Have you thought about if everyone had understanding it would eliminate diversity to some extent? People are less prone to anger due to confusion.... and a lot of people probably won't be suffering in the same circumstances that creates criminals etc, you would have less friction and abrasive folk that create such angels as results. I love your teachings, despite outta depth sometimes perhaps, I'm not devaluing them at all as they are an incredibly important part of this delicate scale as are many others who spread knowledge/their findings.

I listened to your video with guru viking I believe it was, and would have liked to hear experiences at each of the paths to show what happened, but it didn't go into that. If somebody is truly enlightened they have a lot to share about their path through the four stages. If this is harsh forgive me, just skeptical given how many psychedelic heads think they're Arahant.

Altered Traits is a relatively easy read on the scientific evaluation of meditative practices. Also the Huberman Lab episode on mindfulness is a nice neuroscience-based primer on simple meditation practices and their benefits. I've found it easier to understand more in depth conversations like this one because of those sorts of resources and actually practicing meditation, rather than trying to read about the more advanced paths/techniques without being able to relate to the baseline meditative practices. Being able to put words to experiences is useful, but true knowledge requires experiencing for yourself.

He is basically recognizing his thought process. Imagine meditation is a practice of reducing your thoughts per minute. You think habitually, automatically mostly and your thoughts per minute (TPM) are about 100 TPM. Meditation over time will reduce your TPM so after months your TPM could end up as 10 TPM. What you may realize is that you are not your thoughts because you use to think 100TPM but now you exist with 10 TPM, You think less in general, does that mean you are a different person or is it your thought process is not you?

I appreciate Daniel Ingram's perspective on awakening and his personal experiences, as it offers a different lens through which we can openly explore the spiritual journey. However, it's important to note that the concept of an Arahant in Theravada Buddhism differs from the interpretation presented by Daniel Ingram. While Daniel Ingram's description of Arahantship may align with certain aspects of the Buddha's path, it is worth noting that the Buddha's teachings as recorded in the Pali Canon gives a more profound and deeper meaning to what it means to attain Arahantship and that clear discrepancies exist between Ingram's and the Buddha's teachings as found in the Pali Canon and Early Buddhist Texts (EBT's). I encourage anyone who is seriously interested in pursuing this path, to firstly read the historical Buddha's teachings as found in the Pali Canon and Early Buddhist Text's, before moving onto reading the teachings and interpretations of the Buddha's teachings by others, especially lay-teachers as opposed to highly-experienced monastics. Just my two cents on this topic.

Also he never claimed that he is something he 'probably' knows, as you say.

"Think the loudest thought you can. How does it compare to my voice?" They both said it's way quieter, but when I did it I heard the thought much more loudly. He then said to picture something in your head, how does it compare to what you actually see? I pictured a green dragon and it was very vivid and colorful and detailed...Maybe I misunderstood, but I felt like my experience was not at all like what they were saying. I feel like the things I feel just inside my head can feel extremely vivid. Isn't that just imagination? In conclusion, I don't really understand the point here.

Think about it this way. See any image and then close your eyes and reproduce that image mentally. keep it in your head. Then open your eyes and see the actual image again. Compare the difference between your sense as you feel them and the memory of it. It can be a sound, an image, or just a touch. The intensity with which you "feel" it is on a whole different level than what your mind can reproduce a fraction of a second later.

Our brains evolved to see what is useful for survival of our species. The primates that meditated all day didn't impress the opposite sex 😂 and they definitely didn't go out of their way to make pesky offspring. When you see with crystal clarity that you will get old die before or after your nearest and dearest and what you do during your life will eventually become irrelevant then you lose motivation.

I'm a fan of reductionism. It's basically the practice of taking complex ideas, and making them universally simple and understandable. I've watched DOZENS of videos featuring meditation gurus, and not one has done this. This begs the question, "Why does this process require such a high level of difficulty?"
@Dkdudeman Жыл бұрын
The underlying foundation of cognition, meditation, and all mental processes actually cannot be reduced down to a specific quantity. You can't measure "units" of thought externally. The foundation of mental activity is experiential/qualitative. There are *neural correlates* to mental activity, but you can never capture the exact piece of mental activity. An fMRI is a physical, quantifiable re-representation of mental activity. Why the Buddha and most meditation dudes just say, "Hey, you've gotta try it," is because experience can't be universalized, it's 100% individualized. Once most people start meditating, the existing neuroscience on the subject can help to make much more sense than before, since there's been a taste of the experience.

Why the hell is it worded like that?" In my experience, it took a lot of learning to grasp that concept that now seems almost comically simple to me.

My journey with this whole "field", let's say, took an interesting turn on the day a particular thing happened to me: we all know that we uncounssciouly move during sleep, to repostion our bodies, scratch an itch and whatnot. One day I was woken up by my own hand scratching my nose. The thing is, at that moment of semi-counsciousness, all the sensations that usually come when you intentionally move your body came to me separately, so as to allow me to discern them. First I felt surprised by my hand being where it wasn't before, but them the distinct feeling of "having moved it intentionaly" tried to impose itself on me, then came the itch my hand was scratching. Then the reasoning "my nose was itching, so I moved my hand to scratch it, that's why it's there" arised in my mind, dissipating my surprise, at this moment the experience started to feel like a coherent "whole". But still my memory was clear that the events didn't happen in that order so I couldn't be convinced of what my thought was saying, despite it feeling right. I realized how that process was a mere fabrication, or consciousness isn't necessary for that process. From that day, I have an ease of stopping to feel like "I'm moving my hands" and instead feeling like "my hands are moving". That ease somewhat applies to other sensations as well, but I haven't been cultivating that ability. Although it helps sometimes...

Hua t'ou is a method whereby we focus on "word head" rather than "tail". Basically, what is the observation prior to thought? This is an effective koan in the Zen tradition. In the meditation hall you hear the bell signalling the end of the session. It is JUST the sound, clearly heard in an open field of space. This purity, simplicity, allows for increased mental relaxation which in turn allows for increased observational clarity. It is not necessary to enter the meditational hall. In every event, every activity simply say "I am not worried". The natural processes all take place, flow on, each on their own. As Collective Soul sings "it's simple".

I noticed Daniel talking about looking for connections between genetic makeup and the ability to reach enlightenment - I would suggest also looking into currently expressed genes and current mental and physical condition. My experience from studying Taoism, Buddhism, physical therapy and having a change in consciousness myself is that making your body limber with the right exercise, clean air and a cleaner diet, will help in making your mind limber through meditation etc, resulting in a reduced need to cling to a sense of self. To me this makes sense because our bodies, digestion, minds, the environment etc are essentially all one system, so affecting one subsystem affects the rest.

I have been practising meditation for more than 20 years and I am familiar with many of the things he is describing. I started with breathing techniques based on Theravada Buddhist teachings but I did not make much progress until I also started practising Yoga. Many asanas are specifically designed to promote a meditative state. Unfortunately many people practise Yoga without attempting to practise meditation as well. Without meditation, I don't know how I would have gotten over the most difficult moments in my life... However, nutrition also has a huge impact on our brains. I have experienced amazing mental clarity and mood stability since I started a Ketogenic way of life three and a half years ago. This is reported by many other people as well. Ketones are extremely beneficial for the brain, whereas carbs virtually destroy it. Unfortunately many people who practise meditation for religious purposes are also into some form of vegetarianism or veganism, which are hugely detrimental for both physical and mental health.

Self is a construct that develops based on societal needs (e.g. family needs when we are babies). The body and its perception exists before the self. You use yourself to meditate (self = our separate entity), but your body has experience before you create a self and it's affected in relation to the self (same environment, same experiences).

At my interpretation, ‘the gibberish’, is an almost perfect description of what it feels like being aware of yourself on DMT. MDMA has the potential for an even more pragmatic experience of this, without the psychedelic features. MDMA is used for relationship counselling, it’s an unbelievable experience to feel so self-aware and then talk with someone else experiencing the same thing. It’s as if you ‘just met’. It’s an even more surreal experience when you interact with animals (of course the nature of someone’s capacity to remain cognizant is a main variable here), especially ones who you have an established relationship with. They will literally behave differently with you, more affectionate/playful. The difficult part is integrating these perceptual/embodied moments into the ‘mundane’. I haven’t watched too far, but I’m assuming he was able to increase the long-term potentiation through meditation.

I think that whether we have free will or not is irrelevant. We are anyway going to proceed to live as if we have free will. Imagine being in the middle of the road and a truck approaching to hit you. In that moment will you take action and run away from it or will you say to yourself that you have no free will and whatever is gonna happen is going to happen and not intentionally react? I bet even Daniel here would react intentionally. So, if we are gonna act as if we have free will, might as well assume it exists.

What Ingram described sounds at most like an altered sense of perception, not ‘enlightenment’ Read a few reviews of his book, found this comment quite insightful: “Daniel seems like a person who is way too obsessed with maps and mind-states and chasing the perfect state and to me the whole point of meditation is to be with this as it is right now”
@WhatIveLearned Жыл бұрын
Per Buddhism, enlightenment is essentially the eradication of (the illusion of a) self. So, nixing the felt sensation of a central observer and perceiving the world as just sensations arising where they are without a centered reference point sounds like the lack of a self to me. The lack of a self would make being in the “now” a breeze. That said, I’m more into and have had more success with the TWIM style and there seems to be a discrepancy with the “upgrades” TWIM says should happen and what Daniel experiences. But anyone who can turn their default mode network off at will has definitely achieved something wild IMO

In Buddhism, having no self means you no longer differentiates your own benefit with other’s benefit, and other’s pain with your pain - it has a social, moral and philosophical aspect to it, not just perceptual. Ingram made absolutely no mention of these aspects, showing that his ‘enlightenment’ is at most on the perceptual level. That is what I mean.

He's an ER doctor and seems to put work into the scientific study of consciousness, which seems fairly 'moral' to me. Also, whereas the 'removal of the self' seems like it can be pretty quantifiable, at least from a personal perspective, 'moral and social' aspects aren't as easily quantifiable. If you read his book, it's clear that he's well-read on Buddhist history, and has a strong grasp of how it had evolved and eventually made its way to the west, and he addresses a lot of misconceptions people have regarding meditation, enlightenment and Buddhism, as well. Definitely worth a look!

Been a meditator for two decades now, and have attained the described state twice, very briefly, and my gosh was it disturbing. Ppl think this nirvana thing is some awesome bliss... for me it was deeply disturbing as it felt like I do and do not exist, all at the same time. "I'm there... but I am not", "I do exist... but I'm an illusion". An utter brainfck.

You don't eradicate the self, you can't eradicate anything out of human experience, that arises naturally and spontaneously and doing its thing. 'Eradicating the self' is misleading way to explain buddhist traditions try to get people to notice experience arise how it wants to and person is an outcome, not a doer of experience.

1:23:47 That's very interesting because anyone who has meditated for a long time knows that it isn't all relaxation and sunsets on the oceon in the mind. It can be like that, but Meditation can bring up some very dark stuff in the mind. Past traumas, grievances, hatred, anger, guilt and all kinds of things that perhaps you're not dealing with/coping with. It is very unpleasant at times and can put one off Meditation entirely.

It was an incredible interview, but one question remains unanswered for me. What's the actual benefit from meditation and chasing enlightenment. I understand the basic benefit from meditation - learning to see your emotions and feelings as separate from you and quieting down the monkey brain, but I got that from like a month or two of meditation and it seems to be sticking at 80% without need of additional practices. But that's step one and two of the whole process. Is there a qualitative improvement from higher levels of meditation or is is just a grater sense of presence?
@DanKaraJordan Жыл бұрын
Before stream entry, it is hard to even talk about how much better some degree of awakening is than the benefits you are talking about (traditionally, most traditions try to explain it using poetry, because prose cannot do it justice). Enlightenment/awakening is important enough, though, that Buddhism separates practices that target awakening (vipassana) from practices that target quieting the monkey brain, etc (samatha). The practices that you are describing, for one, are temporary and will go away if you do not continue to practice regularly, whereas awakening is permanent, whether you continue to practice or not. It feels like meditation helps to be a better person, growing 1% at a time in presence and concentration abilities, stability, and joy. Stream entry, though, transforms someone forever in a moment, as if you were carry around a terrible weight at all times without even realizing it - the moment you realize it, you let it go and are lighter for the rest of your life.
