I really think this is a very underated channel, a lot of good stuff here to learn..it amaze me to see a guy you're age to have that knowledge and to be honest im one of many that follows you,and anticipating your knowledge sharing.keep it up and sending my greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Another thought provoking video. Thanks Seve. I've been going through this journey for about 5 years now. Not really geared toward minimalism, but just in a general sense cleaning up my life and understanding who I am at my core. I used to use the term mindfulness. When I discovered this it was like a great revelation to me. But I have since learned that the mind is not my core. It is my thinking tool, much in the way the body is my vehicle on this planet. Mindfulness then was a way to look at mind, which is a kind of weird paradox. A first step in understanding. There is something above mind, and that is my core, or who I actually am. For me that is a spiritual revelation. The next step if you will. At the level of mind, the world is big, it is persuasive, it is influential, and it is a bit tormenting or troublesome. Go above mind, and the world almost seems trivial. Not in a dismissive way, I don't mean to say it isn't real or unimportant. But really what we mean by "world" is the collective influences and pressures that society would impose on us. And these are huge to the mind. But in the spirit, they are more curiosities. Even our own fears start to look like curiosities. In the end, life becomes benevolent, not imposing. When we detach really from believing we are this mind created 'person' and become who we truly are. It is here that we can truly let go of things, beliefs, pressures and all the things the mind tells us we should be doing or not doing. Free. But the mind doesn't give up control easily... It occurs to me that the idea of physical minimalism is a symbolic attempt in the world of our spirit wanting to be free of fear, of beliefs, of the false self. Drop the mind self and the true self will begin to drop all that is unnecessary.
I have had very similar thoughts in my own journey! Sometimes this feeling or experiencing that is so hard to put into words. it is just so deep and powerful. Thank you for this comment 😊
One of the more difficult things for me was my friendship with people who were well off and enjoyed a more upscale lifestyle than I felt comfortable with. I loved being with them but often felt I was compromising the life I wanted. In the end some drifted away but the ones who stayed were the ones who could live their lives and still respect the way I wanted to live my life. It was a good solution. You do wonderful videos and your country is so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this, Yvonne! I'm glad the people that respected you decided to stay in your life. I've had very similar experiences too. And thanks for the nice words 😊 I'm always happy to see you in my comment sections
What do you personally want to achieve through simplifying life? 🐻
More freedom!
Living a lite I can call my own, according to my values, principles, standards etc😊
