I really needed this video, woke up with existential dread without knowing why. I just felt like I was living outside of my life with no real freedom. All my problems just overwhelming me. Thank you for this video, it brought me some perspective.
@@MindNow Well I got out of a 5 year relationship in January, and just erasing the future I was counting on has been difficult, but I am trying to move forward as best I can. And I just kept thinking, "this is my life now, and I need to go through it alone." I always knew this on a fundamental level but its hard to accept once you have felt so connected to someone, which I have always wanted. Also my mom and step dad are currently living with me and my step dad has terminal lung cancer and I think their feelings and emotions are effecting me. I'm an empath so I can feel people's emotions much stronger than my own. So I'm thinking that my step dad's existential dread of having to accept his death is what brought on those feelings. I personally am not afraid of death, I understand that it's inevitable and it's just a part of life. And I am just lucky to be alive in the first place.

Great quote to share on this video, for I feel many people might leave this video with a strong desire for being free from desires. That same desire-paradox is one I myself really fell for. With the advice of many men wiser than me however, I now believe the only solution is to be found in the present moment.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
Perhaps the most free we can be is, when our mind is free from idea and urge of freedom. If you don't know anything, you're free to not be burdened by the knowledge and perhaps even know anything, if you so choose. To bad you can't go there anymore, at least not in a way, that would feel continuous to your own existence. The second best thing is perhaps to stop caring.
I was on acid once and felt that the most honest conclusion to my existence was to end it. It was frightening. It seems that to be alive is to deceive myself and others to some extent. To fundamentally deviate from "my" "true" essence. Slapping me right in my face that I'm lazy, unkind, inconsistent, imperfect, and will always be. Very uncomfortable yet humbling in a weird way. Maybe someone can change my perspective. I don't know. I. I don't even. It's a figment. I hold onto something that isn't even. It's all falling and this "thing" that is "me" falls with "it". I'm a mess as I fall yet I desperately try to hold this "thing"/"feeling" together. Like I'm greedily holding onto something that was never "mine" in the first place. That to truly let go is to be free, from "it". From existence as I know it. As though if I died, there would be some celebration that I let this thing go once and for all. That then I'd finally truly be free from the confines of existence. It makes no sense but maybe it does? "If there is a god, I have questions." - an agnostic Peace. P.S. No, I'm not currently on acid or any drugs for that matter, heh.
Now add on top of this the theory that we have lived the exact same lives over and over again which means I will and have made this message over and over again for forever.

Free will is the gift humankind has been given that allows each being to freely choose their ideas and what they wish to believe or not believe. Our ability through the choices we make, to create new circumstances and environment, relationships, achievement or failure, prosperity or poverty. There is no way that man may escape what he thinks, says or does [i.e., the fruits of his free will]-for he is born of the Divine Creative Consciousness power and is likewise creative in his imagining.
Your freedom comes the knowledge of all that which was said along with the understanding that you do not matter to any of it unless you accept your place among all of it ... And you're certainly free to do just that ... Or not. Much Love, mr. e ✌️

"WOW" That gave me chills! You win the internet award for the day. That was spot on and will make you stop and think. Life is too short if you think about it do it might not get another chance.
This reminds me of the great master of letting go, Guru Laghima. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve never heard of him. Guru Laghima was an 🌬Nomad guru and renowned poet who lived 4,000 years ago. It is said that in his meditations he discovered the secret to weightlessness, which allowed him to unlock the latent ability of flight. This essentially allowed Laghima to become untethered from the earth and live the last forty years of his life without ever touching the ground. On the freedom from ourselves, Guru Laghima said “Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong.” To free ourselves from fear and the other things that bind us, we are reminded by one of his most famous poems: 出尘世羁绊 入虚无如风 Let go of the earthly tether, (and) enter the void as wind. Or more popularly Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void. And become wind. Not by seeking freedom but by letting go even of the yearning for freedom and all earthly desires and concerns can we become as wind, passing untethered to the earth.
For me example, I suffer from ocd, I was told not to think or react to certain things that weren't causing any distress in me(unlike other thoughts which are normally intrusive), and one of them was existentialism and consciousness. It surpressed my free will
Freedom is our capacity to solve every single one of our own problems. Any problem that we can't solve for ourselves is to the degree that we aren't free. Wherever we seek permission is because we're reliant and this is why we must develop ourselves to employ the wisdom we can demonstrate.

You are my favorite RUclips channel! I do understand that in true sense, you and me are one, and the one who is "understanding" itself is the greatest shackle. But I often seem to forget it.... and later on realize it once again only to forget it once again in an endless loop.
I think I thought about something like this when I was 11... or 12. Anyways I've always been a fan of anime and I just observed them living their lives to their fullest from the other side of the screen. I've imagined myself living in the anime with them, imagining myself as a pirate or a ninja but then at times I'd compare the character's lives and the life I live in my imagination and compared them to my actual life. I always yearned to live like them but I just never felt fulfilled in life. When I compare my life to there's, it was like I was breathing but not living. I thought about how society worked in the anime compared to real life. I had thoughts like society here is always binding you restricting you of freedom. Every day was the same; I would wake up, go to school, come home, do my homework eat, watch anime, then sleep. There was no meaning in any of that. I had no goals. Nothing I felt devoted to. Nothing I looked forward to. Society has just about everything planned out for me. I have to go to school for about the first two decades of my life to secure an undetermined future that I had no interest in. I started losing interest in everything in my life. I stopped caring about family, friends, grades and pretty much everything else. Everything seemed dull to me. I wouldn't mind dying, but I don't mind living either. Honestly if I had to choose, I would prefer dying because I was interested in what would happen. My parents were religious but I've always questioned their religion from a young age so I'm secretly not actually a believer but if they knew that who knows what would happen to me. Anyways I've never tried suicide because I'm not the greatest fan of pain, but if someone tried to threaten my life, I wouldn't be phased. So anyways, I fully acknowledged that I had no freedom. I feel like I went completely off topic, but this comment is too long so I don't want to read over it.
Damn. I can't believe how much I've grown in the span of 8 months. Never thought I'd be able to see the world as I do today. It goes to say how much perspective really matters. I've changed so much.
You said it pretty well. So if we could escape our limitations we might eventually end up like God. But that's a conundrum. I think we're meant to have these limitations so we can keep reaching out and finding things. Maybe our experiences will be tallied up so we can all learn together
Everybody is a slave to something -askeladd (lucius artorius castus) ironically people who fight for absolute freedom are slaves to the concept of absolute freedom. No one is truly free.
When you dive underwater, those few seconds before you rise to the surface again. That is freedom. When you fall, that second you spend falling before you hit the ground, time doesn't exist, you are flying, you are a passenger yet you are a ruled by nothing. That is freedom. In chaos when something devastates your world to the point where none of the normal rules complie, you get shot into a new realm where you are a passenger once again, and nothing is expected of you at the same time. That is freedom.
Yes this is like a prison sentence, like being on death row, but with no set date, and if you have people who depend on you, you don’t get to choose the date.

What if death is the only feasible way I can free myself from everything, free me from this life i never wished to have. Am I wrong to think about that?
I think it's a normal thought to have. As for following thru? That's not the type of thing that should be answered by a YT commenter. Could just be dealing with a heavy dose of nihilism at this point in your life. I say, try to enjoy your free trial membership of "LIFE" because the early termination fees could be rough...
@@amorscientiae No problem. I'm not exactly a hopeless optimist but I'll deal with whatever experiences come my way for now and by the time I'm 50... maybe I'll re-evaluate.
Yeah, maybe true freedom is death itself but I am still going to enjoy my life until the end. It's like a challenging video game, you are bound by some rules. If you can play by their rules and come out on top, then you have truly won.
Meditate is freedom and the answer to all of our questions, put the work in. Perceive nothing, observe the void. You are the universe, your consciousness is the universe
With empty hands we can pick up new things, with a empty mind we can pick up a whole new life.

Not by seeking freedom but by letting go even of the yearning for freedom and all earthly desires and concerns can we become as wind, passing untethered to the earth.
For me example, I suffer from ocd, I was told not to think or react to certain things that weren't causing any distress in me(unlike other thoughts which are normally intrusive), and one of them was existentialism and consciousness. It surpressed my free will
I am free. Whatever I do, however I do it, it's all my own free will.
I dont know about that Thanos 😂
You have no free will. Watch his video " One thought can change everything"
it is about time that you start podcast, it would be great to take a long walk and just listen to your voice
HE dont Swing that way Sorry 🙃
Freedom is our capacity to solve every single one of our own problems. Any problem that we can't solve for ourselves is to the degree that we aren't free. Wherever we seek permission is because we're reliant and this is why we must develop ourselves to employ the wisdom we can demonstrate.
Always at the right time these upload mysteriously
Haven't seen yet but already welcoming Existential crisis
Damn, dude. You sometimes (I mean often) produce such a powerful stuff. I mean, damn, dude. You must be an outstanding human being. Thanks. And your ad policy is admired as well.
I was just talking to a friend about this and...BOOM 20 mins later this video pops up. Thank you!
Almost magical that you posted this after i had just been pondering this same concept just earlier today... my conclusion was that ignorance is bliss,
As a regular viewer, I typically find your videos curious, unusual, and interesting. This one was made a much deeper emotional impact for some reason. So soothing and calm. Thank you.
I’ve been thinking about this so much lately and it felt amazing to hear it visualized and see that other people thinks these thoughts too
This is at the very minimum on par with the greatest things I’ve ever heard in my life. Thank you so much
If there was a golden button for the best channel in the world and the most deep and touching channel, I would press it and it still wouldn't be enough to describe how touched and greatfull I am that this channel exists. Thank you, all the love🙏

@@TheGhjgjgjgjgjg So I quote a Beatle, you threaten to kill me. Totally makes you look like a rational, reasonable adult who hasn't had their mind rotted by political incited hatred.
I just had the most freeing experience today and then i found this video.
It's weird I've been trapped my whole life so i felt that way. Literally nothing has changed but I feel I am free now for some weird reason. Maybe I have changed.
Yea ur tripping. I On the other hand Need To go take a Shit. BTW that's the problem with U People stop worrying so much about life and think about the small things like taking a Shit Because at the end that's what matter in life.
ah yes, yet another thoughtful abstract concept for me to get a headache thinking about. Great videos keep up the good work.
There are not enough comments acknowledging the beauty and originality of the editing. While I am accustomed to the quality and value of the thoughts provided, this video is an art piece beyond that. Cheers man. And while I'm at it: >Notes from the end of everything< is a great book. Thank you so much.
Freedom isn't the ability to do whatever you want to. Freedom is *not doing* what you don't want to do.
As Aemin Alert has said that if you go out of your way to find freedom all your life then you are not free you are just a salve to it
The greatest freedom, of fully letting go: nirvana
Hush!
Thoughts and love to my existential brothers and sisters...
This channel and Academy of Ideas are my favorite.

"When we cease trying to square circles" Beautifully put.
I love the dreamy voice, like a clear inner voice. Supremely intelligent and insightful, possibly pure genius as if from a loving superior world. It flies high above our daily narrow naratives as if almost to mock our shallowness. The work of a beautiful mind delivered with a voice aquainted with harmony.
Dear god. I haven't checked on uploads from Pursuit of Wonder in a while... And almost forgot what I've been missing.
This video speaks Arthur Schopenhauer so much. People dislike him but his philosophy as well as nihilism and existentialism is the way life works.
Me after watching this: crying in erreh
You are my favorite RUclips channel! I do understand that in true sense, you and me are one, and the one who is "understanding" itself is the greatest shackle. But I often seem to forget it.... and later on realize it once again only to forget it once again in an endless loop.
I think I thought about something like this when I was 11... or 12. Anyways I've always been a fan of anime and I just observed them living their lives to their fullest from the other side of the screen. I've imagined myself living in the anime with them, imagining myself as a pirate or a ninja but then at times I'd compare the character's lives and the life I live in my imagination and compared them to my actual life. I always yearned to live like them but I just never felt fulfilled in life. When I compare my life to there's, it was like I was breathing but not living. I thought about how society worked in the anime compared to real life. I had thoughts like society here is always binding you restricting you of freedom. Every day was the same; I would wake up, go to school, come home, do my homework eat, watch anime, then sleep. There was no meaning in any of that. I had no goals. Nothing I felt devoted to. Nothing I looked forward to. Society has just about everything planned out for me. I have to go to school for about the first two decades of my life to secure an undetermined future that I had no interest in. I started losing interest in everything in my life. I stopped caring about family, friends, grades and pretty much everything else. Everything seemed dull to me. I wouldn't mind dying, but I don't mind living either. Honestly if I had to choose, I would prefer dying because I was interested in what would happen. My parents were religious but I've always questioned their religion from a young age so I'm secretly not actually a believer but if they knew that who knows what would happen to me. Anyways I've never tried suicide because I'm not the greatest fan of pain, but if someone tried to threaten my life, I wouldn't be phased. So anyways, I fully acknowledged that I had no freedom. I feel like I went completely off topic, but this comment is too long so I don't want to read over it.
Damn. I can't believe how much I've grown in the span of 8 months. Never thought I'd be able to see the world as I do today. It goes to say how much perspective really matters. I've changed so much.
@@purp1whale468 can you please explain what changed your outlook over the 8 months?
This video was absolutely wonderful, thank you so much for your time and effort into making it 🙏
This channel is underrated 🙇🏽♂️
Really the constraints of the mind only lifted completely when I tried lsd. I could think as far as I wanted and it was awesome
You said it pretty well. So if we could escape our limitations we might eventually end up like God. But that's a conundrum. I think we're meant to have these limitations so we can keep reaching out and finding things. Maybe our experiences will be tallied up so we can all learn together
Absolutely. True freedom is completely impossible for anything living or conscious, for it requires mindlessness.
8:10 yes, thank you.
Everybody is a slave to something -askeladd (lucius artorius castus) ironically people who fight for absolute freedom are slaves to the concept of absolute freedom. No one is truly free.
This channel makes me feel home .. The kind of conversation i would wanna have ..🔥🔥
Alright alright, clam down Eren Jaeger
Lmaooooo
your desire to be free keeps you shackled by desire.
eren is quacking
If you exist, you cannot be free, if there is no you, you cannot be contained by anything. That is so metal bruh.

I was looking for a comment like this!
tears, dope video this one.;

When you dive underwater, those few seconds before you rise to the surface again. That is freedom.
When you fall, that second you spend falling before you hit the ground, time doesn't exist, you are flying, you are a passenger yet you are a ruled by nothing. That is freedom.
In chaos when something devastates your world to the point where none of the normal rules complie, you get shot into a new realm where you are a passenger once again, and nothing is expected of you at the same time. That is freedom.
ayo I love that part 😊
Yes this is like a prison sentence, like being on death row, but with no set date, and if you have people who depend on you, you don’t get to choose the date.
"The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide"
Dude, if only Eren had watched this vid
You sir don't know how much I appreciate this amazing videos. I'm from Costa Rica, my english it's 40-100, but this helps me a lot, btw the info it's priceless for the young generations and anyone interested in learning something different. 💯😎💪🏻
Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures give a very similar feeling to this video. (Not that this video is unfinished, it’s perfect
Perfect means finished, actually, in Latin. Just a fun fact
This. This is what i needed.
What if death is the only feasible way I can free myself from everything, free me from this life i never wished to have. Am I wrong to think about that?
I think it's a normal thought to have. As for following thru? That's not the type of thing that should be answered by a YT commenter.
Could just be dealing with a heavy dose of nihilism at this point in your life. I say, try to enjoy your free trial membership of "LIFE" because the early termination fees could be rough...
@@RustCole01 if there'd be any system glitch to come, now is the best time. appreciate it 🙇🏻♂️❤️（what you've said)
@@amorscientiae No problem. I'm not exactly a hopeless optimist but I'll deal with whatever experiences come my way for now and by the time I'm 50... maybe I'll re-evaluate.
Yeah, maybe true freedom is death itself but I am still going to enjoy my life until the end. It's like a challenging video game, you are bound by some rules. If you can play by their rules and come out on top, then you have truly won.
@@Vik1919 I'm mostly AFK. :D
Meditate is freedom and the answer to all of our questions, put the work in. Perceive nothing, observe the void. You are the universe, your consciousness is the universe
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates 🎈
