we have lots of problems to motivate us for meditation and today I have prepared the PowerPoint presentation to explain the depth psychological background so have joyful watching
0:15
welcome today I'd like to talk about motivation related to meditation let's start with the presentation first of all I wanted to introduce a motivation expert it's not what you have to expect this is a motivation expert because as you can see it's playing with the sand a little bit in the hands and he's just in the moment he's watching the sea and like playing with the guard and don't
0:46
consider about the dirt and you know it's not so involved in his mind like us adults and therefore he also has no problems with being motivated or anything because he just does it what he does but he's not so much in doing like us he's more in being he's just there and when he considers or not really considerable when he decides to play with the sand and he plays with the sand and there is no reason for that it's just a decision like nonsense we would say it's nonsense but for the
1:24
children it's maybe it's like doing meditation you know it's not to consider what he does so you can see this is a motivation expert he's always motivated he meditates he watches to see you don't have to close your eyes for meditation because it just relaxes and prays a little bit of the sand and so this yeah you can say it's a motivation the next aspect why this one is an in motivation expert compared with us who are in most cases not motivation experts because
2:02
when you consider you wake up in the morning and the first part comes and it says oh no not a day but at this one could you imagine there is no such fraud like not a day I don't want to say I want to sleep more and you know okay sometimes they treat more but often they start to cry in the morning some even the whole night because they are motivated they want something they are they are really motivated they don't have problems with them and here this I wanted
2:36
I I don't I don't know why he's sitting but I guess that maybe he tried to learn to go and fall down and everyone is sitting but he's motivated he stands up again yeah okay there's another one where I haven't found another picture so he stands up and doesn't cry again sometimes they cry and one minute later they have forgotten the reason why I have Christ but this is because they are freed from the mind which is always blah blah and judging the thoughts and
3:09
having negative thoughts and then judging the negative thoughts and downward spiral and negative emotions and more downwards power you know they are free from it they fall down
3:18
and even some don't cry and they stand up again and then they try again and they fall down and stand up hold on stand up they don't sit there and say oh no I don't want to learn going again it's it's so I I'm falling down three times in a row and now it's over I will never go again
3:39
yeah they don't have such mindsets like us when we have three times in a row not so much luck we give up but they don't give up but then the point comes as you know from the other videos education comes they go into school when they are six or so some you know some early and some later and from that time they start to begin to think to really be or to start it before when you learn to speak but at school you learn mindsets you learn how they have to behave how they have to
4:19
think what they have to think and they give them they give them all the conditions all the beliefs what they believe all their life you are this bad person which is always the starving collection we blame someone and again and again and you know and this person believes it or they blame someone you are not good enough you're also bad at school and this person believes the whole life he's not good enough and then in the work the same problem and then he really does not have
4:51
success this person is not good enough because this person believes that he's not good enough and so he will never have any motivation at work
5:03
and when he later gets to burnout or whatever or any reasons appear and if this person would start with meditation then there is also this lack of motivation and this person doesn't know why but there is still this unconscious belief in the person which says you're not good enough you are not good enough you haven't reached your touches in life you haven't reached you know good marks you haven't reached your targets and what and now even with meditation you are so bad you're
5:36
not good enough this is just one case irana cases too for a lack of motivation but maybe some people have this unconscious belief I'm not good enough but most problems with motivation especially also for meditation comes from unconscious areas from beliefs from conditions we have learned at school
5:58
and also from conditions from society when someone for example is overstimulated from social media and suddenly you wanted to start meditation because you know you heard that everyone does it and you know and then the problem is meditation appears boring for this person because the person is over stimulated but in this case the person especially needs meditation to calm down from all this over stimulation from this addictions to digital media or social media or whatever digital
6:30
media includes video games I'm not um I don't want to make ads here this antennas more and more because it entails into a virtual life I have made an extra video about it let's come to the next and last motivation expert you know all this they are very motivated because they are like primitive people in early mankind too like just striving for food and you know this basic stuff
6:55
and there is also no problem with meditation you also know the cats at daytime when they are laying around some people say cats are the best zen Masters they know how to relax
7:08
most kids are relaxing the whole day that belongs to cats but it should also belong to people
7:17
so kids are not just motivated for the food cats are also very motivated or relaxing and they don't they are not bored you're not over stimulated because they don't have a mind which is always striving for I wanted more information I wanted more fun in the game so you know the kid has little fun with catching the mices and so and then it can lay down and relax there is not still the mind which thinks about the past oh there was this mouse and I haven't
7:47
got this mouse and now I'm angry because I didn't get his mouth because when we don't have success we are always uh in the past and arguing about that or even if we have success we can't we can't calm down because we are so excited but the cat is the master and being motivated for meditation
8:10
this is from a psychological lexicon but there are other aspects too I will add them additionally after that shoots and instincts this is actually the same you can the best see at animals when they are hungry but also at the earliest mankind but actually it is also there in US it is not that some it is primitive but we still have it not that it's the cause you know you also have still brain Parts which the earliest mankind have you have additionally other brain parts
8:49
now but you also have the old ones and therefore you also behave like that but we have also the new ones which stops us a little bit and so well not now not now we don't have to eat now too much not good for us we have to do some Fitness also you know we have a choice and the cat has not a choice when it was the food and it was the food so it's more primitive is a big problem today however there's a big problem most people most of the time run on autopilot mode
9:27
the almost all the time who thinks and don't consider about it but it doesn't mean that they are enlightened and everything is like blowing also it's not the case this is just also more like subconscious it goes automatically even conscious things even thinking is involved but even thinking goes automatically when you consider you react often to things you see a person or a situation and you automatically judge if you want or not
9:59
there are even some people which can't stop to say something say things to blame the other one automatically some people really can't stop it and can't just think the negative thought about the person but even that is not the best way as you know but it's better than to blame the person so yeah and this is from Habits this is from the habit and that's the worst habit you can have all other habits no problem when you go every morning brush your teeth and you know no problem
10:30
with habits but negative habits are there too and this is from the ego and this is like automatic reaction with negative thoughts automatic judgment on others on yourself whatever the first thing in the mirror in every morning and especially maybe for women but also some men like maybe standing there and they are not swarming up they must become strong and you know the first thing you see in the mirror and the first thing is you judge why don't do that you are perfect as you are
11:04
which is um that's different sometimes it comes from shoots too when you were hungry this is kind of a wish yeah but it also can come from thinking and from having wishes because you considered I want this or that you know this is but I will go deeper into it but I will go deeper into it and on the next page the big and very big problem with what we suffer from our values because we all have
11:35
values and attitudes we think things must be this way people which are very entangled in their ego just focus one thing and this is the only truth and all other aspects or all other perspective use opinions around that's a big problem what many people have they just believe that there is this one opinion this is my opinion and this is true in all others are wrong or another attitude you
12:08
judge something as bad you say for example living in a little chaos is bad and everything must have an order yeah that's that's kind of a habit too but when you have this in your mind and to blame others then it's more a value problem because you say just order is good and chaos is bad but then you live one side but the coin as you know has always two sons and the life is like that like accepting the other side too or take a magnet where you have a
12:40
magnet and you cut the magnet still has no open self pull then there are two magnets new Southport both sides are still there whatever you do you can't flee from reality just through meditation and to finding yourself go in the direction of Enlightenment there is freedom from Duality but as long as you are here as long as you're thinking peeling and talking you are in The Duality and there the coin has always two sides the next one is interest I will go
13:26
deeper into it later and this is additionally for me when they are not fulfilled recipes stress is not as bad it's also actually effective for motivation it wasn't the earliest mankind very useful when you run away from a tiger also therefore stress is not that bad but we could also make a full session about stress and also say that stress could also be very bad as you know
13:52
so this is what I wanted to show you now I found out that actually the first ones are more unconscious and the last ones are more conscious because interests is really yeah but actually interest could also be when you consider a cat has the interest to go no this is another interest it's just an instinct yo so this is right now here but I think the wishes is like therefore I put the line there because the wishes it could be
14:20
from a shoot could appear first there is to shoot and then you have the wish to get food or it could also be a wish from what you have considered and what you what is more or less conscious from human consciousness we're just talking from human consciousness because higher Consciousness has no wishes there's no values and I think I don't know if it is I think it has interest but it will it will show you what your interests are I will show you your
14:49
purpose and then you know what your hobbies are or what your tasks are also what your job has to be so your values sounds first of all bad because other people love their values and attitudes and I have so good attitudes and all the other people are so bad but I have good attitudes and I want just strive for good things you know this is also trap and if I say that Hyatt said well I am going to this is not trapped in attitudes and race it has highest values because it's beyond
15:22
good and bad it is just highest and therefore it doesn't put people in boxes or categories or so but the Mind values are not so good all the time even if they are conscious but it's just human consciousness and therefore often very egocentric even if you really believe you have the best attitudes but I will go to the ego stuff in a few minutes let's first look to the unconscious because I have already said that things are conscious and things are unconscious yeah
15:57
the point is you you can see in the iceberg model from Sigma right here but Sigmund Freud hasn't painted I have painted this time but generally is students uh which were later also psychologists and Outdoors they have created this one to explain right teachings better but Droid has never painted such an iceberg he has just written books and it was not so easy to read also for me therefore
16:32
you know and his students then decided to maybe one head this inside of having this ice burn but such and sites often come from most of the time actually always come from higher Consciousness and I think this inside was also when this person had written his stuff or listened his lectures
16:56
and suddenly this person got the inside we can write we can paint it as an iceberg and I've also tried to clean it and I extra leave the picture open underground because I wanted to show that the iceberg is actually bigger than I can present here so the unconscious is huge
17:21
once said that the unconscious when you compare it with conscious the Consciousness is just five centimeters compared with 100 kilometers or so this is when you maybe this can help to understand how big the unconscious with 100 kilometers and the Consciousness is just human consciousness it's just a few centimeters that's the problem we just see the world through a small Keyhole we just see the people but we don't see the rest and that's the problem and therefore we are kind like
18:02
slaves from the mind because we believe and we trust so much in human consciousness because we we are so entangled and believe what we think is right and you know all that stuff and I wanted to explain here that the higher self is very deep in the unconscious hidden also but it's not but actually the highest level it's higher Consciousness actually you must say it is here like in the heaven but for us it seems like unconscious when you find it the very first time
18:37
because we we have never considered that and we have never feel or were never connected to the ISF and therefore it seems like unconscious but it's not unconscious it's just unknown for us but actually it's higher but some say it's in the unconscious but it's actually wrong what some psychologists say and what I wanted to present and to tell here now because it's not the case but most cases what psychologists say all right and are good to understand
19:09
for example wisdom is also here in unconscious areas and philosophers which have access to wisdom there is the barrier the water what what I try to make you clear that here's the ends the water
19:24
it's Ground Zero here and you can open this water and go a little deeper and have connection to your unconscious areas through meditation and therefore we meditate it's a very big aspect to develop because most people are just suppressing they don't want to see their emotions they don't want to see negative for us they always try to suppress but then when you suppress you wonder you want just this perfect controlled
19:55
conscious life this is the ice the top of the mountain here this is your perfect controlled five centimeter length your your Keyhole yeah and people just strive for that they have control their whole society the whole civilization is like we control everything yeah we take we have found it this street and we added traffic lights and you know that we have the control about it yeah in some case it's good and it's working well so but for the human soul mm-hmm if you have you have
20:32
to consider there is still the unconscious which wants to show us actually the highest wisdom and the higher self but this is what what the unconscious wants it is not that it wants to blame us and show us negative emotions the problem is when you the first time have access to the unconscious your emotions come first because they are not that High stuff like wisdom also and they are not that unconscious they are often in the pre-conscious this refers to different
21:06
personalities uh pre-conscious is like it's very close to conscious and it's very close to ground zero and you have easy access then to the rest what is even more hidden and unconscious it is also unconscious therefore it's under the water line but pre-consciousness or pre-conscious is what is Scrabble for the conscious what can what is ready to become conscious and to let the top little grow and here are several methods through meditation you can have access very fast here
21:39
through dreams too if you don't meditate you will suffer again and again from even more nightmares and worse nightmares and you know because they want to show you something they want to show you something and you don't want to see and I don't want to have nightmares anymore but I want to show you and Freud and all day all the psychologists said that the pre-conscious and dreams are so
22:05
dreams have such a high value we don't see that in earlier times in religions and so they they saw dreams as a big thing some prophets also had very interesting dreams which helped this whole society or his whole faults from you know which saves the cause from things and brought to fall to God and so dreams have ever been useful but nowadays we they once started to say dreams are useless and this is not good because dreams can say you something if you interpreted in the right ways
22:43
when you're for example dream about a person which you don't like you must consider it has never to do with this person truth is that the person stands as an image as whatever you don't like maybe something which you reject on yourself when this person is maybe an angry person maybe you reject to have anger in your unconscious areas because you were perfect in suppressing anger but it comes in the dreams and it shows you and then you wake up and you are
23:20
confused like that and yeah you will see the unconscious influences you if you want or not
23:31
and in the deepest areas are the most interesting things but the pit is that in the not so deep areas there are classical Gates all the suppressed stuff we don't want to see yeah we are just serious Duality we just want the good stuff we suppress the bad ones we just want good emotions we suppress the bad emotion we just want good for positive thoughts with the press the negative with all that suppressed stuff that negative stuff first of all comes directly
24:00
to you when you start to meditate and then you're well I don't want to meditate again after my life it's so hard it was so I was frightened or you know that's the first times of meditation and that's a big problem that most people again and again stop to meditate and say oh no that was to add from I have seen like negative emotions over you know you know you must learn to bear that that's that's a hard way but when you come through that first things which shows up
24:35
you will really find first of all the inner peace you know then in a Harmony between your sword Parts I will go to the engaging stuff later now and you will really have a good life then
24:52
but the more you have suppressed in your life it is hard to post something to meditate but in some cases it's not that hard maybe it's just the very first time which not so which is not so good but the second time is perfect and you suddenly get the inner peace and you know but the inner business is not the highest aim but it's our first positive results and you have never had such a peace before you will say oh that's good let's go deeper and one day you find the highest staff
25:26
and then you will also say to people meditate more it's good
25:34
yeah the problem is the mind I want to I want to explain this now
25:39
because we think too much and we get a headache like this woman I don't know headache or like doubts like uh so you know so it's more like doubts I think so and this one doesn't consider because there is no conditioned mind and beliefs which are related to the mind and from which come you know from education and so and this one is just like doing things and you must consider that he doesn't eat the dice also yeah that's actually it's easier and easier life and the other one the
26:15
woman there is suffering from the mind like it seems like she's suffering from the mind also just judge something there just so and things happen like they happen and then she suffers
26:28
yeah but I want first before I explained the negative aspects of ego I first wanted to explain the advantages of the mind and I also come to that that the mind is actually related to the ego but I will come to that later let's say it's actually it's the mind but the Mind itself is not guilty it is actually because it is controlled by the ego therefore that's the problem there is a teaching in Psychology which is actually called cognitivism and there you can find
26:59
the positive aspects of the mind you need it for in your everyday life for concepts for calculating you know you need you take these things and you want to count things and you have to because we have a money system right I can't do the money system and so we need Concepts and we need this thinking function and therefore it is good it is also good to understand and for learning just think now this maybe belongs to children but this can also belong to parents or to adults in
27:31
general even very old ones you are when you are open for the life you are open for learning your whole life and to develop but when you say with 20 over 25 on some people say no I'm ready now I'm ready and I am working and I'm just striving for having a smartphone every year new one or every few months whatever and that's all and it you see it doesn't make you lucky but you strive for the next one okay then um leave it here now please but you are still there and therefore
28:07
you know about things like that and that there is something like a potential in US
28:13
we have when you compare it with animals they don't have why do we have compared with our body the rest of the body such a big brain
28:24
there is something more and this is also uh in the new course the pre photo cortex what they say which is kind of a you know door which maybe should Neuroscience Explore More because there is the potential there is maybe the aspect which leads us to the higher Consciousness okay as you all know I don't have to say anything it's the amount of thinking overthinking we have talked about in all videos overthinking mind wondering all that stuff yeah and what does it produce and
29:00
produce doubts and lamentation you know this is all mind work first of all in some cases it's good but then Duality comes and then you have a bad day and you know like like works and you're suffering
29:18
because it's Duality and it goes automatically if you want or not there are people who just strive all the time in the social media for positive stuff positive positive positive but the negative side of the coin is also there and if you just strive for positive emotions positive thoughts you suppress the other side all the time but it grows it grows in the subconscious area and suddenly when it comes all together when you for example it's that the very first time with
29:53
meditation then boom yeah it's too much yeah and this is the aspect I have meant before this is that ego influences the mind and therefore we have all the problems which I have named here
30:09
and when we go back to the points from before from the psychology lexicon our shoots are still influenced from ego because at the Primitive once the ego was very active and is still and still influences today also in Harvest as we have already said the wishes are actually all from the ego because has no wishes anymore it has just wish that the world is good and that other people also start with meditation and you know that we all can have a good word and live conscious here really
30:48
conscious but that's the only wish if there are any wishes in from a higher Consciousness because in the higher conscious to just enjoy whatever is you love everything as it is even if you are in a bad situation you can love the enemy no problem with that suddenly wherever you are you always feel safe when you consider Jesus also wanted to show that with his sufferings and so but if people
31:14
haven't grasp that for 2000 years so psychology or Neuroscience have to explain you a little more and here is a big problem which causes which the ego causes ego takes the values for expectations on others ego wants others to be different or to do things or to not do things what they are doing the ego ones this has also something to do with that the ego loves control and it's just not controls the own life and wants the perfect life like that everything is going and has to go and
31:54
has to work and you know this conscious area this type of the mountain which is perfectly controlled
32:01
ego also want us wants others that they also behave in the order I want that's the big problem because everyone has several values and attitudes and everyone wants others this way and therefore we have trouble with others because we have expectations but we also have expectations on our own and we make our own life like a burn or even like a hell when we have expectations like I must be perfect at school or at University I must have the best Mark and you know you can
32:41
have two high expectations and in nowadays in most societies it's a big problem that we have to high expectations on ourselves and on others yeah let's go deeper in the ego I wanted to say and that's the basic point that no one or very few people just know and just consider actually it is said that everyone has an ego that's for psychology it's a fact and there's enough evidence on it but the ego is just a part of the consciousness just a small a very
33:21
small part for a very small area of our life which is perfectly controlled but there is much more
33:32
there's a whole soul there's a whole Consciousness but even death people don't consider most people think they are just the body that's all and when they consider her I'm thinking what is thinking thinking actually belongs to the soul to the ego but when I'm thinking thinking belongs to the brain and brain belongs to the body so I'm just a body that's all but it will suffer with this mindset when they die when they grow older or when they got sick or ill or whatever
34:02
it would suffer like you know all the suffering put in his name illness growing olds and death that are the basic sufferings between that there are also every life sufferings but they are just the more values you have the more wishes you have and all that is not fulfilled therefore you suffer but this is just small stuff the biggest things are about healthiness are about growing older you consider about time to use your time and don't waste it that you don't say it to death but I
34:38
haven't used my time in the right ways and then the death this is an essential topic but of course young people don't consider it but you do because you are on such a channel and you are still there and you love to know more about it because you want to reduce suffering for you and maybe for your friends and your followers with which you can share stuff which you learn here and then then even more people can benefit from that or in the best case my wish is that you share this
35:10
channel but just share it with the right people it doesn't make sense when you share it with anyone yeah people you know which are not but maybe you don't know maybe there are some from which we think it would not be interested in such stuff but suddenly they change their mind and say oh that's not so bad whatever you do I trust you you do the right things you do the right things share it or
35:32
not what I wanted to say that notcha it is not just that most people don't consider to have an ego most people even consider even don't consider that they have any Soul or Consciousness or something like that soul is like an old term this is often used in Old philosophies and in religion and therefore most people which are nowadays not so religious don't consider a soul but I don't also like the term psyche because of psyche this is actually it's an older word because it comes
36:03
from ancient Greek but the medical branch has spoken this word and when I hear or read psychi I first thing which appears is like something with mental illness and so I don't want you know but this was also my problem I also thought that I'm just a body afforded I think 20 years or so of my life because I was educated like that and suddenly I I got it the question and then the first time you start to consider I have a psychological disease they say it's a psychological what is
36:36
psyche and you consider okay you know that's soul you don't know why you know that but something in you knows it suddenly you know like okay there is such thing like a soul otherwise I couldn't get a mental illness and then you start and then I started no I started to um interest me for psychology earlier because I saw a person with the psychological disease and it and I was frightened from this person and therefore I was very motivated to learn psychology and I started in an
37:09
autodidactical way but later I officially started to study so because I wanted to know more about me too not just about other persons therefore yeah but everyone really has also an ego not just the soul is okay from maybe religious people I have seen religious people they say I have a soul and yeah and I'm developing and I'm so bored and you know everyone has one yeah but in that cases they don't accept that they have an ego they think they are already freed from people and that's
37:41
a big problem and it's also a big problem in fake gurus and fake yogis or you know like people they they believe they are enlightened because of Good Deeds or of even in Christianity you have people in Christian communities they are very active overactive yeah you know you see the problem right it comes from their mind I must do something they are very far away from their being which is
38:09
actually the connection to God or by yourself they are so lost and doing and in helping others and they believe that when you're just too good deeds they are holy they are Freed From Evil and they don't have any ego but what I say is even the good sheep which go every Sunday English when they meet together sometimes it looks like you know when sheeps uh they are all so cute and so lovely and
38:38
do good things and go into church and but even those ones have an ego too if they want or not
38:45
and they know it they know it when they do good deeds and dualities there the other side of the coin they do good deeds but suddenly they they are very aware because praying people are praying is also kind of meditation and praying people are also are very aware have a good development in the Consciousness but uh just you know entangled from dogmatic stuff and so that's a problem but generally they are not that bad it's not so bad away but the problem is
39:19
they just want to be good and they don't accept as long as they are in human consciousness that there is another side of the coin and then they won that they have a good awareness they can see their own thoughts then observe their own thoughts it's a very good thing in praying people like kindness go to this religious people and then they C negative thoughts and then they suffer and then they go to
39:46
psychotherapist or to you know pastors to similar things so you can also have a free Psychotherapy at a priest so that that's possible so they go there and they try to talk about that and yeah but it's not a good psychotherapist I think because then he says yeah uh maybe you are far away from God and you must be good and why are you negative Maybe the priest even judges the person you know
40:16
if it if it is a bad therapist so be careful with that but even the non-Christian the normal psycho psychotherapists not all are good but nowadays they are so full that most people are glad to get any appointment with any one of them and so it's very hard to find a really good one
40:36
so for this foil it's actually it's so easy and I don't want it to overflow you with scripture or with text or so therefore I take more pictures than texts and I want you to show with this foil just first of all there is an ego if you want or not and actually there is another point there is a soul there is a whole thing which is bigger than the ego he goes just a small part but most people even don't consider to have a soul or a Consciousness but that's the future
41:10
and neuroscientists are very active in exploring that and I think psychology Neuroscience there is hope in these sciences that it can maybe one day explain the big picture for us
41:26
yeah that's also standard thing from Sigmund Freud you have maybe seen in Psychology teachings but I wanted to integrate it here too you know your ego is splitted and you know that it's not meant that you have uh kind of it's also a psychological disorder that you have several personalities this is not meant here years it is more meant that you have sometimes Sports in you they are against
41:54
others this is confusing because for example the it is more like your inner animal where your drives are where your truths are yeah it is hungry it wants to eat what sex what you know this is it this is the Primitive part then there is a super eagle but this is not better
42:19
because just of the name this is in English I don't know it's not a good name uh I think it's called superego because it believes that it is super but actually it is not it was super in the past when you compare it with the it because first humans I think when you consider a very early mankind you just had it maybe the ego too of course because there's a source of all that and they had just it which was striving for security and food and all that stuff and there
42:53
was this ego which was considering how to get the best food in maybe the shortest time and you know and later we split it a new thing from the ego and then and that was the super eagle so we were split it in three things it's not that the ego disappears and now is now it's three parts they say but it's even it actually is even more splitted in this is just a model which explains something but when you look at your soul they say it's it's split it in Endless stuff and this is
43:30
like an endless inner conflict and endless inner discussion sometimes in you when you you know you stay up in the morning and you stand in front of your clothes and you can't make any decision I have so many clothes but I don't know what to wear today you have in a conflict you think on the one hand you want something comfortable and but on the other hand you want to look good super ego
43:53
wants that you take the best clothes you look good that you know other people think good from you and it wants to take the more more comfortable with stuff like the jogging pants or so to go out and then the ego in most cases makes a decision but it could also be that the superego is more on the foreground and some people which are very strict is super Eagles also the root of moral rules of ethical stuff and but it uses often that ethical stuff that moral rules poor blaming others
44:33
for judging yourself I'm not good enough I must be better I must improve all the time and then it is there and it is hungry and it wants things and you know and then superego is always stopping and so when you don't consider that and other stuff which you have learned here then you are always driving like driving a car but at the same time pressing the brake all the time you go through your life
45:02
pressing both pedals at the same time and that's the problem but let's go deep end it in some cases they write it this way but I don't like this way because here some could think that superego is something better because it's the highest you know and some people could things to pay so maybe in a medieval time when there was a strict upbringing and so they were just striving for being perfect and you know therefore and maybe today too for some people super Eagles in the foreground
45:38
but for what I have now planned I had to write it this way because I want to compare it I wanted to show that actually everything can be conscious pre-conscious and unconscious let's take this example with the superego the superego actually is an unconscious part but it can be very conscious for very strict people really there are some people you know maybe from your everyday life but you're always very strict or always judging others and your that's a an example for someone
46:17
which has a super eagle which is very conscious which is but it's not higher consciousness because of super hours so no it is human it's just in the human conscious it's just in our Keyhole or on our top of the mountain which we believe is the only life
46:36
but actually it is also for some people unconscious maybe for some people it is very conscious in this case it's super Eagles very unconscious but it for most people in the middle is like pre-consciousness can be active suddenly become there but also could be suppressed more there and yeah and actually the ego is more in the foreground for most but all can be in every place and at the same person it can change at the same day it is not that one person
47:07
is always maybe yeah maybe also some people are just in the superego all of the life all the time always judging but there are also some which are switching which are judging in the morning and
47:22
at lunch time they are not judging anymore they are you know more hungry and or in the normal ego just thinking constructive not destructive so yeah it can change and now let's come to the deeper problems of the intro because it identifies with the body I can say it again and again and that's the biggest problem and when you consider rebirth in that case in some religions it's abolished but
47:56
it actually comes from ancient time and it was actually even in early Christianity it was included until Augustine is abolished it about in the year I think about five four hundred four hundred and he was abolished in Christianity but the first Christians have believed in River when you consider you were entangled with your body not just this life but also hundreds of life I don't know how often someone reincarnates
48:32
but there is this body and you identify with it and you don't consider to have a soul actually you have this body just in this life just you consider this life and you want to save it and you want to feed it and you know but this is just a very small part I have said it in that if you stood there is something bigger which is actually I don't know it's endless or so because there is no time in
48:57
the other dimensions when you die and you go on the other damage there is no time we just count in time so but when we come when we take it and say okay there is no time but when we for this example consider there would be time it would be kind of Eternity time let's say 20 000 years it's often taken in religion so but it's more as endless actually but let's say when it's thousands years even then 80 years appears small but we just focused that 80 years to make it a good one
49:38
if we don't Focus that there is something more and maybe we should also Focus that and that's the problem and we identify not just with your body but also with the life story and that's a big problem many people suffer so much because they think always about their past life I mean just this life they had any negative experience and they say it again and again to other people and they love to tell it and they also love to tell it on their own
50:05
and to think about it and this person always wants this negative emotions and wants to cry and I have also said in the other videos so let's go to the next one it identifies with his or her own characterizations and properties yeah this is also belonging to the life history
50:24
because it says always I am this ill person which suffered so a lot and you know this characterization like being ill or being weak and you know this is this is also belonging to Ego and to the life story which so the ego identifies with it but the ego identifies with it just because the ego wants to hold his identity the ego wants to keep this negative identity because when you suddenly want to go out and want to free yourself from that negative stuff
51:01
the ego has to go away and has to leave you but you don't want to leave you and therefore the ego tries to make more and more Illusions about your life history and your identity
51:14
that you are even entangled more and more it finds other layers and newer layers that it froze you more and more in the illusion not just you because you are almost out therefore you have found this channel but most of the people when you consider they are all entangled and believe so strongly that this is all true what what's about their life story and that's so important as everything is so important we can't let it go and that's because ego always wants to keep
51:47
that identity even if it is bad even if you have a bad life but also good ones want to keep that you know from rich people and so but as you can see even rich people are suffering research Reports say that the richest Nations or the richest people have the highest rate of depression are not happy and yeah property is a big problem of Separation because
52:19
the more property you have you think about about that's mine and that's yours and you wanted to have to build a fence post like you know and this we are all educated like that not to share too much with others and so but some are there they are better in sharing and it's not and you know I'm also learning every day to share more not just through YouTube but also in material life so but that's hard for us because we we learn so this is yours and even when yeah
52:52
you've seen small children they they buy several toys for their children and toy and for their children and toys that's yours and it's yours and then they believe it's mine and so ego starts to grow in the very earliest time of the way when you're a baby and you have all these expectations
53:13
and actually for everything I have I have said it in the context of values but you have expectations and yeah that's a big problem and here future and past plays a big role because you also take expectations from the past because for example a thing went well in the past and you expect for the future that it goes well again and what indicates if it doesn't happen
53:45
you are disappointed that's ego working hope is another thing sometimes I I take a look in the Bible also just for birth and then when I see the word hope I wish that I can throw this word out of the Bible from other stuff too hope it's like also like having a bad expectation for a good future but you never know what happens so whether or not to have hope what is actually kind of an expectation best thing is to be open whatever comes even if it is bad be ready
54:27
so you will have a good life then yeah loves control I oh I said it in the context of the top of the mountain but it's generally the top of the mountain is all you know consciously with the human consciousness and we love to control everything the whole civilization is controlled
54:47
and then you break out and say now a step of meditation and I go in monotone places and I can bear silence all no problem but suddenly your friends which are still in the old Matrix you know the film Matrix that was great there was some of the Neo this guy who breaks out of the Matrix this is like when you start with meditation and you are on the way to your eyes or even you have already seen your eyes so you have this connectiveness you had this Union and then you go
55:19
to your old friends which don't meditate and which you know are in that prison in that mental prison still hidden still entangled and still suffering and love their suffering so much and love the control they actually also want to avoid suffering and they don't see that they are even suffering when they love to control everything and but life is like it flows it works and bad things come true the only thing you can do is to learn to Bear even bad things
55:54
and this you can just learn for meditation and not from running away and not all and also not from suppressing which is actually kind of running away because it comes again and again it comes harder it comes harder the more you suppress the more you suppress it grows and grows and when then you see a negative thing again suddenly it overwhelms you you are more angry or more disappointed you know therefore it's good to learn to be a small disappointments too every day
56:27
and to suffer a bit but with meditation you can learn to go in the direction to your higher self and then you don't suffer anymore because this is end of all suffering
56:39
because in this Union you are in the pure love and with the pure love you love everything you don't strive anymore to make anything better because it is now it is not good enough I must do something to make it better this disappears when you are in the highest but the ego is always searching for satisfaction it wants satisfaction like you know a monkey which ones player a dog which wants to play yeah I was always satisfaction and we are sitting there you know when you go for
57:15
the city I don't know where you live but I think it's almost everyone what people are going like zombies like just watching understand [Music] like so like running like this one like for a city so with the smartphone all are so running and like zombies they all want satisfaction all the time because going consciously through the city and being aware about what's going on inside of you
57:43
maybe also what what sounds outside you know being aware what's there what actually is the hero now it's not so important for them and so yeah it's so boring and you know because of the over stimulation because they all strive for satisfaction and yeah and to provide us of all the games to give them the satisfaction and then the recipe is boring but the rest which appears boring and empty is actually the biggest potential and you are on the right way and therefore you are
58:16
here but the problem with the satisfaction goes even deeper because as you know from smartphones and from you know the video games and other stuff it causes addictions and it makes actually even more unhappy for the moment you think when you play you are satisfied and you are happy but because of the over stimulation in long term you need more and more and we also work with emotions in the games and with praisings and and where and with rewards and stuff and then you want more and
58:51
more and or even you don't play a game when you are just when you are on your Facebook profile and you want more likes and you know you want all that rewards and but you want more and when the next day less appears you are unhappy but there is no guarantee that you get more likes each day so sometimes it's less and then and when you are identified and just strive for the satisfaction with the digital familiar or whatever is just an example yeah you can also take a car driver or
59:23
an alcohol drinking you can take any addiction or any satisfaction which is the ego striving for but in at the end it always makes unhappy because you always want more and more and more but there can't be it one day there is the end so for example an alcohol one day your body is you know game over it's a game too you know just one day and then you won another game but this is not so attractive like the first one but you have won the first one already and so there is nothing
59:56
more and then these addictions are always strong for satisfaction at the end it makes unhappy therefore in life with little more monotony would be very good for many people
1:00:09
and yeah the problem from what the ego is actually it's also you can take it for relationships yeah when when you always want to do to have more satisfaction with your partner so and one day the partner will say no it's today it's enough for me so and then you are unhappy and you know disappointed or when you entangle in games also your partner will also be not happy with you when you're just looking on the screen all the time instead of looking to the partner so in in all
1:00:42
cases what I have named about the ego is actually makes worse relationships but this is because the ego is splitted in itself and it is also good in splitting and separating with others but that comes actually from the own splitting inside of you this is also kind of a projection you also see splitting and there are really some kind of narcissists or negative people which try extra
1:01:16
to split people or to produce to make groups of people and you know not not just groups for working or what what are you know there is no negative reason behind that I mean they really try to split people in groups or to split or inside of the groups they try to split people and they try to make that they want people to make trouble and you know some people really like that but that are
1:01:44
very bad people really bad people that are devils they want really to destroy relationships just for fun and that is a real narcissist and here's also the problem with motivation as I already said a healthy mono to me is a good option nowadays everyone especially those ones who play more around with that stuff and doesn't really use it for useful stuff but just for playing or you know
1:02:15
um those ones actually need an extra portion of monotony but nowadays civilization grows and no places for mono to me no desert yeah there are some there's not no people go there and it's hot and it's not so good for living there but we also and still have beautiful forests which are at some Day times not so full not overcrowded by people which want to go for a walk with that dog also if
1:02:48
you can I can recommend to go in the forest about lunch around lunch time because in the morning some people go there for jogging for going with the dog and so evening even more people go there but I think so in the middle of the day there are most people are involved in normal jobs or normal places go in the woods and enjoy monotony and you will see when you enjoy monotony enough you really start to enjoy and to see the small things you suddenly learn to enjoy watching a bird
1:03:27
or a mouse or if you can find a bigger animal like a deer or whatever wherever you come from you see another animal which is not so often present like a bird but even if you see a bird and you stop and you watch the bird and it's so beautiful you learn to enjoy life more because you learn what's in the here and now you really come back to your senses instead of just being involved with the
1:03:58
mind on the screen okay but there is hope I have to talk about all that stuff from Consciousness and from the ego which is just a small part of the Consciousness but there is also the self there and philosophy called the higher self often and psychology especially Carl Young says this serve but it's not too confused with the ego there are some psychologists even they don't see that the Consciousness has more they just think we have the ego and that's all because they just consider
1:04:33
Freud and they take the self as a synonym for the ego when you read psychologists you must be very careful those ones are not so good because they don't defer there's something bigger in us there is something we can develop there is something which makes our lives better we don't have just the ego which is always driving actually it wants a better life for us but it actually it makes more a catastrophe from it instead of making it better so therefore it's better to strive for
1:05:05
the self the true self what you actually are and I have talked about it in lots of videos and it's so important I could I couldn't say it again and again it's so important to go in that direction and this goes for meditation but there is also a big problem in meditation related to motivation this is because the ego don't want to consider that there is something like a soul there is something like a Consciousness and even there is something like a higher Consciousness which
1:05:40
is the self which is the higher self the ego just wants to forget it entered point which is especially related to meditation is that it's not just the ego don't want it to see the soul and especially not yourself the problem with meditation is that the ego says it's boring or it does make sense I have tried meditation several times but I have never had luck so meditation doesn't really make sense for me and it doesn't bring effects for me so no and that's
1:06:16
also from the ego which tries to say meditation is useless and we don't need it gets a fart from the ego that's a judgment from the ego be careful with them it wants to throw out your motivation
1:06:32
for meditation who wants to say oh it's boring it's not motivating me I don't meditate anymore so boring I just sit around and you know it's a waste of time I must use my time for better things I must do something I have to do so much it's so important I have to make my 80 years so good when I forget about the rest it's a problem yeah I will count it in three essential points again and that's actually it's so easy
1:07:10
first of all we have a soul we have something like Consciousness we are not just a body the second thing is one point of the Soul one aspect of the soul of the Consciousness is the ego this is human consciousness but this is just a very small part of a much bigger thing and the bigger thing is the higher self this is higher Consciousness and this is where we actually should strive for and which is actually the true aim and now I got an additional effect actually they say
1:07:46
in religions too and in very old teachings they say our higher service actually our true self
1:07:55
which was even there before the ego developed but suddenly the ego developed and splited either I don't know why but maybe Paradise tries to explain it in Bible the way I make another session about that you were the self and then you fall down the ego developed pulled out of this Union and entangled in this world so much and things that life and this 80 years is so important and I have to do so I forgot to be and now we have to find back it's not just
1:08:27
that we have to find yourself actually you can say you have to find it back you already had it you already were in higher Consciousness but you have you are falling out this is what they wanted to say we're falling out of paradise but now we go back to paradise and therefore see you in the next video see you in Paradise see you in the union we are all one bye
