This video explores the essentials of self-knowledge as a fundamental means to establish true and lasting change in the world, as well as providing insights into the traps towards awakening.

"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."
~ Carl Gustav Jung

"A man must first of all understand certain things. He has thousands of false ideas and false conceptions, chiefly about himself, and he must get rid of some of them before beginning to acquire anything new. Otherwise the new will be built on a wrong foundation and the result will be worse than before. To speak the truth is the most difficult thing in the world; one must study a great deal and for a long time in order to speak the truth. The wish alone is not enough. To speak the truth one must know what the truth is and what a lie is, and first of all in oneself. And this nobody wants to know."
~ G.I. Gurdjieff

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it. Because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves."
~ T. S. Eliot

  • Too much text supered on screen too fast and for too short a time. Create a website instead of a video or voice the text instead of supering it. The human eye cannot possibly deal so fast with so much text rolling.

  • @free2choose80 Check the info section. There is the website and the article this video is based on. The webpage is also displayed at the end of the video.

  • Great video. So true. In the end of the video from what movie is the clips from? Cheers.

  • @pauland74 It's from the movie "The Fountain" by Darren Aronofsky

  • i was listening to cbl and accidently came across your video. When i heard the voice speaking i first thought that it is a ,,light-worker- positivity junk video``, but i was positively surprised that you started to speak about the things which consume all my thoughts and actions. Im really at a state where i cannot do anything else than introspection, study and help people. Realize that we mustn`t relax as long as people suffer. Intellect has to be used to end the suffering and not to profit.

  • check out the organization desteni production on YT and also the philosopher Adorno and Horkheimer...

    nice video man !

  • fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! awesome

  • going to display this on my page for a while well done i subbed to take care.

  • Great presentation and reality check! So easy to be guided down the wrong path when you are seeking the truth these days! We MUST listen to OUR SELF!!! Thank you! :)

  • Last time I watched this was about a year ago.. now I understand how little I understood this video and how it seems that the words spoken in this video are my thoughts exactly. So now I understand myself better than before, but yet I still have much to learn and experience.. this is essential knowledge!

  • OH WOW OH WOW OH WOW

  • hey man, great videos. but I did not like the part with jaqcue fresco. he isn't naive or anything if that's what you're suggesting. he doesn't think like that at all, he's actually quite pessimistic. plz watch this /watch?v=B-0ETX4z_DU

  • @Nuthatch76 Sucks to see how bad we get fucked by our system every day on. The hardest part for me is seeing my friends and family living on in a lie, me unable to bring the message across. I am the harbinger of bad news, I am the messenger, and I'm afraid that people kill the messenger way too often.

  • i think this video has brainwashed me. :)
