    What "sense of spirituality" would you expect to pick up from a fitness prank channel?

    Firstly, he didn’t just appear on fitness channels he had personal social media profiles in the past too. Secondly, that’s a clear indication of my point. What makes you think a heavy materialist hedonist with a pompous YouTube channel would be equally pursing spirituality? None. Absurd to think people would believe it otherwise.

    Please research the guy. 

    The only caliber of spirituality he would have been pursuing would have been no more than the regular euphoric orgasm received from one of his many women.

    He was of no spiritual subscription whatsoever.

    I wish him the best but he is far from what he has claimed.

    @Jacobsrw here is the proof

    On 4.45 "I Do Spiritual practice cince 3 years" 

    https://youtu.be/XZ8ZoZBb0FY

     

    Dude, that was posted 2 weeks ago ? Of course that can be claimed after the fact. He’s stated this relentlessly but provided no prior evidence before his “awakening” further support this. This is basically redundant information.

    @Jacobsrw I stand by what I said, I highly doubt your knowledge and understanding. I wouldn't want to make such gross assumptions based off of your few comments :D

    I respect your opinion. Nonetheless, I urge you to look at things with more nuance and meticulousness than they first appear.

    By the way, Connor is on Spiritual path since 3 years. He said it in one of his videos

    So he is not a beginner 

    This I doubt. I’ve seen much of his previous work and persona long before this. He emanated no sense of spirituality from the many appearances I observed. So many seem to be making myopic assumptions having only known of him for several weeks. I urge those to do some further research.

    @Jacobsrw If you understood you wouldn't be doubting. You're being a spiritual gatekeeper. 

    You are making a false equivalency. One can doubt while still understanding, perspective is not binary. I could say the same to those who vehemently believed otherwise. Why are you not doubting him if all you have is merely the recording of several YouTube clips?

    All you’ve done is made a gross assumption off the appearance of what you’ve seen.

    The mirage of water in a desert appears real until it is closely observed to be seen as an illusion.  

    Don’t simply just conclude off the basis of empiricism.

    come on guys, it sounds many people here are jealous about this guy who had a lifestyle like the complete opposite of spirituality and now his progression with one drug experience is so more faster than many people commenting here.

    He is pretty cool to give a shit about his audience, shocking them totally with deep spirituality stuff.

     

    Or could it be that some are just not naive enough to be persuaded off simply viewing a collection of 5 videos?

    You are are granting him far more privilege than you could ever know. For all you know, he could have the the same level of consciousness as a rock. You just don’t know from simply watching a recording.

    Possibly, but the good one expects may not be the good they desire. He could implode form the inability to maintain himself.

    Awakening on camera is a challenge because it reinforces a sense of other and gets one in one's head. It becomes a distraction from going deep within.

    At some point he's gonna have to realize that he is talking to himself and that there's no one here but him to awaken.

    Best of luck to him. Not easy stuff. Hopefully he isn't doing it for the views and attention.

    That precisely is the only thing merely keeping him together. If he were to see the futility in all the social media antics he was propagating he would end himself. The access to connective media may be what keeps many alive in this work but it also compounds delusion if not used appropriately. 

    Whatever is required to happen for him will happen.

    But this is always a possibility whether ones films their awakening process or not. It's just that when it isn't filmed, no one knows about it.

    True.

    14 minutes ago, Someone here said:

    How do you measure that?  Is there an objective scale somewhere in the universe for measuring awakenings?  Is there a holy book or ultimate authority somewhere that gets to decide the levels of Awakening and who's "woke" and who's not?.  If awakening is subjective experience how can you make objective judgments about who's awake and who's not based on your subjective experiences? .  like when Leo says I'm conscious of XYZ and if you are not conscious of XYZ like me then you are not awake.. Tada! Lol 

    Thats because the one doing the measuring is illusory. Therefore, could never be accurate. One can only approximate probabilistic estimation, which most of us here have done.

    The futility of the finite self is that it can yes only measure what is subjective. However, measurability ultimately collapses and the reality of things become seen for what they really are, nothing. Thus, measuring turns out to have no more utility than a rock does for you digestive system.

    Life is so awesome but I’m always standing in my own way, blinding myself to everything. Idk why I keep doing this

    That’s all I freaking do. Constantly. Constantly standing in my own way and in the way of others, and also others in my way.. and on it goes

    this is tiring ;( So so tiring. I just wanna be free and look at things as they are

    You are beginning to see the futility of the seperate self which limits reality. This is an empowering process, do not deny it. Allow it to purify you :)

    Awakening comes in many degrees. He may have some mild, early version of it. Obviously he will need years to mature and this is his process.

    Agreed. It’s a good start but who knows whether he will endure it. Some have committed suicide over such inability to comprehend. I guess awakening is inevitable either way. It’s just whether one wants to enter it consciously or unconsciously.

    It is genuine FOR HIM. It's his way.

    Keep in mind that the process of awakening, if actually filmed, will look very different -- much more messy and incoherent -- than some interview with Eckhart Tolle or Osho 30 years after the fact.

    Now that we have YouTube, more and more awakening processes will be filmed in real-time. And they will not look pretty or be grounded like some enlightened master sitting on a pedestal. It's gonna look a lot more "real". By which I mean, you're going to see the ego-mind acting out and airing its delusions. That is real. That's part of the process. Especially for young and immature people.

    Agreed but I was referring to his claimed awakening. His expression of it may appear real but his alignment to the absolute does not. Incomprehensibility does not equate to awakening, integration does.

    To me, he appears to have experienced incomprehensible insight and is now sporadic and fragmented in trying to interpret them. In other words, his level of development does not match his mystical experience. Thus, his mind is having a breakdown due to the inevitable incongruence.

    Expect one to go insane without the proper foundation.

    One thing is I noticed:  I feel like there has to be some 'spiritual handbook' or manual out there available underground to make a business out of spirituality, because when he became "awakened", his videos are exactly word for word describing enlightenment or awakening in an almost almost too good fashion.  Almost came out sounding like Leo out the gates.  Without prior investment in spirituality, how did he cough up all that info in a short amount of time without referring to something?  

    I hope some of you see right through this facade because you might have to dive deeper into your spiritual work if you find this convincing or real lol.  

    My thoughts also. It just doesn’t feel genuine. A part of me roots for the dude but my intuition tells me he is heavily deluded.

    @Jacobsrw Right!

    I don't remember the last time I went to a club. But I dance nearly every day ? 

    Pure joy ?

    That’s awesome ?

    Maybe we should start a dancing thread complex of everyone’s dancing, strictly flow state dancing only ?

    A book, a movie, a video game? 
     

    I hear comparisons all the time, “life is like a movie”, well what are our egos the extension of? 

    Life and the entire reel from which the mind constructs of it is but a story. A story created by the mind to entertain the mind.

    This may sound nihilistic but when you really conceive of it directly you are afforded the opportunity to detach from stories and create them at will. You seek that life is nothing but a story created from the infinite potentiation of nothingness.

    My first mystical experience rudely showed this to me. Extremely powerful.

    I just danced my way to the grocery store and back home. It was the best thing ever. I enlightened everyone and everything in my way ?

    The benefits of dancing are endless. It puts you right in the centre of the moment. It's phenomenal for expanding body awareness and releasing tension. It puts a smile on your and everyone else's face. It aligns you with your breath. It elevates your state of being.

    Now you might be thinking; "but I don't know how to dance..."

    Oh but you do. 

    Just let go of the pre-calculated steps. Surrender to the flow. Let your body do its thing. Improvise. Float. ?

    Dance! Don't hold the wall! ??

     

    Love this!

    The power of flow and fluidity. It truly emanates in the throughout ones being so powerfully if they allow it to.

    Dancing is one such act I find fascinating. In some ways I see people being in their most awakened state when just mindlessly dancing. Had they known that the essence of life is a dance maybe they wouldn’t depend on a club in which to do it.

    Yep, he's acting dangerous right from the beginning and encourage people to kill his higher self. There are so many bitches commenting about Connor being dead and say RIP repeatedly. This is bullying and it's pretty dangerous for a vulnerable soul.

    Indeed. He obviously has encountered insights about this work that his followers are far too deluded to appreciate. Hence, their ignorant and void statements. His audience is equivalent to that of Trumps development from what I could see.

    Hopefully he finds footing from which to develop.

    He's a good guy and we all do dumb shit from time to time. Not that it is entertainment but he renounced to the shallow life for a noble reason... don't know how many of you guys would make yourself look crazy with so many followers and so many bitches available to fuck. Maybe he's deluded, maybe not but what do you expect to see, a zen master at the beginning of the path? B|

    True. Although I fear an onset of suicide ideation or the like if he fails finding stability. Awakening is extremely powerful and for some, too powerful to bear.

    What’s most concerning is the audience in which follow him. One holds a level responsibility when commanding that size of audience. You cannot simply be ignorant in the material you produce.

    You're all bitchin' about him but it is chilling for me to see him meditating. I leave my TV on while he lays in bed and fall asleep everytime xD

    I like the guy. He has balls even though he may look nuts.

    People here are compartmentalising. Ones desperate cry for liberation is not mere entertainment.

    I saw a few of his videos before.

    He seems now to be close to where I was a few years ago where I had a spiritual ego too even though I never did pick up. He is trying to find his way to enlightenment but doesn't know how and doesn't understand what he is actually doing.

    It seems like he is starting to get exhausted by stage orange and start to move into green, but still addicted to the success of orange so he has a spiritual ego, that's normal.

    Good assessment. I agree. He appears to be experiencing a tumultuous conflictive of dissonance between the insights he has realised and the stage of his present development. It’s far too much for a newbie to try and comprehend. He may very well implode from an incapacity. But my hope is that he moves his way up the spiral.

    You sound smarter than anyone else on this forum...yet so negative at the same time.  I would try taking one good thing from him, and compliment that, rather than demonizing the rest... that's very easy to do.  His content is superior to 90% of the other crap on Youtube.

    Fair point. Each to their own I guess. That’s an assumption you‘ve made that I cannot change.

    I see very little positive in what he has so far shared, that is my personal view. Spirituality masquerading in ego is far more dangerous than ego as itself. Carefully observe his material and you may consider my point.

    One golden nugget does not justify the earth surrounding it.

    @Jacobsrw why does he need to convince you? Is it not the fool who looks to be convinced? We all play the fool on occasion, but why? 

    No I’d say it is the fool whom acts that demands convincing since that is the point of their acting to begin with. Have a look at what he is doing. The actions he demonstrates reflect a desperate demand for gratification and validation of the awakening he believes he has achieved.  

    Agreed. And I feel my foolishness would only be reinforced had I not not be honest in my critique of him.

    I seen a couple of videos of people going around asking americans what they like most about the us and a lot them answers freedom. And it seems to be rooted in a LOT of pride. But here in Europe it's not emphasized at all.

    Why is freedom emphasized so much?

    And what does it really mean from an american collective perspective?

     

    Firstly, ultimate freedom is an utter delusion. It is a direct stemming from notions such as liberalism. Ultimate freedom can not be granted to a finite self because they are polar opposites. To be a self one is limited, to have freedom one must be unlimited. Therefore, freedom is impossible from such a position. 

    Interactional and contractional freedom is possible, since it itself is limited. So one can have freedom up until a point it impinges upon a collective consensus. Beyond that point it is selfishness masquerading as freedom.

    True freedom is consciousness. The only consciousness there is. Freedom of infinite imagination, from which everything exist.

    To answer you question about America, I’d say partly it desires freedom purely out of greed and power. For to have freedom is to be unrestricted by surrounding forces. Hence, America’s fascination with the military, guns, surveillance and economic precedents.

    America thrives and operates from a materialistic framework. In the perspective of the collective, this only deludes people into granting their apparent “physical“ experience over the awareness behind it. In other words, people are locked in paradigm wars of materialism because their environment produces it. Who’s materialism is more superior than another’s, that’s all we see in the world at the moment.

    @Jacobsrw If you understood what he was saying you would not think he was wrong or had a "spiritual ego" I watched all of his videos on his new channel where he talks about his insights. He is VERY awake, and seems to be completely authentic. 

    I never said he was wrong but that what he speaks is stemming from a spiritual ego.

    I understand what he stated but you seem to be assuming what one says qualifies their level consciousness. This is absurd. Anyone can mask their level of development with deceptive role play. I’m just not ignorant enough to blindly assume he has some form of monopoly on the path to awakening. He merely entered of recent, why presume he has instantly purified himself of all his delusions?

    He does not appear awake to me nor does his historical or recent social media presence suggest it.

    You’re romanticising over ones words rather than the content of their character.

    @Jacobsrw follow him ? (May you be too quick to judge xD)

    xD what do you reckon will happen on the fast? I think he's doing exactly what is necessary, given where's he's coming from, and i feel he shall get exactly what he needs to bring more light into this world, it's literally the fast track. en-lighten-ment (in light mind).....this will indeed put him to the test.

    Although he may not get what he and anyone who might be cheering for him, are looking for, i guess the results aren't even what matters 

    I have no idea what will happen. But to me he is doing this all for some fictitious fanatics to entertain his fans. I don’t think the fast is for growth but for “proving” a self-fulfilling point. It’s all for show. An endless media stream that will inevitably construct a malicious ego as a result.

    He is playing with fire and underestimates the depth of this work. He appears to be playing the role at the moment and seems content in doing so. And sadly, I feel this just gives spirituality a bad wrap.

    If one has the audacity to flamboyantly pontificate spirituality in such a way reality will violently drag them through more disturbance than they could ever anticipate.
