Albert Camus is one of the greatest French writers and thinkers. He was a philosopher, an author and a journalist. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 and his most famous works are The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall, and The Rebel. Camus is one of the most representative figures of the philosophy of the “absurd” or “absurdism,” which is a philosophical movement having as its central hypothesis that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe. Camus considered that absolute freedom must be balanced with absolute justice - too much freedom leads to the situation when the strong suppresses the weak but too much justice kills freedom, and we need to live and let live. As a promoter of the philosophy of the “absurd”, Camus believed that life has no meaning, that the universe simply exists and that it is indifferent to people’s lives. We are like Sisyphus from Greek mythology, forever carrying that heavy rock to the top of the hill, although we know the rock will always fall down and our life's work is meaningless. Our condition might be tragic, but Camus considered that this exact condition hides a blessing in disguise: life does not have a meaning, but we are free to attribute it any meaning we want. His philosophy has inspired a lot of  people in dealing with the absurdity of life and even today, his philosophy is extremely relevant.

The Buddha was a philosopher, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who is credited as the founder of Buddhism. He was born as Siddhartha Gautama in India in 566 BC into an aristocratic family and when he was twenty-nine years old, he left the comforts of his home to seek the meaning of the suffering he saw around him. After six years of arduous yogic training, he abandoned the way of self-mortification and instead sat in mindful meditation beneath a bodhi tree. On the full moon of May, with the rising of the morning star, Siddhartha Gautama became the Buddha, the awakened one. The Buddha wandered the plains of northeastern India for 45 years more, teaching the path or Dharma he had realized in that moment. Around him developed a community of people, drawn from every tribe and caste, devoted to practicing this path. Nowadays, he is worshiped by most Buddhist schools as the enlightened one who has escaped the cycle of birth and rebirth, transcending Karma. Their main teachings focus on their insight into duhkha meaning “suffering” and into Nirvana, which means the end of suffering.

How To Let Go - Shiva (Philosophy of Tantra). In this video we will be talking about how to let go correctly from the tantric philosophy of lord Shiva. 

In Hindu mythology, there is an idea that sometimes the universe becomes too full. Over time it gathers the weight of billions of human desires, habits, and egos. People cling to things that should have ended long ago, and old systems keep running long after they stop working. Slowly, everything becomes heavy and rigid—until nothing new can grow, because nothing old is allowed to disappear.
When things reach that point, mythology says that Shiva begins the Tandava, his cosmic dance. This dance shakes the entire universe. Stars fall from the sky. Oceans rise and swallow the land. Mountains crumble. Cities vanish. Everything that once looked permanent breaks apart and returns to the dark, formless space from which it came.From the outside, it sounds like the end  of the world. Total destruction. But in the myth, it’s a reset. A clearing of space so that life can begin again.
Hindu tradition explains the universe through three major forces, known as the Trimurti. First there is Brahma, the creator, who brings things into existence. Then there is Vishnu, the preserver, who keeps the world stable and running. And finally, there is Shiva, the one responsible for ending things. But here, destruction is not simply violence or chaos, it represents the natural process through which things dissolve when their time is over. You see this pattern everywhere in life. A song ends in silence. A breath is followed by an exhale. In the same way, every phase of life has to end before another one can begin. Think about what would happen if nothing ever finished. If flowers never wilted, fruit could never grow. If childhood never ended, adulthood could never begin. Endings make space for change. Still, letting go is one of the hardest things we have to do.  Shiva shares the philosophy of Tantra with his wife Parvati.  The word "Tantra" literally means "tool" or "technique", teaching practical ways to understand life, offering methods that help people let go of the past and reconnect with the natural flow of existence. In this video we will be talking about how to let go and move on from the philosophy of Tantra. 

So here are 5 radical ways to let go from the tantric philosophy of lord Shiva. 
01. Neti Neti
02. The Myth of Sati
03. Identify with the Bhasma
04. Stay in the Gap
05. Release the "I-Maker"
I hope you enjoyed watching these he seven ways of Tantric philosophy to help you let go from the philosophy of Lord Shiva. 

Become Who You Are Afraid To Be - Lord Shiva (Philosophy Of Tantra). In this podcast, we will be talking about how to become who you are afraid to be from the tantric philosophy of Lord Shiva.

In Indian philosophy, three main forces, three gods known as the Trimurti are said to maintain the universe: Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver, and Shiva the Destroyer.
While Brahma and Vishnu are connected to the structure of the world, Shiva is often linked to inner change. He represents the destruction of ego, false beliefs, and mental limits that keep a person stuck. Often called the first yogi, he was the first to master the human system and transcend the limitations of the mind, thus making him the ultimate archetype of human potential.
While most religions focus on following rules to reach a "heaven" later, Tantra is a philosophy for the here and now. The word "Tantra" literally means "tool" or "technique." It is a collection of radical methods, supposedly handed down directly from Shiva to his wife Parvati, designed to shatter the ego and expand consciousness.

Here are the seven ways of Tantric philosophy to help you destroy your limitations and finally become the person you are currently afraid to be. 
01. Break the Pashu 
02. Find Your Cremation Ground 
03. Process the Poison 
04. Dissolve the Vikalpa 
05. Tame the Monster 
06. The Union of Totality 
07. The Great Recognition 
I hope you enjoyed listening to these seven ways of Tantric philosophy to help you destroy your limitations and finally become the person you are currently afraid to be from the philosophy of Lord Shiva. 

Sun Wukong - How To Discipline Your Monkey Mind (Taoism).  In this podcast, we’re going to look at how to Discipline Your Monkey Mind through the taoist philosophy of “Sun Wukong."

Sun Wukong is the legendary protagonist of the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West. He is a god-tier monkey king and a warrior who can leap across the sky and shift into 72 different forms.
But unlike other mythic figures, Wukong began his journey as a mortal slave to his own impulses. He was reckless, impulsive, and his own worst enemy. His transformation from a rebellious monster into an enlightened master is a psychological blueprint for every man who feels like a victim of his own talent; the man who is ambitious but lazy, talented but distracted. Most of us live like the early Wukong. We all have an inner unruly monkey - that part of your brain that craves distraction, avoids work, and chases cheap dopamine. We have the gifts, but this monkey keeps us trapped in a cycle of aimless impulse and keeps us stuck or invisible despite our potential. The problem is that we’re fighting the world when we should be mastering that monkey. 

So here are ways to Master Your Unruly Monkey Mind through the taoist philosophy of “Sun Wukong."
01. The Discovery of Mortality
02. The Arrogance of Skill
03. The Great Humbling
04. The Diet of Molten Copper 
05. The Death of the Great Sage 
06. The Discipline of Mission
07. The Victorious Fighting Buddha 
I hope you enjoyed listening to these ways to Master Your Unruly Monkey Mind through the taoist philosophy of “Sun Wukong."
