My brother has had a couple near death experiences. He claims he was told he was medically dead. He says he saw and experienced nothing. He's completely convinced he now knows what's after death and it's just nothing at all.

I on the other hand, have done 5-MeO-DMT multiple times and have a very different view. 5-MeO is like a simulation of death, where there is no more "you, " there's just infinite, timeless space.

This may sound similar but it's not. My brother thinks there's nothing at all, I think there's

You made it to the end! Good talk. I liked very much the miracle depiction and the urgency data that hit home.🙏🏽

Thanks a lot for your hard work and effort.. it’s of great benefit to all of us. I have 2 requests, if possible

1. Kindly provide a transcript of these presentations or the power point slides. It will be useful since it will give us more time to absorb the points in depth, when used along with your lecture.

2. Kindly make a epub version of your meditation book, may be at a later date when it’s possible for you. It will make reading in small screens/eink readers easier.

V v good Dr Florian...you have structured things you have been taking about exceptionally well. These can become a good book.

I've watched this several times, along with some of your older videos for context. I keep getting stuck ~ 27:00. You often say that the cultivation of virtue and sense restraint is a prerequisite for uprooting craving. It naturally follows that one can eliminate all of the "surface-level defilements" but will eventually fall from grace. However I can't understand how someone can eliminate the roots and still have "surface-level defilements." Isn't the definition of uprooting that craving will no longer arise?

Thank you again for the lectures🙏I have a question about an answer to a comment below regarding seclusion. You stated: 'That there is a right time and place for seclusion. The Buddha only really recommended it after the attainment of the Right View'. Nyanamoli Thero of HH in a recent talk said that seeing the signs of the mind (citta-nimitta) was a crucial to obtain Right View and to do so required seclusion. I only ask to clarify. Many thanks.

Thank you for this. Can you share the source where it is said that monks "gather according to their elements" please?

DR Florian I am attaching this comment to this video in the hope that you will see it since you just released this video. Your play list for this lecture series is out of order. The introductionary video is appearing in the fourth spot or currently the last spot out of the currently released four videos. Hope you see this comment so others who are not familiar with your work can understand better what you are aiming at. 🙏

The presentation says loneliness kills as much as tobacco, yet the buddha recommends seclusion. What do you think?
