YOU ARE NOT DEPRESSED, STOP IT! (2025)
About this video
Prince Ea argues that viewers should distinguish between their core identity and temporary emotional states like depression. He uses the metaphor of the sky and passing clouds to illustrate that emotions come and go while the observer remains constant. Prince Ea teaches that identifying with temporary states causes suffering, whereas recognizing oneself as the witness of these states brings freedom.
