With empty hands we can pick up new things, with a empty mind we can pick up a whole new life.

*"Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose."* - Master Yoda

Life and existence just really, really scares me. What the heck are we doing here..

I really needed this video, woke up with existential dread without knowing why. I just felt like I was living outside of my life with no real freedom. All my problems just overwhelming me. Thank you for this video, it brought me some perspective.

*"Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free."* - Thich Nhat Hanh

Letting go saved me from a lifetime of PTSD and MDD. The only thing that ever helped me was helplessness. No one will save you from yourself, No matter how long you wait. Its hard to worry about the past and future when you dont think about it.

I like watching these videos before I go to sleep. The voice is calming and these topics free my mind so that I can sleep better.

i felt how liberating letting go is, after i stopped caring about getting good grades

“In the process of letting go you will lose many things from the past, but you will find yourself.” - Deepak Chopra

"Have you ever considered... any real freedoms? Freedoms from the opinion of others? Even the opinions of yourself?" -Colonel Walter E. Kurtz

"If my wealth goes away, it takes with it nothing but itself." -Seneca

"If you exist, you cannot be free. If there is no you, you cannot be contained by anything" life = prison Death = freedom

I love seeing you upload. Highlight of my day.

"...If there is no you, you can not be contained by anything." That hits hard

"Freedom can be manifested only in the void of beliefs, in the absence of axioms, and only where the laws have no more authority than a hypothesis." - Emil Cioran

Hell yeah man, I'm writing about just this topic for a school presentation, started last week. Fun to see this in my recommended feed haha

[AoT reference] So in the end, Eren Jeager really was a slave to his own ideals. The boy who seeked freedom became a prisoner to it

"the struggle to free myself from restraints becomes my very shackles" -Meshuggah, "disenchantment" (catch 33)

“Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.” - Buddha

Are we really free? We are no more than mere cattles? -Eren Yeager This video is literally Eren's philosophy and is his personality to run for freedom

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams

"that is the daily routine of a prisoner, not a free man" i know those words will haunt me for a long time

This video is full of thoughts that I have daily, but haven't articulated to many people. In my experience, most folks don't want to talk openly about such ideas, at least not often. I'm glad to see all of you! 😀 I wish we could all go out for pizza or something! 🍕

The only channel on KZfaq I watch through to the end before scrolling through the comments

Your videos are always peaceful, and thought inducing. Thank you for taking time to make them.

I was on acid once and felt that the most honest conclusion to my existence was to end it. It was frightening. It seems that to be alive is to deceive myself and others to some extent. To fundamentally deviate from "my" "true" essence. Slapping me right in my face that I'm lazy, unkind, inconsistent, imperfect, and will always be. Very uncomfortable yet humbling in a weird way. Maybe someone can change my perspective. I don't know. I. I don't even. It's a figment. I hold onto something that isn't even. It's all falling and this "thing" that is "me" falls with "it". I'm a mess as I fall yet I desperately try to hold this "thing"/"feeling" together. Like I'm greedily holding onto something that was never "mine" in the first place. That to truly let go is to be free, from "it". From existence as I know it. As though if I died, there would be some celebration that I let this thing go once and for all. That then I'd finally truly be free from the confines of existence. It makes no sense but maybe it does? "If there is a god, I have questions." - an agnostic Peace. P.S. No, I'm not currently on acid or any drugs for that matter, heh.

Perhaps the most free we can be is, when our mind is free from idea and urge of freedom. If you don't know anything, you're free to not be burdened by the knowledge and perhaps even know anything, if you so choose. To bad you can't go there anymore, at least not in a way, that would feel continuous to your own existence. The second best thing is perhaps to stop caring.

minutes ago it feels like it was made for me since last night I had the worst longest breakdown I had finally let go of my attachment for somebody that didn't care it hurt and was a lot for me to deal with but I'm completely free now and during the entire breakdown I was smiling haha cheers from the moon

*Eren Jaeger has entered the chat*

We can't never be truly free, even gods are burdened by weights of immortality.

it is about time that you start podcast, it would be great to take a long walk and just listen to your voice

You are everything and nothing at the same time. You basically can control and touch everyone but also you can control anyone if you wanted.

For me example, I suffer from ocd, I was told not to think or react to certain things that weren't causing any distress in me(unlike other thoughts which are normally intrusive), and one of them was existentialism and consciousness. It surpressed my free will

The comments give me faith right before i was thinking that the world has gotten to a track of stupidity to the point of no return.

Now add on top of this the theory that we have lived the exact same lives over and over again which means I will and have made this message over and over again for forever.

Possibly the single most beautiful video I have ever seen.......So much truth that is difficult to find elsewhere!

Always at the right time these upload mysteriously

"WOW" That gave me chills! You win the internet award for the day. That was spot on and will make you stop and think. Life is too short if you think about it do it might not get another chance.

Your freedom comes the knowledge of all that which was said along with the understanding that you do not matter to any of it unless you accept your place among all of it ... And you're certainly free to do just that ... Or not. Much Love, mr. e ✌️

I cant even get over watching this channel, is it just me? How many of you would love to talk and listen to this gentlemen LIVE. Wouldnt it be fascinating to pick the brain of this individual and see the world through his lenses and perspective. Cant say it enough, love the videos

There is no freedom from the algorithm, thus I leave my digital pennies, a like and a comment.

I love how so many of us, either Alliances or Yeagerists, believe we are never truly free. Everyone is a slave to something.

"Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man"

Damn, dude. You sometimes (I mean often) produce such a powerful stuff. I mean, damn, dude. You must be an outstanding human being. Thanks. And your ad policy is admired as well.

If there was a golden button for the best channel in the world and the most deep and touching channel, I would press it and it still wouldn't be enough to describe how touched and greatfull I am that this channel exists. Thank you, all the love🙏

Almost magical that you posted this after i had just been pondering this same concept just earlier today... my conclusion was that ignorance is bliss,

Over the years I've learned to adopt the Stockholm response to my mind and body. We get along just fine now.

I just had the most freeing experience today and then i found this video. It's weird I've been trapped my whole life so i felt that way. Literally nothing has changed but I feel I am free now for some weird reason. Maybe I have changed.

Haven't seen yet but already welcoming Existential crisis

This reminds me of the great master of letting go, Guru Laghima. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve never heard of him. Guru Laghima was an 🌬Nomad guru and renowned poet who lived 4,000 years ago. It is said that in his meditations he discovered the secret to weightlessness, which allowed him to unlock the latent ability of flight. This essentially allowed Laghima to become untethered from the earth and live the last forty years of his life without ever touching the ground. On the freedom from ourselves, Guru Laghima said “Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong.” To free ourselves from fear and the other things that bind us, we are reminded by one of his most famous poems: 出尘世羁绊 入虚无如风 Let go of the earthly tether, (and) enter the void as wind. Or more popularly Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void. And become wind. Not by seeking freedom but by letting go even of the yearning for freedom and all earthly desires and concerns can we become as wind, passing untethered to the earth.

You know I just had a mental breakdown and existential crisis over this at work. And now I'm seeing it here...

Me after watching this: crying in erreh

I’ve been thinking about this so much lately and it felt amazing to hear it visualized and see that other people thinks these thoughts too

This is at the very minimum on par with the greatest things I’ve ever heard in my life. Thank you so much

“We join spokes into a wheel, but it is the stillness at the center that allows it to turn.”

The greatest freedom, of fully letting go: nirvana

I am free. Whatever I do, however I do it, it's all my own free will.

I was just talking to a friend about this and...BOOM 20 mins later this video pops up. Thank you!

You are not your body or your mind, you are pure consciousness.

As a regular viewer, I typically find your videos curious, unusual, and interesting. This one was made a much deeper emotional impact for some reason. So soothing and calm. Thank you.

I think I thought about something like this when I was 11... or 12. Anyways I've always been a fan of anime and I just observed them living their lives to their fullest from the other side of the screen. I've imagined myself living in the anime with them, imagining myself as a pirate or a ninja but then at times I'd compare the character's lives and the life I live in my imagination and compared them to my actual life. I always yearned to live like them but I just never felt fulfilled in life. When I compare my life to there's, it was like I was breathing but not living. I thought about how society worked in the anime compared to real life. I had thoughts like society here is always binding you restricting you of freedom. Every day was the same; I would wake up, go to school, come home, do my homework eat, watch anime, then sleep. There was no meaning in any of that. I had no goals. Nothing I felt devoted to. Nothing I looked forward to. Society has just about everything planned out for me. I have to go to school for about the first two decades of my life to secure an undetermined future that I had no interest in. I started losing interest in everything in my life. I stopped caring about family, friends, grades and pretty much everything else. Everything seemed dull to me. I wouldn't mind dying, but I don't mind living either. Honestly if I had to choose, I would prefer dying because I was interested in what would happen. My parents were religious but I've always questioned their religion from a young age so I'm secretly not actually a believer but if they knew that who knows what would happen to me. Anyways I've never tried suicide because I'm not the greatest fan of pain, but if someone tried to threaten my life, I wouldn't be phased. So anyways, I fully acknowledged that I had no freedom. I feel like I went completely off topic, but this comment is too long so I don't want to read over it.

ah yes, yet another thoughtful abstract concept for me to get a headache thinking about. Great videos keep up the good work.

"When we cease trying to square circles" Beautifully put.

Dear god. I haven't checked on uploads from Pursuit of Wonder in a while... And almost forgot what I've been missing.

Everybody is a slave to something -askeladd (lucius artorius castus) ironically people who fight for absolute freedom are slaves to the concept of absolute freedom. No one is truly free.

Alright alright, clam down Eren Jaeger

There are not enough comments acknowledging the beauty and originality of the editing. While I am accustomed to the quality and value of the thoughts provided, this video is an art piece beyond that. Cheers man. And while I'm at it: >Notes from the end of everything< is a great book. Thank you so much.

As Aemin Alert has said that if you go out of your way to find freedom all your life then you are not free you are just a salve to it

“If we quote everyone on the other side of the ocean, will we finally be free?” - Aaron Yogurt -

freedom reminds me of Eran Yeager.

Freedom is our capacity to solve every single one of our own problems. Any problem that we can't solve for ourselves is to the degree that we aren't free. Wherever we seek permission is because we're reliant and this is why we must develop ourselves to employ the wisdom we can demonstrate.

Free will is the gift humankind has been given that allows each being to freely choose their ideas and what they wish to believe or not believe. Our ability through the choices we make, to create new circumstances and environment, relationships, achievement or failure, prosperity or poverty. There is no way that man may escape what he thinks, says or does [i.e., the fruits of his free will]-for he is born of the Divine Creative Consciousness power and is likewise creative in his imagining.

Dude, if only Eren had watched this vid

Thoughts and love to my existential brothers and sisters...

This channel and Academy of Ideas are my favorite.

Looking for consciousness in the brain is like opening up a laptop and expecting to see KZfaq inside.

This channel is underrated 🙇🏽‍♂️

What if death is the only feasible way I can free myself from everything, free me from this life i never wished to have. Am I wrong to think about that?

Really the constraints of the mind only lifted completely when I tried lsd. I could think as far as I wanted and it was awesome

taking care of urself and making sure you’re ok is self care i see that as freedom and when u have a headache just bc it keeps u from going out doesn’t equal no freedom.....

Yes this is like a prison sentence, like being on death row, but with no set date, and if you have people who depend on you, you don’t get to choose the date.

Freedom is an illusion and knowing this gives me ultimate freedom

This video was absolutely wonderful, thank you so much for your time and effort into making it 🙏

Absolutely. True freedom is completely impossible for anything living or conscious, for it requires mindlessness.

Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures give a very similar feeling to this video. (Not that this video is unfinished, it’s perfect

Hello Pursuit of Wonder watched all your videos and gave them a like, im in a hard period in my life and i dont feel like i can trust my thoughts anymore. Everything becomes darker and darker as days past and suicidal thoughts and endless thinking of my failure in life and me giving up. i lack motivation and i sometimes feel both lost, empty, hopeless and miserable. I can't really be happy without any reasoning or knowledge of hope but thats what your videos bring me! i Become extremely happy everytime you post a video because im sure its a banger everytime. so i drew 2 drawings that resemble both a pursuit of wonder and searching for a purpose while drawing the complete opposite: feeling Lost and i used the figure in my profile picture haha. these emotional states have pushed me to become extremly artistic and loving everything related to creation. what i am kinda asking for haha is a video so deep i would cry like it has to go so so so deep that i might get special knowledge i never thought about, i am already really deep into my thoughts but i think if you made a video more emotional using big words and describing in full details as you always do, or just explain your own thoughts, i would probably have enough knowledge to help someone else in need. i already helped like 100 people with suicidal thoughts because i kinda like the sad mood and i could as well help someone i have been depressed for almost 7 years if im correctly and never had enough energy to keep being happy. I really need something that goes into my soul something that really really hits hard and which is both something that can really bring me into the right mind process. you really inspired me and helped me through hell, now i want to guide others! i really need to cry again haha idk i know its much to ask for, and i know you might not read this message because its long. thank you for everything i hope everyone will find purpose and happiness in their lives. and i kinda wish you narrated my life haha and pls give credits to the other guy who started out 3-4 years ago :) he was also an inspiration!!

This channel makes me feel home .. The kind of conversation i would wanna have ..🔥🔥

If you exist, you cannot be free, if there is no you, you cannot be contained by anything. That is so metal bruh.

You said it pretty well. So if we could escape our limitations we might eventually end up like God. But that's a conundrum. I think we're meant to have these limitations so we can keep reaching out and finding things. Maybe our experiences will be tallied up so we can all learn together

One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates 🎈

This. This is what i needed.

This video speaks Arthur Schopenhauer so much. People dislike him but his philosophy as well as nihilism and existentialism is the way life works.

let it gooooooooo~ -Frozen

"Orewa Jiyuda" ~Eren Yeager

I really liked this video. Thank you for making videos.

"The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide"

I'd love to see a video loosely based on BoJack and the pure sadness in trying to be better but always relapsing, the highs feeling high and the lows being hell. Also does the narrator's voice sound like this always? I can imagine buying milk makes the clerk feel like re-evaluating life

I’m high af

your desire to be free keeps you shackled by desire.

Complete freedom man this videos hit differently. Opens your mind and changes your though process. 💯✨
