*“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.”* - Fyodor Dostoevsky Your work never ceases to amaze me. I love working together with you. Well done!
But EVERY human will experience pain and suffering. It's part of life. The death of a loved one alone causes pain and suffering for most. So...yeah..don't agree.
When I read Dosteveskys novels I was living on a sort of communal farm, in a tent, waking with the sun, working with crops and horses all day. At night I'd build a fire and relax with Feodor. I was in my mid thirties and had just before this gone through the worst trauma of my life. I was drawn to those days and read book after book almost addictively and didn't know why, but now decades later I'm sure it was the first step and an extremely long road to rebuilding myself to humanity. Dosteveskys works did what no self-help book could ever do
Dostoevsky's writing is some of the deepest, most profound insight I've ever discovered. Thank you Eternalised for bringing these insights to life. Adding art to this presentation has been a great learning experience. I hope you all enjoy.
Your channel is amazing. I’m a dumb pipefitter and I find it so educational and try to introduce this to people but not one person I’ve done so to was amazed as I. It’s an interesting thought process trying to decipher why that is exactly
"What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.” has to be one of the most mindblowing quotes I've ever come across in my live, but this genious wrote many more of them!
No, its worse going through life being capable of love but never receiving it back from others. I've never experienced unconditional love. I've never experienced deep intimacy. It hurts really bad. Every time I try, I end up further solidifying my belief that love actually isnt real and its just an idea. I've only witnessed love on screens, never in reality.
@@JLydeckaThere’s no such thing as unconditional love. Not one person on this earth will love you without conditions. You can give that to yourself though. Through daily meditations on self forgiveness and gratitude. Sounds easy but it’s not. Just start there.
@@JLydeckaJudgement is a rough act. Since we all are presented with a frailty within ourselves, we can rest assure, that everyone we deal with has that glitch. Once you realize that, it is much easier to enjoy and more importantly, be at peace within any relationship. Doesn't matter how long or how short it is. What is, is fully embracing it all as enough. It is the only thing that maintains the ability yo move forward and engage in it agsin. I know this, because I have lost many a loved one, to death. I no longer grieve incessantly, instead, I celebrate and are very grateful for the time I was able to share with them. I consider it more of a celebration of their life over their demise. Once you drop YOUR own conditions, you will not feel as you do. Be blessed.
" The world says: "You have needs -- satisfy them. You have as much right as the rich and the mighty. Don't hesitate to satisfy your needs; indeed, expand your needs and demand more." This is the worldly doctrine of today. And they believe that this is freedom. The result for the rich is isolation and suicide, for the poor, envy and murder " Fyodor Dostoevsky, Brothers Karamazov
Nonsense. Like many I have known poverty and material comfort and the latter is infinitely preferable. Only those with wealth can indulge in a fantasy that to be poor is somehow more spiritual.
@algie-t2w I think you didn't understand the quote as it says that the problem is with the new world ideology of consumerism which makes everyone miserable, besides I'm no rich man my friend
My family is from Russia and my mom told me (which I agree) , that every person should read at least crime and punishment . And I’d say read the idiot too . Great timeless books
I used to think of myself as a writer (at least an aspiring one)-even got a degree in creative writing. I haven't written since reading Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karomazov. Dostoevsky made me wonder why anyone writes anymore. He's explored every facet of the human experience so perfectly that almost everything else reads as mediocre or cliche-especially my own writing. 🤣
Notes from the underground is a hard book to read that's impossible to put down. In the most reviling parts of the character you find a familiarity you wish to bury at once. It churns the muck of the soul and, if one gives himself to repentance, can bring about a deep soul cleansing.
BRILLIANT! I love Dostoyevsky. I’ve always felt that if you want to understand the great cataclysmic events of the 20th century (and also the 21st) you must read Dostoyevsky.
A genius who figured out a lot about himself and the human connection to what is beyond our physically perceived reality. It really says a lot about his journey and experience with what he had to face to conclude his rational thoughts in explaining the cause of human suffering and why there is a constant threat of degradation amongst humanity and its societies as a whole. Truly a remarkable person who deserves high recognition and admiration towards his contributions with his life’s works
If I have your perspective in proper context I firmly believe 'the reason for our ... personal and societal decay' is because we are Born, given birth into a system of ever-changing competition and decay. It's more than a threat. I won't belabor it with examples. But everything secular is what? Turns to shit. The value Our Creator gives us to contend with this decay that keeps us living 'under the floor boards" is escape.
When we were younger---in college--we read the novels of Dostoyevsky, but NEVER KNEW A THING ABOUT HIS PERSONAL LIFE STORY. Just his writings. This is the miracle of the Internet, and shows like this. We learn something about THE HUMAN BEING that created the great works of art.
I’m an underground man. I didn’t know there was a term for it with such precise and accurate qualities. Thanks for the education. Been with y’all for years and this is one of the best TH-cam channels ever to Grace us on this entire platforms history.
I've heard people online talk about Dostoevsky, but this has really given me an idea of how he was so great. I'm going to read his novels because of this video. Thank you.
I had no idea that someone not only shared exactly but also left a record of his skillfully exploration of my inner turmoils, and he did it long before I was born. I am blown away how much I relate to everything that Dostoyevsky describes in the works quoted here. I'm excited to have a new author with such personally relatable content to consume. Goodness knows I probably wouldn't have found content like this authored in this century.
Crime and Punishment is something I think everyone should read. The culture is eerily similar to today and really does share some wisdom that many don’t understand.
It takes courage to read Dostoyevsky. He will show you things you never wanted to see, and teach you things you never wanted to know. You will never be able to look at the world the way you used to. This man introduced me to myself, and then to God.
the quote i relate to the most by dostoyevsky is "the more i love humanity in general, the less i love man in particular" although it also goes the other way 'round for me sometimes. but, you can hate something and still love it, in my case its mankind.
His mind and heart were flooded with extraordinary light; all torment, all doubt, all anxieties were relieved at once, resolved in a kind of lofty calm, full of serene, harmonious joy and hope, full of understanding and the knowledge of the ultimate cause of things.
Jesus that was intense. I certainly see parts of myself in the characters depicted in his writings. It makes me very grateful for my faith in god and a higher power. This video should serve as a recourse for anyone feeling holier than thou
lol this is exactly what I was referring to w my comment. Anyone feeling holier than thou? Coming from someone who claims wow this makes me realize how fortunate I am that I “believe” in something like God. 😂 You are confused amigo
@@kylebushnell2601The Bible says no one is good. Only God is good. Strangely by your insulting and condescending comment you’re a perfect example of this video you’re watching. Without God humanity will inevitably fall into depravity. Your human response was to be condescending and insulting to someone who was just expressing themselves. This is just preview of what rejecting God looks like and when it is fully manifested turns into the unimaginable atrocities in history mentioned in this video. The idea that every human was made in the image of God, is valuable and deserves to be treated with dignity is one of the foundational messages of the Bible. When you turn away from God you begin down a slippery slope towards full depravity.
"If there is anything you should know about communism, it is this: No matter how noble your intentions are, no matter what you do, you will end up with tyranny." - Dostoyevsky
If there's no God, the powerful imposes their arbitrary morality on the weak. If there is God, the powerful imposes their arbitrary god on the weak. The same result.
The core belief of communism is that group disparities are the result of oppression or exploitation. So naturally, communists use the existence of group disparities as evidence of oppression or exploitation. And any group disparities observed after exploiters and oppressors are subjugated just means that the communists need to do even more subjugating. This is the most impressive positive feedback loop of destruction ever dreamt up by man.
@@deleted01If there is God, we are all pieces of the divine, with no need to follow the ideas of others or subjugate ourselves with false identities. Arbitrary gods are only ideas, but God is found only within, through direct experience.
Dostoevsky is maybe my favorite writer of all time ..I found his work at the perfect time in my life, and I have returned to his work at times over the years. The ultimate psychologist of the human condition
Quite the struggle, awakening, and conviction. Of course, he went down those dark roads, whether by his choice or others. That he wrote so honestly, transparently, and through shame in later life is why I respect him.
Stunning. Astonishing. Excrucifying. Yes, I had to make up a word just for this video. Now please excuse me while I go tidy up, my head seems to have exploded.
What does "infinitely great" mean? What you think is great, I might think is evil. And infinite means endless. We are not infinite beings. We are finite and limited. How does an infinitely great person act?
@@JLydecka I can't speak for ReynaSingh, but I would say that what you are talking about is based on physical perception. "Great" does not mean "good" but "large" or "expansive." Our minds and bodies are not infinite, but as the original comment says, the infinitely great is present *in* every person. I take this to mean that behind every 'mask' (persona, person) is an "I" that is the same "I" you experience within your own persona. This "I" is the infinitely great, the consciousness that has no beginning or end, which seeks to grow beyond all boundaries and limitations.
Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for the loving efforts you have put into making this video. While Dostoyevsky's words are truly deeply though-provoking, your artistic presentation and your voice made the message go deeper. Love your way.
This video was suggested to me after watching Albert Pikes letter, describing how to initiate three world wars to destroy all faith and leave the world in eternal aethism. Watching this Today, as the world is going through so much, it really gets to me. I will definetley pick up some of his litterature, including the idiot. Thank you as always !
Listening to the passages from Notes from the Underground, I was regularly thinking about my time as a pariah in my school years. by the time I was 16, friendless, spiteful and fearful of my peers and family, loosing myself in my fantasy novels, I, really could relate to that sense of reasoning yourself into something better then you were, as you chose to wallow in your misery and hate. It's, interesting in seeing your past brought back to you like that. I'm glad I found my peace a few years ago now, as long as it may have taken, but i wouldn't change a thing about my past.
This is dead on at what I've pretty much been experiencing in life and the realizations I arrived at about them. When I learned about these works and the ideas contained in them I was honestly a little angry that I wasn't exposed to them sooner. I listened to a coworker the other day reveal to me the pettiest of details about some Grateful Dead trivia and thought that's a great reflection of what I was raised to value as well. My philosophers and existential idols were rockstars and Star Wars characters. I thought how sad it was my education had failed me so much that I'm just discovering this material at age 43. Great minds have already worked out this stuff that I had to figure out on my own. It did give me great comfort and validation to learn about these works and the conclusions arrived at.
Well, I believe we have to experience it on our own. I'm grateful to be finding these works and great minds while I'm in my early 20s. But a year ago when I was in my deepest depression, and my life was at its worst in the material sense and personally: I tried learning about some of these philosophers and their teaching and it just...didn't click. I realize now I wasn't prepared for or in the place to accept the information. All our journeys are different, but it's the understanding that we all must experience our journey nonetheless that unites us. Moreover the understanding that our suffering and learning may be unique, but the suffering itself is not. This is what bring us together and shows us a path to graceful acceptance and love for one another, I believe. Fellow sufferers enduring an uncertain and painful world where we must transform individually first, then connect to others with our own knowledge and understanding. With love, with grace, with empathy.
Definitely and it also brings into a view many may have at some point: the greatest of advice falls short upon a man engulfed in war. Internal or external. @BallBatteryReligion
@@deadspoonxxx damn I forgot I even left this comment lol. I think you're right though, and that's a good way of contextualizing my struggles and a new lens for viewing others, I appreciate that. Funny enough your comment reminded me of a man I work with whom I've been talking to and learning more about. He's a retired marine, multiple tours in Iraq, extensive combat experience. Permanent injuries he got in Iraq like a rod in his leg. He's 38-40, still in great shape, charismatic and funny as hell but he's sharp and still a formidable and dangerous man. He's got some... interesting beliefs. One of which I've never heard anywhere else. I simply asked him one night, after a long conversation about multiple topics if he believed in a god. He said "yes, but my beliefs are...a little different." He went on to say something like: "when I was in Iraq, at war: I was doing things that god wouldn't like. So why would I pray to him? That'd be stupid. It's war, I was breaking his rules. Satan on the other hand...he might be more open to helping me. He has power too." I appreciate that he didn't explicitly say anything like "what I had to do" or try to justify or paint himself as heroic. He strikes me as more humble/objective than that. That's not word for word exactly what he said, but he also expressed something like "war is no place for god." He went on to say something like: "now that the war is over and I'm in a time of peace: I can talk to God again." Credit where it's due...I've never heard anything like that before. And I find it very intriguing.
This is absolutely superb. The quality of these videos are fantastic, to such an extent of inspiration and restoration that can only come about through what some may call Divine miracle. Thank you for sharing these works. Thank you for your painstaking efforts to put details into details in which many of us will gloss over, but some truely come to appreciation with awe. May the search for the Unity between God & our sinner Self continue to be brought to light, so that we turn from our Sin unto the pure and divine Love allowed through Jesus Christ. I love you. I love you, because I wish also to love my Self. I wish to Love my Self, so that I also may be loved by You. I love God for these same reasonings. May all things come to pass as the depths of our inner mind come to heal, knowing the truth of our creation- through our Creator.
Everytime you think "everyone else is doing so it's ok", you let your morals go. No one is perfect all you can do is strive to be a better man or woman
Dostoevsky's insight ✍🏼cuts close to the bone. ☦️ More than once 🪓 I've had to set his books down because he was talking 🫣 right inside my skull..... ......a furnace! 🌐✨🃏🔪 🌾🍇🕊️ Honesty, humility and hope from the epileptic convict gambler.♠️⛓️🔥 O'Lord, have mercy on your servant Fyodor. ♥️ Most Holy Theotokos save us..... ....forgive me, the sinner. 🚬 🛣️
WOW! SO GOOD! Thank you so much! I learned a lot about Dosteoevsky and other philosophers you mentioned from Jordan Peterson. This helps me understand him a little better! I constantly struggle with the reason why God allows so much suffering in this world to continue on for so long. Though I won't ever fully understand (because I'm not God) this at least brings me a bit closer to a better understanding. It makes sense that Israel means to struggle or wrestle with God.
Does God allow some things and not others? Is suffering inherently bad? How should God intervene to prevent prolonged suffering? How do you know this isn't already happening?
Trying to be something you are not will destroy you, unless you realize you are playing at a game and that being a thing means you can be all things and that authenticity is only those things from which you've been bound to by fate. All things like you will rejoice in your return.
Brilliant video, it really intrigues me to look over Dostoevsky's work deeply, for its profound and deep thinking for the psychological hell for especially, a highly intelligent person might fall into.
The narratives are always great here… always inviting a diverse set of ideas… brilliant minds… and the drawings are just perfect… hand in hand with the stories… the drawings are such an amazing story in themselves…😊
there is no difference between thinking about yourself constantly and being miserable..... thanks for the video it is the best so far we need more content on social media like this
Ode to Dostoevsky. I've experienced those few moments before certain death by evil men who were so creative in their psychological warfare against me- long ago. The torment of my genius is relieved when I create or share my experiences, so I do consciously dedicate the resonance of my heart to the experience of that moment before death as an Ode to Dostoevsky in this moment and time. Thank you.
Imprisonment and torture to be to the point, in that same fashion my abuser brought both my mind and body to the brink of death throughout the time I was about 15 to 19/20 yrs old. Statutory rape that family didn’t step in on so I was in the hands of the father of my child who was quite abused himself his whole life, so went the cycle. It is now broken.
"Just a single man, Fyodor Dostoevsky, is enough to defeat all the creative novelists of the world. If one has to decide on 10 great novels in all the languages of the world, one will have to choose at least 3 novels of Dostoevsky in those 10. Dostoevsky’s insight into human beings and their problems is greater than your so-called psychoanalysts, and there are moments where he reaches the heights of great mystics. His book BROTHERS KARAMAZOV is so great in its insights that no BIBLE or KORAN or GITA comes close. In another masterpiece of Dostoevsky, THE IDIOT, the main character is called ‘idiot’ by the people because they can’t understand his simplicity, his humbleness, his purity, his trust, his love. You can cheat him, you can deceive him, and he will still trust you. He is really one of the most beautiful characters ever created by any novelist. The idiot is a sage. The novel could just as well have been called THE SAGE. Dostoevsky’s idiot is not an idiot; he is one of the sanest men amongst an insane humanity. If you can become the idiot of Fyodor Dostoevsky, it is perfectly beautiful. It is better than being cunning priest or politician. Humbleness has such a blessing. Simplicity has such benediction."
The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment are probably the best two books you'll ever read about the human condition. Crime and Punishment is often cited as his magnum opus but in my opinion it is The Brothers Karamazov, an utterly sublime novel that will change the way you look at life and should be essential reading for everyone.
Dostoevsky is that guy that's already explored the whole Minecraft map in game and came to tell you there's not much there, certainly no utopia. Dude really sorta kills the mood. I guess it saves me the trouble though.
W.O.W! This is brilliant. This goes against the ideas of Darwin, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Freud, etc. Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, the great Eastern philosopher and poet from Pakistan, had his ideology centered around the same idea as that of Dostoevsky - belief in ego and faith in God. Hope you could cover him as well in one of your future videos. Brilliant stuff. Subbed.
Iqbal's work is extraordinary, but unfortunately he didn't get the recognition he deserved, even in his own subcontinent.. People in subcontinent know him as a religious poet, but if he were in the west, westerners would've made him his ideal.. The way he merged and outlined simultaneously the science, mysticism, religion and philosophy - is unshakable.
Love the excellent artwork and voice that nicely complements the great novelist’s works. Crime and Punishment is my favorite of his.❤️ Self-realization-the toughest journey to knowledge. 💜 We have so many “Raskolnikovs” (with raskolnikovs) crawling around in today’s world, blindly following “societal norms.” We also have many Mersault’s of extreme apathy as in Camus’ work, “The Stranger” -not in touch with their hearts nor anyone with heart and soul functioning beyond functional. “Without God, everything is permitted.” (Astaghfirullah). “To discipline our will” and to “use our intellect” fully -such challenges for many today. Excellent presentation. 😊 “We must undergo a complete transformation” by “surrendering to a Higher Self.” 🌻
The following is attributed to a kind of new Dostoevsky: "I wanted milk from my mother's breast and only got the bottle. I wanted loving, tender parents and was only ever given toys. I wanted to talk and was only given a book. I wanted to think for myself and was only given foreign "knowledge". I wanted genuine happiness and got crude money instead. I wanted wonderful, fulfilling love and all I got was morality. I wanted freedom and all I got was a car - as an incentive to work. I wanted deep meaning and got a career. I wanted more time and got just one more job. I wanted real friends and got social media. I wanted real communication and got a cell phone I wanted a dear girlfriend and got a calculating bitch I wanted hope and got fear. I just want to live so right!" Please feel free to share !
I have to admit that your way to teach using illustrations image and, of course, including details about the psychology from the central idea of the dostojewski's book is better than anyone.
0:40: 📚 Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a renowned Russian novelist, delves into existential and psychological issues with theology in his work, exploring the interplay between the human and the Divine. 3:42: 😔 The ideas presented highlight the consequences of totalitarian states on people's freedom and the pursuit of happiness. 7:40: ⚖ The conflict between intellect and will leads to making wrong choices, causing cognitive dissonance and inner turmoil. 11:24: 🤔 The underground man is a sick, spiteful, and unattractive man who feels alienated from society and is paralyzed by his thoughts. 14:45: 💔 The underground man suffers and seeks revenge, lies to himself, and believes speaking the truth is difficult.

Dostoevsky, Love all his work!! Notes From Underground is my favorite book. Thankyou for posting this afterskool.
Jesus that was intense. I certainly see parts of myself in the characters depicted in his writings. It makes me very grateful for my faith in god and a higher power. This video should serve as a recourse for anyone feeling holier than thou
lol this is exactly what I was referring to w my comment. Anyone feeling holier than thou? Coming from someone who claims wow this makes me realize how fortunate I am that I “believe” in something like God. 😂 You are confused amigo
@@kylebushnell2601The Bible says no one is good. Only God is good. Strangely by your insulting and condescending comment you’re a perfect example of this video you’re watching. Without God humanity will inevitably fall into depravity. Your human response was to be condescending and insulting to someone who was just expressing themselves. This is just preview of what rejecting God looks like and when it is fully manifested turns into the unimaginable atrocities in history mentioned in this video. The idea that every human was made in the image of God, is valuable and deserves to be treated with dignity is one of the foundational messages of the Bible. When you turn away from God you begin down a slippery slope towards full depravity.

"If there is anything you should know about communism, it is this: No matter how noble your intentions are, no matter what you do, you will end up with tyranny." - Dostoyevsky
duh
If there's no God, the powerful imposes their arbitrary morality on the weak. If there is God, the powerful imposes their arbitrary god on the weak. The same result.
The core belief of communism is that group disparities are the result of oppression or exploitation. So naturally, communists use the existence of group disparities as evidence of oppression or exploitation. And any group disparities observed after exploiters and oppressors are subjugated just means that the communists need to do even more subjugating. This is the most impressive positive feedback loop of destruction ever dreamt up by man.
@@deleted01If there is God, we are all pieces of the divine, with no need to follow the ideas of others or subjugate ourselves with false identities. Arbitrary gods are only ideas, but God is found only within, through direct experience.
Capitalism too
The Grand Inquisitor section of The Brothers K is possibly my favourite piece of literature. ❤
What did you like about it ?
Reading The Brothers Karamazov was life-changing.
Dostoevsky is maybe my favorite writer of all time ..I found his work at the perfect time in my life, and I have returned to his work at times over the years. The ultimate psychologist of the human condition
The illustration/art/drawings and images dance with the words like magic. Beautiful stuff!
You know it's going to be a good day when your two favorite philosophy channels put out a collab. Well done!🙌
What's the other channel?

"There is only one thing that I dread: not to be worthy of my sufferings". This quote scares me as much as it inspires me. Great video.
Quite the struggle, awakening, and conviction. Of course, he went down those dark roads, whether by his choice or others. That he wrote so honestly, transparently, and through shame in later life is why I respect him.
This gave me a lot to think about, especially the underground man listening to his description was like looking into a mirror.
Same... I Will probably rewatch this
Same, it was scary how accurate it was.
Stunning. Astonishing. Excrucifying.
Yes, I had to make up a word just for this video.
Now please excuse me while I go tidy up, my head seems to have exploded.
If u r brave enough to face your own cognitive dissonance then watch DOMINION the documentary right here on youtube
The greatest despair is in being unable to recognize that the infinitely great is present in every person
What does "infinitely great" mean?
What you think is great, I might think is evil. And infinite means endless. We are not infinite beings. We are finite and limited.
How does an infinitely great person act?
@@JLydecka I can't speak for ReynaSingh, but I would say that what you are talking about is based on physical perception. "Great" does not mean "good" but "large" or "expansive." Our minds and bodies are not infinite, but as the original comment says, the infinitely great is present *in* every person. I take this to mean that behind every 'mask' (persona, person) is an "I" that is the same "I" you experience within your own persona. This "I" is the infinitely great, the consciousness that has no beginning or end, which seeks to grow beyond all boundaries and limitations.
Talk about it,sis! 🙌🏾
Okay. So go marry an incel or a crackhead. K thnx
Okay. So go marry an incel or a crackhead. K thnx
Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for the loving efforts you have put into making this video. While Dostoyevsky's words are truly deeply though-provoking, your artistic presentation and your voice made the message go deeper.
Love your way.
This one made me cry!
one of my favorite channels - Eternalized - in this universe - within a grain of sand
This is a very well thought out video. Clear and concise while breaking down deep issues to their fundamentals.
This video was suggested to me after watching Albert Pikes letter, describing how to initiate three world wars to destroy all faith and leave the world in eternal aethism. Watching this Today, as the world is going through so much, it really gets to me. I will definetley pick up some of his litterature, including the idiot. Thank you as always !
Listening to the passages from Notes from the Underground, I was regularly thinking about my time as a pariah in my school years. by the time I was 16, friendless, spiteful and fearful of my peers and family, loosing myself in my fantasy novels, I, really could relate to that sense of reasoning yourself into something better then you were, as you chose to wallow in your misery and hate.
It's, interesting in seeing your past brought back to you like that. I'm glad I found my peace a few years ago now, as long as it may have taken, but i wouldn't change a thing about my past.
I've always enjoyed Eternalised's videos, but the art brought it all to life. I loved it.
Thus was tremendous. The amount of effort that must have gone into the production of this video.
Very appreciative. Thank you.
This is dead on at what I've pretty much been experiencing in life and the realizations I arrived at about them. When I learned about these works and the ideas contained in them I was honestly a little angry that I wasn't exposed to them sooner. I listened to a coworker the other day reveal to me the pettiest of details about some Grateful Dead trivia and thought that's a great reflection of what I was raised to value as well. My philosophers and existential idols were rockstars and Star Wars characters. I thought how sad it was my education had failed me so much that I'm just discovering this material at age 43. Great minds have already worked out this stuff that I had to figure out on my own. It did give me great comfort and validation to learn about these works and the conclusions arrived at.
Well, I believe we have to experience it on our own. I'm grateful to be finding these works and great minds while I'm in my early 20s. But a year ago when I was in my deepest depression, and my life was at its worst in the material sense and personally: I tried learning about some of these philosophers and their teaching and it just...didn't click. I realize now I wasn't prepared for or in the place to accept the information. All our journeys are different, but it's the understanding that we all must experience our journey nonetheless that unites us. Moreover the understanding that our suffering and learning may be unique, but the suffering itself is not. This is what bring us together and shows us a path to graceful acceptance and love for one another, I believe. Fellow sufferers enduring an uncertain and painful world where we must transform individually first, then connect to others with our own knowledge and understanding. With love, with grace, with empathy.
Definitely and it also brings into a view many may have at some point: the greatest of advice falls short upon a man engulfed in war. Internal or external. @BallBatteryReligion
@@deadspoonxxx damn I forgot I even left this comment lol. I think you're right though, and that's a good way of contextualizing my struggles and a new lens for viewing others, I appreciate that. Funny enough your comment reminded me of a man I work with whom I've been talking to and learning more about. He's a retired marine, multiple tours in Iraq, extensive combat experience. Permanent injuries he got in Iraq like a rod in his leg. He's 38-40, still in great shape, charismatic and funny as hell but he's sharp and still a formidable and dangerous man. He's got some... interesting beliefs. One of which I've never heard anywhere else. I simply asked him one night, after a long conversation about multiple topics if he believed in a god. He said "yes, but my beliefs are...a little different."
He went on to say something like: "when I was in Iraq, at war: I was doing things that god wouldn't like. So why would I pray to him? That'd be stupid. It's war, I was breaking his rules. Satan on the other hand...he might be more open to helping me. He has power too." I appreciate that he didn't explicitly say anything like "what I had to do" or try to justify or paint himself as heroic. He strikes me as more humble/objective than that. That's not word for word exactly what he said, but he also expressed something like "war is no place for god." He went on to say something like: "now that the war is over and I'm in a time of peace: I can talk to God again." Credit where it's due...I've never heard anything like that before. And I find it very intriguing.
@@BallBatteryReligion full on. He's not - not making sense. Different for sure. Thanks for sharing that is intriguing.
This is absolutely superb. The quality of these videos are fantastic, to such an extent of inspiration and restoration that can only come about through what some may call Divine miracle.
Thank you for sharing these works. Thank you for your painstaking efforts to put details into details in which many of us will gloss over, but some truely come to appreciation with awe.
May the search for the Unity between God & our sinner Self continue to be brought to light, so that we turn from our Sin unto the pure and divine Love allowed through Jesus Christ.
I love you. I love you, because I wish also to love my Self. I wish to Love my Self, so that I also may be loved by You. I love God for these same reasonings. May all things come to pass as the depths of our inner mind come to heal, knowing the truth of our creation- through our Creator.
Bravo. Been a fan of afterskool for a while. At first, I thought it was him narrating! Ideas worth sharing for SURE. Thx guys
i'm reading Crime and Punishment. It's just the best thing ever

my two favorite channels ! Thank you for this
You all do great work, please don’t stop.
Dostoevsky's insight ✍🏼cuts close to the bone. ☦️
More than once 🪓 I've had to set his books down because he was talking 🫣 right inside my skull.....
......a furnace! 🌐✨🃏🔪 🌾🍇🕊️ Honesty, humility and hope from the epileptic convict gambler.♠️⛓️🔥
O'Lord, have mercy on your servant Fyodor.
♥️ Most Holy Theotokos save us.....
....forgive me, the sinner. 🚬 🛣️
What a life lesson, so grateful.
Another amazing lesson. You've reminded me of so many classic books i need to try picking up again.
When tears forth come, this is my validation...kudos...❤
WOW! SO GOOD! Thank you so much! I learned a lot about Dosteoevsky and other philosophers you mentioned from Jordan Peterson. This helps me understand him a little better! I constantly struggle with the reason why God allows so much suffering in this world to continue on for so long. Though I won't ever fully understand (because I'm not God) this at least brings me a bit closer to a better understanding. It makes sense that Israel means to struggle or wrestle with God.
Does God allow some things and not others? Is suffering inherently bad? How should God intervene to prevent prolonged suffering? How do you know this isn't already happening?
A brilliant presentation of an extraordinary man.
This was a spectacular presentation. Well done my friend!
Trying to be something you are not will destroy you, unless you realize you are playing at a game and that being a thing means you can be all things and that authenticity is only those things from which you've been bound to by fate. All things like you will rejoice in your return.
Absolutely fascinating
The Self-Actualized creative man will be ignored by mediocre minds trapped in popular technological culture.
Brilliant video, it really intrigues me to look over Dostoevsky's work deeply, for its profound and deep thinking for the psychological hell for especially, a highly intelligent person might fall into.
That was great. A very moving and insightful video. Thank you
Truly amazing, thank you.
Wow. Going to have to watch this more than once to understand it
Best video this channel has made yet.
Damn Sam! Thank God for Dostoevsky! For setting pen to paper. To do that for humanity, hopefully including me.
The narratives are always great here… always inviting a diverse set of ideas… brilliant minds… and the drawings are just perfect… hand in hand with the stories… the drawings are such an amazing story in themselves…😊
there is no difference between thinking about yourself constantly and being miserable..... thanks for the video it is the best so far we need more content on social media like this
brilliant work, the bits and bobs of wisdom from the narrator is also on point!
Ode to Dostoevsky. I've experienced those few moments before certain death by evil men who were so creative in their psychological warfare against me- long ago. The torment of my genius is relieved when I create or share my experiences, so I do consciously dedicate the resonance of my heart to the experience of that moment before death as an Ode to Dostoevsky in this moment and time. Thank you.
What happened
Imprisonment and torture to be to the point, in that same fashion my abuser brought both my mind and body to the brink of death throughout the time I was about 15 to 19/20 yrs old. Statutory rape that family didn’t step in on so I was in the hands of the father of my child who was quite abused himself his whole life, so went the cycle. It is now broken.
@@Life_with_LissettGlad to hear you made it through. Sending lots of love & healing from Germany. 🙏🏼

"Just a single man, Fyodor Dostoevsky, is enough to defeat all the creative novelists of the world. If one has to decide on 10 great novels in all the languages of the world, one will have to choose at least 3 novels of Dostoevsky in those 10. Dostoevsky’s insight into human beings and their problems is greater than your so-called psychoanalysts, and there are moments where he reaches the heights of great mystics. His book BROTHERS KARAMAZOV is so great in its insights that no BIBLE or KORAN or GITA comes close.
In another masterpiece of Dostoevsky, THE IDIOT, the main character is called ‘idiot’ by the people because they can’t understand his simplicity, his humbleness, his purity, his trust, his love. You can cheat him, you can deceive him, and he will still trust you. He is really one of the most beautiful characters ever created by any novelist. The idiot is a sage. The novel could just as well have been called THE SAGE. Dostoevsky’s idiot is not an idiot; he is one of the sanest men amongst an insane humanity. If you can become the idiot of Fyodor Dostoevsky, it is perfectly beautiful. It is better than being cunning priest or politician. Humbleness has such a blessing. Simplicity has such benediction."
I agree completely, Dostoyevsky single handedly cured me of my atheism.
The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment are probably the best two books you'll ever read about the human condition. Crime and Punishment is often cited as his magnum opus but in my opinion it is The Brothers Karamazov, an utterly sublime novel that will change the way you look at life and should be essential reading for everyone.
Dostoevsky is that guy that's already explored the whole Minecraft map in game and came to tell you there's not much there, certainly no utopia. Dude really sorta kills the mood. I guess it saves me the trouble though.
dont end it all lmao
lol
W.O.W! This is brilliant. This goes against the ideas of Darwin, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Freud, etc. Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, the great Eastern philosopher and poet from Pakistan, had his ideology centered around the same idea as that of Dostoevsky - belief in ego and faith in God. Hope you could cover him as well in one of your future videos. Brilliant stuff. Subbed.
Interestingly Nietzsche once stated that Dostoyevsky was the only person in the world who had anything to teach him about human psychology.
Iqbal's work is extraordinary, but unfortunately he didn't get the recognition he deserved, even in his own subcontinent.. People in subcontinent know him as a religious poet, but if he were in the west, westerners would've made him his ideal.. The way he merged and outlined simultaneously the science, mysticism, religion and philosophy - is unshakable.
Love the excellent artwork and voice that nicely complements the great novelist’s works. Crime and Punishment is my favorite of his.❤️
Self-realization-the toughest journey to knowledge. 💜
We have so many “Raskolnikovs” (with raskolnikovs) crawling around in today’s world, blindly following “societal norms.” We also have many Mersault’s of extreme apathy as in Camus’ work, “The Stranger” -not in touch with their hearts nor anyone with heart and soul functioning beyond functional.
“Without God, everything is permitted.” (Astaghfirullah).
“To discipline our will” and to “use our intellect” fully -such challenges for many today. Excellent presentation. 😊
“We must undergo a complete transformation” by “surrendering to a Higher Self.” 🌻
The following is attributed to a kind of new Dostoevsky:
"I wanted milk from my mother's breast and only got the bottle.
I wanted loving, tender parents and was only ever given toys.
I wanted to talk and was only given a book.
I wanted to think for myself and was only given foreign "knowledge".
I wanted genuine happiness and got crude money instead.
I wanted wonderful, fulfilling love and all I got was morality.
I wanted freedom and all I got was a car - as an incentive to work.
I wanted deep meaning and got a career.
I wanted more time and got just one more job.
I wanted real friends and got social media.
I wanted real communication and got a cell phone
I wanted a dear girlfriend and got a calculating bitch
I wanted hope and got fear.
I just want to live so right!"
Please feel free to share !
I have to admit that your way to teach using illustrations image and, of course, including details about the psychology from the central idea of the dostojewski's book is better than anyone.

Thank you for doing this!
your art is reaching new highs! congratulations man 👊🏼🙏🏼💜 keep rocking! loved the video
I come here cartoons. Excellent craftsmanship, really.
Thank you. Now I understand that I am the "Underground-man".
0:40: 📚 Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a renowned Russian novelist, delves into existential and psychological issues with theology in his work, exploring the interplay between the human and the Divine.
3:42: 😔 The ideas presented highlight the consequences of totalitarian states on people's freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
7:40: ⚖ The conflict between intellect and will leads to making wrong choices, causing cognitive dissonance and inner turmoil.
11:24: 🤔 The underground man is a sick, spiteful, and unattractive man who feels alienated from society and is paralyzed by his thoughts.
14:45: 💔 The underground man suffers and seeks revenge, lies to himself, and believes speaking the truth is difficult.
Recap by Tammy AI
Wonderful speaking. It's impressive how dramatic consciousness can make of itself through these actionable beings.
Loved this collaboration 👍
The most worrying things about Doesotevsky's books is that, when you're not even realizing it, you see yourself in his characters
thats insane
You've out done yourself with this one
This is gold !
Wow this was quite profound.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Thanks After Skool
the GRAPHICS are so important to the writer's message it's impossible for me know what is meant without them....
..... You are doing a GREAT JOB, though this comment hasn't anything to do with any one show you have or the message of or content seen today mean. - m.
I am a good soul in a cruel world, but my world was not as harsh as it was for Dostoyevsky.
I thoroughly enjoyed this
Excellent! thanks so much.
I think I relate to the underground man way too much..
I honestly think the underground man is meant for the reader to relate to, not to judge or condescend on.
Absolutely brilliant video. Thank you.
Never thought I'd see two of my favorite channels working together like this.
Absolutely love both of you. 🎉🎉🎉
I've got a feeling that if Dostoevsky could look into your eyes for 10 seconds. He would know you better than you know yourself his deep insight into human nature is astounding
Excellent presentation.
