    The common definition of a miracle is an event that shouldn't be possible given our understanding of physical reality. As such, the standard of comparison is the "normal" functioning of reality, which is considered "non-miraculous" by definition. However, if the standard of comparison were shifted to the no-thingness of pre-creation, then everything -- down to the most insignificant and commonplace details of life -- becomes miraculous. This is because there is nothing in nothing that could presume the existence of anything.

      Orion, your psychology videos are amazing and you have some great insights, but metaphysics isn’t your strong suit. The is no creation, and as such no nothingness before creation, because existence exists, and always exists. This is because to be conscious is to be conscious of something. What you have committed is the fallacy of the primacy of consciousness, since if nothing exists, then you are not aware anything, since there is nothing to be aware about, meaning there can’t be consciousness without existence. I suggest you read “Objectivism: Philosophy of Ayn Rand” by Leonard Peikoff to understand this better. As always, love your psychology videos, but I hope you do some more research on Philosophy before making videos on it.

    I had a similar experience a year ago while recovering from the flu. I was a janitor at the time cleaning a glass sculpture gallery. I was looking out the window and for some short amount of time my mind stopped. I was at one with the universe and could see life as an amazing gift. This was the first time I felt true gratitude after suffering lifelong depression. I also no longer feel lonely. Thank you for sharing this!

      ​@@TimothyNyota One comment above mentioned they achieved this state when they were drowning, and when they flat-lined on a battlefield. I myself have experienced similar revelation when I felt ultimate despair and unwillingness to continue living though not exactly contemplating self deletion - I had simply detached from any vision of achievable meaning in life. So my guess is that you might be able to reach this state of consciousness by detaching from the reality of daily human life and surrendering to the power the universe has over you. Simply allow the mind to be, have presence and let the universe do with you as it will anyway. Allow no thoughts, no judgements, only follow the sensations.

      I happen to enjoy my life of being married 30 years, having 3 sons we raised to adulthood which were above average athletes, one played NCAA D1 hockey and one is currently a professional fighter, so we get to live vicariously through that. The oldest is about to have kids so my line will continue. By being married and combining resources, we have two houses and land. You represent a minority of people. You also need to consider that for the entirety of humanity people have bred to get to you. You are now stopping your genetic line that existed throughout history. I personally deem that a fail.

    A post filled with so much truth as always. When the weather warms I go hiking every day to a nearby park, just a beautiful large park and sanctuary. Because it’s so big I can hike to a corner, find a bench and just sit in silence and marvel at nature, the only sounds being birds. I’ve become so addicted to that nothingness, and I also feel really cared for by the universe. I’m so grateful for this. Thank you again Dr. Taraban. I will always love “nothingness”.

    I had an experience in 2003 where I saw the room I was in from a different vantage point. From that point on, my life has not been the same. Additionally, your thoughts remind me of the movie Stigmata when it’s said: “The Kingdom of God is inside you, and all around you, not in mansions of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and I am there, lift a stone and you will find me.” I needed this channel more than you can understand. It’s helped me in ways the world couldn’t. It validates my spiritual thinking and supports my psychology background. Regarding the nothingness, I’m reminded of a comment you made a while back: “Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.” I’ve tried to incorporate the red pill more but, to me, it still falls short in recognizing the amazing spiritual part of our existence. Can’t wait to read your book and to learn more from you!

I saw things i later read about in the Bible & had other confirmation, not that i needed any, but its worth noting. I experienced the timelessness you did. That was one of the things that really struck me. Time only exists here. I believed you had a similar profound experience from a couple things you've said in the past & its also something you can recognize in others when they even hint at it. Its life changing & while i dont truly know why i got to experience what i did besides Grace, i've thought to myself many times, i dont know if i would have made it through the worst moments in life ive gone through since if i hadnt seen beyond it all already.

    This was my experience. I close my eyes and lay still and relaxed on the floor, focusing only on my breathe, feeling the electricity flow through my nerves and amplify throughout my spine...my senses began to fade away and my body felt like it melted into nothingness. "Mushin no Shin"...i was just an observer at peace... with a body that felt like it was flowing in water that couldn't be perceived. After this state of zen nothingness. My physical senses and conciousness heightened. Responding to the mind, the Universe and observer are one, creating "magic and wonder" from the void.

    I had a similar experience. But to me the peaceful, still place outside of space and time was Love. Infinite, eternal, unconditional Love. Why do some people experience Nothingness while others do experience Love? Maybe those who haven't been loved early in their life can't recognize Love? Maybe there are different places out there? Fascinating topic! Thank you so much for sharing, Orion.

    I had a similar experience walking my usual walking path while micro dosing. I looked at tree and thought that tree is perfect, for that tree to be perfect that means everything around it must be perfect. Perfect as it is to exist right now. Then I realised i am prefect, and my wife is perfect and my kids and the universe.
    Prior to this i had glimpses of non- duality, read about it but there is a difference between intellectualising that and knowing it as a profound experience. I too felt my world change that day, change towards acceptance and peace.

    Hi ! Good day to all 🙌😊
    Miracles Yes! I agree miracles happens everyday.
    How brain works, the different kinds of flowers different scents and colours, different taste and colours of fruits especially how come there's water inside coconut 😊. Also one of the amazing things is the water falls 😊. Another miracle for me is life from hopeless to breakthroughs. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Yes there's beauty in everything including sufferings if we can turn into learnings, wisdom and makes us better version of ourselves. On my experience is the power of visualization then it manifest.
    There's what we call God's Omnipresence that's why some people never feel alone .

    "The body of practice is concentration, the function of practice is insight. Pay attention and wisdom naturally results." Learning meditation while doing traditional Japanese martial arts, learning to perform cognitive reframing from reading Buddhist doctrine and studying natural science had taught me how malleable human experience is. Pain of legs in a Japanese sit stops hurting when bathed in awareness, falling in love with a street curb or an electron micrograph is possible if we stare intently enough, caffeine or alcohol withdrawal turns to boundless serenity after one's brain absorbs enough insight from feeling sad, social anxiety turns to generosity practice when identity and self is reexamined. Japanese moonspeak one could not understand before can be imbued with meaning when we work our concentration and imagination. Awe of existence, love of creation and joy are there for everyone willing to put their mind to practice.

    One of the things “Nothingness” told me or showed me is that it wanted to fall asleep and half of itself became the bed(material existence) and the other half fell asleep on it dreaming our lives. Although my experience to Nothingness was a shortcut, which was LSD

    I think a better word for “nothingness” could be “formlessness” or “un-manifested”. I’ve had a near death experience 10 years ago. I also meditate and get to what you described. I am immersed in white light that gives me indescribable peace and joy.

    Einstein said "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
    I had a virtually identical experience with my eyes open while riding my bike one evening. As I approached a water fountain in front of the municipal building in the town where Iived, I say it as if it were on fire with the energy of creation, emerging directly and continuously from nothing. I was 16. I learned to meditate soon after that and have done so everyday since. That was 50+ years ago.
    The Catholic mystics, especially St Teresa of Avila and St John of the Cross, ouine how to achieve this state through meditation and contemplation.

    The nothingness part isn't relatable, but I did have an experience one day that I just suddenly started to appreciate everything in life and in this universe few years ago.
    I also have no idea how I got there. I just did, and my depression has been miraculously cured since then.
    Personally I don't remember I did anything particular to earn that other than reading some religious books at the time.

    @6:28 - Beauty + Truth go together. It's like some golden rule to this cosmos. There's some kind of symmetry to it. Can anyone explain why they don't?
    Even if there's an "ugly truth"-then being aware of it is beautiful

    This experience is the death of the ego... or in other words, letting go... no longer clinging to life... living in the now/moment. Every experience is like the first time cuz there is no past and no future. Watts calls this the mystical experience. I call it 'walking thru a door'
