THE REAL YOU - Shi Heng Yi [Stoicism] 

Stress is who you think you are... peace is Who You Are!

This guy has the most relaxing voice

This man spoke very wisely, for those who don't know. He's referring to ego without saying it. He is aware that he is using a certain identity or ego in these videos but outside of the ego's use, as a tool, he is potential itself, not using an identity at all. Letting the ego go completely or at least that's what's to be practiced.

"What defines you, confines you." -T.D. Jakes

"When I'm not in these robes, I see other possibilities" - this is how you know this man is deep in the exploration of consciousness.

Shi hits on a FUNDAMENTAL principle of enlightenment - NON ATTACHMENT TO THINGS AND TO LABELS. Its the key to freedom and happiness.

It's interesting how Buddhism and Stoicism have so much overlap. Also if you didn't know Shi Heng Yi is talking about the Buddhist concept of no-self to at least an extent, a very liberating truth. Check it out :)

This is a very dangerous idea. If you see limitless potential in yourself, you are not bound to the certain ways of life you grew into through hard work. It is both liberating and confusing. You invite chaos. Even if you know that something will not be the best for you, you still push on and try it. That's living life. I never regreted anything I have done. Most of the sadness came from false expectation for my character from other people and my attachment to those ideas. Of what you should be. Yet, it is like going through a dark cave. Somedays you find the exit, sometimes you are lost there for a long while. Neverthless, you will have to wander those dark caves from time to time. It's our nature.

I know exactly what I am and who I am. I am so fortunate to know myself and my purpose, and I really hope everyone can achieve the same.

To everyone that find this comment, May God glory shine in your life I love you

I do this occasionally while taking a cold shower. It clears your mind and it’s good for your body! This is a good interview, Will

When I let go of who I am, I will become what I might be. Be like snow, my friends, cold and beautiful 🎉

This video made me realize how much I enjoy this mans voice and the silence in backgrounds on videos where a person's perspective is the focus. I could only hear him speak, and it really emphasized his words.

I started watching these kinds of videos recently but I only stick to one a day. It immediately makes sense but I need a day to really think about what is explained and how I can apply it the best way for me.

I realized this when I was 13 yrs old probably even younger back in the 1970s looking inside myself and seeing the truth my truth its a hard thing to do, to be your truth in the world around you because to me it always has seemed like everyone around me is who they are because of what they have the " things " they have and so in many ways to me they are lost and may never discover and or come to find themselves. so many out side things that influence our lives makes it tricky to stay I guess grounded to who I am and being in the present moment being in the natural energy all around connected and not distracted

Agree 100% the Human Identity is a major conflict to reach peace of mind!!

This really says a lot that people intuitively know but fail to comprehend. That is why separation of the body from nature not only destroys you but everything around you. No matter your societal standards or accomplishments, it is artificial. Who you are is the real you not the image others see you as. This is why people are so obsessed over something they want to be instead of who they should be

I sometimes ask myself , Who am I ? What am I ? why am I here ? What is my purpose ? Am I making the most of my life ? ..... To all of these , I have no idea ! It drives me mad .... I try to help others , is it because it makes me feel good ? Or is it trully because i want to help ? I have so many questions about myself and I don't know where to start to find the answers ...😒

Being born by other people’s concepts of their opinions is merely a guidance, to learn to teach yourself how you can guide them to believe you can show them what real illumination is the achievement I have been asked to give, and I never asked why, but now it is recognised. And I die happily every night now.

This guy talks like Bruce Lee it seems like, also his voice is putting me to sleep he's so relaxed

So many Americans need to hear this.

this is simply not stoicism but pure spirituality

I love listening to this gentleman! 🙏

I love this man. 🙏

Thank you for bringing this content publicly.

You are pure timeless being, only to be experienced when free of habitual thinking: aware of awareness !

That Is What really important in Life!Beautiful talk ❤️

It's all about the truth within ...Ty

Lovely to hear that for a certain part of humanity, the only thing obstructing the path to peace is to forget about how great yourself and everyone else think they are. In fact, it's really amazing ! 😀🤟 Kudos to you guys !

The self is like a blank piece of paper. Anything, and everything that we can do, or is generated by the mind including the idea of the paper is just a drawing on the paper and not the self. It is as simple as that.

his voice is so calming

Thank you, William, for your deep interest and for asking this question.

Thanks

Excellent approach, a lifetime may not suffice to fulfil it. Many thanks and good health.Paul,67

It is not that we have been "Given" a "Divine Spirit", it is that we each are a part of or an aspect of THE Divine Spirit (The All and The Everything - Consciousness) and we as an aspect or part of the Divine Spirit presently occupy or are embodied within the Human Form. A good video though. ✌Namaste.

For everything I think I am, it is weighednot by what I really am, it is even now measured by what OTHERS think I am. In this state, I am never myself, nor what others perceive. I am trapped between reality, and the place that everyone "THINKS" is reality. Even the MASTERS reside here, seeing other POSSIBILITIES. To be MYSELF, may reqiure that I rely less on others, and their perceptions of Me than my willingness to accept myself. Sometimes it's true.....being GREEN isn't easy

Fantastic!! THE REAL YOU 👌

I am mostly blind these methods have opened up a kind of spacial awareness. Thank you! Magical🙏

Well spoken.!! Master. I call it our book of shadows. Our inner realms. The invisible worlds clear to see..!! ..... ....God made space so vast man can travel for a million years through time and space. And never reach . Wot we call God. Our maker.?. The only way to reach the maker. Is through the inner realms... .. Bubbas heart. Dragons claw.

the real you is your highest aspirations.

Loved this.

Openness is quite possibly the greatest virtue. For example: There could be an archery range next to your street on the left side. If you go there maybe you will become the greatest archer of all time. But you will never see it even exists if you always go right. The same can be applied when having conflict with other people. Always embrace empathy. Maybe they can not understand your point of view because they have never seen outside of their small sphere of attention. Or maybe it´s you who has never expanded his/her vision. Always embrace new. Go to another street when walking your dog every day. There could be something awesome just a street away from your mundane routine. Break it.

This guy has more wisdom than anyone else i have ever heard speaking. True Shaolin Master, if i was younger i would join his temple

beYOUtiful❣️

Thank you for this video - Very interesting and meaningful! Much love to all of you here in the comment section ❤⚛❤⚛

Peace to the human Gods

The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible and he believes himself to be free! Self awareness is the key to freedom and knowledge is power but knowledge about yourself is self employment!

I love this insight thank you

Beautiful... thank you!

He disrobed in public without hesitation. That's strength.

And potential is nothing without training

the self is actually always changing, sometimes we are able to be our best self, sometimes we are not, we are also affected by circumstances and other people. some people bring the best out of us, some bring the worst out of us. i had an old friend who had this affect on me, literally whenever i would interact with him, i would be at my worst

🙇🏼‍♀️🎯💭It is one of my favorite 🔋THANK YOU⚓️I could not agree more 🙌You are so humble, and YOUR TRUE SELF is deeply cherished and treasured. A gift to humanity 🙇🏼‍♀️!!! Thank you for the interview Master Shi Heng Yi and for the question and filming. Starting the day with you is a blessing.

I did that and here I am.

Ohhhh My friend. This is gooood ❤

DR. stands for knowledge which is internal, still there under the shower. Your challenges are intellectually stimulating sir.

It is to unlearn what you have learned.

👍

Another great master. Mulligan brothers..you need to contact master yuan xui gang of the Wudang school see video link above..

“Behold, Thou desireth Truth in the inward being so teach me wisdom in my secret heart” Ps. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3066">51:6</a> I think the most difficult thing about being human in the Western world is to live a genuine life as a genuine person. We are conditioned by our culture to put on so many fronts and disguises in order to operate in our artificial environment that we end up losing sight of our real persons. Os Guinness said, “What’s done us in is captivity to the distortions of our advanced modern age.”

Thank you and God bless you in Jesus Christ name Amen

🙏

Sifu what my body is filled with enery a supply of necessary energy.

Check this book out!! The Transformation of Self: Unleashing the inner conflicting positive and negative forces of this realm and questing for a greater more spiritual one, downloading from the source.

Good

Inspiring !

This is ACE, thank you. 💪🏻💫🙏🏻

I have an old saying that I live by that says “ The clothes don’t make the man “.

"hell on earth, is meeting the man you could have become"

To go through this is a very scary endeavor indeed...

Creativity needs limitations.

Yes you can define yourself as the suit but it's important to mention you can also define yourself by the glasses, skin color, gender or some other identity that depending on your concept of the surrounding culture puts this idea of yourself as less than. This is also artificial. You are you, equal as anyone else; same experience of consciousness.

The void is inside.

All these years I never understood why my female relatives did not like me they spent their lives lnvesting makeup I never used I was a home maker opposed to working

💜

Agree

Shed your old skin and come anew as nature teaches you or else do nothing yet the universe keeps spinning all around.☯

we all in a culture and live with that culture. lots of us is made of it. Who I am? I am a product of this, like it and dislike. We forget nature.

This is the first video I have experienced......❤️‍🔥🤍 Now.....I look for a new one everyday........ Wonderful for my spirit and soul, this is and will be.....❤️‍🔥🤍

Shi Heng Yi, come into the real world and test those old theories.

Soo.. artificial is me telling everyone I was Navy Seal when in reality I voluntarily quit basic training on my 2nd week because it was too tough. Is that what he means?

Perfectly explained, I absolutely agree! 🍃🤍🙏

I am a spirit, use a mind, have a body. I'm not a mind or a body. Not a thing but a creator of things. Natively cause, not effect...though can consider oneself to be effect. No location in space or time but can consider oneself to have a location in space or time. Not composed of matter or energy (though have some similarities to energy). Aware of being aware. No beginning or end, just ARE.

I am hungry and I am going to make myself some food.
