what is stupid about a change of scenery to change a man's disposition?
you can make a man depressed by altering his surroundings so why would it not work in reverse

I reject the notion of pilgrimage. Going to X landmark to grow.
Changing a men disposition doesn't mean he has to go to sacred mystic land.
It is EVERYBODY on rural/nature abundant areas, happy and deep spirited people? No. There's still miserable people.
Can THOSE people, change their disposition by going to a city area? Absolutely.
What I'm opposed to, is the notions that "City dwelling- to -nature" is the path for spiritual understanding/life changing. There's no evidence that "Nature- to -city dwelling" doesn't work too, and in fact, it does work.
You can tell this man is spiritually insecure, unlike me. I shall will digits with my mind alone, as I am spiritually in tune with the universe, and my universe.
Nah that guy was a idiot with a dudebro version of spirituality, basically thinks they can walk into the wilderness and be granted introspection and spiritual awakening.
Its a pursuit of the inner self, not an escape from the societal one, where the only change was the physical environment and what you have access to and not a single introspective thought.
The natural conclusion you get from Walden is that doing the thing HDT did is stupid and empty unless you're doing it together with someone else - a family, a tribe. Living alone in the nature is not a bliss - we humans are communicative beings, without it we falter as is evident by story.
I was watching something about this couple that were living in a converted bus with solar panels on the roof for power. Honestly thinking of doing it. I'm never going to get a house.
adolescence is admiring this guy
young adulthood is thinking he's a moron
adulthood is thinking he's a moron but still respecting him because he had the balls to leave it all behind
You need a guide to achieve real spiritual awakening.
With the spread of materialism(both left and right are guilty of this) and the worship of God Money, a real spiritual master like Gurdjeff, to make an example, is all but impossible to find.
Read Ouspenski and hus copycat, Castaneda to kinda understand what you need for a spiritual awakening.
Also while Castaneda kinda makes it about a (mostly made up) shamanic tradition, Gurdjeff used to teach in cities etc., the place did not matter.
If you just go innawoods you're just in for a very bad time.
You're welcome.
Btw, read the Ouspenskij books first, because his own books are kinda "out there" because like many other spiritual guides, he was a bit of a troll.
>having to go somewhere to achieve spirituality
this book and beatnik type shit in general is written by the most ironic shallow morons
that film is about a complete unspiritual moron that managed to get himself killed.
Says in
front of a computer
>You will find spirituality and a deeper understanding of your inner self.... If you go outside to X landmark and do X things away from your home!
yes.
>what is pilgrimage
I mocked the stupidity of it, not questioned it's existence

I've achieved enlightenment by spending hours a day on Cinemaphile and pondering existence. Watch how I can conjure repeating digits with my mind.

I have let go of my earthly tether, and now command the matching numbers

At least we got an iconic photo out of it
Why didn't he just eat the bugs?

I wish I could do it, I'm so fricking tired of this society of morons.
I'm so sick of c**ts on their phones. it drives me crazy.
If you go live in the parallel society of homelessness you'll see some real moronation

That guy was an idiot. But his sacrifice gave us an awesome soundtrack.

It's easy to leave everything behind, if you don't have to worry about everything you leave behind because you hate it
>It's easy to leave everything behind, if you've been brainwashed into hating your upper-middle class lifestyle by israeli propaganda
Movies more or less related to what you wrote:
Richard Proenneke's stuff
Wild
Leave no Trace
Grizzly Man (somewhat)
Ted K (underrated movie honestly)
Timothy CHADwell >>> Alexander SuperCuck
I will never forgive Werner Herzog for not releasing the tape of Timmy getting eaten by the bear.
Its only audio, apparently
Swiss Army Man
grave of the fireflies
how did he even starve to death?
you can go weeks without eating as long as you have water
he must have been physically week
his energy was spent on fapping all day because there was nothing else to do
too physically weak to get water
Never won't be funny how it makes anons seethe. How dare this guy go outside and die! Literally worse than Hitler.

Guide these dubs homie
Never heard of Gurdjeff, reading about him now, he seems interesting. Thanks for sharing anon.
You're welcome.

not set in the present day but Jeremiah Johnson (1972).
Enlightenment comes from within, not without. Only a fool expects to achieve it through travel.
Without what?
