Literally crying tears of joy because for so long I felt crazy, I felt lost and confused. You put my thoughts and what I thought were crazy ideas into words and so beautifully as well. Thank you, I will forever share this.
+franceska Awwwe! You are very sweet. I'm happy I was able to help :)
+franceska Will you forever share this? The game that is happening could be set to ultra difficulty with permanent death. Not to put a dampener on your joy though. You know what they say Live Love Life or Eat Shit Die.
if this is your first time be prepared to go right back to the previous state again.
This is what I came here to say. Thank you adam, and alan watts too
I used to feel like our lives were just a tv show that beings from different demensions would watch.
Thank you everyone for subscribing! Along with philosophical videos, I will also be posting life stories and experience videos here. Basically, this channel will host the type of content I couldn't post to "PsychedSubstance" because it's not all psychedelic related :)
Hey Adam, I just want to thank you for what you're doing. Keep filming philosophy videos like this, I absolutely love comparing my thoughts to yours and writing them, although mine are still not so clear as yours haha
Also, I'd love to hear your thoughts about certain philosophers like Kant or Hegel for example if you know them or if you will read their philosophy
Love IT!! :)
Thank you greatly for continuously furthering your AND our enlightenment by sharing your stories with us. Similar thoughts: Same medium ;)

+SWIM This was awesome!
Dude awesome your doing philosophy now we have very similar ideas lol , I know your inspired by McKenna and Watts who are two of my favourite thinkers :) I think People really need to hear what you are speaking about these ideas philosophies that shift consciousness on this planet in a much more humane and sincere loving direction rather then than the path we are on now :/ Was interested if you have any political/revolutionary thoughts or ideas ? We need people like you who understand the the truth of self, imagination, consciousness, soul to or preferred term; to lead this world in more positive direction I hope. It your interested in all this I would suggest looking at Mysticism. It's also interesting to note the secret societies and hidden powers like the Free Masons and Rosicrucians have studied and guarded knowledge of this perspective of consciousness. Anyway keep up the awesome videos man :)
don't expect normal people to understand your videos. keep uploading amazing videos.
+mat tt Exactly! "We" perfectly understand what you are talking about, because many of us also think about those concepts.
+mat tt What differ "normal" people from the other kind of people you are refering to?
+Marcelo Perelló Botti Normal is just a state of mind. If this message resonates with you you don't need explanation. I would say normal is a "status quo" person.

+mat tt yes wow look at me i am so special i unterstand this, i am better than normal people
Dont do drugs kids, you might become enlightened
Olivia Halsey to be truly enlightened it must come from inside not from an outside source not saying drugs can’t be helpful they definitely can help you see things you’ve never noticed before
@Siyovaxsh En-sipad-zid-ana don't preach to know the only true way, we all experience things differently, let it be
Actually it’s the best thing that can happen is to become enlightened . Shame others don’t get it. Life is too short to go through as a robot . Maybe it’s a mechanism to handle the harsh reality of it being temporary and we are not meant to understand things in such a deep level because it makes it more harsh

I had mushroom experience with a couple of friends, it was going well until one of my friends started freaking out. He would repeat his phone number rapidly, and saying that he had to go home. He kept trying to leave but we had to convince him to stay and even had to use some physical force to constrain him and calm him down (no violence was used). We finally got him to calm down and had him lay down while we put the tv on for him. He stayed quiet for a while, but then after about 15 min he suddenly yelled "wow!" With a hysterical laugh, as if he just had a revelation, but a very disappointing or unexpected one. He said again "Wow! Really?! That's all there is?".He laughed and we asked what he was talking about. He responded "that's all there is, we just die, and we start all over again! There's no point! We just die and we start all over again!". He repeated this for about ten min. Imagine how horrifying this is while tripping! He has no memory of this night or of saying this.
+Jorge Heredia I can relate to your friend, the same thing happened to me. It made me doubt life pretty hard, until I saw this video and understood the meaning of that trip.
Show this to him. Please, just show this to him
Jorge Heredia I had a similar experience when I tripped out before. I realized this is all just a fucked up loop, and to this day I'm still messed up from it
I can't seem to be able to send you a direct message. If you manage to, I'll be happy to try and help you out :) or just talk about it for a bit
FlyTkSociety What do you mean messed up? Is it the truth or just a bad trip?
@Christopher Cruz not for sure he is probably just supressing his memory because he wasn't ready to get the Cheat codes

Psychedelics make you question everything
Spiritual Homo Sapien
=D
That’s why the government made them ilegal
Yes, and I wish I didn't know the truth, even though life wasn't better before I knew that. Just knowing this is an illusion and nor friends or family know this.. I've been scared ever since.
@@beshugo8177 I have been there, but it is best to be critical of the ideas you gain from psychedelics. I worked through it for a couple years, but I personally no longer believe the world itself is an illusion. I now see that psychedelics provide both insight and delusion.
Spiritual Homo Sapien depression also makes you question everything
In a dream you can't control your reality but once you become lucid you can, so if I were to put a bunch of people in a dream world and I was the only lucid one , I would be a god
thats good one :D i quote similar thing:

@Dwight can you prove thats just within the brain? Any evidence? Im sceptic towards that idea
and you are a god

You'ld like the RUclips channel TierZoo, it's about wild animals (including humans) as if everything was a game.
Insider tip: you dont need any exp for levels. Just time.
Exp helps for fun and items/guilds tho.

level 50 sucks, but weed helps
@@melvin6228 His comment is based of r/Outside and so is TierZoo
Someone should make a game about this. Everytime you loose your life, you start up as a new character, location, parents, etc. The catch this time is that you are aware of yourself playing. "Life" coming soon on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
+Michael Espeland New Game+
+Michael Espeland I thought it would be a good book idea

+Michael Espeland There's already a game about this and you're playing it right now...
MegaSoftCore I see what you did there. From where? Who's controlling me?
Great video, in enlightened states what I learned was that life is just one giant loop, no start no end, and part of the game of life is that we are constantly pretending we are not enlightened when in fact at the core we are
I think you just aren't supposed to know you're in the game while you're in the game, but you did choose to come into the game to learn a lesson / level up. I believe once you die you'll remember what real actually is, like you rarely know you're dreaming until you wake up. This life is similar to that. When you die, you'll wake up, and realize that THIS was the subjective, and just like a dream only felt real. Like it says in quantum mechanics that reality is basically a wave of potentials, and nothing truly exists in one place until you introduce an observer. Side note: A friend of mine has a son that's in the second or third grade and one day he wrote "it's ok mommy it's all just a dream" and gave it to his mom. It weirded her out, but I think that's pretty awesome. Oh, I also think we're all here at different levels. There is no level that's higher or better than any other level though, just all here for different reasons. I know I said, "level up" but there's not people that are "better" in any way if that makes sense. Anyways that's my two cents. Cool channel!
Shaman Oaks
Ayyyyyy!!!!! It's you!!!!!!
I have had the no-ego/awakening/enlightenment experience twice. And after that nothing has been the same. I just remember that as "the real real" and even if I am not in that state of consciousness right now, I have the beliefe that life is just a dream, and I hope that when I die I will wake up.
my theory does not connect with yours
this channel is similar to my theory but has logical information based on the basic life theory of Science
and i do not agree with somethings because of my theory

Kinda sounds like a verse from "Gangsters Paradise" Been spending most my life livin in a stoners paradise.
Worst game ever. Shitty story, gameplay and ingame physics. Good graphics though.
DLC is absolutely ridiculous too. Too expensive.
Yes! and you even gotta pay to continue playing.. Humans don't realize this is paradise, but we've turned into hell (maybe if everyone realizes paradise doesn't come after death, this would be a nice game for everyone to play.)

+Michael under which extreme conditions?

a year ago i wouldn't have understood what you were saying. but I've been enlightened. I woke up. watched koifresco, you, and infinite waters mostly and read a lot. we are infinite beings having a human experience, we are the universe and the universe is us. i am you and you are me. i understand that level of conciousness now. Thanks for explaining things clearly and easily! You're amazing :)

@@cognitivepanda158 you are? Congratulations.
I don't know what happened to me, but I cannot stop watching to your videos. Everything you talk about resonates with such clarity, simplicity and truth.
You appear like a digital shaman of some sort. Thanks.
This is something that I have been struggling with for years now. You've offered me insight but I still am scared.
Of course you are, such as he most likely is, such as i am. For we do not for sure know, but we for sure know that from nothing came something. Which means that, theoretically we do know for sure, even though we dont. But this thought that we do not know for sure and are afraid, is something that is about our physical being. Or spiritual being understands the truth. We are all one. Life in peace, life in acceptance, and play the game fair and with love to all existance, and find peace in that, and your fear, might not disappear, because there cannot be good without bad, but you can minimalize the amount of bad in your life and that of others.

I like how you've tied this to Alan Watts' philosophies, however I don't believe you've understood it completely; specifically in how you define "I". The way you explained it makes it sound like you believe in a 'soul' or the 'real you' or your 'spirit'/mind carries on, however Alan Watts said:
*"Underneath the superficial self, which pays attention to this and that, there is another self more really us than I. And the more you become aware of the unknown self - if you become aware of it - the more you realize that it is inseparably connected with everything else that is. You are a function of this total galaxy, bounded by the Milky Way, and this galaxy is a function of all other galaxies" - Alan Watts*
*"What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself" - Alan Watts*
To put it simply, what carries on, is the universe, of which you are a part of. Imagine yourself as a wave on the ocean (the ocean being the universe); you are made of the universe and the atoms in your body are being replaced all the time as your wave moves. However your wave will eventually subside and you will die, but the ocean will keep on waving.
*“You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.” - Alan Watts*
is there a RUclips link where I can listen to it?
Adam explained it fine. Him and Alan differ in terms of the scope of their explanation. Adam narrated from the perspective of a single person and the viewpoint from it. Alan does it from outside that viewpoint and from the whole. They both serve the same purpose. It looks different if your seeking a specific answer 😉 The same goes for everything else in existence
The Business Cat you made this more complex then it really is
One of my all time favorite quotes of his sums this up quite nicely:
"The Ocean waves, and the Universe peoples." -- Alan Watts
Yes but dont forget that a wave on the ocean being “the same wave” is an illusion. A wave that moves say 10 meters is actually water in one section rising then the water beside it rising, then the water beside that rising. At no point is it the same water molecules moving sideways. It appears to us that a wave is a constant of “the same water” and then it moves sideways and crashed. Same with a whirl pool, it looks like a constant but is actually every millisecond different water. Same with a flame, every millisecond it is new hot gas giving off light, there is no constant thing called “a flame”, it would be more accurate to say “there is a flaming” because these are all processes and so are you. Every millisecond you are different. The idea that you are a constant person for 80 years and then you die makes no sense. Your organism is just a recognisable pattern like the wave/whirlpool/flame.
And then everything else you said is spot on
You're expressing a lot of things that psychedelics have made me start to feel, yet didn't know how to know.
This is the trippiest shit I've ever heard.
Holy shit I'm so high right now and this dude is making too much sense man.
Me too I’m high watching this
this is hard for me because I want to know, but the only way to find out is to die, which gets tempting just for the answer....
what if all were seeing right now is our life flashing before our eyes again and again and again from when we died years ago
+Front Rock What if.
+Front Rock dayum
+Front Rock If you talk to someone whose life has flashed before their eyes during a near death experience, then you'd probably say that is now what "this" is. Life flashing before your eyes is not this detailed or slow.
+Front Rock why not try to remember a former life? I mean if this hypothesis is true, your awareness could've have existed in some other form before this one so it's worth a try.
A great way to imagine not being is being under anethstetia. The only point where the nothing gains value or existing is whilst looking back from the other side in the recovery room. Its only a thing when contemplating the gap in time from the before to the after.
Nunya Bizness Exactly. If you have no way to compare existing and not existing, you can't tell how much time has passed. You blip back into existence because you have no frame of reference haha. Amazing to think about
isn't anesthesia basically sleep?
BluBerry537 your basically in a coma
So two weeks ago I had the best trip ever and what I think is my last trip. During this trip I learned something similar to what you say. Not to mention I sleep better, eat better and just feel amazing. I learned that we are all one conscious playing a game with itself. See this conscious has no body, or beginning or end and like you said its just blackness. So it created a game where the rule is to disprove it exists. And like you said anything goes. That includes sadness, anxiety, depression, suffering, etc.
So this is where we come into the picture. We believe that we are separate and that we are not or could not possibly be the creators. But the game was designed this way. Because only by disproving and having people prove, that they can manifest things, can this conscious be sure it exists.
I'm subscribed and I am happy to hear someone else say something similar. Peace and love to everyone.
@Winter I wrote this 3 years ago. I no longer agree with this comment at all.
@@thnknoutloud what do you think now
@@epa6103 If you read the comment I made a lot of assertions. Almost like I knew something. I just kinda watch nowadays. I am still heavily influenced by that trip though. Sometimes things are just so beautiful to me and I am astonished by the detail.
@@thnknoutloud thank you
this is definitely not where I parked my car
hahahaha
I remember when i was a child i had a feeling of knowing of something before this world, easy explained. But the knowing slowly disappear. It was a strong feeling and a "knowing". I dont have the knowing anymore but i remember the feeling very well.
Who was it. Stephen harrod buhner i am pretty sure. Talked about the same thing. He remembered something about before being born. And it fading away. So he wrote down that he remembered something just to remember at least that he remembered something.
Also this youtube video of a recording of a 2 and a 4 year old silbling, the older one asking the younger if he remembers"it" and to tell him stuff about it, because he is forgetting it
I can't even try to describe how awesome you are for describing this in such and accurate way.
You just made into clear words what was the absolute worst ever experience in my life. (A.k.a. an heavy mushroom bad trip)
I couldn't remember clearly how my trip was, all I knew was that it was absolute hell. And the fear and discomfort has been haunting me to this day.
And it's been this way for almost 2 years.
But now I understand that it was EXACTLY (and I do mean, EXACTLY.) about what you just explained in this video, just in a much more gloomy and dark way, in a paranoic and depressive background.
That trip caused me the so called "drugs induced psychosis" that I heard you talk about.
Keep in my mind it has made my life hell for 2 years.
And now it's completely gone.
Thank you man.
Thank you
are you okay now? ^_^
+Josh Mugen pretty much, yeah!
I still don't like thinking about death, but now it's not an invasive thought anymore :)
Hey man, sorry, but life is not a game, it is a movie. It is a movie because free will and control are illusions, you don't control your body - your mind does. And you don't control your mind - your environment does. The truth is, you are still nothing. What is that something you think you are? You are no thing, because you experience everything. I would love to use more details to illustrate that, so if anyone is interested just reply to this comment.
do we not have to be "something", to experience everything?
+dab No. We can experience everything because we are nothing. What does the experience cannot be experienced. Everything comes from nothing. We are like the emptiness that gives the universe a place to exist, the darkness that gives light a place to shine, etc.
+Juca Augusto so does that mean that this " everything " is actually " nothing "? Sorry I'm new to this!
+dab in a way yeah. In case you don't know over 99,999% of the universe is nothing. Everything is just a spec of dust in an infinite field.
+Juca Augusto Thankyou. Appreciate the new knowledge and insight.
You just summarized all of my thoughts ive been having for over 6 years
this is a great way to explain life an death, once I started meditation an spiritual practice an along with psychedelic drug use I had realized this same thing, life is a game an it's up to us to make it a good game for our own reality until we die an ascend or whatever. life is how you make it, happiness is a choice just switch the light on. high five to you my friend!
waaw that was one of the most thought provoking things i've ever seen i literaly get a knot in my chest of excitement while opening up to this idea
Nothing will always be something. There will never be nothing, there can never be nothing. Now that existence itself has existed, it's too late. Nothingness can never ever exist.
Because even if existence stopped existing, it wouldnt be nothing because no existence is still something, which means it cant be nothing.
you could say everything is nothing
which means that the nothing in the beginning was also something.
I would call it a constant cycle of going from "nothing-something" to "something-something" back to "nothing-something" to "something-something" constantly.
Welcome to Buddhism. Wheel of Samara
Maxwell hanson I agree, nothing can never exist, but nothing is the lack of existence which just means not existing but existence can only be perceived from existence itself meaning nothing can only not exist in existence and in the bigger picture nothing might actually exist.

Separate philosophy channel is a good idea
+zanussi303 Haha. Yeah. Its the alan watts vision.
+zanussi303 no. it's clever, but a channel about *self exploration* shouldn't be already based on an imitation. i already see so many of alan watts ideas in this video alone, which is fine because it's extraordinary information (that watts of course didn't fully invent either, he had his influences as well), but i want to see adam's own spin on metaphysics.
idk if he devised the animation/hardware/processor example, but if he did THAT is the unique perspective i think this channel ought to deliver. not imitation/repetition, but personally meaningful and, hopefully, original to an extent.
anyway this is a long, critical message to a silly comment, but thought it was worth mentioning
+MisterAssassinPanda I was nodding at the fact that these are Alans interpretation of eastern philosophies .. I didn't mean ,in any way, that the whole channel should be an exploration of these ideas alone, but as a vehicle to explore mind, consciousness, philosophy.
Peace
+MisterAssassinPanda I thought so as well that the processor example was really good
+MisterAssassinPanda Hey, that's Jolee Bindo from KoToR. It's a great game, lots of philosophical stuff.

I like to think of releasing resistance over waking up, you can always keep waking up, it is all relative in this ever evolving/refreshing game with no absolute highest good. There is always more, this can feel depressing and unsatisfying in the sense of trying hard and resting or like total freedom when being more relaxed with it.
My sense of releasing resistance and experiencing myself suddenly playing the bigger game is the most loving and joyful experience that I've come to know so far and I'm recognizing it as an important guidance sense, I think it can coexist with day to day life experiences and I feel like it becomes part of all interaction in an inspirational way. The paradoxical nature of the enlightening state, backed by immense euphoria proves to me that the contrasting mind is only part of the game and that the true I is more than just the ego. Instead of conversing with the mind, I try sitting in silence for an answer, just with honest, natural intent. This is what helped me to allow previously mentioned enlightening states. Once experienced, l tried remembering the difference, but it's always a new game. It still feels familiar, yet completely, greatly new like it isn't familiar at all. As far as manifestation goes, initially emotion, goosebumps, eventually anything. True expectation or involvement with the path through the game. The path is right under your feet, it's a real-time save point, which can seem harsh at times, but it's beautiful too. I suggest chilling in the now, without paying too much attention to what's going on around you when it's not pleasing you, if it is pleasing it's like a buffer of momentum.
There's always more, you can never get it wrong and it's never done. It's the easiest thing to do, it's always perfect for you and I'm convinced life will never seize to be, I've seen things which implied more, but at my own command. My honest command, the kind of command that doesn't need you to direct anything, just allow it, you can even directly be the witness of it, the sense of having a choice will be there once you feel it, infinite intelligence is there to back you up when you choose through contrast/duality. Now you allow.
I recently had a bad trip from MDMA, it started with the come down. I had a really bad trip once on LSD, constantly switching between realities but this was different. Because everyone who took the MDMA was currently coming down me and two friends tried to get away from the bad vibes and we just talked. We were super socially aware and mentally on the same level. Basically we together came to the conclusion we were sitting infront of a movie screen, life is a simulation and other persons are planted by those runnung the simulation, manipulating and distracting us from the knowledge that everything is just a simulation. I managed to drag myself out of that hole by valuing my current life and I came to the conclusion that yes, I am living a good life. Interesting that you found the same approach! Needless to say the expierence ripped me out of my daily life and it took me a whole week to get back to normal. Scary stuff, I totally get you.
Penguinsilver so do you believe in the simulation theory?
You can think of your theory in a different way, DMT is a natural chemical substance produced by our brains, small amounts of DMT are what make you dream and it is said that when a persons physical time on this earth ends and we 'die' a large dose of dmt is released into the brain, due to DMT being a recreational substance we can make some links between a DMT trip and death, mostly the fact that having a true DMT experience requires you to go through the tunnel of light, DMT users report their 15 minute trip in our time lasting an inconceivable amount of time, so maby those last few minutes as our brain functions shut off could last 1000 years, free from our perception of time on this earth you could say that life goes on, but I'm not convinced that we 'come back' as you put it though I understand the thoughts behind your conclusion. And i cant definitely say no matter what your beliefs, we all play this game, and there must be some reason nobody knows the real truth, or at least can prove it. (just microdosed and watched too many videos about life and spirituality) play the game your way :)
the only thing you can do, is play the hell out of the game. Like you would do on a real videogame, somehow you get to the end of the story, and thats a good feeling like a pleasure, but then we feel empty because its nothing else to play any more, all we can do is pres reset and start from scratch, but its not as good as the first true expirience. Like smoking any drug for the first time. We know why weed starts making less effect, or why we become addicted to tobacco, we want to reexperience the first experience all the time. The only way to do that is somiking weed taking 6 month or 1 year being sober. im just eating rice in boxers in front of my computer. bye
Matthew Heal I sorta stopped reading your comment after the first line because it hasnt been proven that our bodies produce dmt
yes it has
our bodies contain it, but it has yet to be proved that it is in any way present in our brains. it is not known to cause dreams either.
Dmt is not proven to be produced in our brains. Stop

if you see your life as a on off switch like you said its still smarter to go on because you will never be at the point you are in this moment again and isnt just experiencing another moment worth experiencing why not at least make use of the happiness that is still left inside you (through happiness hormones)
That leads in most cases that you see the good side of living angain and start wanting to go on again!
you will still want to make progress if even more when you know its a game, because you normally play a game to have fun, so just make everything that its more and more fun.
its easier without ego, because you can see things from a more logical and less personal view and this way you can get over problem because it just doesnt feel out of reach anymore but instead something like a lot of questing (like in rpg games for new items, but instead you can climb the ladder in anthing you are interested in!)
You have taken the words right out of my mouth, couldn't have said it any better.
+Philosophiefraktal Bontii But that is the problem, we humans are very egotistic beings. Life can be rough, people already commit suicide without knowing the definite outcome of death. If you are playing a very shitty game and see no light at the end of the tunnel, it is a better option to play another. You may see optimism and positivity in knowing that you are stuck in an absurd cycle of life and reincarnation, but perhaps that is because we have been more fortunate than others. Envision this, playing a game with only one life and no definite existence afterwards, you only get one shot at this game. Wouldn't you put in more effort and fight harder knowing that you only get one shot so it is better to make the most of it? Don't you think that people will fight harder in games if they had no reset button? fear and anticipation for what happens next is spoiled if there is no mystery. Fear keeps us alive.
Rs2Hackzltd .Asooma97 Still why should living be not as good as being dead, because there are hormones.
If you listen to your ego you may suicide, i was at that point in my life once too, but then with my ego death it just didnt make any sense anymore, so it propably was my ego that was telling me bullshit and that was also the reason why i was far to scared to do things that could brake the depression...
The ego wanted me to stay but i wanted to leave.
I left fear behind without any problems, i just had to face reality.
Hi Adam.
This is going to be pretty long, probably the longest comment I ever posted on youtube, but I feel the need to communicate this things to you, mainly because your way of thinking is very similar to mine and there are not many people that I know directly with whom I could possibly talk about this.
First of all: I subscribed to your channel straight after I heard you talking about "the wall" in your video "How to DMT". The reason is that I love quantum mechanic and physics and when you talk about the wall you are actually saying things as correct as they can possibly be at this stage of human knowledge. So I thought: This guy is not just someone that talks about drugs, he actually knows shit pretty damn well.
I have embarked on a journey to understand how the universe and everything works since very young age, and it has been a long time now that I have this very strong feeling that we will never brake through the big problems of cosmology and quantum mechanic without rethinking about our own consciousness as a key player in the "equation of everything".
As a main example of this state of things I like always to remember the "Two Slit Experiment" and the collapsing of the weave function when the detectors are turned on.
I am a firm believer that consciousness as to be treated as something "in within the game", not as something unchanging and absolute from which we get all of our conclusion from. One way I found to describe this is as best as I can is:
"We exist in every point, in every state, and in every moment of the "continuum space-time" and at any given time in what we call the real life, we create through consciousnesses a version of the universe as quantum observers. Consciousness is the pick of the quantum weave of our life."
I have other great ideas that support this hypothesis, but to write them all down would make this comment even longer. What I want to ask you is:
When you say that everything exist because of the opposite to compare it with (light-darkness, something-nothing and so on) you are absolutely right but then, when we die and "one face of the coin gets scraped of" how can the other side possibly keep existing without the other to be compered to? If it this the case, I personally think that consciousness as "awareness" will die with our physical form only and just because they are so connected that they can not be by themselves. I could say that physical form and consciousnesses are in a state of Quantum entanglement.
I would like to say a lot more... I have so many ides in my mind about this matter and I am so happy that there are explores out there that are going all out regardless the judgment of other people. You have all my support.
I would like to end with a citation of Dante Alighieri:
"Consider well the seed that gave you birth: you were not made to live your lives as brutes, but to be followers of virtue and knowledge."
Canto XXVI - Ulysses -Divina Commedia
I apologize for any grammar mistake, English is not my first language.
" I personally think that consciousness as "awareness" will die with our physical form only and just because they are so connected that they can not be by themselves." this is interesting - imagine if both were true: what would the implications be if we established that people who are more connected to their material body in some way stayed connected to it in death. and if those who were loosely attached to their material body were able to separate from it
You did amazing for English not being your first language:) no need for an apology!
Chris Langan, the guy with the highest tested IQ on the planet, who you're familiar with if you've read the book Outliers, has been working on a model of the universe that implements consciousness as a central component. It's called the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe if you're interested. His website has a full paper that he's written on the subject, though it's seemingly just a couple dozen pages of word salad, meaning it's incredibly dense and confusing. Has a man with no academic scientific training formulated a model that single-handedly explains the nature of the universe as an independent closed-loop system? Probably not, but the general concept of accounting for the seeming significance of subjective consciousness is a concept I can definitely get behind. Unfortunately, his work has just been been ridiculed by the scientific community for the most part, which is understandable, but it does make it difficult for someone like myself who does not have a solid enough grasp of physics to determine whether Langan's paper is complete gibberish or only partial gibberish.
My names jeff
Almas Nas so you are saying that your soul will be brought back to your own dead body? what about cremated bodies?
I don't think you would have any memories of being nothing going back into this game again, because memories are only ideas, and ideas can't exist without a brain, and they die with the brain. No one has any ideas coming back into the game. A blank slate. That's the whole point to the game of existence I think. To have an experience and eventually have it end and somewhere else there's a new brain that will form a new personality that will have a completely new life with all different experiences. I like to think there's only one mind in the universe, which is the universe itself, but it can't experience itself (like memories, an experience is an idea) just as fire can't burn itself, and that's why we exist. As a window and vehicle to give the universe consciousness. The ability to move and our senses being fixed in our bodies gives us the illusion of being separate individuals, in some lives you wake up and realize the game, in some lives you remain immersed in it. They're all the real you, every form of animal life in the universe is you having every possible experience. Just like these bodies, perhaps after the real you (the universe) ends, a new universe (a new you) will burst into being and new life-growing planets will form and the cycle goes over and over again, playing new games. What's to stop you from killing yourself if you realize it's pointless? Maybe realizing the nature of the game…Whatever life you're living right now if you don't enjoy it, want to start a new game, realize (and I think you have talked about this too) that this is what you, the real you, wanted. Indeed you did ask to be born, you just don't remember it! There will be plenty of time to live a new life later. For now, experience this.
☯️🕉💟
Dr. Watts originally opened me up to this idea, and I think it's really cool to hear you talking about it.
you got it bro..
I've had really bad anxiety about death and have struggled with coming to terms with the concept ever since I was about 4 or 5. I would ask my parents about it when the tears and heartache were too much to take, and they would always just tell me the same religious christian stuff most people around me heard. I would never be satisfied with leaving so much faith in such a massive prospect as only having one life and an eternity of nothing. Fast forward to about 3 years ago, I turn 19 and have a little 'acidic' fun with a few friends and chased the idea as best I could while out of it. I came up with a rough idea of a very similar game concept, but never thought so far as to consider the 'rule' on not being able to know for sure.
A lot of pieces fit together in my head as I analyze the world as a game. And I was just able to tie a few more together with this video. Not sure if anyone's gonna read my personal mess, but it's been great to vent and now I have some fresh ideas to chew on for a while. Thank you
I am in tears right now you are descriping my whole life as i am now high. The game is a never ending loop and the rule is you are not allowed to let others know you know the truth you just understand when you look at someone that they know the truth
I have imagined dying deeply and the destruction of time(as in the fact you exist and stop existing blurs the line between before and after you die) is the scariest part. It's experience itself during for your last moment gets sucked into a black hole.
Why does so many people find it so hard to fathom the idea that consciousness may be the underlying construct of reality? It makes so much sense!
Cheers! :)
I don`t get it. Can you explain?
Yeah deeper explanation plss
I passed ego death so im here in my room like finished all the tripps knowing i need to get everything back together so i can be sober, my 600 ug lsd trip let me experience the smallest thing ever and tge loudest and biggest thing ever, the end of infinity
We were born infinite times in infinite characters through infinite time sets... That's why it's a game... The purpose is to enjoy the much you can from each character... We'll never be able to understand how this world works because all the answers are in the word "infinite" and we'll never understand "infinite". So stop thinking and start enjoying the game. 🙌🏻😏
Adam, I love what you had to say. I feel you're spot on.
About a year ago, I was having panic attacks about this reality, and what it all is. I'm one of those people that are stuck in their heads most of the day. It gets very overwhelming and scary as fuck somedays.
So I was at a very overwhelming point and the voice in my head says, "it doesn't matter what the playing field is made of. None of you will ever know. The only thing that matters is how you treat yourself, the people around you, and your environment including animals, insects, plants, etc."
I've had to remind myself that a few times. And it helps to know that.
I really wonder where that inner voice comes from. I've gotten answers I've never thought up. I really truly believe there are things, past family/friends, that speak to us, but it comes through as our inner voice.
I'm very happy you made both of these channels. You do help people and I've gotten quite a few things out of what you say.
Keep up the good work bro. :)
I think it's less of a not knowing we are playing a game and more of a forgetting we are playing. Waking up is us remembering. Which ironically has the potential to make the game that much better.
beautiful kind of content, bro! just subscribed!
I resonate with this on a level I have never felt. It’s as if Adam and I are literally on the same energy. We need as many people as possible in this energy band
I'm italian, so I didn't understand all your words. But, please anyone answer me, what if, like some kind of animals, extinguish? (I don't know what's the word for "estinguere" in english so I used google translate) Are we going to continue to be nothing? Forever?

I don't think life is bound to species
I was just thinking "hmm this sounds a lot like Alan Watts style" then your caption came up lol. Alan Watts' lectures are so great for aiding in the integration of a heavy experience!
I thought I would end this video being depressed, but I'm happier than before.
I think I have a very interesting theory to talk about that's been on my mind for a while!
Okay so this is salvia related and there have been many accounts where people who have tried salvia where they will experience 'the wheel' of life. They will see many people's lives spinning around and they will temporarily go into the lives of these other people and for a brief moment will experience the consciousness of that life. One moment they will be an angry father shouting at his children cowering in the corner, another moment an sick old woman laying in bed dying, and another maybe a baby playing with its toys etc.
This is a common thing people who take salvia have experienced that I have read about. And some people would say how it felt like they were trying to get back into their original life that they had before doing the salvia, but the trouble is being in that state they don't remember it! It's a struggle to try and figure out which was the 'right' one and not come back as someone else! The theory is instead of coming back as themselves as they knew before the salvia trip, is that they come back as someone else! And they would never know because they would automatically have all the memories and life of the new person that they have become and will not know any better! So you would never know that it happened if it had happened! And it can only happen where you switch around with someone else who also just done salvia at the same time as you.
Is this really possible? What are you thoughts on this? I wonder about it all the time whether it is really possible to switch bodies with someone else in a more permanent and long term way? Since you can temporarily for just brief moments experience the lives of many other people outside of you when you are in that state.
my favorite movie is Matrix
and fav book is "the power of now" by eckhart toll
+pianosenzanima I dont have an absolute favorite but I'd put BOTH of them under my top favorites.
smh drug addict. Bet your parents dont know you are high in their home.
my brain just melted
10:52
this part made me so happy, to know that someone else had the same thought gives me a piece of mind and reassurance.
thank you adam, honestly.
Woahhh.... im really high but im sober enough to have this spiritually BLOW my mind! I already had this idea but thank you for finally verbally explaining it❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🕉 namaste!!!!
This video gave me schizophrenia
same
LMAOOOOOOO
What if a schizophrenic episode is a glimpse into the real world..?
@@michaelespeland it's not trust me I'm schizoaffective. I know the difference between psychotic episodes, subjective reality and the reality that actually be.
you could just re-brand this as a life hack yo
man...could you transcript your videos (from both channels) so the community can translate them?
I can translate it to brazilian portuguese.
+Gabriel Prearo Great Idea! Im in for Romania!
+Gabriel Prearo I'd like to help with this too. Macedonian
+Gabriel Prearo +++ I can translate it to russian, as well as your other videos, if you don't mind.
+Vincent Belorgey I can translate into Spanish
+fuchyerr I can translate into french
I cannot transcribe my feeling for this video, this is the only video that has ever made me cry with a bowl of apple pie. Augmented in fear behind the reality of truly believe in what come next with a bowl of my grandma's apple crisp
This opens up a lot of questions like: "How can you know you're playing?" I mean, if you're able to make this video without vanishing at the mere idea of being in a game. If you disapear, the idea would be confirmed. You were playing, and since you noticed you lost. If you don't, what does that tell you? That the game itself is not self aware or it won't tell you the answer so you trully never know you're playing.
I don't know, it's 9:22 am here and you make my brain ask a lot of questions really early.
thanks haha
Those are the rules of the game, you forget you play, and no one can cheat, as in supernatural powers n stuff.
I was so sure of simulation theory on shrooms. Like I was in the matrix. It's just a silly thought experiment to most philosophers and normal people hah. But to the psychnonaut it's TOO real. It's frightening as hell. It's exciting. It's wonderous and mind blowing. I wish we could study the psychedelic realm through a "proper" method of inquiry. Or is that why they're so amazing? because we can't?
"...or so we think." lol
lolz
But Adam, how do I grind my wood cutting to lvl. 99 if my player character didn't get the "lumberjack career" dlc?
Why do you wanna cut wood so well???
I'm so glad there's a community I can go to where I don't feel insane lol
adam, you're fucking amazing, when you said "because before i was me/adam i was nothing"
my mind expanded
That he is.. That he is..
Don't watch this video on shrooms bad mistake
Why would you go on a computer on shrooms?
This same philosophy is why I believe in reincarnation
You go girl! 👍🏼
Hes not a girl. I think one should be able to tell
Totally agree with you! I've been thinking about it for a long time. I would add that another way to see this, is that there is a potential for consciousness everywhere. Like a fundamental physical field. When matter is organised complex enough, this potential materialize into consciousness. So you are already playing every other lives at the same time without knowing it.
The BEST video i ever seen! More people should learn this perspective! hope you guys have a good day!
"You have to experience light to see darkness" then wtf do blind people see?😂
Brennan Vickery Nothing at all. Other animals such as some shrimp can see UV light while we can't. No human can see UV light, we don't see the lack of the UV light, there's just no way to process that information because you lack the tool necessary. If you never experience a sense you can't imagine it at all.
+Nathan Olds great response:)
Nathan Olds depends on how blind you are
Nothing. They dont see. That's the entire point. Sight to them is like the 4th dimension.
😂😂😂👌👌👌❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯
You've gone deep on psychedelics, I can tell. They always teach the same lessons no matter who you are going in there. You can find out more about the true nature of reality by spending a few hours alone in your room on a psychedelic than from a lifetime studying physics.
There's actually proof this is true. It's been proved that our DNA carries memories from the blood of past relatives, which you subconsciously carry all along your life and that's why during you childhood you prefer certain "heroes", fairytails, toys and jobs. For example if you have a talent you can't explain, that had just been with you since ever, it might be because one of your ancestors had been good at it too, and you have similar memories from his\her experience, you easly recognize the function of certain objects while you are still just a child because your blood has past memories\experiences with those objects.
+Kelletho
Have you been playing Assassin's Creed a lot?
just check this article... the memories do not apear in clear form such as assassin creed, they apear in symbols, colours patterns you might recognize, just like when you recover from amnesia, small details. Each of them a piece of the puzzle. reset.me/story/science-proving-memories-passed-ancestors/
homoerectus had large cerebral cortex’s and they could inherit memories like you were talking about
I think it’s just the same interests and talents.
I respect you humble intro! Not to assume you know ALL! I respect that. That’s intro alone made me continue to watch!
You should watch a few videos on YT from Actualized.org.
Man this got me crying walking on the street. Thank you. Truly beautiful words.
This video went over my head but some things did stand out very well. If life is only a game where we don't know we're playing it, then the rules we follow are unknown to us (the players) and the point of the game is also unknown to us, the players.
Huh. I have a lot of anxieties about death. My first bad trip was very much an ego death focused on this concept. I came out feeling less anxious about it, but it was more of a resignation type of thing. Your video really helped me process it beyond just acceptance, and propose it in a way that could fit into human logic. Thanks.
I had heard from somewhere( not sure if reputable or not) that our imagination was designed to make our bodies believe it is no different from reality. That would have been because in our primitive ages, our ability to imagine scenarios before they happened and experience them as if it happened for real must have saved lives. When he discuses the differentiation between reality of the world and the unreal imagination is where this comes up
As Alan Watts would say "there's a jazz going on"
also the game includes good winning all the time but never is the winner. And bad or dark always loosing but never is the looser. It's a game that will keep everyone preoccupied and keep them playing.
I remember when I was 5 years old I had my first nightmare about death because I watched iron giant.
and at my birthday when I had my first bite of tuxedo cake I said "I've been waiting my whole life for this cake!"
my grandma laughed so much she still reminds me of it every year.
So in my past life or the memory wipe before.
I found out pretty quick they must have feared death as much as I do and loved eating tuxedo cake :)
This is literally the most interesting channel on RUclips
Love this channel (and PsychedSubstance). I don't think once one knows it's a game they will try to end it, because anyone who knows it's a game, knows that the object of the game is to learn, grow and teach. Ending ones life prematurely just means they will need to come back again to learn that, and next time their circumstances may be even worse.
"The illusion of progress is exciting; it keeps things interesting." Holy fuck
This video changed my perception of reality. Thank you
This just made me realise that the game could just be about having as much fun as you can before it ends? 🤷🏼♂️
