Humbowl - Spirituality, Personal Growth, Meditation, Higher Consciousness

I found a new appreciation for every other human being in my life. I had a deep daydream about being endlessly rich, cars, clothes, houses, the whole nine. The only exception is you will never see another human being ever again. Not even a person serving your coffee. I assume this life would absolutely depression. Even if you are introvert, we live for others, whether we care to admit it or not. You write music, other people listen, you post a photo, others like it, you buy a new shirt, to show it off.  Recently I have been looking at others from a different perspective. Seeing the pure, childlike, part of everyone. That part of us that wants nothing more than to be loved, to be happy, to be at peace. We all want this, and we are all constantly doing everything we can to approach this pleasure and escape the pain that life can, unfortunately, plague us with. We all simply have our own ways of going about this. Some help others, some compete with others, some steal and others keep to themselves. People us

A very good question, we’re always told to be ourselves, to follow our hearts. We are ridiculed and called out as “fake” if we’re ever a little different from our normal selves. Personally I’ve had friends say “you aren’t yourself lately, what happened to the old Cameron” hearing that always broke my heart because I didn’t even know if I was being the real me or if I’d changed. I was ultimately confused. I’ve come to realize that who I am, is and always will be, in the present moment. Sometimes I feel like joking around, so I’m cheerful and playful. Other times, I am mellow and would enjoy a thought provoking conversation. I change moods and vibrations all the time, it doesn’t mean I’m not myself, I’m just in a different mood in this present moment. So I say different things and make different decisions. Life as we know it is this vibe right now, ALWAYS. So how are you feeling? Whatever the answer may be that is your experience of life in this moment, yesterday you were in this moment, and tomorrow you will b

The Confidence Paradox We all know at least one or two people who carry a vibe that is so attractive and fun to be around. We know this because when we meet these people they make us feel comfortable, they make us laugh, they keep things interesting. They’re enthusiastic and charismatic. I’m talking about confidence. But not the big ego pride that some people have where they do nothing but brag and talk down to people. Real genuine confidence. I have an interesting way of looking at confidence, especially coming from a guy who has dealt with shyness, social anxiety and insecurity his entire life. I’ve had my fair share of embarrassing moments and self doubt. But recently I have been able to completely eliminate nearly all fear and replace it with unwavering courage and confidence in my self. I achieved this personal transformation in a seemingly counter-intuitive way. Just keep in mind we are not the human bodies and persona’s we are constantly being judged by and judging. We are so much more. 1 — DO NOT PICK

So long as we are human, ego will be a part of us, that little voice in your head, disguised as you, judging, condemning and complaining. So realistically we cannot "get rid" of our ego. What we can do is introduce our authentic selves, the highest place within us. The part of us that just is, and is loving, kind, creative and has no judgment, no fear, no desire, it is simply enjoying and at peace. This may sound too good to be true, but this being is inside each and everyone one of us.  Before we get into how you can awaken to your higher, authentic self. I'll quickly explain the ego as described by Wayne Dyer, with a few examples. Also, I must preface all of this with the fact that, ego, and the thoughts that accompany it, do not cause suffering in and of themselves. It's the attachment and identification to this ego that shuts us off from our true nature. Now ego is comprised of 6 components: I am what I do (my accomplishments, where I've traveled, etc.) I am what I have (my possessions, money, clothe

It is interesting how it is extremely easy for human beings to feel more alone than ever living in this age of digital communication at high speeds 24/7. If you're human, you've felt loneliness, sadness, and a desire to be loved. Some say every human motivation stems from love or the desire for love. I have so many people in my life who support me, they care about me, they are there for me when I need anything. But still, I have the capability to feel the dread of loneliness. The night of October 12th, something happened to me which gave me a lot of insight into how we can rid ourselves of these feelings.

I have spent a considerable amount of my life trying to win over the approval of others. I felt deep satisfaction as a child if I was praised for doing something right. As a young musician on stage growing up I got way too much approval for my own good. It made me entitled to the approval of others. I barely needed to try to impress people, all I had to do was play the drums and people would praise me for it. So you can guess my ego was massive growing up, and this area of my life was the hardest to let go of. I have finally let go of trying to impress others. I’m done! You have no idea how liberating this is. You may not realize how hard you try to win over the approval and love of others. It is something hidden so deep in your subconscious. Your ego has done a fine job of convincing you to be somebody you are not just for some praise. 1 — REALIZE WHO YOU REALLY ARE You are not your appearance, let alone your achievements, talents or anything else you receive praise for. You are nothing but a loving awarenes

The other day I was in a field with two close family members having a chat under the sun. It was a beautiful spring afternoon and we were debating the idea of aliens. When all of the sudden I remembered something, I recalled that I was actually sleeping and this was all a dream. The moment I did so I looked closely at the fabric on my clothes, the feeling of the breeze running through my hair. It was all too real. But my two cousins were agreeing with me, “you should go” they said, “you’ve got a life to live.” I got a rush of excitement, a nice afternoon turned into a lucid dream and I began flying around like Superman. Then I woke up, in what we call “the real world.” That entire morning I spent contemplating life, is this real? The dream almost seemed more real than this. Who am I really? Why am I here? What is life? Is this like inception? A never ending cycle of dreams? This all seems extremely philosophical but it gets good. Now I thought to myself, the only thing that remains is my consciousness. It doe

We live in a world where we’ve always been praised for our accomplishments, from a baby’s first words to its first steps to high school graduation and beyond. When we achieved something growing up we were nearly always met with positive reinforcement. Completing a school project or performing a song, learning a musical instrument, cleaning your room and the list could go on. You’re probably wondering how there could be a dark side to achievement when everything on that list seems to be beneficial in our lives. Allow me to tell you my story briefly, growing up as an achiever.   (instagram) @humbowlspiritual YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjAbEHyFQK3NGqnnAYLezwQ

I had a lovely purple vape, even named it Bridget. I didn’t know this at the time, but my identity was wrapped around this vape. My ego thought I was “all that.” Bridget was the biggest vape in the store, she took 4 batteries! Rather than the normal 2 batteries that most vapes take. See, look already I’m comparing and bragging! Long story short Bridget slowly died, first the wiring was soaked in vape juice and crapped out, then I dropped the tank and the glass broke. Let me tell you, I’ve never felt more empty inside over a possession since the time my friend broke my Call of Duty disk and I cried (true story). I felt like I lost a part of myself. I was identified with the way I looked with Bridget in my hands, the fact my vape was bigger than all my friends. That’s what the ego tells us: You are what you have.   (instagram) @humbowlspiritual YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjAbEHyFQK3NGqnnAYLezwQ

This video is all about how to move past the ego and stop worrying about what other people think. The ego has 6 components and today I talk about a big one for me, something that has always been a problem in my life, and that is the idea that you are what others think of you, others opinions, judgments and all. But the truth is no one else can define who you are, its impossible to define how divine you are with words. The moment you label something is the moment you've put a limitation on whatever it is that is being labelled. Also you cannot please everyone so trying to be on everyones good side is impossible. I had a rough day, but a perfect day. I learned more about this part of the ego and so I decided to make a video talking about it.   (instagram) @humbowlspiritual YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjAbEHyFQK3NGqnnAYLezwQ

Throughout our lives we are faced with seemingly tough decisions or changes we must make. I’ve been thinking about decisions and why they can be so frightening and difficult and I have thought of a way we can make changes or decisions with confidence rather than fear or despair. For whatever reason for the past 3 years, decision making and changes have been so easy for me. I recently quit drinking completely. I quit nicotine and coffee. I went vegan, started eating healthy and meditating each day. I even quit my job which was uncomfortable at first, but a decision I had to make for my own good. All because of my chosen perspective on the matter. Here are a few things I thought of when it comes to making tough decisions or changes easy.  (instagram) @humbowlspiritual YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjAbEHyFQK3NGqnnAYLezwQ

Don’t take yourself so seriously... A lot of the time I find people take themselves & life in general much too seriously. I personally think its silly, you should never not do something because you have a reputation. We seem to put on a filter and we are rarely acting as our authentic selves. Only you know who you are, so why would you stop being yourself? It really makes no sense. Don’t be afraid to exist freely, meaning you should follow your heart, just stop thinking and live from your heart. Deep down you know whats best for you, follow that path, because that is what you are meant to do. Do it not because it looks good, because other people will love or hate you for it. Do it because it is you. Act from you true self and you will be met with peace and long lasting happiness. So long as you believe in what you’re doing and letting go of your image in this world.

In this video I talk about my definition for enlightenment. Every talks about this amazing things called enlightenment, and I try to explain what I think it is, or what a part of this amazing things called enlightenment is.

In this video I am introducing this spirituality channel I call "Humbowl" I am arriving here from the most humble point of view possible, I know there is so much more to learn on journey. But I simultaneously have a deep desire to start a conversation and share some of the spiritual concepts that have changed my life. BACKGROUND MUSIC - its my all time favorite meditation sound by non other than Ralph Smart. One of many who have completely transformed my life. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjt7... So in this video I also describe my spiritual awakening experience that has completely transformed the way I see the world and live my life. The day the illusion of the Ego became clear, the day I brought light to the darkness of the ego so to speak. It was the day my ego was exposed and I was able to consciously, at all times, when ego arises, to disassociate myself from my ego.

On a day to day basis, you’re most likely faced with ego. Whether it be of a loved one who’s feeling down or, a total stranger at work who just seems to be so angry for no reason. It can be especially frustrating if you’re working on yourself and, trying to grow while being surrounded by this energy. It’s an inevitable confrontation that you’re going to learn to deal with. I have dealt with many peoples egos on my journey and, I’m sure you have as well. One of my greatest teachers, Cameron Dube always says to me, “place love, in the face of hatred” which I believe to be so beautiful. Never fight hate with hate, all the ego wants to do feel negative feelings. So, why would you want to enable that, you would just be fueling the flames. Putting love in a place that feels pain is one of the most magical things you could do, it makes people reflect and it tells your own ego that its not welcome!
