- Our natural state of being
is to feel high all of the time.
Now what happens is if we are using certain substances,
and especially, if we are overusing them,
then what happens is we are tuning ourselves
to a lower octave of where we're naturally supposed to feel.
And we become used to that.
And then we think we're feeling high
when in actuality we're feeling only a fraction
of what's possible.
But we, in a way get stuck in that level
because it has become familiar.
So in this video,
I wanna show you the true vibration of cannabis.
I want to show you how many times
it can keep us trapped in a certain level.
And show you my story around this.
How I used to do this all day, every day, back in 2012.
Why I stopped doing it and how when I stopped doing it,
my whole entire life changed.
And my natural vibration went up
to where I felt high all of the time using nothing.
I believe that's possible for you.
And in this video,
I'm gonna show you exactly how to do that.
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to another video
my name is Aaron
and I help people expand their consciousness.
Now in this video, what I wanna do is share with you
how I went from somebody
that was smoking cannabis every single day.
No joke.
I would go to work
I was working at Nordstrom selling women's shoes
and what I would do is I'd go home
and like at the end of the day
like five or six o'clock when I got off,
immediately, I would start smoking.
I was pretty into it.
When I say pretty into it, every paycheck, every two weeks,
I'd go buy something to do with cannabis.
What I mean is I buy bongs, I'd buy glass
I'd buy different ways of using it.
And I would use it every single day.
And I was very passioned about it.
I actually have a lot of good memories with friends
and we'd play basketball.
And it was like friends would come over and it something
that was like very enjoyable to do.
However, what eventually happened is I realized
that I was using it in a way as a crutch.
I was using it to heal a lot of the childhood pain
I think I went through.
I think it was a way of numbing me out of the pain
I was feeling in my life
because I wasn't necessarily happy with where I was.
And there was a lot of a dependency, I think.
It's an interesting thing.
I think a lot of times when people become dependent
on different substances,
there may be a codependency that they have
towards some childhood trauma they experienced.
Where then they become almost obsessive
about something else.
Like anybody that if you're listening to this,
do you feel like maybe you have what they call it
addictive personality,
where anything you do you do very intensely?
I know that's even me now, like I meditate very intensely.
What I mean by that is I like meditate two times a day
and I'm very passionate about it.
When I make videos, I make them very intense in my videos.
You know, anything I do, I do all out.
That included smoking cannabis.
And the originally the reason I did that too
was because I was experiencing the side effects
of ADHD or Adderall.
I was taking Adderall, which is the prescription drug
they give to people that have ADHD.
And the side effects of that are, you don't eat very good,
you don't sleep very good.
So during the day I would take adderall.
I would sell a whole bunch of shoes
'cause it was a commission-based job.
I'd go home at the end of the day.
And it would be very hard for me to sleep and eat.
Well, what are the side effects of cannabis?
It's easy to sleep, it's easy to eat.
So I would do that every day.
But eventually I felt very dependent.
I felt very dependent because one I needed adderall
for ADHD.
And on two, I needed cannabis at the end of the night.
So I was like, man, I feel like I need these things.
And it was just not that great of a feeling.
And I also felt like a lot of resistance
because of my childhood trauma,
pain of having an abusive ex step-mom in my life.
And I realized that a lot of what I was doing,
I actually got the feeling and like the insight
that it was time to quit
probably for like six months to a year.
But I just didn't want to jump into that.
It was almost like I felt so much of a comfortability
with cannabis.
And when I did it,
there was a certainty that I would feel a certain way.
So, I enjoyed it.
But also it was a way of me taking away the pain
and numbing.
And there was a level of certainty with it really.
And what happened is eventually I got to a point
to where I just felt so much resistance
of needing these things
that I started doing a little research.
And I came across the power of meditation.
I read about it online.
And I started meditating
because I found that meditation
is one way of increasing focus.
It's one way of, then I wouldn't need Adderall.
If I didn't have Adderall,
maybe then I wouldn't need the cannabis as much.
So what I eventually did is I started meditating.
I started observing my thoughts for five
or 10 minutes a day.
And over the course of two or three days,
my life really started to change.
And it sounds like such a small thing,
but I started to feel differently.
And eventually what happened
is I sat down to meditate one day
and I just had this feeling
that my life was gonna change forever
from meditating every single day.
And from that point going forward, it did.
And within a two weeks, got off of Adderall completely.
I realized at the same time
that my beliefs were creating my reality.
So in a way I could see how, because I believed I had ADHD,
and I also was like carrying the pain of my past.
I could tell that the way I felt about it,
the way I thought about it
was affecting me in the present moment.
So, what I did is I started to reframe having ADHD.
I started to say, I just have a lot of energy.
I need to ground myself.
So I'd go out in grass and I would ground myself.
And another thing I would do is I would meditate.
And that was my way of mitigating that.
And I dropped the belief that I had ADHD.
That was another thing.
I'm not suggesting everybody do this
or not giving doctor advice.
But that's just what I did and it worked for me.
But also at the same time, I then started weaning back
or like stopped smoking cannabis.
And it was also because I started to literally feel high
all of the time.
I believe that our natural state of being
is for us to feel high all the time.
If I were to feel the way that I feel now back in 2012
before even when I was smoking weed,
I would think I was high.
And all I did was I learned meditation.
I brought the awareness into my body.
And as I went did that,
and as I started to also heal the pain of my past,
I started to forgive my ex-step mom.
I started to forgive people in my past.
And I started, I stopped being so angry
because I started realizing
they were doing the best they can
with the level of consciousness they were at.
It was like that energy began to free up for me.
And I started to feel completely different.
And funny enough, I always had patterns in my life
from my ex step-mom, even after she left my life
when I was 15 and my dad divorced her,
I had an ex-girlfriend that was very controlling
just like my ex-stepmom.
Then I had a manager that was very controlling
just like my ex-stepmom.
And what happened is when I did this healing practice
and I started healing my painful past,
the ex-stepmom pattern of my manager
who we tried getting fired for your literally years.
But couldn't because she was protected by upper management.
She got fired, within two weeks of me doing this.
So it's almost like as I did the inner healing,
my outer reality began to change.
So, this was when things really started to change for me.
But the vibration of cannabis or marijuana
is that I believe cannabis is in a way, in this reality,
it's in a way a gift.
I think that this is a very healing plant.
This is something that can heal many people
and has a lot of benefits.
It has a lot of healing benefits.
And it's like, you know, people that go through cancer,
people that have different you know, ailments or anxiety,
I think it could be very beneficial.
But at the same time, I think that in a way
it's like we become in relationship with this plant.
And I remember when I broke up with cannabis,
literally I broke up with cannabis.
What happened is I made the choice to quit,
and what happened
is I knew it was almost time for me to quit.
Then what I did is I went to a friend's smoke shop.
I have friends that have like the best smoke shop in Vegas.
And I went there and I bought this big bong
that was like 300 bucks.
And I brought it home.
And I knew I should've quit.
But what I did is I loaded it up
for the first hit I ever took out of it.
And I took this big hit.
And as I breathed in, I could feel it
and then as I breathed out, I started crying.
And I immediately knew that that was the last hit
of cannabis I was gonna take for a very long time.
And when I was doing that, I was crying.
Here's an interesting thing.
I felt the emotion
of how I made everybody else feel in my life
when I was smoking cannabis.
Now, maybe this was a self guilt thing.
I don't know.
But I used to go to my dad's house,
and I'd be higher on my dad, my sisters.
And I always felt kind of guilty about that.
I actually had an ex-girlfriend
that I used to smoke and hide smoking from.
Because I didn't understand
how she would drink a couple of times a week,
but why couldn't I smoke a couple of times a week.
So I would hide it and smoke.
And there's probably another control factor there too
with the whole ex-stepmom thing.
But also what happened is I felt that what I made her feel
or what she felt in that moment.
It's almost like I was having a life review around cannabis.
And I was crying, it was this very emotional thing.
And for like two weeks after that, I felt kind of empty.
When you break up with somebody,
you might feel a little bit empty.
Because now you have all this space inside of yourself.
When I broke up with cannabis,
I felt empty for about two weeks.
And it felt different because I was so used to being high
most of the time when I wasn't working.
For me I worked a sales job.
So I know some people that can smoke and go to work.
But I couldn't do that.
But after I would look forward
to so much at the end of the day, me smoking cannabis.
Now, cannabis I think is a very powerful teacher
and healing like spirit in this reality in a way.
However, at the same time, there is a shadow to it.
That shadow is that then people become codependent on her.
People become attached to her.
And then it's hard for them to break up with her.
It's hard for them to detach from her,
because they get such a level of certainty.
It's almost like you're in a relationship
that you know you've outgrown.
But you feel so comfortable in it
because you're so used to it.
When you pick that up and you smoke it,
you get the sense of certainty of this emotion.
And maybe even though there may be some inner turmoil
or inner pain from the past,
it kind of goes away for a little bit.
Now there's like, I've talked about it before.
But if you were to calibrate the level of the vibration
of marijuana or cannabis,
it would calibrate at a level on a scale of one to 10,
I think it would calibrate at about a five.
And what happens is if you're feeling a three or a two
or the pain of your past, you feeling a five is high.
But what eventually happens is you will outgrow it.
But you will keep going back down to it.
So it's like, you could be much higher.
You could be at a seven or eight out of 10.
But you're bringing yourself back down to the five
because you're valuing certainty.
You're valuing that girlfriend being there.
That relationship being there.
But you've outgrown it.
It's like Alan Watts says,
when you get the message, what is it?
When you get the message, hang up the phone.
That's what it is.
So imagine we just keep picking up the phone
and we just keep listening and we just keep talking.
But we already got the message
and we're just kind of staying online wasting our time.
I also think that with cannabis,
there's an energy depletion that happens.
If you've ever seen somebody that's extremely passionate
and smokes cannabis or weed, I'm sure exists.
But a lot of times when I would smoke cannabis,
I would be around friends
and it'd be like, so what do you wanna do?
I don't know, man.
Let's just like, do this or do that.
And so there's almost like a loss of intensity in the voice.
There's a loss of passion in the voice.
It's just become so okay with being
it's like everything's okay.
And you know that, that can be a very powerful lesson
and tool.
But it can also, if you're doing it too much,
it can be something that's holding you back
from really accomplishing something great in your life.
I think that to create your dream life
or to create something magical in your life,
for me at least it's required quite a bit of energy
and focus.
You know, I made videos every single day on YouTube before
for like months before things really picked
off back in 2017 and it required a lot of focus.
And it also required a lot of like me detaching
from the friend group that I had that was smoking a lot
of cannabis because it's addictive almost to be
around people doing it.
You then have like, well, why not do it?
And it was kind of sad because then I'm also
letting go of like the people associated with it.
But I promise you, if you want to, you know, take your life
to the next level or really make a vision come true.
It requires energy
and you will have more energy when you are meditating
and raising your vibration naturally than you will.
If you're smoking cannabis to relieve the tension
maybe you're smoking cannabis
because you work a job you hate
and it kind of relieves the pressure at the end of the day.
Well, if you start doing what you love, you'll start
to have self manufactured energy where you don't need it.
So, this is like, you know, I made that choice
and I take cannabis is a very positive, good thing
but it also has a shadow.
And for many people it's depleting their energy.
They're overusing it, they're abusing it.
And they've already got the message
but they haven't hung up the phone.
And the thing I want to encourage you to know is
that it is worth it to let go
of something and to really wire in a new vibration
meditate every single day, ground yourself in grass.
There's other things you can do that make it
an easy transition, but realize that, you know
if you're listening to this far in the video, back in 2012
if I would have heard this before I quit smoking cannabis,
I wouldn't even listen to this far into a video
because I wouldn't have been ready.
I didn't want to hear anything that like
negated the positives of smoking cannabis
but eventually I started hearing it more and more.
And my guess is that if you've watched
this far into the video, then maybe it's time
that you let go of smoking cannabis
or that you at least weaned back on it.
And you started going after your purpose,
you started meditating.
You realize that your natural state
of being is to feel high all the time.
To much higher than you can feel smoking cannabis.
If you were to do the shadow work, if you were to heal,
if you were to go into your feelings,
cannabis can sometimes make us numb
and not feel our feelings
but the key to healing is feeling.
So feel it, allow yourself to relieve that pressure,
allow yourself to really wire in a new reality
to use the energy that you were given
that you naturally have to grow a vision.
And to realize that as you do that, everything will change
but there may be an initial week
or two where it feels a little bit empty
but I promise you if you stick with it, it will be worth it.
It will be worth it for you to let go of something
that's depleting your energy,
that you may be overusing and abusing and understanding.
It's still a divine thing.
Maybe it's something you can do occasionally
but be really honest with yourself
and aware of how it is affecting your vibration.
Because I do believe that cannabis
for many people may make them feel high
but if you were to do the inner work
and you were to meditate, you would feel even higher.
And when these in smoked, it would bring you down.
I remember months after I quit smoking
I then tried it again with friends and guess what happened?
I felt way less high than normal.
I remember when I went through my spiritual awakening
I was walking through my room thinking
and hoping I hope this feeling doesn't go away.
I felt high all the time.
And I felt like on a scale of one to 10
I felt like at a seven or eight out of 10.
And I was like, I hope I don't drop back down to a three
or four and need to smoke to get back up to a five.
And what really happened is
that became my natural set point.
Yes, it fluctuates, I have more frustrating days than others
but I bounce back and I believe your natural state
of being is to be an eight out of 10 or 10 out of 10.
And you start to do the inner work, that will naturally
start to happen.
And you will naturally start to feel high.
I also have a meditation for raising your dominant vibration
so that you can feel a seven or eight out of 10.
It's one of my most powerful meditations
listen to it for 21 days.

and understanding that you're naturally
meant to feel high all the time.
So would that be and said,
I hope you guys enjoyed this video
