The Atlantic describes futurist and philosopher Jason Silva as “A Timothy Leary of the Viral Video Age.” A self-professed “wonderjunkie” Silva is the creator of “Shots of Awe,” micro-documentaries that explore creativity, innovation, futurism, technology and the human condition. In this episode, Jason dives into the ritual of experiential design, a visceral practice he uses to spark creativity during a "flow state" in order to reach a deeper awareness.

I'm glad he mentioned the "The Neuroanatomy of Freestyle Rap," because there was always a spoken word element to his speech patterns during his "flow" state. If you write and perform, you can easily understand the zone he's in, and it's absolutely brilliant.
Jason Silva is my favorite person on social media ~ so happy to have found him!
pattyfromtoledo Awesome!
This is amazing. Two of our favorites in one video: Shots of Awe and Seeker Stories
Science Channel How could we not try to meet Jason!
Science Channel What are the names of the music in background ?
+Seeker Stories test
i know the one.. and its - Jean-Philippe Rio-Py - Brave Heart
Shots of Awe is something every human should watch - Jason Silva... what a beautiful mind.
are you kidding me jason? you had no script with these shots of awe videos the whole time? O.O
TheBadGuy That is the point with Freestyle Philosophy :D
Haha i know
+Chris News lol fool, it's obvious you haven't watched a single shots of awe video
No dumb fuck
No way
Is it possible
His work is really interesting. He does go overboard from time to time, but still.
Happy to share!
Thanks for sharing!
The moments I get into a "flow state" have been at the right conditions and practices. When I workout or before a race, I am able to get into this state of conscience that allows me to be safe, have fun, and relax at the possible danger, environment or challenges that have to met. Thank you for helping share this type of process and look forward to other videos and advice.
ffjjy
I love you and can you help me Jason ? I need to know . Do you like your show Brain games? Are you really friends with Apollo Robbins??
this is so awesome. people like this give me hope for humanity.
I live for this level of inspiration, consciousness and genius. Can't get enough of it.
People saying this guy isn't a Philosopher,enligthen me what it takes to be a "Philosopher"?Philosophy is simply to ponder on what it is to be and what things are and aren't.There's a common thought that someone should carry a certain academic certificate related to Philosophy,or go to schools of Philosophy inorder to identify them as Philosophers.When in reality all it takes is to entertain our thoughts and wonders to be one.
I agree. philosophy to me is challenging any norms really.
He also has philosophy degree :)
Apurva Raj nope. He has film degree of sorts. Degree is irrelevant. One can name many scientists or philosophers without a college degree. And far many inventors.
OMG... I just love his words, sentences.... I mean when I hear his words I just feel that there's everything in this world we have born.. what we need to do is just try those things to achieve everything...... I get a goosebump every time I see his videos (Shots of Awe)......
I had a similar thing happen when I was watching "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I had to stop the movie and write out everything I was thinking. I've been looking for an explanation and now I've found it. Thank you for sharing.
Shots of Awe is the best channel in the history of CZcams.
silverman nah man, The School of Life is.
+Gabriel Thompson yep
True Dat! Jason silva is ❤️❤️
Thank you so much. It took years of suffering and a few suicide attempts later I finally heard someone who thinks like i do. The country where I come from, if you tell them all this? They'll call you crazy. And I say YES WE ARE CRAZY and how is that bad? I cry every time I see a video. From pure joy and happiness of having someone else other than yourself and the universe who can ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND YOU. I cannot thank you enough. You saved a life.
wow! it's so amazing to finally find someone who thinks on my thought level! John Silva you are incredibly inspirational!
Jason knows a lot ... Amazing person
I think Jason Silva is really enlightened and I am happy that he shares his ideas with us!
I love you, Jason Silva....I swear, he is the asteroid in which all of our fundamental elements were born of....he is the original thought....he is all of our collective inner monologues & daydreams personified & intricately placed upon the timeline of humanity in which technology allows his voice, our voice, to be beautifully transmitted!! What a gorgeous world we have here
This is an amazing realization about our mind and seeing the world!
I wish you make videos like this every day. Your videos make my start of the day awesome than ever.
What a dream job this great dude has, envious!
Expounding rationalized pseudo-philosophies using purposefully deceitful language for the sake of propagating a consumerist corporate agenda for his sponsors? He is a nice reference to good and novel ideas by other people, but his own philosophy is delusional at best, deceitful at worst. I don't consider being a corporate sell out a dream job.
+Lucid Beagle dont we all have to be corporate sell outs to survive the economy? Am i missing something?
+Ricardo Portes lmfao you're missing life with jealousy like my brother.
Brad Evand might seem like it but that comment doesn't really describes me as a person lol
He's not even a capitalist
Shots of Awe is my favorite channel thank you ;)
I love this. I love that I go through it without even being aware it is an actual thing.
I get that same irritable feeling when not being able to connect with my flow.
I think it correlates with not being able to express oneself, so therefore frustration emerges from not being able to communicate a feeling or thought.
I am mad media crushing over you. Your my dream man!!! Your mind and your perceptions are a great prescription of thought to any subscriber.
Jason is a truly amazing person. No words.
This series is amazing. It's a wonder I am just now finding out about it.
I like how her said he becomes anxious when producing.... when i have ideas im connected to. that can help others.. i feel like i need to Flow with it. Not for money but for the sake of it. I realize now he utilizes this to inspire or hearts.
Thankyou Jason Silva!!!
Man, that’s awesome!! Love this guy, I listen to all his stuff and it’s awe inspiring that his videos are improv’d!! Gotta get me some flow state!! 👌
it is very weird how he explained perfectly how i think and why i sometomes "rant" when something i love comes up in conversation or thought. i have never had an explanation as to why i think the way i do and he hit the nail on the head. i do have a small problem that my "audience" is not like his and generally does not care and often i seem strange to others and i have yet to quite figure out how to trigger these thought processes myself, it tends to just happen spontaneously.
I've had these moments great way of explaining it In detail!
So inspired..a huge fan of @jasonsilva
he explains this type of thing perfectly the few times i have experienced this i was not vocal about it but found myself in what he referred to as a 'flow' state. The time this was the strongest was standing on top of the first mountain i summitted and it lasted for a good 12 hours afterward this sort of philosophical omnipresent perfect unrestricted state of happiness and thought, it was amazing and I now long for it.
"I'm like a reality hacker."
I love that.
I understand to the tee hoW he feels... I almost cried because hearing what he said was more than I anticipated... I knew it was going to be said well, I didn't know it was going to be excactly how I felt
I do the same thing! Just not with the same production value you do it in (I use a mic, audio ends up unusable in the end anyway lolz). Its great to know that I'm not the only one who does it and seeing someone do it more profoundly will encourage me to do it more and to do it better!
Jason Silva, your officially my role model, seeing this video puts you more so in my foresight in how I wish to work. We may never met, but our journey will unite.
Jason, I am seeing myself through your words of illustrating being in your flow state. You helped me discover a new realm of consciousness with your 'philosophical espresso shots
This flow state is like my way of thinking and expressing when I was 4
r v before your mind closed up
NO WAY! I thought these videos were carefully scripted. Absolutely flabbergasted :O!
I absolutely love this video. Beautiful
I was once the same way, but somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost it. Sometimes I feel that part of me trying to reemerge, but then "bam", it's gone. Not to say I won't keep trying, mind you.
No matter what you people think, this man has a very interesting mind flow. I admire his capability of putting his thoughts to words, regardless if i find his idea agreeable or not. Still, a brilliant, mindful man. AND, by far, he is one of the very few that actually makes the social media makes sense. :)
I don't know how to explain this, but the creative thoughts, and the anxiety and desire to create that you talk about. I experience, I feel that anxiety. I can relate. But im only an 18 year old watching your videos
This resonated with me on such deepth, i allways feel the best and centered when doing something new, something i never done. Wich also gives me a feelign of not beeing able to find my meaning, my Ring to carry as frodo did. i allways falls short when in repetition. aha mode!
This is pure fire! Thanks
For sharing.
Aha moments, lends itself to the probability of one leading an aha life! To keeping it all new, fresh, invigorating, and relatively real! Thank you Jason! This video helped me better understand the source of your passion for learning and your drive to share. I absolutely love what it is that your are doing here...
Ling: "Tell me about your process, your ritual." Silva: "Drugs."
This was amazing! Thanks for the inspiring words!
i know that state it is absolutely the most beautiful place to be! i get afraid when i get there and instantly retreat
Jason Silva, the host of Brain Games.... until now i thought that he was just a host and nothing much but now i just developed a kind of respect for him and really jealous of his amazing brain.
and thanks for introducing me to a new things... stories of awe... :)
I do riffs all the time. I never record any of them, but I do take notes when I make interesting connections.
brilliant! thanks so much for doing this!
Extremely passionate. amazing !!
the passion is deep
I love this thank you.
Thnx SeekerStories!
This video is so *on point*
Love your channel!
Fantastic!
Fuuuck HIS AWESOME... Just loves his thinking pattern!!! I had similar in my meditation 2014/15 and did speculation if it was possible to film about it and if anyone wold to it as deep in mind, in the same time, seeing and feeling the same kind of vision..Haha.. just discovered this film been up since maj 2015.. Back then i didt know about youtubes videos!!! I was in a Caravan recovering from cancer!!! Wow crazy world...
this guy is just voicing stuff that I was thinking about when I was 6 years younger than he is. Only he is putting it on tape, such enlightenment, much wow.
I actually thought this was a Shot of Awe when I clicked it. Thought he posted an interview to his channel because he has been switching things up lately. Glad to see Seeker introducing their audience to him. I actually found seeker through Jason.
sacv27 We loved meeting Jason and had a wonderful time getting inside his mind.
Silva is amazing// i actually learn something from each video
awesome no script..jst freestyle...!!
respect..!!
Ive felt that before and really would like to feel it more, except I'm pretty young, so I can only do so much.
This stream of consciousness philosophizing yields the mere feeling of profundity, without the careful analysis and nuance of academic analytic philosophy. Setting aside one’s speech “filter” may reveal more about one’s subconscious, but it will not reveal more substantive propositions about the external world. His goals are likely distinct from those of academic philosophy; I think he owes his audience a clear explanation of his goals.
His method could prove to be a valuable tool for brainstorming. However, any idea that would contribute the sciences or analytic philosophy would need to be scrutinized through analysis.
you guys realise that he is in that flow state while doing this interview !! wow!
THIS IS SO INSPIRING
Joy of enlightenment
Revisiting this video I have chills all over... Hmmm. . .
He's what I would call a philosophical preacher
The first of his kind
Amazing on all levels
This is same for me as I talk with my friends.
wow... just... wow...
what a beautiful mind!
Jason is very inspiring.
hey I am a 14 year boy and I didn't know how I am becoming like you , I am inspired of you, when ever I start speaking like you every one just stop doing things and start listening to me very carefully . . .. . . I will be next to you . thanks for this all I am your fan
In this moment i am euphoric.
God Bless you
The fact that the only translation available there is in Arabic really amazes me.
Thanks for you Arabic translators
I love this man's brain so much
got my first and only flow state when i was stoned on my terrace and the atmosphere was alien (before a big rain, the winds, the lighting etc)
When I first saw Jason, for some reason, I felt like he was fake. Like he secretly scripted these moments or something. But over time, his genuity(?) shown through and eventually I realized that him and I are kindred souls of the most intimate kind. I feel like Jason is where I would be if I continue on this path of letting go of fear and anxiety to express my deepest desires and thoughts. Jason IS the Timothy Leary of today. I would even go so far as to say that he's becoming what Terence McKenna was in the late 90's, except he has so much life left. Truly one of the most remarkable minds of the 21st century.
amazing
Hmm yes. I have been going through periods of what I think are "genius" that last around 10mins to 2 hours. I get in a trance of creativity. I think I am finally reaching a technique to get into the trance. If I could I would thank Jason for adding to my technique, he gave me an idea.
Where are u now?
This guy smoked pot the right way
it's a good watch when you are high !!
i love the footage in your videos
This man is amazing.
I was in a flow state watching that
I don't completely agree with him. However, I like the way he challenges people to think.
Brilliant encouragement.
i loved this :)
Jason Silvers mind is so fascinating.
Jason Silva and Shots of Awe are really amazing, but it must be really hard to be his crew and wait keep following him around waiting for his epiphanies.
More please!
OC_AirWolf Of course!
Very nice video!!
For some odd reason I can't explain I feel like I can relate to Jason Silva...wow
NLP, CBT, FAITH, Musical improvisation fundamentals
God this is awesome, amazing.!!
Love love love.!!.
Awesome Video!
Could you tell us what music you listen to, when you are waandering around and trying to reach that state of mind, Jason? :)
