Why Am I Never Satisfied?

[TRUTHBETOLD10]

This is why marriage dont work

[Wharwulif]

Funny,I lack the need to pleasure myself,I only wish to make someone that I love feel pleasure.

The world does not give me satisfaction for the simple reason that it does not fit my needs or wishes.

But yeah,humans do have this uncontrolled need for MORE all the time,but I'm programmed to actually want LESS,which is kinda funny.

Also,If I'm hungry,I think of Fallen leafs...and that's that.

If I'm starving-I think of olives.

But eating only counts for survival,not for pleasure.

Maybe opposite=me

[00soundwave00]

now im hungry... brb getting a hotdog... or a pizza... or a steak!!!! =)

[00soundwave00]

Haha I legit gave you a midle when you gave the steak example! Then I thumbsed up when ya said vegitarians should substitute tofu... you rock =P

[pressure609]

what if i would want to fulfill to those who deserve it? what about leeches of society?

[deeq231]

[22.11] And among men is he who serves Allah (standing) on the verge, so that if good befalls him he is satisfied therewith, but if a trial afflict him he turns back headlong; he loses this world as well as the hereafter; that is a manifest loss.quran

[8soccer4life8]

cool vid 

[majikstranger]

I must be a natural kabbalahist cause ive spent my life thinking and coming up with these same ideas. After being burnt by religion im afraid of believing in organized beliefs. What separates kabbalah from philosophy?

[MrDoobie]

That was tasty

[bitterherbs94]

what about empathy or love knowing pleasure is not the ends rather that good is pleasure causes happiness not happiness causing pleasure

pleas resp i really want to know your thoughts on this

[bitterherbs94]

what about empathy or love knowing pleasure is not the ends rather that good is pleasure causes happiness not happiness causing pleasure

[amopower1]

I have spend my life giving...to friend's, family,stranger's I hate seeing people struggling but ive come to realise! people will take, take, take until you have nothing left which is what has happened to me! im fortunate because I know with hard work I can get back to a comfortable position but I cant believe the people I have helped have watched me struggle recently. When I get back to how I was im going to be more carefull and learn not to fufill everyone elses need's.

[cuautlajal]

@amopower1 You need to fully understand the point of this. He is not saying to give away what you have.

[ScotiExile]

@amopower1 thats how i see it

[miketsiaras]

yeap the title is not user ''friendly''

[Smirnov25]

Actually, I will argue that the fulfillment has little personal progression(or in this case a fulfilled desire). I admire all of your other videos, however, one does not need to make others happy in order to make oneself happy. As Rand would say, one should not be selfish with their desires but rather with their work and self. For example I can choose to be a good person because it fulfills me and not because other people are telling me to do so.Pleasure is not a good way to prove collectivism

[sergiofmendes]

Muito bom vídeo .. sinceramente .. simples e de fácil entendimento .. falta chegar ao coração das nações cristãs .. abraços e obrigado!

[cwaugh85]

Ego can't be removed, ever. If the ego makes me want, and I WANT to stop wanting, and I WANT to start giving instead, then that want/desire/ego is the propelent for the change in behavior. How could I ever give, without an ego? Wouldn't I have to WANT to give, a.k.a, desire to give? At the end of any enlightened giving session, it would have been done for the long lasting pleasure recieved; which of course is self satisfaction. Which of course is the definition of ego.

[goldbergthe]

lol im a christian but this guy has good points :-P

[juandeldiablo696]

talk for you selfs !!!

[aczblaze]

This is Great I it makes sense to me why am I always chasing a high like smoking weed I need to pass that shit around and bestow my pleasure to them

[juanp2222]

@aczblaze hahahhahahah

[truemind]

Helping others can be an expression of the ego too: affirming a positive opinion of yourself, feeling someone else needs you, etc.

[SampsonandSimba25]

Because satisfaction comes from what we believe in. Our beliefs are based on what we hear, what we see and what we think. Before you can be satisfied you need to know who you are and what you want to hear, see and think. Pleasure is the act of satisfaction. Life has it's pleasures and disappointments we all need the motivation which comes from beliefs.

[Crazed1255]

LIFE IS NOT ABOUT HAVING WHATEVER YOU WANT, ITS ABOUT LEARNING TO LIVE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. PERSPECTIVE IS EVERYTHING

[AAV47]

Lost all meaning to life. The world has nothing to offer me. I have nothing to offer the world. Shitty feeling.

[RumuhAlg]

haha, when im fasting I feel just like he explained. First bite is pure pleasure, second bite is good, so is the third, and at last it´s nothing special anymore. Before beginning to eat, I feel like I can eat the entire kitchen :)

[yoooyoyooo]

Yeah but. I fulfilled a lot of other people "needs" and yet after some time ego satisfaction and gratification fades a way and you are back to square one. How do you solve that ? The truth is that minds are bottomless pits and whatever you do you cant fill it up. So basically freedom comes by stopping the process all together. That means renouncing the mind all together. At least thats what I think.

[Stringyheads]

Realy good presentations (In my opinion) it helps explain a bit.

Im studying a book called (The Happiness Trap) By Dr Russ Harris M.D. it explains why people can become very sad or depressed trying to chase happiness, Also how our tribe has become much larger through media etc. (Its a very good book for anyone going through hard times or just wants a bit more understanding of their own thoughts and i always look for other info like this here.

When one gets a good log of info they can decide.

[Bidmartinlo]

I don't feel pleasure to give to some people, I will be satisfied when the rest of humanity is satisfied. That will take a long time! It is possible though. :D

[tuttrussify]

I just scratched my nose for no reason whatsoever!

[MsVenaLuna]

It was good until the example bit about the steak (Because you wouldn't lose interest that quickly and would still be satisfied for quite a while) =)

[accidentsinspace]

@MsVenaLuna All you think about is food. You gannet.

[myolieta]

Y so many religion in the world..

[aclloydz]

@myolieta Because everyone wants there own control over another.

[normajeanmartyr]

pleasure in others desires? like the elite, we become working slaves for free

[hwankyulee114]

As will smith said, "Your life will become better, if you make other people's lives better." 

[LironPrincess]

Zohar.

connecting people

;)

LECHAIM!!!

only together

[LanteanKnight]

He sounds like Jeremy Bentham.

Or does Jeremy Bentham sound like him, did Bentham borrow some ideas from Kabbalah?

[philanthromagician]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!

[aljiwah]

KabbalistAreInOnlyHalfwayOfThe­irHigherSelf

[DouglasLee777]

That is not a question, it is a presupposition that causes the people you are supposed to be enlightening into buying into your belief that we are never satisfied and is part of the reason that you are blind to the truth. Most people are satisfied and comfortably numb state of inaction. Most people don't move until fear of pain, perceived pain or pain causes them to move. Just look at society. The smallest percentage of human achievement comes from pursuit of pleasure.

[DouglasLee777]

WRONG! We do more to avoid pain than gain pleasure. It is a bigger evolutionary drive.

[PsiKidPower]

the reason why we aren't satisfied because we always want what ever gets us into that feeling of being in "heaven" or pleasure. you subconsciously want to feel that heaven on earth by addictions and satisfying physical needs. the only pleasure that will last you a lifetime is to practice meditation, and stay in the present moment, that means still you mind of thoughts. im satisfied about life 90% of the time, cuz i find pleasure in being in the NOW. :)

[Tyrfingr]

Presenting beliefs as facts doesnt make it a fact to others though, but a theory. Belief i think can best be defined as a personally aquired explanation. Fact is many times a dangerous word to attach ones beliefs to.

[byakuugan86]

A baby who has never experienced happiness would not understand the concept of suffering.

[beserker5]

Wrong ! The brain is not a empty slate but a process of making connections. We know pain and pleasure. Learning is the process of associating A to pleasure and B to pain, etc...

[vechio80]

A baby experienced happines even before he was born. Thats what give him human quality, of course for a baby in the whomb the happines is not a ferrari, maybe is just the relaxation of his mother when she is in the shower.

[sarapovas]

It's the other way around, but your right

[o1LilJan]

Aehm.. If you're suffering, you're probably hurt physical. When kids react on pain, they cry. Thats just the way nature is. They aren't used to pain so they just let it out without controlling them selfs, i think it probably seems like the easiest way to overcome that feeling.. Like when your toe hits that nasty leg of you table and you just screams OUCH! without recognizing... Pain and pleassure are two different things, very different...

[arrogantworms1]

I like how your opinion is presented as fact...

[jdmx3]

Material satisfation is temporary,everyone has got this experience,Thus trying to saitsfy the senses does not make one satisfyedScience means observation and experiment,Spiritual science means the same you do a observation and you do the experiment to find the truth,not that you blindly follow. Results must be there.trying to satisfy The soul in relationship with God is permanent satisfaction.Thus when the eternal soul is satified,you allways remain happy.go to the isckon temple, do the experi..

[01jcgc]

I do things for others and I hate it. I dont really feel any better. Why?

[hakeemslife]

You don't get pleasure out of satisfying others. You should do things for people for yourself, not for them. I know it sounds selfish, but it's YOUR life and you'd still be doing the same thing, just gaining satisfaction.

[reverenceforall]

Thank you for this knowledge. I t has taught me a lot about who I am.

[uriel69879]

you can't kill your ego, just try and persuade it to let go of the newly aquired power which it grips so tightly. We are our egos. Its the very thing that seperates us from the garden, the id.

[guycallens]

yeah this is the trick to peace of mind, kill the egoistic features of you, kill your needs and kill your desires

[JellOFishi]

I try to take everything I hear, dissect it, and take out the good bits for me. This is the first video re kabbalah which contained some bits that made sense. thank you.

[YourTrybalQueen]

I read somewhere a long time ago that while miracles do occur spontaneously on occasion that most of the time, they are the result of states of perturbation. You have brought that precept back to mind.

[rosettast0ned]

?? its not mind control techniques. its your level of understanding. a person can never have preliminary knowledge of kabbalah because it was only revealed in 1995 when people wanted real answers to real questions.

[khronosdf]

well answered buddy

[itsfelix]

What if we don't need to bestow other peoples desire's because they have been already done so? What do we do then?

[meeeeeeee8]

So, we can only feel long-lasting pleasure by fufilling everyone else's needs?

[RemBot2000]

@meeeeeeee8 That's what society wants you to think. Religion teaches that "moral" is sacrificing what you've earned, to those that haven't.

"Man—every man—is an end in himself, not the means to the ends of others. He must exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself. The pursuit of his own rational self-interest and of his own happiness is the highest moral purpose of his life."

[maxflyingcowboy]

@meeeeeeee8 i think so. and the more we have the more we are unsatisfied because we get used to the benefits from enjoying something.

[PerfectDecalibration]

@meeeeeeee8 No. What he means by bestowing to others is more complicated. He means bestowing to others for the sake of the benefit of the whole of humanity or "the Creator". He does NOT mean by fulfilling other people's EGOISTIC needs. :)

[JonMJ]

Narcissism leads to nihilism.

[0no1one]

... how can you say that!? one grants that you are obsessivly self important, the other that everything is ultimatly and essentially untimportant. I see no link whatsoever. I dont even see how it could be compatible at all

[catalinuta]

there is a connection - they both start with the letter "N". ;)

[sudnaidu]

There has to be a problem with those whom you are "bestowing" upon, they too will have to have "needs". You can't really "bestow" someone the spiritual pleasure of helping others. All you can "bestow" to others is the satisfaction of their lower desires. So basically you satisfy a higher desire by satisfying the lower desires of others. It is not really a good ideology.

[barzabill]

Are you suggesting you have to become a slut to get spiritual enlightment?

[sudnaidu]

That is to say, how can you "give" to others when no one needs anything anymore. How can you enjoy giving to others if there is no one left who needs to have anything given to them? This video is designed for selfish people who cannot contemplate cooperation, and aim towards lofty desires of being some form of "saviour" to all those miserable people around them (total ego boosting mentality focused around being "a higher being" or a "benevolant" being).

[sudnaidu]

You see this video assumes that selfishness is at the core of the human psyche, but they are mistaken. Selfishness and desire for money and pleasure is a reality that is only true for certain, ahem, "types" of people.

[sudnaidu]

Yeah, and about "enlightenment" - If you want pleasure and happiness then sometimes you might make the mistake of thinking that enlightenment has to do with these feelings. God does not serve petty desires for "happiness" and "pleasure" - he serves life and survival.

[Jayhawkblue]

I am down with Kabbalah@!

[Astromundi]

I don't care of if its Kabbala or not, though that's interesting, but the dude is basically right on. Egoic needs are, like he says, a whole dance of pleasure and pain that go on and on. And I think he's right, too, that the pleasure of serving others is a never-ending pleasure (as long as you still consider your own egoic needs well enough). The more simple your lifestyle, the easier that will be.

[imslicc]

this is the law of nature, and none of the monetarism propaganda will deny it.

[vicariousli]

lol im just expressing how much i need to know whether kabbalah is within space/time or forever

[OTVIIIClear]

Always look on the briiiight siiiiide of life!

[vicariousli]

its not so much the acceptance of kabbalah, im talking about the puzzle piece of the collective whole, when the ego's desire to become the collective whole in other words 'nature' 'god' the desire is utilized corrected when the intention of filling that desire is for the whole of nature. no ones forcing you to believe in kabbalah, you believe in it to the extent that you desire to see unity so badly.

[OTVIIIClear]

And about purpose. You seem to have adopted a belief that the sole purpose of everyone's life is exactly the purpose held by the writers of kabbala. And so you have chosen only YOUR purpose for life. Many people (I venture to say "most") move from one purpose to another. Some concede that to quell the hunger in their bellies is purpose enuf.

"you are confirming that this world was built for (certain purposes)."

Yeah, NO. And please don't infer a builder. It's so anthropomorphizing.

[vicariousli]

nothing written in kabbalah has nothing to do with with the writer himself. the answer to "what is the meaning of life" is already above him.

in other words "the first step on the spiritual ladder is already above" what your ego believes, and what it can not: pure eternal pleasure.

i mean where not gonna lie to ourselves and say that the answer to life can be found within this life right?

you don't have to call it kabbalah you know. you either desire for something beyond life or not.

[vicariousli]

because when you recognize yourself as a piece to the puzzle you begin to care for all the over missing puzzle pieces around you :)

different purposes for our own lives? you are confirming that this world was built for mutual isolation, separation, suffering, and nothing but one question.

[vicariousli]

which came first, even if you knew the answer what would you do with it? nothing, because the answer to that is meaningless and you should be focusing on the one question humanity is running away from: "what is the purpose of life?"

[OTVIIIClear]

Some people realize that the purpose of life is -wait for it- to find your purpose! Once someone is alive, it's their choice what is important. Problem is that you can't shake this idea that there's got to be a specific, all-encompassing purpose for living. What makes you believe this? The only thing the Kabbalah will tell you is what it's writers' purposes for life were. You decide whether that makes sense to you, justified or not. The real question is, why is their purpose 'more correct'?

[vicariousli]

your absolutely right! we all have different paths, different stories to tell, and at climax of these stories the characters are faced with one last question.

the thing is because of this question everyone is absolutely equal. like you implied there is no 'more correct' purpose, because there is only one purpose, and with it one question.

kabbalah has nothing to do with this world, because the answer to that one question we all have is already above this world. above our perception.

[spannerchops]

Never Be satisfyed?

What'd you call Enlightenment?

[vicariousli]

What do you call enlightenment? a fulfillment that last forever, in that case, the goal of kabbalah and the answer to the purpose of our lives.

[romanempiresucks]

I m often satisfied and I would like to think thats a good thing....

[FieldsofYaru]

the whole world should watch this and we would grow as human beings. i cannot believe this video only has less than 15,000 views. i believe it is because the title is difficult to pass on to others. maybe change the title because no one wants to admit they are unsatisfied and that is why they watched it.

[aclloydz]

@FieldsofYaru . Water is the paint for the canvas-the canvas is conscienceness and emotion is control of the brush to create our reality. Waves of intent travel in fractal vortexes 1.618 finding their vibrational match allowing the flow of manifestation

[gymclasshero88]

@FieldsofYaru i am unsatisfied and that is why i watched this video. i am trying to get rid of the ego. my ego.

[MrTheYoussef]

@FieldsofYaru damn you are so freaking right but i don't care am gonna share it on facebook :)

[adiisu]

the man provided an example that does make sense and he make a point that every one can understand.

[ododidit]

Wow...

[DayDreamAtNight]

This guy is smart.

[MrTheYoussef]

@DayDreamAtNight Everyone is smart in their own ways

[paindoll]

Well, 80% of our choices are of something we don't want, because we are afraid of the consequences! This happens on a big scale on a subconscious level!

[Theratinthehouse]

good stuff

[moome1649]

Here's the answer! If We're always satisfied there will be no challenge in the world and life for you will be boring cause you'll get used to it...

[waltwide]

Top packaging & presentation for a very clear thing.., a surfing viewer lingers on and get's the message. I like it.

[Jame243]

He is very good at explaining everything! I enjoy listening to him! And I pay attention!

[greecho13]

so how do we get pleassure? teach me more.. how do I do it? how how how? I wanna learn to lose my "ego" and I wanna be spiritual and learn I hunger more knowledge!!! please make more videos!!! TEACH US!!! TEACH ME!! THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME. I still beleive in jesus and what he stood for because what he stood for I think realates to the meaning of all of this. BE GOOD peace

[GBcancer]

there is no harm in believing in jesus, or any prophets. Until it becomes a fight for blood lines or land, the messages jesus had were very ground breaking for that time period... just as martin luther king was ground breaking for us... if in 500 years people doubt that martin luther king truly existed, then your silly for not realizing the point of preserving his stories is for the lessons, not to search endlessly for the tie he wore when he gave the speech!

[iolml]

I picked a family that had broken down, had no money, no gas, saw that they looked more broke than I did...drove them home, they said thanks...uh...i did it not to feel that warm fuzzy feeling, I did it cause I did it...I did it cause i hope someone would do it for my family...even though they probably wouldn't based on your theories here...

[Chesed30]

Yeah... that's egoistically. You did it because you want someone to help your family when they are in need. And you expect: Hmmm... if I do good deeds maybe one day I will get something out of it. Perfect example for calculation.

[eujuan]

i see a replacement for religion. finally, a reason of to live spiritually without any doubts.. everything is explained so clearly with a good reason & I see a cure/ solution to world peace...

Keep it up!! Love to all...

[morbicious]

Keep those videos coming. It really strikes a chord with the higher consciousness movement. Good job.

[StuffMcB]

LOVE

[taraghb]

Excellent video and message. And beautifully crafted. Thank you!

[radurak]

I think these videos are not bad.

I mean i wouldn't say one should buy every word and take it for truth. Just a very good starting point, and good thoughts here.

The guy presents it well.

[ShashonaMiriam]

I certainly could relate to this video! Thanks!

[islenodelcaribe]

he gotta it going on

[rainbowvis]

Great video!!!!!
