On time. I’m a slow reader and I’m going to need to read this several more times before I can harvest the seeds of possibilities.
My mind is spinning in inspiration, reflection and contemplation all at the same time. I’ve paused, and allowed myself to focus on what resonates with the greatest intensity. I’m in a crisis and I need me to show up for me! I’m grateful for the first read, and the you the author for sharing it with us.
I was dead already. but than I forget. when I was 16 I was cancer pationat that time I read a lot about bushido, samurai and so on. the only thing nessesary was survive. samurai surve Daimio what is lord. if lord died samurai have two option to make harakiri or to become ronin. Ronin is worst than buchar.meet cutter. So I deside to die. I will surve one master Me. I realised that universal knowledge is in the air and if you are ready you can absorb from that library.

Note: Depression is not a thing that has a quick fix. It is not something a person is at fault for. No one can tell you how to cure your depression. We're all built differently and need an individualized approach to healing. And it can't always be overcome by a change in thinking.
I went to see a band I’ve seen on and off over the last 40 years Hawkwind. They have a philosophical leaning as well as sci-fi/dystopian, the lyric “when the time is flowing through me” left me mindful of having seen this same singer a number of times over the years, nicknamed the Captain, by himself and by fans. Another lyric came to mind “This is your Captain speaking … your Captain is dead” as the opening to another song launch to the spaceship Hawkwind. Their counter cultural ideas with anti-heroic message of self responsibility, if my actual Captain is me … then indeed “your Captain is dead”. Plus another favourite band with their dedicated anarchist communal lifestyle and message Crass have a song called “You’re already dead”. Both bands counter cultural in nature of their creative output.
I do that when I was cancer pation. That help me to survive. It looks when I need wisdom I connect with Univerzom library. You need to be pressed to the end and you dont see way out. But who Im. Oh yes Im Nobady dont lesten me Tray
Im so grateful for these reading. It is to read, again and again with full understanding of all. To appreciate the support and learn. There are many distractions present, so I should give all this much thought. Thank you, for the much required support. 🌟
This was an amazing post. I love the connection of Thomas Shelby to Marcus Aurelius. Variations in lifetimes, personalities and societies and a person can benefit in the same line of thinking.
A fascinating concept. I am a new student to stoicism though the more I read, the more I wish I’d stumbled on this subject 30 years ago when I was making some rather impulsive decisions that I’ve come to regret. Clearly no time machine, but I do feel I am getting better at reframing my own history. Context, it seems, grants me a second chance.

That’s right!
I divorced the day I realized I was dead. It works.
Great reminder to stop holding back and live fully. Love how you put things in perspective!
