When I was young they said of me, "you think too much" and "you're so naive" and since finding THIRD EYE DROPS it feels like coming home to these thoughts and studies and we are living in times I can only hope to prove my life was a true witness to the mantra I used to say under breath " Some people think I think too much, sometimes I think they Think Not. May grace heal us all into wholeness. It's all I ever hoped to wrought."
Same, Same man. What hitted me harder was: "why did even I listened in the first place?" Not in the douchebag way, just like, why was I expecting to be understanded/ to others to have my same sensibility? The conclusion is even higher: we can only love others, never try to understand.
@@chapas777 @Violet0Light Crazy to see that I wasn't the only kid to be punished for seeing the thing others didn't. Always a "know it all" or actually being scolded and told to " Let someone else answer" A coach of mine once told me,"You CAN hide and lie to everyone forever, but the only person who it will NEVER work on, is whos in the mirror. That's who's survival NEEDS to believe."
Thinking without borders is the best tool a being is born with. Nut cases who run around spewing truth bs only cements shoes and bricks in their pockets of the ones getting spewed on. Cavus,spiritus, indus,solus,back to Justus Von Liebig, The creator of the current mirror. AL,alchemy, alcohol,algorithm,aldehyde, the trans4mation,having company without recognizing it. Then again that's being in the simulation and not recognizing. Red words red books,Rosa Every one of these alchemical spells is the same equation. The more one accepts things as truth, the more entanglement occurs and sooner rather than later, escaping it this go around becomes impossible. Not downing nobody, I'm just saying you are your best source like 👁 am my own source. All AL is after is A👁 from each,words like spirit is from spiritus, when box collecting began. There's no 👁 in team, no u either. Why I avoid collective mindsets all together. A conscious individual understands what living free is,would never under any circumstances talk truth, ask to be followed or follow another. Books,when the sacred pine tree became just timber,because someone had an agenda to accomplish.
Soul theory sells Truth and everybody should believe the same thing Consciousness,Forever learning, never knowing and everyone thinks for themselves the way it'd intended
I enjoyed your talk, the cave, the light we all seek within, the burden of truth, oh to be fully awake that is what I want most! To be free from the matrix and never be caught up again, I hope we all wake up and see the light that is within! know that you are love!
I remember my dad looking in the mirror and saying, that's not me, life is like a dream. We change every minute, every day, every year. How right he is and was.
My Dad said the same thing. When I asked him to explain, he simply said,"You'll understand when you get older." Now that I'm 43 and quit wasting my life with mind altering substances I don't just understand, I KNOW with all my being. It's amazing
I remember being like 3 or 4 and staring in the bathroom mirror in a trance confused at myself like im not in the right form and asking myself if this is really me.
@@RoachDogggJR I had a similar experience at around the same age. The mirror showed round eyes, but I distinctly remembered having Asian eyes... before.
@@notsoseriousmoonlight i straight up was on the vibe of "so im a human now". Swear it was around the time i actually gained consiousness. Its one of my very first core memories, the other from the time being an insanely lucid dream in this huge tile room with a purple hue and it stsrts filling with water
I have forgotten the original author of this quote, but it holds so much value for me: " We all know the same truths but our lives depict how we choose to distort them". Excellent video, I'm glad you popped up in my feed.
The quote you’re referring to seems to resemble a line from the movie “Deconstructing Harry” by Woody Allen. The actual line from the movie is: “All people know the same truth. Our lives consist of how we choose to distort it.”
Spin around, like a whirling dervish, clockwise (yang in the northern hemisphere/yin in the southern hemisphere) or counterclockwise (yin in the northern hemisphere/yang in the southern hemisphere). Chanting these mantras(yin mantras) heal each chakra: Um like "from"(root), Am like "Tom"(sacral/solar plexus), Oom like "room"(heart), Em like "them"(throat), Om like "home"(heart/throat/pineal) and Ngm (humming with tongue on the roof of the mouth/pineal/crown). These mantras build yang in the body: Eem like "team", Im like "him" and Am like "lamb". Chant these mantras a number of times at the corresponding sound frequency for each chakra: 1,2,4,8:256hz(root),144:288hz,34:272hz,33:264hz(sacral),5,20:320hz(solar plexus),88:352hz,21:336hz,89:356hz(heart),3,12:384hz(throat), 7:448hz,13:416hz,(pineal),54:432hz(left brain), 55:440hz(right brain), 60:480hz(crown). The days of the week relate to the chakras as follows: sunday(root), monday(sacral), tuesday(solar plexus), wednesday(heart), thursday(throat), friday(pineal), saturday(crown). Sleep with the head placed east. The cardinal directions represent the 4 seasons: east(spring), south(summer), west(autumn), north(winter) in the northern hemisphere or east(spring),north(summer), west(autumn), and south(winter) in the southern hemisphere. Stare into these symbols before sleep in order: the eye of horus and its mirror image, the eye of ra, one eye at a time, 7 colored rainbow, then the torus yantra, pentacle, metatron's cube, heptagram, enneagram and then the flower of life mandala before sleep. Go for walks while breathing deeply through the mouth and nose(count your breaths based on the number of chanting repetitions for each chakra depending on the day of week). While walking also periodically touch each finger tip to the tip of the thumb and make fists(mudras). Lift weights and box a punching bag. Place coiled copper wire into the soil and grow non-gmo soy, wheat, corn, mint potatoes, regular(unfeminized) cannabis seeds and papaver somniferum(7 year crop rotation). Get natto starter to make natto. Place bare feet and hands on the grass. Sunbathe or shine white LED light on skin during the day and at night use LED lights on red(sunday), orange(monday), yellow(tuesday), green(wedsnesday), blue(thursday), indigo(friday) or violet(saturday) settings and expose all skin to the light. Another helpful suggestion. From friday sunset to saturday sunset rest the sabbath which means no lighting fires(no lighters, stovetops, etc.), no physical exercise, no singing or listening to music, and no buying or selling. This will increase yin in the body for the following week. Breaking the sabbath(doing the opposite) will increase yang in the body for the following week. During the sabbath, if keeping the sabbath, wear all white clothing. If breaking the sabbath, wear all black clothing. Rotate the sleeping cardinal direction at the end of every sabbath: east, south, west, north in the northern hemisphere or east, north, west, south in the southern hemisphere. Take neem(sparingly), cinnamon, turmeric, curcumin, nutmeg, gotu kola, schizandra, fo-ti, garlic, vitamins and minerals. Drink lemon juice, lemon balm, mint herbal teas and kefir. Drink organic caffeinated coffee, tea or cocoa in the morning(take breaks from caffeine as well). Also take n-acetyl cysteine, bromelain and nattokinase(detox). Experiment with resting one different day of the week the same as the sabbath(from sundown to sundown)or every other day sabbath. Worship Amun-Ra. Look into Nos Confunden's terra infinita map.
The control mechanisms of the elites and their masters occasionally show themselves. But you have to be lucky as they will cover up these mistakes very quickly. Once you see behind the veil it is almost pointless to try and convince others. Even direct proof is not enough. remain quiet. go gray. observe. otherwise you will be isolated and ridiculed. Dont believe me? Case in point. Did you watch the olympic opening ceremonies THE DAY OF? If you didnt watch the live broadcast you in fact only saw the edited highlights. The original satanic broadcast was deleted within days. We are being lied to on a daily basis.
I have noticed the more I open my heart to love the more truth wisdom and understanding has come. Amazing to hear this in different words from a different age. Gnosis ❤️
Watching this on youtube feels a bit like the man who escaped the cave and saw truth came back into the cave and is making shadows trying explain that I'm stuck in a cave. Great video 🔥
I realized the other day while daydreaming that the real trick to meditation (that works for me) is to shut off my senses. If i can manage to slowly discern my senses and shut them off i am left with pure mental signal without distortions or distractions. That consciousness is pure thought that when practiced Can be used to control your environment and everything you experience.
The cave story is basically the story of my life the last 10 years…. Trying to get others to see that either can’t see, or don’t want to see. I have converted a few souls to “waking up”, but I’d say 70% at the very least still think I’m insane. It’s so wild to think about.
I feel as a shadow that has seen the outside and ran back knowing it’s an illusion. When I am confronted with this truth my mind slips into a cult trying to entrap me in instead of a friend sharing knowledge and I return how do I let go of these fears and work through them I have tried but I struggle when I try agin same story different setting. If you have any advice I would great appreciate it much love 🙏 ❤
And they probably don’t think your insane just afraid of the knowledge you tried to share with them. So they hold some sort of resentment or fear ❤ I speak from experience it almost makes it hard to be around them because I begins to breaks your reality some part of them wants it to be fake. I speak from experience and kinda feel stuck
I have asked myself many times what the meaning of life is. For many years now the answer has been “goodness”, to be good. I project myself to my deathbed when my life will flash before my eyes, what mattered? That I lived my life truthfully and was good, is all that mattered. Everything flows from those two choices. And it is a choice at first, then increasingly, it is just you. To do what is right, even if it’s hard, even if it costs you.
I was riding my bike to work while listening to this. I became very aware of how all of the cars around me, the people driving them, the obstacles in my way are all manifestations of my mind or soul, outer projections of my inner self. Things that kept trying to distract me from truly listening to this video and maybe raising my psyche.
@@2msvalkyrie529that’s not what he means, hopefully. He means his perception of them is only of his own manifestation, only his perceptive. To them they are far different then what he sees them as. Also if he drove into one of the cars and died he literally would realize yes… they are fake.

Seemed as soon as I started listening to this video, a rare airplane flew over, a motorcycle went by, at least two different dogs started barking, two neighbors started making noise, and some rare bird we never hear here started going off. 😂
@@THIRDEYEDROPS I thank you for this and all your work and wonderful on it. I have always been a deeper and constant thinker in many ways. But my ability for knowledge and comprehension is no where near yours or some of your other listeners. 😢. I am an ADD with learning difficulties all my life ,(68). But I was born with the love and drive to think and perceive deeply. But I didn't get the basics. (Geometry and sucj NEVER made any sense to my little mind. No matter how hard I wanted it to.) Couple that with being raised in a very dysfunctional and abusive home with plenty of trauma...you can see why my brain is not exactly whole. But I have always had a strong 'spiritually in tune' side. I say all that to say thank you for all your work and sharing. I will listen to it many times and keep trying. But if you have any suggestions for where I might listen to this in a 101 format for say 'beginners,' I would appreciate it. Namaste!
@@briobarb8525it’s not ADD sweetheart the government knows better, so they labeled you to dumb you down ( mind control) you are spiritually gifted and feel everyones energy around you, can you imagine ten people in a room all in a different mood and you feel it all ?

WRONG >>> both spaces are real > different dimensions only > don’t be rude to others or yourself > don’t belittle things > one dimension has a quality another a different quality be respectful and kind to both
Beautifully expressed insights my friend! It has always struck me how the freed man is overwhelmed once he is confronted with the truth, and wants to run back to his familiar life knowing it is an illusion. Also, there is that interesting dynamic when one feels the responsibility to help others once one has learned a truth, while knowing that they will not accept it outright. You expressed this so well!
Thank you brother! And yes, such an important aspect of the story. Yet another example of why you’re more free of the cave than 99 percent of people I know (for whatever my opinion is worth) 🤝

It's fascinating to see how close these philosophers actually came to the truth. Like a child explaining their observations about how a mechanism works but doesn't know how it's powered or it's purpose. Im not familiar with philosophers and their theories, so to see a group far removed from my own came so very close on their own, and yet they never discovered the truth. Absolutely fascinating
I wish I'd had this video to refer to in college when I was introduced to Plato's Cave. Being a "knowesis" is very much like being a novice. And when you are new to knowing it knocks you off your feet just as described. You want to go back. You want to not know , but you want others to know, both at the same time. You can't not know though! You will see it in everything. You will see everything.
@@anonony9081Also exactly how the awakening happens. The moment, the piece of information, the scenario you've seen multiple times just played a little longer this time revealing information you caught & then it clicks. Sometimes it's validation, but it's also horrific to others so much so "you won't sleep for a week". Theres no going back once you finally see what they were talking about. You can't stuff that genie back in go rhat bottle no matter how much you try. You either self destruct by your own disgust & hatred you were projecting outward OR you swallow the lump as you realize you had the wool pulled over your eyes. You start taking note of the way information is presented & you start picking it apart looking for the flaw before you'll just except it "as so".
It's a shame your videos don't get more views. I find them incredibly well made, very well constructed, and very informative. Love your channel! Edit: HOLY COW!! SO.MANY.VIEWS!! Very happy to be eating my words, holy moly!!!
If you aren’t a spam paid bot with your extremely general message, then what does it matter if more people see it if you got value from it? Are you referring you want other masses of people to conform to your ideologies? To be shown exactly what you agree with and believe?
@@blockminingsolutionsWtf 😂 They said what they said because they WANT GOOD OUTCOMES for 1) the channel owner (more views = revenue, outreach, etc), and 2) their fellow humans (by seeing something helpful) Why is someone wishing others good things so foreign to you??

Exquisite video. No fat, not too much sugar, well edited and brilliant well thought out. Content coming from someone who clearly cares for their audience. Your honesty comes through clearly. Thank you for the mountain of material you waded through to bring this work, most could not imagine how much heavy reading and time you put in to get this much into one video. Thank you
@@THIRDEYEDROPSjust found you, by way of algorithms, so I'm glad to read that comment as I've only listened for 3 mins, but subbed and looking forward to your work. Aloha from Maui 🤙😎
Fat is a necessity for your brain health. I know you aren’t talking literally like I am, but the underlying connotation from your comment is that fat is bad. It isn’t, it is healthy to consume a certain amount of fat. It’s necessary
I remember when I first learned about fractals and Fibonacci spirals. For months afterward, there was a layer of augmented reality over everything. All I could see was spirals and fractals.
What's augmented? Your calling reality augmented? The life you live and the unreality that you live within is the augmented UNREALITY. Because NONE of this is real. All of this you call life is but a dream of a dream world and dream scape complex. When you die, is when you wake up. When your born essentially into your new life awaiting ahead of you. Each death we have is a graduation further up the mountain back towards our Father Creator. And by the way, He doesn't like the Title, God, Savior, OR Messiah nor is He too fond of those with vices that destroy their lives ending up homeless due to that vice and yet still chasing after that vice doing anything to get at that vice even if it means destroying what others may have just for you to get it. He does not support them he has no argument for them he's actually absolutely disgusted by them and very disappointed. He gives you a life of free will and you disrespect Him by ruining not only your own life but the lives of others trying to support the vice you chose over your life. Yeah, those people don't get to go back Home. They get squashed and deleted from existence of this unreality and don't even show back up in the next unreality. Because they are essentially deleted. He sees them as wastes of life and skin and as fractals of Him, we are extensions of him like each cell of His body is each one of us. For example there are approximately 8 billion people here in this realm. Counting beginning at 100 the count of each of us on The Fathers body of cells would count like this, 100, 100.1, 100.2, 100.3, 100.4, 100.5, 100.6, 100.7, 100.8, 100.9, 101, 101.1, 101.2, 101.3, and so on and so forth. As we each have trillions of cells in our bodies, as does The Father.... Him deleting those He feels have become obsolete, obstructive, and destructive and not contributing towards the betterment of others or the environment, is simply Him ridding Himself of Cancer cells that would be nothing but harmful later on and deadly towards not only themselves but EVERYONE they come near. And so hence is the process of THE ALL FATHER maintaining His health and figure 😊. Enjoy your unreality in which you think is reality. 😊. 👍🏽
@@amerisfanelli4593Well God is all loving. We must earn our way to spend eternity with him. But that’s all we’ve really been told, everything else you say is but speculation. You have many vices, like the vice of finding yourself superior to everyone else because you THINK, you don’t have any vices 😂
Hey Michael, I just wanted to drop a note to let you know this exposition you've given here absolutely had me in tears by the end of it, due to the sheer wonder of the infinite reality which awaits me. This all absolutely excited me, and it brought so many things into perspective! I'm still yet in the beginning stages of my journey, but I feel I've awakened to a new reality after listening to this. I knew there was more, and I can truly see what you have promoted here in this work. I am greatly appreciative for all that you share, you're deeply important work is not unnoticed, and want you to know you are changing lives my brother. Can't wait to join you in pulling others out of darkness. 🙂💖 -Steven
Thank you so much my friend. I really appreciate the kind words and that you were able to hit that moment. Those occasions where the great mystery or the form of the Good makes itself known are so priceless. It’s absolutely not my video, it’s your own connection to the sourceless source and its infinite beauty. Much love to you and Godspeed in your exploration. 🙏❤️🔥🙏
the term is visual snow. in 2019 i suddenly started having pixel vision. i had a stigmatism, but when my eyes were checked, i no longer had a stigmatism. they found nothing wrong with my eyes. but i still see static
I grew up on an island until I was 17 YO. When I was about to leave my dad gave me this book and explained that I do not know anything about the real world and this book would help me understand my new surroundings. I'll never forget that.
An interesting connection to Plato's cave allegory is that of initiation into the mystery cults. Scholars have pointed out that Plato describes the cave allegory using initiation language. He often describes philosophy as an initiation like in the mysteries. The mysteries involved a ritual death and rebirth where the initiate would go from darkness (which represented the underworld/death) to seeing bright light. This bright light often represented the mystery cult deity and is sometimes referred to as the "midnight sun" -- the light that illuminates the darkness. Caves, tombs, caverns, and darkness were associated with the underworld and there's evidence that caves were associated with the mysteries. Platonists described the incarnation of the soul in the body as a death of the soul, or the body as the tomb of the soul. Only through initiation into philosophy can you see the light or "spiritual sun" as you ascend out of the darkness of the cave/tomb.
I believe I opened my third eye on my 52nd birthday. Having taken my own infused coconut oil, I felt a pull to look into the “eyes of the sun” (Mamma, I know what you told me…) while it was at about 80° ( 12:00 ) and, without a filter, I did so. I was in a dream state vision for the next 8 hours and people thought I was demon possessed because of my declarations while in this state. I’m still trying to process it.
@@bahmo100 I'm both. Long gone are the days when they used to pull me aside and make me make things or solve riddles and puzzles. Long gone now too are the days when they separated me from others "for their safety". "With great knowledge comes great responsibility". That saying is so true. So is "knowledge is power' and "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" and "don't shit where you eat.".
Man, this channel is so good. Truly unique and exactly my jam. Hey Michael, please get Robert Edward Grant on your show so you can talk about Math and geometry as the language of God... and aliens and stuff. Keep it up man this is amazing. It's obvious you work hard on bringing all this knowledge together and it's truly a blessing to have access to this.
So interesting. Thankyou for doing the work so I can listen. What came to mind is that although the light is there to show form and our brain then names the form. Without our eyes or 'light receptors' we could not experience light or form. We would just bump into things and not know what it was. Maybe that's too concrete.
@@THIRDEYEDROPS Paul Wallis just covered Plato and the cave connection. Great episode in connecting historic dots and Plato's true understanding of reality.
This really helped me. I've always loved the cave allegory - used to make my kids watch the claymation animation one (they said it was creepy, I said focus on the story!😅) So much for me to ponder and apply. "We're all enamored with the shadows on the wall."
As Michael was speaking I came to the realization that I have you might say unfortunately to the point I've forgotten more than I currently know, I became aware of the allegory of Platos cave in my personal literary journey in my late teens, and much later about simulation theory, but not until just now did I embarrassingly connect the two, which admittedly seems unfathomable, but never the less I appreciate this consciousness expanding revelation, now in my sixties these truths have become the mainstay of my contempations, however fleeting they may be, therefore I feel I must express my gratitude for our orator🍃
Thanks! This exploration of Plato's cave is remarkable. You take us on your very personal journey into discovery. This is why we are here. I will revisit this amazing journey many times. There is so much truth and wisdom presented it cannot be grasped in one visit or perhaps in multiple reviews. None of my words of gratitude can begin to express my feelings.
10 minutes in and I just want to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for being brave enough to follow your passion and sharing it with us. You do a fantastic job of being informative while injecting just enough humor and levity into what can be a heavy/jarring topic. I'm learning while having fun. What a combo. I wish you nothing but continued success and growth.
I would've preferred a more serious approach without the generic humor every other UA-camr does, but I'm glad it wasn't overdone. Jumpcuts and memes have overstayed their welcome.
Thank you brother! What a summary. I just linked the imaging of the shadows on the cave to our ability to see and understand the world with our 5 sense and think it is limited to that. Once we go/connect to the energy realm, we can now feel and view a larger spectrum of « reality », now seeing outside the cave, seeing a larger spectrum of energy and dimensions. Now out of the cave, able to connect to new beings and dimensions.
Surprised you’re surprised with the success of this video; the information is interesting and well structured, and you resonate with yourself in presenting it.
Don't think so anylonger. Too many people know this. They don't have the manpower to go after each and every one of us around the world. It's suffice to ridicule it all.
"Plato's Allegory Of The Cave" has made it's way into my life.. Or did my life find its way into "Plato's Allegory Of The Cave?.... 🤔 At any rate, I feel an awakening within my consciousness. Long sought answers of existence are beginning to take form and I'm just beginning to see myself and the world around me for the first time. Its an eternal dance. It's all about the journey. Absolute Truth means nothing without the journey to arrive to the ultimate conclusions. There is the "word lesson" and the "world lesson". There's no cheating on these tests. No easy answeres and no free meals. I smile thinking about how little I really know. 😄 Thanks for the awesome video. ❤
@THIRDEYEDROPS No way out of that satan system for any of you zombies!!!!!!!!!! Don't make any long term plans because everyone will be taking a trip real soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what I’ve experienced in my own life. We live the biblical characters until we are the consciousness of Job and then we go into the dark night of the soul at that time my third eye opened and scared the crap out of me because I didn’t know such a thing existed. I have received so much knowledge through it and have all this wisdom that I didn’t have prior . Sacred spiritual truths. God finishes our training. We will live the consciousness of the Christ as he resurrects within you and you will know your consciousness is his , one mind one body and one spirit , it’s all been a play ! And it doesn’t stop there .
I like Ramana Maharashi when he said : All u see is the mind= Maya. So ...u can exit ur mind by learn 2 quiet...inquire and observe the mind and not buy into nonsens....though I must say...a Awakening is needed...otherwise u not see...that u dream❤ All the best 2 u guys❤ Also the heart is more knowledgeable as any data stream.
2003 I heard a reference of Plato's Cave for the first time. Eventually I came to understand from above my time and my forms of understanding.I started counting syllables when I was 4 years old.
Seeking a rhythm or a caidence I could adhere to within me without identifying with negative expression of emotion in the words directed toward me from an authority figure.
Michael, I had very high expectations for this video... And still the depth of what we received has blown me away! Truly food for the soul, my reality-tunnel is shaking from the foundations for the first time in a long time!!!
I didn't like math or philosophy in school, you made them my favorite. Last night, I was staring at my recently crossed over 32 year old son's picture in trying to connect with him, and the pic became blurry and watery.
Thank you soo much brother! I’m sceptical about most of the UA-cam-rs, soo grateful that I decided to click on this! (Thank you Plato!) I’ve been attracted to the same books, same philosophers and same psychologist for some reason, now I know why! And today I was in the middle of this episode (which is the first one I saw from you, I was avoiding you before hah), and I needed to go to work, so I wanted to listen to it on Spotify. And on my most pleasant surprise I discovered your podcast with Bledsoe brother! Oh my GOD! I finally know I’m not f’ing crazy! I’m a Serbian dude, if that matters at all (living in Paris). I’m so happy that people similar to me exist, I hope I get to meet you all someday, somewhere. Because I didn’t get the opportunity before, to speak with likeminded people, Hopefully higher forces connect us in this lifetime hah I’m a musician by the name of gruyich, if you by any chance decide to come here, I’d love to talk with you about all this. ♾️💚♾️
This is crazy, your video has given me so much insight. A few weeks ago in meditation I had a vision of a Greek philosophy teacher. He wore a white undergarment with a brown cloth hanging over his shoulder. He gave me a slight grin and there was a voice saying "There is no reason you can be here" at first I thought it was a representation of Pythagoras as numbers have played a significant role on my spiritual journey and I'm now studying numerology. But now I realize there is more to it and it feels like this video is pointing me to look even deeper. In some way I feel myself emerging from the cave. Thank you 💛
Very , quite truly very interesting. The levels push you, have the strength and due caution not to let fear exhaust you but as Tibetan lamas say: "Slowly, slowly". Thank you very, very much for your efforts, insights and recommendations. You have done a great service!
This was stunning! Pluto's story reminds me of my own journey over these past few years. I always resonated with it. This was chock full of wisdom. So gripping! Thank you!
Great video! The exit from the simulation or the Matrix is by following the path of surrender and least resistance to our beliefs about the true self or the origin of the self This path is drawn by the lever of connection we can reach to our higher self/Divinity/God. This explains why many of the names you mentioned used meditation or contemplation to reach higher lever of knowledge and identify patterns/sacred geometry/mathematical formulas of what this universe is made of. 💖
@gamingghost9345 how wrong you are. You DO realize there are over 6,000 documents that show Jesus is God. While we only have one or two sources for much of what we know from ancient history, we have nine ancient sources -inside and outside the New Testament - confirming the testimony of the disciples that they encountered the resurrected Jesus.
The saddest lesson of history is this. If we've been bamboozled long enough we tend to reject all evidence of the bamboozle we've been captured. It's just simply too painful for me to admit we've been taken. If a charlatan takes power over you you almost never get it back. --- Carl Sagan
What helps me is that we all chose to come here to incarnate on this planet aware of the knowledge of this. In Spirit form, there are no secrets. We simply are born with amnesia. Our limited physical minds tend to trigger those emotions, which are valid for you and us all to feel. I would advise you to gain a higher perspective of our reality. This has helped me and I wish the same for you!❤
What we know about trauma is that it reframe the psyche. What we know for sure about sleep and dreams is that they are forgettable. Mix those two notions together and apply them to reincarnation, according birthing being a physical trauma for a baby and a perfect analogy to waking up from a dream. A perfect combination for crafting a manufactured amnesia.
7 Billion People on this earth is truely hard if not near Impossible to comprehend.. There really is a community/family/warm welcoming place for everyone and how ever it is they think and feel about life itself. Moment to reflect on, thank you 🙏🏻 for this.
Well done Michael. I could feel the Platonic torching passing through the centuries and popping up in your video. Best new fact I learned: John Bremer's claim, at 18:33, that Plato placed the divided-line analogy--which depicts the four levels of reality as a line broken into two unequal segments, each of which is broken by the same ratio into two pieces--at that part of the dialogue that correlates to the golden ratio that the divided line represents. "In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities." (Wikipedia) The golden ratio, also known as Phi, is an irrational number, equal to about 2.618... Bremer's claim reminded me of the philosophy professor and mathematician J. B. Kennedy's book, The Musical Structure of Plato's Dialogues. He argues that Plato counted all of the letters in each dialogue, and organized them into perfectly equal blocks of letters to fit on a standard-sized scroll. He then divided each dialogue into twelve equal sections, which correlate to the 12-note Pythagorean musical scale. If you vibrate two strings of the same length, letting one string vibrate as a whole, while vibrating the other at each of the 12 ratios, 1/12, 2/12, 3/12, etc., you will notice that each of those vibrating ratios of the one string will be either harmonious or dissonant with the vibrations of the other whole string. According to Kennedy, Plato places words about harmony and dissonance at the carefully correlated sections of each of his dialogues, when you divide them in 12 equal parts. In addition to direct references to actual music, dissonant and harmonious themes regularly appear at the points in each dialogue that correlate to those kinds of musical notes.
Thank you for this great work. One very big thing I get is that the manner in which you present material is, itself, a lesson to most of the worlds troubles; how often we have no idea of how to respectfully and mindfully engage hot subjects. I happen to see the world in similar view as you, but even if I didn't, the bigger thing is that what you're doing is showing me (an retired communication specialist) that people really can embrace the best subjects calmly and respectfully. That, in and of itself, is reason to watch... but wow, the material is giving so much solace and insight. (are transcripts available for purchase?)
This is the first of your videos I've caught, and I'm an instant sub. Your closing argument where you "don't mean to strawman anyone's beliefs" was brilliant, and I'm not ashamed to say mirrored what I was thinking at that exact moment...I shit thine not. So well done.
Incredible work on this video Michael! Been listening to your podcast since 2020 and this video really sorted out all the Platonic wisdom I've gained from you over the years. I look at you as a parasocial spirit brother of sorts and am grateful for what you put out into the world.
Also, to expand upon my previous post, I'm pretty sure what exists 'out there' transcends everything we know as physical laws. (Logic / mathematics / rationality etc) Infinity cannot be put in a box. I think it's a fools errand to keep trying to explain it or rationalise it with the mode of thinking that we're accustomed to, or have been conditioned with. We've evolved in this 3 dimensional world, limited by duality, logic, "matter", physical constraints, causality, entropy, etc, we've explained a lot of things with science and made a great amount of innovation - *within the confines of our 3 dimensional reality* But we're only seeing a small slice of the overall picture of reality, and we can only make moves within the lines of the grid which we are currently aligned. Just like how different cultures perceive the world differently because of their societal conditioning and the way language shapes the way we think; we can't fathom the greater reality because we're evolved or conditioned to only perceive this limited grid or slice of reality. There are ways to catch glimpses of what lies outside the cave, however as we're still rooted and grounded in our limited reality space we'll consistently be thrown back in. To be free of the cave permanently requires a *fundamental* change to the patterns in which we think. A bottom up re-programming of the mind. I don't believe consciousness to be *just* an emergent property of physical processes, but even if it was; I don't believe it is limited or confined to what we believe to be "solid 3 dimensional space comprised of physical matter" I do believe consciousness has a direct influence on what we would call "the external", and most people are aware of this on a deep intuitive level, but write it off because "that's not how reality works; it's logical and physical" - conditioning.
Michael, this was truly a work of the heart, a work of art and feels like a step towards reality. Thank you for returning to the cave and helping to loosen the shackles for a growing number of people.
I have that gift of seeing vibrating energy but its a constant thing, not just if I stare at something. I can see energy in absolutely everything. Wild world aint it?
You crack me up with the comments about mathematics. Math is the reflection of the true nature of the universe we can live in and experience etc etc which is why it’s so important despite everyone’s disdain for it… wish people loved math more, the things we can perform with math are insane. Thank you for the reiterations of Plato hero in a digestible format. Also milf manor lol. I am grateful for your videos. I’m excited to turn to Rodger Penrose to see what one of my last stops before I write my own book on life philosophy truly begins
Excellent presentation and explanation of the journey to perfect consciousness. Which cannot be described as: 'it has everything' but only explained by 'it lacks nothing'. Thank you. 🌹
Thank you so much for this video and your channel, Michael. We are all blessed to have someone like you that is willing to elucidate the mysteries and to lead us out of the cave. Thank you, Michael.
Some of this I feel may be a more nuanced perspective of Plato's original ideas, but even so, I enjoyed the ride. I only learned about the cave the year prior when I was taking a philosophy class, one that got me to change my degree to an AS in Philosophy, and the allegory stuck with me. Thanks for making these videos and walking through the forest. I wish you were local so I could chat more about it.
Here's how I see it: -photon hits retina -retina sends electric signal to brain -brain uses electric signals to interpret the electric signal -brain somehow creates an image -brain somehow sends image to consciousness -consciousness displays image -conscious you sees image Last 2 are completely non-physical processes, so the image you see is a non-physical re-creation of the physical world, giving you the illusion that YOU are in the physical world, but you aren't, never been, never will, your body inhabits the physical world and sends all the data to your consciousness, which exists in a non-physical plane of existence, once your body dies, the connection is severed and the illusion is broken. How these 2 planes of existence co-exist and interact with one another is the big mystery, and to most modern scientists, the existence of the non-physical is preposterous, as they cannot measure it, but that's like saying your thoughts and dreams don't exist, yet we all know they do.
Hey there! Just tickling the algorithm and taking this opportunity to express my gratitude for what you’re creating here. It feels like such an oasis for me that I haven’t found before.

I remember exiting the cave. In front of me was the shore, at my feet were 10 frogs; representing new levels mew devils. The movies Enemy of the state, Truman show, Terminator, The Matrix are truly relavant.
Ok 10 seconds into this and what he says about staring at an object and noticing it vibrate.... I discovered this about 4 years ago and never mentioned it to anyone for fear of being thought crazy. He just confirmed something that I've been thinking about to myself constantly. Wow....
Very well explained! I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on criticisms of platonism and thoughts on later works of neo-platonic thought. Maybe a future video topic?
And all this time i was frighten because when i stare at anything, it looks wavy or the thing moves itself but somehow remains in place. I was going nuts.
This is one of those videos that will be re-watched with regularity, because it is a perfect contemplation of one of the best contemplative concepts. Thank you for this 🙏💙
Freeing ones mind through, understanding and reaching greater levels of consciousness is one thing, but learning how to use one's understanding of the world to climb the ladders of social heirachy or even escape the game altogether, and create a new one, it's a whole other subject!
I had a spiritual experience that explained to me that everything is based on vibration. Because in the beginning was the word. Sound. Sound is a frequency. It's vibration. Think about reproduction, it's done with vibration.
Without motion the object will fade away. It’s how vision works. Peggy Mason a Neuroscience professor at U Chicago spoke about it in her book on neuroscience
The simulation is your own. We interpret our surrounding environments into a navigable reality. The entire universe manifests inside your own imagination, just like dreams.
@happinesstan I get this but what I do find difficult is this: does the universe outside not actually exist at all? If it does, this is subject/object dualism, if not is that the singularity?
@Russka_Diva is that not the paradox? Only approachable by parable maybe? Like a light that illuminates a certain area, you can see a certain amount but if you increase the amount of light you can see a bit more. That which is in darkness cannot be seen but it doesn't mean nothing is there. Human minds can never see totality which is why people like me who accept this limitation believe there is a consciousness which is all-seeing. Science is therefore fundamentally flawed as a means for finding Truth.
"I know that I know nothing." A "thing" cannot exist by itself. There has to be another "thing" for that thing to exist. If he truly knew no thing then he knew realtor at It's most fundamental, which is unity, oneness and without illusory barriers.
I always loved Art and Philosophy and now I see why I could appreciate and enjoy Geometry- General Math was my nemesis. Very moved by your presentation❤Thank you!
I remember being 5 years old and having at least 5 or 6 adults scold me for asking, “what if this is a dream? Or not real?” Even then I found it super weird and sad. Most people don’t like to think outside the box.
Trying my best to do a controlled remote viewing course, part of my homework is to be aware when you cross every threshold of everything, smells, patterns people, changes. It's amazing what you missed.
When I was young they said of me, "you think too much" and "you're so naive" and since finding THIRD EYE DROPS it feels like coming home to these thoughts and studies and we are living in times I can only hope to prove my life was a true witness to the mantra I used to say under breath " Some people think I think too much, sometimes I think they Think Not. May grace heal us all into wholeness. It's all I ever hoped to wrought."
Same, Same man. What hitted me harder was: "why did even I listened in the first place?" Not in the douchebag way, just like, why was I expecting to be understanded/ to others to have my same sensibility? The conclusion is even higher: we can only love others, never try to understand.

Crazy to see that I wasn't the only kid to be punished for seeing the thing others didn't. Always a "know it all" or actually being scolded and told to " Let someone else answer" A coach of mine once told me,"You CAN hide and lie to everyone forever, but the only person who it will NEVER work on, is whos in the mirror. That's who's survival NEEDS to believe."

Every one of these alchemical spells is the same equation. The more one accepts things as truth, the more entanglement occurs and sooner rather than later, escaping it this go around becomes impossible. Not downing nobody, I'm just saying you are your best source like 👁 am my own source.

I remember my dad looking in the mirror and saying, that's not me, life is like a dream. We change every minute, every day, every year.

I have forgotten the original author of this quote, but it holds so much value for me: " We all know the same truths but our lives depict how we choose to distort them". Excellent video, I'm glad you popped up in my feed.
The quote you’re referring to seems to resemble a line from the movie “Deconstructing Harry” by Woody Allen. The actual line from the movie is: “All people know the same truth. Our lives consist of how we choose to distort it.”
Spin around, like a whirling dervish, clockwise (yang in the northern hemisphere/yin in the southern hemisphere) or counterclockwise (yin in the northern hemisphere/yang in the southern hemisphere). Chanting these mantras(yin mantras) heal each chakra: Um like "from"(root), Am like "Tom"(sacral/solar plexus), Oom like "room"(heart), Em like "them"(throat), Om like "home"(heart/throat/pineal) and Ngm (humming with tongue on the roof of the mouth/pineal/crown). These mantras build yang in the body: Eem like "team", Im like "him" and Am like "lamb". Chant these mantras a number of times at the corresponding sound frequency for each chakra: 1,2,4,8:256hz(root),144:288hz,34:272hz,33:264hz(sacral),5,20:320hz(solar plexus),88:352hz,21:336hz,89:356hz(heart),3,12:384hz(throat), 7:448hz,13:416hz,(pineal),54:432hz(left brain), 55:440hz(right brain), 60:480hz(crown). The days of the week relate to the chakras as follows: sunday(root), monday(sacral), tuesday(solar plexus), wednesday(heart), thursday(throat), friday(pineal), saturday(crown). Sleep with the head placed east. The cardinal directions represent the 4 seasons: east(spring), south(summer), west(autumn), north(winter) in the northern hemisphere or east(spring),north(summer), west(autumn), and south(winter) in the southern hemisphere. Stare into these symbols before sleep in order: the eye of horus and its mirror image, the eye of ra, one eye at a time, 7 colored rainbow, then the torus yantra, pentacle, metatron's cube, heptagram, enneagram and then the flower of life mandala before sleep. Go for walks while breathing deeply through the mouth and nose(count your breaths based on the number of chanting repetitions for each chakra depending on the day of week). While walking also periodically touch each finger tip to the tip of the thumb and make fists(mudras). Lift weights and box a punching bag. Place coiled copper wire into the soil and grow non-gmo soy, wheat, corn, mint potatoes, regular(unfeminized) cannabis seeds and papaver somniferum(7 year crop rotation). Get natto starter to make natto. Place bare feet and hands on the grass. Sunbathe or shine white LED light on skin during the day and at night use LED lights on red(sunday), orange(monday), yellow(tuesday), green(wedsnesday), blue(thursday), indigo(friday) or violet(saturday) settings and expose all skin to the light. Another helpful suggestion. From friday sunset to saturday sunset rest the sabbath which means no lighting fires(no lighters, stovetops, etc.), no physical exercise, no singing or listening to music, and no buying or selling. This will increase yin in the body for the following week. Breaking the sabbath(doing the opposite) will increase yang in the body for the following week. During the sabbath, if keeping the sabbath, wear all white clothing. If breaking the sabbath, wear all black clothing. Rotate the sleeping cardinal direction at the end of every sabbath: east, south, west, north in the northern hemisphere or east, north, west, south in the southern hemisphere. Take neem(sparingly), cinnamon, turmeric, curcumin, nutmeg, gotu kola, schizandra, fo-ti, garlic, vitamins and minerals. Drink lemon juice, lemon balm, mint herbal teas and kefir. Drink organic caffeinated coffee, tea or cocoa in the morning(take breaks from caffeine as well). Also take n-acetyl cysteine, bromelain and nattokinase(detox). Experiment with resting one different day of the week the same as the sabbath(from sundown to sundown)or every other day sabbath. Worship Amun-Ra. Look into Nos Confunden's terra infinita map.
The control mechanisms of the elites and their masters occasionally show themselves. But you have to be lucky as they will cover up these mistakes very quickly. Once you see behind the veil it is almost pointless to try and convince others. Even direct proof is not enough. remain quiet. go gray. observe. otherwise you will be isolated and ridiculed. Dont believe me? Case in point. Did you watch the olympic opening ceremonies THE DAY OF? If you didnt watch the live broadcast you in fact only saw the edited highlights. The original satanic broadcast was deleted within days. We are being lied to on a daily basis.

I realized the other day while daydreaming that the real trick to meditation (that works for me) is to shut off my senses. If i can manage to slowly discern my senses and shut them off i am left with pure mental signal without distortions or distractions. That consciousness is pure thought that when practiced Can be used to control your environment and everything you experience.
@@ryannolan9410Hmmm how’d that go?
The cave story is basically the story of my life the last 10 years…. Trying to get others to see that either can’t see, or don’t want to see. I have converted a few souls to “waking up”, but I’d say 70% at the very least still think I’m insane. It’s so wild to think about.
I feel as a shadow that has seen the outside and ran back knowing it’s an illusion. When I am confronted with this truth my mind slips into a cult trying to entrap me in instead of a friend sharing knowledge and I return how do I let go of these fears and work through them I have tried but I struggle when I try agin same story different setting.

And they probably don’t think your insane just afraid of the knowledge you tried to share with them. So they hold some sort of resentment or fear ❤ I speak from experience it almost makes it hard to be around them because I begins to breaks your reality some part of them wants it to be fake.

@@NewMeNewLifeis there any tangible proof at all? no?
I have asked myself many times what the meaning of life is. For many years now the answer has been “goodness”, to be good. I project myself to my deathbed when my life will flash before my eyes, what mattered? That I lived my life truthfully and was good, is all that mattered. Everything flows from those two choices. And it is a choice at first, then increasingly, it is just you. To do what is right, even if it’s hard, even if it costs you.
God bless you bro, everything you say is so right...
Love is the key to everything.

It's fascinating to see how close these philosophers actually came to the truth. Like a child explaining their observations about how a mechanism works but doesn't know how it's powered or it's purpose. Im not familiar with philosophers and their theories, so to see a group far removed from my own came so very close on their own, and yet they never discovered the truth. Absolutely fascinating

I wish I'd had this video to refer to in college when I was introduced to Plato's Cave. Being a "knowesis" is very much like being a novice. And when you are new to knowing it knocks you off your feet just as described. You want to go back. You want to not know , but you want others to know, both at the same time. You can't not know though! You will see it in everything. You will see everything.

I remember when I first learned about fractals and Fibonacci spirals. For months afterward, there was a layer of augmented reality over everything. All I could see was spirals and fractals.
Yes, same! Noticing them everywhere
What's augmented? Your calling reality augmented? The life you live and the unreality that you live within is the augmented UNREALITY. Because NONE of this is real.
All of this you call life is but a dream of a dream world and dream scape complex. When you die, is when you wake up. When your born essentially into your new life awaiting ahead of you. Each death we have is a graduation further up the mountain back towards our Father Creator.
And by the way, He doesn't like the Title, God, Savior, OR Messiah nor is He too fond of those with vices that destroy their lives ending up homeless due to that vice and yet still chasing after that vice doing anything to get at that vice even if it means destroying what others may have just for you to get it. He does not support them he has no argument for them he's actually absolutely disgusted by them and very disappointed.
He gives you a life of free will and you disrespect Him by ruining not only your own life but the lives of others trying to support the vice you chose over your life. Yeah, those people don't get to go back Home. They get squashed and deleted from existence of this unreality and don't even show back up in the next unreality. Because they are essentially deleted. He sees them as wastes of life and skin and as fractals of Him, we are extensions of him like each cell of His body is each one of us. For example there are approximately 8 billion people here in this realm.
Counting beginning at 100 the count of each of us on The Fathers body of cells would count like this, 100, 100.1, 100.2, 100.3, 100.4, 100.5, 100.6, 100.7, 100.8, 100.9, 101, 101.1, 101.2, 101.3, and so on and so forth. As we each have trillions of cells in our bodies, as does The Father....
Him deleting those He feels have become obsolete, obstructive, and destructive and not contributing towards the betterment of others or the environment, is simply Him ridding Himself of Cancer cells that would be nothing but harmful later on and deadly towards not only themselves but EVERYONE they come near. And so hence is the process of THE ALL FATHER maintaining His health and figure 😊. Enjoy your unreality in which you think is reality. 😊. 👍🏽

I'm still yet in the beginning stages of my journey, but I feel I've awakened to a new reality after listening to this. I knew there was more, and I can truly see what you have promoted here in this work.
I am greatly appreciative for all that you share, you're deeply important work is not unnoticed, and want you to know you are changing lives my brother.

An interesting connection to Plato's cave allegory is that of initiation into the mystery cults. Scholars have pointed out that Plato describes the cave allegory using initiation language. He often describes philosophy as an initiation like in the mysteries. The mysteries involved a ritual death and rebirth where the initiate would go from darkness (which represented the underworld/death) to seeing bright light. This bright light often represented the mystery cult deity and is sometimes referred to as the "midnight sun" -- the light that illuminates the darkness. Caves, tombs, caverns, and darkness were associated with the underworld and there's evidence that caves were associated with the mysteries. Platonists described the incarnation of the soul in the body as a death of the soul, or the body as the tomb of the soul. Only through initiation into philosophy can you see the light or "spiritual sun" as you ascend out of the darkness of the cave/tomb.
Great stuff!
I believe I opened my third eye on my 52nd birthday. Having taken my own infused coconut oil, I felt a pull to look into the “eyes of the sun” (Mamma, I know what you told me…) while it was at about 80° ( 12:00 ) and, without a filter, I did so. I was in a dream state vision for the next 8 hours and people thought I was demon possessed because of my declarations while in this state. I’m still trying to process it.
In school we had a very good class teacher, Mr Gillard, who used to often warn me " xxxxx, there's a very thin line between a genius & a madman"
Clones love to instill cognitive dissonance. You should have said “there is a fine line between a teacher and a shill”

Long gone now too are the days when they separated me from others "for their safety". "With great knowledge comes great responsibility". That saying is so true. So is "knowledge is power' and "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" and "don't shit where you eat.".
Man, this channel is so good. Truly unique and exactly my jam. Hey Michael, please get Robert Edward Grant on your show so you can talk about Math and geometry as the language of God... and aliens and stuff.

Thank you my friend! Yes he’s been requested a lot!
So interesting. Thankyou for doing the work so I can listen. What came to mind is that although the light is there to show form and our brain then names the form. Without our eyes or 'light receptors' we could not experience light or form. We would just bump into things and not know what it was. Maybe that's too concrete.
Robert dunno some call him a quack and some of his teachings don't add up. I don't know. it's just what I saw looking into him

As Michael was speaking I came to the realization that I have you might say unfortunately to the point I've forgotten more than I currently know, I became aware of the allegory of Platos cave in my personal literary journey in my late teens, and much later about simulation theory, but not until just now did I embarrassingly connect the two, which admittedly seems unfathomable, but never the less I appreciate this consciousness expanding revelation, now in my sixties these truths have become the mainstay of my contempations, however fleeting they may be, therefore I feel I must express my gratitude for our orator🍃
Fantastic job diving into Plato's cave. It's not often people really go beyond the surface level. But you did and I think you did so faithfully.
Thanks!
This exploration of Plato's cave is remarkable. You take us on your very personal journey into discovery. This is why we are here. I will revisit this amazing journey many times. There is so much truth and wisdom presented it cannot be grasped in one visit or perhaps in multiple reviews. None of my words of gratitude can begin to express my feelings.
10 minutes in and I just want to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for being brave enough to follow your passion and sharing it with us. You do a fantastic job of being informative while injecting just enough humor and levity into what can be a heavy/jarring topic. I'm learning while having fun. What a combo.

I would've preferred a more serious approach without the generic humor every other UA-camr does, but I'm glad it wasn't overdone. Jumpcuts and memes have overstayed their welcome.
Thank you brother! What a summary. I just linked the imaging of the shadows on the cave to our ability to see and understand the world with our 5 sense and think it is limited to that.
Once we go/connect to the energy realm, we can now feel and view a larger spectrum of « reality », now seeing outside the cave, seeing a larger spectrum of energy and dimensions. Now out of the cave, able to connect to new beings and dimensions.

This is crazy, your video has given me so much insight. A few weeks ago in meditation I had a vision of a Greek philosophy teacher. He wore a white undergarment with a brown cloth hanging over his shoulder. He gave me a slight grin and there was a voice saying "There is no reason you can be here" at first I thought it was a representation of Pythagoras as numbers have played a significant role on my spiritual journey and I'm now studying numerology. But now I realize there is more to it and it feels like this video is pointing me to look even deeper. In some way I feel myself emerging from the cave. Thank you 💛
Very , quite truly very interesting. The levels push you, have the strength and due caution not to let fear exhaust you but as Tibetan lamas say: "Slowly, slowly". Thank you very, very much for your efforts, insights and recommendations. You have done a great service!

The exit from the simulation or the Matrix is by following the path of surrender and least resistance to our beliefs about the true self or the origin of the self
This path is drawn by the lever of connection we can reach to our higher self/Divinity/God. This explains why many of the names you mentioned used meditation or contemplation to reach higher lever of knowledge and identify patterns/sacred geometry/mathematical formulas of what this universe is made of. 💖
There is only one way out of the simulation, and his name is Jesus
Christ consciousness in you is the key . Jesus shows us the way

😂 Jesus is part of simulation.
@gamingghost9345 how wrong you are. You DO realize there are over 6,000 documents that show Jesus is God. While we only have one or two sources for much of what we know from ancient history, we have nine ancient sources -inside and outside the New Testament - confirming the testimony of the disciples that they encountered the resurrected Jesus.

What helps me is that we all chose to come here to incarnate on this planet aware of the knowledge of this. In Spirit form, there are no secrets. We simply are born with amnesia. Our limited physical minds tend to trigger those emotions, which are valid for you and us all to feel. I would advise you to gain a higher perspective of our reality. This has helped me and I wish the same for you!❤
What we know about trauma is that it reframe the psyche. What we know for sure about sleep and dreams is that they are forgettable.

Well done Michael. I could feel the Platonic torching passing through the centuries and popping up in your video. Best new fact I learned: John Bremer's claim, at 18:33, that Plato placed the divided-line analogy--which depicts the four levels of reality as a line broken into two unequal segments, each of which is broken by the same ratio into two pieces--at that part of the dialogue that correlates to the golden ratio that the divided line represents. "In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities." (Wikipedia) The golden ratio, also known as Phi, is an irrational number, equal to about 2.618... Bremer's claim reminded me of the philosophy professor and mathematician J. B. Kennedy's book, The Musical Structure of Plato's Dialogues. He argues that Plato counted all of the letters in each dialogue, and organized them into perfectly equal blocks of letters to fit on a standard-sized scroll. He then divided each dialogue into twelve equal sections, which correlate to the 12-note Pythagorean musical scale. If you vibrate two strings of the same length, letting one string vibrate as a whole, while vibrating the other at each of the 12 ratios, 1/12, 2/12, 3/12, etc., you will notice that each of those vibrating ratios of the one string will be either harmonious or dissonant with the vibrations of the other whole string. According to Kennedy, Plato places words about harmony and dissonance at the carefully correlated sections of each of his dialogues, when you divide them in 12 equal parts. In addition to direct references to actual music, dissonant and harmonious themes regularly appear at the points in each dialogue that correlate to those kinds of musical notes.
Thank you for this great work. One very big thing I get is that the manner in which you present material is, itself, a lesson to most of the worlds troubles; how often we have no idea of how to respectfully and mindfully engage hot subjects. I happen to see the world in similar view as you, but even if I didn't, the bigger thing is that what you're doing is showing me (an retired communication specialist) that people really can embrace the best subjects calmly and respectfully. That, in and of itself, is reason to watch... but wow, the material is giving so much solace and insight. (are transcripts available for purchase?)
This is the first of your videos I've caught, and I'm an instant sub. Your closing argument where you "don't mean to strawman anyone's beliefs" was brilliant, and I'm not ashamed to say mirrored what I was thinking at that exact moment...I shit thine not. So well done.
Welcome my friend 🤝🌀🤝
No stone unturned, entertain every aspect of any question. Put it in every thought process you have then find some more lol...
Incredible work on this video Michael! Been listening to your podcast since 2020 and this video really sorted out all the Platonic wisdom I've gained from you over the years. I look at you as a parasocial spirit brother of sorts and am grateful for what you put out into the world.
Also, to expand upon my previous post, I'm pretty sure what exists 'out there' transcends everything we know as physical laws. (Logic / mathematics / rationality etc) Infinity cannot be put in a box.
I think it's a fools errand to keep trying to explain it or rationalise it with the mode of thinking that we're accustomed to, or have been conditioned with.
We've evolved in this 3 dimensional world, limited by duality, logic, "matter", physical constraints, causality, entropy, etc, we've explained a lot of things with science and made a great amount of innovation - *within the confines of our 3 dimensional reality*
But we're only seeing a small slice of the overall picture of reality, and we can only make moves within the lines of the grid which we are currently aligned.
Just like how different cultures perceive the world differently because of their societal conditioning and the way language shapes the way we think; we can't fathom the greater reality because we're evolved or conditioned to only perceive this limited grid or slice of reality.
There are ways to catch glimpses of what lies outside the cave, however as we're still rooted and grounded in our limited reality space we'll consistently be thrown back in.
To be free of the cave permanently requires a *fundamental* change to the patterns in which we think.
A bottom up re-programming of the mind.
I don't believe consciousness to be *just* an emergent property of physical processes, but even if it was; I don't believe it is limited or confined to what we believe to be "solid 3 dimensional space comprised of physical matter"
I do believe consciousness has a direct influence on what we would call "the external", and most people are aware of this on a deep intuitive level, but write it off because "that's not how reality works; it's logical and physical" - conditioning.
Thank you for sharing your personal exploration and making it universal with great clarity.
Thank you! 🙏
Michael, this was truly a work of the heart, a work of art and feels like a step towards reality. Thank you for returning to the cave and helping to loosen the shackles for a growing number of people.

I simply love your contente and the way you present it. Thank you so much for being yourself a light in this cave ❤
Some of this I feel may be a more nuanced perspective of Plato's original ideas, but even so, I enjoyed the ride. I only learned about the cave the year prior when I was taking a philosophy class, one that got me to change my degree to an AS in Philosophy, and the allegory stuck with me. Thanks for making these videos and walking through the forest. I wish you were local so I could chat more about it.
Here's how I see it:
-photon hits retina
-retina sends electric signal to brain
-brain uses electric signals to interpret the electric signal
-brain somehow creates an image
-brain somehow sends image to consciousness
-consciousness displays image
-conscious you sees image
Last 2 are completely non-physical processes, so the image you see is a non-physical re-creation of the physical world, giving you the illusion that YOU are in the physical world, but you aren't, never been, never will, your body inhabits the physical world and sends all the data to your consciousness, which exists in a non-physical plane of existence, once your body dies, the connection is severed and the illusion is broken. How these 2 planes of existence co-exist and interact with one another is the big mystery, and to most modern scientists, the existence of the non-physical is preposterous, as they cannot measure it, but that's like saying your thoughts and dreams don't exist, yet we all know they do.

Idk why but this saying imho still holds true, “You are born alone, you will live alone and you will die alone”
Freeing ones mind through, understanding and reaching greater levels of consciousness is one thing, but learning how to use one's understanding of the world to climb the ladders of social heirachy or even escape the game altogether, and create a new one, it's a whole other subject!
Why would you ? I left that game. It’s a fools errand.
I had a spiritual experience that explained to me that everything is based on vibration. Because in the beginning was the word. Sound. Sound is a frequency. It's vibration. Think about reproduction, it's done with vibration.

The simulation is your own. We interpret our surrounding environments into a navigable reality. The entire universe manifests inside your own imagination, just like dreams.
@happinesstan I get this but what I do find difficult is this: does the universe outside not actually exist at all? If it does, this is subject/object dualism, if not is that the singularity?
wow how can I imagine such an events or something I don’t understand or don’t know about it or hate ?
@Russka_Diva is that not the paradox? Only approachable by parable maybe? Like a light that illuminates a certain area, you can see a certain amount but if you increase the amount of light you can see a bit more. That which is in darkness cannot be seen but it doesn't mean nothing is there. Human minds can never see totality which is why people like me who accept this limitation believe there is a consciousness which is all-seeing. Science is therefore fundamentally flawed as a means for finding Truth.
"I know that I know nothing." A "thing" cannot exist by itself. There has to be another "thing" for that thing to exist. If he truly knew no thing then he knew realtor at It's most fundamental, which is unity, oneness and without illusory barriers.
