- The degree to which you let go
is the degree to which you will then let in
and have the ability to receive.
So this is understanding what is called
the law of subtraction.
Many people have heard of the law of attraction
and the law of subtraction I would argue
is even more powerful than the law of attraction.
Also, it's the missing key for so many people,
'cause a lot of people are focused
on what they wanna bring in,
what they wanna bring in,
what they wanna attract, what they want to visualize
but they haven't actually made space for it.
And what the law of subtraction allows us to do
is to understand that less equals more.
The more you let go, the more you let in
and in this video,
I'm gonna explain the law of subtraction to you,
show you why it's more powerful than the law of attraction.
I'm gonna show you how to practically use it in your life
and how this is the missing key
to you really creating more abundance in your life
than ever before.

Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron.
I help people expand their consciousness.
Now on this video, I'm gonna be sharing with you
the magical law of subtraction.
This is something that I have learned
and I have been practicing in my life since 2012,
when I learned about it.
How did I learn about it?
A lot of it's been through personal life experience.
Recently, I went through
all 2,000 YouTube videos that I have
and I looked for the one thread,
the thing that has changed my life more than anything else.
And really what it was, is the ability to let go,
the ability to let go of these things.
Now, Buddha himself said that "Desire and attachment
is the root of all suffering."
So think about that.
Desire and attachment is the root of all suffering.
When we are attached to a person,
when we are attached to an idea, to a thing,
to the past version of us, when we are attached,
that's what creates suffering.
And one of the reasons being is because of the universe,
things in our life are always flexible and changing
and if we remain attached, we create resistance
and think about it too,
anytime you've really, really wanted something,
you've probably felt a lack or a yearning
and then that creates the feeling of lack.
So really, this is stepping out of lack and scarcity
and stepping into abundance.
Because abundance isn't attached,
because it knows that there's more.
Abundance is not wanting and desiring, abundance just is
and that's what the law of subtraction allows us to do.
So the idea behind this
is that you must first subtract to then attract.
And this means looking at what are your current attachments?
What are you currently attached to?
The bridge from me living in my old reality,
to me letting in a completely new reality of abundance,
of new opportunities of like a 2.0 version of me,
was I had to let go of the old self.
I had to let go of the old attachments.
And many of you know this story,
just because I shared it many times on YouTube.
I made 2,000 YouTube videos on like versions of it
but the bridge for me working my nine to five job
back in 2017 to me living the life I do now
is I had to let go of the version of Aaron
that was the nine to five job goer,
that just got paid a paycheck based on 40 hours a week.
I had to let go of my perspectives
as viewing myself as that.
There were a lot of blocks that I experienced
in wiring in and letting in the new version of me
because I thought to myself,
who am I to make YouTube videos?
You know, I went daily on February, 2017
and that's what created a lot of momentum
and I felt like a lot of blocks,
self-worthiness blocks,
really caring what other people think blocks.
I had to let go of caring what other people think.
I had to let go of the nine to five job mentality,
which is, you know, I just show up and get paid an hourly.
I had to start valuing my own time differently.
And I had to let go of the pain of my past.
I had to let go of my labels, the nine to five job goer.
I've had to let go of the label
of having ADHD for me to then get into a more Zen space,
so that I could have better energy
and not feel so dependent on Adderall,
which is the prescription drug that they give for people
that have quote unquote, ADHD.
I had to let go of the label around being a nice guy
or a people pleaser.
I've had to let go of many different labels
that I've attained.
Even now, like I'm a YouTuber who makes YouTube videos.
I'm letting go of that label
so that I can start doing live events.
You know, there's a constant.
If you wanna make room for a new version of you,
there's something that you have to become aware of
and you have to let go of to allow it in.
Also it's the stories, it's negative beliefs.
If there's one thing, I'd say its identity and beliefs.
Our beliefs create our reality.
Many people are trying to believe
that they are worthy of X, Y, Z.
They're trying to visualize the perfect relationship
and believe they're worthy for it.
They're trying to believe that they can attract
a whole bunch of abundance and become very successful
but they haven't focused at all on the letting go,
the subtracting of the old identity,
of the old belief system.
What is your story about love?
What is your story about money?
What is your story about success?
What is your story about health?
That story for most people is on autopilot.
Most people think that this is the way reality is.
Now, the interesting thing is that a lot of times as well,
those stories while they're on autopilot,
we're not even aware of the stories themselves.
For a long time, because of my past
of, from seven to 15 years old,
having the ex step-mom in my life
who was controlling and manipulative,
my dad divorced her when I was 15,
I developed a belief, a meaning about women
that women are always trying to control me.
So I had a girlfriend that was always trying to control me,
I had a manager at Nordstrom's that was very controlling.
There was always someone in my life
to reflect back my own sense of unworthiness
because that's the way it works.
Reality is reflecting back to us our stories, our beliefs
and when we remain attached to it,
that's where the pain comes
because the universe is just feedback
from whatever those beliefs are.
So 90% of the transformation in your life
is you becoming aware of the beliefs you have,
the stories you have about reality,
about other people, about your past,
that keeps you attached.
So the key is letting go of attachment,
the labels that you may give to yourself.
I'm single, even like the negative beliefs
like men are this, woman are this,
or, you know, it's hard to find your purpose
and a lot of people just believe that money is bad.
Like these things are all beliefs that we may have learned
from childhood that keeps us in a scarcity mindset.
An old identity, a person,
many of you might wanna attract love
but you're completely attached to an ex, you know?
You can't allow anything else in when you're attached.
So the key to this is realizing
that you must make room for the new.
A metaphor that I like to use for this
is think of it like a closet.
If you have a closet full of clothes
and the thing is, is full of clothes in this closet,
you wanna bring in new clothes.
And the thing is, is what most people haven't done
is they haven't purged out and let go of stuff
that they're never even gonna wear anyways
but that's filling up their whole closet.
There's no room for anything else.
Now, the reason that this is hard for people
to let go of the clothes in the closet,
let me show you why.
This right here is the scale of consciousness.
I'll also go ahead and put it right here,
scale of consciousness.
You'll see love.
You'll see at the bottom, shame, guilt, anger, neutrality,
acceptance, reason and love.
Reasoning and love.
Reasoning is the intellect of the mind.
It's our beliefs and our beliefs create our reality.
So what happens is the reasons
we have to hang onto those clothes
because we identify with those clothes.
Maybe our mom or dad gave us those clothes
and if we let go of the clothes,
then in a way, we're devaluing,
or we are, what is the word I'm looking for?
We are like offending our parents in a way.
We are degrading our parents by letting go of the clothes
and the negative beliefs they gave us
because they had it hard, we should have it hard too.
We feel guilty if we let it go.
You see, we wanna remain loyal to our parents.
We wanna remain loyal to our parents' limiting beliefs.
Because when we do that, we are honoring them.
We don't wanna dishonor them.
That was the word I was looking for.
So the thing is to become aware with this
is that some of the clothes you have in your closet,
some of the beliefs you have,
the labels you have were given to you by your parents,
were given to you by your environment growing up.
And what we can begin to do is realize
that maybe it doesn't serve us anymore
to have those clothes in our closet.
I've had to let go of like,
my dad is a traditional nice guy, super nice,
people-pleaser's like a common theme in part of my family,
so I've had to learn to completely let that identity go
because the nice guy and the people pleaser,
what they are doing
is they are giving and being nice
in exchange for validation.
And I've had to learn the hard way
that it doesn't actually not only not get results
but it's not actually authentic.
What's authentic is to express my actual authenticity
for who I am, so I had to let go of the old value.
That's another part of this, is letting go of the old value.
I let go the old value of wanting validation
from other people.
I had to let go of needing validation
from parents and family.
I remember when I was getting on YouTube,
I'd have friends and family,
I just knew I was being judged
and it would stop me from wanting to take action
or stop me in a way
and I had to become aware of it and I had to let it go.
I had to not need their validation.
I had to like believe in myself, you know?
And that's the thing,
is when you start believing in yourself,
when you start letting go of caring what other people think,
less is actually more.
You then allow in.
So less is more because you can't allow more to come in
until you let go of the old.
So letting go is a choice that you make
and I made videos on this before.
I'll go ahead and link below a letting go playlist
that you can listen to to really wire all this letting go in
and letting go is making a choice, that's it.
I made a choice in 2017 to let go of the limiting beliefs,
to let go of the caring what other people thought
and believing I'm not credible,
letting go of my nine to five job mentality
and I made a choice to let in
and to be a new version of me
that was making daily videos on YouTube.
And as I did that, my whole entire life began to transform.
It was a choice that I made.
What was hard is that maybe for six months,
I thought about it.
Letting go is not actually hard.
We believe letting go is hard,
then it will actually be hard.
It's the belief about letting go,
letting go is simply a choice we make.
If you let go of some of the clothes in your closet,
it's actually very easy.
The mental analytical mind is what makes it hard.
It's like, well, my mom gave me this
and then I got this when I was six.
And then I got this, how can I let all this stuff go?
It's all the mind that that creates it to be hard.
And sometimes also we're afraid to let things go,
'cause if we let it go, then we invalidate our past.
Think about it, there's always a payoff.
Anything we do that we remain attached to, there's a payoff.
You could even be attached to your ex,
you could be attached to negative beliefs.
And you're like, well, what's the positive of that?
I'm experiencing a lot of pain.
The thing with that is that a lot of times
people remain attached
because they think that if they let it go,
they're gonna lose it forever.
They're gonna lose their one shot at love, you see?
Or they aren't realizing that they're addicted
to an energy of neediness
or they're addicted to somebody
that's maybe not giving them,
they're addicted to being in a relationship
that isn't fulfilling
or where someone's not emotionally available.
You see?
So a lot of this is becoming aware of the payoffs
'cause the payoffs always aren't positive
but the payoffs we might be addicted to
because it's replaying childhood trauma.
So if this makes sense, and if you like videos like this,
can you go ahead and like this video and subscribe
if you haven't already.
I'm gonna be doing more videos on letting go to let in.
I wanna show you guys something cool real quick as well.
So this is minus equals more.
Now, when you let go,
you let in and what you can then do
is realize, look at this.
Let go, it's simple.
It's even in this little symbol terminology right here.
Let go and you will then let in.
So with that being said, go ahead
and hit that playlist below,
watch more of the letting go videos
and watch how it begins to change your life
and how you make room for the new.
So with that being said,
I'll see you guys in the next video.
Peace, much love and namaste.
