Ahmad Halis Or why not live life life to ur best potential and become the best version of yourself to enjoy everything life has to offer. Idk but that to me sounds better than just accepting what ails you or prevent your happiness. You know since we all gonna die anyways why not live your best life.

Hey im looking for your video about laughing and changing our mindset please let me know. I cant find it was 😔😢😢

[@tedlugano]

@Ahmad Halis There's Truth in what is temporary. There is an intelligence/essence of consciousness in the world around us. These Truths precede and succeed us; While we are alive, we get the opportunity to interact with the Truth/Natural Laws/etc thus creating a subjective 'interpretation' of the Truth which colors meaning for the individual. What is the Truth and according to who/Who?

As a Libyan...try laughing at the fact that the U.S decimated your country and turned it into a shithole country...

[@glynemartin]

@BeetleBUMxX Very thoughtful answer. One of the better ones i've had in recent times. Still not sure it would be a consolation to Libyans. Do you understand the full extent to which that country has been decimated by unfettered U.S imperialism?.. Seemingly hopelessness should engender the most laughter ...no? Imagined suffering is not the same as the real deal...

[@CrazyLinguiniLegs]

@@glynemartin you have a point. Kierkegaard's advice helps with subtle (emotional/mental) forms of suffering but can do little to alleviate gross (physical) forms of suffering. And even when you consider only subtle forms of suffering, there is a distinction, as you point out, between "real" suffering and "imagined" suffering. I would define "imagined" subtle suffering as that emotional/mental suffering which has its roots in faulty perception or thinking, and this can be alleviated by changing your perception or thinking. "Real" subtle suffering is the emotional/mental suffering that results from actual physical suffering, and this is not alleviated by a change in perspective. This type of suffering requires physical intervention to alleviate. And, it's a grim reality, but in many cases "real" suffering (gross or subtle) cannot be alleviated at all.

Meditation daily

[@hoodhippie3404]

A technique that I recently discovered that works for me is one I like to call "non-reaction". There might be another name for it but basically what you do is simply dont react to whatever is plaguing you and remain calm and have no judgement towards the feeling, thought or circumstance that you label as "bad" or that bother you. Dont label them as good either just remain neutral and calm. its important to implement this before you are consumed by whatever it is thats bothering you. Its easier said than done but its helped me tons and brings me peace. Hope this helps.

[@MorfiusRacing]

[@robertsamuel1994]

This reminds me of the basic course of meditation that's free on headspace. "let thoughts come and go, sit back as if you see thoughts going past as cars on an highway. It's like observing, noticing and stepping out of the self harming process of indulging in bad thoughts. I use meditation and mindfulness to train me to notice my thoughts and notice what my mind indulges in. It helps a lot.

[@hoodhippie3404]

​@@robertsamuel1994 Yeah they're pretty similar. From my experience the benefits are the same its kinda like meditation but without actually meditating if that makes any sense. Lol its pretty hard to explain. I guess its like meditating with your eyes open and without being still. But other than that the process is the exact same as you stated above. I mainly use it when anxiety, depression and negative thoughts start creeping up on me and the benefits are somewhat instant and very noticeable. I notice that I react to things that used to make me sad, angry, anxious very differently and instead those feelings are replaced by peace and I no longer think of those things as "bad" and therefore dont bother me anymore. Overall im just a happier person and find myself loving and saying nice things about myself almost automatically. Which is new for me. It literally works wonders.

We are all alone inside our heads.

[@itsjustjake4469]

The human condition is insanely rich in detail, and is therefore a generalized insanity. It is tragedy and comedy, but these words are merely conventions of understanding. Understanding is a part of experience, but not the whole of it. There are so many sensations and feelings which we overlook because we are stuck in thought. I like the term ‘dance’ better in characterizing life, for in order to keep on, one must dance with life’s changing tides, both internal and external (which are also manmade words...) One can argue all day about whether life is tragedy or comedy but they are just words. However, to laugh a bold laugh is to transcend the feeling of victimhood in times of doubt. It is a heroic act, for it says “I can see my struggle from outside of myself, and all in all it is hysterical. I wouldn’t have it any other way.” While the victim complains ad infinitum without recognizing that it is all an act, and if he could come to his senses he would find that to be a human and aware of it is in itself worth laughing about. Our downfall is in trying to outwit life unceasingly, when in truth we should see to it that we remember our childhood stupidity. Recover spontaneity by NOT TRYING to recover it. Do what you are called to do, don’t get hung up on making a life mission of it. Just find something with which you can be creative, play with it for it’s OWN sake, and you’ll find that you can dance with life better, and maybe laugh a little more, too.

sunil rampuria Rude it’s just a joke and thanks to him for his content. Relax.

Thank you. On a human level this message resonates with my logical mind. On a spiritual level, it is missing the Love that is necessary for me to connect with completely. My gratitude to you for your time and work. With Unconditional Love ❤️ Namaste 🙏 Thank you for the recognition. God bless you 🙏

[@eudaemoniac3449]

Is it it missing it or is it you?

[@normanschmidt8075]

@@eudaemoniac3449 I must revise my statement about Love. Missing, it is not. Overlooked, more probable.

I legitimately just wrote a paper for a psych class with this same premise. Life is weird. Either way, I really like your work. It's helped me a lot. So thank you, and keep doing your thing.

Thank you. I really enjoy this channel. I won't go into detail, but Academy of Ideas has really helped me lately.

Kybalion: #1 Mentalism- All is Mind; The Principle of Mentalism embodies the idea that "All is Mind." Everything that happens has to be a result of a mental state which precedes it. For anything to exist, thoughts had to form first, which then form physical reality or manifestation. "Your thoughts are seeds, plant positive seeds in your mind garden." #6 Cause & Effect- Every cause has its effect. Every effect has its cause, everything happens according to Law. It explains that there is a cause for every effect, and an effect for every cause. It also states that there is no such thing as chance, that chance is merely a term indicating extant causes not recognized or perceived.

Your content helps me and those I love. I’d love it if you invested in a new microphone, I play all audio at 3 and you can really notice the audio quality at that speed

Can I recommend Shure SM7B or Electro-Voice RE20? Can't go wrong with these for any source and with the most of nice preamplifiers.

[@brianwoolley5033]

Wow, this is one of the best videos I've seen ever. I'll be coming back to this often. Thank you. You certainly changed my perspective!

I used to think that my negative self was a motivator for me to accomplish things and do well. Yeah, so after it nearly killed me a couple times I don’t think that anymore.

Isn't it Tolstoy at 6:00? I wonder if the collective consciousness will rise, some day, to a degree when whole civilisations will be awakened or is it just a utopia?

[@crippleized]

O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me It seems quite unrealistic. But let’s do our part. Recommend the books and mention the talking points while avoiding making it about ourselves.

[@Diogenes_Lantern.]

What exactly do you mean by "being awakened"? Do you mean to be aware of ones own psyche, or to be aware of ones surroundings, or to be aware of our collective history etc etc? Would you consider yourself to be a "woke" person?
