A guy with some potentially interesting things to say.

I'm not sure if Benjamin Smythe is the sanest crazy guy I've ever seen ..... or the craziest sane guy ...... but he's ..... unusual .... seemingly quite sincere ...... and unusual .......... and none of that would get me to post links to his videos (have I mentioned he's a bit unusual? ).

What did get me to post links to his videos?

The consisently true things he says.

That's still a very rare thing - and thus, very important.



See for yourself ......

Thanks for this thread. I've watched a few of his videos now and I like what he has to say.

You're quite welcome - he's (Benjamin Smythe) a friend of mine on Facebook, now - cool guy, very free-form with the awareness thing, in a way that a lot of people seem to like.

"Awareness - it's like it's everywhere!"



Here's another recent gem from Benjamin:

This dude ("Smythe, Benjamin") is GOOD.

A bit full-goose bozo, perhaps .... but GOOD just the same:

You may have heard of sahaja - spontaneity ---- this, my friends, it IT.

Plus, he gets it, and he says it ....... which is always nice.

Oh, MAN.



This guy ...........

"$5 The Cost of Laughing

$7 The Cost of Commenting

$8 The Cost of Video-Sharing

$35 Ben Smythe Coffee Table Book"

(Quote - Unquote .... watch the video to see what I mean.)

Ben Smythe himself ----PRICELESS





PS- If anyone is offended at the frequent and creative use of profanity, best not to watch; if, however, you can manage to table your offense in deference to humor and genuine insight - Watch; it's hilarious, insightful and real.

Another good one from Mr. Smythe ....

"The dog is as aware as the guru .... awareness is aware ...."
~Benjamin Smythe

Some good insight on personality, desire and awareness dynamics.

Video: The Dog Is As Aware As The Guru.

Wholeheartedly,

Kirtanman

PS- Per Ben's use of Awareness throughout the video ..... Awareness is literally a single field; consciousness spans a spectrum .. hence Ben's statements that everything with any semblance of awareness is equally aware; awareness is the single light of the sun; consciousness and manifestation are the colors of the rainbow.
