Yeah, listening to you explain your concepts over video was much nicer than reading your explanations of them on screen. I understood better and liked you much more over video, lol. It's interesting how that works. 

I reckon this is how it would work if I were speaking to you directly also

Totally normal when you're on the spot, especially if you haven't really discussed said topics in spoken language before. It can feel like you are drawing from an empty well. My mind runs empty whenever on the spot and becomes almost tautological 🤫 until thought reinforcements arrive.

I haven't ever spoken about them vocally so openly and within the context of actualized.org and similar nondual teachings. So sometimes there were some colloquial phrases used to fill in gaps while I considered. The contrast here is that I am well used to speaking in front of crowds, performing and hosting meetings with many stakeholders (but business related, clients and government ministers). So I have confidence in my conduct and no performance anxiety. I am happy to say "I don't know the answer - but I can get it if required". But this was VERY different. It was a direct accessing of a totally different aspect of my mind. Strange shit came out I didn't even plan on elucidating on. It was very, very fun and I am glad others got something out of it. Appreciate your words.

How did you get that video of me? 

[Natasha Tori Maru]

@EdgeGod900 You are so pessimistic. 

The humorous part is @Jirh and @Joshe typically clash and fight with me more than most on this forum (not in a bad way, in an intellectually stimulating and respectful one). 

You just need a cuddle!

It is horrible, though. 

I strongly dislike my accent.

Round 2 interview I'll have a proper label mic so you will have clearer brutality in your ears...

I used to be skeptical of sounding foreign in my English accent, until I learned about the history of the place I'm from and how the dialect was "made" so to speak and it made me really do a complete flip where I started to really endear it.

It sort of clicked for me once we had a professor from the same place who lectured us in English once and he just completely embraced that rough and really apparent accent, it almost made me want to undo whatever moved me away from that (I have a lot of high school friends from international schools where I learned to speak more "native" English). I still sound like that in some moments but I like it now.

I didn't watch the video yet by the way, I have a hard time watching long videos currently for some reason 🫠

 

This is the guy I'm talking about by the way:

You gotta love the way you sound.  That is your voice.  Whatever accent you have is good.

 I want that film to be good - but I am hesitant to get hyped. Pessimist in me >.<

I have a mad accent. If it annoys anyone that's a good sign that the people who do like it like are huge fans of it haha.

@Cubbage I enjoy your speech patterns, pacing and accent - I recall noting that in your video for Majora's Mask while I was slicing up vegetables for dinner

Cheers mush! I rewatched that video after you mentioned that the other day. It was actually really helpful to see that again as I recognised that was the video where the 'Vivec style' emerged and has been evolving ever since. It was like an inflection point for my channel cause my voice is fuuuuccked up in all the years leading up to that one 🤣 wouldn't have watched it otherwise, so thanks for that.

This is not a very charitable title for the video -- "I Spoke to an Insider From the Internet’s Strangest Spiritual Forum."

Honestly in this day and age on YouTube, that's the only way you're gonna be able to reach some viewers outside the regular. It's a symptomn of the times. Any creator would rather name their titles in a properly appropriate fashion, but the algorithm punishes you for this so badly that it's hard to maintain integrity. Struggled finding a balance myself.
