very interesting fellow. quite a thinker.
what a perspective. Is it a contradiction to take influence from somebody who says think for yourself?

the name Vivek is only one letter differentiated from a fictional god in the immensely popular computer game Morrowind (the god's name was Vivec).
Coincidence, or not?

LOL, around the twenty minute mark...
kid #1 - "We totally know what you're saying, we already know we're Gods. You're teaching us so much, but we come from the same place, because we already know we're gods."
kid #2 - "yea and us three, we're the main gods, cause we thought of it!"
vivek - "no no no you've got it all wrong"
this guy is awesome btw. I've been reading a lot of Buddhist cosmology, but haven't heard it spoken quite so eloquently by a white american homeless man. Its cool to hear this stuff coming from someone other than the dalai lama, you know? very cool stuff, thanks for the link.

He's white?
To me, it doesn't really matter that he's a bum. Any human speaking straight truth like that would get props from me. What a badass.

I don't think so. He looked completely sincere and correct when he said he didn't know anything.

He doesn't appear to be full of himself at all.
He seems like a smart guy and I definitly agree with him. I was allready familiar with most everything he talks about and there's certain degree of humbleness he exudes that makes him very genuine.
All in all nothing groundbreaking if you allready knew that stuff, but it's good to discover more and more people with the light switch turned on above their head.

The city looks like L.A.
bums have GREAT tans, lol.
no way. look at those lips, he's black.
I think it's a wonder how 'centered' he is. It's one thing to feel those things, but to be able to organize the toughts in your head and communicate them that well is huge.
i feel bad for him to reach out to kids who were jokin around. They obviously werent expecting something that profound. And he's right. People of his thinking dont reach out that often. Bad timing for him i guess. At least it's on video.

On another note, I'm quite disgusted with most of the comments and responses left about the video on youtube spare a handfull.
It's like people just don't get it and I sometimes feel guilty not being able to explain to everyone what's really going on here (about this video but also with everything else).
His message was unconditional love. And to be true to yourself because one must realize the FACT that we all only believe what we're told by teachers, gov't, parents, etc because we're told to. About the whole system. It's man-made and therefore can only go as far as the limitations we have created for it. Think for yourselves.
And people brushed him off as mentally ill, a stupid hippy, lunatic, a "rambler" (I guess that's a specific class of certain bums), retarted, and the list goes on.
But I'm sure a community like the shroomery will appreciate this gem.

On one hand, it might have seemed like a bad decision for him to talk to those dumb kids and be video taped, but imagine how many thousands of minds he has affected in the process. I hope he knows his message was delivered in a good way.
It's kind of weird because a lot of those thoughts make me want to think he has lost his mind to a certian extent, but to label him as such would indirectly label me as well. I have had many of those profound thoughts/experiences, and I think about them quite often.
The one thing that intregued me the most were the flashes of light he was refering to. Anyone experience something similar before?
