Advanced lecture. Careful now - seeing ones true self and the environment they are in can be an overwhelming matter. The one thing I'm finding out is that it does take real strength of character to understand your situation. And then how to properly deal with making improvements on yourself and your world.

You are not going to improve yourself & you are not going to improve the world! More wasted energy!

“Resting is wasting time, the mind will say.” I love how you laughed at that; and it made me laugh too 😆Because it’s so true. Thank you 🤗

Hi HC, Society - the blind leading the blind! How to wake up all these 'people'?! Your attempt at helping with these videos is greatly honored here. The gaps/silence in your videos are the best parts.🙏❤

Ive often enjoyed working hard. Getting things done. Getting paid making ppl happy by supplying a service.

[@davidmickles5012]

Its about resting in the present, its about not being distracted, its about being fully engaged as you let go. Pace or speed is extraneous and secondary, the real issue is to release the tension of distraction. We are distracted by the delusion of other - other things, other people, other events, other time. There is no other. To be present is to be without the delusion of other, without the distraction of other. If you perfect that then speed or pace is irrelevant... or simply relative. 🙏❤

Right on. Just listen the Vernon Howard - complete honest un-learning. “There is a way out” - Vernon Howard

Thank you for your video, I really like it and agree with that so much. ❤ Exactly as you said , I got addicted to watching social media/my phone in the worst and longest lockdown in Melbourne Victoria. Yes, I don’t want to go for holiday anymore because it is depressing to be coming back into the fast no making sense big city reality…. I like resting and I feel weird because I don’t want to run as the rest of the society in the hamster wheel ….I had enough

[@Robert_Lindsay]

Your slower speed and pauses are appropriate here because they allow a slow absorption of the points you are making. There are limits to this; if for example you moved and spoke at the pace of flash the sloth in Zootopia (2016 animated movie), you would frustrate some impatient bunny rabbits I’m sure. 😅

[@castanyanne]

Of course my friend, peace and love just in the now ❤

Nice talk. To supplement, the book _Leisure: The Basis of Culture_ by Josef Pieper may be of interest. Also, Emerson’s speech _The Transcendentalist_ is great. _On Leisure_ by Seneca is relevant as well.

It's funny because the cure is to stop and be silent, not escapism. They come back from vacation more exhausted than when they left. But they can tell people they went and that's all that matters to them. Other people will know they're awesome and not boring. Yet the people they tell have forgotten an hour later and don't really care.

Me having to watch this at 2x is the reason I needed this video 😂

I like how David Lynch _grinds_ : 24h days when he's making a movie, *leaves a trace and legacy for humanity* , but then takes it slowly the rest of the life (meditation, making things in his shed, drinking coffee.........) Everybody should be like David Lynch and we would have heaven on Earth imho.

Eckhart Tolle says to, "just be." Not thinking. You call it resting. Iam all in. Becoming human again. Not a product or producer. Money chaser. I like the calm. ❤

we understand quantity. we don't understand quality. so we go faster.

If you think that you're Somebody and you're going somewhere...I hate to break it to you, but there is nothing to do, there is nowhere to go.

[@noglobo]

It's all just a bunch of low vibe excitement chasers looking to be seen, heard and laid. Yet they are consistently lame at all 3 despite their intense trying. Taoist says don't try and just be. I only need to run if I am being chased. When I play basketball I am doing a dance. When I cycle I am at play with balance and patience.

[@kellroy1778]

Not gonna lie, but I watched this on 2x play speed

[@AwakeAble]

Then it was the perfect video for you 🙃👍

[@janrebec5919]

Rest is only when you are dead. Thats when all knowledge drops from you. Even sitting in chair or in lotus is not rest because you are clinging to knowledge ob how to do it. Lying on the floor maybe 🤔

[@AwakeAble]

To die before you die and truly live ♥️🙏

[@btlfilmmedia9514]

The work ethic is a pure con

[@EmilFromEarth]

Do you think your ancestors rested and lived like you? Humans have always had to struggle to survive and move forward. It's a privlege they gave you through hard work. You are really out of touch with reality.

[@AwakeAble]

Yes they rested a lot more than we do, and no, they did not live as I do. 🌻

[@GaryGeezer-l2s]

Sorry but i strongly disagree with this. The sigma grindset is life. Elon Kusk once said "sigma is the life foce of nature". I will keep on hustling, and using my 9 to 5 to fund my side hustle, which will allow me to max out my reps and go on hoilday in Dubai, whilst driving my Lambo

[@AwakeAble]

You are welcome to disagree. Have a nice holiday 👍
