hey what's going on my friends welcome to my YouTube channel my name is Victor and today I'm
going to share with you three life lessons that have been absolutely game changing for me in a
very real and significant way three life lessons from the bhagavad-gita that's the a book it's like
the most a prominent spiritual text uh from the Hindu religion it's about uh this Krishna figure
who's kind of like a Jesus Christ honestly he where allegedly they are an Incarnation they're
they're not just a self-realized human they're more like an incarnation in physical form of
the one basically so for what that's worth I I don't know what I think of that but I know
that the the information when applied is so so helpful I never made a video like this but
I see so many videos out there honestly that are are putting information out that I I don't
know and I don't always like what I see quite frankly and I want to put out something that I
really find has a real significance in genuinely improving in a very little way the human existence
especially anybody who's already going through a spiritual awakening and as you know there's no
shortage of information and tools and books and perspectives and a lot of it in my opinion these
days is kind of fluff New Age fluff and I think the core wisdom has been around for a long time
and spoken about and in many different ways all boiling down to a pretty simplistic little road
map of life so anyway these are the three things that stuck with me out of that book and I'm happy
to share them with you in case they may enrich your life in the way they have for myself number
one selfless action is very heavily valued from this Krishna figure we'll say they call it you
also call it karma yoga and there are different like roads to Enlightenment allegedly and one of
them is like the life of like someone who's just very contemplative uh self-inquiry almost like
the monk in the cave kind of idea very passive and this Krishna figure for what it's worth He
says that is one way but it's not the best way So the faster route is through selfless action
selfless service and what I've found is that a lot of people especially now find themselves sort of
called from the cave into action into selfless service back into the real world where it's less
pretty less High Vibe and that this spiritual Seeker wonders why why am I feeling called to
to to to go back out there I don't want to I don't like the feeling of that I want to protect myself
and I I suspect because the world needs it honestly that's my own Theory but
it's uh also I would say also a fast track to spiritual growth reminds me of Michael Singer you
might know Michael Singer he's a more contemporary spiritual teacher he wrote the book um the
surrender experiment and the untethered Souls kind of like real popular really well-known book anyway
the surrender experiment is uh kind of like an autobiography about his own spiritual journey
and Michael singer's a badass by the way so this this means a lot honestly coming from him but he
said for like the first like decade or so of his like spiritual journey he lived kind of in the
cave so to speak almost literally where he lived Off the Grid in a little tent eating like rice and
beans every day meditating for countless hours a day really wanting to find Enlightenment and
during that time he found a lot of cool expansive experiences and his mystical happenings and anyway
he seemed like he was making progress but he still never he never really broke through in the way he
was wanting to and trying to and until one day or 190 get a dream and this dream was of him walking
down this like dark tunnel towards a light and it's getting closer and closer to the light and as
he did it got brighter and brighter and brighter and he found himself kind of like where he
couldn't quite get to the light he got right under the light and then there's this like protective
glass ceiling where he saw the light was up there but he couldn't reach it and then he woke up
and when he woke up he knew what it meant he was able to interpret it and what it implied was that
uh that he's come as far as he can going towards Enlightenment in this particular cave-like passive
secluded sort of way and as he like accepted that basically he had this awareness that the
next step he was surprised but the next step for him he knew it intuitively was to start a business
and he did he wanted to start a billion dollar freaking company it was crazy and it just sort of
unfolded and but anyway through doing that they're working with people getting back out there in the
world he he just continued to grow spiritually now he's kind of come back around full circle
and he gives talks every week at his uh he's got this like not Monastery but something like that
um and anyway but the point is like he went had it's like it's like God says like listen you're
you're making good progress there in the cable we could use you that the world could really
use the wisdom you're learning the experiences you're having the light within yourself you're
uncovering has potential to help a lot of people and guess what you're going to be heavily rewarded
my friend and I believe you will and I certainly have I was living kind of a quiet little life
contented with my family and my I had a personal training gym and I also felt disrupted by this
calling to be more boldly out there in the world and I didn't want to do it I resisted
it I complained about it and then eventually life shoved me out there anyway and here I am thankful
thankful to be giving back thankful to be sharing from my heart in ways that are helping people
because I can feel it I can tell when I'm helping people and that comes back to me in an abundant in
happiness and just a fulfillment and um I've also grown way faster spiritually by being out there
living actual life there's so much to be gained from just a regular old experience you know when
I was doing one-on-one coaching for example sometimes I'd find I'd work with younger men
that were like intimidated to go approach you know a partner whatever at the bar or something
and I would always think to myself if I could get this person to have the courage to like just try
their best and go out there and try to land a date that would be way better than if I said
meditate for two hours a day read these books that's easy getting out there and going outside
your comfort zone that's hard and yeah that's where the magic happens in the unknown outside
of her comfort so that's where the real growth happens and then the more you do that the more
you have the share the more the world benefits number two as best you can all these things are
practices nothing you just do and then you're done but as best you can release selfish desire
and nobody wants to admit they have selfish desire but we all do we all have self-serving motives and
of course to live not like that just completely selfless it's almost like this saint-like
um like uh ideal that it's like unrealistic to to even attempt to me so I think a lot of people
just say screw it nobody else is living that way why should I but I've learned personally
from my own life that that really does work it actually works as a strategy to bring you more
of the things you want anyway and it just feels good but I I with that said I don't think you
can do it as a tactic necessarily an example of this comes up all the time in one of my coaching
programs where I teach people how to grow like an online following like what you see me doing
on YouTube here and then make money as a coach or a Healer or a psychic it's called the full-time
purpose and it's very common for people to come in the program wanting to make money online now
that's not who who doesn't want to make more money if we're honest who doesn't want to like
be able to buy the things they want to buy and live the lifestyle they want to live there's
nothing wrong with that inherently but when that's the motive what I found and thousands of clients
coming through this program is it never works it never works for me either whenever I try to
do something for my own benefit to make money and I can justify that very well I can say listen I
deserve to make money I'm worthy of money I have children to feed there's nothing wrong with it
and at the same time if that's my motive Justified or not okay on paper or not it rarely even works
somehow people can feel it and it doesn't sell it doesn't work but when I don't even try when I just
try to help people it it comes back reminds me of this one woman this psychic I know her name is I'm
not gonna say her name actually she prefers to live a very private life actually she is awesome
straight up all my friends are raving about this psychic and I was like nah man I don't normally
don't see psychics but eventually they just kept they just kept sharing these awesome testimonials
basically and I finally did it when I was kind of in a rough spot and the first thing this woman
did when she got on the phone with me is she said who's consetta it's my grandmother's name Concetta
not a very uncommon name who's consetta he started listing off all these dead relatives of mine and
sharing things they wanted to say and it was just mind-blowing this woman is like a freaking
medium if I've ever met one and it was very very impressive and you know what the reason I say
that is she doesn't do any advertising you don't know who she is she has no social media following
whatsoever and she doesn't even charge anything she says pay me whatever you want but she gets
paid a lot because people like me are like holy cow that was amazing I want to give back to you
I found that not only does when you just let your heart guide you and you do what you like you find
a way to help you get out of your own way out of your own imperfections or your perfectionism
especially and out of your own blocks and and reasons why you don't have the time and you just
do your best to help with what you got it comes back not only in abundance but in happiness I know
for me I I went to this period where I was I built up this YouTube channel and I was helping a lot
of people and then I got kind of tired of it I got kind of burnt out from it honestly and I thought I
don't want to do this anymore I don't feel like it I want to write a book I mind says you're going to
write a book and help people in that way and it'll allow you to really live like this quiet life
and as I did that my life just sort of got worse and worse and worse it felt like the support of
the universe was gone not only financially because I stopped working but my life just started to kind
of plummet until I finally realized that I meant to be doing this I'm helping people on YouTube
whether I feel like it or not and once I just allowed myself to come back and start sharing
on YouTube I could feel this awareness of being in alignment with my life purpose is the best way
I could put it and in this feeling of being in alignment I knew everything I felt like I felt
like the support of the universe come back online and it showed up in my life practically but more
so just the feeling I had and I've learned that when I like do the best to help life
imperfectly and inevitably and perfectly yes my blocks are still here yes I have problems
yes I have issues but I still do my best to help and there's this feeling that everything's gonna
be fine there's this feeling that good things are coming Good Karma if you will so I'm not I
can't prove that your life is going to improve by selfless service but I can tell you it's brought
me way more abundance than ever thought I'd have and way more happiness and I thought a
person even deserves and I've tried doing things that make sense on paper and they almost never
work so for for me this has been a theme I've come back to time and time again and luckily I
feel like I finally got the message just to do my thing sing my song as best I can help when I can
and I I believe anyway I'll be I'll be taken care of number three safety Serenity peace
can only be found within I wish I could bring up the little phrase that I read just the other
night the other night I was kept awake with a kind of like a open loop in my mind there's a problem
in my business in my in my life with friends and my business and it was really bothering
me it really implied a lot of uncertainty of my future and it was keeping me awake
and I was in this like ongoing like conversation with some people involved and eventually I had to
go to bed I go to bed pretty early because I have kids that have to get up and I ended up waking up
before going to bed though I read this particular passage from the the book there's a headache and
it basically just said like never seek security outside of yourself always bring it back into the
admin that means a word for like the Eternal self the the God within Etc and for whatever reason
that just stuck with me and it gave me some peace in the moment I was like okay I'm gonna do that
and I fell asleep only to wake up at like three in the morning prematurely worried again really
wanting to check my phone to see like who what was going on with this you know this unresolved
problem basically and I found myself really wanting to seek security to try to like me I
felt Restless I felt insecure I felt doubtful I felt afraid and I thought if I could just
see that what's going on on the outside is okay then I'll feel better but I instead I I knew I
knew that was not going to be the reality I knew I was going to check my phone listen to a bunch
of voice notes get more worked up not be able to fall back asleep and I knew it was not gonna work
um and then what came to mind is what I read in that book I'll just go Within
I know you're scared I know you're worked up but you can find what you're looking for within
yourself and I literally did that for like maybe the first time in a very bold way where I did not
attempt to alleviate my anxiety by doing or changing or manipulating
anything external of me and I just sat with it and I breathe I took some breaths
and I just tried to sink more and more into myself and I try to I really tried to find that peace
which I knew was there at least Krishna said it would be and I trusted him and sure enough it was
and I was like holy cow this is a very new way of going through life I realized how much I try
to control my Inside by changing the outside and what Krishna is saying it's the other way around
and it's not even the other way around it's more so that your external world's unstable it's
going to you're going to be met with change and hardship good times and down times and everything
in between unpredictable non-linear Alan Watts calls it Wiggly it's Wiggly and he says that's the
nature of this life you find yourself in and you can be that eye of the hurricane you can be that
calm within the storm but you're never going to control the storm you can only control your focus
and the more we like train ourselves is what he puts in the book to like dwell Within
it doesn't mean things are going to be peachy all the time in your life but it
almost doesn't matter what goes on because you will be in a good place within yourself
so anyway those are three principles that I do my best to apply in my life that I've seen
genuinely good results with and I hope they help you or inspire you or even if you take
one or two of them good God bless you so let me know if you like these kind of videos as
