Spiritual population of the Shroomery, what do you think of this video?

as an ultimate culture clash, I dropped a pizza's worth of ad money on Facebook to expose residents of English speaking African countries to this rather peculiar spiritual message that is not quite what's taught in church and mosque and not quite whats handed down in native lore.
Surprisingly, its doing rather well.
My Spirit Guide put me up to making the video, uploading copies here and there and in this case, to spread it to the heart of Africa.
Culture shock galore, still its received rather well.

How does this affect you? Belief or disbelieve, its a lot of stuff you might have heard before, but out in the boondocks, that is different.
Please give me your opinion.

Love it!
The concepts are tricky... I feel like people tend to think of karma as this strange system of crime/punishment, good deed/reward, run by some mysterious force outside of us. But I think we get a better idea of it if we think of it much more simply, like stated early on in the video. Everyone is you. If you hurt someone, you just hurt yourself. Literally.
Awesome.
I ditched Facebook almost a decade ago though and have no idea how it works, so I'm curious how do you tell how your ad is being received in Africa? I would find it very interesting to see how such things were received in other places as well.

You can advertize for as low as $4, you select your target audience and ret reports on how many clicks, how many watched it, numbers of likes and replies, the works.
Its going to reach something like 15,000 people. I think, better value than a pizza for my fat ass

Haha, wow that's amazing! I never would have thought a few bucks could do so much.

Thanks for the effort! I'm not in Africa but I watched it. You've managed to maintain a cosmic optimism that I seem to have lost or let go of. Good for you for maintaining it. Perhaps I'm just getting old and without the scaffolding of any 'belief' or the psychedelic fuel I have not availed myself of for quite some time, my spacecraft has simply gone adrift in space with no destination known. With Socrates I now can only say "All I know is that I know nothing."
