I like thinking about the production of this video from Layla's perspective. She is happily exploring and just accepts without judgement that her friend likes to sit and talk to a little box. I enjoyed the video and thoughts; thank you!

raise your paw if you, too, are binge watching Accepting the Universe’s channel 🐾

You my fiend are one handsome dude with humility, wisdom and intelligence. Four things that do not go together often in today's society.

In 2013 I set my entire body on fire with gasoline in a suicide attempt. The next 8 years were a continuation of the mental health problems that led to my attempt. 2 years ago I had a genuine breakthrough which has led me down informational rabbit holes and spiritual experiences I didn't know existed. I am so thankful I found your channel my friend. I have a sort of fear that things are never really genuine. The larger an audience someone has the more I am afraid they are disingenuous and superficial. Something about how beautiful and serious your videos are with such a small humble audience let's me know you are sincere. Once again, thank you my friend.

My Rottweiler, Rosie, has shown me a fulfilling life is made up of long walks, soaking up nature, sleeping next to someone you love, enjoying good meals, and being goofy and playful. Thanks for allowing me to get present to this 😊

KZfaq recommendations are becoming better these days!!

Layla is beautiful. I just adopted a blind German shepherd, but he isnt near as pretty as she it lol. He's has a deformed eye, but he's an amazing dog...

this scenery in your video is such a dream ❤

This is what i have been looking for. Some one with depth and soul. Thank you!

Dogs...they make us feel loved....we make them feel loved. We want each others LOVE.

This is my new favorite channel

Layla is beautiful! German Shepards in particular, not to put down other breeds of course, but I've never come across a breed as insightful and intelligent as a Shepard. A truly loyal lifelong friend with a perfect balance of independence and dependence.

Animals also rarely if so spend time worrying about the future or past, they are present and enjoying every moment to its fullest.

Thank you for the insights. In 2023, I made eye contact with a Vietnamese street dog and it was magical. Time stood still. I felt the purest love. Unforgettable. When asked to reflect on the moments of felt love in my life, that’s a standout moment I return to. Now I know why. Oxytocin is a helluva drug. I love that you adopted a rescue dog and she became a furry star. You’re right, dogs know the true meaning of life. Dog values are the supreme values… Loyalty, warmth, kindness, nourishment, love, safety, protection, companionship, presence, play. ❤ Animals are wise teachers. They rescue us just as much as we rescue them. What a wholesome video.

Gorgeous duo. She watches all around you, protecting you.

My cat locks eyes with me sometimes..she also locks eyes when she is lying on my chest.. It makes me feel great.

I've been watching your videos every morning. At 7am, every day, I take a shower, breakfast, organize my stuff, and then, watch one of your videos. It's been kind of like a ritual to me and it makes me very happy. Now I understand you're a filmaker and everything makes more sense. The quality of your videos are so great it gives real joy to wach them; and the last ones, where you don't make any cut, just makes everything better. Thank you for spreading so much wisdom. The ancient stoics just fits with my and all of us, interests. Love, from Colombia!

So glad I found you today! We share a live of the Stoics and dogs. It was no coincidence that I found you exactly when I needed to hear what you have to say. As Carl Jung says: there were no coincidences. Love! Psychic Peggy

I always say my dogs are gods lol I know we can understand each other in ways beyond human comprehension ✨🧬

I have 3 dogs including a GSD. They have taught me more about life than humans. Unconditional love, loyalty, playfulness and compassion. But most importantly, how to stay present in life. ❤❤❤

i keep referencing this topic ever since i first watched this video. keep up the great work

Yes, dogs can mirror us and be our spiritual teachers.

Silence, the answer is silence, in this noisy world the more silent you are the more in Rich with meaning your life becomes, you toil more on your words before sharing, and the animal kingdom practice silence more then humans unfortunately, that’s why death only scares humans.

Man where do you live it looks great

Layla looks like a Belgium Shepherd dog. She reminds me of my Zoltar who was my shadow and a loyal and trusted friend.

The cinematography here is simply outstanding. I would love to see your work some day :) Thank you!

Great insight, great place, and a great man❤ Love this. Thanks

Very wholesome, calming and interesting video thanks for sharing :)

Your videos are awesome.

I enjoyed listening to you and watching it, very much .. a subscriber from Saudi

@acceptingtheuniverse I would have love to have seen the B-roll....Layla's webcam! I love how she respects what you're doing by not interrupting you, but still lets her presence be known. She's beautiful to behold and taught us so much in 9:04! So glad you came up on my feed today!🙌

resonates, much appreciated, love the background nature scenery with still water, forest trees and silence! your black dog laila is beautiful.

I love this video as an animal lover (preferably dogs) ❤

Loved this ❤

In love with your content. I hope you have children and not just pets.

"The Cynic is the natural philosopher." No surprise why they called them Cynics (From Kynikos, or "dog").

Very intriguing. It's not something I've thought about as deeply, but something I've certainly noticed. There is a lot we could learn from dogs and they help us by reminding us what is truly important.

1:36 "They look at us". Lela immediately looks at you lol.

Oh c'mon, my cat looks into my eyes :) and is not agressive, but shows affection (unless she is really cunning and faking it)

The eyes are truly a masterful tapestry to display the inner workings of a beautiful soul. I don't have a dog, but remember and love my brief memories staying with a friend during a move and his German Shepherd , this humongous *ss dog would just flop on top of me and stare into my eyes. What a good boi! On the topic of hormones, I loved that you touched on Oxytocin and wonder the stoic approach to the others like Endorphins, Dopamine and Seratonin. ❤

The love that we withhold will be the pain that we carry.

My heart and soul long for such a peaceful and bleak place to live.

I love this.

i got that dawg in me

On point.

Never thought there was such a deep meaning behind these things

Such an interesting topic. I always find myself closer to animals than humans. Their friendship means true friends: "honesty, kindness, friendliness..." Feel simply free & happy in their company . Fulfilled and confident 🌌

So interesting. Thank you

My cat will look me in the eye and lock eyes, but I do agree that my dog's eyes are far more "human", expressive and communicative. Any chance you can tell us your name? I'd love to discover more about the films you make.

Maybe there’s a deep cosmic connection between humans and Sirius (also known as the Dog Star) the brightest star in our skies? Or our deep archetypal connection with Anubis the G-d of the underworld (half human and dog)?

GOD - DOG sometimes I wonder if English is the language of spelling.

Nice.

I love my dog. I only have one now. I love my daughters dogs and her snakes and I love the outdoor animals. A few years back I had seven baby squirrels show up. I don’t know why they came here and every year. I usually have seven I already have two babies, which is early little ones that showed up with their mother. We have these old trees in our yard, and I think the animals, come back or their mothers come back. I’ve had raccoons before same thing now not so much. I think they got old and probably died my solace talking with my friends and family my brothers, my friends, some family, and being outside in the warm months, but really year-round. And gardening growing foods cooking not so much in the summer, I don’t like to cook as much but just being outside I have one Chihuahua now only one dog you know that’s enough for me humans we all have issues we get irritated with someone or they get irritated with us. It’s never usually a big fight you just kinda get irritated and, that’s the end of it being outside in the sunshine when we have it and in the green grass and planting and taking care of my yard in the spring and summer and fall in the winter getting things done in the home is a lot of work, but it keeps you busy. It keeps your mind free from things that probably really don’t matter.

Cats look at us for signals.

I'd say pretty much the same about CATS ✨

Dogs attack and injure people all the time for looking at them in the eye. Sadly kill in some cases.

How do you spell it? :)

dog spelled backwards is "god". dog blocks the "underworld". why they sleep at your feet. cause thats wer your "awareness" lands feet/ground

Justice for cats 😂 they have lived alongside humans for a very long time and our relationships with them are apparently more like human to human relationships rather than human to beast. My cat acts ‘like a dog’ in many ways, he understands certain words, sounds, and his face has different facial expressions. Just saying - they’re often overlooked as not friendly but I have been astounded at how close and I this cat became and how human like our bond.

Nice video. But dogs aren't the only animals who make eye contact in that way.

who's.. "we'? (:

No your dog doesn't.
