I'm 68 and I get a lot from your videos. I'm currently working through McGilchrist's latest 3,000 page tome - The Matter With Things. I'm sending this to my son who also got his soul crushed at school. I'm going to start writing my dreams down again and I'm hoping he does too.
People are too self-critical to brainstorm ideas. They're unable to get a 100 possible solutions or ideas and then narrow it down to the best options they've come up with, because they don’t give themselves permission to put bad ideas on paper. They get into the mentality of narrowing things down before they have anything significant to narrow down from. This self-critical attitude that stops them putting their bad ideas on paper stops the flow that will lead to them coming up with a good idea.
thanks for this man.. going to start writing my "not-impressive" story ideas on paper to allow that flow.. i always lie to myself saying that they are not worth starting from or writing down, but pretty much EVERY time i've done it before more interesting details or unplanned expansion of story just occurs.. thats what our minds do, putting things down into actual written word is like a bait for our mind to want to fill in the next words or elements of story or idea.. so thank you again for this bit of inspiration and i hope others also see that writing things out, on paper or digital notes or word doc, naturally has the effect of allowing our mind to be a guide for the ideas, its a powerful tool and everyone possesses and can develop with regular practice!
I worked 15 years in retail and I had to quit because it was destroying my soul. I followed my dreams, I set up my own photography business and become a synesthesia artist. I feel like me again.
20:32 *"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."*
Channeling your courage really resonated with me. I’ve finally learned to harness and value courage as a virtue, but it took me 38 years! You have so much maturity and wisdom already!
Thank you for these videos dude. I don't know how you got the timing right, but this is exactly what I need right now. I've turned into a dork, a logical, rational little creature with no life left in me. Lopsidedness is so damn harmful to the soul. Losing ones creativity can really harm a guy.
There's so much gold here. The part about tantalizing your senses may be the beast advice I have ever received about working with visualization and imagination.
I needed this today. School placed so many limitations placed on my artistic talent, took me 18 years to rediscover it and begin to monetise. Big up Stef 💪🏻🔥🙏
Super busy in the real life right now, so I am not able to catch up on all the great content you have been producing lately. But I used the power of imagination, to read through the transcript of the video. Keep going Stef, I do sometimes criticise you and do not agree with you, but I do definitely support you in what you are doing, cause this is bigger than us. And the fact that we can have an open dialogue is what sets you apart from the rest.
Watching your videos has awakened something in me boyo. I’ve been held back being a theory cell - or I’ve held myself back in better terms. I also don’t usually dream but I’ve been remembering my dreams. Last night I had a dream where there were some horses that went up a one way road, and my anima was sitting on another horse. I wanted to go and claim these horses for myself. I approached my anima to ride with her, and every fibre of my being knew that I could master this horse simply after hopping on… but my theory cell left brain got in my way telling myself I’ve never ridden one before and that I’ll embarrass myself, so I didn’t get on. I never chased down those majestic beasts to claim them for my own because I got in my own way. I’m a man of ambition, but I let myself get in my own way, and I make all these rationalizations for not taking that Great Leap Forward and asserting myself on the world. I recognize these horses as my destiny and the woman as my anima. Going to bed last night I told my dreams to speak to me - and again, I almost never remember my dreams. It was very profound. But after watching a bunch of your videos I feel something shifting within myself. I feel the core of my being being called to my higher purpose, and I am understanding that the biggest tool in my tool belt is just my own willingness to let my destiny flow out of me… and to stop restricting that with my rationalizing brain. Thanks for bringing the words of men like Nietzsche and Jung to my ears boyo, I needed to hear them
Religions at their core are laden with imaginative stories, and this has made them influentially mimetic and grand Hence why religion and great art are inseparable; both attempt to symbolize the world within and around us. Stef perhaps you could do one banger on this.
I recommend playing old tabletop roleplaying games, like dunegons and dragons, for example. It sparks your imagination in ways that nothing else will, and whole worlds will be created in your mind.
Amazing rants as always. Speak more on integrating both hemispheres of the brain, if you please. Also, I’d like to join the group you mentioned at the end.
I noticed my lack of creativity when I couldn’t draw anything anymore and I couldn’t write anything interesting. I was completely apathetic then depressed. I think it helps to feel safe and free to reconnect with your creative and feminine side.
You might be into something there. I've noticed that all unfeminine chicks with a sidecut like the one in the thumbnail are completely uncreative robots.
I don't always agree with you Stef, but what you're explaining here is very important. Your work with James back in the day inspired me to learn about Jung & Religion. I found your LSD story , and the awakening of your imagination, resonant with an experience I had. Except less drug use & more sleep paralysis.
lmao i love people's young adult stories. one time, in high school, i got really drunk before hand and threw up in science class. was stumbling, slurring, & drooling. they call my mom and are like 'alcohol poisoning, go to hospital', but in her mind she's like 'pffft i'm gonna let this pos suffer.' so, she took me home, put me in bed, and went back to work.
Phenomenal video as always. Regarding the very last bit, you've already talked about this to some extent but the topic of attention is still quite interesting in the context of imagination. There seems to be a link between one's capacity to use one's own attention adequately and to imagine things properly. It gets even funnier when you think about shrinking attention spans as it potentially implies that people are becoming less and less capable of using their imagination.
Nice video. Exercising your imaginative abilities is important, and definitely something that atrophies if you stop. I'm so grateful that my friend group is witty and imaginative like I am, while gaming and talking we always concoct these insanely absurd scenarios and concepts that sometimes are just so funny. Every time we do stuff like that I can feel that its good for my brain, it feels healthy. I think its super important to have conversations that aren't "normal", which might be one of the ways to become more creative.
brilliant video, keep up the good work. watched 3/4 of this last night. woke up and logged my dream. finished the other 1/4 this morning over brekky. practical application, no point watching but not doing. crack on boyo's
Amazing video as always :) Great to see you coming back to the topic of the left and right hemisphere of the brain and dreams! On an offtopic, as a follower for years now (I don't even remember why or how I discovered your channel), it is impressive and inspiring the evolution your channel have made. It is also impressive how you handle yourself in interviews on other channels.
Thanks Stef, I had a similar experience but not from psychedelics but rather a love connection. Labeled as woo woo twin flame but I didn't get caught in the label. I dug deep, hell deep. And came around to this very idea within and now too am delving into Iain, Jung, etc..I also came from a yogic perspective to my connection my yin was somewhat online but I needed more integration around my healthy logic, masculine. Lot's of healing around my anima. I also obviously am a woman. Such an amazing journey!
@@uberboyo You also need an academic title. You can't imagine the amount of paleontological hypotheses I came up with that later turned out to be true.
@@uberboyoTrue but business is more about ideas that get investors siding with and invest in your product, real estate or capital. Another is work on yourself which constantly working on self-development on leaders, high earners and the productive are doing. That requires confidence, competence and may require discipline ie consistency but not always. Depends on the goals that your trying to achieve, some goals require good timing and constant upkeep, others only require tried and tested skills. Those skills are repetitive and easier and don't require thinking outside the box or reinventing alot of established principles. Marketing is very well figured out, but not so much leadership, charisma, seduction, speaking, thinking and writing.
I used to have that wonder for life and vivid imagination, but i think i lost it because of the over-saturation of media. Before I used to watch one movie or anime and it ment the world for me. I clearly remember being deeply moved by these, because it was less available. Now I consume images and videos on a daily basis and at a very fast pace. Basically i have no imagination left, because all that space os filled with already created assets.
Akashic records, I love the Collective Unconscious, stored in simple things like a beach rock who's been touched by three different humans that day, or looking at a product because it would be picked up by someone else in the collective unconscious. My boyfriend said sometimes he'll be mowing at a clients house and gets a random flash of what could be playing on their tvs. (it came in, not that he was purposely thinking about this). Is remote viewing connected to collective unconscious? Sometimes I'm so right about things, its scary, I feel like I can read everyone's thoughts already!
This video made me think of this time from my teenage years when I was hanging out with my friends and we took cough medicine (dextromethorphan Robitussin or Coriciden) and I took a lot because I was taking that stuff a lot when I was like 16-18 and we were at my friend Jake's house and walked outside into his neighborhood and found a dense, bushy tree that was climbable in which to smoke weed without being seen. Anyways, we were sitting up in the branches of this tree and had passed around the bowl a few times when I suddenly noticed there was music playing, this sort of 60s-70s-style folk rock with a female singer, sort of like Fleetwood Mac but not, it wasn't a song I had ever heard before, but I liked it. I asked my friends "Hey, where is that music coming from?" And they just looked at me all serious and told me they didn't hear any music. They swore up and down there was no music, and there was nowhere for it to be coming from up a tree in a quiet neighborhood. So I realized it was actually an audial hallucination, and I really enjoyed it. Even the lyrics were crystal clear, it was incredible to me that my subconscious could produce something so beautiful, a composition created without any effort of my own. Another time, on dextromethorphan, pot, Ativan, and the phenylthylamine Alexander Shulgrin designer drug 2c-i, I saw a Chinese parade dragon flying around near the ceiling while rainbow confetti rained down like snowflakes all throughout my high school friend Hillary's room. I've seen a lot of other crazy stuff, but those were the most spectacular and fun hallucinatory experiences. My psychonaut years are behind me now, pretty much. I do take shrooms every once in a while because they're easy to get from online shops, helps sorta give my mind a reset and chill, help make me have a more positive attitude. The only trouble with shrooms is eating them and getting all bloated and having gut rot, I hate that, but I love the body high otherwise. One time I was on "M4-homet" or something weird like that (probably not quite right but it was some combination of letters and numbers) and what the dealer called "Foxy Moxy", designer psychedelic drugs, as well as shrooms and MDMA I had snorted and ketamine that I had IM'd, and I got such a powerful body high it literally felt like I was getting orgasms all over my body, I don't mean to be gross but that's just the only way to describe it. I didn't get crazy visuals that time, oddly enough, but I did end up crawling under my bed to draw on the ground and underside of the bed in my little cubicle-like room in a homeless shelter (got my own room on the 3rd floor cuz some pissant pyromaniac pranksters had set my bed on fire with me sleeping in it on the 2nd floor where everyone sleeps in the same big room, luckily I only got small 1st degree burns on my hands and a burnt jacket, I never was sure who did it) while I anthropomorphized the inanimate objects in my room and spoke to them for fun. And later when I went out front for a smoke I overheard people talking about stuff and it just triggered me yo, I went back up to my room and started bawling, I just felt this wave of sadness come crashing over me, absorbing all the sorrows of that place, all the addiction and poverty and mental illness and pain, and releasing the tension from that empathy through cathartic crying, a good cry sesh. It felt really good to release. I think this sort of altered state in which we connect with that creative force inside of us is something that artists have sought to achieve for inspiration for eons. In fact, I think when ancient Greeks spoke of the Muses, they were talking about these creative spirits within us, these daemons of artistic beauty we mortals can occasionally channel. Many actors even today speak about the state of "channeling", especially character actors that fully embody the roles they take on. There have been a couple times in my life in which I felt some kind of creative spark that just sort of made me speak before I knew what I was saying, like another voice was coming through me, even without being on any drugs. I was an atheist from my earliest memories on, but in recent years I have opened myself up to the possibilities of metaphysics. I guess if you were to place my cosmological and theological ideas in a category it would be something like "agnostic panentheistic animism", "agnostic" because I do not feel certain but lean more towards believing there is an afterlife and "panentheistic" because I hypothesize that the universe is within some sort of God, or has some sort of metaphysical foundations, and "animism" because I get the intuitive sense that every living thing possesses an anima, and have a more biocentric worldview rather than an anthropocentric worldview. I don't have any specific ideas beyond that, pretty much. I just figure reality is strange, life is strange, why shouldn't death by strange? And the atheists currently posit that the universe will eventually reach heat death and basically freeze into place at absolute zero, no movement, a static universe, and also that the universe always was before the Big Bang, it just existed in another state, eternally. I have a hard time seeing how that makes any sense, especially as compared with less strictly materialist interpretations of reality. It is no less mystical and transcendental to try to imagine that the universe always existed, because of it never had a beginning, how did it ever progress to the point of today? How can there be an infinite number of yesterdays and still run out and turn into today or tomorrow? Something with no beginning would never get past the infinite to the point that it would reach the finite, differential days. An eternal thing has to be timeless, it can't be outside of time and enter it through some physical process. If the universe arose from some process which is unintelligible to the layman (I'm not even going to try to describe the specifics of the Big Bang because I'm sure I'll get it wrong, I just know it was a rapid expansion of spacetime and energy), the shift from a sempiternal singularity to a bubble of spacetime full of energy and eventually matter that expands until it can't any longer is so mysterious and unequivocal to anything within our frame of reference that it may as well be mystical. I am of the opinion that a scientific explanation for a natural phenomenon doesn't truly detract from the sacredness of these natural processes and objects. Just because we have a brain doesn't mean we don't have a soul. For "soul" to have any intelligible meaning, in my mind it would have to apply to the animating spirit in animals, and perhaps even to plants, simpler living things, and even inanimate things. The weltgeist pervades all, God or some force continuously sustains this reality, and it is all a magnificent enigma.
Thanks Steph, Body, mind and the Spirit that animates it all. The imaginal is both sacred and profane, horror and awe. The quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog. As my drawing instructor madly raved. Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Symbols speak volumes Dali meltdown. ❤😊
Hmmm, I knew this guy who would talk to me alot and he started copying me in drawing and stuff like that, and also he became really passionate about books and was like "I'm reading more crap now". I didn't ask him the specifics but I think u can tap into that creativity if u make a good friend with someone who instills that desire for creativity / improvement in u. It can be totally platonic as well. Or anima/animus work but you have to make friends with the opposite gender and take the traits from them basically. Mm the more angst the more u can learn but you can risk URSELF in the process so there's that. But ya Which is what I did, I stole his energy basically and used it for myself. How I get those imagination activated in me currently is I basically just get some mentor / mentorship situations with some ppl from my church that I admire alot and take the traits from them and make them into cool elaborate stuff in my head. Or I try to pick apart my friends minds if they're a interesting person and try to absorb some stuff and it makes me have a new lense basically to view the world if I can get to know enough ppl deep enough to understand their worldview. In a way it's like getting a new way of seeing the world everytime. That's why it's really good to listen to ppl more than talk and I like to do that alot and then steal their lenses basically and use them. Like creativity can be increased so much by taking different lenses and viewing through them, I like character building alot and imagining those scenarios in my head with people I know, because as much as people think they are not that interesting they really are. They are super interesting deep down . But it's hard to have that creativity in an echo chamber tho. I guess where I fail is having that vital imagination on my own, I always have to use other people's stories/minds in order to get the good stuff. It's hard to explain really. I appreciate your steam of consciousness monologues alot, cos it gives me alot of crap to absorb and also there's some vital force or spirit to each person when they get passionate about something and it's almost like I can grasp it for myself almost if I hear enough of it, then use it for myself. It doesn't even necessarily have to be deep, but the angsty stuff really is charged with some kind of energy. It's kind of a insatiable hunger for me. Even the most mundane ppl have so much nuances to them, i kinda hate the term NPC really, I think u just have to take time to extract the wealth inside each person but it takes a while ig. I think finding out what ur creative process is and capitalizing on it is good, it's sad that college and prim education kills that. I found that as well. Hmm i dabbled in magic a bit, but not out of my own will, theres some charm makers in my family / some of my family members have some history with that so im extra sensitive when theres ppl that do that stuff and i can feel it but it makes me repulsed / sick as frick. But yeah ive run into people who do that sort of thing and for some reason i dont like the concept of disrupting free will / natural orders even though i know its real. I guess its because im christian and was raised with the thought that sorcerers would be burning in gehenna, the two halves of my fam who were involved in witch craft and the christian half dont talk either so ye. I think ur hair looking wet 24/7 also makes u look primal im ngl. Like i think eberything hits better when the person talking to you looks like he was sweating out a storm and just got out of a sweat lodge or something. Dunno why that characteristic stands out to me but ya
Hey Stef, here's the guy with the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia again :'D Your videos are really getting into some serious stuff lately. Gonna leave my two cents again today. Maybe it can give you some inspiration. For me getting such a stigmatising diagnosis led to me trying to get even deeper into my own psyche. It led to me trying to understand the human psyche on a fundamental level. What I am thinking after all this time researching and putting own thoughts together is that psychological disorders are, explained really broken down, one or more functions of the psyche becoming stronger developed than others, while the others are being neglected. This causes an imbalance that leads to the psychic body becoming malformed, loosing its capacity to solve certain problems or perform certain tasks. In my humble opinion, humans have only one center of self but this center of self is switching identities almost all the time which is, in most cases, an unconscious process. Like when you are with your kids you are this identity, when with friends that and when at work you are another. This is necessary and as long as it seems relatively coherent for bystanders it is not noticed. What happens when you switch identities is called dissociation. You disconnet from the previous identity, even losing memory of it for some time, until you switch back to it. The left and right hemisphere probably fell victim to this dissociation to such a degree that they formed two personalites in the course of our latest human history. To me it certainly seems possible that, like in dissociative identity disorder, our right hemisphere became opressed by the left hemisphere and, like you mentioned, the right hemisphere became schizophrenic because of this opression. It fled into its own world which may be why our dreams seem so wild and seem like they are not making sense. There was a time I recorded my dreams in a notebook and did certain exercises to train a new way of consciousness, identifying as an observer. This new identity would also be the controller of my life, giving a yes or no to impulses, feelings and thoughts. Yes or no in the sense of letting them form into actions eventually or not. This new identity, that I purely imagined, switched off multiple times and often for longer periods of times. But I realized it is at a higher level, meaning it can perceive more of the whole personality. Not higher in the sense of better. It is also just a tool of the Self at the center like other identities. Through this identity as an observer and controller I realized the dissociations I have all the time. And when you closely observe others you notice the dissociations in others, too. Have a great day, I will watch the rest of the video in the evening. Just wanted to drop this ^^
The imagination is a scary thing with bounds unknown as it seems ever vast. Our minds can imagine all kinds of stuff, some good ideas, other things , terrifying possibilities and philosophies Our minds are primed for threat detection and for some of us. It can make us neurotic and ever seeing and looking for threats to counter to ensure stability. Imagination might help us in dealing with these threats, but in really don't know how most people put their exextential anxieties out of their mind. I mean ideas like the Mandela effect, simulation theory ( not a fan of) etc.With the mandala effect it takes out continuity in time, instead of cause and effect, they can both be replaced randomly in the chain of history with a ser of other events. To many this would seem to invalidate all their actions. And then there are the pantheistic people online, which are just a few steps away from solipsism, except with solipsism eveything is in the mind of one perspective, with pantheism we're just the same lonely schizophrenic being with a near infinite amount of personalities.
Sitting in school for 5 periods a day with nothing but a mumbling teacher to my front and a wooden desk covering my lap sort of let my creativity be set free. School gave me no other choice but to imagine art and music and make poetry I could stories and so much more. Provided you are put in a school system that gives up on you after you refuse to work the first few times, it can be quite a creativity-inducing experience lol
I'm listening. I used to be incredibly imaginative, but like you, Jr high robbed me of it. The year was 2001. I owned a couple guitars then, I had an amazing sketchbook, but slowly they got set aside and I got rusty. Now I'm 36 and I'm working on making art and building up an art studio business.
I used to work in product design and what you will find is that whilst everyone is full time trying to exercise their creativity some people just have a superior level of creativity and therefore are the most important persons in the team. I dont believe it is something you can train, you either have it or you don't. Usually in these teams of designers you have one or two people who are the vision behind the product, the rest are just following instruction. I guarantee that this is the same situation among all designers, engineer's and scientists
This is a fixed mindset mentality. Creativity is a skill like anything else which you can get better at. The belief as to whether or not you will be able to improve is going to be the main factor which determines whether you can or can't.
@@dorsia6938 My opinion is the result of observation not philosophising on the subject, I worked with creative people, product designers and seen it with my own eyes. Do you not think those who were less creative, inventive were not trying to acquire this skill so that they could be promoted and get more money. A friend of mine who is very creative recently told the company he was working for that he would be leaving and it sent the whole company into a complete meltdown. They knew that they would not be able to replace him easily and they were right in that understanding. If creativity and inventiveness was something you could teach in engineering and design departments university's would be churning out Nikola Tesla's but the truth is the majority of people who graduate have very average abilities and will never make it to the top
It’s just like any other trait . It can be trained to the extent that your potential allows just like if you spend 10 years focused on becoming a better sprinter , you’re not going to become Usain Bolt but you will become a far better sprinter regardless of
Well boyo! Im from Meath & I just came acrosss your channel. Absolute top stuff man fair play! I'm currently going through your Aion series. Im literally so impressed & thrilled to have discovered your shit! Is there any irish communities of fellow Jungian's you can point me to?
Oh, the best trip I ever had was that I was the forge master at the edge of the universe at the north poll. I was a sort of wizard black Smith with these awesome red and gold wizard robes, and the weapons I forged were used to keep the demons down the crevice of the underworld. Now while I was the forge master, I was also trying to order a pizza, wheeeeew! (Ordering the pizza was real)
I'm a writer. And artist. I have problems explaining the difference between explaining and showing but when I write, I can switch between both concepts.
When I was in my second year of drawing school, my drawing quality was a 5 out of 10. Then, I skipped a year of drawing school and didn't draw at all, not even at home. The following year, when I returned to drawing school, my drawing skills had improved significantly, reaching a 9 out of 10 for my age. My drawings had improved almost twice as much as they were one year ago before I skipped drawing practices. I believe this improvement happened through mental practice, not in real life, but in my unconscious mind.
34:38 How many days in this cut scene? Because you look different than your previous cut. Excellent job on your speaking and staying focused on the topic of hemi sync. DaviWayne1111
You can learn to draw and improve over all time, if you are so inclined. I always had a little talent, but I wanted to draw and do art anyway, so I had to learn how to improve. I'm not great at it, but I'm not stick figure terrible.
27:10 Hey, how could someone who really, really never remembers his dreams except maybe twice a year, how could he then seek to apply this later mentioned method that requires remembering? For context it's not like i remember something partially, or just need to look at a paper upon waking up with the phrase reminding me to record and remember, it's just simply not there when I wake up.
what about after 50hrs per week working retail or food service job kills it? i had more creativity when i was in the school system than i ever did working a real job in real life.
Yeah jobs can kill it aswell, try to INJECT your imagination into your job See can you visualise eyes open while working I had a friend who built huge musical capabilities when he was bored in class and just imagined sounds
Interestingly, I recently saw Andrew Tate discussing lucid dreaming. He taught himself how to lucid dream at a young age and has done it ever since. It's an interesting connection given that he is such an articulate and creative speaker.
He's creative and intelligent, a genius probably, but also kind of gross and immoral. At least he's escaped the Matrix, but will be be able to escape the Matrix: Reloaded??
Did he say the part where his lucid dreaming helped him with his human trafficking lol. I wouldn't look up to him too much he's definitely going to prison for a while, and his own statements are what will put him there. I'm not against him I'm glad he's working against the whole woke culture but from my law classes and listening to him I can say he broke lots of laws and unfortunately doesn't realize it. His ego will cause his end.
Hey Steph, are you interested about getting word about some upcoming writers/artists/musicians who've been up to the grass roots work? If yes, I could drop some links for you to check out. There are master class musical pieces and paintings waiting to be found out about.
What if 5 sense reality is not the only reality and our consciousness is shifting between realities with entirely different sensory requirements when we die.
One time, when I dropped acid, I became the forge master at the edge of the universe. It was at the north pole kind of, and the weapons I made kept the forces of darkness at bay, and it wad like I was stationed there to keep the demons from climbing out of the pit. I had these kick ass robes and bare chested maidens who assisted me......kick ass. But at the same time I was also microwaving some white castle burgers. I think the burgers were real but hey, motherfucking forge master, man.
Okay so its like, "Bro, my man Brian came across the blood chilling scene of roiling charcoal clouds, lightning flashing harsh momentary flickers, thunder booming, like a wild man screaming. The burnished armor didnt fit Brian well. It was a size too small, but he could still move. The problem was, he didnt want to move. The black dragon circled the obsidian castle that stood jagged against the desert sky. It roared bright flames of luquid magma, eyes aglow with cold blue fury. Uh...fuck this, Brian thought. The screams of the princess gave him the tummy bubbles, so he turned to flee. Then Brian stopped himself. His mouth set in a determined straight line, and he spun back around, drawing his sword. Fine Beatrice had that deformed wonky hand with that crooked pinky, but she was good and beautiful, and he already accepted the 24 pack to save her. No other option left. Brian advanced forward.
I have loads of ideas to start a business the issue I have I never do it. When I working in my shitty job I wish I was working on my ideas when I have the time I waste it. Having a idea is only half the battle. Than I get depressed I never do what I was meant to do. I don't know what the cure for this is? I see nothing wrong with taking what is already in reality changing it slightly if you look at the iphone was just all the technology that we had at the time in one phone. Listen/read to a book 100 times you will start to think like that author.
Boyo, we have gone through some very similar mental gymnastics, but also very different. I hear strikingly similar issues to those I had to deal with along with very similar realizations and results. You got there in quite a different way than I did, but the journey still seems like a very familiar trip. A lot of the details about how you got there are very interesting and exciting for me in that I think doing some of the things you did, like the dream journaling especially, might even further develop the connection between my hemispheres. Maybe turn me from a Challenger into a Hellcat with the upgrade to my Hemis. Also you make me want to read Jung and Nietzsche, both of whom I had only rather poorly formed opinions based mostly on distilled, probably misinterpreted or intentionally misrepresented characterizations of their work. They are, as is of course nearly always the case, much more complicated and much more brilliant and nuanced in their thinking than I was led to believe, and to be honest, what I had learned about them was so unremarkable and made them seem so inconsequential that I had them filed away as a couple of obsolete thinkers who had some good ideas, but ultimately got in the way of themselves so badly that most of their ideas are no longer relevant or valuable, and they were only useful stepping stones, primarily useful in examining their flaws and the mistakes they made. And beyond that I had no recollection of what they actually contributed to society. So I never had any clue that they would be useful to read. And by the way, I used a lot of psychedelics to get there, but they were not what got me my first reconnections with my right hemi. They just kicked it into high gear and helped me to realize a lot about the nature of reality, and to really learn to trust my gut instinct, which has never led me astray in the 7 years or so I’ve been listening to it.
I do as the BOYO commands! From now on every morning at dawn the moment my eyes snap open I will frantically scribble my dream image's into the back of a acid tab to "micro dose" until I become El Sobre Hombre and a reincarnated transhumanist Carl Jung bursts through the walls of the MIT robotics lab in a glistening silver Arnold Schwarzenegger level ripped body with a 4 foot long corn cob pipe in one hand and the original leather bound Red Book in the other and I am knighted the patron saint of schizophrenia. Where upon I will instantaneously sprout a mustache so large thick and bushy that only my Nietzschean mustache that smells of liver and my eyes with pupils dilated to the point that they are nothing but black will be visible upon my face.
Sounds like trauma caused you to lose your ability to visualize. That's actually surprisingly common. I read a lot of peoples anecdotes that they lost that capacity without knowing. You can actually train your visualization by simple practice and focus on projecting with your third eye. Then there's people with aphantasia. 2% of the population cannot visualize at all, they lack a third eye and do not have visual dreams. Rather, all their thoughts are in the form of conceptualization.
@@aricori21 I experienced a profound meditation , one of enhanced energy flow between the chakras and being connected to everything. I woke up feeling that I had achieved near alchemy internally. I felt like I had " levelled up " spiritually. Two weeks later I still felt new and improved.
Do I quit my ok IT job to improove much faster or keep at it and improove slowly on the side? I have a 1 year cushion right now. Boyos advise me please. Thanks
Don’t make drastic decisions Creativity is like building muscle… great when you have it… but you have to APPLY it well to a specific task for it to be useful
@@uberboyowhy he should be limited to not making drastic moves? He could do them, but everything comes at the cost. And evaluating the risk is his responsibility.
I'm 68 and I get a lot from your videos. I'm currently working through McGilchrist's latest 3,000 page tome - The Matter With Things. I'm sending this to my son who also got his soul crushed at school. I'm going to start writing my dreams down again and I'm hoping he does too.
That’s awesome to hear. Hope he enjoys it too.
Nice to hear man
Excellent. I lucid dream sometimes and occasionally write them down.
Top dad
People are too self-critical to brainstorm ideas.
They're unable to get a 100 possible solutions or ideas and then narrow it down to the best options they've come up with, because they don’t give themselves permission to put bad ideas on paper.
They get into the mentality of narrowing things down before they have anything significant to narrow down from.
This self-critical attitude that stops them putting their bad ideas on paper stops the flow that will lead to them coming up with a good idea.
thanks for this man.. going to start writing my "not-impressive" story ideas on paper to allow that flow.. i always lie to myself saying that they are not worth starting from or writing down, but pretty much EVERY time i've done it before more interesting details or unplanned expansion of story just occurs.. thats what our minds do, putting things down into actual written word is like a bait for our mind to want to fill in the next words or elements of story or idea.. so thank you again for this bit of inspiration and i hope others also see that writing things out, on paper or digital notes or word doc, naturally has the effect of allowing our mind to be a guide for the ideas, its a powerful tool and everyone possesses and can develop with regular practice!
Yep, perfectionism is the enemy. Just make the damned thing even if it's not perfect, just DO anything! You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

I worked 15 years in retail and I had to quit because it was destroying my soul. I followed my dreams, I set up my own photography business and become a synesthesia artist. I feel like me again.
So awesome love to hear it ⚡️
Sounds gay tbh.
20:32 *"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."*
Fear is their fuel man
Channeling your courage really resonated with me. I’ve finally learned to harness and value courage as a virtue, but it took me 38 years! You have so much maturity and wisdom already!
Thank you for these videos dude. I don't know how you got the timing right, but this is exactly what I need right now. I've turned into a dork, a logical, rational little creature with no life left in me. Lopsidedness is so damn harmful to the soul. Losing ones creativity can really harm a guy.
How to win at life is the question, creativity is the answer
There's so much gold here. The part about tantalizing your senses may be the beast advice I have ever received about working with visualization and imagination.
I needed this today. School placed so many limitations placed on my artistic talent, took me 18 years to rediscover it and begin to monetise. Big up Stef 💪🏻🔥🙏
Super busy in the real life right now, so I am not able to catch up on all the great content you have been producing lately.
But I used the power of imagination, to read through the transcript of the video.
Keep going Stef, I do sometimes criticise you and do not agree with you, but I do definitely support you in what you are doing, cause this is bigger than us.
And the fact that we can have an open dialogue is what sets you apart from the rest.
Watching your videos has awakened something in me boyo.
I’ve been held back being a theory cell - or I’ve held myself back in better terms.
I also don’t usually dream but I’ve been remembering my dreams.
Last night I had a dream where there were some horses that went up a one way road, and my anima was sitting on another horse. I wanted to go and claim these horses for myself.
I approached my anima to ride with her, and every fibre of my being knew that I could master this horse simply after hopping on… but my theory cell left brain got in my way telling myself I’ve never ridden one before and that I’ll embarrass myself, so I didn’t get on.
I never chased down those majestic beasts to claim them for my own because I got in my own way.
I’m a man of ambition, but I let myself get in my own way, and I make all these rationalizations for not taking that Great Leap Forward and asserting myself on the world. I recognize these horses as my destiny and the woman as my anima. Going to bed last night I told my dreams to speak to me - and again, I almost never remember my dreams.
It was very profound.
But after watching a bunch of your videos I feel something shifting within myself. I feel the core of my being being called to my higher purpose, and I am understanding that the biggest tool in my tool belt is just my own willingness to let my destiny flow out of me… and to stop restricting that with my rationalizing brain.
Thanks for bringing the words of men like Nietzsche and Jung to my ears boyo, I needed to hear them
Religions at their core are laden with imaginative stories, and this has made them influentially mimetic and grand
Hence why religion and great art are inseparable; both attempt to symbolize the world within and around us.
Stef perhaps you could do one banger on this.
I recommend playing old tabletop roleplaying games, like dunegons and dragons, for example. It sparks your imagination in ways that nothing else will, and whole worlds will be created in your mind.
Actually very true, great storytelling exercises!
Amazing rants as always. Speak more on integrating both hemispheres of the brain, if you please. Also, I’d like to join the group you mentioned at the end.
I noticed my lack of creativity when I couldn’t draw anything anymore and I couldn’t write anything interesting. I was completely apathetic then depressed. I think it helps to feel safe and free to reconnect with your creative and feminine side.
You might be into something there. I've noticed that all unfeminine chicks with a sidecut like the one in the thumbnail are completely uncreative robots.
Insane how timely this video is for me.
I don't always agree with you Stef, but what you're explaining here is very important. Your work with James back in the day inspired me to learn about Jung & Religion. I found your LSD story , and the awakening of your imagination, resonant with an experience I had. Except less drug use & more sleep paralysis.
That colab with James was amazing
Thank you for being you, uber bøyø 🎉
lmao i love people's young adult stories. one time, in high school, i got really drunk before hand and threw up in science class. was stumbling, slurring, & drooling. they call my mom and are like 'alcohol poisoning, go to hospital', but in her mind she's like 'pffft i'm gonna let this pos suffer.' so, she took me home, put me in bed, and went back to work.
Wtf 😂
hahahaha!!
28:18 i remember all my dreams, and getting to think about them and write them really does help.
Phenomenal video as always. Regarding the very last bit, you've already talked about this to some extent but the topic of attention is still quite interesting in the context of imagination. There seems to be a link between one's capacity to use one's own attention adequately and to imagine things properly. It gets even funnier when you think about shrinking attention spans as it potentially implies that people are becoming less and less capable of using their imagination.
Nice video. Exercising your imaginative abilities is important, and definitely something that atrophies if you stop. I'm so grateful that my friend group is witty and imaginative like I am, while gaming and talking we always concoct these insanely absurd scenarios and concepts that sometimes are just so funny. Every time we do stuff like that I can feel that its good for my brain, it feels healthy. I think its super important to have conversations that aren't "normal", which might be one of the ways to become more creative.
brilliant video, keep up the good work. watched 3/4 of this last night. woke up and logged my dream. finished the other 1/4 this morning over brekky. practical application, no point watching but not doing. crack on boyo's
Amazing video as always :) Great to see you coming back to the topic of the left and right hemisphere of the brain and dreams!
On an offtopic, as a follower for years now (I don't even remember why or how I discovered your channel), it is impressive and inspiring the evolution your channel have made. It is also impressive how you handle yourself in interviews on other channels.
Thank you, uberboyo, you have been very helpful!
You're the guy for me at this transformative stage of my life.
Thanks Stef, I had a similar experience but not from psychedelics but rather a love connection. Labeled as woo woo twin flame but I didn't get caught in the label. I dug deep, hell deep. And came around to this very idea within and now too am delving into Iain, Jung, etc..I also came from a yogic perspective to my connection my yin was somewhat online but I needed more integration around my healthy logic, masculine. Lot's of healing around my anima. I also obviously am a woman. Such an amazing journey!
don't underestimate the power/potential your mind has to affect your reality (for good or ill)
Defeat your enemies *WITH MIND BULLETS!* PEW PEW!
My problem is I can imagine crazy cool ideas but I fail to translate it into something that can generate wealth
Yes, you gotta get specific and then disciplined!
@@uberboyo You also need an academic title. You can't imagine the amount of paleontological hypotheses I came up with that later turned out to be true.
😢
@@uberboyoTrue but business is more about ideas that get investors siding with and invest in your product, real estate or capital. Another is work on yourself which constantly working on self-development on leaders, high earners and the productive are doing. That requires confidence, competence and may require discipline ie consistency but not always. Depends on the goals that your trying to achieve, some goals require good timing and constant upkeep, others only require tried and tested skills. Those skills are repetitive and easier and don't require thinking outside the box or reinventing alot of established principles. Marketing is very well figured out, but not so much leadership, charisma, seduction, speaking, thinking and writing.
you’d be surprised what unexpected doors open when you just do it.
Your visual art is really cool. It would be great if you involved more of it throughout your videos
I used to have that wonder for life and vivid imagination, but i think i lost it because of the over-saturation of media. Before I used to watch one movie or anime and it ment the world for me. I clearly remember being deeply moved by these, because it was less available.
Now I consume images and videos on a daily basis and at a very fast pace. Basically i have no imagination left, because all that space os filled with already created assets.
Dropping that heat
Akashic records, I love the Collective Unconscious, stored in simple things like a beach rock who's been touched by three different humans that day, or looking at a product because it would be picked up by someone else in the collective unconscious. My boyfriend said sometimes he'll be mowing at a clients house and gets a random flash of what could be playing on their tvs. (it came in, not that he was purposely thinking about this). Is remote viewing connected to collective unconscious? Sometimes I'm so right about things, its scary, I feel like I can read everyone's thoughts already!
Amazing rant. Also, I don't really watch, but use it as a podcast. It works excellently. Thank you.
This video made me think of this time from my teenage years when I was hanging out with my friends and we took cough medicine (dextromethorphan Robitussin or Coriciden) and I took a lot because I was taking that stuff a lot when I was like 16-18 and we were at my friend Jake's house and walked outside into his neighborhood and found a dense, bushy tree that was climbable in which to smoke weed without being seen. Anyways, we were sitting up in the branches of this tree and had passed around the bowl a few times when I suddenly noticed there was music playing, this sort of 60s-70s-style folk rock with a female singer, sort of like Fleetwood Mac but not, it wasn't a song I had ever heard before, but I liked it. I asked my friends "Hey, where is that music coming from?" And they just looked at me all serious and told me they didn't hear any music. They swore up and down there was no music, and there was nowhere for it to be coming from up a tree in a quiet neighborhood. So I realized it was actually an audial hallucination, and I really enjoyed it. Even the lyrics were crystal clear, it was incredible to me that my subconscious could produce something so beautiful, a composition created without any effort of my own. Another time, on dextromethorphan, pot, Ativan, and the phenylthylamine Alexander Shulgrin designer drug 2c-i, I saw a Chinese parade dragon flying around near the ceiling while rainbow confetti rained down like snowflakes all throughout my high school friend Hillary's room. I've seen a lot of other crazy stuff, but those were the most spectacular and fun hallucinatory experiences. My psychonaut years are behind me now, pretty much. I do take shrooms every once in a while because they're easy to get from online shops, helps sorta give my mind a reset and chill, help make me have a more positive attitude. The only trouble with shrooms is eating them and getting all bloated and having gut rot, I hate that, but I love the body high otherwise. One time I was on "M4-homet" or something weird like that (probably not quite right but it was some combination of letters and numbers) and what the dealer called "Foxy Moxy", designer psychedelic drugs, as well as shrooms and MDMA I had snorted and ketamine that I had IM'd, and I got such a powerful body high it literally felt like I was getting orgasms all over my body, I don't mean to be gross but that's just the only way to describe it. I didn't get crazy visuals that time, oddly enough, but I did end up crawling under my bed to draw on the ground and underside of the bed in my little cubicle-like room in a homeless shelter (got my own room on the 3rd floor cuz some pissant pyromaniac pranksters had set my bed on fire with me sleeping in it on the 2nd floor where everyone sleeps in the same big room, luckily I only got small 1st degree burns on my hands and a burnt jacket, I never was sure who did it) while I anthropomorphized the inanimate objects in my room and spoke to them for fun. And later when I went out front for a smoke I overheard people talking about stuff and it just triggered me yo, I went back up to my room and started bawling, I just felt this wave of sadness come crashing over me, absorbing all the sorrows of that place, all the addiction and poverty and mental illness and pain, and releasing the tension from that empathy through cathartic crying, a good cry sesh. It felt really good to release.
I think this sort of altered state in which we connect with that creative force inside of us is something that artists have sought to achieve for inspiration for eons. In fact, I think when ancient Greeks spoke of the Muses, they were talking about these creative spirits within us, these daemons of artistic beauty we mortals can occasionally channel. Many actors even today speak about the state of "channeling", especially character actors that fully embody the roles they take on. There have been a couple times in my life in which I felt some kind of creative spark that just sort of made me speak before I knew what I was saying, like another voice was coming through me, even without being on any drugs. I was an atheist from my earliest memories on, but in recent years I have opened myself up to the possibilities of metaphysics. I guess if you were to place my cosmological and theological ideas in a category it would be something like "agnostic panentheistic animism", "agnostic" because I do not feel certain but lean more towards believing there is an afterlife and "panentheistic" because I hypothesize that the universe is within some sort of God, or has some sort of metaphysical foundations, and "animism" because I get the intuitive sense that every living thing possesses an anima, and have a more biocentric worldview rather than an anthropocentric worldview. I don't have any specific ideas beyond that, pretty much. I just figure reality is strange, life is strange, why shouldn't death by strange? And the atheists currently posit that the universe will eventually reach heat death and basically freeze into place at absolute zero, no movement, a static universe, and also that the universe always was before the Big Bang, it just existed in another state, eternally. I have a hard time seeing how that makes any sense, especially as compared with less strictly materialist interpretations of reality. It is no less mystical and transcendental to try to imagine that the universe always existed, because of it never had a beginning, how did it ever progress to the point of today? How can there be an infinite number of yesterdays and still run out and turn into today or tomorrow? Something with no beginning would never get past the infinite to the point that it would reach the finite, differential days. An eternal thing has to be timeless, it can't be outside of time and enter it through some physical process. If the universe arose from some process which is unintelligible to the layman (I'm not even going to try to describe the specifics of the Big Bang because I'm sure I'll get it wrong, I just know it was a rapid expansion of spacetime and energy), the shift from a sempiternal singularity to a bubble of spacetime full of energy and eventually matter that expands until it can't any longer is so mysterious and unequivocal to anything within our frame of reference that it may as well be mystical. I am of the opinion that a scientific explanation for a natural phenomenon doesn't truly detract from the sacredness of these natural processes and objects. Just because we have a brain doesn't mean we don't have a soul. For "soul" to have any intelligible meaning, in my mind it would have to apply to the animating spirit in animals, and perhaps even to plants, simpler living things, and even inanimate things. The weltgeist pervades all, God or some force continuously sustains this reality, and it is all a magnificent enigma.
Yo
@@victormutunga2944 Hi how ya doin?
woa man......
that's a lot to process but,
Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Thanks Steph, Body, mind and the Spirit that animates it all. The imaginal is both sacred and profane, horror and awe. The quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog. As my drawing instructor madly raved. Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Symbols speak volumes Dali meltdown. ❤😊
great episode. one of your best ever.
Hmmm, I knew this guy who would talk to me alot and he started copying me in drawing and stuff like that, and also he became really passionate about books and was like "I'm reading more crap now". I didn't ask him the specifics but I think u can tap into that creativity if u make a good friend with someone who instills that desire for creativity / improvement in u. It can be totally platonic as well.
Or anima/animus work but you have to make friends with the opposite gender and take the traits from them basically. Mm the more angst the more u can learn but you can risk URSELF in the process so there's that. But ya
Which is what I did, I stole his energy basically and used it for myself. How I get those imagination activated in me currently is I basically just get some mentor / mentorship situations with some ppl from my church that I admire alot and take the traits from them and make them into cool elaborate stuff in my head. Or I try to pick apart my friends minds if they're a interesting person and try to absorb some stuff and it makes me have a new lense basically to view the world if I can get to know enough ppl deep enough to understand their worldview. In a way it's like getting a new way of seeing the world everytime. That's why it's really good to listen to ppl more than talk and I like to do that alot and then steal their lenses basically and use them. Like creativity can be increased so much by taking different lenses and viewing through them, I like character building alot and imagining those scenarios in my head with people I know, because as much as people think they are not that interesting they really are. They are super interesting deep down . But it's hard to have that creativity in an echo chamber tho. I guess where I fail is having that vital imagination on my own, I always have to use other people's stories/minds in order to get the good stuff. It's hard to explain really. I appreciate your steam of consciousness monologues alot, cos it gives me alot of crap to absorb and also there's some vital force or spirit to each person when they get passionate about something and it's almost like I can grasp it for myself almost if I hear enough of it, then use it for myself. It doesn't even necessarily have to be deep, but the angsty stuff really is charged with some kind of energy. It's kind of a insatiable hunger for me.
Even the most mundane ppl have so much nuances to them, i kinda hate the term NPC really, I think u just have to take time to extract the wealth inside each person but it takes a while ig.
I think finding out what ur creative process is and capitalizing on it is good, it's sad that college and prim education kills that. I found that as well.
Hmm i dabbled in magic a bit, but not out of my own will, theres some charm makers in my family / some of my family members have some history with that so im extra sensitive when theres ppl that do that stuff and i can feel it but it makes me repulsed / sick as frick. But yeah ive run into people who do that sort of thing and for some reason i dont like the concept of disrupting free will / natural orders even though i know its real. I guess its because im christian and was raised with the thought that sorcerers would be burning in gehenna, the two halves of my fam who were involved in witch craft and the christian half dont talk either so ye.
I think ur hair looking wet 24/7 also makes u look primal im ngl. Like i think eberything hits better when the person talking to you looks like he was sweating out a storm and just got out of a sweat lodge or something.
Dunno why that characteristic stands out to me but ya
Hey Stef, here's the guy with the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia again :'D Your videos are really getting into some serious stuff lately. Gonna leave my two cents again today. Maybe it can give you some inspiration.
For me getting such a stigmatising diagnosis led to me trying to get even deeper into my own psyche. It led to me trying to understand the human psyche on a fundamental level.
What I am thinking after all this time researching and putting own thoughts together is that psychological disorders are, explained really broken down, one or more functions of the psyche becoming stronger developed than others, while the others are being neglected. This causes an imbalance that leads to the psychic body becoming malformed, loosing its capacity to solve certain problems or perform certain tasks.
In my humble opinion, humans have only one center of self but this center of self is switching identities almost all the time which is, in most cases, an unconscious process. Like when you are with your kids you are this identity, when with friends that and when at work you are another. This is necessary and as long as it seems relatively coherent for bystanders it is not noticed. What happens when you switch identities is called dissociation. You disconnet from the previous identity, even losing memory of it for some time, until you switch back to it.
The left and right hemisphere probably fell victim to this dissociation to such a degree that they formed two personalites in the course of our latest human history. To me it certainly seems possible that, like in dissociative identity disorder, our right hemisphere became opressed by the left hemisphere and, like you mentioned, the right hemisphere became schizophrenic because of this opression. It fled into its own world which may be why our dreams seem so wild and seem like they are not making sense.
There was a time I recorded my dreams in a notebook and did certain exercises to train a new way of consciousness, identifying as an observer. This new identity would also be the controller of my life, giving a yes or no to impulses, feelings and thoughts. Yes or no in the sense of letting them form into actions eventually or not.
This new identity, that I purely imagined, switched off multiple times and often for longer periods of times. But I realized it is at a higher level, meaning it can perceive more of the whole personality. Not higher in the sense of better. It is also just a tool of the Self at the center like other identities.
Through this identity as an observer and controller I realized the dissociations I have all the time. And when you closely observe others you notice the dissociations in others, too.
Have a great day, I will watch the rest of the video in the evening. Just wanted to drop this ^^
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Great channel sir! Great essays!
The imagination is a scary thing with bounds unknown as it seems ever vast.
Our minds can imagine all kinds of stuff, some good ideas, other things , terrifying possibilities and philosophies
Our minds are primed for threat detection and for some of us. It can make us neurotic and ever seeing and looking for threats to counter to ensure stability.
Imagination might help us in dealing with these threats, but in really don't know how most people put their exextential anxieties out of their mind.
I mean ideas like the Mandela effect, simulation theory ( not a fan of) etc.With the mandala effect it takes out continuity in time, instead of cause and effect, they can both be replaced randomly in the chain of history with a ser of other events.
To many this would seem to invalidate all their actions.
And then there are the pantheistic people online, which are just a few steps away from solipsism, except with solipsism eveything is in the mind of one perspective, with pantheism we're just the same lonely schizophrenic being with a near infinite amount of personalities.
Sitting in school for 5 periods a day with nothing but a mumbling teacher to my front and a wooden desk covering my lap sort of let my creativity be set free. School gave me no other choice but to imagine art and music and make poetry I could stories and so much more. Provided you are put in a school system that gives up on you after you refuse to work the first few times, it can be quite a creativity-inducing experience lol
😂😂😂😂 the wooden spoon... dont give me PTSD uberboyo lol
I'm listening. I used to be incredibly imaginative, but like you, Jr high robbed me of it. The year was 2001. I owned a couple guitars then, I had an amazing sketchbook, but slowly they got set aside and I got rusty. Now I'm 36 and I'm working on making art and building up an art studio business.
I used to work in product design and what you will find is that whilst everyone is full time trying to exercise their creativity some people just have a superior level of creativity and therefore are the most important persons in the team. I dont believe it is something you can train, you either have it or you don't. Usually in these teams of designers you have one or two people who are the vision behind the product, the rest are just following instruction. I guarantee that this is the same situation among all designers, engineer's and scientists
Facts. Some people just don't have it in them.
This is a fixed mindset mentality. Creativity is a skill like anything else which you can get better at. The belief as to whether or not you will be able to improve is going to be the main factor which determines whether you can or can't.
@@dorsia6938 My opinion is the result of observation not philosophising on the subject, I worked with creative people, product designers and seen it with my own eyes. Do you not think those who were less creative, inventive were not trying to acquire this skill so that they could be promoted and get more money. A friend of mine who is very creative recently told the company he was working for that he would be leaving and it sent the whole company into a complete meltdown. They knew that they would not be able to replace him easily and they were right in that understanding. If creativity and inventiveness was something you could teach in engineering and design departments university's would be churning out Nikola Tesla's but the truth is the majority of people who graduate have very average abilities and will never make it to the top
It’s just like any other trait . It can be trained to the extent that your potential allows just like if you spend 10 years focused on becoming a better sprinter , you’re not going to become Usain Bolt but you will become a far better sprinter regardless of

Oh, the best trip I ever had was that I was the forge master at the edge of the universe at the north poll. I was a sort of wizard black Smith with these awesome red and gold wizard robes, and the weapons I forged were used to keep the demons down the crevice of the underworld. Now while I was the forge master, I was also trying to order a pizza, wheeeeew! (Ordering the pizza was real)
I'm a writer. And artist. I have problems explaining the difference between explaining and showing but when I write, I can switch between both concepts.
When I was in my second year of drawing school, my drawing quality was a 5 out of 10. Then, I skipped a year of drawing school and didn't draw at all, not even at home. The following year, when I returned to drawing school, my drawing skills had improved significantly, reaching a 9 out of 10 for my age. My drawings had improved almost twice as much as they were one year ago before I skipped drawing practices. I believe this improvement happened through mental practice, not in real life, but in my unconscious mind.
I've had to run from my dreams for a long time cause of how non-euclidean and dilated it can feel.
That's what the Military was doing to me. I'm glad I'm not in it anymore. I don't want to lose my soul.

You can learn to draw and improve over all time, if you are so inclined. I always had a little talent, but I wanted to draw and do art anyway, so I had to learn how to improve. I'm not great at it, but I'm not stick figure terrible.

27:10 Hey, how could someone who really, really never remembers his dreams except maybe twice a year, how could he then seek to apply this later mentioned method that requires remembering? For context it's not like i remember something partially, or just need to look at a paper upon waking up with the phrase reminding me to record and remember, it's just simply not there when I wake up.

what about after 50hrs per week working retail or food service job kills it? i had more creativity when i was in the school system than i ever did working a real job in real life.
I’ve noticed that too after focusing a lot more on work
Yeah jobs can kill it aswell, try to INJECT your imagination into your job
See can you visualise eyes open while working
I had a friend who built huge musical capabilities when he was bored in class and just imagined sounds
@@uberboyo good point, daydreaming is good for dull moments or when work is slow. i try to get as much of those as possible lol.
Uberboyoooooooo
Ever heard of Rick Rubin Stef? I think you'll like him a lot. He is a modern old sage that teaches the path of creativity.
The multi-faced god-beings or machine elves are real. I saw them while sleeping, and completely sober, but with my head hanging upside down.
Interestingly, I recently saw Andrew Tate discussing lucid dreaming. He taught himself how to lucid dream at a young age and has done it ever since.
It's an interesting connection given that he is such an articulate and creative speaker.
He's creative and intelligent, a genius probably, but also kind of gross and immoral. At least he's escaped the Matrix, but will be be able to escape the Matrix: Reloaded??
Lucid dreaming is haram
Did he say the part where his lucid dreaming helped him with his human trafficking lol. I wouldn't look up to him too much he's definitely going to prison for a while, and his own statements are what will put him there. I'm not against him I'm glad he's working against the whole woke culture but from my law classes and listening to him I can say he broke lots of laws and unfortunately doesn't realize it. His ego will cause his end.
@@extrememiami pick a side
Hey Steph, are you interested about getting word about some upcoming writers/artists/musicians who've been up to the grass roots work?
If yes, I could drop some links for you to check out.
There are master class musical pieces and paintings waiting to be found out about.
With mushrooms
you know what, you're right, will def start microdosing tomorrow.
How do you generate yout AI thumbnails? Could you please make a video about this?
Thank you. Let's go

What if 5 sense reality is not the only reality and our consciousness is shifting between realities with entirely different sensory requirements when we die.
One time, when I dropped acid, I became the forge master at the edge of the universe. It was at the north pole kind of, and the weapons I made kept the forces of darkness at bay, and it wad like I was stationed there to keep the demons from climbing out of the pit. I had these kick ass robes and bare chested maidens who assisted me......kick ass.
But at the same time I was also microwaving some white castle burgers. I think the burgers were real but hey, motherfucking forge master, man.

Okay so its like, "Bro, my man Brian came across the blood chilling scene of roiling charcoal clouds, lightning flashing harsh momentary flickers, thunder booming, like a wild man screaming. The burnished armor didnt fit Brian well. It was a size too small, but he could still move. The problem was, he didnt want to move. The black dragon circled the obsidian castle that stood jagged against the desert sky. It roared bright flames of luquid magma, eyes aglow with cold blue fury. Uh...fuck this, Brian thought. The screams of the princess gave him the tummy bubbles, so he turned to flee. Then Brian stopped himself. His mouth set in a determined straight line, and he spun back around, drawing his sword. Fine Beatrice had that deformed wonky hand with that crooked pinky, but she was good and beautiful, and he already accepted the 24 pack to save her. No other option left. Brian advanced forward.
Dude the government was experimenting with hemi sync in the 60s. Binaural beats.. etc..

I like it
Beware of unearned wisdom
I have loads of ideas to start a business the issue I have I never do it. When I working in my shitty job I wish I was working on my ideas when I have the time I waste it. Having a idea is only half the battle. Than I get depressed I never do what I was meant to do. I don't know what the cure for this is? I see nothing wrong with taking what is already in reality changing it slightly if you look at the iphone was just all the technology that we had at the time in one phone. Listen/read to a book 100 times you will start to think like that author.
Boyo, we have gone through some very similar mental gymnastics, but also very different. I hear strikingly similar issues to those I had to deal with along with very similar realizations and results. You got there in quite a different way than I did, but the journey still seems like a very familiar trip. A lot of the details about how you got there are very interesting and exciting for me in that I think doing some of the things you did, like the dream journaling especially, might even further develop the connection between my hemispheres. Maybe turn me from a Challenger into a Hellcat with the upgrade to my Hemis.
Also you make me want to read Jung and Nietzsche, both of whom I had only rather poorly formed opinions based mostly on distilled, probably misinterpreted or intentionally misrepresented characterizations of their work. They are, as is of course nearly always the case, much more complicated and much more brilliant and nuanced in their thinking than I was led to believe, and to be honest, what I had learned about them was so unremarkable and made them seem so inconsequential that I had them filed away as a couple of obsolete thinkers who had some good ideas, but ultimately got in the way of themselves so badly that most of their ideas are no longer relevant or valuable, and they were only useful stepping stones, primarily useful in examining their flaws and the mistakes they made. And beyond that I had no recollection of what they actually contributed to society. So I never had any clue that they would be useful to read.
And by the way, I used a lot of psychedelics to get there, but they were not what got me my first reconnections with my right hemi. They just kicked it into high gear and helped me to realize a lot about the nature of reality, and to really learn to trust my gut instinct, which has never led me astray in the 7 years or so I’ve been listening to it.
"Dionysus lives" is good song, its one of best songs i ever heard; and its much better then all others your songs, all other are total junk.
Yeh eat the heap and hope
I do as the BOYO commands! From now on every morning at dawn the moment my eyes snap open I will frantically scribble my dream image's into the back of a acid tab to "micro dose" until I become El Sobre Hombre and a reincarnated transhumanist Carl Jung bursts through the walls of the MIT robotics lab in a glistening silver Arnold Schwarzenegger level ripped body with a 4 foot long corn cob pipe in one hand and the original leather bound Red Book in the other and I am knighted the patron saint of schizophrenia. Where upon I will instantaneously sprout a mustache so large thick and bushy that only my Nietzschean mustache that smells of liver and my eyes with pupils dilated to the point that they are nothing but black will be visible upon my face.
I fuck w you lmao
Interesting, I stopped doing drugs (cannabis/hash) when it made me stop dreaming at night.
For the algorithm
Sounds like trauma caused you to lose your ability to visualize.
That's actually surprisingly common. I read a lot of peoples anecdotes that they lost that capacity without knowing.
You can actually train your visualization by simple practice and focus on projecting with your third eye.
Then there's people with aphantasia. 2% of the population cannot visualize at all, they lack a third eye and do not have visual dreams. Rather, all their thoughts are in the form of conceptualization.
School is a traumatic experience
Have you tried meditating when in a lucid dream ?
Out of curiosity, what is the result?
@@aricori21 I experienced a profound meditation , one of enhanced energy flow between the chakras and being connected to everything. I woke up feeling that I had achieved near alchemy internally. I felt like I had " levelled up " spiritually. Two weeks later I still felt new and improved.
This is something interesting 🤔
What's your political opinion, creator?
Do I quit my ok IT job to improove much faster or keep at it and improove slowly on the side? I have a 1 year cushion right now. Boyos advise me please. Thanks
Don’t make drastic decisions
Creativity is like building muscle… great when you have it… but you have to APPLY it well to a specific task for it to be useful
@@uberboyowhy he should be limited to not making drastic moves?
He could do them, but everything comes at the cost. And evaluating the risk is his responsibility.
I once imagined CGJ found the devil in his mind,
Thats how he knew gesus was in the woman's. Now it seems aliens will take the place soon
