  • a dark cylindrical cone? Yougotta be kidding.

  • Somebody, hold him too close,

    Somebody, hurt him too deep,

    Somebody, sit in his chair

    And ruin his sleep

    And make him aware

    Of being alive,

    Being alive ...

  • @funboy7979 yeah, seriously, that's what i was looking for... this is NOT what I was expecting...

  • And here I thought this beautiful man was going to sing...... :(

  • YOU ARE EITHER AN ACTOR OR AN IDIOT

  • oh my god. oh my god. oh my god.

    this. is. so. great.

  • This is why we have things like rehab

  • the point is not to change what there is.. the hard part is to preserve it the way it is

    besides you still sound like a generic stoned morron

  • Comment removed

    this nig is always high.

  • he is a lot more fun to watch now

  • Fred Allen Wolfe was fun.

  • Your anus is pulsing, Ian?!!!

    lol.

    Ian's anus is pulsing.

  • THE FORCE!

  • Alex Gray is AWESOME.

  • Ian, if you're not a philosophy student, please become down. Healing with words? A better healing would be in actions. Spiritual connections are tenfold when tied to movements, changes, perspectives rather than words. Go, think, and do.

  • You might want to study study the philosopher Henry More of the Cambridge Platonist School who held some theosophic views and also the "Church of the Divine Amplitude".

  • See Henry More's Divine Dialogues p 85. for discussion of the "Divine Amplitude".

  • The photons are coming! The photons are coming! (time index 8:00 to 8:20)

  • i think the artist you were trying to get in your head to remember was alex grey... i might be wrong but i totally could link what you were talking about with his art. Great vid man thanks for posting

  • u can be such a vagina sometimes

  • There is magic and life is a dream.

    I would like to meet Ian. He is led of the spirit.

  • i told jc kenner to look at the fred alan wolf vids. i love em to ;-0

  • i'm intigued by your concept of stored energy.. or perhaps an energy center. Very eastern.

  • excellent

  • you always confuse me. im deep, but i think your trying to hard

  • aaaah positivity responds with positivity , maybe just be good

  • Be careful young grasshopper, tension in anus lead to horrific hemorrhoids.

  • I am fearful, I dreamed about Ian's art work behind him, Oh Lord, forgive me if I don't understand!

  • i dont wanna shop anymore

  • hes fuckin higghhhh motherfucker

  • the most important question is what causes delusional schizophrenia

  • pippy pop pa pop pop; pow!

  • You're not alone, Donnie Darko. :-)

  • Alex Grey?

  • what would be the best animal to describe Ian; i'm thinkin' kitty cat on cat nip

  • stop talking fucking shit

  • your so off the mark sometimes, first of all anal sex is GOOD for the flow, in fact, it gets it moving big time. You should try it sometime. Second point,, I don't just visualize what your talking about, I manipulate it. you can play with the living matrix, it responds to your every move and thought. Also, on another note, aliens are the reason we desire to go into space. They have been fueling that desire for over 50000 years. We have been around a lot longer than the 10000 years you claim.

  • LOL Oh, man. Canadians, I swear. GingaSoulja, you and RedSkull and Tom Serson ought to get together, and you can show them how anal sex is good for the flow. LOL 'Play with the living matrix'? LOL God, you're killin' me here. 'Aliens are the reason we desire to go to space'? Stop. Oh, shit. Christ.

  • 2 words: piss off! I don't care what you think, give it 4 years, then kiss my ass...opps... my canadian ass!

  • You look a little like Greg Kinnear...

  • Buahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ok so I tuned out for a minute while this video was playing and then I just heard...

    "I keep feeling tension in my anus...it's like pulsating"

    "anal sex is not a good idea because your anus is like the core of your power....it's a central power core...don't compact it, let it flow naturally"

  • oh no a gay!!

  • Fred Alan Wolf also wrote Parallel Universes- check it out. Good stuff.

  • It's just the manic state of being caught up in the sense of profoundness of the realizations you make. It eventually becomes just as normal as your orange juice and stops being about ego and power and manipulation and distills into pure being. Don't get too caught up in the chemicals though. Awareness is more effectively expanded in a sober, calm, lucid state where you can take in a broader range of input than the narrow view some things impress upon you.

  • The Universal Mind Lattice

  • Annie Besant

  • time travel

    tripping

  • No, creative visualization does not make you invulnerable to muggers. No, your chakras or whatever have nothing to do with anything. No, you do not exist on a higher, more transcendent plane than the unwashed masses around you. Yes, you are full of self-indulgent, incoherent New Age claptrap disguised as profundity. And while your 'power core' may not be up your ass, your head certainly is. 'Encompassment' is not a word.

  • And that Scientology ad placed prominently at upper right shows what an absolute moral cripple you are. The CoS is one of the most oppressive, venal, vindictive personality cults on the planet and you shill for them, at least indirectly. Get respectable. Advertise porn sites or something.

  • Wave Particle Duality does seem to support the idea that REALITY is, at least on some level, maleable by consciousness. As for that "soul visualization" you should check out the 'tower of babel' in the scripture. Chakra art may express the latent power of the SOUL (i.e. ego) but the deeper truth is that God is real and his consciousness holds all of quantum existence in a gaze of love.

  • your a good man ian.

    remember to be open to truth.

  • man I like your early stuff... And you were so handsome.!!! Not that I am gay.. And wow you and Amanda were so good on camera..!!! It captivated me..!! I never knew what to expect..!!

  • ian... u've got it all wrong.. meditation & third sight r NOT 4 u 2 manipulate others.. if u really think manipulating others is cool & makes u connected.. ur karma is screwed. Please do not merely think that u r misunderstood with this comment. U do show patterns of thought & core beliefs in ur vids, particularly w\repeated word choices.

    As for the black pyramid that most meditators see, what meaning does that image have 4 u currently, and has its meaning changed 4 u over "time"?

  • Just focus your Chi or its energy wasted. Go as deep as the pond will take you but forget to breath. Life is best on Edge.

    Peace in your world

  • You know when you haven't seen someone in a long time and you finally run into them again and it's so obvious they've gained or lost weight? Well, that's what it's like coming to your channel. You're on this continuous path downhill and you don't wear it nicely.

  • Looks like your brain is hurting. Just a comment.

  • your ego is crazy

  • You are using words, which are thoughts put into "form". When we communicate in "word", and understand on certain levels, we are in the same "vibration" of thought/word.

    The feeling in your anus/gut is chakra energy as you allow yourself to open in receiving and sharing with others. Don't ever expect everyone to be on the same vibration with you at all times.

    It's hard being a human Ian.

  • why do you think so deep into things. It's really depressing (all of your videos) and I'm sick of your shit.

  • LMAO NICE :)

  • Came by to see how you are ian..... I was with you for the first 1m 30 sec then well you went into ian crackland.... when you got to the anus part I had to stop the video........

    find the balance, you are way out in left field someplace

  • one thing that baffles me about Ian is that he never gets his haircut short; even in the summer, lol

  • your eyes are open too wide

  • its called crack

  • The featured living creature on googles Earthday Logo is a turtle!

  • I can hear the conversation when Ian calls upon those at Cal. Tech.

    Secretary: "I have an Ian Crossland on line 1."

    Undergrad: "Who?"

    Secretary: "Ian Crossland. Says he needs to talk to you about 'some stuff'."

    Undergradd: "Ahhhhh, just take a message."

  • being alive rocks!

  • dude, you are manic. look it up and get help.

  • dude, there's something different about you

  • Nah, he's always like this.

  • why do you think so deeply about shit... lifes not as complicated as you make is seems. there is no deeper meaning than what you see, some people wanna do good. some people wanna do bad. some people wanna help. and some want to sit arround and smoke weed. we are not working towards the same goal. if we were we wouldnt be having the rpoblems were having.

  • I'm glad you caught yourself with manipulation... made me smile.

  • hmmm

  • Yeah lay off the anal sex. I think it has dented your brain.

  • lulz were had

  • Drugs induce altered states of mind where you're more free to explore our nature as beings in reality.

    Some people take advantage of that to learn. Others waste the experience on mundane things like video games or TV or what have you. And then there are the people who choose not to partake, yet think they are smarter because they have a more limited point of view.

  • Alex Gray? The one who did a lot of the artwork for the album covers for Tool, plus much more. What an awesome artist. =)

  • nucking futs.

  • You might like the Seth books by Jane Roberts Ian.

  • Watch my response, I make as much sense as this guy when i'm on salvia.

  • It's so disturbing to see a human mind slowly rotting away.

  • Hey visit my blog paulonegnosis-dot-wordpress-do­t-com I'm not selling anything just a heretical rant or two.

  • what

  • bro ur definatly on shrooms.. i feel ya

  • did you read the Celestine Prophecy?  I swear you'll like it..

  • When you open your eyes that much when you talk it comes off as aggressive and creepy. Just thought you'd like to know.

  • Are you tripping Ian? lol. Where can I get some of those magic mushrooms dude?

  • i read some where that the faster you travel to the speed of light, for some one percieving you you would look like you were getting closer to the light but to you who is traveling, no matter how fast you are going, light would still be the speed of light faster

  • You are so full of shit.

  • This video video is hysterical.

  • i understand

  • Your power comes from your anus? Ian, your thought process comes straight out of your anus!

    When did you start wearing makeup?

  • what do homeless persons think while dumpster diving for todays sustenance, and cigarrette butts and liquor bottles and tin cans refundable and rejected treasures of normal, everyday lives! Ian knows the kundhalini of anal yoga! some word salad needs a lot of dressing and a few flavor filled croutons to allow consumptionability in a corner booth with candle light and gypsy fiddling under the table! what a date you are,Ian, you always leave me masterbating and gasping for breath n beggin 4 more.

  • soooo basically i am ian crossland apparently. that is the worst news i have ever heard. and remember guys no anal sex cuz its disrupts your power core. hahaha

  • I wish people could be kinder to Ian. He has tons of haters and fans. I wonder why the haters keep coming and leave nasty comments. Wild guess? Maybe nothing better to do. Or we need to bring somebody down so we feel better. Now, that's sad. How primitive humans are...

  • I just can't do it. Tried but no

  • Back to try again.

    Mmmmmm........nah.

  • Bwahahahaha.

  • I bow to the queen ;-D

  • Pffft, I'm not worthy. You're the one who has me cracking up with your comments!

  • Once a neighbor came to my door every day before I left for my second shift job and dumped a load of her excruciating mental agony on me. It was such a bad experience and zapped my energy. After a week of this,as she spoke I visualized a tornado spinning around her, not allowing her crap to fill the room.My mistake was not visualizing a spout from her to the window. That night another neighbor told me the girl was rushed to the hospital after a suicide attempt.you can manipulate the elements.

  • Put one and one together, moron.

    Someone constantly hassling you with negative vibes eventually tries to kill themselves? Do you not think that MAYBE their obviously fucked mental state had a little more to do with the suicide attempt than your tomato visualisations?

    You idiot.

  • Is name-calling really necessary?

  • so when I floss everybody floss. tell me!!! I need to know.

  • He sounds like a homeless person LOL!

  • he started feeling it at the very end there. watch that last minute. trippin'...

  • HAAHAHAHAHA

  • christ, for the first 20 seconds of the vid i was willing to listen then you just went into your "i think im jim morrison mode" ground your thaughts ian. you have a good brain. so stop fucking wasting it on self indulgent musings. u can do it

  • Body, mind, matter, energy, coalescence, existructural existentialism, vibration, structure, reality, frequency, perceived perception, perceived potential energy, entropic entropy, quantifiable particles, empathic empathy, empetry, absence, form, function,

    functionality, etc....

  • --are all well and good, but as a list they don't tell us much :p

  • Your delusions of brillance are only the symptom of your journey to perpetual burnout. This is obviously your destiny.

  • i like how your eyes get all huge when your explaining stuff. its fucking brilliant.

  • I see it too! It's like a physical realm...

    It's bigger than us!

  • I see it too! It's like a physical realm...

    It's bigger than us!

  • There are some emotions that elicit a physiological response that are indeed tied to the anus.

    Your are correct about the photon statement.

    Our current ideas about photons are being greatly challenged. Those ten dimensions really mix up what we used to think about photons. Try reading about photons and M-theory Take care and be well !

  • Give me 2 steps, give me 2 steps mister, give me 2 steps towards the....distant cylindrical colander!

  • Frecken' cracked me up!

  • Everything is energy. :)

  • write a book, kinda like limploser said. ild buy it. its fun to venture into the minds of Schitzo Conspirators

  • Sirens going off lead you to believe that your verbalizations are extreme? Ideas of reference, dude. Check it out, DSM style, or in your case wikipedia.

  • There's a man with a gun over there, telling us we got to beware....on another note....keep your core protected and good luck with that Cal-Tec thing. You might want to call first.

  • Gayle, I swear to God we're twins seperated at birth, only I'm the evil one.

  • But I want to be the evil one! Spike said I was a badass!

  • I laugh at "badass" That's the worst you've been called around here? Pfffffft. We'll discuss you being the evil one when you're the one who's been called a fucking bitch AND a cunt on here - ON THE SAME DAY! Bwahahahaahahahaha.

  • Michelle definitely has you beat in the evil department.

  • Haha...ok, I'll have to agree. I guess I just got carried away.

  • Atta girl.

  • extreme indeed

  • The anus thing was surprising. I thinks it cool you can be HUMAN enough to say it! Freud talked about psychosexual development, immediately I made that connection. Anal- lytical. With the sirens, youre looking for balance, connection, and interrelatedness of events. Anyways man, good video.

  • um, whut?

  • I just got 2 Alex Grey books by accident!

  • Check out "TheModernMystic." Ian.

  • Ian: why dont you try writing something down...........give it a go, just once.

  • Is that your painting in the background?

  • I'm not trying to be condescending although I did receive a negative vibe from your video. Why don't you write what you're going to say before you video tape it? I don't understand why I stop watching in the middle of it.

  • tolle.ego?

  • hi Bryan

  • hello Felix

  • hello JR

  • Your entire project is doomed, my friend. The mind cannot control the mind. There is no part of you that can stand apart from the rest in order to act upon it, control it, manipulate or shape it. If there were, that "part" would itself escape the control, the manipulation, the "understanding," etc. You need to stop seeing yourself so much as a pilot and start seeing yourself more as a passenger. Then your problems with ego will cease.

  • I see a wrangling of the force. As if it wants to speak or communicate at all times but i can silence it and allow still mind. i sent you a message but i don't think it went through so i added you as a friend

  • Yes, I understand what you are saying. But I would just say, the logical endpoint of transcendence is not an ongoing transcendence, but an immanence. The endpoint of mysticism is not more mysticism in a continuous process, but enlightened worldliness. So why do you fetishize all of these mystical devices, that is what I wonder. It betrays a desire to control the world and exploit it rather than to interact with it and live in it.

  • Now we know why prison inmates can never be rehabilitated; core erosion.

  • LOL...core erosion

  • Any chance of having subtitles please in English

  • LMAO! Good one paul.

  • lmaooo, don't take too many phontons into your anus dude

  • the man with the gun is the man who wants you to fail

  • so the "net" entangles your audience metaphorically

  • In your comments and at the end you said you wanted advice and different perspectives. I feel in your videos that you are very alone, even when you are talking to people or when others are there. I don't know if the marijuana causes the problems, but in my experience, it can exacerbate things like anxiety and delusions.

    I think stepping back and looking at what you really need and want is a good thing. See where your passion is. Passion without expression is the death of the soul.

  • C'mon dude, get on WITH IT!!!

  • This is hilarious

  • get a haircut

  • You need to read Carlos Castaneda's "Tales of Power" series. Like as soon as possible. I can tell you would get a lot out of them.

  • If Ian were a chef, he would cook the whole world one big omelet and if you didn't like his gourmet cooking off you go to the bottom of the food chain and there's no dish to pass but yourself to cannibals each one around you screaming "Eat me, Eat me"! what a world, the kingdom of Ian!

  • this has been a long time coming.. unsubbing, finally.. should have done it a long time ago.. you are one of the guys that in real life, I couldnt stand to be around because you flip flop all the time..

  • "...siren going off...leading me to believe I'm being too extreme", "...pulsating tension in the anus", "....hey man let's do something" Hilarious - classic Ian. Such profound truth and absurdity to together in such high contrast it becomes hysterical. So unique, interesting, amusing.

  • Interesting conclusion.

  • His "Pulsating tension in the anus"... 0_o Why aren't more people bewildered by this!!??

  • Because even most people of average intellect are aware that fear causes such a reaction. It's part of the fight-or-flight mechanism, emptying the body to prepare for conflict or escape.

    However, to the idiot Crossland it has to be something uniquely spiritual...

  • ...just to clarify, I am not bashing Ian(when I say "absurd", "amusing", etc.) and I do not want to join the band wagon of people out there who intend to hurt and insult him. That's not just cool. I was just saying he's entertaining. That said, I would like to see a vid of him at USC, CalTech, etc. sitting in on a class. I just think it would be interesting to see how profs react to him and especially to stuff like this.

  • Ian

    Thanks for sharing.
