What's absolutely incredible and fascinating all at once is that Buddhist monks are able to entirely separate themselves from pain. This is best demonstrated during self-immolations (i.e. lighting yourself on fire) and they show no sign of misery or distress. It's mind-boggling but it demonstrates that all of us have this potential to separate from the ego, the body, the self, who we think we are, and realize that at our core we are just consciousness. You are everyone and everything that is conscious. Except you can only experience it one at a time.
@Nathan Trujillo none of what op says is proven and neither any of the things brian greene says has been proven. Tho anecdotally buddist monks have done many painful acts without showing any signs of pain.
@Nathan Trujillo "Consciously we have proven that it is not completely separate from the structure of the brain" yea no shit... what a vague and cop out statement. Of course consciousness is somewhat part of the brain. It still stands that no one has proven where consciousness lies exactly. There are no peer reviewed studies on that at all. As far as the vodka thing id like to see that experiment. Send me a link to an article or video.
@Nathan Trujillo I saw that one and was laughing it's like the hallucination was trying to show him reality is an illusion and he took it as o the mind powerful rofl like it's literally a lesson in so many different ways and he took the one that makes least sense if all we sense is chemical signals what makes 1 signal more real then another ? Collective agreement? Dmt has collective agreement as in the experience is the same across mutplie people so the question is how do you measure reality by ?
I got talked into joining the wrestling team my senior year(this year). 3 hour practices of hell, duels every Thursday, friday night early bed times and entire saturdays spent in a high school gym. I hated every minute of it. On the other side though, this was my first weekend off wrestling. I've never appreciated a free weekend so much in my life. Joe is so right when he says you can't appreciate peacefulness without going through hell first. Looking back, I wish I'd have just embraced the hell of it.
I have lived with trigeminal neuralgia for decades. The pain has been compared to having a limb severed, and I can go through it several times daily. The concept that pain is inevitable but suffering is optional is what has kept me alive while dealing with the suicide disease. It took years, but I have the pain compartmentalized to a great extent.
*"dumbest statement ever"* Pain never goes away, Mike Tysons trainer said youll always have fire, fire can hurt you, or you can use it to stay warm and survive.
Suffering is the inevitable condition of being alive in a godless universe filled with all sorts of horrors and indignities. Pretending otherwise is silly and childish. Suffering doesn't make you stronger or more wise . . . It just makes an otherwise mundane day spectacularly shitty.
Awesome segment. Everyone will get something different from this depending upon their own lifestyle/situation... but the concept for personal strength and scaling is amazing.
2 months out from my bodybuilding show. Most days feels like a like a 1-3 balancing diet, training, posing practice, cardio, school, work, and a social life (non-existent). Have been feeling rly low lately but I understand the bigger picture: I need these bad days to later reap the greater ones. Thriving and embracing in the discomfort and bad days because it shouldn’t be all good. Awesome clip 🔥
With his mentality, i get it. I just run marathons (lol just) and it's a challenge, but this guy is doing stuff 10× harder. I appreciate things more now in life because of hardship and getting up early like jocko and getting some before i start my day. I appreciate my day more when I get out of bed at 0430 when my body is screaming " no lay here and rest a couple more hours!" It's easy getting up. Just get up.
I do get what he says. We once went hiking with my dad and sister to this hiking path in northern Finland (Käsivarsi Wilderness). It took us five days to walk ~100km (~62 miles). Our backpacks were unnecessarily heavy, our tents weren't even waterproofed so our sleeping bags got wet the first night when it rained and we barely slept. My hiking shoes were too hot to a summer day, but my sneakers didn't support my ankles enough. After 40-50km every step I took was painful to my feet, knees and hips. I can't even describe how fucking happy we were to see our car at the parking lot after those painful 5 days, and I can tell you I have never been so happy to see a couch when we got to our cabin. Still, those 5 days were one of the best weeks in my life, and even though it was painful, I will probably do it again.
I used to agree 100% with this guy. I used to say to my friends, I would take 3 moments of despair/unhappiness for one of extreme joy anytime. As I got older, life itself, arranged that the ratio of my good/bad experiences were pending more to the bad and average. During college + post grad (8 years total) I lived in constantly euphoric state. I thought I had the best life ever. I would wake up so energetic, and grateful for everything... I’ve been depressed for the past 3 and a half years now, went to several different psychiatrists, some of them said exactly what this guys said about pendulum. If someone goes through a period of euphoria/ecstasy in their life, odds are that they will go through a period of melancholia also. If that’s true, and if I need to compensate for those 8 years I’m damned! Having suicidal thoughts on a daily basis (several times a day, for the past year and a half. Boredom gets me really bad also. Im desperate. I just wish my consciousness would shut down. End. I don’t want to think or feel anything anymore.
paulohyp Thanks for sharing. What has helped me is not looking too far into the past or the future and focusing on finding little things to be grateful for on a daily basis. Stay strong my friend and continue sharing✌🏻
when he's old his bodys going to start saying what the fuck did you do to me? i can barely walk and I feel like shit. instead of working out eating healthy and growing beast
True suffering happens when a person has to go through trauma with no forewarning or preparation. Then survive post horrific experience and be able to share and care for others as well as themselves throughout their lives.
Isn’t there a tiny little voice in our heads that says “ try, continue FINISH! and comfort whispers just a tad more audibly Why, relax, stop here and just be FUCK THAT I SO NEEDED THIS. this is WHY I listen to Rogan’s podcast
I'm at a 1 out of 10 day everyday I'm in pain always and so done with it.i can't be pain free and even go for a fkn walk anymore I can't seem to find life anymore
Instant gratification is poisonous. Short term pain brings long-term gratification. Exercise brings pain now and benefits later. Semen retention brings uncomfort now and greatness later. Cold showers bring uncomfort and pain now and benefits later. In life we all sacrifice things wether we want to or not. Sacrifice comfort, sacrifice pleasure and you get bliss.
That sums up the difference between American and European sport. "If your team wins the Superbowl, it's a 6." Mate in England if your football team wins the league that's a fucking 10, no two ways about it.
That make sense. My only problem is that for me the 1s feel like negative 5s. And that is so much so to the point that I feel like I wanna kms. No joke. But those 10s are like 20s tbh. One thing is true. I experience those negative 5s and man even though it sucks so badly that I wanna just die man, it doesn make the regular experiences just all of the better, and can even give you some deeper appriciate of the normal range too. Like the fact that people in New York can be all jam packed in there with all those people and not have a 24/7 riot of death and destruction given history's past. That gives you some good gratitude about how things are even if they are fairly bad, beause it could be and often is worse...
Nobody want's to be "ordinary" or "mediocore". But, the simple mathematical fact is, more than half are and always will be. And, without these "quiet desperation" people, societies would just come crumbling down.
Life is suffering. I don't need to go bare back a seal to feel enough pain to know the difference between pain and pleasure. If you need to do that than maybe your life is too easy to begin with.
According to some "pop culture critics" this positive and inspirational video is pushing me down a rabbit hole of subversive proportions!!! Imagine the sheer numbers of people now inspired to embrace life to its fullest, it's fucking horrible! Who will save us from this Joe guy and his guests of subversion!?!?!?! I shudder as I gaze at the sidebar...and woe is me, more Joe! I am trapped!
His motivation is objectively squandered. There's a good point to be made that you can overcome temporary pain/discomfort to accomplish wonderful experiences. Investing your time into a hiking trip or rowing a boat can just be your type of fun. Ordinary is the same as Normal. In reality, there will never be the now in all of its complexities, again, ever. Every person has a story to tell. An amusing moment. A separation between them and society. A common goal they share with their species. Such a one through ten number system is as an immature fratboy diminishing the human value in front of him. Take a cold shower. Be grateful you have the ready flow of water that civilization was in possession and then forgot in self-destruction. To count on comfort is self-serving but so is saying your life is at an apogee after a snow walk.
That 4-6 ratio is bs? That’s totally subjective. Look. Everyone just needs to get their head out of their asses some days and live a life THEY think is fulfilling.
This guy is a Savage no doubt but for most of us will never experience this kind of challenge because this takes a lot of money thousands upon thousands upon thousands of dollars to be able to do this so I'll just live through Colin
Yo thats a Naruto quote lol ''Pain is Mandatory but suffering is Optional'' Nagato-Pain Im stuck at a 5 for sure but Im really happy with it. A 1 will come and a 10 will also come for sure, no need to live between the extremes for me
@Suffer No Fools it should be here, it was when a guy said you must live fully before you die or something. Then you said instead of saying kys just tell people to live fully.
Ehh.. I understand what he’s getting at, but it’s not this simple. Much more complex. May vary based on your definition of these terms: pain, suffering, comfort.
My team winning a super bowl would be a 10 for me. It would probably be the best moment in my life 😂😂 and if that’s a 6 to everyone else so be it. That sounds great to me.
There's nothing on maslow's hierarchy of needs that says we need pain or goals. This is basic psychology. What we really need are security, love, self esteem, not discomfort , or goals
Maslows hierarchy is only theoretical, not to say it doesnt have empirically proven points, but certainly can be expanded upon. I think to bring it back to the video, we have to ask, what does it take to ascend this hierarchy? I agree with the aspect of rejuvenation and nurturment, but to spend your entire life there, is to spend your life in a vacuum sealed incubator, and is, at least in some contexts, selfish in the WRONG ways, and negligent to the hard truths of our place in this world. (Survival is selfish, but not evil or wrong). I look at these states, and say to them, necessary pain is sacred, integrated masculinity, sacred feminity is necessary, non-indulgent rejuvenation. In between is where we can find a relief from suffering. Finally (yay), from a personal anecdote i should add that I wish that i had someone in my life to push me. Someone who, before the push, I could look in the eye and say "No matter what i say or do, i know this is for me, for us". The final fight in life is facing yourself.. We need to learn how to swim, not be fearful of the waters before us.
I needed to hear this today.

This guy is absolutely right. I can tell you from my own life experience, that heaven is less valuable, if you've never seen hell.

I can appreciate peacefulness without going through hell first, lmao
His perspective is kind of bad if you lived way where r u grateful for everything even small things you would not need bad things to happen
Suffering is resistance to what is and pain is the opposite of pleasure.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way....
"Pain is inevitable, Suffering is only an option" - Pain (Nagato) in Naruto
I have lived with trigeminal neuralgia for decades. The pain has been compared to having a limb severed, and I can go through it several times daily. The concept that pain is inevitable but suffering is optional is what has kept me alive while dealing with the suicide disease. It took years, but I have the pain compartmentalized to a great extent.
I need this dude and david goggins to train together

*"dumbest statement ever"*
Pain never goes away, Mike Tysons trainer said youll always have fire, fire can hurt you, or you can use it to stay warm and survive.
You know there is mental pain and physical pain,do you? Mike had mental pain. So much about "dumbest statement ever"
This sounds like the same thing.. the fire is mandatory, but the suffering is optional..
tv Spy
Yea, wtf, it sounds the same.
Impulsive to a fault you are.
@@tvspy9770 that just sounds dumb tho. That way atleast. Isn't really saying the same thing. Those don't relate in that statement.
Suffering is the inevitable condition of being alive in a godless universe filled with all sorts of horrors and indignities. Pretending otherwise is silly and childish. Suffering doesn't make you stronger or more wise . . . It just makes an otherwise mundane day spectacularly shitty.

All the dislikes are likely from people accidentally pressing it while scrolling to the comments on their phones.
I disliked and I run everyday. Wassup
People that say suffering is optional havent suffered
We had a phrase for this in the military. Embrace the suck!!! In the modern world we have to manufacture our pain.
Everyone has different descriptions of happiness. Just because this guys version of happiness is one way doesn't mean other people think the same.

Great video here, great quote I agree 100 percent!
Rationalizing his unconscious belief that he must do incredible things to be worthy of love.
With his mentality, i get it. I just run marathons (lol just) and it's a challenge, but this guy is doing stuff 10× harder. I appreciate things more now in life because of hardship and getting up early like jocko and getting some before i start my day. I appreciate my day more when I get out of bed at 0430 when my body is screaming " no lay here and rest a couple more hours!" It's easy getting up. Just get up.
It’s very true. You need to challenge yourself in life to really enjoy it to the fullest.
