In this profound video, Oliver Gohari explains how remaining emotionally open transforms us exponentially. Many individuals move into mindfulness or spirituality, looking for a sense of closure or resolution to their troubles. Oliver explains that, actually, staying open is one of the most profound shifts anyone can take on their journey —what Oliver calls friction - as this is the "resolution" we are looking for

Transcript

So a lot of people come to spirituality and they're looking for resolution to their woes and what I say to people is stop looking for resolution,

Stop looking for closure.

The lack of resolution is the resolution.

You have to turn up day after day and surrender yourself to the surfing experiment and some days you're not going to be able to surf the waves,

You're going to fall off and you're going to go and distract yourself using the other vices that you've used all your life such as shopping,

Such as food,

Such as pornography,

Such as sex,

Such as social validation,

Such as heroin,

Crack,

Cocaine,

Amphetamines,

Opioids,

Benzodiazepine etc.

But if you are dedicated,

If you've had enough of trying to suppress and run away,

You do get back on the surfboard and you do surf more and more.

So my role for you as your coach,

As your transformational coach is to remind you that you have your own personal wave system of emotions and that will never stop.

It will reduce for sure because when you actually start seeing and surfing on your crap it will stop being as intense.

You have to see this like a lifestyle.

That's why I call the lifestyle unity life.

It's a unified system that you live out every day and it's that openness.

Remember it's not closure.

It's not like we've found that oh if I go to this spiritual teacher all my pain goes away.

No,

You stay open,

No resolution.

The whole human experience is it's about non-resolution.

We are we are inherently part of the whole.

Like the whole you could call God,

Brahman,

Total consciousness,

Source,

Allah.

That's perfect and that's resolved.

God is resolved.

It is inherently complete consciousness.

Life as a human being is inherently unresolved.

We are descended from the whole and the problem that people have is that they're looking for closure.

They're looking for resolution.

They're looking for that feeling of completeness,

Wholeness,

Closure as I put it resolution that should not exist on this plane,

On this realm.

This realm is an open unresolved realm where we come as souls to transcend many things but it's not here to just get closure and comfort and total resolution on a spiritual metaphysical level.

So what I do for people and what you might be feeling now is I empower you and I remind you and I give you confidence that it's okay,

It's okay to feel,

It's okay to feel all that crap because so many generations before you,

Don't forget to click follow by the way if you're new here,

All of the generations before you not to point the finger but other souls other beings that were perhaps less evolved on their journey.

Mothers,

Fathers,

Grandparents,

Great-grandparents,

Great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents they couldn't handle the waves.

They never went surfing and so I'm here to tell you as a soul if you believe in that because I do that your job is to finally crack the code,

To stop running away from the waves,

To surf them finally to not resolve,

To stay open in friction and remain open.

When you remain open in that friction and you go surfing every day,

You do your meditations,

You live your lifestyle healthy and clean,

Your diet and your lifestyle choices are clean and pure and sativic you could say from an Ayurvedic perspective,

Clean whole foods diet,

Then you as a being evolve,

You turn into a diamond,

You turn into a gem,

Your true essence comes forward and it only comes forward when you stay open,

When you stay unresolved.
