Yes, he would be filling peoples minds with unfounded deepities, and mindless floating abstractions that damaged our actual consciousness with a fowled Metaphysics and corrupt Epistemology. He would be just like AOC.
"We are just the universe trying to understand itself" you had me once you said this. All matter is energy, and energy cannot be destroyed, it can only transform.
To think, for 13.5 billion years, you were something else. Maybe (likely) LOTS of something elses. And soon you will be something else again, and the energy that makes up you, will likely never make up you again. Make it count 😉
@@ModernGentleman that sounds fun and all , but it's the definition of misunderstanding the idea of you eternally being here , rethink it , consciousness is infinite and rises as there is a finite mind
@@ModernGentleman thats how i think. When we die we get aten by animals, ehich in return our matter gets turned into protein then into sperm, which creates a new being
@@trollrat2828 any sort of crisis is an opportunity for growth. You’ll get through it as long as you confront it & never try to escape the thoughts in your head. Trust me. & if you need something to kickstart that journey, I suggest to look into the practice of mindful meditation. P.S never fall into pessimistic nihilism. EVER. Other than that stay curious in the journey of knowledge

This is the SECRET of all SECRETS, isn't it? *** Consciousness has the property of creating reality. You can influence the creation process. Any method of influence is just a way of influencing the process, the process itself cannot be changed.

Yesterday I was on shrooms and my friend put this on. Bro years started falling down my face. It’s like my mind crashed. I couldn’t believe what I was processing. It was a real ego death. Now I just see that we are a big paradox. And to just love each other. It was like an awakening. This page has legit changed my life last night. I spent hours watching the videos. I feel awoke. And I’m serious.
@@N4jss Do you mean sonder? I always thought I had that awareness, but I only truly had it after my first good trip. "the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own-populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness-an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk."
"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one conciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves... Now here's Tom with the weather"

Well some people just have a different view of things, so what else they can do about someone's perspective? Scrap it then, throw it. That's how an individual reacts with other individual if they find their views conflicts with each other.. so yeah no point asking this.
@@lupinusaria2316 By your logic, there was no point in your reply, either. Is the disagreement pointless and the reply was a waste of time, or is there value in disagreement and coming to a common understanding in things?

I rewatch this video a lot. it’s so soothing and it reminds me that “i” am the universe experiencing itself in a human form. it makes me wanna be an even better person. thank you
Watching this during an existential crisis puts you in this state of not knowing what to do but feeling at ease even while being anxious and idk if I love it or hate it

I can see how “comfort” can come when a video tells you that “nothing in life really matters”. So whatever you choose to do doesn’t matter. Which is false. Life DOES matter. And what you do or do not do matters. Saying that nothing matters is avoiding responsibility. Even though at the end they say enjoy the ride, how can you enjoy it if nothing matters? If it doesn’t matter it has no value, no meaning, no purpose. “Nothing in life really matters” is a false statement and only brings false security and comfort.
I never knew what I experienced was ego death. I had never been so content. My emotions and thoughts washed over me and I never stopped them. I just accepted them and understood I am not me, I am you, you are all of us. All of us is one. I will never see the future, we will. If nothing has meaning everything has meaning.
I tried LSD once, during which I had a conversation with the universe. The experience was profound in a way that words simply cannot describe, but it was a conversation that took place without language. It was more of a free exchange of information, perhaps like what might take place between two networked devices, and the overall message was brilliantly clear. I came away from the experience with an understanding that I, regardless of my comprehension, as well as everyone and everything else, AM/ARE the universe. That's a big thing to wrap my head around, but I was shown vast pitch black voids and ephemeral clouds of star nurseries, galaxies, solar systems, planets and everything down to the dust floating across the room, and it was all a single organism. For a time, I didn't exist (not as you or I would be able to define), it was my essence, or some fundamental aspect of my being that was gently held and shown what's behind the curtain. What I took away from the experience has been mostly lost to time and stubbornly repeating stupid patterns of behavior for the sake of my own gratification, but I've yet to ever completely discard the feeling that whatever may happen, ultimately it doesn't matter, and eventually everything will be okay, or at least not worth stressing over. The bliss that some people claim to find in their religion, the perfect and innocent joy of youth, the absolute and unconditional love that a parent feels (normally anyway) for their newborn baby, this was like what I found the universe to have for itself and all of its aspects. It was an intense and unquestionable love, but it was also simultaneously a perfect oblivion of apathy. It was something akin to how christians like to describe their god as a being of love, and yet for all of its depth of care, won't so much as lift a finger to help anyone or anything. Everything's great, and it doesn't matter in the slightest one way or the other. We're here to forge our own purpose, discover meaning for our experiences within ourselves, help one another when it suits us, or have as much fun as possible being as absolutely evil as we can manage. The path doesn't matter, neither does the destination, I suppose the only thing that matters is that you enjoy yourself along the way.
"We are One." has more meaning and implications than one would initially be led to believe. I think I had a somewhat similar experience with acid in which I felt deeply connected to everything and that we are all just part of and are ones with the Universe - which probably is much much bigger in size and in other dimensions of existence than science has discovered so far (which may encompass other possibly infinite Universes and even higher spiritual dimensions that could be related to the extra dimensions about which physicists have been theorizing). I felt deep empathy and profound love for this infinitely complex character and its history, this character being the Universe itself, the Existence, God. We are just tiny humble parts of Him and His conscience. This trip and those kinds of realizations changed my life and understanding of Reality in ways that can't be completely explained by words. Life is great and the Existence of everything, of every great, great Being, of every sentient being and of every being is awesome and we should really be profoundly grateful for it!

This is possibly one of the best factual youtube videos i have watched in a very long time. I recently obtained a diploma in psychology and i have to admit, it has changed my outlook on life. I became interested in psychology mainly through lucid dreaming, which is something i can now do quite regularly, when i put my mind to it. The consciousness is a strange beast, but the subconscious is even more incredible and and bizarre. I used to do a lot of LSD in the 90s, but i never had a true ego death until around 1997, which was m first time taking henbane. I had far too much, and i spent god knows how long just being a spectator, not judging anything, it was like the perfect meditation by the end of it. It could have been a bad trip had i not been familiar with hallucinogenics previously, but as reality slipped away, another reality presented itself and i have never attained that alternate reality again. I found myself saying "yes!" so many times watching this video, that quote from Alan Watts is one of my favourites, and also that line "energy never dies..." i have used that since the 1990s as well. If anyone is hungry for more, i highly suggest Alan Watts's The Nature Of Consciousness II. Thank you for this video, it is appreciated so much! Stay safe!
The only word I could possibly think of to describe ego death is ineffable. It was terrifying but also the most incredible experience there is. It really is like you said, like your save file in a game gets corrupted or deleted, but you're still in the game. It's experiencing death without dying.
The opening premise made me question this guy's self-awareness. No way to know if any animals are conscious or function the same way you do? It depends on what you mean in the same way and what you mean by conscious. That statement is overtly ambiguous. If by conscious you mean self-aware then yes there are many at this point. To the level of humans? Not as far as I am aware. Cat, Dogs, Dolphins, whales, many apes, some insects, many birds, The octopus, sea otter, Seal, sealion can all recognize the difference between their own reflection and video of another animal of their own species, even when they look nearly identical, under different circumstances. The octopus, sea otter, many apes, Cats, Dogs, seals, dolphins, whales, alligators, badgers, sea lions, many birds, and much more have demonstrated the ability to figure out simple puzzles given the right motivations. Badgers bury the dead, often when it is not even a dead badger. This is because they figured out not doing so means a higher number of badgers get sick. The octopus, dolphins, Sea otters, whales, Crows, Ravens, Owls are all species that have been known to make and use simple tools. On the level of sharpening a rock, stick or shell and removing inconvenient parts. So, in short very primitive. That being said that is the level many parts of humankind were at not even 5,000 years ago. That is out of 2.5 million years of human history mind you. Nearly every animal and most plants have demonstrated the ability to recognize a threat and/or predator and based on no more than 1 factor. Also to be able to differentiate such threats from non-threats with nearly identical but different factors. Such as sound, sight, color, location etc. Such associations have been found to be enforced with more than one concurrent factor. This means most animals and even some plants are capable of recognizing patterns and reacting to them accordingly. Such animals may, given proper circumstances, act to deal with the entire pattern. Just One example is an animal reserve where there was an endangered species and the crows and ravens liked the taste of the eggs. So the reserve in response took eggs that were made to taste unpleasant, and took measures to make them outwardly identical. They went as far as to mix the unpalatable eggs with the actual eggs to stop them from eating them. The result; The crows communicated with other crows who were not even the crows who encountered the eggs and any similar eggs over an area the size of the entire state of Texas, crows stopped eating the eggs. The result with the ravens was not so positive. The raven population figured out that only the eggs in the area of the animal reserve would be unpleasant for consumption. Within a month, the ravens would take the eggs only in the area of the animal reserve, and actively destroy them, to keep other ravens from eating them by mistake. An example of plants recognizing such things is that a plant whose main predator is a caterpillar; They were shown to be able to recognize the sound of caterpillars chewing on, plants even when they were not the same plants. When hearing the chewing of a caterpillar they would release a chemical that makes them unpalatable to caterpillars. They were shown to be able to differentiate between the caterpillar and similar sounds. The chemicals were not released with the sound of wind rustling hand-picked to be as similar to the chewing as possible. In fact, there were no less than 63 different similar sounds played. The only one that got a similar response was the sound of plants burning. When there was the sound of plants burning played, they released an entirely different chemical. Some whales, dolphins, apes, wild dogs and wild cats, and birds have been shown to be able to cooperate to solve problems that they can not solve on their own including but not limited to Killer whales working together to successfully hunt blue whales, who are so big they were thought to have not one predator. They do this by taking turns for upwards of 8 hours body slamming the whale so it can not surface. Seeing as whales are mammals they need air. Thus, it effectively drowns the blue whale. Crows, Ravens, And octopuses have been found to be able to figure out complex puzzles, simply by watching others. They are better at doing it than some humans. There have been a number of recorded instances, where Crows, Ravens, and Octopuses have used this skill to let themselves out of their own cages when in captivity. As a Direct result, aquariums often give Octopuses lots of toys so they don't get bored. They will often also make the mechanism for opening the enclosure overly complex or require an external complex tool to open. Mainly just so the Octopuses don't open the cage and just leave because they can survive out of water for quite a while given the correct circumstances. Their ability for this skill has led to a number of times, where an octopus has gotten bored enough, they let themselves out and tried to return to the ocean. This has happened, more than once successfully. A prime example is; "An octopus at New Zealand's National Aquarium made a break for freedom by slipping out of its tank, slithering down a drainpipe, and escaping into the ocean in 2016." This is nearly word for word of the official report's headline. The Octopus in question even waited until after dark during a shift change. It also determined which drainage pipe would lead to the ocean. That is a prison break very reminiscent of movie prison breaks. I mean, if the prisons were aquariums and the prisoner was an octopus. "Can't tell if any animals are conscious or if any animal would or could function like we do" Welp, that is solely due to how vague that sentence is. A number of animals are on the same level, some of the most primitive human civilizations from not even 5000 years ago were, at the present moment. That being said this is depending on the metric you are using to measure. Do keep in mind if you exclude all human evolutions that were more ape than man humans have had 2.5 million years of history.
I already like school, but I would like it more if he was teaching. I've thought of some of my best theories when listening to him, and he gives me inspiration. So it would definitely make school more interesting. I've actually always wanted to be either a writer, a scientist, a pianist, or a teacher. If I end up being a teacher, then I'ma teach like this. I'd also share some of his videos because come on. Look at his videos and tell me they aren't educational.
I can't tell you how grateful I am for this video. You explained a concept that is nearly impossible to put into words, and helped me finally understand what I'm going through right now. Sincerely, thank you very much.
Before you existed, nothing existed. While you exists, everything exists. When you cease to exist, well nobody knows. Consciousness is the fundamental nature of reality
I think I've experienced ego-death twice. It was a real experience and I really felt disconnected from everything around me. The first time something really really weird happened! I was just sitting there when suddenly I got a feeling as if gravity was changing direction, it's hard to describe but it actually made me flinch in the chair I was sitting in. Almost as when you're falling asleep and your brain thinks you're falling so you wake up. That took me out of the ego-death. I asked the person next to me if they had felt something but it was all fabricated in my mind. It brought me back...
the revisit of psychedelics in our society is a brilliant and underrated renaissance people often say "what a time to be alive" for variousness but truly, what a time to be alive
I felt this way after a long state of depression, it's like everything suddenly made sense and ego death suddenly wasn't such a lonely thing... I've since started a family and am stuck in the grind of working every hour I can... I forgot how in tune with the universe I used to be, I need to make more time for myself
Hang in there. Same here. There’s truth in this video, but “nothing in life really matters” is a falsehood. What you do for your family, and your family does matter.
this video was the last piece of the puzzle i needed to end my existential crisis. This is the most well spent 13 minutes i have ever spent on youtube. Thank you !
Every video, this man finds a new way to describe what I cannot. Even though he has no idea that I even exist it’s, he’s speaking directly to me, digging into my thoughts and pulling out the awareness in my mind that I am unable to convey properly. To have this level of clarity is admirable, and to be able to pull ones innermost thoughts out with just a few words is amazing in its own right. Keep doing what you do, Aperture, and I’ll keep enjoying it. Thank you.
ego death is scary, I've formed thoughts similar to this guy and experiencing ego death is one of the lonliest things to feel. It's scary and feels endless; whatever you do to find comfort normally never works. The body you were in abandons you as well and are left in a third person view of your world. People don't really talk about ego death as much but it's a real experience that can either help with growth or stagnate it.
smol bean ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN FIRST IT STEALS YOUR MIND AND THEN IT STEALS YOUR . . SOOOOOUUUUUUUUULLLLLL
Nice Choice I feel like it helps BECAUSE it’s scary. Nobody WANTS that to happen constantly unless you’re bat-shit mental, but having it happen once or a limited amount of times could really humble someone. The experience they have could be eye opening in any way, such as spiritually, mentally, or socially. I’ve never experienced it once or have done any psychedelic, but I hope to have changed those by the end of my life. I figure shit, once I die, that’s it. Lights out, no more, take it easy. So, might as well get lit while the candle still got some wick.
I've been reading in Buddhism, Zen, and Taoism that all have similar thoughts of what this video is trying to spread. I think your conclusion at the end and the whole video feels very peaceful.
Its not just them. Plato, the earliest Christians and their mystics (especially hysechasm and the views of the Quakers as well), and even in Islam with the concepts found in the teachings of Ibn 'Arabi and also Sufism, all share the same thoughts and ideas laid out here. Its like anyone who seeks what is true with a pure heart simply to know truth cannot help but come to the same conclusions, despite describing the same experiences through different cultural lenses throughout history. Col. 3:10-11 "Put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all."
one high-dose shroom trip i had, i looked in the mirror and didn't recognize myself. at first it was scary, but then i got up close to the mirror and started studying my face from the perspective of a complete stranger. after that day i felt alot less attached to my appearance, while at the same time understanding how to affect other people's perception of me. really profound experience. @aperture glad to hear you had a psychedelic experience! we NEED a trip report 😂
davood oh “drugs” is a pretty wide generalization. ofc you shouldn’t do meth or heroin, but shrooms are all-natural, non-toxic, and non-addictive. in fact, lots of medical research from the past few decades has provided evidence that shrooms (and other psychedelics) actually reverse addiction, and can help you quit cigarettes or other addictive substances. the main danger is it being laced with something else, which is basically impossible since it’s literally a mushroom.
Hi all, I just want to say I love you to all my fellow stardusts. It took us billions of years of journey to experience this planet. Our lives as humans may be difficult, but it’s still a fun ride. If you experience fear, pain, sadness, or agony right now, remember that we are the universe trying to experience and make sense of its own self. It can be chaotic often times and sometimes it’s very blissful. Remember that you were never alone even before you were born. I, you and we are one. We are the universe. You are the universe. I am the universe.
If you are hungry for more of this school of thought, it's called Zen. Check out some Alan Watts lectures.He is paraphrasing Alan Watts for most of the video.
This is essentially the Hindu philosophy of Advaita Vedānta. According to Advaita, the same Divine Consciousness manifests as both insentient and sentient beings. Since God is everywhere, we should strive to treat all sentient beings with respect and love. Additionally, it is very probable that many paths can lead us to the truth. This was the philosophy of both Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda. It also influenced Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the Architect of Modern India. Thank you for this indescribably powerful and enlightening video. Namaste and love from India! I hope that love and peace prevail in the world! 🙏🇮🇳☮️☮️
Humans are a super AI invented by mother nature and now we are slowly destroying our creator, the exact thing we are afraid of happening with computer AI today.
I really needed this. Today I had a talk with my therapist about the meaninglessness of life and my lack of purpose which has resulted in me being inert. I've basically found that "not doing anything" results in "calmness" then immediately transforms into "nothingness", basically a situation in which the problem and the solution are interchangebale and therefore, a loop is created and I get stuck in it. This video, specially when you reminded me of the fact that energy is never destroyed and that our consciousness decieves us otherwise, it actually made my heart shiver, in a very good way. It was like a rediscovered sense of "I'll not disappear" which you continued to then say that actually the "I" does disappear, but you as an entity will remain as a part of the greater mystery that we call "life". Baruch Espinosa's ideas come to mind; those that were explained in "The Story of Philosophy" by Will Durant. Thanks so much, you beautiful piece of calming Life!
Yeah the ego has to hold on- Anytime you threaten it’s existence, things get sketchy. Funny thing is, it’s just an illusion. An illusion that knows it’s an illusion.🤔
The music around 5:20 is a track I constantly listen to when I'm thinking. To hear it in one of my favourite youtuber's videos was quite jarring yet lovely. Amazing video as always, Aperture.
This gives me a whole new outlook on life. I don't WISH to die. But it makes it almost less scary, and it just makes sense. I have been watching your videos almost the entire day, and I feel I have actually learned something.
This is the most beautiful video I have ever seen. There are no words to describe the utter love and light that comes from an ego death experience, I had 2 years ago, and sincerely, the return to it without the use of any substance is just as difficult as life itself, learning to overcome ego, to live the life as the observer, as the non-doer and as the doer at the same time is not something that the mind can understand. But watching this video brought myself back to it, to the Source, to Reality, I was seeing and listening to myself at that moment, and this sense of Oneness is just the most beautiful and sublime experience any being can have. Thank you so much, from all Love.
I don’t know why, but something about this video made something click in me. For about five years, I’ve been in love with the same person. I always heard that I should move on, as life is short, and we have to continue. But something about this video made me realize that I don’t want to stop loving her, and just loving her is enough. I don’t know why this video helped me realize this, but I thank you for it.
the way i see it is when i’m sitting as a passenger in a car. i look out the window and i see other people. maybe they don’t see me but those people, everyone of them, has a life, maybe a family, a favorite movie, a favorite genre of music, or maybe a favorite sport. this is freaky to me. just a thought. 😊
Same here lol I always wonder that. Or that I look at my life likes it's important but when I think that everyone else is experiencing life and think they are the center of the human experience it blows my mind.
I think of it as a way to show how insignificant we all are. From my perspective, life is important but it feels meaningless if you compare it to the COUNTLESS numbers of other lives that have been lived and will be lived. (Kind of off topic) You really shouldn't care about being forgotten because everyone will become it someday.
I wish I had human words to fully describe how this video made me feel.. it was enlightening, terrifying but calming, hopeful yet sad, and makes me wonder what the point of having an ego even is if it just blinds us to want we really are? Our ego forces us to worry and think only of ourselves.. kinda selfish if you think about it. If losing our ego is so liberating, why have it ya know? Idk just thinking out loud.. great video!
The ego is like a curtain we have surrounded ourselves with, that blocks the light from outside, and those who are courageous and curious enough to take a peak of what is outside of the curtain realize the curtain was an illusion to begin with. The ego is like the shell around a seed, that is meant to be broken when planted in right soil, and of which the seed can never grow up into what it is supposed to be unless it breaks out of the shell that surrounds it. I said this to someone earlier on in the comments, but I think it appropriately applies here too. We have to experience what is not-us to be able to have a truly deep sense of what is us. One must be ignorant first in order to appreciate the journey to Wisdom. If you knew how the game ended with certainty, then it takes away the pursuit of the answers, of which give meaning and purpose to life. If we exist truly to experience and learn what we really are, then it makes sense that there is the ignorance at how it ends, since the anxiety caused by that ignorance becomes the motivation to seek the answers in the first place, relieving the anxiety. So then, what should we make of these things? Even anxiety works for our good, serving its function, but when the function is over, there is nothing left for it but to be eliminated.
A lot of the comments are trying to be silly but I just want to say thanks for making this video. You explained really well something that is quite difficult to grasp. Well done! I'll come back to this video time and time again.
This is the single best lesson on consciousness and awakening and ego death I have ever heard. This video is beautiful and concise and perfect. Thank you for your creation!
I actually learned an important lesson about myself watching this, I've always been afraid of asking girls out, but realized its not cause I'm shy, its cause my "ego" as you put it is so consumed with thoughts of what-ifs and fears, and if I just let that go, maybe I can eventually do it
I am the energy of existence. I am oblivion. I am light, I am dark. Their for I am and I am not. Beautiful and discussing. Thank you, and your welcome.
@Albino Cake I would call it a creator (of the system). I think God is attached at the hip to religion because of their concept of a being who not only created you (your parents come together to create you), but is also a judge of whether you enter *eternal* hell or heaven. I don't believe in an eternal afterlife, because I'm here at this specific moment and not in either hell or heaven, only aged 19 years. We are creators, and I find myself thanking whatever entity that started the system for giving us this beautiful life and ability, but not everybody comes into a life where they can see this beauty.. Imagine a child who grew up with narcissistic parents that were incapable of loving or teaching him/her. These are often the kids that grow up cold, dark, depressed and toxic. Now imagine that kid goes and causes turmoil for others or takes lives, I would say that the child's upbringing wired their brains a certain way that allowed or bred these problems..So would these children be judged eternally for these things that essentially they had no control over? Because this is where the "evil" in the world stems from. We are whatever our environment is.
These ideas are so interesting, fundamental, and pervasive. They're so fundamental that notions very similar to these can be found in texts thousands of years old, many of them written by people who may have also been influenced by psychedelics. The more esoteric sects of many religions have thinkers who have written these ideas for millennia, and here we are listening to them today in a more modern format. Even science, which is still commonly believed to be incompatible with these ideas, has given us new perspectives on them and, in a way, strengthened them. Maybe their timelessness is a testament to their accuracy. That's all for my rambling; I wish for prosperity for all fellow reality-explorers and truth seekers out there!
I used to have a ton of ego deaths as a kid. Suddenly I felt as if I was viewing my body from somewhere or someone else. I wouldn't think, except for the idea "movie" or dream. It's hard to explain. After a few seconds, I would come back to reality.
Well personally I think that we are the only people watching this are unique .........idk about you but I'm here cause I've been asking these questions myself
What taught me this? Psychedelics. As cheesy as it sounds, all the substances do is take away your sense of self, and when you do that you unify with the collective consciousness of EVERYTHING. You are this whole universe, you are everything.
You are not just someone talking about life just like many youtubers out there. Calling you someone different from the most is not enough, you are fading into someone that one should be. And I felt that the very first day I interacted with one of your videos.
Funny thing is, we can try to explain this truth. But it can’t be taught nor explained. It must be experienced. To the awakened, this video is a confirmation. To the sleeping one, this is gibberish. However, great job on this video. 🙏🏿👍🏿
this is so very true holy shit. Rn im awakening but today may have been my ego death. today is pretty different than usual. Ive been trying to teach myself to gain more willpower and today i did literaly every little thing that came to my mind. I feel a little closer to being woke than yesterday. and now i need to shit ok bye
The truth is a funny thing man, "It" indeed must be experienced to understand, but even then, I feel no closer to truly understanding it than I was before. There was only the moment of pure understanding but that leaves. I am now merely aware of its existence and do my best to integrate what my mind in its normal state can comprehend of it. But man it does feel good to be "awake". Or maybe thats just my ego lmao
Careful, it’s really easy to fall into your mind’s illusions of what “awakening” is or isn’t. You can imagine experiences you’re not even having. First and foremost, be honest to yourself
We are Sovereign Divine Beings of Light, ONE with the Universe/All That IS! We are Holographic, Multidimensional aspects of God/All That IS! Separation is an Illusion! We as Divine Beings of Light creating our reality! There is no beginning and no ending, there is just the ISNESS of Life, all happening in the Eternal NOW! We choose to forget who we are when we come into this earth reality to have the experience of duality of separateness. 🌹🙏💖
Im only now starting to comprehend the diality of consciousness. The universal application of duality that defines the relationship of everything in inner and outer space. Quantum physics i.e Super position that is being in a state relevant to observation and understanding that the opposite of that form exists simultaneously anywhere else in the universe. So whatever youre are experiencing in consciousness at a given moment is being experienced in relative context,however ,in the opposing realm of possibilities .You may opt for ego death from your perspective but that will only satiate an ego elsewhere. The ego is a constant.
There has to be consciousness after death as well, energy created is never destroyed and what would be the point of experiencing anything if nothing is ever gain but just deleted each time.
I think consciousness and the universe itself are so mend bendingly strange that some form of consciousness after death seems pretty plausible, I don’t believe in any religion but I know there’s so much about the universe we could never comprehend as humans
NinjaInPajamas yeah same I don’t believe in religion but there’s way more to life after we die it’s going back to consciousness, death is the biggest illusion.
Your presentation of ideas is absolutely fantastic as are the ideas that you present. You have clearly listened to many of the great thinkers & I hear a lot of Alan Watts in your observations. Absolutely love your outlook. From my perspective you are an enlightened individual & I can only hope that your thoughts reach more & more people.
The ad placement in all of your videos is amazing, other videos just have them cut in in the middle of a sentence or while something is happening. But yours are perfectly aligned with the end of a sentence. It makes my OCD happy. 😊
oh man this is so beautiful. we are a coalescence of pre-existing matter and we are a very small part of a much larger process. so whatever happens to us doesnt matter really, because the process will go on with or without us
I swear this man is on a different level of thinking I Think the same way but this man knows how to put words together to explain his experiences and lightness us!! Thank you brotha for all the videos!!🙌💙
I've always thought this way but had struggled to put it into words. This is a wonderful video! It's amazing to see this inner knowing of mine being understood by other people.

"the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own-populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness-an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk."

Try both. And drink red bull from time to time.
There is nothing “to do” ....
I can see how “comfort” can come when a video tells you that “nothing in life really matters”. So whatever you choose to do doesn’t matter. Which is false. Life DOES matter. And what you do or do not do matters. Saying that nothing matters is avoiding responsibility. Even though at the end they say enjoy the ride, how can you enjoy it if nothing matters? If it doesn’t matter it has no value, no meaning, no purpose.
“Nothing in life really matters” is a false statement and only brings false security and comfort.
but then again, what is it to really feel at ease, or to feel comfort
"I Am not the Body, not the Mind nor the Emotions,
I Am as I Think''.

No, not really, but the first line was true ))
I am the awareness😥

You are not your thoughts, but the observer of your thoughts.
I never knew what I experienced was ego death. I had never been so content. My emotions and thoughts washed over me and I never stopped them. I just accepted them and understood I am not me, I am you, you are all of us. All of us is one. I will never see the future, we will. If nothing has meaning everything has meaning.

I tried LSD once, during which I had a conversation with the universe. The experience was profound in a way that words simply cannot describe, but it was a conversation that took place without language. It was more of a free exchange of information, perhaps like what might take place between two networked devices, and the overall message was brilliantly clear.
I came away from the experience with an understanding that I, regardless of my comprehension, as well as everyone and everything else, AM/ARE the universe. That's a big thing to wrap my head around, but I was shown vast pitch black voids and ephemeral clouds of star nurseries, galaxies, solar systems, planets and everything down to the dust floating across the room, and it was all a single organism. For a time, I didn't exist (not as you or I would be able to define), it was my essence, or some fundamental aspect of my being that was gently held and shown what's behind the curtain.
What I took away from the experience has been mostly lost to time and stubbornly repeating stupid patterns of behavior for the sake of my own gratification, but I've yet to ever completely discard the feeling that whatever may happen, ultimately it doesn't matter, and eventually everything will be okay, or at least not worth stressing over.
The bliss that some people claim to find in their religion, the perfect and innocent joy of youth, the absolute and unconditional love that a parent feels (normally anyway) for their newborn baby, this was like what I found the universe to have for itself and all of its aspects. It was an intense and unquestionable love, but it was also simultaneously a perfect oblivion of apathy. It was something akin to how christians like to describe their god as a being of love, and yet for all of its depth of care, won't so much as lift a finger to help anyone or anything. Everything's great, and it doesn't matter in the slightest one way or the other.
We're here to forge our own purpose, discover meaning for our experiences within ourselves, help one another when it suits us, or have as much fun as possible being as absolutely evil as we can manage. The path doesn't matter, neither does the destination, I suppose the only thing that matters is that you enjoy yourself along the way.
Underrated comment. This is beautiful thank you
"We are One." has more meaning and implications than one would initially be led to believe. I think I had a somewhat similar experience with acid in which I felt deeply connected to everything and that we are all just part of and are ones with the Universe - which probably is much much bigger in size and in other dimensions of existence than science has discovered so far (which may encompass other possibly infinite Universes and even higher spiritual dimensions that could be related to the extra dimensions about which physicists have been theorizing). I felt deep empathy and profound love for this infinitely complex character and its history, this character being the Universe itself, the Existence, God. We are just tiny humble parts of Him and His conscience. This trip and those kinds of realizations changed my life and understanding of Reality in ways that can't be completely explained by words. Life is great and the Existence of everything, of every great, great Being, of every sentient being and of every being is awesome and we should really be profoundly grateful for it!
I don't believe that you true acid

This is possibly one of the best factual youtube videos i have watched in a very long time.
I recently obtained a diploma in psychology and i have to admit, it has changed my outlook on life. I became interested in psychology mainly through lucid dreaming, which is something i can now do quite regularly, when i put my mind to it. The consciousness is a strange beast, but the subconscious is even more incredible and and bizarre.
I used to do a lot of LSD in the 90s, but i never had a true ego death until around 1997, which was m first time taking henbane. I had far too much, and i spent god knows how long just being a spectator, not judging anything, it was like the perfect meditation by the end of it. It could have been a bad trip had i not been familiar with hallucinogenics previously, but as reality slipped away, another reality presented itself and i have never attained that alternate reality again.
I found myself saying "yes!" so many times watching this video, that quote from Alan Watts is one of my favourites, and also that line "energy never dies..." i have used that since the 1990s as well.
If anyone is hungry for more, i highly suggest Alan Watts's The Nature Of Consciousness II.
Thank you for this video, it is appreciated so much!

The only word I could possibly think of to describe ego death is ineffable. It was terrifying but also the most incredible experience there is. It really is like you said, like your save file in a game gets corrupted or deleted, but you're still in the game. It's experiencing death without dying.
if this guy was a teacher, I’d actually like school.
true
If this guy would be your teacher he wouldn't make RUclips vids.
A philosophy college professor his lectures will pop my superficial bubble of reality and give me depression 😂😂 still would attend class
The opening premise made me question this guy's self-awareness.
No way to know if any animals are conscious or function the same way you do?
It depends on what you mean in the same way and what you mean by conscious. That statement is overtly ambiguous.
If by conscious you mean self-aware then yes there are many at this point. To the level of humans? Not as far as I am aware.
Cat, Dogs, Dolphins, whales, many apes, some insects, many birds, The octopus, sea otter, Seal, sealion can all recognize the difference between their own reflection and video of another animal of their own species, even when they look nearly identical, under different circumstances.
The octopus, sea otter, many apes, Cats, Dogs, seals, dolphins, whales, alligators, badgers, sea lions, many birds, and much more have demonstrated the ability to figure out simple puzzles given the right motivations.
Badgers bury the dead, often when it is not even a dead badger. This is because they figured out not doing so means a higher number of badgers get sick.
The octopus, dolphins, Sea otters, whales, Crows, Ravens, Owls are all species that have been known to make and use simple tools.
On the level of sharpening a rock, stick or shell and removing inconvenient parts. So, in short very primitive.
That being said that is the level many parts of humankind were at not even 5,000 years ago.
That is out of 2.5 million years of human history mind you.
Nearly every animal and most plants have demonstrated the ability to recognize a threat and/or predator and based on no more than 1 factor.
Also to be able to differentiate such threats from non-threats with nearly identical but different factors. Such as sound, sight, color, location etc.
Such associations have been found to be enforced with more than one concurrent factor.
This means most animals and even some plants are capable of recognizing patterns and reacting to them accordingly.
Such animals may, given proper circumstances, act to deal with the entire pattern.
Just One example is an animal reserve where there was an endangered species and the crows and ravens liked the taste of the eggs.
So the reserve in response took eggs that were made to taste unpleasant, and took measures to make them outwardly identical.
They went as far as to mix the unpalatable eggs with the actual eggs to stop them from eating them.
The result;
The crows communicated with other crows who were not even the crows who encountered the eggs and any similar eggs over an area the size of the entire state of Texas, crows stopped eating the eggs.
The result with the ravens was not so positive. The raven population figured out that only the eggs in the area of the animal reserve would be unpleasant for consumption.
Within a month, the ravens would take the eggs only in the area of the animal reserve, and actively destroy them, to keep other ravens from eating them by mistake.
An example of plants recognizing such things is that a plant whose main predator is a caterpillar;
They were shown to be able to recognize the sound of caterpillars chewing on, plants even when they were not the same plants.
When hearing the chewing of a caterpillar they would release a chemical that makes them unpalatable to caterpillars.
They were shown to be able to differentiate between the caterpillar and similar sounds.
The chemicals were not released with the sound of wind rustling hand-picked to be as similar to the chewing as possible.
In fact, there were no less than 63 different similar sounds played. The only one that got a similar response was the sound of plants burning.
When there was the sound of plants burning played, they released an entirely different chemical.
Some whales, dolphins, apes, wild dogs and wild cats, and birds have been shown to be able to cooperate to solve problems that they can not solve on their own including but not limited to Killer whales working together to successfully hunt blue whales, who are so big they were thought to have not one predator.
They do this by taking turns for upwards of 8 hours body slamming the whale so it can not surface.
Seeing as whales are mammals they need air. Thus, it effectively drowns the blue whale.
Crows, Ravens, And octopuses have been found to be able to figure out complex puzzles, simply by watching others.
They are better at doing it than some humans.
There have been a number of recorded instances, where Crows, Ravens, and Octopuses have used this skill to let themselves out of their own cages when in captivity.
As a Direct result, aquariums often give Octopuses lots of toys so they don't get bored. They will often also make the mechanism for opening the enclosure overly complex or require an external complex tool to open.
Mainly just so the Octopuses don't open the cage and just leave because they can survive out of water for quite a while given the correct circumstances.
Their ability for this skill has led to a number of times, where an octopus has gotten bored enough, they let themselves out and tried to return to the ocean.
This has happened, more than once successfully.
A prime example is;
"An octopus at New Zealand's National Aquarium made a break for freedom by slipping out of its tank, slithering down a drainpipe, and escaping into the ocean in 2016."
This is nearly word for word of the official report's headline. The Octopus in question even waited until after dark during a shift change. It also determined which drainage pipe would lead to the ocean.
That is a prison break very reminiscent of movie prison breaks. I mean, if the prisons were aquariums and the prisoner was an octopus.
"Can't tell if any animals are conscious or if any animal would or could function like we do"
Welp, that is solely due to how vague that sentence is.
A number of animals are on the same level, some of the most primitive human civilizations from not even 5000 years ago were, at the present moment.
That being said this is depending on the metric you are using to measure.
Do keep in mind if you exclude all human evolutions that were more ape than man humans have had 2.5 million years of history.

I think I've experienced ego-death twice. It was a real experience and I really felt disconnected from everything around me. The first time something really really weird happened! I was just sitting there when suddenly I got a feeling as if gravity was changing direction, it's hard to describe but it actually made me flinch in the chair I was sitting in. Almost as when you're falling asleep and your brain thinks you're falling so you wake up. That took me out of the ego-death. I asked the person next to me if they had felt something but it was all fabricated in my mind. It brought me back...
I was left curious how you “accidentally” tripped balls.

ego death is scary, I've formed thoughts similar to this guy and experiencing ego death is one of the lonliest things to feel. It's scary and feels endless; whatever you do to find comfort normally never works. The body you were in abandons you as well and are left in a third person view of your world. People don't really talk about ego death as much but it's a real experience that can either help with growth or stagnate it.

Nice Choice I feel like it helps BECAUSE it’s scary. Nobody WANTS that to happen constantly unless you’re bat-shit mental, but having it happen once or a limited amount of times could really humble someone. The experience they have could be eye opening in any way, such as spiritually, mentally, or socially. I’ve never experienced it once or have done any psychedelic, but I hope to have changed those by the end of my life. I figure shit, once I die, that’s it. Lights out, no more, take it easy. So, might as well get lit while the candle still got some wick.
I've been reading in Buddhism, Zen, and Taoism that all have similar thoughts of what this video is trying to spread. I think your conclusion at the end and the whole video feels very peaceful.
Its not just them. Plato, the earliest Christians and their mystics (especially hysechasm and the views of the Quakers as well), and even in Islam with the concepts found in the teachings of Ibn 'Arabi and also Sufism, all share the same thoughts and ideas laid out here. Its like anyone who seeks what is true with a pure heart simply to know truth cannot help but come to the same conclusions, despite describing the same experiences through different cultural lenses throughout history.
Col. 3:10-11 "Put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all."
This guy always find a way to keep interesting every topic hi speaks about.
one high-dose shroom trip i had, i looked in the mirror and didn't recognize myself. at first it was scary, but then i got up close to the mirror and started studying my face from the perspective of a complete stranger. after that day i felt alot less attached to my appearance, while at the same time understanding how to affect other people's perception of me. really profound experience.
@aperture glad to hear you had a psychedelic experience! we NEED a trip report 😂
You shouldn't do drugs
davood oh “drugs” is a pretty wide generalization. ofc you shouldn’t do meth or heroin, but shrooms are all-natural, non-toxic, and non-addictive. in fact, lots of medical research from the past few decades has provided evidence that shrooms (and other psychedelics) actually reverse addiction, and can help you quit cigarettes or other addictive substances. the main danger is it being laced with something else, which is basically impossible since it’s literally a mushroom.
I couldnt remember who and what I am aswell, scary and fascinating at once lol, never been the same since...
Matthew Thaxton You say it’s not dangerous but it is dangerous especially for someone who’s prone to a psyche break
Zechidvjchi of course there are outliers/exceptions. No shit.
Hi all, I just want to say I love you to all my fellow stardusts. It took us billions of years of journey to experience this planet. Our lives as humans may be difficult, but it’s still a fun ride. If you experience fear, pain, sadness, or agony right now, remember that we are the universe trying to experience and make sense of its own self. It can be chaotic often times and sometimes it’s very blissful.
Remember that you were never alone even before you were born. I, you and we are one. We are the universe. You are the universe. I am the universe.

If you are hungry for more of this school of thought, it's called Zen. Check out some Alan Watts lectures.He is paraphrasing Alan Watts for most of the video.
Alan watts is great, But he kind of goes on and on and on. this guy just said it in 12 minutes. Remember, Mr. Watts made a business out of it.
Who I guess got it from Buddhism. Others get it from Christianity or similar - or just all of a sudden without religion. Just realizes it.
not zen
This is primarily Hindu Advaita Vedanta view
@@memesmojo5622 yes the upanishadic idea
This is Life boy, zen is based on Life. Life is...
This is essentially the Hindu philosophy of Advaita Vedānta. According to Advaita, the same Divine Consciousness manifests as both insentient and sentient beings. Since God is everywhere, we should strive to treat all sentient beings with respect and love. Additionally, it is very probable that many paths can lead us to the truth. This was the philosophy of both Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda. It also influenced Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the Architect of Modern India.
Thank you for this indescribably powerful and enlightening video.
Namaste and love from India! I hope that love and peace prevail in the world! 🙏🇮🇳☮️☮️
Humans are a super AI invented by mother nature and now we are slowly destroying our creator, the exact thing we are afraid of happening with computer AI today.
Who created Mother Nature?
I love a good conspiracy theory, but you gotta first actually base it off of life and there is no mother nature so it wouldn't work
@@tidalforces3880 yes I'm not stupid, but obviously he isn't comparing anything and to me this just sounds like a conspiracy theory. 🤷😂
The Power of Zen Mother universe. I know your next move, don’t. Because I won’t be able to answer it.
If nature wants to create super ai, but biology has its limits. Ask yourself how nature would go about creating ai...
It’s time to get EXISTENTIAL, EXISTENTIAL!
*crIsiS, C R I S I S*
(sorry im having an existential crisis i-)
I really needed this. Today I had a talk with my therapist about the meaninglessness of life and my lack of purpose which has resulted in me being inert. I've basically found that "not doing anything" results in "calmness" then immediately transforms into "nothingness", basically a situation in which the problem and the solution are interchangebale and therefore, a loop is created and I get stuck in it.
This video, specially when you reminded me of the fact that energy is never destroyed and that our consciousness decieves us otherwise, it actually made my heart shiver, in a very good way. It was like a rediscovered sense of "I'll not disappear" which you continued to then say that actually the "I" does disappear, but you as an entity will remain as a part of the greater mystery that we call "life".
Baruch Espinosa's ideas come to mind; those that were explained in "The Story of Philosophy" by Will Durant.
Thanks so much, you beautiful piece of calming Life!
Yeah the ego has to hold on-
Anytime you threaten it’s existence, things get sketchy.
Funny thing is, it’s just an illusion.
An illusion that knows it’s an illusion.🤔

The music around 5:20 is a track I constantly listen to when I'm thinking.
To hear it in one of my favourite youtuber's videos was quite jarring yet lovely.
Amazing video as always, Aperture.
Have you heard of exurb1a? I think I might like him
What's the name? Can you tell me please? :))
whats the name???
what's the track called?
Do you know any... background music in this video..if you do I beg you to send the link..[Please] or just say the name
This gives me a whole new outlook on life. I don't WISH to die. But it makes it almost less scary, and it just makes sense. I have been watching your videos almost the entire day, and I feel I have actually learned something.
This is the most beautiful video I have ever seen. There are no words to describe the utter love and light that comes from an ego death experience, I had 2 years ago, and sincerely, the return to it without the use of any substance is just as difficult as life itself, learning to overcome ego, to live the life as the observer, as the non-doer and as the doer at the same time is not something that the mind can understand. But watching this video brought myself back to it, to the Source, to Reality, I was seeing and listening to myself at that moment, and this sense of Oneness is just the most beautiful and sublime experience any being can have. Thank you so much, from all Love.
I really needed to hear this, kinda put me in a calm state
I don’t know why, but something about this video made something click in me. For about five years, I’ve been in love with the same person. I always heard that I should move on, as life is short, and we have to continue. But something about this video made me realize that I don’t want to stop loving her, and just loving her is enough. I don’t know why this video helped me realize this, but I thank you for it.
Finally, I waited 16 hours for this
the way i see it is when i’m sitting as a passenger in a car. i look out the window and i see other people. maybe they don’t see me but those people, everyone of them, has a life, maybe a family, a favorite movie, a favorite genre of music, or maybe a favorite sport. this is freaky to me. just a thought. 😊
I think that same thing while driving and catching glimpses of people. Strange
Same here lol I always wonder that. Or that I look at my life likes it's important but when I think that everyone else is experiencing life and think they are the center of the human experience it blows my mind.
the scientific term is called sonder.
I think of it as a way to show how insignificant we all are. From my perspective, life is important but it feels meaningless if you compare it to the COUNTLESS numbers of other lives that have been lived and will be lived. (Kind of off topic) You really shouldn't care about being forgotten because everyone will become it someday.
If the Universe is infinite then everything and everybody is the center of the Universe
I wish I had human words to fully describe how this video made me feel.. it was enlightening, terrifying but calming, hopeful yet sad, and makes me wonder what the point of having an ego even is if it just blinds us to want we really are? Our ego forces us to worry and think only of ourselves.. kinda selfish if you think about it. If losing our ego is so liberating, why have it ya know? Idk just thinking out loud.. great video!
The ego is like a curtain we have surrounded ourselves with, that blocks the light from outside, and those who are courageous and curious enough to take a peak of what is outside of the curtain realize the curtain was an illusion to begin with.
The ego is like the shell around a seed, that is meant to be broken when planted in right soil, and of which the seed can never grow up into what it is supposed to be unless it breaks out of the shell that surrounds it.
I said this to someone earlier on in the comments, but I think it appropriately applies here too.
We have to experience what is not-us to be able to have a truly deep sense of what is us. One must be ignorant first in order to appreciate the journey to Wisdom.
If you knew how the game ended with certainty, then it takes away the pursuit of the answers, of which give meaning and purpose to life. If we exist truly to experience and learn what we really are, then it makes sense that there is the ignorance at how it ends, since the anxiety caused by that ignorance becomes the motivation to seek the answers in the first place, relieving the anxiety. So then, what should we make of these things? Even anxiety works for our good, serving its function, but when the function is over, there is nothing left for it but to be eliminated.
@@monkieassasin that's what I have learned... anxiety and depression aren't meant to be feared, they are our greatest teachers
I don't know why but your voice and videos are hypnotising me...
A lot of the comments are trying to be silly but I just want to say thanks for making this video. You explained really well something that is quite difficult to grasp. Well done! I'll come back to this video time and time again.
This is the single best lesson on consciousness and awakening and ego death I have ever heard.
This video is beautiful and concise and perfect. Thank you for your creation!
Now this, this is the shit I came for. This dude is so underrated...
I actually learned an important lesson about myself watching this, I've always been afraid of asking girls out, but realized its not cause I'm shy, its cause my "ego" as you put it is so consumed with thoughts of what-ifs and fears, and if I just let that go, maybe I can eventually do it
Maybe it's because you know you're a loser ? Maybe you look like the Elephant Man ? Sounds more likely .
Any luck with girls?
you have one shot at life, try everything while we’re here
I am the energy of existence. I am oblivion. I am light, I am dark. Their for I am and I am not. Beautiful and discussing. Thank you, and your welcome.

@Albino Cake
it was just a joke :D
@Albino Cake I would call it a creator (of the system). I think God is attached at the hip to religion because of their concept of a being who not only created you (your parents come together to create you), but is also a judge of whether you enter *eternal* hell or heaven. I don't believe in an eternal afterlife, because I'm here at this specific moment and not in either hell or heaven, only aged 19 years. We are creators, and I find myself thanking whatever entity that started the system for giving us this beautiful life and ability, but not everybody comes into a life where they can see this beauty.. Imagine a child who grew up with narcissistic parents that were incapable of loving or teaching him/her. These are often the kids that grow up cold, dark, depressed and toxic. Now imagine that kid goes and causes turmoil for others or takes lives, I would say that the child's upbringing wired their brains a certain way that allowed or bred these problems..So would these children be judged eternally for these things that essentially they had no control over? Because this is where the "evil" in the world stems from. We are whatever our environment is.
God: yes you did! 😁
Man...it was like a spiritual journey towards our inner self...can't explain in words how amazing it was...
These ideas are so interesting, fundamental, and pervasive.
They're so fundamental that notions very similar to these can be found in texts thousands of years old, many of them written by people who may have also been influenced by psychedelics. The more esoteric sects of many religions have thinkers who have written these ideas for millennia, and here we are listening to them today in a more modern format. Even science, which is still commonly believed to be incompatible with these ideas, has given us new perspectives on them and, in a way, strengthened them.
Maybe their timelessness is a testament to their accuracy.
That's all for my rambling; I wish for prosperity for all fellow reality-explorers and truth seekers out there!
I used to have a ton of ego deaths as a kid. Suddenly I felt as if I was viewing my body from somewhere or someone else. I wouldn't think, except for the idea "movie" or dream. It's hard to explain. After a few seconds, I would come back to reality.
This video deserves way more views and likes than this
Well personally I think that we are the only people watching this are unique .........idk about you but I'm here cause I've been asking these questions myself
@@zeroscans3567 That's the exact reason why I am here.
What taught me this? Psychedelics. As cheesy as it sounds, all the substances do is take away your sense of self, and when you do that you unify with the collective consciousness of EVERYTHING. You are this whole universe, you are everything.
just when i wanted an existential crisis. thank you.
The things this guy does is beautiful and i honestly wonder how he made these beautiful videos
natalie I don’t think Hugo meant that in a literal sense.
@@user-pk5eh8kg2v ik I was being sarcastic, I mean it was true but I was jp

especially the video quality
He does it high on psychedelics
You are not just someone talking about life just like many youtubers out there. Calling you someone different from the most is not enough, you are fading into someone that one should be. And I felt that the very first day I interacted with one of your videos.
The thing about us being at the beginning of the universe really hit hard
Funny thing is, we can try to explain this truth. But it can’t be taught nor explained. It must be experienced. To the awakened, this video is a confirmation. To the sleeping one, this is gibberish. However, great job on this video. 🙏🏿👍🏿
and what about the awakening?
this is so very true holy shit. Rn im awakening but today may have been my ego death. today is pretty different than usual. Ive been trying to teach myself to gain more willpower and today i did literaly every little thing that came to my mind. I feel a little closer to being woke than yesterday. and now i need to shit ok bye
The truth is a funny thing man, "It" indeed must be experienced to understand, but even then, I feel no closer to truly understanding it than I was before. There was only the moment of pure understanding but that leaves. I am now merely aware of its existence and do my best to integrate what my mind in its normal state can comprehend of it. But man it does feel good to be "awake". Or maybe thats just my ego lmao
Careful, it’s really easy to fall into your mind’s illusions of what “awakening” is or isn’t. You can imagine experiences you’re not even having. First and foremost, be honest to yourself
Couldn't have put it better. The war on drugs has slowed our species down. We could have had world peace by now.
Listening to this dude on LSD is probably the most calming thing you’ll ever experience.

We should make our separate subreddit
Albino Cake we should name it a ‘flat seal’
I am also a flat seal
We are Sovereign Divine Beings of Light, ONE with the Universe/All That IS! We are Holographic, Multidimensional aspects of God/All That IS! Separation is an Illusion! We as Divine Beings of Light creating our reality! There is no beginning and no ending, there is just the ISNESS of Life, all happening in the Eternal NOW! We choose to forget who we are when we come into this earth reality to have the experience of duality of separateness. 🌹🙏💖
Im only now starting to comprehend the diality of consciousness. The universal application of duality that defines the relationship of everything in inner and outer space. Quantum physics i.e Super position that is being in a state relevant to observation and understanding that the opposite of that form exists simultaneously anywhere else in the universe. So whatever youre are experiencing in consciousness at a given moment is being experienced in relative context,however ,in the opposing realm of possibilities .You may opt for ego death from your perspective but that will only satiate an ego elsewhere. The ego is a constant.
We are the universe, and us trying to understand the universe is just the universe trying to understand itself.
This gave me a new perspective of “life”
There has to be consciousness after death as well, energy created is never destroyed and what would be the point of experiencing anything if nothing is ever gain but just deleted each time.
because it does not require a point
Look up Law of one my friend.
Energie depletes and transforms in other forms of energy. I dont think that it will be conscious.
I think consciousness and the universe itself are so mend bendingly strange that some form of consciousness after death seems pretty plausible, I don’t believe in any religion but I know there’s so much about the universe we could never comprehend as humans
NinjaInPajamas yeah same I don’t believe in religion but there’s way more to life after we die it’s going back to consciousness, death is the biggest illusion.
