- Beyond Suffering: The Liberation of Assuming Nothing
Existence is suffering, but what if our stories about life are the root of pain? What if our assumptions, beliefs, and narratives are the source of distress?
Join me as we explore:
- The limitations of human knowledge and perception
- The danger of attaching to stories, theories, and dogmas
- The crippling effect of assumption and expectation
- The liberating power of skepticism and doubt
- The freedom of assuming nothing, embracing uncertainty
Discover how:
- Questioning everything, including reality itself, can bring peace
- Letting go of attachments to beliefs and narratives can heal
- Embracing the unknown, and the unknowable, can set us free
- The only certainty is the existence of our own mind
- Assuming nothing, we find true liberation
In a world where truth is elusive, and suffering is rampant, consider the radical approach of assuming nothing. No stories, no theories, no expectations. Just existence, unencumbered.

I waited 13.5 billion years for this video and its EXACTLY the way I imagined it would be.
Existence is a lot of pain honestly. The only thing that really has helped me is to realize that the truth that nothing really matters. Most things we're thinking, saying or doing is just beliefs of what we think is the truth. Nobody knows anything, and that hurts. That really freaking hurts.
So my way of coping in this existence is i'm literally laughing in the face of existence, I am laughing in the face of god, I am laughing in the face of the entire universe. I am not taking it super seriously like I used to and I am just "yolo-ing" this universe. I am not taking it seriously even in the slightest. Because a lot of our suffering comes from taking everything so darn seriously, then we end up feeling hurt because the universe doesn't take our suffering seriously. The universe is indifferent to all of our suffering, so I decided to become indifferent to the universe.
The only thing I can do is look at the small things of life and be like "Yep this is my purpose, eating a apple." Or "Yep this is my purpose, dancing to a catchy song." I don't take anything super seriously and form my meaning off of the smallest and extremely insignificant things. My very existence is a rebellion to the universe that wishes for me to take all of this seriously.
Not anymore.
This universe takes everything we love and crushes it. "Oh you want freedom? Let's give you a 9-5 job". "Oh you love this person, let's make them have a illness or die." "Oh you want to be famous and popular? Let's make it to where you're unlucky and will never get there." Every single time there's something that any of us want, it's either destroyed or not given to us. And to that I say, screw the universe I am not taking anything seriously. Oh i'm dealing with a illness? Meh at least I got my fun movies to watch. Oh i'm struggling mentally? Meh I been through worse, at least I can listen to music. See, this is my solution to dealing with the universe.
Don't take any of it seriously, because the moment we take our pain seriously. We end up going into mental ill spirals because we don't know how to cope with something that doesn't take us seriously. The only thing we can do is literally to "Go crazy" in a sense. Some people may say my way of living is unhealthy, but seriously look around at the universe we're in. IT'S ALL UNHEALTHY. So, we need to take drastic measures to cope if we're going to be living in eternal pain anyways. So, embrace this sort of... Optimistic Nhilism and just do what makes you happy or better yet attach meaning to "silly insignificant things" and embrace the heck out of it, because it's all we have in this mess of a world.
That's an interesting perspective.
I feel ya. Every time I am on the brink of setting my life up the way I want for pleasure and enjoyment something comes along and destroys all of my hard work. It’s made me want to isolate from the world. I am sitting here sick as a dog as I write this because I bought a van for road trips and it turned out to be full of mold and mildew and being in it made me sick, now I am sensitive to every little smell and fragrance. That’s just the latest in the universe or whatever sidetracking my dreams and goals and friendships and family relationships etc. It’s almost like the only thing I am allowed to do is go to work and sleep. I like your optimistic nihilism though 😅 I’ll have to try that.
Love that.
Easier said than done though.
Thats about how I have decided to deal with living in this cruel world system. I stand tough and say 'F-you' to the system and do my best to enjoy the simple things in life and try not to be too worldly and worry about things. It's as though the system wants us to worry and stress..etc. So I do my best to not give the system what it wants
Benny, you should have a million subs, bro.
He won't
Subbing here requires thinking
That's impossible. People don't like to hear the truth, because most people find it uncomfortable.
And they try to cope even with that saying "people know the truth but dont want to complain about it all the time"
That sentence really means that they really don't know or don't want to know. They just want you to feel bad about yourself because you "complain" even when you speak the truth.
Truth hurts, but i want to know the truth and not live in a lie.
@@lazz419 in my alternate universe, all sentient life eats truth like the archons eat Loosh!
EXISTENCE IS REALLY A LOT OF PAIN MAN FOR NO FUCKING REASON.
@@misc7 actually, it is for a reason. It feeds the archons.
Theres no proof of archons. Its another story like all the others. Humans trying to make sense of existence.
The only comfort I really have in this world, is my ability to reason and think. It's sad that not a lot of people like to think freely and deeply. They get caught up in too much emotion and pride in themselves. I would argue that a lot of people could be just as intelligent as you and I, if they would humble themselves, and be willing to learn. Anyways, this was a great video as always, very stimulating thoughts to consider. Helped me unwind after a day of work.
Emotion and pride as the fundamental folly of modern man. Very well identified, and beautifully said.
True.. but if you were right now chained in a room and left for dead, or tortured .. it would be hard to think your dreams were real, and your awake state is the dream. Because your mind would seem to have no way to escape your situation.. but often during sleep, you can often escape seemingly inescapable situations.
Very good argument
Id call that fate brother
@@Rzc668 fate is scary.
@@privateprivate1865 everything is scary if your that way inclined

I usually walk when I listen to your video, today I tried to not look at people face while I played it, it wasn't easy but it gave a certain vibe.

we've always existed, it just used to be more pleasant than it is now
Curious. What does "we've always existed mean? My reasoning is that there must be a starting point for everything.
@@Obmsavvy There may not be beggining and no end, everything is just eternal nows. That also may apply to "death" so death maybe really not exist/is not real.
Reality is crazy making.
The moment you think youre on the right track, yoill find put either you were dead wrong, or partly wrong.. the minute you get excited and forget how bad life is.. even for a second, your life will turn upside-down.
Its crazy making.
Its one crazy computer simulation from what i can tell
I am therefore I think.
I hate this life and this world and people. There is always something that is annoying as fuck.
Neighbors cutting grass for several hours when you are pissed off and that makes you even more angry, lots of traffic noise etc. It doesent help when i move i have moved 3 times already and now i have a house so im not moving anywhere. This is better than apartments at least no neighbors upstairs or downstairs. Those are just examples of a few annoying things in this life.
I get out of the house everyday to work and going for walks and it does not help i think i also have misofonia.
I have to get like million euros so i can move in the middle of a forest where there is no sounds produced by people and no people in sight. Then i maybe can be at peace, but this scenario is very unlikely to happen. Still a small chance so i play the lottery. I dont give a fuck if someone says that lottery is a scam so dont bother. There is still a chance to win.

Thinking could be just some remote voice we think is ours.
The fundamental truth in my view is that to be AWARE is proof of existence. Without Awareness / Consciousness ... nothing is known, no objects are known, not thoughts, feelings, sights, sounds taste, touch, smells. All phenomena then must, following the logic, be OBJECTS IN the SUBJECT (Non-Physical Aware Space) of Self / Awareness.
We are NO-THING, Not a Thing, therefore we are already free, we just SEE / KNOW phenomena including the Body-Mind as well as the rest of physical existence.
Have a good day, good investigation!

After JCole made it & signed his deal, he saw some shit in the industry that made him go *oh fuck no* , and we hear about that throughout Born Sinner. After that period, that man started only biking around and dressing like a neighborhood hobo... Intentionally wanting to be recognized and recorded in public to protect himself from the reaper after him
"Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

As one gets older one sees more "I should have died" incidents. This can be yourself or others. It's like being alone on a sailboat on the ocean. Something hits your head, and you pass out. You wake up 5 hours later, its night, you think "it may be a dream". You can think about how you got there and why you are on the ocean at night. We are where we are, it's a personal choice to cave or make the best of it. Making the best of it may be the helping of others. It's rare, but sometime someone else can make your day a positive. Then it's back to bed at 10pm.
Try video games, strategy games whatever gives that high .Its very satisfactory
It amazes me how people just don't stop and think everybody knows in the back of their mind what it means to be dead unalive but they don't want to accept the truth I guess it's just easier to believe in lies and delusion then to accept the truth you were already dead once before you were born "After your death you will be what you were before your birth."

Maybe we don't exist maybe we are watching something that never happened from a place beyond. -Sephiroth.
Maybe we are the non existent observing the existent as that is where we are supposedly going.
We're all just killing time with distractions of all kinds, waiting for the inevitable death

@Benedictine .. I'm from Cape Town and that's the norm here to ask strangers for money to make a cigarette, hearing you say it's weird is funny coz that's normal here 😂
How do we know that we are generating our own dreams or even our own thoughts? Whatever our brains are more like receivers? What if we are consciousness that is receiving downloads of some kind? And how do we disconnect that "Wi-Fi" if we no longer want to receive them?
Hello!
That is a scary thought!
Yes, it is very likely that at least not EVERY thought WE have is truly our own thought...we have been brainwashed, influenced and manipulated!
I guess WE should question everything, even EVERY single thought WE have...
The next time you have a thought, ask yourself: "Is that truly my own thought?", "Is this an intrusive thought?", "Would I really think like that/do something like that?"
I believe people don't understand why they are hear, and it causes pain..I believe if we truly understood our existence people would fell happy..but not knowing our true purpose of life is painful. 🧐
If there is a purpose to life, we would all know.
All this is against our will, and whatever is in control (if there's anything in control) has alot to answer if humans ever got a hold of it.
No, I can't choose to not believe in evolution. I can't force myself to not believe in something that is true by the evidence, even if it would make me feel better.
I don't follow your solipsism; we have enough evidence to know certain things about existence. It may not be mathematical / 'logical truth' certainty but we have enough.
If you're feeling depressed try wearing 2 pairs of wool socks to bed for much better sleep quality🟣sounds like overkill but youll be surprised🟥🟠🔵
what will happen?
@@MrHDProd you sweat 😂

Man I want to be truly Evil now. :D
Question After Question. who am I ? why am I hear? whats my true purpose for being hear...I believe if we truly knew our lifes purpose people wouldn't suffer so much.
If we are going by the creationist theory, why did the creator(s) abscond or go into hiding? 😅
@@Obmsavvy Good question..
Where are you ?
@Lizardkiller, I believe he's from South Africa.
@@michaelallen1154 he is in my feed alot. Thought it looked like he might be in Africa. 👍😁
Do you Be lie ve you live on a spinning ball with upside down people,water,airplanes and ships,Yet you don't experience any of it,It seems and is stationary and level,as in water level,earth is 2 thirds water,so they say,peace,always seek truth.
that if you died from getting hit by a car brought back so many things in that moment you said it. yes very random for me to say that, i know lol. good video though
You need to get yourself a metal detector and start checking those creeks for gold my man.Completely off topic ,i know but just a thought.
I will try to be emotioneless, it will be fun for me, but not for you.
i've always thought that all of this bs is a gta simulation with morons in it, that's why nothing ever is convinent here period nobody can says otherwise so.
Yes, we're in a simulation like GTA and Red Dead Revolver
bro aren't you scared of walking around the forest by yourself in africa? A lion could attack you
I know this answer might sound corny, but I feel like Christ can fill the void. Not forcing religion onto anyone, but just giving my two sense.
It's not corny, your right❤
Benny are you employed by the WEF
The world ec0n0mic forum?
If yes, why would they want to use Ben's message?
By the way, you shouldn't follow any other human. Listen and get new ways of thinking and analyse them for yourself.
@@Obmsavvy I did that's why I posited the thought the WEF wants less people on the planet and things that promote nihilism however disguised will work for their goals abortion assisted death etc
@@micgarn3331 Interesting. Thank you for your reply. This is the problem with this world. It's that a group of people with more information than the vast majority, can decide to engineer the future how they want. Although their success is not certain even to them.
@@Obmsavvy thank you

I do know how and why I exist...my parents and for their glory and or own selfish reasons. No middle man it's called Amanda and Jeffery homie.
Yes, but why did humans ever start procreation and why wasn't there a choice for the newborns?
It's not my reality it's my parents and I've yet to make any assumptions
