Philosophy: The Love of Wisdom | A Guide to Life
Philosophy is a mode of life, an act of living, and a way of being. Modern philosophy has forgotten this tradition, and philosophical discourse has all but overtaken philosophy as a way of life. Philosophy is not just an intellectual discipline, which can get abstract and divorced from the real world, but is most importantly a way of life that teaches us how to best live our lives.
Philosophy is a mode of existing in the world, which has to be practiced at each instant, and the goal of which is to transform the whole of the individual’s life. Real wisdom does not merely cause us to know: it makes us “be” in a different way.
Ancient philosophy proposed to mankind an art of living. By contrast modern philosophy appears above all as the construction of a technical jargon reserved for specialists.

Does God have a mother?
What psychology books do u recommend
🙏🙏🙏🙏wow thank you much I really needed to hear this
In other words submit to predeterminism. That's kind of wanting to be a whole life spectator. Not very moving.
Thank you. To whomever reads this. I wish you well. You are incredible. I love you.
Holy mother of God... I haven't even started yet and I already know this video is a work of art.
My mind is already twitching with intrigue.
Stop blasphemy fool
Truly indeed.
Right!!!?????
yo i’m 10 minutes in and i had to pause and reflect
What an amazing channel. I’m 5 years in, with the self work, the shadow work, and building my life back up around philosophy. I’m 42 and finally feel free of judgement, free of stress and free of anxiety and fear of death and trying to control things. This channel has been a big part of my transition, and many others. Thankyou heaps xx also before you embark on this journey know you have to stop bullshitting yourself. Also, you will lose many people around you who are unable to grow. Good luck x
Can you share which other channels
Happy for you
@40:05 pause, " The Willing are led by fate, the Reluctant dragged." Life summed up.
1 hour of knowledge expertly spun out by the mind and tongue of Eternalized! Can't get anymore fullfilling than this!
Amen!
The tongue doesn't emit what we call noise, nonsense, no tongue is actually speaking. The vocal chords twang and cause a ripple effect in the Aether much like a violin twangs it's chords but again the violin isn't omitting anything any noise. No one is actually speaking, but the ripples in the Aether what we call sound waves are picked up by a biological instrument called the ear, and the ripples bounce of the ear drum so to say. We use language to interpret vibration. Word's are vibrations....
@@bunchofgrapesorafig okay...
he really is doing work worth supporting in all ways we can
How to embody philia Sophia? It is a state of being in which the logos and Eros can flow through us without being bound by the attachment and the illusion of sepperation. I am very grateful for what you do. Keep up the great work
Haven't watched yet, but already know this is going to be great. Thank you!
Philosophy is a very wide area, a very wide subject, but the best definition after 6 years of studying philosophy, for me, is that philosophy is a study of ideas. Philosophy is not a science, and there is very good reason for that, any science has to have in its foundations a few axioms, propositions that are taken as such, without the need for proof, or evidence... Philosophy has no such axioms, which is explained in the "Introduction in philosophy" by Eugen Fink... Of course, some may claim that logic is science, logic is part of philosophy, or at least that is how I studied that field, but logic (and perhaps math) is just an "organon", a tool that science is using.
Based
A good dialectical perspective. Philosophy can be viewed as part of the humanities. On the other hand Philosophy is a discipline in the interdisciplinary cognitive science. Along the spectrum with anthropology and psychology because social signalling primates require religio. As for metaphysics the learned ignorant might be agnostic.
@@bennieb8586 I am an agnostic atheist, I don't believe in the claims of religious people. And metaphysics, I had to go over all that torture, reading and learning metaphysics to find out that it is a dead end, that metaphysics has no real worth, and all the metaphysics can be thrown in a bucket.
The best definition of philosophy is in the name itself and doesn't need to be changed, it literally means "love of wisdom." A "study of ideas" is too clinical and detached, whereas "love of wisdom" better sets out the purpose of philosophy and the relationship between philosopher and philosophy.
Wisdom is to somehow come up with the right answers to the right questions, despite living in a world in which right or wrong is not predetermined ...maybe
Who needs college when we have Eternalised!
Here from Ryan Garcia
You Speak To My Inner Duality🤍
Nothing is Dual in reality, you talk as if you are living in a separate world to the rest of everything else. There is no duality and no one who is anywhere else but here.....
@@bunchofgrapesorafigyou have no idea what she is talking about, what that means to her
@@dont_think2x reality isn't subjective, poetics in terms of singing, music, poetry, painting etc on an individual level can be used as methods by which the individual can express one's self. But objective reality as it really is, is what it really is. An electromagnetic spectrum..etc. there is nothing dual about reality itself, nothing dual about a human being either....
@@bunchofgrapesorafig yeah, what does "speak to my (inner) duality" sound like to you? You think they were talking about objective reality?
Sounds like she was talking about something vague and subjective don't it?
That first minute is me in a nutshell, and I imagine most others. Consume all the "right" content (philosophy, exercise, well-being, productivity etc) but live my life in not the most ideal way... It's very difficult to walk the walk!
Right there with you.
once you grasp that every egoic action will be compensated for by constellation of the opposing psychic complex you are leaning in the pain voluntarily.
@@timoxyz1466 that's interesting, can you perhaps expand upon that? Or point me in the direction of some reading?
@@Cheximus In Carl Jungs work, there is the ego-complex and the opposing force the shadow(ego-dystonic complex). The ego complex would be best summed up as your ideal self and the shadow the worst version of you. Since both of those things exist in almost every individual they fight for 'being you' so to speak resulting in the usual up and downs of life and ultimately in the hedonistic treadmill trap. You will find yourself in the middle of both, every time you near your ideal self the shadow will hinder you and throw you back.(just look at your life there you can clearly see it) Thus resulting what other traditions call karma or karmic game. (They kinda just explain it bad it isn't do good get good. Rather do egoistic stuff and the opposing shadow will be pissed about that) Now once you realize that every egoic action has its consequences you can choose to get rid of the harsh ideals of the ego or almost free yourself from it entirely which is then called enlightenment in spiritual traditions. (escaping the karmic game) If something needs further explanation just let me know. Carl Jungs work and other depth psychology as well as Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and e.g. the Tibetan book of the dying + Timothy learys interpretation of it are great sources to expand on this but you gotta puzzle it together your self and most importantly try to find this karmic sequence in your life :)
@@timoxyz1466 nice man, thanks, I appreciate it. I guess it's a similar concept of ying and Yang. I've had very similar thoughts whilst using LSD - everything is opposites. Love, hate, pain, joy etc. I'm coming at it from a very basic level but I think I see what you're saying. I certainly indulge in hedonistic activities to the detriment of my future (and current, to an extent) future self. Thanks again.
What a Gem this channel is. Much love & gratitude ❤
Long time lurker, but I just have say your work is phenonmenal. You've honestly been a gateway to Philsophy for me and I thank you for assisting in transforming my life in more ways than one.
Damn my guy giving this information for free. God bless you.
Thank you brother your channel is expanding my mind and helping me with my anxiety unfortunately I live in poverty and when I look outside nobody understands but I do I learned so much and it triggered me to enroll in college at the age of 39 truth be told I have to stop and goggle some words thanks again
Look up that handle 👆⬆️ his got psych products and mushroms🍄🍄.
I am proud of you Sir.
Wonderful admirable . I appreciate your truth and accomplishments. true alchemy and transformation
Keep going Chris. Get that knowledge big bro🤟🏿
just watched it but I have a feeling I’m gonna need a rewatch haha excellent video you’re doing us all a great service by sharing your knowledge
So many concepts, it becomes necessary to watch again.
I think it’s fantastic when I stumble across teachings that cement the mentality I’ve been going towards
Ryan Garcia got me here!!
This channel cures my schizophrenic episodes
The heavens rejoice when I watch this channel.
Not only are your videos clear and concise but you've got a great voice. Keep up the good work!
Amazing. Thank you for posting this! ❤
thank you eternalized!
Thank you so much for making and sharing this video with us!
I always check for new works from this Channel almost daily. I LOVE this channel and new vids are always so exciting. I often even know most of the content however the way his delivery, voice, context, compilation and flow. I’ve watched them all several times.
The editing is great, by all means they just had to throw a blank slide but they picked out the most beautiful pieces of art to accompany an already beautiful narration on its own.
Thanks , can’t wait to sit down with a cup of tea and enjoy this. Beautiful
What a service this channel is. Thank you!
Beautiful inspired video as always.
this video is helping me so much. thank you for this.
Ryan García sent me here
By far one of the best videos I've ever seen on KZhead. Thanks for your time.
I really like long videos like this, I was so happy to see an hour video from you!
Thank you for the very high standard of quality work you continually produce!
THANK YOU @Eternalized staff
I know this is gonna be a good one 🍿
I’m so glad I found your channel love to gain more knowledge! 🔥
Thank you for the work you are putting ❤️
This is much appreciated... Will watch again, and again... 💕
Haven't watched yet, but fell over with excitement when I saw there was 60 minutes!
Philosophy = the study and practice of an integral Way of being, knowing and doing. The most significant choice we can make in this Life is between unconscious compulsive reaction and conscious creative response.
I was just about to close youtube, damn youuuuuu, Eternalised! 🤣
😂
The comments! 😂
As always great video, you make my life better and more interesting through your work
A wonderful summary of some of the greatest ideas in history!
Thanks and gratitude my friend. The content you brought to us really shows that mankind has access to real being. The accretions of personality and pursuit of false ideals lead to suffering. The clear seeing of what these hindrances are is all we can really do. Having seen them they fade away. Beauty begins to shine through.
Can't wait to finish watching this, A vid from an appreciated person is out after waiting
I'm grateful for this channel, it's more like a gallery of art : each video is literally an artwork

I love this channel so much, you have done soo much for so many people. Thank you for being our digital philosopher.
I tune into this channel every day after work! Great work indeed!
thankyou. your effort is not only totally appreciated but most enlightening. ❤
You display a rather rare competence and respect for ancient philosophy with this video that I think truly is a diamond in the rough. Thank you and bravo
I'm not trying to take away from this video. I know it took a lot of hard work, but it's basically Pierre Hadot's work. Even when he's not citing him, he's frequently directly taking passages from What is Ancient Philosophy? Highly recommend that book, if you like this video. Maybe the best thing I've ever read.
@@mworkman3375 I picked it up because of this video and have been absolutely loving it. Thank you for your recommendation :)
@@aidan738 oh, you're very welcome. It's a very important book in my world and I'm glad you're enjoying it :)
Hmmm, seems like we have another one with high perception qualities@@mworkman3375 , let me show off my deduction skills: there is a 60% chance you have some kind of ADHD and an 80% chance of ADT, let me know if i m right, [jk, take this lightly please.]
Finally an upload🥹
Your voice is perfect for speaking about these subjects. Your subjects are always engaging and your clear presentation so thoughtful. Great combination. PS I love the art as a backdrop. Well chosen.
WOOOL LETS GOO!! Its a good day when eternalised uploads! Good day at work and you made it even better.
Your videos have played a great part in my own Hero's Journey. Thank you, my friend, for bringing wisdom presented in such a soothing, intellectual, and well-structured manner to this world. I am still early in my journey of self-realization and true philosophical understanding but I remain strong. Your videos make adjusting to the light of the sun easier. I appreciate you and I hope you are happy.
So much to break down in this video, well done
Just this: thank you. Excellent greetings from Flanders Belgium
I'm grateful for your your videos, all the time and energy you spend on them and the research behind it. Thank you
Wow man this is an incredible piece of work and information. I’m so great full to be young and live in a time of abundance of knowledge that is readily available to most. Great work!
Love your videos.
This channel is truly a blessing to the world.. Thank you 🙏

I'm in love with this channel. Its been transformative in correcting my inner nihilist.
Excellent work, thank you. !!
Cannot find the proper words to describe my gratitude towards you, but just want to say that your videos are precious blessings.
I just want to cry as this and only this is exactly what we all need!! This is more important than food and water!! We all need to first learn how to live well and how to think before everything else! And it is an every-second practice! Every second of our lives must be filled with the true essence of our being, which is in fact the devine, the universe, the cosmos, the love, the oneness!
To know how to live well, you need to be alive first. Without food or water which is impossible.
@@user-eu6uz7jx5z I think what he is saying is that Man cannot live by bread alone, not that we should starve ourselves to death?
Thank you so much for this man
Cette vidéo est un chef d'oeuvre! Merci pour votre travail incroyable!
Another fantastic video. One of the best of philosophy that I ever watched.
Wow what a fantastic video, a real work of art. Huge respect to you & what you do. Can’t agree more about philosophy being a way to live a good life not just academics. Thanks again, really impressive.
Thank you for investing your time, energy, and knowledge into such a video. It is truly a great work.
thank you for this video. i love it!!!
Wow just wow. Exceeded my expectations

Oooooo so excited for this!
This type of works speaks to my soul. Reminiscent of being a child and listening to a bed time story told by my grandma. Instead of stories that stimulate my imagination, philosophy on the other hand is like a gift to my reincarnated self from my previous selves, guides that stack on top of one another preparing me for this very experience again and again. Keep up the good work @eternalized

Thank you so much 🌼
Incredible work on this video! It outshines my own efforts by a long shot.
i started this video with a cup of hot coffee beside me, and i finished this video with a half cup of cold coffee beside me. i was so immersed in this that i forgot taking a sip of my coffee from time to time. every time a new philosophy is introduced, i immediately stop the video to search it up first before continuing. i loved it! i learned so much, thought so much, but felt so much peace at the same time. this channel easily came off as one of my favorite channels here on youtube.
Thank you so much for this. You know exactly when to cover each topic
