    In today's fast-paced world, the race to achieve, control, and grasp often leaves us exhausted and unfulfilled. But what if the secret to true success and happiness lies in a paradoxical truth? Dive deep with us as we explore the enigmatic concept of the Backwards Law. From ancient Eastern philosophies to modern-day psychological insights, discover why sometimes, letting go can be the key to unlocking your greatest potential.
    In this video:
    Delve into the historical roots of the Backwards Law, tracing its presence in Zen Buddhism and Taoism.
    Understand the psychological implications of overtrying and how it impacts our choices and performance.
    Reflect on the challenges of our "always-on" modern culture and its effects on our well-being.
    Listen to poignant real-life stories that highlight the profound impact of this principle in personal and professional spheres.
    Equip yourself with actionable steps, from mindfulness exercises to journaling prompts, to integrate this wisdom into your daily life. Join us in this transformative journey and uncover the profound realization that in the dance of life, sometimes less is truly more.

      I been studying philosophy for 15 years and this is the clearest and on point explanation of the backwards law I have ever come across!... and I've seen/heard/read a lot of them.

    No matter what life has put you through, no matter what adversities are blocking your path or who's giving you trouble, you are your own worst enemy, and you alone have more potential to fuck yourself over than all other factors combined. Likewise, you're also you're own best friend, and you alone can change your life for the better and you alone have more potential than any other factor to give yourself an ideal life. You just have to ask yourself, what is ideal?

    You can do both. I don't think you need to extinguish all desires and definitely not kill one's ego

    • @russy428
      @russy428 7 місяців тому +1

      I think that ego's are multifaceted. As humans our psychological conditions are spread across a holistic spectrum. The video asks us to analyse actions for e.g; A dictator may search that part of his ego which causes oppression thereby great human loss.

    The backwards law says you should not watch this video but run far away from it on order to understand it

    Question. How do you combine the backwards law of letting everything be & flow with awareness and visualization/action to bring about the law of attraction? Does the law of attraction gel with the backwards law, or are they opposites in that they can't be applied together?
    Or do you simply let things flow and accept them for what they are while spending time meditating awareness of breath, visualizing the success in your mind, and going out and putting effort into something without trying to force an outcome (Just going out and doing things like working/saving $/making a business plan) but not paying any mind to the success/failure, and just letting the outcome be? Anybody with knowledge and real-life experience with this mind elaborating on what they've experienced?

      From what I understand, the point behind the law of attraction is that the effort you are putting in is not to deliberately attract your desire, the effort is put into bettering yourself for your own benefit, and as a natural consequence, people will be attracted and want to be a part of it.

      Your right, finding a complete presence, that is where time itself is neither past or future, can be beyond a frantic mind.

      @russy428 oh yes, that's so Deep ,probably the my past keeps popping up in my head and seems too not have a future to forwards on

      Aye, we can only try to make now count, like your last message left you in the presence of the now that you wrote it. In respect of this, right now is all that we have the power to shape.

      You can't reap what you sow if the seeds aren't fertilised properly.
