Asatru Folk Assembly - Action over Attainment #afa #asatru #asatrufolkassembly #shorts

00:00:00.000 the concept of a nobleman choosing to not do noble stuff but go sit under a tree

00:00:11.120 and calcify wasting his life for some kind of spiritual attainment that he doesn't actually

00:00:19.600 use in a productive way it hurts my feelings on a lot of different levels you know there's

00:00:26.480 idea in buddhism about developing the diamond body and you know you do this thing to make yourself

00:00:33.360 awesome for what purpose because you don't do anything with it you don't take it out of the box

00:00:39.600 like what's the point it's like the let's get an action figure and just put it up on the wall like

00:00:44.960 no you take it out of the thing and you play with it you make it do stuff that's it's an action

00:00:48.640 figure it's an inaction figure sitting on the wall suffering well and that's that's the thing

00:00:54.560 all the suffering in the world well you're a prince go do prince stuff and alleviate suffering

00:01:00.480 go conquer the villains and you know slay evil and provide justice and food for your people and

00:01:10.560 you have a responsibility and to abdicate that to claim that you are spiritually enlightened 0.88

00:01:16.880 because you are useless and have made yourself useless and again they would characterize this 0.56

00:01:23.520 very differently than i am but i think that is a fundamental difference in understanding in house 0.98

00:01:29.280 of true and in eastern variants that might have a an arian root way back when the key is action

00:01:38.080 we are our deeds not our thoughts the point of gaining wisdom is to implement action is to be

00:01:46.000 successful is to win it's not to disappear into nothingness yeah the squandering of that is is

00:01:54.880 is a tragedy and not something inspirational to my to my reading or to my understanding
