so funny for us jews when we real the old testament and see so many false translations lol

I always had this nagging feeling about Alan Watts that I could not really explain. He should’ve become a student instead of a teacher.

Which pints with aquinas video was the opening clip from?

Hahaha what the hell? Watts speaks of presence, non-forcing, and non-judgement. Christianity dwells much on duties, judgement and grim subjects. Life is not a grim subject nor is it a mission of some sort. The truth comes from within, not from some tradition. You sadly have no real idea about what he speaks, and have never really meditated or seen within yourself. You even judge him on his tendencies of drinking, and quote him from his worst. May you heal from this delusion of tradition, and come to find peace within yourself, instead of seeking for it elsewhere.

Here is a list of the Church Fathers and relevant figures mentioned, along with their approximate birth and death dates: 1. Saint Augustine of Hippo Born: November 13, 354 CE Died: August 28, 430 CE 2. Saint Jerome Born: c. 347 CE Died: September 30, 420 CE 3. Clement of Alexandria Born: c. 150 CE Died: c. 215 CE 4. Epiphanius of Salamis Born: c. 310/320 CE Died: 403 CE 5. The Protoevangelium of James (Authorship and Dating) Attributed to: Unknown author, falsely attributed to James Written: c. 2nd century CE (circa 150 CE) These individuals and texts either reflect cultural norms or provide indirect commentary on Mary's youth assert that she was 12 years old when she married Joseph. 😅 And bishop mar mari Emmanuel confirmed that he found some old manuscripts

Marriage in a nutshell. I see you. You see me. Let’s talk it out.

Yes, so well researched and produced!

U rec any other books on beauty

Thanks.

During Alan Watts' time, Zen Buddhism became quite well-known in the West. Another person who helped a lot in this task was Dr. Suzuki [1870-1966], a Japanese scholar who was also a Buddhist monk for some time. Zen caught the attention and interest of Thomas Merton [1915-68], a Trappist monk whose works were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s and are now forgotten. The emergence of knowledge of the main Eastern traditions and philosophies was something fascinating and at the same time challenging for the West. In the Christian religious field, many accepted this challenge, some simply rejecting it and others seeking points of contact. But between the two universes there are great chasms. The most fascinating thing about Buddhism is that it is a spiritual path that has no idea or concept of God and that dispenses with this concept. But it is not to be confused with mere vulgar Western atheism, which consists of a rabid denial of the concept of god of Abrahamic monotheism.

I had been in conflict about Alan Watts in that a man who was so wise and seemingly enlightened could drink himself to death. This video has cleared that up for me. He was wise but certainly not enlightened, and in fact it seems like his ego snuck in round the back door and used his wisdom against him and instead chose the eastern teachings that would justify his hedonistic lifestyle.

This has helped me. Thank you.

What a fraud.

Well well well, it seems - no not _seems,_ it clearly *is* the case that DBH’s _best_ roasts of atheists such as Dawkins, Harris & Dennett etc. is simply to put all his efforts into dismissing them as lightweights he’s not even going to waste any breath going into the slightest detail over beyond declaring their ignorance & stupidity. Anyone versed in philosophical fallacies knows full well that this is simply the _ad hominem_ attack stratedgy which someone who cannot supply any significant details about the shortcomings of their opponents will employ to impress people who don’t stop to wonder _“But what exactly makes Dawkins or Harris’s or Dennett’s criticisms so weak & misguided?”_ seem like brilliant knock out blows when actually no blow was even exchanged at all. Not one. Feel free to prove me wrong by quoting something of significant _substance_ in anything DBH said within this video which is ironically entitled *David Bentley Hart's BEST ROASTS* if you think I _am_ wrong about that but I absolutely _guarantee_ you’ll fail to quote anything that fits the description of anything that isn’t merely an exercise in presenting empty ad hominems which is something _any_ fool could do isn’t it?

You always rely on someone to watch over you, as if you’ve learned nothing from Zen. Wounded like children, still carrying scars.

Islam is the truth

He is lying. Dawkings has not stated that evolution solves the existential problem. Maybe David got this from Lennox which states a very similar lie.

daniel dennett is not smart? who is this guy?

This what I found when I was hoping to see him debate Sam Harris sadly he hasn't and his name only came whilst listening to Alex speak with Rainn Wilson and Alex had brought up Hate as though he was very sure that he had read him as well. I'm not sure I like he new version of Alex....

Rose was assuming Jung was in a position he was never in - Roses writings were a reflection of himself, keep in mind he wasn’t orthodox at this time and he was doing exactly what he claimed Jung tried to do. It wasn’t Jung’s intention to fully understand all of eastern philosophy from their own perspective. It’s clear he didn’t even know who Jung was or rather what the spirit of his work was. This entire argument is fallacious, all I see from the orthodox online is circular pride and self flagellation. I know this isn’t the case for all, but it’s the duties of Christians to keep themselves in check. You would rather have answers then truth, resulting in this finger pointing. This is disappointing.

I think Alan Watts said it himself, he's just a spiritual entertainer. It's a nice place to stir up one's curiosity but nothing more

I feel the same as Fr Seraphim, at first I thought Alan Watts was great but he could never give me what Christ gives me. I still consider him a good entertainer but he doesn't have the Truth.

I first was interested in watts. But then I the truth came and called me. There is no universe without the creator

PRAY FOR US FR. SERAFIM ❤ WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH ❤

It does not surprise me at all that Rose went into the Orthodox Church considering it has much in common with Eastern Mysticism. Theosis is.... "A central part of the Orthodox Church’s theology is the notion of deification, more properly known as theosis. This concept of theosis is a crucial underpinning of Orthodox belief and practice, and is integral to Orthodox mysticism. To support this concept of theosis, the Orthodox theologians quote certain “Church Fathers”, such as Irenaeus, Athanasius of Alexandria, and Gregory Nazianzen. Timothy Ware comments, “Such, according to the teaching of the Orthodox Church, is the final goal at which every Christian must aim: to become god, to attain theosis, ‘deification’ or ‘divinization’. For Orthodoxy our salvation and redemption mean our deification.” Nevertheless, theosis is sought by different means, including Hesychasm, the Jesus Prayer, and Light Mysticism." It is becoming God through mystical means is nothing short of Eastern Mysticism. Hesychasm (meditiation technique), Jesus prayer (repetitive chant), and light mysticism (meditative tequnique) are all borrowed from the eastern mystics. It is nothing close to what the Bible teaches about Soteriology.

“There are two ways, one of life and one of death and there is a great difference between the two ways”- The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles to the Nations, known as the Didache

The most monstrous ego in contemporary Christian theology. All that learning and it taught him nothing about humility.

Thanks for taking the time- and I imagine it involved a lot- to cut this together. You are truly a vessel of God's loving grace❤❤❤

Each one a mic drop moment. Good on Bentley Hart❤😂🎉

Lol 🤦🏻‍♂️

Whoa good job here brother this is exquisite glory to God!

Name of the track at 0:35 ? That flute sound

I'm Indian and really love the writings and works of Fr Seraphim Rose of blessed memory. He was one of my major inspiration for my journey to Holy Orthodoxy.

I found Alan watts when I was 15 or so. I had left Catholicism but my thirst for truth and spiritual fulfillment then led me to Terence McKenna who I would say was the modern day Alan watts. Terence’s vocabulary and speeches were so interesting and thought provoking. I now see them for what they are which is empty word play. I, like many other young men, am cursed with intellectual curiosity which can lead one down a road of searching for searchings sakes and taking risks via drugs or other means. I hope to find Christ and be cured from my searching once and for all.

Father Seraphim Rose is an antichrist

Seraphim rose is anathema for me now

Translation: "Jung was wrong because we deny the validity of any Western thought on that basis alone"

wake up babe, new cm Bradley video just dropped

Nice, thank you.

There is a difference between discussing with those you disagree with in pursuit of the truth, and platforming destructive views of the intolerant. There are an infinite number of false and irrational positions, but only a finite number of true and rational positions. And some positions are clearly and provably irrational and false. We must be intolerant of the intolerant (see: paradox of tolerance). In the examples you have shown, one should not platform those with intolerant views. If your views are intolerant or obviously wrong, they should not be shown tolerance and should not be platformed. Discuss with them if they have new information, sure. But platform them? No.

Seraphim Roses view of Watts resonates with my view of modern spirituality coming into adulthood having been brought up Catholic…a smorgasbord of choice to suit oneself. Ironically I fell into it myself keeping an open mind to the idea that our consciousness was evolving. However believing in anything led to believing in nothing concrete and a black hole. When faced with the prospect of that abyss I realised that the only option left was to turn back to God. Back to traditional Catholicism and the spiritual light that I have experienced is one that I never did as a younger person. But the path went through Orthodoxy because of its fearless adherence to tradition in the face of modernist seductions. I appreciate its role in reminding Catholics of our duty to tradition and the truth. Maybe one day the two paths may again become one in God again.

This is interesting. I myself am very thankful for Jung. If it weren’t for him, I don’t think I would have been humble enough to see my flaws and my errors. This beginning stages of humility is what got me to first accept Christ, and then Orthodoxy. Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on Carl Jung.

There are lots of teachers. Nearly all of them fail "the test of the teacher". So far the only ones that haven't failed are Jesus Christ and the Saints. I've been in a similar path as Seraphim Rose, except I never had money for university. I arrived a little later to nearly the same place though, and here I am. Will I become an Orthodox monk at age 58? I don't know. Let me learn to pray first, and be baptized. I have lots of reading to do.

Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu

Thnks bro ❤
