RSD Julian: anti-enlightenment rant

[StarStruck]

From 32:30 on.

I actually thought Julian was heading towards the absolute. 

He says that only because he has a big veil of maya. The moment he tastes true light, he will see how drunk and foolish were his ideas.

This man has very feminine arms. Kinda distracting.

Lol

A good demonstration of foolishness

Is being asleep really embracing life though? Is that really life?

If you think that this is an 'anti-enlightenment' rant, then I'm afraid that you have missed the whole point of his speech, my friend.

What he is saying in that video is that 'enlightenment' is not about stopping to live life; on the contrary, it's about fully embracing life and having a blast going through all of its ups and downs (which is essentially the exact same thing that someone like Alan Watts always talked about).

In other words: Chop wood, carry water, and enjoy every second of it.

Brilliant video, love it. Thanks for sharing!

Skip that. Interested in learning from Julian how to pull  chicks in. Later I will learn spiritual stuff too. 

Yeah I know still adolescent, need to learn from someone whom mastered life experience. 

Have no time, drinking knowledge baby.

All that you can get for free by yourself 

Don't tell anyone I told you that.

There is some truth to what he is saying.

His audience is at the level where they need to get their basic shit handled. Get some social skills, self esteem and material success, and by trying to "transcend" this phase by making a big leap towards chasing enlightment is a common pitfall and amateur move.

I had fallen in that trap before as well, being naive and lacking critical thinking skills, I subscribed to idea that some people I followed pushed that " Enlightment"  and overall " Spirituallity " will "solve all your problems". I legit meditated my ass off and did one thing at a time to promote mindfulness for a year thinking it would get me laid lmao.

TLDR : Useful paradigm for people at a certain level of development. But then it's down to each indivitual to break off to higher ground and seek further. The way he frames it is not putting Spirituallity on hold. He's po-pooing it as a pitfall. Meh.

Lets skip that topic all together. 

Healing from mob phase. 

Sweet dreams baby sweet dreams.... Oh yes Julian life coaching forgot. 

Ruined my chances for that yoga session  with Connor GD.

How exactly is he po-pooing Spirituallity? By not catering to your own narrow idea of it?

Enightenment is complete freedom, baby. It's not about "you should do this" and "you shouldn't do that"; it is the dropping of all shoulds. It's about being fully immersed in the game of life while simultaneously being fully aware of the fact that you are just playing a game that doesn't have any fixed rules nor a prescribed objective that is somehow 'better' than any other possible objectives. - And even that isn't to be taken as a commandmend which is somehow set in stone! You are perfectly free to immerse yourself so much in the game that you completely forget your own freedom. After all, isn't that exactly what God is doing whenever it hypnotizes itself into the Ego dream state in order to spice things up a little bit?

Impossible. "As life is, it is enlightened."

[Leo Gura]

Julian has no clue what enlightenment or nonduality is.

And if you take him seriously, neither will you.
