As someone who grew up in Valencia but lives in London, it was so nice hearing your nuanced description of el Camino.
Ah well I'm delighted you enjoyed it!
That was wonderful James and it was great spending time with you on the Camino. Buen Camino my friend.....
Great to see you here Bill! And it was a true joy spending time with you
I can relate to a long hike being a profound, spiritual experience! ❤
Nothing beats it for me!
RUclips is lucky to have you!!
Thanks Dean for your kind words and generosity!
This was eminently enjoyable!! Big thank you on sharing the stages of your journey especially Nietschze/walks/aphoristic and your ocean experience.
Thanks Ryan! I think I'll articulate that Nietzschean/walking aphorism thing a bit more in future because it was a real bit revelation (for me anyway)
I just ran across your video and love your spiritual perspectives. Every time I go on long hikes, I feel a deep connection to the natures magic and let all my anxiousness dissipate like mist in the air. I wish you the very best and look forward to more of your content.
Welcome back! Can't wait to hear about this adventure.
Thanks n8! Love the thumbnail image btw I'm a bit fan of the long shadow pic!
Love the channel James! Great meeting you on the Camino, drinking beer and talking history as well. Cheers from Canada!
Thank you sir it was a pleasure! Great memories and good chats 🍻
Buen Camino, brother. The Camino is a truly humbling thing. It's tremendous that you it affected you in such a profound way. God be with you.
I'll be walking part of the Portugal Camino in a week's time. I can't wait!
Ooh nice I'm jealous I'd love to be heading back out there again! I'm thinking I might do the portugese next year. That and del Norte call to me but I'm going to wait and let it cook and see what comes up. Which way are you taking? I hear there's an inland route and a coastal route right?
@@TheLivingPhilosophy I'll be walking a small portion of the coastal route with a good mate of mine. It marks the end of a gruelling year and a half of study for me, and one of our few opportunities to spend time together before 2024. The forecast is very good. I wonder how different the experience is walking north, as opposed to walking west.
What a way to cut loose! Hope it's everything you're looking for and more! I do wonder about the northward thing as well - completely different Camino tan if nothing else 😂
Wonderful, inspiring video James, thank you.
Thanks a million!
Welcome back, I hope to see more of you. Sounds like you had a wonderful experience. Maybe I should start investing in hiking shoes as well...
I would highly recommend it. It's good for the soul (and depending on the shoes for the soles)
Very interesting and informative. Hoping to try it next May
That was really interesting James, been processing a lot since I came back too & resonated with a lot of what you said..though you said it much better than I could! Am really glad you were one of the people I met while walking, what a journey eh.. and looking forward to watching more of your stuff! Buen camino dude 🤗
Thanks Jacky! I'm still far from being fully settled the process seems to go onwards 🙈 It certainly was a joy to be the same Camino clan and I'll be sure to be onto you next time I'm up in the capital!
@@TheLivingPhilosophy for defo let me know when you’re up next! Be great to catch up 🤗
Hi ❤Good to see you after a long time.
funny, we've had that Van Gogh around the house for a while. Love your videos. Thanks for the information. I worked on the West of Ireland at a hostel for a couple who did the Camino in chunks. I've been interested in it ever since.
Van Gogh's 'Smoking Skull' in the background! Wow - first time I've seen this painting (print) anywhere outside of my own book on Van Gogh! One of my favourite paintings! Love it.
Camino that's nice! Full of brave and ready grand army of the Republic!
Bro is majestic
Loved hearing about your experience. I also found my experience the church in Santiago a bit hollow, but, like you, Ioved Finisterre.
I walked the Camino in 2018. It is one of the most profound experiences in my life, and I am not religious. I still keep in touch with a number of the people I met - and I am planning my next one.:)
Good to hear it wasn't just me! And also great to hear that the religious thing was similar in your case (and also that you've stayed in touch with a few people; there's a few gems I've met along the way that I'd be sorry to lose touch with)
@@TheLivingPhilosophy I'd also just like to compliment you on your channel. It has really managed to make a lot of philosophy more accessible to me.🙂
Ah thanks for that - always a joy to hear!
wish we had met last year on the Camino - I’m only halfway in, but I’m really digging your thoughts. My experience was in the same vein (as are many’s, I suppose). What is the book called at around the 13th minute, “a theory of everything”?
ok it’s “The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World”, found it! - and I had similar feelings in the cathedral. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.
I've done del norte a few times, french way is next. Very unique experience, not something you can really explain to someone who hasn't experienced it.
Absolutely. I'd be curious to hear your comparison of del Norte and Fracés when you're finished. They seem like very different animals
Very similar to my own experience.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Speculative Realism in a future video! :)
Did you try the wine fountain? They say the Camino runs along the milky way
Hahaha I did indeed and it was tasty. I got there around 7 in the morning so wasn't quite wine o'clock but better than a lot of wine I've had in my time!
Muchos datos incorrectos. Carlomagno fue derrotado por los vascos, no por los moros.
Los irlandeses no poblaron el norte de Hispania , sino los celtas. Una de sus muchas tribus. En la Península iberica hace mas de 50.mil años que esta el homo sapiens sapiens.😊
Isn't it funny your name is James and you look like Jesus. I've walked 11 caminos. 😂Love
Where in the world is Camino de Santiago? (Laughts in edutainment computer game)
Aren't you French
Non, Irlandais
I see you've removed my comment
