How is it possible for a bag of meat and bones to ask the question "what am I"? Animal's don't contemplate their own existence. This is crazier than you may think, for an organism to wonder what it is and to notice the weirdness and absurdity to ask that is the mystery.

@Leo Gura made me cry! That was sad man. I feel bad for the baby and the cop. Truly sad.

Target as well.

@Leo Gura will you make a video on this topic in the future? The world of Mental health and Disorders is so important and fascinating, what is schizophrenia, ect??? It makes me question my own mental health and my own experiences when trying to look at what's going on with someone that has a disorder. It goes back to the question, what is consciousness? This question goes so deep especially in the world of understanding Mind. Also psychedelics, they produce these mental states or do they merely draw out what is already there? Hallucinations, and psychosis, why do psychedelics put one in states that can be interpreted as mental disorders? It can be frightening for someone having a strong trip that feels psychotic but an extremely expanded state of consciousness but you know you can't tell someone, especially a psychiatrist because they will tell you that you are having a episode and put you on drugs ironically.

This was 8 years ago!!!! Narcissism

The truth of relativity is strong. Perception warps, you have to control yourself not to do anything rash or dumb, you have to be mentally strong to stay calm. It can feel like trying to breathe in a tight box, or walking through a dangerous alley with all sorts of unpredictable weirdness. It can also be ecstatic but when your out sailing in the ocean of mind, mind leads.

That's a solid observation. People use the defense mechanisms against their parents or siblings when they were younger even in relationships. Someone once said that a woman doesn't treat you the way she treats her father, she treats you the way her mother treated her father.

Then it was a dumb joke because Hussein is a smart guy

I can smell this video

Check out Leo's episode " The 9 stages of ego development" part 1-3. There is a link in the description of an in depth 90 page article of this model by Susan which goes into insane depth of how an individual mind thinks, evolves and survives. Check it out. Life transforming

@Leo Gura Susan cook greuter is so underrated, I'm reading her paper and looking at some interviews of hers. Do you have any more resources, books and recommendations to further deepen my understanding. You can pm me if you want, I really want to touch those higher stages, watch for self deception and reassure myself especially at the construct aware stage, it can be disorienting and quite lonely

Leather lungs 💪🏽 🫁 hahah. I don't smoke anymore, however maybe in the future I will use the pure cannabinoids chemical in small doses very infrequently just
