Thanks a lot for sharing your insights. Don't you think you been a pluralist has to disagree with both exclusivits and inclusivits. Similarly the disagree with you. You find the positions weird they might find your positions weird. If you are criticizing them because the force their worldview even you imagine of a world where your worldview of pluralism is dominant. That's just the way it works. Bina pluralist doesn't make you virtuous it's very similar to vegetarians claiming to be non violent. Thanks

Thank you for the video. I believe there are pluralists in every religion. However, if you read history, many religions in the subcontinent were not truly pluralistic, as seen in the Vaishnavite vs Shaivite rivalry. After the colonial experience, reformists in the subcontinent started incorporating pluralist ideas, especially for Western audiences. I am not a pluralist; I believe the truth is with God. I might be wrong in my beliefs about Islam, but based on the knowledge I have accumulated, I believe I am on the right path. However, I also believe you can definitely reach God outside of Islam. Islam is not the only way to understand the truth. I wish you good luck on your path. Please keep sharing this knowledge. Thank you.

Those dates get my inner numerological conspiracy theorist scratching it's chin...

thumbnail is so unhinged 😭 but nice deconstruction as always.

You're a very down to earth and engaging speaker. Great video. This help put things in an approachable and feasible perspective. Also, could you maybe clarify what exactly you meant by "being okay with ourselves"? Is that just in reference to laying the foundations of the practice or is that meaning some other personal work that needs to be done?

I’m new to meditation. I was introduced through Byron Katie’s the work.

I was lookin for this typa vid for years. Thx bro

6:00 muhammad was figuring things out as he went but it was nonsense from the beginning

6:56

I'm 16 minutes into that video and still don't know what the guy is arguing for.

This is very basic, maybe you have not interacted with any atheists at all, because not all atheists claim "there is no God" but know there are different spectrum of atheism and dofferent labels, for example there are "agnostic atheist" which i think majority of us are, basically the position is, there is no good evidence for god, but i dont know for certain there isn't. There are also different definitions of "God": theistic, deistic, and pantheistic. I think most atheists do not believe in God in the THEISTIC SENSE like albert einstein.

To address the argument that morality is purely subjective, contingent on human existence, and that without humans or sentient life, concepts of good and evil would cease to exist, one might refine the Christian perspective as follows: This stance challenges the non-duality argument by underscoring that the objective basis for moral values transcends human perception, anchored in the immutable character of a transcendent, personal God. The assertion that morality disappears in the absence of life misunderstands the nature of moral laws as reflections of this divine nature, rather than mere social constructs. By analogy, just as physical laws like gravity exist independently of human recognition, moral laws exist as part of the fabric of reality, grounded in God’s existence and character. The Christian rebuttal to the notion of morality’s subjectivity and the contingency on sentient life emphasizes that moral truths are not predicated on human experience but on the eternal, unchanging nature of God. Thus, good and evil retain their objective reality and distinction, irrespective of human awareness, reaffirming the necessity of distinguishing between them within a coherent, objective moral order. This perspective challenges the relativistic view by asserting that moral values, much like the laws of logic and mathematics, hold true universally and are discoverable through engagement with the divine essence that underpins reality, offering a robust framework for understanding moral obligations and human dignity beyond mere social consensus.

You should visit St Anthony of the Desert Orthodox Monastary

You sound like you are a completely confused individual, talking nonsense about things to ultimately don't understand. At least some people admit to their believe or admit to not knowing. You on the other hand are full of waffle.

What is your definition of 'non-duality?"

Christopher, I am not sure I understand how you are defining "Duality" and "Non-Duality" in this discussion. Are you talking about dualism in there being a God of light/good and a God of dark/evil? Are you talking about dualism spiritual/mind and material/body? It feels to me like you are defining non-dualism as dualism, except you are mixing completely different definitions of dualism which do not mix. Next point, you do not understand what an Atheist is. This is very clear from what you are saying. An Atheist is anyone who does not believe any Deity exists outside the imagination of people. That is the only thing that defines an Atheist. There are Atheist Buddhists, Atheist spiritualists, Atheist Capitalists, Atheist Communists, etc., etc., etc. The variety of beliefs within Atheists is huge, because the only thing required to be an atheist is to "Not Believe In Any Deity". Many Atheists are open to believing in a Deity if someone will provide to them an argument which will convince them some Deity exists. You, Christopher, are virtually certain to be a partial Atheist, because it is exceedingly probable that you do not believe in the vast majority of Deities other people have believed in throughout human history. Next point is that religion is a person's worldview and is about a person developing their worldview for how the world works, why it works, how they should behave in that world, etc. Organized religions are formed when a group agrees upon some common worldviews. People began to try and differentiate between a religious worldview and a real worldview over the issue of saying "since my worldview is real, it is not religious, but since your worldview is not real, it is a religion". The thing is, each person or group of people who agree upon a common worldview they believe is real think that, well, THEIR WORLDVIEW IS REAL. Point being, everyone developing their worldview is seeking the REAL worldview and this has been true as long as humans have been humans. In fact, it was true before humans became humans and when you learn how intelligence works and how intelligence evolved, humans are not the only intelligent beings with worldviews. Next point is what the definition of God, Goddess, Deity. People like to reduce this word to mean a very strictly limited narrow part of what the word means. God is an honorific title given by those who believe the object of that title deserves that title. Those believers define their God, not anyone else. It is then up to non-believers in some defined God whether they believe that God is real, imaginary, or a mixture being partly real and partly imaginary. The next point is on how we determine what is real from what is imagined. Since childhood I could imagine full sensory hallucinations with such detail that at times I could not differentiate between what was imagined and what was real. This led to serious problems for me when I had nightmares, because I would wake up still in the nightmare and it would appear real to me that the nightmare was continuing, including sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch; including pain. So, for example, if I was imaging my hand was burning, I felt excruciating pain, smelled burning flesh, and would be screaming in panic. I had to learn how to tell the difference between what was imagined and what was real. I also had to learn to control my dreams. It took several years, but by my early teens I gained full control of this problem and have never had a nightmare since. Still, when I want, I can focus my mind and create waking hallucinations which are under my control which are so vivid they rival my sensory perception of reality. That is, by the way, how I can tell the difference, because when I am hallucinating a reality I can control it but reality is a consistent existence which I cannot control with my mind. What has made the religion of science & technology so successful is having been able to prove to so many people that so much of it is real and not imagined. You are also humancentric, making yourself blind to things like the fact that other animals are self-aware intelligent beings who understand things like good vs bad and have their own worldview, which might be vastly simpler than a humans worldview but is still a worldview.

The guy (the guy who has spent a zillion hours imitating Christopher Hitchens dialogue delivery) who comes up at 5:20 is an arsehole. Typical of the arseholes who believe everything that Christopher Hitchens said is TRUTH. HC-JAIPUR (10/Apr/2024) .

Looking at some of the current research into the evolution of religious beliefs from hunter gathers to civilizations, one can understand how religions came about. Many folks have their religion thrown at them from childhood, so those beliefs get tied to their self identity. As folks get older, it's harder for them to change values tied to their identity.

I'm an acosmic panentheist mystic, i don't think the physical world exists, Then what are you then? Consciousness? Awareness? Breath? Thought? Everything? nothing?

Your channel is so underrated it should have more views

Once you gain some insight into non duality, there is no more need to argue about whose religion or non religion is right. All are aspects of the one Truth

Those who are interested in life they tend to be interested in nonduality!

Nice one.Exploring into nature. Life is all beauty!

Tao is the only underlying current of life.When one enquires life you come across Tao.

It seems you a blessed person. You are well aware of various aspects of a religious life. I have also read Swami.Ranganathanan's work.

You are involved with a great wisdom concerned with life.Understanding you you understand all.Thanks for your presentation

'The day we separated ourselves from the nature all the troubles have come into-U.G.Krishnamurti'

Presenting a great enquiry! A human being is supposed to come to this place where you point to.These questions will resolve many conflicts that the humanity is confronted with.

Nature is great order that order or intelligence may be called nonduality. We are also interested in nonduality. One energy expresses itself in many ways that is manifestation. Human beings everywhere have the same inspiration and construct.Promoting nonduality means only you are with the Existence. May all goodness be with you.

Are you familiar with the virtual space known as TLC? (This Little Corner). John Vervaeke, Paul Vanderklay, or Jonathan Pageau?

Great video

2:06 Never make a preview longer than 30 seconds, going over at most 2 highlights. How many did you make? 7? Man, I didn't even hear how you start your case, why would I want to hear half a dozen conclusions that you had?

thanks Christopher. I've been closely meditating (in my way) and reading about non-dualism for several weeks / months now. I fell off the 'train of rationale' of "all is one" with the obvious discovery that all is fractured. It may have been one once, but it's not today in my world. And yet, there are moments -- you refer to as non-duality -- where I'm simply present, I relax, be myself and see things as they are and include myself in this reality ... and all is good. During the time of Babel, languages divided us. Language is another delusion or perhaps illusion - better stated - we use as a tool, NOT as an artificial self, we extend to others. When I communicate and receive communication I extend and receive myself and another. And together in harmony or accord, we are 'of one'. I believe the trap or lie is: one-ness that makes a distinction between things as separate. But, instead, I perceive we can come together again despite our fractured state and reunite 'as one', but not 'one'. Semantics suck ... hope you appreciate my efforts to communicate with you, as much as I appreciate your efforts to understand and help others understand and know.

please keep making videos 🙏🏼

Great video in my opinion. I agree with this analysis

The deer would definitely say being eaten was bad. If they wanted to be eaten they wouldn't flee.

Thanks!

Your perspective is so coherent, I genuinely enjoyed the watch! 🫶🏼

So good!

Your page is a hidden gem, I wish you the best!! 🩷

Oh great video! didnt realise you had so little views as I thought the content was well presented!

We gained the ability to observe an apparent difference between good and evil. We can now observe the illusion so well that we can not tell that it's not real.

👍

Bro, think about it. To follow that symbol to it's roots is to find when and where we have been lied to. Academia won't let that go easily, because it's one of the keys to humanity's common roots. There's a debate on where the PIE people originated, but to me it doesn't matter if it's European or Indic because we are all family. WWll, I believe was and is used to create a smoke screen over history to keep the New Age separate from its roots. The Swastika is a Universal Human Symbol that can be followed to our common root.

Social justice has always been a godless leftwing ponzi scam and it always will be.

Smart man there really cultural Marxists

The Mexican style costume within the video acts like a beacon as it shows fashion that celebrates the peoples. People wear tattoos with pride, people wear moustaches with pride, even with fashion people wear patterns with pride. Characters within media although somewhat based on stereotype can flourish as they bring charm from their culture. Apu from simpsons as he was originally portrayed was just an average joe running an average job with a pop of his culture helping him through life. Rolf from ed edd eddy although a made up ethnicity held onto his culture as he traverses through american customs was as beloved as he was intriguing. I believe caricatures no matter how much they poke fun at a specific person or idea can bring forth said person or idea. Besides if the caricatures in question were done in bad faith people will pick up on it and choose to ignore both the caricature and the creator of said caricature.

Thanks for exploring Bihar

This was destroyed by Mughal bhaktiyar khilji for weird reason basically jealously

Nice video
