Your interview skill Curt and ability to genuinely listen and digest what they is great. I cringe when I hear podcaster just cut people off and not let people finish completely. Keep it up man, nothing but praise.

[kierangardner]

You’ve slowly become my go-to podcaster for discussions on my followed topics. Appreciate everything you do sir 👍

[ljohnson]

I really enjoy being a patron. I give modestly but it makes me feel good to do so. It’s a fraction compared to the value of what I learn here. How extraordinary that we can now hear the voices and ideas of the most brilliant people in the world. Astonishing!! This was not around most of my life and Is what TOE brings us. How fun to be a small part of it. I’m grateful.

[philward]

Curt, I have been in dark places and experienced dissociation as well, having a deep-thinking mind like yourself. It's easy to become overwhelmed by existential thinking and I found what you said about doubting your own doubts really hit home. I've found that you can work through your own thoughts and find the "higher truth" to them. It's truly the Dark Night of The Soul. I believe true spiritual development involves the "working out" of these truths which leads to insight, but also, even greater questions. It's mysterious AND knowable all the way through. A wise mind embraces the paradox. The more you know, the less you Know.

[aparnasbose]

Curt, I have never watched hour long videos on YouTube except the ones on your channel. You are doing great. As someone, who has been down with a psychological problem myself, I have been there or I am there too on the comparison with others. But I have been trusting on the process which has turned out so unexpectedly and I am learning so much about myself. I believe that you are also on the right path (even with downs) and you will also look back at this phase later and see how much you have changed for the best. This too shall pass. Sending you virtual hugs and love to your amazing wife!

[Daniel]

Good to hear from you. Your mind is still great.

[TheTempleman]

Thanks for your response to my question at 25:38. To be honest my friend I was very much like you at one time, incessantly thinking, trying to uncover all mysterious and getting to the bottom of understanding of everything. I was like that for a good 15 years, tons and tons of listening to podcasts, reading and thinking, then one day I just sincerely examined what all this seeking has served to me and I realized I was just running in a treadmill for the most part, there was no place to get to, as a human, I don’t need a book or a manual to operate or how to experience the universe.

I used to seek to seek, as long as I was seeking I was good, there was no outcome insight, there never was, I think I was just staving off boredom or an overactive mind, maybe in some sense I was increasing my value to myself and to the world and increasing my survivability, I don’t know. Now I just pick something up here and there and read it but it’s no longer important. I used to feel I NEED to figure all this out, and I wouldn’t feel right until I did, but I think I may have found something very valuable out through this endeavour and that is that all this reading and I’m taking information is not where to look to find all that you ever need to know.


At the end of the day, your direct experience is all you’ll ever know.

Again thanks for your response, I wanted to add a little more context here in the comment section.

Keep doing what you gotta do man, that’s all you can do, and one last thing, could you get David Deutch on the show?!

-Mike

[noirtesseract]

Thank you for your great podcast. And for you covering UFO/UAP your lack of knowing the subject has been wonderful. Cause the questions you ask are not tainted but are in an absolute honest truth. That shows your vicious hunger in that and all things. You have a force in you and it’s informative. So please continue.

[TheBigLeeg]

Jaimungal is developing his unique interviewing skills at a rapid clip. I’m super excited to see the continued progress of his process. His style is captivating, grounded, and succinct. I love it!!

[muhskilled]

This whole "TOE Project" is one the current State-Of-The-Art-Pocasts along with only a handful well-known like-minded individuals, most of us are probably already aware of !

But what really sticks out for me - and obviously for most of us who come to stumble upon a video of Curt - and what makes the TOE such a unique & highend-y experience, is the mastermind behind/infront of the screen: Curt Jaimungal !

Let me give a quick disclaimer beforehand: I don't want to engage in a battle for "who-has-the-best-compliment" or any such kind of action,
but I feel the heavy urge to give some serious feedback - a little more elaborate than just 2 sentences.

In order to fulfill this task I want to(must) precisely choose my words, for I am also aware of their power, to create or to destroy. As Curt even in this episode regularly mentions, he takes extreme care when it comes to create his speech: For he wants to be as close to his inner world as possible while still retaining an easy-to-follow train of thought and therefore having the most possible (positive) effect on his audience (and also on himself). This should serve the role of an arrow, pointing towards that specific feature of Curt - which sets himself apart from all the other world-class podcasts.

Hey Curt, let me adress you directly if I may:

Your ability - to not only deal with your own inner kingdom (e.g. thoughts, emotions, trigger points, fears, wishes, ideas, words, abstracts, in a passive-reactive way (more or less blurry observations of emerging thoughts&patterns just right before they materialize ) - but to actively navigate through your own mental (meta) palace(s) is so far advanced, that it creates not only a lot of context that is easy to follow, you transform your presentation from linguistic abstractions, to an almost tangible "Holographic-Meta-Palace" that is not any longer made of words, sentences, ideas and conclusions but of a plasma-like substance that imposes a dense field of shared consciousness on all of us.

We have no chance but to be taken away effortlessly by your (almost literate) train-of-thought. The amount of information on multiple layers, the speed, precision and ease with which you guide your audience through these halls is simply astonishing and shows us time after time again, that what is possible if one mind is trained. It is of such power that it supplies each of us with more than enough, so we "mindmap" together in a co-creative fashion.
For at the end of each journey there is much more of everything (positive). Not only did we learn some new "dead facts" and "scientific ideas" but we feel re-charged, spiritually and mentally enriched, full of inspiration, while being at a deep peace with oneself.
For when taken into the innerselfs of other people, this opens us up to possible new ways of interacting with our own mind. It is the perfect way to not only show what can be done but also why one should constantly do the inner work. This means, not FAST but STEADY is the way to go. Re-mind yourself and others, for we all suffer such a terrible thirst for these experiences. There is still a long way to go, without real certainty of reaching the end without heavy casualties let alone getting out alive and somewhat still functionable as a society...

So, thank you for radically fighting the good fight, for investing all the time and energy in your projects for they make it more than obvious e.g. "what your mission in life is", as one asked you. if you watch and listen carefully the very essence of his spirit reveals itself freely. Once you see & feel, it drips off of every word, seeps through each sentence and spurts out between each careful thought.

FOR WE WILL WIN IN THE END !

All the best from Germany, Keep on keeping on :-)

[jnullfb]

Fantastic statement about having an open heart before an open mind Curt! There’s so much content and information available nowadays that it’s easy to feel lost at times. Let your heart be your guide!
Thanks for all your efforts Curt, stay well.

[glenn-younger]

I don't remember which section this was, but it struck me. You were describing how you weren't sure what you were doing with the TOE channel, but it's like filmmakers way back who were doing shorter story sequences not knowing that what they were really doing was creating for television before television was invented. So you're creating blindly by following your curiosity and intuition in a format that isn't quite defined, yet. That could also be applied to those who are learning about their own consciousness: they follow their curiosity and intuition before the container for the process has yet been recognized or 'discovered' or created. Thank you, once again, for your open sharing, Curt. You are a jewel. Your sharing is precious. And your wife? Well, she is a human saint if she is willing to pee in a cup while waiting for you to finish with us. Please tell her I am grateful and slightly in awe of her.

[JordanMcKee]

I grew up having a deep meditative background, grew up near skin walker ranch, and did many CE5/ consciousness research sessions. To me consciousness studies are primal to all other matters. It is a proponent of study that almost completely lacks a true study and it is one I cannot stop doing due to the incredible results and unbelievable effects of partaking into the "study" of consciousness and how our surroundings respond to that stimulus. I love your channel thank you!

[BabyBobRossJalapeno]

I love these personal conversations, Curt. Thanks for being a down to earth person, especially for someone so freaking talented and brilliant. -KB

[deborahcoyle]

Your podcast is always interesting and thought provoking. Thank you for what you do, Curt.

[pg]

I like the fact that you bring people that speak about the UFOs /UAP phenomenon. Other subjects are also very interesting but my bias is towards finding the truth about the potential that we are being contacted by a more intelligent species that may not be human.

[ryanjbuchanan]

Wow, this guy knows what he's talking about! We should definitely see him on the show again at some point

[ToriKo_]

2:00:00 “the world is a... at least, well the more one investigates it, the world is a place of paradoxical complexity... and the familiar is an abboration. And so I don’t hold the view that ill-defined and esoteric topics should be viewed upon/explored with scorn or derision. And it took me years and years to realize that my ‘criticism’ that I thought was dispassionate and purely from a rational perspective was from a place of arrogance.”

I also really appreciate you answering my “violently shaken beliefs” question at 35:26, and I really appreciate that you answered it so genuinely and compassionately

[asdfjklo]

Wishing you the best for your health, Curt. Take care of yourself.

[ApacheMagic]

Open heart comes first! You are becoming even more quotable!
