In Our Time - History of Alchemy

https://youtu.be/UgwyVqEGj1k

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of Alchemy, the ancient science of transformations. The most famous alchemical text is the Emerald Tablet, written around 500BC and attributed to the mythical Egyptian figure of Hermes Trismegistus. Among its twelve lines are the essential words - “as above, so below".

OP here. What the fuck is this?

>>8471268
Save you from what?

>>8471322
Being unhappy more than I'm happy throughout the span of my life

>>8471325
Nice spooks you got there kid, just get on AD's if you want to be "happy".

>>8471336
jesus

>>8471358
Nah, anon's right. Normally I find Stirnermemeing annoying, but focusing on being happy is pretty spooky.

>>8471268
Adopt stoicism. And do not define yourself by your job or the things you own. Just make sure you have the basic necessities: Food, water, shelter. These are the only things you should really worry about, everything else doesn't really matter. In fact most things don't really matter.

Then pursue getting rich as a hobby. If it works, great. If it fails, whatever.

>>8471268
Just, like, do what you want, man.

b yurself, bcus u r unique ;^)

It doesn't really matter what you do, unless you make it matter. You shouldn't make it matter.

Save you from what? Poverty? Unhappiness? unfulfillment?

The only way I stay grounded and content in life is through meditation. If I stop meditating and living mindfully the anxiety, stress and depression slowly starts creeping in. I can still chase money while I'm not meditating as long as I am in the moment while doing it. It's actually easier to catch yourself procrastinating if you are aware of your thoughts.

But that's me. I wonder if the people who aren't practicing meditation have total trainwrecks of inner landscapes and they just don't know any other way of being, or if there are people who are inherently "cool".
