Detachment. It's so very important. Even my phone is only £30, cheap but does what I need, it's a tool and not my life. It doesn't make me upset if it breaks or lost. Sometimes people mock it as it's not the latest phone model, but it does exactly the same as theirs does... That is fine, their views are their own. Take care. ✌️🧘

That's beautiful Thank you ! I once took some Lsd and spent the day exploring Warrington Beach in the south Island of New Zealand. I remember so clearly finding the most beautiful rock pools on this beach and possibly the whole world. These rock pools were filled with the most beautiful clear water, amazing reflective sea shells and incredibly multi colored rocks and pebbles. It was in this moment I was taught and or learned or realized that "the kingdom of heaven is within". I also remembered putting both my hand into this rock pool amongst the multi colored sea shells and thinking I want to make this into a meme image that I was indeed the richest man on earth and that all the worlds abundance and riches would never compare to this moment. Sometimes I get a similar experience like recently when I was working on an orchard in the morning during the middle of winter during a hard frost. But as the sun was rising and the ice started to melt that the fruit trees were also covered in Diamonds and that the ground under the fruit trees was also covered in multi colored diamonds. The sun turned the melting ice crystals into dewdrops and within these dew drops when the morning light shined through these dew drops I could see all the colors of the rainbow within these dew drops ( Indra's net of jewels )That morning was no LSD but I do remember having a little cannabis with breakfast as that helped with some aches and pains and did help with motivation to go and work. Always remember the kingdom of heaven is within. No amount of material gain will ever compare to it. The kingdom of heaven is not something you can obtain but rather something you wake up to. Thanks brother love your work keep going ! Your work will inspire the future. The greatest currency on planet earth , is the affect you have on others !

My favorite teachings of all time. I've come back to the Tao de Ching so many times and every time I find wisdom that is either new or has been forgotten. It has such a way of reminding me not to get caught up in my own story and beliefs too deeply. Even the opening lines remind me that whatever story or path I think my life is going down, it just isn't sufficiently described with words or thoughts. Nothing can be more useful when you are having a hard time. Just remember, your story isn't your story. It never can be. With that, you can let go and just go with the flow. With that, you can be one with the Tao

Some days that’s more than enough, some days it’s frustrating how little help it seems to be. But we just try again in the next moment. And the next. Also just thinking, for most human history there weren’t that many “famous” people; maybe some tribe leaders or dukes and perhaps some writers and religious figures, but most everybody was nobody in the same way, and most people had about the same amount of liquid assets at any time. There wasn’t much to buy for most of that time, so people only worked enough to survive. Now…what I’m saying is we’re out of our element Donnie

Most people have to grind for just the bare necessities, and even then you don't make it... All this philosophy videos about modern life talk like all are working and having disposable income that the waste superfluously, looking for status, when the reality is most people are just trying to make ends meet.

Depends on the person, some struggle to make ends meet, while being wasteful and seeking a lot of stuff. Things like clothes, shelter (unless you become Diogenes) and having fun are necessities. Some people misunderstand these necessities, instead of the bare minimum they may seek really nice clothes, a really nice house and instead of making good friends or simple reading or playing, they may seek "higher pleasure" which would wear out its welcome. Obviously doesn't apply to everybody

@@Breakaway-ic5gj What is wrong with nice clothes and a nice house? What is wrong with desires and ambition beyond what the rich fucks allow you to have as "means"? What is wrong with thinking you deserve more and better? Seriously, what is so wrong with it?

@@digitalsublime Yeah I think they are more worried about the next meal, or not falling off overpopulated trains, or not dying in a tribal war. Internet was made by westerners mostly for westerners. we all see what china and india and africa do to freedoms of speech and persons as a general rule. India, forget it, starts out with caste system and somehow calls itself a democracy. GTFO. China, utter and total dictatoriship. Africa, run by mostly highly unqualified persons and corruption, often ran by paralmilitary people. No, we have a sane view of the world the way human monkey brains work. Way saner than the eastern views or other views in most ways, at least at the surface level of society, there is more than materialism, a lot more than YOU ASSUME. Remember, we shared the internet, for free. Could have made it an AT&T thing.

@@digitalsublime Bruh I live in India, I'm speaking from experience. Although India has a lot of diversity, so I'm only talking about what I've seen Edit: I wrote a reply for user qc 7 but KZbin deleted it for some reason. But basically, the rich are in fact the ones that have drilled those novelties as necessities in to our heads, so that we'll line their pockets or die trying. A nice house or cloth does the same thing as a normal house or cloth, there isn't really a benefit it's just kind of a waste of energy. Furthermore, if you accustom yourself to these things, when they're not there or you can't get them which will inevitably happen because of the nature of life, you'll feel bad, or forever dissatisfied because you're seeking "better" things, which aren't better anyway, just hyped up. In order to live a happy life, you need to eliminate pain or worries from your life, which can include toxic people, your broken washing machine, and even desires which cause you to seek things outside of your control (so basically everything outside of your actions), or anger, lack of compassion etc. You do deserve better, you deserve to be around good people, and you should seek to better yourself, or your skills if you're an artist or something. This will make you happy in the long run.
