    The part on suffering is so accurate. We do our absolute best to avoid suffering, generally dragging out & causing more. Once through it there’s always an opportunity for growth/learning..... if we take the decision to find it/learn the lessons.

    I always feel like I've been to the mind gym after watching one of your videos. They are incredibly thought provoking and refreshing. Thank you so much for taking the time to put these together.

    I was alerted to this channel thanks to your last video on your other channel about Burnout. I happened to read Notes From the Underground about a month ago and have been thinking about it since. I only just found these now and it's great to get some insight. Thanks for your lectures on it. I do feel guilty that I'm not actually a student and getting this content for free! It's a different style to your other videos while being familiar.

    That’s why I’m a Jungian and think that he had it right.
    The answer to life is the fusion of the opposites.
    The middle. Pain and suffering is a part of life . Just as
    is joy and happiness. Life then death. Sometimes the scale
    tilts down and sometimes goes up. Temperance , MODERATION !
    We begin…. then we end. What’s in between those 2 points is
    what we call life .

    If you're going to start these lectures with a passage and a book in hand, then you need a pipe, smoking jacket, and a NON-swiveling chair.

      ehm no, the swiveling is absolutely essential
