Quantum theory does prove hell is real. Just ask anyone doing quantum mechanics homework in grad school.
HA! Good one!
At the end of the Harry Potter saga the protagonist has a vision where he sees a dead character. When it is time to wake up they have this beautiful exchange:
"Is this all real? or is it just happening inside my head?"
"Of course it is happening inside your head, harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?"
To be fair, Johnny Samadhi is a genius moniker.
It's even better, he spelled is Jhannie Samadhi.
Ziggy is barking at the invisible demons that only dogs can see (or hear, or smell). Just because you and I can't perceive them doesn't mean they're not there.
One dog's demon is another man's harmless ghost
Good talk! “Experientially” is the key to sorting this out…or as Jimi asked “Ah! But are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced? Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful...”
I wonder if there's a world out there where Veggetta and his brother Goku fight world saving bouts .
Awesome video Brad, I really resonated with what you said here and I think you really hit it spot on by questioning whether THIS realm is even "real" or not. I think that is touching upon an important point for people to get when speculating about heavens and hells and such.
All experience is neurological projection, whether it is a dream experience or a waking experience. "Spiritual" awakening seems to be about our relationship to our experience. Our experience being what we call reality.
Another amazing talk! 👍👏🏿😊
Funny, Max Derrat just posted an analysis of Enter the Void (Gaspar Noe's film about this very subject). Paging Dr. Jung. Also great to see your home is protected by ADT ( A Dog's Territory) VIVA ZIGGY!😁
Jhanny Samadhi here 😂
First, I enjoy your talks and you seem like a great guy. I can now see how you were trying to appease said viewers, and I apologize for being harsh. By “for your own good” i meant that at least from a Theravada perspective spreading wrong view is very hefty kamma, especially if you have right view. So it’s important to stand up for the points that Shakyamuni laid out for right view. Buddhism makes no sense without kamma, rebirth and the 31 planes. The framework falls apart without these very integral screws.
Everything you said sounds spot on to me. It is about “psychological” states, the essence of how one feels, and how stable that essence is. The realms are supporting environments for how one feels at death, and according to the Pali canon are actually created by mindstreams of beings from the preceding world system. Then eventually there are beings with enough similarities that they just pop into realms with the same “frequency” that already exist. So yes, none of it is actually real aside from individual experience, and that’s where the suffering is that we’re trying to prevent with right view.
I think you handled this very well and am happy to see you’re no longer concerned with appeasing your less experienced viewers. A lot of people want to believe, they just don’t want to be perceived as dummies by others, so you’re in a great position to nudge them toward liberation and out of samsara’s endless tangles-a major one being the extremely mind closing materialism. There are many peer reviewed academic studies of rebirth and NDE’s that are very convincing. NDE studies are on people who had no brain wave activity for up to several minutes making hallucination not possible. And the majority strongly resemble what’s found in most Buddhist traditions, especially Tibetan. Your viewers could benefit greatly from exposure to such things.
In honor of the Buddha and for the sake of liberating all beings, don’t shy away from spreading right view, even if everyone points and laughs 😂
I wish you well, keep up the good work.
Before you uploaded this I was leafing thru Dancing with Wu Li Masters and he uses the point quantum begins when Newtonian breaks down. I kinda like that simplification. I think people get lost in duality vs dialectics
Whenever he mentions his age, it’s always a mindfuck. He looks mid-forties at the latest, or like a really hard-living 28-year-old 🎸
A monk asked Jōshū, “Has a dog the Buddha Nature?”
Jōshū answered, “Mu.”
As for Ziggy, can I ask you if you think your dog has Buddha Nature?
😇
"Those destined for heaven go to heaven, those destined for hell go to hell". It says so in the Book of Revelation. So much for free will!
Nevertheless, one would do well in this lifetime to cultivate positive qualities, as this, apparently, has a great influence on where we wind up (ie. In realms of suffering or realms devoid of suffering).
Perhaps, after all, the Bodhisattva attitude is the best: "May I be reborn wherever I can do the most to ease the suffering of sentient beings."
Can there be a more noble aspiration?
Just so you know, that assertion does NOT reflect the belief of most Christians, who largely believe humans have free will to choose the path of salvation or damnation (some even believe all will be saved, etc).
Fun thought; to Ziggy, you're just barking at nothing. You think you're talking into a camera, but Ziggy just sees Brad barking. So if Brad's gonna bark, Ziggy might as well bark 😂
No........Next!!
I am most into Theravada teachings as expounded by people like Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Sona, Thanissaro Bhikkhu, and other internet monks. They are much more traditional, of course.
But I've never heard any of those senior Theravada monks complain that denying or being ambivalent about the existence of Buddhist heaven and hell realms is wrong view. Right view has always seemed much more specifically a description of the belief the Four Noble Truths and (recursively) the Noble Eightfold Path are the path to liberation. And those being basic tenets of (some say all) Buddhist paths, it's more just like, "If you don't believe this, you may not be a Buddhist, but it's ok".
Ajahn Brahm indeed said that he didn't believe in the supernatural stuff in his early years as a Theravada monk.
I don't think this kind of fundamentalist talk is really respected as right speech by these otherwise fairly traditional monks, and for good reason.
The eternal now
How esoteric!
I think, Brad have to repeat the LSD experiment, because good books are worth to be read twice, when you are young enough and when you are old enough :)
There is not a chance in hell of that happening!
since i practice sazen regulary. nearly all of my dreams are lucid...😮
That became a problem for me, so I worked to make it stop.
Tbh, that Jhanny Samadhi dude is pretty weird. He believes that all Buddhists should live like monks, like the monks of the Theravada tradition and such.
Yeah, ironically not even Theravada monks think that, nor are the ones I've heard generally as fundamentalist as Jhanni Samadhi sounds.
@@michigandersea3485 Right. In the Theravada tradition there is a very clear distinction between laity and ordained monks.
As Aron Ra once said, faith is pretending to know stuff you don't know.
None of us really know most of the stuff we think we know, anyway. We can know some basic stuff related to our own lives (I am sitting on a chair right now, for example) but we all have massive worldviews that are largely constructed out of faith, regardless of what your perspective is on the metaphysical. Heuristics are not the same as actually knowing, and humans function on a day-to-day basis on heuristics.
If this moment is the enlightened state. then hell is also enlightened state
I frequently have horrific aeon-long nightmares any time i take a perception-changing drug (lsd, acid, cough syrup?) theres similarity enough between all the experiences that they must be real
I'm mainly in Zen Practice now but, I'm at Heart still a Chaos Magic guy (As if they conflict in any real way). What I've noticed in my Practice is that we make Distinctions about pretty Needless Stuff just to feel in some form of control over our lives and the world, when Ultimately we have none. The Idea of Heavens and Hells is part of this, in that at the Root, we can say to ourselves "I can Avoid Hell by doing X and not Y" and/or "I can go to Heaven by doing X and not Y" but really we're both Ignorant and have no real Agency in the Matter. Civilians in a War Zone didn't Ask to be in that War Zone and People in Peacetime don't ask to be there. Also, a lot of things we think we Choose consciously with Thought, is actually just a part of a Chain of Events that lead to making that Decision and its Result.
Weirdly, as Deterministic as I made that sound, I still feel there is Room for Free Will somehow I can't explain.
I get it. It's like there's tons of stuff around us formed by karma (maybe like, crowdsourced choice matrix) but at any given moment our real choices are just what's right in front of us, which is sort of like a series of magic doors.
"I'm at Heart still a Chaos Magic guy" "Also, a lot of things we think we Choose consciously with Thought, is actually just a part of a Chain of Events that lead to making that Decision and its Result."
These are contradictory. Isn't "magic" the belief that you can have an effect on reality by some sort of spell (which if that's really the case, you would expect to see "magicians" do better in life than "non magicians")?
You are probably just using "mysticism" as a way to distract yourself from mundane, yet important, stuff in your life. Like for example, getting a job so you can pay rent, cleaning your room, or whatever else. If you give much critical thought to it, you know that "chaos magic" can't possibly be true and that any experience that seems to confirm it is either confirmation bias, or coincidence (likely a combination of both).
Consider for example, the "chaos magic" of the milk jug.

That's just a western way of saying that wherever we are is our karma. From my rather basic (and possibly uninformed) Theravada perspective, that includes coming to discover the four noble truths and learning that there is a path to the extinguishment of suffering, the Noble Eightfold Path. This path is a path we decide to take, at least initially, but ultimately it also seems clear that we can't get there without completely letting go as well. And it is also possible that there is no "there" to get.

i don't think existence is material reality, i wouldn't even go so far as to say that material reality exists
the nonsense of philosophy, theology and religion is way too concerned with compartmentalization
that's the opinion of this boltzmann brain
Wrongview! - The original "mis-, mal- and dis-information."
I studied this stuff. It’s amazing how much I really could care less about the subject matter. What always happens is that there’s a jahnny samadhi out there. Who cares? Who cares what any of us think on this crap anyway? Why did I watch the video? Why am I making a comment? Insanity! Viva Ziggy!
doubt it....those are imaginary places
Re Christianity, you are leaving out purgatory.
Purgatory is a Catholic concept. Don't know about Orthodox Christianity, but have never heard of any Protestant churches (I've been active in Presbyterian and Anglican churches) teach about Purgatory.

unprofessional.
