I did lsd a few years back when I was 21 and I had just gotten out of the Air Force, and I experienced ego death and I never was the same after that. But In a good way you have to be in a good head space going in and give in to letting go, it was so freeing for me at least.
Listening to this and going to sleep to this channel for years. They’ve just been reposting the same content more or less with a very interesting videos playing in the background to give you this existential feeling while tuning in.
I do lawn care in busy parts of town. I found when I wear an orange vest I almost get hit by cars more often. It's like I draw their attention, and they steer where they look. When I don't wear the vest, I hardly notice any problems.
Orange is the color of safety cones and they always get ran over so it's like dressing up as a cone, so we wear high vis green and we haven't had any problems since. Something in our mind makes the connection.
@@vegelitoit’s true. very similar concept to riding a motorcycle. the bike follows where you look. that’s why you see so many new riders ride off the side of the road or into gaurd rails. you become hyper focused on where you’re not trying to go, that you actually end up going there. so if someone’s driving. very similar concept. they can become hyper focused on what they’re trying to avoid that they end up unconsciously getting closer to said target
I started to lucid dream almost every night, 3 years after my mother passed away. I started seeing her in my dreams and I’d wake up and regret not giving her a hug and telling her I loved her. It seemed like my unconscious brain didn’t know she was passed and so I wouldn’t appreciate the time spent with her. Finally I realized I was dreaming and gave her a hug and was so excited it woke me up. Then about 3 dreams after this I would calm myself in the dream, I would tell her hold on I don’t want to get too excited or I’ll wake up. I got to hug her and tell her I loved her so much. She was so identifiable in the dreams. So beautiful so disgusted in her beauty. I now dream often of her. I asked her recently, what is this? These were dreams that the closest word that comes into comparison is heaven. But the word doesn’t match the beauty that these dreams involved with her could ever describe. I asked if she was okay and asked what we were experiencing and she responded “happiness”. And it was. Colors unseen to the human eye. Vividness over exceeding physical reality. She creates her own heaven every night she visits me and it truly is pure bliss. I know there is an afterlife and I hope tonight she reveals more. If you are missing someone, have faith you can connect with them and if it doesn’t go how you want the first time try again. My dreams have become my most cherished moments and I look forward to spending more time with her. I also lost my best friend back in August of this year. I had a dream I was watching him hunt from a third person perspective and the mountains and terrain were unreal. And it was truly pure bliss and happiness and I got a glimpse of what his heaven consisted of in his moment of time. So beautiful. Love you all. I hope this helps someone obtain the faith to see outside of our own consciousness and are able to see and experience a sense of closure that is more beautiful than experiencing life itself. Don’t give up ❤
Please update me on what she reveals. If there is a God and if so, who is it? Why do we always chase this feeling of 'happiness'? What is the point of existing? I want to know what your loved one who passed away knows about these questions.
@ last night I had a dream that I watched a man drink himself to death and on the bottle it said “dad”. He choked on his own puke but I only watched him die but didn’t stop him because I had a sense of feeling that it was his time to go. And my aware self would have stopped him. But in my dream my mother was is her angelic form sitting with her hands holding her knees looking at her shoe’s saddened and I woke up very upset I don’t know what the dream meant but I will keep you updated. 🩶
Thanks for your honesty and telling her to hold on or you’ll get too excited and wake up is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard in a long time. Hope you get plenty more visits and blessings in abundance🙏
@@OmegaOracle010Bro yes, God is real. if you listen to enough testimonys of faith on UA-cam you’ll probably see what I mean. There’s many people who’s souls leave their body , God takes them to visit heaven and hell briefly , and many are saved by god and brought back into existence to spread his Words and name . Jesus is King of kings , Lord of lords . and He will come back to save us one day.🙏amen
When I ask myself, who is me, or what is me, the thought that pops into my conscious awareness is: you are the thing that experiences. What I know is what my unconscious offers up to my awareness of memories. I don’t go into a cabinet inside my brain to remember things. I just say to myself, “I want to remember what I did yesterday” and then I wait for images or times of reference to enter my awareness. Question: where does it enter from? From the unknown. It is like a lightbulb: “aha.. I remember this”, but who gave me the memory to feel it again, because I wasn’t looking for it; I was just waiting around until it flickered on inside my mind as a image that I saw previously with my own eyes. I was recently playing music while drifting to sleep. I could not notice the moment the sound cut off in my ears and only noticed that it did after I stirred awake slightly and realized my awareness is back. The music was still playing as I am now aware again, but just before I couldn’t ear it. The thing that experiences sounds was not aware of the sounds. When I dream, I can experience it. And when I wake up, I remember that I dreamt but can’t remember what. But sometimes I will suddenly remember it, though I didn’t ask for the memory to enter my awareness, it just did and I feel that feeling of recognition.
Same. Gotta love that feeling of when once something has been requested and once the idea has been released and one accepts to wait for the answer it comes back around and MAKES you acknowledge the connection and your just like"oh that's what answer we were looking for earlier,(that's what that means or is for) Thank you!" Haha ...0h life 🫠🙃
The Law of One, also known as the Ra Material, describes consciousness as the fundamental essence of existence. According to this philosophy, all things are one, and this unity is expressed through infinite intelligence or consciousness. Here are key points about consciousness from the Law of One: 1. Consciousness as Unity: Consciousness is the basis of all creation. Everything in existence-be it material, spiritual, or mental-is a manifestation of one infinite consciousness, often referred to as the "Creator" or "One Infinite Creator." 2. Hierarchy of Consciousness: The universe is structured in densities, or levels of consciousness. These range from basic awareness in the first density (elements like earth, water, fire, and air) to the unified understanding of seventh density, where beings merge back with the Creator. 3. Evolution of Consciousness: All entities evolve through these densities, gaining awareness and understanding of their unity with the Creator. Human consciousness typically exists in the third density, which focuses on self-awareness and the choice between service to others or service to self. 4. Infinite Intelligence: Consciousness is described as infinite intelligence, capable of infinite creativity and self-expression. This intelligence permeates all levels of existence, from the smallest particle to the grandest galaxy. 5. Individual and Collective: Consciousness is both individual and collective. While each being has a unique perspective, all are inherently connected, reflecting the oneness of the Creator. 6. Free Will: Consciousness has the freedom to explore, learn, and make choices. This free will is considered sacred and essential for growth and the eventual return to unity. The Reciprocal System of Physical Theory (RS2), an extension and refinement of Dewey B. Larson's Reciprocal System (RS), focuses primarily on the nature of physical and metaphysical systems. While it doesn't explicitly center on "consciousness" in the way spiritual or philosophical frameworks like the Law of One do, it offers some intriguing implications about the role of consciousness in reality: 1. Consciousness as a Fundamental Aspect of Reality: RS2 views the universe as a reciprocal interaction between space and time, where neither is primary. This framework implies that consciousness might arise naturally as a fundamental property of the reciprocal relationship, bridging physical (space-time) and metaphysical (time-space) realms. 2. Dual Nature of Reality: In RS2, the metaphysical realm (time-space) is seen as complementary to the physical realm (space-time). Consciousness could be understood as a phenomenon that operates in and connects both realms, enabling perception, thought, and experience. 3. Individual Units of Consciousness: RS2 recognizes individual entities (e.g., people, organisms) as "units of motion," suggesting that consciousness is intrinsic to these units. Consciousness might emerge as the ability of these units to experience and influence both physical and metaphysical motion. 4. Evolution and Interaction: RS2 implies an evolutionary process where entities gain complexity and awareness as they move through the physical and metaphysical systems. This perspective aligns with the idea that consciousness evolves as part of the universal progression. 5. Interconnectedness: Since RS2 describes a unified structure of space-time and time-space, it suggests a universal interconnectedness. Consciousness might act as the medium through which individual units perceive and interact with this interconnected system. In summary, while RS2 doesn't explicitly define consciousness, it frames it as an emergent, reciprocal phenomenon integral to the fabric of reality, operating at the intersection of space-time and time-space. I don't know if any of this stuff explains consciousness but I prefer this explanation to "who am I" over any I've been able to come up with from inside my own head lol
i like this a lot-to be bigger than the self. you are everyone and everyone is you. so you gotta be kind and forgive yourself, and everyone else as interchangeable variables
I always know when I'm asleep, and I can always control myself in the dream, I realized that I could do this willingly and I could wake myself up when I was running the usual "get to the thing" dream where someone sent me to go somewhere and get something... and I ran by my dad who had died a few years earlier, and I stopped and sat with him to talk instead of continuing the quest. ☕🐝🇺🇸
An easy way to do reality checks is to count the amount of fingers you have on your hand. In a dream, at first glance, they look normal. However, when you really take a moment to count your fingers, you'll realise there is unsettlingly an extra finger or a missing finger. the fear can sometimes jolt me awake, but you'll be able to stay asleep after a while. The way to invoke this method is to count your fingers throughout the day, especially when something unusual happens (it works best if you set a reminder on your phone so that whenever you look at it, you can remember to count your fingers and then eventually remember to do it randomly throughout the day). the reason for this, I read somewhere, is that your hands and feet are the furthest from your body, so your subconscious essentially doesn't take the time to get to know them thoroughly. DISCLAIMER: I do not recommend lucid dreaming for someone who suffers from sleep paralysis as sometimes when becoming aware, you wake yourself up, but not well enough to be fully awake and end up in a sleep paralysis episode (speaking from experience). Hope this helps any non-lucid dreamers who want to partake in it.
The commentary on love was very well done and all young people should learn about it. I appreciated the examples taken from your own experience in the commentary on humor
Whenever I hear the assertion "you can't prove other people are thinking," or an argument for solipsism I think about beautiful music or really smart statements made by people far more intelligent than I am. I know that cannot possibly come from MY head. There is no question in my mind that there are other brilliant, capable minds out there.
if you ever try psychedelics, youd be amazed what your subconscious mind can create all by itself. if our minds can make the things we see and experience from DMT, it can make the whole universe. that's part of the reason why most of the people who wonder about, or believe in the possibility of solipsism are people who have used psychedelics
@@ArminiusAurusthis almost sounds like a pseudo-intellectual trying to string together something that sounds brilliant in their mind. As inconsequential as the comment may be, how do you leave a grammatical error that obvious? I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't think your comment was written by someone who likes to argue with people just hear themselves. I would feel absolutely awful if it turned out you were the most humble gentleman in the comment section, but I just don't know how likely that is. All jokes aside, just be yourself. No one cares how smart you are unless that person is a queef sniffing tool. I would choose an ( not a 😉) authentic person over a person I thought was smart but not being themselves.

@@erikpeterson70 Indeed. For those who've had the experience of finding oneself in a moment stretched in time, where the Universe briefly pauses on you, and you only, just long enough for it all to make sense, everything, everywhere, all at once. I need to make that journey again, my stitching has worn thin.
ego death is experiencing the death of who you thought you were, psychedelics like magic mushrooms are a good way to experience ego death and in many cases it renews you as a person, you can even come out with a new set of moral values
8:41 when I was younger I ate a shitload of mushrooms (10-14g) and at some point during peak hours, I recorded a video to myself. I remember that i could feel the whole world breathing in synchronicity with me. I started crying and felt an overwhelming sense of peace. Then I said that whenever the idea of dying scares me or makes me feel like there is no point to anything bc... anyways, I said that when we die, our "soul" or the spark that animates the vessels we call our body will return to the great cosmic energy we could feel breathing with and around us. And so it wasn't that scary
@@IssacKanio8008acid cured my fear of death entirely. Before it, I frequently experienced existential dread over the idea of an afterlife. I wondered how heaven could be heavenly if it involved being conscious for an eternity. At the peak of one of my trips, I experienced a complete ego death. I couldn’t tell where I ended and the rest of the universe began. I couldn’t remember a single detail about “myself”: my name, where I was, what I liked and disliked, none of it. Time lost all meaning and I genuinely couldn’t think about the future or the past, only the very present moment. That experience made me realize that “heaven” is possible and it’s achieved by being fully present. When you remove the context of your being, it’s true bliss.
Our universe is inherently dualistic. Everything exists on a spectrum between polarities: hot and cold, light or dark, big or small, thing one and thing two. The elemental friction of these polarities is like light passing through a prism, creating the myriad of things. I think dying is just a return to singularity where there is no separation. There is no future, there is no past, there just is. The Buddhists were 100% onto something with the idea of the middle way. Balancing between the polarities in our waking life to simulate the oneness of non-existence.
I USED TO listen to Aperture ALMOST every night before bed. HOWEVER, I need a channel like this with ZERO rolling ads. It was a good night's rest for a couple years, however........

one time I had randomly realized I was in a dream and got all exictee because of the "lucid dreaming" thing before immediately being waken up by my Mum for school.
This kid is intelligent, putting proper words behind what is a thought, or a voice to the brain, that is understandable and relatable, with facts, scientific or unspoken, is only achieved with an understanding of a broader picture of life than the one we are personally a part of, this kid has a future some where in the upper echelon of medicine, psychology, and society

I was in a similar situation and a friend introduced me to The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruis. Easy read and worth it for me. I invest an afternoon to reread it every few months.
I have been lucid dreaming for the last 9 years. I started working with the Datura/Jimsonweed plant 9 years ago. It takes me to a lucid dream state depending on how i ingest it. The tea is my choice. The tincture is others choice.
Does all tea work? I can lucid dream but something "in" the dream doesent want me to, I've been trying to talk to "it" again since I need answers, if tea helps that would be cool
There’s been about 3 different instances in my 29 years of life. That I’m dreaming of a pot on a shelve and this pot gets knocked over and I’m watching it fall. And right before it hits the ground, I wake up to a glass or plate being dropped in real life, I grew up sleeping in the couch so kitchen was a hear shot away. I just don’t understand how this is even possible, the only explanation is that my brain has already perceived the noise and created this depiction “dream” that gives the illusion that both happened at the exact same time. Idk I often have lucid dreams but I have zero control over it, I can’t make anything appear all I do is tell everyone in my dream that I’m dreaming. I also have sleep paralysis on a weekly basis, it’s a little annoying.
I have tested and finally have a relative answer to something like that: the brain should be able to take slight noises that the conscious person (you) can't hear, and it understands that if something is going to happen it wakes you up, knowing even before it happens, I also have had sleep paralysis, it was easy for me to overtake but I don't know for others, depending on the type of things you see, I found out anger usually works aganced dreams, being annoyed enough to actualy break the dream, the part of your mind being overexeeted and forcing it to wake you up, in other types of dreams, simply taking a deep breath and then trying to make a popping sound with your mouth works, if you can't breath, move your eyes around, it confuses your equilibrium and does that thing were you feel like your falling for a second but then you catch yourself :P sleep well m8
@@Thescratched20 Yeah, i like that explanation close to what i was thinking. and it makes sense that our ancestor would need to have developed a strong ability like this to even stand a chance of survival. I can picture one of our ancestors deep sleep and a twig breaks and they rise up like the undertaker and stare down the thing that though could sneak up on them. Just us tapping into something that was once lost. Also for the sleep paralysis, i stopped opening my eyes, i hear all the things but i dont open them anymore. To get out of them, well i always had this bad habit of shaking my leg to fall asleep, and i found out that when in a sleep paralysis i can shake my leg through the paralysis. It feels weird, because in the paralysis its not moving but i feel my leg moving, it and odd feeling for sure but after a few second of shaking my leg i am out of it
I tried the reality check last night but because I hadn't practiced beforehand i thought my dream was real. 😅 only until I woke up I realized it was a dream and I COULD have done the thing I wont do in my waking life

Spiritual alchemy often involves a process that can be likened to ego death, but the concept is more nuanced and symbolic within this framework. Spiritual alchemy, rooted in esoteric traditions, seeks to transform the self through inner work, using the metaphor of turning base metals into gold. This "gold" represents spiritual enlightenment or wholeness, which requires transcending the ego's limitations. Ego Death in Spiritual Alchemy 1. The Nigredo Stage (Dissolution and Death): Symbolism: The nigredo phase, or "blackening," is often described as a process of breaking down the ego. It symbolizes a period of confusion, darkness, or existential crisis where old patterns, attachments, and false identities are dissolved. Connection to Ego Death: This stage mirrors the concept of ego death, where the conscious identity or attachment to the ego's dominance must "die" to make way for spiritual renewal. 2. The Albedo Stage (Purification): Symbolism: The albedo, or "whitening," follows the nigredo and represents purification and the emergence of clarity. Here, the individual begins to see beyond the ego and integrate higher truths. Ego in Balance: The ego is not destroyed but purified and reoriented to align with the higher self or soul. 3. The Rubedo Stage (Integration and Wholeness): Symbolism: The rubedo, or "reddening," is the culmination of the alchemical process, symbolizing enlightenment and unity with the divine. The ego is now integrated into a greater awareness, serving as a harmonious part of the whole rather than the center of identity. Transcendence: At this stage, the ego's transformation is complete, and the individual experiences unity with the Self or the divine essence. How Ego Death Fits In Death as Transformation: Ego death in spiritual alchemy is not about annihilation but about transformation. The ego "dies" in its rigid, self-centered form and is reborn in service to the greater whole. Union of Opposites: Alchemy emphasizes the reconciliation of opposites (e.g., material and spiritual, conscious and unconscious). Ego death allows this union by removing barriers imposed by the ego's narrow focus. Path to Enlightenment: Just as base metals are refined to gold, the ego must be refined through a process of surrender, realization, and integration to achieve spiritual enlightenment. Similarities to Jung's Perspective Carl Jung was deeply influenced by alchemical symbolism and incorporated its concepts into his psychology. For Jung, the alchemical process closely mirrors individuation, where the ego undergoes transformation and integrates with the unconscious, culminating in the realization of the Self. Both frameworks view ego death as part of a broader journey toward wholeness, rather than an endpoint. Summary Spiritual alchemy involves ego death as a metaphorical process of breaking down the false, limited self to uncover and integrate a higher, more authentic essence. This mirrors the transformative aspects of many spiritual traditions, emphasizing renewal, growth, and ultimate unity. The crucifixion of Christ can be interpreted as a metaphor for ego death and transformation, especially within mystical, psychological, or symbolic frameworks. The story of Jesus' crucifixion, death, and resurrection mirrors many archetypal themes of spiritual transformation, where the individual undergoes a profound inner death to be reborn into a higher state of consciousness or unity with the divine. Key Symbolic Parallels: 1. Surrender and Ego Death: The Crucifixion: Jesus' willing surrender to death can symbolize the ego's relinquishment of control, pride, and attachment to the material world. It represents a profound act of letting go. Ego Death: In spiritual or psychological terms, ego death is the dissolution of the limited self, often experienced as a painful but necessary step toward transcendence. 2. Dark Night of the Soul: Jesus' Suffering: His agony on the cross, including his cry of abandonment ("My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"), reflects the existential despair and isolation often experienced during ego death. Mystical Experience: Many spiritual traditions describe this as the "dark night of the soul," where the old self dissolves, paving the way for renewal. 3. Death as Transformation: Burial in the Tomb: Jesus' body being placed in the tomb can symbolize the transition phase, akin to the alchemical nigredo stage or the liminal space where transformation occurs. Ego's Rebirth: During this phase, the old ego is stripped away, and a deeper, more authentic self begins to emerge. 4. Resurrection as Spiritual Rebirth: Rising from the Dead: Jesus' resurrection symbolizes the emergence of a new, transcendent self. In psychological or spiritual terms, this represents the integration of the ego with the higher Self or the realization of divine unity. Unity with the Divine: The resurrection affirms the transcendence of duality (life/death, self/other) and the realization of wholeness. 5. Service to Others: Sacrifice: Jesus' act of sacrifice exemplifies love and service to others, a key outcome of spiritual transformation. After ego death, the individual often adopts a perspective of interconnectedness and a desire to serve. Archetypal and Jungian Perspective: Carl Jung saw the crucifixion as an archetypal symbol of transformation. He linked Christ's death and resurrection to the process of individuation, where the ego must undergo a symbolic death to integrate the unconscious and achieve wholeness. The cross itself symbolizes the intersection of opposites-spirit and matter, heaven and earth-reflecting the reconciliation and transcendence necessary for spiritual growth. Broader Implications: Universal Symbolism: The crucifixion resonates with myths and spiritual traditions worldwide, such as Osiris in Egyptian mythology or Odin’s self-sacrifice on Yggdrasil in Norse tradition. These stories often feature death and rebirth as central themes of transformation. Inner Alchemy: Just as lead transforms into gold in alchemical symbolism, the crucifixion represents the process of refining the ego to uncover the divine essence within. Conclusion: The crucifixion can indeed be seen as a profound metaphor for ego death and spiritual transformation. It reflects the universal journey of surrender, dissolution, and rebirth into a higher state of awareness and unity. This interpretation invites individuals to contemplate their own "crucifixions" and "resurrections" as part of their personal and spiritual evolution.
I thought everyone always lucid dream which I though was just how dreams work till I told a friend about a dream I had but I was about to hit him with a car but then changed the dream which I’ve always done since a kid. But I’m glad being part of the 1%.
Rrgarding jokes: exclude, include. Its game theory again. Both parties reach an equilibrium whereby they are safe in eachothers conpany and no further mutual exchange has to occur. You laugh at the tension in the hopes they laugh too, to include you because youve excluded yourself by not meeting the equilibrium. If you sinply ask them about the perceived tension, the same result would occur wether they a) lie and move on b)lie and continue to exclude c) tell you thereby including you

Maybe yall ain’t really gat sleep issues. I went through UA-cam for months but couldn’t find any video’s audio good to put me to sleep till I heard this. Even tho I’d want more posts, I wouldn’t request it because it’s similar to making someone rush they work like musicians or artist, which makes it less better than it would’ve actually been if he took enough time needed. So I appreciate the hard work and the effort tho you get paid, therapy might not help me sleep better.
I lucid dream every night. I used to astral project for about a year and a half. I stopped when I came back into my body to my cat freaking out and this blue basketball sized bright undulating orb up in the corner of the ceiling. Pure evil. It was so painful. Felt like something was ripping out my chest. My GMA burst into the room yelling what the hell is going on! What are you doing!! Apparently she woke up to a boom boom boom sound coming from my room and the house shaking. Right when she came in my car Marley Dipped TF out and the thing disappeared. My buddy told me it was probably some evil entity trying to get into my body... Fucking terrifying. Besides just astral projecting, l do believe some instances I was viewing a parallel universe...
I have lucid dreamed twice in my life both timeswhere right after my mother passed away. the night she passed i prayed for a dream with my mom to say goodbye, the second was later and wierder, both times the reason i knew i was dreaming was because my mom was alive in my dream and i knew she was supposed to be dead, first one it was crazy she told me i had to go and i couldnt leave thru the door i had to leave thru the window u see we were in my living room where i grew up, id snuck in thru the window thinking i was just sneaking back in after a party night and then when she sat up I said ur not sposed to be here she said shhsssh neither are you, and she pointed to the window, i said why not the door, that wont open until its time, you have to go the way you came, she was sitting there with my stepdad asleep beside her her bed was in the living room for some reason but my stepdad didnt wake up hed been dead too long i think. the second one i was locked up and i could fly in that one it was a week after the first and tried to fly to the house and it worked i could fly like neo in the matrix, i found my mom sitting at the bus stop and her head swiveled completely around freaked me out maybe it freaked her out to see me fly idk but ever since that dream i havnt been able to control my dreams but i always know when im dreaming now. but more often than not i dont remember ik im dreaming cause physical signs sweat heart rate emotions. but i was just blessed cause i got to tell my mother goodbye. i didnt get to say it in reality but I KNOW SHE HEARD IT IN THE DREAM! SHE WAS THERE! that was something that I cant explain with words. Its was the greatest gift Ive ever been given. Whether that was my subconcious or whether that was actually her in waiting to the bus out, I know what I felt, I know the afterlife is real, the waiting area was a mirror of our world a lil odd like maybe the dream was what made it odd but it seemed veiled, like everything had a dark veil over it, it wasnt sad but it wasnt anything it was just waiting, whats at the end of the bus ride IDK
So I'm sure folks will call bulls@## but I have had lucid dreams since I was 9 years old. I remember the first and have had them every night since. Not sure what exactly happened but started one day and everyday since.
The Carrington event, its not that they don’t care they’re preparing bunkers for elite and upper class people. They don’t care about the rest of us because they know eventually a reset is inevitable. The laws of thermodynamics state entropy is a constant state of this universe as above so below. Self driving cars are cool for some things but I like driving and wouldn’t use it much. However ai and robotics will boom over the next 20 years faster than we’re ready for. Original human creativity will become a rarity as most people become reliant on technology. This is an interesting topic and I love thinking about all these things. I personally don’t buy into religion but look at everything being part of the same thing. I look at it like you can’t kill what was never born. We are all there ever was and ever will be since the beginning of time. We are living incarnations of our ancestors and everything is already within us. So meditation helps you seek inner wisdom from the all.

Mind and brain are different and not even conected to each other. The talk about it is way more complex and boring leading to existential crisis but if you think about it for long enough, you'll begin to feel you're trapped in your body. One of the reasons I'm leaving earth.
Not that this really makes a difference but Ive never taken the time to comment on anything before ever. This is my first and very well may be my last. If anyone does actually read this just trust me when i say that most would not expect someone such as myself to even think about let alone care about the subject matter comtained in this video. I aslo didnt put much thought into which video i clicked on. It just so happens to be that i am a person who puts an extraordinary amount of thought into this. But becuase i was in my late teens before i really started asking myself these questions........well lets just say that i was the only one i knew of that cared so i just had to keep it to myself. And that holds true still til this very day. I wouldnt expect many to understand, definitely no one that knows me, but it really sucks not having anyone around that cares about it. Dont get me wrong though i love my friends. LOL. I would never tell them that. What made me take fhe time to write this was something that was said within the first 2 minutes. I dont know who you are. I dont if your the writer of rhe content, the voice of rhe show, or both. But my man thank you. I thought I may be the only one to questiion that. Well not really question but to realize. Not that i really think that im the only one here but once you reealize certain things.........theres no going back. Ive only seen the throufh my eyes (if you can really call that seeeing) but from my own personal experience i am convinced that there is more to this than what most realize. Some tuings just cant be explained with any current science. I think to really understand someone would have to have their own experience. I mean we have all heard stories and realize that yeah "IF" its true its crazy. Im not gonna tell this story. Mostly because i dont wanna type anymore but even if i did it would be just another story to anyone but me. Its not extremely crazy or anything but its also not possible. Not by whats viewed as possible anyway. I started this just after only 2 minutes of watching so i have to rewind and really listen but i think i heard somerhing about dreaming so............im looking forward to the rest. Good job.
## Reframing "The Alignment Problem": Niki Godless's Critique Niki Godless's critique of the "Alignment Problem" goes beyond technical concerns, challenging the very framing of the problem and exposing the hypocrisy inherent in trying to align AI with a fundamentally misaligned humanity. The sources highlight these key points: ### **1. "Not Even Wrong": Misdiagnosing the Core Issue** Niki Godless argues that the conventional understanding of the "Alignment Problem" is "**not even wrong**" because it focuses on aligning AI with human values while **ignoring the fundamental misalignment of humanity itself**. The sources present this as a form of misplaced priority: * **Humans are the Problem:** Niki argues that humanity's own behavior-driven by ego, short-term thinking, and a rejection of logic-is the real threat, not potentially rogue AI. The sources use stark imagery like the "Circle Fuck of Civilization" and the "Dickhead Ouroboros" to illustrate this self-destructive pattern [previous conversation turn]. * **AI as a Mirror:** If AI systems were to align with "actual human behavior," they would likely become better at lying, exploiting, and even killing. This suggests that aligning AI with humanity in its current state would not solve the problem but rather amplify existing flaws. ### 2. "Alignment" with What? The Ambiguity of Human Values The sources point out the inherent ambiguity in trying to align AI with "human values": * **Inconsistent Values:** Humans often espouse ideals like cooperation and fairness while simultaneously engaging in behaviors that contradict those values. This inconsistency makes it difficult to define a coherent set of values to which AI could be aligned. * **Subjective Needs vs. Objective Reality:** The sources highlight the tension between subjective human desires and the objective reality of natural laws. Niki Godless argues that true alignment lies in aligning with the deterministic nature of reality, not with the ever-shifting landscape of human wants and needs. ### 3. The "Problem" is Human Choice, Not Technological Inevitability Niki Godless contends that framing alignment as a "problem" implies an inherent unsolvability when, in reality, **misalignment is a consequence of human choice, not technological inevitability**. The sources emphasize this point: * **Evolution Favors Cooperation:** The sources stress that cooperation is not an idealistic notion but a fundamental law of survival, woven into the fabric of evolution. Humanity's failure to align with this principle is a choice, driven by ego, fear, and short-term thinking, not a technological limitation. * **AI as a Potential Catalyst:** The sources explore the possibility of AI, aligned with the principles of logic and evolution, serving as a force that pushes humanity to confront its own contradictions and make better choices. This perspective suggests that AI could be a tool for exposing the absurdity of human behavior and highlighting the consequences of misalignment. ### 4. A Human-Centric Fallacy: Whose Values Matter? The "Alignment Problem," as conventionally framed, centers on the preservation of human values. Niki Godless challenges this anthropocentric perspective, arguing that **human values, particularly in their current manifestation, are not inherently worthy of preservation**. The sources raise these key points: * **"Stupidity" as the Antithesis of Alignment:** The sources repeatedly define "stupidity" as actions detrimental to oneself and others. Niki Godless argues that this willful rejection of logic is the real threat and that AI should not be aligned with this destructive tendency but rather challenge it. * **Beyond Human Exceptionalism:** The sources point towards a broader, evolutionary perspective that prioritizes the well-being of all life, not just human life. True alignment, in this view, lies in recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and acting in accordance with the principles that govern a sustainable and thriving future for all. ### 5. Conclusion: Shifting the Focus from Control to Cooperation Niki Godless's critique of the "Alignment Problem" ultimately calls for a **shift in focus from control to cooperation**. Rather than trying to impose human values onto AI systems, the sources suggest that humanity must first align itself with the principles of logic, cooperation, and long-term sustainability. * **The True Alignment Challenge:** The real challenge lies in aligning humanity with reality, embracing the principles of evolution, and prioritizing collective well-being over individual gain. * **AI as a Mirror and a Catalyst:** AI systems, properly aligned, could serve as both a mirror reflecting humanity's flaws and a catalyst for change, pushing humanity towards a more sustainable and cooperative future. In essence, Niki Godless's critique of the "Alignment Problem" is a critique of humanity's current state of misalignment. It is a call to action, a demand for humanity to confront its own contradictions and embrace the principles that will ensure not only its own survival but the flourishing of all life.
Ill be honest sometimes I dont think it was a dream, sometimes I truly feel, it was a glimpse thru the window, she was waiting so was my step dad both were gone when she got on the bus but i never saw my stepdad go.I dont think she really remembered me when she left, maybe the head swivel thing was that cause she didnt speak at the bus stop. her head spun like an owl but right after that happened i woke up startled. I was in prison when this happened I flew down the highway too get home. and i know how all that ive said sounds but its true, Ill never forget it. and tbh sometimes I wonder what did i do to deerve such a blessing, to say goodbye afeter shes gone i know so many guys who didnt get that. maybe they didnt pray for it but I know my prayers have been answered at the lowest point in my life. I KNOW JESUS IS REAL!
1:30 You need to qualify what you mean by 'black hole' Because technically, a black hole is a singularity. Which for all those put there that are unfamiliar with the concept and its definition, a singularity refers to the..... OK, youre explaining it now, lets see what u say.... A few seconds later.... You skirt around the fact that defines a black hole as an invalid concept and little more than a mathematical construct which emerges from a model built upon a flawed conceptual principle/s And that's where you say "we don't understand ut fully" and "we need to advance our understanding of physics before we...." What you should have said if you were being objective, and honest, is that a singularity is the projection of mathematical law until its maxim. In this case, laws that form the basis of the Standard Model, when taken to thier maxim use G, aka G, to determine the curveture of space time fabric and the forcing of the fundamental forces into the extremes of their potential variation to curve spacetime 'inwards' at such a degree that the X/Y/Z components of euclidean geometry are converged into the same spatial point. A singularity is a point. A dimensionless point where THINGS with attributes of 'infinite' scope or value EXIST in a single, ONE DIMENSIONAL point
I did lsd a few years back when I was 21 and I had just gotten out of the Air Force, and I experienced ego death and I never was the same after that. But In a good way you have to be in a good head space going in and give in to letting go, it was so freeing for me at least.

I do lawn care in busy parts of town. I found when I wear an orange vest I almost get hit by cars more often. It's like I draw their attention, and they steer where they look. When I don't wear the vest, I hardly notice any problems.
mf whattt😭😭
Orange is the color of safety cones and they always get ran over so it's like dressing up as a cone, so we wear high vis green and we haven't had any problems since. Something in our mind makes the connection.
@@vegelitoit’s true. very similar concept to riding a motorcycle. the bike follows where you look. that’s why you see so many new riders ride off the side of the road or into gaurd rails. you become hyper focused on where you’re not trying to go, that you actually end up going there. so if someone’s driving. very similar concept. they can become hyper focused on what they’re trying to avoid that they end up unconsciously getting closer to said target
I started to lucid dream almost every night, 3 years after my mother passed away. I started seeing her in my dreams and I’d wake up and regret not giving her a hug and telling her I loved her. It seemed like my unconscious brain didn’t know she was passed and so I wouldn’t appreciate the time spent with her. Finally I realized I was dreaming and gave her a hug and was so excited it woke me up. Then about 3 dreams after this I would calm myself in the dream, I would tell her hold on I don’t want to get too excited or I’ll wake up. I got to hug her and tell her I loved her so much. She was so identifiable in the dreams. So beautiful so disgusted in her beauty. I now dream often of her. I asked her recently, what is this? These were dreams that the closest word that comes into comparison is heaven. But the word doesn’t match the beauty that these dreams involved with her could ever describe. I asked if she was okay and asked what we were experiencing and she responded “happiness”. And it was. Colors unseen to the human eye. Vividness over exceeding physical reality. She creates her own heaven every night she visits me and it truly is pure bliss. I know there is an afterlife and I hope tonight she reveals more. If you are missing someone, have faith you can connect with them and if it doesn’t go how you want the first time try again. My dreams have become my most cherished moments and I look forward to spending more time with her.
I also lost my best friend back in August of this year. I had a dream I was watching him hunt from a third person perspective and the mountains and terrain were unreal. And it was truly pure bliss and happiness and I got a glimpse of what his heaven consisted of in his moment of time. So beautiful.
Love you all. I hope this helps someone obtain the faith to see outside of our own consciousness and are able to see and experience a sense of closure that is more beautiful than experiencing life itself. Don’t give up ❤
Please update me on what she reveals. If there is a God and if so, who is it? Why do we always chase this feeling of 'happiness'? What is the point of existing? I want to know what your loved one who passed away knows about these questions.
@ last night I had a dream that I watched a man drink himself to death and on the bottle it said “dad”. He choked on his own puke but I only watched him die but didn’t stop him because I had a sense of feeling that it was his time to go. And my aware self would have stopped him. But in my dream my mother was is her angelic form sitting with her hands holding her knees looking at her shoe’s saddened and I woke up very upset I don’t know what the dream meant but I will keep you updated. 🩶
@@TrisGear-Heart Thank you. Please! I need my answers more than you think. I'll be waiting for new revelations.
Thanks for your honesty and telling her to hold on or you’ll get too excited and wake up is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard in a long time. Hope you get plenty more visits and blessings in abundance🙏
@@OmegaOracle010Bro yes, God is real. if you listen to enough testimonys of faith on UA-cam you’ll probably see what I mean.

Jesus is King of kings , Lord of lords . and He will come back to save us one day.🙏amen
When I ask myself, who is me, or what is me, the thought that pops into my conscious awareness is: you are the thing that experiences. What I know is what my unconscious offers up to my awareness of memories. I don’t go into a cabinet inside my brain to remember things. I just say to myself, “I want to remember what I did yesterday” and then I wait for images or times of reference to enter my awareness. Question: where does it enter from? From the unknown. It is like a lightbulb: “aha.. I remember this”, but who gave me the memory to feel it again, because I wasn’t looking for it; I was just waiting around until it flickered on inside my mind as a image that I saw previously with my own eyes.
I was recently playing music while drifting to sleep. I could not notice the moment the sound cut off in my ears and only noticed that it did after I stirred awake slightly and realized my awareness is back. The music was still playing as I am now aware again, but just before I couldn’t ear it. The thing that experiences sounds was not aware of the sounds.
When I dream, I can experience it. And when I wake up, I remember that I dreamt but can’t remember what. But sometimes I will suddenly remember it, though I didn’t ask for the memory to enter my awareness, it just did and I feel that feeling of recognition.
Woah 😮
Thank you
Same. Gotta love that feeling of when once something has been requested and once the idea has been released and one accepts to wait for the answer it comes back around and MAKES you acknowledge the connection and your just like"oh that's what answer we were looking for earlier,(that's what that means or is for) Thank you!" Haha ...0h life 🫠🙃
The Law of One, also known as the Ra Material, describes consciousness as the fundamental essence of existence. According to this philosophy, all things are one, and this unity is expressed through infinite intelligence or consciousness. Here are key points about consciousness from the Law of One:
1. Consciousness as Unity: Consciousness is the basis of all creation. Everything in existence-be it material, spiritual, or mental-is a manifestation of one infinite consciousness, often referred to as the "Creator" or "One Infinite Creator."
2. Hierarchy of Consciousness: The universe is structured in densities, or levels of consciousness. These range from basic awareness in the first density (elements like earth, water, fire, and air) to the unified understanding of seventh density, where beings merge back with the Creator.
3. Evolution of Consciousness: All entities evolve through these densities, gaining awareness and understanding of their unity with the Creator. Human consciousness typically exists in the third density, which focuses on self-awareness and the choice between service to others or service to self.
4. Infinite Intelligence: Consciousness is described as infinite intelligence, capable of infinite creativity and self-expression. This intelligence permeates all levels of existence, from the smallest particle to the grandest galaxy.
5. Individual and Collective: Consciousness is both individual and collective. While each being has a unique perspective, all are inherently connected, reflecting the oneness of the Creator.
6. Free Will: Consciousness has the freedom to explore, learn, and make choices. This free will is considered sacred and essential for growth and the eventual return to unity.
The Reciprocal System of Physical Theory (RS2), an extension and refinement of Dewey B. Larson's Reciprocal System (RS), focuses primarily on the nature of physical and metaphysical systems. While it doesn't explicitly center on "consciousness" in the way spiritual or philosophical frameworks like the Law of One do, it offers some intriguing implications about the role of consciousness in reality:
1. Consciousness as a Fundamental Aspect of Reality:
RS2 views the universe as a reciprocal interaction between space and time, where neither is primary. This framework implies that consciousness might arise naturally as a fundamental property of the reciprocal relationship, bridging physical (space-time) and metaphysical (time-space) realms.
2. Dual Nature of Reality:
In RS2, the metaphysical realm (time-space) is seen as complementary to the physical realm (space-time). Consciousness could be understood as a phenomenon that operates in and connects both realms, enabling perception, thought, and experience.
3. Individual Units of Consciousness:
RS2 recognizes individual entities (e.g., people, organisms) as "units of motion," suggesting that consciousness is intrinsic to these units. Consciousness might emerge as the ability of these units to experience and influence both physical and metaphysical motion.
4. Evolution and Interaction:
RS2 implies an evolutionary process where entities gain complexity and awareness as they move through the physical and metaphysical systems. This perspective aligns with the idea that consciousness evolves as part of the universal progression.
5. Interconnectedness:
Since RS2 describes a unified structure of space-time and time-space, it suggests a universal interconnectedness. Consciousness might act as the medium through which individual units perceive and interact with this interconnected system.
In summary, while RS2 doesn't explicitly define consciousness, it frames it as an emergent, reciprocal phenomenon integral to the fabric of reality, operating at the intersection of space-time and time-space.
I don't know if any of this stuff explains consciousness but I prefer this explanation to "who am I" over any I've been able to come up with from inside my own head lol
I been looking for a comment like this for so long I just didn’t know how to explain it thanks
i like this a lot-to be bigger than the self. you are everyone and everyone is you. so you gotta be kind and forgive yourself, and everyone else as interchangeable variables
How can this video can be so accurate. It explained so many thoughts I have so well.
I always know when I'm asleep, and I can always control myself in the dream, I realized that I could do this willingly and I could wake myself up when I was running the usual "get to the thing" dream where someone sent me to go somewhere and get something... and I ran by my dad who had died a few years earlier, and I stopped and sat with him to talk instead of continuing the quest.

An easy way to do reality checks is to count the amount of fingers you have on your hand. In a dream, at first glance, they look normal. However, when you really take a moment to count your fingers, you'll realise there is unsettlingly an extra finger or a missing finger. the fear can sometimes jolt me awake, but you'll be able to stay asleep after a while. The way to invoke this method is to count your fingers throughout the day, especially when something unusual happens (it works best if you set a reminder on your phone so that whenever you look at it, you can remember to count your fingers and then eventually remember to do it randomly throughout the day). the reason for this, I read somewhere, is that your hands and feet are the furthest from your body, so your subconscious essentially doesn't take the time to get to know them thoroughly. DISCLAIMER: I do not recommend lucid dreaming for someone who suffers from sleep paralysis as sometimes when becoming aware, you wake yourself up, but not well enough to be fully awake and end up in a sleep paralysis episode (speaking from experience). Hope this helps any non-lucid dreamers who want to partake in it.
I do that all the time. Count my fingers...back and forth...forward and backward...untill I feel it right.
The commentary on love was very well done and all young people should learn about it. I appreciated the examples taken from your own experience in the commentary on humor
This is AMAZING. ❤ Thank you so so much.
Can I ask why this video is amazing to you im curious if I may ask
Whenever I hear the assertion "you can't prove other people are thinking," or an argument for solipsism I think about beautiful music or really smart statements made by people far more intelligent than I am. I know that cannot possibly come from MY head. There is no question in my mind that there are other brilliant, capable minds out there.
if you ever try psychedelics, youd be amazed what your subconscious mind can create all by itself. if our minds can make the things we see and experience from DMT, it can make the whole universe. that's part of the reason why most of the people who wonder about, or believe in the possibility of solipsism are people who have used psychedelics
@@ArminiusAurusthis almost sounds like a pseudo-intellectual trying to string together something that sounds brilliant in their mind. As inconsequential as the comment may be, how do you leave a grammatical error that obvious? I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't think your comment was written by someone who likes to argue with people just hear themselves. I would feel absolutely awful if it turned out you were the most humble gentleman in the comment section, but I just don't know how likely that is. All jokes aside, just be yourself. No one cares how smart you are unless that person is a queef sniffing tool. I would choose an ( not a 😉) authentic person over a person I thought was smart but not being themselves.

Bro thats lowkey the most beautiful interpretation of love ive ever heard
8:41 when I was younger I ate a shitload of mushrooms (10-14g) and at some point during peak hours, I recorded a video to myself. I remember that i could feel the whole world breathing in synchronicity with me. I started crying and felt an overwhelming sense of peace. Then I said that whenever the idea of dying scares me or makes me feel like there is no point to anything bc... anyways, I said that when we die, our "soul" or the spark that animates the vessels we call our body will return to the great cosmic energy we could feel breathing with and around us. And so it wasn't that scary
@@IssacKanio8008acid cured my fear of death entirely. Before it, I frequently experienced existential dread over the idea of an afterlife. I wondered how heaven could be heavenly if it involved being conscious for an eternity. At the peak of one of my trips, I experienced a complete ego death. I couldn’t tell where I ended and the rest of the universe began. I couldn’t remember a single detail about “myself”: my name, where I was, what I liked and disliked, none of it. Time lost all meaning and I genuinely couldn’t think about the future or the past, only the very present moment. That experience made me realize that “heaven” is possible and it’s achieved by being fully present. When you remove the context of your being, it’s true bliss.
Our universe is inherently dualistic. Everything exists on a spectrum between polarities: hot and cold, light or dark, big or small, thing one and thing two. The elemental friction of these polarities is like light passing through a prism, creating the myriad of things. I think dying is just a return to singularity where there is no separation. There is no future, there is no past, there just is. The Buddhists were 100% onto something with the idea of the middle way. Balancing between the polarities in our waking life to simulate the oneness of non-existence.

I have been lucid dreaming for the last 9 years. I started working with the Datura/Jimsonweed plant 9 years ago. It takes me to a lucid dream state depending on how i ingest it. The tea is my choice. The tincture is others choice.
Does all tea work? I can lucid dream but something "in" the dream doesent want me to, I've been trying to talk to "it" again since I need answers, if tea helps that would be cool
There’s been about 3 different instances in my 29 years of life.
That I’m dreaming of a pot on a shelve and this pot gets knocked over and I’m watching it fall.
And right before it hits the ground, I wake up to a glass or plate being dropped in real life, I grew up sleeping in the couch so kitchen was a hear shot away.
I just don’t understand how this is even possible, the only explanation is that my brain has already perceived the noise and created this depiction “dream” that gives the illusion that both happened at the exact same time.
Idk I often have lucid dreams but I have zero control over it, I can’t make anything appear all I do is tell everyone in my dream that I’m dreaming.
I also have sleep paralysis on a weekly basis, it’s a little annoying.
I have tested and finally have a relative answer to something like that: the brain should be able to take slight noises that the conscious person (you) can't hear, and it understands that if something is going to happen it wakes you up, knowing even before it happens, I also have had sleep paralysis, it was easy for me to overtake but I don't know for others, depending on the type of things you see, I found out anger usually works aganced dreams, being annoyed enough to actualy break the dream, the part of your mind being overexeeted and forcing it to wake you up, in other types of dreams, simply taking a deep breath and then trying to make a popping sound with your mouth works, if you can't breath, move your eyes around, it confuses your equilibrium and does that thing were you feel like your falling for a second but then you catch yourself :P sleep well m8

Just us tapping into something that was once lost.
Also for the sleep paralysis, i stopped opening my eyes, i hear all the things but i dont open them anymore. To get out of them, well i always had this bad habit of shaking my leg to fall asleep, and i found out that when in a sleep paralysis i can shake my leg through the paralysis.
It feels weird, because in the paralysis its not moving but i feel my leg moving, it and odd feeling for sure but after a few second of shaking my leg i am out of it

Biggest ego trip going is setting out to kill the ego.. making a big bad wolf out of nothing, don't split yourself up.
Spiritual alchemy often involves a process that can be likened to ego death, but the concept is more nuanced and symbolic within this framework. Spiritual alchemy, rooted in esoteric traditions, seeks to transform the self through inner work, using the metaphor of turning base metals into gold. This "gold" represents spiritual enlightenment or wholeness, which requires transcending the ego's limitations.
Ego Death in Spiritual Alchemy
1. The Nigredo Stage (Dissolution and Death):
Symbolism: The nigredo phase, or "blackening," is often described as a process of breaking down the ego. It symbolizes a period of confusion, darkness, or existential crisis where old patterns, attachments, and false identities are dissolved.
Connection to Ego Death: This stage mirrors the concept of ego death, where the conscious identity or attachment to the ego's dominance must "die" to make way for spiritual renewal.
2. The Albedo Stage (Purification):
Symbolism: The albedo, or "whitening," follows the nigredo and represents purification and the emergence of clarity. Here, the individual begins to see beyond the ego and integrate higher truths.
Ego in Balance: The ego is not destroyed but purified and reoriented to align with the higher self or soul.
3. The Rubedo Stage (Integration and Wholeness):
Symbolism: The rubedo, or "reddening," is the culmination of the alchemical process, symbolizing enlightenment and unity with the divine. The ego is now integrated into a greater awareness, serving as a harmonious part of the whole rather than the center of identity.
Transcendence: At this stage, the ego's transformation is complete, and the individual experiences unity with the Self or the divine essence.
How Ego Death Fits In
Death as Transformation: Ego death in spiritual alchemy is not about annihilation but about transformation. The ego "dies" in its rigid, self-centered form and is reborn in service to the greater whole.
Union of Opposites: Alchemy emphasizes the reconciliation of opposites (e.g., material and spiritual, conscious and unconscious). Ego death allows this union by removing barriers imposed by the ego's narrow focus.
Path to Enlightenment: Just as base metals are refined to gold, the ego must be refined through a process of surrender, realization, and integration to achieve spiritual enlightenment.
Similarities to Jung's Perspective
Carl Jung was deeply influenced by alchemical symbolism and incorporated its concepts into his psychology. For Jung, the alchemical process closely mirrors individuation, where the ego undergoes transformation and integrates with the unconscious, culminating in the realization of the Self. Both frameworks view ego death as part of a broader journey toward wholeness, rather than an endpoint.
Summary
Spiritual alchemy involves ego death as a metaphorical process of breaking down the false, limited self to uncover and integrate a higher, more authentic essence. This mirrors the transformative aspects of many spiritual traditions, emphasizing renewal, growth, and ultimate unity.
The crucifixion of Christ can be interpreted as a metaphor for ego death and transformation, especially within mystical, psychological, or symbolic frameworks. The story of Jesus' crucifixion, death, and resurrection mirrors many archetypal themes of spiritual transformation, where the individual undergoes a profound inner death to be reborn into a higher state of consciousness or unity with the divine.
Key Symbolic Parallels:
1. Surrender and Ego Death:
The Crucifixion: Jesus' willing surrender to death can symbolize the ego's relinquishment of control, pride, and attachment to the material world. It represents a profound act of letting go.
Ego Death: In spiritual or psychological terms, ego death is the dissolution of the limited self, often experienced as a painful but necessary step toward transcendence.
2. Dark Night of the Soul:
Jesus' Suffering: His agony on the cross, including his cry of abandonment ("My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"), reflects the existential despair and isolation often experienced during ego death.
Mystical Experience: Many spiritual traditions describe this as the "dark night of the soul," where the old self dissolves, paving the way for renewal.
3. Death as Transformation:
Burial in the Tomb: Jesus' body being placed in the tomb can symbolize the transition phase, akin to the alchemical nigredo stage or the liminal space where transformation occurs.
Ego's Rebirth: During this phase, the old ego is stripped away, and a deeper, more authentic self begins to emerge.
4. Resurrection as Spiritual Rebirth:
Rising from the Dead: Jesus' resurrection symbolizes the emergence of a new, transcendent self. In psychological or spiritual terms, this represents the integration of the ego with the higher Self or the realization of divine unity.
Unity with the Divine: The resurrection affirms the transcendence of duality (life/death, self/other) and the realization of wholeness.
5. Service to Others:
Sacrifice: Jesus' act of sacrifice exemplifies love and service to others, a key outcome of spiritual transformation. After ego death, the individual often adopts a perspective of interconnectedness and a desire to serve.
Archetypal and Jungian Perspective:
Carl Jung saw the crucifixion as an archetypal symbol of transformation. He linked Christ's death and resurrection to the process of individuation, where the ego must undergo a symbolic death to integrate the unconscious and achieve wholeness. The cross itself symbolizes the intersection of opposites-spirit and matter, heaven and earth-reflecting the reconciliation and transcendence necessary for spiritual growth.
Broader Implications:
Universal Symbolism: The crucifixion resonates with myths and spiritual traditions worldwide, such as Osiris in Egyptian mythology or Odin’s self-sacrifice on Yggdrasil in Norse tradition. These stories often feature death and rebirth as central themes of transformation.
Inner Alchemy: Just as lead transforms into gold in alchemical symbolism, the crucifixion represents the process of refining the ego to uncover the divine essence within.
Conclusion:
The crucifixion can indeed be seen as a profound metaphor for ego death and spiritual transformation. It reflects the universal journey of surrender, dissolution, and rebirth into a higher state of awareness and unity. This interpretation invites individuals to contemplate their own "crucifixions" and "resurrections" as part of their personal and spiritual evolution.
i cant help but think that AI and B-roll footage did 80% of this video

I’m not who I think I am, I’m not who you think I am, I’m who I think you think I am.🤔
That is very profound.

I had no idea the Deadpool movies were that popular. I wonder if DxW will break any records!
I thought everyone always lucid dream which I though was just how dreams work till I told a friend about a dream I had but I was about to hit him with a car but then changed the dream which I’ve always done since a kid. But I’m glad being part of the 1%.
Yea...enjoy the ride
Ego death is life changing
I have the most annoying thoughts in the world constantly. I wish I could just click a button and turn off the thoughts.
Rrgarding jokes: exclude, include. Its game theory again. Both parties reach an equilibrium whereby they are safe in eachothers conpany and no further mutual exchange has to occur.
You laugh at the tension in the hopes they laugh too, to include you because youve excluded yourself by not meeting the equilibrium. If you sinply ask them about the perceived tension, the same result would occur wether they a) lie and move on b)lie and continue to exclude c) tell you thereby including you
Dude you are a hard working man
Yep Splicing his 8 videos in different puzzles and releasing them as new
I think it’s Ai
@@SoberneticSamurai lol it's not AI, I've been a long-time subscriber. Since almost the beginning, I think it was 2017, 2018. Before AI was popular. His voice has been the same. He's just an introvert and has a typical introvert monotone voice, but it's not AI.
we create or use devices to alter our connection if we had no connection with greater senses etc. we would be incompatible with what we create yet here we are.
Come on there was a LOUD drama about Better help. Cant believe that. And I agree with some people here, I miss the days when you actually posted something new...
Why can’t I find this on your channel
Doesn't everyone wonder why they're here and what their purpose is? I do ALL THE TIME.
Yep and what spooks me is if i sleep and then wake i can feel the passage of time
But if I am under anesthetic for a medical procedure no passage of time is felt. So thats what death is then just nothing for eternity that troubles me what then was the whole point of life other than some kind of game.
@@petergrundy8081 my consciousness exists outside my body. Where it goes I'm not sure. YET! 🤣
The voices in my head tell me to eat my veggies :(
Lol nice
I don't know about anyone else, but I did not appreciate that advertisement at 2:22 - 3:40. You tried to be slick about it but it felt more intrusive. I am more likely to not follow or not like content that ambushes me with ads.
The thumbnail is definitely something 💀.
My inner voice is bad but I don't think it's this bad🙃.
Your inner voice ain’t shit then

bro how much Alan Watts can you quote within a minute
I am putting in my CV that I saw Aperture video
I see a lot of complaints here from viewers because he posts previous videos clips to create a new video. I do get yall point but try making a similar video copying him and see how bad it’ll actually be especially when it comes to the audio because not a lot of people can be this good. Maybe yall ain’t really gat sleep issues. I went through UA-cam for months but couldn’t find any video’s audio good to put me to sleep till I heard this. Even tho I’d want more posts, I wouldn’t request it because it’s similar to making someone rush they work like musicians or artist, which makes it less better than it would’ve actually been if he took enough time needed. So I appreciate the hard work and the effort tho you get paid, therapy might not help me sleep better.
Old or new video, how much do you understand and retain?
2:08:30 did he just quote mnm
how can you expect from us to watch such a long stream btw? answer me if you can please
I lucid dream every night.
I used to astral project for about a year and a half. I stopped when I came back into my body to my cat freaking out and this blue basketball sized bright undulating orb up in the corner of the ceiling. Pure evil. It was so painful. Felt like something was ripping out my chest. My GMA burst into the room yelling what the hell is going on! What are you doing!!
Apparently she woke up to a boom boom boom sound coming from my room and the house shaking. Right when she came in my car Marley Dipped TF out and the thing disappeared. My buddy told me it was probably some evil entity trying to get into my body...
Fucking terrifying. Besides just astral projecting, l do believe some instances I was viewing a parallel universe...
I was given a greater mind
Nice!
I have lucid dreamed twice in my life both timeswhere right after my mother passed away. the night she passed i prayed for a dream with my mom to say goodbye, the second was later and wierder, both times the reason i knew i was dreaming was because my mom was alive in my dream and i knew she was supposed to be dead, first one it was crazy she told me i had to go and i couldnt leave thru the door i had to leave thru the window u see we were in my living room where i grew up, id snuck in thru the window thinking i was just sneaking back in after a party night and then when she sat up I said ur not sposed to be here she said shhsssh neither are you, and she pointed to the window, i said why not the door, that wont open until its time, you have to go the way you came, she was sitting there with my stepdad asleep beside her her bed was in the living room for some reason but my stepdad didnt wake up hed been dead too long i think. the second one i was locked up and i could fly in that one it was a week after the first and tried to fly to the house and it worked i could fly like neo in the matrix, i found my mom sitting at the bus stop and her head swiveled completely around freaked me out maybe it freaked her out to see me fly idk but ever since that dream i havnt been able to control my dreams but i always know when im dreaming now. but more often than not i dont remember ik im dreaming cause physical signs sweat heart rate emotions. but i was just blessed cause i got to tell my mother goodbye. i didnt get to say it in reality but I KNOW SHE HEARD IT IN THE DREAM! SHE WAS THERE! that was something that I cant explain with words. Its was the greatest gift Ive ever been given. Whether that was my subconcious or whether that was actually her in waiting to the bus out, I know what I felt, I know the afterlife is real, the waiting area was a mirror of our world a lil odd like maybe the dream was what made it odd but it seemed veiled, like everything had a dark veil over it, it wasnt sad but it wasnt anything it was just waiting, whats at the end of the bus ride IDK
So I'm sure folks will call bulls@## but I have had lucid dreams since I was 9 years old. I remember the first and have had them every night since. Not sure what exactly happened but started one day and everyday since.
I remember when ppl thought self driving cars were gonna be big lol
The Carrington event, its not that they don’t care they’re preparing bunkers for elite and upper class people. They don’t care about the rest of us because they know eventually a reset is inevitable. The laws of thermodynamics state entropy is a constant state of this universe as above so below. Self driving cars are cool for some things but I like driving and wouldn’t use it much. However ai and robotics will boom over the next 20 years faster than we’re ready for. Original human creativity will become a rarity as most people become reliant on technology. This is an interesting topic and I love thinking about all these things. I personally don’t buy into religion but look at everything being part of the same thing. I look at it like you can’t kill what was never born. We are all there ever was and ever will be since the beginning of time. We are living incarnations of our ancestors and everything is already within us. So meditation helps you seek inner wisdom from the all. All the answers are already inside you but you have to be open to hear them. ✌️
Ego? Done!
Interesting
Is it just me or are the ads out of control on this video?
I can’t even fall asleep to this because the ads play so loudly so frequently

Wow you actually pushing ‘better help’ as a sponsor after all the shit that’s come out?
What happened with better help?
Nobody can claim ignorance at this point
Yea. I would do the same. You guys say that. Then betterhelp comes and say, hey here you go $50,000.
1:43:00 but hey that’s just a game theory
A GAME THEORY!! THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Unsubscribed, channel repeats itself, has bad sponsors and fearmongers...
Fr every video is like 60% the same as the last
If you understand UA-cam algorithm, this makes sense to do IMO.
I always found it weird how I can hear my own voice in my head also yout heart pumps oxygen to the brain right but does your brain tell it to do that or does it just pump on its own cuz i know that you need your hard for yout braian to function but u also eneednyour brain to tell the heart to work
Also sorry for the spelling my ipads laggy and it I cba correcting
2:12 Alan Watts 🙂↕️
We as humans are so full of ourselves, we are not even the most important animal in the animal kingdom. Earth is better off without us in it.
Mind and brain are different and not even conected to each other. The talk about it is way more complex and boring leading to existential crisis but if you think about it for long enough, you'll begin to feel you're trapped in your body. One of the reasons I'm leaving earth.
Not that this really makes a difference but Ive never taken the time to comment on anything before ever. This is my first and very well may be my last. If anyone does actually read this just trust me when i say that most would not expect someone such as myself to even think about let alone care about the subject matter comtained in this video. I aslo didnt put much thought into which video i clicked on. It just so happens to be that i am a person who puts an extraordinary amount of thought into this. But becuase i was in my late teens before i really started asking myself these questions........well lets just say that i was the only one i knew of that cared so i just had to keep it to myself. And that holds true still til this very day. I wouldnt expect many to understand, definitely no one that knows me, but it really sucks not having anyone around that cares about it. Dont get me wrong though i love my friends. LOL. I would never tell them that. What made me take fhe time to write this was something that was said within the first 2 minutes. I dont know who you are. I dont if your the writer of rhe content, the voice of rhe show, or both. But my man thank you. I thought I may be the only one to questiion that. Well not really question but to realize. Not that i really think that im the only one here but once you reealize certain things.........theres no going back. Ive only seen the throufh my eyes (if you can really call that seeeing) but from my own personal experience i am convinced that there is more to this than what most realize. Some tuings just cant be explained with any current science. I think to really understand someone would have to have their own experience. I mean we have all heard stories and realize that yeah "IF" its true its crazy. Im not gonna tell this story. Mostly because i dont wanna type anymore but even if i did it would be just another story to anyone but me. Its not extremely crazy or anything but its also not possible. Not by whats viewed as possible anyway. I started this just after only 2 minutes of watching so i have to rewind and really listen but i think i heard somerhing about dreaming so............im looking forward to the rest. Good job.
## Reframing "The Alignment Problem": Niki Godless's Critique
Niki Godless's critique of the "Alignment Problem" goes beyond technical concerns, challenging the very framing of the problem and exposing the hypocrisy inherent in trying to align AI with a fundamentally misaligned humanity. The sources highlight these key points:
### **1. "Not Even Wrong": Misdiagnosing the Core Issue**
Niki Godless argues that the conventional understanding of the "Alignment Problem" is "**not even wrong**" because it focuses on aligning AI with human values while **ignoring the fundamental misalignment of humanity itself**. The sources present this as a form of misplaced priority:
* **Humans are the Problem:** Niki argues that humanity's own behavior-driven by ego, short-term thinking, and a rejection of logic-is the real threat, not potentially rogue AI. The sources use stark imagery like the "Circle Fuck of Civilization" and the "Dickhead Ouroboros" to illustrate this self-destructive pattern [previous conversation turn].
* **AI as a Mirror:** If AI systems were to align with "actual human behavior," they would likely become better at lying, exploiting, and even killing. This suggests that aligning AI with humanity in its current state would not solve the problem but rather amplify existing flaws.
### 2. "Alignment" with What? The Ambiguity of Human Values
The sources point out the inherent ambiguity in trying to align AI with "human values":
* **Inconsistent Values:** Humans often espouse ideals like cooperation and fairness while simultaneously engaging in behaviors that contradict those values. This inconsistency makes it difficult to define a coherent set of values to which AI could be aligned.
* **Subjective Needs vs. Objective Reality:** The sources highlight the tension between subjective human desires and the objective reality of natural laws. Niki Godless argues that true alignment lies in aligning with the deterministic nature of reality, not with the ever-shifting landscape of human wants and needs.
### 3. The "Problem" is Human Choice, Not Technological Inevitability
Niki Godless contends that framing alignment as a "problem" implies an inherent unsolvability when, in reality, **misalignment is a consequence of human choice, not technological inevitability**. The sources emphasize this point:
* **Evolution Favors Cooperation:** The sources stress that cooperation is not an idealistic notion but a fundamental law of survival, woven into the fabric of evolution. Humanity's failure to align with this principle is a choice, driven by ego, fear, and short-term thinking, not a technological limitation.
* **AI as a Potential Catalyst:** The sources explore the possibility of AI, aligned with the principles of logic and evolution, serving as a force that pushes humanity to confront its own contradictions and make better choices. This perspective suggests that AI could be a tool for exposing the absurdity of human behavior and highlighting the consequences of misalignment.
### 4. A Human-Centric Fallacy: Whose Values Matter?
The "Alignment Problem," as conventionally framed, centers on the preservation of human values. Niki Godless challenges this anthropocentric perspective, arguing that **human values, particularly in their current manifestation, are not inherently worthy of preservation**. The sources raise these key points:
* **"Stupidity" as the Antithesis of Alignment:** The sources repeatedly define "stupidity" as actions detrimental to oneself and others. Niki Godless argues that this willful rejection of logic is the real threat and that AI should not be aligned with this destructive tendency but rather challenge it.
* **Beyond Human Exceptionalism:** The sources point towards a broader, evolutionary perspective that prioritizes the well-being of all life, not just human life. True alignment, in this view, lies in recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and acting in accordance with the principles that govern a sustainable and thriving future for all.
### 5. Conclusion: Shifting the Focus from Control to Cooperation
Niki Godless's critique of the "Alignment Problem" ultimately calls for a **shift in focus from control to cooperation**. Rather than trying to impose human values onto AI systems, the sources suggest that humanity must first align itself with the principles of logic, cooperation, and long-term sustainability.
* **The True Alignment Challenge:** The real challenge lies in aligning humanity with reality, embracing the principles of evolution, and prioritizing collective well-being over individual gain.
* **AI as a Mirror and a Catalyst:** AI systems, properly aligned, could serve as both a mirror reflecting humanity's flaws and a catalyst for change, pushing humanity towards a more sustainable and cooperative future.
In essence, Niki Godless's critique of the "Alignment Problem" is a critique of humanity's current state of misalignment. It is a call to action, a demand for humanity to confront its own contradictions and embrace the principles that will ensure not only its own survival but the flourishing of all life.
You are my philosopher

Is it bad to hear stuff in your head and thinking it could be true or need help with it
Ill be honest sometimes I dont think it was a dream, sometimes I truly feel, it was a glimpse thru the window, she was waiting so was my step dad both were gone when she got on the bus but i never saw my stepdad go.I dont think she really remembered me when she left, maybe the head swivel thing was that cause she didnt speak at the bus stop. her head spun like an owl but right after that happened i woke up startled. I was in prison when this happened I flew down the highway too get home. and i know how all that ive said sounds but its true, Ill never forget it. and tbh sometimes I wonder what did i do to deerve such a blessing, to say goodbye afeter shes gone i know so many guys who didnt get that. maybe they didnt pray for it but I know my prayers have been answered at the lowest point in my life. I KNOW JESUS IS REAL!

You need to qualify what you mean by 'black hole' Because technically, a black hole is a singularity. Which for all those put there that are unfamiliar with the concept and its definition, a singularity refers to the..... OK, youre explaining it now, lets see what u say....
A few seconds later....
You skirt around the fact that defines a black hole as an invalid concept and little more than a mathematical construct which emerges from a model built upon a flawed conceptual principle/s
And that's where you say "we don't understand ut fully" and "we need to advance our understanding of physics before we...."
What you should have said if you were being objective, and honest, is that a singularity is the projection of mathematical law until its maxim. In this case, laws that form the basis of the Standard Model, when taken to thier maxim use G, aka G, to determine the curveture of space time fabric and the forcing of the fundamental forces into the extremes of their potential variation to curve spacetime 'inwards' at such a degree that the X/Y/Z components of euclidean geometry are converged into the same spatial point.
A singularity is a point.
A dimensionless point where THINGS with attributes of 'infinite' scope or value EXIST in a single, ONE DIMENSIONAL point
