You mentioned how liberating it is to realise you are a fool. When it truly hit me that I effectively knew nothing as a result of being submerged in nonsense from all the usual societal sources I felt lighter and liberated. It makes me wonder if it is like releasing a burden of carrying useless false information. With that weight gone I could think more freely. I do not describe myself as “awake” but I do now know that I am not awake. I now have an increased chance of becoming awake or enlightened by relying on what I can actually know through my own experience. Folks like your good self have helped greatly in that process. Thanks Steven
Perhaps you are a fool and always have been...but realising you are stupid...doesn't make you clever.......it just enforces what people have thought about you for years.....village idiot comes to mind.....😂
You're very welcome. I must admit I was reluctant to consider myself 'awake' for a long time, but I've come to accept that is the proper word for it. It's happening to people all over, in every walk of life. Awakening from deception. It doesn't mean we are enlightened or know everything, but it's a certain shift in perspective, an objectivity, a coming to the senses. But mainly our old beliefs are just no longer believable and we start questioning more.
Just found your channel after listening to your talk in Dundee and having read your book. Inspiring, very well written and completely resonated with me. Using non-fiction science you exposed the science fiction preached by governments and the scientific institutions. Essential reading for the great awakening. ❤️
I had this same realization 20 years ago while performing on stage at a concert. I was 6 years into my music career at the time. I quit almost immediately. I’m not here to play the clown. (I understand the meaning behind the “fool” archetype and can see your brilliance, contrarianism aside 😉)
April 1st is my birthday 🥳 and I agree “I have been known to play the fool” 😂🙏🏻💫 And definitely the contrarian…have been called a fool many times. Meh 😒 Not bovvered 😄😉
Love the book - totally awesome dude! Particularly enjoyed the chapter on 'The Seven' and love that it's on page 214 ( 2+1+4=7 ) and if this was pure coincidence I love it even more! 😂❤
@steven_a_young no, I didn't spot that - that's advanced level maths for me! 😲😂 That just made it way cooler - I'm going to have to read the book again, see what else is hidden in plain sight! ☮️💟
Throwing a contrarian position into the conversation, I expect someone to laugh, say wow, then explore the ideas with the possibility that just maybe I have a point. It NEVER happens.
Stupid only means unknowing as in stupEd.. but when the attitude is to offend out of ego people call people stupid. We have to 'learn' to call ourselves stupid and mean it. Not that it means we are imbeciles obviously. Some people are too touchy and don't read any psychology. Personally we can usually call ourselves an idiot at times when we mess up but if someone else calls us it we may get defensive or at worse hit them or get get knocked out 😅. I've always known I know nothing and lately belief has become as important. Be-LIE-ve . Even lies can be healthy.. the brain doesn't know better. Placebo effect proves lies can heal and the truth can ruin. We all know the truth can be harsh and we don't want to hear it. mostly ego related. Or the truth happens to be wrong which it often is even tho it's been known 'fact' for so long. Advaita explains everything. Physics has the details. Western world are slowly merging with the east tho. I've noticed within the medical profession yoga and mindfulness are encouraged.
enjoyed your book , while at the same time being horrified by the behavior and total lack of intellectual morality of academia .your book should be required reading in all schools.
Aaah yes, the Young clan motto, I read that a few years ago. There doesn't appear to be any remaining Young clan here in Scotland. I found some Canadian and American groups but not sure if it's really what you'd call a clan, just people with same name loosely associated. Good motto though!
yeah they are intertwined, like above and below. Sidereal is very interesting, I think my sidereal chart is a better description of me than my tropical chart, personally.
I don't know Donald Hoffman, but I do have friends who hold this view, that all of reality is a hallucination of sorts. I am currently of the view that the elements, fire, air, earth and water, are objectively real, and preceded human consciousness.
With sonoluminescence, I expect it is the sound that is being transformed into light, due to the rapid increase in pressure from the collapsing bubble. Sound and light are different frequencies of vibration (fire), so they can be transformed into one another.
Really useless stuff - Yes 😁!!! A PhD in Engineering and I'm happily unemployed and unemployable. I get to potter around in my garden and occasionally reflect on how useless academia really is in the real world. Loved the book 🙏
I can relate: I have an undergrad in engineering and have no desire whatsoever to work in the "real world", I work a job that doesn't require a college degree and I'm much happier than I would be otherwise.
I wonder if many great thinkers were probably unemployed. I think school is just a hub for exchanging ideas and for research. It doesn’t usually catapult people in any direction. They choose a direction based on the life that they already know through their parents or peers. Academia can be fun if done correctly. That means taking classes just to produce work that you’re proud of or for enjoyment. It’s not actually meant to get you a job. Yes there are recruiters for jobs at school but any person can reach out to those same recruiters and they’re going to choose that candidate based on a multitude of variables including relatability and likability.
Wait, you are unemployable!?!? I have my Bachelors of Arts and was under the impression that even an undergraduate engineering degree could go a long way let alone a phd!?!?!

Whole family have gone to sleep listening to your genius creation “fools wisdom “ audio version..brilliant! blessings and keep the foolery going 🙏🏼
Loved this video. Love it when algo throws something out of left field.
The fool is the only one that could take the piss out of the king, back in the old days !
yes! And on Saturnalia the fool gets to be king for a day! :)
I had the same awakening recently, similar journey! Very enlightening, and relieving!!!! 💯
Brilliant book, thank you for it Stephen.
Nice insights.
I orderd the book and have been reading it it is a great read TY
Thank you for sharing..saw your great interview on the vobes show..you must do another one.
Just found your channel after listening to your talk in Dundee and having read your book. Inspiring, very well written and completely resonated with me.

Just ordered your book based on your latest video alchemy vs atomism. Excellent
I had this same realization 20 years ago while performing on stage at a concert. I was 6 years into my music career at the time.
I quit almost immediately.
I’m not here to play the clown.

Ah ha! Well spotted!! I didn't plan that actually. Did you also notice that it's chapter 22, and 22/7 = pi
@steven_a_young no, I didn't spot that - that's advanced level maths for me! 😲😂
That just made it way cooler - I'm going to have to read the book again, see what else is hidden in plain sight! ☮️💟
What memories you’ve made on your fascinating life’s journey so far though 👍☺️
Throwing a contrarian position into the conversation, I expect someone to laugh, say wow, then explore the ideas with the possibility that just maybe I have a point. It NEVER happens.
haha yes, I can relate. It's not the best for social conversation.
In my fifties and I've met very few people in my life who responded that way. One I married and another is my son.
I'm a fool too! ❤

Interesting a fool fell into my feed! Where can I hear some music bruv?

i've feel as if the fool represents the purest form of trial and error
Love this!!!

clan's motto, "Robore Prudentia Praestat," which means "Prudence Excels Strength". S.A.Young . Aye!
Aaah yes, the Young clan motto, I read that a few years ago. There doesn't appear to be any remaining Young clan here in Scotland. I found some Canadian and American groups but not sure if it's really what you'd call a clan, just people with same name loosely associated. Good motto though!
The jester is not a fool at all
yes, the jester plays the fool but the fool is the fool
"hiding alchemy and astrology". Interesting. Some see these 2 as 1. Re astrology, any thoughts on tropical vs sidereal?
yeah they are intertwined, like above and below. Sidereal is very interesting, I think my sidereal chart is a better description of me than my tropical chart, personally.
What do you think of Donald Hoffman with his belief nothing is real and everything is a mathematical construct ?
I don't know Donald Hoffman, but I do have friends who hold this view, that all of reality is a hallucination of sorts. I am currently of the view that the elements, fire, air, earth and water, are objectively real, and preceded human consciousness.

I am sure you have heard of sonoluminescence. Could this mean that light is just another phase of water.
With sonoluminescence, I expect it is the sound that is being transformed into light, due to the rapid increase in pressure from the collapsing bubble. Sound and light are different frequencies of vibration (fire), so they can be transformed into one another.

A PhD in engineering sounds quite useful too!

Odd how so many don't know "Lawful" created in the 1800 for the elimination of Gods Covenant 🙄 .
I think it was “legal” that was created to subvert god’s law?
@pobyrnesinger legal ease.
