In this solo presentation, Aaron Doughty explains willpower as a vibrational energy that can both propel and limit personal transformation. He introduces a calibrated map of consciousness ranging from 125 (desire) to 700 (enlightenment) and aligns each tier with corresponding chakras, showing how willpower (located in the solar‑plexus) enables movement from lower to higher frequencies. Doughty distinguishes between desire, willpower/willingness, doing, and being, arguing that desire is a low‑vibration signal of lack, while willingness is a higher‑vibration drive that can be harnessed to shift self‑image and reality. He illustrates the concept with his own experience of committing to daily YouTube videos in February 2017, which altered his self‑image, freed him from a 9‑to‑5 job, and accelerated his consciousness shift. The talk also covers the transition from ego‑driven willpower to a more spiritual discipline, the importance of balancing lower chakras before ascending, and how emotions like anger can serve as higher‑vibration releases. Finally, Doughty promotes his “Shift Experience” webinar and the S‑H‑I‑F‑T method for applying these principles, while encouraging viewers to engage with his channel.
Chapters
This video, I'm going to show you the vibration of willpower, and I'm going to show you how it is pivotal with transcending your level of consciousness and how you can go about doing that. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron, and I help people expand their consciousness. Now on this video, I'm going to be showing you the vibration of willpower, how it's a very powerful level of energy, but many times it can actually limit us as well because at a certain point there's a transformation of even the willpower. So you may hear people say like, work hard, grind, hustle, and it's like, yes, work hard, grind, and hustle at a certain level of consciousness. However, there are times when then you can begin to loosen up on that a little bit and for me, I would say honestly on YouTube and me being at where I'm at doing what I love, it's because of my willpower. It's because of my discipline. And when I was in the— I was trying to manifest from the lower states of consciousness. I'm going to show you that on the chart here in a minute. When I was doing that, I wasn't getting that great results, but when I decided and I chose to go daily on YouTube back in February 2017, that's when things really started to change. And I'd say even more powerful than me just making daily videos on YouTube. What that allowed me to do is it changed my self-image. It made me know Aaron could— Aaron is the kind of person that can now say he's going to do something, actually do it. Aaron is also the type of person that speaks in third person, just for reference analogies though. I'm so much more enlightened than that. Just kidding. But in general, when you see willpower, If you feel like it, this may be what you need to hear. Okay? This may be what you need to hear. Maybe on either side of this, I'm going to show you why it's the key to then bumping into the mid levels of vibration and then also bumping into the higher levels of vibration, but it's more of a spiritual discipline than it is an ego discipline. So in general, I'm going to show you my handy dandy flip chart over here and it's going to have the levels of consciousness on it that Yours truly, Aaron, who speaks in third person, wrote— or didn't write, I didn't make the chart of consciousness, but I did do this really cool piece of art right here. Can you see it? So right here, what you see, you see 700. That's the level of consciousness of enlightenment. Peace and love is 600. 500 is love. 400 is that of reasoning. So beliefs, understanding that your beliefs create your reality. Or understanding the different intellectual processes of how reality works. That's what they call science at 460. Then you'll see that of the 300s, so this isn't actually 400, this is more like 300, is willingness. And then you have acceptance and then you have neutrality and then 200 and below is the negative emotions. So 200 and below would be that of like shame, fear, guilt, anger. Those are the lower vibrational ones. When I was— here's the difference as well when it comes to manifesting. Let me show you, because willingness, your willpower, your discipline, it's pivotal for going from one level to the next level. So what you'll see right here is you'll see this right here, 200 and below, is the paradigm of wanting and having. If you really desire, you'll notice is at 125. Now how is it that so many personal development people have said you must have a white-hot burning desire? I kind of like, sound like Bane from Batman or something, but 125 desire, what that is like, that's like a yearning. And if it's so white-hot that you want something so bad, it may eventually push you into willingness and discipline and saying, I want it so bad that no matter what, I'm going to do everything I can. That's when it becomes powerful. But desire itself is not a high vibrational emotion because think about it vibrationally. I really, really want something says I really, really don't currently have it because now I want it. So that's the key is being aware of that. And when you're aware of it, you're like, okay, well I'm not going to desire then I'm going to more so actualize. I'm going to more so be in the vibration of what I want, knowing that what I want and the desire of it are different realities if I'm embodying it. So when we talk about willpower, you'll then see the second level is doing. So you got that from neutrality up to reasoning is doing. So you got having, doing, being. Then at a certain level you actually have to let go of the need to always become better and always try to improve the sense of the ego. And then you let that go and you just be present to the moment. You just enjoy life. It's a paradigm of love, joy, peace, enlightenment. That's the paradigm of being. So let me just also say this. None of these are good or bad. They just are. Some of them feel better than ever others. There's some emotions like, um, obviously love is going to feel better than anger. Yes, they feel better, but you know that we sometimes we judge ourselves for our emotions and it's not as necessary to actually judge ourselves because that keeps us even more in resistance. Let me show you something. Got it. Okay. So for this, I want to show you something. Look how big this marker is. It makes it so you can easily read it. Okay, so when we talk about that of this level, I'd say that the huge, the huge jump is from here and then it's from here. So it's like 250 for neutrality is when you learn how to observe your thoughts, observe the meanings you gave negative emotions like anger, fear. You may be angry at someone that did something to you. When you get to neutrality, huge jump. And then next, the next level is that of love. And that's when you let go of the reasoning, the intellect of the mind. Now normally what a lot of this includes is imagine a stick figure. It is an ego trying to become a different ego. So you have the ego of the negative emotions, so negative emotions, and then you have the ego of the one you want. That's more positive emotions. They're still both egos. They're still both egos. Now the key is this ego might not take action, might be in the wanting, might have a lot of energetic imbalances because of things that have happened that haven't been processed yet. And what happens is using willpower— willpower is sort of like the intention— you are then able to go into a more positive version of you by then knowing and figuring out how to let go of all these imbalances inside the body and then letting go of those negative emotions. And then the willpower, the willingness and the willpower is what can help you to then start to take action, to then be in this new reality, whatever the action is of the reality that you want. So willingness is right, is right at about 300 and it's your willpower. Also think of it like this. The root chakra would be in the lower vibrational emotion. It's like your survival mechanism. A lot of those lower vibrational emotions are survival mechanism emotions. And then what we have is we have more of in the mids, we have like the sacral chakra, like the relationships, how we relate to the world, acceptance, neutrality. And then we have that And we just keep going up. And then you have that of the willingness is the solar plexus. He has a solar plexus and then love is the heart. And then you just keep going up. It's like, it's, it's very relevant to the chakras as well as what I'm saying. But the key is understanding and balancing out in order to really get into these higher levels, you must balance out the bottom chakras, balance out that of the, the root chakra with your beliefs about survival. Your relationship to yourself and your relationship to other people, healing that. Then solar plexus. Are you doing what you're passionate about? Are you not only doing what you're passionate about, but are you making the discipline to be a certain way and to do that? Because that is a higher level paradigm. So what I wanted to ask you right now is be honest with yourself. Where do you feel like you are a majority of the time? Do you feel like you're beating yourself up because you haven't manifested things yet? Do you feel like there's some lower vibrational emotions that are within your body that you want to let go of? Do you feel like there's, there's, you don't really have a strong sense of discipline, so you don't know, um, you're not in the actual vibration of the reality you want. However you feel about this, know that you can use willpower as a tool to then wire in a new self-image and to be in the vibration of the reality that you want. And that was a huge shift for me when I learned how to take action and to do what I love with that of making videos every single day. My life transformed and I just had this feeling that if I were to do this one thing every single day, that my life would be so different in a year from that time that I thought it. And it wasn't even a year, it was like 3, it was like 3 to 6 months and everything was different. I then didn't have to go to a 9 to 5 job I didn't care about. I didn't have to listen to a boss tell me what to do and talk down to me. And I was able to do what I want when I wanted to do it. And I have that freedom and I loved what I do and I still love what I do. So willpower is a powerful level into a shift in consciousness. However, there may come a time when you let go of the ego willpower of self-gratification of I am Aaron Doughty who makes daily videos, even though it's more so like there's a high vibrational energy that's flowing through me while I'm doing these videos. That's why I'm able to do daily videos is because I just kind of allow what comes through to come through. If I identify with that energy, it wouldn't come through as much. I'll tell you that right now. I know on the inside I let it, I just know it's an energy that's going to flow through. So as long as my intention is to add value to people, it continues to do so. Well, that higher vibrational energy is vibrated energy like this, and we all have the ability to tap into it. Every single one of us, and your passion is going to put you in these high vibrational frequencies. And when you get to there, you can then be and let go of having to do. Now I don't have to take as much action as I have to take. So know that as you move up the scale, your mentality will change because you will be able to do way less yet get way more. If you're watching this right now, the Shift Experience webinar is up and you can check it below. That webinar, you can join it. I'm going to show you how to apply S-H-I-F-T, which is the key to shifting your level of consciousness and shifting your reality. Plus there will be a live meditation session for raising your vibration that you can listen to using group intention. So go ahead and join that if you want to learn. And mainly also I'm going to share the stories of how I transcended each of these different tiers into the higher levels, and I'll show you how to do the same thing. So that'll be in the top of the description box below. Now the vibrational resonance of willpower is I wish I was wearing my yellow shirt right now. It's like me wearing the yellow shirt. It's like, go. When I wear that yellow shirt, I feel like I just want to, I want to do things. I want to get things done, be productive. And willingness is a powerful energy that can get the energy moving. So I know it was like the thing when I was first learning about the law of attraction, willingness but I was afraid to because like, what will people think of this concept? It's not very big online. I was like, you know what, I'm just going to go for it. I did it and it was assigned to me that says, go for your passion, go for what you want to do. Had a huge spike in growth and I also had, it was more abundant than ever before. And that started because I was letting go of the ego's willingness to try to control everything. So do you see what I mean here? That's why you can join the shift webinar where I explain how to have those different shifts in consciousness because These emotions will use you, not use you, but they're important to understand as you're going up because you may judge yourself for feeling anger, but if before that you were feeling guilt, anger is a higher vibrational emotion and expressing that anger is a way of actually letting go and moving up the vibrational scale. So this is why a shift in consciousness is about transformation, transforming the way that you see yourself. Your whole life you may have thought this was you. You may have even started to become successful, then thought that this was you. But the truth is they're both illusions. You are an infinite spiritual being and you can feel higher vibrational emotions by tapping into more of who you really are. So with that, understand that willpower is a powerful vibration, especially depending on where you are. It may be what you need to hear right now. Go within yourself, see what resonates with you.
