yo, is that you at the end??
You should do something on moldbug or nick land, maybe accelerationism through a jungian lense
@@onseayu no haha I wish, its Jack White!
@uberboyo. Bro. Why don't you want us to download your videos.
Please bro. I like the content. But sometimes I want to watch this later.
There’s something I would love to share with you man. Hmu on my email pedrozaragoza64@gmail.com I’m not wasting your time I know I can help you enrich your content because of what I’m studying. It puts all of what your speaking about together but even better!
I think that neuroscientist's story was a perfect example of why your "ego" (left brain) is not your enemy. It was because of her left hemisphere urging her to get help that she survived. The right hemisphere didn't care whether she lived or died because of the big picture perspective. Without the ego we couldn't function in this world. This is just fascinating stuff. Love how you compiled all this btw. It really drives the point home.
Yes, Hugely important idea!
It's like the RH wants to understand, which action needs for its decision making, and LH does the subjective indiviudal behavior maintenance by those understandings. It makes sense the ego would live in Order, language communication, self-governance.
According to Western Spiritual Master Barry Long,the ego is not the problem,it's the false conditioned self that attaches itself to the ego,the ego is indeed important,without it you wouldn't last long
@@orbalturner6747 Sounds like the persona. The pathology of western culture can be described as the virtually exclusive over identification with persona or false self, it's concerns with self and material status, all at the expense of emotional and psychological development. The end result is suffering for those who lives don't live up to what they imagined it would be, and even for many whose lives do.
@@robertdabob8939yes. People believe their conscious Ego is their actual identity, it is not a natural phenomena, the Ego is maladaptive when people are told to identify with their ego and personality as actually authentic Being, instead of realising its an imagination, a hallucination of themselves they embody from birth to death.
This woman was on the science of success podcast. I was listening to her on my headphones while on a job site as a carpenter as she says "even the lowliest carpenter can change his mind" I had to really swallow my pride to finish the episode.
Maybe you are the highest of carpenters? In each calling we could make difference of high and lowm
You can't really blame her for that; it comes with the cult of professionalism that her and her classmates get indoctrinated into as part of their "training."
Her mistake, what’s low about a carpenter? We should craft more, create with our hands
Interesting story, obnoxious story teller. Seems like she’s one of those professors who love the sound of their own voices and just goes on and on through the whole lesson instead of getting answers from students
Maybe she was making a subtle reference to Jesus being a carpenter
Ego death seems like the ultimate act of the ego. For the ultimate motive of an individual in his pursuit of 'ego death' is to attain abilities that will make him 'greater' which is essentially an ego filled desire.
Yeah kinda. The boy dies for the girl, but she must help him be born again.
The death can't be permanent or else she is alone. It feels like going from predominantly one side to jumping to the other. This like flicking a switch.
I am trying to make it more of a dimmer. So that we can share as one.
Both act to preserve the self our or my life. The self being the idealized self loving or actualized whole.
I think equating survival instinct to the ego alone isn't how I feel it. We both want to live. He just dominated too much for too long and now we seek equalibrium.
Yeah it does sound schizophrenic
yea but at the same time it supercedes the ego
Olivia Maynard Olivia Maynard Olivia Maynard that’s really interesting. You basically just described the ending to the video game “Shadow of the Colossus”. I’ve never seen the idea of the girl helping the boy be born again in any other media before.
@@superhoop4358 Interesting. I have never played that game before.
@@oliviamaynard9372 I've heard of that concept and tought of it at some point in time as well, but I didn't know there was a game focused around it
Shiva and Shakti are the female and male hemispheres of the brain. Amazing how ancient cultures knew all this and we think we are so enlightened in these modern times.
Exactly...perception
Ram+Sita Radhe+Krishna
The difference between men and women is only trivially a difference between men and women.
Its fundamentally a difference between PLANTS & ANIMALS.
PLANTS are the Divine Gaian Goddess Female Replenishing Source of Nature.
Animals are just something plants created for move the seeds around.
Go Boyo!!!!! Science is getting closer and closer to religious, spiritual and esoteric truths and I am here for it!!!!!
I fell down the schizophrenic spiral and had my first break when I was 14, I'm 30 now. Videos like this help me wrap my mind around my mind. Seeing psychiatrists and all that never had much of an effect. Thanks boyo, you've made my insomnia a little more bearable
You’re not alone
hey, in case you don't know both schizophrenic effects and insomnia can be caused by too much dopamine. Huberman's pod had a little bit on this in a recent dopamine episode.
"The ego humbled is so much more effective" perfectly phrased. Mind blown
Iain Mcgilchrist has a very very important book about the right and left hemispheres and their influence during history. It’s called The Master and His Emissary.
110%
Honestly the best and most mind blowing non-fiction book I have ever read.
Jung's no 1 and no 2 personalities as described in his autobiography seem to correspond to the characteristics of the left and right hemisphere as described in TMAHE. TMAHE makes so much sense of the human experience in general.
@@SamuelJFord just working my way through Memories, Dreams, Reflections right now, may have to add TMAHE to my reading list
@@maddie7038 It's a biggie! Took me months to get through, though I am a slow reader.
Tell you an interesting tidbit: while I lift and do exercise, I've found that I can count reps in my head by visualizing the numbers rather than counting them aloud in my mind, which then frees my mind to have entirely different simultaneous thoughts at the same time, so I can effectively focus on two tasks at once. I started using this technique at work, visualizing the tasks I had to do as actions rather than thinking about the words of what I had to do. When I did that, it subconsciously transferred the responsibility of maintaining that task to the portion of my brain that is responsible for images, rather than words. Boom! Instantly no more forgetfulness. When I do that, I never forget to do stuff. It's actually amazing.
Hi, welcome back, can you explain more
please explain more, it sounds really interesting!
I noticed for myself my brain is always in "word mode" and i dont have the greatest memory. But when i consciously think of stuff in images it just sticks so much better.
Ohhh.... That explains some things... I've heard of a technique for rembering where you've put your keys, phone, etc that was like that. To actually look at the spot it's at and then visualize it being there. Also it helps to remember to grab things before I head out, imagining myself grabbing that book to return to library on my way, an umbrella, a prescription slip etc etc
I was just thinking about this when I came on and found this premiering.
Synchronicity boyo
Yeah me too
Me to... synchronicities lately kickin hard
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST ENLIGHTENING VIDEO IVE EVER WATCHED!!!
I went through a left brain concussion. I personally experienced the horrors of a narrowed down past/future, chaotic present that just never ended reminding me of what a horror story of reality it faces constantly churning through everything that you should be afraid of but let you know only subtly. Its amazing how enthusiastic you are telling us all the stories and discoveries coming from another passionate soul sharing their curiosity... personally it is a living reality everyday for me.
That woman’s story was really awesome and I’m glad I can understand her words
That was great, but I can’t surrender to a schizophrenic breakthrough, I need to prepare dinner.
*deletes channel in rage*
You know u could fast for months before serious damage
That's sooo left brain.
@@seanhammer6296 I think in upcoming years this how we are going to convey some action that is logic, detail and fact oriented. As, all this things have major evidences to back it up and it is bound to go mainstream.
@@RandomGuy-hh4dk Not real sure what you just said/meant, but I think I agree.
If I find it interesting how Odin plucks out his right eye and drops it into a well and how the eye of Horus is the left eye.
I am seeing all of the history of philosophy as a left-brain right-brain debate after listening to this. Thank you.
Read the master and his emissary
@songololo while I have not read the book, I have listened to hours of lecture and interviews from and with the author!
@@bobs2809 a good read, quite wordy though
I've watched that Ted Talk several times now and it still gives me goosebumbs.
Is there anything of more value on this world than this absolute gem... i dont think so... you NAILED it here boyo this is a fking treasure absolute PRICELESS wisdom
It's interesting that when the right-brain hemisphere was asked "which gender are you?" it responded with the opposite gender. Even if the person laughed after that, I think that is no coincidence.
Jung believed that the key to your unconscious was in the anima/animus. Everyone has an anima/animus. If they are a male, they have an idealized projection of their dream woman, called anima, which is also the opposite gender -- female. If they are female, they have animus, a man in the unconscious.
Do you think it had something to do with that? Any opinions?
Or maybe the right side identifies as female.
Interesting idea, but I think that would imply that the female right brain plays a similar role to the the male left brain. This is despite the known distinctions between the two halves.
Meditation is the shit yo. I had a strange experience a few months after I started. For the first time in my life I had a deeply satisfying sensation that I was finally being listened to and that my thoughts became "smooth and nutritious". Weird shit. I can actively remember my dreams now. I never could remember them more than 5 minutes after waking. They've done autopsies on people who were expert meditators and found that the brain matter along the right/left divide chasm is measurably denser (the 2 sides are listening to each other more closely, more sensitive to what the other is saying). The infinite and the infinitesimal are less easily lost to one another. Conscious experience bends to include more of the right brain's functions. The ego is free to explore the left brain and now has begun to explore the other side of the river. It finds many interesting beings and landscapes but must venture back to the left regularly in order to feel safe for there is too much newness; it's the world's greatest party over there but the party never stops. The ego needs to sleep. The right brain never sleeps until death.
I’ve been blessed to understand this as a young person. It was a slip in ‘ the matrix’ in a way I can’t explain with words. I remember watching Jill five years ago and I cried because she explained it in a way I couldn’t.
All i have to say is thank you for giving this content in the way you do. General is hugging me.
Absolutely brilliant exposé ! You answered a whole host of questions I've been pondering. Thank you :)
I'm dyslexic so grew up thinking I was stupid as could not read easily, pronounce words or remember words but I've always been very perceptive, creative, intuitive and easily see the bigger picture. I was friends with someone with autism who was obsessed with details but not able to see how things connect and no common sense - easily manipulated
It's so interesting to see modern neuroscience, and modern New Age philosophy, slowly crawl its way, like an infant's, back to the most ancient truths that people have known for tens of thousands of years, but we're only recently, relatively speaking, forgotten by the modern, rational over civilized man.
We have to think of it in terms of the left and right brain, but it is merely the Primal polarity of the universe. The masculine and the feminine. The structure, and the substance. The essence and the energy. The Divine father and the Divine mother. Man is not one or the other, but both and also something more.
She’s literally describing some of my mushroom trips
The way she described the shower and the “silence” sounded almost exactly like my most intense dmt trip into the void
Have you heard of Julian Jane's book about the "bicameral mind" ?
-- the idea that in Classical times we were experiencing our thoughts as outside of ourselves, attributed to the gods....
On a different note, I went through an extremely traumatic event 5 months ago and have become extra-aware of what is in conflict internally, in a very precise way that lines up with this right/left brain description.
My inner and the outer worlds have come closer, I experience many synchronicities, and generally feels so much like a psychedelic trip.
Luckily I have skills experience, resilience, and help in other dimensions, and also very grounded.
I can imagine very easily how a traumatic event could split a person into a schizophrenic/pychosis state.
I watched this happen to someone very close to me.
I was reading Janes book but something about it scared me. I was honestly tripping on it. I want to finish reading it tho
yes!1 grat great book!
Really liked your general and soldier analogy for right and left brain. In Indian mythology there is one God named Krishna who in one book called Gita talks to his soldier named Arjuna. Where the arjun is struck in a moral dilemma. Now it all makes sense to me
Alright, story time,
Your videos of late have helped me greatly of understanding the bigger picture of myself.
I had a psychosis 4 years ago. And I've noticed many things. First my psychoses were like an emotional breakdown. After that there was a sense of possession, something was in me that was not me and taking control. This caused me to have a panic attack which increased the impact of the psychoses and I started to feel that my breathing could not meet the desires of my body. A sense of suffocation struck. Fortunately my whole life resolved in understanding psychology en neurology with a philosophic eye. And before that day I was quite balanced, capable of peaceful communication between the two hemispheres. I trained in meditation and could balance myself. To lower the chatter and feel more connected and meaningful. So while having this panic attack I decided to lower my heart rate by meditating. After this act I gained my sense of self again, however it got attacked again by this presence. And so this cycled a couple of times. After the whole event I became mildly schizophrenic and was traumatized.
Although I did not hear things. I could see sparks and they had a conscious side to them and I could sense energy presences around me. I became strictly Christian after all this for a while. However, there came a time when I started to ask questions they could not answer, for they as you say follow the book to strictly for that. I went my own way and developed a more pantheistic view to life, where I saw my self as energy, and because of E=mc² I know that mass is energy. So if I was energy, and I was conscious then perhaps the world is conscious because the world is energy. And I'm part of this world. Like a child of truth. These concept not only where applicable outside of me, but also within the psyche. This better helped me to understand who I'm. But this did not solve my trauma I received after being possessed by an entity in my brain.
And till this day I always feel this presence. Because of your last two video's I now understand that because of my psychoses I'm repressing my right side of me. This thing, that became demonic, was workable with the correct balancing of mind and so it became a guiding force for me to uncover inner and outer truths. To give y'all a metaphor, balancing is like creating a harmonious symphony where every part plays a role in the whole, but also needs to make sense and rhythmically sound. I now start to feel more like my old self again before the psychoses.
Currently, I'm doing balancing practices to learn to re communicate in a peaceful manner with this presence and so far the findings are great. I even achieved ego death again, and with this video I could put it better in to context. Currently, I'm practicing to speak the truth to myself, and I've noticed if I'm patient and wait till my right brain formulates an abstract readable energy, I could better speak with the ego for my real reasons of my behavior. This pactice forces the ego to give up on his own sense of self and authority in favor for a more refined sense of knowledge. This knowledge is not coming from itself in focus or separation but from the whole.
Fascinating!
I'm sorry to hear, but of course these things are a secret blessing!
Have you spent much time actually IN your body, as in FEELING your SENSE BASED experience
That is often the most grounded place to "interact" with this stuff!
@@uberboyo Thanks for replying. And Boyo alert!
Edit: What works for me may not be the best solution to who ever reads this. use your own discernment. :)
At the beginning there where two major obstacles. One was the lost of a sensible world. After my psychoses and possession, I lost my left brain control. Like a full glass shattered in to a million pieces. I had to recollect my memories, sense of self, story, lessons and understanding. To give you an idea, most of the things that I had to relearn was wisdom and critical thinking orientated. For example I had to relearn how to socialize, having gotten back my social anxiety from the past. Or needed to learn how to right coherent sentences again, because most grammar understanding was lost.
The second problem was that of being attacked by rampant thoughts that spiral out of control. Although these thoughts had some resemblance to truth, the panic was incorrect behavior. And many of these thoughts spirals where often based upon a highly evolved suspicion. Not deductive reason. So they had a tendency to also be majorly wrong or overblown.
Meditation in this sense was mostly focusing on as you said sense based reality. And I may add inner understanding of the nature of self. This was a form of vipassana. I already knew I was not the I. But the lesson was lost. So even though I know theoretically. I could not stop identifying. This makes every thought believable as truth and plainly felt even if they were incorrect. Therefore, every thought that came to me completely took me out of this sense based experience. And I suffered emotionally under erroneous conclusions. I developed a nature to reason with the unreasoning. This made me more left brained again. I had a tendency to repress thoughts in favor for focus. I could not contain this state for long. There were reasons for this. For example, fear that my mind would go emotionally out of control again. Correct meditation aught to be effortless and peaceful. My meditation was not. And so work had to be done.
My methodology was very similar as that of yours. You face your fears. This makes you stop fearing fear. But also make you understand why you fear. It makes the world more certain. For example my psychoses have not stripped me away from theory, but understanding of that theory. I may know I’m not the ego, but I do not understand that anymore. So I had to go out in the world again and relearn the theory I once knew. To give you a different perspective, it is one thing to regurgitate a sentence out of a book and another of understanding what you are regurgitating. One is remembering, the other is wisdom. I had to imbue my knowledge with meaning again if that makes sense. And the only way in doing this is by experience, where the emotions are felt.
Besides that, I heavily focused upon authenticity. Authenticity is understood via a logical approach towards thoughts. Where you deduce towards one conclusion. And so this becomes truthful understanding about self. Example, if I where to be an atheist, my act of morality and sticking to principals would have spoken more volume. The atheist would not have believed in god or heaven and still chosen to stick to principals. Leaving only his authentic self as conclusion. If I where to be a Christian by book then it's harder for me to be sure if I'm really moral, I may be doing it to reach heaven. My experience is that it is for the atheist easier to be authentic but harder to stay moral. For the believer it is easier to be moral but harder to be authentic. Another example, don't mistake my kindness for weakness. Many people use there kindness to excuse confrontation. And still claim virtues that they are kind. They are not kind, for they cannot do harm so there kindness means nothing. They are just Soyo's. ;)
To conclude, I eventually became imbalance in the left brain. I started to become more nihilistic and did not really feel the vibrancy of life anymore. So I had to let go of the I I'm identifying with. Let's not make it to mystical. You are awareness, aware of I. You are by law always one with truth. This is how I approach the ego. These sentences may confuse. But we are dealing with a paradox of thought here. With your help I lately felt no longer the desire to need to think. And so I felt effortless peace. There where no words and every thought was balanced and effortlessly integrated. First there was sadness, there was no desire to fix. No reason to be identified. Then I understood that I regained all freedom by letting go on having to need to run this ego script. This infinite loop of insanity, finally after 4 years have come to an end again. This does not mean the I or ego is wrong. This ego script has rebuilt me towards my desire. That what was lost is regained. I have to say that the I is therefore regaining it's former power back. However, this is not a problem. Things happen to me, so this needs to be integrated. It has become a way of life, and I'm nowhere near perfect. Nor do I have to be. But it does make balancing and integrating much more easier now.
Sorry for taking a chunk out of your day with this text. :3
Cruelvader i had an experience earlier this year that was almost exactly like the first thing you described, an emotional breakdown leading into some sort of experience of being attacked by some entity. I tried to fight it and lost my shit, ended up in someone’s backyard doing rituals because I thought i was going to be sacrificed/killed by this entity lmao.... the whole experience was in context of a kundalini awakening, it showed me heaven and hell but it really taught me so much. And i often wondered what would have happened if i had just stayed calm when this entity or presence was felt, that’s why it was interesting to read your comment.
@@ashleyispresent Thank you for your reply,
Your story seems very similar in tone. I'm doing some research in to Kundalini now. And it shined some extra light upon this whole ego: "I'm doing something." and just being something. Thanks and I hope you are doing well!
I love the point about the meditation aspect of religion through prayer accomplishing the goal absolutely necessary to truly live a fulfilled and complete life. i’ve often thought that prayer and concentration on a meditation (the catholic rosary for example) is going to be eventually seen as the answer we’ve been searching for this whole time to give us that inner peace we all desire, and that when we understand that we’ll all be surprised it was in front of us the whole time but because it was under the guise of religion it was discounted. I’m not totally convinced of this yet but what you said and other things i’ve read and learned about are consistently pointing in that direction.. cool video fr
Here after the Pageau conversation. Nice words man. They tickled my curiosity. Helped feed into my long term schizophrenic break of religious transformation and also understand the soldiers I'm surrounded by.
Just want to express my appreciation for these videos that focus on neurology. I love Jung’s writings and all of his books are some of the most profound things I’ve ever read. However I’ve seen multiple times at academic conferences that attract a lot of Jungian psychologists and like minded people something concerning. Some, NOT ALL, treat Jung as Godlike and his works to be gospel, which makes me fear that his great works will be turned into the basis of some demented ideology. Whereas with your videos you take Jung and his works seriously, yet you remain completely open to modern scientific research, such as neurology, and are open to any valid evidence that might improve our understanding of the psyche. Cheers🍺
agree 100% - it turned me off them big time, felt like sitting in a Plato's cave of jargon
Actually the early stages of that might be happening already. Just look at Jordan Peterson.
This happens with the works of all great thinkers. Most people are not capable of creation or abstract thought that exists outside the established matrix. They end up warping and misconstruing the value in that what was created with their own lacking energy in the absence of a genuine thinker.
It wasn't until I watched this video that I fully came to realize I had in fact experienced ego death at the age of 18. Boyo is the way.
What was it like?
Someone here in the comments said they lost their libido and shit. Suddenly, thus whole ego death thing didn't seem so good.
My experience is a bit murky since it was closely followed by an abandonment trauma, but in the wake of that experience, I would say my brain chemistry changed to where I had more advanced language centers which proved useful as a writer. I was writing at the time of the trip just before I let go. I had very vivid controlled dreams for about a year afterward and still get them on occasion, and to this day I can read in my dreams. Plus my ability to write anything from poetry to entire novels has become next level.
The experience itself I’m still trying to understand and unfortunately the people who were there with me that night slapped their own contextual interpretation onto MY experience before I could even make sense of what happened and that was very confusing and damaging. From what I can remember of the actual ego death trip, I was locked in my friend’s bedroom, but I felt like I was this immortal avatar and something was shuffling me around a cosmic chessboard and I was the queen getting moved in any and all directions across space time. One second I was in one location in time and space and with each location came a different persona, then a few minutes later I would be in a different time space location with a different persona. I would almost describe it as becoming hyper-aware of the greater human ego, but my own ego was gone and it took roughly 8 hours before I found “myself” again.
My theory as to why my language centers in particular were impacted so much is because 1) I already had an affinity for language, and 2) during the deepest parts of the experience, I lost 99% of my vocabulary. I could mimic words or say certain words that were familiar, but I didn’t know what the words meant. I think my brain was hyper focused on language after that.
Every world leader MUST learn this information....Great video. One of the best I've seen. Thank you!
Thank you for your FABULOUS content my dear friend (I humbly disagree with the ‘evolution’ theory bit, only, which I find ludicrous, but hey). But your ability to display with these complex notions with such clarity is impressive... Thanks a lot and please keep up the good work! Much love from barcelona
gracias chico!
Thank you. Validates my own beliefs about how the left brain needs to serve the right brain. I could never articulate it but I believe I need to do only that much as is required. The rest of my time is for sensations and enjoyment and trancing. I also believe that the ego needs to be fully developed before I can surrender it, else it keeps coming back to traumatize me.
Traumatize you? How can the ego do that? You're the ego
In addition to Master and His Emissary i also recommend Origin of the Conciousness in the Breakdown of Bimeceral Mind by Julian Jaynes. Total mind blower.
The 12 Steps of AA exposes the shadow and helps us see ourselves as we really are. I did the 12 Steps and had what I think was a spiritual experience - I became conscious and then started asking questions and seeing through the illusions of society. A decade later and read Carl Jung's The Undiscovered Self and think he nails it more than anyone.
If any of you have been study none-duality will understand this in more depth, thank you for your content I've been following your content for a while. Keep it up. :)
This is absolutely fascinating. Whenever I take a large dose of mushrooms, I always feel as though I’m encountering this much larger, feminine intelligence within myself that is possession of all this extraordinary visual data, but I’m always pulled back into my sense of egotistic self after a certain time period in the hallucinatory trance. Makes so much sense that this would be an interaction between my right and left brain.
Thanks Stef. This might be the best one I've seen. Tying the models of the psyche and the hemispheres with proof. Brilliant stuff man
This is the content I come to the internet for.
This is absolutely mind blowing 😱
it really is!
Cultivating ambidexterity is a good way to stimulate the right hemisphere. Improving both fine and gross motor movement skills with both hands increases the size of the “bridge” in between the hemispheres called the corpus callosum, therefore increasing the speed at which both hemispheres communicate with each other. Look into Ambidexterity and whole brain functioning if you’re interested.
if ambidexterity stimulates that in a good way then i am really curious what does playing an instrument like a piano or guitar where you have to have very fine cordonation between right and left, or drums where you have to use all of your limbs. probably this is why many musicians felt that they leveled up as persons and that;s why playing music is an almost religious experience
ciucinciu that’s one reason why I want to learn to play piano, but It’s not easy learning on your own at an older age compared to being instructed during a young age.
ciucinciu although I haven’t strengthened my corpus callosum to the degree of a professional musician, I still notice that I have greater communication between my brain hemispheres than before beginning my Ambidexterity training. I practice writing with both hands, I teach my hands the same skills, I workout, and I practice playing the video game Rockband4 both left handed and right handed on guitar. Using the Rockband guitar controller somewhat emulates finger coordination and independence. It teaches the parts of the brain that control your fingers to “think”.
I feel like my life is coming together, thanks man!
The Peterson-McGilchrist chinwag shortepic a few years back was taste on this - turf to dig, Boyo, when you wager time to enjoy yourself. Unbelievable work, as always. All the best to you, from an Irish Boyo in Leipzig
I’ve had this experience from painting and reading psychology themed books (after years of depression) Jung has the best language to describe the terror involved through the process before the euphoria. An ineffable experience but this lady did a great job at describing it.
Great video! The TED talk is the best ted talk ever and I have loved it for over a decade.
I think the left/right brain distinction is now seriously in doubt at least as it refers to left and right hemispheres. The two separate factors/functions may exist but I’m not sure that they are so clearly delineated in the separate hemispheres.
Can you pls share the name of this Ted Talk? It's fascinating indeed.... I need to watch the whole thing.
Love listening to you. You are such a wise man for your years and so nicely delivered in your smooth Irish accent. 😃 Big love to you from Australia.
G'day mate!
You are such a fascinating boyo.
Lady: has stroke, describes her experience
Society: wow fascinating, very brave
Me: eats 5g of mushrooms, describes the same experience
Society: look at this fucking junkie lmao smh
Thank you! After this comes the understanding of duality, and the middle way. The balanced path.
This was such a masterpiece of a video
Mindblowing....last year during a ceremony I experienced my mind split in the middle and after that I entered that last land state of nirvana....didn't actually realise what that experience was until hearing this woman...thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your perspective is phenomenal. Excellent and well described.
Thank you!
How can we get in communication with the right brain. This is somone recovering from bipolar, psychosis and a few near death experiences
This is the subject of Jill Bolte Taylor’s second book, Whole Brain Living. She’s talked about it a lot in various RUclips interviews.
@@hansenmarcthank you so much for this.
Don't know how I ended up here but glad I did . Just subscribed. Such an interesting topic .
Thanks for this video! Absolutely enlightening and I’ve been studying Jung for a long time. Love the simplicity of your explanation and the allegory of the soldier/general working together to take on the world! Brilliant! So much easier to understand the individuation process. Awesome job!
I like how you placed the song in the video, like a nice little gem for staying until the end. Like the ending credits to a movie. It sounded very interesting and trippy, great work on the song and video!
I’m an English man in turkey listening to an Irish man and I’m surrounded by Russians. Ego crew.
Good content! there is no absolutes ego and being/self need a relative point of reference to opperate.
Yooooo the uploads keep on coming!
Wow you brought up rumi, thats awesome. I notice some things rumi and carl jung says actually paralleled eachother. Have you ever gotten into Ramana Maharshi? I actually gotten into Jung after my time with Maharshi, and his teachings immensly helped me with understanding jung, and jung helped me understand Maharshi to the extant of making it practical. It's very about beating down the left brain and abiding in the right brain state of perception or being
I should note aswell that his realization came from some type of stroke, a near death experience and not an intellectual journey. Jung praised Ramana in a letter iirc
nope! any vids?

which is much easier to read than to listen to. His pearls come from his talks with other people than with his writings.
Wicked funny... this sums up everything u are saying in this video...
U are putting words to all the concepts that I, myself understand... but can't seem to communicate effectively enough. I always say to my clients (I'm a massage therapist, reiki master, shamanic practitioner)... but I always would say to my clients. "Can't u just feel me?"... LOL... ive spent the last 4-5 years doing a face dive into neuroscience, quantum mechanics, psychology, all of it so I can communicate effectively to others the concepts that I innately know to be true... cause I feel them. LOL...
How have I not discovered your channel before this, is beyond me. But my Goddess am I happy I did.
Thank you for everything u are... and thank you for everything u are bringing to this world. 🙏💜🙏
Just discovered your channel today, very good stuff my dude. I have a personal theory linking individual tolerance to psychedelics and the ability of the left brain to generate explanations and keep order and structure in the face of chaos. This video gave me good insight.
Talking of Rumi and Sufism, the destruction of the nafs (ego, self) is a spiritual aspiration.
Lost knowledge of the imagination by Gary Lachman could be an interesting read on this topic. Love how you're able to present these ideas, keep them coming!
This video started many people's transition to the better brighter future.... thank you.
great story about the soldier and the general!
I feel like all my confusion & self examining & frustrations trying to find the "real" and then this video!! No words... thankyou brorher
Damn boyo the insights the insights the electric insights. I can see more clearly now, boyo. Another gem.
Don't think I had a schitzo breakdown but I did stop at 40min in and jot down a bunch of talking points I want to talk about with someone like you if I come across them in the future.
People like this are so hard to come by...mmm, checking out your website now.
Thanks for talking about this brain hemisphere perspective, truly fascinating stuff and makes so much sense! More of this content, tell us what you know and think!
Fascinating content boyo. I have aspirations of becoming a psychiatrist one day, a healer and mentor for those who don't understand themselves,so this is such a valuable insight into the duality of the human mind for me to ponder on. It makes so much sense to me, but I never considered the athena/aries analogy, even though I am fascinated by greek mythology, and psychology. The general/soldier dynamic,and the female neurologists experience were unknown to me. I've had a taste of this... this dissolution of the ego...I'm not sure if it is the same phenomena but it was induced by a series of powerful synchronicities throughout my day at work... I felt like I was non physical, like I was dreaming, that all matter was illusionary and my reality was slipping away, but my left brain was still conscious enough to interpret the sensation as something being wrong with my brain. I had a near panic attack and just so happened to put on a video about soran kirkergaard explaining "existential anxiety" and fearing ones potential, which felt like another synchronicity in itself, but it calmed me down a little. It felt like what that lady was talking about but no where near to that extent ,but almost dipping my toes in the water of infinite awareness. It was extremely uncomfortable but I learned so much from that experience. Luckily my girlfriend calmed me down and I was fine, had a god damn near psychological breakdown though. I have also experienced similar sensations on powerful mushroom trips ive had throughout my life. Thanks for the amazing content bro, gonna go run outside naked now :D
fantastic video boyo
Omg i was feeling empty and Then i find this video. Very refreshing. Thank you so much for this.
Week one doing 30 minute meditation a day. It’s been so helpful for quieting the chatter. I think I’m an official yoga girl now. ☕️ 🧘♀️🤣 Great explanation (as always) breaking down the responsibilities of the left and right brain, and how they can work together. It’s really starting to click for me. 💡
One of the most important videos on the internet.
So if I wear an eye patch over my right eye for a while will my left brain shut up?
Try it and let us know?
Nope
each eye has a split connection to each half of the brain.
Last week a group of astrophysicists came out with a theory that the universe may work like a giant neural network!
Isn't that old news, micro, macro. What is the update ?
Please link an article or something I'm very interested
Your comment is a lie in at least two senses. I’ll let everyone read the article for themselves, but as a foreword it’s not very inspiring. Some respects to the professor obviously, but the theory is beyond a stretch. Ngl I’m kinda salty with OC for drawing excitement up for what essentially is a stoner thought from an overly ambitious professor at a third rate school. If I sound like an ass it’s because I wasted a lot of time figuring this out when it would’ve been a lot simpler for someone else to just sight their source and I’m tired of seeing people be mislead and misinformed on the Internet. The article is fluff that won’t lead to anything and has already been buried. You boyos need to respect yourselves more and do your own research, please.

In better news, they’re making traction in relation to dark matter.

Just like Joseph above, I gotta say that it's a new age nonsense interpretation of actual science. But you gotta admit, the whole thing *looks* like a mycelial or neural network.
Radical Fence Sitting No yeah you’re right, it’s totally fine for the universe to look like a neural network. Jumping the gun however, was promoting the theory “that cloud is kinda shaped like a duck, idk man, maybe that cloud is a duck”
I know I just strawmaned the theory, but I’m tired atm and I’m certain we all get what I mean
Edit: No Problem Simon :)
2:55 I heard that when people try to remember things they instinctively look on their left
Alaways watching your Videos and i can’t understand why you’re not one of the Most viewed guys here on RUclips.. uberboyo rules
Really good job of bringing everything about the subject together, with some really great examples!
Now I am a clumsy and rambling idiot, but my God if only the youtube algorithm encouraged this. I can only imagine what sort of immediate impact on our culture this video would have if it went as viral as it deserves to be. I recommend anyone watching to try to seriously digest this as well as they can. Really try and see how it connects with whatever worldview you have, sort out the implications, honestly see if you can see the things being said in your own life. Don't just accept the jargon in front of the experience. I feel like this video was a missing piece in the puzzle of my understandings. Thank you Uberboyo, keep up the good work.
Boom, I 100% agree, this really changes the game... God bless people like Jill (woman in video) for bringing us this wisdom!
This whole video + The song at the end >>>>>>
Damn, where does a woman find a boyo like you in this fallen world. I love your passion
If you talk to people about what you like, crave and feel you will attract the same type of people. It can be as bad as it sounds good.
you simply need to point and strangers and say: "ASTRAL JUICINESS" in a 19 Century English accent
Then they morph into 6ft 6 highly articulate boyo warriors
This happens regardless of their gender

YO i got to your channel from your mate tom's channel and ive been loving your content, and it helps me understand what i want and how it works so i can effectively work at it, thanks alot man :D Btw, i love how you connect phillosophy, pyschology and relgion to paint a full picture and that makes it really clear, i think everyone could use this kind of information. Like people saying ''be like a child thats the only way you will grow and learn'' is useless (those are only there to remind the people that know what it means already, it doesnt teach), it misses all the nuances that make it helpful, and i think you do great at putting those nuances forth, which make those simple quotes logical.
I sense that us uberboyos are leveling up with every video. Great stuff!
Great work. Well done. 100 % fascinating. Thank you for your hard work and this share.
But simply. The left brain is in union with material-all dead negative powers. The right brain in union within perfect mind-all living positive powers. That's it. We were split thousands of years ago. "The Gnostic Truth, Unity vs Division", ruclips.net/video/Upks5oLN1mY/видео.html&ab_channel=AWikkedMoon
Best yet - hard work paying off - great energy music
I was not sure I wanted to watch this, as I didn’t want to hear anything negative about JBP. I’m so glad I did though. It’s, perhaps, my favorite video of yours....like opening a treasure box without knowing it was a treasure at all. Thank you
I feel like I'm being baby-taught how to read the user-manuals to tear down and re-build an F/A-18 watching these vids
Thank You so much for your videos - they really bring me further! Im a visual artist and art teacher with an almost life long interest in Jung. I have been working for some years with "Active Imagination" - the technique Jung invented and named( Red book-period) for accessing the right part of his brain. It has given me essential pushes in the right direction and I consider it a highway to the integration thats needed. Im using it as well in my art-therapeutic classes.
I hit rock bottom about 2 weeks ago and went through an ego death, followed by a spiritual awakening.
At age 40, it feels like I'm only now learning to think, live and act like an adult!
Ha yeah I had similar but in lucid dream. I faced the ultimate. Tried my best not to fight it. Bleached by nothingness lol. Terrifying and awe inspiring
If you're a dude your mind only matures around 40, a bit later in adhd brains.
Discovered your channel through Gnostic Atheist.
Very pleased I did.
Massively appreciate this video. I watched the video with the neuro-scientist who had a stroke years ago. I often show it to my more prickly-minded (left brain) friends to explain “the self” that I bang on about in more scientific terms. It’s amazing how this area of science is just showing what has been explained in Buddhism, Taoism, Vedanta, and many more for millennia. Nietzsche said that god is dead and he didn’t mean that was a good thing, maybe soon we will awaken to our divinity, maybe another Nietzsche type will come back along and proclaim “god has returned”. We certainly could do with more people who recognise the oneness and divinity within us, behind the illusion of separateness.
Very much enjoy your channel, much love.
This video is amazing! You're explanation resonated with me, more than anything I have ever connected to. Thank you!
Thank you for this. This video reinforced several (seemingly) different thoughts and beliefs into one. I had an epic spiritual moment. Thank you
thank you for your genuine interest in such a valuable field of study brotha!
Appreciate you doing the research for me. Keep making these videos man you’re by far the most entertaining RUclipsr to me and I just found you
