It's great to be able to stop When you've planned a thing that's wrong, And be able to do something else instead And think this song: I can stop when I want to Can stop when I wish I can stop, stop, stop any time. And what a good feeling to feel like this And know that the feeling is really mine. Know that there's something deep inside That helps us become what we can. For a girl can be someday a woman And a boy can be someday a man. these kinds of topics always remind me of this mr rogers song. this was intended for children. and here we are, adults, struggling with the exact same thing.

Have you ever heard Alan Watts interpretation of the first quote? He relates it to our tendency to define and separate things that in reality are all just one “thing” or happening. When he says the 5 colors blind you, the 5 tones deafen you, etc.: he is trying to say that by breaking colors or sounds down into divisions you are only able to hear those 5 notes when in reality sound and color are part of infinite spectrums. When you make reality into small segmented concepts, those representations become more important than what’s actually happening and so you miss out on 90% of everything going around you!

Very interesting interpretation from Mr Watts there - he was, of course, very much focused on the western dualist vs eastern monist distinction - ironically, itself a form of dualism. A true eastern interpretation would see both yin and yang together and yet also simultaneously separate. In which case, I think George's interpretation of the '5 colours' overwhelming is perfect for a discussion on desire and addictive behaviours.

We naturally crave information. So we become addicted to scrolling on FB or Insta, but we're supposed to take in a bit of information, and then rely on ourselves to generate creative solutions in our lives. If we indulge our thirst for sensory input, constantly, we never practice creating solutions when we deal with the real world. Happiness comes as a byproduct of competence, purpose and meaning. Constantly inputting info from social media actually disconnects us, rather than connects us, with the external world. Happiness does indeed come from within.

@Natalie 1234 totally agree , from my point of view I think maybe perhaps the solution could be to add some kind of habits that allows us to think deeply about things and finding relationships between philosiphical , self-growth ideas we learn about in these videos and our life-experiences I think journaling is one of these habits to start writing down what you think about things ,your own ideas your own insights your own conclusion (btw i just made a journal and today is my first time to write down in it) and of course trying to take action which is the most important thing ,trying out our ideas in our everydaylife " knowledge is not enough we must take action"

@Natalie 1234 this is today's lesson from the daily stoics ,the strange thing is that it's related to the issue we discussed about social media... January 14th CUT THE STRINGS THAT PULL YOUR MIND “Understand at last that you have something in you more powerful and divine than what causes the bodily passions and pulls you like a mere puppet. What thoughts now occupy my mind? Is it not fear, suspicion, desire, or something like that?” -MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 12.19 think of all the in terests vying for a share of your wallet or for a second of your attention. Food scientists are engineering products to exploit your taste buds. Silicon Valley engineers are designing applications as addictive as gambling. The media is manufacturing stories to provoke outrage and anger. These are just a small slice of the temptations and forces acting on us-distracting us and pulling us away from the things that truly matter. Marcus, thankfully, was not exposed to these extreme parts of our modern culture. But he knew plenty of distracting sinkholes too: gossip, the endless call of work, as well as fear, suspicion, lust. Every human being is pulled by these internal and external forces that are increasingly more powerful and harder to resist. Philosophy is simply asking us to pay careful attention and to strive to be more than a pawn. As Viktor Frankl puts it in The Will to Meaning, “Man is pushed by drives but pulled by values.” These values and inner awareness prevent us from being puppets. Sure, paying attention requires work and awareness, but isn’t that better than being jerked about on a string

'He allows things to come and go...' - this applies to the whole process of acceptance when it comes to thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations. Don't fight or suppress them, let them move through you and see them as a signal about where you are today and how you are feeling. Really good video here, George - there are some very useful and practical suggestions here. Many of which can be found in common psychological treatment for addictive and compulsive behaviours e.g. the chase, recognising the trigger/stimulus, riding the craving (the 7-10 min rule), noticing the thoughts (CBT & mindfulness approaches) and squeezing the fists (habit reversal). Very well edited and produced too (always appreciate top-notch audio efforts too).

loved this video, it also reminded me of something my old psychoanalysis lecturer was once telling us...i think it was an off topic ramble...(be prepared for a long essay below) he set out this idea: say I was walking round town and I was hungry, so I started looking for somewhere to get something to eat. I knew 10 minutes away, there was a subway (I love subway) but right round the corner was some other foodplace I'm less keen on, say a Greggs. He asked where I'd go and, being honest, I knew I'd probably go to the subway because I know I like it and I'm not really that familiar with Greggs...even though it means a 10 minute walk. And then he asked why? Why choose subway when all I am is hungry, Greggs would fill me up fine and there'll be enough choices for me to find something I like. He suggested I'd choose subway because it's not actually about filling up, it's not even technically about the taste, but what it symbolises. There was probably once a time where I was hungry, so I went into subway, bought a sub and found it tasted delicious...and I remembered that feeling: that experience of being hungry and how subway turned it into something wonderful. As a result, I'm trying to replicate that feeling by going to subway again...it'll probably never quite be the same as that first time, but still. And actually, it's easier to explain this on a primitive level...because my lecturer then linked it back to babies. He said a baby feels hungry, which is terrifying at that age (hence all the screaming and crying babies do when they're hungry) because they don't really know what the feeling is, they don't have any power of their own to stop the feeling, they can't actually be sure it will ever stop and they won't just die from it...babies don't know that stuff, mum does (or whoever the carer is). Mum sees the baby is hungry, knows that her tit/bottle will ease that hunger pain and therefore also alleviate the baby's terror of "what the fuck is this horrible thing I'm feeling?" And so the baby experiences that mum's tit has the power to save the baby from this terrible feeling and all the anxiety that came with the feeling. It remembers that experience, and then the next time it has the terrible feeling, it wants mum's tit. But again, soon it doesn't actually become about the literal alleviation of the horrible feeling...because the baby gets older and is supposed to start drinking from a bottle instead or, eventually, eating actual food. And actual food will do the job just fine, better than mum's tit, really...and yet there's this stage of having to wean the baby because it doesn't want to give the tit up, why? Because of what it symbolises. The baby remembers the experience of how, at a time where it felt most helpless, breast milk solved everything...breast milk has come to symbolise something like a magical saviour for the baby. Ordinary food may literally do the same thing, but it doesn't come with that same remembered emotional experience, it doesn't carry the same emotional weight because it wasn't ordinary food that was there back then at a time when you were most helpless. The baby might even reach a stage where he wants breast milk regardless of actually being hungry because it symbolises such a magical, wonderful comfort for him. He doesn't need it, he just wants to know it's there. It's a craving, in this sense, got nothing to do with actual need: it symbolises some sort of impossible perfection that he wants again. That's craving for you: the pursuit of some impossible past experience, despite the fact it'll never be as good when you relive it. I have a clear memory of drinking dr. pepper with ice in this one particular glass in my house and it tasting amazing...so I always buy dr pepper and always drink it in that same glass but not only a) does it never taste quite as amazing as that first time b) sometimes i'm not even paying attention when I drink it, I'm not even noticing the experience of drinking dr pepper because i'm focusing on something else...therefore wasting it, which again, means it's not even about enjoying that experience again, it's just a symbol. On an unconscious level, just knowing I have the dr pepper in that glass, knowing I've got that beside me feels like a comfort: I just want it there, whether I saviour the experience or not. It just symbolises something nice, so I want it there, the same way a little kid might hoard all the coloured pens despite never planning on using any of them. So i guess the point is that we're a slave to craving because they symbolise perfection. Not total perfection but a 'perfect moment' a perfect sensation or experience. For just one short moment, we want something to feel utterly divine

For me in the case of quitting smoking, it really helped just to be conscious of the cravings. Before I quite I started keeping a log of the ciggarettes I smoked. for about 3 weeks I just became really aware of when I wanted to smoke and when I did. That enabled me to at first lower the number of smokes and also the amount of the ciggarette. End the end I smoke a quarter of a cig about 4 or 5 times a day. Then when they planned day for quittig came, I just stopped and so did my cravings....it was very rewarding.. that was shortly before I became aware of the Tao.

Another bonus is that when you do practice moderation it makes the experience much more enjoyable

This was the perfect video for me to see in the present moment and I thank you for making it. If you give it a little time cravings do subside. We all have an inner Sage!

I’m still in the middle of the video, but I can’t thank you enough for it... The squeeze of the hamds. Hilarious. I have eating disorder for many years, especially binge-starve pattern, and all kind of addictions. And you and your voice ground and soothe me so much. The wisdom that you soaked in, it got through you filtered beautifully Thank you, you are very beautiful human being

Thank you so much for making these videos, they're so well put together. I think it's kind of brilliant that you put all this effort into them and that years later, people like me are still benefiting from it. I'm really getting a lot of out of watching just one a week or so, giving it time to sink in, and taking time to practice. Thank you so much.

I have recently been exploring the ideas of Sydney Banks, a Scottish welder who had a moment of insight and called it the 3 principles. As I've since discovered Taoism, I've realised that there are many similarities, in fact any set of beliefs that work well seem to be based in the understanding that we create our experience through the filters of our thinking and if we slow it all down a bit and connect to our nature then everything is better. Love the videos.
