30 Minute Mind Expansion [Esoteric Saturdays]

The Vast Mind exercise allows you to get a glimpse of what it's like to transcend the self.
PAUSE THE VIDEO after each question, and TAKE THE TIME TO ANSWER FULLY!
All it takes is a quiet place away from other people or interruption (think about your mobile phone), and a little time (about 30 minutes).
By the end of the video, you should have an interesting experience.
This exercise is based on a technique developed by Jungian psychologists Hal and Sidra Stone, and adapted by Dennis Genpo Merzel.
This is my own take on the technique, as Merzel trademarked his version.

    I _STRONGLY_ recommend _not_ reading the comments until you have completed the whole exercise. It could affect your outcome. I would also say that pausing between every question is not optional. The video goes much too fast to give you the expected effect if you just play it straight through without pausing, and you would be wasting your time. If you enjoyed the video and you'd like to support my work, here are a few ways: - *Patreon*: www.patreon.com/foolishfish - *PAYPAL One-off donation*: paypal.me/foolishfish - *Super Thanks *- click on the heart with a dollar symbol under the video to leave a tip! - *Book a Video Chat with Foolish Fish*: foolishfish.simplybook.it/ - *YT Memberships*: kzread.info/dron/VtWVX2xirq6Nybf5bumqwg.htmljoin - *Visit my inventory and order from the amazon associate links*: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QKMxEeptfo-A62LrLNa9WkM2TkvigAzChKBcG1sU5Hg/edit?usp=sharing - *ETH wallet*: 0x64a4c581634d5ec16b02caec2224d1db42914f60 All Foolish Fish Patreons and Members get to watch Esoteric Saturday videos one week early without advertisements, get to chat on the FF Discord server, and get to watch my FF News videos a day early, among many other perks :)

I did this exercise with you and on 'vast mind' I again achieved no mind. After stating I was infinite I didn't need to answer any more questions as words were irrelevant. The "I" evaporated.

    Like everyone seemingly most everyone else, the Vast Mind was the quickest, but the Judging Mind seemed to insist he was a king of Binah/Saturn and that the Skeptic was his servant. The Skeptic seemed particularly fond of you, for some reason. It honestly amazes me how much personality each one of them had, and how different they were from one another. This video was more helpful to me than you'll ever know. Thank you.

Here and there and everywhere, now and always, yes and no, no and yes and infinite * o * I am blown away, thanks again!!!

    When I was a kid I had a jail cell in my head with all these identities locked away and just 'me' running the place. In the last few years I have relaxed that, and doing this exercise just now reminded me how many aspects of myself I have, male and female, strong and meek, forcefull and calm. When I got to the silent witness I was talking about how everyone else is happy to be moving about, but how sad I am for finally realizing I am more than I think I am on first blush. The silent witness commented a couple times on how I was crying with all these revelations of my different aspects actually loving me. Now I have even more parts of me to reconnect with. Thank you!

The vast mind provided its answers with no question... thank you for this.

    This tech has been flushed out further. You can give permission to the body and complete tasks one thought was undoable. This is a method to overcome the mental disputes that stop us from doing things. For instance, the artist might be to afraid to come out and art. So, it can be given permission to work uninterrupted to actually create art, instead of being paralyzed.

    I'm still in that moment at the end. I haven't felt that way for a long time. Now that I'm looking around me, everything seems unimportant. This video has brought together many teachings and practices I've learned over the years - and they especially seem to have ramped up recently. This video has been a gift.💖 I would like to write more but may in the future. What I will say briefly, is that The Vast Mind came up with the briefest (very much so!) and most profound replies. I'm a compulsive comment reader, but will avoid that for now. I may come back to this within the next few days. PS although it wasn't mentioned whether one should or should not do this, I left the voice recorder going while I did this exercise because I suspected it would be "a good 'un" (and I was certainly not disappointed!!!). I'm glad that I did, even though I'm not sure if I will ever read it, but I like to think I might be able to evoke the memory of this experience more distinctly if ever I do read it. But who knows, it should perhaps be one of these experiences that happens and does not happen again.

I see them of gatherings of psychological aspects being personalized. So if you want to question the part who likes to take a shit ask it. If you like to ask the part who hates to pay the bills ask it. The general questioning in the beginning of each part helps me to ease into it. So invoke whatever part you can come up with.

    100% on commodifying ideas, philosophy, and spiritual practice. I applaud you for talking about the concept by technically subverting the legalism of a ban on the use of the term but sharing the concept instead. An idea cannot be owned. And we wonder why the realist run the world. I was told flat out in my International Relations PhD program, "welcome to the discipline. All of the interesting frameworks that are not Realism or Liberalism, forget them if you want a job." I didn't finish my dissertation. I couldn't take it.

    I’ve started asking the vast mind if I should or should not take an action if I am unsure, and each time I’ve followed it’s reply and I can only say that the vast mind isn’t just present, it’s also in the past and the future at the same time. This has become one of the most fascinating videos that I’ve ever watched and will ever. Wow.

I was fortunate enough to be sent a link of one of your videos. By a member in my spiritual group I run. I gained a lot of profound insight from this therapeutic exercise. I am of now off to connect to my vast mind. Which I found out was infinite and has no boundaries. The boundaries it had. I placed on it myself. I am sure I will find more fascinating insights into my light/shadow self. I sense this excerice will be a major door opener for me to infinite knowledge and wisdom and divine connection.

    It was super interesting seeing how the different parts of mind talked differently. I learned my controller felt under appreciated, which was useful to learn. As a programmer, my fixer is very happy though ^ - ^ The Vast Mind was interesting, but its the mental place I go to when I’m trying to comprehend what solutions might look like to particularly hard mathematical problems, so it felt familiar to me, which was interesting. This reminded me quite a bit of tulpa type experiences people have. I think that people create Tulpas as instances of a combinations of various minds.

    I have never felt compelled to leave a comment on youtube; I am usually a very private person. Just wanted to say thank you Foolish Fish, as this experiment left me with a unique impression (as compared to other elements of my practice). Never have I experienced some of the many aspects of Self come into such close, and constructive, conversation. My 'silent observer' was so deeply contented that each of these aspects were happy unto themselves while being amongst one another. Archetype has always been an abstract template used to decipher the psyche for me, and always I have dealt with each of them one-on-one. This was different, insightful, emotional, and corporeal. In the state of the Vast Mind at the end and on after the video I experienced an energetic rush/intensification that completely lit me up, opened every pore, stood every hair of the body on-end. I can only describe as "other, but me." Somewhat ineffable. Complete ecstasy, complete stillness. Time eternal yet, singular. The gap between macrocosm and microcosm became much smaller, if only for a moment. I apologize to anyone reading this in it's entirety. Much longer than I intended for it to be. But if anyone reading this can relate, then I suppose my words weren't in vain. Much Love

    The fool is mad you didn't want to talk to him. lol. Seriously though, cool exercise. I've been studying psychology for years and only in the last couple have started getting into the esoteric side of things. I've always loved questionnaires and things that force me to learn more about myself. Getting into these states was pretty easy, with the exception of desire, which seems to be a bit low for a myriad of reasons. It's a very good exercise to vocalize these things too because it strengthens our abilities to comfortably talk to others about what are very essential human things to experience. We are all complex multidimensional experiences doing the human life thing. It's pretty neat. What's your favorite 'mode'?

    I practice majick almost every day and meditate almost every day, so each part of the mind behaved through this, and I was already aquainted with the vast mind. But this would work for people who've never meditated or practiced majick, so its very good. Now this video didn't tap vast mind like meditation can or ritual by any means, but for someone who's never experienced such a thing would have their doors blown off and they'd see a glimpse of where they can go, and hopefully spark a little thirst for it.

Desire was like "bitches, if I'm not here your future will be so dull you wouldn't WANT to do anything" (she's married to the judging mind). And then BOOM again!! 💥 the silent witness took me by surprise. They don't even know he exists and pretend they are the bosses 🤣🤣 This was entertaining to "witness" and very insightful. Some of them were frustrated and the protector almost made us all cry if the controller didn't step in. The vast mind seems fascinating and dull at the same time.

    This really seems more like a very colourful psychological exercise more than anything esoteric. That's why it feels so therapeutic, 'cause it does what a therapist does: Puts you in the right states of mind and then asks questions that a simple, but deviously "hard" to answer in these states of mind. This really is starting to just validate my thought that all of esoterism, philosophy, psychology, religion, yogic practices, etc. Are just the same thing, but in different languages, rituals and exercises. All try to answer the same questions and get to same places, but by different means.

    I can understand that. In my young life, all my feelings were wrong it seemed. If I was angry, I got in trouble. If I was sad, I got in trouble. Too silly...no good. Sarcastic...I got in trouble. Fear tended to bring an amused smile from my dad. If I voiced how this felt unfair or hurt me in any way, then I was too sensative. The only feelings that I was free to express were positive ones, ie; joy, happiness etc. This may not have anything to do with your experience, but children who are not allowed their full range of human emotions come to the conclusion that their feelings are 'wrong' and that eventually turns into 'I' am wrong, and they no longer trust their own thoughts or feelings, If this is true for you, a qualified caring therapist can show you the pure shining truth that all of the thoughts and feelings you have had, throughout your life were perfectly valid. And you will be able to begin trusting your feelings, and to stop examining every thought you have for validity, and it is truly...like being born again. The process here is called 'Internal Family Systems'( IFS). I hope I can say that without causing issues for channel! Good luck to you! You are beautiful, curious, open and authentic, all amazing things to be. When you are able to lose the fear of speaking your thoughts, you will amaze yourself. Love to you! 💕

    My "protector" part was confused that you indirectly assumed through your questions that she did indeed stop doing her job at least once. In general, the exercise worked well for me by just answering those questions in my mind, without speaking aloud. It gave me a weird sensation in a certain part of my head at times, though, and I was fully aware what responded so naturally were *aspects* of me that ultimately are still me. But then, I'm a writer. I can create/synthesize dialogue in my mind rather well.
