Academy of Ideas Are the membership videoed different than the content uploaded on TH-cam?
Also, can I help/benefit you? How can I work with/for you? I feel you are a positive impact on the world and I want to join your movement.
What video editor do you use sir?

Its A Nuclear END One Way Or The Other Any Time Now
I think you know more about what is going on in the world than you are letting on.
When my wife died 12 years ago, my friends convinced me I was depressed and needed medication.
Fortunately for me, my doctor was near retirement and from the old school of medicine. He looked at me over his half rim glasses and said "What you are suffering is ordinary sadness. You are grieving. However, I am going to give you a prescription: Stop watching television, do not read newspapers and under no circumstances whatsoever ever listen to the BBC. Do this for two weeks and I guarantee you will feel much better".
He was right. It worked. I highly recommend it.
I wish I’d had a doctor like that..
Plain old common sense.. and what a prescription..!!!
Excellent advice..
It amazes me out insane our society is, as if after the death of a loved one(someone we have spend a large part of our lives with and is essentially a part of us) we are suppose to immediately bounce back and be full of life(specially in an insane world).
TV, news, social media, even the workplace are all psychopathic institutions that peddle insanity. It is hard enough to live in an insane world under normal circumstances for a sane person(insane people have no problem) but add to it the normal negative life events can make it unbearable for some.
Drugs never help, they mask symptoms while creating new problems. You were lucky you had a sane and intelligent doctor. Part of what makes us human and makes us stronger is going through the trials and tribulations of life(hopefully because it's to prepare us for something bigger). Our societies have developed a neurotic "solution" to these problems... make more problems. e.g., if you can't solve one problem(such as the death of a loved one) then hell, maybe you can solve it by creating more problems. What then happens is the most insane of our societies advance to the top with their "solutions to problems" dragging us all further in to oblivion. As things get worse(from their own doing) the solution is to make things even worse in an attempt to mask the original problem... just like the drug, it never works.
If we, as individuals, lead sane lives such as living a full and loving live with other human beings then when someone died it would be far less of a hit to us. We would be able to accept the change because life was fulfilling and the fear of the unknown wasn't constantly beat in to us by those who rape and pillage our minds, souls, and experiences.
Every human knows that eventually the time will come for them, for everyone they know. Death is the most established fact known to man(it is the one thing one can rely on). But when one has a relationship(a sort of chemical bond) and it was not completely fulfilled then there will always be the "what if's" or "I wish I should have" or whatever and the "what will I do now", "am I next", etc. A sane happy society helps alleviate these so they are rather temporary. Distractions work but it has to be of the right kind, not the kind that distract one back in to the same emotional feedback loop.
Humanity has done so many things right but also so many things wrong. Technology/science has excelled but emotional and psychological problems have only grown.
This is an advice you should listen to if you're not actually depressed and not leaving your grieving stage. Coming from the old school of medicine can be very helpful but just remember that we didn't actually know much 50-60 years ago. The area of medicine has developed a lot and sometimes our science is wrong, sometimes doctors are wrong and sometimes there's a monetary incentive too involved.
But overall it is clearly evident that hospitals are saving more lives now than ever before. So while it's healthy being a sceptic, don't lock yourself into thinking something out of spite, nature doesn't care about your feelings and will kill you if you don't try to make rational decisions in time of need.
@@kebabfotoThat was not his point. Medicine has obviously progressed since the past. Depression, however, is a phenomenon which is growing much more rapidly recently. Therefore, some people can confuse natural sadness with depression. Depression, in this case, would be the inability to properly grieve. Medication which would supress the symptoms, would have made it worse. What the overall point is is that we have lose the ability to "grieve" about things. Even simple things. As such, they build up and get worse which causes depression.
So basically, remain busy with rewarding activities and pay no attention to mainstream media 👍🏽
Yes. Activities that build character.
Sounds like a good idea. I'm reading up on liberty promoting ideas and narratives.
You have to find out when the shutdown is over. I never knew it would happen until my roommate told me about it. It keeps getting extended. A new study shows that, in one county, 50 people have the anitbodies for every one person with covid-19 who truly got SICK from it. So, it isn't nearly as deadly as the media says.
Yeah, like restoring an old motorcycle!😎
@@genkiferal7178 Where did you obtain this information, though?
"Never let a good crisis go to waste"
That's a quote for you
Edit: I meant how this argument could be used to justify doing something bad.
And many other things
And said by a member of the blood thirsty tribe that causes most of the problems around the world.

One of the true good channels out there
A goldmine
This is my fav. I've been digging "pursuit of wonder" lately too
Indeed. The writer’s ability to research, sift and collect appropriate gems of wisdom is remarkable. Like certain scriptures, great truths have an innate power to “infect” the mind with transformative healing.
Aye pure gold
Indeed
I challenge everyone to use this time to break bad habits as we have more time to have introspective thoughts and think of the big picture of your own life
Wait. There's a quarantine going on? I thought things seemed oddly quiet out on my walks.
Joking, of course. Though it IS eerie how quiet it is out.
@@SuperMrHiggins actually, i've not been talking to anyone about or listening to anything about the situation, and i'm outside of the city, and if you just don't talk to anyone it's as if it isn't happening. It's strange. I'm just going on with my life as usual
This is exactly what we must do. However, I feel as if many of us will fall deeper in our maladaptive behaviors, and use this time as an excuse to delve further into our comfort zones. I decided to quit smoking marijuana, as a way to gain some mental clarity during such a jarring time.
Suirason Coruscant same here brother. It’s time to break free and embark on this journey of self transformation.
My bad habit was social avoidance.
This crises has calmed me. It has shown a mirror to how I was and am. I am naturally solitary. I always overthink and am paranoid. Now everyone around me is this way and I see it is overuse of brain activity for nothing. Its like I was always preparing for an unknown test and now I am prepared. While everyone was happy in idleness I was in my mind training. These are the fruits of my labor. Nietche would be proud.
That's a good way to put it. Well said. I can relate.
And Nietzsche would be even prouder.
It's a good time for humor! Reward yourself with laughter. It's nice to know we're not alone :)
You should watch Melancholia by Lars Von Trier...
I am!
I see the quarantine as a blessing... To put normal life on pause and have time to focus on myself for a bit. Some people make the best out of it, while others go crazy.
Really the best for introverts.
Stay at home and not make too much contact is standard operation for us.
Bo Shore so agree. As an introvert, I am not upset about it at all. How often do you get to pause and get real about how fast life flies by, especially when you are always busy?
Bo Shore yes as an introvert it is OK for me but I worry about our civil liberties.
It can be a blessing...if you are someone who doesn't have to worry about their basic needs being met.

Weightlifting, journaling, reading, appreciating art, improving my wardrobe. These are the things I have been doing
I spent two years in a self isolation due to a very severe depression. I am sure I flirted with psychosis. Now that I have finally started to make the steps to be out in the world again, I have to isolate myself again due to the pandemic. It was soul crushing at the beginning but I have been handling it much better this time, not feeling hopeless. Voluntary self isolation due to depression is the darkest place you could ever be and I hope never returning to that again.
I’m glad you made it out man. I’m trying to get out of this voluntary isolated place but it’s hard especially with this corona thing. I hope you keep with your mental strength and keep pushing to get better. You can do this man.
Me, too.
You voluntarily return to self isolation but when you do it is to rebuild.
You are so in love with yourself you know that reading, and crafting yourself is more important then hanging with people who are not.
Me too
Titan Mellor well said 🙂
There is a famous poem that has helped me through difficult times, and it contains the phrase "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you...".
This channel is where I finally learned to humanize myself as well as others. Everyone goes through their ups and downs; everyone has fears; everyone gets nervous. No one will ever be 100% happy and will have days where they feel like crap. I've learned not to be so hard on myself when experiencing these emotions and not to associate them as negative emotions.
During the last couple years I've stopped having depressive episodes but I now have weird as fuck bursts of hilarity and adrenaline at random.
I appreciate your artistic tastes when it comes to selecting the beautiful paintings arranged throughout your videos.
what's the painting in the thumbnail (boat approaching island) - Nevermind I found it - Isle of the Dead :)
Multiverse of Madness would’ve ended a lot sooner if Wong showed the sorcerers this video
I have DID (dissociative identity disorder) and mostly struggle with agoraphobia, pretty much conquered depression so far haven't been able to find even one therapist that is capable of treating me. This was was on target and sort of explains why I have the disorders I do. I don't leave my home much, but I have more hobbies than I could even list here. Hopelessness was conquered by finding my identity in Christ. Which allows me to actually turn off the fear and the burdens because I know he's got this and He is the definition of Hope. we really liked the art you used.
"There's 2 types of pain in this world. Pain that hurts, and pain that alters." - Denzel Washington
I appreciate you getting a bit more gritty, but with your style of elegance. Go deeper brotha! You have an audience and the capability to be a serious light in our time!

This voice is Saving my life in every stage of depression I go through throughout years.
Geetesh Meena i believe people don’t take health and it’s contribution to our mental problems serious enough. 80% of the population is magnesium deficient , 42% of our bodies enzymes are magnesium dependent . Magnesium is a stress reliever . See my point , this is just one small factor !
@@CruzWithMe Very strange way to make a point. I think you should have just said vitamin and nutrient deficient due to the modern diet
Nicholas Miranda yea that’s true , I just wanted to give a more specific example . Mg. is a stress reliever, most of us here have anxiety or depression(stress) , it can help tremendously.
Nicholas Miranda listen to on podcast Matt Blackburn “ where magnesium Fits into the puzzle with Morley Robbins “
Check him out on IG , and website
Excercise & meditation can help in difficult times.
- Don't stress about things that are out of your control
- Eat good, exercise good and sleep good to boost your physical and mental health
Change what you can.
Brace for what you cannot.
Its the shit thats in my control, but is difficult that stress me out
@@quentinsummers2531 I feel you. A lot of the stuff that can be taken care of has been getting hammered due to the Covid outbreak.
A lot of places and utilities get taken away or aren't up to speed.
It's definitely rough for a lot of people right now.
@@Zayindjejfj totally. Believe it or not, i actually miss going to school at half seven in the morning.We need face to face contact with teachers. I dont know what to do half of the time with all these bloody assignments. People forget how much direct communication is important.
I can’t workout. My gym and the sport I participate in are shut down.. maybe for months. I have had to take up running and doing different exercises in my apartment for survival. I am starting to like running 2 weeks in, but it’s very hard to train for a completely different athletic event.
I really needed this reminder as they begin to implement a vaxx pass where I live. I've spent 10 days living in what felt like utter despair, fear, and anxiety but now I'm done. Thank you for making such wonderful videos. You have no idea how helpful they are :)
I know how you feel. Same crap here too. I have some highs and some lows for sure.
@@cassouwassou7364 Stay strong. We'll all get through this together :)
This arrow hit close to heart. Not with the current chaos but as a reminder of previous psychosis and cognitive distortions that I survived as if it were a roadmap home or the wisdom to face hell within and build mastery. Thank you!
It took 3 years to get back and another 3 years to fully understand the gifts that lie beyond. Fortune favors the bold
I can't like this video enough. Thank you for being there in this time of great need when so many are wading hopelessly lost in a sea of misinformation. You reach across that sea in darkness and give light to the lost a steady and reassuring beacon of hope. May you be forever praised by the gods both big and small.
ive been focused on working out and fixing my posture in this quarantine.......if you use this free time its like gold
Alireza Jamali I’ve been doing the exact same!
Great video. I'm making the most of this enforced downtime. I've picked up the violin again and made more progress in the past week than I ever thought possible. I'm reading Jung, working out, creating things... We must focus on what we can change and channel our energy towards that, and with some luck, we will emerge stronger and more resilient.
No good things were ever easy. Use this trying time to strengthen and build your character! You're going to need it now more than ever
Richard Bach?! I remember reading him. He also said: "argue for your limitations, and they are yours to keep"
Another great topic! Thanks
I'm glad I have art as my passion. It seems creative activities are some of the best things one can partake in for a healthy mind.
I 100% agree man I feel like I’d be crazy and lost without my music
Agree!
When learning about the truth of the world or recieving bad news (like the media demonizing half the population for their views or news of victims of war games around the world) I'm susceptible to going Black Pilled and Doomer; I'm a defeatist. This channel (and especially this video) gives me hope and reminds me that I have to move forward.
I am broke and lost all the means of income; I also lost the internship I got; The friend I used to talk with when stressed is ghosting me for reasons unknown; I've failed and banned for 2 years for Actuarial exams because I shared an assignment with someone (The guy whom I shared assignment with was given a pass! Also first time I'm involved in sharing stuff). These are surely tough times.
Even the activities (described in this video) which helped me get out of the grind (Gym, Cricket etc.) have closed down. I've fallen in a state of GAD, I have absolutely no one as I live in a country that is not my own. Also, the people here are Machiavellian and Selfish (A stark contrast to my Undergrad college).
I will now start working towards the *Breakthrough* , Academy of Ideas videos always give me a certain calm!
i really hope things get better for you richie.
@Andrew Cummings Am really sorry.God is still faithful.
Don't Give up.
so far i've hiked about 30 miles and put almost all my relationships on hold. also using the time to record demos for my goth death metal rock opera.
I can't stress enough how much I needed this video at this moment and I am commenting this before watching the video. I know for sure this will relax me ,calm my wandering mind and will give me some clarity of this situation.
Don't forget to take action. The video has - as the uploader's videos always do - good tips on how to better your life and mind. Things like meditation, exercise, journaling and good diet done consistently will improve the quality of one's everyday life more than one could imagine. I wish the best for you and everyone who might be reading this. You're tougher than you think! Oh and thanks for the excellent video.
Did it?
@@Aryan-qv8hz it surely helped and so did many other sources on internet catering optimism. I am trying to not focus on negative news as I can't do anything other than to remain where I am. I am trying to be productive and surprising succeeding in it.
@@level-me7it alright man. These lines always cheers me on "death is not the end" and "life is not what it seems to be"
I did NOT allow my quarantine period to go to waste! I am a writer, and would like to my book on the shelves of bookstores someday. Before quarantine, I hardly had written anything. I wrote daily, sometimes for hours on end. I also engaged in other literary pursuits. I embarked on a self improvement journey, which provided me with resources and time to grow and to discard old, unhealthy habits. Isolation is hard, but I got through it. I also found this channel during that time.
You speak absolute truth. I can't praise this video enough. I found crochet to be incredible for calming the mind and nervous system. I suffered pyschosis several years ago so my mental health is my top priority right now.
I'm a borderline, I have zero worries about losing my sense of self, never had one to lose!😜
Can't tell you how much I needed to hear this right now.
Anxiety and depression as well as subtle hints of psychosis started creeping their way into my life recently, after not having any experience with them in around 8 years. This had started a couple months before this whole pandemic, but was exacerbated by it obviously. I think a fast is in order. From everything, from the world. Luckily, I am self employed and have the ability to put everything on hold if need be. And right now, it needs be. To those suffering from anything similar, the advice this video gives is your way out. Take a step back, stop for a moment, catch your breath, and refocus. This too will pass.
This is gonna be a banger
Susco || It is indeed a banger
Confirmed, it was a banger
And bang it has !!

Brilliant insight to skills we all need to develop in these dark days. However, most people's lives have been so predictably safe, boring and "normal" up until this crisis that they have no idea what's happening around them or to them, so it's just a fight to stay sain, and some will loose that fight. A fortified mind is like a fortified immune system, it needs to be exposed to adverse conditions to become strong and resilient.
No doubts that passivity is the big enemy at this moment of quarantine. At least take notes about what to do is a good start, but action is the best tool
“The meaning in life is to be found in the undertaking of the largest burden you can bear.” -Jordan Peterson
I love how this channel combines scholarly-like essays with timely real world and self application. Otherwise I would be left to wonder What Would Jung Do?
Sometimes is from crisis and difficulties one goes through that one creates or discovers amazing things. Our society tries to makes us believe that the objective of life is to minimize suffering and challenges and that makes us weak and lazy. I won’t suggest enjoying the suffering, but deeply analyzing it and reasoning when going through it is already a great start.
One of the great blessings that i have found was to be of service to others. Tried and true act thru the ages, and more fulfilling than much of what i do daily. The thought came to me from something i read once, '..sometimes you have to tear something down, to build it back up better..'
This is realy helpful, i lost my dad who i was very close to 3 weeks ago, then 2 weeks later my work announced a restructure. Im lucky ive been into these kinda topics for a long time so ive been managing to see my reactions to the situations going on and process them and my reaction in a positive way. If i hadnt got into psychology and working on myself and talking to people about it, i would have broken down. My mum has had psychosis for years so that is something i really dont want to end up with. Having a 1 year old makes it particularly hard to take that rest time or the creative time i need though. Its damn taxing
I tend to get recommendations to your videos at the right time. 2020 is shaping up to be an interesting year for me. I had quit drinking just as the coronavirus arrived on our shores and I have been sober six weeks.
The People's Republic of California is not as restrictive as it appears to be during the quarantine so I will spend this time off developing the habit of exercising at a nearby park. I also have time enough at last to finally read Joseph Campbell's "The Hero's Journey." I have learned from three episodes of the Twilight Zone that time is valuable capital and should not be wasted; I will not despair over my vision since my glasses are made of a sturdy material.
I have seen every film and television program so my relationship with most electronic entertainment has come to an end. I am thankful for the Nintendo Switch being sold out so I do not clutter my home. I have not owned a television in seven years and I do not miss the glowing beast.
I have plenty of time to think so I will try to develop healthy habits and see if there is anything I can do expand my mind. If anyone reads my post please comment with suggestions.
This particular video is full of so much insightful, revealing, and transformative knowledge and wisdom it's hard to grasp that it was only communicated in less than 10 minutes. Keep up the good work as your efforts ripple through countries, and worlds, and generations.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste."
I'm going to start trading all the toilet paper I have hoarded for real estate.
What is sanity in a world where crazy is admired, encouraged and promoted.
Fear, anger, worry and anxiety will not change any problems.
But our minds think it will.
So, the struggle for peace is inside our minds.
I quit caffeine and social media during this crisis. Also got over an ex of almost 4 years that broke up with me a few months prior to the quarantine. This crisis has been a blessing in disguise. Keep on keeping on.
I still drink caffine (I honestly don't think it really affects me much unless I'm just plain exhausted anyway), but apart from using Facebook Messenger for casual conversations with close personal friends and using TH-cam which may or may not count as social media, I've almost completely stopped using my main socials (though mostly Facebook) that often brought a lot of unnecessary stress into my life. Not that I'm now free of stress, but I've gotten rid of a major outlet for it that was completely unnecessary and self-imposed, and I think my life is also better because of it.
How I wish I'd seen the video sooner but how happy I am to have found it at all. More than 1.5 years since our first lockdown, I'm now trying build a life that I can be comfortable in. Things have been really awful for me (psychologically) but I'm also a new and improved person now, strangely, thanks to all the sh*t that's been going on.
I cannot thank you enough for this channel. This video alone put into perspective over a decade of behavioral patterns of which I couldn't pin the origins. This is brilliant.
This channel is my jam.
I’m glad you brothas found it as well.
That last quote is perfect. Also, meditation helps a lot. Highly recommend it.
Yes! I love your attitude. And the fear porn is very bad for morale. I get caught up in it sometimes and I know that it hurts me. I have learned to bake bread, re-purpose everything in my kitchen for food of some kind. I am baking things and starting a good compost heap for my garden I will start when the rains subside. It is good to keep oneself busy and moving. But the very first and most important thing I have been doing is praying and reading and studying my Bible. Thank you for your inspiring video friend
Sounds like you have serious issues.
I hope you are doing very well today. Don't take the jab
This is the most up-front, honest, positive vid iv seen since this corona began. Thank you for actually helping people.
One of my favourite channels. I always learn something from here.
1st
I tell my self:
What kind of person I want to become?
Then I must do
What I have to do.
I must build up my life action by action;
And be content if each action achieves its goal as far as possible-and nothing can keep this from happening,
Except death.
Concentrate on what I have to do right now and remind my self that my task is to be an individual.
Love to all quarantined people
This was profound and I’m grateful to you, sir! There’s not one of us who isn’t suffering from this diabolical attack right now and these suggestions are very good. I would add that if demons are attacking, an equal force will be needed to stave them off, if not defeat them. I’m afraid taking up hobbies isn’t quite going to cut it. As a Catholic, I have all the heavenly forces, the Church and the sacraments at my disposal!
1. Recentralize through something
2. Work on renewing values
3. Calm your mind; dont listen to news, dont let fear take over
I just want to quote the entire video... STRAIGHT gold. And so relevant. Thank you.
I received the word fortitude the other day ...so to see fortify this message speaks volumes.
Spot on describing the means & ways of my enemies….. The intro done right, spot on! Good work son! Keep It UP!
Well done. I have been advocating for years to people how important it is to relax and to take on a hobby for relaxation and as a confidence booster.
OH MY GOD I *NEED* TO WATCH THE NEXT VIDEO. This one gave me a sense of clarity and relativity that sums up in hope. I need to translate this hope into a relevant change in my behaviour as I felt too useless these months.... Thank you for your outstanding and useful work! I'm looking forward to seeing the next video!
Greetings from a Romanian in Italy
there is no going back. everything has changed and if it has not it will eventually have to change.
Thank you ! One of the best chanels on TH-cam. Your membership contents is great as well ! Thank you, one more time !
I live out in the Sticks where any problems I receive from society, are healed
So grateful that each episode you release is atuned to what is happening in the world around us. Truly a beacon in dark days...
Listening to this on 4-4-23 and it feels even more relevant. It feels like the crazy times are just getting started. If we made it this far…we’ll get through it.
This is a succinct analysis of how certain mental illnesses can arise out of circumstances beyond personal control. Nicely done.
This is one of the best channels available on youtube. I really benefits by watching it. Thanks guys , geate work !!!
I need to say that I love this channell! Each video makes me think profoundly... Thank you very much!
I feel like I'm on some sort of emotional comma and I can see many people feel the same way. It's a time to surrender and trust our resilience, hopefully the storm will pass sooner than we think.
Wim hof method is good for hormone regulation
Thanks boys, a valuable warning not to get swept away by the media storm.
Thank you. I almost left after 1/4 of your speech, but stuck with it and was glad I did. I have Manic Depression & bipolar and have been taking meds for it for 27 years. This media-political shit fest, corporate designed freedom removal tool ( Pandemic) all this has taken me close to the hospital or jail again. I think I have to step back from it all, and stop trying to wake sheeple up, and just let the chips fall where they may. Time to get out my tent, fishing rod and tackle....and make catching a trout for lunch my only concern.
As always: Thought provoking, interesting and enterainting. Thanks for taking the time putt ing those videos together!
I really needed this. Thank you so much. The work you guys are doing is unbelievably sophisticated and meaningful. More power and resilience to you!
I am so extremely grateful for the work you put into your content!
Best videos on TH-cam, love this channel.
thanks ! i really love the paintings you put on all yours videos, i am a painter and love the way you conect the images with the content of your videos. its so good.
I was already lonely before, now the virus has taken away what little I had. I'm really glad one of my favourite channels has done a video on it.
i feel as though my previous loneliness has made me 'ready-for-this',..i hope you find the strength you solo-tude can bring.
Thank you for this. IDK how much I can get out of this, but still. I can't do any proper work at home. In fact, about 2 years back, it took me a lot of time to find a proper environment to study in, as home was hell. A few years back I had terrible terrible fights at home with parents almost every day for a long time due to medical reasons(they wanted me to take alternative medicine and I refused) and now I can't really function at home properly. Not only distractions, but I just feel terrbile at home all the time. Only thing I am able to do right now is to just waste time away. And when I do any work, I can do it for 2 or 3 hours tops and then I just cant anymore, get very distracted and often depressed. So the solution was to get away and do the work elsewhere, which worked WONDERS! I mean it made me believe in myself and I was able to actually do something for myself for the first time in my life. I was able to make baby steps at becoming a mathematician.
So I was able to restart my life due to being able to do the work in the library and on campus, but now I am quarantined at home. I have been trying to work hard, stay active and exercise for weeks now, but couldln't and already fell ridicolously behind. The UNI acts like nothing happened and gives us just as much work as always, but those of us that are almost completely reliant on going away from home to work, are having a really hard time now. Believe it or not, that is a LOT of us. All the people being like "oh now you have so much time!", yeah if you have a normal job, but UNIs are like nope you do your work from home... Not to mention that online classes are NOT the same as real classes.
I keep trying and won't give up, but now Im weeks behind in some classes and at least a bit behind in all classes. Therefore I'm scared of failing this year. Now if you are in some place like US, failing isn't anything but having to pay another year of tuition, but here things don't work that way. I have free UNI, so if I fail, I am out! Which means that I will have to get a job, which will be impossible with my education. Also I LOVE math and I am giving it my all to master it, but this situation is ruining everying. Last year I only had 2 weeks of vacation, so that I could study more and it paid off and I have a solid 9.4 out of 10 "GPA", but Im scared of failing now, cuz of the terrible situation. So tbh I'm honestly thinking of ending it all if I fail this year, as I can't burden my parents either.
Just wanted to vent a little. Call me edgy, call me emo, call me whatever, IDC. Have a nice day everyone and stay safe.
You should listen to your parents regarding the alt meds, allopathic medicine doesnt give a f*ck about you, its all about keeping you on the precipace of functional (idk if you can even call it that) just so they can reap the cash... most western doctors wouldnt dare give their own children anything they prescribe... Our society creates our problems via lifestyle and presents a "solution" all to keep the insane circus running... My wholehearted opinion without knowing you... Turn to God - genuinely and seriously.... Faith is the Key to Serenity.. no drugs, no garbage.. Genuine Faith has been on a steady decline over the generations while "Mental Illness" and "insanity" is on the steady incline... May You Find The Holy Spirit within you, Shalom, From one to another.
I took my time to read that =)
I really am grateful for these podcasts.
Lol I been in breakdown of despair and depression for years, but I'm trying to turn it into a breakthrough. At least I'm in reality so I'm not gonna have a psychotic break anytime soon lmao
Jus let go what u cant control.. u got this👍🏾
Genuine Faith has been on a steady decline over last few generations all while "Mental Illness" and "Insanity" has been on a steady incline.. Turn to God - Shalom - From one to another.

Thank you for your structured compilation and narration.
I´m sooo relieved you guys finally showed up
Precisely how I feel today, atomized and separated. Luckily I have been able to focus on my self and am used to being alone for long swaths of time. Only recently month six, have I begun to feel the weight of the pandemic, 4 months is my max for being a hermit 🤣 at least for now. Thank for your videos! I appreciate your work 😊
Such a great video! Thank you so much.
"What a caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly"
In fact, it was known few years ago that a butterfly retains memories from its caterpillar phase. And the lessons it learned can mold his behavior to increase its changes to survive as a butterfly.

Your videos are so well made, and your voice is really pleasant to listen to! Thank you =)
