How Good Can You Tolerate Uncertainty?
#buddhism #stoicism #philosophy
The Joy of Not Knowing. The only constant is change. It's the most basic fact of our human existence. Nothing lasts, nothing stays the same, nothing is as solid as it appears, everything is unstable, temporary. We take it as a given that uncertainty is always bad and, conversely, that certitude is always good. Yet ancient philosophy, as well as a growing body of scientific evidence, suggests otherwise.

TAOISM: How To Find Inner Peace
zhlédnutí 3KPřed 2 lety
#taoism #buddhism #innerpeace A huge focus of schools of thought such as Buddhism and Taoism is to work with practices that cultivate inner peace. There’s a reason inner peace is ingrained in religious or philosophical wisdom. Its nature is difficult to comprehend with the intellect alone. Attaining inner peace isn’t only an intellectual exercise, but an embodied practice. In this video you wil...
3 Billion Heartbeats: The Generally Under Appreciated State Known As Existence

#life #meaning #philosophy The ingredients for life are simple: energy, organic molecules, and liquid water. An average human life span consists of about 3 billion heartbeats. If all you get are those 3 billion heartbeats, then what happens here-to your life, to the people you know, and to the world you can affect-matters.

TAOISM: What If Ordinary Is Okay?

#taoism #philosophy #meaning Why is there something rather than nothing? What is our place in the world? What is our future? What is our purpose?

In the Eastern philosophical tradition, there’s yet an...
LANGUISHING: Perfect Amount Of Aweful
zhlédnutí 389Před 2 lety
#languishing #solitude #2021 Our perception of reality is shaped by language. Psychologists find that one of the best strategies for managing emotions is to name them. We think of mental health as a spectrum from depression to flourishing. Flourishing is the peak of well-being, where you have a strong sense of meaning, master and mattering. Depression is the valley of ill-being in which you fee...
CONSUMING CONTENT BECAUSE I’M SILENCE-INTOLERANT

#addiction #solitude #socialmedia It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when I became silence-intolerant. Almost the moment I wake up in the morning, the omnipresent voice kicks in. Like a DVD voiceover commentary, it interprets everything I see. It’s forever analysing, judging and comparing. When I have a problem it’ll constantly ruminate on that problem. “This is terrible. What’s going to happen? Wha...

#life #experience #philosphy For as long as I can think, I would consider myself a “silent adventurer”, having dozens of things on my bucket list. But if we’re honest, most bucket lists get covered with weeds of mind-numbing routines and false priorities. As humans we are a habitual species. What we do day in, and day out becomes like an automatic program, because our mind and body likes to fin...

IKIGAI: The Japanese Art of How to Find Purpose In Life

#ikigai #purpose #japanesephilosophy The Japanese approach to ikigai is different from that in the West; in particular, Japanese people don’t have a formal definition for the word, and it is a normal, embedded practice in their daily lives. The desire for what the Japanese call ikigai is a universal human experience. The beauty of ikigai is that it’s a spectrum, a rainbow if you like, you can h...

Wu Wei: How To Align With The Tao And Go With The Flow

#taoism #buddhism #philosophy The ancient Chinese philosophy of Taoism emphasises living in harmony with the Tao, which means way in translation. This is known as ‘Wu Wei’ and it is the alignment with the rhythms of the elements both within and outside of our bodies. It is a kind of ebb and flow, an effortless surrender to the natural cycles of the world. The origins of the Taoist understanding...

PETER GADIOT REPOSTED ON HIS INSTAGRAM STORY🔥✨
E daí kkkk
I came from his story too
Im here because of peter gadiot
Wow what a wonderful video. Thanks to Peter Gadiot for sharing and bringing me here :) Thank you to the creator! These Japanese words/concepts resonate so deeply with me. I really want to learn more about the culture. If anyone has any books to recommend please do! 🙏
A beautiful dialogue with the God within you
Excellent!
Incredible content. You have a uniquely relatable and comforting tone. It feels like you're explaining just to me.
Felt so peaceful. Best video
Wow so many truth, thank you 🙏
Such an underrated channel. You deserve x100 the subscribers you have.
Wu wei take a step further than stoic , stoic still control what can control , wu wei 100% let go
A beautiful and thoughtful video. Thank you. Please can you give me some details of the Japanese painter you mentioned?

Is CZcams trying to tell me something?
To take a shower maybe
Good video.
This is such a gem ❤ thank you for sharing your gift.
Very nice voice and an engaging narrator
Life is ideal.
Wow. Thank you. Such good content. Your speech is enjoyable to listen too also. So crisp. Not pushy. Engaging.
Great video 👍🏽
It's such an underrated channel. Hopefully new videos come soon.
Spent my youth in really bad health - so my life story is far from what I would idealize. Making your dreams happen won't make you happy anyways but relaxing in the chaos will
🙏
This video is an artistic masterpiece! Well done! Production quality that puts other youtube channels to shame!
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my CZcams channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 451 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Your opening verse.😭😭😭
I'm in awe of the production quality of your videos! You are the Martin Scorsese of Taoist videos! This is so well done I can't understand why it doesn't have more views.
Your videos are amazing
Wow. Fantastic
Your videos are amazing. Awesome work
Thanks. Now Im interested on reading Rumi.❤
Very good thank you ✨🕯💕
Very good explanation! Excellent video! Keep doing good job.
Amazing
great video thank you! A perhaps helpful tip from the perspective of the listener..I think you could slow down the pace a bit of narration. Some longer pauses after sentences allows for what you read to sink in. These are big truths and concepts, so they deserve a moment to absorb, I think. Love the image and content...hope the tip is helpful. Peace
love this 💜
Your videos are wonderful. I hope some day you come back and create more. :) And if not, that's OK too. I hope you're happy and doing well!
Without uncertainty we can never learn anything new.
If you are still alive .. please come back whoever you are
Great video, great message
this video changed my life
The most informative and creative videos on the subject of Taoism. Keep up the great work! 👍👍
Balance is key
Thank you for an excellent video which very thoughtfully explained this principle. I thoroughly enjoyed watching.
7:17 fun fact: you switched up the meanings of Yin and Yang. Xiran Jay Zhao pointed it out in their video on Mulan 2. In our western minds we associate white with softness and femininity while black is seen as hard and masculine. But in the eastern cultures it's the other way around, making Mulan and Shang destroy gender norms by accident
With respect, please read a biography of Jiddu Krishnamurti, the Brahman boy anointed as the "Messiah" of the Theosophists. He renounced his calling and was educated as an English gentleman by his adoptive patron, Annie Besant. Highly recommended is "Madame Blavatsky's Baboon: A History of the Mystics, Mediums, and Misfits Who Brought Spiritualism to America" by Peter Washington. Krishnamurti was a hypocrite who had a long-lasting affair with his sister-in-law. There's no need for the quotation from him in the video. The rest of the video is fine as it is. Although, it's possible to ask: How does one empty the mind? Even in dreams we have images. We are not conscious only when under anesthesia. No one can stop a thought - just try to deliberately not think of something. A better counsel might be to let thoughts, images, and feelings come and go, without judgment. Being receptive to current experience means not being in the grip of particular mental/emotional patterns. There is no emptiness in an absolute sense - even the cosmic vacuum, according to physicists, is full of virtual particles, which come into and go out of existence. That's a good metaphor for the empty plenum of Taoism - fullness which is also emptiness, which has the potential to generate a stream of beings and events.
