@@SoferiaNebruin Well, we will still feel the pain from it and it affects us physically, but, but the disturbed inner peace results from a mental reaction to the pain. The "disliking" of it so to speak. By not reacting mentally, there is pain, but no suffering!
@@TheDhammaHub Yikes....that feels like some of that cognitive dissonance I mentioned in my other comment. I do think we can mentally block pain during traumatic events, but it still gets stored in the subconscious mind and can affect us even without our knowledge.....some of the ancient wisdom knowledges stress the importance of clearing out the "subconscious barns." I would think that means being conscious of the pain and suffering in order to release it......I think this is a very complex topic actually. I don't claim to have the answers and am just exploring ideas. Thank you for your reply!
@@SoferiaNebruin I dont know about buddhist thought, but with the stoics your physical body is outside of your control. Your pain is something that makes living harder. A full sage would be unaffected by all externals, including pain. However being a sage is just a target, not something obtainable, save perhaps in the very moment of death.
Stoicism is about control and serenity. This doesn’t mean, absolutely, being emotionless. But it does mean not being consumed and defeated by emotions and feelings.

Struggle is the father of all things, one must prepare for uncertainty and hard times so that when the rain comes and wind blows, he stands atop a rock, unshaken.
I've been a practicing Stoic for a few years now, starting with my reading of Irvine's "A Guide to the Good Life." It has become increasingly difficult as the disintegration of the American empire seems to have accelerated, and "the lunatics have taken over the mad house (errr, ahhh, the mental facility)." So I am happy to view your videos that remind me of the Stoic virtues of Wisdom, Justice, Courage, and Moderation. But it is still difficult not to get angry at Fools, the Unjust, Cowards, and the Immoderate when confronted by them almost daily--particularly when they are working against the Common Good. Thank you, and cheers from Wisconsin.
A good way to not get angry at the people you mentioned is to realise that you also fit into their categories (sometimes). Just think to yourself: who is getting up today, steeling themselves and getting ready to deal with ME?
I love stoicism but it stops short of a relationship with A personal God. Jesus is the epitome’ of it all of this-plus His dependence on a Loving God who cares about each person. I think God answers prayer, and the anger, bitterness & pain ease, ee can forgive out enemies knowing the same seed of ugliness exists in every human being snd by Gods grace we do not behave as the worst of other human beings… even can become masters of overwhelming emotions, when we seek & ask for help. Just my opinion. Blessings~
I love the third point the most. It's the realization that there's a difference between reality and our perception of reality. It's powerful and that makes it the kind of thing that can control us or something that we have the power to control.
Being this way most of the time, what I've experienced though, is that the more one knows how to handle life, our emotions and all, and come out of hardships as good as untouched or stronger, well, the Universe serves me even harder lessons yet to take on! Ugh! I've come to understand that it's kind of a never ending story, until passing! But, I do find life should become easier and lighter with age. I've skimmed a lot, and that's already much better! I'm out of the rat race! Hurray!
Hi again ! This stoic "lesson" I believe, is one of the Best You send out to us ! Yes, I have been practising stoic ways for quite some time now, as Mr.Tolle also is talking With true heart about stoicism. So I have 2 good teachers now apart from Nature 🌔😊🤗😷🐿🌾
What a great way of living. In the end it is all about attitude. Unfortunate events can transform you into a person that is much stronger than before if you let them.
I think I live sort of a stoic life. This video gave me a good understanding about stoicism and how it ties into my beliefs. Thank you for the great video.
Thank you for posting this at just the right minute, I've spent the last month trying to avoid political news and I saw your video just before I clicked on another. :) Hard to avoid chaos these days but stoicism has served me well
Thanks Einzelganger for another profound and thought provoking video. These videos of yours have given me access to schools of wisdom that I'd never been aware of before.
Thank you very much for all your work for us! It had and still helps me a lot on my way to try to live life as she appears to me. Very good material for intelectual or mental and emotional and spiritual health. Thank you very much! 🙏
I need this info. in times like these where there is global warming threats, AI taking people’s jobs, record number of debt, inflation still high, and houses becoming unaffordable, it feels like we have control over nothing. thank you for helping me with this
I start each day being so thankful that I've been born in the time and place I have been. I have every reasonable explanation to never have to burry any of my three children. This is a world my ancestors could have only dreamed of.
Thank you for your videos, quality, and contents!🙌🌌❤ You make complex and difficult topics easier to understand! The pace in you videoes are calming and the right speed; it's easy to follow and take in each word.
Sometimes I feel too much progressivism creates too much uncertainty which in turn causes too much stress. Given that society changes so quickly now the lack of continuity is a major stressor on humanities overall mental health. Coupled with the ability to see all the uncertainty in the world all at once via the internet we are experiencing something never before experienced by human beings and certainly not something that’s “in accordance with nature”
I’m following several channels like this and you’ve really nailed the audio quality - there’s no echo or reverb, the frequencies are well balanced and the music isn’t invasive. What’s the secret? Can you share your recording setup and/or location? These other channels could definitely use some tips. ✌🏻
I am so happy I found this channel and stoicism in general. It's like hes speaking to me. Incredible. Though I imagine I'm not the only one who feels this way. I need to do some serious growth and this is putting it all into perspective. I'm lost and need to figure life out.
Not every stoic practiced what they preach. Even though they have a lot of wisdom and principles, but to actually put it in practice is a completely different story. It requires exceptional determination that only a few are able to.
The teachings of the great stoics are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. The physical body may have gone but their consciousness never will. That will exist forever and as there is only one consciousness that wisdom is within us all. It’s within every living thing for we are all one. We all come from and will return to the same place. Just stop and take a minute to see how all in nature is so intricately connected. 🙏🏼❤️
I thought about it for a long time I'm and here is my result: nothing changes besides science, maybe one day day the human consciousness will evolve and we will start behaving differently for a Golden Age of compassion to occur, we will see.
This is a very useful summary of important principles to lead a peaceful and happy life! I guess I am already kind of a stoic person 😉 because I take life as it comes without worrying too much. The best attitude is that of a child who while peacefully playing lives totally in the presence. If you always worry about the future and are afraid of becoming old, then you will automatically become old much faster. I rarely watch TV, because the daily news about terrible happenings all over the world only make us worry too much and there’s nothing we can do about it anyway. I think life was much easier a century before us, when people had no TV and no Internet. It is a natural fact that life is limited and I’m not afraid about death. It is our thoughts which make us unhappy, not what is happening in real. What I found interesting in this lecture is the statement that our mind is capable of turning fantasy into reality. This can be a gift, but also end in a nightmare. The best remedy is to always observe our thoughts and stay focused on the present. Then we can avoid ending up in a carousel of thoughts which make us sleepless and from which it is difficult to escape.
Thank you for this video. I needed this yesterday. It calms me now that I am missing someone. I guess he just passed my life and walked on. Just glad for the happy moments.
I love this video stoicism is one of my favorite my Goal is to be like my favorite Marcus Auerluis I pray i get to visit where he ruled he was the last ruler and my favorite stoicism has given me peace and tranquility thanks for opening my mind.
Thank you so much! I was feeling a deep anxiety because I have to finish my thesis, in philosophy by the way, and I just stopped. The fear of failure and many other (imaginary) possibilities had me paralized. Now, I feel like it's simply another event on my life. Important, but no definitive of who I am.

Genuine question: How does this fit into the lives of people whose lives are genuinely being undermined and abused? I guess I’m coming from the standpoint of not wanting to lose my shit but also wanting to improve this world for the next generation to come. It’s hard for me to balance thinking we really don’t matter but wanting peoples’ lives to matter for themselves for the betterment of everyone. Does that even make sense?
there will be anecdotes and exceptions, but i think it becomes a matter of personal responsibility in wanting your livelihood to be better, we use whatever tools we have at our disposal to make that happen, but they are all in essence concepts, even under extreme duress, immediate action that helps the situation would be preferable over endless rumination, (again there are exceptions - for example kidnapping and torture), the point of stoicism now becomes, how do you experience 'your experiences'? it is not less important the ends', as it is experiencing the means.
"It's not the events that disturb us." "adversity can make us stronger". Think about the problems differently and accept them, and you'll see how your mind will be more resilient. Also, try to live in the present so you perform as well as you can without suffering about the past or worrying about the future.
The thought that we dont matter is also just a thought. That what really is is the present moment. So focus on the joy in the present moment. (Not joy in a exclusively hedonistic way). I would recommend some eckhart Tolle at this point.
Fantastic! Stoicism is so valuable and something I'm routinely incorporating as part of my life (I actually released a few videos on the topic myself of late)
