- 'Higher consciousness' sounds mystical and possibly irritating. It shouldn't. It just captures how we see things when we go beyond our own egos.

“The term ‘higher consciousness’ is often used by spiritually-minded people to describe important but hard-to-reach mental states. Hindu sages, Christian monks and Buddhist ascetics all speak of reaching moments of ‘higher consciousness’ - through meditation or chanting, fasting or pilgrimages...”

"a mind stretched by experience can never return to its old dimensions"
But It Can Transcend!
Beautiful quote.
@@prem_tamilsiddha8987 yeah
let me see yo TATAS
Jerry Brown beautiful quote
Sometimes higher consciousness can bring about great loneliness. This is because when you realize how superficial and temporary the petty pleasures most people adore and strive for.
Stuff like status and validation as seen in the "social" media, short lived pleasures such as alcohol and pointless sex, creating a image of oneself only reflecting a flattering fraction of our predominantly strife lives and relishing in material goods all become pointless.
Once you reach higher consciousness you start seeing the false self conceived perception of a flamboyant life every working man and woman strives for. They care for nothing else, believing they only can find happiness and peace in a fantasy. This renders them unable to see the truly rich and fulfilling simple life.
No one wants a good friend anymore. No one wants to settle for simpler pleasures. No one wants to do any type of introspection or understand life. They just want to earn money by slaving themselves away at work, blow it on material goods, get drunk on Fridays and getting "likes" and "big friend lists" on social media.
I agree with you. Once you reach higher consciousness it's hard to relate to people. When I learned the origin of the word meme I became super aware of how they affected people's attention and can't enjoy them as entertainment. I find it difficult to watch movies/TV shows because of all the cliche lines, archetypes and hero's journey's bored me while non-fiction/philosophical content intrigues me. I notice people try to escape from reality and I strive to escape to reality. I'm aware that I can turn off this "higher consciousness" to fit in but I always choose not too by remembering
" as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others."
Exactly
ProfessorHacks
Absolutely brilliant observation.
Well said. It's probably one of the reason I feel like I'm not of this world and there's a chance that I might kill myself.
As part of the general, unenlightened public, I can relate to this feeling after hearing a guy went on a shooting rampage after losing a video game competition.
Kinda makes you realize consciousness is a spectrum (Gains +5 consciousness points for that realization)
its like deep down everyone knows the truth but noone want to talk about it
well thats more political correctness in 2016 unfortunately
Yeah man. The ego and their insecurities are toxicly shutting down everyone else. Then we think this dystopia is normal.
Jesus is the Truth the Way the Life
***** classic athiest "nobody knows the truth" 2 weeks ago but now your telling someone they are wrong
why? Fear?
Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the Weather.
the funniest shit ever but i love it
Good one!
Just wanted to be sure that we give credit for that awesome quote to the late great comedian, Bill Hicks... everyone should check out his stuff on UA-cam... BTW, that exact quote being delivered by Bill himself, was sampled in a song by Tool... forget which one at the moment - maybe Arizona Bay? Someone here can correct me if that's wrong...
@@nucdph The song is called Third Eye from the Ænima album
You can reach that state without damaging your health with acid. That's just ignorant.
Reading these comments make me feel less overwhelmed by awareness. Less alone
Lynn-Saskya Toussaint we're with you, always 🙏🏼
Hi Lynn I am from India it's January and we got the kite festival I am very excited here hope you also have some fun we're with you and there's no shortage of people like us who aim for the higer consciousness day in day out🙏💝
💙😊👍
you arent aware of reality you stupid animals
are you a nihilist? no? you arent aware.
@@johnjonjhonjonathanjohnson3559 nihilists are just depressed people who can't deal with 'awareness'
The only downside of having reached a higher state of consciousness is accepting you can't accurately share the sensation of insight and get others you love to reach higher states of mind too. They have to want to do it on their own and it requires the right amount fortunate/unfortunate experiences.
Hunter Cook nice job.
Hunter Cook I appreciate your articulation. I couldn't have said it better. Have you ever read the book siddhartha?
this is so true
great comment
i feel like i have high consciousness and whenever i get in a deep conversation with people they think im legit insane or depressed
Do people not just naturally think about things like this all the time?
Cheaminks apparently not, I’ve always thought like this ever since I was 17
Yeah I’ve had an existential crisis everyday since I was like 17
Only you knows what you think
Yes, I do
Some people weren’t blessed with this curse we have. We are higher beings, higher thinkers. But it fucking sucks and makes life more difficult
After months and months of meditating, You'll find out that the answer to everything was within yourself this whole time.
Mr. Notoriouss explain
@@useryetheone its for us to figure out on our own
Kevin Poveda an explanation would not satisfy you, you have to discover it for yourself. It's there for you though so don't worry about rushing to find it, because you could never lose it in the first place. And that's the answer 😉
@@useryetheone be here now
@@profitzay how should we get into the path of meditation? How did u?
A big part of being “greater” minded is being able to recognize your flaws and just how level you are with others. Believing that you are somehow greater, proves that you are still thinking in a hierarchy based mindset.
Basically 99% of the comments saying that they are conscious when they are just thinking they are superior to the rest of "normal" people
Arizcun I was just trying to get across to certain people, I know that I’m not anything greater because I could get my head smashed in just like any other human. Honestly I try to have a down to earth view. I was trying to bring a better view to people who truly believe that they are somehow genius.Or people who shame others that like girls, and cars and normal things that humans like. It was nothing woke or special it was just to chang some cocky people.
@@isaccabrera4817 Many people think they are fully conscious when they are just thinking in existence and its meaning (like everyone else does), and don't find the answer to that, then they say they are depressed. It's funny to see how everyone thinks they are so intelligent and conscious while no one of us is able to understand it (well, maybe 1 person out of the 5'4 million views the video has is able to understand full consciousness).
Arizcun I agree
True
Your whole channel puts me in a state of higher consciousness.
Definitely
WILD THINGS ....I thought even scientist agree that even our minds or Brain's are evolving with time ...🍍
god yes. at times i feel this channel is my only friend. the only one who gets me😔
WILD TH
WILD THINGS it depends. To me it would be where am I in the exact moment that I'm watching this video, late at night, morning or just any moment vu by myself. So to me no the video it self does not put me on a higher conscience, to me it depends.
Higher Consciousness is great but dangerous at the same time, It can lead to an Existential Crisis and Deep Depression.
this discussion has to be taken very philosophically...
That is only if you don't understand and accept that it's a good thing. It can get lonely but don't sweat it. You're way better off
I completely agree, ever since I was young I’ve always felt different because of the way I thought and how others didn’t understand me. I didn’t understand why until I was sixteen and I started to evaluate life on a greater scale and tried so without applying any norms I knew through society. Overtime, I began to suffer an existential crisis because of how fragile my mind was. When you access your neocortex and think more broadly it’s expected to be incomprehensible. That’s why most individuals cannot atone to a higher consciousness. However, despite suffering up until about a month ago I’ve learned to embrace rather then fear the bigger picture. By doing this I could use my heightened thought process to evaluate other things, in particular: systems of government, why humans do certain thing, true meaning of love, and such. Embrace it, do not fear.
additionally, I also want to say I believe I achieved this stage because of my parents early divorce and violence in the household ontop of being independent. I was always a thinker so when I was left alone I often thought about aspects of life on a greater scale. Difficult experiences can you help achieve a thought of higher consciousness but truthfully I believe independency, passion to learn what’s unknown, and the ability to think very often is what will allow you to achieve a higher consciousness.
It happened to me. You realize not many are like you. Feeling very lonely. The worst moment of my life is when I lost my higher consciousness... I miss it. I’m still lost.
I am absolutely adoring what this comment section has to say regarding this video. You guys genuinely put things together that would take me some time to be able to put together in my head in an easy-to-digest manner.
higher consciousness is the best drug
***** it's not a drug, its getting past your perspective and seeing the world for what it is; beautiful.
Haha yeah I figured, well I don't think it has anything to do with being practical because it involves the exclusion of the ego. When you reach this state you forget about your status, other peoples perspective of you, life benefits, what you have done and where you are going. I guess it puts you in a state where you can easily understand that you are not some complex protagonist in a story but simply a being in this reality and a tiny point in time created by the big bang.
UltraGaivalas I wouldn't sell well in the market
***** When you get higher consciousness, reality really hits you.
***** it makes you able to love, in an aspect that love is independent from your ego. it also helps to stop judging other people including yourself. in the end we are all misirable beings tortured by our biology in this big pile of unknown. but in the end its still awsome:)
You can only reach this state trough suffering and evolution of yourself then you have to practice it don't let the stoners make u think this is something silly ,this is the key for whole humanity to evolve
Areté weed helps me meditate ignorant douche
I am a stoner and i suffer from AS daily. We stoners don't make anyone think this is silly. Rather the opposite.
Lmao triggered stoners
Big Rick you killed me
Higher mind.....hmm sweet.
Maby it's like levling up....
Higher self 3...4...5

The neocortex is active all the time. It's where mammals do all of their complex mental tasks and problem solving. We use it to read, type on a keyboard, and write sentences. It's not a special faculty of the brain that makes us empathetic or contemplative. Sure, when we imagine the world broadly like this, we do so with our neocortex, but this video makes it sound like we're literally accessing a different function of our brain, when it's really the same function applied differently.
It's a philosophical explanation of that "higher consciousness" the wise men praise using the available modern definitons, it's not a biology video. But yes, it's true that makes it seem that way. I guess using brain analogies was the most effective way they found to describe the mind.
diemcim Yeah, that "higher consciousness" stuff is just sophistry - metaphysical vagueness masquerading as "deeper truth." It's always been a bugbear of mine in my study of philosophy. And misrepresenting neuroscience in service of that pretentiousness is doubly annoying, since I aim to study neurophilosophy myself.
Taylor Bennett
Totally on point, and I wish they would have explained this better.
You walk every day, so you're always using your legs, and then there's squats...
Taylor Bennett He was just being poetic I guess.
+Taylor Bennett I'm guessing its similar to working out, like higher consciousness is akin to strong legs, you use your legs walking around, but you dont really WORK them until you do squats, run or do lunges. (i.e fully engaging the neocortex similar to a mental leg press ?)
When you reach the highest forms of consciousness. There is no room for ego. Which is what I’m seeing in a lot of these comments. Your ego is the cause of desire. You desire and therefore you suffer. Whether it be depression, anger, hatred. Drop the ego as much as you can. You won’t want things as much and thus fixing majority of the problems you face(in your mental/spiritual state). Live in the present moment. Be here now. Be content with who you are and what you have and be grateful. When doing so, you will live a happier and healthier life.
(Edit: You haven’t raised your consciousness high enough if you’re depressed or feel any emotions that the ego would define as negative. Anger, hatred, depression, Loneliness etc etc... get rid of the idea that the idea of what you desire will make you happy. That is temporary happiness. Find happiness in the moment. Detach from desires and detach from all things. Attachment leads to suffering.)
Oh found you again in the comments, and I agree again with you, this people are just thinking they are so intelligent and conscious because they think about existence and say that "being conscious is dangerous because it can lead to existencial crisis". Like that's the opposite of being conscious as explained in this video (which I'm not saying is universal truth)
Arizcun I’m part of a group known as the Awakening of Universal Love, a community dedicated to consciousness expansion
ego is the reptile brain, can't ger rid of that. Just repress yourself until it becomes an habit
But if nobody had an ego, wouldn't everybody just be the same??
StabbyMcBlade destroy the ego and a new one will form. Maintaining a healthy ego is the tricky part. Unless you dedicate yourself to becoming a monk of some sort. Then getting rid of the ego completely is nearly impossible but there are spiritual practices you can definitely do to keep your ego at bay and let your true self be in control of your thoughts and actions.
After years of having a "enlightenment mind" I became a outcast, depression skyrocketed like crazy, and finding a purpose in this meaningless world has become borderline impossible. I see too much and I feel too much... My advice would be to not rush to be the next Buddha or Solomon guys,because "in much wisdom is much grief, he who increases knowledge also increases sorrow." Ignorance is bliss so take your time... But maybe im trippin and its just me
Brayan Arellano it’s the scary truth. I’ve dropped acid about 4 times In the past month and being around my parents and others now is so wierd because I know they’re just living life on autopilot, only concerns are to work to make money, go home, watch tv, go to bed, repeat the cycle. It’s such a bland way of living. I want more than that
It really is, but at the same time I cant really blame people for choosing the more easy ignorant path because not everyone is mentally strong enough to go through the process of killing their ego, understanding that there is no "next step" after we die, and to healthily cope with the ugly systematic society that we have in place. Im 19 and ive already had 2 good friends of mine commit suicide going through this change. Being a rose growing in a muddy swamp surrounded by thorns is tough. Also, im glad to hear hope, that you want something more. So make it instead of searching for it because you wont find it. Also, id recommend to chill with acid for a bit before you start seeing through people and becoming way too woke without being able to fake the funk for the people that you love. Maybe do DMT once as your last expirience with drugs for at least 3 months, try to flourish as a sober mind who is always in control.
@@CameronSlaysTBE sorry im late guys im high and agree with this too like if yall are happy their are more people who are actually awake
Yeah if you're depressed and are struggling with meaning then you haven't been enlightened. The word you're looking for is existential crisis.
Then the truth is you aren't experiencing higher consciousness - you are just experiencing the world through a nihilistic perspective. You might be physically aware of your surroundings, but you aren't aware of yourself and you aren't aware of people, and most certainly aren't aware of God. Otherwise you would feel joy, not sorrow, and be madly in love with God.
I have a higher consciousness but little vocabulary. Wherefore, I cannot explain what I believe.
Me too. Locked treasure
then read my friend. study. You have the power to do something about it. :)
I lost my doubt through an amazing experience, if I could make that into one word that people would understand that'll be great(: So I just let em' know Jesus Christ Is key-
I' say try thinking how Christ probably thought walking amongst the same world we walked- That's the type of higher consciousness I want! Best believe God Is Coming
IamDabid sorry but Im not a Christian
To quote JC "Whoever studies the all yet fails to know thyself, misses everything"
I think high minded people get misunderstood. People want emotional reflection in others, and when a really smart person doesn't respond in the right way, he becomes a target.
Yea but as the narrator we should try to manage love each other thus far we have been horrible at that lol
Thank you Bing Soy, for bring me here and make me get in touch with my higher consciousness. It has been a long time....
such a niche topic, crazy
Higher consciousness is very real and it isn't short lived once you make the transformation. As a matter of fact, even if you could return to a lower, ego driven consciousness you wouldn't want to do it.
Oh, so it's basically like meth. okay thanks! that helped a lot with my misunderstanding
LSD brings me to my higher conciousness
more like exactly like lsd... not that i have tried meth though... i wouldn't be suprised if it brings you more in contact with the present moment
This guy gets it.
Strange how all the world's great minds can be found in UA-cam comment sections
this video is so hypnotic with that voice and the music omg
+peronvey i wish i could find the song somewhere
+Silver Nuke yes i was wondering where i could find this music
+Silver Nuke Song name is Darude Sandstorm.
Persiancat thanx dood
+Persiancat hahahahahaha no.
Higher consciousness doesn’t bring loneliness, that’s an illusion (lower consciousness). Higher consciousness makes you aware of being one with everyone and everything no matter if those “other” people see it that way or not. It should be a picture of the solar plexus or heart rather than brain. Consciousness doesn’t come from the brain alone, the brain is only part of it, it’s much more involved in thought, and thought is the biggest distraction of consciousness.
ahh that part 👌🏽👌🏽 very well said all though only few will understand ..makes sense why this comment only has 3 likes
Well my guy
sexy beast
@rͬaͣрⷬiͥdͩ eͤvͮoͦ thank you for sharing. i love that.
Bullshit.
I am from the UK and it is more relaxing to read and easier to understand these ancient book's teachings than hearing what this guy's voice
It makes you feel better knowing you’re not the only one that thinks this way
Dallas Trubey yes
not the only one
that's great
I definitely don’t believe we are on top of the food chain but I get what you’re saying
This channel is very underrated. You definitely deserve more views.
LEVI Q "very underrated" is a huge understatement!
John Smith true.
LEVI Q They'll get there.
As it stands, when you type "philosophy" into UA-cam's search bar, the first result is this channel. Not a bad stand, but I think not enough people are interested in philosophy.
Wish I could hire consciousness.
Nyuck - nyuck - he's here allllllll week folks . . .

Who's here because of Bing Soy?
I wish I could reverse it. I really miss the simpler days of less excruciating thoughts.... the complexity is maddening.
ShenaniKenZ I somehow completely get what you mean
@Chipmunk yeah .. maybe. We tend to think way more and live in the moment less than when we were young. Thinking too much is not good for you
@Alek Wolf right
It's all simple to the wise.
That's how you feel at the begining of seeking higher consciousness. Once you learn to control the mind and thoughts that's when you will truly feel bliss. The hardest part is letting go.
This video was exceptional. Great work guys, always very informative and entertaining. Certainly one of my favourite channels on UA-cam.
I damnly agree 👌👌👌👍
Hi motivation didn't expect u here!😅
Higher Conciousness =Awareness
When you live in a generation that can do most good but yet are self absorb in materialism you realized that something is crooked at the top of the political system
Maybe for those that have the most difficult life do so because of higher consciousness? They see things and feel things others can't.
I wouldn't say for all. But rather maybe those faced with the uncertainties and differences of life learn to things that matter more, often they already had
Yah because they need higher mind to survive in life
I'm often in higher consciousness; and i admit it doesn't work well in this day society. i don't regret it at all, but its difficult being alone in thought for so long. ^^
It is
in the long run, it is best to deal with processing your own emotions by yourself, you end up stronger,
Wow thought I was the only one
Hang in there bro
People of a higher consciousness don't brag about their higher consciousness on UA-cam, sorry bro
Part of me regrets diving deep into this when I was 14. I’m 19 now, and every second of my life feels complicated. All whilst my friends, who are my age, are out partying, drinking, doing drugs, turning their passions into a career by selling themselves to the public and just enjoying themselves. It’s satisfying knowing that I won’t be enslaved by the pointless goals and dreams most people chase after, but it hurts knowing that I can’t enjoy life as I used to as a kid because I can’t think of life to be that simple anymore. It causes me to worry about my future. Maybe I should shut off a part of my mind and just live life like the others since that’s how we, apparently, get ahead in this world and just turn that area of grey matter on every now and then when I have a lot of free time? I don’t know. If anyone else is experiencing this, I’d really appreciate your thoughts.
Dylan Binu Detachment also helps a lot. Research about them both and see how your perspective on your future changes
I got a plan. Is it weird that I can read a comment like this and feel what the original comments question was about? After reading this comment I felt that I was able to see and feel mentally what it felt like when you isolating your mind into thinking you are the only one that thinks this way while everyone else is just being driven by the auto pilot of “lower consciousness” I For one always feel this way until I literally speak my mind and show others that I can completely understand whatever emotion or obstacles they or me are going though, it feels almost satisfying when I can connect with a person the way I do and it feels affirming that I have connected with others the way “I” or “they” needed to be.
I got a plan. What I really mean is like from the video, my mind was in place of the original comment and once I read your comment it made me feel like you was speaking to me instead of that person, I honestly find myself always putting myself in a deep state of thought during or subconsciously after conflict or confrontation it’s a feeling like taking your existence and going into another’s place of existence for a short period of time but within that time you are being poured with emotions, values, morals, and different beliefs, I for one believe that and I felt happy to know that it was you speaking from a higher conscience
Dylan Binu yes I’m experiencing it, complexity is an interior construct of how you perceive, enjoy your life without wasting it,
I have been there and I wish you escaped thay state. You are trying to escape mental sufferinf by thinking about it, by seeking answers to what seem like your problems.
That's a fair place to be when you've problems but my advice would be, don't seek all the answers at once. Doing so will only tax your system.
Taking care of your worldy problems like having enough money o sustain yourself will give you a breather to seek more of the answers.
Everyone: giving their opinions about the video!
Me: staying perplexed even after watching number of times!!
After reading the comments in this video, I realized that I am not alone and that I should be grateful of the way I see life. Thank y'all♥️
Ever since I was little I knew I was smart but not school smart but I never want to explain my self theres to much to explain
Travis Salamat sane!
Travis Salamat same*
Yes and for me explaining myself is really hard i just cant find the words for it but i can feel it tho if only i could make people feel what i feel
Travis Salamat school smart is just how much you can remember and regurgitate, I know how you feel, school really isn’t a place for smart people
@@dreadmag6372 being socially smart and being able to explain yourself to other people with the importance of social setting is a skill you can learn in a school. Communication is important to being part of a society.
This is your best video yet but I have one huge disagreement. Accessing higher consciousness absolutely does help with practical matters. Only when I started tapping into higher consciousness more, did my practical abilities start to improve greatly. The key is to find the right balance between the practical and the spiritual and not be taken over completely by either.
even islam teaches to keep a balance between this world and that world.... check it out
@@SH-so4mt do you have any source for what you said? I’m muslim and sometimes the conflict between higher consciousness and lower consciousness does become confusing because of how this world is composed of distractions from real matters.
@@javieribrahim5850 we must not obey nor seek the ways of this world. But, instead focus on the laws of this whole universe.
Absolutely the same experience here too. It's improved all aspects of life.
I agree with this comment entirely
I believe that to evolve our species, we MUST strive for a constant state of higher consciousness.
This is by far the best video on youtube it always keeps me grounded and enables me to see other people's grievances as something they are combating from within. I do slip up from time to time and take certain throw away comments very deeply and make them personal especially if I've hit what I call "a wall" or a "lull" in that frame of mind I begin to blame others or I am defensive because I feel threatened for whatever reason. But, I know that it's short lived. And reminders like this video help me to see that there is more to the picture and that most of the time people aren't talking or thinking about me that much and that thing I may have spent all weekend beating myself up over was not met with as much pressure as I have a tendency to put on myself under. Much of these pressures come from ourselves which can have a domino effect down the line in our day to day run-in's with people so I'm trying to be that one domino that doesn't fall or falls but doesn't knock the next domino in line....does any of this makes sense? .....meh!
Amazing video, i am mostly always in higher consciousness but I feel 'annoying' when I try to spread this type of awareness to my crew. This is a great way to put it all, thanks!
3:30 no wonder I dropped out of university lol- being in higher consciousness makes doing essays you don't care about impossible xD
Ryan Morin you're not the only one
Environmental ecology, sustainability transition, geography, biology, I did two years dipping my toes into these areas. But I always just ended up getting stoned and playing video games way too much, because I needed to scapegoat from facing the fact I hated being at school and spending tens of thousands working towards a career I didn't wanna be stuck in. Wanna know what I am doing now that I dropped out?
Tell us please.
I am saving up a bit more money, than moving to Australia, for a year on a working holiday visa. I am going to pick fruit on farms, travelling to whatever is in season. This is especially awesome, because right now I am working a minimum wager almost full-time and it totally blows. In Australia minimum wage is $21 per hour in comparison to Ontario's $11.40. The value of the dollar is barely different, and you can avoid the increased cost of living if you do it hippy style. The whole drastic change has been kind of daunting, but it is pretty exciting that I am going on an adventure, and my path is now uncertain.
It's kinda sad that so many people think they've reached higher consciousness and be depressed at the same time. If you've truly reached hire consciousness, you would be almost unconditionally happy. Your intelligence would lead you to pursue healthier life habits like eating right & working out. This is because higher intellects see the bigger picture. Even though you're going to die one day anyways, you can make the best out of your life by taking care of your self and enjoying the little pleasures in life.
Seriously, your depression is a product of bad habits & not a product of "knowing a lot"
For example: Buddhist monks are known for their higher state of consciousness but do you see them being depressed? No. They seek enlightening because they now it exists and they active it through good habits.
This is because higher intellect individuals can see beyond their own selfish mortality & instead they see the bigger picture.
Take good care of myself = stronger me = stronger children = stronger future for humanity as a whole rather than stronger me atm.
Realize that you've been endowed with a massive responsibility. The weight of entire generation to come rests on how you live your life. You are responsible for an unimaginable amount of offsprings who will be just like you. Do you want them all to be depressed because everyone dies eventually, or do you want them to all seek higher intelligence and strengths, slowly creating the perfect breed of a human.
Choose your habits (good/bad) wisely. You have entire generations to be responsible for.
Charlie Vencroy very true!
True , well if you're still depressed after experiencing higher consciousness then you probably have no fkin idea what that term means
Not true, if you are in a state of higher consciousness, things that others enjoy and relate to, you do not, leaving you completely isolated and feeling unrelatable. depression is yes, the imbalance of chemicals in the brain but it can also be caused by the isolation and unrelatability to others or other things.
Amen!
I was thinking the same thing, if you're truly enlightened that you have found the balance between your higher self and your ego. Thus leading to a healthier relationship with life.
My brain when I took a bath more than 2 hours
Lmao 😂
LSD can help reach this state of mind. It strips you of your ego and makes you lose track of what existing means. From there you can look at this from the outside. Only downside is you can't remember jack from when you stop tripping.
people who need substances to elevate their consciousness have frail minds
someone living not really. It's just a short cut
yea not really. it can help you to get this higher consciousness faster for a few hours. i dont find this bad
Der Gerät exactly
I agree. It gives you a glimpse of that state is which can motivate you to reach it.
having a “higher consciousness” is not special and everyone has moments where they see the world for what it truly is and realize that the true pleasures in life are not in material/ physical things. The problem is that most people choose to push these ideas out of their heads and distract themselves from them because in order to be accepted in our society, one must strive to have these material items.
I do believe that these realizations should not make one lonely because everyone has them and most choose not to speak abt it. have faith in ppl. We could make a change:)
Do people also realize not to harm other sentient beings after understanding the higher consciousness?
@@Billy_Dali I believe so. I have since turned vegetarian in the past 8/9 months. I feel much more connected with everything now :) Its beautiful.
I totally disagree, many many MANY people simply don't give a shit about things like this, and wouldn't even give it a thought, let alone a second thought 👍
Youre projecting...most people dont think aboutbthese things... The burden of them would even make the fool change his ways
Bernd DasBrot wouldn’t say it was a placebo, it’s more the idea that I am aligning more with the person that I want to be 🤷🏻♂️ I think it’s important to look after the other beings here with us, and I love animals so it brings me happiness knowing that I am getting closer to the end goal. No need for the negativity
Sounds a lot like being on shrooms.
Haha, I really wasn't even joking. Do some research about the effects of psilocybin, it causes a state very similar to what you describe in this video.
survivurman The actual "Enlightened" state in Buddhist and other Ancient Philosophies are lot different. The absolute awareness is not a mental state, thus it is not transient or time bound like it is described in the video.
However this true state of reality is realized when the mind is still and motionless, hence where meditation comes in. Attachments must be broken and desires crippled. The Absolute Awareness which exists beyond all layers of reality, beyond experience, beyond time, and all attributes. The birthless, thus the deathless. Emptiness is its very nature.
Phanteus I'm not saying I reached "enlightenment" or a higher state of consciousness, but you describe almost perfectly how I felt under the influence of LSD. At first, I felt as though everything was an illusion. This frightened me terribly. My family, friends, tv set, even the very couch I was sitting on did not feel real. Everything was a manifestation from my own imagination. I thought I had died. I began to think about Buddhism and the very few things I had read about it over the years. Then something clicked. It was like someone or something was uploading information into my mind. All the Buddhist teachings made perfect sense. I had instant access to thousands of years of Buddhist knowledge, but it was not like reading through books or looking it up using an internet search engine. I "felt" the knowledge. I felt the wisdom and power of that knowledge. An instant rush of energy, almost electric, coursed through my veins. I began to make weird movements with my hands and body. Movements that I had never practiced before, but it all felt so natural and empowering. Similar to tai chi I assume. After a while of doing that, I sat down and stared at an empty wall. Everything around me was tingling. All the objects around me began to dissipate. Imagine sand trickling down in an hourglass. That's what was happening to everything around me. I was not thinking this, it was just happening. A feeling of peace overcame my entire being. I became that tremendous feeling of peace. My mind no longer was. I was not thinking about myself or anything from this earth. No thoughts at all. Just eternal bliss. And I do mean eternal. Time did not exist at that moment. I do not even recall how long it lasted. Could have been several minutes or a few seconds. I couldn't tell you. I was not concerned about time. Shoot, I did not even exist. I just was. In that moment, I understood the concept of an eternity. There is no beginning, there is no end, it just is. Slowly, but surely I slipped back into reality. I have to say that is the most beautiful moment of my life thus far. Inside of my friend's cruddy apartment, I experienced what I could only describe as pure ecstasy.
Then, i must be on shrooms every night.

Ah okay Bing Soy I am kinda getting it now.
Umm... first video I have to disagree with. The 'rational' state of higher consciousness is a wonderful one, yes, but that doesn't mean it is the same thing that the mystics talk of.
Not having direct personal experience doesn't mean that true, 'spiritual' higher consciousness doesn't exist.
+Richard S. I agree. It was all too "in the brain", and although many interesting things were said, It seems to depart from a materialistic point of view... "it's all brain stuff", lower or higher states of consciousness. Well, that is just a metaphysical assumption, and as such it's important to point out that this is just the philosophy of materialism, which has other names and variants, such as naturalism, realism.
+Richard S. You're at the wrong place then, the people who work at school of life are, most likely, all atheists or agnostics.
+Joshua Bechhoefer There is no wrong place for people on the internet...
If you're expecting something from somewhere that won't provide it, you're in the wrong place. The deep web is another wrong place for people on the internet, as an extreme example.
just my opinion
I slipped into higher consciousness for a few moments watching this video
This video is a modern skeptic and materialistic western man's idea of what spiritualism is. Unfortunately it can only be experienced, not explained.
It makes me see through all the lies and know my true potential. Our true potential everyone between 18-35 if we all connect on social media we can share resources and build a greater system than the one currently in place. It's fucking beautiful.
But everyone just focuses on the negative shit I say instead of the empowering shit because they still are thinking with their lower selves.
@@UnamusedAHole everyone on social media worked together to make an egg the most liked picture on Instagram😂 what a world we live in
Altruism.
Crafting one self to shed love and light on the lives of others.
To selflessly give oneself to the struggles of others.
Yes. I experienced this and I wasn't even meditating. Reality hits me from no where.
Bing soy's higher consciousness is insane
Im not sure if my experience can be considered i was in "high consciousness" but well, sometimes, mostly in the night when im in my bed ready to sleep and start listening a beautiful piece of music a load of happiness and peace travels through my body, from the feet to my head and viceversa. I start to see beauty in everything, in the dark of my room, in the light coming from the window, in my parents and sister next door, then i go beyond, i have this sensation of indirect accomplishment where im glad the human race exists and the interaction between them is possible, the relationships that determine a society, be in the smallest term like a family to a bigger one like a city. And i feel like i have no body anymore, like the material is just a shade produce by the living, by the unknown but highly intelligent forces that created us in such a detailed way. This "state" is so beautiful because nothing can affect you in a bad way, you cant be sad or angry, is just you in contact with the beauty itself, with the flow. I have problems (college, girlfriend, family, etc) but in that single moment everything is gone and i just see happiness in all this that have been developing since the first men or since i was born, i see every person as a whole universe, which when you think about is amazing, imagine the rich amount of experiences that have been possible with the interaction other people. It feels never ending, ever lasting, like this wil always be there, the human conciousness.
uhh, no. That sounds like you were feeling very thankful and happy that everyone and everything exists. You must remove your focus from yourself and imagine yourself outside of your body as a spirit floating around, but still aware of how you feel and what you think. Then you would have to observe and take in as much information from the world around you as you can and then see the world in the most understanding way as possible. Observe and piece together the information you observe to understand what's going on and by doing this, you'll distract yourself from your own existence.. (I may not have explained that properly). What makes this easier is to become at piece with everything around you before you do anything.
This type of experience is a lot like being on drugs actually. Just without the drugs.

What a way to take away someone's sincere expression of an experience
Telling him what he has to do or what he aut to do - to get it right. Let people experience their own experiences
The musical brain .... and a sense of peace
I agreed with him up to the end. He states higher Consciousness is something you should not try to hold on to, I disagree. Once you have a higher conscience you cannot then return to lower conscience that makes no sense.
That's why meditation during early hours is encouraged by so many. That helps shape your brain to make changes more permanent.
Thank You
i was thinking the same thing and i agree with you. of course you must also tend to the practicality of life. but a higher consciousness doesn' t necesarily has to mean that you neglect what needs to be done.
absolutely
Attachment is the antithesis of what brings somebody to a higher state of consciousness in the first place.
Great video!
I'm surprised you haven't made one on Aldous Huxley O:
Man, this is one of the most beautiful video that I ever watched....
This awareness makes you feel so alone and makes you question everything and everything seems like an illusion used to control
Not an issue if u an introvert.. holographic universe theory?
@@spectacular7990 not quite for me more of just how people seem to be turned into these religion following, consumer robots as their being brought up. I do belive that religion is strongly meant to keep the masses in control
@@landong5742 yes, abolish the current religion and smart idiots will make another for the regular idiots to follow (like 3ed wave feminism). Systems of power are just a means to control the masses, your culturerul upbringing will determine how you morally view these systems. Not every system is "bad". Just compare the development of the western (heavily built on a christian foundation) with the Arabian (still mostly unreformed Islamic foundation) systems.. and you catch my drift (I'm more agnostic).
I do have my own bias, something I try to regulate but no one is immune to propaganda.
The more you know the more you will see.
Landon g then you are not aware. When you become aware you understand you are nothing even close to alone. You are one with everything. The ego thinks of what it wants and has not. This is a constant preoccupation. The soul is aware of what it is given and lives in endless gratitude. Stop thinking with ego yo.
@@thrasherfoo you are the only person I have seen in the comments that has understood the video. Everyone is talking about how conscious they are because they feel like their existence is nothing, and that's literally what in the video was explained as lower consciousness. Probably no one of the millions of viewers in the video is able to understand what consciousness is, but as they have so much ego, they think that they do understand and say that their "different" and "special" thoughts (that in reality everyone on Earth has) about existence and its meaning, is really being conscious.
It would be really cool if you could credit the music used in your videos which are amazing. Or upload the music somewhere.

im here because of bing soy
anybody else feel like they are in that state of mind pretty much all the time?
this happened to me after i had 2 bad acid trips (300ug both times) and then i did shrooms and completely lost any sort of earth-like consciousness. it was like time and reality dissolved and i was spiraling into this abyss of truth. i felt something- almost like a god or something. definitely a higher consciousness. i was terrified. when i came back to reality i subconsciously made the choice to become a better person. my old ego truly disgusts me now. crazy how psychedelics have the capability of something this powerful.
I had the same expiricen, except I got stuck on a bad paranoia trip for 7 months.. thoes 7 months seemd like hell but at the same time I felt enlighted.. IT showed me the harsh reality of humans selfish delusinal ways.. I havnt been the same since then .
Wow Good to here fellow human😆
What does everyone mean by acid?
Ego death baby. Welcome back
damn I need to try psychedelics right now
I love the music, it compliments the topic well. It gives it an out of this world feel

"Usually people talk about touchy feelly things about higher consciousness" =>>> " it's about love and empathy"
Nice
To me it comes and goes. But recently i experienced health problems and i feel as though its going to stick this time. I dont care much for materials but only for my health, family, friends and happiness.
Fuck, I'm lost once again in a sea of doubt. Why did you do this to me
explain what you mean
He's in a trip
take it as an advantage
Just putting ego aside being more empathetic can help you achieve great things, once you overcome that you will realise you are communicating efficiently, investing time to understand others will help understand yourself or maybe we can find answers for ourselves and be prepared for similar situation which could happen in future, we are social being and we will always be so, it doesn't matter how high your consciousness goes, we need to tell our self "I have yet to learn a lot" and the only way I can learn more is by communicating with People around the world. We live in a world where we are told what to do and what not to do since birth, it is important, with out that guidance maybe we won't survive. But, once we reach an age and we are experienced enough to change our self for the better, We should not resist, you will always feel things might not end up the way we want, you will never know unless you do it. All you need be is confident and have some faith in yourselve. ✌️
who else is here thanks to bing soy?🐵

This is why I cannot work 9 to 5. My higher consciousness won't allow it.

I get chills through my body everytime I watch this video.
same, especially with the floating brains.
Yan Enn that music getting louder did it to me
Yan Enn Then you've only just begun. You get chills because your ego is romantacizing the idea, or rather what your ego wants the idea to be and mean for itself. "A new level of I'm more special than everyone else". Actually achieving higher levels of consciousness means leaving your ego behind.
I hope this is helpful.

Kenny Rodger that is very trippy lolll
Kenny Rodger happiest ive ever been was when i did this, let my ego, lasted for about a month, Alan Watts is great for this process, i wish it lasted longer, i think it ended cuz the ego began taking credit for the happiness..
People talking about depression and sorrow, but I experience it in a different way. For me it is a freedom. Freedom from peer pressure, from not so clever things I used to do normally and in a consequence freedom from myself. Clear mind that makes me focus on something I need in my life. I can see real purpose of things that occur with me. Now I am forgiving others, understanding what they are feeling. Life appeared in more philosophical way, when I felt my misery when I put all of my arrogance away and Now I am on my way to have big changes in my life, cause I never feel such certainty that I am doing right things for me. I never made such an evaluation of things in my life that I am doing now. I would tell you one thing for sure, it is better to be in a truthful but painful world then in a dream where you are a fool by your decision.
Great vid. If anyone genuinely wants a crack at reaching higher states, I suggest you truly set a strong intention first. Then, meditation, reading (Start with Power vs Force by David Hawkins), prayer..... practising LOVING others all help. And Check out the woke as f**k podcast, it's legit. ;)
Thank you so much for the suggestion, I listened to Woke AF and LOVED it! I keep crossing paths with people who’ve explain bits of this concept to me and I’m so glad I read your comment because I really want to learn more.

I am from Myanmar and it is hard to witness millions suffering because of "mind-problems" of some greedy dictators.
GREAT explanation!!!! I'm so used to just being told "It's a oneness" as the most precise thing anyone can tell me about higher consciousness. But this makes a complete (sounding) and understandable description of what higher consciousness is.
I'm also glad to see that it seems much more attainable and less mystical than I'm used to thinking about it.
Thank you
I agree, _great_ explanation!
this is surprisingly really good, it's been a while since i've seen a well structured informative video on youtube
One video that goes wiht this one is LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY, for me to finally reach high consciousness I have to experiment multiple suicidal thoughts and depression but at the end of that I felt an inexplicable relief, youre breathing and living right now there's nothing you have to achieve or prove others or you thats the part when you look at the sky and see it different because youre simply living right now.
From selfobservation I found out, that achieving a higher state of consciosness requires a lot of spare time, boredom and satisfied basic needs. That might explain why everyone seems so mindless these days, since our lifes are totally occupied by our jobs and the struggle to "survive" in society. There simply isn't any time to just sit there and think if you're exhausted from 8-10 hours of work and the fridge is empty.
The Gurus really mean what the Gurus really say. If you do not understand you do not understand.
Interesting distinction: higher consciousness is marked by the realization that people's wrongdoings are an attribute to their own personal suffering rather than them being "bad" or focusing on how it makes you feel. I would suspect however that there are vast levels of consciousness that would be considered "higher consciousness". From momentary profound insights into the human condition or the nature of the universe - to Christ consciousness and Buddhahood.
Honestly, stop trying
@@ahhwe-any7434 Why?
Higher Consciousness is just delusion - people believing their own imagination
So you just explained compassion.. yes we have that . But higher consciousness to me being able to see the light and sounds in a living communicative way. Not only are we just humans and we make decisions based on our emotions but there are also a few worlds out there that we cannot see or understand until we reach higher consciousness

In normal conciousness, one sees the world from standing on ground perspective whereas in higher conciousness you see the world from a top view perspective(as if you're looking down while floating above the world). You see the whole picture. You realize everything. You find all your answers.

@bingsoy I’m so scared
I would describe it as one's capability of grasping the universe's simplicity despite its complexity and its enigmatic origin
The thing is, we can only guess what "higher consciousness" is. Mainly because it cannot be measured. If there's an apple laying in front of you, you can prove it's there by walking up to it, seeing it, picking it up and feeling it, and smelling it. Higher consciousness cannot be measured and most likely never will be. It's just one of those things that we cannot explain. Maybe it's all an illusion, or maybe when we rise into higher consciousness, we begin to see things how they actually are.
niknatural by this comment I feel that all of that writing was just for you to tell everyone that the only way to realize higher conscience is when you start realizing the world is not how we (the awakens) thought it was, partly imposed by what we (the awakens) believe is 90% of the population
you can't measured a love of a mother for her child but that doesnt mean its not there or that it is an illusion
niknatural so something doesn't exist unless it is physical and can be measure relative to something else physica?makes ssnse
Evil Genius unless of course we are seeing all there is
Evil Genius well either the nature of things is physical or it is consisusness. In either model what appears is made of consciousness. Thus I suppose we have to understand the nature of consisusness itself. Either way there cannot be a perception.
Eckhart Tolle always speaks about making the higher consciousness PERMANENT and I understand that buddhism has the same goal. Why do you declare in this video that it should not be permanent?
Because he isn’t enlightened so sees it from a False perspective..
Higher Consciousness is just delusion - people believing their own imagination

To everybody who regrets the knowledge they’ve gained , you must not see this as a curse but a blessing , you are being haunted by the fact that you can’t let go of your past self (life) and grab these new values and perceptions , you must outgrow your skin like a snake and be the change you wish to see in the world , I still strive for money not because of greed or malice but because I want to free my friends and family from work , and at the end of the day no matter how it was, you must remember that you’re still alive and life doesn’t stop for you and it never has , we’ve always known the things we’ve found out we just never put it into perspective , look at your future and dreams the same way and you shall live blessed 💯

I was in a liminal state during a nap, and remembered this video 5 years later. It was a state that felt so free. It reminded me of a pure flow state. I wonder if its the same neuroanatomy, that the DLPFC or inner/social-critic hasn't come online yet. It felt like how i've heard many describe as having a transcendent universal love experience on ecstacy, or in mdma therapy.
I think like this all the time.. I think about the universe, the world, people, love and feelings. I love having Conscious conversations about these type of things because I truly believe with enough focus, you can unlock a “higher consciousness” but most people don’t want to talk about that kind of stuff. I hate being around people who have a “lower conciseness” I feel like I have to dumb myself down.. so I stay alone.
