Marcus Aurelius' Meditations for Modern Life

Do little...but to do a great deal!

The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a remarkable series of spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. While the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and readers throughout the centuries. Whilst many of his reflections and ways to live life were based on the teachings of earlier philosophers from the Socratics to the early Stoics, Marcus Aurelius strove to live his life by the principles of his philosophy and in his Meditations articulated those views in a way that remains one of the greatest books of wisdom to have graced the Earth.

Marcus considers the human soul and what happens to it after death. Although science may tell us more now on what happens to the elements and matter as lives come and go, the question of the soul in a spiritual context still remains. Is the soul of Marcus not living on through the impact his wisdom still has on lives today?

This is not a Meditations episode but is a short story which contains some of the concepts and wisdom shared in episodes of this podcast. I am sharing this one here as it is the first, but I plan to write many more using these concepts but future ones will be read on my Adzfitness on Human Behaviour, Psychology and Mental Health podcast.

In this episode we look at Marcus reflects on praise and critisicm and raises the concept of beauty and how in nature it is unaffected by praise and thus why should our own actions and perceptions of ourselves be affected by the praise or critisicm of others.

In this passage Marcus reminds himself of not being concerned with the thoughts and actions of others. When we are judging those actions of others we are taking ourselves out of a state of gratitude and balance, taking us away from inspiration and acting at a lower level of conciousness. Learn how being infactuated or holding resentment to another will be of harm to you and how to instead use these emotions to analyse our own character for good.

Trauma - This one goes deep! I really hope this helps others as I share some personal experiences that led to me to philosophy and a desire to understand the mind in the first place. We forget how trauma is the result not of an event itself but our perception to it. Whilst that is something we can change it is not always easy! But understanding how the mind cycles thoughts, the triggers for those thoughts and how our perceptions can change is implementation of philosophy and implementation of philosophy itself is the key to overcoming trauma!

Would you live your life differently if we could count down the years and days until we depart life in much the same way as you can count the years and days from when your life began?

Are you currently having disputes with loved ones, family or friends? Perhaps you feel you have been wronged, but do you react to that with the same virtue and character you would without any anger or resentment for what another has done to you? We will not be alive forever and is it not important to make the most of the time that we have and to know that when we do depart we have done all we could to display ourselves as just and with virtue be it for our own souls peace or to lead by example to those who may have wronged you?

Our minds, that common constitution. Why are laws set the way that they are? What would a world be like if all humans could empathise with each other to the extent that another pain was felt as if it were your own? What if we all had the ability to make every single decision based on objective reason alone, each desiring with every choice and action what is best, not for us or for the immediate future, but for the greater good of all?

Praise - Praise of course is great, it helps to reinforce that we are doing things well! But, what happens if we become too accustomed to praise? It may start to have a negative impact, not only because the elation will only be temporary, but like a high can then bring a greater down due to the flip in the emotional state, thus praise itself can become addictive. What's more, constant praise to any of us, even if you perceive yourself as being humble, can negatively impact how we interact with others and our own objective thoughts and decisions.

The final passage of book 3!

I could not believe what I read when I opened the book to read this passage!

If you have seen the Republic for Modern Life videos and thus know the details of events in my own life you will have a great context for the amazing ability the universe is showing myself right now to align things. Those videos are on the same youtube channel as the link below, which is to a more recent video which I uploaded the day prior to recording this podcast, a video discussing why the Chief Crime Commissioner and Deputy Mayor of West Yorkshire, is using the Police Force as part of the agenda outlined in the Republic for Modern Life. Of course the content of that video, if in the right hands will lead to justice for myself and many others resulting in her imprisonment. It therefore is not a coincidence that she has used the police force once more in an attempt to stop me doing what is right. The same evening, after the video was uploaded, at 11:15pm, the police rang by buzzer and I manage to avoid letting them in as you will hear in this episode. But it is because of this content that they will now stop at nothing to make sure I am silenced and their lies and corruption stay hidden in Yorkshire and thus attempting to save themselves and their police chief, Alison Lowe, from imprisonment. It really is incredible for the timing to be such that this passage is read the following day at this time!

Here is the referenced video which was uploaded the day prior to this episode:

A passage that leads to why the thief or one who causes harm without receiving justice will suffer in the long run. What we have always known as karma, is not just a random thing, we know have science that can explain how that lack of justice for a unjust act will manifest and harm the perpetrator who does not receive justice.

The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a remarkable series of spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. While the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and readers throughout the centuries.

Thoughts that bother you! Your reactions to things that are said which invoke negative emotions are only so because of our own beliefs, perceptions and previous wounds. What can the thoughts though and emotions we feel relating to things others say of or to us tell us about ourselves? Also learn why things that provoke those emotions will continue to be brought into your life until you understand what your reaction to them is really trying to tell you!

Update Description

This one is a little off topic for regular listeners to my podcasts, but on listening it will give you an insight into objective opinion, socratic search for the truth and I can finally reveal what had consumed so much of my own life and time last year that a led to me taking the extended break from recording podcasts as well as my having to leave Leeds for two months at the end of last year.

The story of the theft of the David Oluwale blue plaque in Leeds the day after its unveiling has gripped the city, it is being described as a "hate crime" and has led to national attention as a result. This audio will explain how a hate crime or a crime that is racially motivated is, whilst indeed possible, the most unlikely of 4 possible scenarios, the last of which will highlight an agenda and discrimination of another kind, a kind that is at play right now and is the leading cause of West Yorkshire and Leeds in particular having a male suicide rate that is far higher than anywhere else in the UK, indeed it is why that rate is double that of London.

I do know that in releasing this I may indeed risk my own life, but in such an event the evidence which I have ensured is multiple places will come out and if that is needed to put an end to this dark shadow that has settled over society and my life is sacrificed for the saving of many others then, well as Marcus Aurelius would think himself, if my life which is but a spec in time ends in order to serve the greater good, then that is the way it must be.
