Here we shall dwell upon knowledge of all kinds! Be it self-help, philosophy, spirituality- the deep kinds if we may, and the unknown kinds. Hopefully zen, taoism, buddhism, and other ancient texts will provide an adequate doorway! But it shall be our own task to tread the paths beyond! Let us employ both the wisdom of our thoughts and of our emotions too. Be welcome, strangers from distant lands, friends of old! And may the moons guide us well...

Dwellings on nothingness, what was there before the big bang, and many other topics!
Hey guys! A bit of a different topic today, swaying away from spirituality PER SE and getting more on some abstract ideas but it's going to be interesting to crack these ones. It's more clearing out misconceptions than actually LEARNING about something perhaps but I think it came out exciting anyways! I'll do another video soon to do more justice on this age old topic tho.
I really, really do like this topic, such a mysterious aura around it I believe. I for some reason imagine that people who really think about this are just about the coolest people of them all. It's just a classic topic.
Hope you guys like it, more questions than answers perhaps but I think we're gonna get there! There's more discuss on my part on this, maybe it won't actually go anywhere at the end. But when a problem has no solution, it is not a problem anymore, just something to be accepted. In other words, it never FEELS bad, it starts to feel good actually!

What if we knew everything?
This one is more intended to be a feel good video! I tried some music in the background from the awesome Adrian Von Ziegler. I hope you guys like it. I'm flowing around on many topics, it is hard to mold it into a shape to describe it, at least into the shape of words. I shot this one in the same day as my language sequel.
Great day to all.
Great day to all.

Rant! How to not give a fuck?
I've always wanted to do a video in which I rant about some shit, it finally happened! This is more of a self-help post but I ended up mixing in some philosophy too especially at the end. Talking about emotions, some more thoughts on the dreamless sleep, human nature and fate. It is interesting how life was just given to us isn't it? We didn't choose to live, we were just born one day. Is that not a reason to trust in destiny?

Do you want to live forever?
Hello and welcome! Since last time, we have managed to come out unharmed out of the forest yet we find ourselves in some kind of time warp, as today the topics are centering around aging and immortality (with some taoism in the middle). We are also presented with strange creatures left and right. We are really out there! Perhaps this is an odd moon that we are under.

Are humans naturally good or evil? Video summary.
Welcome dear reader! This is a brief summary of what the final part of my last video was about.
At the very core of humans lies emotion. So, it is something we all seek, by our very nature. Emotions are energy, after all! They make us feel more alive. Us, being life, is what we yearn for... What makes this tale of humanity one for the ages is that both good and evil give us a rise in emotion. This allows us to pick what we want to be... good or evil. Both of them make us stronger in a way. Both of them make us feel more alive in a way. Yet, it is good that we have the seed of both good and evil within us. Because if we did not have one of them, emotion would be impossible, which is both our biggest strength and our biggest weakness. Why is evil necessary to create emotion, which appears to be a great thing after all? It is like a car that goes very fast. It is good that is goes fast, because it allows you to get from one place to the other one very quickly. Yet if you crash at a high speed it is much more destructive! See, without the freedom to do bad, we would not have the freedom to do good either. We would not have freedom at all! If swords would be made impossible, then iron would need to not exist. How, then, can one wear beautiful jewelry made out of iron? It goes both ways. To restrict something in the name of freedom appears to be quite harmful to the very concept of freedom. Perhaps it can not be done. To do good, you need freedom, yet freedom enables one to do bad as well! Like Alan Watts said, freedom is dangerous! Good, evil and emotions just ended up linked... without the capacity for one we would not have the capacity for the other one either. But we do not need to be both things. You can pick good and become pure good anyways. You just have to find a way to subdue the other part. Or transmute it into something good. That is what makes this tale so unique...

Dwellings in a forest!
Hi guys! A channel update, I now have an etsy shop in which I sell jewelry. See the video for more details, I leave the link below as well.
It seems like we have managed to find a way out of the foggy paths from the last time! They brought up to an open passage through a forest yet the times are quite cloudy nonetheless. But the brightness that lurks behind them definitely made its presence felt! It was a silvery adventure.

Second video! Feat. Weed.
Hey guys, it is my second video, some ramblings with the help of hash. I really liked making this one, I hope you like to listen to it too! This one is about topics much murkier and darker than the last time. It is a complicated stream of thought, trying to find its way around strange objects in the strangest moonlit paths.

The lost magical kingdoms of the universe
Where did
you grow up? You may be an american. You may have grown up in New York,
perhaps. Or maybe it is an old abandoned town, with nothing particularly
exciting happening in it. Just some shrubs and common flowers abound in it.
Many
would be proud of their home town and defend their country to their death. But
if you grew up in a city would you not have had enough of it after some time?
You'd want to leave, the grass is always greener in the other side. Or,
perhaps, you may suppose that since you lived in it long enough, you got to
know it better in some way. You knew all of it's aura, the light that surrounds
it, every bird, every worm, every drop of water of it became magical to you.
You may
not be too happy with the place you are living in, but you have to live
somewhere. Without the outside the inside could not exist either. All the space
that surrounds you, whether it be good or bad, is equally real. The tasty mango
fruit or the poisonous berry both exist in the same amount. That surely counts
for something!
Would you
enjoy living in a mythical palace, where even the subtle glowing mist in the
air you breathe is sweet enough to sustain your body, where the light itself is
an enchanted essence that is so beautiful that you never get tired as long as
it surrounds you? Just one breath here would be more blissfully satisfying than
any drug here on this earth. Would you like to live in here if your clothes
were all dusty and torn up rags?
Yes, of
course. So too I enjoy living in my home town, even tho it is a place where pollution
is increasing and man-made infrastructures are replacing the pretty creations
of nature. It is as if I were wearing dirty clothes. But where does the city
itself live in? It is a part of something greater as well. Me and the city both
must be living in a greater place. We are both a part of the same thing. This
big universe that we live in.
I don't
live in my city. As Socrates once said, "I am not an Athenian or a
Greek, but a citizen of the world." I live in the eternal Tao, just
like my surroundings do. There is no home that is better than this one. My town
is like the dirty clothes that I wear but I am living in a magical kingdom, so
what do I care.
Nothing
of value can ever be truly lost. Nothing worthless can ever be truly had. Would
you accept a gift if it had a 50/50 chance of disappearing tomorrow? How can
you enjoy something that, by its own nature, is feeble?
Would you
seek to build a house on a very weak foundation? It may be an excellent house.
But the more it grows, the harder it will fall, and all of that will have been
for nothing. The house was, therefore, never worth a thing. It only brought you
worries, that consumed you slowly but surely, until the big fall.
Love that
fades was never true love... love is strong and eternal! Time heals all wounds
but time consumes all living things eventually, even the wounds that it healed.
So don't try to meddle with it. The more you attach to material things, the
greater will your pain be when they inevitably get destroyed. Do not hold on,
let them go.
The only
thing you can trust in is love. As Rumi said, don't worry, everything that you
lose comes around in another form. I say that if something is real it will
always be present, you just think that you've lost it!
The only
reason why you don't see it in the outside world, is because
you don't see it inside of yourself. If you don't have it inside of you, how
can you recognize it when you see it outside? If you come across a rough
diamond yet you don't know what it is, you will think it is just an ordinary
stone.
