Belzebuub - The Clay Model: The Illusion of Life

[littllespark]

I think this should be a compulsory video for basic education... so people wake up to the reality of life and start questioning things.

[renegaed]

HAHA this was hilarious! well put!

[AlexShuval]

A very profund message from Belzebuub about how things really are down here and beyond. It's really amazing, that each of us, as humans, has in fact this great potential to become something much more than this little clay chap!

[clarkusaurelius]

I think this is probably the most worthwhile video to watch on youtube. "The little clay figures don't know they're in a clay model." Isn't there more than what we can see? In time everything around me will be gone, but what will happen to the real, real me?

[ole265]

Interesting and funny perspective!

[avantasiacarol]

In the beginning i thought the story would be like Plato's "Myth about th Cave" but it has a different massage. Very original thx

[pklsrut]

but isnt everything always only in MY head?

[Gege022]

It's a good video to watch and re-watch. It helps to remind myself that all that is around me is an illusion. The movie the Matrix was a good attempt at making people think that there is more to the eyes than one can see. But here in this video it's more direct.

Some people LOVE the clay, and some people don't care about being in the clay, while others are trying to get OUT of the clay. But there is a way OUT of the clay. And Belzebuub talks about it in many of his other videos and teachings.

[Dookiebutt47]

that is just amazing

Recent scientific articles suggest life formed in comets, which we know are rich in ice (water), rock, dust, gas and complex molecules such as long-chain hydrocarbons and amino acids....perfect elements for life to form and thrive.

But i'll leave it upon the pseudoscientists to decide for themselves.

[Dookiebutt47]

@imahavedat hes talkig abut the spirit, hes talking about seeing from ur spirit, and saying thatwe are a piece of the big universe, trappe in these small bodies, objective science like the thing ur saying here has nothing to do with that, i do not dispute what science says becauyseu can study matter all you want but that in know way deals with my soul. All science is is the study of objects, ur soul is not an object, its unbounded conscoiusness

[SouthBendKE]

This guy is wiser then Master Splinter and Yoda put together.

[jackiebd24]

This example of our world is very similar to Plato's "Allegory of a Cave." :)

[rmckim]

welsh bill hicks right there

[hartnell]

Cool, thanks for making me think !

[secret00112233]

Friends, pls correct me if i am wrong:- the purpose we are here is that we are experiencing our existence?

[Dookiebutt47]

@secret00112233 close, the reason we are here is because we are the Universe looking back on it's self, we are what christians say Jesus was, God experiencing the Human world. Ur's was close but to much jiva, we are not individuals, we are all one brother, be free

[jimiepaige]

Hey man your view on the reality/illusion of life is so true, after much meditating and intense analyzing I've found that life is exactly the way you describe this. And I found out this stuff all on my own just by livin my life, doin what I do, and paying close attention to the little hints and clues that exist in society that no one else is ever aware of. You really speak to me man, I'd like to have a conversation about this stuff with ya!

[tiuric77]

Pretty simplistic. but I guess some people are still learning these things.

[FASSY524]

The movie the Matrix has some actual facts in there. Facts that I have witnessed. I have looked at something and have it look fake. I don't like to use the word believe because look at the word with in it. Be LIE ve. An Nowhere is now here. I feel like we are seperate parts of one being that are actually the same but appear to look different and do different things. Does anyone else feel that way too? I also don't like to use hope. I use trust instead.

[cruelfate45]

We are nothing more than an effect of the brain. The brain exists, our body exists, but we are an illusion. We don't actually exist except as the temporary illusion produced as the end result of an incredibly complex physical process. It's all just beliefs and representations that are no longer produced once the brain and body are no longer harboring the necessary processes. So when you die, you just realize what you should have known all along, that you never actually existed in the first place

[ruttergod]

cruelfate45,

If you never actually existed, and neither has anyone else, then why are you here on this video posting a comment? I'm not sure I understand your argument, as this would imply that there is really no point to our existence. My problem with accepting that is that nothing can happen without a reason. If there was no reason, then there would be no existence (illusory OR real). So then, there must be something more to our existence that doesn't die in time, otherwise why do we exist?

[cruelfate45]

I see your point. But I am not implying that reality is nothing, or that there is no meaning to existence. You see, what constitutes our reality is nothing more than the involuntary effect of believing that continuously occurs within awareness. It doesn't actually exist. Our bodies exist, our brains exist, but we are just beliefs.

[cruelfate45]

The interesting thing is that there is a reason for this. That reason is that death is the ultimate reality in this universe. True life is not dependent upon process, but what we are experiencing is nothing but a process within a manifested field of energy. It's subtle, but the truth is there, and most people would rather believe that they are experiencing life, that is why the world functions the way it does. Death is the absolute truth, but most humans are in the game of ignoring it.

[cruelfate45]

I think we exist to bare witness to the full manifestation of truth. Spiritual principle manifests physical reality, and all functions of God can be seen and understood. The question is, what becomes of us once this process is over. We are everything God isn't. I think our only hope is to allow God to move through us, otherwise all we have to look forward to is the horror of a death we keep trying to deny.

[FASSY524]

Well actually. You don't exist. your comments and other comments are only there to make me think that another person wrote that. The way I see it is that when someone leaves another persons sight, the person who left isn't there anymore. This topic can't be talked about.

[ruttergod]

or, why do we SEEMINGLY exist?

[TheLem93]

Nice way of thinking, I think the same way, but they are better ways of explaining it.

[MorTaLcOiL58]

gskowal,

My dear, you are the proof that 'clay people' exist!

[RYANREEN]

think outside of the clay, research new world order

[hamic13]

de de de same old freemasonry stuff,this world is not real,its an illusion

[novus8]

I refer my body as a vehicle and I leave it at night to visit others.You are not your body it is just a shell for your soul.This world is just a place to learn.Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[leiru18]

think of the matrix in a way. thats what i think he is trying to explain

[hamic13]

notice the candle holder behind him!

[gskowal]

There is no clay people that exist so this makes no sense...

[Left0verCuRry]

the "clay model" is just a metaphor

[opatrycja]

I know what you mean, but it got me thinking the first time when I read an interesting book describing our body as clay until we really aqcuire something spiritual inside of us, so we are like clay jugs unless we are filled with this spiritual part. The book wasThe Flight of the Feathered Serpant, by Armando Cosani. Some parts a bit abtract, but I think it was leading somewhere.. changing my perspective on things that's for sure :)

[Omnignosis]

I like this video in particular.

The "clay" description reminds me of my own realizations that our atomic world is only as real as we identify it as.

[gigi0819]

Those realizations can be a great turning point, huh Omnignosis? I can relate to that. It reminds me of when I was younger and would get scared while watching thriller movies. When I would snap out of it for a second and remember that I was just watching a movie, and that the people were just actors who were under lights and cameras, the fear would just disappear with the fascination :)

[ruttergod]

I like this. It reminds me of how we easily lose this simplicity when we seek vain theory and ignore our own wickedness..

"The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun."

~Solomon, Ecc 1:9

"I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could."

~Ghandi

Excellent video :)

[hobpeeper]

The analogy of the clay model is so innovative... I guess you could kind of explain it like a person in a cave watching shadows on a wall. Yeah... that would be clever too. Too bad it's over 2000 years old.

Phrasing it differently doesn't make it clever or new.

It's not really simple and deep. It's just simple.

[TerielAtmano]

He's right, this is much like Plato's allegory of the cave. Stop giving hobpeeper thumbs down just because you're unacquainted with ancinent philosophy.

[robd510]

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

[rdaveo]

Things of clay.!

It does make you ponder.!

[lebell79]

i noticed the piece of wood near the fireplace.

it was split.

[birdofthesun]

A simple story - with a lot in it. Thanks for the video.

[ubzervor]

This video was very inspiring! I'm really motivated to see the reality of our situation.

[robd510]

Need to get outa this clay for sure!

[JonathanCHaase]

I just hope I can properly do what those beings are trying to tell us and not fall into belief. Thanks for the video.

[gigi0819]

Yeah, I know what you mean, Jonathan. I really want to keep that understanding alive throughout each day.

[DeanWB]

Wow. This is such an inspiring video. Thankyou so much for posting it. Now I need to make the effort to get out of this clay!

[Venia03]

When the words you listen are so simple and so deep at the same time, all you want is your heart can always remember them.

[opatrycja]

That is such a nice way of putting it Venia :-)

[therockypath]

Invites a good reflection upon how we live daily life in fascination with things without any true value.

[86scirocco8v]

When I watched this video, it makes me think that we think we are in control of what we do, but in reality there are others who are in control of what happens to us in the bigger picture. I liked it, ill be sure to watch it again for more insight :)

[sandlfowler]

A funny side to a deep and meaningful message ... now to see the clayness of life around us.

[StasRybalov]

Really inspiring movie. It gives a different perspective on how we can look on life.

[richrm2]

A very simple explanation of a regular life.

[kdeh87]

The anology is quite effective, and it emphasizes the reality that things here really are impermanent. A powerful message that I all too often forget. Many thanks

[marcfieldingone]

A profound message put across in a very simple way, a great video.

[jojameson]

I really love this video. It is a message with so much depth but told in this simple, innocent way like when my father used to tell me bed time stories :-)

[RedBoof82]

I sometimes get the feeling that everything isn't real. The description of the clay model helps to explain this and to look into it further.

[SAB543]

Thanks for this, it really touched me the warmth and power of this message.

[christus1962]

Quite a funny and clever video which carries a very important message.

[SurgiKill]

This video had us all laughing, but actually I think it is an important message. It can be a bit sad to see how easily we can get caught up in life.

[MartinM777]

We need to open our eyes. Obviously, if a human being can see and realise this... everyone could see... Very good movie.

[rdaveo]

Put things in perspective very clearly.

[MartinM777]

What's interesting is that we could see this everyday with eyes open. We are really living in a play. What a good observation!

[marogarden]

wow...the clarity of the explanation, amazing!

simple life? simple clay?...one thing for sure, this message speaks straight to the root our heart

[kkaland1]

Thanks for this video! For me, it's a good reminder.

[Maisypd]

Brilliant video and very simply put. The truth of the message is starkly true.

Thank you

[timcfagan]

This is incredible information!

[davidg369]

Makes it seem kind of silly to get caught up worrying about clothes and cars and all the other stuff we worry about!

'We like the clay' made me laugh :)

Great video!

[kkaland1]

This really makes me reflect on my life...

[opatrycja]

This is really unbelievable. I have never seen anything put so simply like that. This was very impactful to watch. Thanks for this.

[richardspencer333]

Simple but very inspiring

[johnjohn2243]

That's the reality of our lives unless we do something to change them.

[christus1962]

Thanks for this great video. It's very painful being a clay model, looking forward to listen to your words of wisdom.

[TorontoJenny]

I absolutely love this video! Thanks for uploading it :-)

[RedBoof82]

Great video.  New way of looking at life!

[auceejay]

Belzebuub's way of explaining the mysteries of life is so unique and refreshing. Although I really feel with everything that he says, there are many deeper levels to it, waiting for us to find through searching and exploring within ourselves... This video really hits home about that point for me. Again one of my favs as well ;)

how painful it is to be a clay model. looking forward to view more of your videos.

[RedBoof82]

Great!  What an insightful way to look at life

[christus1962]

Thank you Belzebuub, how true and painful it is to be a clay model. Looking forward to view more of your videos and find some real answers.

[scotto181]

This is such an important message at this time in history

[Maisypd]

This is a great video! Very cleverly but simply said

[dparsifal]

This is my favourite Belzebuub video too for many reasons!

[JordanMRes]

This is one of my favourite videos up here so far - funny, true, and insightful all at the same time. Thanks Belzebuub, a great talk as always.

[79mais34]

I agree with you JordanMRes, this is also one of my favorites.

[79mais34]

Yes, it is a favorite of mine to

[gnosticterminator]

Amusing but profoundly scary at the same...

[videopawz]

Such an amusing way of putting it, but hits the point perfectly.

[normaleverydayperson]

Ha! This is freaking hilarious!

I definitely need to get out of this clay though.

[VVVadim]

Is it not true?

This video is a great reminder and a real inspiation for me. Thank you.

[gigi0819]

This really puts things in perspective. Thanks!

[Gege022]

What a great way to put it - thank you.

[ruttergod]

So true... Thanks for the reminder! :)
