“There’s no excuse for the man who rejects the truth once it proven.” The only thing that matters in life…is the truth.
🙏
But what about when the "truth" has been falsely "proven" ? What one considers to be proven true another can easily claim the proof was falsified. Not to mention the way the corporate media handles "truth" by twisting it to further an evil agenda.
I disagree. Truth is not what matters most in life. Honor, integrity, sticking to one's morals and ethics even in the face of tyranny. THAT is what's most important in life.
That's *exactly* why we can't excuse the *wokes* ; the ones who believe the Earth is *flat* , and that the Roman empire never existed.
@@neowolf09
That’s interesting, let me ask you this: how does one have honor and not the truth?; how does one have integrity and not the truth?; how does one have moral and ethics and not have the truth?; how does differentiate just rule from tyranny and not have the truth? No, friend, truth is the foundation, walls, and ceiling regarding everything.
@@Priestbokmei1 But what's true to you isn't always true to another.
What's seen as evil to one is seen as good by another.
To know yourself, to know your own truth, and to stick to it in the face of adversity. That is more important. At least from my perspective.
reminds me of something my grandad used to say.
"dont believe something simply because it is written"
I miss him every day, he taught me to think critically and it truely made me a better person.
🙏
Try telling that to Christians
@@MrDeano-eu9rg Or anyone who mindlessly follow the herd. I am Christian. I do not follow the herd. I have a brain that loves to research concepts & theories I've been taught. Please unbias your psychology of this mindless statement regarding Christianity, as your statement can include a variety of religions. Thank you for your time. Have a nice day!
One of my favorites quotes is "Never climb the rootless tree"
I like that a lot 👍
Motto for modern "wamen"....
5:33 wisdom is welcome wherever it comes from? Even when it comes from a enemy? Who brings your own demise??
So to is rootless words.
@@litodito6424 it breaks to "he is a traitor, so how can i trust him". a lier lies, but it is All or nothing on his word
My favorite quote is "Eigi fellr tré við fyrsta högg" or "a tree does not fall with the first blow"
"Where you recognize evil, speak out against it, and give no truces to your enemies." A quote so desperately needed in the West and primarily the Anglosphere.
And in the East as well.
"be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk"
be especially mindful of that in today's world
👍
Amen. Yes
Amen! Spot on
"speak usefully words or be silent"
This has always been me.
What is useful about this egotistical proclamation?
NOT necessarily true. Enjoy speaking anything you want freely and enjoy without any rules as long as you don’t hurt yourself and others. Like making funny jokes and being creative and innovative needs stupidity sometimes
@@priyakulkarni9583 its not like i make an effort to be silent.
I just _am_ silent. 🤷 I just have little desire to speak unless spoken to, or i hear a conversation i reeeally want to join in on. Which is super rare.
No
@Casanova Reserved*
Fixed it for you.
Here's my favorite quote from the Havamal:
"Never walk
away from home
ahead of your axe and sword.
You can't feel a battle
in your bones
or foresee a fight."
Sometimes you know though.
I like that. You could put it next to "the man who carries an axe looking for a fight will always find one".
How could they be so ruthless with such wisdom. They sound so respectful.
🙏
They were historically just as ruthless if not less ruthless than the English of the time. You can't trust everything you see.
History is written by the victors. In the time of the Vikings anything not "Christian" was evil.
@@userjasker76 exactly
Winners write the history, I doubt they would write about how honorable and cool they were
What I love most about the Hávamál is that even if you’re not a Heathen, it’s great advice for anyone to live by.
Agreed
I follow my own path under a adopted personal mantra,
"I follow a path that often brings heartbreak, pain, sometimes even suffering of my physical being but in that suffering and pain I only find who I really am, I am a warrior, i much rather live with pain and suffering but free, rather than remained unharmed and in chains"
-Wayne Jess
I love that philosophy channels are expanding to numerous traditions we really can find universal lessons across all of them 😊🙏
🙏
Indeed
@Beverley L Foster the fuck are you on about?
But are these quotes from real viking sources or are these random quotes that fit into the viking imagine?
@@Getcakedieyoung23 no they’re authentic at least most of them they come from old Norse poems that were found
Ancient wisdom still being shared today. Many would do good to watch this channel.
🙏
I just like that im finally seeing viking quotes and not something that makes me even more depressed than I already am
Fuck depression. Cast away the stones holding you down and start making sacrifices. A busy mind has no time to waste on sadness. For me, my two biggest stones were video games and giving myself unchecked time on the internet.
@@fortyninehike Idle hands.. we all know the rest.
Well here comes depression again. None of these are Viking quotes, there is no record or writings from them. The blue tattoos they supposedly had is even 100% myth. Even the history of Viking pagan beliefs were told by 2 Christian monks who claimed they were met and recorded the story by Asgardians. Vikings left nothing other than carved symbols and stories told of them by others, apparently Vikings are the epitome of not snitching...
@@nooodls1 Very little of what you wrote is true.
The majority of these are from Hávamál, in various verses. They were written down in the Codex Regius and are much older than the book is.
The tattoos were not scandinavian in any way. Those were Pictish or whatever the tribes were that were displaced and bothered by the Romans.
@@nooodls1 ... those blue tattoos are of the picts...
This man could read my shopping list and it would sound awesome.
😂👍
Just what I needed to hear, funny how you stumble upon wisdom like this when considering life decisions.
🙏
this is funny to you?
The universe saw you and heard you when you put out the right energy into it and responded in kind. Universe = Siri 2.0
That's because Google heard u. But it's good to know your not the only one alone in this demon driven paradise we call earth. It was once said to me " a man's worth is only qualifies by his word and actions.
Most incredible words I have ever listened to! Beautiful Viking quotes, well above their own time.
Amen
🙏
Hail Thor, Hail Odin, Hail Freya
Down with the false god, hail the old gods
We all have been lied to about history!Thank you for sharing this friend!
More than ever do we need the wisdom of the ancients in these times of divisiveness
It's interesting to me that people are surprised that ancient people had insight. Other than language and a little cultural variation, there's not a great deal of intellectual or emotional difference between you and I and the ancient Egyptians, or ancient Greeks, or any other people from the distant past. We've had a great deal of technological advancement, but the shared experience of being human is as old as humanity. They've found clay tablets written in cuneiform where people complained about things like not being invited to parties or how much they hated their mother-in-laws. Our earliest ancestors felt love and loss, hate and shame, joy and sorrow, fear and pride--everything a human being can feel, they felt. They recognized the difference between a foolish act and a wise one. They struggled with good and evil. They baked bread, drank beer and wine, argued about politics, cheated on their spouses, worried about their kids--everything that people do, we've always done. All we have that they didn't is a larger accumulation of technical know-how. They were every bit as human as we are, and we are every bit as human as they were. I don't know why, but I find that extremely poignant. You and I are part of something that's been going on longer than anyone could possibly remember, and there's a great deal of hope in that.
I agree Andrew, I just wish we still were limited to swords and bows and medieval weapons (ja it may get to that lol, hope not) but the reason I would prefer that is that you would need to have some guts and skill and the respect and loyalty of your fellow warriors, if you didn't have their respect - there would be a good reason for that, the person would be untrustworthy. - nobody would have your back, and there were severe consequences for being disloyal, especially amongst the other men, cos they kept you alive in shieldwall. In those days Masculinity was respected - because it kept all the people alive, theres nothing toxic about protecting your family and village, but somehow having the propensity and even skill for violence, strategy and tactics (which is a survival skill) is now labelled toxic... so the things that kept us alive until today are labelled evil and rejected. Id like to see how the 'new' virtues hold out for the next 3000 years lol... the most prised virtue in my native culture WAS loyalty - but todays culture has destroyed that, so if civilisation is challenged then those virtues of old will very quickly become important as the communities that embrace them will be the only ones to survive. just my uneducated opinion
I agree to this philosophical words ! Thank you so much for every words !
Wisdom that many young people today could certainly use...
"All a people need in order to rise up against tyranny is a leader bold enough to take up the banner"
I'll have to write all these down. So good.
🙏
I resonate with all these ancient sayings❤️🪐🦋💪

Beautiful said
I Love this. Thank you for putting this together, Orion Philosophy.
No worries 👍

To the *worthwhile person* seeing this, your dream is not dead. Don’t allow the past and current pains and hurts stop and define you. You’re more than a conqueror. Rise up and put yourself together.

Back at you
Loving these videos mainly because I like philosophies and different mythologies along side the fact that the videos are both well done and mostly if not exactly true great work man keep it up
I just found this channel and i love it.
Sooooo gratefull I ve come across you again....sitting in dispair ..working to shift my energy ..I sat just now and listened to your episode of Indian proverbs and then these...screen shot many...and filled my heart with provoking where there was only sadness and a leaning to give up....💫🌕🖤🌕💫
Thanks for watching, there's always a way forward, we just need to find it 🙏
Wise words indeed, Skål!
🍻
Skål!
Very well spoken. And thank you for sharing this.
🙏
Best word I ever heard

“ keep your wits about when the world is calm. For there is a storm ahead “
Thanks for posting and sharing ancient thoughts and memories
It's interesting to find yourself living by these "rules" of common sense before you've even learned them.
There are MANY more great quotes in the poetic eda (I think that's what it's called) which is supposedly words written by Odin himself to teach people these common sense thought processes.
Great video. 👍
The Poetic Edda, and all other Eddas and Sagas, are written by man. The Havamal is the book allegedly written by Odin.
The Eddas were written by men. The Havamal is a collection of the thoughts of Odin.
@@starcommandstudios8545 The Hávamal appears in the Poetic Edda bud, plus the ancient Norse didn't write, they spoke of tales through oral tradition, there was never any Hávamal "book", the original text is in the Codex Regius manuscript.
@@ultimatevtgb7551 there's places to finds such proof know where to look and you will find the gods at the highest peak. here's you're first clue
Love it thanks for posting.
It was strange to come across this. I was drawn to a ring a few days ago, I thought nothing much of it, but It had an almost anchor shape with letters that looked much like the ones in the quote headers.
Just took a gander, and realized now that it is Norse inspired.
Very enjoyable video to watch overall.
🙏
@@OrionPhilosophy Thank you kindly.
The shape you saw was a rendition of Mjolnir, Thor's hammer.
Thank you O sharp one. Stay strong as an old tree an am great full I learned from they an from many other great deep rooted trees. How I thank they very humbly.. Our word is our bond. It's very important to me. Freedom isn't free. As the things we not let them see is how deep they roots be.
such wise words in the time of no common sense or decency to our fellow persons. Love these types of videos, very educational
🙏
You mean like today?
@@georgelenny1694 name a time when common sense was genuinely commonly found amongst people.
Don't worry. I'll wait.
@@neowolf09 August 6th 1945 8:16 AM
@@georgelenny1694 Too specific, I call cap.
Thank you for that video.
Those lines give a lot of chills. 👍💪
🙏 no worries
I find it amazing that these words are a thousand years, or more, old. Everything I have seen and heard here, applies to today. Many a leader and politician could benifit from heeding them.
Certain 'leaders' in the world today spring to mind.
What I find strangest of all is, we would consider the speaker(s) barbarians. (No, not strange; more laughable and ironic).
Only just found this channel. More, please.
Shalom

LOVE it. Keep it coming! New subscriber.
Welcome 🙏
Great video as always ♥️

Good reading, and advice
Thank you!
I never really truly knew where I fitted in. I swear this video helped me out alot.
I felt like the last one really spoke to me
I can appreciate the diverse philosophical traditions in which this channel samples. I enjoy even further that they are kept to their borders. Great folly comes with the fallacy of the melting pot. in the melting pot there is no distinction or respect for the ingredients. offered as they are on this channel as separate and distinct their wisdom shines for any to recognize. I shall hope throughout my life that the folkish View of heathen re-remains to combat a Universalist corruption.
Well spoken words friend. You make a good point.
Infinite diversity tends to reduce all of humanity to one great rudderless grey mulch with neither respect nor appreciation for heritage and culture. So much is lost and destroyed in a melting pot.
To have Deez nuts or not have Deez nuts is the question.
However there is a time and place to be loud.
That's how I would cliff notes this
@@katelawlor9610 💕
if anyone is looking for more of these most of these saying seem to be from the havamal, regarded as words from a wise wanderer/ Odin
I recognize several of these In the Hávamál.
There are no excuse in every reaches, others that are silent causes much misunderstanding, by knowing, you seek to give valuable answers to others and those that are willing know the truth
Some lies are truth and one must take and pass the test on the lies we're thought or fail.
Thank you so much 🥰 knowledge.
No worries 👍

Too bad Catholics didn't see it that way back in the day. ...they still don't, at times.
@@Vikingr4Jesus5919 asuch as I love hating on the early Christian church, and I do, i did bring a certain uniformity to Europe.
@@jaygee2116 but *not* the good kind; the Abrahamic religions, and all societies founded on their doctrines are *very tyrannical* in nature. Always have been.
@@ezrafaulk3076 I'm not arguing with you. It just has created some common ground for all European cultures to center around. All I'm saying.

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
There's a lot of versions of that same idea.
But its good to know them in their different context, as they apply to different aspects of duties, tasks, principles and goals.
One has to have them woven in wisdom, not simply look at how they are similar. To what are you going to use each one and apply them. Thats the point. You cannot say rome was not built in a day and have that applied to someones certain time frame or goal, for its context is way out of range, these philosophers are talking specifics on different yet more useful aspects.
If some people would have had these type of knowledge and wisdom, they may not have given up on their goals. Alot of us quit when it's tough, like Thomas Edison said, Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up and Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
One must learn either to pace themselves with diciplined planning and action, and or ask for help, have the right counsel, and right resources, this is not a easy task for some people, most of us hit a wall and get discouraged, some quit, yet these philosophers and prophets and business men show us many have faced similar tasks and have overcome them, we must be the ones to overcome our goals as well.
@@connorstar164 gonna saved this so i can read it and remember
@@soulextract640 In a general sense, i like to stick with the more modern guys, which is related to more business aspects, it sparks quicker processing, thats why I wouldnt wanna make it a vendetta to dive too much into these historical philosophers, but some of their teachings is to a degree astounding and useable in other areas of our lives.
To make it seem doable, they remind me of having callused thought, a structure for your mind, like Marcus Tellius said, a room without books is like a body without a soul.
Jim rhon says that all the time, you can tell and gauge alot about a man of woman, by looking into their library. Which is a part of their mental factory, he use to read the newspapers, and news about random tragedies, which depletes our focus and drives us of course, while he became stoutly efficient in work and habits, and fundamental by reading and being around more productive goal driven people.
We too must do that constantly and consistently to grow and gain more knowledge and wisdom more so applicable ones. Not random ones but useable ones we can practice.
I Am light
I Am Love
I am Truth
We can only pray for that.
