The Tao of Sam -- My Philosophy of Life

[JHoffTrumpeter]

very inspiring, and what you speak is the truth, I am only 20 years old, I have a beautiful wife, a great job in the Army, am going college without any debt (with $10,000 in the bank) and am content with my life. I know that would have none of these things without my God who has given me everything I have. I believe in helping others as much as possible and giving all glory to Him. It's so true that its easir said than done, that's why I tell so many people so they may keep me in check,

[cheezynutsac]

i wish i was like you T_T

God's imagination is bigger than mine

[xXnath619Xx]

very powerful message!

thanks

[PhilosopherSteve]

"God's imagination is much much bigger than mine" - I like this Sam, I'd be interested to hear more about your views regarding the relationship between God and man. I'd love to hear you distinguish, for instance, between the things God does, and the things man does. Best wishes, Steve 

[jimforero]

That was beautiful Sam! I had seen a few months ago, but just as inspiring as the first time.

By the way, you mention we are here to help one another and I totally agree ~ Can you help me get to the next level of my music career? It has been recommended I get an agent or manager... know of a good one?

Thank you,

Jim

[joannamarierogue]

I feel I needed to hear this right now. Thank you so much Sam :) Hope you're having a good week!

[KarameloKaramelo]

There is no choice, cause there is no-one. Tao is all about no-thing or oneness. There is only oneness. IF there is apparant choice, that is Oneness too. No one doing it.

thank you for sharing this. i really needed to hear it.

[ozSpiral]

good post, i like it. if there were room more text would be added to criticise and reply to the comments made by felocoventura, the farmerboy and many others. thanks for the video.

[Felocoventura]

My philosophy is we are all different forms of energy. Look, what are the chances for there even BEING such a thing as 'existence?' For molecules to act together, to make things, to MAKE planets, and energy, the basic form of all things existing. Is pure LUCK. That anything even EXISTS. And people sweat the unworthy things in life. We are all just energy, feel the sun on you, look at concrete, rubber metal, it's all impressive that it even EXISTS. That it is even a physical thing. Value LIFE.

[TheFarmerboyproducti]

@Felocoventura

I agree with most of this. its a scientific fact that we are formed of some kind of energy ( i think, heard it somewhere ) but I beleive that human beings are a " copy " of an exact perfect form ( God ) that beind said, im thinkning to myself of why there are natural difformities in the world. what do you think.....

[billdoesjudo]

A little bit sickening at the start and end but it's really nice to see that there are people out there who think along the same lines as me - who actually think.

[billyshaw136able]

The comment I made about, Taliban, bin laden, newest IRA and the loyalist (natzi) lot is to be taken seriously only keep your tongue firmly imbedded in you cheek.

[0412g]

did u get some of this from a book? if so which one?

[SamHarrisCOM]

No. Watch again and use the link provided in the info section.  --- Sam's web guy

[lust4xxx24]

Thanx

[yharyhar8]

Thankyou!

[hitsugayaisahottie]

that made my day

[billyshaw136]

Maybe we should invite the Taliban or Osama Bin Laden to unite the latest version of the IRA and the extreme loyalists (Natzi Party).

[billyshaw136]

We must get some first , of course.

[billyshaw136]

Should Ireland (including the North) nuclear disarm ?

[billdoesjudo]

Are you serious?

[BrandoShawski]

At around 3:24 you say "Gods imaginiation is much much bigger than mine"...Thats when I stopped listening....Before that point was amazing. When it comes to religion and my life...Im kinda Naiev...if that makes any sense...Good shit tho dude

[makaocloud]

lol he clearly states later on that his god is not a puppeteer, and by god im pretty sure that he doesnt mean someone he worships but basically he said that his god is his philosophy. The more we become ignorant to others ways of living knowing that it can improve ours, it becomes nothing more than a loos for us not them. Just like he said, take a leap unto the unknown and you shall learn more things then if you choose to not.

P.S: Im an atheist, and this does help alot

[Lelakek]

This is great.

this might actualy change my intire perspective on life ^^

thanks -

[adel138]

lol you looking to^^ ps: its adel

[Lelakek]

LOL ^^

[ala4akbar]

you have a beautiful soul

[billyshaw136]

Sam, you are 100% right. Can I say more ? Yes!

Lots Ther is not enough space. I love my wife and children and I'm going to get them back.

Yours sincerely,

Billy Shaw

[MidnightXBloodSucker]

I want to help your hair Sam. Nice to hear a believer that doesn't put God in a box. Very positive.

[vintagegarden]

I say yes! Thank you for posting this! :)

[MidgeDog]

That was beautiful - your heart is so giving and joyful - thank you. Jen x

[Ruffnbumpy]

Sam, I have always wondered this business question , when any big name artist like your self goes into a venue for live performance, How is your worth (financial) or could be a record deal how is that determind what the artist is to be paid for that performance. I always wonderded how streisand got thousands of dollars one ticket at one concert and how that is negotiated Thanks looking forward to playing Free with the top down on the car!!

[DescryHearts]

on second thought.. nevermind.

[DescryHearts]

I disagree with some of the things in that philosopy.. But some things stated don't sit right with my soul. I'll do my best to explain why. Firgive me if this gets lengthy, and I can't cover them all, but will post on what I can. These are by no means absolute, but would love to discuss them here if I'm wrong, and please state why I'm wrong. I simply want to learn.

Here it goes.

[sherryborden]

Sam, another great video.

[bossystop]

[bossystop]

[bossystop]

You're pretty hot

[tmnt9162]

It almost sounds like you are reading a compilation of horoscopes... but, good job.

[dreamerjs]

That is so cool!

[scowndrel]

I feel COMPLETELY foolish. How do I send a video response?  FOUR times I tried and tolerated my double chin!!!!!! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???

[SamHarrisCOM]

Well, we got all 72 of them, but you kept deleting them!

Upload it and leave it... then people can see it! :-)

[Pippilly]

Fabulous words of wisdom! Thanks Sam! Love Pip

Hi to your special friend.. what a guy hey? = )

[Pippilly]

I always find that adversity is the window to opportunity, I was just discussing that this week. I was brought up to believe that loving one self is wrong. Took me till I was in my late 20's to realize that idea doesn't work for "us" and each other. If we don't put ourselves first and take good care of ourselves we leave not much for others. I have faith in ALL possibilities and that's how I live my life and I will for the rest of my life. I'll always dream..I Have Faith in ALL Possibilities

[VLPRESL]

this is beautiful. it is very powerful sam. what a wonderful way to look at life. this is something that i would want to read every morning before i start my day. would it be possible to put these words next to the video in the info section? i want to share this with everyone i know:-) xoxo-vicki

[VLPRESL]

[shamac59]

I am choosing yes...and I am now choosing to watch this every morning. This lovely video of a beautiful letter of an enlightened philosophy is what I need to watch to remind myself to show up and do the right thing every day! Thank you so much, extremely wise Sam!

"When you ask for help, it gives another person an opportunity to do what they were born to do." ...Which is why it feels so good to do something nice for someone else. ~Very thoughtful gift...and will be again when your son is able to read it as well.

[1DRock37167]

This was great Sam! When the show starts taping you should read this as sort of a manifesto, and Emma should still be at the end of every show.
