This dude is really doing us all a favor by explaining it this way. So accessible without bring condescending.

I’m 26 and fall asleep to this every night. It’ll be ingrained in my head and I’ll know what to expect and go easily

“First noble truth life is suffering” I can personally attest to that noble truth.

I've watched this in 2021 and it's 2024 still I return to it. Very well summed up. This video goes to my Favorites.

Love your “down to earthiness” explaining this. I’ve studied Buddhism for 20 years and love to see how you’ve just broke this down.

So this explains the DMT/5-MEO-DMT experiences. This is exactly how to navigate that space. I’m stunned!

This video caused a 180 degree shift in my attitude. The explanation was so clear and informative. I had never been able to grasp the Tibetan concept before.

The summer of 1978 I had a peak experience where I felt enveloped in a warm loving blanket with a profound mental clarity, and an understanding that everything is exactly the way it is suppose to be in fact couldn't be any different

Just fantastic lecture ... well done. I am no longer afraid to die. All people with terminal illnesses should watch this video.

Perhaps, the lecturer is actually an loved one reading the book to us after/during death....

I feel very relieved after I watch the video. From time to time I remember the teaching and some other time it was terrifying to be tested by the so-called evil deities. The world/reality is so dynamic with the burden of choices we need to make I hope everyone will find their heaven or the light thank you for the wonderful explanation

This is fantastic. The guy unifies a few religions. Very enlightening. Thanks a lot.

Understanding this has helped me not to terminate my life. Whatever is presently in my experience is a gift for healing the belief in separation that keeps the wheel turning. I feel so much gratitude as the world has been being retranslated from something I perceived as ugly and cruel into a place designed perfectly to awaken all seeming aspects appearing as multiplicity aka the dreaming self I am. OM

Thanks for this. I now have the perfect gift for my 90 year old mom that is on the threshold and still cognizant enough to hopefully understand. You, My man are very close to stepping off the merry-go-round. Namaste

You are what you seek. The light is so bright and feels like ecstasy 🙏🏻💕

I remember this moment. I have been here before...we are at a moment of change for humanity. Breathe

Wow. Whoever you're teaching are really lucky to have you! Seemed pretty clear to me and a nice dollop of un-self-conscious humor. Way to go, Steve!

The flashes of light during the teachings gave me goosebumps!

Before I even seen this video, my gifted uncle taught these things as far back as I can remember. He also said that there are beings who got the map on how to get out but came down here to help others to get out. He also said that the majority of the people who are most aggressively oppressed in this life where the ones who oppressed and planted the seeds of oppression before now. I really liked how he describes our bodies being like stations or schools of thought. We shift perspectives by taking on a totally different body, location and set of challenges to learn from the errors of our ways and to gain wisdom for the soul. I can say a lot more but all of this resonates with me. Thank you!

For me its feeling like I can do anything and feeling postitvie without self doubt, resentment, jealousy, confidence and focusing on the things that truly matter. Love

Incredible! Simply what I need to hear I'm having a difficult time in samsara a moment of suffering and this brought a great deal of peace to me and a laughing cry simply wonderful. Time to be silent.

Amazing. Had a huge smile while I watched this. Its nice to see something you've felt to be true validated

Who is this Wonderful person explaining this so beautifully? Thank u🙏🏾

absolutely amazing it is so good that you are unifying all the great religions yes they are all talking about the same thing! And now it is also getting backed up by the latest physics. Thank you for taking the time to share this :)

This is exactly what I heard from the narrated audio book.. You explained it very well

Thank you for uploading this!

Congrats, one of the best videos I've seen on the subject. Incredibly good job , pal.

Thank you for sharing this. Please make more videos like this. I want to keep learning.

This explains a lot of what I saw in my NDE.

Thank you, brother! I thoroughly enjoyed this talk! 🙏

This was an absolute amazing illustration. Really enjoyed it.

I just stumbled upon your channel and I love your lectures! Thanks so much for breaking all this down for us! Your Awesome! New supporter here!

Got your book I finished it in 3 days it's one of the best I have ever read.

Thank you for posting this and helping to clarify the nature of reality! There is true wisdom in your teachings

so grateful for this video, thank you steve

Superb talk, Steve. Thank you for your enlightening words! May you attain the pure light immediately when you are finished here this time :)

Stunning explanation....thanks for making it easy for us. 🙏🏼

What a truly wonderful lecture. Thank you.

All of his videos are excellent but this one might be my favorite. Very liberating just listening to it. Thanks!

Thank you for this! Really appreciate the teachings, and the simplicity. Please keep me updated if you ever come to LA to teach a class.

I just lost my son, I didn't listen to the message to keep him with me.....life is fragile...now he is in spirit....I miss him so much....

This is very liberating on its own. Much thanks

Absolutely beautiful!,it 2:55 in the morning thank you so much!🌷🌻

Thank you so much for that wonderful explanation 🙏

Very nice concise explanation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead...Thanks!

Good lecture. Certainly easier to understand than the book. Thanks!

You are a Buddha and I thank you for taking the time to teach this. I have also tried to read this book several times. Now I strongly believe I can read it again and the light and truth will shine through. Namaste and loving kindness.

wish i had the courage to teach your teaching, for now i enjoy my life that you awakened

Thank you. Lucid Dreaming seems like a powerful tool to practice this.

Best breakdown I've seen, most vids talk about the book but not what knowledge is in the book. Also perfectly reduced 😊

I hope your still spreading the dharma. It is needed now. Great lesson.

A light started streaming in from the top my head and connected to another light inside my head one day....afterwards I discovered esotericisms and eastern religions that explained it....especially the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

this video is amazing. thank you so much

Best breakdown I have seen so far 🎯

I’ve always known that we are (I am) the light that we (I) seek. I’ve taken moments in my life where I’m awake then something happens and I fall asleep. I realize it’s the tv, it’s social media, I have to quiet my mind and listen. With all of that understanding and plus more, I come to realize that we’re all perfect! To realize in the moments that we’re asleep and awake is just mind blowing as well as having these death experiences which happens consistently due to CHANGE. Anyways, thank you so much for your insight. It’s good to learn from other people perspectives and understandings. Blessings to you. 🪬🌟✨✨✨🌟🪬

Thank you so grateful for the teaching❤

This very much reminds me of my Ayahuasca experiences

The first flash of lightning is not the only way of attaining liberation. The book makes it clear, you also have a chance in the next bardo.

Great video! Very informative

I think the trick is not hate this place of physical light but dont want nothing more to do with it.

Hi Steve! Thank a lot for explanation! I didn't read this book but your explanation resonates with the teachings of my Lama who is the disciple of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche. I agree that Dzogchen realization is possible even during life and certainly during the transition (so called death). I'd like to add that according to historical facts, this book was composed by Great Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche), who was a fully realized Buddha of those times, not some monks. The only thing is that translation might be inaccurate and without a lineage holder teacher guidance it's very difficult to interprete such sacred teachings by our dualistic minds (which is so widespread in the West, people read a book and think they know it and think they got it :) ), yet is a step forward. I agree with you that all the religions and teachings are interconnected and refer to light as a source. My Lama said that when we are able to see this light in all beings and see no separation (see yourself in others) this is a good sign of liberation. We all should start with compassion and love to all, we should try to recognize this light in everything, to recognize phenomena as they are with no labels of our dualistic perception. Thank you for posting this precious material! I hope your videos will benefit all!

Thank you!! Yes, Everything is mind projection. No Associate with them!! Practice n keep focus on "Practice of Kindness, Love , Compassion, peace n harmony in daily life" n u will not be wrong.Be awakened to your own True Divine nature self!! Both the mind n body is endless creating karma if u react n identify with them. Only u can "Liberate yourself" if u awakened up to the teaching n truths shared here. Love n Blessings!!

Deities...you had it right the first time. Thank you for this video.

Simply great explanation!!!👌👌👌

Excellent. More content like this please. 👏

Absolutely brilliant explanation! I will watch again and again... Sharon Caulder PhD

Thanks brother, bless your bliss.

What a simple and great explanation. I will always be open-minded, but I don't believe there is a greater truth perspective than that. I'm even a student of the Course in miracles, and I clearly see many similarities. Let's get back home!

Thank you for sharing.. I think it's particularly sad that most of whom u help are those struggling with addiction. It seems to me drugs would be a way to escape the feeling of being here without actually checking out, so to speak.. So the attachment of the addiction dooming the person to more time spent in this reality is truly a most cruel and harsh form of self affliction. It's not easy to look clearly at this society without feelings of disgust and hate. I can't blame anyone for wishing to blur the glare of it in any way possible.. Those who do are despised by the majority of society, of which i believe are indifferent to the suffering of others and typically benefit from it, the same element to put things in such a wretched state that the sight of it is painful to the more sensitive and empathic of us. It makes sense that ppl feel overwhelmed by the evil and greed. By the time the addict realizes the source of the pain, they are usually too eaten up by the drugs to engage in constructive solutions.

You are a good teacher!

Great lecture! Thank you!

Incredible lecture, thank you!

wow this is enlightening

Thank you for correcting me, I am learning. Namaste.

Great explanation. Thank you!

Knowing who am I and then seeing this video clarifies it👍

Great video brother

Awesome explanation! 🙏

I have read the Bardo Thodol once as well as listening to it on audiobook around 5 times, with sometimes more attentive than others. I always received new information each time going through the book. Even then it allowed me to obtain new feelings and understandings. I don't know what told me to watch your video and I don't really care but I honestly was not prepared for the amount of new information and understanding that you were about to deliver to me. I have been trying to have dialogue with a loved one on these subjects in the Book and having no success. Not because of them, but because of my inability to break down these metaphysical, spiritual, and esoteric subjects in a way which are easily understandable. I never had a moment of confusion during your lecture and that doesn't really do you justice as to how eloquently you articulate this subject. ❤ Thank you so much I'm kind of still digesting the energy right now :). Gonna watch it a few more times.

You who let yourselves feel: enter the breathing that is more than your own. Let it brush your cheeks as it divides and rejoins behind you. Blessed ones, whole ones, you where the heart begins: You are the bow that shoots the arrows and you are the target. Fear not the pain. Let its weight fall back into the earth; for heavy are the mountains, heavy are the seas. The trees you planted in childhood have grown too heavy. You cannot bring them along. Give yourselves to the air, to what you cannot hold. Rilke

Did any of you read the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche?

Very good ,explanation ofory of the model of the Bardos. Missing is the concept of what we experience in the non-dual state beyond identification with names and forms. To experience That (Sat-Chit-Ananda), do the following: access "Mahamritunjaya mantra - Sacred Sound Choir", and "Om Namah Shivaya - Shivananda Adi". Listen to each for 5 min per day for 2 weeks. Tat Tvam Asi - "I am Than, you are That, all this is That", whether with or without a physical body.

Fantastic lecture. Keep on 🕉

I remember watching this cool video years ago. It was a time when I had no understanding of non dual awareness. And I took the *"light"* to mean literal light. Now, since I know the true meaning, I have found a deeper appreciation of this cool video.

This is cool asf !! Thank you 💙

Thanks. Appreciate the lecture.

💚💚💚 Thank you for this.

For the most part he did a good job explaining it. But I wanted to add a little more information starting at 24:17 where he introduce different color of light as exiting point. It is exiting point and it is not exiting point. Let me explain, and take it as a grain of salt. These lights that one begin to see are different frequency that appear as one go through the Bardo. Another word there are many different planets in our universe, each planet depend on the society on that planet vibrating different frequency. During this time if one have not yet recognize their true nature, if he or she take one these light he or she will be rebirth into that planet. This is why the textbook talk about different soft such as blue light, soft orange light etc. If you are a light person while you are living more or likely you will be drawn into a high frequency of light which rebirth you into a good planet where society are peaceful and high spiritual society. If you behave badly then depend on your mind will be drawn into a lower frequency and rebirth into a harsh society. But if you manage not picking any of the light your mind have presented than you will remain here on Earth or which ever planet you die on. Another word if you want to rebirth on a higher spiritual society in our universe practice compassion, loving kindness and elevated your mind frequency when you died you will be drawn into their energies and rebirth there. No matter where you rebirth, it is still a learning process for awakening, Earth just happens to be one of the Goldilocks plain of existing. Not too much Chaotic (Hell) that made it hard to be awaken and not too comfortable (heavenly) that one forget about spiritual awakening.

Very informative!

5 meo dmt punched me through to the bright white light This whole thing makes sense in my life now, but also reading this book just changed my path. Started to get dreams of dark deities and I can see I have a lot of work to do with my own consciousness. My plan for awhile is to meditate to this book for some time

great stuff thanks

Guru Rimpoche wrote it. He was Stated in 3 Sutras that he would incarnate as Guru Pabasimbava to teach the Bhutanese then after travel teaching a secret practice. He wrote the book in question, his it to be found when & by whom he intended. There are more than 1 translations & the original isn't considered most accurate by many Bhuddhists. Robert Thurman, PhD, who is a Harvard grad now teaches at Columbia University as an authority on Bhuddism. He has translated the book as well. You may want to consult a Tibetan Lama on your choice & meanings. It's too dangerous to take incorrectly or from misunderstanding. Guru Rimpoche is a fascinating Buddha & his history is quite beautiful & existing. Pabasimbava n Bhutan. It's said he rode in on his consort a white tiger. He did leave a magnificent impression as that incarnation & the book was worthy of his expenditures...

The work is always here and now without need for delay or hope for better circumstances because this can only be addressed and healed within the self.

Thank you for explaining this so well ! I had listened to the audio book before watching your video and I was scared lol

I am a new subscriber to your channel. Absolutely love ❤ this explanation. Very inspiring to have understanding that We can cultivate our realization. Nameste 🙏 thanks.

I think I'm going to do a work shop in Belfast covering this book people need it.. And its really is amazing.

Brilliant, thanks from uk

I experienced the white light in August of 2012. I’ve been trying to find others ever since. I’m aware of psilocybin now, and I have met the transcendental other/The Father/ God. The white light experience happened 6 years before I ever found psychedelics though. I was completely sober, awake, and aware when I went out of body, and became the white light. My best friend was 4 ft in front of me, and saw the same entity that I saw in the quantum world appear behind me in our 3D world with his naked eye. There is way more to the story obviously, but I really just wanted to confirm that some people are experiencing this white light/ quantum consciousness. See y’all in quantum fractal world✌️🍄✌️🍄✌️🍄✌️🍄✌️🍄

💗 Wow!!! 💗 Thank you!!! 💗
