Given that Japanese and English words and concepts frequently do not have much overlap, Mr. Mogi has his work cut out for him trying to explain the Japanese view of things. Appreciate his thoughts.
It is a mistake to ask “what” God is, for the question presupposes that God is some sort of thing and, therefore, can be captured by a definition. Rather, God is the very ground in which all things arise, persist for a time and eventually dissolve. “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” [Paul: Acts 17:24-28] However, this does not mean that God is the sum total of all things, for when the great sage Nisargadatta Maharaj was accused of teaching that “all is God”, he responded: “I have never taught such a thing, what I have taught is that God alone is, all is not.” In other words, the phenomenal (apparent) world is precisely that, an appearance in that absolute, independent and immutable field of cognisance that is God.
7:12 "But in terms of the reality of the world there's only one reality." Exactly. That's why this conversation is so frustrating because Mr. Mogi's talk is more like anthropological concept of god in the Japanese culture and stops there. I must add there's nothing wrong with that in itself. I immensely enjoyed Joseph Campbell and his series in my youth. But what Robert is asking here is, is God just a man-made concept or is it actually something objectively real? Or a better phrasing would be, is there any concrete evidence that a man-made concept of god is based on an actual sentient being?
Exactly. And then he points out that we (many humans anyway) share a sense or suspicion that there is “something more” - but that tells me more about human inclinations than about the universe.
I think it's actually unscientific to not ask why the universe is here at the first place. Another question is, why all human beings are forced to ask that question at a certain moment in their life? Is this question encoded in our DNA?

Great clip as with pretty much all from this channel. Perhaps we should focus on how best to express its various dimensions and qualities if we're devotees of an ideal. It exists after all, whether as truth or representation - both products of the universe all the same so we better start figuring out an arena of healthy expressions of this sort. Modernity's disbelief has to be suspended. We ll keep finding new ways to show affection for the universe ( and also towards any failures to do so ) Any answer which poses as a solution wont do much good. Even atheistic and nihilistic values requires continual expression of some sort. Am sure many of us do suspect God may indeed be just as knowable. At its most basic - the most consequential and revealing of all mankind's conceptual technologies. Whether that is a compliment is a whole different matter. I think it is. In such a view, any form of deity deserves praise - truly state of the art. Also it shouldn't escape lawful application. If anything, God at least might accept and appreciate both mystical and secular forms of articulations. Any individual could speak in ways that the totality of the universe couldn't. And if God is really beyond us, then everyone is wasting their time figuring it out. Strange for us to create an idea only to reserve immunity in exchange for impotency.

We are the Creation. He is the Creator. We can not truly grasp the essence of the Creator. However- we can get to know God through His divine manifestations. From lord Krishna to Muhammad to Baha'u'llah; they have given us sacred scriptures through which we can get to know God.
I speak on the premise that there is a Creator. I feel that the concept of God is man-made, and that its opposite, Satan, is also man-made. While humans evaluate things by looking at their appearance, the inside of a person is reflected in the exterior, and humans who feel this have made the concept of God as the subject of goodness. He created the concept of Satan as the subject of sin and evil. So they disappear when man begins to look within himself. There will be no concept of God.
@@tomashull9805 This is Not so easy to understand, but No one created the Eternal Life, therefore, Life have No meaning, No beginning, No end, and No cause.

Yet another misrepresentation of Dawkins/New Atheists. They repeatedly say they have a great sense of wonder and awe at the splendor of the natural world. Just no need for either the archaic beliefs of traditional religions or for the vague abstract notions of the god of the philosophers. So many strawman attacks against the New Atheists, it's amusing.
There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they encompass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)."
God is the ultimate reality from which everything else is derived, the starting point for everything, the one unconditioned reality that all other conditioned realities such as ours come from. God is the ultimate point of reference. A creative, infinitely intelligent being. God is a spirit, our ultimate maker. God is eternal.... Michio Kaku states that God is a mathemetician 😀

Everyone's God comes from their cultural upbringing. If you changed their cultures, they would have different Gods. People who seek answers and ask global question about life know this. People who don't, don't.
@@itsalljustimages I think so. The human electrochemical brain coupled the central nervous system and it's almost antenna like, emotional sensing qualities, while being inside of or rather a product of the energy of the cosmos is certainly in common with them all. I know people like to define it to something not tangible but physical to them. I know people can share mystical or supernatural experiences regardless of their type of belief, religious, atheist, astral alignments, crystal energy, belief in nature spirits, cosmic, or what have you. But they like to credit that sensation and those experiences to something bigger than them. I think we just don't understand it. The experiences are valid IMHO. The reasons are diverse, and probably not accurate. but I think it is natural to humans and a bit obscure. And, this is just my own thinking. I am no authority on the subject. Just a campfire ponderer.
@@itsalljustimages That's a good question. Maybe for the reasons you mentioned and more. Sometimes I think maybe there is natural phenomenon, but we don't understand it. So people classify it as supernatural and then seek the supernatural motivator. A God seems to be the most common explanation among people today. The events are just obscure and not always well defined. Accidentally doing something that prevents trouble if you had not made the error. The mother who dreams her son visited her in her dreams and told her he's fine and in a better place. Then she learns he died that same day in a war in a far away land. Hearing or seeing things that one cannot explain, but begs for an answer. Maybe these become blended with normal human fears. The finality of life and not liking that idea. We want to go on and have fun and resolve our problems and fears. But we see we are responding to time, and it need not beckon us for us to travel its path. Answering the mystery of natural but obscure phenomena, the idea of making it all better one day, coupled with the glory of eternal afterlife in bliss is an attractive mental proposition. At the very least. I bet their are thousands of reasons. People are born with empty brains. We become our culture, our family, our schools and local experiences. Unless something causes us to question those things, we tend to simply live our lives as if that's all there is to it. We could be born somewhere else in the world and have a radically different experience, and still think we're the right ones. Many humans are curious, they question, they see the fallacy, but the search for answers is hard and emotionally difficult at times. Simplicity is an easy way to live out ones days. And to be sure, I am not a believer in God, but if I saw a child dying and she knew it, her parents grieved and wracked in pain, if she looked at me and asked if I knew she was going to see god and live better soon, I would tell her. "Yes". Yet I believe life may be all we have, and it isn't fair to all. I have it easy and that's not lost on me. I am grateful and often times my heart hurts in compassion for those who were born into famine, poverty and war. It doesn't feel fair. It's easy to seek solace in thoughts of life getting better, after death. It's easy to praise a God when ones life is fine. Or to look to one when it seems to have no direction. This is difficult to ponder at times. The thoughts come with strong feelings.
That advice is for the sheep. If you can't question your god, you're just grazing in your local pen. Every significant spiritual avatar from antiquity told us to figure it out, carry it on, seek and knock. Only the preacher holding the tithing plate tells you to just do as your told. They don't represent the true teachings.

Well... The "Old Testament" part of the Christian Bible (65% of all pages) is almost exactly the complete Hebrew Bible (Tanakh). Same texts ,slightly different order... But yes, the concept of God is quite completely turned around in the character of Jesus. Which makes one wonder...
@@timo3877 OT being part of NT has nothing to do with the concept of Christian's 'god' being like of those Hinduism.
All man-made religions on Earth comprise of this concept, the Creator of the heavens and Earth, come down on Earth, ate food and used toilet, so does Christianity.
So there is no Judeo-Christian "god", well technically there is no Judeo-Muslim 'god' either, because Tanakh says God likes fat, blood and BBQ aroma. Well I guess it is result of human corruption of OT, as per the Quran God did revealed Torah to Moses (pbuh).
You are that. That's all
I am that. I am!
GOD is the "Actual Infinite"! GOD is, was, and will always be! And, everything is of GOD! 🤣
A very powerful concept with a huge blast radius and dense smoke. Handle with care.

Everyone's God comes from their cultural upbringing. If you changed their cultures, they would have different Gods. People who seek answers and ask global question about life know this. People who don't, don't.
Is there an intersection, commonality?
@@itsalljustimages I think so.
The human electrochemical brain coupled the central nervous system and it's almost antenna like, emotional sensing qualities, while being inside of or rather a product of the energy of the cosmos is certainly in common with them all.
I know people like to define it to something not tangible but physical to them. I know people can share mystical or supernatural experiences regardless of their type of belief, religious, atheist, astral alignments, crystal energy, belief in nature spirits, cosmic, or what have you. But they like to credit that sensation and those experiences to something bigger than them.
I think we just don't understand it. The experiences are valid IMHO. The reasons are diverse, and probably not accurate. but I think it is natural to humans and a bit obscure.
And, this is just my own thinking. I am no authority on the subject. Just a campfire ponderer.
@@danielpaulson8838 coool..
Why do they attribute it to something bigger than them?
Is it because they are too small, too limited, too 'mortal'?
@@itsalljustimages That's a good question. Maybe for the reasons you mentioned and more.
Sometimes I think maybe there is natural phenomenon, but we don't understand it. So people classify it as supernatural and then seek the supernatural motivator. A God seems to be the most common explanation among people today.
The events are just obscure and not always well defined. Accidentally doing something that prevents trouble if you had not made the error.
The mother who dreams her son visited her in her dreams and told her he's fine and in a better place. Then she learns he died that same day in a war in a far away land.
Hearing or seeing things that one cannot explain, but begs for an answer.
Maybe these become blended with normal human fears. The finality of life and not liking that idea. We want to go on and have fun and resolve our problems and fears. But we see we are responding to time, and it need not beckon us for us to travel its path.
Answering the mystery of natural but obscure phenomena, the idea of making it all better one day, coupled with the glory of eternal afterlife in bliss is an attractive mental proposition.
At the very least.
I bet their are thousands of reasons.
People are born with empty brains. We become our culture, our family, our schools and local experiences. Unless something causes us to question those things, we tend to simply live our lives as if that's all there is to it. We could be born somewhere else in the world and have a radically different experience, and still think we're the right ones.
Many humans are curious, they question, they see the fallacy, but the search for answers is hard and emotionally difficult at times. Simplicity is an easy way to live out ones days.
And to be sure, I am not a believer in God, but if I saw a child dying and she knew it, her parents grieved and wracked in pain, if she looked at me and asked if I knew she was going to see god and live better soon, I would tell her. "Yes".
Yet I believe life may be all we have, and it isn't fair to all. I have it easy and that's not lost on me. I am grateful and often times my heart hurts in compassion for those who were born into famine, poverty and war. It doesn't feel fair. It's easy to seek solace in thoughts of life getting better, after death. It's easy to praise a God when ones life is fine. Or to look to one when it seems to have no direction.
This is difficult to ponder at times. The thoughts come with strong feelings.
For an advanced civilisation like Japan, their concept of God is archaic.
any concept of god is archaic.
Unless you step into 'New Age', pretty much all the worlds concepts of God are from the iron age.
@@publiusovidius7386 if it is then why do you care? Why don't you get on with your life without wondering? Why do you still have doubts ?
“Their concept of God is archaic” - That’s the funniest thing I’ve read on the internet today!
He is a man made mythological deity. End of story.
GOD is the "Actual Infinite"! The rest are "man made"! GOD is the beginning of the story!
Never ask me that question.
Basically god is not something meant to be questioned.!
The same goes for My taste in music!
OK!
That advice is for the sheep. If you can't question your god, you're just grazing in your local pen. Every significant spiritual avatar from antiquity told us to figure it out, carry it on, seek and knock. Only the preacher holding the tithing plate tells you to just do as your told. They don't represent the true teachings.
Japanese guy says a whole lot of nothing.
An amalgamate of contradictions, stitched with fallacies and whishful thinking.
