I cant help but chuckle when people come to me wide-eyed because they just saw this video and they now think they are 100% enlightened. Its kinda cute I guess.

Rep for this post.
I was enlightened when I first saw it, and for good reason I suppose. It wasn't just my longing to know the way for life, because it does bring up some relatively good ideas. Take positive thinking, for example. It is as simple to do as it is to read the phrase, because thinking is basically your experiences and biology bundled up into a large audio-book that is always on repeat. Sure, you can break the cycle but first you must recognize it. Once you realize the thoughts that echo back and forth in your cranium are like clockwork, then you can begin to alter them gradually, and every day. It's a superficial concept that is effective if you're aware of your own negative thoughts.
