Its crazy the amount of negativity our minds are capable of throwing at us. I found that daily meditation is the only way for me to more regularly gain this "observers perspective" and step out of those thought loops. It's often a pain to sit down and practice meditation but my quality of life improves significantly if I stick with it. Great video giacomo, keep it up!

If you're meditating for a purpose, or to improve something, you aren't meditating.

Demons are attacking us. This is a spiritual battle people. One we fight everyday.

I will be the summary bro: 1. The key to eliminating mental suffering is mastering your thoughts, recognizing that you are not your thoughts but rather an observer of them, and choosing which thoughts to give power to. 2. There are two aspects within you: your higher self, which seeks your highest potential, and your lower self, which seeks comfort and instant gratification. These two selves are in a constant war, with thoughts as their soldiers. 3. Giving attention to thoughts sent by the lower self empowers it, leading you towards a life of comfort-seeking and instant gratification, which is opposed to change and success. 4. To win the war against the lower self, you must understand it fully and refuse to give attention to any thoughts it sends. It is vital to critically analyze your thoughts and the actions they lead to, as they can be deceptive. 5. Success in this process involves training your mind to withdraw attention from manipulative thoughts and returning focus to the present moment. This can be achieved through practices like meditation and the discipline of understanding and controlling thought patterns.

So, the higher self also uses thoughts? Am I that higher self? If I'm not, how do I choose to observe thoughts without a thought telling me to observe thoughts and how can I be certain that this choice to observe thoughts doesn't come from the lower self?

There is no need to imagine a war with a ficticious "lower self". It's a mistake to personify a false self. That attitude only serves to strengthen belief in a non-existent separate "lower self". There is only conditioning, habits and a tendency to personify these things. It's not a useful fiction either. Imagining there's a "lower self" to fight only creates tension, more conditioning, more problems. You are most definitely the awareness of the silent observer, everything else arises in awareness. Welcome your thoughts as honoured guests without holding on to them is infinitely better than imagining they are products of an enemy. The problem is you will get what you expect and make an enemy of your mind. Look into self enquiry practice to ground this understanding. You will quickly discover first hand that "higher" and "lower" selves are fictional. There is only the oneness of a boundless "you" shared by all beings. Frankly I would trust the tried and tested traditions of non-duality, advaita vedanta and Buddhism over the almost-right but dramatic pronouncements on this video

Yup “lower self” is 100% a comfort zone, whatever is guaranteed as “new” or different is viewed as scary to the lower self. I noticed it blocks me from trying new things, working towards my goals, talking to certain people it throws phrases around like “embarrassing” “not good enough” “too much time” “to much effort” to put me exactly where i am comfortable, and not where i truly want to be

Kid’s got talent. There’s no denying it. Everything he stated was accurate.

I watched this video this morning. I used to think that young people were less credible because of their relative lack of life experience, but you’ve helped to change my mind about that. I can tell by the content of your video that you have been through enough of this struggle to speak with some authority. I had to pause to deal with something just after you explained about the lower self wanting comfort and cheap gratification and I wondered what you would say was wrong with comfort and cheap gratification. When I returned to your video a bit later, you didn’t let me down. You went on to answer my unspoken question. I agree with you about how crafty and patient the lower self can be. I appreciate that you acknowledge that you occasionally still stumble and that 9/10 successes is better than 0/10. It’s not like a vending machine where putting in $1.99 for a $2 item yields nothing. That’s really helpful to those of us who tend to be “all or nothing” thinkers. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Yes, the same thoughts over and over every day. Thoughts I don't even want to think.

ADHD leave open all tabs… you are overwhelmed….this powerful up thinking and acting is the right road to travel on….

I think one critique I have on this take is that I believe it is a misnomer to “destroy” the lower self. The goal is not to deprive oneself of simple pleasures of life, but to rather align the lower self and the higher self into one. Through this alignment, our actions both in the lower self and higher self propel us in a direction that is mutually beneficial. Therefore reinforcing the educational, relationship, or career goals that we set out for ourselves. Regardless, good video and helps provoke thought.

"it is always your choice" this is absolutely correct. i reached to that conclusion as well myself by experiencing it time and time again that no matter how you try to deceive or fool yourself your always making the final decision to do and not to do what. just by understanding that you become more mindful and get one step better.

In my opinion, everyone has to find their own balance between the two sides as they often work together.

Nailed it, brother! I experienced a dark night of the soul and spent a vast amount of time introspecting and looking within myself for answers. It took years for me to learn this same thing you are speaking on. I know it to be true and I know just from this one video of yours I have seen, you are certainly on a path of enlightenment my friend. This is by far one of the biggest issues plaguing the world right now and most people don’t even know about it. Thanks for bringing attention to such crucial information by making your videos. Most people only think they know who they are, not realizing that they don’t have the faintest idea. People are lost souls and what you are doing, I’m positive you will help people with these videos. This is the path to truly finding one’s true self. Everybody wants to be their ideal selves but they don’t know how to find their true selves. This will help people do that. God bless you!

You're welcome bro!

Thank you for this video. As someone who has been reacting to recent changes in a negative way, my mind gets bombarded with fears and thoughts that I don't approve of. When I finally had them have less power of me, it caused me to believe that I approved of them or that I was an emotionless person. So, I said them out loud and the real me criticized them. It made me realize that those thoughts aren't me and that my mind was portraying me as someone I wasn't. Because I had visualized myself as a bad person, it made me believe I WAS a bad person. I'm still recovering but I'm glad they don't have as much power over me as I thought they would. We all fear that we may end up a way we don't like or approve of but remember 85% of what we fear NEVER even happens. So, if we take that food for thought, we will be much happier.

watch your feelings too because it really a big contribution to have a negative thought in as fast as a blink of an eye

What a brilliant way to frame our conflicting desires. Thank you 🙏 ❤

my lower self wants a drink 🥃. Thank you this is what i’ve struggled with my whole life especially at night where i can’t sleep. i’m 46 good for you for having this wisdom

"if you aren't creating these thoughts, then how are they you?" Thats really deep

I've done mistakes in the past, and my mind actively says bad thinks about me, ESPECIALLY when I get to feel good then it starts pulling me back, sometimes I can't even be present at work because I focus to make it shut up and I get distracted, what even worse is that the body believes it and I get anxiety attacks.

You are a stunningly insightful young man. Many people do not realize this information until their late 30’s, or somewhere in their 40’s or even 50’s. The fact that you look so youthful is very helpful to younger people who might not listen so well to someone who is at a different point in life. Thank you for taking the time to create this video.
