Going Beyond With Brittany

📌 IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a long-form conversation and is best watched in order, as each section builds on the previous one and provides important context. That said, timestamps are included below for navigation. Please note that skipping sections may lead to misunderstanding certain points, as this video explores nuanced and layered topics. 📖 In this video, I respond to and reflect on Ella’s testimony using her story as a framework to explore broader themes around spirituality, healing, religion, psychology, and embodiment. This is not a personal attack on Ella. I reference her experience because she brings forward many important topics that deserve deeper discussion. My intention is to expand the conversation, bring nuance, and move away from polarized thinking. I believe rigid “either/or” frameworks, whether spiritual or religious, keep us divided. This video is an invitation into a more grounded, integrated, and compassionate way of understanding the human experience. ⏱️ Chapters / Timestamps 🧭 Foundations: Polarity, Language & Shadow (Highly recommended to watch in order) 00:00 – Introduction & Personal Background for Context06:41 – Light & Dark as Necessary Polarity09:08 – Language, God & Religion as Frameworks14:02 – Language, Awareness & Distortion16:14 – Love vs Fear, Ego vs Soul21:20 – Shadow, Disconnection & Unawareness 🎥 Ella’s Testimony & Pattern Recognition (Context builds throughout this section) 23:47 – Early Trauma, Alcohol & Escapism34:48 – Self-Development as a New Addiction39:45 – Entering New Age Spirituality & Ungrounded Awakening58:25 – Healing Obsession & Lack of Integration1:11:37 – Demons, Negative Energy & Psychic Addiction1:30:52 – Cycles of Healing & Escaping the Body1:35:52 – What Grounding Actually Means1:41:39 – Isolation from Loved Ones & Ayahuasca ✝️ Jesus, Authority & Spiritual Bypassing (New language, same pattern) 1:49:26 – Outsourcing Power to “Spirit”2:00:32 – Spiritual Attacks, Voices & Mental Health2:05:22 – Jesus as Authority vs Inner Guidance2:24:12 – Christian Bypassing & Avoidance of Shadow2:32:38 – “One True Path” Thinking & Division2:39:58 – Deliverance, “Deals with the Devil” & Meaning2:44:59 – Bypassing Repeating Through New Language (Moses Analogy) 🧠 Spiritual Ego, Ethics & Integration 3:00:57 – Bliss vs Integration & the Relief High3:05:51 – Spiritual Ego & Chosen-One Narratives3:16:00 – Mediumship, Ethics & Helping Spirits “Cross Over” 🌱 Final Reflections & Closing 3:28:29 – Validation, Performance & Acceptance3:30:16 – “God Told Me…” & Power Outsourcing3:31:07 – Jesus, Christ Consciousness & Authority Revisited3:41:39 – Closing Thoughts & Announcements ⚖️ Copyright & Fair Use Disclaimer: This video includes clips used for the purpose of commentary, critique, education, and transformative discussion in accordance with Fair Use principles.
