Spinoza / Gurdjieff "JIM CARREY ON FAME & FORTUNE"
An ongoing Spinoza and Gurdjieff study group. This video is about searching for something lasting that’s beyond achieving fame and fortune. We all want to be famous, be approved of, and be honored. Those who have achieved great success, such as Jim Carrey, have shared his experience with fame and fortune.
He realized that fame and fortune doesn’t take away depression, loneliness, and fear of failure. Unfortunately, many people in the entertainment industry have committed suicide, why? This video gives us a deeper insight into human nature and how to free oneself from the illusion of fame and fortune.

This is an ongoing Spinoza and Gurdjieff Study Group. Today’s topic is about “God and Free Will.” Spinoza’s God is different than the Christian, Jewish, and the Islamic God. Spinoza’s God is a non-anthropomorphic being, a non-personal God. The Christian God is a childish fable that feeds the imagination that God bestows favors and punishments.

Gurdjieff / Spinoza "Deepak Chopra, a Limited Understanding of Consciousness"
Emerson was right about having reverence for nature. Our hatred of nature is now as boundless as the oceans. And here we are, as it becomes apparent that global warming is an abrupt irreversible exponential function.
No question, our planet is suffering due to greed and ignorance. However, what's more important is what Emerson touched on, which is knowing thy true nature. Emerson talks a good talk, unfortunately, there is no method of achieving what he became aware of. You must learn how look and examine your nature and free yourself from our egoistic beliefs. I found the way of freedom and happiness.
Victor Frankles book Mans search for meaning explains this to a tee.
Yes, you're correct. I loved his book facing and living in a concentration camp and surviving to tell his story. Fortunately, Victor Frankel survived to tell his story from the power of understanding human nature. Spinoza's Ethics when studied and understood will give that power of our mind's endeavor to understand the laws that determine our desires and emotions and become free from emotional bondage.
very sweet yes it takes a long time and devotion, you are witness cheers.....
As far as I know, the brain generates our conciousness. The (thinking, feeling) Mind and our Brain are therefore one and the same thing.
John, it's almost impossible to admit that you don't know. The male ego is too sensitive for such admission. "As far as I know" implies that you are not certain. I am certain, I have studied the nature of the mind for over 50 years. Most of society will agree with you. Unfortunately, human nature is ignorant of their nature and believe that they have free will. As I mention in my video, the brain is an organ that stores information and it helps regulate all the systems of the body. Neuroscientist imagine the brain is the mind. Yet, Spinoza, a 17th century philosopher explains it very clearly in his Ethics. Look it up, study it; unfortunately because of inertia and complacency, you wont' apply yourself because too much mental effort is required. Mankind follows instinctively through his 5 senses and follows the path of least resistance. The belief in free will is a great obstacle to true knowledge. You feel and believe that you understand, and that is the problem. Reason and intuition are required to grasp what I understand and communicate in my videos. And thank you for your comment.
12/11/2024 2- Because Yahweh is the God of tricksters. Spinoza's ethics will not work. Einstein's theories are fictional. The God of Spinoza and the God of Israel, or the Jews, is Zionist, that rules over the earth if not other galaxies. Metaphysician

@@AAA9549-w7w Yahweh is not Spinoza's god. To understand what Spinoza's god is you have to study his Ethics. If you want to understand it, there's an excellent introductory book to his Ethics called "The Spirit of Spinoza: Healing the Mind" by Neal Grossman, in the first part of it he explains the concept of Spinoza's God.
My emotions opened up and thought at the very end of this video that I guess Trump isn't too old. That's the only bright side I have at the moment... I'm not holding my breath.
In another, I love the Gurdjieff of system. I was part of it in the Dominican Republic under Jose Reyes, but if we follow the premise that all life is suffering, the people in power who are the Democrats are creating misery. Inflation of economy can be fixed. But they are unwinding to do anything about it. They want to create chaos if you truly love him Humanity you will be in favor of getting rid of anything on the left, you know the left is socialism and communism. They want chaos for them to create order out of that chaos.
They are making life miserable for everybody making a difficult for people to make ends meet. That’s why Donald Trump won and they recruiting the nonsense. Then a man can be a woman and a woman can be a man and you know when I know under the Georgian system, which also follows the Gnostics the Sufies, Kabala, the Hindu system, and this place is a matrix and the icons are controlling everything the people behind the deep state and getting to a point it’s almost biblical the evil outcomes of their deeds of making people miserable and fighting among ourselves. That’s what they’re trying to do fusion with gender ideology and wildness create tribalism people fight based on color creating identity politics diversity equity inclusion, which is exactly the opposite. It’s not it based on the color of my skin and I’m better than you because I’m darker than you. If you’re really a student of Gurdjieff would say that what the left is trying to do is madness

And if you raise taxes for the rich and reality, the rich will pull out their money invested somewhere else and then they’ll get the money that they promised to give to the poor from the middle class in the middle class becomes poor every day because of it and then there’s inflation, they created this oxymoron problem and you wanna stay with it honestly and you wanna stay with them
Life is worth living when you're connected with you higher mind, an active thinking mind that is beyond the ego passive state of mind. The ego-personality state of being can be the material for growth. When you are identified with what you see, an subscribe to the idea that we all have free will, then you will suffer. Objective self understanding is a powerful conscious state of being.
Regarding being a Gurdjieff Group, I have had many former Gurdjieff students that has a major complain that these groups have no idea what the mind is and our emotions are ignored. Emotions are the keys for inner growth.
Good, sir I respectfully disagree with you when they lower taxes for corporations and the wealthy because they already do pay a lot of taxes it’s synergizes and creates more income stream or a higher income stream for the IRS when they lower it because businesses tend to stay and higher more people Within the United States that’s what happens. Lowering taxes is not only beneficial for the rich and goes all the way down and hires more people create more jobs much more richness, and gets people out of poverty that is what you don’t understand
You assume that he is in lack of understanding. However, trickle down economy that Ronnie actor boy invoked has created the continued widening Gap between the richest men those that have little. Those little pay so much more percent of their actual spending power by so much compared to the rich I believe your fascination believing that this video creator is lacking understanding has come around to prove that you see badly of your own reflection @SebaadeDanny
@@ToddSloanIAAN Excellent response, thanks.
If you think the democrats are actually for the people and liberal democratic politics, you are way off the mark. It doesn’t take much digging to find these are the most sinister people in the whole of the political spectrum.
Sir, when we talk about intellect and feeling. Does intellect must be operated from the feeling-body rather than intellecct alone as in the head. We can say Elon Musk/Jordan Peterson is Intellectual but intellect when operated from feeling-body is different right--perhaps it is the right way. (?) Just my thoughts
Thank you for your thoughts. The mind is a thinking thing. If the mind's thinking doesn't include feelings or emotions, then the thoughts are abstract and disconnected with their nature. If the ideas in the mind that includes an emotion then this is a state of understanding that includes reason and intuition. The mind and body act as one unit. I hope this helps.
@@wayofspinoza2471 Thank you for the response. "How to think" might be a good topic to explore. Even in daily simple thinkings and any study or problem-solving in ones work, and then perhaps greater thinking as in works of Leonardo Da Vinci etc.
good idea.
The most interesting thing about Sapolsky's work in neuroscience, endricronology, primatology, and evolutioary biology, to me, is that he, in his book "Behave", confirms a great deal of what Mr. Gurdgieff alluded to in his trilogy "Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson". This confirms for me that his encounter with the Sarmoung Brother's ; [describef in his other work "Meetings with Remarkable Men"] was, in fact, also authentic, as he could not have just skimmed it from the BonTon literature of his day and that then the "fragments of an unknown teaching" which he aquired from them and subsequently taught, were then of course also authentic. Their are so many parallels between the two that, and as they are more contemporary in nature, I wonder if Spinoza, as fine as he was is as relevant. You are however the first to put them all together as far as I know.Something i have just begun musing upon quite recently. Most excellent sir! Are you also, by any chance familiar with a Mr. Deropp and his book "the Warrors Way'? I am off to visit your site! HiHo! P.S. I must add that the good Dr.S is not a phycisist by his own humble admission, although he certainly could be if he wished to. Thank You for this. It was most gratifying.
Gurdieff said "Remember Yourself". With that, you might come to know thyself. Don't expect to understand God.
I found Gurdjieff as a great introduction to the work that I do; however, he has his limitation of the true nature of man and of God. Spinoza is very clear, he explains in his Ethics, that the more you understand your emotions the more you'll understand God. Self-observation from the level of ego goes nowhere. I know by practice that when you surrender to you pain, hate, and anger, when triggered by expectations that were not met, then journaling the experience, the law of the mind will be awakened. You see, God or Nature constitutes the essence of your mind. In reality, your awakened mind is a part of this infinite non-anthropomorphic Beings intelligence.
Was with you until you started saying billl gates is smart and does good things for people.
Your right, Bill Gates has done a lot to confuse the public with his idea about climate change, about GMO, and purchasing thousands of land to convince people to consume his food.
You are so difficult to follow. There are no gods no devils no heaven no hell,
If you have understood my video, you would realize that Spinoza has given us an idea of the true God. You must discern the difference between your imagination, fantasy, and true knowledge that is possible to realize. However, you have to learn how to awaken your higher thinking mind. I have a process how to do that.

How is it only partly true that Spinoza was a pantheist?
Your imagine you know what a pantheist is and what God is. Go to my website and do some work to improve your understanding.
As it becomes ever more apparent that global warming is an abrupt irreversible exponential function , have we collectively created this dilemma , knowingly or are we victims of predeterminism ?
Why are we victims to predetermination in the case of climate change more than any other scenario?
Unfortunately, we are doing things unconsciously, we follow our desires which are determined by causes that we are not aware of. We have been influenced since childhood what to believe and follow in what is good. We seek immediate gratification without concern with our future. Fortunately, there is a way to awake and become self-determined.
@@SamuelDimitrij the belief in free will is an obstacle to grasp what I am communicating and to understand the nature of determinism.
the problem with human nature is the belief that they have free will. You and I are act automatically to preserve and exist, We are unable to comprehend what are trying to make sense of. I know, I have the way to free oneself from being unconscious of this reality.
No, we have all cast out the Divine allowing Satan to rule. Faith is the cure...................Falun Dafa
I am so grateful for coming across your post! I found it very interesting, and would love to hear more. I will definitely check out your site. One thing i recently determined, in my belief, is the " greatest form of power,and control, is of ones self." This, r3flecting on the change in society, aswell as my personal experience with abuse, and mainly related to Narcism, and its increase as well as its growing notability, and its affects throughout society. (Something to discuss another time.) As far as GOD, i believe similar to what you described, there is not A, one, or right or wrong. Yes, a master, leader,ruler,CREATOR, of ALL, but not specifically individually, or intentionally specific, yet, just as important, valued, and responsible for. (Chain reaction, evolution, reproduction....you get my point.) Cause and effect is a HUGE STAPLE, a concrete universal law, much like up down, in out.....they are laws, rules, TRUTHS, that can't be denied or defied, yheybare the foundation. Many different aspects, environment, culture, education, social, economic, play a big part of shaping individuals, or determining our destiny, BUT, thats where FREE WILL, comes into play, BUT, my most important aspect i feel thst has b3en overlooked and disregarded, is INTENTION. I BELIEVE, the meaning amd purpose of life, and all the answers we seek, are very very simple, and have been and are available to us, since creation. The EARTH, our MOTHER, (from which we are created from, and retun to )the only known, self creating, and sustainable planet, provides all we need to survive, and thrive, and prosper. Yet, we rather seek an alternative, than invest in our only resoce, and provider. Our choices, ultimately,are what shape us, BUT, ITS THE INTENTION, THE reason, root to our core, the one thing that droves is to DO, that we sometimes can never answer, and will never underestimate. To each their own, as we arrive, we shall depart. It is then, we face judgement, or, determine ones value, your worth, if your good,bad, going up, or down. You may have believed you did the rigt things, and others had a different precetion. You omly have to abswer to one, for what YOU are accounts for. Stay strong.
Apologies for my inconsistent random confusing rely, there's just too much to say, on numerous topics, but I'd love to have the opportunity to discuss further, and more indepth. Very encouraging to know someone out there is interested in the same.
Thanks for your thoughts.
We should neither be after power or control, true wisdom is truthfulness-compassion-tolerance, human kind....................Falun Dafa
I'm happy to have found you my friend. I have subscribed.
Thank you.
Thank You. I think creativity and spontaneity (or to have a body capacble for creativity) one may have to learn to jump out of rational-overloaded-mind yet if one has to structure or make something beneficial for oneself other than inward peace (such as to make money with it unless maybe an actor or Jackson Pollock etc :) ) then a bit of rational mind help is also needed. But most are too much rational-minded and even comes with ideas of creativity that is within rational mind like 'steal like an artist' or imitiate hardowrkingly or technical-expertising or too much skill but no love or even calls people with love as useless losers etc.
This isn’t Part 2 of the Ethics.

OK, the enneagram I found it too complex and doesn't help in the work that I do.

You may want to check it out.
50 years old here. Still trying to understand Spinoza. I have an idea that he follows with Neo-Platonic and Taoist thought which I am fond of. Am I right?
Also tried to wrap my brain around Beelzebub's Tales To His Grandson which... is like Ulysses to me. Wow.
Spinoza's philosophy communicated in his Ethics is a book to behold. When studied and understood it will change your perception of reality. On your own it's too easy to slide through without really understanding his concepts. I am a coach and mentor. I can help, if you are interested.
Great that you come back online and sharing your leading thoughts with respect thank you
Our own: presence, sentience, being, the sense of 'am here', non biological, awareness+conscience/knowing+power of intent; similar to the presence that we are within a dream. Zero dimensional and outside of spacetime. All the rest is just a (potentially) regenerating chemical reaction of the DNA class. Nervous systems must capture a spirit at birth by radiating a bidirectional field of mind-body consciousness as a lure, which binds spirits having sensual intents. The spirit is required to perform I/O for the nervous system: reading consciousness with awareness, filtering with conscience, and optionally writing back to consciousness to initiate thought or muscular movement or other actions in a dream. It's not a matter of contemplation, it can be known by direct experience. True knowledge (Spinoza). Right: I agree that conscience/instinct+reason have a synergy that develop (or undermine) each other. And this forms the basis for the development of virtue, or its destruction, as the case may be.
I have no idea what you are communicating it's very abstract. I don't know if you understand Spinoza's philosophy explained in his Ethics.
@@wayofspinoza2471 nothing I said abstract to any degree whatsoever.
@@wayofspinoza2471 Spinoza insists that the “true knowledge we have of good and evil” is “abstract, or universal” (E4p62s; G/II/257).
@@wayofspinoza2471 Spinoza concludes: “I have shown the cause why men are moved more by opinion than by true reason, and why the true knowledge of good and evil arouses disturbances of the mind, and often yields to lust of every kind” (IV17S). Such is the life of bondage.
@@wayofspinoza2471 In the scholium to proposition fifteen, he writes against “those who feign a God, like man, consisting of a body and a mind, and subject to passions. But how far they wander from the true knowledge of God, is sufficiently established by what has already been demonstrated.” Besides being false, such an anthropomorphic conception of God standing as judge over us can have only deleterious effects on human freedom and activity, insofar as it fosters a life enslaved to hope and fear and the superstitions to which such emotions give rise.
🙂👍
Quoting Spinoza does not mean you understand his propositions, ETC. I have studied and worked with my teacher and mentor for over 50 years. If you really understood Spinoza's Ethics you would want to become a student and live his ideas. By yourself, it's evident that you do not comprehend.
Everything is an energy transfer. Those who need no self affirmation burn like a dynamo, the philosophy of the alchemists. People who need self affirmation are like energy thieves sucking juice out of others through induction.
Please, what book are you reading ?! Thanks a lot !
The book that I am referring to is, "How To Solve Life's Problems." You can access this book directly from Amazon.com or scroll down just below this video and I have a direct link to the book. Another book I recommend is "The Way of Spinoza and Gurdjieff," this book is about case studies on how students incorporated Spinoza's and Gurdjieff's ideas into their lives. And much success on your adventure for truth.

In this age of Tiktok, it is more evident now of the degredation of self confidence or approval.

Again, thank you for educating folks on this.
Human nature tendencies is to belong, and have many social friends to escape from our individual fears and confusions. We all react to what we see because we attribute free will to those we disapprove of. Freedom is to understand the laws that direct and influence human nature.

I am happy that you can see and hear what I am communicating, It means a lot to me to see you and others embracing Spinoza and Gurdjieff. Thank You.
I'm 26 years old guy from Serbia. And like Greg, I also heard about you Lewis in one of Martin Butler's videos, actually someone left a comment under that video and mentioned you when someone asked something like who was Martin's teacher. And yeah I also found Martin by an accident, just saw his youtube video titled Spiritual Rehab in my recommended and clicked on it. I'm really grateful that I came upon both of you guys, the things I learned and I'm still learning really helped me a lot. The ability to sense and understand your emotions is a priceless thing. I also read both of Martin's books and your book as well Lewis and applying the practices from them in my life. I also saw your series of videos about journaling on Tiktok where i follow you and decided to try it. It helped me to see some of my desires i wasn't aware of. I'm not journaling anymore at the moment, but i'll probably start doing it again in future. Just wanted to leave a comment, I though you might like to hear that there are more of us who heard about you from your student Martin 🙂

So the solution is to become a passenger in the robot? What clue did Gurdjieff find that convinced him that individual are "programmed" onto a path.
You may find an answer to your questions by visiting my website.
I'm not clear about your question; however I will do my best in answering what I think you are communicating. To become a passenger is a process. you must want something of a higher quality that you posses. we are all programmed as children, how to speak, foods to eat, things to enjoy, etc. all your desires are programmed and determined.
Hi, Brazilian guy here. Whats the cause? Thank you.
living from an egoistic mindset, life is meaningless.

a cause of anger or hate is derived when your desires or expectations are not met or realized. The causes can be the belief in free will or a preset confused pattern of thinking.
