Musashi's line 'think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world' is the whole Book of Five Rings in miniature — mastery as the disappearance of ego, not its inflation. What reads as a swordsman's manual is really a study in how total attention dissolves the gap between doer and deed. Well chosen and calmly delivered.

the best part of these videos is that you pass the fuck out, wake up at the one part you need to hear and then pass the fuck out again

It is so interesting to me, how similar the personal philosophies of Musashi and Marcus Aurelius were, and how close to the same age they were when they died.

Musashi’s life shows that wisdom can emerge even from violent times. He seemed to understand that clarity and discipline are forged by circumstances, not despite them.

Wow. I can only imagine how many times I’ll have to listen to this while I continue to try and implement these morals and values. Masterfull. I have a son now and I have to make myself someone he’d look up to.

This is amazing ....when i was young my father had Book Of 5 Rings and I never could of imagined I'd be listening to it like this narrated by my favorite narrator long after my father is gone and finally able to really understand the message ....wow .

I can’t listen all at once because, well, I can’t. I’m happy to take notes with timestamps to count on and resume. Yes!

Miyamoto Mushashi was surely a clever and inspiring man. One of the greatest of us, there is no doubt. It seems odd to have such an inspired and clever man spring forth from a culture of violence as it were. I suppose then it shows as Mushashi said, there is potential in all scenarios and conditions.

Thanks for putting this together. It’s a solid breakdown of Musashi’s teachings. A lot of time the samurai books get caught up in history and less on concepts

Best thing I’ve listened to this year🖤

A lifestyle taken from the private owner of Maylasia, since a child, the leaders before him would copy every invention, art, or discipline from him but it is what it is... the real artists and respectable people and his family know the truth so nothing more matters...peace♡

need to share this because it changed everything. was stuck in the same patterns for years - overthinking, self-doubt, feeling blocked. heard about this book Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers in a podcast and the quantum physics approach to manifestation finally made things click. 3 weeks after reading: noticed synchronicities everywhere, opportunities flowing naturally, and my mindset completely shifted. if you're feeling stuck like i was, the frequency alignment method in this book works. still amazed at how different life feels

What a life he led:
1. Summoned to another world in his youth to battle an evil corporation headed by another version of his rival, who went by the name of Gandrake and sought to exploit the magic of a mystical people.

2. Became an onimusha not once but twice: during the events of the upcoming ps5 game and in his elderly years, fighting his rival, ganryu, who was a genma under the command of a man named Lemon who tried an Oda Nobunaga with full financial support, from all the gold extracted effectively.

He must have missed mycella dearly.....
