Frank, why not ask Daniel his honest opinion of your attainment? Not to be rude but I think you could really benefit from that. 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.

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. It's really more likely that he's right, based on his experience, and that not everything written (memorized orally instead at first for maybe hundreds of years) is going to be correct, as it was passed down by so many different people with their own interpretation, and intentions

However I will say, as someone who's studied this stuff a long time and have a number of friends going through the awakening process, I just want to say that people awaken in different ways. Different approaches will work for different people, so if you're serious about this it's worth exploring more perspectives from others who have also awakened.

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?

This was an absolutely amazing conversation thank you so much for sharing it with us thank you

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.

@ThePainkiller9995 Well, try not to discount somebody saying this stuff is too complicated, because that's probably their honest experience. There are just certain parts about this sort of thing that the mind has nothing at its disposal to grasp until some time is spent on it. Like, "How tf could there be no self? What even IS a self? 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.

This topic and discussion is very interesting... I really want to cultivate healthy emotional intelligence and regulation. Whereby it's beneficial to my mental state, as well as helps to have better relationships with people in my life. I am hoping that mediation can facilitate this desire.

Coicidentally, I just started getting "deeper" into meditation and experienced the desintegration of the illusion of self for the first time in my life a couple days ago. When this video was suggested to me, I was not aware of Dr. Ingram and from this interview I can see that his book will be an extremly valuable ressource for me in going forward into my meditation practice. Thanks a lot!

Fantastic interview! I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I plan on listening to it again tomorrow... and to take some notes on what I'm adding to my reading list. I couldn't help but be reminded of The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar when the topic of passing along this type of knowledge was addressed. Thank you, as always, for your channel.

"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.

That's exactly what my reaction was. My mental image is so vivid, what are these guys talking about? But after listening to that part again I realized what they actually meant. 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.

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.

OMG thank you 🙏 It makes sense!! Thank you 🙏

I'm dying reading these comments 🤣

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...

Wow, Daniel! Great stuff.

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".

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).

I agree with Ashith. When we face abstract concepts such as enlightenment, we have to be skeptical because it is difficult to scientifically measure and prove. I understand that people want a better state of mind but I believe diet and nutrition is more feasible. You're better off just following Weston Price's diet since it is more practical and achievable. Do not just trust information, question it. Otherwise you'll just be allowing someone to spoon feed you information without constructive criticism. We end up in this situation because we trust people too easily, which is how people get mislead by authority figures. Ironically enough, one of Joseph's earliest videos is about questioning the information we receive. So do remember to take it with a grain of salt.

This was very helpful, thank you’s. As you get better at the mechanics of perception, you can improvise in real time in a jazz band, lol

this happened to me as well.

could you please create English subtitles for this video?

I really really need subtittles on this

Greeeeeeat vid

@whativelearned Please tell us how your 30 eggs a day experiment went.

What I know is that different concepts lit up certain areas at brain through meditation as well as hypnotising which ended up giving a sense of statified and joyous but thses temporal its need more practice to become automict habits otherwise its like wasting time.

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?

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.

I really would love to ask him about intrusive thoughts, the idea of even categorizing thoughts that way does it make sense or are they just wispy thoughts equally?

Labeling thoughts can help you detach from those thoughts. Labels like "planning" "remembering" "memory" "speculation" "feeling " make the thought more abstract and less interesting. On the other hand I'd avoid more specific labels like "worrying" "angry" "sadness" as that can increase the attachment instead, as you will start to ponder the thought instead of stepping away from it. This is just one technique though. If you are able to just let go that's even better than spending effort on labels.

Hey! how is that egg challenge going for you? Im really curious of the feedback and results.

How can I have a conversation with you? You’re my favorite channel on KZread and I have some ideas I would like to expose your brilliant mind to and see what your excellent research process does with it

What framerate this video should be watched so we understand it?

In Buddhism there is a description of nirvana, enlighment, that if you are reach there is no border between yourself and therest of the world. But it is permanent no switch on off like he describe.

Hey Daniel if I get enlighted can I also get a Compact Integral Jack Vance Edition?

what are some specific link of guided meditation that helps achieve this?

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.

Beast. Was just thinking about the purpose of life and whether reaching enlightenment is the goal.

I have attained enlightenment, but I didn't know there were "stages" to it. Guess I need more enlightening! 🤣
