Osaid

Yeah Vsauce is great, glad to see he's still making cool videos. I remember seeing his video on "What is consciousness" back when I had a materialistic paradigm and being so intrigued.

I've been in a similar situation before, trying to transcend the pain by observing and contemplating it. It's tough. Good luck.

lol how does that even end up on snap

Lmao 7 more hours. Someone in the comment section made a joke about how this podcast would reach 10 hours since you guys both make such long videos, and it's even surpassed 10 hours now.

lol I don't think he's actually banning people

At least I'm not alone

uh oh

You might be oversleeping, or some habit may be causing you to oversleep. Or maybe, your sleep is low quality and it is being disturbed, so you wake up feeling groggy. Eating a big meal close to bed time could interfere with sleep. Try to improve the quality of your sleep, if there is room for that, by keeping your room cool and dark. White noise also helps. By the way, the blue light from outside that appears in the morning is a good natural mechanism for waking you up. It will make it easier to wake up, so maybe keep the curtains open. However, this advice is not helpful if you sleep so late that the sun comes up, as the blue light will prevent you from falling asleep, so take it with some nuance. Dark = increased melatonin, light = decreased melatonin.

You can access some multiverses pretty easily, if your criteria for a multiverse is radically different physics or laws. For example: dreaming, astral projection, psychedelics, etc.

How I interpret it: Sinning = being selfish or being a devil Being selfish prevents you from being selfless or godlike, and so it is phrased that they fell from God's grace.

bruh

lmao someone in the comments made a joke about how it would be 10 hours long since they both make such long videos

I only get blue balls if I purposefully edge myself for a really long time, I'm not sure if it is normal to get it so easily. Are you currently doing no-fap? Have you ever done it? Maybe you over-exerted yourself, maybe masturbating could help tbh. Or maybe its because your stomach is too full or something. Try to eliminate factors and pay attention to how you feel.

fasting, and eating things that aren't sugar

Well, ofc there is gonna be stress when the thing you look to comfort for in the morning is taken away from you. I think there would be similar findings if you took away someone's coffee for a week or so, or anything else they like eating or doing. And yes, food does have a significant impact on mental health. Simply eating can reduce cortisol and instantly make you feel less depressed. But, there is also such a thing as overeating. I think it is possible to adapt to a routine where you don't have food in the morning, but of course you will have stress and withdrawal symptoms before you get there.

I noticed that too, was wondering where the crowd was coming from

troll?

omg I was about to say, but then I thought nah I must be remembering wrong. I'm pretty sure its from your video called "What is Intelligence?"

Big picture thinking is less limited than small picture thinking, because it includes more of reality. If your thinking is not holistic, then as a result, your understanding is not holistic. Consequently, you end up with a more myopic view of reality and what is actually happening in reality, and this will translate into the things you do. For example, you could take a painkiller to combat your headache, but that by itself is a very myopic solution because it ignores what is actually causing the headaches. All it does is suppress the symptoms of the cause. This leaves you endlessly experiencing headaches and buying painkillers. A more holistic approach would be to find out what is actually causing the headache and removing it directly. This removes the headaches and also the need for painkillers. You can go even further and ask yourself: What sort of side effects do these painkillers actually have? What do these painkillers actually do to my body, at a more scientific level? and etc. There's so many examples of situations like the one above you can find in every day life, just gotta start being more cognizant of it.

More specifically, I would recommend watching Leo's videos about survival/ego. They go very deep and are related to your questions.

I don't see it, maybe clear your cache or change browsers

I'll have certain songs which aren't as good that I listen to in the mean time lol

Sometimes when I find songs that are really beautiful, I will purposefully abstain from them out of fear that I get desensitized to them. I only listen to them very sparingly. I think its reasonable to believe a music detox could work as a dopamine detox and potentially help with focus. I think it is something you can get addicted to, just like watching TV.

Well, to answer your title bluntly, I would say they are the same thing. I think what he is trying to do with this specific analogy is separate you from the idea that you are just the body, by making you realize that there is "something else" which is aware of the body. This line of thinking exposes the fallacious nature of dualistic thinking, but at the same time, it tackles the problem from a dualistic paradigm, and so the analogy itself is ultimately dualistic. This is similar to when you meditate and you realize that you are not your thoughts, but rather the observer of thoughts. Although this analogy does not explicitly address the fact that the observer and perceived are one, it does help to point you in realizing that the things you identify with aren't actually you, by virtue of the fact that there is always "something else" that seems being aware of that object. Basically, he is trying to point you towards the fact that whatever finite object you try to identify with, there always seems to be something else that is being aware of that finite object, and so it makes no sense to identify with some finite object as an identity. It is a good starting point for deconstructing your identity, although flawed in the sense that it is dualistic. If you go even deeper, you realize that the finite object is actually aware of itself.

You can realize that your everyday life is truly spiritual, which is what people are telling you here, but I'm assuming you're looking for something that will seem truly spiritual even from a paradigm which is not adjusted to spirituality. IME, experiencing a synchronicity is very good for this, although I'm not sure how you will be able to consciously conjure one up, just keep an eye out for them.
