The experience I had with ayahuasca was the closest to Ego death that I had. And you are right saying that such experiences are impossible to describe with words. You have to BE it to understand. During my experience I WAS mother earth, I was a hundred different animals with full awareness and without any thoughts. The plant medicine communicated with me and said life is really simple, don’t make it complicated. I asked it ‘can I eat meat?’ - ‘yes, you can eat anything’ it replied. Then I asked ‘what eats humans?’ - ‘Time eats humans’ it answered.
"Time eats humans". Can't deny truth where i see it. Very profound.
I love this, I have had similar experience's, Im happy u got to see it all.
I love the way that aya gives a peace to ego pull and lets us be with just the lifeforce.
@@MrPoonomatic yes, I wish as many people as possible could experience it.
Yeah, its like you are the observer and observing at the same time.
This world has one constant and that is pain. Everything ends in pain. I want to go back to the void. It doesn't hurt there.
To not suffer is to not experience at all. To suffer is to endure, and thus to live
The body is pain. This internet here may be able to manifest and build abundance however
The world isn't pain. The world can be broken up into seperate parts of pain and feeling good. It might seem hard where you are right now, and trust me, I've been there before, but just know that there's always a time that this pain is let up. What I've realized about myself that might just apply to you, is that by distancing myself from depressing videos and just heavy, introspective videos in general, I feel alot happier. I know that people like aperture are doing a good job and expressing there wonderful opinions, but I recommend just focusing on the little things in life. I don't k ow how old you are, but pick up a sport. Pick up a hobby. Try to improve yourself just a little bit every day. You got this dude
The one thing I don't think even God can do, is not exist. If you erased all matter, energy, consciousness, and had an infinite void, you've only re-establishjed the conditions under which infinite awarness emerged in the first place. Although we can't think in terms of time, beginnings, and endings, with something eternal. One path to understanding this is the Buddhist ideas about the void. There can't be nothing because
Everything is nothing. Infinity = zero.
@@TheMoopMonsterThe void is beautiful but it can be scary feeling your memories slipping away, everyone and everything you ever loved. The feeling of no pain, fear, jealousy, loneliness, discomfort or stress is the best rest you can imagine though.
I experienced ego death when I underwent general anesthesia. When the chemicals entered my body, I was fully conscious and told myself that I shall do my best to stay awake.
Then, while I was contemplating how to accomplish just that...
..the doctor woke me up.
A truly amazing experience, being awake then being awakened! I did not even notice that I fell unconscious or that 4 to 5 hours have passed. So this is what it is to be dead. If the doctor did not wake me up for a million years it would not matter, it isn't that bad.
This experience compleetely removed my fear of death, forever!
yeah but your body is still alive so we can never really no what death feels like
When do you ever notice you’re unconscious?
@@CowTypeSh Of course, when I said "A truly amazing experience", I meant that experience of being awake and then awakened ... it was something that has never happened to me before. That thing, as a whole was the experience. Obviously I did not specifically mean experiencing anything during the unconscious state. Context is king!
yea I'm of the same belief. I literally tell people do you remember what it was like on July 7 1872 and they look at me all weird like of course not. Then I say well that's what death is like. You were non existent millions of years before you were born and you will go back to the state of non-existence for the next million years after death. It didn't hurt that you didn't know what it was like in 1872. Therefore the state of non existence doesn't hurt because you're unaware that you don't even exist 😅
@@dadnonlyd3 Exactly! My question to people though, is, "What was it like hunting the Mammoths?" :)
The problem with comparing birth to death is that at birth we are not self-aware or memorably conscious of our surroundings and the fact that we are alive and what we are losing in the face of no longer existing.
As we grow we come to experience, love, find ourselves and what we enjoy most. I know I will not experience death once I am dead but it is the lack of experience that scares me most, all the music I love that I will never hear again, my fiances face I'll never look upon or kiss, all the amazing things in the far distant future I'll never experience, advancements, events, the feeling of a cool breeze or the sun on my skin. I never want to lose that.
i’m not a medical expert by no means but if you want to overcome your fears, if you’re in an area where it’s legal, there are psilocybin treatment centers and many patients come out with beautiful insight and and often overcome their fear of death
@@justin9179… great marketing
Fear of death is really fear of loss. Like losing a character in a game, and all the time you've put into building it.
That's why so many young people are fearless, they have nothing to lose. As you fall in love, make money, build a home, have kids you become more conservative in how you live bc you don't want to lose any of it. You move from fearing you'll never be happy to fearing you'll lose the people and things that bring you happiness.
Do you remember being born? You won’t remember dying either
@@lrm52283it’s the process for me. I’m not afraid of being dead, because infinity will pass in 0.00 seconds. You don’t experience time when you’re asleep, so it’s the same when you’re dead. The moment I die, the entire future of the universe will be realized. It’s that transition from alive to dead, actually dying, that I’m afraid of; slowly losing that sense of living.
If there’s an afterlife, that’s a different story; I’m absolutely terrified of the possibility of living the exact same day an infinite amount of times, going insane for a billion years an infinite amount of times, etc.
Man oh man, the first 10 mins of this video summarized some thoughts/feelings I've been having very recently so it really hit home. I thought I was the only person who had those kinds of thoughts, it's comforting knowing I'm not the only one.
Haha yup! I’ve slowly realized there’s a lot more people who have these thoughts than I expected. It’s a beautiful thing and we’re all slowly becoming more aware!
I thought i was the only one too. You guys are my type of people
you guys should check out ‘Stop Having Kids’. they are a really cool organization supporting anti-natalism
Me too! I’ve been thinking about pain and suffering and death a lot lately. Since I experience a lot of pain. And cared for each of my parents through their journey to death. For both of them and myself I’d say life no matter how challenging, life is worth the pain and suffering that is a natural byproduct of being alive. Having said that I have also experienced the desire not to be alive. But only temporarily. As my mum always taught me: don’t apply a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Wise words!
There is also a community on reddit for people like us
This entire video gave me an epiphany that I have been searching for for years. Every topic you covered directly related to current problems in my life that I felt overwhelmed by. I’ve never left a comment like this before, but genuinely, thank you so much. This has inspired me to start working on myself again. I struggle heavily with procrastination and your point about death regrets and our free time really stuck with me. Just got to work an hour early, on a full stomach, ready to get a little workout in for the first time in a YEAR. I appreciate you more than you know sir. Thank you again.
I’m glad to read that. Keep it going. Good luck to you!
This comment makes me feel like I put my foot in my mouth with my ranty one. Maybe I should listen to the whole thing.

This boy is good, somebody tell him he don't miss! Really admire the way your mind works
No 🧢 clap👏🏿
Why?
@@Iveyenahs why doesn't, Aperture miss? Why does he need someone to tell him? Why is he commenting on CZcams? Why are we here? Why is your comment so vague? Why what, exactly?
If by "the way his mind works" you mean you like how he grabs idea, quotes, and witty little statements from other people, and then presents them to a large group of unaware people as if he came up with these ideas himself. Then yeah, I can see why. The fact is that he is essentially a liar and loves boasting and basking in the idea that he has had some sort of profound awareness. Really he's just a self loathing parrot if you ask me.
@@chriscook2479I mean, that’s both how language and education have always worked. I’d venture to say it’s very likely that you’ve never had an original thought either, especially given that there may be infinite parallel timelines. All of this is meaningless, including this conversation and your entire existence. So why spending it being an evil little cretin?
It’s only five dollars, but for me It’s a gesture of recognition for the work you do and the mind you share with us all that I appreciate. I hope you continue to create content not only for my own selfish reasons, but for your own satisfaction of doing something you love as the in depth work and thought you put into these videos shows. Very thought provoking/expanding content which I very much appreciate. You are my later evening content consumption while relaxing, having a drink, and looking to unwind and open up the mind. All the best, take care!
Damn he doesn't even like it _💀_
It wasn't even 5$. You just had to give $4.99 😢
It’s rude. The CZcamsr should acknowledge that generous gift.
I’ll say thank you for him/her.
You should cancel the gift.

Life is a terminal illness, the worst one of all as a matter of fact. It's the longest lasting and the most painful. I've learned that we either die young or live long enough to wish we had.
So sad you feel this way ...
We all want to die at some point.
So true..

I relate to this so much.
Get help mf
Grown up as a Hispanic American, in a Hispanic predominantly Spanish speaking family where it's encouraged and it's seen as a mark of manhood, maturity and growth to have children, at whatever age that happens. It's very hard to disentangle from that hard conditioning. In fact in that society it's even said that if you reach x age and don't have kids, something is "wrong with you". Well I'm in my 30s, I haven't had any. I don't have plans to have any. I don't even associate myself with that group anymore. I am no patriot of my parents country, nor of the US either. I don't have hard and fixed beliefs. I didn't even finish school. It took years to undo the psychological damage I experienced WITHIN the "family" itself, let alone the "outside" world. Years of reeducation, relearning and shedding of ideas that had been implanted in me since childhood. I'm an introvert and am alone about 99.9% of the time with the exception of having to do mandatory survival tasks. This video hits home for me because I lived and am living the perfect example of why just having kids is a bad idea. My own philosophy has been for a long time now, if I will bring a child yo the world just to go through what I did, I might as well never. Who knows I might make a good parent, maybe. But until I feel confident in that decision I won't do it and at this point it may never happen. I'm also done with the fomo mentality. I'm not missing out on anything just like my mother wasn't missing out on anything when she had me.

I prefer never to have been.
Not possible. This life isn’t anything but you are something. An infinite being sent here to learn.
I sometimes feel this way, but the more I live, the less I think this way. There is no point in wishing for something else now that I am here - just going to do my best to enjoy the ride - soon it will be nothingness again.
You have always been, also never existed either.

Life is NOT short.....just stare at a clock and see how long a minute really lasts.
60 seconds! 🤯
Or do a plank for a minute🤣 you’ll truly understand just how long a minute is
One more and one less just like birthdays !
As they say “Time isn’t short, we just waste a lot of it.” -Paraphrased, Seneca
I absolutely love hearing your voice. You do so well learning proper pronunciations especially of names you cite in this video. Keep up the good work. Very impressive video!❤
This is the best video I have ever witnessed ❤️ thank you for creating it.
Fear of death is just the program delete it
Loved your video.
Your description of ego death resonated a lot 🙏
I broke through to something beyond words.
You can pose this question - you can't remember pre brith, you won't remember your life post death , so why does any of it matter?
The truth is that the universe is absolutely neutral about everything. Forever balancing the equation. Once you break through, you will see all is just a relationship. Your relationship with death will direct your life one way, your relationship with life another. Relationship with "good" experiences, " bad" experiences. They aren't an ethical intellectual matter. They are lessons along the way and are viewed differently as you adapt and change, as your lens/perception changes.
Pure consicous, source life energy, the universe - remembers everything, from a non physical state of non -being. Worry is a human attribute for "instinctual survival." Truly - all is energy with the potential to manifest every possible combination of atoms, whether it be a human or an object. And will continue to do so infinitely.
What you want to manifest is in conjunction with what the other co creators want. If those frequencies align the universe will match it. Otherwise, your path will go towards a frequncy that is more balanced - from the vantage point of the whole picture.
Whilst you have memory as a human, you will conceptualise all and separate it with compartmentalised differentiations. But truly all is the same thing with a different face. A paradox. The closer you come to unity, the more you care less about gain or loss, and source will course correct you closer to a life harmoniously balanced, whatever that might transpire as according to your configurations. Like plants adapting to what the biodiversity in their environment needs, whilst everything does the same in return for its needs. Its a a neutral feedback cycle, all life is a heterarchy, judged as a hierarchy by humans. But all is needed, has worth, is meant to be here.
As are you 🙏
You can transcend lifes negatives by cultivating a relationship with your sensory inputs and the way you label them.
It's not just a reframe, its a knowing that all is happening for a reason, and their is love in the end.
Life source energy has nothing else to do but manifest and be something. That is you! All things.
Otherwise... it would just be in a constant state of bliss. One dimensional.
This is just an example, and one we can break through to with meditation, and other substances or circumstances that alter our state of reality.
Truly, life source energy comes from the zero dimension, the point inside every dot in the matrix, and or particle. A non dual dimension that you came from and will return to, so do what you can do here, and know - your influence here does something, after death it means nothing. The paradox that drives all life to let go and just live. You can't win, you can't loose, but you are confugured to do something that is seemingly worthwhile here🎉 this time, effecting next time, as a new configuration of conscious particles.
But would you still be you? Yes, the you behind everything, life source energy, not the current embodiment you are reading this from.
From a place of attachment this may seem upsetting, from a place of detatchment, it is beautiful, you are all things, and you will forever be consciousness experiencing itself, one way or another. And not through the lens of human suffering, but neutrally as source, feeling the entire spectrum of experience through an objective lense 👁
"The only way to guarantee sparing them any suffering ,is to not bring them into the world at all"
It's like that movie, The Butterfly Effect. The only way he could spare someone he cared about so much any of the pain and suffering she would experience in the many timelines he jumped to, the only effective one was where he never meets her at all.
When humans come into the world they invariably make it abundantly clear how thrilled they are to arrive in the world.😅
@@Aluminata and yet you continue living, whining that nothing is to your liking, thus making everyone else miserable having to listen to you, claiming " I didn't ask to be born" yet insisting that being alive is better by the fact you haven't off your selves yet. So the video shows a smiling David Benatar, who believes so wholeheartedly in his "non-existence-is -best" philosophy that he hasn't yet ended his miserable existence either....so typical of the self-made misery philosopher. God you pathetic crying whiners are something to behold. "I didn't ask to be born. Now give me free stuff so I won't be tempted to kill you rich bastards for your goodies so I can survive in my misery."
This is most definitely my new favorite channel.
These videos are always so well done, I felt tempted to even take notes on it lol
I talk to my friends about these, so technically taking notes
Ehhh. For what exactly? Overthinking is a crime
I actually love life now that I'm old and wrinkled, I hated it when I was young. I suspect I'll keep loving it more as I grow even older, even with all the joint pain and myriad of other problems that magically come out of nowhere as nature claims you back but in terms of the mind I couldn't be happier now, I don't really know why, I think some souls are just old souls and they only find themselves in old age.
Do you think it’s because you don’t have to work anymore snd you’re closer to death?
This is so true the older you are more you start appreciating your life and life of other people as well get more empathic and want to help and make everyone around you happy, When you young you would just run them all down just to make a dime. I think is because of stupidity as you age you get smarter. Not everyone but most of us. When you are young you are stupid but think and is even sure you are smartest thing alive than ignorance, greed, evil have nice party in that head of yours. Makes a Hell on earth if you get a hold of any power whatsoever. Its why military always recruit you when you are still young and stupid if they notice ounce of smart in you, you are out. Could you put 9mm hollow point trough guys head when you old yes, you could but does not feel that easy right?
Obsessed with your work ❤! Thanks for your hardwork .I have learned many new things which i have always question in my life .

When i felt ego death i was both terrifyied , puzzeled and then nothing but anxiety. It wasnt freeing. It was horryfying
Same here. I don’t understand how people say it was freeing/calming.
It was a nightmare for me but once the dust settled it was freeing. Freedom isnt necessarily a good thing though
Same
It was an incredible experience for me. I also followed the advice of Terrence Mckenna and took a high enough dose to where I had no option but to submit. It’s easier when you can’t resist; your ego doesn’t exactly want to just lay down and die.
The first time I tripped on acid, I spent roughly 8 hours hiding from ppl. I was at a music fest in the forest, with a stage built into some cliffs. Privately owned property, runs for several days so lots of ppl set up to camp. I had no idea the scale or how taking acid was gonna feel. Immediately became overwhelmed. I spent hours alone. Facing everything embarrassing or shameful I had experienced. I cried basically the entire trip. It was absolutely awful to experience. What I didn't understand at the time was I was facing all the baggage I was carrying with me from past negative experiences. I was 21 or 22, born in the 80s middle of the united states. So these past negative experiences were wide ranging from being bullied for a few years, to bad break ups. Times I acted cowardly or lashed out in anger. A few personal traumatic things. Lots of stuff I'm not typing out for keeping this from spiraling out on tangents and the details r not the point anyway. The point is I hadn't dealt with any of it. I didn't even know I should or how to in the first place. I had to face these and come to terms with them. I came out the other side feeling exhausted, and raw. Over the following weeks, I gradually noticed I felt better. Like when u r holding something in and finally get to tell it to someone. That relief of getting it off ur chest. I'm skipping details again but a few months go by and I get the chance to try it again. That was such a profound and wonderful experience. I learned after about set and setting, but I believe the first trip was dealing with a lot of repressed feelings. Like taking acid was equivalent to kicking the door in that held all that stuff back. Having faced these things, at least to the point of acknowledging them didn't induce crippling anxiety, the second trip I wasn't caught up in all the bad shit in my head. It was amazing and I walked away with a love for myself I didn't know possible. The entire experience left me with confidence that hasn't faded yet. I am by no means claiming that this magically erased any of that negative or traumatic experiences and the scars they caused. I only learned that it's possible to face them, and forgave myself for stuff that i didn't have agency in. I usually do not leave comments, but I hope u can get something useful to u out of this. I know I ramble, lol I'm ok with it.
Insightful, provocative, chilling. Well done!
Thank you... viewing this was a beautiful experience. Inspiring and informative. I am a musician and this has freed me from my creative block ...great ending by the way. Thank you.
I had a major ego death a year ago, which led to a major depressive episode. But at the end of it, I became more accepting of death itself. It still will be an unfortunate event but im trying to make the most of it. I dont want to lose those I love, but thats really the most important thing to me. I only hope they die before me so I can die alone, without worry of leaving them behind.
Unless I have a child that is, as it is really part of life and a major lesson on your journey through life. I think it is one is the biggest lessons of loss, and how your parents percieve the inevitable will effect your views of it in the end.
I believe in Jesus, so I have eternal life, we will never die. My father now is 90 years old, he is still healthy. In fact nobody around me should die otherwise I should be blamed since that shows I'm not good enough making them live longer till they may also have eternal life.
I like this guy. He reminds me of one of my favorite philosophers, Alan Watts, who once said “the ordinary, every day, consciousness that we have, leaves out more then it takes in” he broke it down like this. “Our sense organs are selective. They pick out certain things. They’re receptive. For example, we have a small small band, what you might call a spectrum of light or sound of tactile sensation, and so on to which the human organism is sensitive.
But we know outside of that small band there is a huge range of vibrations to which we have built instruments that are sensitive, things like cosmic rays, ultraviolet rays, gamma rays, heart, x-rays, and so on. They’re all outside the band of our spectrum, and obviously there are things that are outside the range of our instruments. We may build new instruments someday that will evoke and bring into our consciousness other vibrations all together as yet we don’t know about, so you can imagine you see, the universe is a vast vast system of vibrations and has infinite possibilities”
I love Alan Watts too ♥️
Thank you so much. That video seems to be the last push "I" needed, now everything feels more whole and peaceful.
According to Buddhism, “being born, growing old, getting sick and death” is the natural life cycle of every living creatures on earth. Nothing to be fear of. Just accept that and and you’ll be okay 😌
Go with the flow of life
What if death is not natural and we succumb to it because we haven't challenged it!!??!!
@@marshaanthony3656 death has been challenged since existence started. it always wins.

Kind of what’s taught in Taoism as well.
This is why I didn't have children. The suffering
Anti-Natalism
If you recognize the eternal nature of being, then suffering becomes the blink of an eye always waiting to be replaced by the next self-generated experience. The same could be said of love and joy, but that's part of the beauty of the whole thing. We are allowed to impose our own meaning, and course of progression. Even if you died a terrible death right after birth, you've made your contribution to the learning of those affected, and you move on to the next thing.

It's just a side note, but making your bed in the morning comes from disciplinairy militairy doctrine, in actual reality: leave your bed open so it can air. As humans sweat a lot in their sleep, leaving behind stuff, bacteria feed on that and I guess humid/warmth from a made bed right after sleeping in it is bad . Aerate so the bacteria can aerobically process the stuff and prevent anaerobic stuff
I'm glad to now know there's a name and group of people who share my beliefs on having children.
Alan watts summarized the entirety of life to be just a walk from the birth ward to the crematorium.
I’m an Alcor member so hahaha🖕🏻
This comment doesn’t represent Alan watts ideas well. It’s out of context
People who work at a crematorium just keep coming back. And they are at their working place even when they are dead 😂
I listened to hours of watts a few months ago, undoubtedly a charismatic speaker but like most hypocritical. like I said I listened to hours...of him ramble to say idk who knows.
Sounds somewhat morbid
I’ve been having this existential crisis since 2006 and yet i still have it so sure if i had a chance to choose to be born or not i will choose not to be born
When you have a near death experience you don't get random moments of your life flashing. You get everything, but the focus is on the choices you have made and what positive or negative repercussions you created, felt from the point of view of those who experienced your actions. You feel the ripples you cause, good or bad. That is what flashes.
This is horrendous 😮!
@@user-zx6ix4cb4s It depends. If you've had a positive net impact on the world it may be a positive experience. The point is to observe and learn, not to punish.
Just focus on loving, forgiving, being kind.
Yikes 😬 I better start leaving nicer comments to ppl online then
@@UnaStamus91 could be good to focus on the intent as well. Speak kindly, but mean kindness as well. Don't stress too much about it- it's just a choice, and an experience. We are all moving to the same place, just at our own pace.

I knew you had to be on something to create this stuff man. 😂 I love your work, thank you.
YouFiles1 has asked that someone tell you, Aperture, that you do not miss. I also agree with their assessment. Good show. Jolly good.
We spend our whole lives knowing that we will die someday, that alone is painful. We don't ask to be born but we are condemned to eventual death.
Death is awful and we agonize about it because we are taught to believe it's something unnatural and terrible. Let's find a new teacher 😸
I'm glad I found to find clarity with this video. I'm not terminal so they say. My aggressive onset of mutiple sclerosis killed me as a person. I'm not the same and complications can do the deed, but I'm just existing for no reason at all. I guess spare other people pain who still will be here. Thanks for mailing this.
Nice message
Love your content ty
I hate that death doesn't terrify me. That I have been waiting for it for so long and it's taking too long to come. I am jealous of everytime terminally people get told they have a short time to live. Whwn they are scared to die I wish we could switch places. I see it a a gift that everyone else seems to be getting first and I am still waiting patiently I line. I am not scared of death at all. The worst curse anyone can ever say to me is is 'may you live forever '
After death may be life forever just not in human form

Gold ❤ thankyou for posting. I have been a practising alcoholic for 35 years and finally found recovery via a 12 step treatment program just three years ago😮 now I finally can be in the moment, beyond suffering but I'm 52 so wow, what a journey to get to this moment. I've experienced psyche wards, rehab, living bones on the street, chronic physical pain, suicide within many of the family members I could have enjoyed love with and so fourth. Power to those who realise quickly in this incarnation that pain is necessary but suffering may not be as necessary. Older alcoholics often say to me " and this too shall pass" 😮 if only I'd known....but wow, such is life ae! ❤🎉😂
I'm a friend of Bill W. too. The greatest path so many will never know. Just don't go backwards.
Stay the boot camp parts. That is when you grow stronger. Peace, and easy does it.😊😊
F Bill.
There was a new mom's story that was heartbreaking, but I was able to help her see things clearer by something my son used to say to me.
Her son was born w/ brittle bone disease. It was heartbreaking, but she was also frustrated b/c instead of continuing w/ her education she had to be on call when he was at daycare, then preschool, then school, etc.
I told her something ny son used to say to me was, "Mommy, when you were a little girl & I was w/ God waiting to be born..."
I told her the 1st time he said it, I was blown away. Where did he come up w/ that? But, he said it quite a bit comcerning different times in my life. He did go to Catholic school, & read a Bible that was in conic book form. I don't know if it was explained in that book. But it does say you are carved in the palm of My hand.
She wrote back to me thanking me for helping her understand that God chose her & her husband for their special son & He wouldn't give them nothing they couldn't handle & she was in her early 20s & had plenty of time to finish school.
So, do we exist b4 we were born? My son's now 27. I don't know what he believes now, but he knew we did 20+ years ago. 😺😺
I really liked when you said "we are the universe trying to understand itself" took me to another deeper level of thinking...Never saw it that way...
It is nice to know, that there are people in the world, who are thinkind in same way, I do, but it's realy sad never met even one of them.
Same here bro cmon though, we only exist on youtube you know that!😂😢
Suffering, struggle, and strife is what maked life worth it. I've gone long bouts of peace and perfection and started feeling subtle malaise of not being challenged after a while. Taking on projects and tasks to keep myself sharp.
Very good philosophy , think of how much pain we cause ourselves by trying to own stuff , it's SO TRUE that we must live as if this is our last day on earth and we must keep this as our mantra , " nothing is really mine " .
Truly contemplating what it will be like to cease to exist in this human form is the most liberating thing you can do to enjoy every moment of the rest of your life. It’s a lot of grief but what comes out of the process is liberation. Being free from yourself.
Please elaborate.
@@SubtraxttDEATH is freedom, at least from physical body. Death is liberating. Free from ALL pain, and suffering, at least until God deals with us. Judgement Day. I think we will fly. Souls will soar.😮
You’re cute
I was thirteen when I decided I didn't want to have children. Most adults told me I didn't know what I was talking about, even by the time I was 15 when I made a very logical explanation about not wanting to pass down the allergies and asthma that often incapacitated me. I get really pissed with Parents who try to convince people without kids how rewarding it is. Not for everyone. Some Parents and Children's lives are ruined over pro creation. My Mother is 76 and still apologizing to me for bringing me into this World. I tease her and audibly mumble, "Yeah...I hate it here and you did not ask my permission..." Was I into Anti-Natalism, before I knew what it was? 😀
I am sorry for your mom, that’s a long time to carry a burden.

Two questions: If someone is born totally blind, and totally deaf, what sort of Dreams do they experience? What sort of visuals and sounds do their brains produce, so alien to ours? Can somebody comment on this??
All my days, I learned not to give a shit about anything...
That is the key to survival the rest is just Bullshit...
Or, what you just said is bullsh!t.
Not giving a sh!t about anything would be a luxury.
Not all of us can pull that off.
I love this!!! I stand almost nowhere absolutely. If we take anything as an absolute only 2 words will push it to the edge. “How?” and “Why?”. Wondering that’s where I chill with my feet hanging over the edge. Listening to CZcams’s.😂🎉
Hellz Yah. lookin foward to this.
The human experience begins before birth. This is true for both the baby and the parents.
Aperture, for me I ask? why did my parents have me? they already had 9 children time I was born.
I had often wish I never existence at all I had lot of health problem from the start of my life and no I do not recall being asked to be born but it been mixed good things along with not so good things
but the worst of all is suffering or seeing my loved ones suffering it a very harsh reality. Thanks for your insight in this video I enjoy watching it.
9 already? Are you # 10? Are all by the same father?? Are you close to your siblings?
@@Msangel06 I ended up having 11 siblings after I was born there was 2 more and yes we had the same father and mother.

Thank you for being exactly who you are.

Love will always win. It not about what happens to you, but how you respond to what's happened to you, and you can always respond with love
How can we ever genuinely answer any of these questions? Could shards of a broken glass contemplate how to not be broken? My point is, it should be enough that we are aware enough to even form such questions in the first place. Only dive deep into waters you are familiar with, otherwise you will drown in the unknown and unknowable. Unless of course, you are comfortable there.
I just spent my entire Saturday morning listening to this even taking some notes. My favorite line is the question "What will give me peace while on my deathbed"?. I had to pause and think about that for a while. Now I need a cold shower and a stiff drink.
Which Line was it?
@@danielbarcos8426 I didn’t phrase my comment very well because I didn’t put quotes around. It was the discussion about finding what will give you peace on your deathbed. Thinking today, right now, what can you do right now and continue to do that when you’re on your deathbed, he will have peace.
@@blueskies1237 love that, gotta take that to heart
Got Dickache, life has thought me, pain is constant no matter where u go or what you do😢 but, to always remember who you truly are
Whatever we don’t get a choice as free will is an illusion as your other video beautifully outlines why! As for more pain than pleasure in this so called life eh why not at least it gives me something to feel…until it changes more!! Yay 😁
Life may contain a lot of suffering and pain, but it has some joy too. I came from the eternal void and I will return to that same eternal void. Enough of void for the rest of eternity for me to experience one tiny lifetime of life. At least I got to experience it. The never ending nothing that I came from will await me again, and I'm fine with one lifetime. I don't despise my parents for making me.
Something isn't nothing. It's not really an eternal void if there's something

Born, lived and died tragically. The story of my life probably.
Pain is an essential part of life. If there was no sadness in the world then what would happiness be? At the end of the day, I would rather have lived than not lived, or to have died a free floater in somebody’s nutsack
I've pretty much always been an "anti-natalist". But, I never knew there was a label for it until now.
It's hard to imagine a year that doesn't include sleep. However, out of all the things I could "really and truly do", I mostly want to finish this sentence, during the computer time subtracted from the part of life that I'm not doing "what I really and truly want".
I never heard of antinatalism from this perspective until recently. I’m 45 now with a 16 year old daughter. She’s my only bio kid. After her dad left me, I was with my high school sweetheart for another 10 years and had two stepkids from him but no other bio kids. Before I became a mom, I had heard arguments against having kids from two very different perspectives- some in my friends and family were very religious and 20 years ago, the idea that God’s will isn’t your will was very popular. So if what you want is to have kids, then that’s not God’s will. I know these days people claim evangelicals pressure women to have kids, but that was never my experience. Others in my friends and family were feminists and told me I better not have a family because it would hold me back in life. Because childbearing was the basis for womens oppression historically, I shouldn’t do it. Period. I know nowadays they like to say feminism is all about choice but once again, that’s not my experience.
I had a friend who’s younger brother took his own life and one day she went to lunch with her mom while they were crying over this decision by them. Her mom said, if only someone told her that his life would be so painful- if she knew then she would have had an abortion. I think of this when I am faced with regret over not having more kids. I don’t want me and my daughter sitting in a cafe one day having that conversation. However, when people from the far left and far right and everywhere in between told me not to have kids, it was never for the benefit of the hypothetical kid. It was either for me and other women worldwide (feminism) or the will of God (Christian’s). I think my daughter, while she does suffer from the exact same anxiety and depression patterns I always did, she loves life. As for me, I have known a lot of pain but am still glad my parents had me even tho they were abusive. Interesting video
The writing has a very interesting POV. So much certainty and omniscience, like the words are being spoken by someone who has already died and has had a glimpse of what’s behind the scenes. But this could not be possible, especially from such a young voice. In a way, this writing voice hides the hypothetical nature of most of what’s being said by speaking with full certainty. “This is how things are.” I’ll admit this made me a little defensive at first, until I realized how purposeful the voice was. It’s risky but undeniably compelling. I also think it is effective in starting conversations because if you say, “This is how things are,” but the statement is debatable, people will jump on the opportunity to challenge it.
Right on young man good stuff
5:25 Under the assumption that those under the affect of hypnosis were truthful to her and themselves to the best of their ability: they would still, technically, exist before giving consent, as they must be conscious to do so. As such, they (as a fetus) would already be affected by their surroundings (and likely, eventually, given a rosy image of life by their parents). In conclusion, it's my understanding that her experiment would be inconclusive even if hypnosis was a valid science.
Each is a soul and they are lining up to incarnate. They want to incarnate so the child that is born is an opportunity for the soul to come into the world.
I never wanted to be Born...
I liked staying Dead..
@@gregdemeterbandjust wait a bit and you’ll get there
I think both ideas of anti natalism and natalism are fair. Anti natalism goes against others' views but both views make sense depending on someone's life outlook.
If you find yourself suffering more than being happy, then you will not want someone to have a similar experience. If you enjoy life more than not, you will want someone to experience this.
Your own child may have a different experience and not want to continue having children. Both sides will always exist and will alternate. Both aren't inherently wrong, they just come from different perspectives on life.
One lacks the concept of gratitude and other despises self-pity.
I was looking at my baby nephew today. He is my nieces son. She is 25 i am 26. As i looked at him, I knew one day he will be old. I hope he grows old and has a family and a baby of his own. I love this kid. He is about to be a year old this december. And ill be another year older January. My life is going by, but im just here. I hope to die before everyone else. It sounds bad i cant watch anyone die. Ive lost two people in just short months apart. My grandpa and my ex. It's bullshit but it taught me so much. Be safe and be with the ones you love. Family comes first.
The nash equilibrium emphasizes a point that is also similarily made elsewhere, like the science fiction «the three body provlem» highlifhting that in a endless universe, the optimal strategy when meeting extraterrestrial life is to attakk first, to minimuze the risk of them shooting first.

One day there will become a society whose values are not money but betterment, and its a shame that these little men, selfish men, arrogant men and horrid men all sat with that money in their lap and whilst that is the case we wont move forward much faster than rhe rate we move at. There is no chance of this new society whilst capitalism sits here.
EXACTLY CORRECT 😮😂
"Just enjoy the ride". Yeah that works up to a point and the "we're all one" idea seems to be the case until you start to consider the truly awful, and I mean the worst things humans do to each other and other living things. "Oh it's just a game" is cold comfort to a child who is raped, tortured and killed. Can that child not claim to be a victim? Can that sadist excuse their actions since they're really just doing it to themselves?
Don't get me wrong, I came to the same conclusion long ago only through logic and contemplation. I've also had experiences of totally detached peace where the sense of I and self completely melted away freeing the sense of existing from the limitations of a separate self, but in my quest to get a better grasp on what being a human I'd mostly ignored sadism and when I took a look at that aspect it blew away the pink cloud of universal oneness. I suppose it would be inevitable within the infinite space of all possibilities, if it can exist than it must, but all of the talk around finding out we're all one usually comes from those in the wealthier nations and from people who haven't experienced real trauma. That's not an insult and I'm glad so many can avoid the nastier side of life, but I just feel like there's something missing here. Evil as a concept either gets exploited away by saying it's just the other side of good or it's just dismissed altogether. I don't think good and evil is a zero sum game (meaning there has to be both in equal measures to achieve some type of cosmic balance) and I certainly know it exists because I've seen it. I haven't come to a satisfactory explanation of it and I've yet to hear one from someone else.
Well I've been through a ton of trauma. I've even had trauma passed down generationally and Im total grateful because I feel my soul will prosper for it. It just means that when. I return to a place of total bliss, love and peace the reward will be that much greater for me. I will have gained perspective that is very valuable to the spirit.

Life is pain and suffering. Why do any of us continue doing this thing called "life"?
Out of fear of the other side, perhaps. We find ourselves in a very strange place, somehow in a body that will eventually suffer incredibly, then die. And nobody knows what this all is.

Isn't suffering the point ? Growth ? To avoid suffering is childish isn't it ? It's the type of suffering we should be focusing on. What do we think ?
I think my highest Self can help me avoid suffering. My job is to actually learn to LISTEN to that voice
Dunno man, is there a point? I don't disagree with your statement tho, but there's no rule book lol
Pretty much mate. Just become better, whatever that means to you. Ive found the most fulfilment from simply using myself as a guineapig. Seeing how strong and athletic I can get. Disciplining myself. When I suffer, I try my best to transmute it into something beneficial. When I'm angry I workout harder and feel stronger the next day. This is just one facet which helps. Finding what food works for you is another facet, a long journey but once you get there life settles down some more.
suffering confirms happiness. if we didn't know happiness, we wouldn't know suffering. so i think it depends on what you want to focus on in life. If it is to be happy, then yes, suffering is important
Suffering is not good.. all “
Suffering” is due to another human. Car accident, health problems, job loss, unemployment, homelessnes, rape, robbery, etc. Humans create the suffering.
