"You are inside yourself" Strange Loop Video

[Brivido]

One of the best strange loop videos I have found so far, hope you guys enjoy. This video sums up one of my LSD trips, that lasted 8 hours, in less than 3 minutes.

These videos about strange loops - is it possible to use them to gain insights?

Because I honestly still cannot comprehend strange loops. I hear what Leo said about strange loops in his video. But in my experience I cannot find any "evidence" that reality is a strange loop (I practice self-inquiry and meditation for several years now).    

Can you advance in self-inquiry by contemplating strange loops (as a concept and in videos too)? 

Or are they just fun GIFs for those who already confirmed in their experience that reality is a strange loop?

Reminds me of the video game "Everything"

@Naviy There's not much point self-inquiring about strange loops. It's just a neat concept which you can appreciate if you do psychedelics.

Reality isn't really a strange loop, it is Infinity. But when you try to think causually about Infinity you will run into strange loops. Strange loops are the result of a finite mind trying to grasp Infinity.

@Meta-Man What do you think he will gain?

The slight shift in sensual perspective when watching the video comes for me at 0:36 when the zoom enters the molecules of the blood cell. Fascinating infinity representation video! Thanks for sharing and opening about the similarities with your trip.

[remember]

there are strangeloops in thought patterns and there are behavioral strange loops in yourself and others you can become aware of. addictions are strange loops for example. there are also strangeloops in systems - negative selffeeding loops are also strange loops. you can do a lot of self inquiry about these while ultimately breaking free of your worst ones by identifying them. probably psychedelics will make you more aware of such. but without understanding what a strange loop is you probably won’t encounter one - it’s like when you never have seen a kanguru you don’t know what it is you would probably think its the biggest bunny you have ever seen.
