>Not OP
watched the whole video... he has some interesting ideas but says things hypnotically
>fucking 17 min repetitive intro
>the whole video itself is an intro to his theory
>could have explained it in 15-20 min
>at the end he says if you question him it's an ego trap and are wrong

idk if he's looking for adepts or only money, but you can feel he's selling something

tldr; he talks about how "you" don't exist, there are no perceptors of reality, everything you think is false, reality itself exist as a consciousness and you have no free will.
you have to destroy everything you think of yourself (not only ego, but everything in your psyche) to get to the truth....which he hasn't found

idk the nature of reality but feel that following this dogma is a killjoy and escapism from the consequences of your own life

Yes the guy is selling stuff.
Yes he's videos could be better constructed.

But I still feel watching them is useful and there is a lot of smart stuff in them.
No one will give you the absolute truth: you have to yourself decide what parts to believe and what not (as this guy in the video says at some point too).

Also things he's talking about and we are talking about here aren't easy. just saying them bluntly isn't enough. You have to see it many different ways and eased into it before you can accept it in a deeper level. Like you can be happy even if there was things around you that you don't like. You can never control everything. If you think about it this also means if your family is murdered you could still be happy.

Have you ever heard about people who have spend years in the remote temples and found their inner strenght? Why do you think it took them so long to achieve this? It wasn't just because they finally had some idea they haven't thought before or that some master finally said just the right words: it's because just hearing the truth doesn't make you really understand it and there isn't just one realization to be had.
