Good things to think about, but found it a bit long-winded and drawn out. Maybe it's just that I prefer having my own thoughts on things, rather than being told what to think about them.

Here is the full list of Musashi's principles, up front:

1. Accept everything just the way it is.
2. Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.
3. Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling.
4. Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.
5. Be detached from desire your whole life long.
6. Do not regret what you have done.
7. Never be jealous.
8. Never let yourself be saddened by a separation.
9. Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself or others.
10. Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love.
11. In all things have no preferences.
12. Be indifferent to where you live.
13. Do not pursue the taste of good food.
14. Do not hold on to possessions you no longer need.
15. Do not act following customary beliefs.
16. Do not collect weapons or practice with weapons beyond what is useful.
17. Do not fear death.
18. Do not seek to possess either goods or fiefs for your old age.
19. Respect Buddha and the gods without counting on their help.
20. You may abandon your own body but you must preserve your honor.
21. Never stray from the way.

The Book of Five Rings ISBN# 9781590302484
Musashi's Dokkodo ISBN# 9780692563496

Probably the most valuable books in my possession by way of the knowledge both contains. The quintessence upon which both my shinken and bamboo cane style is based.

He's still brainwashed on that. To me that does not invalidate his channel. I knew that was in there and almost didnt post this because I knew this would come up. He has things of value to say beyond his schooling on WW2. Musashi has nothing to do w the jews or that war or the rest of that subject. I personally have the ability to watch this and disregard his vilification of WW2 Germany.

I know, if you skip ahead the video is still quality production

it really pisses me off how these Kosher channels produce good shit but politically they poison the well no doubt for favorable coverage from the jewtube overlords
he could've used Communism or but nope, gotta be those evul nazis...

hell, any channel with a (((verified))) checkmark is probably a jew or a shabbos goy who knelt to jews

and there was a lotta good channels over the years who knelt to jews...

but regardless it's good content, just like sometimes i wanna unsub from (((Invicta)))'s zionist channel, the content he produces is fairly informative, albit stealthfully packed with subversion...
