“WHAT IS THE ILLUSION?!”

Golden! Another one, closely related to your topic:

 

From 4:12 onward. "what is this nonsense that you dont exist?" 

Getting lost in the theory-trap is a sneaky one. You are precicely what you feel and believe you are, but you are always free to challenge your feelings and assumptions until maybe something happens and you don't feel that way anymore. Maybe

Man... Ralston is something else, you can tell something special in his eyes and body-language.

This dude is perfect for intellectual types that get lost in concepts and theorems

Ive seen quite a few of his videos this past hour, he's really good at sort of snapping people out of the intellectual, into the experience

He does this dynamically and with love, cause enlightenment is ultimately experience which cannot be put into words quite simply

Many people awaken and approach enlightenment with a scientific mind, like if they get know all the answers on the test they will pass, or if they can come up with an eloquant and sophisticated "thesis" they are closer to the truth, is is deeply ingrained education by society, it almost seems like a college enlightenment

He seems to be able to call people on that in a blunt, playful and no nonsense sorta way

His book is way more complex than it needs to be.

Not only that but it's long as fuck.

[Rilles]

@Shin Which book? I dont remember Book of Not Knowing being too complex

[Charlotte]

His body language and facial expressions just scream jack Nicholson ?

[non_nothing]

You don't get there're a lot different versions of you that you'll like and enjoy

@Arkandeus

OH I thought you meant it sarcasticly when you said "This dude is perfect for intellectual types that get lost in concepts and theorems"  so my "opposite" was actually what turned out to be your line of thinking also. What a plot twist, we were agreeing all along  O-O

Reminds me of a quote

The brilliance of not pursing brilliance with “cosmology” is brilliant. ❤️ Ralston.

Not complex in the sense that it's hard to understand.

It feels like he struggles to explain simple things, and write dozens more page about a subject than it is necessary because of that.

Which in the end makes the comprehension harder than it needs to be.

Peter Ralston is quite direct in his approach - remember he was once shouting in the face of a kid "WAKE UP, STOP PRETENDING, WAKE THE FUCK UP". 
 

I love the guy.
