So how does this all apply outside of a social construct? I have to ask you if you know what a social construct is? Because everything mentioned in this video pertains to one. This is just informing us on how to live within a social construct and how to be divided from everyone else which is what mental and physical slavery is all about. Isolating one from others makes them easy prey for a nation of conquers.

To my experience, most people are toxic. It is not on purpose. It is just that they don't recognize it themselves. I have learned that it is useless to tell them. Everybody needs to discover this for themselves. As I did over the last nine years. Since then my life has drastically changed. Detatching myself from people and "stuff" has made me a wiser, more balanced person. Living alone is not always easy but being among toxic people is impossible. When I watch this video it strikes me how I have discovered myself to live according to Musashi teachings. My life has become one great experiment. I love it. I am looking forward to what life has in store for me next.

But i find a lot more peace, enjoyment and fulfillment in spending time alone, working on my art, while everyone else talks and wastes their breath. Being alone is a blessing. I also think having less / no friends is better. The only friends that matter is family as they are much less likely to ever leave you. Ive lost amazing 12-13 year long friendships and i have never have felt more free in my life. Im not saying to break up with all your friends but instead to only keep the ones that matter. Bad / meaningless friendships steal from your life while good ones add to it.

I agree it can force you to focus on yourself, but the extra "in a good way" part isn't necessarily true though. It can have adverse effects just as much as positive ones. That's a fact that many studies on solitary periods have shown. Let's not pretend solitude is all roses and peace of mind when it can just as well be thorns and torment.

I really enjoyed this video. As an artist, solitude is essential to the production of creative endeavors. I have not read the Dokkodo, but I have read the book of five rings, which is another one of Musahi's writings, and I highly recommend it as well. In the end, it seems like the only thing we truly have control over is ourselves, so why not evolve into the best self that we can achieve.

[@DavidC2-fc7tj]

Someone told me about the book of 5 rings. He gave me the rundown of who he was detailing some of his battles with other warriors. He said he used deception and got in his opponents heads. One story being he showed up late in the afternoon when he had told a challenger to meet him on an island early in the morning causing his opponent to be furious by the time he showed up hours later. As the opponent approached him angrily as he was docking his boat he turned around and beat him to death with an oar. That's pretty brutal. Is that accurate? I would definitely like to read the book.

[@mr.corazon4765]

@@DavidC2-fc7tj Yes, that's the nuts and bolts of it. He killed a famous swordsman with a wooden boat paddle. He also would not bathe for extended periods of time to also distract his opponents.

I find peace being alone , at 60 years of age I've lived a very interesting life ( been there done that and own that) the simple life is very calming.

The lonely I need is pure pain in the gym. My mind goes quiet, the heavy metal on my ears go loud but i'm not there. Only the beast. All the stress goes in one hour of fury and them i'm back. Happy and feeling alive. This is my way of meditation. (listening to music while reading once or twice a week is great too)

[@digidrum2003]

Yes! My gym is my therapy.

Loneliness itself is like pain, a signal of something within that needs to be healed. Aloneness is required to align, integrate and reflect universal foundations without being sidelined by disruption. The presence of distraction itself is a signal mechanism, like pain, indicating there exists opportunity to mature. Aloneness is a fundamental art form that must be mastered within before it can produce its fruit in the world. Aloneness requires the sacrifice of everything, yet when all else is as nothing, there comes the paradoxical revelation that nothing can be lost in the experience of presence alone.

I was just talking to my friend about something similar to this and I run into this video on my youtube feed. That timing is Incredible. Fantastic work.

"if you are alone and miserable, you are obviously in bad company" - an enlightened being has dissolved into the cosmic consciousness, for that person there is no fear or anxiety, there is liberation - in his solitude, he finds bliss

[@yeshuaneitheristheresalvat8018]

No, they find in the end that they have been deceived by Satan, and that Jesus was right all along. Its just too late at that point. They believed the lie of Satan that he deceived himself with, then our first parents Adam and Eve, that they could be like God (your cosmic consciousness), instead of Receiving Christ as their Saviour for their sins and receiving forgiveness of their sins and eternal life with the Lord tht created them.

About to turn 23 and two years ago I thought that moving back in with my parents after college was the end of my life. It was a major punch to my ego. I left nyc to come back to a small town with nothing. I was burnt out from the bustling city. The rat race was suffocating, I was betrayed my my closest friend, taking our business and turning the other friends on me as well. At first it was crushing and I didn’t want to do anything except stay inside. Then I realized nothing can change unless I do something. So it started slowly with going to the gym and figuring out new business ideas. It was hard building a routine, I was so used to instant gratification in nyc but slowly with consistency I build tangible results in my physical body, mind and environment. I became comfortable with being alone. There was no choice but to. I started meditating and reading more. Two years later I’m completely almost completely financially independent and able to travel and have a purpose. I’m still not where I want to be but I know for certain I will get there. To anyone reading this, don’t give up. Results take time. Visualize what you want for your life, even if it feels unrealistic at the moment and unattainable just imagine it. Then make tangible goals that will lead towards that. Break it into chunks and make smaller goals that will ultimately make up the staircase leading to the ultimate one. No matter what you want in this world, if it’s positive then it’s your birthright to attain it. If it’s material, mental or spiritual, attain it! Don’t give up, don’t become complacent either. If there’s a burning desire in your heart for something, something that fills you with energy when you think about it, then you have to do it. Don’t let money distract you, it’s just a means to get things in this materialistic world. Don’t let it consume you, don’t chase it, chase what your heart is calling out for. Don’t let the flame of your heart distinguish because you fulfill what you knew all along you were supposed to. Like musashi asked himself. Why was I born into this world? Go and find out.

If you are lonely even though there are many people around then its called hardwork/dedication. That's how i spent almost my entire life in hostel and I'll be going back again.

This was awesome and lot to learned from doing this. I have always felt that being a loner was not a bad thing but a way of having peace with self and staying focused. But being a loner feels alone at time or cutoff, but it's all in how we perceive things, especially when it comes to self.

@@accidentcellar6307 try being "alone" in a place with more sunlight and oxygen. It's an enlightening contrast reading a book in your depression inducing light-lacking room compared to walking a few steps to outside to read the same book/ play the same games/ think about the same things . You would think that because of the lack of light, that your mind would easier be able to ignore the outside details other than the detail that you want to be focusing on such as the thing in front of you ,, in comparison to walking to the next room with sunlight surrounding everything illuminating everything to be noticable (ironically brain more being at peace and able to think better in the sunlit room). But the situation isn't the same throughout the day.

I agree. Solitude is and can be very healthy especially today in this time. But I would also argue that if u dont have insight, a form of self reflection, knowing yourself for you strenght and weaknesses then solitude can be very dangerous!
