Your psycho-philosophy is built on good logic. And this is the view I lived by for the first 52 years of my life, and I lived my life as epically and meaningfully as I could. Then I got “terminal cancer”. It was a fierce battle to stay alive for my family. I died twice in a hospital (NDE). For months I lived minutes from death. As a result I am alive and a survivor, but permanently physically broken, which after time I have accepted and even embraced. Virtually every single passion in life I can no longer do, yet I have found that I can wake every morning in physical agony and still embrace the day with gratitude for living another one. At the same time I could die any day - not just out of randomness, but because my health declines. And the point of my comment is that I know death and I am no longer afraid of him. He is a friend I will readily embrace when he comes. So I say to everyone, it’s possible for you to do the same - and embrace life without fear. But you’ll have to earn that self knowledge; it’s not like buying a coke from a vending machine. Live your life to the fullest. Explore yourself to the core. Make who others think you are, who you think you are, and who you really are be all the same thing. Namaste🌿
@@marcmckenzie5110 super touching story man, thank you for sharing that It’s not often you hear from someone in your position who speaks with such strength and calm, you got heart brother!! Truly inspiring, but that does suck about the agony and pain, the fact you can still be greatful for life despite the pain speaks volumes about your soul, I hope the pain eases ❤️

@@Decton yeah same thing, I'm not scared of death, I'm scared of the pain of dying lol. Don't care if I die or not but just the pain. If there was no pain, I would've died earlier.
@@detox3330 that's not how time limits on a demo work. If sleep was a free trial, death would be infinite. I mean, I like your idea, but it doesn't feel quite right in this metaphor
It’s so true I know a man who worked his ass off slaving away at a job through out his whole 20’s expecting to live to see retirement. Slipped down some stairs and died at the age of 32.
You will be famous in near future. I truly believe that. Your content is unlike anything I've seen before. Thank you for your work, keep going brother.
Well sh*t. Decades of building my ability to feel self-pity down the drain in under 12 minutes. Thanks a lot Angelo. You can stop doubting if your messages are getting through, are making a difference. Holy sh*t they're making a difference. You've no idea how huge of a difference you've already made. ❤ Keep communicating your message. It's working wonders. This one changed my life earlier this month.
"A man has two lives, the second begins when he understands that he only has one" -- Confucius. I received this quote from a friend a couple of weeks ago. You've done a great job of communicating the same message.
@@PySimpleGUI NO WAY. BRO!! Again?!?! You honestly made my Christmas man thank you so much for this I love that quote from Confucius, I relate to it a lot since my life is very much split in two; my life before I nearly died, and my life since then. The latter is miles better. I hope you know how big of an effect and how well timed your donations have been today I wish you all the best for 2025 man you deserve the best year. Dope videos btw!
@@AngeloSomers I can relate to the quote in an extremely similar way that you can. I've been counting the days since my second life began. I have a program that's always running on my desktop that shows the number of days and the percentage of my life it represents since then. It's less than 7% of my life. I don't think I've "lived" as much in any other 7% of my life (I'm old so it's over 1,000 days). Sometimes it's seeing something from someone like yourself that kicks off these life-changing transformations. I see comments that tell me you've done it for more than 1 person.
Ive faced death many times. Both from uncontrollable situations like having cancer twice before 40, and my own actions like the messed up situations I put myself in when I was suffering from depression. Maybe thats why I dont belive I fear being dead. I am, however, definitely not looking forward to dying..... "Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. Its the transition that is troublesome..."
my brother in christ, are you aware that you make the same kind of content as another bright and smart british fella named exurb1a? and by that i do not mean that you copy him, i mean that i fucking love his videos in the same exact way that i loved this one. keep it up cause this was great content and i think you deserve the same amount of success as him

Written in the heart of every atom. All it said was, "There is no 'Big Yes,' coming. We only have each other. Stay kind. Walk good. Be."
I needed this. As someone who had strong bouts of death anxiety since their teens, and imagining ‘death’ and understanding that it wouldn’t even be the feeling I’m imagining - it took a lot of work to get through this fear spiral or self preservation. But that’s exactly it. Imagining death isn’t conducive to life/living. Great points and energy in this video.
Wrong. Only the man who understands Death and embraces it without fear can be fully and truly alive. Being aware of the imminence of Death clarifies and intensifies experience and makes thinking real because it will stop soon. Denying Death just makes the moment of Death just that much more terrifying. This guy has book smarts but he has no clue about coming to Death. I wonder how many dead bodies he has recovered in rescue work? Why wait until you are lying on your Death Bed to resolve your life?
@ Well exactly - don’t wait all your life to resolve your life, when you can start making resolves now. You can’t deny death either, completely agree - but there’s also no reason to fixate on an unavoidable event in the unknown future. Let it grant you perspective, help build values. But trying to imagine it, is futile. Acceptance is much more rewarding. And understanding that this whole ‘living’ thing is temporary helps make sure you don’t waste it. In theory. Although I’d argue that denying death is pretty great and makes death less terrifying. Live like there’s no tomorrow. And treat every day as a gift because, in theory, when I don’t exist, not existing won’t be MY problem. So I might get hit by a bus tomorrow. But dead me can deal with that problem. No need for alive me to deal with dead me things. Alive me just has to focus on being healthy, and cycling safe, for example. And when death happens it won’t have a chance to be terrifying because I lived in the present and did things I deemed important. Dead me can’t be terrified, and alive me wasn’t, so we are all goood. Not sure what your rescue work comment leads to, but I am sure that line of work is harrowing and mentally tough as well as desensitising. Kudos to anyone who does that work
No it’s been said before. This is just repackaged or ripped off if you like. For example you have oreos (original) & neo (Lidl rip off of oreo) sometimes it tastes better when it’s cheaper 😂
Let me add to your narrative. I died. 2012. Many times I slipped into the black, only to pull myself back out (when the alarms went off in the ER). But, when I made the conscious decision to go, an eye shaped blue-ringed portal opened between me and the door. I was catapulted past my feet towards the eye INTO a white obelisk. Ego, fear, personalization, pain, hope, desire... everything "human" was left behind. I felt at peace and at home, although the pace and automation of the process were perplexing. I had the sensation of being a single cell or atom in a larger (crystalline?) structure. My vision was a cyclopian perspective. Hexagonal like a beehive and fuzzy around the edges. I perceived my new "body" to be feminine ... Mother LOVE. Next to me on my right was a twin, a black Obelisk with double termination. Father TRUTH. We were in a golden chamber, vaguely egg-shaped. Lower down and in front was a "movie screen" , but black, with black drapes. On it a squiggle moved, this i understood to be my "life". I emoted my last remaining thought, my responsibilities in life... my family. I was shown my daughter ten years in the future. Through the eyes of a cat. We didn't have a cat in 2012. I was judged. "HASN'T LOVED ENOUGH!" in a voice like thunder in a place without sound. In 2022, my daughter cut and dyed her hair exactly as i was shown. Two days ago we sent our cat back to IT, sudden liver cancer. IT is us. We are IT. DEATH. Life was like turning off an old TV. The screen zeros out to a singularly point of residual glow. The sound dies. All that is left is a happy melancholy feeling that you will miss the characters. That the images and poignant moments were beautiful and perfect. That you hope the story continues forver in another universe. If I had to make a guess, the black one is what we call god. To return there is to be re-absorbed into the dark. To maintain something of your individuality is the christ path. To "meet the father" you must become the light. The mirror. Because YOU are god. [To paraphrase Alan Watts]
How do you have so much wisdom at such a young age? You have literally inspired me to make content for my kids to watch for when they get older, musings and things I've learn along the way. You are really talented and I hope you continue

Your videos bring me so much peace. I've recently been stuck in a paralyzing anxiety pit over the fragility of life by imagining the day of my death. I'm afraid of leaving this world with regrets/not being able to see my family grow and see the world change. I realized that its not so much a fear of death itself (rational to say I will never experience it consciously though my consciousness likes to try to picture it) but the 'missing out on life' (FOMO af) and the ways the world will change. I have been severely depressed more of my teen/young adult years wishing I could just die to end the suffering, but I woke up one day and realized that life is incredibly precious and I actually love it so much that I don't want to lose it... I feel lucky that the burden of recognizing my mortality has a more positive spin to act and be empowered rather than consume me. I know it's not easy for many and I may one day wake up and be so overwhelmed to a new degree that it kills me! but for now I can live. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. Crazy timing that you posted this when you did! Sending love
This might be the most important TH-cam video that any person could watch. It’s an absolute shame that it hasn’t reached more people. I feel a profound sense of relief. There’s so many things in life that people, myself included, would never do without this perspective. I’m not saying it will be an overnight change, but I really want to change my mindset to align with this more.
Whoa Lad, love the take... i have always thought that when i die , i will not really know about it, with one caveat, i either will know everything or nothing and either way, i am ok wit it
My body went supernova and just exploded out into Infinity. It was like I was an ice cube thrown into the ocean and it just melted. This was by far the most incredible and most positive and most joyful experience that you could possibly imagine. That was the moment of death and I had the Epiphany that death is the greatest thing that could happen to a living creature because it feels like in that process of dying for a split second it's terrifying because you're dying and you have no idea what's coming next. But then as you fully let go and the death occurs the next Split Second you're so relieved. It's like your entire life was this giant thousand pound weight wrapped around your shoulders just tons and tons of weight and then all of it was just lifted in a split second and you realize that you're untouchable and that you're Immortal and that nothing could ever disturb you again. It's complete peace just utter peace and joy and profundity. The beauty of it is Indescribable. How is it possible. There's no way that this is possible. Did I really just die? How could that be? I'm laughing and I'm smiling 😂
This is what is called the unio mystica or the mystical union. It is a common experience of the mystics around the world and fairly known about in psychology. I hope this gives you some info to find out more about your experience.
Amazing I also had a similar experience leaving my body and it was so calm, peaceful and loving. I didn’t want to come back lol. Look into Near Death Experiences you’ll find your answers there :)
"We’re all going to die, all of us; what a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing." - Charles Bukowski -
i’m sorry, i still don’t get what you mean by “never happens to them” :[ i’m scared of losing everything i have and never being able to experience again, but that’ll happen eventually?
@angular_aesthetics 1.we don't own anything we just borrow 2.never happens to them means we don't experience it, sure we experience illness or accident etc but the after is not an experience. The mere thought that dying is not the problem because it doesn't matter, the problem is living. Living happens to us not death. We don't experience the death we experience living. So I'm not really worried now about dying because living is my problem to solve to find out whats fullfiling to me. And anything is only meaningful/valuable if it's ends. If everyone around you wouldn't die you wouldn't really value them,like they'll be here forever whats the point of making things right I will do it later. We will never pursue anything because there's always time. Though I get it end of experience is a bummer I would still like to have atleast 200-300 years to live to do everything that I find valuable and fullfiling,not the pleasurable activities because they are not fullfiling. But once it was infinite year but that would be terrifying and boring then it was 2000 years but it's also fucking alot. Now I am 200-300 years. It is just accepting your death ,I will get at accepting 70-80 years sooner hopefully. For some reason death doesn't bother me much because it's meaningless for me, living bothers me, and suffering bothers me, I was so against suffering because I will die and why I have to experience meaningless suffering was my issue. But then I understood the function of suffering. Suffering is a compass pointing south and north is fullfillment. Suffering makes us go towards whats valuable and meaning. And about end..."A thing isn't beautiful because it lasts" for me it's meaningful because it ends.

@@angular_aestheticsit'll happen but since there wont be any "you" to experience things, you can't experience your own death. Death is the thing that make us non-existent. And it wont happen to you. But you will be dead eventually.
8:19 you can reject your suffering, thus stop suffering. its called "living in denial" you just deny reality and live in your mind world were you don't suffer. (the problem with that is that you also don't experience anything, no pleasure at all, that's called depression)
Great video! An easy way to imagine death: Death is just like doing to sleep. The only difference is that you wake up in the morning Death is literally less then nothing. Imagining nothing is not it since there is your imagination there and true nothingness is less then that. Our potential of what we could be and our desires to be is what it is hard to let go.
Except you’ve never actually died so you don’t actually know what it’s like. Maybe there is an after life or maybe there is just less than nothingness. Or maybe still death doesn’t really exist at all and when you reach it you just go in a temporary hibernation state until the universe resets itself and eventually you as well as I and everyone is just doomed to repeat the same life over and over again for eternity, blithely unaware of this fact. Just seems strange to speculate on the greatest unknown of the universe like you have some absolute knowledge of it.
@lhays117 close your eyes ... and you are still there right? Now close your mind as well and become one with the color that you never saw before. Thats the nothingness you become when you die. I cant experiance death but i can experience me without myself. Not experiencing anything like in dreamless sleep is as close as you can get to that :)
Something about death being the same sort of state as the time before you were born. Not a scary blackness rather being one with the universe. Returning to where to came from. Very Alan Watts as an idea but seems apt. Nice video by the way.
The idea that animals are not aware of their mortality is a debated topic in science and philosophy. Most animals likely do not have the same abstract understanding of death as humans do. However, some animals show behaviors that suggest a certain awareness of mortality: 1. Mourning Behavior: Elephants, dolphins, and certain primates exhibit mourning rituals or show distress when a group member dies, suggesting they recognize death in some form. 2. Self-Preservation Instincts: Animals have strong survival instincts, which could imply a basic awareness of threats that could end their lives, even if they don't conceptualize "death" as humans do. 3. Cognitive Complexity: Highly intelligent animals, such as great apes, crows, and some cetaceans, may have some level of awareness of death, as they show signs of understanding loss and fear of harm. While animals may not ponder death in a philosophical sense or anticipate their eventual demise as humans do, their behaviors suggest they are not entirely unaware of the concept of death or its consequences.
Hey man I've been really struggling with my mortality due a while, and i can't say this video cured me but it definitely have me a perspective I've never entirely considered and i think it will be incredibly helpful to me finding a way out of my despair about my mortality.
Love this, as it chimes with what I've been thinking for a while now---namely that if death is nonexistence (if consciousness is generated by our brain processing incoming information and when the brain dies our consciousness dies), we can be aware that we are dying, but we will never be aware that we are dead. Once we are dead we aren't aware of the fact or that we were ever alive. A liberating thought.
5:10 "its impossible to be non-existent since to be is a statement of existence." this quote relies on one assumption; that consciousness and life are one and the same. i really, really hope that assumption is correct.

Another brilliant work! You are amazing, keep it up! This type of philosophical yet introspective and brilliant content has the potential to become one of a kind
This is a beautiful, cosmic, perspective shifting experience, all in a 15 minute video. Death truly is a motivator if you let it be, good or bad, it will always influence you, so why not have some fun and take risks.
I really do believe Carl Jung's quote, " "Life really begins at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research." With that said I am 7 years old, lol. No, I mean it though. I spent most of my life clueless to what I am discovering now. Each tramatic event will cut and polish a facet on the rough diamond that is you. My diamond has many beautiful facets that I am proud of. I have learned not to fear my death. I am on a long path of total solitude in search of my flaws as to correct them. Someday the right woman will see me shine.
10:46 this reminds me, I’ve got a friend she’s in her mid seventies and said “I’m in my last decade, so if I start acting funny and forget things please tell me” she also said when we were talking about over self conscious people “what other people think of me is none of my business” I just thought I’d add that
All the, "why be afraid cuz you'll be dead and unaware and incapable of suffering" stuff does little to manage my terror. The idea of, more accurately, the cold hard fact that death means to not 'be' anymore is what I'm hung up on.
"...never make it out at all..." You live until you don't. Life is the mission, or journey. It is where you succeed and fail, over and over or not at all. Why fear what you cannot fathom? Why fear what you cannot avoid? Either do, or do not, there is no place for fear or regret because it takes away from every last breath, every last moment of joy, love, excitement, that is to be found right here in life.
So i popped into life outa nowhere. No concept of time because I was nothing, this means I appeared just as quick as I was non-existant. So after I die, there is a chance I will be reborn again. Time will march on forever like it always has and I will again appear as something. Maybe a human, cat, or some type of weird alien creature out in the infinite void of space. All I know is that it happened once, because I am alive. This means it has more than a 0% chance of happening again.
I'm not a supporter of terror management theory, but I don't think it tries to argue that people are afraid of physical death. I think it's about the existential dread of not existing. Kamikaze pilots and others like them are willing to do die for something larger than themselves, because they are able to anchor their existence onto something larger (their country, community, god, etc.). And it works, as they're all remembered as heroes or monsters for a long time after their death.
I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid humanity won't understand the meaning of life. The meaning of life is life itself, not work until you can save enough money to not work. What we do, and have been doing for thousands of years, is BS. If you don't know what happened before you, you'll never understand whats happening now. We should be able to live our lives, period. We don't though. I know the majority of you will still set that alarm tomorrow to go make more money for someone else than you will ever make in your lifetime. The rest are outliers, business owners, and the rich. Until the majority stand up for a better world, keep licking those boots and setting those alarms.

"A man has two lives, the second begins when he understands that he only has one" -- Confucius. I received this quote from a friend a couple of weeks ago. You've done a great job of communicating the same message.
@@PySimpleGUI NO WAY. BRO!! Again?!?! You honestly made my Christmas man thank you so much for this
I love that quote from Confucius, I relate to it a lot since my life is very much split in two; my life before I nearly died, and my life since then. The latter is miles better.
I hope you know how big of an effect and how well timed your donations have been today
I wish you all the best for 2025 man you deserve the best year. Dope videos btw!
@@AngeloSomers I can relate to the quote in an extremely similar way that you can. I've been counting the days since my second life began. I have a program that's always running on my desktop that shows the number of days and the percentage of my life it represents since then. It's less than 7% of my life. I don't think I've "lived" as much in any other 7% of my life (I'm old so it's over 1,000 days). Sometimes it's seeing something from someone like yourself that kicks off these life-changing transformations. I see comments that tell me you've done it for more than 1 person.
"Make the stuff of life become the point of life"
That phrase is amazing
Ive faced death many times. Both from uncontrollable situations like having cancer twice before 40, and my own actions like the messed up situations I put myself in when I was suffering from depression.
Maybe thats why I dont belive I fear being dead. I am, however, definitely not looking forward to dying.....
"Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. Its the transition that is troublesome..."
I have no fear of death. I fear the pain and suffering of dying.
Yes, precisely, or as Woody Allen said, "It's not that I'm afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens."
my brother in christ, are you aware that you make the same kind of content as another bright and smart british fella named exurb1a? and by that i do not mean that you copy him, i mean that i fucking love his videos in the same exact way that i loved this one. keep it up cause this was great content and i think you deserve the same amount of success as him
Aperture and pursuit of wonder are also similar. Philosophical TH-camrs are awesome, pursuit of wonder is probably my favorite. He has written many books and creates his own stories that have these philosophies

Exurbia is a favourite of mine.
@@lil_skatesskitter you seen his latest video "Then Next Comes"? its an absolute masterpiece in my opinion
@@adammasterx5854@adammasterx5854 "then, they see it - at the bottom of everything nuzzled right between the elctrons and neutrons - A message. A universal message. Written in the heart of every atom. All it said was, "There is no 'Big Yes,' coming. We only have each other. Stay kind. Walk good. Be."
I needed this. As someone who had strong bouts of death anxiety since their teens, and imagining ‘death’ and understanding that it wouldn’t even be the feeling I’m imagining - it took a lot of work to get through this fear spiral or self preservation. But that’s exactly it. Imagining death isn’t conducive to life/living. Great points and energy in this video.
Wrong. Only the man who understands Death and embraces it without fear can be fully and truly alive. Being aware of the imminence of Death clarifies and intensifies experience and makes thinking real because it will stop soon. Denying Death just makes the moment of Death just that much more terrifying.
This guy has book smarts but he has no clue about coming to Death. I wonder how many dead bodies he has recovered in rescue work?
Why wait until you are lying on your Death Bed to resolve your life?
@ Well exactly - don’t wait all your life to resolve your life, when you can start making resolves now. You can’t deny death either, completely agree - but there’s also no reason to fixate on an unavoidable event in the unknown future. Let it grant you perspective, help build values. But trying to imagine it, is futile. Acceptance is much more rewarding. And understanding that this whole ‘living’ thing is temporary helps make sure you don’t waste it. In theory.
Although I’d argue that denying death is pretty great and makes death less terrifying. Live like there’s no tomorrow. And treat every day as a gift because, in theory, when I don’t exist, not existing won’t be MY problem. So I might get hit by a bus tomorrow. But dead me can deal with that problem. No need for alive me to deal with dead me things. Alive me just has to focus on being healthy, and cycling safe, for example. And when death happens it won’t have a chance to be terrifying because I lived in the present and did things I deemed important. Dead me can’t be terrified, and alive me wasn’t, so we are all goood.
Not sure what your rescue work comment leads to, but I am sure that line of work is harrowing and mentally tough as well as desensitising. Kudos to anyone who does that work
your content is one the most unique and authentic I know

Quality is immaculate these days
I have been watching youtube videos since last 15 years, and this is the best video I’ve watched. Thanks for sharing
Let me add to your narrative.
I died. 2012.
Many times I slipped into the black, only to pull myself back out (when the alarms went off in the ER).
But, when I made the conscious decision to go, an eye shaped blue-ringed portal opened between me and the door. I was catapulted past my feet towards the eye INTO a white obelisk.
Ego, fear, personalization, pain, hope, desire... everything "human" was left behind. I felt at peace and at home, although the pace and automation of the process were perplexing. I had the sensation of being a single cell or atom in a larger (crystalline?) structure. My vision was a cyclopian perspective. Hexagonal like a beehive and fuzzy around the edges.
I perceived my new "body" to be feminine ... Mother LOVE.
Next to me on my right was a twin, a black Obelisk with double termination. Father TRUTH.
We were in a golden chamber, vaguely egg-shaped. Lower down and in front was a "movie screen" , but black, with black drapes. On it a squiggle moved, this i understood to be my "life".
I emoted my last remaining thought, my responsibilities in life... my family. I was shown my daughter ten years in the future. Through the eyes of a cat. We didn't have a cat in 2012.
I was judged. "HASN'T LOVED ENOUGH!" in a voice like thunder in a place without sound.
In 2022, my daughter cut and dyed her hair exactly as i was shown.
Two days ago we sent our cat back to IT, sudden liver cancer.
IT is us. We are IT.
DEATH. Life was like turning off an old TV. The screen zeros out to a singularly point of residual glow. The sound dies. All that is left is a happy melancholy feeling that you will miss the characters. That the images and poignant moments were beautiful and perfect. That you hope the story continues forver in another universe.
If I had to make a guess, the black one is what we call god. To return there is to be re-absorbed into the dark. To maintain something of your individuality is the christ path. To "meet the father" you must become the light. The mirror. Because YOU are god.
[To paraphrase Alan Watts]
What a bit of mumbo jumbo that was.
How do you have so much wisdom at such a young age? You have literally inspired me to make content for my kids to watch for when they get older, musings and things I've learn along the way. You are really talented and I hope you continue
Id say its
1. Unlimited knowledge (ok not quite) at your disposal
2. Actually being willing to engage with and think about it
Meditation, life experience, past trauma, questioning life, spirituality, and science can contribute to their wisdom at a young age
Watched 4-5 of your videos by now and I really think that you are very underrated. You talk about complex topics that someone like me really enjoys and really finds helpful. You give me motivation and I hope you don't stop making such interesting and meaningful content.

My guy. Glad it resonated
Your videos bring me so much peace. I've recently been stuck in a paralyzing anxiety pit over the fragility of life by imagining the day of my death. I'm afraid of leaving this world with regrets/not being able to see my family grow and see the world change. I realized that its not so much a fear of death itself (rational to say I will never experience it consciously though my consciousness likes to try to picture it) but the 'missing out on life' (FOMO af) and the ways the world will change. I have been severely depressed more of my teen/young adult years wishing I could just die to end the suffering, but I woke up one day and realized that life is incredibly precious and I actually love it so much that I don't want to lose it... I feel lucky that the burden of recognizing my mortality has a more positive spin to act and be empowered rather than consume me. I know it's not easy for many and I may one day wake up and be so overwhelmed to a new degree that it kills me! but for now I can live. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. Crazy timing that you posted this when you did! Sending love
what a quality, deep and motivational, nice job
This might be the most important TH-cam video that any person could watch. It’s an absolute shame that it hasn’t reached more people. I feel a profound sense of relief. There’s so many things in life that people, myself included, would never do without this perspective. I’m not saying it will be an overnight change, but I really want to change my mindset to align with this more.
LOL It's the same thing said in so many other videos . They all say the same thing but putting it in different ways. It's all over the internet.
The kind of video you wanna watch more than once.
Whoa Lad, love the take... i have always thought that when i die , i will not really know about it, with one caveat, i either will know everything or nothing and either way, i am ok wit it
The best way to visualize death is to not think about it
I remember crying myself to sleep at around 8 when I realised I was going to die. Me lol.
Happy enough that this stoic avoided taxes.
My body went supernova and just exploded out into Infinity. It was like I was an ice cube thrown into the ocean and it just melted. This was by far the most incredible and most positive and most joyful experience that you could possibly imagine. That was the moment of death and I had the Epiphany that death is the greatest thing that could happen to a living creature because it feels like in that process of dying for a split second it's terrifying because you're dying and you have no idea what's coming next. But then as you fully let go and the death occurs the next Split Second you're so relieved. It's like your entire life was this giant thousand pound weight wrapped around your shoulders just tons and tons of weight and then all of it was just lifted in a split second and you realize that you're untouchable and that you're Immortal and that nothing could ever disturb you again. It's complete peace just utter peace and joy and profundity. The beauty of it is Indescribable.
How is it possible. There's no way that this is possible. Did I really just die? How could that be?
I'm laughing and I'm smiling 😂
This is what is called the unio mystica or the mystical union. It is a common experience of the mystics around the world and fairly known about in psychology. I hope this gives you some info to find out more about your experience.
Amazing I also had a similar experience leaving my body and it was so calm, peaceful and loving. I didn’t want to come back lol. Look into Near Death Experiences you’ll find your answers there :)
"We’re all going to die, all of us; what a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing." - Charles Bukowski -
people who live in fear of Their Own Death go their whole lives afraid of something that never happens to them
i’m sorry, i still don’t get what you mean by “never happens to them” :[ i’m scared of losing everything i have and never being able to experience again, but that’ll happen eventually?
@angular_aesthetics 1.we don't own anything we just borrow 2.never happens to them means we don't experience it, sure we experience illness or accident etc but the after is not an experience. The mere thought that dying is not the problem because it doesn't matter, the problem is living. Living happens to us not death. We don't experience the death we experience living. So I'm not really worried now about dying because living is my problem to solve to find out whats fullfiling to me. And anything is only meaningful/valuable if it's ends. If everyone around you wouldn't die you wouldn't really value them,like they'll be here forever whats the point of making things right I will do it later. We will never pursue anything because there's always time. Though I get it end of experience is a bummer I would still like to have atleast 200-300 years to live to do everything that I find valuable and fullfiling,not the pleasurable activities because they are not fullfiling. But once it was infinite year but that would be terrifying and boring then it was 2000 years but it's also fucking alot. Now I am 200-300 years. It is just accepting your death ,I will get at accepting 70-80 years sooner hopefully. For some reason death doesn't bother me much because it's meaningless for me, living bothers me, and suffering bothers me, I was so against suffering because I will die and why I have to experience meaningless suffering was my issue. But then I understood the function of suffering. Suffering is a compass pointing south and north is fullfillment. Suffering makes us go towards whats valuable and meaning. And about end..."A thing isn't beautiful because it lasts" for me it's meaningful because it ends.

Except it does. It happens to everyone, and often slowly. Sure, fearing it is a waste of time, but denying that it's happening is foolish, too.
@@angular_aestheticsit'll happen but since there wont be any "you" to experience things, you can't experience your own death. Death is the thing that make us non-existent. And it wont happen to you. But you will be dead eventually.
8:19 you can reject your suffering, thus stop suffering. its called "living in denial" you just deny reality and live in your mind world were you don't suffer. (the problem with that is that you also don't experience anything, no pleasure at all, that's called depression)
interesting take on depression, where can I learn more about this?
I'd argue a Buddhist monk and many Christian monks as well knows a lot more about joy than we do. They have learned how not to run from the present.
Great video!
An easy way to imagine death:
Death is just like doing to sleep. The only difference is that you wake up in the morning
Death is literally less then nothing. Imagining nothing is not it since there is your imagination there and true nothingness is less then that.
Our potential of what we could be and our desires to be is what it is hard to let go.
Except you’ve never actually died so you don’t actually know what it’s like. Maybe there is an after life or maybe there is just less than nothingness. Or maybe still death doesn’t really exist at all and when you reach it you just go in a temporary hibernation state until the universe resets itself and eventually you as well as I and everyone is just doomed to repeat the same life over and over again for eternity, blithely unaware of this fact. Just seems strange to speculate on the greatest unknown of the universe like you have some absolute knowledge of it.
@lhays117 close your eyes ... and you are still there right? Now close your mind as well and become one with the color that you never saw before. Thats the nothingness you become when you die.
I cant experiance death but i can experience me without myself.
Not experiencing anything like in dreamless sleep is as close as you can get to that :)
I love your content Angelo
Something about death being the same sort of state as the time before you were born. Not a scary blackness rather being one with the universe. Returning to where to came from. Very Alan Watts as an idea but seems apt. Nice video by the way.
The idea that animals are not aware of their mortality is a debated topic in science and philosophy. Most animals likely do not have the same abstract understanding of death as humans do. However, some animals show behaviors that suggest a certain awareness of mortality:
1. Mourning Behavior: Elephants, dolphins, and certain primates exhibit mourning rituals or show distress when a group member dies, suggesting they recognize death in some form.
2. Self-Preservation Instincts: Animals have strong survival instincts, which could imply a basic awareness of threats that could end their lives, even if they don't conceptualize "death" as humans do.
3. Cognitive Complexity: Highly intelligent animals, such as great apes, crows, and some cetaceans, may have some level of awareness of death, as they show signs of understanding loss and fear of harm.
While animals may not ponder death in a philosophical sense or anticipate their eventual demise as humans do, their behaviors suggest they are not entirely unaware of the concept of death or its consequences.
Did you get this from ChatGPT? lol
Hey man I've been really struggling with my mortality due a while, and i can't say this video cured me but it definitely have me a perspective I've never entirely considered and i think it will be incredibly helpful to me finding a way out of my despair about my mortality.
Love this, as it chimes with what I've been thinking for a while now---namely that if death is nonexistence (if consciousness is generated by our brain processing incoming information and when the brain dies our consciousness dies), we can be aware that we are dying, but we will never be aware that we are dead. Once we are dead we aren't aware of the fact or that we were ever alive. A liberating thought.
5:10 "its impossible to be non-existent since to be is a statement of existence." this quote relies on one assumption; that consciousness and life are one and the same. i really, really hope that assumption is correct.
Honestly one of the best TH-cam vids I’ve seen this year. Very profound. Instant subscribe.

This is a beautiful, cosmic, perspective shifting experience, all in a 15 minute video. Death truly is a motivator if you let it be, good or bad, it will always influence you, so why not have some fun and take risks.

I really do believe Carl Jung's quote, " "Life really begins at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research." With that said I am 7 years old, lol. No, I mean it though. I spent most of my life clueless to what I am discovering now. Each tramatic event will cut and polish a facet on the rough diamond that is you. My diamond has many beautiful facets that I am proud of. I have learned not to fear my death. I am on a long path of total solitude in search of my flaws as to correct them. Someday the right woman will see me shine.
very mind opening thanks!
Imagine if 8 billion people lived life to the full. There’d be sky divers all over the place.
I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10:46 this reminds me, I’ve got a friend she’s in her mid seventies and said “I’m in my last decade, so if I start acting funny and forget things please tell me” she also said when we were talking about over self conscious people “what other people think of me is none of my business”
I just thought I’d add that
All the, "why be afraid cuz you'll be dead and unaware and incapable of suffering" stuff does little to manage my terror. The idea of, more accurately, the cold hard fact that death means to not 'be' anymore is what I'm hung up on.
"...never make it out at all..." You live until you don't. Life is the mission, or journey. It is where you succeed and fail, over and over or not at all. Why fear what you cannot fathom? Why fear what you cannot avoid? Either do, or do not, there is no place for fear or regret because it takes away from every last breath, every last moment of joy, love, excitement, that is to be found right here in life.
Oh yeah, beautifully put together. I really like it.
So i popped into life outa nowhere. No concept of time because I was nothing, this means I appeared just as quick as I was non-existant. So after I die, there is a chance I will be reborn again. Time will march on forever like it always has and I will again appear as something. Maybe a human, cat, or some type of weird alien creature out in the infinite void of space. All I know is that it happened once, because I am alive. This means it has more than a 0% chance of happening again.
my god this is incredible content.
the fact life is finite gives life it's meaning
This is the 1st ever video I saw of you, just now. I'll stay around
“Sleep is the cousin of death”
I'm not a supporter of terror management theory, but I don't think it tries to argue that people are afraid of physical death. I think it's about the existential dread of not existing. Kamikaze pilots and others like them are willing to do die for something larger than themselves, because they are able to anchor their existence onto something larger (their country, community, god, etc.). And it works, as they're all remembered as heroes or monsters for a long time after their death.
i suffer from temporal dissociation so i feel like it takes hundreds of years to just get past one
I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid humanity won't understand the meaning of life. The meaning of life is life itself, not work until you can save enough money to not work. What we do, and have been doing for thousands of years, is BS. If you don't know what happened before you, you'll never understand whats happening now.
We should be able to live our lives, period.
We don't though. I know the majority of you will still set that alarm tomorrow to go make more money for someone else than you will ever make in your lifetime. The rest are outliers, business owners, and the rich. Until the majority stand up for a better world, keep licking those boots and setting those alarms.
