Watch the thinker, and all will be revealed? Does his stuff actually bring anyone to self realization? Given that he became enlightened without this technique, does he believe this is the guidance to share with others?

PS I'm not disagreeing with him either, but honestly curious if "reading about it" helps anyone

Does "reading about it" help anyone?

I have listened to him on YouTube a bit.
I think it is like many other things. If something seems like it could be considered, practiced or used,
then walk with it and see if it has value after walking with it.
If you don't value it, put it with those things you don't value.

I do Love the Now.
I do like the fact that he laughs (which is medicine) even if he's laughing all the way to the bank.
I also believe many people that live in their past and future thoughts/stories could benefit from his teachings of prioritizing
the present moment as our true place in existence and become open to the flow of this moment, since it is life.
And many others teach similar things.

If we Divinely Love now forever, what a ride that would BE.
