Good start to a series that has potential to be a wild ride. Feel like things get stronger in part 2 (subjective statement), but everyone has to begin somewhere. Just remember, what you are tapping into precedes any particular tradition. Many traditions have come and gone — and many societies have risen and been felled — so credit where credit is due, just be careful to resist elevating the incidentals of the situation (a mere function of time and space) above the transcendent and immanent, or the innate human ability to access it. Adversity only provides an opportunity to rise to the challenge, not the means to do so. Cheers.

A few questions: Are sadness and ecstasy mutually exclusive, or can ecstatic states encompass and inform sadness? Might there be forms of sadness that are natural to the ecstatic experience? Does one forfeit personal agency in becoming a 'vessel'? A vessel suggests a shell that merely holds a substance. You speak of will, which implies agency. How are these two seemingly opposed concepts integrated? Does, perhaps, the terminology of any given tradition affect conceptions as to the nature and purpose of the 'work'? If so, do you believe resulting misconceptions ever get in the way of the work itself? I'm not asking you to answer these questions for me, but perhaps they may offer some inspiration for future episodes of your vlog. (Or not!)

Every other person I meet entertains the delusion of being illuminated. I must be in the dark.

Every other person I meet entertains the delusion of being illuminated. I must be in the dark. I think for most it's a transitory state of awareness that we can't quite hold onto long enough - I wouldn't call myself illuminated, but rather there are states I sometimes attain of illumination. It's the result of spiritual seeking, not that you cant be flawed to shit and that disqualifies you from it, it's at the core of humanity as a spiritual entity and we are all capable of attaining it...keeping it it the issue. I bet you have had illuminated "episodes" too, Ben

No auto closed captioning supported in this video, but that is okay. Just letting you know in case if you are gonna enable it in future video clips or not depending on supported app/whatnot or something like that. Edited: wtf closed captioning auto popped up in the quoted msg. Nevermind this post. Geez, must be glitches with my browser or something like that.

However, the implementation and further, the acceptance of ones self, lead to an amplified experience, relatable by yourself. If you are honest, the ordeal will serve as mulch on which you can grow your personality.

That is...without humility, the state of illumination could just be defined as mania in some opinions...

I feel as if everyone has been searching at one point.
But where do you stop?
This is the essence, imo.
Many have come to points that demand questions.
And a few (including me) started to realize after numerous 'I am sures'that every answer prompts a question by design.
So, what did I do?
I made damn sure that 'having an answer' is not an option to having a question.
My horizon got broader, and differential methods of beholding things set in.
Anyways.. I love the walking around part , adds another layer of information so to speak.

I made damn sure that 'having an answer' is not an option to having a question. My horizon got broader, and differential methods of beholding things set in. Anyways.. I love the walking around part , adds another layer of information so to speak. I was thinking about this recently...so you have all these questions. Seeker of truth. You go out on a hero's journey to get some answers. You suffer trials and initiations...you overcome them, although not without scars. You get to the end. You see the light. Your questions have answers. Your actions have meaning. The book of answers is left in your hand, but only those who have earned can read it, so to speak. What next? There are options...create further questions for example. Try to communicate answers. Or...transcend both questions and answers and use both to create something entirely new. I think this is how people can further the dimensions of their experience. The hero is the one that delivers something "original'. The promethean fire, if you will. This opens up vistas in consciousness. Because something new has been introduced, others can follow in the hero's footsteps. Now, they all have access to fire. And the hero, what does he do next? Sit around the fire and tell old tales...? Sometimes... But sometimes it's not enough. Then you annihilate yourself...and start over, but with a new ability. New game +. Life has options.

I developed this way of letting another enter a dialogue and train of thought which leads to my initial thought or view. It takes a couple of words usually, some form of NLP coupled with honesty (to the point where you get a fist in your face) and a will to transform the buildup of energy to break mindwalls. The second a third person enters this setup, I can't maintain the situation and it tends to escalate quick. For this constellation 1*1+1.. Still working on getting the prerequisites right for 3, it is possible. And even with two participants, you now have a base on which anything can grow, the right vision, at that moment, creates new realities. ... Haha I get it now. I substitute myself as a energyfocuspoint and through argumentation let my opposite realize that it wasn't me whom they want to direct their anger at but often times it's ones own inability to behold thyself.

Yes, I love the way you both (Ben and Caylus) explain what to do with it, once you have reached that mountain top/guru/truth/etc point.
I personally feel we are here to experience all; feelings, senses, emotions, pain, love, etc. Each of us are here to have a unique experience. Some of these experiences are similar, some are meant to cause change, some cause harm. I think it is the duty of those with knowledge to use it. To continue asking questions and creating for the domino effect of data/knowledge/energy to continue flowing.
I believe that the reason so many of us end up on websites on here discussing this, is not that we are all meant to deliver the same message or have the same effect on the 'matrix' around us. I believe that we are meant to use this unique experiential viewpoint to enact that change. As Caylus says, that change could be singing kumbaya or that could be a cleansing fire...that is not for me to decide but YOU. I know I am struggling enough to figure out what to do with mine..but I suppose that is another topic. haha

Could only read a few pages of the I-Hler; destruction of minds is a power play for those too embedded in their narrowed minded goals. Puppets, puppeteers, and puppet-masters. Self-awareness bears upon them like kryptonite. Generations must decide the path of their future, deception is everywhere, but in the mind of the self-aware..
