mral4381can you elaborate?

Same here. I can’t believe how much insight RB has into so many topics that are relevant in our society today. He’s a top guy.

I agree 👍

​@@user-gs7or4fi2nHe's a shill Triple 6s . He's spouting things we already know He's no savior Anyone can look up this stuff. He works for them

You're so welcome! Team DOAC Xx

I cant belive you even considered interviewing this sex predator. Im leaving your channel. He is so narcissistic. If your were truly healed Brand you'd embrase nearly crying as a genuine natural emotion of vulnerability not to be censored. Just because you have embellished your life as a guru dosent mean I cant see though your deflecting facade about society and media's negative influences on your life. Be brave and own up.

you think they will allow that?

Yes

100 %

Wow! So incredibly well said 🎉🥰🥰🥰

@@latriciadrake7770 thank you ☺️🙏🏼

This was brilliant - I got so lost in trying to work out what Russel was saying that I wouldn’t be able to form the next question. We’ll done SB

So True

Wow! Wonderfully said 👏🏾💫💚

Beware , he is a narcissist, they are incurable

The soul is harder to heal than the body.

It's never too late! I truly wish you the best on your journey! Much love!

Awareness is the first and most important step

I hope you find your inner peace ❤

Thank you all for your kind words

Probably come in handy in the prison canteen

I was literally about to say this very same thing when I came across this comment.

Rapist.

@@ebonyjohnson1580 what one? about the canteen?

He had been There and done it.

It's easy to listen when conversing with someone as clear and well spoken as Russell

Steven is awesome at this, I've watch so many of his interviews so thoughtful, great listening with reciprocal talk and more thoughtful questions

I agree 100%. Steven’s quality listening is a demonstration of his great intelligence.

I totally agree! Not alot of people can do that or slow down enough to realize it. Some of the questions he comes up with are unreal and being able to take it to another level creates this podcast to be unique and real. You get to know the guest speaker and Russel.

And anyone trying. Don't give up on the journey

How about those that try?

I try every day. I'm a whole lot better this year than I was last year. I'll never stop trying.

@@yuiopoli9601😊

I think he must give hope to those who battle the pain that has led them to addiction the concepts he puts forward can be used by anyone it just takes awareness & compassion for yourself .........spirituality fills our whole existence you don't need to believe in a religion or their version of god ......but it is who we are inside

1:10:14

😂 I just wrote that down. Resonates so hard!!

I'd love to do all that or some of it each day but I'm not dedicated enough.

Beautiful to hear :) Where can we find this meditation?

​@@earth.gratitudethey are all on his utube channel.

@phoenixstylex he has 2 channels on here and one judt fully focuses on meditation yoga and all things spiritual. Awakening with Russell brand.....Peace

Peace

I would imagine you are not alone . I believe Russell has glimsped Humanities future , which is Unity in Diversity under GODS UMBRELLA. Millions of good hearts and souls from EVERY NATION and EVERY CREED are moving towards a beautiful of unity

Yes, he has a gift.

Agreed

Well said

Except his channel has now become an echo-chamber. He has a clear business model - rope in the right-wing Americans. I don't mean that the current "left" are good by that statement. Note what topics he doesn't address that are of huge importance - you'll see those are no-go or uninteresting topics for his chosen audience. He has been spreading some nonsense of late. Started out well. what a pity. Is he still addicted to fame and money?

​@spiral-m no i don't feel that. He calls out the left as they are most vocal and especially in the US are in charge. Not falling for the left and their narrative needs to be called out and the moment anyone does they are branded right or far right which is pretty laughable.

So true. Dude is a modern day bard.. his talks on his channel helped me get out of addiction so I can't describe how much I admire him. Sadly his movies also inspired me to try drugs and alcohol as a teen lol I had a crush on him at 15 so I thought anything he does (in movies... I lived in neglect and movies "taught" me about reality), I should do.... not good. And then his perspective helped me get out 😂

@@rosemadder5547 damn. Well I’m glad you’re doing better now. It’s all about growth and learning from everything to be better. Cheers to you!

@@borodel619 yes were all worth it and need to keep fighting

Long as by "humanity" you don't include the oppressed sure

@@UntetheredBanshee what's he done to the oppressed (whoever they are) specifically?

@@emmanuelwil-jeffyou’re only “worth it” if you’re fighting. Few do, therefore few are.

Agreed. He's congruent on all levels.

Well said, I agree.

russell and stephen are on another level!

@@carplife5225 Interesting watching the interview with Deepak Chopra too. Russell and Deepak have clearly arrived at similar conclusions from different childhood experiences. Many different paths lead to self-discovery.

He's not one-of-a-kind -he's one of billions of addicts. The behavior is all out of control. Whether screwing over Katy Perry or the girl down the street, doesn't matter. Perhaps you may be surprised what actually goes on in your neighborhood He's a commoner. An addict. Who hurt a lot of people and then got nice teeth Probably his most exceptional quality is being a Brit with nice teeth

You should read his books! They’re so incredible. Homie who commented before me just a real negative person who obviously hasn’t been thru a whole lot in life.

@@fitbroomdisagree, he probably is an addict as well who understands both sides. I’ve been through tons more than Russel. When you survive it you can actually learn far more than most people ever will. It is one of the greatest teachers. He got lucky to get out of that life fairly early. But he always got substitutes in other forms rather than conquering it. Plenty of people have more wisdom but aren’t ever heard from and put into the spotlight. It may very well be you that hasn’t been through enough yet. I would have a slightly different take than that guy but I can understand where he is coming from. I wouldn’t be so negative I guess, but I get the anger. The propping people up like this is not healthy either. If you were at the level of some of us then you would not idolize like so many do here in this comment section. It’s just not right.

@@YourMomsBestBoyfriend Really EVERY one of us is a "one of a kind", literally,, at least as far as we know right now. (There could be multi dimensions wth many more versions of the same ME existing in each 1 for all I know.... but....) So there's nothing wrong with seeing any person as a one of a kind, because they are. #2) EVEN every addict is still an individual who's FAR different from every other addict or person. "Addict" is a descriptor of a person, one of them but it's not WHO or WHAT the person IS, it is a part of that person, a quality they (at present) may have. So the commenter above who dismissed billions of addicts, that person themselves is likely addicted to something; even if they don't or haven't ever acknwledged it, whether it's a drug, alcohol, tobacco, food, sex, gambling, video games, phone sex, being on the internet, their cell phone or shopping..or something we don't know about yet. It's mankind's battle to NOT become addicted to anything or anyone. More knowledge is needed about WHY all the addictions happen so easily to so many people, because we need to know more about how to prevent them ever starting and how better to help those who want to quit, because sadly in this country there is NO help if you have NO health insurance, REAL insurance and how many addicts do you think have health insurance or even have full time jobs? Even when an addict does have Healh Insurance it's a good bet that their policy dosen't even cover addiction treatment or rehabs, which charge absolutely RIDICULOUS prices to admit a patient no matter how dire their situation is. They'll send aVERY SICK, near death person (oh wait, they're just an "addict" as the guy said, guess it's easier to think like that than to think about how it's a person, a citizen, or a 19 year old that our government helped to get them addicted by allowing crooked Pharma. Co.'s to lie & push heroin level opiods on mllions across the nation, including hundreds of thousands of young people/ teens (on Soc. Sec.Disability Ins. for healthcare here), but then Conngress sat by allowing hundreds ofthousands to die, not caring about the millions the drug has killed, not providing ANY help for citizens whose lives were ruined by the drug they intentionally alllowed to ravage poor annd sick people, to get off the opiods now. So called rehabs send VERY SICK, near DEATH people off to Emergency Rooms, where they'll give them something to stabilize them JUST ENOUGH to get them out of the Em. Room's doors, and bck home, if they have a home... they wake up in withdrawal again. I understand the anger they might be feeling, many addicts do a lot of horrible things. I myself have been put through hell in my lifetime by a few addicts who did different things to me or my loved ones, but it's far more complex issue than lumping them into one category & condemning them. If you've ever been addicted to anything then you know why and if a person has not & they do not even try to put themselves in another's shoes to see the immense suffering they're going through at all, that most had no idea they were getting themselves into until it was too late to avoid it.... Well often there are hard lessons ahead for those who can not have any compassion.

Yes, thank you, I will be subbing and watching❤

I think that Russell has an incredible mind, the way that he throws words together in a poetic way to reveal deep meaning is truly unique, he is a like a modern-day Rumi.

Yes, I recognized this too. I enjoyed hearing him articulate his thoughts. I also enjoyed hearing him talk about God!

meh, he's just Britsh 😂 it wouldn't sound as good coming from an American

And considering we're all addicts, in one form or another, everyone should watch this, seeing how much there is to take away and apply to our struggles, frustrations, and day-to-day lives. ♥

Seriously ! That itself is a humongous gift! If I could speak like this!! No introvert needs 😂

I’ve blown into these same ideas, it’s kinda 🌰 when Yourself starts with ideas., and he find other people who actually have researched these ideas….then you realize it’s not just “ideas” it fascinating how it occurs increments 59:31

I am so sorry you went through these awful events, but kudos to you for persevering. Of course you feel on edge, tense, and defensive. My hope for you is to come to know Jesus as your savior who gives the peace of the Holy Spirit. It is the only peace that is real, and with Jesus and His peace, I’ve been able to not feel anxious and unsettled. Hugs to you.

Hug! You have known how people can be at their worst and so it may be hard to hear the love that Russell Brand has for all people. I hope that at times you are able to let down your guard with someone you trust.

Very brave to put this into words.. and you also have a great insight and I think it will get so much better for you xx

@gaysy1st - I'm so sorry for everything you've been through and yet grateful that you're still here and able to bravely share your story with us. I pray that you get to live the rest of your life in peace, love and deep, abiding joy. Know that you are enough, you are wonderfully made, you are priceless and you are loved beyond measure 💗.

I can identify whole heartedly (and physically) with so much of what you said. I am in a state of intense anxiety at all times. My body is never relaxed and I am on high alert with literally every passing millisecond. Life is hard enough without having gone through such terrifying, blatantly abusive experiences at such a young age. Sending you virtual tight bear hugs (or loose, if it feels safer) and healing vibes to you. Time for me to start my journey of self healing as well ♥️

To be fair, this comment hasn’t aged well…

Congratulations! Getting free is the best! We gotta be careful how we choose to define ourselves - what persona (mask) we get cozy with. I stupidly chose to become the party hearty wild-man. That guy liked to hit himself in the head with every hammer available. Then hate the results. Yep. Should’ve been wise and put on the humble servant of all mask. Next life…

Some of us have to stay in the system. Lots of what Russell says is great but being anti-authority can be dangerous. Rebellious behaviour has unfortunate outcomes if there's little support and/or money. Or FAME!

Frighteningly true, your last line.

What a beautiful expression of gratitude! 🙏💖
