Finding clarity in values vs feeling content in a muddled perspective that spins you in circles has been on my mind lately

Hi Tom ! I have difficulty to stay connected to my new perspective and I get caught in old behavior patterns, thinking patterns, lots of judgment, the classic addiction cycle, it’s like a loop that I’m stuck in, psychedelics allowed me to see and be aware of the loop (I still got back in that loop after the trip lmao) and to « meet myself », I wish to stay connected to myself. I have read and watched lots of spiritual stuff but as I’m not grounded I would be overwhelmed. I would like to break free from the loop and have a new start by implementing foundations, knowing what are these foundations (like healthy eating, breathing exercises, not doing certains things like masturbating, and some books that are a good basis to build a understanding of the reality). In a nutshell, practical advices to implement, I feel like from a solid basis everything else will fall into order, i will be able to grow slow and steady while staying connected to myself and not projecting an image with my ego. I hope you understood a bit of my message because I’m a little confused at the moment. Much love to you brother, thank you ❤️

Chronic pain is hard for me. Being 20 years old you want to move freely and express urself through movement. I cant do thaat since about 1.5 years. Cant even work or go to college cuz I cant write cuz my wrists hurt so bad. I am eating clean, daily meditating, daily tea drinking, daily learning about myself. Still I cant lower my pain and start healing. Although I am gaining deep wisdom from this painful journey, I just want to be healed and have a healthy funktioning body

The two biggest issues I’m dealing with right now are having to deal with being in a long distance relationship and being in my head too much throughout the day. In terms of my spiritual path, right now I am most looking for being as open as possible. I think I’m pretty good at that when I’m by myself, but my issue is more with when I’m talking with other people and someone says something that triggers me and I start arguing or trying to point out why I think that person is wrong, instead of staying open in that moment and listening to their side. It’s like automatic for me, and I don’t even think about it. Glad to hear you’re planning to get back to work on this channel as well. I haven’t watched all of the RAW Spirituality videos yet so no rush for me lol.

A few years ago I had an experience with Jesus, a very similar to what Steven Bancarz shared in your podcast. I felt that God loves me and wants to give meaning to my life. As a consequence I quit my bad habits, I quit smoking, drinking, porn, masturbation and started reading the Bible eagerly. I kinda felt that I really am in communion with god. Unfortunately those great times are over, and now I'm experiencing a crisis of the soul. It seems like choosing hedonism and to ignore the teachings of Jesus would be a much easier path. Drinking, drugs porn and promiscuity seem very desirable now. But at the same time, I don't want to give it up because a part of me hopes that somehow I will regain that kind of union with God that I had in tha past (or an even better). So, these are the biggest issues I'm dealing with lately. By the way, I find your channels very unique. For instance, inviting someone who holds different beliefs (Steve Bancarz) and having a conversation with them shows great character. Doing the NoFap challenge videos were also great and inspirational. Keep up the good work Tom! Love from Hungary!! ❤️

Even after having meaningful spiritual experiences, day-to-day life is still as hard.

Something I realized recently is this positive/negative perspective that's very popular these days. But the thing that's important is that darkness isn't the presence of shadows, but rather the absence of light, and this is what science tells us, and this idea I've applied to my own life to great effect.

What is the definition of a good person ? How can we always keep evolving towards the good side in this unfair world

Hey fam long time no speak!
I wish to make more content on self development / grounded spirituality on this channel. Do you mind if I ask you a couple questions, so I can have a better understanding on what you wish to see more of?
1. What are the 2 biggest issues you’re dealing with?
2. In terms of the “spiritual path”, what would you wish for more than anything else?
I've been very occupied with my other channel, so please forgive the lack of videos lately. I'm working on it. Lol.
