  • brilliant video

  • he has a point, activism of any sort can be a big trobule, becouse you may start to force your idea of the world to the world, what Ron Hubbard did for examaple, or Hitler too, and ideologies are the thing that fuck up the world, they are the ego of the societies. great point Ken, nothing needs to be done, and therefore you have to work realy hard.

  • @smallpotatoes989 egos, exactly correct. Our egos/minds get in the way from us experienceing true life. Google truth contest and read the top entry "The Present." really awesome book that includes stuff about the false ego and living in the present moment.

  • @Clear3490 ok thanx for the info will do that if I get the book.

  • seeking enlightenment comes from finding your trueself through overcoming all mental obsticales ego hate materialism once all is overcame whats left is pure spirit infinite energy....i have struggles with sex illusions of this world and negative beings but its clear why i must struggle...my teacher is sri bhagavan true enlightened being and also siva baba... buddhist teachings are pure also

  • How can someone be enlightened and not know the truth? Knowing the truth would have to come with enlightenment, or you would not be enlightened. True or false?

    If you want to know the truth , Search ''truth contest'' on Google , Click the 1st link , and Open the Present ( universal truth ) .

  • @Heartfullofsoul100 then i grant you with a question. The truth of what?

  • @djyasume1 The truth of life

  • @Heartfullofsoul100 Knowing comes from direct experience. Knowing is just knowing. This book begins that journey to knowing the truth. Read it for yourself.

  • we need more people like Ken. we realy do. he is smarth and he is not sold out!

  • Wilber states very clearly that you have to be your own hero, be your own true self and explore your experiences via meditation or comtemplation. Cults with this do not work, they fall apart instantly. Ken Wilber is the genuine article of the type of person most people hope to become, in their own way following good examples. He is very successful, and regardless of the assault of age, he is in great condtion. People will naturally follow a successful pattern.

  • @trakomako

    There was an official statement from him that he wrote back in 2002. Google: "Ken Wilber RNase deficiency".

    I haven't seen much of his recent stuff, just heard some audio. But it's obvious that he is getting worse and he seem to be aging very fast. Still doing his whole integral gig though as far as i know.

  • i thought coke head after 5 mins,,then scrolled down to see the defence ,,,ihow bad am i ,,,,some one hand him a tisue:)

  • I'll be glad to ascend and leave you fuckers behind

  • All these satsangs, seminars, clubs, cults etc are at best entertainment and at worse just another rock for the ego to hide under. Enlightenment is just a word used to describe the impersonal nature of existence as a unified whole. No self.

    Paradoxically no ego wants what it really is; self annihilation. But rather stuff like bliss, inner peace, the ability to bend a spoon with your mind, or whatever. All that is irrelevant to awakening and more about having a nice human trip. Simple as that.

  • What's going on right around 5:58 when he touches his glasses and seems to answer, "Correct," to some unheard question?

  • You probably know a sleeper or you might be one yourself without knowing it yet. True enlightenment is the acceptance of all, nonjudgmental. I, myself, enjoy being ignorant of my inner self, I truly enjoy being humanistic but because I am aware I know not to hurt others, if possible.

  • TRUE ENLIGHTENMENT is a wanting to be a part of human physical existence without being enlightened except when called upon to help human kind. We are coming up to a funny time period in human history; this will bring the true enlightened, (sleepers), and charlatans out. Sleepers are of the young and old, some without knowing it. We have all a need to become enlightened to some degree; some will have to make the sacrifice to become more enlightened.

  • To all those watching - do not be confused or put off. This is not a path to enlightenment - this is the cult of Wilber. As you read this text, the true nature of your being is present, as it is in every moment of every second of your life. Why do you look elsewhere for explanations of that which is staring you in the face. All true paths to enlightenment say the same thing - look at yourself - meditate and see what is happening right this second. Where the fuck else did you think it would be?

  • @T1Brit good one, very true the present moment is the only real thing that matters. That is what the free book "The Present" talks about with self-evident insights. TruthContest (.) com, you hit that one perfect

  • turn off

    tune out

    drop dead

    watch?v=FmgKwJhodZw

  • Too many people think enlightenment is a thing you can gain with a few classes and a month at a retreat. Enlightenment is the real deal. Your brain slows down and you can actually die/slip into bliss. Only a handful of people have pulled it off. All religions are based off the words of the enlightened.

  • @dancingwithcalvin yep...the metaphors are in EVERY religion! To reach this state of being, you need to go through stages of development - but religion/secret societies/gurus are NOT necessary. The Universe will offer to give up a secret...but you've got it want it, like a man with his hair on fire wants a bucket of water. Say bye bye to The Ego, Fears & Desires...see the Cosmic Duality...awaken the nous through inner-dialog...conquer the fear of death...with Enlightenment comes authenticity.

  • @rtubervoice The devil made me do it! Nyahhh! Typical pre-rational nonsense still believing your projected demons are separate from you. Projection is always easier than assimilation. It's time we grew out of the mythic childish tales of demons, angels, and white bearded men in the sky. Hm? Now Carl Jung will put those myths in perspective.

  • I figured the Russians were going to get us in the end,lol.

  • You have to learn how to spot a charlatan when you see it. Ken Wilbur is exhibit A.

  • Comment removed

  • @MonkeyMind27 Read one of his books - see if you can make head or tail of it. It may be that Wilber believes what he says and writes, perhaps he sees the things he speaks of. But the books are not written to enlighten or make clear, they are deliberately obscure. He uses invented words when there are already plentiful ones in existence and he creates huge complex systems of thought based on these words - it is intended to baffle. It is intended to be impossible to understand. Any fool can see

  • Comment removed

  • @MonkeyMind27 Hey MonkeyMind. I salute you. I understood from my own brief research on Wilber that nobody understands him - not even his most devoted students. They keep on complaining that he moves on to new pastures of the byzantine before they have had a chance to gorge themselves on his last offering. Whatever turns you on I suppose. Any profound truth about human existence may be found in yours without any directions from Wilber. But like I say, whatever floats your boat. Good luck.

  • What is enlightenment?Not satisfied what all the chakras and third eye talk?mind reading powers, intuition, inner peace, it is all true.THE-HIDDEN-SPIRITdotCOM It is time to lift the veil.

  • @rtubervoice

    I see. Well. It is possible. I've had experiences of what might be called parasitic energies or entities myself and seen some far out stuff that could definitely be described as demonic. I wish you well in all your undertakings and may you have radiant health.

  • @rtubervoice

    Illness is nothing more than a bad dream. A concept. Good health is a pleasant dream, but also pretty much a concept. I once met a guy who had a benign tumor in his left testicle. His nutsack was the size of a tennisball, but it didn't do any harm. Is that an illness then? A doctor would say yes, but he himself wasn't really suffering.

    Philosophical levels of enlightenment? No such thing. Awake is awake is..awake. No self. I am. Everything else is speculation, belief or guessing.

  • I'm having such a here and now experience arguing with people in youtube comments. How about you?

  • @rtubervoice wow this is one narrow-minded comment coming from your superficial mythic understanding of what the world is.

  • once you have all those blockages in your life, you lose all personal freedom to choose a spiritual path.

  • haha rtubervoice, its funny how such a seemingly obvious thing as projection can get the better of us. And rueljudge, i think that its an age thing. some more seasoned individuals may unknowingly put themselves into a life with materialistic wives, ego driven husbands, undisciplined, materialistic children, and a need to try and fit into conventional social memes. Those people chose a certain path. i think he is speaking to a younger demographic who hasnt gotten tied up in those responsibilitie

  • @rtubervoice Sounds like orc mischief this Satan fellow.

  • Lets all sit in a dazed state of I amness and forget that the real world around us is violent and unpredictable, Drink the kool-aid that Ken is pouring into your minds and slip permanently into I amness. It's all nonsense and meaningless, because you still have bills to pay, your stomach to feed and shelters to maintain, and kids that want material items. Hello brainwashed Wilberians we live in a world run by a monitary system, that means there is not time to find yourself, just time to work.

  • A philosophy based on the mystical experience of the Self.. is Sankya.. Although the same experience is found at the basis of Vedanta philosophy, its followers.. postulate that the higher Self is God. The Sankya philosophy, in contrast, remains within the limits of the experience of the higher Self as such and in no way denies the plurality of purushas (i.e. the plurality of immortal and free higher Egos), nor does it raise the individual purusha to the dignity of the Absolute...

  • Fundamentally?

  • Ken has a life path 55:

    "Way shower, leader to the light, whole-brain thinking, quantum spirituality, universal mediator, mental telepathy, clairvoyance, ultimate freedom, ultimate oneness, integral consciousness."

    So why is he such a tit?

  • This guys kinda ghey

  • here we are a perfect example of thinking controling the guru !

  • doesn't matter what this guy is telling to people, he is stupid because he plays the game of thinking !

  • @douglasmacjames Yes. When man speaks so much about meditation, enlightenment, spiritual practice and mercy - he is obviously far from truth. But....he isn't stupid and not play game of thinking . He is suffering really and fairly tries to punch the dullness of his intellect. Of course he isn't Teacher.

  • @10axyz impressive, you hit my heart !

  • mmeehhhh

  • ((°?°))

  • To all the people accusing him of being a coke head and whatnot. Did you know that he has some weird disease that makes him have chronic flu like symptoms and quite a lot of pain? And he still have enough energy to keep writing and teaching and is always witty and full of humor. I think that's quite impressing.

    Also, what does it matter if he's enlightened or not? You might be missing the point a little bit here by getting hung up on that question. Just saying.

  • @amx0x90 His enlightenment IS the point. Why would I listen to someone spout about how to achieve enlightenment if they haven't been able to manifest it in their own life? What other way do we have to judge whether they're speaking truth or bull?

  • @crazyoldhen

    That is a valid point. But then also, HIS enlightenment is YOUR enlightenment too. The only way you can know if he is enlightened is to be enlightened. If you are enlightened you will see enlightenment everywhere. You probably won't even give a damn if anyone else can see perfection in everything. Truth will always be truth no matter if we abide under it or if we are completely ego-based.

    And you don't have to listen to either me or Ken or anyone else. Find out for yourself.

  • @amx0x90 ..What weird disease has he got? I seen a few vids recently and he looked really poorly, he'd lost a lot of weight.

  • @RyanDotTv

    RNase Enzyme Deficiency Disease. Yeah, he looks like he's aged 20 years in a very short time.

  • @amx0x90 Lol, Charlie Sheen is the coke head.

  • @amx0x90 o come on he is on coke!

  • @smallpotatoes989

    I don't know. Maybe. But even so, who cares?

  • @amx0x90 integral allows you to be everyone and everything has little to do anymore with enlightenment

  • @Iex97 enlightenment is having enough time for others because you understand yourself

  • CNN Headline News

    This just in...

    Ken Wilber mind fucked himself to death today while holding one of his lectures in an auditorium. Rest in Peace Mr. Wilber you are now ONE.

  • This guy is phoney. end of story. 

  • @nixli1980 squeaks the mouse to the lion

  • enlightenment is looking at the world without ego, without the thinking mind. so one solution is to quiten the mind and this can be done by "extreme" meditation or it can be done simply be realization. what helps me realize the state of non ego is this scenario: imagine dieng, imagine getting a stroke and dieng, then imagine yourself dead, then listen to what there is. and what you will find is that there is "being". and when I get into that state automaticly the mind is silent and one simply is

  • @colloredbrothers that is still in the domain of thought. What happends the day after this so-called non-ego state? An unconditioned realization cannot be directed by thinking. It comes when it comes if it comes. What is thinking? Are you afraid of thinking? An insight into what thought is might be the "right" way to look at all these things in an intelligent way. Observe how your mind is tricking you into delusion this instant.

  • @ingvarandersen

    to me it isn't thinking, its a being. And when thought comes in I can spot it and go back to the being. that is important to know when the mind is active and when its not. My litle exercise for me is not at all thinking its being. the exercise helps me find the state of being. I pretend to die and then look what is beond it and the only thing i see at that point is silence or being, no thought at all.

  • This guy has not seen the absolute for a split second. Take a look at Adyashanti or Krishnamurti on youtube so that you might be pointed in the right direction. Don't get lured by this deluded coke head. Shut up Ken! Maybe you would do a good job at the cocaine plantation in Colombia. Talking about sprituality is not your cup of tea. Peace and love!

  • @ingvarandersen yea i was thinking the same thing, his head is swirling with thought, and i think he is lying, i thought i was just analyzing too much but he does look like hes addicted to coke, lol never really liked ken wilber anyway, adyashanti, krishnamurti, eckhart toille, these people are so obviously enlightened, you can feel it in theyre words

  • Comment removed

  • sound isn't so good on this. So is he enlightened, or what?

  • @19grand ... I guess what

  • Hmmmm, so what this man is saying is that the only way to be black is to be white?

    This is nothing more than the stringing together of absurd statements with stream of consciousness narcissism.

  • sniff, sniff, sniff heehee

  • - Coce user!..

  • he said it in the first few seconds of this video: HIGH....which he is.

  • How about seeking true understanding first? it is of the heart ........this is of the head.....a naked one at that

  • Wilber has to be a fag??

  • Claim nothing! Enjoy!

  • You should really let people find all that out for themselves and stop explaining how shocked you are by the paradox. Compassion is key and what you are talking about is a result of that.

  • i've been looking all over the internet for this video, Spirituality in the Modern World, but i can't seem to find it.

    i'd be willing to pay you for a copy of this entire video.

  • Well if we were discussing english grammar I might understand your position but we are not. I have made far worse grammar mistakes than that and my spelling is atrocious too. I'd say your priorities are a little srewed up here and you are using the most common and mediocre deflection tactic known to man but that's just my asshole, I mean opinion.

  • I think Ken might be coked up here...what's w/ all that sniffing and, honestly, as an ex-user, I see the signs...please don't bombard me w/ negative sjit, I am a Ken reader and fan, I'm just saying...

  • @postyesterdayman or a COMMON cold?

  • @postyesterdayman the drip is @1:38 :))

  • @postyesterdayman ... I was wondering the same thing... I saw it in another one of his videos... he does seem coked up!

  • @postyesterdayman For Sure! In one video, he blatanly puts his finger to his nose and sniffs.

  • Do a little research on what Ken Wilbur said about Adi Da aka Da Free John. I can't prove anything about what I said but I don't mind saying such things because I know that it does no great harm to him or any others. My intention is not to hurt Ken Wilbur. As we say in Ireland 'he is old enough and ugly enough' to know what I am referring to. I'm pretty sure that if his little talk was interrupted by a news flash that WW 3 had broken out and we are all fucked, he would be the first one screaming

  • Thanks! Thanks, for this very In Light talk...you are right and very clear! fabulous elaboration..and perfect expression!

  • Has there ever been a bigger bullshitter? Has there ever been a man who is so far from being free and yet talks as if he is free. He is a massive pretender. I actually feel sorry for him. Intellectual blah blah mumbo jumbo. Ken, please stop. Do what your Guru wants you to do. His Guru by the way, is Adi Da. The One Who's teaching he is ripping off left right and centre. The only difference is Adi Da HAS realised It.

  • @stillanego Just wondering - how do you know that he's a bullshitter? And presuming he is utterly fake - does that change whether what he says is true or not?

    How do you know who his guru is, I don't think I've read it in any of his books?

  • @stillanego whose, not who's. If you knew proper grammar, I might listen.

  • This is a lot of talk. You have to experience all these things yourself or they mean absolutely nothing. I and many more experienced some really deep things through this thing: watch?v=2_a-Yh5FTaE , enjoy!

  • this man is coked up,lol

  • @ohnoyoudidnt00

    OMG your right! SNNNOORRRTTT...free nature...SNORT...I am one...Nose wiggle...The Big Mind of Me and You...Snort

  • thought?

    breathe

    thought?

    breathe

    keep breathing is better.

  • Enlightenment is not something you seek. It is something you accept and allow for. Superconsciousmedia blog

  • There is no enlightenment. Humans are dumb fking fools. You can manifest any belief you want. there is no way you can separate. you simulate all kind of crap. All same.

    Grow up humans

    Ask questions. Never agree or disagree.

  • no, just one nuclear bomb needs a few kg of plutonium... more than a baseballs worth.

  • @pyrrho314 ya, i read about that too. i heard him correct himself in a newer video where he said it would take a basketball of it to destroy all life forms. i think a baseball's worth would just kill all life in manhattan if i remember correctly.

  • that's good to hear, anyone can make a mistake...

  • Pundits practice. Pundits talk. Pundit paranoia attracts attention yet has no direct smack of lasting ease of mind.

  • He reminds me a little bit of Geddy Lee: bla bla blaaa. But it sounds so damn good..

  • whack job

  • Coked up like a motherfucker!

  • Thanks for the free stuff, Ken! Your website, Integral Naked was Rick Rubin, Tony Robbins, and all the others.

    I should sign up again!

  • Ken Wilber is brilliant in this speech, however, and if you don't have a clue what he's talking, I pitty your soul.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah sorry, I like to talk bullshit

  • He is real high on coke in this video. Can't you see it?

  • Then you should look at the guy in the background, he's about to crack during the entire speech.. Cannabis, probably :)

  • Maybe this could be called "Tweaking Enlightenment."

    I would agree that Mr. Wilbur seems to be high on something he has just snorted. It probably wasn't Plutonium - but close. Can't fault him for that. But let's be honest about "being our own heroes & heroin(es)" ... or "cokeheads."

  • He says that global warming doesn't scare him because plutonium is so much scarier (a complete non sequitur), and that he'd appreciate a warmer Denver anyway (forgetting that millions will suffer from GW)--then says that he's going back to flourocarbons in his deodorant just to help it along. Hey, it's the ozone layer, stupid. Maybe this jerk should do a little more "research" before he opens his stupid yap about shit he knows nothing about...

  • He has a sense of humor buddy; dont throw a bunch of rhetoric and sanctimonious bullshit at him. The guy is completely compassionate and cares about everything all decent people care about. He has degrees in chemestry and did premed and shit --the guy is educated and you should understand humor of different ilks. He might not share your sense of humor but that is all it is.

  • "The only people that are really worthy of working on ecology are those who realize that nothing needs to be done. And therefore you need to work enormously hard." It's amazing to me that so many seemingly smart people take this guy seriously.

  • Ecologists have screwed up more than they have helped in some cases--nd repopulating jungles and planting plants that belong and all that crap is good but as a realist can't you see we are destroying the place.Everyone including you drives a car of uses electricity and polutes like crazy. Talk talk talk about fixing it makes somebody noble but nobody is doing shit that will count. Examples of bullshit programs wont help we are all going to live in a garbage dump relative to our wealth.Poor=more

  • Comment removed

  • Dude, you're sounding just as incoherent as you Messiah. I wouldn't trust Wilber so much if I were you. Doesn't matter how many degrees a person has, or how "compassionate" he seems--a charlatan is a charlatan. He's very convincing to you, isn't he? Not me. I've seen this kind of thing before.

  • gcwaite-i dont follow this guy i just read a few books of his and understand his concious development;your right degrees from university means nothing when it comes to unprovable nonempirical information; but his books are"out there" for some but i understand the guy but he is no messiah to me.I understand where your coming from too but this guy is not trying to get laid he really believes it too he is no con.He cannot be proven empirically in any way but he follows budhist ways.i like buddhism.

  • What a prat! The blind leading the blind.

  • Looks like meditation is going to be the future forturne500 companies!!

  • "Not only that it was certainly possible, but that it very, very well could be likely to some degree."

    This is a meaningless sentence. The rest of his speech is so loaded with specious jargon that I will refrain from comment..

  • @ThatRabble - surely he just means 'its more than possible, its likely'?

  • There's a difference between possible and likely.

  • Man.

    I hate to say it, but this guy does not look or sound right to me.

  • Ken is doing his thing. Hes simply attempting to reach out to the masses. In no way is he trying to lessen anyone's value or worth as an individual, rather hes helping people realize there own eternal awareness that is divine and sacred.You will know when you have found yourself starring at yourself.

    "The crucial item as always is a paradox, and that's fundamentally realizing that there are no others to save and therefore you vow to everything you can to save them"

    - Ken Wilber

  • I absolutely agree that he is enlightened by coke.

  • @NJNTNT08 Kevin is an interdimensional portal of bullshit and pure light.

  • The bullshit yes but I don't know about the pure light. Hearing from what he is saying, he is just parroting the words of Eastern scriptures, typical of a deluded person. Taboosun, said 'we just need to maintain enlightenment'. If you are enlightened whatever condition you are and in all time. Your mind is always in stillness, like space. Philosophy uses simple words, but simple minds still don't get it.

  • @bille77

    His bullshit is multidimensional

  • yessir

  • Hes Enlightened, We just need to maintain Enlightenment, and when we forget to bring ourselves back... To the stillness.

  • Kevin is an interdimensional portal of being/s of light, a deceitful lier who wants to condemned people just like he already is...his body, mind & senses are just a tool for the ascended masters or interdimensional negative beings in a disguise of pure light beings, its your decition to fall or not fall on his trapt.

  • Very strange. People "on the path" disdain philosophers but hold this guy up as an idol.

  • he's into coke big time.

  • @bille77

    When I was watching him, I was wondering why is he wearing sunglasses? I a thought that he is into coke. Yes, indeed he is "high" as he possible can.

  • It all sounds very good, but there must always be present that thread of sanity which is an anchor, light enough to be reeled in, but heavy enough so that YOU are not. It is hypocritical to call people sheeple when one is not aware of their own ignorance.

  • wilber is a pseudo-philosopher, he understands nothing bout serious philosophy and all the non-sense he should not be in philosophy section in bookstores

  • LOL problem is with academic philosophy that it says lesser to average person than what you call pseudo-philosophy. Academic philosophers should revise all their works and write them in simple language (as much as it's possible, of course).

  • philosophy is overrated...

  • the no one that sits there does not know if its puffed or stuffed.

  • I like when he goes into his paranoid plutonium rant

  • fundamentally fundamental.

  • He is tweakin balls. I used to do coke and rant on and on about about every existential viewpoint. It can be quite spiritual but it creates immediate profound imbalance. Not recommended for enlightenment. It does enhance cognitive function during the high but the low isn't worth the experience.

  • he's coked up. he's sweating sitting in a chair. he just did a huge line through his left nostril...

  • He looks like Geddy Lee with a shaven head.

  • We are each enlightened, to the extent that we are willing to simply open our eyes, drop the differences and walk forward. Some of us also deny it, for in it there is the abandonment of those things which do not matter at all. Advertising, politics and our marketing and sales, and the consumption they drive beyond our needs and some wants.

    There is no more powerful teacher in the world than a living peaceful person, to those with whom she or he will dwell in their times together.

  • how many of u think its ever gonna be possible to be enlightened in this lifetime?

  • Look, Who is talking. I am. I am.

  • i believe you can do it anytime all it takes is a minute or 2

  • Enlightenment. What is that?

  • what is this? now. what is this? now. what is this? I am. what is this? breathe what is this? breathe what is this? now. now now

  • Now. What is that?

  • from your channel page

    "And remember kids:::::if you see the Buddha on the road...don't kill him...just slap him in the face with a big greasy cock...hard enough and it ought to bring him to his senses. And when we need it we can hope that some one may do the same for us."

    lulz, I like the humor built on the diverge between green and coral.

  • LOL I guess there are others who take the time to read a strangers channel page. A little surprised. Kinda cool.

  • enlightenment is an object.. not I amness.. lol:: this is hard stuff to swallow.

  • I'm afraid I dont buy into enlightenment what so ever. But it's fine if others do as long as they aint marketing it to gain followers and all that comes with it.

  • You mean what is That?

  • Is he sweating and sniffing AND teaching about enlightenment? ... :P that is contradictive.

  • you do not understand why he is sweating or sniffing therefore you cannot say.

  • Yes, but we can guess why he's sniffing...

  • lol, hmmm

  • ...

    how?

  • Spiritual pride is the last to go.

  • Anyone who truly wants elightenment can only get it becuase it's the only road that you can truly walk down. Be equal and have a willingness to see where our true equality lies and you will find both me and you as one Spirit. I believe all of you can and will find yourself. I'm asking you to join me in this belief which will take us into the Knowledge that is has always been true, is true now, and will always be true. I believe in you.
