- Have you ever had lucky underwear?
Some type of like clothes that you wear
and when you wear it, you feel like you're just luckier
and maybe people come up to you more.
You just like, you get the right response
that you're looking for from people,
or you get like, you're in the right place
at the right time for the right parking spot.
Or you hit every green light or something like that.
And you're like, oh,
I'm wearing this lucky underwear or this lucky shirt
and every time I wear it, good shit happens.
We used to have this green shirt
and it was like an Irish, it was a bright green shirt,
and it has something to do with being lucky and being Irish.
And I remember I used to wear it all the time.
But I would wear it anytime I would go to do something
where I wanted to be lucky.
And I found that it would work.
And I was recently looking more into this.
I've been actually having more of these ideas lately
about enlightenment and understanding what that is.
There's this YouTube documentary it's called Samadhi.
It's like an hour long, it's got like 5 million views.
And it's all about, Samadhi's like all about this thing.
That's not really a thing that we try to understand.
It's like, non-duality, understanding,
in actuality, when I talk a lot
on my channel about enlightenment,
because I'm so enlightened and everything,
I talk about how everything has no built-in meaning
other than the meaning you give it.
All right, so there's like this neutral thing,
everything in reality is pretty neutral.
Like this thing right here, this is like an incense holder.
Okay. It's a neutral prop, has really no built-in meaning.
We might all agree that,
hey, if you put like incense in here and you light it,
it like, it has a beneficial use,
but it has no built-in meaning
other than the meaning we give it.
But if you give someone
who maybe like used to get spanked
with one of these when they were kids,
they'd probably think that this is a very negative thing,
because of that.
I remember when I was growing up,
I got hit with a spatula.
There was like this huge fucking spatula,
that had like this huge thing like this.
And it was the closest thing that was around,
when you know my story and everything,
I know you guys have heard it,
like the whole ex step-mom thing.
But anyways, one time or a few times
got beat with a spatula.
So now every time I walk by my drawers, it's like,
dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun in my kitchen.
But there's this negative connotations
that we might have towards that.
But the negative connotations comes from,
it's actually a neutral thing,
it's just a fricking spatula.
My brother got hit with a flip-flop,
a flip-flop, frickin flip-flop or a belt.
I remember getting the belt when I was growing up too.
Don't hit your kids, okay?
Nah, psychological warfare is just as worse.
But anyways, we have these associations
around these things that are completely neutral.
And we look at them and we're like, this is what that means.
But a lot of times the things that things mean
come from past experience,
like things that happen when we're kids and stuff like that.
And now we're maybe afraid of flip-flops
or maybe we're afraid of spatulas.
They're just neutral things.
Can we just love on the spatula or the flip-flop?
Can we not see the benefit of the flip-flop
being able to go on the feet?
And we can just like walk around in it, you know?
And it's like protecting the bottom of our feet
from like the really harsh planet earth.
Just kidding, love you Gaia.
I'm all around right now.
Look at Mother Gaia, she's all around us.
Oh my God, can you guys feel her energy?
I just really wanted to show you my pool.
I was like sitting over here,
I'm like does everyone know
that I have a pool with a waterfall?
I was like, I have to show everybody.
Just kidding.
Or am I?
Anyways, okay, so we're talking about
everything has no built-in meaning
other than the meaning we give it.
Your lucky underwear, I'm sorry,
But your lucky underwear is only lucky
because you believe it's lucky.
It's a permission slip.
Bashar talks a lot about this.
Imagine everything in life
is like a form of permission slip,
It's giving us permission to feel
and to be a certain way.
I know like Pacquiao is a boxer.
He has like a certain hotel room that he stays in
when he goes to certain, when he fights.
And there was this one time
he didn't stay in that hotel room and he lost.
So the meaning that he gave
to this whole experience of him losing the boxing match,
you want to know what it was?
Because he slept in the room that wasn't his room
he normally stays in, that's why he lost.
If you look at UFC fights.
Yes, I watch UFC.
I know it's not the most
high vibrational thing in the world.
I know that.
But boy do I like watching it,
I'm gonna watch some tonight.
And you want to know something the great fighters do?
They do these weird little rituals.
Jon Jones, or the lot of them, they'll go into,
he does this ritual where he goes and he beats people.
No, but he does this ritual thing.
If you know UFC, then you'll know with that's regarding.
But anyways, he does this thing
where when he goes into, he goes into the UFC octagon thing
and they do this thing where they like crawl in some of them
or some of them like kiss the floor
or they like feel it, like they're like feeling
Mother Gaia or something like that.
And what is that?
That's an anchor.
You guys want to know what else an anchor is?
My name is Aaron
and I help people expand their consciousness.
That's just the fricking anchor.
It gets me in the state.
It's a permission slip that I use.
Also, I guess it's science, because it's a association.
When I go like this, expand their consciousness.
Guess what?
It's like, I guess it's something to do with my physiology
that gets me into the moment.
Anyways.
The key and the point of this video is like,
okay so when I've studied enlightenment,
enlightenment, from what I understand
and what I intellectually analyze enlightenment to be
from my very high pedestal that I sit on as a YouTuber
is that first off, I'm not enlightened.
I mean, can you even,
I am not enlightened.
Can an am even be enlightened.
This is what I wrote down on my iPad yesterday.
I said, is enlightenment a verb or a noun?
Or is it a pronoun?
Or is it what kind of part of the English language
is the meaning to enlightenment?
That's what I was trying to figure out.
Because what Osho says,
who was supposedly enlightened before,
I don't know all the stuff that happened with Osho.
He said that "enlightenment is not something you can attain.
It's a realization."
So in a way, what if we're all enlightened?
But the dream, the hypnosis that we've been under,
is that we're so conditioned by society
and we're so on this hamster wheel
of trying to become successful
and trying to like get somewhere we're not,
that it keeps us out of this moment.
What if enlightenment is just simply the present moment?
That's it?
What if enlightenment is being present in the moment.
I remember, I was like really looking into enlightenment,
like, what is it?
And I think it's like,
if you unlearn everything you've learned
and you're just present to the moment
and you treat every moment as if it's a new moment
and you don't bring memory into the present moment,
then it's like, you're enlightened.
That's what I heard some guru say in a YouTube video,
okay? So it must be true.
But what if, I remember one time I went to a Bashar,
like conference thing and I asked Bashar, like,
what are the belief systems of enlightened people?
Like Jesus and Buddha, what were their belief systems?
He's like, they did not,
what he said is he said
they didn't really have belief systems.
I'm like what? Beliefs create reality.
I don't understand.
Please explain Bashar.
And what he said is "the thing with enlightenment
is they know thyself, they know thyself."
What do they know?
Maybe it's more of an unknowing.
But it's like, it's like they know themselves
so they're able to let go.
They know themselves instead of belief?
But maybe what they know is that like,
they're a part of the divine source consciousness.
We're all eternal spiritual beings
living this illusory reality.
So they know it's an illusion,
so they're able to do cool shit.
Like in "Autobiography of a Yogi"
with Paramahansa Yogananda,
he was around enlightened dudes
that could do some pretty cool shit.
One guy was 400 pounds and didn't eat anything.
You could think he's enlightened,
maybe he just as a very slow metabolism.
Did you think of that?
He's like, he doesn't eat anything, but he's 400 pounds.
Like why would he choose that?
Maybe he's transcended food.
It could be that he just has a slow metabolism, though.
I mean, that is a potential reality here.
But if everything is, if reality is an illusion,
then maybe like these enlightened people,
'cause he also cool enlightened stuff
where like one of his,
he left like the back door and his yoga,
his like, guru guy, Sri Yukteswar,
like had a homeless guy go in and steal his cauliflower
or something like that.
It was kind of weird, to be honest.
Like it's a weird twisted sense of humor.
I can get with it though, I think it's kind of cool.
But anyways, back to the moment, back to the present moment.
What if the reason they can do cool shit
is because they know reality is an illusion?
And they're able to then like do cool stuff like that.
But one of the important parts of this
is realizing that reality is an illusion,
reality is kind of like a game and you can hack the game.
Not like in PS4 or whatever,
when you're playing San Andres and like, you can,
you can have like tanks just appear out of nowhere.
Maybe, maybe that's like the next level of our reality
is like, that's 5D.
5D is you push X, zero, zero,
back right 2, back right 2 and guess what happens?
You don't have five stars
where there's a whole bunch of policemen coming after you.
And you could like, do whatever,
do whatever you want and just shoot that,
it's kind of a violent way to go about it actually.
But I do believe that beliefs create reality, right?
So whatever you believe to be true
is being reflected back to you.
Everything is fundamentally neutral,
other than the meaning you give it.
And that a lot of what will change our life the most
is letting go of shit, letting go of the past story
about who we are, letting go of also the rigidity of like,
this is the way reality is.
And as we let go, guess what?
We let in a completely new reality.
So it's like letting go of the believing
everything is so heavy and serious.
And allowing stuff to be simple.
Okay? Can we just allow it to be simple?
And can we just be present to the moment?
And when I was asking Bashar the question
about enlightenment as well?
He's like, he always says this thing, he's like,
are you following your excitement
as far as you can as you can follow it until you, like,
basically his thing is like,
follow your excitement, follow your passion.
I was like what's the quickest path to enlightenment Bashar?
And this is like in front of a hundred other people,
you know, at one of his events and he's like, well,
"Do you know the formula?"
And I'm like, you're telling me the formula,
it's called the formula.
You follow your excitement as far as you can find it.
And then like until you can follow it
with no expectation of the outcome,
like it's this whole thing, right?
I'm like, how is that the answer for enlightenment?
But what if that's what enlightenment is?
It's just like being totally okay
with this present moment being here meow.
And then what?
You're here now, you're enjoying the present moment,
you're following your passion.
Maybe the enlightened gurus,
their passion was like this sense of non-self.
That was their thing.
And that's why a lot of things I like to teach
is like letting go of attachment.
Letting go because attachment
equals root of all suffering.
Buddha said it, okay, so it must be true.
At least we think he said it,
Did he say it?
Or is it just stuff that was written in a book?
How do we know any of this stuff even existed?
Anyways.
Let me know if you want just more raw videos like this,
where I just kind of share stuff like this,
the ideas that are going through my mind.
