Socrates says “If you don’t get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don’t want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can’t hold on to it forever”.

@@andresavage9109 I have learned that it is a process. You first acknowledge something you aren't satisfied with about yourself, and you go from there. Maybe it's a consumption of a food or drug. Maybe it's a behavior you find undesirable. You first acknowledge it, and then you attempt to stop it. You will come to find, if you are being honest and observant, that there is much more attached to that thing you want to refrain from. For example, I stopped smoking marijuana about 18 months ago. I once used it for my social anxiety and my chronic physical pain. And it seemed to work, until it didn't. Eventually, I realized that it wasn't actually taking away my pain, nor my social anxiety, it was just helping me to ignore it. And it also came with some additional costs- it interfered with my ability to create and recall memories, my ability to discern, and this might sound superficial, but I didn't like looking under the influence- the red eyes, and sleepy look, I found unattractive. I also didn't like the headaches and disorienting feeling it sometimes caused. So, I was honest with myself and I saw marijuana for what it was -a distraction - and I decided to stop. In the year and half of my sobriety, I have smoked 3 or 4 times. Rather than having black and white thinking, in those few times I gave in , rather than beat myself up, I observed myself. I took note of what led up to me deciding to give in... And I also took note of the guilt I felt, and I listened to it rather than trying to make it go away. I also allowed myself to be understanding of my own limitations as a human being without judgement. Funny thing I learned a long the way is : I don't have social anxiety. I never did. I was literally socializing with people I didn't have a connection with, who I actually didn't want to be around, and marijuana helped me to tolerate them. I thought maybe it was because I didn't want to be alone that I tolerated them. But I found out I am okay with being alone, I just had poor self image, poor self esteem, and I was afraid to make friends with people I liked because I thought I was unlikeable. This is just a glimpse into some of the things that came to light in this process. You have to trust in the process. And it's in the mistakes, it's in the process, that you discover the healing, the magic, the self love, the truth of who you are. If you think you can snap your fingers and become completely disciplined over night, you are doing yourself a disservice. We are more complex, more complicated creatures than our rational mind gives us credit for. Just imagine all the "gods" that would be walking the Earth if we could just decide to be something and then become that overnight! I've also come to realize there is a force - call it Spirit, call it God, call it Tao- the name doesn't matter, but there is something in our environment that helps guide us if we pay attention. Don't become hyper-focused on achievement. Set your intentions, set your goals, and don't worry too much about the means of accomplishing them. At the end of the day, I realized my wanting to stop using marijuana had nothing to do with what I thought about the marijuana itself. Marijuana can be good and bad, the context matters. I had set an intention to be healthy. And life has led me on my way to better health- mental, physical, spiritual. Marijuana was the training wills (pun). Now I'm riding without them. Marijuana had it's time in my life, that time is now over. When we find discipline hard, it is usually a resistance to change, and where there is resistance, there is something unresolved within you. Something wants to get your attention before you move on, so to speak . What ever you are struggling with has a lesson for you, and it's up to you to understand what it is. I have found these lessons to be like Russian dolls, there are layers to the learning. Life is very efficient, and you must understand that you are exactly where you are meant to be. Although you want to move forward, you will experience the same things until you listen, understand, and receive the wisdom necessary to move forward . The best way to achieve discipline is not through hard work and resistance of the external factors, but through understanding the internal factors that are leading you to those behaviors. Saying "this is bad, I won't do it anymore" isn't sufficient in getting you to stop . Even if you stop that one specific behavior, you will resort to expressing it in another form. Because again, it isn't the external thing that is the problem. The problem, so to speak, is something within you. And get this, you're not going to figure it out by just trying to use your mind. You will only project what you think it is, not what it actually is . The roots will be revealed in the process. We often think the destination is the gold, but it is the journey that bestows the treasures. Best of wishes on your journey. 🌺
Love this! Once we notice that we're slaves to hormones, outer experiences and the uncontrolled mind, we have the option to take measures to free ourselves from it. 😌
I am nothing without self discipline. My lusts and impulses would quickly enslave me and ruin my peaceful life. I am a man walking 5 dogs on 5 leashes...one dog is Sex, one is Anger, one is Appetite, one is Fear, and one is Greed. They pull me, but I have trained them to obey me. I love them, because each dog saved my life, multiple times, on an evolutionary timeline.
How to master self control by Socrates: 1. Beeing in control of Bodily desires..because they distract us and affect our capacity of reasoning. 2.Being Just..is needed to get your three parts of your Soul (Reason,Spirit, Apettite) in balance. 3.Knowing yourself.. to recognise weakness thus you can manage it.
To the *worthwhile person* seeing this, your dream is not dead. Don’t allow the past and current pains and hurts stop and define you. You’re more than a conqueror. Rise up and put yourself together. Keep pushing your future depends on it. I wish you all the best in life ❤️.
I feel that mastering self control is the key to true happiness. Almost everything around us give us pleasure and ultimately dopamine, which after the lack of it, makes us "sad". Only by self control, one is able to reflect upon his/her actions and be more resilient in life.
Impossible without God's help through his son who died on our behalf....If we seek him with all our heart we will find him....so many of transformed lives and testimonies if you are willing and have eyes to see. We are broken and so is the World...It needs it's Savior
I studied Socrates and a few more philosophers in college death is something that we all have to experience that being said why not enjoy and try to achieve the things that you want. Self control and self thought is very important.
By simply conversing with others, asking questions, and hearing their answers like Socrates once did, one often finds that great wisdom can arise from ostensibly inconsequential conversations. In the very least, conversing with a plethora of different people will provide some insights you would not be aware of if you choose instead to forsake conversing with them.
@@deansmith230 I suppose, but even in those cases with unsavoury people you won’t really be able to confirm their negative traits until you engage with them yourself, this differs from going off of secondhand knowledge like someone you know saying how terrible they are. Additionally, there are still insights you can gain from these engagements. They will probably be primarily negative assessments surely, but they are still useful assessments nonetheless.
@@haakonthegood17 well I'm no Socrates, but I do have the ability to use reason and seek balance, so I guess what I'm getting at is, there are just innate things our soul knows, that our soul will not guide us to denied, no matter what our good nature tells us.
I agree I had an amazing conversation when I was bed ridden in hospital with a security guard that was placed beside me to watch a fellow in bed trying to run away. His experiences he shared really helped me with the feeling I had of wanting to beat up my dad. Amazing from nothing it’s like the universe gives us what we need if we open ourselves up to new experiences
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. Friedrich Nietzsche
I know Socrates is a much more intelligent man that I am, but in my experience the unjust love much more enjoyable and peaceful lives than the just. People who pursue worldly pleasures tend to only have issues that are menial (and often contrived by the unjust just for the sake of the “excitement” of having some form of suffering). Not saying that being unjust is the correct path, but I do believe, on this Earth at least, it’s the most beneficial for an individual human being.
Yet in another book it recalls his dialogue with Diotima (who I now believe was his Spirit Guide?), who tells him that in controlling his passions he's not doing something as wise as he thinks... She says that in actuality what its doing is keeping him from his true godlike self. So she actually encouraged him to engage in his passions so as to be free from them.
Rumi was a Sufi.. love being the goal.. love humanity love creations .. justice is most important for any society . However, forgiveness on individual level is higher as love takes over.
There is self control...good luck...and there is surrender of ones will to a higher power...auto pilot...know the wisdom from scripture and you have the answer before the situation is encountered.
4:10 i can tell you if realy try to avoide something like sex and other good experiences for your body you will also hurt your soul and get sick in multi ways. Its a wrong belive that those things disctract you from beeing happy, You cant just do things for what you think is your soul and you also cant just do things only for your body to get good feelings, you balance your life, its all connected so you cant just concentrate your behaviors on one thing.
Beautiful presentation- but I think you are conflating a lot of stuff into Socrates philosophy- i.e. modern self-improvement and motivational stuff that doesn’t belong to Socrates.
Look to you Creator ..He says we are fearfully and wonderfully made..all our righteousness is as filthy rags .We need our One.Die to your self destructiveness daily.Be a good blessing and care without anything in return.
Another great video that I'll write in my journal. I can say that learning and applying philosophy will be on my daily routine and this will bring happiness and success, I am sure. Thank you Philosophies for Life.
I mastered self control and it's one of my treasures I exercise frequently but I live outside society but I cover my life choices by blending in but not,I'm not here to save anyone so I won't tell you anymore about life
So true that the Great Masters in history are in agreement, men put them in conflict. These same teachings you will find from Buddha, Jesus (Gnostic Christ..that were exterminated), Krishna, Gandhi etc in their corresponding time. Like David R. Hawkins said “ Be passionate about God, not religion “, in other words look inside you, not outside you if you want to find true wisdom and happiness.
Philosophers like Socrates and others are no more being produced. There are many beautiful and wonderful people who are creating a universe filled with love and peace. But if the scale tilts the other way Divine universe will be forced to take action which it tries to avoid by giving us repeated warnings. We can only wish and pray beautiful humans multiply 70 times 7 who will love peace over flow. Thank you beautiful video. Love and peace to all.
The answer you are looking for is: From the ancient wise men. The purpose of any Lifetime.. You are not the body and mind you are Eternal Spirit trapped in the body, you have forgotten over many incarnations. The Matrix is your own bio computer virtual reality point of view brain machine that keeps You in the illusion of being a physical Being in a physical world via the nervous system and the five senses ( the Fallen Angel metaphor and Original sin or Original mistake ). Meditation-Separation is the practice of putting the body and mind to sleep but staying Awake and Alert inside separate from the body and mind until you EXPERIENCE yourself as Eternal Spirit again. If you remain in this state after Meditation its called Nirvana, Samadhi The Tao, born again Jesus, Cosmic Consciousness, Heaven within Luke 17-21, Awake as Eternal Spirit again, Garden of Eden, Virtue Socrates and the stoic saints, Obtaining the Golden Fleece Greek mythology, Leaving the Body but not dying Socrates, Ramana Maharshi, Krishnamurti and leaving the known ( the body and mind as a reference). The practice of Dying by Socrates. The Eternal Now ( of consciousness prior to all creation- Nostradamus, Satori b etc all the same. That is the Truth ❤ Pass it on ....Please .😇
" When Socrates was poisoned, the chief judge said to him, “I feel sorry that I had to agree with the majority. They all wanted to kill you. And you are such a strange fellow… I gave you three alternatives, but you did not accept.” The chief judge had tremendous respect, but what to do? The majority was shouting, “He should be killed because he is corrupting our youth. He is giving them ideas which are against our tradition, against our religion. He is making them skeptical of the old and the ancient. He is making them explore the reality on their own, and not just believe in knowledge and ancient scriptures. He is destroying our tradition. We don’t want this man; this man should be destroyed.” But the chief judge understood the whole situation. He said to Socrates… because in those days in Greece there were city states; Athens was a city state and the Athenian law was not applicable outside Athens. So he said, “The first simple choice is, you just move out of Athens, just outside the boundary line, and there you can make your school, your academy. Those who want to learn will come there.” Socrates said, “That will show my fear of death… and some day I am going to die, I am old enough. These people are too impatient; I will die by myself. So to escape from Athens just for a few years… my being does not support such an idea. I cannot act out of fear. I would rather accept death, because you can only kill my body but not my spirit. And the body is going to die anyway, any moment!” The chief judge said, “The second alternative is if you promise not to talk about truth, to stop teaching, you can live in Athens.” He said, “Then what will be the point of living? To me, truth is higher than life. Life comes and goes; truth remains. No, I cannot accept that.” The chief judge said, “Then the last thing is that you can say, ‘I am sorry that I have hurt people’s feelings.’ Just a simple apology will make me stand in your favor, and you can be saved from this ugly act of poisoning you to death.” Socrates said, “That is not possible, because I have not done anything wrong. I cannot say I am sorry. I can only say I am immensely happy, and the question of an apology does not arise. For centuries you all will be condemned because you poisoned me. And one thing I would like you to know is that your name will be remembered only because you gave the judgment for my death; otherwise, nobody will remember you.” This is the man of individuality, who does not care for his life, for his body, who has no fear. He accepted death with joy."
It's beauty of the sucrat! He given precious knowledge of life we can't forget him he taught how to control of our life it's excellent💯💯 Thank you for making brilliant knowledgeable video🙌🙌
I agree. But we must realize that our desires are mostly beyond our control. Some people are more prone to addictions of all kind then others. If Socrates was true we would live happily until death, but we do not. We are not able to keep our thinking under rational control.
GOD loves you enough to send HIS only SON to save you and if you repent and turn from your sins and be baptized in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON and THE HOLY SPIRIT. ((if you haven't )
I watched an intense video today on Socrates' self-defense during his trial - His Original Speech Thank God I found this video: ruclips.net/video/sEKS6_XrgzU/видео.htmlsi=gDjah9REBMTn73Os It literally gets crazy after 6 minutes. Had goosebumps while watching it! His words are full of wisdom that connects the seen with the unseen!
I am here, Socrates, the Greek. I knew that you thought of me and I was attracted by your thought. If such spirit is in rapport with you or has a similar soul quality; the soul condition is the great medium of attraction. I have been with you before, and there is a rapport growing out of your soul qualities. I am now a believer in the Christian doctrine of the soul’s immortality, and in the teachings of Jesus as to the way to obtain the Divine Love of the Father, as you are, and, hence, our qualities of soul are similar. I am now a follower of the Master and believe in his Divine mission on earth, although he had not come to earth when I lived. After I became a spirit I realized my belief in the continuity of life after death, and lived in the spirit world a great many years after Jesus came before I learned and believed his larger truth of immortality. Of course, when I taught I had only a hope which was almost a certainty that I should continue to live through all eternity, but I had no other foundation for that belief than the deductions from my reasoning powers and the observations of the workings of nature. I had heard of the visitations of the spirits of the departed, but had never had any personal experiences in that direction, but I readily believed it to be true. My conviction of the truth of a future continuance was so strong that it amounted to a certainty, and hence when I died, I comforted Plato and my other friends and disciples, by telling them that they must not say that Socrates will die but rather that his body will die; his soul will live forever in fields Elysian. They believed me, and Plato afterwards enlarged on my belief. And Socrates did not die, but as soon as his breath left the body, which was not very painful even though the fatal hemlock did its work sure and quickly, he went into the spirit world a living entity, full of the happiness that the realizations of his beliefs gave him. My entrance into the spirit world was not a dark one, but full of light and happiness, for I was met by some of my disciples who had passed over before me and who had progressed very much in the intellectual development. I then thought that my place of reception was the heaven of good spirits, for there were good spirits to meet me and carry me to my home. I was then possessed of what I thought that I was in the home of the blessed; and I continued… Received 7/8/1915, new-birth.net
It’s impressive how close he came to discovering the God that would be worshipped by his country centuries later, just through his own thought process. This was hundreds of years before Christ let alone the relevance of the Hebrew/Jewish God to the Greeks.
Practice this daily - Using your belly to breathe. Silently Exhale out your nose for 15 seconds slowly & get all the air out (pull belly in) (Relax belly) Silently Inhale for 15 seconds slowly when full hold briefly and repeat process. Always do it in a controlled manner. Work your way up to 30 seconds on both the in & out breathes. Do it for 10-15mins at first then when your good at it for as long as you want. Do it in the morning 15 mins and evening 15 mins . During the day or any time you feel an emotion or a problem arises start to take in a few of these breathes (silently)the practice is perfected when you can stay calm not matter what. You can also test yourself by putting yourself in a situation that would normally bother you but only when you feel the benefits of this practice. Been doing it for 30 years it's never let me down just practice and you'll be fine.
So i have questions to ones who come here. Don't old people randomly lose interest in sex as they advances towards old age? I mean i m 20 now. And has no to little interest or desire for sex or masturbation. Maybe once a 3 month time period.and also i eat only once or twice per day since i turned 18 i feel less hungry.(i had addiction for beers,weeds and sex now i don't do anything beside ciggerate) where does that put me in?
Good Morning !!! Sitting here admiring the houseplants !!! And you know what, during the slightly ligh pre-dawn the houseplants exude a stream of smoke. This stream of smoke is the plants energy !!!

Every single video I have watched on this channel has the same music, and I don't see how someone could overlook that in the process of making them. No matter how much I want to hear the content of these videos, I will not be able to get past the annoyance of hearing the same repetitive noises over and over to do so. I'm also not alone in this sentiment. You'll do much better to fix this issue, but I have no investment in the matter, so do as you please.
Socrates could not control his own urge to humiliate the ruling classes in public for his own pleasure, to his end. So, did he succeed in his own preachings? He is described by Plato as partaking in the symposium, a drinking party wherein sexual conduct was the norm. Like us, he was a slave to his desires, though he may have diagnosed this slavery.
Socrates says “If you don’t get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don’t want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can’t hold on to it forever”.

He was an initiate, we have to remember the importance of self control is to labour in the building of the Lord's temple.
I studied Socrates and a few more philosophers in college death is something that we all have to experience that being said why not enjoy and try to achieve the things that you want. Self control and self thought is very important.

I really like Socrates' sayings, I will look for more Socrates quotes
By simply conversing with others, asking questions, and hearing their answers like Socrates once did, one often finds that great wisdom can arise from ostensibly inconsequential conversations. In the very least, conversing with a plethora of different people will provide some insights you would not be aware of if you choose instead to forsake conversing with them.

Food, sex, alcohol. It's so simple, yet so hard.
Some deep comment to convince those on RUclips I’m smart.

She says that in actuality what its doing is keeping him from his true godlike self.

I really enjoyed this, thank you. It reminds me of Buddhism, how to break free of karma.
Brittney Michelle. Ur saying absolutely right.
4:10 i can tell you if realy try to avoide something like sex and other good experiences for your body you will also hurt your soul and get sick in multi ways. Its a wrong belive that those things disctract you from beeing happy, You cant just do things for what you think is your soul and you also cant just do things only for your body to get good feelings, you balance your life, its all connected so you cant just concentrate your behaviors on one thing.
Beautiful presentation- but I think you are conflating a lot of stuff into Socrates philosophy- i.e. modern self-improvement and motivational stuff that doesn’t belong to Socrates.
Look to you Creator ..He says we are fearfully and wonderfully made..all our righteousness is as filthy rags .We need our One.Die to your self destructiveness daily.Be a good blessing and care without anything in return.
Love the irony that Socrates did not write about any of his philosophical ideas but this video recommends writing every day.
Another great video that I'll write in my journal. I can say that learning and applying philosophy will be on my daily routine and this will bring happiness and success, I am sure.
Thank you Philosophies for Life.
if you can self control than probably you don't need a VPN😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣. Just joking
I mastered self control and it's one of my treasures I exercise frequently but I live outside society but I cover my life choices by blending in but not,I'm not here to save anyone so I won't tell you anymore about life
Suffering,through Saints, through Saints there is suffering,🎯🎯🎯😁🕯️👁️👀👁️🕯️
No the body creates anger. The soul is what governs the mind and the body.
So true that the Great Masters in history are in agreement, men put them in conflict. These same teachings you will find from Buddha, Jesus (Gnostic Christ..that were exterminated), Krishna, Gandhi etc in their corresponding time.
Like David R. Hawkins said “ Be passionate about God, not religion “, in other words look inside you, not outside you if you want to find true wisdom and happiness.
Philosophers like Socrates and others are no more being produced. There are many beautiful and wonderful people who are creating a universe filled with love and peace. But if the scale tilts the other way Divine universe will be forced to take action which it tries to avoid by giving us repeated warnings. We can only wish and pray beautiful humans multiply 70 times 7 who will love peace over flow. Thank you beautiful video. Love and peace to all.
which software you use to make animated videos..?
The answer you are looking for is:
From the ancient wise men.
The purpose of any Lifetime..
You are not the body and mind you are Eternal Spirit trapped in the body, you have forgotten over many incarnations.
The Matrix is your own bio computer virtual reality point of view brain machine that keeps You in the illusion of being a physical Being in a physical world via the nervous system and the five senses ( the Fallen Angel metaphor and Original sin or Original mistake ).
Meditation-Separation is the practice of putting the body and mind to sleep but staying Awake and Alert inside separate from the body and mind until you EXPERIENCE yourself as Eternal Spirit again.
If you remain in this state after Meditation its called Nirvana, Samadhi The Tao, born again Jesus, Cosmic Consciousness, Heaven within Luke 17-21, Awake as Eternal Spirit again, Garden of Eden, Virtue Socrates and the stoic saints, Obtaining the Golden Fleece Greek mythology, Leaving the Body but not dying Socrates, Ramana Maharshi, Krishnamurti and leaving the known ( the body and mind as a reference). The practice of Dying by Socrates. The Eternal Now ( of consciousness prior to all creation- Nostradamus, Satori b
etc all the same.
That is the Truth ❤
Pass it on ....Please .😇
get off the shrooms bro
You should not ignore ur body desires.Socrates never said that. You just need to have prudence.
"Without desires" would be the end of mankind.
Anything that causes pain is good for you unless it is caused by injury.
" When Socrates was poisoned, the chief judge said to him, “I feel sorry that I had to agree with the majority. They all wanted to kill you. And you are such a strange fellow… I gave you three alternatives, but you did not accept.”
The chief judge had tremendous respect, but what to do? The majority was shouting, “He should be killed because he is corrupting our youth. He is giving them ideas which are against our tradition, against our religion. He is making them skeptical of the old and the ancient. He is making them explore the reality on their own, and not just believe in knowledge and ancient scriptures. He is destroying our tradition. We don’t want this man; this man should be destroyed.”
But the chief judge understood the whole situation. He said to Socrates… because in those days in Greece there were city states; Athens was a city state and the Athenian law was not applicable outside Athens. So he said, “The first simple choice is, you just move out of Athens, just outside the boundary line, and there you can make your school, your academy. Those who want to learn will come there.”
Socrates said, “That will show my fear of death… and some day I am going to die, I am old enough. These people are too impatient; I will die by myself. So to escape from Athens just for a few years… my being does not support such an idea. I cannot act out of fear. I would rather accept death, because you can only kill my body but not my spirit. And the body is going to die anyway, any moment!”
The chief judge said, “The second alternative is if you promise not to talk about truth, to stop teaching, you can live in Athens.”
He said, “Then what will be the point of living? To me, truth is higher than life. Life comes and goes; truth remains. No, I cannot accept that.”
The chief judge said, “Then the last thing is that you can say, ‘I am sorry that I have hurt people’s feelings.’ Just a simple apology will make me stand in your favor, and you can be saved from this ugly act of poisoning you to death.”
Socrates said, “That is not possible, because I have not done anything wrong. I cannot say I am sorry. I can only say I am immensely happy, and the question of an apology does not arise. For centuries you all will be condemned because you poisoned me. And one thing I would like you to know is that your name will be remembered only because you gave the judgment for my death; otherwise, nobody will remember you.”
This is the man of individuality, who does not care for his life, for his body, who has no fear. He accepted death with joy."
Truth is life....!
There is no life without the "TRUTH".
🌷🙏
Hope' Faith's love's the greater of all" love♥️🎯🎯🎯
It's beauty of the sucrat! He given precious knowledge of life we can't forget him he taught how to control of our life it's excellent💯💯
Thank you for making brilliant knowledgeable video🙌🙌
I agree. But we must realize that our desires are mostly beyond our control. Some people are more prone to addictions of all kind then others. If Socrates was true we would live happily until death, but we do not. We are not able to keep our thinking under rational control.
Great Message . My thoughts self control is the ultimate action. Know yourself. Your self truths.
GOD loves you enough to send HIS only SON to save you and if you repent and turn from your sins and be baptized in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON and THE HOLY SPIRIT. ((if you haven't )
I watched an intense video today on Socrates' self-defense during his trial - His Original Speech
Thank God I found this video:
ruclips.net/video/sEKS6_XrgzU/видео.htmlsi=gDjah9REBMTn73Os
It literally gets crazy after 6 minutes. Had goosebumps while watching it!
His words are full of wisdom that connects the seen with the unseen!
Lol I bet shoes were a new thing a few thousand years ago. Not surprising their would be groups against them.
I am here, Socrates, the Greek.
I knew that you thought of me and I was attracted by your thought. If such spirit is in rapport with you or has a similar soul quality; the soul condition is the great medium of attraction.
I have been with you before, and there is a rapport growing out of your soul qualities. I am now a believer in the Christian doctrine of the soul’s immortality, and in the teachings of Jesus as to the way to obtain the Divine Love of the Father, as you are, and, hence, our qualities of soul are similar.
I am now a follower of the Master and believe in his Divine mission on earth, although he had not come to earth when I lived. After I became a spirit I realized my belief in the continuity of life after death, and lived in the spirit world a great many years after Jesus came before I learned and believed his larger truth of immortality.
Of course, when I taught I had only a hope which was almost a certainty that I should continue to live through all eternity, but I had no other foundation for that belief than the deductions from my reasoning powers and the observations of the workings of nature.
I had heard of the visitations of the spirits of the departed, but had never had any personal experiences in that direction, but I readily believed it to be true.
My conviction of the truth of a future continuance was so strong that it amounted to a certainty, and hence when I died, I comforted Plato and my other friends and disciples, by telling them that they must not say that Socrates will die but rather that his body will die; his soul will live forever in fields Elysian. They believed me, and Plato afterwards enlarged on my belief.
And Socrates did not die, but as soon as his breath left the body, which was not very painful even though the fatal hemlock did its work sure and quickly, he went into the spirit world a living entity, full of the happiness that the realizations of his beliefs gave him.
My entrance into the spirit world was not a dark one, but full of light and happiness, for I was met by some of my disciples who had passed over before me and who had progressed very much in the intellectual development. I then thought that my place of reception was the heaven of good spirits, for there were good spirits to meet me and carry me to my home. I was then possessed of what I thought that I was in the home of the blessed; and I continued…

It’s impressive how close he came to discovering the God that would be worshipped by his country centuries later, just through his own thought process. This was hundreds of years before Christ let alone the relevance of the Hebrew/Jewish God to the Greeks.
All I need is a f*cking peace of mind. An escape from emotional troubles. The ability to maintain calmness
Practice this daily -
Using your belly to breathe.
Silently Exhale out your nose for 15 seconds slowly & get all the air out (pull belly in)
(Relax belly) Silently Inhale for 15 seconds slowly when full hold briefly and repeat process.
Always do it in a controlled manner.
Work your way up to 30 seconds on both the in & out breathes.
Do it for 10-15mins at first then when your good at it for as long as you want.
Do it in the morning 15 mins and evening 15 mins .
During the day or any time you feel an emotion or a problem arises start to take in a few of these breathes (silently)the practice is perfected when you can stay calm not matter what.
You can also test yourself by putting yourself in a situation that would normally bother you but only when you feel the benefits of this practice.
Been doing it for 30 years it's never let me down just practice and you'll be fine.
@@kubotan26 Might be interesting to try this out. I wonder if this technique has a name or explanation?
So i have questions to ones who come here. Don't old people randomly lose interest in sex as they advances towards old age? I mean i m 20 now. And has no to little interest or desire for sex or masturbation. Maybe once a 3 month time period.and also i eat only once or twice per day since i turned 18 i feel less hungry.(i had addiction for beers,weeds and sex now i don't do anything beside ciggerate) where does that put me in?
Ladies and gentlemen, if you look at his build he is not a person whom control his intake. Educator yes. Doer, probably not. 😂
its not for inner satisfaction meanly for learning so you will know your weakness and improve yourlife not for show....👍🏼
The wisdom of Socrates is sponsored by McDonald's "what is loving it?".
Saints" full of faith,divine wisdom,'🎯🎯🎯🕯️🏆✨
moderation is key
I don’t agree with this video at all. It really glosses over the complexities of life. You’re only a prisoner if you think you are. Go be free
Thank you for the great insights. I am also a firm believer of Stoicism, and I upload similar videos aswell.
To me the entire conversation is paper or plastic , newspaper or flyer? Door Hanger or Choreography of delivery systems via radio and visual arts?
I was born knowing this!
It takes discipline to listen to your videos. Every three minutes a commercial starts blaring.
I found so much similarities to Buddha's philosophy inspite both are born in different places
One in east and another in west
Well... if someone else tries to tell you how to master "self-control"... then it's not self-control, but their control over you.
😊 Thank you for these thoughts from Socrates new ideas in my daily life.
💜I am trying to. Omg jus be. Enjoy this beautiful day and esp the ones that are on 24 7 lol
So… None of this is actually quotes nor written passages of Socrates? ……
Mistakes make masterful teachers.
Nas
Lack of evidence is not evidence of nothing.....Akunne................
the more you focus on achieving the unachievable goal of enlightenment, the more of your humanity will slip away.
Since we all sin, they only gave up one for another. Sex for Pride
Self control is simple
ill have to watch this again as i was eating food and looking at pron while tryig to wqtch this
Adhura gyan hamesha rakshas praviti ka hota h. Takat sirf kamzor ko chahye. Hail lord shiva
Fix the audio. Every “S” sound hurts my ears
Wonder how he got to 729x more happiness...
Socrates a scrub, Aristotle is way better
This genius met with a tragic end without recognition of his noble thoughts…, what a weird world! He was God personified 🙏 salutes
Rani Srikumar. Are you saying ture.
Good Morning !!! Sitting here admiring the houseplants !!! And you know what, during the slightly ligh pre-dawn the houseplants exude a stream of smoke. This stream of smoke is the plants energy !!! Try it sometimes and remain focused on the plants !!! Unbelievable baeutiful sight !!! ALLAHU AKBAR! ALHAMDULILLAH! SUBHANALLAH!!!
I love this 9ice one it change my life and thinking
Socrates on discipline. . .
That's "VIPer" talk. Sweet!
Every single video I have watched on this channel has the same music, and I don't see how someone could overlook that in the process of making them. No matter how much I want to hear the content of these videos, I will not be able to get past the annoyance of hearing the same repetitive noises over and over to do so. I'm also not alone in this sentiment. You'll do much better to fix this issue, but I have no investment in the matter, so do as you please.
Suffering- way to heaven,,,secret legend,,,leads the way' He,s the way the truth and life,🕯️👁️🎯👁️🕯️🙏🕯️🏆♥️
Socrates could not control his own urge to humiliate the ruling classes in public for his own pleasure, to his end. So, did he succeed in his own preachings? He is described by Plato as partaking in the symposium, a drinking party wherein sexual conduct was the norm. Like us, he was a slave to his desires, though he may have diagnosed this slavery.
Does this explain when your in love too? Lol
Just take your time and drink alot of water.
Very Good awareness Every time
I learned a lesson from this vedio
When is Socrates going to talk about self gratification. Taking care of oneself with pleasure. Before you go on a date? I'm so confused.
