So how does this all apply outside of a social construct? I have to ask you if you know what a social construct is? Because everything mentioned in this video pertains to one. This is just informing us on how to live within a social construct and how to be divided from everyone else which is what mental and physical slavery is all about. Isolating one from others makes them easy prey for a nation of conquers.

@@accidentcellar6307 incel is a guy who desires another person's company but can't have it, so they lash out on that person. It's totally different from someone wanting to be alone, and doesn't feel any desire to have company. Alone is not the same as loneliness.
@accidentcellar6307 yes if you spend all your time alone playing video games, drinking/smoking, and watching porn but I highly doubt Miyamoto was doing that. Now if you spend you time in solitude wisely such as meditating, exercise, studying, reading, etc than that's pure solitude. You might wanna try that.
I sometimes do that, especially when I'm going through the mountains from Portland oregon to bend oregon. There's a stretch where no cell service, so my radio goes away. Which is cool bc I love hearing my car against mountain faces when I'm going through 3rd-5th gears. 6th is too low and don't have long stretches to even get into 6th gear. My car weighs less than 3k pounds ( even with me in it). My 08 g37s coupe 6mt is one of the funnest cars to drive that I've ever owned.
To my experience, most people are toxic. It is not on purpose. It is just that they don't recognize it themselves. I have learned that it is useless to tell them. Everybody needs to discover this for themselves. As I did over the last nine years. Since then my life has drastically changed. Detatching myself from people and "stuff" has made me a wiser, more balanced person. Living alone is not always easy but being among toxic people is impossible. When I watch this video it strikes me how I have discovered myself to live according to Musashi teachings. My life has become one great experiment. I love it. I am looking forward to what life has in store for me next.
As a person who loves my solitude it was so nice driving to work when the pandemic lockdown first happened. I was the only one on the freeway everyday. Miss those days.
After a diagnosis of heart failure and a year long quarantine after several surgeries I have found that being alone is wonderful. I kept Mushashi's book close by.
I love being alone. Ive been asked countless times from other people, "why are you so quiet? Why are you shy? Come over and talk to us." I understand why theyre saying that and i dont blame them. But i find a lot more peace, enjoyment and fulfillment in spending time alone, working on my art, while everyone else talks and wastes their breath. Being alone is a blessing. I also think having less / no friends is better. The only friends that matter is family as they are much less likely to ever leave you. Ive lost amazing 12-13 year long friendships and i have never have felt more free in my life. Im not saying to break up with all your friends but instead to only keep the ones that matter. Bad / meaningless friendships steal from your life while good ones add to it.
@@david4096 I agree, and this topic runs deep. Control mechanisms only work in a system where there is reliance on the emotional support of others. Independent people can spot manipulators quickly because the controller has no leverage with them.
Alone is the best medicine for happiness. Being with negative family members is like a mental illness destroying slowly our happiness. Whenever i stay alone i find myself the most happiness in me.
I love being by myself... once u socialize for a bit with ppl u tend to want to go back to your hermit hole not long after lol. It just hits different especially once u start gaining knowledge of self
Wow, I've been somewhat following these ways of living unknowingly. The happiness that comes from these experiences are very authentic and long lasting. I could never put it into exact words but Miyamoto described it perfectly. The hardest part for me is the being content with oneself while striving for more. Because I always feel like I want to do better and better. Cheers to a fulfilling and happy life everyone. Much love
True isolation for a certain amount of time can completely transform a man. There's a reason terms like monk mode and ghosting became so popular. Lock yourself away for 6 months, work on anything consistently in these 6 months and watch how you'll come out as a master or a transformed human. Amazing video
im almost 24 and ive spent about 6-7 years alone now, and when you're just with yourself all the time you are forced to make yourself better company for yourself or you suffer, you face yourself, you find yourself, you let go of baggage and things that weigh you down, you align yourself, your mind, your emotions, your very awareness, ive never experienced as much clarity, joy, peace and love than what i do right now at this point in my life so far, and i used to suffer intense depression and anxiety in 2019-2021, spending time with yourself going within is really the key to any lasting fulfilment and wholeness.
I agree it can force you to focus on yourself, but the extra "in a good way" part isn't necessarily true though. It can have adverse effects just as much as positive ones. That's a fact that many studies on solitary periods have shown. Let's not pretend solitude is all roses and peace of mind when it can just as well be thorns and torment.
Im most producive alone. Ive done all of my best work in solitude. Lockdown, forcing everyone to isolate for a whike, levelled up pretty much everything in my life. Before that i lived in the country for 10 years, by myself. Had visitors occasionally. I produced the most art in my life during that time and it became a career. I got in the best shape of my life.
Its very true i used to be around people alot when you choose the path of the loner its difficult first but if you overcome the edge you will understand that you have more peace. Some People really mess with your inner peace i had to let them all go
I never liked, shared, and subscribed so fast in my entire life until after fully watching this video. The type of reassurance I got from this video is invaluable.
Noticed too many people think loneliness is synonymous with being alone. It is not. Loneliness is the negative emotional response of ones desire for companionship.
Personally I prefer to be somewhat alone most of the time. I of course enjoy my time around family and friends but, when I’m alone I feel the most peaceful and content.
Hard to be lonely when you're learning. Thank you for this video, it helps clarify some things that have been on my mind lately. People in my life may feel i have forgotten them but i know i have much work to do on developing the mind, body and spirit. Plus I've developed some kindness but little compassion and need to learn to love more deeply
I never had a problem being alone until I met my husband who was also a loner. Then we found amazing company between the two of us. I shouldn't have gotten so used to it, he was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver who left me badly injured and crippled for months depending on others while also caring for our 3 surviving children under 6. I have been so scared of being alone ever since, I feel so weak and vulnerable. It's terrible what depending on others does to you, it robs you of peace and dignity.
Wish you the absolute best. Try not to blame yourself for seeking love as it is human nature, it’s not like you could’ve seen any of that coming. I’ll pray for you and your journey🙏🏼
I am sorry to read of this tragedy. Remember that while you are a loner, it is times such as this that the help of others is a blessing, though of course it has left you feeling vulnerable, which is to be expected. Praying your inner strength will return. Keep us updated! 🙏
I love to be in solitude and by myself - not all but most of the time. I can only handle other people, noise, crowds, traffic etc. in very small, infrequent doses. I find I'm happiest this way.
I thought I was like that but I also found I love being around people like me with similar interests and thoughts. For me, a good example is the Renaissance Faire. I could be with people like that all day…mostly lol
to me this just comes natural. i prefer being alone. i dont like texting people. its a blessing cause i see how some people are so desperate for attention or friends
52yrs old and been alone my entire life, and love it. not a fan of people or civilization. live off grid in the dense woods with no one around for miles. l live a blessed life, and don’t miss anything or anyone from this shallow/clueless world.
The timing of this is crazy, I'm just halfway through a book about him. Sword of Honor. Being an old Aikidoka this is right up my street. Great vlog, thanks 😊
I’ve learn a lot from this video and from reading the contents. I don’t feel bad anymore for having this strong urge to be alone for a while. I really believe I need it.
As a child and teen my family treated me as a bit of an outsider becauae I was an introvert and loner. They took my need to br alone in my room personally. It destroyed me. I wasn't doing anything wrong. I ended up feeling like something was wrong with me and suffered from depression anxiety and low self esteem. Now 48 years old and still a loner and a homebody but I learned to understand over 20 years ago that this is my journey and I feel most at peace when I'm alone.
I went thru the same thing as a child. Always considered the black sheep because I was always in my room opposed to being out. I used to think something was wrong with me but once I got older I realized it was actually a gift. I love my family as I know you love yours, but unless they have the same mindset you do they’ll never understand and that my friend is more than fine!
Solitude has taught me so much, and I do get asked alot, why don't you ever feel lonely? But I never have felt that way, it's taught me to master my own emotions and not to think too far ahead and not too far back, it's given me great mental strength, which sadly is how I lost my brother 13 years ago, he had great physical strength but no mental strength, I found a healthy medium, I miss him but haven't grieved like others around me who have completely debilitated there lives, which I feel great empathy for, but he would not like me or others around me that love him to be consumed with soul stopping sadness, for me it would not honour his memory to think that way, but I respect how those around me wish to grieve, the only thing I can put it down to is my mental resolve from solitude, and I know not everyone can do it, thankyou for this video you've made me reflect on my thinking and the thinking of others around me
I’ve been in solitude forever / Virgo here.. We are known for this… We are hermits and love to be alone. We are never lonely because we learn to enjoy our peace.
I'm a libra we don't like being alone, im 57 I've been alone most of my life.i misd human touch outside my birth mother or emediat family.striving to hold on to my sanitary and hope.
I was just talking to my friend about something similar to this and I run into this video on my youtube feed. That timing is Incredible. Fantastic work.
I really enjoyed this video. As an artist, solitude is essential to the production of creative endeavors. I have not read the Dokkodo, but I have read the book of five rings, which is another one of Musahi's writings, and I highly recommend it as well. In the end, it seems like the only thing we truly have control over is ourselves, so why not evolve into the best self that we can achieve.
Someone told me about the book of 5 rings. He gave me the rundown of who he was detailing some of his battles with other warriors. He said he used deception and got in his opponents heads. One story being he showed up late in the afternoon when he had told a challenger to meet him on an island early in the morning causing his opponent to be furious by the time he showed up hours later. As the opponent approached him angrily as he was docking his boat he turned around and beat him to death with an oar. That's pretty brutal. Is that accurate? I would definitely like to read the book.
@@DavidC2-fc7tj Yes, that's the nuts and bolts of it. He killed a famous swordsman with a wooden boat paddle. He also would not bathe for extended periods of time to also distract his opponents.
If you are lonely even though there are many people around then its called hardwork/dedication. That's how i spent almost my entire life in hostel and I'll be going back again.
I really love the fact that you emphasize stuff in known memory enhancing styles like rhyming and the calm voice and still having emphasis along with the calm background, as well as giving multiple meanings to the dokkodo. I love that honestly and I prey your doing well in your world as well as others
The answer for permanent happiness and the dissolving of the ego is to go WITHIN. Everything in the external world is temporary. You need no validation from the external ❤
When i got diagnosed we ith m.s. at 23, i found myself on a one man journey, to find myself and what was the true definition of "Myself " . I had always been defined by my athletic prowess, it gave me confidence and stature along with my "Identity ". There's that word again, a weird that wr necer give much thought to. I could right enough words on this subject to make ol abe Lincoln blush..so cut to lets just say after watching the dark knight rises, i understood what tge true fight was. It was never bane, yes bane is a real thing for is all...but under the skin and the mask its just us vs us. It always is and always was. Inside us lives a all questions and answers to everything. I know longer wonder what will break first , my spirit or my body.
I have spent many years in solitude. The Dokkodo is absolutely correct and beautiful. Then, when one connects with others, your wisdom will show itself to be of great value. Thanks for the video. Refreshing to hear it said out loud, even if the sounds of silence are lovely. Everyone go take a hike.
This was awesome and lot to learned from doing this. I have always felt that being a loner was not a bad thing but a way of having peace with self and staying focused. But being a loner feels alone at time or cutoff, but it's all in how we perceive things, especially when it comes to self.
I actually had a monk help me get over my spuratic crying and sadness I cried 770 days straight including Sundays. The monk said practice place sadness one hour a day with sad music cry remember e. G. It actually work only for that hour would I allow mental sadness in . One hour a day. I appreciate all those who share their wisdom to Help others . ❤You Sir your voice will put me straight to relaxed sleep❤ tonight ty
Back in my early teens I was just admiring musashi for his combats and the name he left behind. Just because I found him cool I tried to study his 21 principles and failed miserably, I didn't even understand a godamn thing😂😂. But now I can understand his each principles and their meaning and I can pretty much relate his every principle to my current life. The thing I am trying to say is, through the recent years and all the things in which I failed and lost to external things had taught me to understand the way of philosophy. "those who never suffered in life, can never understand philosophy" -by me.
Next time you use that quote don't be afraid to use your Name or Alias instead of "Me" 😊 It was a Very Good Quote and You should be Proud of Your Gifts to this World 🙏 Our Lessons speak for Our Path, And as most things in this World a Path may be Made so Others may walk it Too 💕
You are a true philosopher and teacher, I had the exact same experience but you removed all my doubts, your words were a refreshing stream in the chaotic desert that is modern life. Awesome quote. I may want to borrow it, I want to credit you tho
@@Jeriel_Lux Your comment reminded me of a children's joke that goes like this: Two shipwrecked, one male and the other female arrived on a tinny, tinny deserted island with a single coconut tree. They were very hungry and it happened to appear a floating metal box from the kitchen of the ship. They opened it and inside there was a perfectly, fresh and edible stew of garbanzos. The man started chewing fast but the girl did not touch the food. The man asks her "Why don't you eat? and she says with a gesture of repulsion, "There is a hair in it".
It is a shame that in these modern times we has less of these forward thinkers, and the ones we do have are downed out by digital noise. Thank you for this video.
"if you are alone and miserable, you are obviously in bad company" - an enlightened being has dissolved into the cosmic consciousness, for that person there is no fear or anxiety, there is liberation - in his solitude, he finds bliss
No, they find in the end that they have been deceived by Satan, and that Jesus was right all along. Its just too late at that point. They believed the lie of Satan that he deceived himself with, then our first parents Adam and Eve, that they could be like God (your cosmic consciousness), instead of Receiving Christ as their Saviour for their sins and receiving forgiveness of their sins and eternal life with the Lord tht created them.
Been on isolation mode and connecting spiritually, also admiring nature, its a nostalgic feeling 🙏🏾🙏🏾😎 once you get thoroughly into it you will refuse to let any other mf disturb your self peace 🙏🏾
When I die, I don’t want anyone showing up to my funeral bc when I was alive all I experienced was fake love from so many people. I lived in solitude and I shall die in solitude. But as I am alive and living in positivity and self care, that’s the most happiest that I’ll experience in my life.
Loneliness itself is like pain, a signal of something within that needs to be healed. Aloneness is required to align, integrate and reflect universal foundations without being sidelined by disruption. The presence of distraction itself is a signal mechanism, like pain, indicating there exists opportunity to mature. Aloneness is a fundamental art form that must be mastered within before it can produce its fruit in the world. Aloneness requires the sacrifice of everything, yet when all else is as nothing, there comes the paradoxical revelation that nothing can be lost in the experience of presence alone.
It’s crazy cause I went from the party like from 18-24 every weekend going out with friends and partying now I love just staying home and being myself it’s different but I love it
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 777 subs and > 300 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Real shit. Studied it in and off my whole life. Thats about 35 years. As i began at age of 6 or so. Detaching from mother and father, developing my own mind. My mother helped with this. It started with a love of ninjas at young age. Moved on from there. I still use all these teachings and more today. I tried living with people. They almost always let me down. Only maybe 3 really stuck with me. But killing ego, i learned from every person i came across regardless of color, religion, or any other meaningless construct. Past few years got back into it heavy. Really got to know myself and where ive been and what ive done. I do have a compassion for mankind. But i study them from a distance. Help them along from a distance. If they want to be helped. Good video. Many books on this stuff folks.
The lonely I need is pure pain in the gym. My mind goes quiet, the heavy metal on my ears go loud but i'm not there. Only the beast. All the stress goes in one hour of fury and them i'm back. Happy and feeling alive. This is my way of meditation. (listening to music while reading once or twice a week is great too)

Being alone is tha best thing in life, cause you really get to know yourself and your surroundings. Salute to this video
Driving my car alone at night or early morning, without any music, my favourite thing to do.
would recommend some audiobooks for learning
I sometimes do that, especially when I'm going through the mountains from Portland oregon to bend oregon. There's a stretch where no cell service, so my radio goes away. Which is cool bc I love hearing my car against mountain faces when I'm going through 3rd-5th gears. 6th is too low and don't have long stretches to even get into 6th gear. My car weighs less than 3k pounds ( even with me in it). My 08 g37s coupe 6mt is one of the funnest cars to drive that I've ever owned.
im riding motorcycle instead, whenever i had this dark thought grab my helmet , jacket, keys and fly away
You must have a sports car
My favorite thing to do as well.
To my experience, most people are toxic. It is not on purpose. It is just that they don't recognize it themselves.
I have learned that it is useless to tell them. Everybody needs to discover this for themselves. As I did over the last nine years.
Since then my life has drastically changed. Detatching myself from people and "stuff" has made me a wiser, more balanced person.
Living alone is not always easy but being among toxic people is impossible.
When I watch this video it strikes me how I have discovered myself to live according to Musashi teachings.
My life has become one great experiment. I love it. I am looking forward to what life has in store for me next.
As a person who loves my solitude it was so nice driving to work when the pandemic lockdown first happened. I was the only one on the freeway everyday. Miss those days.

I love being alone. Ive been asked countless times from other people, "why are you so quiet? Why are you shy? Come over and talk to us." I understand why theyre saying that and i dont blame them. But i find a lot more peace, enjoyment and fulfillment in spending time alone, working on my art, while everyone else talks and wastes their breath. Being alone is a blessing. I also think having less / no friends is better. The only friends that matter is family as they are much less likely to ever leave you. Ive lost amazing 12-13 year long friendships and i have never have felt more free in my life. Im not saying to break up with all your friends but instead to only keep the ones that matter. Bad / meaningless friendships steal from your life while good ones add to it.
Value of solitude = take responsibility of ur own life
People are the source of stress. Collectivism is a bunch of incompetent people leaning on each other. Individualist are self reliant.
Yes🙏🏼 Without the distraction
Most people want to hold you back anyway .They love control.
@@david4096 I agree, and this topic runs deep.
Control mechanisms only work in a system where there is reliance on the emotional support of others. Independent people can spot manipulators quickly because the controller has no leverage with them.
@@qua7771 you yourself are the source of your stress, people is important for living, but never depend emotionally on someone, that is unhealthy
I been being a lone for a long time at first it sucked, but now I love it.
You can do anything you want without having to worry about anybody else!
I need this because I live this way. Everyday! day in and day out.
Alone is the best medicine for happiness. Being with negative family members is like a mental illness destroying slowly our happiness. Whenever i stay alone i find myself the most happiness in me.
Bro fr man when i was in solitude i was so productive... This is the way to attain true happiness ans peace
Andrw tate is a human trafficker
I love being by myself... once u socialize for a bit with ppl u tend to want to go back to your hermit hole not long after lol. It just hits different especially once u start gaining knowledge of self
Some people don't like themself, so they seek others to escape themselves.
Learn to love yourself and solitude becomes natural. ..
when you're one with yourself.. you're one with all things.
Loneliness gave me power over emotions and taught me to love
Wow, I've been somewhat following these ways of living unknowingly. The happiness that comes from these experiences are very authentic and long lasting. I could never put it into exact words but Miyamoto described it perfectly. The hardest part for me is the being content with oneself while striving for more. Because I always feel like I want to do better and better. Cheers to a fulfilling and happy life everyone. Much love
True isolation for a certain amount of time can completely transform a man. There's a reason terms like monk mode and ghosting became so popular. Lock yourself away for 6 months, work on anything consistently in these 6 months and watch how you'll come out as a master or a transformed human.
Amazing video
im almost 24 and ive spent about 6-7 years alone now, and when you're just with yourself all the time you are forced to make yourself better company for yourself or you suffer, you face yourself, you find yourself, you let go of baggage and things that weigh you down, you align yourself, your mind, your emotions, your very awareness, ive never experienced as much clarity, joy, peace and love than what i do right now at this point in my life so far, and i used to suffer intense depression and anxiety in 2019-2021, spending time with yourself going within is really the key to any lasting fulfilment and wholeness.
Being alone gives you the power to focus on your thoughts. In a good way. Dive deep into your inner self. See you soon
Thank you
😌💯
I agree it can force you to focus on yourself, but the extra "in a good way" part isn't necessarily true though. It can have adverse effects just as much as positive ones. That's a fact that many studies on solitary periods have shown. Let's not pretend solitude is all roses and peace of mind when it can just as well be thorns and torment.
he who has the most friends wins
and he who walks alone learns more as they have more time to observe@@alexcalibasi7028
Im most producive alone. Ive done all of my best work in solitude. Lockdown, forcing everyone to isolate for a whike, levelled up pretty much everything in my life. Before that i lived in the country for 10 years, by myself. Had visitors occasionally. I produced the most art in my life during that time and it became a career. I got in the best shape of my life.
Its very true i used to be around people alot when you choose the path of the loner its difficult first but if you overcome the edge you will understand that you have more peace. Some People really mess with your inner peace i had to let them all go
I’m a natural extrovert, but whenever I get the chance to, I try to be alone. I love the quiet moments. And being by myself in the house alone.
This is probably the wisest video on the internet.
I never liked, shared, and subscribed so fast in my entire life until after fully watching this video. The type of reassurance I got from this video is invaluable.
Wow, thank you! glad you found value in it!
I’m finding solitude more and more exciting every day 😮😎🤓
It's a blessing to have a peace of mind
Noticed too many people think loneliness is synonymous with being alone. It is not. Loneliness is the negative emotional response of ones desire for companionship.
Personally I prefer to be somewhat alone most of the time. I of course enjoy my time around family and friends but, when I’m alone I feel the most peaceful and content.
Hard to be lonely when you're learning. Thank you for this video, it helps clarify some things that have been on my mind lately. People in my life may feel i have forgotten them but i know i have much work to do on developing the mind, body and spirit. Plus I've developed some kindness but little compassion and need to learn to love more deeply
I never had a problem being alone until I met my husband who was also a loner. Then we found amazing company between the two of us. I shouldn't have gotten so used to it, he was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver who left me badly injured and crippled for months depending on others while also caring for our 3 surviving children under 6. I have been so scared of being alone ever since, I feel so weak and vulnerable. It's terrible what depending on others does to you, it robs you of peace and dignity.
I’m so sorry to hear this. I pray that you find comfort in your children and that you find peace and solitude again.
Wish you the absolute best. Try not to blame yourself for seeking love as it is human nature, it’s not like you could’ve seen any of that coming. I’ll pray for you and your journey🙏🏼
Your Kids will be so proud of you in the Future to have such a strong mother
I pray for you and ur children to jus be in ur futures❤️🙏🏾
I am sorry to read of this tragedy.
Remember that while you are a loner, it is times such as this that the help of others is a blessing, though of course it has left you feeling vulnerable, which is to be expected.
Praying your inner strength will return.
Keep us updated! 🙏
100% what I'm thinking, saying and doing since years
I love to be in solitude and by myself - not all but most of the time. I can only handle other people, noise, crowds, traffic etc. in very small, infrequent doses. I find I'm happiest this way.
I thought I was like that but I also found I love being around people like me with similar interests and thoughts. For me, a good example is the Renaissance Faire. I could be with people like that all day…mostly lol
to me this just comes natural. i prefer being alone. i dont like texting people. its a blessing cause i see how some people are so desperate for attention or friends
Being alone most of the time has truly enlightened me to all the fake things and people around me I think am a much richer person for it
Loneliness is often the byproduct of a gifted mind.
We are never alone unless we abandon ourselves- Ralph Smart
I find peace being alone , at 60 years of age I've lived a very interesting life ( been there done that and own that) the simple life is very calming.
52yrs old and been alone my entire life, and love it. not a fan of people or civilization. live off grid in the dense woods with no one around for miles. l live a blessed life, and don’t miss anything or anyone from this shallow/clueless world.
I do the same. I care about people yet don't need their primal game.
I live in the woods too and absolutely love it. Having close neighbors is awful!
The timing of this is crazy, I'm just halfway through a book about him. Sword of Honor.
Being an old Aikidoka this is right up my street. Great vlog, thanks 😊
Hope you enjoy it!
One thing I've learned on my path is that when ya truly alone you realize that the world and oneself is singular
Explain with example
Turn aloneness into ONENESS😊...and master it...
There's only a difference of one letter between 'ALONE' and 'ALL ONE' 💜... Coincidence? Me thinks not 😊.
@@lovetruthfreedompeace6767Hey!! There’s no thing As Coincidence ‘s it’s Synchronisation my Friend! 🧐🤣🤗🙋🏼♀️🇬🇧
Wait, isn’t that how language works? 🧐
@@justinshelton5026 I think you’re missing the deeper meaning, my friend 💗
@@lovetruthfreedompeace6767 Well, I think you are wrong , kind person. 🤝
Im more aware than you know.
I’ve learn a lot from this video and from reading the contents. I don’t feel bad anymore for having this strong urge to be alone for a while. I really believe I need it.
As a child and teen my family treated me as a bit of an outsider becauae I was an introvert and loner. They took my need to br alone in my room personally. It destroyed me. I wasn't doing anything wrong. I ended up feeling like something was wrong with me and suffered from depression anxiety and low self esteem. Now 48 years old and still a loner and a homebody but I learned to understand over 20 years ago that this is my journey and I feel most at peace when I'm alone.
I went thru the same thing as a child. Always considered the black sheep because I was always in my room opposed to being out. I used to think something was wrong with me but once I got older I realized it was actually a gift. I love my family as I know you love yours, but unless they have the same mindset you do they’ll never understand and that my friend is more than fine!
We're similar ❤
Solitude has taught me so much, and I do get asked alot, why don't you ever feel lonely? But I never have felt that way, it's taught me to master my own emotions and not to think too far ahead and not too far back, it's given me great mental strength, which sadly is how I lost my brother 13 years ago, he had great physical strength but no mental strength, I found a healthy medium, I miss him but haven't grieved like others around me who have completely debilitated there lives, which I feel great empathy for, but he would not like me or others around me that love him to be consumed with soul stopping sadness, for me it would not honour his memory to think that way, but I respect how those around me wish to grieve, the only thing I can put it down to is my mental resolve from solitude, and I know not everyone can do it, thankyou for this video you've made me reflect on my thinking and the thinking of others around me
Be not afraid of solitude but embrace the strength of yourself and resist corruption in this world
solitude leads to improve focus, which is most important thing to develop
Alone but never lonely; learn to enjoy your own company.
Solitude becomes easier as we age. Because many of the people who were dear to us pass on. The peace of solitude is comforting.
we all will die alone so going through life alone isn't such a bad thing after all
I recommend everyone to read the manga Vagabond ! Even if you are not into manga it is so deep and has a lot of wisdom in it
Okay to what does it imply
Your voice is so perfect for audio learning 🏆
Wow, thank you
Being happily alone with God is exceptionally great 👍. Great Spirit guide us today !!
Highly needed this. Button-->
I’ve been in solitude forever / Virgo here.. We are known for this… We are hermits and love to be alone. We are never lonely because we learn to enjoy our peace.
I'm a virgo as well so I know how true this is.
I'm a libra we don't like being alone, im 57 I've been alone most of my life.i misd human touch outside my birth mother or emediat family.striving to hold on to my sanitary and hope.
Ima Virgo too but I often find my self longing for a woman's touch and that divine feminine energy. Makes me feel good
@@barrypuckett2488never understood the sign shit because I’m a Libra and I love being alone I look forward to it actually
It has nothing to do with when you were born 🙄
I was just talking to my friend about something similar to this and I run into this video on my youtube feed. That timing is Incredible. Fantastic work.
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoyed this video. As an artist, solitude is essential to the production of creative endeavors. I have not read the Dokkodo, but I have read the book of five rings, which is another one of Musahi's writings, and I highly recommend it as well. In the end, it seems like the only thing we truly have control over is ourselves, so why not evolve into the best self that we can achieve.
Someone told me about the book of 5 rings. He gave me the rundown of who he was detailing some of his battles with other warriors. He said he used deception and got in his opponents heads. One story being he showed up late in the afternoon when he had told a challenger to meet him on an island early in the morning causing his opponent to be furious by the time he showed up hours later. As the opponent approached him angrily as he was docking his boat he turned around and beat him to death with an oar. That's pretty brutal. Is that accurate? I would definitely like to read the book.
@@DavidC2-fc7tj Yes, that's the nuts and bolts of it. He killed a famous swordsman with a wooden boat paddle. He also would not bathe for extended periods of time to also distract his opponents.
@@mr.corazon4765 he was a sneaky fella. Cool. I gotta check this book out.
"you are always alone, with your opinions, with your habits and with your taste for life"
Nothing has changed, while everything is different. The way Myamoto saw the world will always transcend time.
If you are lonely even though there are many people around then its called hardwork/dedication. That's how i spent almost my entire life in hostel and I'll be going back again.
I really love the fact that you emphasize stuff in known memory enhancing styles like rhyming and the calm voice and still having emphasis along with the calm background, as well as giving multiple meanings to the dokkodo. I love that honestly and I prey your doing well in your world as well as others
If you can live with only your thoughts you are never lonely
That's sad asf don't ever say that in public gang, no disrespect.
@@Cuunkedon't say no disrespect, you meant it bro
Yeah definitely don’t say that shit you’ll be sent to a psychiatrist
@@CuunkeWhy are you watching this video if you’re thinking with this mindset?
Far better to live alone and WITHOUT 'your' thoughts.
The answer for permanent happiness and the dissolving of the ego is to go WITHIN. Everything in the external world is temporary. You need no validation from the external ❤
When i got diagnosed we ith m.s. at 23, i found myself on a one man journey, to find myself and what was the true definition of "Myself " . I had always been defined by my athletic prowess, it gave me confidence and stature along with my "Identity ". There's that word again, a weird that wr necer give much thought to. I could right enough words on this subject to make ol abe Lincoln blush..so cut to lets just say after watching the dark knight rises, i understood what tge true fight was. It was never bane, yes bane is a real thing for is all...but under the skin and the mask its just us vs us. It always is and always was. Inside us lives a all questions and answers to everything. I know longer wonder what will break first , my spirit or my body.
Solitude is a place and loneliness is your opponent
I have spent many years in solitude. The Dokkodo is absolutely correct and beautiful. Then, when one connects with others, your wisdom will show itself to be of great value. Thanks for the video. Refreshing to hear it said out loud, even if the sounds of silence are lovely. Everyone go take a hike.
This was awesome and lot to learned from doing this. I have always felt that being a loner was not a bad thing but a way of having peace with self and staying focused. But being a loner feels alone at time or cutoff, but it's all in how we perceive things, especially when it comes to self.
I actually had a monk help me get over my spuratic crying and sadness I cried 770 days straight including Sundays. The monk said practice place sadness one hour a day with sad music cry remember e. G. It actually work only for that hour would I allow mental sadness in . One hour a day. I appreciate all those who share their wisdom to Help others . ❤You Sir your voice will put me straight to relaxed sleep❤ tonight ty
Back in my early teens I was just admiring musashi for his combats and the name he left behind. Just because I found him cool I tried to study his 21 principles and failed miserably, I didn't even understand a godamn thing😂😂. But now I can understand his each principles and their meaning and I can pretty much relate his every principle to my current life. The thing I am trying to say is, through the recent years and all the things in which I failed and lost to external things had taught me to understand the way of philosophy. "those who never suffered in life, can never understand philosophy" -by me.
Next time you use that quote don't be afraid to use your Name or Alias instead of "Me" 😊
It was a Very Good Quote and You should be Proud of Your Gifts to this World 🙏
Our Lessons speak for Our Path,
And as most things in this World a Path may be Made so Others may walk it Too 💕
@@Jeriel_LuxThank you man really appreciate it and good to know somebody liked by quote😁😁😁
Like your quote,dude
You are a true philosopher and teacher, I had the exact same experience but you removed all my doubts, your words were a refreshing stream in the chaotic desert that is modern life.
Awesome quote.
I may want to borrow it, I want to credit you tho
@@Jeriel_Lux Your comment reminded me of a children's joke that goes like this:
Two shipwrecked, one male and the other female arrived on a tinny, tinny deserted island with a single coconut tree. They were very hungry and it happened to appear a floating metal box from the kitchen of the ship.
They opened it and inside there was a perfectly, fresh and edible stew of garbanzos. The man started chewing fast but the girl did not touch the food. The man asks her "Why don't you eat? and she says with a gesture of repulsion, "There is a hair in it".
probably the best video ive watched ever.. i needed this thank you
It is a shame that in these modern times we has less of these forward thinkers, and the ones we do have are downed out by digital noise. Thank you for this video.
I walk this path for a while I love how much peace and the sound of positive thoughts flow through my body 💯
"if you are alone and miserable, you are obviously in bad company" - an enlightened being has dissolved into the cosmic consciousness, for that person there is no fear or anxiety, there is liberation - in his solitude, he finds bliss
No, they find in the end that they have been deceived by Satan, and that Jesus was right all along. Its just too late at that point. They believed the lie of Satan that he deceived himself with, then our first parents Adam and Eve, that they could be like God (your cosmic consciousness), instead of Receiving Christ as their Saviour for their sins and receiving forgiveness of their sins and eternal life with the Lord tht created them.
Thank you for this wonderfully made video. Its educational, uplifting, and most certainly helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Been on isolation mode and connecting spiritually, also admiring nature, its a nostalgic feeling 🙏🏾🙏🏾😎 once you get thoroughly into it you will refuse to let any other mf disturb your self peace 🙏🏾
I must say this is the one video I really needed to watch and study.
I'm alone but not lonely. I need my solitude to stay mentally healthy and focused.
When I die, I don’t want anyone showing up to my funeral bc when I was alive all I experienced was fake love from so many people.
I lived in solitude and I shall die in solitude.
But as I am alive and living in positivity and self care, that’s the most happiest that I’ll experience in my life.
Loneliness itself is like pain, a signal of something within that needs to be healed.
Aloneness is required to align, integrate and reflect universal foundations without being sidelined by disruption. The presence of distraction itself is a signal mechanism, like pain, indicating there exists opportunity to mature.
Aloneness is a fundamental art form that must be mastered within before it can produce its fruit in the world.
Aloneness requires the sacrifice of everything, yet when all else is as nothing, there comes the paradoxical revelation that nothing can be lost in the experience of presence alone.
It’s crazy cause I went from the party like from 18-24 every weekend going out with friends and partying now I love just staying home and being myself it’s different but I love it
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 777 subs and > 300 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Real shit. Studied it in and off my whole life. Thats about 35 years. As i began at age of 6 or so. Detaching from mother and father, developing my own mind. My mother helped with this. It started with a love of ninjas at young age. Moved on from there. I still use all these teachings and more today. I tried living with people. They almost always let me down. Only maybe 3 really stuck with me. But killing ego, i learned from every person i came across regardless of color, religion, or any other meaningless construct. Past few years got back into it heavy. Really got to know myself and where ive been and what ive done. I do have a compassion for mankind. But i study them from a distance. Help them along from a distance. If they want to be helped. Good video. Many books on this stuff folks.
The lonely I need is pure pain in the gym. My mind goes quiet, the heavy metal on my ears go loud but i'm not there. Only the beast. All the stress goes in one hour of fury and them i'm back. Happy and feeling alive. This is my way of meditation. (listening to music while reading once or twice a week is great too)
Yes! My gym is my therapy.
@@digidrum2003Most people go to the gym not so much for the cardio but more as a form of therapy. Especially nowadays.
I've never once felt lonely in all the decades I've spent alone.
