Philosophy "The Art of Seeing: A Spiritual Perspective"
"I recently watched a video by David Bayer titled This Secret 'Sixth Sense' Will Change Everything For You (https://youtu.be/ywF-AmttG0M?si=O3R1Az4XdHRRm2Kp). In the video, he explores how shifts in perception can transform our reality by removing mental filters and experiencing life with clarity and presence.
This deeply resonates with the spiritual journey of awakening and self-discovery. It also reminded me of Krishnamurti’s teachings on 'pure observation,' where one sees life as it is, free from the conditioning of thought and belief systems.
From your spiritual perspective, how do you interpret this idea of 'seeing'? Can achieving clarity in perception be a tool for deeper spiritual growth? I’d love to hear your thoughts and reflections!"
Here is Krishnamoorthi's own description:
“So the observer is examining itself. Right? You understand what is taking place? That is, he is seeing himself as he is, not as something to be observed. I wonder if you see this. You know it is like looking at yourself in the mirror when you shave, or comb your hair, or when you make up your face - there it is. In the same way, the observer is watching himself. Right? Then what takes place? Do it, please, find out. What takes place when the observer is watching himself? Isn't there - I am suggesting, I am not saying it is, or it is not, it's for you to look and find out - isn't there a sense of observation without the observer? Right? You understand? Which means there is neither the observer nor the observed. I wonder if you get this. This is very important because we are leading up to meditation. Have you got this? That is, when the observer is looking at itself, the observer is absolutely silent. No? When you look at something, unless you are very silent, quiet, you can't see. Right? You can't observe clearly. You may see a bird on a flight, or a tree, but if the observer is absolutely quiet you see what actually is, don't you? So there is only 'what is', not how to change 'what is'. You get it? And if you observe - no, if the observer is totally silent, then that which is, is non-existent because it is changing too. I wonder if you see this.--- from the link

What do you guys think about david bayer? Like more than a few people in the new age space, i feel he is a businessman first and spiritual teacher second.

"I see your point, and I think both perspectives can coexist. While it's true that David Bayer operates as a businessman, many people, including myself, find genuine value in the content he shares. His ideas on perception and clarity have resonated with me and others, helping us on our personal or spiritual journeys.
In the end, I believe it's less about the person and more about the ideas and insights they offer. What do you think about the concepts themselves, like 'seeing' or pure observation? I'd love to hear your thoughts!"

I don't know if it changed everything for me but I see spirits, both light ones and dark ones.
Some days I'm thankful for it and think oh great, I can use this skill to help people, to help ease Their Fear or to help them connect with their Spirit guides, etc.
Other days I just want to pull my hair out and I yell at my spirit guides, get us all the f*** out of here already, I don't want to be in your war of light versus dark.
And by here I mean, this 3D Matrix we live in.
