Why Spiritual YouTubers SEEM FAKE | *Raw Honesty*

- I go where no one has had the balls to go before! I answer some of the big questions that have been plaguing our world for... uhh... some time! "Why do certain people who claim to be on a "spiritual path" seem so full of sh*t that you feel like you can't trust them?!" I'll give you a hint, it's not because they're pretentious. Oh no, it's MUCH more obvious than that!

HOW TO BE A FAKE SPIRITUAL RUclipsR 100% METHOD WORKS EVERY TIME
Comment of the year...
dakota of earth my boiii! XD
Used to watch ya, but your videos are bs
Pwnage i didn’t notice you stopped watching
dakota of earth I’ll see you at warped tour man
I just find it so weird that people go to these wack spiritual youtubers when theres like a billion different uploads from Alan Watts lectures that would be far more effective.
Yup.
You start to get so aware that you see the limitations of alan watts. You start to understand that you are at full control of your own consciousness and can manipulate it in any way you have the courage to intend. That's what all these youtubers have in common. Shit gets REALLY freaky
TheGerthax Oh yeah. Loooove Alan Watts lectures
What are the limitations of Alan Watts ? ;)
Aldaerion Leet His inability to see that he can genuinely control his own consciousness and travel places using it. His limitations aren't his fault, and he is super intricate with what he knows, but that's as far as he'll go. His assumption base is limiting.
I think it's nice to find community but spirituality is deeply personal.
Dustin Allmon exactly!
@Dustin I think so too. Mostly a spiritual Journey is something you do when you go deep inside yourself. Because of that you can only understand what you experienced by yourself, no need to share.
The superflexible flying Taoist spot on
@@douglasday9507 but you can't give it a name! That's living in the world of symbolism ;)
Du5tin the Wind i agree man
Thanks for making me aware that I said "Disingenuine" at least 4 or 5 times when the word is *Disingenuous.* This is what happens when I try to record very late at night. I filmed and edited this entire thing between 1AM and 8AM this morning lol. I'm happy I didn't notice though - I've messed words up much worse in the past and scrapped entire videos because of it! Anyway, I should sleep. I promise, I'm not usually this unhealthy. Random errors aside, I hope my insomnia/stimulant induced video is able to wake a few people up.
SWIM new name?
This is my second channel. I don't talk about these topics on PsychedSubstance. Only... substances.
SWIM I respect you a lot man, you are a wise person and a great youtuber, but I have to be honest, in my opinion even this comment is evidence of your large ego. It's okay to not know a word. You don't have to make an excuse for using a word wrong. I do this too so I recognize it. Not criticism, just something to think about. Anyways, still a great video, as always.
Negative MegaCrasherMusic, my ego cannot show. I'm too enlightened. It's just not possible. Defensive? Again, not possible. My enlightenment doesn't allow defences to activate. But yes, exactly, I wasn't aware at the time. I get real sensitive around this stuff as well as wrong pronunciations. Everyone has their kryptonite.
Logan at no point did I state I was trying to hide an ego. Rather, I embrace it or I wouldn't post comments like this. I don't care if this demonstrates an ego because I hate messing up words. It's a personal pet peeve of mine which I'm not embarrassed to say. it is what it is :D
Tao Te Ching says quite a bit about the paradox that you're talking about. Here's one of my favorite verses:
Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.
Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.
In short, it's impossible to search for other's approval and discover peace of mind in the process.
I love that, I wish you could translate my book for me 🤣it’s a puzzle to ponder
Q: Why are there so many fake gurus ?
A: Because there are so many fake seekers
I think most people watching spiritual videos are just trying to make sense of our world
thee krppsch agree 1000%
Wow you’re so edgy.
Basically...
Because they want attention for something they wish to be.
They want acceptance from those who are at the level, or wish to be at that level.
And they desire to fit into a community that they are better off not being part of to begin with.
💯
Also I love that you said we're all assholes, I love shitheads that can admit that they're shitheads and try their very best to be a good person, rather than pretend that they're perfect
Oh No I got such a good laugh at that part. It’s my favorite thing a person can see about themselves without doing the self torture thing.
Content Cop - Spiritual RUclipsrs
This is the reason why I started watching you, you tell the damn truth, and you're not afraid to be honest, like you've shown here.
I've been having trouble doing this in my own art (I'm a filmmaker, looking to do more on youtube) and been struggling to find the balance between looking good/being perfect and being authentic. Which has made me basically stop doing videos out of the fear of it all.
This definitely gives me hope though, thanks for always being real, Adam.
I love how straight to the point you are. You manage to fit good gags between making strong arguments and still get the point through very clearly. Most youtubers draw out everyyyy singleeeee video and hardly ever get to the point or even try to make it clear. More commonly with channels these days you’ll only get to see them ramble and try to up-sell their merc lol
As a spiritual RUclipsr, I totally agree with all of this. I've dealt with the same types of cognitive dissonance in my history of posting videos. I even stopped for about a year for a bunch of different reasons, with this being one of them. I would describe it as, 'I want to WANT TO help others.' or 'I want to WANT TO be a healer.' I recognize that, at the deepest levels, I don't actually have the capacity to truly care about helping others, but I wish that I did. But my wishing for this ability to help others, is just another way to want to help myself. And it's like this cycle of wanting to be free from self-interest. But I simply have no capacity to do so.
But the main thing that I'm skilled at that actually CAN help others is sharing insights, analyses, and personal observations. So, I have two uncomfortable choices: Spend my life doing a regular job that I don't excel at or enjoy very much and keep my insights to myself to avoid trying to profit off of an inherently dishonest image, even if it's what feels like it's right for me and can actually help others too even if my motivations are off. Or, go ahead and let go of the need to have the exact right motivations, and just go ahead and do what I do well (and be of help to others, even if my motivations aren't pure) and try to make a decent living off of to support my family, just like everyone else in all other professions do.
Ultimately, I decided on the latter, because even this whole conundrum of purity of motivation has to do with protecting my self image and trying to seem like a good person. I probably wouldn't care about all of these concerns if I was truly free of ego. I would just do what feels right and do the things that help others regardless of my self-centered motivations and lack of ability to do otherwise. But when I experienced ego transcendence, (also as a result of an entheogen) when I ACTUALLY had the capacity to truly love others, I loved them and everything else because I recognized them as an extension of myself.
So, it's not even as though I gained the ability to care about others, when I had transcended the ego. I was still just as self-interested as ever before... perhaps even more intensely than before because I truly loved myself too. I did not gain the ability to care about others, I simply lost the illusion of separation that made me think of other people as being separate from myself.
Meditate on compassion
The Diamond Net loving kindness meditation
I'm familiar with loving kindness meditation, and I do ruminate on that topic just about every day. I care about helping people and animals too. I am Vegan, and I'm always (nearly obsessively) thinking about ways to alleviate suffering for everyone. That said, what I've realized is that I'm currently unable to truly care about helping people with pure intentions just to help. It's always tainted by self interest no matter which way I slice it. And I've sliced it a lot of different ways.
I want to help others because it makes me uncomfortable not to and uncomfortable that the world can be harsh. I also want to help others because it makes me feel like a good person and bolsters my ego and helps alleviate a sense of deep inferiority that I feel. I also want to help others because I know I can do it well in the ways that I'm good at, and I want to make my living from it. My capacity to truly love is very limited and tainted by ego.
Loving kindness meditation is important. It can increase empathy and can help a person establish compassionate mindsets and habits. It can also keep a person from succumbing to "Zen devilry" as they go further on the path. It's truly a necessity to keep compassion and kindness in the forefront as a person walks the path. Because in losing the sense of self, one could also lose their motivations to be a good person who does good things. This would lead to a lot of negative things as the emptiness of the reality becomes more clear. But loving kindness doesn't necessarily help a person permanently transcend the ego. Perfect love does. But loving kindness is more of a practical tool for maintaining compassionate habits. It's similar to the chores that Buddhist monks engage in. Establishing positive routines is essential to someone trying to transcend the ego, which is the main motivating factor for all actions taken under the ego consciousness paradigm.
I understand your point completely but I will admit I have been helped by some of your videos before😊
I am at once genuinely glad to hear it, but also admit that my gladness is tainted by self interest. :D
Do a video on the egoic 'I'm superior because I had an enlightening experience without psychedelics' thing!
Obstacle 3 what's the video called?
I think Dakota is genuine
El Pablo yeah hes one of the few ive stayed subscribed to throughout the years
El Pablo
. . . And NereoSoup . . . Kristal is an incredible human being . . .
DMT Infinity Man kristal doesnt ever upload tho
Dakota is hit or miss
Also spiritvehicle
I notice a lot of people who try to help people here on RUclips with spirituality generally repeat themselves a whole bunch. They just say the same thing 40 different ways so they can keep putting out content.
Parroting
Couldn't agree more 👌
OPEN MIND hau mal ein paar name drops raus 😂
I wish I could watch more of your LSA related videos, but I can only speak English! Cheers to you mate!
You look like the stereotypical LSD user lmao
Rather than criticizing these people’s hypocrisy, maybe we should be thankful that these people are bringing new ideas to those who may not have ever been exposed to it outside of RUclips. Now what perhaps should be discussed is how to not idolize and worship these people as the viewer. As long as we as viewers keep in mind that these people are human too, we can appreciate the message without getting stuck up on the messenger.
Jennifer Thank you friend
I completely agree, but we need videos like this to kick these worshipped people off their pedestals when there are so many young and gullible people
Thank you o great Psychedelic guru! 🙏🏼
BOW TO ME AND GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY SO I CAN BUY SOME TIGHTER SHIRTS
SWIM I like the sound of that
SWIM I don’t think it’s possible to get tighter shirts, unless you want organs flying out of both ends..
People eventually will come tu actually think we're building a sect. Hope they don't realize. Oh master Adam.
LOL
If you try too hard to evade the ego you have a good chance of just slipping into basically narcissism.
El Pablo this! you have to acknowledge its presence when it returns (like after s meditation or trip) i know a lot of ppl who deny it, and it actually feeds the ego when u pretend it’s not there, bc if u think about it that’s what everyone else is doing anyway
Eric Bischoff exactly.
How can you be a human being without having a sense of self? Impossible.
TheAlpineAddict well you can be, but you will not know
El Pablo
Perhaps for breif moments, but you cannot have a human experience without an "ego"
In Koi Fresco's defense. He helped me guide myself into a state being happier. Even if he admitted everything he teaches is to take advantage of people one day....I CAN'T hate someone who helped ME help me.
Absolutely obsessed with how you just started rubbing your foot at 4:46 for the entire Internet to watch.
Koi fresco diss track
This comment 🤣
The raw truth, I’ve been wanting to start RUclips trying to help others with a spiritual life but I was brought to enlightenment by a coworker who straight up told me I was full of shit. This video’s eye opening and I find definitely helps at least with the realization of how I should approach content creation. Can’t be a guru if you aren’t one, appreciate the video Adam.
your co worker are the type of people you need
You can't change anything by blindly sending advise over the internet of you want to help people do it with those around you they likely need it as much as anyone
youre a flop, never met an aussie aye. Kickback, i was just applauding his mate for being straight up
skatelif:} trust me I already do what I can help those around me and have been for the past 2 years to the point where I’ve become slightly annoying because of it. I would just like to move more into content creation as I’ve taken courses and spent time learning filmmaking, I wanna help others while also expressing my form of art simultaneously but the trouble is figuring out how exactly I can do that while being honest and legit, this video just helps out with understanding that a bit more.
I don't think putting videos on RUclips is the issue. Heck it broadens their audience for their message which could affect more people than who would just seek out these healers in person. That being said u do have to look out for people doing it for financial or egotistical gain
Dennis P. Well said
I think the problem is the gamification of it - as your message starts reaching a wider audience, you also get more ego boosts from the numbers and attention, and that ends up tainting your message whether you're trying to contain it or not.
Good rule of thumb - if they say "make sure to like, comment, share and subscribe and also follow me on twitter, facebook, tumblr, and support me on patreon" every video, you're probably better off staying far away.
Wolfin i get what you are saying and i too am skeptical of spirituality YT ppl however spiritual people have to make money to live too. Although they may get some ego boosters this whole comment section regarding koi is not an ego booster. YT “fame” comes with a price and it can crush the ego as well as raise it. I dont know koi, we dont know him. But based off what i have seen he seems open to fixing his flaws and is just a guy finding meaning in what hes learning. Whether he is conscious of the ego driven side of YT or not (im sure he is) is his own prerogative. The end result is hes getting people interested in some way shape or form to spirituality as a whole. I highly doubt those who get a spark of interest from his videos will only ever watch him and not the things he talks about (if they do thats not kois issue). Idk what do you think? I myself am skeptical of all i watch on this platform even adam lol but with skepticism comes understanding they’re all human with flaws and compared to many others may be more aware of them
Most of these 'spirtual guru's", especially the popular ones, do it for the money, there is no shame in it. But that's the reality. They have to earn their wages, too lol. Just bothers me that the audience don't know how to take everything with a grain of salt. Even got into a discussion with some woman, she was sure her TWIN FLAME is real, without any arguments.
Come on. I doubt there are many people out there who do NOT do it for financial gain, because realistically speaking, no adult living in a modern economy has the time or energy to put videos out there for nothing. Absolutely nothing. Might be some kids, and I mean some CHILDREN out there, who use RUclips only as a plaything and don't expect anything in return. MAYBE some adults who are already more than set financially and have nothing better to do with their lives... but you'd have to be an egotistical moron to think there are people out there who care about your videos... and actually there are plenty of those people who apparently also have a lot of time to waste...
RUclips is a huge platform to spread awareness and ideas, I don't think it's all about ego
Agreed
Koi Fresco used to be the best version of what your speaking about here...now he’s a Hindu charlatan that doesn’t care about reality anymore.
Thank you SWIM for speaking clearly on this topic. I don’t believe in anything literally spiritual, but your the closest thing RUclips has to a real guru.
Natural Selection I agree with most of what you said, except I don’t follow any religion. If you wanted a more explanatory description I’d probably fall into, Realist Skeptic, Atheist, Antitheist, Satanist, Humanist. I meditate twice a day but I don’t call that my religion... I effectively sample philosophies and tools I find most agreeable to me and that which is supported by evidence. Meditation for instance is a scientifically supported tool I use to focus my mind on my intentions and teach my subconscious to act less impulsively. I smoke and micro dose cannabis daily to keep my mind focused on the present and to keep my sleep schedule to 5 hours a night. I also like to get high and produce music. I’m not one with God nor is anyone else nor are we collectively. There is no use for the construct, we live in the future where people walk around with micro computers in their pockets. I don’t take that for granted. I wish people didn’t ...
"If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you going to love somebody else." One of the best and most applicable quotes of all time!
I instantly thought of Koi Fresco.
Hey Adam! You should write a book!! Given your apparent work ethic, I feel like you’d be able to tackle that challenge pretty easily. I’m sure that tons of viewers would love to hear what you would do with an autobiography or novel, myself included lol
Psyched Substance is actually a really good thing because it starts a lot of people's journeys in the west. You'll all get to the 5th dimension :)
Adam, diving deep once again! ;) this is seriously the kind of genuine content that we really need though.
Nice bucket hat Adam! 😀
It's my girlfriends, thanks :)
with your profile picture it looks like you are sarcastic.. .-.
hahaha noooon I like it fo real 😂
I loved what you said about the "war" between the psychedelic and non-psychedelic enlightenment and the ego (future video please). And your message in general, in all your videos. But along with your first point, I really really think RUclips can be a huge tool for some people that really want to help and share their inner experiences. But it's true that when money, numbers and likes come into place... it must be difficult to remain true.
Also, it would be great if you recommend some genuine "spiritual" youtubers. Thank you Adam, much love.
John st Julien.
I'd recommend to follow your instincts. If you are watching someone and they feel honest and sincere trust that. RUclipsr's aside, my all-time-favourite teacher is "Alan Watts." However, it's important to keep in mind that no one is ever perfect. He died an alcoholic and smoked like a chimney. In fact, his own daughter states he was drunk during many of his lectures! To me, this only makes him more admirable. I mean he wasn't afraid to do his dance even if others judged him for it. I'm not saying alcoholism should be celebrated, but he made his choice and went with it.
SWIM john st Julien has 30+ disabled kids in his care, over 400+ children out of child labour and into school. He also has a home for abused st boys with over 20+ kids. And to top it off he's got a dog shelter. Plz check him out and shine a light.
Rupert Spira, Scott Kiloby, Fred Davis, Mooji, Eckhart Tolle and Sadhguru
they all have a very strange vibe to them
I think the point of the ego is not to destroy it. The ego is a function of the brain. From my perspective the point is to discover your true nature, and build off of that to have a structured ego rather than an inflated one.
Dakota Wint is the realest
I'm very glad you made this video, I would love to hear the video on Natural Awakening vs Psychedelic Awakening.
Hope I get enough money to contribute to Patreon soon, been with you from the beginning.
Keep on keeping on!
I get that likes and what not give satisfaction, but the fact people can continue on and on with fake videos blows me away.. I can watch you and know your credible and trust you. Keep doing what your doing man. Will always support.
I liked and favorited just for the intro. Love all the work you do "Adam". You're an amazing guy and the awareness you spread is just as fantastic
Every artist needs a muse. When we press an artist to produce, oftentimes what was once a muse, or an inspiration for that artist can lose it's effectiveness. So the artist will produce. But without true inspiration, is no longer creating. When this happens we sometimes turn on that artist. We accuse our beloved artist of "selling out" or becoming "mainstream" but what we fail to recognise is that we are the ones who demanded production from that person. We end up destroying what we loved. We steal from that artist the very thing that made them beautiful.
Hah funny enough I’ve actually had trouble making videos lately because it feels alien and very difficult now after picking apart my ego over the last few months - not a “spiritual youtuber” in any way or even close to this sector of YT... just gotta acknowledge how true that first point seems to be lol. It sucks!
ChelseaLifts why dont you do training vlogs? Do collabs with other female lifters... best of luck! :)
you turned vegan! that's amazing in a way. mission accomplished ❤️🙏
I agree
Sounds like impostor syndrome. Making a new account with that revised persona might help, or you could just make a video addressing it to your viewers. They'll understand the change if they're good people. Anyone who would object is just trying to shape you, and can't let go of the past.
We're different people every second, every microsecond, every Planck second:
"Ever-newer waters flow on those who step into the same rivers." Heraclitus
CHELSEA ??!! WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE?? I HAVENT WATCHED YOUR VIDS IN LIKE 4 YEARS BUT ITS GREAT TO SEE YOU HERE OMFGGG
Totally agree man. Thought I think it's important to understand that the actions of an individual don't have to represent their inner space (though most of the time it does). All of us are just playing roles - the doctor, the business man, the husband, the wife, the RUclipsr. The distinction is whether we believe we are those roles, or whether we simply choose to play them. Like you said, the point of being here is to experience consciousness through an ego. The difference between a harmful teacher or a beneficial one is whether or not they are consciously choosing to play a role to help others, or whether they are playing a role because they legitimately believe they are the shit. A true teacher knows they they aren't shit, and that they know nothing.
It's so mind boggling how it feels like all the thoughts you put into words feel like they have been in my mind as well, I just didn't find the right words or the right place for them. That's one of the reasons I admire you so much. Thank you for doing what you do.
Great video brother 👍. I like the change up of the video! And congrats on the monetization of the DMT video reupload the other day!!
This video was posted the same day koi hit 500,000 the irony hurts
The biggest problem is that these people say if u do A,B & C then you will live in abundance and be happy. Blinding people to the fact that we still live in an unfair world.
So the moral is the same as in any spy movie: "trust no one".
Koi Fresco?
The thing is, EVERYONE is caught in an ego trap. People are who they are because they feel like being that way they're somehow superior, better, more evolved than others.
João Guilherme Castro utter nonsense.
Your comment reminded me of this Alan Watts clip /watch?v=PKVy4JBSerM&t=5m01s
This has been one of my favorite RUclips videos because the honesty is so fucking RAW 😂👌🏼
Well spoken! As a creator myself, I try to balance my love for making art whilst making my content more engaging, and I constantly fear losing my way. Love and attention is a human necessity, but when you throw technology into the mix, it can really throw you off balance! But I'm grateful for the chance to experience all these powerful forces (my Ego, my artistic spirit, and technology) dancing and clashing with each other, like star systems seeking equilibrium when they first begin to form...an incredible sight to watch.
Scams looking for money money money. Fakeness for money. Simple concept
George kush
1 1000% spot on
I’d say I’ve gotten more spiritual information from your psychedelic videos than most hypocritical you tubers peddling their version of spirituality
I love how open you are to admission in this video, keep your soul lifted !
just a quick ps, i watch your videos daily as almost a therapy, when im feeling low ill open up youtube and come straight to your door step and get my daily reminder about bliss and i surely enough leave happy every time
“we are all just a bunch of f***ing a**holes”
So real I love it. I need this kind of down in the dirt talk
Bruh, beat me to making one more video while I'm scripting it with my editor and we're gonna start hunting you down and pillow fight you unconscious. Lol . . . But dude, I couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you for your perspectives. You are an inspiration to us all.
actualized, ryan cropper, and victor oddo are the good ones imo
Actualized is a good one for sure but he does get a bit carried away but he admits when he does which is what I like about him. I mean that is to be expected when you talk for hours, lol.
actualized is so fake that he believes himself to be authentic.
I don’t really think anyone can really eliminate the ego. It’s always there, the only way to move past the constraints of the ego is to accept that the ego will always be a part of you. You have to accept it without judgement to really see your ego clearly, then from that acceptance, and consciously deciding to be honest with yourself, to make the decisions that can give you more control over your life, you move past the dark side of the ego.
I think getting that enlightening experience with no substance use is achieved without having ego in the first place.
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAACEEEEEEEEE INFINITE WATERS DIVING DEEEEEEEEEEEEP
sinan166 lmao, that dude is a goofball 😂😂
yeah but he makes a shit ton of money lol
The cat down the road isn't real
Infinite waters is to legit to quit
Definitely regurgitating information
Yes. Why can’t people just be nice and kind to everyone instead of being an asshole!!! Another great video Adam! I love listening to you talk!!
Thanks PoleWitch :)
Am I a RUclipsr who is full of shit?! Lol I agree with this 100%. You said such real stuff here and I hope a ton of people on RUclips see this. I’m constantly checking in with myself to see if my ego is running the show and if I’m being selfseeking.
Like you said though, we have to look out for number one. It’s this difficult balance of trying to be selfless while also paying the bills.
Thanks dude!! I don't think you're full of shit hahaha. I mean, we all are a little bit. Just don't let the shit outweigh everything else and you'll be fine.
I had some kind of enlightening experience without any drugs or psychedelics, but it all vanished and went away after a month or so.. But I have it in my memory forever..
Adam, you're the most genuine person on YT.
Even if they are fake and are doin it for money or ego purposes. At the end of the day they spreading a good message and seem to help alot of people.
Thats called a false prophet.
So do the nice people at the CRA who helped me settle the fines I don't have with gift card money
Slimeball exactly 💯💯
RUclips is the most practical way for people to give information and insight into a philosophy that works for them. The likes and comments give the creator instant feedback that they can use to improve their channel. Whether your ego is boosted or not is determined by your reasons for creating not by subscriber count or likes.
My thing with koi is that yes there's a point in his videos where he went from feeling very genuine to feeling like he lost sight, his old videos I would recommend but if its within the last year maybe two its probably gonna have a bad vibe
“Look at that big beautiful bald spot! I just wanna kiss it!” I mean, yea 😏
But Leoooooooo
Question What You Fear Leo Gura is the real enlightened one
Ham3a Chauhan Yeah he has had many enlightening experiences and is amazing at explanation. Rali from Naked Reality on youtube was very enlightened guy but he deleted his channel.
leo is the most real youtuber out there
A lot of people can learn a lot from Leo
He's got a lot of great information and content out there, but in my opinion he still has a pretty massive ego and at times he gets really condescending.
U remind me of ME Adam lol. You're going out of your comfort zone to show us REALITY and talk about risky subjects... continue on being you keep loving your loved ones.. positivity n patience is the KEY
I only have 100 subs, but this gives me an unconscious fear of getting big. Sometimes I feel I have things figured out, and can help people, sometimes I feel I need help. I see all these gurus, and I would feel fake acting like them if I feel shit somedays, this is a reason why I literally made a vid about this saying, "look Im not a guru, just a guy, try'na be happy, and live a better life, sometimes its works sometimes I go down the drain of negative emotions" I dont want to be called fake, It would be emotionally draining to make a living about holding an image, and fearing it can shatter any time.
Adam? Where are your socks?
socks are for normies
Under his funny hat
Just saw him throw off the hat. The only logical conclusion is his hat has consumed the socks.
Man who needs socks.
Wisdom.
lol so many people judging Koi. Guy you literally can't get to know anybody until you become close to them. You only get an image you get from watching his videos and social media but that's not the whole picture at all. Stop being so judgemental it only shows how judgemental are you of yourself.
Exactly... Everyone's hating on Koi but that's just what he loves doing. Yes he might a big spiritual ego, but he seems to still practice what he preaches.
Koi also puts in his bio to do your own research and don’t just listen to everything he says. People are trying to put him on blast saying he thinks he’s a “God”. I don’t think people actually watch his videos before they go off judging him. He makes a bunch of different videos on a variety of different philosophies, not videos saying “my way his the highway if you want to become spiritual” or saying “I’m more spiritual than you!” . Also people bringing up money?? Sorry he is like many others including Adam not wanting to be a wage slave and would rather work for himself and do it in a way where he can help others along with himself! Yes there is ego and in my opinion you have to have a little ego I don’t think anyone has zero ego in the Western Hemisphere. Koi is far from fraud you chumps he is someone who wants to help like minded individuals to grow as a spiritual being and if that’s fraud than I must not know what’s proper.
Agreed.
Andrew Nguyen thank you, that had to be said!
Andrew Nguyen being judge mental and critiquing are not the same thing
I watch Mark Bajerski pretty much every day n I’ve gone through my fair share of channels and I agree most of them just upload click bait titles with no substance...BUT if they do help someone to open their heart and live a more positive happy life then who cares, it’s nobodies business and only they know the true intentions behind what they are doing. And if it is all fake and lacking integrity, I wish them love and I hope they one day get out of the pit of deceit they have fallen into.
But seriously Mark is the most humble, honest, uplifting, warming person I’ve ever listened to. He just makes me want to cry with love he is that pure 😭😭😭💜
yo adam, what do you think of the idea that considering the chaotic nature of life, everybody ends up fulfilling a role that was bound to come into existence naturally. Chaos follows a form that humans wouldn't be able to understand because of our limited perception due to time, reality, and morality. It seems to me that humans are like to think we're gaining control of the world, meanwhile everything we do starts being challenged by an opposing force such as a political movement or just random evolution. Disease will always find a way to us, mutations will continue, and we fear them and their consequences even though it was those processes that brought humans this far in the evolutionary scale
Are you talking about Koi Fresco? That is priceless. RUclips beef at its finest. I get where this is coming from though, because you and YourMateTom really started this whole spiritual/psychedelic section of RUclips and now guys like Koi are kinda riding in the tailwinds of videos that you already have made, but he still preaches a decent message every now and again in terms of spirituality. They say some of the best priests have ties with the devil, so that says that the intent doesn't matter as much as the message. Some of these big famous priests I'm sure are no longer in it for God or spiritual path finding either, it becomes more about money for alot of people. Luckily your channel has always seemed very genuine and you have never gave off that impression, but your intent honestly doesn't matter. To be honest, I'd probably still watch your channel if you sold out, because your an entertaining guy and you give good messages. If the viewer is able to pull something positive out of the video, then it doesn't matter what the intent of the producer was, because it has a positive effect in return. It's duality. Negative intent can cause a positive return and vice versa. I get where you were coming from though. It's fucked up that people can portray characters and make a living these days, but I mean you can't hate a man for wanting to live, even if it makes him seem fake.
He’s friends with Koi
I totally get the fake vibe from Infinite Waters.
his videos are not fake :) he is truly happy and living beautifully.
Ralph “The Living Contradiction” Smart
ioannis pngs and you’re just one of his sheep mate, for real I’ve never heard someone spew so much bullshit. Like I said to someone else in this comment section, he’s the JayStation of the ‘spiritual side’ of RUclips. Don’t take it from a gaming youtuber though, have a look online at some articles and other peoples’ opinions on him
The irony of the ad that played being for a "psychic" youtube chose to promote. As for the video love it I try to tell friends to be cautious of these so called gurus and spiritual types online all the time.
My goal in life is to experience as much as possible, while balancing it with doing as little harm as practically possible. Feed the ego, while being self aware.
Koi Fresco
Infinite Waters
Aaron Doughty
Ryan Croppe
Bp Rijal I think Ryan croper at least has some interesting things to say that makes actual sense. But yea the others not so much
Savannah katirtz ryan cooper is so fake its unreal claimed to bring a cockroach back to life with his spiritual power . when everyone knows he stuck it in the freezer for half hour . he is also a massive ego maniac.
Nah Ryan Cropper is fine
Add quartz crystal and teal swan to your list too :)
victor oddo
Anyone thinking about koi fresco
@@Vingeskudt I get a bad feeling about Aaron...and some of the others who make Ayahuasca trendy. I get a funny feeling from Leeor Alexandra too. I've seen a lot of amazing spirituality videos but the ones who overlap easily with motivational speaking bother me.
chris rivera no
Yeah, I am. But I doubt that he would fall under the category of "fake" in this scenario.
I could be wrong, but his vibe just seems a little too genuine.
No one talking about Infinite Waters huh? He is more or less the fucking JayStation of the ‘spiritual side’ of RUclips
Thanks for pointing out these mental traps, dangers and contradictions. It really made me think about my beginning journey on RUclips.
Delineation between the true self & the ego is possible and needed for authentic knowledge of being. Need for approval soaked validation of your own existence seems to be the default operating mode for humanity at this moment rather than traveling that introspective journey through the semi-permanent egoic fissure to finally introduce yourselves to one another.
I’ve tripped many times throughout my life. I’ve never experienced a spiritual awakening during those wonderful experiences; I believe that they gave me the deeper knowledge of my ego, shadow, & inner wounds. Without that knowledge, my natural transcendental trip into the absolute would’ve never happened.
Adam, I think you'd really enjoy and relate to the book "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism" ^_^
*cough* *cough* Infinite Waters *cough*
Though honestly his videos did help me out when I wasn't doing well back in 2014, they were very postive and motivational. But he also had under 80k subscribers at that point
He is a real guru 🔥🔥
Benjamin Randa no he isn’t. Infinite Waters rant coming soon.
Bring it on, wont help to change my point of wiev as he is among those that actually made my light within shine. I trust him
Benjamin Randa good luck with that
@@is_that_multi wheres that rant at? lol hater
I greatly appreciate and agree with this topic. I started my spiritual journey watching all the spiritual RUclipsrs but as my practice turned into my life I started seeing past a lot of the lies and false constructs. That is when I unsubscribed from most of those channels, I had read all the same books as these RUclips gurus I started hearing them repeat ideas and quotes from these books but passing it off as there own original thought. I do not watch spiritual RUclipsrs anymore because your spiritual path is your own you have to learn, grow and come to conclusions alone through meditation and good will. The more you listen to these false prophets the further you get from your own enlightenment. Seek truth from within yourself and live your truth outwardly.
Dude I just commented on the video you released today, and had no idea you had this channel too. Great. Now I have alllll your videos on here. Welp. Here we go lol
It's so funny because of what I specifically said in my comment about my experience of Stillness. I'm very grateful for you sharing these ideas and your journey. Thanks man.
They build a RUclips to help wake others up and to help others go through their own awakening. I honestly think I’d be dead without some of their help, so I don’t think you should generalize all of them in one category.
100%
**coughs** teal swan
I appreciate the way Adam looks at things, I try to be as neutral as I can and see things from as many perspectives as possible. It's a constant battle to step away from my comfort zone mentally and try to understand that everyone's experience and the variables that change everyone's views on the world around them can make for drastically different ways to Express their self in a community of individuals. The fact that we can share many similarities with anyone around us in meaningful ways seems like a special thing we shouldn't take for granted as much.
I think you are bringing up some valid points here. The issue too is that to help people you don't necessarily have to break down your own Ego - so people get caught up in this idea that they have to burn down their Ego in order to be Spiritual. The truth is -- most people aren't going to burn down their Ego if they don't do Psychedelics. I think the best goal is to not TRY to save people's lives -- but to share your wisdom and let the people who are attracted to that gain what they can from your wisdom... :)
Koifresco is the pinnacle of ignorant spiritual youtubers. He is NEVER wrong. Ever. His ego cannot admit that he got somethings about quantum mechanics wrong or I️ had an interaction with him on instagram that completely turned me off to him because I️ realized it was all a facade. I️ can’t possibly take spiritual advice from somebody who doesn’t even recognize their own faults or seemingly have any faults in his own mind. So disingenuous. I’ve unsubscribed from him hahahah
emmamliston what was your interaction? I agree he's so fake
emmamliston lol he’s exactly who I thought of when I saw the title of this video
emmamliston you have to understand something. He is just as human as everyone else. Just because he has become very spiritual which is great because I'm sure it makes him very happy but he's not any bigger than you and I because he discovered all these things. He's human, he will probably struggle with his ego forever and that's normal but he's trying as I am and you are. Don't be so harsh, he's only human.
Tyler, I’m allowed to criticize somebody when their words and their actions do not align and they are being disingenuous. That’s all this is, a criticism. If koi practices what he preaches then he will learn and grow out of criticism from others.
Desi D what video man?
I dont like to describe myself as "spiritual" anymore because people bunch me in with the whole new age, woke hippie, indigo child bs, etc. They judge me as this dumbfounded gullible fool that thinks he can talk to crystals and beleives in the flat earth theory. I dont know what to call myself in terms of religion or beleif. My definition of Spirituality is the connection you have to All There Is, and your everchanging perpective of existence. Something like that. The problem is words and spirituality dont mix. To express or articulate what spirituality is, is like trying to fit an entire ocean into a bottle, and people act like thats the only way to observe the ocean. I think the simplest way to describe spirituality is life. Because life cant be described so simply either. But we do have our own idea and experience of what life is, which is exactly what i think your spirituality is basically. How you relate to existense
Adam you’ve helped me through a lot of crises in life, or just simple problems. Thank you for what you do, and thank you for being a person to look to. Even though this is completely ego driven you’ve helped me as a person and I thank you. Please continue.
Adam don’t get me wrong, ur latest dmt video(s).... with incredible editing and painstaking work are very amazing and entertaining, but these just bare talking videos have something special about them. There’s something about your personality and style that is truly awesome. Love this channel and ur other one to!!!!
holy shift this guy talks as a person and not as a master!
adam how s that workout boy?
*boi
Completely agree with this!! Used to watch some Koi Fresco, I think he must feel like if he doesn't try to pass on this image of living/breathing perfection then people won't listen to him? He seems to lack intellectual honesty about his flaws, as such he just comes across unbalanced, and unaccountable for the fact he's just a normal dude like you and me. Like you say, you must "act as if you know"
Edit: Filming late at night and rambling is good for the soul!
Adam, this was some very relatable truth. Thank you...
check out michael in awe hes so genuine
Michael is great :)
SWIM hey man thanks for the reply ! :) just wanted to use the chance to let you know your videos have helped me a lot with integrating and better understanding my psychedelic experiences. Your videos have brought me a lot of comfort during hard times over the years. Keep up the amazing work dude !
Yeah I was gonna say that I think he is one of the realer ones on youtube
Yes him too! I've spoken to him many times as it's easy to keep in contact with Michael, he's such a great person and can describe in great detail😊
Check him out
