Judging by the rhetoric of your statements that’s arguable

Dude, that was posted 2 weeks ago ? Of course that can be claimed after the fact. He’s stated this relentlessly but provided no prior evidence before his “awakening” further support this. This is basically redundant information.

I respect your opinion. Nonetheless, I urge you to look at things with more nuance and meticulousness than they first appear. This I doubt. I’ve seen much of his previous work and persona long before this. He emanated no sense of spirituality from the many appearances I observed. So many seem to be making myopic assumptions having only known of him for several weeks. I urge those to do some further research.

You are making a false equivalency. One can doubt while still understanding, perspective is not binary. I could say the same to those who vehemently believed otherwise. Why are you not doubting him if all you have is merely the recording of several YouTube clips? All you’ve done is made a gross assumption off the appearance of what you’ve seen. The mirage of water in a desert appears real until it is closely observed to be seen as an illusion. Don’t simply just conclude off the basis of empiricism.

Or could it be that some are just not naive enough to be persuaded off simply viewing a collection of 5 videos? You are are granting him far more privilege than you could ever know. For all you know, he could have the the same level of consciousness as a rock. You just don’t know from simply watching a recording. Possibly, but the good one expects may not be the good they desire. He could implode form the inability to maintain himself.

Not necessarily. One can operate within the illusion of duality through detachment. However, if one’s sense of fulfilment is externally dependent then this is hedonism.

That precisely is the only thing merely keeping him together. If he were to see the futility in all the social media antics he was propagating he would end himself. The access to connective media may be what keeps many alive in this work but it also compounds delusion if not used appropriately. Whatever is required to happen for him will happen.

True. Thats because the one doing the measuring is illusory. Therefore, could never be accurate. One can only approximate probabilistic estimation, which most of us here have done. The futility of the finite self is that it can yes only measure what is subjective. However, measurability ultimately collapses and the reality of things become seen for what they really are, nothing. Thus, measuring turns out to have no more utility than a rock does for you digestive system.

You are beginning to see the futility of the seperate self which limits reality. This is an empowering process, do not deny it. Allow it to purify you

Agreed. It’s a good start but who knows whether he will endure it. Some have committed suicide over such inability to comprehend. I guess awakening is inevitable either way. It’s just whether one wants to enter it consciously or unconsciously.

Agreed but I was referring to his claimed awakening. His expression of it may appear real but his alignment to the absolute does not. Incomprehensibility does not equate to awakening, integration does. To me, he appears to have experienced incomprehensible insight and is now sporadic and fragmented in trying to interpret them. In other words, his level of development does not match his mystical experience. Thus, his mind is having a breakdown due to the inevitable incongruence. Expect one to go insane without the proper foundation.

My thoughts also. It just doesn’t feel genuine. A part of me roots for the dude but my intuition tells me he is heavily deluded.

That’s awesome ? Maybe we should start a dancing thread complex of everyone’s dancing, strictly flow state dancing only ?

Life and the entire reel from which the mind constructs of it is but a story. A story created by the mind to entertain the mind. This may sound nihilistic but when you really conceive of it directly you are afforded the opportunity to detach from stories and create them at will. You seek that life is nothing but a story created from the infinite potentiation of nothingness. My first mystical experience rudely showed this to me. Extremely powerful.

Love this! The power of flow and fluidity. It truly emanates in the throughout ones being so powerfully if they allow it to. Dancing is one such act I find fascinating. In some ways I see people being in their most awakened state when just mindlessly dancing. Had they known that the essence of life is a dance maybe they wouldn’t depend on a club in which to do it.

Indeed. He obviously has encountered insights about this work that his followers are far too deluded to appreciate. Hence, their ignorant and void statements. His audience is equivalent to that of Trumps development from what I could see. Hopefully he finds footing from which to develop.

True. Although I fear an onset of suicide ideation or the like if he fails finding stability. Awakening is extremely powerful and for some, too powerful to bear. What’s most concerning is the audience in which follow him. One holds a level responsibility when commanding that size of audience. You cannot simply be ignorant in the material you produce.

People here are compartmentalising. Ones desperate cry for liberation is not mere entertainment.

Good assessment. I agree. He appears to be experiencing a tumultuous conflictive of dissonance between the insights he has realised and the stage of his present development. It’s far too much for a newbie to try and comprehend. He may very well implode from an incapacity. But my hope is that he moves his way up the spiral.

Fair point. Each to their own I guess. That’s an assumption you‘ve made that I cannot change. I see very little positive in what he has so far shared, that is my personal view. Spirituality masquerading in ego is far more dangerous than ego as itself. Carefully observe his material and you may consider my point. One golden nugget does not justify the earth surrounding it.

No I’d say it is the fool whom acts that demands convincing since that is the point of their acting to begin with. Have a look at what he is doing. The actions he demonstrates reflect a desperate demand for gratification and validation of the awakening he believes he has achieved. Agreed. And I feel my foolishness would only be reinforced had I not not be honest in my critique of him.

Firstly, ultimate freedom is an utter delusion. It is a direct stemming from notions such as liberalism. Ultimate freedom can not be granted to a finite self because they are polar opposites. To be a self one is limited, to have freedom one must be unlimited. Therefore, freedom is impossible from such a position. Interactional and contractional freedom is possible, since it itself is limited. So one can have freedom up until a point it impinges upon a collective consensus. Beyond that point it is selfishness masquerading as freedom. True freedom is consciousness. The only consciousness there is. Freedom of infinite imagination, from which everything exist. To answer you question about America, I’d say partly it desires freedom purely out of greed and power. For to have freedom is to be unrestricted by surrounding forces. Hence, America’s fascination with the military, guns, surveillance and economic precedents. America thrives and operates from a materialistic framework. In the perspective of the collective, this only deludes people into granting their apparent “physical“ experience over the awareness behind it. In other words, people are locked in paradigm wars of materialism because their environment produces it. Who’s materialism is more superior than another’s, that’s all we see in the world at the moment.

I never said he was wrong but that what he speaks is stemming from a spiritual ego. I understand what he stated but you seem to be assuming what one says qualifies their level consciousness. This is absurd. Anyone can mask their level of development with deceptive role play. I’m just not ignorant enough to blindly assume he has some form of monopoly on the path to awakening. He merely entered of recent, why presume he has instantly purified himself of all his delusions? He does not appear awake to me nor does his historical or recent social media presence suggest it. You’re romanticising over ones words rather than the content of their character. I had. I knew of him long before all this side show. He has not at all convinced me. It seems many others have become easily subdued over the course of his 3-5 recent video uploads

I have no idea what will happen. But to me he is doing this all for some fictitious fanatics to entertain his fans. I don’t think the fast is for growth but for “proving” a self-fulfilling point. It’s all for show. An endless media stream that will inevitably construct a malicious ego as a result. He is playing with fire and underestimates the depth of this work. He appears to be playing the role at the moment and seems content in doing so. And sadly, I feel this just gives spirituality a bad wrap. If one has the audacity to flamboyantly pontificate spirituality in such a way reality will violently drag them through more disturbance than they could ever anticipate.

That should be an indication of his spiritual prematurity but also his lack of foundation. It also does not explain away his delusional history and unrest he clearly operates from. Go watch the plethora of previous content he uploaded and then tell me someone simply awakens after one spiritual experience with that type of history. I extremely doubt so. The man is being credited far too much just by his mere social media antics.
