I was brought up in the Orthodox Christian faith, but abandoned the second course of the university at the age of 18. I never seriously believed the things I had been taught.
00:42
A grammar school pupil announced that there is no God and that all we were taught about him is a mere invention. My elder brothers were interested in this information.
01:11
I remember that when my elder brother, Dimitri, devoted himself to religion, we all ridiculed him and called him Noah. I remember that I sympathized with these jokes and drew the conclusion that one must not take these things too seriously.
02:01
My lapse from faith occurred as usual among people on our level of education, when I lived like everybody else, on the basis of principles, and never had to reckon with religious doctrine.
02:33
The difference between a man who publicly professes orthodoxy and one who denies it is not in favor of the former.
02:44
Orthodox people are dull and cruel, and consider themselves very important. Ability, honesty, reliability, good nature, and moral conduct are more often met among non-believers, and a man may live for 10 or 20 years without once remembering that he is living among Christians.
Yet What're we compared Faith flowing from hearts those who being healed and reliving again not measure up mustard seed...

So happy to be simple and saved by FAITH! Hallelujah 🙂⭐🙏🏼❤

🌻More people You and I have awaken to understand in order to change the world, we need to change ourselves from within; this ancient wisdom has been followed by great teachers of past and present.
🌻Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is indeed a father of great teacher, intelligent AND wise and a teacher of truth. His literatures shine the light to understand the root cause of human self- inflicted suffering and the breakdown of traditional family.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, its nice being able to go over this again while driving or at work.
I always find this book a comfort, its like having someone who has already walked further down the same path tell you that you don't need to be afraid. I can't imagine how long it would of taken to learn these things on my own without his writing.

This is an important book to understand the lifestyle that is promoted in the West today.
The old saying goes: there is nothing new under the sun.
This lifestyle isn't sustainable. It's eating humanity and nature alive. It is called: more or progress, choose your simile.
Thank you for narrating and uploading it. Keep (going) walking.
Perhaps you should listen again because you clearly have missed the point. He looked WITHIN himself for the answers to his questions. He did not point his finger at anyone else. You are asleep.
@@drhyshek
In a small paragraph, you’ve committed several fallacies: Among them are straw man and ad hominem.
Whether you know it or not, in that paragraph you orchestrated an attempt to attack me: to you, I am asleep. This is an ad hominem because it is a personal attack rather than understanding what I’m referring to and the works of Leo Tolstoy, who writes about the moral decadence of the West.
Your comment is also a straw man argument because you don’t understand the point I’ve made in my post, you haven’t listened to the audiobook, or you don’t interpret the content of the book.
Moreover, you say Leo looked within himself, yet you were against my take on the consumer society.
To that end, I have four simple questions for you-if you looked into yourself, would you still write that paragraph? If you look into yourself, will you do what most people in society do? tAnd have you read three or more books by Leo Tolstoy?
No, drhyshek is right. Did we listen to the same book? The only way you can come at whatever vague, dog-whistly conclusions you did from this text is by not having read it or by forcing your own preconceptions on it.
Dude was thinking about this 200 years ago. Genius.
there are other dudes thinking about this even 2000 years ago. see marcus aurelius, seneca..it can be interesting/useful.
Thank you. I would suggest slowing down in future readings. Tolstoy’s most important thoughts toward the end are read so hurriedly that they cannot easily be grasped or absorbed. CZcams makes “rewinding” to re-listen all but impossible. Thanks again though - you are to be praised for your work.
Many thanks for your comment! LibriVox storytellers are volunteers who lend their voices to bring books to life. They come from all walks of life and all corners of the globe. These volunteers read chapters of books in the public domain, and then LibriVox releases the audio files back onto the net. Their goal is to make all public domain books available as free audiobooks.
The readers may not be professional voice actors, but they're passionate about literature and sharing it with the world. As a result, the readings may vary in quality and style, and yes, sometimes there might be mispronounced words or varying accents. But this diversity can also be a part of the charm of LibriVox recordings.
It's important to remember that these readers are volunteers doing their best to contribute to a free resource. Feedback is always welcome, but it's also essential to appreciate these volunteers' effort and time in creating these audiobooks.
What a breath of fresh air; and the narrator did a good job.

back them people interacted with people & experienced things. this generation's experience is so vicariously limited to watching things rather than experiencing or witnessing. we know so little about the lives of people from other professions & other walks of lives.
Thank you for your feedback!
This is exactly what Tolstoy draws into question. He ended up lamenting his old ways, where he was simply watching the world from afar and agreeing with his fellow religious brethren of status. Instead of getting down to earth, and experiencing the world as it truly is in it's raw form. To live in a community that tightly depends on one another, both financially/physically, and emotionally. He discovered that there was not much use in debating the true purpose of life or the world, in an environment that was far removed from truly living. Hopefully this is clear.
You read just fine. Don’t listen to the haters. I’m thankful you’re reading this book for us. I’m on ch 5. I relate to almost all of what he’s saying but I’m hoping He finds Jesus within him soon just I did in my living room 14 years ago.

@@TheRazmotaz Thanks much for your very helpful comment, Still the reader has a strong accent. I wonder if this can be neutralised.
Than you. I appreciate your viice and reading pace.
:) Thank you. I appreciate your voice and reading pace.
Many thanks for your reply! Yes, what you write about (accents, unprofessionalism, sometimes mispronounced words, terms, accents, tempo, intonation, etc.) is present; listeners often write about it in comments, sometimes very harshly or rudely. The performance of the LIBRIVOX storytellers gives the works a unique charm. It creates a special intimacy, or vice versa :(, between the listener and the distant and unknown narrator. It makes us active, does not leave us indifferent, and encourages us to become a listener-fan or critic.
Or to join the thousands of LIBRIVOX storytellers who give posterity and us in sound, the works of writers and their voices, make literature even more vivid and illustrated (the appearance draws not only the image of the person but also their voice).
Some haters in these comments 😂 Narration is just fine

1:41:00 my bookmark
So I’m listening to this heavy subject of meaning of life and how to believe something to be fulfilled enough to continue living and I kept checking Twitter and so on despite the fact that I respect Tolstoy and theoretically should consider this as important as it sounds. So it occurs to me the question ‘maybe what I am thinking about *is* my God?’ And it was a range of things. In fact one sad thing was the feeling of absurd pride at the idea of maybe converting to this belief and having figured it out being superior to various people and this disturbs me a great deal this thought and that I had it. But this means my god remains a competitiveness with others, an insecurity, which is also what Tolstoy discusses as his primary ambition before this revelation. But I am coming closer to his line because it actually has already occurred to me almost exactly the same form of reasoning I just lack that suicidal misery that seems to have been thrust upon him. The Epicureanism is still working.
Ty!
As the Jesuits said "Give me a child till he is seven years old". Amazing how Tolstoy admits that faith is just an antidote to cover up his own greedy, parasite nature. I had no idea he was such a weak character and was only into writing for the fame and money of it. Very sad and enlightening to learn about the artist.

Excellent work for the audio. I am disappointed with the lack of attention to it. But I suppose that's the curse of Tolstoy himself when it came to his grief heheh.

Best reading voice in my opinion. Very coherent. These people need to F off!
Thanks for listening and feedback! Read by a volunteer of the LibriVox Project under the nickname EXPATRIATE.
Thank you for this reading ! I’d never heard of this work before. Apparently , the society in 19 th century Russia is similar to what is the current culture in the Western countries. But I can’t imagine that it could have been as perverse ? The atheistic bend of their philosophy ended up with totalitarian Communism and the death of millions. Let’s hope now that Russia has come out in the other side that atheist Western Europe and USA don’t go down that path

As the wise and learned of past and present have warned us by waging wars they are killing their own father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, grandchildren, grandparents, friends and relatives of previous lives.
The unique individual soul had been in the body of American, British, Russian, German... We have so many fathers and mothers in our previous lives. We were in WWI, WWII in our previous lives. Death means forgetful of past lives when the individual soul enter into the womb of another mother.

THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE READER OF THE AUDIOBOOK PROBABLY ARENT REALLY LISTENING OR SLOWED IN MIND BECAUSE THEY PLAY VIDEOES GAMES ALL THE TIME AND DONT UNDERSTAND HOW TO LISTEN TO AN AUDIOBOOK OR EVER READ A BOOK
7:54 - 8:04
He was speaking french. I understand french, but this was pronounced so terribly.... I have no idea what he meant. At first I thought he was speaking German :(
Does anyone know what the French phrase was?
I don't mind if you could tell me the actual French transcription or the english translation of it.
Thanks if anyone responds.
Thank you for your question, but unfortunately, I can not answer it, especially in the printed text of the work. There are no "inserts" in foreign languages, judging by the edition of Tolstoy L.N. Confession // Complete Works: in 90 vols. - Moscow: Literature, 1957, and in the first publication in 1884 (Geneva, published by M. K. Elpidin), such inserts in French and may have been(???), but I find it difficult to verify.
@@PricelessAudiobooks Thank you for the time you put in to look that up!

I asked myself what my life was, and the reply came that life is evil and absurdity, but I mistook the answer to my life to be the meaning to all human life
"Life is a moment between the past and the future"
Enjoyed the argument. But still did not determine the number angels on the head of a pin.

“Vanity” can someone explain to me what talstory means by that?
Material things that never seems to fulfill or satisfy deep needs of life. Like money can't buy me love, as sang The Beatles. 😊

I was kind of forced by my hubby to listen to this. I believe this is Tolstoy review of his life choices , several philosophies and the Catholic church . 17 more minutes ...let see what else he has to say at the end of it
Without Spiritual life and moral values, the whole world is in great turmoil.
Your husband is an awakening soul, God bless you both🙏👍♥️
I am repeating listening to Leo Tolstoy literatures in full attention....
Which also draws my husband's attention to listen without inviting him.
👍🙏 Attachment to listening to great literatures with moral values and principle is a good sign.
Twice born or born- again means including Spiritual practice into your daily life which is food that nourishing the soul.
On Tolstoys thinking about, If i understand what he’s saying , that anyone who professes Jesus Christ and follows Him as a believer, no matter if they be Catholics, Orthodox, or Protestant or non affiliated, we are all together and need to overlook those differences that are the traditions of those faiths . The way things are in these times many churches that say that they are Christian and we can all agree on the main points of their core beliefs- they have other beliefs that go against Jesus Christs teachings . Sexual immorality, divorce, abortion, homosexuality etc etc . In these cases we cannot read what Jesus Christ says in His scriptures and also be in communion with those who are so far from His teachings. Although we are all far from Jesus Christ as sinful beings , to say that those sins are ok would be to promote the evil one
Could the reader take a deep breath and slow down?
pretty good reading but you need to take a break between the last sentence of a chapter and the announcement of the next chapterNEXTCOMMENT
some chapters. Mostly it's read really nicely,,,
Once you do that, life will have meaning.
the narrator sort of sounds like David Foster Wallace
My answer.." surrender to nature, and not to man's absurdities of religious faith in a god, or gods for that matter.
Thank you so much for listening and feedback!
You didn't listen at all. Your answer is hilariously cliche. Tolstoy literally says he read Voltaire in this biography. You aren't the first Voltaire or Nietzsche enjoyer.
Missed the point of the book did we? Cha!
wait, it's over?
Yep, it's a short book
'What I Believe' is the follow-up.
I could relate to everything he was saying until he started talking about suicide. Does he not realize the absurdity of suicide? That is not escape from anything? Especially personal suicide? The world goes on without you.
you answered your question with your last sentence... the world goes on without you... also the universe goes on without the world... how can someone not understand how this can be deeply terryfing as well as liberating and beautiful at the same time?
Everyone dies at one point or another, and the world, the universe, always goes on. When your own life is perceived in that context, suicide is a viable option, but as Tolstoy confessed.... he was too cowardly to go through with it... and that perhaps he had some hopes deep down... about a deeper meaning that he might grasp in the future.

Goodbye..
This was exceptional. I wonder though, why must the faith be in God? Why not in nature, the stars, or even a desk lamp? It seems arbitrary, is all.
Because such things are not the ground of being and would be pantheism. The "one" found in Platonism can not be material phenomenon alone. Read Heidegger and then read "The Ground Of Being" by Paul Tillich. Liberal secularism is already doing what you say in worshiping the state and the market in favor of the divine. We have split asunder the heart of this world in the name of philosophical materialism in the political sphere.
You should probably listen again. It sounds like you completely missed the point.
A woman could never have written this book. This is know now that I am 76 .

😂 yea , that might have pushed him over the edge - thinking he came from a monkey lol
Please learn to pronounce French at least in such a way it is readily recognizable as French. Your first attempt at saying a French sentence made me remember that Tolstoy studied several 'exotic' languages like turkic, indeed for a while I thought it might be Tartar, after listening more closely I guessed Latin, but only my third guess was French and although I'm learning to speak French, I still weren't able to understand every word. Really, you should try again!
