Many recordings by him here.
This is a great library. Thanks a lot.
I appreciate them for lots of reasons.
For example they got me the chance to buy black market ice cream.
Without it I wouldn't have comprehended the level of absurdity normies can tolerate.
I use that example because for me it's quite clear that if a black market of ice cream had to emerge it can only be because there's something clearly wrong with the law.
Vi que la están usando así. Si.
Igual, es medio raro eso se usar plata como like.

"The obstacle is the way" - Marcus Aurelius
Did you know that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy is basically (at it's core and in a simplistic way) repeating mantras that make us embrace the challenges that the world has brought us?
Repeating mantras really works for me when negative thoughts come into my mind.
So yes, try it out. Whenever you feel a negative (hatred, depression, delusion, etc) thought, i.e "this was so unfair", "why did this happen to me?", "I'm not good", etc, etc, etc
Just put it in a:
"The obstacle is the way" by Marcus Aurelius
"I cannot control the waves, but I can learn to surf."
"This too shall pass."
"Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional."
"I am in control of my response."
"Everything will be alright."
Have a great day and remember the obstacle is the way. We're all going through it. That's the way.

Nice post.
Justnintime for when I'm reading Hadot's "Inner Citadel" chapter where it explains that Marcus's Meditations were done as a therapy to permanently have in mind and act accordingly to Epictetus teachings.
Calatrava right? Sci Fi stuff right there
