Ah man another great video. Your synthesis of Buddhist/Nietzschean ideas is always impressive. And the way you present and format these videos is digestible and entertaining. Thanks for all the impressive work you do!
One night, I was dreaming. For what I remember, I was doing all the most normal and everyday things, until in a moment a doubt struck me: what if I could excape reality? And then, something deep from the dark awakened: a girl turned her head, and in its back there was a face, a black smile, with pointing eyes. He said: "WE ARE REALITY!!". And it was so strong, and it was so intense. It felt real, as if you were awake, thinking about it was the "real" world, when all of a sudden the maker of it makes himself manifest, and he says you and him are the same thing, and the world trembles: it was all a dream, and I couldn't excape, bc it was my own creation. His voice was so strong I woke up belching the air I had in my lungs. That experience changed profondly the way I see myself and the world. The best way I can explain it is through this idea of Nietzche of the eternal recurrence, and the "amor fati". I can say I feel represented by them.
@@AquariusGate Yes, but I have to notice that hearing your own head say it in a burst of sheer willpower while you are waking up from a dream feels different from having only the mere notion of "we are reality". If it's only a thought, you can believe it or not. After all, where is the proof? But experiences like this force you to admit it with truth, to live it.
@@echoshadow1490 yes that is a very good point. What do you suspect is different from 'the mere notion'? Must we also accept the notion can become a powerful, consuming belief or meditation? For me, consistent with my own view, is that the power of difference you raise, speaks of emotion in a heart-surfing sense of the awareness.
@@AquariusGate Yeah bro. The thing is that that mf won't stop. I see him in dreams, and every time I have the feeling he's God or something like that. He is obsessed with visions of apocalypse. Yesterday in a dream I was chasing a guy who stole me something, and when I stop him I have the feeling he is a very bad person, like a raper or something, and that he's done that in the name of Allah, the god of the muslims. Next Allah appears and starts a discourse in latin. I read it and it kinda says that it's not a good thing to think one is following him trough a code, a law or something like that. The one who does that doesn't understand his will. The one who does, it's because he listen to his heart, and has a personal bond with Him. And then he destroys the whole fking planet with a dark fume that evaporates all life, expecially plants such trees, and leaves. Bro is disappointed. He keeps sending me this shit. What I am supposed to do with this information? I am just a random boy. I'm not even muslim, I was raised in a christian background. To discover the thruth, or to have an awakening, is also a ticket for insanity, without the guarantee that you will return.
@@echoshadow1490 well.....that's a bit more profound than i was expecting! I embraced the insanity, not exactly embraced but I reconciled myself to it, if that's what learning the truth required. Almost, but it is just another fear in the spaces between expression. I'm assuming you have some control, a loosely lucid dream? Let it happen, in the destruction some pattern of meaning may arise. It is possible to divine the purpose of this mind that visits your dreams? Finding some intuition of what you are being shown? I can't remember who in the Bible was asked to sacrifice his firstborn but we do get asked on these flights of fancy to learn our own persuasions and flaws of logic. After a complete nervous breakdown in my early 30's, I've found I am stretched to the limit of my comfort at times but I have learnt to cool my spirits and find the path of least resistance. Any step is a beginning, if you are in the mind that you can only make corrections. I hope you sleep easy sometime soon bro.
From my reading and thoughts on Nietzsche, along with other sources. I convert the idea of will to desire. Not the want or need in desire but the raw emoting power. Jung and Nietzsche were constrained by scientific materialism and the academic reception of such vagaries of spirits and desires. An overinflated sense of the power of thought sees us wrestling with ideas. We don't sensibly avoid that struggle to put things together in motion. Information is not plucked from the surface details of an 'object', it emerges from the energetic connection of perception and bodies of curiosity. How do we look, scrunching up out eyes, seeking more power of magnification, in concern, or confusion, they will all form nuanced viewpoints. I obviously call this creative stress, the pressures, tensions, and frictions that transmute matter in our real world. This is the quantum effect of being no different to everything in sensory range. Sorry to ramble, I hope this seems valid in your outlook and approach to Nietzsche.
00:11 Eternal recurrence is a transformational idea. 03:52 Eternal recurrence of all events in life. 07:56 Nietzsche criticizes the invention of an ideal world and its impact on reality. 11:32 Nietzsche's idea of eternal recurrence challenges us to evaluate our lives from an eternal perspective. 15:25 Embracing eternal recurrence requires full acceptance of life. 19:02 The will to power as a human drive 22:46 Nietzsche's view on the personal will and necessity 26:09 Embrace eternal return through absolute love. 29:52 Gratitude for support and encouragement Eternal recurrence is a transformational idea. - Nietzsche's idea is meant to cast light over every shadow and bend even the loneliest suffering towards joy. - It is a concept that asserts that everything in life - past, present, and future - repeats exactly as it is, forever. Eternal recurrence of all events in life. - Rejects the idea of a transcendent realm of existence and views faith in an ideal world as an escape. - Engages in the ancient debate of Being vs Becoming, advocating for acceptance of impermanence and relativity. Nietzsche criticizes the invention of an ideal world and its impact on reality. - He discusses the concepts of 'God,' 'beyond,' and 'soul' as inventions to devalue the only existing world. - Nietzsche explores the contrast between the philosophies of Becoming and Being and their implications on life and existence. Nietzsche's idea of eternal recurrence challenges us to evaluate our lives from an eternal perspective. - Nietzsche presents the concept of the eternal return as a way to view life from a cosmic perspective, questioning whether one's life could be lived over and over for eternity. - The eternal return is not about pursuing only pleasure and achievement, but rather about embracing life in its entirety, including both positive and negative experiences, in order to attain a deeper understanding. Embracing eternal recurrence requires full acceptance of life. - Acknowledge and love every aspect of existence, including suffering. - Approach eternal recurrence as a Zen koan to spark psychological change and surrender to experience. The will to power as a human drive - The will to power is a relentless drive for self-expression and self-overcoming, encountering resistance and necessity. - Necessity, including all life circumstances like genetics, nationality, and time, acts as a limit on the will, denying it absolute power. Nietzsche's view on the personal will and necessity - Nietzsche believes that we must subsume the impersonal world of necessity under the personal will - He sees the individual will as part of the cosmic flow of energy and not separate from the forces of life in the world Embrace eternal return through absolute love. - The will to power involves recognizing limitations and flourishing in struggles. - The eternal return symbolizes the cyclical nature of existence and the unity of opposites.

I can still remember when I was in K3 or K4, so 3 or 4 years old, how me and some kids sat around one day and started discussing birthdays. We then started to wonder what would happen since we were all heading towards another year. We all agreed that the most logical thing we could think of was that when you get to 100, you start back over at 0. This made so much sense to me, but when I told my parents about this idea, they laughed it off and explained some Catholic dogma to me as a replacement.
If eternity exists, it's not necessarily the case of an endless return. I mean there may be endless universes and each one with different laws of physics or some weird realities.
I think this is one of the problems associated with the idea of eternity in heaven. People never really take on board the idea of the implications of 'eternity'. they will make glib statements such as, 'We'll be together for always in heaven', etc., BUT do they stop to think about the implications of this? OK, so for the first few hundred thousand 'years' you wander around meeting lost relatives, animals, loved ones, etc.. Then what? After a billion years this might get a bit tiresome. After a trillion, trillion, trillion. . . . . . . years even the most loyal of partners might get a bit bored. Everything is perfect (it is heaven), so what condition are people in when you meet them again? How old? What personality do they have? Do they stay like that forever? If not, can you cope with what they, and you, will change into? We are what we are because, in part at least, we undergo suffering and we are mortal. Take away that suffering, add immortality, and you are not the same person. Then there are huge implications in the idea of finding out that you have survived death, and it is no longer an issue - this would have massive psychology impact on everyone. It would completely change how existence is perceived. Humans are humans because of what we deal with on Earth. Unless there is a fundamental change in what we become (in which case the idea of meeting all your relatives and loved ones is nonsense) heaven, in the way that it is normally thought about, would end up being hell!
I mean, if you take away Becoming, you eliminate what makes us human. We can't imagine to feel happy doing and being always the same thing forever. Neither we can fathom this "forever". The way we live is determined by change, so that depiction of heaven doesn't really work.
Tip to explore : Gaudapada - (6th century CE Hindu philosopher) and his work on Mandukya upanishad called "Gaudapada Mandukya Karika", best explained at You Tube by Swami Sarvapriyananda.
This video is so thought-provoking and well presented. I have always had a knack for discomfort with a positive attitude. Perhaps as a result of a difficult early life. But perhaps too that I have always felt like one simply cannot remove positive experiences from negative ones. Amor Fati... I wish a love supreme for all of us!
Thank you for the beautiful comment, my friend, and for your support! As the great stories tell, that which we need the most usually resides where we want to go the least. Difficulty and discomfort are essential to the flourishing of life.
Understanding takes time, and tbh we can never fully understand something, because as soon as we do the meaning changes. Just do the best you can. Its a never ending process.
I think the stuff Nietzsche wrote is very subjective. Anyone trying to explain it will just explain his subjective opinion of it. He tried to be different from all the philosophers who came before him, that's why he wrote in riddles.
It seems to me that we have no choice BUT to be able to bear it. If I am born again as the same person into the same into the next cycle of existence, I'll be nothing but an ignorant babe again. I will have no control over the beginning circumstances that ended up shaping me, which shaped the decisions I made from there, which shaped the live I've lived and will live. Will the knowledge cripple me? Will it bring me joy? Will I oscillate between the 2 until I die? Will I choose to forget as much as I am able so I can live somewhere a little higher up the pit of despair. Strange. When you accept despair and drink it in as you would any experience of joy and pleasure, it tastes a little less bitter. It simple becomes another flavor in life with which to savor. I didn't expect to type this much here. This video touched me.
Another fascinating vide. His idea reminds me of the cyclic universe theory; that the expanding universe will reach a stage where it will begin contracting again (often referred to as the 'big crunch'), to then potentially bounce back as a big bang again. The ultimate return.
Logical proposition..... if time is infinite .....and the combinations of matter and reality are finite ....therefore everything will repeat over and over again in the infinite span of time
Thank you for explaining our will to power and the world's will to power. I love the quote " we do not inhabit the world any more than waves inhabit the sea." I am the world. Brilliant.
All is permanent as well as all is impermanent work as the eternal koan expressing all encompassing paradox through thought creation energies, called existence. Thank you for posting. Powerful content.
I love the "cheap facsimile of Love ... for a deep relationship/Life insight at 15:22. Thank you for such a great presentation. The imagery and music are amazing as well as the content.
I am not sure that there is any escape from this, if time is "born" with the universe and destined to end with it then one must say that since the universe can arise it *will* arise, outside of time all things that can happen *must* happen. This doesn't even change if time is "there" before and after the universe because all things that can happen *will* happen over infinite time.
It does repeat infinitely, but it is only when one notices the subtle nuances of each cycle that he goes from the created to the creator. How can we know where we are going if we dont know where we have been? Your life will continue to follow a fractal like pattern until you awaken, remember and begin to decide which path you take. For many life cycles i lived only my childhood years.... Over and over and over again.... Until i eventually started becoming older, theb i would live those teenage years , over and over again.... Your not trapped, you are unfolding. I have lived he last 15 years of my life for 3 lifetimes now.... Eventually I will get older.... Over and over again.
@@Selfunraveled I remember. Each moment that I relive I am presented with a set of memories of multiple versions of myself in that moment, the choices they made and the outcome of that choice.
Questions on his perspective: - how literally would repetition be, can one life differ from a next? - would “love” change the repetition? - what decides the fictive person named you has this repetition? - what decides that “others” might have different content of this repetition? - are there others? - since beginning and ending is an intellectual thing and doesnt exist on the deepest, why would there be repetition of something. - if this life had no meaning or purpose why would love be it; would that not make life a school to learn how to love? - How would this match the countless NDE’s and medical herb experiences?
Our true being is that of the world and time and that which is beyond time. basically, the triumph and suffering of this expression of life which is I (life unmanifested) is shared with all other expressions of life (the manifested universe) and we are all part of the play of God
I love the Nietzsche quote at 16:40. Yes, to look life in the face a love it joyously in all its wondrous grandeur and horror. That is the work. But I wonder, can't we love everything as it is and yet still work to mitigate harm? Practice ahimsa? Advocate for peace in a time of war-for-profit and the exploitation of everything/everyone for money? Advocating from a place of joyous acceptance and compassionate love instead of resistance, vengeance and anger. That is the work.
That is the work, indeed. For all his genius and talent, Nietzsche lacked an appreciation for the collective and social aspects of human experience. If we were all mountain-dwelling hermits, as he was, his philosophy would give us all we need. But we're not mountain-dwelling hermits.
Nietzsche could not even change his own miserable life. No luck with women, his writing became known when he was alreadfy mad. He felt lonly most of his time even if he said he liked his soliotude, but it was a forced solitude.
If we take this to its deepest inflection to our own lives, as you say, our lives bring us round in an eternal existence of the same repetition. Maybe, but all through the lens of feminine eyes, then a return to masculine? This isn't explained clearly. What if we go a bit quantum to imagine we reform into the same entanglements we just left? Even then, is it a return or reoccurrence, or does familiarity hide all the subtle differences carried through time and in thoughts with more or less gravitas than attractions in my last experience? Maybe time seems to stand still in our reincarnation cycle because we are in denial about our nature, dislocated from her by ideas and feelings that corrupt our true sense of things. What if we knew the nature of nature, the purpose we are here to serve toward the destiny our potential carries us toward? Thanks for returning to one of the greatest minds I ever found in the written word.
One of the videos that had such a profound emotional effect on me! I would rewatch it again and again, just like I would relive my life, and you know why ❤
This video is way to long. Cliffs. Dont take Nietzsche literally. Eternal recurrence is not an idea that Nietzsche thinks is "true" in the most mundane sense of that word, its an idea that he thinks is most useful to live by. If you can live fully immersed in the idea that every moment repeats you will then attempt to make the most of your life etc etc, and thus this idea is Nietzsche' s solution to the inherent nihilism in god is dead, there is no meaning etc, which is the hunchback on his back he refers to carrying in Thus Spake Zarathustra. Its a classic existentialist idea, but its not an idea based in making a sincere attempt to describe reality, its an idea based on the assumption that there is no way to do that, so we might as well come up with most useful explanations/narratives for living to our maximum, and the idea that everything repeats is the apotheosis of that idea, e.g. as useful as an idea or explanation can be in terms of how it will effect how one lives.
"How well disposed would a person have to become to himself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than the infinite repetition, without alteration, of each and every moment?"
If I have to resuffer everything in the same sequence, how can I wake up at an earlier point in suffering than this suffering? Life is suffering, ideas like this one aren't helpful unless you understand that meta truth.
I don't think he meant that every life would be exactly the same. I think it was something more along the lines how they say history doesn't repeat it just rhymes meaning that each cycle you are going to be in an existence that is exactly one step higher in the hierarchy of existence as each existence is the particles and singularities that populate increase the universe that they fill with and then that Universe would be a particle in the next Higher One. In prison words that is why everything's always expanding because in the end it Loops back around like a feedback to where the largest thing becomes the smallest as gravity does curved Universe back into itself it's not back into its own self back into its exact replica that is one step above it one step below
I say yes to the eternal return, for my life, having its sufferings, has also had its great joys, for drawing pictures and sitting in the sun with wolves - to have known Waka, Patches, Tahoe, Tikani - to have watched my skill at drawing improve from sheer determination and effort, a destiny like a flower blooming once it had found its sun. To have come to understand the source of love and to see my dreams come true, that is worth repeating for eternity. A child reaching across a nightmare to touch a monster, only to see that the monster was a wolf who only wanted a friend, yes. I will walk with the wolves forever in a loop that never ends.
I unsubscribed from this channel because I thought originally it was devoted to Buddhism, but when it started talking about Nietzsche and comparing him to the Buddha, I regarded the channel as intellectual nonsense. Nietzsche was a self-absorbed, egotistical man (“look at me”, “look how smart I am”, “no one compares to me”, and then died insane) and the Buddha was a man without a “self” (revealed “anicca”, “dukkha” and “anatta”, taught the four noble truths, eightfold path and compassion, and died a peaceful death). There’s just no comparison.
@simplicity, I totally agree with you. This channel conveys a philosophical disscution that has nothing to do with the real meaning of Buddha's teachings, which I likely received from real Buddhist teachers.
Awesome. Just awesome. I've read tidbits of this all my life thru one wayward circumstance or another. Why me? is a classic question. Well, why not me? is an answer I learn to accept. As far as concepts like forever, always, and eternity, those are terms that I'm still trying to understand. We have illustrations, but do we really know eternity? For everyone who put this video together, Thank You.
Great video as always! Is it possible you could to a video on Ambedkarite Buddhism, it would be greatly appreciated by us Ambedkarite Buddhists. Jai Bhim Namo Buddhaya, may the triple gems bless you!
Wow! That was powerful. I've only just recently come to hear about Nietzsche, your channel has given me much information To aid my understanding about this great mans teachings. Does anyone recommend any books that give more like this video shows concerning Nietzsche?
Thank you! You can have a look at the video description for reading recommendations :) For a fantastic introduction into Nietzsche's philosophy, have a look at Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist, Antichrist by Walter Kaufmann
I cant be the only one that really doesnt like Nietzsche perspective on Plato/Neoplatonism and Christianity. Its a very unfair one and, the worst part, is that everyone takes that as the actual stance of both systems. Great video (as always)
Beautiful concepts, a great understanding, yet it is very difficult for my existence to understand that a life of suffering is solid and can not be changed. I see so much corruption in this life that flourish in abundance. I see so much suffering that would give a complete stranger the very clothing off their back. How can this existence allow such a folly. I can see the rebirth for the suffering be plentiful, and vice versa for the corrupt. Yet i am but a blink of an eye in comparison of existence. I can say perhaps i dont want to know the unknowable, i just want to be and be without suffering. Blessed be your days my friend.
I like this idea better when Rustin Cohle said it in True Detective, also because it was espoused by a tested and brittle mind and I couldn't accept it totally...still don't, but maybe a good exercise for growth
Is the love of suffering and all that we perceive in life not also a form of resistance against it? Or is it implied that we should simply try to integrate this knowledge of amor fati within us so that to love everything is not a conscious decision?
For me Nietzsche himself was not a deep thinker at all - but your reflections upon his ideas are deep and profound. Only one thing I must resist - I think it is common and sort of habitual, yet totally misleading to put Heraclitus and Parmenides in radical oposition. I am deeply convinced Heraclitean Logos and Parmenidean absolute Entity (Eon, On) are but one and the same. Both these ancient thinkers consider sensory world of becoming as dream-like illusion.
Beautifully done. Very synchronistic to what I’ve been reading and thinking as well. One thought being the ocean BECOMES the wave to understand the essence of what it means to BE the water.
Nah, according to science and the conservation of information, information can not be destroyed. The information that we are gathering in the lifetime has to go somewhere. Considering 99% of our decision-making process is made up of our subconscious. It would be a good bet that the information from the previous lifetime is helping guide our decisions. Just as the information we are gathering in this lifetime will be used in the next. We are coming back. But our decisions change depending on what we have learned in this lifetime.
I can argue that "information", being a form of energy, is not bound only to a particular version of it. It can change, and memories and desires of past experiences can transform to a new type of energy, like heat, radiation, cynetic force. This if there are the necessary vessels to support that tranformation. So no, what we have learned will not be conserved into our next "lifetimes" in that way. They will be conserved bc they are, first of all, a particular set of energy that, given that energy never destroys itself but can only change, has the opportunity to exist again in the future, time being without end. The information is conserved only bc it belongs to a simpler thing, that is eternal, but is not eternal, that information, in itself.
@echoshadow1490 Information is neither a form of energy nor matter, and it can not be measured in energy units. It is just as fundamental as energy and matter, though. So the entire premise to your argument is dead wrong.
@@PrescottValley If "information" is not energy, what can possibly be the support for that information? Nothing? It has to be energy, bc energy is the only kind of substance that the universe has. The universe is made out of energy, so if something endures change inside of it, it has to be made of energy, bc it's inside the universe. There is no other option.
@echoshadow1490 argue with science, not me. Science has decidedly stated that information is not energy nor is it measured in energy units. Entropy is how information is measured.
@@PrescottValley Do you realize that entropy is just a concept that describes how energy behaves is physical systems? Look at the second principle of thermodinamics. Given a system, only a fraction of the energy it has can be used as "work", as energy to make things, while another fraction represents the energy that gets dissipated. Entropy is just the moviment between one state of energy and another. Hence, it can't have sense if those states don't exist. Furthermore, your belief on the fact that information gets conserved like that is against entropy. One fraction of "information", which is just a word to say "state of energy", always gets lost.
Think about infinite, everything that can happen will happen, our energy can not be created or destroyed, so it will be allocated in various ways. Many times similar to this way. We are cosmic dust. The universe is one, we are the universe.
interesting idea. but for one who rejects notions of the supernatural, he ends up with an essentially supernatural idea. kind of like a conspiracy theorist who desperately seeks meaning so that they invent an ultimate cause ridiculing the religious. "lots of artists say they want to live on in their work. i'd like to live on in my apartment."
It is depressing to know that how little people know about things. The concept of “cyclic existence” is taught by Buddha almost 2600 years ago. In fact one of the goal in Buddhism is to break this cycle.
Do you know the works of Deleuze, its very good you should check it out! ... In the battle of Philosophy of Being vs Becoming, I lean on the side of becoming! But really go for a middle approach with Hegelian dielectics! Substance is Subject! How does one say Yes, one says No to No. Negation of Negation! Samsara is my play ground!

Ah man another great video. Your synthesis of Buddhist/Nietzschean ideas is always impressive. And the way you present and format these videos is digestible and entertaining. Thanks for all the impressive work you do!
“once you awaken, you shall remain awake eternaly” nietzsche
One night, I was dreaming. For what I remember, I was doing all the most normal and everyday things, until in a moment a doubt struck me: what if I could excape reality? And then, something deep from the dark awakened: a girl turned her head, and in its back there was a face, a black smile, with pointing eyes. He said: "WE ARE REALITY!!".
And it was so strong, and it was so intense. It felt real, as if you were awake, thinking about it was the "real" world, when all of a sudden the maker of it makes himself manifest, and he says you and him are the same thing, and the world trembles: it was all a dream, and I couldn't excape, bc it was my own creation.
His voice was so strong I woke up belching the air I had in my lungs.
That experience changed profondly the way I see myself and the world. The best way I can explain it is through this idea of Nietzche of the eternal recurrence, and the "amor fati". I can say I feel represented by them.
The voice seems true. We ourselves ARE reality, an informational singularity.
@@AquariusGate Yes, but I have to notice that hearing your own head say it in a burst of sheer willpower while you are waking up from a dream feels different from having only the mere notion of "we are reality". If it's only a thought, you can believe it or not. After all, where is the proof? But experiences like this force you to admit it with truth, to live it.
@@echoshadow1490 yes that is a very good point. What do you suspect is different from 'the mere notion'?
Must we also accept the notion can become a powerful, consuming belief or meditation?
For me, consistent with my own view, is that the power of difference you raise, speaks of emotion in a heart-surfing sense of the awareness.
@@AquariusGate Yeah bro. The thing is that that mf won't stop. I see him in dreams, and every time I have the feeling he's God or something like that. He is obsessed with visions of apocalypse.
Yesterday in a dream I was chasing a guy who stole me something, and when I stop him I have the feeling he is a very bad person, like a raper or something, and that he's done that in the name of Allah, the god of the muslims. Next Allah appears and starts a discourse in latin. I read it and it kinda says that it's not a good thing to think one is following him trough a code, a law or something like that. The one who does that doesn't understand his will. The one who does, it's because he listen to his heart, and has a personal bond with Him.
And then he destroys the whole fking planet with a dark fume that evaporates all life, expecially plants such trees, and leaves. Bro is disappointed.
He keeps sending me this shit. What I am supposed to do with this information? I am just a random boy. I'm not even muslim, I was raised in a christian background.
To discover the thruth, or to have an awakening, is also a ticket for insanity, without the guarantee that you will return.
@@echoshadow1490 well.....that's a bit more profound than i was expecting!
I embraced the insanity, not exactly embraced but I reconciled myself to it, if that's what learning the truth required. Almost, but it is just another fear in the spaces between expression.
I'm assuming you have some control, a loosely lucid dream?
Let it happen, in the destruction some pattern of meaning may arise. It is possible to divine the purpose of this mind that visits your dreams? Finding some intuition of what you are being shown?
I can't remember who in the Bible was asked to sacrifice his firstborn but we do get asked on these flights of fancy to learn our own persuasions and flaws of logic.
After a complete nervous breakdown in my early 30's, I've found I am stretched to the limit of my comfort at times but I have learnt to cool my spirits and find the path of least resistance.
Any step is a beginning, if you are in the mind that you can only make corrections.
I hope you sleep easy sometime soon bro.
May you get in abundance what you are trying to give to the community, keep progressing 🌸
Thank you for the kind words, my friend - may we all flourish!
22:00 your description of time here is excellent
"Life is the will actualizing itself." Such a profound statement to which leaves me questioning its deeper meaning.
From my reading and thoughts on Nietzsche, along with other sources. I convert the idea of will to desire. Not the want or need in desire but the raw emoting power.
Jung and Nietzsche were constrained by scientific materialism and the academic reception of such vagaries of spirits and desires. An overinflated sense of the power of thought sees us wrestling with ideas. We don't sensibly avoid that struggle to put things together in motion.
Information is not plucked from the surface details of an 'object', it emerges from the energetic connection of perception and bodies of curiosity. How do we look, scrunching up out eyes, seeking more power of magnification, in concern, or confusion, they will all form nuanced viewpoints.
I obviously call this creative stress, the pressures, tensions, and frictions that transmute matter in our real world. This is the quantum effect of being no different to everything in sensory range.
Sorry to ramble, I hope this seems valid in your outlook and approach to Nietzsche.

Eternal recurrence is a transformational idea.
- Nietzsche's idea is meant to cast light over every shadow and bend even the loneliest suffering towards joy.
- It is a concept that asserts that everything in life - past, present, and future - repeats exactly as it is, forever.
Eternal recurrence of all events in life.
- Rejects the idea of a transcendent realm of existence and views faith in an ideal world as an escape.
- Engages in the ancient debate of Being vs Becoming, advocating for acceptance of impermanence and relativity.
Nietzsche criticizes the invention of an ideal world and its impact on reality.
- He discusses the concepts of 'God,' 'beyond,' and 'soul' as inventions to devalue the only existing world.
- Nietzsche explores the contrast between the philosophies of Becoming and Being and their implications on life and existence.
Nietzsche's idea of eternal recurrence challenges us to evaluate our lives from an eternal perspective.
- Nietzsche presents the concept of the eternal return as a way to view life from a cosmic perspective, questioning whether one's life could be lived over and over for eternity.
- The eternal return is not about pursuing only pleasure and achievement, but rather about embracing life in its entirety, including both positive and negative experiences, in order to attain a deeper understanding.
Embracing eternal recurrence requires full acceptance of life.
- Acknowledge and love every aspect of existence, including suffering.
- Approach eternal recurrence as a Zen koan to spark psychological change and surrender to experience.
The will to power as a human drive
- The will to power is a relentless drive for self-expression and self-overcoming, encountering resistance and necessity.
- Necessity, including all life circumstances like genetics, nationality, and time, acts as a limit on the will, denying it absolute power.
Nietzsche's view on the personal will and necessity
- Nietzsche believes that we must subsume the impersonal world of necessity under the personal will
- He sees the individual will as part of the cosmic flow of energy and not separate from the forces of life in the world
Embrace eternal return through absolute love.
- The will to power involves recognizing limitations and flourishing in struggles.
- The eternal return symbolizes the cyclical nature of existence and the unity of opposites.

This is so very interesting and it helps to make sleep but
The commercials are insufferable
I can still remember when I was in K3 or K4, so 3 or 4 years old, how me and some kids sat around one day and started discussing birthdays. We then started to wonder what would happen since we were all heading towards another year. We all agreed that the most logical thing we could think of was that when you get to 100, you start back over at 0. This made so much sense to me, but when I told my parents about this idea, they laughed it off and explained some Catholic dogma to me as a replacement.
If eternity exists, it's not necessarily the case of an endless return. I mean there may be endless universes and each one with different laws of physics or some weird realities.
Fascinating video. Thank you for the work you put into this.
I think this is one of the problems associated with the idea of eternity in heaven. People never really take on board the idea of the implications of 'eternity'. they will make glib statements such as, 'We'll be together for always in heaven', etc., BUT do they stop to think about the implications of this?
OK, so for the first few hundred thousand 'years' you wander around meeting lost relatives, animals, loved ones, etc.. Then what? After a billion years this might get a bit tiresome. After a trillion, trillion, trillion. . . . . . . years even the most loyal of partners might get a bit bored.
Everything is perfect (it is heaven), so what condition are people in when you meet them again? How old? What personality do they have? Do they stay like that forever? If not, can you cope with what they, and you, will change into?
We are what we are because, in part at least, we undergo suffering and we are mortal. Take away that suffering, add immortality, and you are not the same person.
Then there are huge implications in the idea of finding out that you have survived death, and it is no longer an issue - this would have massive psychology impact on everyone. It would completely change how existence is perceived.
Humans are humans because of what we deal with on Earth. Unless there is a fundamental change in what we become (in which case the idea of meeting all your relatives and loved ones is nonsense) heaven, in the way that it is normally thought about, would end up being hell!
I mean, if you take away Becoming, you eliminate what makes us human. We can't imagine to feel happy doing and being always the same thing forever. Neither we can fathom this "forever". The way we live is determined by change, so that depiction of heaven doesn't really work.
@@echoshadow1490 That's what I said.

@@echoshadow1490 Ah. I thought you did but wasn’t entirely sure. Sorry for the confusion. 👍
With such a grand video title claim I expected to be disappointed. I wasnt disappointed.

Really well done. Thank you for your good work. 👍
Tip to explore : Gaudapada - (6th century CE Hindu philosopher) and his work on Mandukya upanishad called "Gaudapada Mandukya Karika", best explained at You Tube by Swami Sarvapriyananda.
This video is so thought-provoking and well presented. I have always had a knack for discomfort with a positive attitude. Perhaps as a result of a difficult early life. But perhaps too that I have always felt like one simply cannot remove positive experiences from negative ones. Amor Fati... I wish a love supreme for all of us!
Thank you for the beautiful comment, my friend, and for your support! As the great stories tell, that which we need the most usually resides where we want to go the least. Difficulty and discomfort are essential to the flourishing of life.
An Idea, Whence, Is And Not Is. ( ? ) . ...fish.
best channel on this platform!
Awesome video and great voice 🎉
Eternal return is not merely the heaviest burden-it is hell.
Most ppl don't really understand. Nietzsche did, and he went mad
This was most excellent! I can honestly say that with your video here is the first time I feel that truly groked Nietzsche’s Eternal Return…thank you!
I can’t even understand nietzsche when someone is trying to explain his philosophy to me, let alone when I read it my self.
Gotta be on a certain wave length my friend or have a higher state of consciousness for better understanding ngl
Understanding takes time, and tbh we can never fully understand something, because as soon as we do the meaning changes. Just do the best you can. Its a never ending process.
I think the stuff Nietzsche wrote is very subjective. Anyone trying to explain it will just explain his subjective opinion of it. He tried to be different from all the philosophers who came before him, that's why he wrote in riddles.
Such a good video and beautiful video! Thank you a lot!!
This video is INSANE! 10/10. I don't know that I appreciate this guys work properly myself but I do appreciate this. Thanks
Very thought provoking video. Thank you.
It seems to me that we have no choice BUT to be able to bear it. If I am born again as the same person into the same into the next cycle of existence, I'll be nothing but an ignorant babe again. I will have no control over the beginning circumstances that ended up shaping me, which shaped the decisions I made from there, which shaped the live I've lived and will live. Will the knowledge cripple me? Will it bring me joy? Will I oscillate between the 2 until I die? Will I choose to forget as much as I am able so I can live somewhere a little higher up the pit of despair. Strange. When you accept despair and drink it in as you would any experience of joy and pleasure, it tastes a little less bitter. It simple becomes another flavor in life with which to savor.
I didn't expect to type this much here. This video touched me.
I enjoyed reading your reflections!
Don’t stop you make awesome videos
Another fascinating vide. His idea reminds me of the cyclic universe theory; that the expanding universe will reach a stage where it will begin contracting again (often referred to as the 'big crunch'), to then potentially bounce back as a big bang again. The ultimate return.
Would I live my life over again? No, for it would be too much excitement twice in a row.Great stuff👍Thanks ❤
Logical proposition..... if time is infinite .....and the combinations of matter and reality are finite ....therefore everything will repeat over and over again in the infinite span of time
Thank you for explaining our will to power and the world's will to power. I love the quote " we do not inhabit the world any more than waves inhabit the sea." I am the world. Brilliant.
Add to that u will cycle thru every being in the universe for there is only one.
“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you."
All is permanent as well as all is impermanent work as the eternal koan expressing all encompassing paradox through thought creation energies, called existence.
Thank you for posting. Powerful content.
I love the "cheap facsimile of Love ... for a deep relationship/Life insight at 15:22. Thank you for such a great presentation. The imagery and music are amazing as well as the content.
Thank you for the kind comment!
I am not sure that there is any escape from this, if time is "born" with the universe and destined to end with it then one must say that since the universe can arise it *will* arise, outside of time all things that can happen *must* happen. This doesn't even change if time is "there" before and after the universe because all things that can happen *will* happen over infinite time.
It does repeat infinitely, but it is only when one notices the subtle nuances of each cycle that he goes from the created to the creator. How can we know where we are going if we dont know where we have been? Your life will continue to follow a fractal like pattern until you awaken, remember and begin to decide which path you take. For many life cycles i lived only my childhood years.... Over and over and over again.... Until i eventually started becoming older, theb i would live those teenage years , over and over again.... Your not trapped, you are unfolding. I have lived he last 15 years of my life for 3 lifetimes now.... Eventually I will get older.... Over and over again.
Wait ..what?? What do you mean you lived your childhood and teenage years over and over again? How do you know this for sure? I’m genuinely curious
@@Selfunraveled I remember.
Each moment that I relive I am presented with a set of memories of multiple versions of myself in that moment, the choices they made and the outcome of that choice.
Really cool video
What a wonderful video. Thank you for your excellent work.
Questions on his perspective:
- how literally would repetition be, can one life differ from a next?
- would “love” change the repetition?
- what decides the fictive person named you has this repetition?
- what decides that “others” might have different content of this repetition?
- are there others?
- since beginning and ending is an intellectual thing and doesnt exist on the deepest, why would there be repetition of something.
- if this life had no meaning or purpose why would love be it; would that not make life a school to learn how to love?
- How would this match the countless NDE’s and medical herb experiences?
Our true being is that of the world and time and that which is beyond time. basically, the triumph and suffering of this expression of life which is I (life unmanifested) is shared with all other expressions of life (the manifested universe) and we are all part of the play of God
Is this a re-upload? De ja vu. Feels like i ve heard it infinate times.
I love the Nietzsche quote at 16:40. Yes, to look life in the face a love it joyously in all its wondrous grandeur and horror. That is the work.
But I wonder, can't we love everything as it is and yet still work to mitigate harm? Practice ahimsa? Advocate for peace in a time of war-for-profit and the exploitation of everything/everyone for money? Advocating from a place of joyous acceptance and compassionate love instead of resistance, vengeance and anger. That is the work.
That is the work, indeed. For all his genius and talent, Nietzsche lacked an appreciation for the collective and social aspects of human experience. If we were all mountain-dwelling hermits, as he was, his philosophy would give us all we need. But we're not mountain-dwelling hermits.
Nietzsche could not even change his own miserable life. No luck with women, his writing became known when he was alreadfy mad. He felt lonly most of his time even if he said he liked his soliotude, but it was a forced solitude.
Matter cannot be destroyed it can only be changed
If we take this to its deepest inflection to our own lives, as you say, our lives bring us round in an eternal existence of the same repetition.
Maybe, but all through the lens of feminine eyes, then a return to masculine? This isn't explained clearly.
What if we go a bit quantum to imagine we reform into the same entanglements we just left? Even then, is it a return or reoccurrence, or does familiarity hide all the subtle differences carried through time and in thoughts with more or less gravitas than attractions in my last experience?
Maybe time seems to stand still in our reincarnation cycle because we are in denial about our nature, dislocated from her by ideas and feelings that corrupt our true sense of things.
What if we knew the nature of nature, the purpose we are here to serve toward the destiny our potential carries us toward?
Thanks for returning to one of the greatest minds I ever found in the written word.
One of the videos that had such a profound emotional effect on me!
I would rewatch it again and again, just like I would relive my life, and you know why ❤
Or is all this just an analogy to peak my interest right now? To wake up right this moment because time is short.
Yes : you are 100 % correct.
Thats (only) what it is.
God Bless you.
Yes.
Another superb video synthesising these truths…
This video is way to long. Cliffs. Dont take Nietzsche literally. Eternal recurrence is not an idea that Nietzsche thinks is "true" in the most mundane sense of that word, its an idea that he thinks is most useful to live by. If you can live fully immersed in the idea that every moment repeats you will then attempt to make the most of your life etc etc, and thus this idea is Nietzsche' s solution to the inherent nihilism in god is dead, there is no meaning etc, which is the hunchback on his back he refers to carrying in Thus Spake Zarathustra. Its a classic existentialist idea, but its not an idea based in making a sincere attempt to describe reality, its an idea based on the assumption that there is no way to do that, so we might as well come up with most useful explanations/narratives for living to our maximum, and the idea that everything repeats is the apotheosis of that idea, e.g. as useful as an idea or explanation can be in terms of how it will effect how one lives.
Wisely spoken, u need to release a video explaining this pls
"How well disposed would a person have to become to himself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than the infinite repetition, without alteration, of each and every moment?"
If I have to relive everything in the same sequence, how can I wake up at an earlier point in life than this life?
You cant,.......
Because, it were those others, who relieved,.........
If I have to resuffer everything in the same sequence, how can I wake up at an earlier point in suffering than this suffering?
Life is suffering, ideas like this one aren't helpful unless you understand that meta truth.
I don't think he meant that every life would be exactly the same. I think it was something more along the lines how they say history doesn't repeat it just rhymes meaning that each cycle you are going to be in an existence that is exactly one step higher in the hierarchy of existence as each existence is the particles and singularities that populate increase the universe that they fill with and then that Universe would be a particle in the next Higher One. In prison words that is why everything's always expanding because in the end it Loops back around like a feedback to where the largest thing becomes the smallest as gravity does curved Universe back into itself it's not back into its own self back into its exact replica that is one step above it one step below

@@scorps192 ya your face is
In Astrology, the Arabic part of Necessity speaks of this.
I say yes to the eternal return, for my life, having its sufferings, has also had its great joys, for drawing pictures and sitting in the sun with wolves - to have known Waka, Patches, Tahoe, Tikani - to have watched my skill at drawing improve from sheer determination and effort, a destiny like a flower blooming once it had found its sun. To have come to understand the source of love and to see my dreams come true, that is worth repeating for eternity. A child reaching across a nightmare to touch a monster, only to see that the monster was a wolf who only wanted a friend, yes. I will walk with the wolves forever in a loop that never ends.
Beautiful.

Every THING repeats .
Everything doesn't start or stop so no repeating is necessary .
thats what the buddha gautama said "there's no begining and end".
I unsubscribed from this channel because I thought originally it was devoted to Buddhism, but when it started talking about Nietzsche and comparing him to the Buddha, I regarded the channel as intellectual nonsense. Nietzsche was a self-absorbed, egotistical man (“look at me”, “look how smart I am”, “no one compares to me”, and then died insane) and the Buddha was a man without a “self” (revealed “anicca”, “dukkha” and “anatta”, taught the four noble truths, eightfold path and compassion, and died a peaceful death). There’s just no comparison.
Bruh who cares about who either of those people were. Tf are you on about
@simplicity, I totally agree with you. This channel conveys a philosophical disscution that has nothing to do with the real meaning of Buddha's teachings, which I likely received from real Buddhist teachers.
So brilliant, thank you
I feel so related to Nietzsche ❤
I love it!
Awesome. Just awesome. I've read tidbits of this all my life thru one wayward circumstance or another. Why me? is a classic question. Well, why not me? is an answer I learn to accept. As far as concepts like forever, always, and eternity, those are terms that I'm still trying to understand. We have illustrations, but do we really know eternity? For everyone who put this video together, Thank You.
I wonder to what extent cosmic love (agape) is what Nietzsche was after in his thought-experiment regarding eternal recurrence?
A Love Supreme. What a magnificent ending. Coltrane would have concurred, surely. Bravo S2S. Bravo.
Thank you! It brings me joy to see someone caught on to the reference :)

I cant be the only one that really doesnt like Nietzsche perspective on Plato/Neoplatonism and Christianity. Its a very unfair one and, the worst part, is that everyone takes that as the actual stance of both systems. Great video (as always)
Reality that is not focused, will become someone else’s falsehood. If eternal peace is sought, only endless possibilities can exist.
Beautiful concepts, a great understanding, yet it is very difficult for my existence to understand that a life of suffering is solid and can not be changed. I see so much corruption in this life that flourish in abundance. I see so much suffering that would give a complete stranger the very clothing off their back. How can this existence allow such a folly. I can see the rebirth for the suffering be plentiful, and vice versa for the corrupt. Yet i am but a blink of an eye in comparison of existence. I can say perhaps i dont want to know the unknowable, i just want to be and be without suffering. Blessed be your days my friend.
Blessed be your days too, my friend!
BRILLIANT. FANTASTIC.
I like this idea better when Rustin Cohle said it in True Detective, also because it was espoused by a tested and brittle mind and I couldn't accept it totally...still don't, but maybe a good exercise for growth
mind blowing, life changing.
Is the love of suffering and all that we perceive in life not also a form of resistance against it? Or is it implied that we should simply try to integrate this knowledge of amor fati within us so that to love everything is not a conscious decision?
Great question!
true answer for everything
24:18 fatum or to aftum is to blossom, become whole complete
For me Nietzsche himself was not a deep thinker at all - but your reflections upon his ideas are deep and profound. Only one thing I must resist - I think it is common and sort of habitual, yet totally misleading to put Heraclitus and Parmenides in radical oposition. I am deeply convinced Heraclitean Logos and Parmenidean absolute Entity (Eon, On) are but one and the same. Both these ancient thinkers consider sensory world of becoming as dream-like illusion.
Sixth sense tells us of our unity with all things
brilliant
Beautifully done. Very synchronistic to what I’ve been reading and thinking as well. One thought being the ocean BECOMES the wave to understand the essence of what it means to BE the water.

Conjecture is no substitute for the truth.
Nah, according to science and the conservation of information, information can not be destroyed.
The information that we are gathering in the lifetime has to go somewhere. Considering 99% of our decision-making process is made up of our subconscious. It would be a good bet that the information from the previous lifetime is helping guide our decisions. Just as the information we are gathering in this lifetime will be used in the next.
We are coming back. But our decisions change depending on what we have learned in this lifetime.
I can argue that "information", being a form of energy, is not bound only to a particular version of it. It can change, and memories and desires of past experiences can transform to a new type of energy, like heat, radiation, cynetic force. This if there are the necessary vessels to support that tranformation. So no, what we have learned will not be conserved into our next "lifetimes" in that way. They will be conserved bc they are, first of all, a particular set of energy that, given that energy never destroys itself but can only change, has the opportunity to exist again in the future, time being without end. The information is conserved only bc it belongs to a simpler thing, that is eternal, but is not eternal, that information, in itself.
@echoshadow1490 Information is neither a form of energy nor matter, and it can not be measured in energy units. It is just as fundamental as energy and matter, though.
So the entire premise to your argument is dead wrong.
@@PrescottValley If "information" is not energy, what can possibly be the support for that information? Nothing?
It has to be energy, bc energy is the only kind of substance that the universe has. The universe is made out of energy, so if something endures change inside of it, it has to be made of energy, bc it's inside the universe. There is no other option.
@echoshadow1490 argue with science, not me. Science has decidedly stated that information is not energy nor is it measured in energy units. Entropy is how information is measured.
@@PrescottValley Do you realize that entropy is just a concept that describes how energy behaves is physical systems? Look at the second principle of thermodinamics.
Given a system, only a fraction of the energy it has can be used as "work", as energy to make things, while another fraction represents the energy that gets dissipated. Entropy is just the moviment between one state of energy and another. Hence, it can't have sense if those states don't exist.
Furthermore, your belief on the fact that information gets conserved like that is against entropy. One fraction of "information", which is just a word to say "state of energy", always gets lost.

Thank you for the support!

And his insight was based upon what?
Think about infinite, everything that can happen will happen, our energy can not be created or destroyed, so it will be allocated in various ways. Many times similar to this way. We are cosmic dust. The universe is one, we are the universe.

It is depressing to know that how little people know about things. The concept of “cyclic existence” is taught by Buddha almost 2600 years ago. In fact one of the goal in Buddhism is to break this cycle.
