Agree on that!

YAS. I'd love to subscribe to a philosophizin', question generating podcast with a quest to better balance science and spirituality that maybe does analyses of trip reports and also features music. :3

It's here

I want tot see him on Joe Rogans podcast.

+Daniel Carr that is so true... but unfortunately for some, that have a biochemical imbalance in the brain or other functional problems, no matter how much positive thought or ego death you practice you cannot beat the misery. i have almost 3 years of meditation + delving into zen philosophy + hypnosis for positive thinking + daily exercise + healthy diet ... until at some point i got so blissful that i laughed to myself wondering if i might jump over the fence in reaching satori one day. the week after i tried to half my antidepresive treatment i spiralled down to hell! and stayed there for a long while... the only thing that remained out of my years of practice was the fact that i pondered suicide in a very unchallenging way. so be considerate for those who say that they can't be "positive" at command or in practice

anywherein12seconds Thank you for sharing that, and I understand. The people who think happiness is a choice and that there is some magical on switch in the brain infuriate me. I've had people shut me out of their lives because of my negativity, maybe rightfully so. Too bad for them, I've grown into someone who has conquered my own negativity and I use what I've learned about myself to help others. When someone else is in a ditch, they can get out, and you can either ignore them so you don't have to deal with any negativity, or you can do the truly positive thing and be there for them.

Daniel Carr i'm afraid too many westerners that get into eastern philosophy become too detached from the pain, suffering and mischief around them, uninvolved in prosocial actions (because that's "the way of the world", the tao, etc) but that is so wrong; taoism, zen buddhism... they only say that you should do what your "nature" tells you to do, and also don't overdo it. so if your nature is to be considerate of others that's what you should be... and that is a very precious resource in society :)) about negativity, the most clear, rational, useful, and in the same time the funniest examination on the subject is eckart tolle's "pain body". if you read it it instantly enlightens you about people around you and society at large :) if you're curious there's plenty on youtube

Krystal LeeJane well said

+lokdoggydog I'm with you

+lokdoggydog It's not unbelievable at all. You are one of approximately 60.000 viewers this video will attract. It's practically inevitable that a chunk of those viewers is in an acute situation where this video is helpful.

+- Inderlandschaft don't be that guy

+sama-kun Depending on what you mean I either am or am not that guy. Note that I appreciate that this video is helpful to others and find it very important that everyone can freely speak what's in their head, especially if it's about quasi taboo themes like mental issues. While my comment can appear smart assy what I really did is pointing out that he or she is not alone with his or her problems but that there are indeed others who feel the same or at least a very similar way as he or she does. At the same time I gave a tiny lesson in statistics, which is applicable in a variety of situations regarding nature, society, someones own life and what not.

+lokdoggydog Tell me about the laws of the universe

17 ain't that young.

Yuri nah not really, I guess you don't see how many people think like this even at age 13-15. Don't underestimate people because of their age, I'm 15 and I've been on the path of reaching enlightenment for a while, and I've learned a lot.

i think a lot of people who are depressed feel good in some way about it , i struggle to be sad in the way i like

Jess Grimes dude, he's 30

Jess Grimes maybe I'm wrong, BUT, I think she mean the girl in the mail.

why are you like this lol

I think most smart 17-year-olds are at least this insightful, they just don't express it because of the fear of being different.

Pappaperc yuppp☝🏻

I think it makes sense man. I listen to sad music because I'm able to relate and that helps me understand my problems and figure out how to fix them.

yeah that makes sense. if it works for you then by all means. i just go to sleep to reset my mind and then first thing in the morning i will remind myself to focus on happy thoughts and let them grow and expand through the day

Joakim Mäkinen i do the same thing

The secrets in the music

Joakim Mäkinen completely logical I do the same thing

Evan May *Cheers*

Sahil Bhardwaj Yo I know this is old but its good to see fellow Indians here. We need to get rid of the stigma that comes with psychedelics in our society. Peace and love from Amritsar, Punjab bro

It made me giggle :P

Is ther a stigma about it? What is it about? Houghnestly curious. Grts

also 9:07 and just before that. Speaking about "resonating" with you, "either negatively or positively," and "peptides being molecular in structure," juxtaposed with your mentioning of vibrational energy were all very well delivered and I did catch that grin

dont judge

same with me and so many other people in my experience I don't really enjoy weed but once I tried shrooms it helped me find the positive in myself and realize how awesome I am. It's great to hear other people being effected so positively by psychedelics

When I did MDMA a few years ago I found it absolutely great. I was able to reflect of myself and whatever it was keeping me from being happy when I was sober. I have done MDMA probably about 30 times, however nowadays I have developed somewhat of a fear of drugs. Last time I did MDMA was probably about 6 months ago. This time I barely felt euphoric, I was having a really deep emotional conversation with a friend and he told me he is suicidal. I have smoked weed daily for 5 years and quit about 4 months ago. Ultimately, I always thought the drugs were helping me, and they did, but their benefits are only temporary. I had an LSD trip which effected my life permanently, but I wouldn't say that it is all positive. I still suffer from depression and social anxiety even though I have realized so many things. Like SWIM says there are highs and lows, and sometimes you think you actually made it to a point where nothing can break you when suddenly BOOM! you're worse than you've ever been.

I don't mean to break your spirit though, if you've greatly benefitted from your experiences with these substances then I really am happy for you ! You should always try your best to enjoy life and stay positive no matter what, it's just that for me personally it isn't really working out. I have reached the ultimate high and the ultimate low, and even though I have learned so incredibly much, I still don't feel like I have made progress because my physical circumstances seem to have just gotten worse. I guess I need to learn how to manifest my intelligence into this physical reality.

+jaritheskater "the lows are just as important as the highs"

You might have aspergers or maybe live with a narcassist like me ive done the same things as u too cope like u but it only brought me down im becoming sober been a few Weeks u should Do the same im actually on a phycsis rn take care

Endre Kovács wow powerful, I know exactly what you mean, and it's right.

I was thinking the same! What a incredible book!

yeah, very eyes-opening book

+xDarkAngelx93 Whether you believe in veganism or not - this is true. On a physical level stress releases toxic hormones which these animals are high in. On top of that these animals are pumped full of artificial hormones!!! On so many levels this food is a toxin for the human body. Much of the food we eat, is why we get the diseases we get. It's so obvious, yet so many people won't face the reality of it. Disease means a body that is not AT EASE. Dis-Ease. How do you expect to put your body at ease when you are pumping it full of disgusting toxic chemicals? You, literally, are what you eat. The food you eat goes to create the cells that make up your body. If you eat shit, you are made of shit. (not literally, but you will have a higher presence of toxins within your body which will create more stress for your internal organs. More stress = more illness) Do I think everyone should be Vegan? No. Do I think the way animals are treated is beneficial to our survival? No. Do I think how we live as a whole is healthy to us? No. However, you need to understand that if you eat the meat that is available today, you are poisoning your body on some level or other. Meaning you will be healthier if you stop eating this toxic meat. Processed meats especially are a huge factor in raising the levels of colon cancer and other forms of cancer. I could go on and on here. I hate talking about this, because no matter what I am going to offend someone. But the truth is easy to see. Farming animals the same we farm corn is not beneficial for those animals, or the humans eating them.

+SWIM Do I think how.....? Will you finish the thought in an upcoming vid? Was that an accident you didn't finish the sentence or did you run out of room? Anyways, I love your vids and one of my favorite parts of Saturday is your other channels uploads. I kept wondering why you didn't do a ketamine report and you explained in your last video and I didn't think of it that way and it opened my eyes. Keep up the great work!

+SWIM So true :D The people who will be offended by this are only in denial of how true this is.

+SWIM Thanks for your response. Jeah it's hard to not offend anyone with this topic because so many people are biased with their diet. Well explained.

+xDarkAngelx93 There are also several ecological, ethical and health benefits associated with veganism.

+scott B Yes please.

+scott B Yeah, Adam mentions in passing that he meditates but doesn't go into detail. I'm interested into what types of meditation/practice he uses, what literature, or aides or whatever. Any advice for integrating it into every day life / routine. He mentions that it can help with taking psychedelics, again I would like detail, techniques, etc. In particular suppose one (stupidly or otherwise) incorrectly sets the setting, as in "set and setting", what can one do? From my experience being in a foreign country can induce anxiety so bad that my meditation techniques don't work.

scott B Lol, done.

@@mbbx6ss2 he probably does somantic meditation if it is for psychodelics

FreaZyy hey bud, just so you know I had a very similar experience. I also had effects that lasted twoish months after. I definitely remember thinking that I was a psychopath or that I had screwed up my brain. It has now been a year and I look back on that experience as humbling and healing. I dealt with some insecurities and as time passed knowing that I faced those, knowing that that is as bad as it gets, has left me with less intense to no insecurities. I hope this helps you. Also, about 3 months after the trip I travelled abroad. Making connections with other people and seeing new things acted as a literal jumpstart to feeling confident and not anxious. I would suggest giving it a try if you keep feeling uncomfortable with yourself.

i would love to have adam as a therapist. so ive been smoking pot for 2 in half or 3 years now, my parents are locked shut on weed.. they are against it. i talked to my therapist about it, asked me how i feel about it. i told him "well, the past week ive been really debating if i want to continue smoking. ive thought of the pros and cons, first of all i wanted to smoke weed because i thought it would help me sleep better, it helps me with my anxiety in public. but on the other hand im lying to my parents who disagree with pot. i cant relate to my family, i cant just go up to my grandmother and tell her that i smoked this really dank fuckin shit called blue dream that knocks me out, makes me feel like im on a roller coaster when i close my eyes, within 25 minutes after an hour, you know? i went through years of counseling to prevent me from becoming a drug addict because i have a family history of my family using drugs and drinking. but i come to realize that counseling doesnt prevent the use of drugs, its a way to help you think the other way of doing something. you can still talk about about it but its the actions you make, what makes counseling worth it." thats not 100% word to word, but i tried my best for my statement about how counseling works in my perspective. ive been debating why i want to quit because my grandmother disaproves of it and both my parents hope that i dont smoke, well recently my dad saw my jar on my bed as he walked up the stairs, cuz my room is in front of the stairs. so ive just been trying to list personal pros and cons. with the pros, it helps me go to sleep because i have adhd and god for bid i could stay awake for a whole week without even trying. it helps with my anxieties in public and it helps my paranoia to other personal problems that i would have a harder time dealing with sober. for the cons well, ive been lying to my family for over 2 years. i cant relate to them. ive gotten better at it, but i used to always look over my shoulder. when someone says that your going to be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life from doing something, please take them dead seriously because you will. from experience i have, ive done it at work with my dad right behind me like every 5 minutes. it gets irritating because it becomes a nature of habit. it just happens. its obvious that you just smoked. for another pro, i have thyroid disease, i take a pill for that, the time before i smoked weed, the days i didnt take the pill, under my tongue would cramp like a bitch if i yawn, and my jaw would lock and its a bitch because the only way to uncramp my jaw is to chew. since ive been smoking, ive never once had a problem with my jaw cramping after smoking weed. and it usually lasts for 3 days until it cramps again. those are the only pros and cons i can think of. i dont really know what to do, i want to continue but i cant come to myself after 2 plus years to tell my parents that i smoke weed. my dad saw my jar of weed he hasnt said anything, im pretty sure he was talking to his friend about it at work tonight because he said "i cant say i havent done it myself" and his friend said "anyone responsible wouldnt do it" technically thats not true. i know people who have a huge paying job than what he makes and smokes pot. but i didnt engage because they also could have been talking about something else, and i just wouldnt want to say that and look dumb talking about one thing and them talking about something else. but again it sounded like they were talking about weed. i was listening to music until i heard him say over my music what i just typed. if anyone can give me suggestions to deal with my conflict it would really be a help

Christian Cooper from everything you said I’m pretty sure you should abstain from weed for a while. Go to gym or for a run routinely, eat well, have the same alarm every day and wake up no matter how tired you are. Everythig will fall into place. Jaw tension is often caused by magnesium deficiency, eat spinach. You can also try CBD. I understand why you’d lie to your parents. But generally honesty leads to better relationships

@@christiancooper478 relatable

@@Nemanoid agree

And thank you

Boy's got a nice body.

The best.

+Icedex LP Everything is gonna be alright buddy!

+Icedex LP A risk is a statistical expression and can only be applied to a big group of people. Where you as an individual stand in that statistic you can't possibly say until the event in question occurs. That said, don't worry, please, not for things you have no control over. Every day you life in a way you can stand behind is a day that's not wasted and that's probably all that counts. Everyone will die sooner or later and cancer is just one of many possible reasons for that, and I don't thoughtlessly say that.

Like he said pick a thought when your with someone or feeling cause we can choose and start thinking back and remember is there a reason why people don't like you, if there isn't its okay feel like this its normal, but there is. again its okay to feel that way, you can always fix yourself. And always say sorry. Hard? i know but after you do it and leave an go home. trust me things be better and over.

same here

this happens to me. when I go to school I just listen to some music and if someone doesn't like you, fuck them they don't deserve you anyway

I suffered and still do suffer from overthinking. Breathing. exercises, really do help. All things that require your full attention. At some point through repetition, this constant buzz of neurosis fades. I also, tried to escape the stimuly to wander and ponder in my mind, by isolating myself. It only made it worse. It really is an effort, but a real release is to challange yourself to open up. Through music, dancing. Anything you know, that moves to your true self and to another human being.
