"the myth of mental illness and the manufacture of madness" damn Emerson that is deep. I respect your pretentious art student aura (for lack of better term)

I'm the latest of the late but I can't believe Emerson Barrett invented art wow

This is the most beautiful thing I've seen. Emerson has such an amazing mind. It amazes me how he creates all of this out of nothingness. By far my favorite thing I've seen

I don't know what this was supposed to make me feel but I felt a heck of alot of stuff and I think I'm broken.

Honestly, at first I was like 'aw, look at Emerson's cute doodles' but then the longer I looked at it, the more beautiful it got. I got so lost in the world Emerson has created, his work is just stunning

my favorite quote was "In Death we trust: Love the Void" it creates a sense of abandonment for me. From the problems of life. Life and Death have the most beautiful relationship where Life gives Death hundreds of treasures and in the end Death keeps them all, giving Life a reason and ability to create more. I wish the people around me could open their eyes to such beauty and stop fearing death and stop prolonging everything because in the end, when things die, they give way for new life

The way this art was made out of nothingness, and the way of the style, completely changed my perception on not only art, but the way life really is. Great job, Emerson. I really enjoyed this. :D

It's amazing to see how he is reflected in his art. If I had the time I would sit and read every single thing on that wall to see just how his mind works.

Emerson, you have such a beautiful, unique and talented mind. This is mind blowing and the most fascinating and beautiful thing I've ever seen, all of your art and even words are beyond wonderful and hold the most beautiful connection and expression 🖤 I love you always

i find this stunning, brilliant. no one will understand how they changed my style and the way i see art. i love you guys.

i clicked on this and was immediately stoked on it!! i love alan watts. i know this speech by heart. i love emerson. i love emerson's art. i love this video.

"The most real state is the state of nothingness" I don't know why, but I find that beautiful.

This brought me to tears. The best tears I have ever cried.

Emerson... Without knowing you I imagined you were an incredible person. I still don't know you, but by the way you create art I'm sure you're not only an artist, but also a great human. I wish some day I could have the pleasure to meet you.

Omfg....now I really really really want to see it in person omfg emerson that was amazing love yur drawing 😘😍😍

the most beautiful things about this is it's the reflection of his thoughts

A creative person's mind is a beautiful thing to see, and to be able to view something so beautiful as well as powerful is an honor. Thank you, Emerson, for allowing us to see true art and re-think things; while also allowing us to see positivity when it seems like we are in a world of darkness and hate.

I love this so much and honestly i cried from how beautiful it is. I love you Em you are so talented and gifted. Please come do this to my walls. ❤️

I am convinced that this beautiful mind and art comes from getting high and experiencing ego death, all it fits perfectly, the nothingness and the void..its so interesting to think about, I could watch whatever comes out of emersons mind all day

Alan Watts over this only makes it so much more meaningful I love his talks and Ems art 👌🏻

Emerson I just wanted to say thank you. I watch this whenever my emotions get to strong and I can’t sleep. I watch this when things feel heavy. Your artwork makes me feel safe and okay. Thank you for creating art. ❤️

Yes I'm late but this video made me feel so many different things all at once, his artwork is absolutely amazing and I appreciate it so much, I ended up crying just from watching this video it's so inspiring to me

I cried watching this. Its so beautiful. 💖

A powerful message with a truthful meaning, put to beautiful art.

I find such peace in knowing that I'm not the only one viewing art, the world, reality, love and freedom the way I do, here's the proof that at least one other person feels like I do, so thank you Emerson for sharing your world with us.

Emerson is so talented I cry about it

Wow, I'm speechless. I don't know what to say. I love this so much. It makes you really think. Emerson, you're art is extraordinary.

I'm crying. This isn't even sad, so much as powerful and beautiful. Tears are soaking my face and I can't even comprehend why.

No matter how many times I watch this I will always be amazed

This art showcase is always so calming to listen too, even if you’re not necessarily watching the screen. I love it

i-i feel this on a deeper level than i imagined

At first, I didn’t understand it; the art, the mans words, the serene yet unsettling nature- it just didn’t click for me. The second time listening, I put my phone screen towards my bed, my room now void. I stared up at it, listening to every word. I wanted to cry, truthfully. The idea just settles with me just the right way. I’ve been on the verge of nothing. I never thought that someone could explain this philosophy I’d been l toying with in my head so beautifully, a way I couldn’t understand at first. Thank you, Emerson. I know I’m very late but I’m glad you’ve let us into this extremely amazing and beautiful world.

This is absolutely beautiful. Amazing job Emerson (I'm super late oops)

I understand that all that on the walls are your ideas..pain..thoughts and feelings and it’s amazing, it’s great how you could turn all that into something to reflect on and to release everything

It made me cry but not in a bad way

That means REAL ART!!!

I have such an appreciation for Emerson

im in tears, emerson is so damn Amazing

This man right here is tied at first place for favorite artist with Gerard Way

Okay so I really love this podcast by Alan Watts and he is literally the only reason I have the podcast app on my phone and now that it’s put up to Emerson’s art I am absolutely in Love even more than I was before with these kind of things.

I love Alan Watts! He's one of my biggest inspirations in how to live life! Emerson is so talented & one of my favourite people! He seems so down to earth & so creative!

It’s almost 3am and this is just what i needed

Emerson, this is so touching. You're great and so very expressive. Keep it up, buddy. ❤️

Am i the only one that feels both incredibly stressed and incredibly calmed by this video at the exact same time? Im very conflicted but i also loved everything about it.

"god took lsd and thoght he was me" - brilliant

I think art, in any way, shape or form, is the key to a person's soul, and how their mind works. If the artist has put a piece of their soul into their work, you can tell - like Emerson did here. If you went in there and read everything, then you would know a part of him that he may not have expressed at any other time, and that's what makes every artist unique.

This is amazing. I’m kinda crying because it’s full of truthfulness In feeling. Realizing that everything written wasn’t just a creative thought but an expression... ❤️❤️❤️🙂

I really liked this so much. All of it is so amazing! It's beautiful! Wonderful!

Suddenly Love The Void has a new meaning

Emerson has such a beautiful and unique mind. I'm so unbelievably proud of hour far he has come. I'm in tears listening to this. So so so proud🖤🖤🖤

I love the way Emerson’s mind works, and the beautiful art it helps him create.

I love this video it makes me believe I'm not alone in this world that I'm not the only person that turns all my dark and terrifying thoughts into art drawing helps me cope with life and depression and Emerson's art is a true inspiration

Emerson is so creative, yet adorable and shy yet I love him so much 💜💜💜

this is so beautiful. I can't.

im a simple woman i see emerson and i klick on it

Simply put, truly amazing...🖤

He truly amazes me in every way...his talent...his art...his words...his voice.. everything I find.. absolutely amazing...I'm really proud to call him my idol

From my worlds favorite mind. The mind of emerson barrett. The person who taught me to love myself. The person who taught me to love myself and believe i could do anything and that my mind is not a curse but a gift. Thank you emerson for having the worlds greatest mind.

Emerson you have a brilliant and beautiful mind

i.... i'm speechless

This is so beautiful. I love Emerson I love his art and I love this speech it's amazing❤️❤️

This is absolutely wonderful

Emerson has such a beautiful, never ending mind. And a soul that is one of a kind. I look up to him. I aspire to be so thoughtful and questioning like he is and I want to know the things he knows. I’d love to talk to him some day if I ever get the chance and tell him this in person.

Emerson's idiosyncrasy never ceases to amaze and fascinate me

I am crying it's so beautiful Em😍

I feel like this room would have the most incredible energy

I just got a tattoo of the quote "the myth of mental illness and the manufacture of madness"

this is absolutely gorgeous ♥️

What caught my eye was the words 'The war is over'.

Awesome !!!! What a fantastic world 🤩🤩🤩

I love Emerson's beautiful, artistic soul so much.

love him always

It's so amazing. When I look at it, feel so much of it. So much of it is heart felt. Again, it's so amazing.

All his art is gorgeous and absolutely amazing. It's so interesting what the human mind can do. Emerson's mind is beautiful

I love Emersons work, I love the detail and it's a bunch of different things. It's actually kind of inspiring. It shows that sure it took forever but he was committed to finishing it, witch is amazing.

This is beautiful

I hear Sadhguru's voice 💓 Emerson you are truly a rare and unique Soul 💫 Your thinking is so deep and brings light to my soul and makes me remind me who I realy am 🔥Love you .....

Just to think what was going on in his mind to create this is heartbreaking. Talking about depression as The Void and speaking of it as some sort of acid trip really makes you think about it.

Love it! This is really beautiful!

That looks amazing! I love emersons art work and just how he lives he's life as if he is in some other world, never stop emerson 😊

He's so amazing! The best artist I've ever seen.

EMERSON IS MY MUSE

I cried

Welp I just watched three life changing minutes of pure beauty. Honestly this was so incredible

This is utterly amazing. I honestly have no words for how beautiful this is

this somehow felt like the most vulnerable and exposed part of emerson. i’m willing to bet that every little scratch and etch in that room represents a little piece of him. what i wouldn’t give to spend a few moments there and take it all in. he’s absolutely amazing, i wish i could know him

I love this so much oh my god.

This is just truly beautiful and amazing. This had to take months! Emerson you are a true artist and you're just amazing!!

The talent right here is phenomenal

Speechless 😧😶

It’s beautiful

I'm crying this is so beautiful x

alan watts voice is kinda calming 😳😂

felt so many things i can't even put into words. but what if i watched this high

In 3:41 you can see the bmth sign

Amazing

Impressed at how much I agreed with all of this! Never thought I would agree with anything Emerson posted about. No offense sweets! 😉

Such a beautiful soul

So amazing

this was beautiful
