"Alcoholism is a slow form of commiting suicide." I'll drink to that.

Fantastic video

I think life is so hard because we are out of God's will for us. Sadly, it's also so hard to find out what that will is. It's like some kind of game. By the way, the more righteous one seeks to grow, the more tests from the devil to make life for them even harder. This also is saddening to me but i can't do nothing about it to make it different from that. I am just frustrated with all this reality.

Such a great lecture, too bad the buzz in the mic is there :/

im back dr.dodson. kinda lost that's why i need to rewatch your videos. Thank youuu. u the besttt!!!!!

this is a work of art, thank you for this!

Thank you for this wisdom. Death is the only true release from this nightmare. I have given my body and spirit to futile attempts at becoming the architect of my world. Life is a beast I can not coexist with

I love your videos.

❤this is wonderful !

It was my money to begin with 🙄

Thank you! Excellent!

Thank you ❤

Thank you. So very helpful in acceptance of rejection and using it to advantage to change.

Thank you. I very much appreciate your discussion of the mystery and the magic in our lives.

Thank you for your service.❤

My best understanding of the soul would have to come from Carlos Castaneda or the New Testament. Although we are all connected we are also individual beings of light, life, and energy. I used to beleive souls could retain their individuality posthumously, and possibly some souls might, but in my own case I reached a point in life where everything changed, so now I beleive my being (soul) will proably just disintegrate and evaporate into the Earth and atmosphere. All that will be left are the memories of who I was, retained for a period by living people who new me, and genetic material, but genetic material proably would not qualify as being a soul.

The most inter-personally violent professor I ever had was a devote of Rollo May. I will never trust Rollo May.

Very Good! Thanks

Met the Trickster archetype on magic mushrooms and its amazing.

Thank you for this - today I felt content to learn more about contentment. Tao and Jung offer amazing guidance.

A doutrina dos tres estagios da vida na pratica me parece incompreensivel. Desta vez, complicou-me🎉 a observacao de na passagem da esfera etica para a religiosa haver um conflito. Parece-me portanto que e ele a angustia, a vertigem da liberdade ou a escolha ou salto da fe... Mas seria isso mesmo? O exemplo de Abraao nao chega a me convencer. Ele parece muito confiante em Deus, nem um pouco angustiado de talvez ter enlouquecido. Escolher para Kierkegaard, segundo me parece agora, so seria possivel no caso da fe e esta somente abrindo mao absolutamente das consequencias de sua acao... Em suma, continuo no escuro sobre o salto da fe... Quando muito encontro algo parecido a ele na ideia do amor fati de Nietzsche que, por sua vez, tambem me parece um coelho tirado da cartola..

Take care of your soul. That was beautiful. I'm going to have to start using that instead of take care of yourself.

Thank you for the insightful video. While I'm uncertain about the reasons behind halting video production, one potential explanation could be a shortage of fresh topics to explore. If that is indeed the case, I would like to suggest some topics for consideration. Your series dissecting the thoughts of philosophers and psychologists, particularly those related to university, was captivating. I would appreciate delving deeper into the philosophies of Carl Rogers or perhaps exploring the realm of Carl Jung. Jung's concepts of the 'Self' and the Individuation process are intriguing and offer potential links to the spiritual dimension you often touch upon in your videos. However, I have yet to encounter content that delves as deeply into your perspective on these matters. This suggestion ties into my second proposal, which concerns meditation at an intermediate level. For individuals capable of meditating for extended periods, guidance on where to progress next would be invaluable. From personal experience, I have found myself gradually reaching a state of peace through meditation, only to later lose momentum and cease the practice altogether, before eventually returning to it in the future. Although this might be due to attachment to the ego suffering, I also suspect it may stem from a dearth of a guiding philosophy or compelling goal to imbue the discipline with value and direction. My perspective, rooted in atheism and unfulfilled by concepts such as Karma, leads me to believe that Jung's exploration of the 'self' may hold the answers I seek. In summary, my suggestions are as follows: further exploration of ideas from the same or similar thinkers in a series format, a deep dive (potentially as a series) into Jung's concept of the self and the individuation process, and guidance on meditation tailored for those who have already attained a certain proficiency. Once again, I am operating under the assumption that your cessation of video production stems from a lack of inspiration. I hope these suggestions align with your interests and prove valuable as you consider your next steps.

I can listen to your videos for all day. So so wise and insightful! Really appreciate you ! Thank you for helping us!

I would love to be a Buddhist Existentialist. Maybe I am. Maybe I became that at some point. But even if I did it's impermanent.

Blissful video brother 🙏🙏🙌🙌

In various videos, you touch upon an idea that I find perplexing. On one hand, there's Buddhism advocating for the path to eliminating craving, while on the other hand, there's the holistic view which acknowledges craving and attachment. What I've gathered from your videos (though I may have misunderstood) is the notion that we should bring our attachments under control. Personally, I lean towards embracing my desires and then dealing with the attachments that follow. However, I'm struggling to find a clear reference to better define this 'deal' aspect. What does it entail and what should I be striving to achieve? I would greatly appreciate it if you could explore this topic in a video

nice one thanks.

This modern jester approves ^.^ meeeooowww *runs away into wall gets up squeeks and skips away* mwahahhaha Beep Ps nice kitty shirt!

thank you.. I live this one

Well I know I'm not perfect and I don't understand a lot of things either just some things I do but I know when things are good and not good no I'm not stupid 🙄😉😊🙄😆

I have enjoyed your videos immensely. As a professor, I am studying your habitus. I appreciate your candor.😊

Generally the fool is the most powerful archetype hands down.

Now more than ever...

This was fantastic and right on point.

Why is nihilism accompanied by ugliness? Must it be pictured as evil?

No mystery

Especially into German.

I'm deeply depressed since 30 years and antinatalism and elifism make me more miserable. I don't want to believe in it, but I don't see any real counter-argument anywhere else that in religions. And since I'm a real cartesian person and atheist, it wants me to kill myself soon.

I am amazed, simply amazed and humbled at the same time.

There's a Daoist quote that goes along the lines of, "An intelligent man learns something everyday. A wise man unlearns something everyday." which is something I keep in mind a lot these days.

Suicide question is simple to answer, since the world would be better place without me, I just refuse to kill myself.

Such a wonderful conversation. Thank you

He is completely right! If God doesn't exist, marriage is stupid. Wait a minute. I said marriage? Yes, there is no stupider person than a married atheist.

It's a shame listening to someone who evidently is knowledgeable, knows how to articulate well, and shows a high degree of mental sanity, yet still misses the point of antinatalism and efilism all together. He thinks that antinatalists and efilists don't know how to appreciate life or that life is not affirmable for them: antinatalists & efilists are already alive and since they're part of the game they just play it like everybody else, unless they decide to end the game. The whole point is instead that nobody should impose life to any other sentient being unless having previously obtained the consent of the non-yet-born being or having the ability to prove that life experience is necessarily, always and solely, a joyful journey (both these hypotheses are clearly impossible). PS Fun fact: most intellectuals, id est Matt Dillahunty, Jordan Peterson etc., they too miss the whole point on such a "transcendental" subject. Probably we should use less thinking and more feelings; in other words, more empathy and less ego😌

I was just looking up a video on "why life is so hard", and this man definitely was speaking some truth.

Hope you are well Eric, we miss you!

"Is Life Affirmable?" I mean, yeah, if you're good enough at deluding yourself. I think any rational and empathetic person would have to admit that it would be better if the universe had never come into existence.

I check every now and then to see if you made a video, hope you still kickin. Absolutely love everything you put out

You seem to be conflating the archetype of the Trickster with that of the Fool. They're different. You're talking about the archetype of the fool here, not that of the trickster!
