      Like “Spirit is a pattern”…. What an elaborate and clever sounding bunch of boloney. This guy is one of those phonies we as a society will never be able to weed out as the snakeoil salesman he is. He is too clever for the average man. Any criticism of this guy’s discourse, logic or opinions requires such a deep understanding of logic and language that he will more than likely go unchecked indefinitely. Tip of the hat for this guy, really. He found a niche in rightwing speaking circles and the right-wing media ecosystem that he blended in immediately and he will milk it until the end of times, given his language skills and mastery of sophistry.

    He’s right about psychedelics, I was in a really really bad headspace and who I was, was far from who I needed to be and I had an ego death and I just wanna say be careful. I had to fight to live and it put me in a nihilist perspective and now three years later I’m finally starting to feel human again. I had to rebuild from that 5 percent and I almost didn’t. I’m grateful that it showed me how much I needed to grow and change but the pain and struggle was almost too much and i wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

    One is cynical if they worship no person?

    • @RaduP3
      @RaduP3 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      he describes in this video worship as admiration and feeling the instinct to imitate. and you if you do not admire no one, and no one inspires you to be better, then you kinda are cynical. how can no one arouse respect and admiration? it's only natural to feel that way towards certain people that have certain traits. admirable traits.
      dictionary.cambridge: worship - to have or show a strong feeling of respect and admiration for God or a god. if it's for a person, then you can replace the latter with a person. to have or show a strong feeling of respect and admiration for a person

    • @clarksonemmanuel4212
      @clarksonemmanuel4212 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      This might be so because within the person who fails to worship is the assumption, I am good enough or no one is better or good enough for me to worship( worship in the context of this conversation talks about admiration and imitation) and anyone who thinks in this manner is nothing but cynical.

      I clued up to the fact that he had superior skills, yet he was a scumbag at heart.
      He would have beat my ass if it would have gone down, BTW.
      Even if I gave it my all.
      Doesn't change the fact that he had ulterior motives.
      I was in my teens when I saw through this 45ish? year old legend of rock climbing.

      @KevinGeneFeldman ปีที่แล้ว

      I think its time you give up your atheism, its to clear and too self evident that God exists. I mean just ponder the nature of your own consciousness for a moment, who the hell are you to even observe self? Any other consciousness could have been the one bound to that body and every body that was ever born until that time was not your consciousness, then arbitrarily you're spawned into something called reality, floating in an endless dark void... There is just no way to understand experience itself as anything other than a creation and a creation by definition must be purposed and built from outside of itself. You and all things are clearly an intended creation, theres just no getting around it. Don't waste your life believing the notion its just some chemicals reacting, its impossible for consciousness to be an illusion, an illusion HAS to fool an observer, it can't fool itself, because the illusion of consciousness cant fool the a consciousness thats an illusion. You possess a body, making you a soul, this is not a cartoon where you're a winged translucent ghost that floats out of the body when you die, its unknowable reality we aren't equipped to understand because it extends beyond our reality, the reality that birthed ours.

    • @selenemoon2249

      Just a btw, calling someones perspective on God or religion "trivial topic" is such a disrespecting notion that you wouldn't believe it (pun intended). Important things for people are important for a reason. It is like calling the well being of your family a trivial matter, just because I personally don't know them or care about them.

    It's strange how Jordan talks about the characteristics/traits/qualities that are generally worshiped and then purifying that so that "it" contains all of those qualities, yet says to "be a monster", leaving an earthbound mortal to navigate when to and when not to be a monster, presumably at times, being a less-than-god, or less than "good" person? Yet it is required in our society to do so? I really don't see how and when Jordan would know (or anyone else) when and how to be a monster. SO, by that rational, God wants us to be a monster? FYI I don't believe in god the way Jordan defines it here.

      it's possible, in the sense that your brain is a very good computer for highly abstract systems. "abstract" in this case meaning symbolical and representational; is what language, our only tool that allows us to collectively understand phenomena, is after all (and that seems to be dependent on communication, a system that, by dependencies alone, seems to precede logic) but it's impossible in a different sense: all we can do to know is assign a symbol to God and define what does that symbol points to. it's possible because language itself features the possibility of a symbol of ambiguous meaning (to the point no word means one thing, hence contexts) but it's impossible, because in order to properly define a symbol we must consider everything the symbol encompasses, which seems like an impossible task for us when dealing with an all-encompassing symbol. we do it anyway, we approximate things all the time. considering all things, seems to be a property of language. logic seems like a flawed tool to deal with such problem in spiritual terms, if you consider "spirit" a path rather than your path, and God all paths by definition of "all-encompassing", even the ones that lead away from it. God, if all-compassing, also points towards what cannot be symbolized, therefore understood, with accuracy, and in that sense, faith is required to even generate the logical systems that allow you to believe, which is a bit of an anathema for logic. Where does it stop being what it is and starts being what we want it to be? It's a hard question for a computer specialized in abstracts to cleanly compute.

    Some answers complete in one word. Some answers complete in one line and some answers complete in paragraphs. But
    Truth and God can't compete in paragraphs.
    It's about living and all living can be true or can be false. Love can be true or false, eating can be true or false, sleeping can be true or false, parenting can be true or false, care can be true or false, friendship can be true or false etc. God belongs to the truth and Sometimes truth lives in the truth and sometimes truth can be in the false also. Not all is here to understand especially Truth and God. These are for living.

    Some would argue, you are god experiencing god. Or in other terms, you are the eternal essence of life experiencing life. It’s so simple and obvious that it seems impossible.
    It’s like the experience of being in a dream, when something in your dream tries to convince you that you’re in a dream. In that moment, your response is to either resist it and keep on going about your adventures pretending you’re not in a dream, or you accept the information and start lucid dreaming.
    So, from this perspective, all the associations you have with the term “life” are synonymous with term “god.”
    And in this way, if you want to understand god, simply close your eyes and open them…

    We never know what the word Gods points to by thinking about it or concepts. It's just the universal experience we all can have the non-dual experience that we are not a individual seperate enitity but what we are is connected to the rest of the universe or to a awareness or the I Am. We all can find out where God points to by asking questions like who is the witness of thoughts, sensations and emotions, or who is listing to the sound of a bird? It's by looking and observing our direct experience we know what God means but every concepts is lost in this experience.

The things of which he speaks about often require rules before someone decides to really start looking at these things. If I could offer any advice, it would be that if you really want to wander into the questions that intellectuals like J.P know how to ask, you better clear that damn calendar.

      ​@@nething94 Your Nazi example is given from our shared moral perspective.
      Looking at multiple cultures globally over a large amount of time we can see that yes, morality is subjective e.g. Viking culture justified child-sacrifice and welcomed death in battle.
      However, within a single culture morality is less subjective. Morality may change over many generations as it is developed, however, each iteration of that morality is believed to be objective. Even whilst changing, generations developing it perceive and live by it as though objective.
      When doctrine, canon and ritual are established morality it is even less malleable but it's still open to change re: the teaching of Jesus and/or the Protestant Reformation.

At some point some power just was without a cause. The universe's and galaxies are limitless but they begun through a cause (big bang for example) but whatever caused the elements that caused the first bang to occur had no cause. Some power was first and that is God, the first power.
