A rephrasing of your statement could be “we create monsters out of the things we do pay attention to too much”. It is our focus and intense concentrated thinking that creates monsters. Observe this. To think of something is to know it. The Faustian pact.
That was a beautiful introduction to Nietzsche's thoughts. "A child doesn't knock down a castle of bricks because he despises it, but because he wasn't to build something new."
The Divine Child archetype pairs well with this mentioned last stage of development. It also blends with Jung's idea that in order for a man to reach his whole/Holy form, he must reclaim the Divine Child archetype he lost, yet combine it with the realized man he's become. In this way, he transcends. I guess this idea from Nietzsche was a building block for that idea.
Imagine getting excited by a video title because you mistook it to be a reference to "the office" to then understand you're stupidly mistaken AND YET the video you end up watching is a hundred times better than anything you originally expected to watch. Jokes aside, brilliant work as always. We all should strive for the Nativity in the child's creation to motivate us in this world
Haha no way! It's bizarre you say that I was just sitting down to (finally) watch the last episode of The Office for the first time. God I love Dwight Schrute he's his own sort of Ubermensch 🤣 thanks again

LOTR would have a lot to say About this. It talks about this :) In metaphorical context of course. Aragorn(lion), Gimli (camel, most elves too), Frodo and the other hobbits (the child). And there's even a scene of Arargorn, the Lion, who has just transcended, realizing this fully and kneeling to the Hobbits (the archetype of the child) and his Own Inner Child, during his coronation. Tolkien was freaking brilliant
Tolkien was freaking amazing. I'm glad I can agree with you on that. I strongly disagree with your LOTR interpretation - Tolkien was most certainly a "Camel" if using Nietzsche's mode of thought. His LOTR books a (not so) subtle devotional work. Dude was a strong traditional Catholic lol.
I read this chapter in thus spoke zarathustra when I was 16, I couldn’t find myself to understand it. Now I’m 18, I keep thinking back to it now that I have more responsibilities and experience. It’s the concept of “the camel” that interested me, I guess im in that phase where I struggle to carry the burden of responsibilities and resisting my urges, those things the camel successfully or at least tries to do. Discipline, Embodying virtues and values, having mental strength, resisting temptations…
I read the book for the first time in Arabic, there's an excellent translation for it, and it uses the word " heavy " not " difficult " and I really dig that, I'm wondering why you've chosen the word " difficult " sir, I'm not a native speaker of English, but I'm an English studies student at the university, so it's important for me to clarify this, as for me the word heavy is more poetically accurate to the metamorphosis of the camel. Thank you for the great work you're providing sir, hearted thanks.
Indeed, heavy is more apropriate for the camel metaphor. In original German Nietzsche uses the word "Schwer", which can be translated as heavy, hard, or difficult. If you look at the text more directly, heavy is better, as camels have to carry heavy burdens litteraly put on their backs - but don't forget that this is still a metaphor. Nietzsche is talking about our "Geist" (Soul, mind, or even ghost or spirit) as being camel-like; he is probably hinting at psychological obstacles, duties, and difficulties we have to put with and carry on our minds "as our burdens". And that is the first stage vefore you can abolish those and then become the creative "Geist". Although that is just one of many interpretations. I recently found interesting idea, that Thus Spoke Zarathustra (in which this triade of metamorphosis occurs) is a journey of uncovering one's subncosciousness and that all the metaphors are meant to signify a part of this journey. Thus: it might be a very personal (and intimate) part of this path that each one of us has to partake - and it is upon our *hard* work of introspection to figure out the exact meaning of each metaphor. And if this case is correct, then difficult is also a plausible translation that hints at this introspection aspect more directly. Anyways, I hope this somehow helps. (Sorry for misspells, as I'm sure there are many, and for me not being as clear as I'd like, but this is as most comprehensively explained as I can explain it right now.)
And just like that, I now understand Kubrick's Space Odyssey! - thanks for the insight. My copy of Zarathustra has been waiting for this Frankenstein's-monster-of-a-camel to trot past page 75 for far too long. This video places Nietzsche at the top of my reading list.
Haha yeah it's really not a canon that's drawn on often but there's a few nuggets like this that I've come across that I absolutely adore. Plenty of archetypal riches in the book of mormon
Beautifully layed out, you create a marriage of spiritual and rational discourse that always evokes big perspectives and grand holistic visions. I cannot help but to think that, out our own path as a species towards transcendence, our circle of empathy grows with the meeting of new perspectives and modes of living, expanding our awareness to the heavens and finally becoming each, its own universe where we will all meet again as each and as all.
"Making the journey beyond the Camel" is to become it, and then open up the possibility through its nature to allow for change. Our understanding of Liberation matures this way; breaking free is breaking through.
Great video - thank you for sharing such valued content. This reminds of Otto Ranks' critique of Freudian and Jungian psychology. That the unconscious is not some terrible dark attic or nightmare realm, but more the repressed or oppressed creative child.

I am fascinated that we just quoted the Book of Mormon without any explanation, caveat, or justification. As an ex-Mormon, I think this is a very good phenomenon. It’s just a book. Thank you for this and the whole excellent vid
Indeed Abe. To me it's just another book from humanity's wisdom tradition and it's weird in a way that it usually is given some caveat beforehand. For me it's just about whether here is a resonance of wisdom in the thing and not about its place in the cultural canon 🤔
The meaning of life is to complete three stages as a peaceful warrior. The first one is to win the one within ourselves.( self improvement, courage, discipline,etc) The second stage is to help win the battles of those closest to us.( family,partner,children, friends, community) The third stage is the convince all those winners to give into one last battle. To defeat the societal ego's and guide it against nihilism. Hope for a better future. ( Procreate, Built, Preach,Defend)
Wow man. James, I had to watch it again. I’m very impressed. You really nailed it, no pun really intended. Keep going man, you see it. I was just talking with a friend about spiritual edging. We love edging. It’s a beautiful thing:)
This breakdown was absolutely wonderful! I love how you compared to different ages having different means of understanding. For me, I see you such a growth happening within one's own lifetime often especially in training in the martial arts. At first, we take on the burden to be the camel and go through rigorous training to help strengthen the spirit and the body then we become the lion that chooses to use its Force make a name for itself or protect themselves or others. Then one becomes old but lighthearted in their training not because they are not as physically capable but because they have gained the wisdom to not take it so seriously and to enjoy themselves along the way. It is often said in the martial arts community that in order to learn something new one has to empty their cup and that is akin to tearing down the sand castle. It is a great and difficult thing for an old dog to learn new tricks but it is possible if they empty their cup. I guess this is why we are born blind, dumb and Toothless only to grow up blind, dumb and Toothless.
Life is learning and growing from each other. As we climb deeper meaning what we are bringing the unconscious to conscious. Very enlightening video and nicely done. Thank you. 🌹

Wow, man, thank you so much for this video! And as I was saying: it's much, much, much easier to follow your narration without interruption and switching to perception of a speaking human being😅 It really takes a lot to concentrate while listening and trying to conceive all the full-packed information you're delivering and trying not to pay attention to somebody's appearance or something else. Good job as always!
Glad you enjoyed it Ramil! My present thinking on your feedback is that I am going to be more thoughtful about the talking head. I'm going to include it when it has something to do with me i.e. when it is my opinion or my take on the content that is being discussed. I think it's good to be more intelligent about it and to think about what I'm doing with it rather than seeing it as the default canvas that everything else is painted on (which is kind of the journey of the channel from the beginning). So thank you for your input it's stimulated a lot in me!
@@TheLivingPhilosophy I'm really glad to read that, and I have huge respect for your ability to listen to the feedback you get and to make thoughtful changes to the way you used to do things! I think that the way of using "the talking head" - is the best because then it will be completely fine to watch you talking about something without the need to focus on some abstract thoughts. Also, it's always great to watch somebody's natural talk, when a person is expressing his/her thoughts in a way of normal speech but not in a form of reading some written text like a robot, haha) I really hope that this change will stimulate growth for the channel!💪🏻 Wish you the best!
@@ramilurazmanov Thank you although I should add that while I will be using the talking head more intelligently I won't be going back to ad-libbing that part. It will still be scripted (although I do admit I want to improve my delivery skills but am not quite sure how to be honest) so it still won't be normal/conversational speech
@@TheLivingPhilosophy You didn't ask me for advice and I'm not gonna give you any but I definitely can share my own experience with you, and maybe it will be helpful. When I was recording my online course - first I was trying to write down the script and remember it word for word by heart. It was literally horrible because of two reasons. 1. I was really nervous. I was nervous due to the fact that I have to say it word for word and I was afraid to forget something, and I was forgetting, which pissed me off. But the second factor that had a huge impact on my nervousness was my fixation on the camera. Gosh, it was so unnatural and uncomfortable to be looking at the same spot for minutes. I suppose that this reaction is deeply biological. When humans were staring at one point for some lengthy time during evolution? When they were chasing something they needed or were expecting something bad to happen by the appearance of something/someone. It's okay that my fight-or-flight response was activated during my staring at the camera. So, then I watched videos of guys like Matt D'Avella, Nathaniel Drew, Better Ideas, Thomas Frank, and others. I saw that they weren't looking at the camera all the time, and when I started to let myself look at other objects and etc - I felt such a relief. 2. It was always visible that I'm reading some written text. Yeah, it's always clear when somebody is just saying a written text (remembered or with help of a teleprompter) and it's harder to comprehend this sort of speech. I don't know why but it is as it is. Then I also realized that the guys I've mentioned - definitely had well-thought and written scripts but their strategy was different. They are remembering some key points and then just go through these points in their usual way of talking to somebody, and it makes videos vivid and easy to digest right away. So I started to do it in the same way and it worked pretty well for me. I hope my experience will be useful to you!
@@ramilurazmanov Thanks Ramil. When I moved from the first 100 days of videos and went to making one or two videos a week I was trying what you were saying and I jut found that it was all over the place. Maybe it's a bit about practice as well but I just wasn't happy with the production quality. This quality improved a lot once I moved to a script. I'm curious to look at these other creators to see what they are doing. There's definitely more there to experiment with. As for the unnatural sounding-ness I think that's to do with a fundamental difference between the written and spoken word. It seems like they should be the same but one thing I've come to realise is that they really are not. I've noticed that when I am speaking off the cuff there are no full stops it is a series of looping and jumping that gets there. I dunno. I think if I research it more will emerge but it's definitely not clear to me what the right answer is and so for now I'm happy to stick with the highest production value I've come across thusfar and that's the script
Excellent video & explanation. Love the way you tie the concept into memetics toward the end! Also have to say - the ambient music is a welcome addition and it really goes to enhance my focus! Keep it up man.
Ah thank you! Yeah I've always had it there in the background but have been afraid of having it drown or distract from the point. I'm experimenting a bit more the last couple of episodes with being a bit more confident with it and creating more of a soundscape so the positive feedback is much appreciated!
The Camel reminds me of "My burden is easy, my yoke is light." The Morman metal bar reminds me of the Tang Dynasty Zen Master Seccho's "An iron bar without a hole." Plus the story of the Ox Herder process. The Lion is freedom. Freedom from what? From an "I". A false I, a limiting I, it is a lie that freedom is in an I. The monk pupil asks the master what to do with the self, with the I. The master responds, confused. "The self? What would you want a self for?" The Dalai Lama points this very same thing out as being the way to which you break the rules properly. "Spirit and Strength." This is the alchemical fire stage of the Lion. To turn lead into gold, you must first have pure lead, nothing else. How much do you love the world? How much do you love this self you created, this "son" of yours? To free your true essence, you must "So love the world that you give it to your only begotten son." If you want to know what it's going to take to let go, to stop holding on for dear life, this is how you do it. This is the battle. The answer to what is it going to take is "everything". This is the only true "safe space". Only the Child understands. What you allow you transcend. Transcendence allows you to "Play in the Kingdom". It is in consciousness alone that we are all on a level playing field. Consciousness is what Heraclitus identified with because that is what he meant by fire. That's why the first thing, what is established first is Being itself, Awareness. Once that is established, freedom and play become possible. Hence, as I recently shared with you, "God was created in the process of creating us." The "Child" is the pure Archetype "Consciousness", unconsciousness is unknown, not non-existant, but merely not known to the child. No scale is added to what is not known, or perhaps it is better to say not identified with. The "Childs" very Being, "Awareness" Itself, is always permanently established. The Child cannot non-exist itself. Here is the prophet, the sage, the avatar, the Jesus, the Buddha, Tao, Sufi etc. With this anchor the Child is moored to the Sea Bottom, the "Depth Impenetrable", the Mystery, the Abyss, Existence or Awareness Itself. We're fuckin' brilliant!
The "meme" that took me beyond the camel, and opened the lion stage for me, is Human Design. I can see the child in the horizon. It is all attainable now.
@The Living Philosophy “One can ignore reality as much as one desires and pleases, however what one will never be able to ignore is the inevitable crashing consequences of ignoring reality “
This is a little advanced for me but the phenomenal structure of the video made it incredibly intriguing. I'm looking forward to checkout more of your videos and the potential growth that comes from watching them. Cheers bruv
This reminds me of the fourth turning. I believe the fourth turning is very relevant and those turning exist in a much larger turning and this may be that nice larger turning. Very interesting.

"In the modern world it is the husk of Christianity." Then in the post modern world, would it be the husk of science without spirituality that we would be shuffling off?
As of now I am but a child trying to peek in to the rooms of philosophy and stoicism I am trying to become the camel as I strive to be more than I am now I thank you for your passing of knowledge
Transformative journey from dutiful submission to truth bearing to the ideal against the corrupt to transcendence of it and the emergence of a new realised and powerful form.
All who listens to this and concentrate on every word is the betterment of you,however, you will have forgotten every word the following day and go about your lives. Have love within yourself and do away with your constant meddling Thoughts and you will experience Happiness throughout your lives . This world isn't here to harm you but all live their lives within their mind/thoughts. Your mind;filled with negative thoughts-Fear,Anxiety,Anger,depression)is your downfall. You must be the master of your mind and control it,not your mind controlling you. Follow this path within YOU,not the path of philosopher's;it only works for them.
Haha!! You noticed! I told you I was inspired by your work! Now if only I could manage to integrate the other million skills you have I'd be looking good!
Child is spiritual birth and a a realisation you were there at the beginning of the universe because its the same way you experienced your formation as a human which is stored in the memory of your subconscious
I was surprised that you didn’t mention the most renowned tablets - the Ten Commandments- that shaped Western Civilization. Certainly, these are the Thou Shalts that Nietszche was alluding to in Zarathustra. It is Judaism that gave birth to Christianity which changed the world completely, putting the individual at the center of his actions. That is perhaps the most revolutionary concept put forward by Judaism - the individual and ultimately responsible for their actions. Which is legacy is completely bora of this concept of a tech service step further.
Yes really! Initially felt uneasy with the accent then realized I have almost the same accent.......hence familiar. I wonder what your thoughts are on E M Coiran? That'd be great to hear your take on the euphoric pessimist🙂
@@itsmeitsme99 Haha really? I guess it is a weird accent and I'm not too taken with it myself but for now it'll have to do! I know almost nothing about Cioran. Been meaning to listen to Philosophize This's episodes on him but haven't got round to it yet. Mightbe worth an episode though sounds like it should be interesting though I know almost nothing about the man but I have to say euphoric pessimist sounds right up my street
@@itsmeitsme99 Okay I'm just after reading his wikipedia page and I'm totally sold I think I might get my hands on one of his books of aphorisms and maybe do a profile on him as part of the existentialist arc I'm currently contemplating thanks for the nudge on him
@@TheLivingPhilosophy Wow, that was quick! Sounds like you are a ravenous reader. The Trouble With Being Born, and, my favourite, A Short History of Decay might be a good place to start.

Until I started watching videos like this and reading/ listing to more of Nietzsche. I now realize this was my journey to make my own values, my own principles to live by. To follow those principles I have for myself. To one day pass those principles on to my children. They will keep the ones they like, and the ones that won't suit them for the future they will find themselves in. They will discard, because they will have grown past me. I get more and more excited everyday only being 28. Knowing one day I will get to watch my children outshine me. My father was afraid of his children outshining his pathetic existence. It wasn't very hard for my brother and I to do. His greatest fears have come true and he doesn't even know it yet. My greatest joy was my father's greatest fear. Funny how that happened. Very funny, quite the joke.
What is self-actualization, other than the ability to be happy and a good person, without the need for anything the material world offers you. To transcend the mind by means of fully surrendering your ego and adhering to the natural hierarchy of the universe as it came directly from Gods hand
People sleepwalk. People bake cakes while they’re sleeping and have no idea who made the cake when they wake up. People that take Ambien are warned about sleep-driving. How do they know where the eggs are when sleep-baking? How do they know where the keys are when sleep-driving. Assuming the ego is not present while sleepwalking or driving we seem to do a lot better without the fear and the emotion of the ego. Any advice on how to achieve self actualization would be helpful to me. It’s a very interesting topic. I like what you said there.
@@Mark.Allen1111 It’s not something that can be taught, you have to discover it for yourself. My best line of advice is to call everything you understand to be true into question by directly engaging with the things you hate most. Dip deep into yourself and ask “Why are things the way that they are?”
At one point of my life I was the camel. I never did become a lion but I am now on that same path and will soon become complete the process once again. My spiritual path is something I am close to again.
I think it’s important to test grand theories like this. Also, this guy ended up nuts. I understand that an idea has an existence separate to the individual who birthed the idea, but we can consider him as a sample size of 1. Also, modern understanding of values understands that values do have a biological base. For example different personality traits are highly correlated with dispositions towards certain political values. We also know that biology makes up about 45-55% of our personality traits. Another point I’d like to make is that the understanding of tablets as value systems is a bit ambiguous. Consider that values are not created, they exist. Different value system can be created by weighting and combining different existing values. But that is not pure creation. That is creativity and experimentation. Therefore, this idea really doesn’t contend with the deepest part of the issue. Values are not created. Think about that for while before you respond to this comment.
I like that you included memes, but I think not everyone is familiar with their meaning used by Dawkins. Perhaps a video on memes would be interesting. It can be grouped with your other video on humans as bacteria, which I also enjoyed.
Very true Daniel. I could do with the deep dive on it myself. I've had his Selfish Gene on the bedside locker a long time so it's about time I go through it. Seems like a very important angle triangulating what the channel has been exploring this year

This's by far the most influential video you made, and it came at the right moment in my life. I can't thank you enough. I have a thought I would like to entertain, what if the ideology of Metamorphoses were accepted by the majority and thus it transfers into the Dragon? How will things operate? Will it collapse on itself?
Ah I'm delighted to hear it Taha! That's awesome. I think in our individualistic culture the ideology of self-creation and transcending authority already is accepted. And I think it has somewhat been integrated into the dragon but the dragon is a tricky beast and we don't see how even this goal of individuation is in itself a value of tyranny in our way. At least that's the first thought that comes to my mind
Amazing interpretation of Nietzche. Most often we hear of the Übermensch in utterly ruthless, inhumane terms. Thanks. Is the Übermensch in any way related to the dark subconscious side? Both seem to have colossal energy?
Human rules never made sense to me, but it was only when I stopped trying to understand them, and rather live according to my own, that I found peace, because my current values are not evolved from older ones, but based on new ideas not tainted by primitive dogma. Humanity can recreate itself, and should, rather than evolve from the mistaken form that lead us to the present. ✌️💚🖖
I relate to this metaphorical story. I was easily manipulatable and went through lots of suffering to finally evolve myself into the lion and I felt this is better self of me but felt unimportant since no more dragon showed up after I wasn’t able to chase away them. so that I started a new journey to peeling another layer of me that I myself am strange to.
Coconut Head!! That's one hell of a throwback for a username. Amazing. I'm delighted my video could have made the day of one so distinguished as yourself!
“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”(Rev. 5:5 KJV) Christ is the Lion in Scripture. I wonder if Nietzsche knew this.
I've never been linear i really think i am a trinity of those metamorphosis Therefore I think i need to create new categories Since i don't believe in something that doesn't describe me I see myself rather as a motion or a xenomorphic chameleon Great video tho dude I struggle with reading a lot so it's great having those videos
I went through all those steps years ago, and I've built numerous sand castles. So far, however, only one person has ever tried to understand anything I've thought of, and only one sand castle. Edit: If anyone else thinks he's a "child" as described here, then I'd very much like to speak with him. Building new values is serious work, and it is frustrating to me that I can receive no constructive feedback. Most people don't seem to even understand the need for it, since they don't even seem to have become very good camels yet. BTW, I think it might be possible that when Jesus said you have to be like a little child to enter the kingdom of heaven, I think he may have actually meant something very similar to what Nietzsche was talking about.
I do not think it follows as discrete phases, but processes that are overlapping. To me, it seems that it's continuous rework of the world's mental model - dropping parts that are found not to represent reality faithfully enough and taking better representing ideas instead. Rather that than complete nihilism followed by re-creation from scratch. And the way you build "new values" is not by creating them but discovering them and deeply understanding them through living them out. I am afraid that willful engineering of values leads us to the superficial anti-values of today.
@@jansvoboda4293 I do willfully create values, but they are different from the woke crowd. I believe the difference is that I seek to conform my preferences to reality, rather than the other way around. Maybe you could say that the woke does not create new values, but they attempt to create new facts, such as extra genders, or fabricated history. The first example of me deliberately changing myself was when I noticed that when I am "hangry" (which used to be a regular occurance) it means that I care more about the feeling of discomfort in my gut than I do about the people I am being grumpy with. The thought was humiliating, so it made the grumpiness go away. So I have not been hangry for several years now. Turns out it is not an innate part of the personality to allow bodily sensations to control the emotional state. A couple more examples: Offense comes from hatred of facts, so whenever I am offended, I try to find out what fact I dislike (although this hardly ever happens anymore). Envy is hatred of those that are better than you, so whenever I feel the need to belittle anyone, I go look at more of the same and tell myself about how that person is doing that thing better than me. I did put all of this together in one system, but as I said, nobody really cares. I do not think that most people practice this kind of thing. Even when I speak plainly about it, it is like it leaves no impression. I think most people have not even gotten to the point of being good camels, so that they cannot understand that devotion to a set of principles is a noble thing, so telling them that they can generate the values from within themselves is meaningless to them. It would be like if a 4th dimensional being manifested itself and spoke plainly to us, but we could not understand even though we looked right at him. I think devout Christians are good camels, and would understand what I say, but they would likely think my words were blasphemous. Some outspoken atheists appear to be genuine lions.
I really appreciate your hard work on building new values, that are both: 1) your own (in a sence that they are not categorical) and 2) originated from reality, not bending reality to support your values. Although I think that one thing is very important in the stage of lion: saying no. Because Nietzsche was a true genealogist in uncovering the roots of our moral values, judgements, and feelings, he thought that before we would replace them, we should tear the old ones down. This sounds too much romantic even for me, so let me reiterate: before we can create new values, we need to free our thinking from the old system of thought. But that doesn't mean purenegation or something similar. We ought to follow our inner feelings, find their roots, and on this basis (which should be rooted in reality) confront old values - thus we can find out, wether some of them are worth saving or not. And during that process creating new values in place of dissmised old ones. I would live to claim to be a child in Nietzsche's sence, but I'm too aware that I'm no way near that stage. (At least not yet - and not anymore.) But I think I'm on a correct way of getting there... So if you'd like to share some of your thoughts and discoveries, I'm all ears.
@@jakubtomas4557 Thanks for your reply. I wrote a book about my ideas. There is a link to it on my about page if you're interested. Or you could try asking specific questions. I don't think the book is perfect btw; a lot of the stuff I think of is a work in progress. Maybe part of the reason it's hard to talk about this stuff is that it has to be a personal journey.
Great vid, commenting for the algorythm. I think Ill have to rewatch as I dont think it full sunk in yet. Despite it mapping pretty well to my own understanding of my own development. I also feel like the development occurred at least twice in my life or maybe my camel stage was just a little turbulent and felt like it captured a full cycle. To say it differently I think I had moral but more rational development from age 16- maybe like 22 (like a western nihlistic/scientific to like a practical mindfulness Sam Harris mixed with the more practical ancient and eastern idea) and a more spiritual one from like 23-28 (maybe starting with a more Alan Watts approach -> Jung and myth/symbols/stories) lets say. The mapping of time and specifics "schools" are not exact but to kinda show quickly what I mean. So there are defentitly gaps of fully understanding what was said still but I see it as adopting and developing a certain code or understanding in the camel, standing by it and testing it against the more collective understanding in the lion, and in the third which is probably my least understood - it has become incorporated and a way of life without really identifying with it, like its just the medium or instrument you are playing with. This is more my mapping then anything said in particular. What do you guys think I got right or wrong?
I am on the Strait and Narrow Path. Quite literally. My first name means "Strait, or Narrow Channel" But most people forget I'm connected to something much larger, like a deep unconsciousness as vast as the Ocean If only I had the ability to tap into that... Oh wait :)
I was born a child. Unfortunately I was suffocated by narcissists and weak people whom I gave FAR too much benefit of the doubt too So I restarted the cycle. I've been through it twice already, and I'm only 24. I feel Old.

When I used to stack blocks very young I used to leave them stacked and my mother didn’t understand why I would giggle and not cry when she knocked them over in front of me. It made me realize the other day when someone slashed my tire how I felt when my mother knocked down those blocks. I realize when someone builds something it has a time of destruction by either it’s owner, nature, or a bunch of shit. Even if they decide to rebuild it they will again decide to destroy it but it’s the owners choice to rebuild and destroy it. Same foundation different house, same planet different inhabitants, different inhabitants, different war more destruction. Destroy the foundation to move the destruction or contain the destruction to create life. Destroy the planet to move the death. When the death moves more death is created as well as life. Life is than created after an infinite amount lives were lost. It felt unrewarding to stack the blocks because I know someone built the foundation before me and was fun to watch someone else knock over the blocks because I know the person knocking the blocks over is closer than the builder of the foundation in relation in time of existence among other reasons.
So for him the highest state of being is one where the individual becomes disillusioned with their beliefs and creates their own belief system that is fully satisfying. But the thing that I don't understand is if someone creates their own beliefs how do those have meaning? The point of these schools is the search for meaning and truth, but if every person creates their own then it's artificial... and there is no true meaning to be found. So, does he think there is some greater truth out there to be found? Or that there is no truth and all one can hope for is self-actualization?
I have been enjoying many of your videos with little prior knowledge of the subject matter. Thank you. Please could you share references to some of the artworks used within this video?
Neitzsche said "God is dead" and died afterwards from syphilis. I call it "an act of devine mockery". The subjectivity of morality does hold some good arena for extensive discussion and refinements but fairytaling of the same is all morbidly available via quotes and words of philosphers.
We create monsters out of the things we fail to pay attention to. Every philosophy offers an interpretation of how to live, but they always involve becoming more observant
That's a very good way of capturing Jung's idea of the shadow. And I couldn't agree more about becoming more observant - awareness is everything

A rephrasing of your statement could be “we create monsters out of the things we do pay attention to too much”. It is our focus and intense concentrated thinking that creates monsters. Observe this. To think of something is to know it. The Faustian pact.

That was a beautiful introduction to Nietzsche's thoughts. "A child doesn't knock down a castle of bricks because he despises it, but because he wasn't to build something new."
Thank you Supreme Reader!

The Divine Child archetype pairs well with this mentioned last stage of development. It also blends with Jung's idea that in order for a man to reach his whole/Holy form, he must reclaim the Divine Child archetype he lost, yet combine it with the realized man he's become. In this way, he transcends. I guess this idea from Nietzsche was a building block for that idea.

All I can say to this is: beautifully explained and Nietzsche was a genius
LOTR would have a lot to say About this. It talks about this :)
In metaphorical context of course.
Aragorn(lion), Gimli (camel, most elves too), Frodo and the other hobbits (the child). And there's even a scene of Arargorn, the Lion, who has just transcended, realizing this fully and kneeling to the Hobbits (the archetype of the child) and his Own Inner Child, during his coronation.
Tolkien was freaking brilliant
Tolkien was freaking amazing. I'm glad I can agree with you on that. I strongly disagree with your LOTR interpretation - Tolkien was most certainly a "Camel" if using Nietzsche's mode of thought. His LOTR books a (not so) subtle devotional work. Dude was a strong traditional Catholic lol.
Best episode so far ! I can hear Neitzche laughing from his primordial belly. Bravo, sir ! You made living art.
Haha that's a sound I'd like to hear thank you sir!
I read this chapter in thus spoke zarathustra when I was 16, I couldn’t find myself to understand it. Now I’m 18, I keep thinking back to it now that I have more responsibilities and experience. It’s the concept of “the camel” that interested me, I guess im in that phase where I struggle to carry the burden of responsibilities and resisting my urges, those things the camel successfully or at least tries to do. Discipline, Embodying virtues and values, having mental strength, resisting temptations…
I can’t say how thankful I am to have stumbled upon your channel.
Thanks Gilly that's a joy to hear
Imagine what will happen if you start reading philosophy. "The story of philosophy" by will Durant is a great start.
Go on and read Zarathustra,m.
never have I ever clicked a video with such enthusiasm, and didn't understand half of it.
I teach you the Superman:

I was not expecting you to reference the Book of Mormon. That’s so awesome!
I read the book for the first time in Arabic, there's an excellent translation for it, and it uses the word " heavy " not " difficult " and I really dig that, I'm wondering why you've chosen the word " difficult " sir, I'm not a native speaker of English, but I'm an English studies student at the university, so it's important for me to clarify this, as for me the word heavy is more poetically accurate to the metamorphosis of the camel. Thank you for the great work you're providing sir, hearted thanks.
Indeed, heavy is more apropriate for the camel metaphor. In original German Nietzsche uses the word "Schwer", which can be translated as heavy, hard, or difficult. If you look at the text more directly, heavy is better, as camels have to carry heavy burdens litteraly put on their backs - but don't forget that this is still a metaphor. Nietzsche is talking about our "Geist" (Soul, mind, or even ghost or spirit) as being camel-like; he is probably hinting at psychological obstacles, duties, and difficulties we have to put with and carry on our minds "as our burdens". And that is the first stage vefore you can abolish those and then become the creative "Geist". Although that is just one of many interpretations.
I recently found interesting idea, that Thus Spoke Zarathustra (in which this triade of metamorphosis occurs) is a journey of uncovering one's subncosciousness and that all the metaphors are meant to signify a part of this journey. Thus: it might be a very personal (and intimate) part of this path that each one of us has to partake - and it is upon our *hard* work of introspection to figure out the exact meaning of each metaphor. And if this case is correct, then difficult is also a plausible translation that hints at this introspection aspect more directly.
Anyways, I hope this somehow helps.
(Sorry for misspells, as I'm sure there are many, and for me not being as clear as I'd like, but this is as most comprehensively explained as I can explain it right now.)
And just like that, I now understand Kubrick's Space Odyssey! - thanks for the insight. My copy of Zarathustra has been waiting for this Frankenstein's-monster-of-a-camel to trot past page 75 for far too long. This video places Nietzsche at the top of my reading list.
Haha delighted to have helped at least one of us understands Kubrick now!
Growing up Mormon or LDS it’s wild to hear the Book of Mormon be used as an example in one of these videos
Haha yeah it's really not a canon that's drawn on often but there's a few nuggets like this that I've come across that I absolutely adore. Plenty of archetypal riches in the book of mormon
Beautifully layed out, you create a marriage of spiritual and rational discourse that always evokes big perspectives and grand holistic visions. I cannot help but to think that, out our own path as a species towards transcendence, our circle of empathy grows with the meeting of new perspectives and modes of living, expanding our awareness to the heavens and finally becoming each, its own universe where we will all meet again as each and as all.
Thanks Lucio I've never heard it expressed that way before but that is exactly what I strive for!
"Making the journey beyond the Camel" is to become it, and then open up the possibility through its nature to allow for change. Our understanding of Liberation matures this way; breaking free is breaking through.

I had to watch this video 4 times to understand it , awesome job really amazing insight
I am fascinated that we just quoted the Book of Mormon without any explanation, caveat, or justification. As an ex-Mormon, I think this is a very good phenomenon. It’s just a book. Thank you for this and the whole excellent vid
Indeed Abe. To me it's just another book from humanity's wisdom tradition and it's weird in a way that it usually is given some caveat beforehand. For me it's just about whether here is a resonance of wisdom in the thing and not about its place in the cultural canon 🤔
The meaning of life is to complete three stages as a peaceful warrior. The first one is to win the one within ourselves.( self improvement, courage, discipline,etc)
The second stage is to help win the battles of those closest to us.( family,partner,children, friends, community)
The third stage is the convince all those winners to give into one last battle. To defeat the societal ego's and guide it against nihilism. Hope for a better future. ( Procreate, Built, Preach,Defend)
Wow man. James, I had to watch it again. I’m very impressed. You really nailed it, no pun really intended. Keep going man, you see it. I was just talking with a friend about spiritual edging. We love edging. It’s a beautiful thing:)
Haha spiritual edging I like it 🤣
This breakdown was absolutely wonderful! I love how you compared to different ages having different means of understanding. For me, I see you such a growth happening within one's own lifetime often especially in training in the martial arts. At first, we take on the burden to be the camel and go through rigorous training to help strengthen the spirit and the body then we become the lion that chooses to use its Force make a name for itself or protect themselves or others. Then one becomes old but lighthearted in their training not because they are not as physically capable but because they have gained the wisdom to not take it so seriously and to enjoy themselves along the way. It is often said in the martial arts community that in order to learn something new one has to empty their cup and that is akin to tearing down the sand castle. It is a great and difficult thing for an old dog to learn new tricks but it is possible if they empty their cup. I guess this is why we are born blind, dumb and Toothless only to grow up blind, dumb and Toothless.

Thanks for the premium content.! I figured I'd drop a comment while I let the ad play through.
Thank you!
this video put all the pieces together for me to make a beautiful Picture of hope. 😍
Wow, man, thank you so much for this video!
And as I was saying: it's much, much, much easier to follow your narration without interruption and switching to perception of a speaking human being😅
It really takes a lot to concentrate while listening and trying to conceive all the full-packed information you're delivering and trying not to pay attention to somebody's appearance or something else.
Good job as always!
Glad you enjoyed it Ramil! My present thinking on your feedback is that I am going to be more thoughtful about the talking head. I'm going to include it when it has something to do with me i.e. when it is my opinion or my take on the content that is being discussed. I think it's good to be more intelligent about it and to think about what I'm doing with it rather than seeing it as the default canvas that everything else is painted on (which is kind of the journey of the channel from the beginning). So thank you for your input it's stimulated a lot in me!
@@TheLivingPhilosophy I'm really glad to read that, and I have huge respect for your ability to listen to the feedback you get and to make thoughtful changes to the way you used to do things!
I think that the way of using "the talking head" - is the best because then it will be completely fine to watch you talking about something without the need to focus on some abstract thoughts. Also, it's always great to watch somebody's natural talk, when a person is expressing his/her thoughts in a way of normal speech but not in a form of reading some written text like a robot, haha)
I really hope that this change will stimulate growth for the channel!💪🏻
Wish you the best!
@@ramilurazmanov Thank you although I should add that while I will be using the talking head more intelligently I won't be going back to ad-libbing that part. It will still be scripted (although I do admit I want to improve my delivery skills but am not quite sure how to be honest) so it still won't be normal/conversational speech
@@TheLivingPhilosophy You didn't ask me for advice and I'm not gonna give you any but I definitely can share my own experience with you, and maybe it will be helpful.
When I was recording my online course - first I was trying to write down the script and remember it word for word by heart. It was literally horrible because of two reasons.
1. I was really nervous.
I was nervous due to the fact that I have to say it word for word and I was afraid to forget something, and I was forgetting, which pissed me off.
But the second factor that had a huge impact on my nervousness was my fixation on the camera. Gosh, it was so unnatural and uncomfortable to be looking at the same spot for minutes.
I suppose that this reaction is deeply biological. When humans were staring at one point for some lengthy time during evolution? When they were chasing something they needed or were expecting something bad to happen by the appearance of something/someone. It's okay that my fight-or-flight response was activated during my staring at the camera.
So, then I watched videos of guys like Matt D'Avella, Nathaniel Drew, Better Ideas, Thomas Frank, and others. I saw that they weren't looking at the camera all the time, and when I started to let myself look at other objects and etc - I felt such a relief.
2. It was always visible that I'm reading some written text.
Yeah, it's always clear when somebody is just saying a written text (remembered or with help of a teleprompter) and it's harder to comprehend this sort of speech. I don't know why but it is as it is.
Then I also realized that the guys I've mentioned - definitely had well-thought and written scripts but their strategy was different.
They are remembering some key points and then just go through these points in their usual way of talking to somebody, and it makes videos vivid and easy to digest right away.
So I started to do it in the same way and it worked pretty well for me.
I hope my experience will be useful to you!
@@ramilurazmanov Thanks Ramil. When I moved from the first 100 days of videos and went to making one or two videos a week I was trying what you were saying and I jut found that it was all over the place. Maybe it's a bit about practice as well but I just wasn't happy with the production quality. This quality improved a lot once I moved to a script. I'm curious to look at these other creators to see what they are doing. There's definitely more there to experiment with.
As for the unnatural sounding-ness I think that's to do with a fundamental difference between the written and spoken word. It seems like they should be the same but one thing I've come to realise is that they really are not. I've noticed that when I am speaking off the cuff there are no full stops it is a series of looping and jumping that gets there. I dunno. I think if I research it more will emerge but it's definitely not clear to me what the right answer is and so for now I'm happy to stick with the highest production value I've come across thusfar and that's the script
this cannel is so good... cant believe I checked it out earlier but didnt get arround to subscribing until now
Excellent video & explanation. Love the way you tie the concept into memetics toward the end!
Also have to say - the ambient music is a welcome addition and it really goes to enhance my focus! Keep it up man.
Ah thank you! Yeah I've always had it there in the background but have been afraid of having it drown or distract from the point. I'm experimenting a bit more the last couple of episodes with being a bit more confident with it and creating more of a soundscape so the positive feedback is much appreciated!

The Morman metal bar reminds me of the Tang Dynasty Zen Master Seccho's "An iron bar without a hole." Plus the story of the Ox Herder process.
The Lion is freedom. Freedom from what? From an "I". A false I, a limiting I, it is a lie that freedom is in an I.
The monk pupil asks the master what to do with the self, with the I. The master responds, confused. "The self? What would you want a self for?"
The Dalai Lama points this very same thing out as being the way to which you break the rules properly.
"Spirit and Strength." This is the alchemical fire stage of the Lion. To turn lead into gold, you must first have pure lead, nothing else.
How much do you love the world? How much do you love this self you created, this "son" of yours? To free your true essence, you must "So love the world that you give it to your only begotten son." If you want to know what it's going to take to let go, to stop holding on for dear life, this is how you do it. This is the battle. The answer to what is it going to take is "everything". This is the only true "safe space".
Only the Child understands. What you allow you transcend. Transcendence allows you to "Play in the Kingdom".
It is in consciousness alone that we are all on a level playing field.
Consciousness is what Heraclitus identified with because that is what he meant by fire.
That's why the first thing, what is established first is Being itself, Awareness. Once that is established, freedom and play become possible. Hence, as I recently shared with you, "God was created in the process of creating us."
The "Child" is the pure Archetype "Consciousness", unconsciousness is unknown, not non-existant, but merely not known to the child. No scale is added to what is not known, or perhaps it is better to say not identified with. The "Childs" very Being, "Awareness" Itself, is always permanently established.
The Child cannot non-exist itself. Here is the prophet, the sage, the avatar, the Jesus, the Buddha, Tao, Sufi etc. With this anchor the Child is moored to the Sea Bottom, the "Depth Impenetrable", the Mystery, the Abyss, Existence or Awareness Itself. We're fuckin' brilliant!
My favorite video on this channel
Ah really? That's great to hear!
Fantastic content. Thank you. Please go easy on the advertisements. It can prove counterproductive
The "meme" that took me beyond the camel, and opened the lion stage for me, is Human Design. I can see the child in the horizon. It is all attainable now.
I’m so grateful for you brother! Thank you for making philosophy so easily accessible!
What a wonderful thing to hear thank you!
The knowledge u share soothes me.
Haha thank you this makes me very happy
@The Living Philosophy “One can ignore reality as much as one desires and pleases, however what one will never be able to ignore is the inevitable crashing consequences of ignoring reality “
This is a little advanced for me but the phenomenal structure of the video made it incredibly intriguing. I'm looking forward to checkout more of your videos and the potential growth that comes from watching them.
Cheers bruv
Awesome Grizzlo!! Hope you have fun going down the rabbit hole!
This reminds me of the fourth turning. I believe the fourth turning is very relevant and those turning exist in a much larger turning and this may be that nice larger turning. Very interesting.

I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6. Reincarnation is real. I am Elijah reincarnated in a woman's body. Jesus, David, and Joseph were all transgender and Jesus will return as a woman. Prophets said my wedding is already paid for and will be broadcasted all over the world.

"In the modern world it is the husk of Christianity." Then in the post modern world, would it be the husk of science without spirituality that we would be shuffling off?
As of now I am but a child trying to peek in to the rooms of philosophy and stoicism I am trying to become the camel as I strive to be more than I am now I thank you for your passing of knowledge
Transformative journey from dutiful submission to truth bearing to the ideal against the corrupt to transcendence of it and the emergence of a new realised and powerful form.
All who listens to this and concentrate on every word is the betterment of you,however, you will have forgotten every word the following day and go about your lives. Have love within yourself and do away with your constant meddling Thoughts and you will experience Happiness throughout your lives . This world isn't here to harm you but all live their lives within their mind/thoughts. Your mind;filled with negative thoughts-Fear,Anxiety,Anger,depression)is your downfall. You must be the master of your mind and control it,not your mind controlling you. Follow this path within YOU,not the path of philosopher's;it only works for them.
12:50 "a new Nietzsche opens up..."
Thank you for your videos. I get a lot out of all of them but this one especially. You bring out the best in philosophy!
Thanks Sempress
Fantastic video! I have yet to read any of Nietzsche’s works but your videos will for sure make his ideas more accessible when I do :)
Love the video. Good job on animating the text of these beautiful passages :)
Haha!! You noticed! I told you I was inspired by your work! Now if only I could manage to integrate the other million skills you have I'd be looking good!
Child is spiritual birth and a a realisation you were there at the beginning of the universe because its the same way you experienced your formation as a human which is stored in the memory of your subconscious
I was surprised that you didn’t mention the most renowned tablets - the Ten Commandments- that shaped Western Civilization. Certainly, these are the Thou Shalts that Nietszche was alluding to in Zarathustra. It is Judaism that gave birth to Christianity which changed the world completely, putting the individual at the center of his actions.
That is perhaps the most revolutionary concept put forward by Judaism - the individual and ultimately responsible for their actions.
Which is legacy is completely bora of this concept of a tech service step further.
Just come across this channel, watched a dozen episodes back to back and subscribed.
Excellent.
Keep up the great work 👍
Oh wow really!? That's awesome I'm so happy you're enjoying it!
Yes really! Initially felt uneasy with the accent then realized I have almost the same accent.......hence familiar.
I wonder what your thoughts are on E M Coiran? That'd be great to hear your take on the euphoric pessimist🙂
@@itsmeitsme99 Haha really? I guess it is a weird accent and I'm not too taken with it myself but for now it'll have to do! I know almost nothing about Cioran. Been meaning to listen to Philosophize This's episodes on him but haven't got round to it yet. Mightbe worth an episode though sounds like it should be interesting though I know almost nothing about the man but I have to say euphoric pessimist sounds right up my street
@@itsmeitsme99 Okay I'm just after reading his wikipedia page and I'm totally sold I think I might get my hands on one of his books of aphorisms and maybe do a profile on him as part of the existentialist arc I'm currently contemplating thanks for the nudge on him
@@TheLivingPhilosophy
Wow, that was quick! Sounds like you are a ravenous reader. The Trouble With Being Born, and, my favourite, A Short History of Decay might be a good place to start.
I disagree with almost everything he says but he writes so beautifully I find it irresistible. One of the good guys to emerge from Paris:)
Until I started watching videos like this and reading/ listing to more of Nietzsche. I now realize this was my journey to make my own values, my own principles to live by. To follow those principles I have for myself. To one day pass those principles on to my children. They will keep the ones they like, and the ones that won't suit them for the future they will find themselves in. They will discard, because they will have grown past me. I get more and more excited everyday only being 28. Knowing one day I will get to watch my children outshine me. My father was afraid of his children outshining his pathetic existence. It wasn't very hard for my brother and I to do. His greatest fears have come true and he doesn't even know it yet. My greatest joy was my father's greatest fear. Funny how that happened. Very funny, quite the joke.
Hell yes! Excellent work that really helps reinforce the concepts I read during my mental boxing match with 'Thus Spake Zarathustra' last year.
🤘
hahaha delighted to hear it!
What is self-actualization, other than the ability to be happy and a good person, without the need for anything the material world offers you. To transcend the mind by means of fully surrendering your ego and adhering to the natural hierarchy of the universe as it came directly from Gods hand
People sleepwalk. People bake cakes while they’re sleeping and have no idea who made the cake when they wake up. People that take Ambien are warned about sleep-driving. How do they know where the eggs are when sleep-baking? How do they know where the keys are when sleep-driving. Assuming the ego is not present while sleepwalking or driving we seem to do a lot better without the fear and the emotion of the ego.
Any advice on how to achieve self actualization would be helpful to me. It’s a very interesting topic. I like what you said there.
@@Mark.Allen1111 It’s not something that can be taught, you have to discover it for yourself. My best line of advice is to call everything you understand to be true into question by directly engaging with the things you hate most. Dip deep into yourself and ask “Why are things the way that they are?”
At one point of my life I was the camel. I never did become a lion but I am now on that same path and will soon become complete the process once again. My spiritual path is something I am close to again.
You make the very best videos on philosophy ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
@@TheLivingPhilosophy thank you 🙏
It's all a metamorphosis of knowing thyself. This is not bestowed among all, only who bring it onto themselves, or giving yourself karma
Excellent. I was struggling to understand some of this in the book. This helps a lot.
I think it’s important to test grand theories like this. Also, this guy ended up nuts. I understand that an idea has an existence separate to the individual who birthed the idea, but we can consider him as a sample size of 1. Also, modern understanding of values understands that values do have a biological base. For example different personality traits are highly correlated with dispositions towards certain political values. We also know that biology makes up about 45-55% of our personality traits. Another point I’d like to make is that the understanding of tablets as value systems is a bit ambiguous. Consider that values are not created, they exist. Different value system can be created by weighting and combining different existing values. But that is not pure creation. That is creativity and experimentation. Therefore, this idea really doesn’t contend with the deepest part of the issue. Values are not created. Think about that for while before you respond to this comment.
It seems to me that the three stages described collectively constitute a cycle 🔄.
I like that you included memes, but I think not everyone is familiar with their meaning used by Dawkins. Perhaps a video on memes would be interesting. It can be grouped with your other video on humans as bacteria, which I also enjoyed.
Very true Daniel. I could do with the deep dive on it myself. I've had his Selfish Gene on the bedside locker a long time so it's about time I go through it. Seems like a very important angle triangulating what the channel has been exploring this year

This's by far the most influential video you made, and it came at the right moment in my life. I can't thank you enough.
I have a thought I would like to entertain, what if the ideology of Metamorphoses were accepted by the majority and thus it transfers into the Dragon? How will things operate? Will it collapse on itself?
Ah I'm delighted to hear it Taha! That's awesome. I think in our individualistic culture the ideology of self-creation and transcending authority already is accepted. And I think it has somewhat been integrated into the dragon but the dragon is a tricky beast and we don't see how even this goal of individuation is in itself a value of tyranny in our way. At least that's the first thought that comes to my mind

Amazing interpretation of Nietzche. Most often we hear of the Übermensch in utterly ruthless, inhumane terms. Thanks.
Is the Übermensch in any way related to the dark subconscious side? Both seem to have colossal energy?
Human rules never made sense to me, but it was only when I stopped trying to understand them, and rather live according to my own, that I found peace, because my current values are not evolved from older ones, but based on new ideas not tainted by primitive dogma.
Humanity can recreate itself, and should, rather than evolve from the mistaken form that lead us to the present. ✌️💚🖖
I relate to this metaphorical story. I was easily manipulatable and went through lots of suffering to finally evolve myself into the lion and I felt this is better self of me but felt unimportant since no more dragon showed up after I wasn’t able to chase away them. so that I started a new journey to peeling another layer of me that I myself am strange to.
Very isoteric knowledge. It makes sense though, love the parables.
Thank you. Greetings from Chile.
This video made my day. Thank you
Coconut Head!! That's one hell of a throwback for a username. Amazing. I'm delighted my video could have made the day of one so distinguished as yourself!
Let's goooooo! ⚡️⚡️
“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”(Rev. 5:5 KJV) Christ is the Lion in Scripture. I wonder if Nietzsche knew this.
I've never been linear i really think i am a trinity of those metamorphosis
Therefore I think i need to create new categories
Since i don't believe in something that doesn't describe me
I see myself rather as a motion or a xenomorphic chameleon
Great video tho dude
I struggle with reading a lot so it's great having those videos
I went through all those steps years ago, and I've built numerous sand castles. So far, however, only one person has ever tried to understand anything I've thought of, and only one sand castle.
Edit: If anyone else thinks he's a "child" as described here, then I'd very much like to speak with him. Building new values is serious work, and it is frustrating to me that I can receive no constructive feedback. Most people don't seem to even understand the need for it, since they don't even seem to have become very good camels yet.
BTW, I think it might be possible that when Jesus said you have to be like a little child to enter the kingdom of heaven, I think he may have actually meant something very similar to what Nietzsche was talking about.
I do not think it follows as discrete phases, but processes that are overlapping. To me, it seems that it's continuous rework of the world's mental model - dropping parts that are found not to represent reality faithfully enough and taking better representing ideas instead. Rather that than complete nihilism followed by re-creation from scratch. And the way you build "new values" is not by creating them but discovering them and deeply understanding them through living them out.
I am afraid that willful engineering of values leads us to the superficial anti-values of today.
@@jansvoboda4293 I do willfully create values, but they are different from the woke crowd. I believe the difference is that I seek to conform my preferences to reality, rather than the other way around. Maybe you could say that the woke does not create new values, but they attempt to create new facts, such as extra genders, or fabricated history.
The first example of me deliberately changing myself was when I noticed that when I am "hangry" (which used to be a regular occurance) it means that I care more about the feeling of discomfort in my gut than I do about the people I am being grumpy with. The thought was humiliating, so it made the grumpiness go away. So I have not been hangry for several years now. Turns out it is not an innate part of the personality to allow bodily sensations to control the emotional state.
A couple more examples: Offense comes from hatred of facts, so whenever I am offended, I try to find out what fact I dislike (although this hardly ever happens anymore).
Envy is hatred of those that are better than you, so whenever I feel the need to belittle anyone, I go look at more of the same and tell myself about how that person is doing that thing better than me.
I did put all of this together in one system, but as I said, nobody really cares.
I do not think that most people practice this kind of thing. Even when I speak plainly about it, it is like it leaves no impression. I think most people have not even gotten to the point of being good camels, so that they cannot understand that devotion to a set of principles is a noble thing, so telling them that they can generate the values from within themselves is meaningless to them. It would be like if a 4th dimensional being manifested itself and spoke plainly to us, but we could not understand even though we looked right at him. I think devout Christians are good camels, and would understand what I say, but they would likely think my words were blasphemous. Some outspoken atheists appear to be genuine lions.
I really appreciate your hard work on building new values, that are both: 1) your own (in a sence that they are not categorical) and 2) originated from reality, not bending reality to support your values.
Although I think that one thing is very important in the stage of lion: saying no. Because Nietzsche was a true genealogist in uncovering the roots of our moral values, judgements, and feelings, he thought that before we would replace them, we should tear the old ones down. This sounds too much romantic even for me, so let me reiterate: before we can create new values, we need to free our thinking from the old system of thought. But that doesn't mean purenegation or something similar. We ought to follow our inner feelings, find their roots, and on this basis (which should be rooted in reality) confront old values - thus we can find out, wether some of them are worth saving or not. And during that process creating new values in place of dissmised old ones.
I would live to claim to be a child in Nietzsche's sence, but I'm too aware that I'm no way near that stage. (At least not yet - and not anymore.) But I think I'm on a correct way of getting there... So if you'd like to share some of your thoughts and discoveries, I'm all ears.
@@jakubtomas4557 Thanks for your reply. I wrote a book about my ideas. There is a link to it on my about page if you're interested. Or you could try asking specific questions. I don't think the book is perfect btw; a lot of the stuff I think of is a work in progress.
Maybe part of the reason it's hard to talk about this stuff is that it has to be a personal journey.
I would love to hear about them if u want to have a conversation!
Would you happen to have any content about Mohammad Iqbal and his response to Nietzsche?

Great vid, commenting for the algorythm.
I think Ill have to rewatch as I dont think it full sunk in yet. Despite it mapping pretty well to my own understanding of my own development. I also feel like the development occurred at least twice in my life or maybe my camel stage was just a little turbulent and felt like it captured a full cycle. To say it differently I think I had moral but more rational development from age 16- maybe like 22 (like a western nihlistic/scientific to like a practical mindfulness Sam Harris mixed with the more practical ancient and eastern idea) and a more spiritual one from like 23-28 (maybe starting with a more Alan Watts approach -> Jung and myth/symbols/stories) lets say. The mapping of time and specifics "schools" are not exact but to kinda show quickly what I mean.
So there are defentitly gaps of fully understanding what was said still but I see it as adopting and developing a certain code or understanding in the camel, standing by it and testing it against the more collective understanding in the lion, and in the third which is probably my least understood - it has become incorporated and a way of life without really identifying with it, like its just the medium or instrument you are playing with. This is more my mapping then anything said in particular. What do you guys think I got right or wrong?
Awesome!
Excellent !

When I used to stack blocks very young I used to leave them stacked and my mother didn’t understand why I would giggle and not cry when she knocked them over in front of me. It made me realize the other day when someone slashed my tire how I felt when my mother knocked down those blocks. I realize when someone builds something it has a time of destruction by either it’s owner, nature, or a bunch of shit. Even if they decide to rebuild it they will again decide to destroy it but it’s the owners choice to rebuild and destroy it. Same foundation different house, same planet different inhabitants, different inhabitants, different war more destruction. Destroy the foundation to move the destruction or contain the destruction to create life. Destroy the planet to move the death. When the death moves more death is created as well as life. Life is than created after an infinite amount lives were lost. It felt unrewarding to stack the blocks because I know someone built the foundation before me and was fun to watch someone else knock over the blocks because I know the person knocking the blocks over is closer than the builder of the foundation in relation in time of existence among other reasons.
Great video! Lol at the Book of Mormon part though 😅
So for him the highest state of being is one where the individual becomes disillusioned with their beliefs and creates their own belief system that is fully satisfying. But the thing that I don't understand is if someone creates their own beliefs how do those have meaning? The point of these schools is the search for meaning and truth, but if every person creates their own then it's artificial... and there is no true meaning to be found. So, does he think there is some greater truth out there to be found? Or that there is no truth and all one can hope for is self-actualization?
Actually Nietzsche learnt about that in the Japanese Buddhism. It’s the way to Satori
Great explanation...thank you.
I only read a third of the book but I never forgot the camel lion child part but there was no dragon fourth stage.
I have been enjoying many of your videos with little prior knowledge of the subject matter. Thank you. Please could you share references to some of the artworks used within this video?
Neitzsche said "God is dead" and died afterwards from syphilis. I call it "an act of devine mockery". The subjectivity of morality does hold some good arena for extensive discussion and refinements but fairytaling of the same is all morbidly available via quotes and words of philosphers.
Yes!
Good one
Thank you for making this video
Glad it was helpful!
