- In this video I talk more about the concept of oneness, and try to explain my issue with the typical popular notions of it. I don't feel I was able to fully express what I wanted to, but I tried!

One thing I forgot to mention in this video: I think some states that we experience (on drugs or otherwise) can serve as really useful reference points.
For example, when taking MDMA, the profound sense of euphoria and empathy you experience can really open your mind to the possibilities of your day-to-day, sober life. But that doesn't necessarily mean it would be good to be in that state all the time.
The kind of paranoid, insecure, ego-melting thoughts you have on weed can help some people break down barriers in their mind, especially people who might be mean, arrogant, etc. But again, whilst the "WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER DONE AND SAID WAS WRONG AND LIFE IS SCARY??!!" thoughts might be useful to tap into at times, it's clearly not good to feel that way all the time.
So, these thoughts, visions or experiences of oneness (and any other adjacent concepts) that can be beautiful to some and terrifying to others might simply serve as a useful reference point. Something that enables you to think more deeply, to have greater perspective, to understand your own existence more. They aren't necessarily ideas or feelings that should be indulged excessively, but rather ones that might provide some useful insight elsewhere.
The ideas begin at around 5:02, for anyone who wants to skip the introduction.
Agree with the idea that isn't our place to attempt to understand these questions. It is like trying to picture infinity or the edge of the universe. The human brain just glitches out when you try.
There's a different set of questions for us, focused on how we deal with ourselves and relate to each other, other creatures and the planet.
I totally agree. I think this is where the concept of faith comes in. In the same way that when you're a kid you kind of have to just stfu and trust your parents (assuming they are trustworthy enough for you to do so), similarly as a human I find it best to just appreciate what we have and have faith that it means something. Speculation is fine, but anything beyond that feels like going above our stations.
Same wave length bro, because I can’t have a conversation I will just go over my views on your LSD trip and take what you will.
I’ve always believed in Karma, super atheist but believe in 2 forces of energy, I think we all have our own perception on these multiple metaphors for the unknown.
My experience on LSD was similar, I saw everything from my past and had a weird emotional connection to my future. Everything all at once. A single point of unison. The over all emotion I felt was so far beyond possible I couldn’t comprehend it, my brain can no longer comprehend it. It was a one time experience, a message if you will.
I take each trip as an awakening, a different perspective on reality as it is. Its helped me with addiction, laziness etc. but over all it gave me a sense of value. I had the exact same feeling, when LSD makes the world seem dull and “fake”. Like everyone is blind to the truth. Like no one is aware that they are just walking around doing something for someone else. Then I realised that the whole time, your brain is battling with what you want and what other people expect.
Your subconscious (filled with other peoples opinions and lessons) comes to the front of your consciousness and is malleable into whatever you wish it to be if you focus on it.
It’s a sense of free will, you are one and only. Your alone, your consciousness is yours and you own it. I don’t really know if what I am saying matters or connects with that experience but I would love your thoughts.
Yeah, the two forces of energy thing seems very accurate. Sometimes I think the universe is comprised of competing energies that balance one another out, for example order and chaos. It's really the only way things can continue, without one energy overwhelming the other. Male and female.
The world being fake thing seems to come up a LOT on LSD, but in different ways. As in, different levels and different types of fakeness. Sometimes it's "the whole universe is fake" and sometimes it's "this social situation I'm in is fake" - the fact that I've had this feeling in such vastly different contexts with such vastly different implications and potential scales makes me think that might just be something to do with the drug, some particular aspect of what it does to the brain that makes things seem not real. Something like face blindness, but for life. Perhaps when you have all these weird visual effects going on, your sense of reality changes and it's hard to see things as real.
As for the last part, I don't fully understand, can you explain a bit more?
That same joy of separation you mention, about the even maybe cosmic importance of individuality was first introduced to western philosophy by Johann Gottfried Herder, in his very influential but now forgotten book "God: Some conversations"; maybe it interests you.
I'll check it out. Any choice quotes or ideas from it you can share?
New BigDome! Downloading for the commute later.
The pizza analogy is appreciated. I think that when non dualists state we are all “one”, what they really mean is that we are all “one” part of the pizza. Not that we are the whole pizza. Just a part of it.
Similar to how the Earth is separate from the other planets but just because it is doesn’t mean that Earth is not part of the solar system or that we aren’t part of the cosmos.
It’s not really about embracing monotony at all. On the contrary, I think it’s an expression of appreciation for the whole design of G-d, for fellow man and for all the other creatures.
Feeling lonely makes for a great case that we are all separate. But then what would it mean to feel connected?
Great video. 👍
@@wilfred8724 I think it takes on many different forms and shades. Some people see it as a form of connectedness, kind of like the internet, others see it more as literally being God, in the driver's seat, playing different roles like some kind of first person computer game. I think it's a concept that can be taken too far.
I think again the semantics of it can become a bit difficult, because "connected" can become a placeholder for "solitary", and despite seemingly being contradictory terms, they can actually refer to the exact same thing, depending on your perspective on it.
@@BigDome1 Both concepts could be taken too far I think. Do you think that perhaps the separatism wouldn’t lead people to believe that G-d doesn’t exist ?
@@BigDome1 I can see this point as well. “Oneness” being an example. It can be used to describe being alone and separate. But it can also be used to describe being one and inseparable from it all.
@@wilfred8724 yeah definitely, I think it does, I think that's what leads to atheism.
Bro i hv a very important question for u
In a previous video of urs the one bout corn addiction u mentioned that u got circumcised and then restored ur foreskin😢how is that possible explain
Hey dude, there's a lot of ways of doing it. To begin with, it depends on how tight the circumcision was. If it was really tight then you'll need to do a lot of manual stretching (with your hand) before being able to use a device. I used to do this whenever I showered.
If it's fairly loose, then you can go straight into using devices. I used the TLC tugger which I didn't like due to the straps, then later the DTR which was great.
Some people have achieved great results with just manual stretching.
Check out /r/foreskin_restoration/ on reddit and ask for advice on there. There's loads of guides as well.
@@BigDome1 wow thanks dude this gon help me a ton😃i had no idea
@@AstroXBnb you're welcome! Good luck. I only had to get to about halfway before it made a drastic difference. Tbh I'm still not fully restored but just don't really feel the need to continue. I still sleep wearing this thing called the Manhood, which I would highly recommend.
