1
Hi everyone, it's been a while.
2
I hope you're doing well.
3
Before starting this video, I want to say thank you to each
4
and every one of you who watched my previous video about emotional independence and left so many encouraging comments.
5
I really appreciate you guys sharing your stories and experiences.
6
Reading them reminds me of why I am doing this
7
and it felt truly amazing and fulfilling and magical
8
because for the first time ever my voice could help many people
9
and i could see it with my own eyes
10
so it really means a lot to me thank you
11
so much for today's video i just want to share some thoughts
12
that have been on my mind for the past few days i have been recovering from a flu actually
13
which was quite serious that's why my voice still sounds a bit hoarse
14
and raspy anyways during my three week recovery i couldn't do anything much
15
so i spent a lot of time resting and also contemplating about life
16
and one of the things that really stuck in my head is
17
that i think as humans we worry in a really unnecessary way we worry way too much about our life
18
that could end any time have you ever taken a really close look at your worries
19
when you look at them closely they all seem really irrational
20
and almost ridiculous i mean who are you who am i what is our true identity
21
those are the questions i've spent the past few years seeking answers to for now i can tell that
22
we are not confined to socially constructed identities i know
23
that i'm not just hang that's the name my human parents gave me
24
and what people call me
25
but I'm not a name I am also not a student
26
not a teacher not a youtuber not a content creator I
27
am none of these identities I am more like a soul
28
moving from an infinite realm where there was no linear time
29
no physical space nothingness basically to this physical world where linear
30
time exists to experience something called life I am not going
31
to impose my spiritual beliefs on you you have the right to align yourself with any identity
32
but I just want to say that
33
if you remember you are more than just a physical being
34
and that you are here to experience a very fleeting life compared to the eternity that you've spent in the spiritual realm.
35
All experiences that you have will feel more vibrant yet lighter and you won't worry about anything anymore.
36
I really want to emphasize the importance of remembering who you truly are.
37
We think that the more we grow up, the older we get, the more we understand who we really are.
38
But that's not the case.
39
The truth is most of us have been taught to forget
40
who we really are i mean has anybody in your life
41
like your parents your teachers has anybody in your life ever told you
42
that you are more than just this physical body
43
if i told someone in my life these things
44
that i am a soul you are a soul i am a soul we are souls
45
most of them would think
46
that i am crazy i mean we have been taught to
47
forget our true essence Our true identity has been covered by layers
48
and layers of limitations You don't want to limit yourself in this physical expression of a human being
49
But more like a free infinite being Who has existed for probably hundreds
50
or even thousands of years If you are an old soul
51
And that your journey doesn't end here Actually your end is the beginning Sometimes I think about death
52
and it's a topic that humans tend to avoid talking about because it seems to carry this ominous,
53
foreboding connotation, you know.
54
But for me, death is very different.
55
I look at it in a very different way.
56
First of all, death and life are present simultaneously.
57
It's not like when life ends, death comes.
58
No, death is a part of life and life is a part of death.
59
For example, inside your body, millions of cells die every day.
60
Your skin cells are continually replaced.
61
The outermost cells eventually die and shed while newer cells move upward.
62
Nature does the same thing as well.
63
A new leaf grows in spring, right?
64
Then it changes color, falls, decomposes and eventually becomes a part of the soil.
65
And that soil provides nutrients for new plants to grow.
66
And also if you look at your own life, so many past versions of you have died.
67
We become new versions of ourselves by allowing old things to die.
68
so what i want to say is that
69
if you zoom in on life you realize
70
that death has always been intertwined with living and secondly like i said before if we come from a spiritual
71
infinite realm and we reincarnate on this earth then when we die our journeys still continue you.
72
I think death is going back to where we truly belong.
73
Death is coming home.
74
Death is coming home.
75
It's like taking a break.
76
You know, it's like taking a vacation after a long time of working, learning and gaining experiences.
77
You finally go home, take a break and your journey will continue somewhere else.
78
So when you remember all of this, how can you be worried about anything?
79
Let me give you some examples to make it easier for you to imagine.
80
You know, when you were small, sometimes you worried about your parents not buying you the toy you wanted, right?
81
Sometimes you worried about not getting a good score for your midterm test.
82
Sometimes you worried about your crush not reciprocating your feelings
83
and now when you look back at those worries do they seem serious to you no they all seem
84
so small and trivial
85
and even silly right that's how you as a soul that's how a soul views the things
86
that you are worried about right now and by saying this i am not marginalizing your problems
87
people can face big challenges and it requires a lot of effort
88
and strength to pull through but to be honest many things
89
that we worry about are not that serious their importance
90
and seriousness have been magnified in our human brain
91
because that's what is designed to do it exaggerates risks
92
and discomfort to keep it safe but at the same time stresses us out
93
and makes us suffer mentally and emotionally
94
when you know how long you have existed in another form of consciousness before you arrived on this earth.
95
The difficulty or the challenge
96
that you are worrying about right now will change from this
97
giant scary monster in the eyes of a human into a tiny speck of dust in the eyes of a soul.
98
As a soul, you have gone through it all.
99
Everything.
100
Things that you, of course, cannot remember or even imagine now, but you are stronger than you think you are
101
so much more than you think and if the things
102
that you are worrying about really happen even though there's a really small chance of
103
that happening you can still survive the worst case scenarios everything is survivable even death is not
104
that scary when you look at it as coming home
105
if you fail try again if you try again
106
and still fail maybe try one more time if you have tried
107
so many times
108
and now you are completely exhausted just give up maybe this is not the right thing for you
109
and you have been given so many signs
110
that this is not the right thing for you
111
so just give up take a break
112
and embark on a new journey later I mean we need
113
to make peace with the worst case scenarios don't let them scare you
114
and you will take away their power over you As long as you are alive, there will be another chance,
115
another option, another path Like I said before, this life that you have is very,
116
very short compared to your total existence as a soul Time passes so quickly here You got the chance to be here,
117
to experience this human life To resolve your bad karma
118
and to enjoy the fruits of your good karma
119
And you are telling me that you are wasting all of your time and energy on worrying?
120
Okay, this is how I imagine my journey.
121
I like to think that as a soul, before I reincarnated on this earth, right?
122
I was given this assignment from a higher power.
123
And it says that I need to live this life to the fullest
124
and learn lessons and take notes of everything
125
and later I'll need to give like a presentation in front of other souls
126
and a higher power to talk about my experience in this lifetime
127
and I don't want to stand there
128
and be like okay I spent more than half of my time worrying about stupid things, imagining worst case scenarios,
129
being bothered by how others thought about me and not doing anything because I was scared of failure and judgment.
130
That's not what I want to do.
131
I want to stand there and give the most
132
insightful joyous and inspirational speech about this lifetime and i want to add
133
that not every soul in every lifetime has to do something
134
extraordinary not every soul has to carry a grand mission you know maybe your mission is to live a calm
135
and quiet life it's just as beautiful
136
but i'm sure that when your time comes you also don't want to regret
137
that you you cost yourself
138
so much unnecessary suffering from worrying too much about everything right i think
139
that worry is just misused imagination it's imagination going in the wrong direction as humans one of the greatest gifts
140
that we have is creative imagination and imagination is the root of all creation everything
141
that you can possibly see in front of you right now
142
is a product of imagination a chair had existed in someone's
143
mind before it was made a painting had existed in someone's
144
mind before it was created a certain outcome had existed in someone's mind before it was materialized
145
so things exist on the mental
146
and emotional planes before they exist on the physical plane the
147
problem is humans are using too much of our time
148
and energy on imagining things that don't serve us things that dampen our mood, weaken our spirit and steal our peace.
149
Worry, fear, anxiety, doubt, all these emotions and mental processes are products of willful imagination.
150
It's willful imagination.
151
We often think that there are external factors that make us worry
152
that we are victims of certain circumstances but the truth is we created our own worries.
153
Some people are even addicted to creating negative scenarios in their minds to have a sense of control
154
but of course it's just an illusion so
155
worry is just misused imagination now you can turn the tables
156
and change the way you practice imagination by imagining things
157
that actually benefit you and bring you peace it's just as simple as
158
that it's simple but also difficult at the same time it's difficult
159
because if you have spend the majority of your life being stuck in this loop of worry
160
and anxiety it requires a lot of self -awareness
161
and self -discipline to break it however it's also very easy
162
because all it takes is just a committed promise
163
that you make to yourself that from now on you will only entertain thoughts
164
and beliefs that bring you peace peace of mind honestly is just a decisional way
165
that decision is a product it's a it's a result of you realizing
166
that you are in control of your inner world and
167
that you deserve peace and
168
that you can create peace for yourself you know in the past I used to think
169
that if I can change my living space
170
if I can move to another city
171
if I can have a lot of money
172
if I can achieve all of my goals and dreams
173
if I can just escape my present circumstances i will finally experience peace
174
but that's not true i have changed my living space
175
i have achieved some really big dreams and goals i have had more money but i didn't feel at peace
176
once something was done i had another thing to worry about
177
once i achieved something my mind started to aim at something bigger that's
178
when i realized that escapism is not the way out of worry
179
and anxiety i mean of course there are things
180
that you should do and changes that you should make to improve your life
181
and have better experiences
182
but peace should not be dependent on external factors peace is in here real peace always comes from within
183
if you don't learn to find inner peace regardless of your present circumstances worry
184
and anxiety will always follow you wherever you go, whoever you become.
185
Even when you have billions of dollars, even when you become the most successful version of yourself, even when you are in the healthiest relationship with the most loving person,
186
you will still find countless things to worry about.
187
What I have learned is that you can only experience peace
188
when you accept everything that is happening in this present moment and don't hold any resistance to it.
189
You just let things happen and you go with the flow of life everything feels lighter
190
when you accept it as what it is even struggle or discomfort
191
or suffering I have this really simple example to explain why
192
accepting unpleasant things can make them less unpleasant for example
193
when you cut onions you slice them and you chop them right
194
and your eyes are watering and stinging like crazy and to be honest it's quite irritating
195
I have observed that when I fight against that burning, stinging sensation and I complain about how unpleasant it is to cut these onions,
196
the stinging gets worse.
197
But when I accept that, okay, chopping onions will make my eyes water and it will sting a little, I'll just let my eyes sting,
198
I'll make peace with that burning sensation
199
and suddenly it feels almost like nothing my eyes are still watery but it's not irritating and unpleasant anymore.
200
The same thing goes for all the situations in our lives.
201
When we don't fight against anything, when we just accept things as they are with no resentment,
202
no disappointment, no dissatisfaction or resistance.
203
When we just treat everything as neutral events without attaching any negative interpretations or preconceived notions to it.
204
Our bodies relax, our minds relax, we heal faster and we experience more peace no matter what is happening.
205
You know, there are things that will never happen.
206
No matter how hard you try to make them happen, there are things that will 100 % happen.
207
No matter how hard you try to prevent them, there are things and people that are not meant for you
208
and they will leave you even when you think that they will stay with you forever.
209
There are also things and people that are meant for you
210
and they will cross oceans and galaxies to eventually find you even when you lose all your hope.
211
Everything happens at divine timing.
212
You cannot force it.
213
You cannot predict it.
214
You can only let go of all your expectations and resistance
215
and just let things happen naturally and you will always arrive in the right place at the right time.
216
So no need to worry, just relax and go to sleep.
217
Sleep deeply and soundly tonight, knowing that what's meant for you will find its way to you
218
and that you can survive everything because you are a powerful being.
219
You are so much more than everything that everyone has ever told you about yourself.
220
You are so much more than everything you have known about yourself.
221
Every time you forget this, please come back to this video.
222
And I guess that's everything for today.
223
I hope this video brings you peace and reassurance.
224
Thank you so much for watching.
225
Please take care.
226
I'll see you again soon.
227
Bye.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
