_
In this video, I talk about Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and why you are your own worst enemy.
Fear is often our greatest obstacle. Fear arises from thought, thought arises from desire, desire rises and falls based on our understanding of the world, and our understanding transforms through contact with reality.
Fear - Thought - Desire - Understanding - Contact

  • I’m an upper limb amputee and I hide it by wearing long sleeve shirts all the time but now I feel like I just wanna wear whatever I want except that I’m scared of how others will perceive me. Since the amputation, my family raised me over-protectively and so it was there when they started buying me only long sleeve shirts and from there I grew up being afraid of what others might think if they ever saw my limb difference along with my scars. This vid has revealed to me that it is my desire to be perceived as a “normal” person but what is normal anyway?? Now I will try to be brave and wear the cool graphic t-shirts I’ve always wanted to wear. Thanks a lot and shout out to Nietzsche

    • I think he was just being nice. He was just politely brushing aside his feelings because they are an obstacle. Your feelings are neither valid or invalid, they are just the result of your desires and understanding. This video could easily be called, your "feelings are your own worse enemy." To let feelings entirely dictate your actions is like letting a horse decide where you should go instead of you. If your just a bundle of feelings, then you will end up as an animal, another person in the crowd who won't think for themselves. One of your most primal desires is to survive and going along with everybody is one of the easiest ways to do that. But animals just survive. You are a human and as such, you may have greater desires than merely survival. Consider the student acrobat. What animal would willing do acrobat stunts for entertainment? And don't say monkey... no monkey is going train himself or do great acts like a professional acrobat would, because it takes actual training and work to be good at it. So ask yourself this question, do you want to be an animal or the best human you can be?

    • @@Jimraynor45 I dont think he was being nice but I think its more about the fact that ppl sometimes have the worst feelings and based on those feelings, they freak out and torture themselves by thinking that these feelings define who they are and just want them gone cause it generates a whole other feeling of "feeling bad" ab whatchu experiencing. For example I have OCD, and first time i experienced intrusive thoughts, I had no idea what the fuck was going on and I couldnt bring myself to even talk to someone about that. But here's the thing, this really goes hand in hand with what you're saying because if you act based on these intrusive desires/thoughts or even feelings then definitely, youd be nothing but a robot or live life based on them and not with your brain. But that doesnt mean that these thoughts/desires/feelings aint valid, they are, but they're not you and you shouldnt judge yourself based on that. For example meditation is the perfect example for this; when you notice a thought arising, simply notice it and return back to your breathing. Noticing it equals that you acknowledge its valid but its not you.

  • I think this is one of the major issues in western culture. We strive for the respect of the people around us even though they may be nothing like us. This is a sort of conformity that stifles the individuals character, twisting and warping them into a less happy productive good person. It’s also very difficult being your own person. You have to be very aware of who you are and courageous enough to be that person, and constantly run the risk of being out of balance and becoming someone no one respects

At 21 I was earning more than both of my parents combined!! . edit: the way I wrote it made it seem like it was about the money indeed and whoever tried to live out of their passion know that the pressure is huge, everyone telling you "you can't make money with art" etc etc.. so money was a huge thing for my relatives. Working with something you love is incredible, I can't imagine living any other way after that. Give it a try!

    • Nietzche served as a medical orderly in a war and saw/dealt with the craziest shit imagineable. He did drugs and fucked prostitutes about it but much of his writings are about dealing with trauma. Overcoming that fear and trying to find a purpose was a battle he fought his whole life. He definitely didnt say its an easy battle to win but recognizing its an internal personal struggle with yourself is a good starting point if you want to find some kind of peace.

    • If fear stems from desire couldn’t one easily say that those who have suffered from Trauma have gained desire to be free from it? Maybe then trauma survivors have more desire than others. They desire to be safe more than others. Recognizing less worry about safety is warranted would make one feel safer. I think this is accordance with Nietzsche’s proposed solution. Also, talking your way out of it is not what’s being proposed; it’s more understanding your way out it. The 2nd one is a lot harder than the first.

    • Well if you're the real deal you'll be able to develop a niche/a style original and specific enough that everyone who likes it will be able to obtain it from you and you only. If you simply like to draw occasionally or to cover other artists songs then it's maybe for the best to keep it just as a hobby and instead invest the majority of your time in some sort of work where you're able to constantly contribute and create value. Eg my earnings from my art as well as my style increased drastically since I became a janitor. Why? Because I removed the desire and the fear out of the way and I'm able to create with full freedom without thinking what if people don't like my next thing.

  • I completely agree with you backtracing of stimuli and solving them, ultimately we reach a point where things change when we get in contact with noticed knowledge, that's why if we read a philosophical book, the unnoticed thing becomes noticed and then understanding of surrounding then desire then thought then stimuli, the best way is to question your fear and if things are not in control then accept it and take responsibility on what's in your control. I wish you all have a great life and freedom of thought next target 10 million. If you want to read a philosophical book then I'll recommend Seven "Spiritual Laws Of Sucess". Regards Pratham.

I had learnt sometime ago that desires are so powerful, so I longed to know how I can be able to cultivate a desire so that I can fulfill my dreams. This video pointed that out so clearly. Now I know my desire comes from my understanding which comes from my contact with reality. Oh boy! Am going to shake the world with this principle I have just learnt. Thank you so so much

I felt a turmoil within me and then this came to my feed. it's true I have fears, fear of failure and that is stopping me from taking actions. I want to change my present conditions to something way better than I'm right now, and I think I'm myself resisting the change. I needed this. Thankyou💖

Another offshoot thought I got from this is, yes indeed our understanding changes as gain more contact and experience life. But does that change us continuously? If so how to be certain about ourselves?

  • Merp- this is somewhat true to an extent but also is an easy way to actually dismiss problematic and abusive behavior by other people. I have a boss who loves telling everyone to “change their mindset and thoughts” when he is the most toxic and nasty person ever. He’ll berate you and humiliate you, then tell you “well maybe you just need to change your mindset.” He thinks abusive behavior is a justified because it teaches you to be stronger.

  • Part of the reason we conform is because the economy demands it of us. The video notes that the student is afraid of not making any money and having to live on the streets, but it doesn't offer any real solutions to that fear. I don't know how much trapeze artists make but there's a reason there aren't that many: the demand is not that high. Poverty is a valid fear; not everyone is able to make a living following their dream, and in the US at least we have no safety net for people who "fail." (Most often the safety net for creative people is their families, therefore the pressure to choose a "normal" career path.) The ideal would be for everyone to follow their dreams, but many of us literally cannot do so without risking our lives.

    • Reminds me of Osho vs Buddhism, with buddhists detaching from/rejecting desires but being left in a state of coldness. It's always been my personal pov too. There's one phrase that I found perfectly expressed this: detachment is not that you should own nothing, but that nothing should own you. It's not about rejecting desires or anything worldly and materialistic, it's about enjoying them from a place of no-mind/no-ego where there's no identification with said things, therefore no hope nor expectation, no compulsion nor urge to control and no fear, only will to experience and share.

  • Funny, I end up on the street while pursuing music. When I had a 3 out of six string left on my instrument and no money nor food and friends wanted to call cops cause I was getting to comfortable couchsurfing , I thought that I was selling a value : Beauty , esthetics , good mood and that I should let of the fear or what others will think. Author , spend tree days on empty stomach during a hot summer day performing art and having buddies throwing you on the streets , then council. Real life experience might be a quite different then reading a book.
