Does True EVIL Exist? 

You are by far my favorite youtuber these days. It's so cool to know there is a whole community of psychonauts out there like me. All of my friends smoke weed but they're scared of psychedelics - but I can come here and find people who have shared the most amazing experiences with me.

The height of the mountain is measured from the lowest valley.

"Your two eyes are symbols of duality. Between these 2 eyes at the exact mid point is the third eye; it is beyond the two eyes. There your two eyes become one with the third. Right and left, both are gone; light and darkness, both are gone. Your two eyes are a symbol for duality: they both dissapear and only one eye remains as the seer. What is seen through this one eye is non-duality, and what is seen through the two eyes is duality. What we see through the two eyes is the world as all of its divisions. What we see through our third eye is oneness, truth."

In regards to the bit about everything having a vibration, I found this link to better describe what I meant: www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/character.html According the diagram, everything is in constant vibration, and the differences between gas, liquid, and solid has to do with how those particles move and vibrate. What I meant by the line in the video, was simply that everything, even things that appear solid are in constant vibration. I probably just explained it poorly.

Please make a video about whether we have free will or not?

This makes so much sense and has opened my eyes to a lot of things that I thought were evil. Kinda has let my anger go understanding things this way.

I think your content might just be the exact content I have been looking for after many years of exploring RU-vid and the internet itself, which has fortunately and unfortunately been a big part of my life for so many years. I don't know if it's the way you convey your thoughts and ideas, but something about you just resonates with me on such a high level, you're without a doubt one of the most interesting people I've had the privilege of discovering in this unthinkably vast universe we call the internet. Keep it up mate, big love from Manchester.

Sorry buddy, I generally love your videos (on both channels), but I strongly disagree here. It's OK to judge some things as wrong. I have a friend whose dad raped her repeatedly throughout her childhood. She now suffers from severe PTSD, depression, hallucinations and more. I don't know what was going on with her dad psychologically that he did that, but I will definitely judge his actions as wrong. He caused someone immense suffering, and you can't claim that it was done in self-defense. If he personally felt that raping his daughter was a "high-energy action" (for him, because he enjoyed it), would that make it OK? I hope not. And btw, even when you talk about 2 sides in a war dehumanizing each other, you're judging that dehumanizing as wrong. You're still judging things, you've just replaced the words "high energy" and "low energy" with "right" and "wrong". That said, I do agree that "bad" situations (like extreme depression) can be a catalyst for huge, important change.

Completely agree I have never done psychedelics but have had visual hallucinations and still have auditory hallucinations almost every day. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2014, I was hospitalized and during that time I met a higher power that said the same thing because without sorrow we could not have joy. It was a very spiritual awakening for me. My depression left pretty much over night. I can't explain what this all is but I think it is to learn and grow forever. Never ending experiences threw out our existence maybe, who knows lol thx for your vids adam

Really good ideas and a great way to describe a new perspective on things.

this is a really good video, thank you!!

I'm really glad you enjoy creating this content, I love this. I would like to see a topic on dealing with a 'less awake' environment of people, coping with and/or advice on how to ease your family members and/or friends into important yet uncomfortable topics that we all need to address (other than raising awareness for wordly affairs) like taking a good hard look at yourself and your actions. No one seems to want to take responsibility for their lifestyles and it's not easy, but to at least be able and start a conversation of such nature would be immensely helpful.

I have to disagree with a lot of points in your video. Opposites can exist without each other. If space would be densely filled with photons, then there would be light everywhere, but no darkness. If there were no photons in space, then everything would be dark. We wouldnt have the knowledge of darkness, but it would still be there. Quite the same with life and death. A stone isnt alive, so I would call it dead. And it was dead before there was any life. Just because theres nothing that percieves it as dead, doesnt mean it is not dead. Good and evil though need each other, but more to that later. There was the thing with higher and lower energy actions. First you wanted to say that it is not esoteric, but then you ended up using the word energy in very esoteric way. Just because something is good or bad doesnt mean it uses more or less energy, if we talk scientific. Your whole paragraph about energy was just off. Does eveil exist? Without a concious being, there is no good or evil. If there was no life in the universe, only planets, stars, dark matter, black holes and all this stuff, then they would move like they would now. Planets and stars will be destroyed and new ones created, but no one is there to evaluate these processes. No one is there to call them evil or good. So objectively, there are neither good nor evil. But life began to exist in our universe. At least it did so on our planet. And life noticed that there are things happening that hinder it from being alive. A basic example: Volcanoes. When they errupt plants and animals die. Things like these got labled as bad. Naturally the opposite, things that promote and help life, were labled as good. Living things didnt knew these exact words, but animals feel what is bad and what is good. This is enough for my argument. So we got bad, but what is evil? Evil is the concious bad. So if a person A decides to do an action that is going to hurt another person B, and person A knows that hurting people is bad and he knows that his action is going to hurt person B, then person A decided to do an evil action. A volcano cant be evil, because it doesnt know good or bad and it cant know that it can harm life. But a person that does know good and bad, can do evil. (Footnote: There are more good and bad things, Nietzsche talks about different kinds of morals("Herrenmoral/Sklavenmoral") which are more specific morals, but the definitions I gave are sufficient for my argument and my attempt to define basic morals. All morals are subjective, Kant tried to find objective morals. All he found was the categorical imperative, I would start with Kant for a search on objective morals.) So what if 1000 lifes were saved by killing one person? Thats what philosophers know as the "trolley problem". Philippa Foot came up with that problem. My text here was long enough, so I wont discuss the trolley problem now, you can google it if interested. But I agree with Miss Foots view that killing that one person is the wrong thing to do. - I am a german philosophy student, I hope my english was good enough. Sorry for this long text, but your video gave me a lot to talk about. :) I tried to no go into full detail, so that the text doesnt get any longer.

In many ways "bad luck" and "good luck" are perceptions just as good and evil are. Watching this video has reminded me of a Chinese proverb I read only about a year ago. This proverb has taught me to perceive events as neither lucky or unlucky for neither really exist, they are only categories or labels that we like to place events in. There was an old man who had a beautiful horse. This horse was not only his family’s pride and joy, but it was also a means to an income for the family. One day, the horse ran away. Fellow villagers visited the old man to give their condolences for such a stroke of bad luck, as the loss of his horse represented a staggering financial blow that would be hard to recover from. “Good luck, bad luck: Who knows?” replied the old man. “It is as it is. My horse is gone.” Perplexed at the man’s nonchalance towards the apparent tragedy, the villagers went about their business. A few days later, the horse returned with a pack of 12 wild horses in tow. Again the villagers gathered, this time to offer their congratulations at such a stroke of good luck. Now he had 12 more horses with which to make 12 times the income! What a godsend, they said. “Good luck, bad luck: Who knows?” replied the old man again. “All I see is that 12 more horses have appeared.” The next week, while breaking in one of the wild horses, the old man’s son fell and both his legs were broken. What bad luck! The villagers exclaimed. Your son has broken both of his legs. That’s terrible. How will you get your work done? You are too old to do it yourself. “Good luck, bad luck: Who knows?” was the (now predictable and equally frustrating) answer of the old man. “My son has broken his legs. That is all I know.” Shortly thereafter, the government forcibly removed all the able-bodied men from the village, as the country had gone to war. The old man’s son, however, was spared since his legs were broken. Good luck, bad luck: Who knows?

Love the videos. Your opinions are very interesting and helpful to me in forming my own philosiphies

I'd say evil has mainly to do with the reason/ motivation behind people's actions

i love that all of your videos express every thought I've ever had. and if someone can't understand that good and evil don't exist because they're ideas that HUMANS made up then have fun living in your non-evolving dream world.

There’s not many things I love more than conversations and discussions like these

Do you guys notice him changing from white to black t-shirt. I think he's trying to portrait good and evil with the shirts.

I really like how in every "paragraph" you were saying you changed your shirt from black to white. That was nice..

Darkness does not exist, it is merely varying degrees of lack of light. There is no such thing as cold, only lack of heat. Perhaps what we call "evil" is only varying degrees of lack of knowledge, empathy and love. I implore all trippers to not only expand their awareness, empathy and love to our fellow humans but to extend these virtues to the other sentient beings of this earth.

Most people I know confuse evil with darkness and even anger. Real evil is happily harming anyone just because (including oneself). Darkness is behavioral stupidity (being harmful to others and oneself), and anger is an emotion that spurs pragmatism.

This video kinda ignores the fact, that there are individuals who have literally no empathy and aren't at all affected by other people's suffering, sometimes even pleased by it. And that I think, can be defined as true evil.

Amazing video man. Love your perspecitve, and thank you for sharing it.

How do we define what evil is? What good is? These words are just symbolic representations and constructs that humanity has created, like true love or freedom. Us humans love to create categories and boxes to neatly pack things into. "That person is evil" and "this person is good", it's convenient for humans to use labels so we think we have everything figured out. There is no way to measure evil because it is subjective, everyone views it differently. Like he states, those who do harm unto others may not believe that they themselves are inherently evil. Without dark there would not be light. Doing something 'for the greater good' or killing 1 person to save the thousands is an interesting thought experiment; an idea that has been asked for a long time. You can go around in circles arguing the ethics and morality of it. Also a request for the video layout - the way the video is edited with the clips so close together with no pauses in between dialogue can be hard to keep up with. Sometimes you need a second to process that really deep sentence you just heard haha. Or maybe I should stop watching your channel when I'm stoned :D

I just wanted to say that you're a really col guy and the world is a much better place for having you. I'm glad that we're experiencing life at the same time

I really enjoy the videos you make a lot, though I have a couple of comments to add to the content. Firstly, even though it may be correct that good and evil does not exist as a law of nature, it seems to me that there are quite a lot of things that is almost objectively evil/good by applying the use of reason. Secondly, I believe that the competetive and monetary society we live in are responsible for a lot of the "good" things in the world and ultimately has allowed people to have more spare time, live longer and healthier lives and to enduldge themselves in their own lives more than ever before. Ofcourse, it is clear that not everything in our modern monetary society is a bed of roses. But I feel the answer is closer to each individuals enlightenment and education about philosophy and happiness than a divergence from the competetive and monetary society which has benefitted us all so greatly. Thats why I love RU-vid channels like your own ;) And lastly, its just a little nitpicking on something you said towards the end of the video about the life cannot exist without death thingy. Could not life theoretically exist without death/non-life? I suppose it comes down to what one would define as life, but it doesn't seem to me that life is dependent on death for existing. But more than this, would it not be possible for something to exist without having an opposite? The only way I can see how everything has an opposite, is in the case that it does/does not exist.

I almost didn't watch this. I've never seen an intelligent conversation about this topic - until now. Thank you for being so generous with your energy. One Human Family.

1. Low/high energy whatever can be compared to any other religious bs... like... who decides what is „high“ or „low“? Some Energy conclave? The experience of somebody making annoying noises is very low-energy for me, if you get my point.) 2. How can you say in the conclusion of the video that „in our core, we are good creatures“? Don't you see the contradiction with all the previous points you've made? Does being human mean being good? Do you measure person's „good-ness“ or „human-ness“ by their ability to acknowledge others as humans? 3. I would very much like if you responded. I don't want my questions sound rude or ignorant, I just crave discussion! : )

I checked out when he whipped out the knife. I wasn’t ready for such a violent display of your true self, Adam.

Can you make a video about your exp with stimulants... if you have in the past .. for harm reduction

Thank you so much for this video. I've been struggling in finding myself over the past ten years and I have been diving deep into finding out about my beliefs and not my family's beliefs on my own. Your videos are very helpful in my persuit to finding answers for myself. Thank and keep posting.

Wow, I couldn't have said it any better myself If only I weren't 15, I would be a top supporter on Patreon

I have gone through my own life changing and very powerful trips and have had so much time to reavaluate my life and really create a life that I enjoy waking up too everyday. From when we are young we are all sold a lie on how to live life everyday of our lives. yku must break free of the brainwashing and the conditioning that has been done to your subconcious mind. for if you dont you may find your self having a mid life crisis hating your life later on. do what your passionate about, dont be afraid to dream. We have all been given an incredible oppurtunity to witness the events that will transpire on planet earth within our life times. There is a reason we were reincarnated as humans for this lifetime at this very particular point in time. we have been given the choice to choose to stay asleep or to awaken. I find great comfort in seeing someone as yourself existing out the I and making these videos, you are truel fighting the good fight my friend, I am at your side.

I REALLY appreciate your video and point of view on this matter. But I have a question; knowing that the universe will expand so much so light won't exist, are you truly sure that light always win over darkness? That energy always win over inexistance? That's kinda weird but I'd really like to know what people think about that. Anyway, that was really amazing, you are amazing, so thanks a lot!

When I had my second experience, that I had mentioned in my video that you commented on, I noticed that I had two warring drives within me that I was previously unconscious to. I had the side of me that was loving and compassionate and wanted everything to be okay for everyone. It was the part of me that craves happy endings for everyone and everything. I had been highly identified with this side for years and my identification as "Emerald the good person" ended up making me less conscious of other parts of my internal world. During the experience, however, my identification with my ego and my idea of "Emerald the good person" didn't mean anything any longer. So, I noticed that I had this very strong destructive tendency within me as well. This came up as a series of murderous urges that would have disturbed me to my core had I been in any other mind-state. I even had a strong urge-fantasy about shoving my thumbs deep into the eye sockets of someone who I cared about a lot. So, I do believe that destructive urges occur naturally inside of most people, even if they don't act on them or know that they're there. I believe that these urges only lessen as people shine pure awareness on them.

Yes. The answer is yes. I mean just look what's happened in the past 3 years or so.

The cover photo to this video couldn't be any more sinister lol

There may not be a Good and Evil, but there is a positive and negative; as you state. That is what we confuse with good and evil. We just don't understand fully the processes that go into creating a extremely negative/ positive person. There are people who are stuck in a low 'frequency', those people do negative low things; we perceive that as being evil. Its not, its the way of balance . I would argue God plays a part in this, as he does with everyone. Sin itself is a low frequency, that is why God has told us to stay away from it. Love, the purpose of Christianity and God's holy spirit, is of a very high frequency. Those of God who are full in love tend to do more positive and 'good' things ( and be more positive). There are two types of people. Those strong with the spirit (love and strong relation w/ God) and those in sin. That contrast has created what we believe to be good and evil. They are just labels for things we humans have trouble grasping. I'm not pissed off by this topic, being a Christian, it is very interesting. I admit that the bible is not black and white, when you think about how it all works, you see that there is much left out. We at that time weren't able to understand or comprehend the spiritual processes and ways of doing, so the bible was written simply and to the point; but still allows for people of God to delve deeper into the holy knowledge. I apologize if I regurgitated anything you said, this is simply my thoughts on the matter. And please, if you disagree with my belief, tell me how exactly how I am wrong! Just do so in a respectful manner, we are all here to learn are we not?

Don't worry bro, I've been pissin people off with some of the stuff I've been saying. Hard truths cut deep and when you challenge the way people have thought their whole life, your gonna get some push back. Keep it up man

So this channel is kinda dedicated to the concepts and ways of thinking you acquired through psychedelics, that might help people?

jerry used this often in his music, taking "dark star" into minor key, hellish explorations returning to the euphoria of "eyes of the world"

hmmmm I wonder if you got most of your insights from psychedelics? You said you were pretty stupid a few years ago, but that stupidity made you grow immensely and I think you said that psychedelics saved your life. I know this isn't a psychedelic video, but I really want to know if psychedelics can help me better understand my anxiety disorder. I have done a lot of research and the answer varies. The thing that I am scared of is my mindset, obviously with anxiety disorder my mindset is not the same as a "normal person" but I do have an idea of what to expect, and I definitely do not want to use it to have fun. I want to gain insight and healing. I also believe that if you respect it, then you will get better results. Oh, I was thinking of taking shrooms for this, any advice?

Thank you so much, I've been laying in my room alone in the dark contemplating suicide all day, when I came across this. I now have a little hope, I know saying thank you isn't much with how much work you put into your videos. But you helped me today. Thank you.

the more I try to understand everybodys prospective the more I find my life has less value

I have found, in my life, that nearly all of the bad that is done is because that person is lacking in something. In emotional or physical abuse, lacking affection or love. I keep trying to find people who are separate from that. a lot of people may look at an abuser and say that they are evil, but if you look deeply and hard enough you will find that they were simply lacking love from somewhere, at sometime. I look at people who screw others over or who intentional hurt others or even kill, and I keep seeing this lack of love. Hurting people for fun is because that person didn't get that good feeling from being loved. Then they just get trapped in the cycle of rejecting love because they have been hurt by not having it. Everywhere I look, I just see people hurt from someone who was hurt by someone else, a never ending cycle. The only solution seems to be for the individual to let go of their past and work on new habits, but for that to happen they must first admit they are wrong. That doesn't happen very often. That's why its so scary to look at myself, because, well, I think I'm right don't I?

You're my favorite RU-vidr next to Philip Defranco (who I've been watching for over 8 years). Your words resonate with me and I appreciate all you do. Thanks so much. Love from NL.

Divide and Conquer... an ancient concept that continues to work to this day.

Absolutely love the switching from black shirt to white brother!! Subliminal description...

You REALLY need to read the "Science of Logic" by Hegel.

I saw all your doing an pretty hard acid trip.. and sometimes I really thought I completely lost the idea WHY I live on this Planet and in this Body. Its pretty amazing what kind of thoughts pop into your head on psychedelics and especially triggert through your videos. Thanks for all your content! Sorry for my bad English :P Greetings from Germany! Take care of yourself and keep on fighting the war on substances that can evolve such great and lifechanging thoughts in human beings. LSD cured my arachnophobia (now I got a cute spider to take care of as a pet), it made me choose a vegan lifestyle, it made me more connective to other people (not just on the subsatnce itself, but in everydays life) its like the "boarders" and walls that I built up around myself where blasted away. It has had sooo many good effects on my life and my "evolution of mind"... its incredible... I love your tripreportvideos and your try to sum up what acid "feels like". I pretty much had exactly the same experiences. Its just great to watch your videos, its entertaining and really informative. GREAT WORK MAN! Keep on going!

I remember an episode in walking dead about whether a person can be truly evil or not that was really interesting

Certainly one of your bests. Very mind opening and inspiring dude

Absolutely awesome, thanks a lot ! Would love to hear your input on the importance of purpose in life, and how you go about "living" every day. Love the uplifting content!

Man, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very eloquent, to the point, and mindful. Clap Clap Clap!!

loving your work, insperational, and very educational as well, its good to here a voice that speaks my language, keep up the great work

This and your main channel are my favorite channels on RU-vid. Thank you, I get excited every time I see a new video of yours pop up. You're definitely giving people higher energy.

wave analogy was bomb. Nice dude

Best explanation that I have is: Good means action of serving other selves and evil means serving to yourself. Other selves is a fraze to express we are all one.

The best thing your videos do is make people think for themselves. Great job.

In the words of Larry Lawton: “I don’t believe in bad people, I believe in bad choices”

being evil is simply defined as harming/abusing/exploiting others strictly for your own selfish purposes/enjoyment/gain. it's as simple as that.

Great! You'v given my idea right direction. Thanks

adam you’re the real knowledge plug i love you !!!!

good or evil behavior is decided by our intentions while we do it. So, if you shoot and kill someone who you believed is going to detonate a building full of people, and you was wrong and killed good man - you are not evil. If you shoot and kill, because you wanted to cause a suffering and death - you are evil. So its not the actions, but intentions we have, which decide if we are good or evil. And its our choice to pick our side. Than its like a scales. Left side good, right side evil. Which one you have the most at that given time, defines if you are good or evil at that moment. In next decade, your scales can be the other way etc. Thats why put a emphasis on a moment of measurement. We can change.

“At the core of every molecule is an Adam...” is Psyched Substance the secret to the universe?

Notice that while talking about duality, good and evil, and especially light/darkness he switches between a white and black shirt multiple times

I don’t particularly learn anything new from your videos since we operate on the same wave lengths pertaining to these philosophical and existential questions but even so I LOOOOVE watching your videos. You’ve reawakened that philosophical nerd in me and I’m so grateful for that. Cheers, mate (:

There is no evil to overcome within ourselves, only delusion; the delusion that we are separate The belief that we are separate, that we are other than Love, causes us to do harmful and evil things at times. But there is no one who is evil! Since there is no one who is actually separate from Love. Harmful acts are done out of fear! Out of a desperation to survive, and to be on top at all costs.

This is probably one of the top ten best videos you've done. Really loved it. Keep it up.

Thank you! Just what I needed to hear. There are so many people in the world who do such terrible things, but I want to have hope for humanity. And I do.

A genuinely great creator. You deserve to reach 1 million subscribers.

When u get scared at night from like a ghost or some shit it’s ptsd from all the shit no other animal would be able to comprehend

"Only man will inflict suffering for the sake of suffering. That is the best definition of evil i have been able to formulate." - Jordan Peterson in 12 Rules for Life

Evil exists. It's a word we use to describe an action which is profoundly immoral, or the person who performs said action. We are all capable of committing profoundly immoral acts (see Stanley Milgram experiments), if we feel morally distant from the action, for example.

Such an enlightened Person. Love this channel and this man. Your videos have really helped me out appreciate it so much.

Really LOVED what you had to say, Thank you so much for sharing... (Peace -n- Love)

There is literally no one on RU-vid that can explain subjects like this as clear/ no bullshit as you do. You da man 👊

Exactly good and evil is words that we all have different opinions on and judge differently, but we still have our own concept for it

Great video man. The background is looking fab too

The explanations helped me to value my lows and darkened times in hopes of seeing new highs and enlightened times

you speak the realist shit. I think of all these things every single day , you seem like the only person I could have a good conversation with.

"The line between good and evil does not run through counties, religions or creeds, but through every human heart"-Russell Brand. One of my favourite quotes, because it's true!

Just a thought: "High energy state" means being excited or positive-minded and "low energy state" means being exhausted or unstable. In the first case you are able to give (!) ... and when you feel tired you need to take (!) something like food, information, other resourses, etc. ... And what really means "to take time for ..." or "to win in social game" in this case? Maybe... I mean definately it (taking something) can(!) be even better than giving the same thing while being excited. For everyone and for making sense.

♡ ur amazing . i love the fact that theres not too much dislikes and complaints here!

I love your free spirit!

And this kind of money system has always bothered me. It provokes low vibrations in people and make individuals' life much harder.

Adam, you speak so much sense dude. Your video's really help me through tough times in my life

Darkness is just the absence of light. I think people generally have good intentions but they do bad things when they feel like they're missing something

To transcend this dimension you have to look at life "in the way it is" and not seperating everything. it just is

One other thing, I have always believed that the "soul" is merely pure electricity, that we are pure energy when we die... I also believe that it's true that energy cannot "die" yet is merely "transformed"...

I always hear that without darkness, there would be no light. But wouldn't it make more sense to say this: "Without darkness, there would only be light"

I would say it's say it's easy to identify a low or high energy act by simply looking if something is done from positive or negative intentions: Negative - separative; fear, judgment, seeing other as 'less than', not belonging Positive- Integrative; oneness, love, care, compassion, unity

just subbed, looking forward to some more quality content :) ive seen every video on both channels, and loved/agreed with them all 100%. Keep it real Adam

That plot twist got me 😂 awesome video as always 😊

I like that you have a chill vibe, but you're still not blindly optimistic keep it up

Amazing speaker. Your videos are helping me a lot in my life right now. All of them.

Bro I've been following your channel since a year,but true evil exists you've never heard of nirbhaya rape case ,the case was enough brutal to give you chills down your spine .but I agree how you justified that good and evil are subjective ,but it can be judgemented from a different person's perspective

thumbs up for that Alan watts reference with crest& troghs

This is a very philosophical topic! Your videos are great.
