I love how Thomas is one of the original founders of Yes Theory and while he'll totally do a challenge, he's always the most reluctant lmao Great video as usual,had me cracking up!

[@user-rn1lb8sx2c]

I love how dumb this comment is. Thomas has literally been in almost every challenge

[@karlaleiva853]

@@user-rn1lb8sx2c yea but he’s always a little scared, he does face through it but like amar is different, he’s so willing, he’s more out there. I think it’s just different personalities. Thomas is amazing at putting himself out of his comfort zone, which is the point of yes theory. It was kinda rude to be like “tHiS cOmMent iS sTuPid” like no this comment actually makes sense.

[@aquual1462]

I mean it was on the spot. Completely change of plans.

[@syidahainvee7144]

I think the main takeaway here is that it's good that we still have one very reluctant original founder of yestheory still do a challenge he's worried for. Because there are so many of us who are constantly fearing a lot of things but he shows us that we can still practice the yestheory despite it

[@3arthIsGhetto]

@@user-rn1lb8sx2c I definitely didn't say Thomas hadn't participated. Calling my comment 'dumb' is very un Yes Theory fam like of you..,

[@lloyddoyle5700]

I just wanted to say that if you are a person who is genuinely thinking of doing this, be careful. If you have significant trauma in the past or have a family history of me talk illness these types of intense camps can push people into psychotic states. I've just had someone close to me have a psychotic break from something similar to this. Please go ahead and do this if you like but make sure you arrange someone to check on you, go into it with awareness that you CAN leave. Practice meditation and be in a good place emotionally, mentally and stress wise before you go in.

[@avabrynes2206]

I was thinking of this as someone who deals with mild psychosis and derealisation I think that it would be a harmful experience for my mind

[@mender722]

It's definitely not for everyone. Of all the people I have talked to about D.R.s, I have only found one person who might want to do it. I have encountered several thresholds and sought to push past them just to see what's next. I plan on going dark in a couple months. That will be D.R. number 5. I also do it while fasting. My desire is to talk with someone who has gone dark to see how their experience is the same or different from mine.

[@eliassanchez420wakenbake]

Soft lol. Try swimming in dark waters

[@felautumn9534]

You think it's beyond you because you fear the unknown. It's not darkness forever, your mind ends up filling up that space. After a day, that trapped feeling leaves and you feel more free than when you entered, when you finish.

[@mrbigw100]

I just say I’m the scariest thing in the dark

[@Junekiri_rai]

Going blind is my biggest fear too! To suddenly not be able to see the world one day terrifies me to my core.

[@starsdaisuki]

I love that Ammar convinced Thomas to try this!

[@shellystrank6633]

I went to a spiritul development class years ago and they asked this question "If you were in a dark room by yourself how would you feel?" Well they told us after that how you feel about being alone in a dark room is an indicator on how you feel about "crossing over" to the other side. My answer was peaceful and content :) There is wisdom in being in solitude in the dark by yourself. Love Thomas reaction :)

[@HappyGnoux]

Also realizing that Ammar, you manage to let go of the human habit of "waiting for the next moment to come" after 5 days, but in one day, Thomas, you still couldn't and kept waiting for someone to come, or waiting for the next thing/the end of the experience. So in 24h it seems harder to go into a "total surrender to the present moment" like Eckhart Tolle would call it. I wonder how I would feel like. I've had periods of my life where I was meditating several hours straight everyday and after a while, weird things started happening to me as a results^^ So I kind of know what it's like to fully surrender, but In the dark with still the moment where someone comes to give you food that is kind of giving you an idea of the passing time...i don't know how I would react after 5 full days. Thank you so much for those videos. It makes me want to meditated more once again =) Love you guys!

[@jamesjensengrace]

What an experience, I hope we get some of the insight when you were in the room, Thomas! Thanks for sharing this experience!

[@Miss.Pennyfeather]

Would have loved to see Thomas' reaction inside the room too

[@radhikaa1728]

being in the dark is one of my biggest discomfort

[@catshez]

These videos have been so interesting and insightful. Something that struck me was that Ammar knew he was spending 4 nights in the dark, therefore he settled, battled ,and came to the Absolute conclusion that Light and Shadow are part of the same experience... Yet Thomas, knowing he was only in there for 24 hours spent most of his time in 'waiting to get out' ! How apt are both of these experiences for us in life? Sometimes in the moment, sometimes waiting to get out.. The Human brain is incredible.. our thoughts create our reality, we seem to be always expecting the next thing, yet All there is , in Now.. A wise person told me Now Here , is nowhere Great experiences you guys, I am in a darkness of sorts right now, and came to the same conclusions.. The shadow only exists because there is something in the path of the light.. in our case, it is ourselves. Both exist. For the scientists out there that should make sense too.. Duality and perception. Wow, really loved this, thank you 🌈 Love you all ❤

Praying/Salah in the dark is one of the most serene, holy and focused experience ever. Though Im sure it wasnt pitch black like the video seems

[@AndrewAshbaugh]

My guy was trying to eat a sandwich like it was soup, I'm pretty sure it was dark enough xD!

[@justone4272]

It is pretty dark trust me, the inferade camera only shines a "light" so it can record.

[@TheEuantf]

Mate the whole point is that there is absolute darkness (it’s built into the ground so no light can get it and the door has a seal so no cracks of light. The point is that it’s pitch black and the guy who runs the place ensures it is! That’s his job.

[@dopernautzofficial1504]

lol I would do this but I spent 3 months in solitary confinement in jail when I was 18. For first, being in jail for a juvenile cannabis charge from when I was 17 and then getting caught smoking weed while in the jail with other inmates. They put me in a 4x4 room for 90 days. No books, window, or nothing. Just food 3 times a day. In a concrete block. I spent 7 months total in county jail for being out past curfew with a cannabis grinder in Mississippi months before turning 18.

Can't wait to see this. I think personally that peoples should all try to be in silence and darkness at least once a month for only 24 hours, it would change a lot in a persons, even by just doing it at home, possibly in the bedroom. alone without distractions, totally dark and silence and BOOM you are in an other space of your mind... 😁😁

[@MaybeSomeone7483]

I also started seeking discomfort in my work, like getting out of my comfort zone by studying the subject i hate, by doing crazy challenges like not sleeping for 3 days, etc... After completing challenges i get a different feeling thanks to you guys for inspiring me....❤️ Edit- New challenge I did was eating Apples each day for 30 days lol

[@peyton.simpson]

ok try doing things that are better for you while also seeking discomfort, not sleeping for three days is too much. For example if your very introverted try pushing yourself to talk to 3 new people a day or something like that, and if your extroverted you could spend an hour a day thinking alone without distractions.
