Technically Connor Murphy is right. God is acting; hence, that’s what an ego is. The self is an act, it’s a character that exists by acting like it exists. No act, no self.

It seems like part of him was interested in Truth/Philosophy, but he never let go of the social media persona. They say he was quite introverted in his private life. So it’s possible he had awakening or mystical experience (it seems so based off of his communications). He could have pretended. But my intuition is telling me that he did have some genuine interest in God and some insights on the matter. But he was still motivated by influencer social validation. More science could’ve helped Connor than spirituality. One of the things science does better than mysticism is that science relies on reliability and replicability. Mysticism/spirituality isn’t a reliable or definable path. There are many ways to do spirituality (some are more effective than others), and there are many ways to do science (ex: ethnographies, experimental-design, etc.) but science seems better in the sense it has more consistent and reliable results. Science is more clearly defined. Connor Murphy did spirituality incorrectly and many of his views were “spiritual” and unscientific. Had he have been more scientific and rational (testing his claims rigorously) maybe things could’ve been different. And maybe he could’ve gotten help. But the hard truth is, is that some people with severe mental health may not be helpable.

He “couldn’t handle the Truth.” His mind opened up more than he could tolerate and had psychotic break. He had genuine awakenings but couldn’t integrate them. Awakening doesn’t mean you will be sane or moral. Truth kills us all in the end since Truth is Everything, including the lake he drowned in.

They did. Watch the video I posted in this thread. His long time best friend confirmed it.

Let’s tribute to Connor Murphy guys and watch and share his video on Escaping The Cult of Bodybuilding. The guy had genuine awakenings but sadly did not know how to integrate them. He couldn’t handle the Truth. The Truth killed him.

This has to be real:

If this is fake, then all the YouTube commentaries on this will tank their reputation. However, there is still no official report.

@Leo Gura I was mistaken. It seems like he really did die. RIP This video I think had a deeper analysis.

Maybe I am overly skeptical. But I am not convinced this guy was a long-term friend just because he says he was. We shall wait and find out.

Here is what a couple news articles I am reading have stated on the matter: “However, as of now, there is no confirmation of Connor Murphy's death from his family or representatives.”

I actually don’t believe this. Watching Connor’s videos, this is probably another stunt to troll his audiences. Until we have an official report, this is BS. If it is real, then that would actually be a shock. The guy cried wolf too much that I don’t believe this. I wouldn’t take this seriously guys until we have an official report.

I wanted to share a cool game from my childhood. It has the best lightsaber combat in all the Star Wars video games I’ve ever played. Anybody played this game? It has the best multiplayer still after 20+ years! It is still very active. If you are interested in playing this game, you can find out more about it on https://jofacademy.eu/

Peter Ralston would disagree. In his book, he holds the idea of an objective reality outside of your current perceptive-experience that he calls Consciousness-Existence. Peter Ralston would say there is no ultimate purpose/meaning since it is all human invention. Ralston made some really good physicalist arguments.

It seems comparable to Skyrim. When you turn your head on Skyrim, new stuff appears. If I turn my back against an enemy, I can no longer see him. But he can still attack me. That enemy has no more visual existence, but the game is still rendering him being me (object permanence).

The colors and visuals disappear but the objects are still there only accessible by my other senses. I can close my eyes and my bed is no longer seen, but I can feel it and lay on it. The same with a lake, ocean, and with other people. I still have a visual concept in my mind of what a bed and lake look like. If another person closed their eyes, went blind, and said visuals cease to exist, I would tell them that they do for you but the visual world still exists for me, and the blind person is missing out on it. The visual world doesn’t cease to exist, their consciousness becomes inaccessible to it. The same analogy can be applied to other senses and even to awakening. The whole world isn’t awake but yet awakening still exists. What is your objection to this?
