    As someone who grew up in Valencia but lives in London, it was so nice hearing your nuanced description of el Camino.

      Thanks Ryan! I think I'll articulate that Nietzschean/walking aphorism thing a bit more in future because it was a real bit revelation (for me anyway)

    Buen Camino, brother. The Camino is a truly humbling thing. It's tremendous that you it affected you in such a profound way. God be with you.
    I'll be walking part of the Portugal Camino in a week's time. I can't wait!

      Ooh nice I'm jealous I'd love to be heading back out there again! I'm thinking I might do the portugese next year. That and del Norte call to me but I'm going to wait and let it cook and see what comes up. Which way are you taking? I hear there's an inland route and a coastal route right?

      @@TheLivingPhilosophy I'll be walking a small portion of the coastal route with a good mate of mine. It marks the end of a gruelling year and a half of study for me, and one of our few opportunities to spend time together before 2024. The forecast is very good. I wonder how different the experience is walking north, as opposed to walking west.

      What a way to cut loose! Hope it's everything you're looking for and more! I do wonder about the northward thing as well - completely different Camino tan if nothing else 😂

    That was really interesting James, been processing a lot since I came back too & resonated with a lot of what you said..though you said it much better than I could! Am really glad you were one of the people I met while walking, what a journey eh.. and looking forward to watching more of your stuff! Buen camino dude 🤗

    I just ran across your video and love your spiritual perspectives. Every time I go on long hikes, I feel a deep connection to the natures magic and let all my anxiousness dissipate like mist in the air. I wish you the very best and look forward to more of your content.

    Van Gogh's 'Smoking Skull' in the background! Wow - first time I've seen this painting (print) anywhere outside of my own book on Van Gogh! One of my favourite paintings! Love it.

    funny, we've had that Van Gogh around the house for a while. Love your videos. Thanks for the information. I worked on the West of Ireland at a hostel for a couple who did the Camino in chunks. I've been interested in it ever since.

    wish we had met last year on the Camino - I’m only halfway in, but I’m really digging your thoughts. My experience was in the same vein (as are many’s, I suppose). What is the book called at around the 13th minute, “a theory of everything”?

    • @storiestellr
      @storiestellr 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ok it’s “The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World”, found it! - and I had similar feelings in the cathedral. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.

  • @mortenh9519

    Loved hearing about your experience. I also found my experience the church in Santiago a bit hollow, but, like you, Ioved Finisterre.
    I walked the Camino in 2018. It is one of the most profound experiences in my life, and I am not religious. I still keep in touch with a number of the people I met - and I am planning my next one.:)

    • @TheLivingPhilosophy
      @TheLivingPhilosophy  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good to hear it wasn't just me! And also great to hear that the religious thing was similar in your case (and also that you've stayed in touch with a few people; there's a few gems I've met along the way that I'd be sorry to lose touch with)

    Muchos datos incorrectos. Carlomagno fue derrotado por los vascos, no por los moros.
    Los irlandeses no poblaron el norte de Hispania , sino los celtas. Una de sus muchas tribus. En la Península iberica hace mas de 50.mil años que esta el homo sapiens sapiens.😊
