@@andymiller1820 I wont and I love this channel. But it will be obvious to everyone before I fully believe it myself. Im just seeing too much stuff that doesnt add up in the world. Trying to show people feels like the guy that found the hole.

This reminds me of the quote, "The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison."
- Fyodor Dostoevsky.
You've blown away the Illuminaty's secret and they're not happy with you. Long ago Rockefeller said he doesn't want a nation of thinkers he wants a nation of workers. and you're *thinking* too much, so rockefeller wouldn't be happy with you especially radicalizing others.
Ergo, American "democracy" is an illusion and a prison. Think about it!
Shuttered Island.
@@PBAmygdala2021 it's not that simple... The American Republic was probably the closest thing to not being an illusion as has ever existed in terms of a society... But, as always, evil has risen to the top and slowly turned it into an illusion. So yes, it is an illusion, but I think it's only because we as Americans let it become one, not because America itself was bad.
@@WideAwakeHuman very wise words, thanks.
Blame is a tricky thing. I don't know what the solution is to put things back on track. With a democracy you need to win the hearts and minds of millions of voters to achieve significant change. And we're up against incredibly well organised and generously financed opposition.
The mind is the hardest jail there is, because you are the judge who put yourself there, the cop who keeps you there, and the prisoner who is trapped. But you are also the one who has the key to your cell, and only you can let yourself out.
Loved this saying
so the KEY is suicide?
@@hunk2140 no, God no. The key is your thoughts, the key is how you see the world, how you choose to interact with it. You are always free to get out of your cell, because you only need to decide that you want it. It is a hard process,sure, but it is possible. And when you decided that you want out, it's really does become easy. The hard part is to decide tou want out and to recognize that you put yourself in a prison. When you realize that you'll be free.
Suicide is never the answer. You can always make life better. And I know it's hard, maybe the hardest thing you've done, its certainly the hardest thing I've done, but it is possible, please don't give up, you can do it, and you're not alone, even if it feels like it, there are those who care for you and there are those who love you. And if you feel like giving up, remember that even if its hard today, even if you can't see any more light, there will always be tomorrow, the sun will shine again and it will shine on you,showing you there is light ahead, the flower will bloom once more and it will bloom for you, showing you the beauty in life, reminding you the beauty in your life. There will always be a better tomorrow. Please don't give up on all of that, dont let the fear win. You can do it. You can make everything better. I believe in you
@@shimonbanana6973 whew!!!! Glad you didn't leave that guy hanging out to dry. or didn't see his message. You will never know if you actually prevented something. Glad you were paying attention.
@@hunk2140 You're partly right but you gutta know something. You will meet some beings out there that will try to manipulate you and you'll be tricked to get memory wiped then to reincarnate on earth. Bam! You think it's a joke, search for vids of kids talking about how they were forced to reincarnate and how they provide evidence by identifying their previous life family members etc.
Don't go to that light. You hear how they market the phrase follow the light in movies etc? I guess you now know that the mainstream media lies to us to program our minds so that we become more enslaved in the matrix.
Search for at least 10+ vids talking about how the light is a trap where souls are reincarnated. You're right about trying to escape but then the mind can be tricked into accepting something, into consenting, also look for breaking soul contracts and how the famous saying of coming back to pay for karma is a trick used by archons to trick you into reincarnation.
Does it make sense to say yes you can free yourself using the mind but then the same mind is the one that gets manipulated into accepting shady deals? so you see you've got quite some work to do.

Wah
Plato's Cave allegory is timeless. Unfortunately, so are the caves we're in, as it appears.
Caves must also evolve with the times. Mansions come to mind.
I love ur vids
The original tell-a vision
...now we have living rooms(mancaves) with black boxes with colorful shadow projections(broad-casted program-ing)
We never left the cave...we carry pocket versions right now.
precisely
Once a person experiences the world outside, the illusion is shattered for that person. The difficulty then becomes to teach one's own children how to recognise reality. If you raise them culturally, by sending them to school, then they might not ever see the outside.
These videos help me calm my anxiety, like the universe is so profound and large. Everything you are overthinking right now does not matter in the grand scheme of things.
Agreed. It's one of those divine dichotomies - everything and nothing matters at the same time. We have to remember to ask ourselves whenever we're faced with an issue or conflict, "In the grand scheme of things, does this really matter?"
I felt exactly the same. But didn't know how to put it into words. Thank you
That's a great way of putting it--I get it and feel the same way too.
Or maybe it doesn't have any apparent meaning to you now, but it does in the greater scheme of things.
@@StephJ0seph yup, that's the thing... we can't really know. should you be concerned that we're potentially in a prison? if we are, is it important to try to escape? in the grand scheme of things is it actually unimportant either way? who tf knows? not i

This beautifully illustrates why we should be humble in our beliefs about reality. There's a lot we know, but a lot we don't, and we should be open to change. People identify with their beliefs and as a result, hold onto them so tightly they miss the real beauty of reality. Truth is always better than fiction.
Nicely worded. Kudos to you good person.
@@dwightschrute7021 Thank you:)
What do we know? All we can really prove is our own existence because we experience it, everything else might aswell be an illusion
Truth is not only better but also stranger than fiction.

"Nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind I tell you. In fact, when others seem to be bothering you, it isn't others, it's your own mind."
- Dalai Lama
Funny, the Dalai Lama is a free Mason. So even he has managed to lead people into the belief he is all seeing and true just research his interaction with the politicians and Vatican. If he was a true spiritual leader he would be neutral but he is not, he is owned and used like a puppet to deceive the rest of us. You may like the Lama, but you are now in layer two of the system that this channel has been exposing. If you get the prisoners to believe they are free they are still enslaved, The Lama is a prison guard for the elites, think about it!!
If you have cognitive Dissonance to this fact then all you are doing is a disservice to yourself, and pretending to understand the knowledge you desperately seek. Go research the Lama, you will one day leave the layers behind and be truly spiritually free!!

I'm not one to have existential crises.... But HOLY SHIT THAT LAST PART HAD ME SHOOKETH!!!
Guess we just gotta keep searching for the Truth...
im in shock as well jajajja
My takeaway from it was, why even bother if we're almost certain to never get there?
@@StephJ0seph My brother and I talked about this the other day, it's really a matter of what kind of reality you want to live.. What matters to you.
For me, I am driven by discovery and Truth. So I always like to search for what more there is out there...
But for him, he doesn't care about anything so long as he can do what he wants to do.
So why bother is really up to you.
But what is the truth? There are no truths, and if there are any we'll never get there. We humans are too small for that my friend, just a very tiny manifestation of a whole universe that is part of a bigger whole itself. I think 'a possibility' would be more suitable instead of 'the truth'. Just a personal opinion though. 😊
@@MrNovaMusic1 Truth, like perfection, is the Horizon. It's a goal and direction you set for yourself to feel the winds of knowledge push your ever onwards in the exploration of life.
By pursuing Truth, I believe we humans can connect with ever grander aspects of reality. We may be small in body, but we can be infinitely large in mind,... so long as we refuse to limit ourselves to our current ideals of what is real.

@@stephenwalley5762 Its similar to the quote "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, its the illusion of knowledge". Which is a quote that is much easier to read and comprehend.

Great modern day interpretation of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Also I loved how you changed the ending from killing him to the different layers that humanity has yet to uncover!
Keep up the amazing work ... you are a modern day philosopher, the likes of Plato himself!!
You're the RUclips equivalent of Richard Bach. I love your stuff, even if it is just Plato rehashed in a 21st century context.
allegory of the cave transformed.
The classic Greek Platonic Allegory of the Cave. Always a wonderful philosophical consideration.
Neat to hear updated versions that modern humans can easily identify with.
Is that a reptilian,,,?
Great work! I guess you paraphrased Plato to Kato for this "Cave's Myth". I really enjoyed that you took this Myth one step further than Plato, combining Black hole theory and Holographic universe theory. Keep on making great food for thought!

For all of those who have explored their psyche. Those who have broke out of their ignorance. Utter respect.

Exploring your own mind is a maze in itself,,,
@@Blueway360Gamer yeah but you can break out of layers of ignorance.
Fear is the great driver of the human condition. Many people reject looking inwards because they're afraid of what terrifying truths they might discover.
I read an article some years ago about a guy who'd spent some time in a deep hypnotic state. He'd come out of it and seemed somewhat changed. The revelations he came back with left him in a profound state of distress. The doctor took some time to help him aclimate to his new reality. Then, having discovered truths about himself and the world that brought him to tears, he left the office. He went home and ripped his wife's face off with his bare hands. The police found him there, making no attempt to escape, on his knees in her blood weeping. He spent the rest of his days in a high-security mental health facility having been declared criminally insane.
Im absolutely terrified of diving fully into the psychedelic experience and I think this video convinced me that I must.
When the video started, I thought he was talking about the future of our species on an alien planet, and when it ended, i realized it was a theory of our origin. A true plot twist
Actually, it's a metaphor for how we perceive reality.
@@captainunderpants200 yeah, but it might as well be the truth. I was just pointing out that the writer put a good plot twist in this version of the cave allegory.
i was thinking the same
I also tought the same way
He's describing the present moment - the present is when we have our experiences. The past doesn't exist - the future is a projection.

The irony of getting engrossed in watching a RUclips video about how some people are trying to escape a 2d video world in order to live in the 3d 'real' world was not lost on me.
When Keto attempts to tell the others of his experience outside it reminds me of attempting to tell others about my experiences on DMT

Describing psychedelics to your aging parents as they recognize you aren’t a teenager anymore and you are serious and there’s something to it beyond what propaganda they were fed as children be like
tru
Your parents are just like any other person on Earth, they shouldn't get no special treatment.
The whole video I couldn't help but think of someone spiritualy awakening on something like say 5-MeO-DMT and then trying to explain what they experienced to say a devout conservative Christian. The video did throw me for a loop though at the end when the people that called themselves enlightened were really not awakened to the ture nature of reality as they were only at level 2 of 1,000. Really makes you question things. Can we even trust our experience, how do we ever know if we're deceiving ourselves, is it even possible to really know the truth? Man gonna have a hard time sleeping tonight haha
@@MostGenericUser exactly what I was getting at! It just brought a lot of different versions of this idea to mind, it’s a great analogy. And yes it seems that no matter what you will always be biased towards the sensory parameters of whatever filtration your consciousness uses to select which aspects of reality to select and assemble into a perceived experience. But maybe that’s wrong too and I only think that must be the way because of my bias towards the limits of my human perception, it never ends haha
Just remember we are both a naturally formed segment of the Milky Way galaxy, as in we are actually a piece of the galaxy which is naturally conscious and aware of itself through seemingly natural processes alone, idk why but I started thinking about it last night and it hit me in a new way, I hope I can share that sensation with you haha
In a sense We’re just neurons in a cosmic brain, we only seem separate.
Idk anything I’m just sharing some thoughts because it’s fun.

At the 6 min mark it's like someone experiencing a high dose of DMT and trying to explain the experience, it's not impossible, just really difficult.

Another day of existential crisis. Thanks for the upload!
Us humans have always required an explanation for the way things are and this need to know has dictated our survival and so we come up with any explanation we can to make sense of our existence. Eventually, these stories we tell ourselves become so essential to our survival that we deliberately shy away from the truth, because the realization that your entire life is a lie is too painful to bear.
Entire life is lie, how?
@@hiteshranjan4576 I'm not saying a specific person's life is a lie, I'm saying that the realization that someone's life is a lie is painful.

@@hiteshranjan4576 Name something in your life you haven't been made to believe. Language has been imposed on you, models of the world have been ingrained in your brain, including your very own identity, all a construct. What is truth? We don't know, but at least you know what it is not. Human thought is a self perpetuating machine and you (and me, and us) are playing an active part in perpetuating the cave we are living in, a cave constructed with language and symbols that build upon previous knowledge from others, in order to try to make sense of the sensory stimulus that is being fed into the "brain" you've been told you have. What makes this real? Maybe reality would be living like an animal without being able to judge any the stimulus, without splitting ourselves from nature as independent observers, maybe reality is being merged into a big ocean of unity where there is simply raw experience. Maybe this is reality, and the constructs we've built are pulling us farther from it.

Holy moly! Great contemporary version of Plato's "Allegory of the Cave." Only peppered with existential crisis!!
"To understand a complete truth, one must not only posses the knowledge of it but also the experience of it."
I remember I had a thought about this one day in class. I was like, “what if there’s something outside what we’re seeing, and what if after that there’s another reality and so on and so forth….” I thought I had been the only one who had thought of this but as it turns out some one else had also thought of this.
The beginning of the video reminded me a lot of the movie "Room" (2015), which is an awesome movie.
The ending of the video though, the last sentence... It gave me goosebumps.
I've turned on the alert for new videos from this channel. I don't know why I always come back to this channel, because it only confuses me about life, myself, and everything that seems real around me. Who else feels like that when watching this channel, but are addicted to the contents it provides us with?
I feel the same way!
Doing DMT is like stepping out of the dome (or cave in Plato's allegory) and seeing yourself and universe for what it really is.
It’s the only substance that doesn’t feel like a drug. DMT. It just feels bigger then me in ways I can’t understand still. Even mentioning it seems weird how people wouldn’t believe the experience of a full blown DMT breakthrough exists. It’s much larger then “knowledge.” It’s larger then the physical universe and all it contains.
For further reading into related material, I'd suggest looking into Simulation Theory.. neat stuff to be sure.. then again, if it's true, knowing won't change anything.
Nice. I think this just made me go through a layer.
We are still stuck on the third dimension...

We are confined to our current perceptions based on the limitations of our body and mind. If we don’t learn what we’re meant to in our human lifetime, then we will be reincarnated to another existence until we achieve or learn what is required to progress to another plane/dimension of existence for our consciousness.
I really loved this video and its rendition of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Thought provoking stuff indeed.
Reincarnation can go the other way as well
A lot of people dream of heaven - an easy lazy life with nothing to do, just an idle, lazy, useless & pointless existence for eternity! Free food, shelter, protected and cared for and kept in a bubble away from facing any REAL WORLD problems
Well, such people will be reborn as say Dogs or Trees
As Dogs we see they will get their heaven - free food, shelter, protection and care and of course no work, no worries and kept in a nice bubble! Heaven!
But this is not a punishment - it is the life they CHOSE and such a life is what they WILL get
Some people see evil people doing evil things and say, "What animals!"
And yes if people born as human beings behave like animals, then in their next life that is what they will be - but again understand it is not a punishment
Hinduism says some people will be reborn as bugs or other lower life forms and their ideas have been much misunderstood - it was seen as a punishment
It is not, it is a choice by people to become such lower life forms

That ending though. whattt. Mind blowing. Really has you thinking.
Man, out of all channel's on youtube this one has influenced me the most in life(atleast so far)
That is what all the mystics of the world have been telling us for ages.
The essence of all religions.
That gives it no credence. This is a philosophical thought experiment, not objective science. Nobody from the past, that includes mystics and scientists alike, were privy to the knowledge of modern science. They didn't have greater insights into reality, just the opposite. That's not to say that modern man knows the Truth, hah no. We're just closer to it.
@@ronking5103 Do you think Science explains all things?
@@SP-ny1fk No, but it does cover objectivity and facts. I completely acknowledge that there is a massive reality that science tells us nothing of: subjectivity. Qualia, Consciousness, the why's, big questions and small. It's not that they are unimportant, perhaps they are more important. Yet, we have no way to measure them, hence no way to agree upon them. Philosophy has its place, as does faith and religion and all of the other ways in which we deal with the subjective. This argument falls into *that* category.
@@ronking5103 Plato's cave is an allegory that looks at the other side of the picture - if science explains everything we know, then to go out of the cave is to be able to think beyond facts - facts are merely shadows on the cave wall.
You are confusing reality (as are the prisoners within the cave) with what we already know - where Reality is made up of both what we do and what we don't know.
To escape the cave of the mind, the prisoners have to learn that Science only provides a map. And that the map is not the territory.
Plot twist: 3rd Dimension is just a second backup security 'fence', still separating Kato from true reality.

Plato would be proud of you ‼️
But he never really existed in reality.
These videos are so trippy!!!
This gotta be my favourite video of yours, great stuff

Before you die its nothing, after you die its nothing. You got to live, or exist for very short time so embrace yourself and always be happy. My cousin told me who has done phd in chemistry.😇
time for my daily dose of extensitial questioning
😂 yeah mine too
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
who doesn't. I think quite a number of people never question
This was actually a good one, bro. You put some fire on the end of that piece there.
The video is inspiring. Thank you for uploading 🙏🏻
I MUST GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. TRUTH ONLY WHO IS THE VOICE BEHIND THIS VIDEO. ARE YOU THERE Welyn ?? (i love and cheers this channel. Thank you for your amazing content Pursuit of Wonder.)
Apparently it's a bit of a mystery exactly who is behind this channel. :)
The problem that people have is believing that they are coming out of plato's cave towards 'reality' whereas they are just entering a different cave.
Keep this in mind if you think you are enlightened!
No one will ever know everything. They can only keep dreaming of it, of knowing all the secrets of the universe, but as they think they are getting closer to escape reality, they are getting further to escape curiosity. Curiosity is a mental feeling that makes you feel like a prisoner in a reality jail. That's what this video is about ❤️
BEST VERSION OF PLATO'S ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE HANDS DOWN. I'VE TOLD THIS TALE PLENTY OF WAYS. HOWEVER, THIS IS MY NEW GO TO VIDEO WHEN EXPLAINING THE ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE. I KNOW THIS VERSION SO WELL I CAN RECITE IT BY HEART. FOR THAT, THANK YOU TRUELY!

This actually made me emotional at times it was stimulating
The prisoners think they have escaped but they are just trapped in another digital world.
Ie from 3d to 5d but still trapped inside the dark side universe controlled by the aliens,,,
my nick name is cado and I feel exactly like cado in his story, everything spoke volumes to me and its exactly what I needed to see rn.
Is it? Really!
Plot twist: Pursuit of wonder are people from the future, sharing their knowledge with us.
So true.

i hate myself for not watching your videos in over a year, guess it's time to binge watch
Your channel is just awesome 🥰
if anyones thinking about death: “death is the physical not the spiritual”
"As long as the prisoners believed they have escaped, they will remain in prisoned" this really makes you think huh
Pitch a live action series on this overarching plot to Netflix, they need the content. And your stories would be in every house. A great twist on the allegory of the cave. Fantastic work.
I wasn't ready for the Borg Cube at the beginning, I couldn't get into the video because the whole time I kept thinking "bro what, they literally would have been assimilated" 😭 Very well done though!
Thanks. A very nice updating of Kato's - I mean Plato's - parable of the cave. tavi.
