RE: Universe, God, Good and Evil Explained in Two Minutes
I haven't read Heidegger, so I cannot comment on his works. But as I often heard, he influenced many people with his philosophy. I preferably listen to buddhist monks to get my share of spiritual and philosophical material. They are quite interesting and intelligent people.

If you appreciate eastern philosophy, you would enjoy Heidegger. Try his essay on metaphysics. Of course, he really has more in common with Taoism than Buddhism, but still. His work is definitely on that spectrum.
Oh, thank you very much to point that out. That makes Heidegger more interesting for me. I will hopefully find the time to read his essay on metaphysics.
Right now I am more concentrating myself on handy works, like teaching myself to sew. It can be a meditative work, even the "Schneidersitz" reminded me on the meditation posture but had practical reasons for the sewer who, when working for hours on seams, had to find a posture where he could sew without getting back pain and using his knee or upper leg to put the fabric on. Quite fascinating. I like it a lot to do a work which repeats itself - it's another form of becoming calm.
What do you do for balancing?
It never hurts to have practical skills! They increase self confidence and survivability outside of the system (which could become important of society goes the way of China).
Music is my therapy. I am keyboard improvisor. I studied composition as an undergraduate, but didn't pursue it further, academically. But I work out my issues on the keyboards and I post my music to my podcast and YouTube.
