Such a powerful book! Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is like a timeless guide to navigating life’s challenges with resilience and clarity. Each chapter feels like a personal conversation with the Emperor himself, filled with wisdom that still feels relevant today.

It’s crazy how I can’t mentally understand what he’s saying but my soul understands it and I get a sense of inner peace listening to this

[@TheAlchemy__Within]

Everyday as we observe the world around annmd within ourselves.. we'll develop a deeper understanding into the common misunderstandings we have as humans and through self love and development we can do less harm and creat a true coexistence

[@CaptainCowboy476]

I won’t pretend to be philosophical or give an opinion about this or that, but it was a great listen. I appreciate the book

[@arachnid83]

Hello. A few months ago I requested classic books of stoicism. So thank you for this. Although, there are stoic books available in many versions, reading books with your unique and immersive ambience is a real treat. So thank you.

[@asherfrederick2938]

Thank you for this addition to the audio book collection, and thank you and blessings for spreading wisdom to be easily accessed. May your work bring light to mankind and merit to your karma. If I may, I request that you add the Bhagavad Gita.

God bless you for bringing us such gem lecturers which speak directly to our soul ! 🙏❤

[@louferon]

A must for every man. I'd like to leave here my word of appreciation for the narration tone and speed

[@willarmendariz7663]

Matthew Schmidts and Marcus Aurelius? The answer is yes. Let us drink of the cup of wisdom.

[@StoicMindset68]

I think you saved my sanity with this one. Thank you

If Marcus met Jesus he would crucify him on the spot

[@colino5056]

[@spiritualanarchist8162]

Aurelius was one of those emperors who persecuted Christians.

[@GrandpaOnATunedScooter]

@@colino5056 Because Jesus was a (lēistēs). John 18 Jesus in the park with John cries "I am not a lēistēs". The word means pirate or predator or trafficker. Crucification was reserved for a very revolting crime.

So Aurelius was a Lord of Copium? He was a blue pill soy boy? Wonder of he could survive a night of the streets of Kensington the dosser..

[@GrandpaOnATunedScooter]

Surprised he could think compared to the tards I've met on heroin

Imagine someone like Marcus Aurelius stepping forward to run for President these daze.

[@BabushkaOnuk]

He would have caught the bullet and slung it back at the nerd using a Philistine catapult. Then he would receive the golden slipper ftom Keaanu Reeves at Philadelphia before cracking open the liberty bell with Hjaarland's hammer. Abe Lincoln hands him the keys to the White House after stepping out of a hot tub time machine

There’s very little that I look forward to in life these days, but Matt’s post on Saturdays is one of them. He is the best content creator that I am aware of on this platform. He never bothers to like my comments or comment back though , but oh well. I don’t get it though because it’s not like he’s got thousands of them. I’ve been a subscriber for a long time now so sometimes I can’t help but wonder if there’s a reason he doesn’t. I probably watch this channel more than anyone else. Any who, I just love the time he takes with the visuals and creating his own music for them as well. You’re much appreciated.

[@mysticlisa369]

You are appreciated 😇

You may ask yourself a question as to why it is so important to you to be recognized. Are you looking for a reward for supporting his channel? There's something deep and hidden that is bothering you and the answer to these questions may surprise you.. His amazing content is the reward you are looking for. Enjoy it. I'm sure he appreciates you. There can be thousands of reasons for which he does things the way he does and he has any right to do so.

Whining about someone not liking your comment on KZbin, on a audiobook on stoic philosophy, lol.

Which translation version is this? Staniforth, Hays, Hicks, etc?

[@lindasue8719]

A question: are you still putting recordings out in podcast format? I've been really enjoying listening to some, but they only go as far as the beginning of 2023 (Native American trickster tails). I'm mostly listening on Castbox

[@msshaffer5]

Is it me or is Matt now using an AI voice of himself? I’ve never heard him sound like this. At 4:00 it didn’t sound good. It seemed like the speed of his reading was off.

[@spiritualanarchist8162]

If only Aurelius son bothered to listen to his father. LOL

[@zbuell560]

Maybe the masters he had for his children weren’t as good as he thought.

[@spiritualanarchist8162]

@@zbuell560 Commodus turning into yet another hedonistic madman is hardly surprising. So much wealth & power from birth hardly prepares one to follow a stoic example.

[@BabushkaOnuk]

The reading lacks the nuanced breathing of an actual live reading. Not as altruistic as the real McCoy, but a great service nontheless

[@willarmendariz7663]

​@BabushkaOnuk I completely disagree. When AI reads shit, it is deviod of life and emotion. Matthew brings these things to life.

[@BabushkaOnuk]

@@willarmendariz7663 So Matthew is the runner of this channel, Altruism Grace Media? You are saying he reads out these books? That is good to know. Are you sure his voice hasn't been absorbed by an AI modulator that then reads these out in his key? The breathing in most of these videos sounds edited or perhaps even AI. If the channel owner reads all the books aloud then he truly is altruistic. Ya' get me?
