if you trigger other people WATCH THIS...

In this YouTube video Aaron Doughty explores why some people repeatedly trigger others and how those triggers are actually reflections of unprocessed emotions within the trigger‑giver. He argues that every perception of another’s behavior is a mirror of something the observer has not yet accepted, and that taking responsibility for the perceived energy can transform the experience. Doughty introduces the Hawaiian forgiveness practice Ho’oponopono—reciting “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you”—as a method for healing the inner image of others, citing Dr. Hew Len’s work in a mental hospital as a case study. He illustrates how language and meaning shape triggers through the example of the “Liquid Death” water brand, showing how re‑framing the word’s intent (death to plastic) can dissolve the emotional reaction. The talk delves into early conditioning, describing how children who felt responsible for others’ feelings tend to over‑explain and internalize triggers. Doughty then expands to collective dynamics, describing “pendulums” (mass thought‑forms such as political parties or social media) that amplify triggers, and advises observing rather than fighting them. He presents a layered model of consciousness: the conscious (10 %), the subconscious (90 %) as an iceberg, and the collective unconscious as a shared thought‑form, linking these to practices like meditation, plant medicine, and Jungian concepts. Finally, he promotes his High Vibe School, which offers meditations, subconscious re‑programming, and live coaching to facilitate inside‑out transformation.

If you find that simply by being you, you trigger other people, then this video will completely transform your life, help you understand more about why you may be triggering people, and then also why triggering other people may actually trigger you. So it becomes this cycle, but also how to come at acceptance that in a way Maybe this is something you came here to do. Maybe your light and the energy you carry triggering other people allows those things to come to the surface so that you can actually heal that within yourself, and then that also which other people, that is within other people as well. Now, here's the interesting thing. Everything that you can perceive of in your reality is a reflection of something that is inside of you, something you've either not accepted about yourself or something you are becoming aware of that was prior subconscious, now is becoming conscious. And there is always something you can attain from it to do inside-out transformation. This brings me back to that of the Ho'oponopono video that I did that was all about Dr. Hew Len, who founded and modernized this technique that's been around a long time in Hawaii called Ho'oponopono, which had to do with him going into a mental hospital, him working there, and within a couple years, the people that were mentally insane, the people that the, uh, there was a high turnover rate at the people that worked there because there was so much danger. There were some inmates that were clinically insane that were in, that have had to be sedated because they were so dangerous. Some that were in isolation because of that energy. And people that worked there were walking around like this, like afraid. And within 2 years, the entire energy changed. Some of those people got transferred to other facilities. Some actually went home, the less severe cases. And there was this complete transformation at this mental hospital. And the interesting thing was that Dr. Hew Len never actually spoke to the people that were there. Now, what he did do though, this is what he did, this is the magic of what I'm sharing with you, is what he did is he did this process of Ho'oponopono, which is 4 simple statements. It's: I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you. What he did is when he was visualizing and he was looking at these people's charts. He would take responsibility for the energy he was perceiving of, and he would heal that energy within himself, and then he would heal that energy in his vision of them. And what he would do is he would then have a vision where they were healed, and it would heal his perception inside of himself of the energy he was perceiving of. Because the idea is, if you can perceive it, then it exists within your consciousness. Now, interestingly enough, when I first read about this, I thought it was kind of BS because I'm like, how does this guy just, he must have talked to them somehow. Like he didn't do psychoanalytics of like, what's your inner child wound? Let's do a meditation, let's do this. He didn't do any of that. What he did do though, I did more research on it. You wanna know what he did? He walked around and actually engaged with them and would see them as their highest selves subconsciously. We'll talk about more about the subconscious, conscious, and unconscious here in a minute. But by doing that, they would then have these profound experiences. Even if you think to the Bible and you think of Jesus where he would like, they say that the way he would heal is he would see people as healed. He wouldn't see the sickness in them. And what if his energy was so strong that it was like people were, and people believed in him so much that there was like this shift in energy that they experienced as well with this energy that was flowing through him. Now what I'm saying, 'cause something else that Jesus said is, "All the energy that I can do, you can do and even more so," which sometimes I think in religion people forget because they want to kind of believe the power is outside of themselves. They don't believe they are connected to the divine. What if we're all connected to the divine? And by healing our image of other people and healing and accepting the triggers within ourselves, we are then able to move through the triggers in a more powerful way. So one of the most powerful things you could do is to begin to take responsibility for the things that you're perceiving of in other people. Now you may say, well, if I triggered someone else, I was just being myself. Why would I take responsibility for their trigger? Well, the fact that you are even able to perceive of it means there's a trigger inside of yourself of unprocessed emotion that has not been accepted. Because if you were truly okay with someone else maybe not seeing you correctly, maybe someone else misinterpreting you, if you were really okay with it, you'd be like, "Okay, whatever." Like, think about it. Like, think about the context and think about meaning and how neutral meaning is. Now, if you had that of, let's say you went and you were walking down the street and there was like a little mischievous 8-year-old who came up to you and is like, "Your shirt is stupid. I think it's dumb." And that's how they talked. Would you be like, "Oh my God, this 8-year-old thinks my shirt is stupid. I'm so triggered. Oh my God." No, you'd probably be like, "Okay, it's an 8-year-old, whatever." But somebody that's an adult that says that or something similar or something maybe not even done to do with your shirt, but you'd be, "Maybe there's something wrong with me.
Maybe there's something I should do differently.
I don't wanna be triggered." The tension that you feel is the tension I feel 'cause I feel responsible I'm responsible for it, but the meaning is completely neutral. Now let's talk about trigger for a sec here. This is an example of a trigger, okay? This brand, I'm not endorsing this brand or anything, but there's this brand of water, it's called Liquid Death. It's a pretty good marketing play. It's just water. This looks like it might be something else. It's water. It's called Liquid Death, okay? Now what's interesting is I remember that I bought this brand and I put it in my fridge here in Sedona. And I remember one time, like in Instagram, I was showing my fridge. I like to show off my fridge. I got this like fridge with like a glass door and I'm like, it's one of my favorite things in my house. So one time I was like, I was stocking up from like Whole Foods and anyways, this brand was in there and people were so triggered.
Oh my God, the word liquid death. Oh my God, how could you have that in there? How could you be putting this negative definition, This spell casting into everything you're doing, it's so negative.
Well, let's look at this at a deeper level when we talk about triggers. Death to me is something that doesn't have a negative connotation. Death to me is more of a Scorpionic energy of like death and rebirth, like a phoenix. Sphinx? No, phoenix. Now you wanna know what the company actually means when they say Liquid Death? 'Cause people get all triggered. I saw this rant on Instagram of this lady that was like, oh my God, how could you even dare to say Liquid Death? And it was this whole rant about, you know, that people get so triggered with like conspiracy stuff.
They're like, oh wait, this is trying to spellcast and trying to kill people.
Like, no, Liquid Death, what it means from the brand's perspective is death to plastics. That's why it's not in plastic. Do you see how maybe the connotation changed? Like one moment you're like, yeah, Liquid Death, you're manifesting death. We're eternal spiritual beings living temporary human experiences. We're like, the words, the meaning to the word is what the difference is. I can tell I'm kind of triggered. So the trigger, the trigger, the trigger. And I'm like, I can accept though that some people have different meanings for different words. It means death, the plastic. It's also a funny, like, your thirst. It's like a simple, It's like a simple, it's like a funny idea. Okay, so basically when I post this and then people are freaking out, it's like, wow, people get triggered. It's like this big deal because they put me on this thing where they're like, oh, Aaron's a spiritual YouTuber. He has the word death, he must, you know, and it kind of looks like it's maybe not water or something. But the main idea behind this is do you see how the meaning changes? Like maybe it's a little bit softer. You're like, yeah, I still don't agree that, you know, that the word death The D word to me is still kind of scary. But maybe if it's like, you see that part of the intention is to get rid of plastics, maybe there's a part of you that's like, okay, I kind of like that. Maybe it's not as bad like that. It's death to plastic. You see what I mean? What I mean is there's an acceptance that can be had on many different levels. I can accept being misinterpreted because people, I'm like, no, don't you understand that like, The way that I relate to this is differently. So the reason I'm saying this is there's something here for everybody. Now when you think about this, now understand the trigger. When you look at this, you see trigger, when you interact with other people, here's your energy field, there may be a trigger. Other people may have a trigger, a trigger. Now the challenge is when you see it, when you trigger other people thinking that their trigger is your trigger. Now this is where you start to learn self versus other. If as a kid you felt responsible for other people's trigger, you will think it's your job to ease their tension, to overexplain yourself. No, don't you understand? I didn't mean this, I'm so sorry. And it's like an inner child thing where it's like you felt like you always had to overexplain yourself.
So trigger.
Now at the same time, if you get triggered by their trigger, then guess what? You're triggered by their trigger, there's an acceptance of the trigger within your own field. If you become okay with triggering other people, then that can be something where you then just accept it's not as much of a trigger. I remember one time I was going to, I've shared this before, but I was going to Lifetime Fitness or Lifetime Athletic in Vegas. I was with friends. We just got done having a workout. We're in the locker room getting ready to go eat. And there was this old guy in there that always had that kind of like a bad attitude, I guess you could say. He was always kind of grumpy. And I was packing up, I was like in my locker putting stuff in my backpack and he comes over and within 2 seconds of coming over, he goes, "Can you move your bag?" And he went just like that. Like this big dramatic thing, "Can you move your bag?" And then I was like, I was in the middle of talking to friends and stuff and I was like, "Oh yeah, sure." And I just literally moved the bag. It was no big deal. I went back on with my conversation. It didn't affect me. But I can see how if I was in a different state, I could have been like, "You were only here for a second.
Can you just give me a chance to move my bag? Oh my God, it didn't move." And then, "Oh, this means there's something wrong with me. Maybe I'm not, maybe this person doesn't understand me." It could have been a whole thing.
It wasn't a thing though because of my energy, because of my vibration. So I could see, and I could also see, oh, this guy's grumpy. I don't need to like get offended and be like, "You're grumpy.
You shouldn't be grumpy. I'm a good person. Why are you being grumpy towards me?" Who cares?
It's just you can observe things from a neutral perspective. Now there's this one thing that Bashar said that we'll get into this next layer, which I think is very deep for a lot of the people that watch my channel that have this spiritual energy of like, why do I trigger other people so much? Bashar has this thing, and this doesn't have to be some spiritual hierarchy grandiose thing, but Bashar was one time explaining the idea of like ETs coming to the planet. It's gonna sound kind of esoteric. He said that higher dimensional beings, when they come to the— to people and they're like coming within people's energy field, what will happen is as higher dimensional beings come into our energy field, because of the high frequency, it will bring up within our own energy field all the unprocessed emotion and energy that has not been processed, and that that can be a very intense experience. And then what happens is we project onto them all of our dark stuff and we think they are causing it in us. It's like they bring up all the unprocessed emotion from childhood and then we're like, "You're bad, you're, get away from me." It becomes so uncomfortable that we think the ETs in a way are low vibe. So in an interesting way, using that as a metaphor, what if you, by shining your light, by expressing the real you, may be triggering other people But what if your light is triggering the darkness in other people and then they're projecting it back onto you? And what if you could accept that maybe part of the reason you came here was to shine your light, was to express yourself and to understand that when you also carry a certain connection to spirituality, we're all divine spiritual beings. No one's more spiritual than anyone else. Maybe they're more aware of their spirituality in a way, but maybe it triggers other people. Like I know that by me sharing what I share, on my channel, like what I represent to people is this projected spiritual person where even having a certain type of water brand in my fridge may trigger people. If I eat meat, that triggers people. There's like all of these connotations that I need to be this very specific way of what people deem as spiritual to be doing what I'm doing. But understand that what you represent to other people, like for example, if you have, like if you leave, if you live in a small town and you leave the small town and every time you go back to the small town, people are talking gossip about you, you could feel like your family doesn't approve of you that much. It's not just that there's something wrong with you. They may be using guilt. Guilt is a way to control other people. You shouldn't have left. And they may gossip and it may trigger them and then that triggers you because there's not that acceptance. But understand that what you represent to them may be the person that left the small town, whereas everybody else normally stays in the small town. You left the family in a certain way when it's like you knew it was your calling to maybe move somewhere else. I know my friend Victor, they moved from Michigan to San Diego to Vegas to now Austin. But when they first left, there was so much energy there where they would feel weird about leaving. You're like, there's this triggering all the way around. But what do you represent? You may represent like certain spiritual concepts that trigger other people, that trigger people like, no, this isn't, you know, that they may not accept or they may not understand. And that's okay. What if you let it be okay that you were triggering other people and that you didn't internalize it as shame? What if the triggers are able to help you become aware of this, the unconscious, the subconscious? That's the funny thing is when you become okay with the triggers, it's like there's no trigger. So that's kind of like the cure to this whole entire thing. If you accept the triggers and you become okay with the trigger, there's no trigger. And then you're able to take responsibility for acknowledging it within your field. And acknowledgement is really the key to this. Let's take this a step further. There's this idea called pendulums. I even have a tattoo of this idea called pendulums. Has to do with these mass thought forms where a lot of times, whether you're Republican or Democrat, money is a pendulum, YouTube channels are a pendulum, there's a pendulum around different people, especially anything that gets a lot of attention from the collective, there's a thought form around, mass thought form. And a lot of times people think they're thinking their own thoughts when they're really thinking the thoughts of a thought form. Now these thought forms gain energy the more you pay it energy, the more you get triggered by it or the more you fight for it. Now the thing is, is a lot of times some of these triggers may be pendulums. You could say Republican and Democrat. You could say, this is how I think about things. And then someone else thinks differently and then you're triggered. But it's like, it's not even just your own thoughts. It's like the energy of the momentum either way. Now, the only way to defeat the pendulum is, first off, there is no way to defeat a pendulum. It's a mass thought form that is fueled by thousands of people. The only way to like to move through it, I guess you could say, is to observe it. To observe it and actually even ignore it. If you stopped paying attention to social media, if you stopped comparing yourself to other people, Or if you did see it, you just observed it. You saw it for what it is. It's like you're looking through a glass wall. This will help you understand your triggers more. So what you perceive of in other people, the triggers you see in other people that trigger you, the triggers inside of you to accept the trigger and to see what is this representing to me? Is there something I'm not accepting inside of myself? How can I take ownership of this energy more? Let's look at this real quick. This is also a game changer when you think of it. I actually met a dude at the gym here in Sedona that I met before, and we were talking about the collective consciousness, and I kind of had this epiphany moment. This, if you think of this as the bowl, so we have the subconscious, think of it as an iceberg, but we're gonna put this iceberg in a bowl. Next level, right? Not really, it's like this huge earth, but then we're putting it in a bowl. Put it in a bowl, okay? This confined little container that you feel claustrophobic in, but just for metaphor's sake. You got the conscious, it's like 10%. 90% is the subconscious. This is the iceberg. Subconscious uses metaphors, imagery, visualization. When you were 0 to 9 years old or less, like 0 to 8 years old, your subconscious was very much created through the energies that you experienced, what you witnessed in your parents, the definitions you made about yourself. In dream time, you have access to the subconscious. When you do plant medicine, You're into the subconscious. This is when meditation, you're into the subconscious. This is where you can make powerful change. Most people try to change the conscious mind. Observing your thoughts helps you neutralize the energy. Now in the water itself is the unconscious. We could call this even the collective unconscious because we're all, this is also another, this is another iceberg right here. This is another person, but we're all connected. The collective unconscious has all these collective metaphors inside of it. So there's these collective metaphors where, talk about Carl Jung, psychology, talk about the collective unconscious of mass thought forms. I'm thinking my own thoughts. Now you're thinking the thoughts of the collective unconsciousness. Now the power is when you begin to change the subconscious. This is the power. Now one thing that we do inside what's called High Vibe School, It is a process with every course I've ever made, every meditation I've ever made to show you how to reprogram your subconscious, how to heal the inner child, how to let go of the familiar childhood patterns that you keep recreating subconsciously, and how to embody a new you, how to create inside-out transformation.
