- hello guys! this video is an homage to my roots and honestly a pretty important topic in my opinion. our relationship with the world and what is external to us that we don't understand actually really impacts how we view life and expect to be treated. if we see the world to be cruel, unyielding, unforgiving, and void of love and abandoned by its creator, that is exactly the life we will live through self-fulfilling prophecies. But if we see the world to be full of love and nurturance as well, if we acknowledge the duality and stop seeing ourselves as a victim of it, if we recognize our power and bow down to reality for giving us everything we have and everything we are, we can't help but to notice the miracles. Our lives will be more in our hands, as opposed to a series of decisions we make in spite of a world we think to be brutal.
all this to say, embrace your journey and where you are with complete love. we are always moving through understanding, always discovering, discerning, and reflecting. the human experience is so beautiful, no?

I like your candor and your perspective. I had almost dismissed this video because of the title, but you've expressed yourself beautifully.
@@MrChocoMoose I really appreciate this comment. Thank you so much, truly! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
@@SahelSaraiI can understand most of where you are coming from. The one difference I have is that I still cling to the hope or idea that there actually exists a being who created us to have emotions of: love, joy, satisfaction, gratitude, compassion and even humor. It seems logical that this being would understand what they designed into us-and also have them. But I now look to things like my dreams and my life experiences to teach me how to find this GOD. I do believe strongly that The Golden Rule is the perfect rule of life. I wish you joy in your pursuit of Truth
I feel you
I think just like this
if we can just "be"
We feel we are connected to god
and we dont need religion for this
I think for me
God means
there is goodness in life even if we dont be in full control of it
This realization you had
is a sign that you are going in the right path
Beyond religion and atheism
Totally normal and a good thing for us
For me, it was realizing that my atheism had no way to account for broad features of the universe being this way instead of other ways.
What I mean is that my atheism did not distinguish between predicting any kind of natural laws, early states of the universe ect. I get that how I will talk about probability here is shaky at best, but most of the sets of natural laws that are coherent produce unremarkable universes: universes without complexity, which is probably a necessary precursor to life.
Just like you get static every time you assign each pixel a random color on a tv screen, if you choose a random set of conceivable ways the universe could be you get no complex structures emerging like DNA.
Once you imagine all the ways that chemistry, natural laws, or the early universe could have been, there is some sense in which where we are now seems unlikely.
I get that we only have one universe to compare to, so maybe there are reasons why conceivable things are impossible to be instantiated in a universe, but looking at something like the range that the cosmological constant has to be in for life to exist, it seems inescapable that something else is going on, and that something wants life to exist.
What wants god to exist? Super god? Isn't a god by definition the most complex thing possible and therefore the least likely thing to exist by your own reasoning?
Evolution, my friend.
Well read Hesse for further perspective
good video as always, i like being a spiritual person, i dont feel i need religion, i can connect as deeply to the creator as i please.
I, myself, reject this notion that "we all worship something". I think this is just a way to over-spiritualize our emotional/mental behaviors.
You are free to think your own way my friend!
Who said anything about worshipping
@7:43 _"I'm talking about this force that we don't understand; reality as it is, in ways that we don't grasp. I'm talking about that. That is my god. That is what I worship."_
Sounds like a god of the gaps. Is there something in particular that you feel needs to be explained with a deity of some sort? Or do you feel you've already adequately explained yourself? Not that you owe me an explanation, I'm just trying to understand.
Thank you for your comment!
Less so god of the gaps and more like everything in existence being made of the same thing, if that makes sense? The dance of vibration in its smallest form, fractal and alive. The purpose for it, whether it has a purpose, will never be known, but I'm happy with expressing gratitude and worshipping it simply because it's all that makes up this universe from my understanding as a human with limited senses.
How I see it, this is how I know I'm not using a deity to explain the inexplicable - we're human beings and we KNOW we don't have the capacity to see existence in its true form! I simply know that I don't know, and I can't know.
Less so a worship of a personified/identified entity, and more so a withdrawal of assumption and a projection of gratitude... does this make sense?
@@SahelSarai Yeah, I think I'm understanding better now, thank you. You mentioned in your comment here, everything being made of the same thing. That is of course evidently true; it's all energy. I do remember you mentioning energy in your video, but instead of getting into its omnipresence, Law of Conservation of Energy, E=MC2, vacuum energy, particle formation, The Big Bang & whatnot, I think you just asked, "what is energy?" and then moved onto other stuff. I personally don't deify it, since it doesn't seem to display intelligence or intent outside of brains & nervous systems (or miraculously respond to prayers), but it really is the most god-like thing/stuff(?) in our human experience (so far as I can tell). Whether an intelligent miracle-worker or not, it's the omnipresent, shape-shifting, eternal, indestructible, progenitor of matter, and just so happened to be a necessary precondition for the Big Bang. It's okay not to have all the answers though. You are right that we never will. Thank you for responding & clarifying!
@@SahelSaraiI’m in approximately the same place you are now…
I don’t know
I can’t know
That’s okay
Be kind
Be compassionate
Live artfully
I was a Christian once, for twenty years. The idea of worship is gross! Eew! In your case, maybe obsess is a better word.
Fyi, TH-cam isn't letting me like this video.
hey have you heard about redeemed zoomer
I'll check him out, thank you :)
@@SahelSaraiprobably not a great idea…that guy has some…interesting…takes
@@SahelSaraiI would recommend Trent Horn(Counsel of Trent here on TH-cam). 💯👌
You should read religious literature, especially Islam.
I’ve actually really been meaning to, I’m in the process of doing it. Not as a path towards belief in their respective gods but to discover what our ancestors wanted us to know, the lessons of the past, the metaphors and the poetry
@@SahelSarai just pick it up and read it with an open mind
you can look up videos about its miracles also and be the judge
Jehovah’s Witnesses claim they are the only true religion. They call their religion “The Truth “.
There is no God but God and Muhammed was his messanger!
Bro what
mu ham mad was a pe doh
Enoch is the way
Enoch who?
