Nikola Tesla was a Christian. His father was a Serbian Orthodox Priest. I think what he was saying is that when we read Genesis 1 we see there terms that are from God but from our perspective are energy, frequency and vibration. Two ways of explaining the same things.
We accept that there is God, but we do not trust Him. Our Father is One who is Trustworthy, therefore, Trust in Him, for, "How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?"
Finally, I got it! Brillant mind, he said that so energy frequency and vibration so YES! Nikola Tesla is God. Thanks Jen for helping me with my conclusion o better say my confusion. Shalom.

I jumped over here from watching your "Why I left Christianity" videos. They were very validating to me. I've been toying with the idea that "God" has a quantum entanglement type nature. And when humans try to observe/focus on God we literally push into existence the image of God that allows us to connect with the creator.
Great talk! I was just praying about something similar..... how miracles happen in so many cultures, religions and a sense of religions. How is there just one way and the rest is wrong? Thanks for tackling this topic!

@@JenFishburne you are the most horrible TH-camr I have ever seen on the internet. I want to challenge your ideas. Are you ready for a live debate with me?
I just can’t say I appreciate you enough!! After many years of being a Christian and it just never truly clicked. For years I thought it did. I left Christianity and continues to study and I came up with the same thing you have. God is energy or gods are energy. I took my spirituality in my hands and listened only to my heart and the energy and it all clicked. ❤

There are so many voices in the world that expresses their own personal view point about who God is and who is not. When I listen sometimes not often to these kinds of video, it just reinforces my faith in the God of the bible. Through my own experiences in life and not anybody else, I've learned for myself that the God of the bible is very real, but that's for me and anybody else who truly believe.
Ann Marshall But which God of the Bible? People who believe in the Bible don't seem to agree either. Jews don't agree with Christians and they read and believe in the same Bible. Catholics and Protestants don't agree although they read and believe in the same Bible. Baptists and Presbyterians don't agree . Prosperity Gospel, Non-Denomination, Calvinists, Armenians etc etc. In the end it all depends on your or your friends and other peoples interpretation of the Bible. This explains why there are more than 40,000 Christian denominations and groups. The question still remains : Which God of the Bible.....? Because Bible believers still disagree.
@@wajutiem08 All the groups you mentioned agree on "which God of the Bible" with the possible exception of Jews as they don't believe Jesus was the Messiah and they don't believe he rose from the dead. Protestants didn't separate from the Catholic Church because they couldn't agree on who God was. They separated because the Catholic Church used church tradition as an equal authority with the Bible. When people from different parts of the world, who had no contact with each other in many cases, read the Bible honestly they realized that church tradition had come to a point where it contradicted very clear teachings in the Bible. That's why the protestant reformation happened. There are relatively few denominations that believe the Bible is a reliable source of truth. Among these groups there is a tremendous amount of agreement. When people interpret the Bible honestly without shoving their preconceived ideas onto the text, they come to very similar conclusions.
I'm sorry but faith is absolutely worthless! Especially when dealing with things of this magnitude. Faith is the excuse people give when they do not have sufficient, empirical evidence to support a premise. There is absolutely nothing you can't have faith in. I can have faith that I can lift a car over my head, I can believe on faith that Scandinavian men are inferior to Ethiopian men. Do you get my point? Faith is never an accurate path to the truth
Hello Jen, I was about to go to sleep, and then saw your video about why you left Christianity, and literally listened to it for the whole hour. As a Muslim, I am surprised in your years and years of vast research about finding the truth and asking questions, you never mentioned the other monotheistic religion of Islam? The reason is that you mentioned Moses and Jesus being sent for the people in their time, which is exactly what we believe! You mentioned the Big Bank Theory, it is mentioned in the Quran! You mentioned Christianity believing in multiple gods and the trinity is not mentioned in the Bible, but it is mentioned in the Quran! The way you spoke and explained all these things, I was blown away. You mentioned the Bible written by multiple people, which is exactly what The Quran says about it and how it was corrupted. A person who has studied so many books and searched for knowledge would give the Quran a chance. The Quran is exactly as it was revealed 1400 years ago to Muhammad (phuh) who was not able to read or write. There are so many videos of Christians such as yourself, who asked questions just like you, and all they did was give Islam a chance. If you are able to watch the stories of Yusuf Estes, Gary Miller, or even a youtube channel called Blogging Theology (by Paul who explores only the monotheistic religions). Here is the video about Big Bang Theory: th-cam.com/video/l1vBXFhseMk/w-d-xo.html I pray to God you find the truth and even if it is not Islam, I hope you give it a chance. Read the Quran with an open mind, and you may not be a Muslim, but you will find answers to many of the questions you have. Put those questions you put to Christianity, to Islam, and be just as critical! Good luck!
The problem is i watched a video on a man who left islam.he said muhammad was married to 9 year old girl. Also doesnt it say in the quran to kill the infidels
God said to Moses "I Am who I Am" Jesus said "God is Spirit and those who worship God must worship in Spirit and in Truth". So to know God is to connect Him thru our Spirit not our ideologies.
You will not find God in studying the scriptures day and night, you will find God when you search for Him with all your heart, the scriptures are God's word not God Himself, this where you have gone astray Lady. If you knew me you would know I say this in love.
@Oskar Vuorinen Hello there, yes that's right, this dear lady is an example of how someone can still "fall away" even though she can quote entire books of the Bible. We need to walk with Jesus closely and not be decieved by lies from the devil, somewhere along the line unbelief has crept in her heart and from there she has been taken along a deceptive path.
@Oskar Vuorinen yes Amen I didn't mean that God was not the Word to clarify it: I mean that just studying the scriptures day and night doesn't necessarily mean you know God, yes God does reveal Himself through His Word but if that is all you are doing and not searching for God Himself you without that relationship with the living Word Jesus Christ you will be filled with knowledge puffed up but not the knowledge of the Holy one If you look at Collisions 2:3 you will agree that it is in Christ ALL the wisdom and knowledge are found ! How good is that scripture brother! Love yours in Christ Jesus Hamish I agree Jesus is the Word brother.

@@TRUTHTEACHER2007 in the east.. truth? 255 Truth of TRUTH Component sounds TA + RTH TA the environment is perceivable to SA through its senses. RA, the repeated observations create the idea of predictability. Rthu, vrutth, round, rhythm etc. are of cyclical nature. English words starting with " re" represent events which happen again. Cyclical precision makes prediction possible. A predictable event in the environment is called TRUTH. Great is the genius who correlated the sound " r r r " with the precise cyclically repeated events and expanded it to the word truth. Sound " r " is produced by the repeated contact and disconnect of tongue with palate. Sound " R r r " represents repeatability, from there to rthu, rhythm, VRUTTH, VRUTTHI. And TRUTH. Satya of SATYA is that it's modifiable. Because SA is under the control of self. Anyone can decide to change the way he interacts with environment. Truth of TRUTH is that it's not modifiable as TA is not under SA's control. TATHYA of Indian languages is the YA of TA (that) & TA. SA just observes TA & TA (objects of perception) and forms an opinion about the interactive principle between them and calls it TATHYA ( the objective truth, fact). Objects of observation are not influenced by observing SA. TATHYA, truth is not modifiable by SA. The gas equation " pv=rt " is a TATHYA p,v & t are TA's observed by SA. The repeatability of the controlled interaction between Tas made the opinion a TATHYA. Truth of TRUTH is that it is just predictability based on observation of repeatability or permanence of TA, the events perceived by SA

@ Marie Bean You are one thousand per cent right. I like the way you phrased your comment. According to Heb 1:1 God has nothing else to say to us but everything pertaining to salvation is through Jesus.
I like you Jen!!! Thanks for discussing this very important topic. You have just articulated how I think and what I believe to be the truest of Truth!! Energy is what we perceive as god.
Not good enough. It's not blind energy but super intelligent energy which I prefer to call as the great Consciousness which is energy in its purest and finest form and, which, according to one great "Sensitive" author Is the Only Reality in this apparent world of physical, material existence we are all experiencing. Further, that it is in this Great Consciousness where we have and experience our being and our sense of existence. Still, further, that all this is the Mind of God. Still with me?
Who is God?God in Jesus/yeshua name crushe the head of the devil while we are gapping and deliver us and we live, we can hear the struggle and the power of the lord who fight and deliver us in front of our eyes, this is what is God the savior who cares for us and have prepared for us the new life and eternal life, amen it is for us to embrace the new life to be save. Arjoon Seetaram pastor of this revelations .
If God is energy, what is the Spirit? (Genesis 1:2). The energy you are talking about has no "will". It does not love. It cannot create matter by itself not even living things. It is not sentient. It has no knowledge and wisdom. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Explain why an electric current from an outlet be "God". How can you explain angels and demons, evil spirits, and all stories of peoples experiences with them. Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Beautiful, Jen! Love your videos. Cant wait to continue learning more about your journey and your take on energy in regards to the bible. There is always so much to learn.
Dear great friend even though I don't know you. I have already told you I was from Buddhist background and I was not a Christian at all. Now I am a Christian, so I dare to share to you I 😍 my great dearest God Jesus Christ.
No, not crazy at all, Jen. So glad I've stumbled over you. You have rekindled my faith in a meaningful universe, after my estrangement from religion. God (sorry, Energy) bless you!
I'm not sure religion ever feels right to me anymore, but I do want to believe in some kind of supreme being and life after death, and I've seen and heard too much evidence of the latter to not believe it. Thank you for doing this video and helping me make sense of what to believe and how to have hope for those gone from this mortal world.
@Rachel Davidson let your God show itself to the world.... Guess what... Everybody would believe in it then.... Ask God to come and teach everybody.... Your version of God punishes everybody in hell for eternity, who dies without accepting him exclusively as God that means every non Christian..... And you say your version of God is a loving god? Stop this madness
@Rachel Davidson today thousands of non Christian children died all around the world because of a number of reasons... They did not know who your God (Jesus) is .... Where is your biblical God going to send them for eternity? Heaven or hell?
Prem, her answer is one All Christian are told. All children, not having reached the age of accountability upon their death are in heaven (even ones who have raped and murdered a sibling or neighbor’s child). Madness
A key question is WHY do you "want to believe in some kind of supreme being"? Just because that would be comforting? And what is the evidence for life after death? That would be living in what sort of state after death?
I was a Christian born and raised. I stayed a Christian for many decades and eventually to know this god better I researched everything to understand this god I wanted to be with. I read the bible cover to cover. My research to better find god took me away and now I am totally unconvinced by the claims of the supernatural. As I am no longer convinced by the lack of 'good' evidence, I cannot believe. I left christianity and went one stage further form yourself in that I see just a natural world. No good evidence for any gods so being unconvinced I cannot believe. Thanks Gray
Hello Gray! If you are really searching for the truth like everybody, read the "Last Testament" which is "The Quran". This book is still in its original language (Arabic) however, a good English translation is Sahih International. Feel free to ask any questions and have a good day!
@@charifmerouane2306 Thanks Charif, but I don't think you can get the truth from a book saying it's true. It's kind of circular just as a Christian saying the bible proves a god and the god write the bible. Or a Muslim doing the same. We simply have no good reasons to believe. Of course the problem comes in with a Hindu/Christian/Muslim being raised in a religion and thinking it's true for them. Each claim the same sort of things and non of them offer the truth which is we simply have no good evidence for the supernatural world. Best Gray
I really like your way of thinking about God and your knowledge about the history and context of the Bible and it's stories, I have been learning all about this and it have been open my eyes a lot. Thanks for sharing your path!
You have clarified my thoughts about the Bible, God and Christianity and most of all a path to truth. You a God send or an energy send to me. Please keep up your good work!
Who is God...... The one that created you. Tesla was a very Brite man but all his knowledge and knowing came from God for the things that we enjoy today.. Thank you Jesus❤
When we die we´re going to find out the truth, but I have seen how this concious Super Being has punished the wicked who have wrong me. So, there´s so much we don´t understand. I have gone to the chapel to pray, and I heard and felt a being above me telling me what I needed to know.
God has revealed Himself in the bible. Ask Him to show you the truth and read His Word and He is good and faithful to give you understanding of who He truly is.
Jen, thank you for the interesting video. I agree with the analogy that God is energy. We use the term as we understand it and it's not therefore an absolute. It's a way in, as it were, a way to engage. We can also say that God is love and truth, which is essentially vibrational (energy) at a fundamental level. What descriptions have in common is that they are mental concepts. Essentially God is mystery, the best minds in the world have tried but can't define it. I don't think we can imagine God, but we can intuit. It's found at the level of the heart, and the head contained within the heart. To keep myself in check however I keep in mind that to a newt, God is a newt. The really big question is, "Who am I?" Therein lies the secret, in my opinion. Wishing you well with your channel. Very refreshing. I intend to keep watching!!
I agree, Mike! Who the hell are we, in fact, and why are we on this planet? I heard of a teenage boy who was wondering about our place in the universe and he asked his grandmother "Why are we here?" The grandmother said "If you don't clean your room, you won't have to worry about that."
Hi Jen, your testimony just popped up last night. I doubt that the people with the negative comments have ever delved into the scriptures for as long and as deeply as you have. Might I suggest a man on TH-cam by the name of Bill Donahue. He's a former pastor who explores the mystical meaning of the scriptures. Jesus always said the Kingdom of God is within and when we meditate we activate the pineal gland. Bill shows where in Biblical scriptures. Interesting that Golgotha is known as the "Skull". It's also interesting that Christian churches tell people to seek God but warn against " meditation" when Jesus told his deciples to go within, go into your closet and pray. I think the churches are afraid that if their congregations did this they wouldn't need them. By the way, I believe Bill Donahue also teaches that God is energy.
Why add mystical meaning to the scriptures when there is nothing mystical about it ? Read scripture in context, Golgotha is know as the skull because the formation of the rocks looked like one, and when Jesus said go into your closet he was speaking literally - pray in secret not like the teachers of the law praying aloud outside so that everyone would think them holy - see the context? It has absolutely nothing with going inside of yourself
I would love to talk to you sometime. I am a recent absentee of Christianity. I have seen several of your videos and a lot rings true to me. Thank you for posting these videos.
@Rachel Davidson Yep. Correct - Jesus the rabbi taught that he was sent with a teaching about bringing humans to be part of God's family again; to be God's children. He also taught that humans could outperform him as long we transform ourselves into god's sons and daughters. We are then born again in spirit into this glorious relationship.Sadly, humans refused as in the old testament story of the first family of Adam rebelling against God and the consequences that followed. So, when Jesus calls himself son of God, you too are a child of God likewise. John 10:34 Jesus replied, "Is it not written in your Law: 'I have said you are gods'? Psalm 82:6 (I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High). Psalm 82:1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the Gods.Ultimately, what separates us from GOD (the holy) is our rebelliousness otherwise God is always among us - as in Emmanuel. And the kingdom of God is always present.
@Rachel Davidson Use simple logic to unpack the message in the verse here. The scribe made a mistake in his translation. Jesus taught about God's kingdom, that God sent him, that he could not do anything on his own knowledge etc. - the verse states I am HE! That is carelessness of the scribe conflating a messenger with his sender. So just because it is written in the Bible God, Jesus said x,y, Z - you don't have to parrot out similarly unreasonably.
@Rachel Davidson Nope - sin separates us from God's kingdom. Remember Jesus' story about the prodigal son? He sinned but was reunited with his family after repentance. Same applies to the lost sheep. Jesus left 99 sheep to bring to the fold 1 sheep that got lost. So, Jesus came to save the lost sheep - i.e. every one that sins. The one you might call children of the devil. Jesus had a big heart! ❤️❤️
I’m pretty sure we teach children that Santa clause knows everything for behavioral control purposes. Probably not far from the reason we were taught to view the Bible in the wrong way. Thank you for sharing this message. You are appreciated.

@@JenFishburne I know you ll say all religions are man made. I had the same doubts and I was confused, you are not alone.Many before you and me had the same experience. Why so much confusions ? A powerful GOD with many differents religions ,apparently differents messages with some contradictions and some people playing with the word of GOD by corrupting it and misinterpret it?.Personally as a muslim I investigated deeply in chistianity particurarly prophetic church and I learn a lot. I saw many unbeliveable things ,very sincere Christians man of GOD with many gift helping people by healing ,good teaching and I follow them for many years. Their teaching helped me a lot in my personnal life and even to understand and believe in what is written in my holy book quran. Through them i ve started to believe deeply in the existence of jesus and prophet muhammad in islam and all others men of GOD mentionned in the bible and the coran. They applied what jesus and GOD said in some parts of the bible and the coran and they had the results. My faith in GOD grew but I was still confused how GOD can speak to muslim, christian, buddhist, permit many miracles and still permit many false teachers in every religion to misguide people .I also followed the teaching of abraham hicks and many many good spirituals teacher teaching about meditation,energy and many others good subjects .I ve many many thing to say but it almost impossible for me to share many years of research and experiences through this message.I know you ll say everybody will claim that his religion is the best(Buddhist, Christian ,jew,muslim) but i can assure you sister with tears in my heart as i m writing this message that the solution is in the true islam ,not the islam you see in the media and practiced by many mulsims. Islam is more than a religion. It is the manual of human being reveal by GOD to bring clarity ,destroy falsehood and give Hope before the end of times.Islam is composed of two parts :the law(charia) and the spirituality(people call it sufism). Please, you re nothing to lose. read about islam ,coran and sufism. You il find answer to all your questions and have true peace of mind and heart.You ll even understand the secret behind all these confusions. Check for a youtube channel named "muhammadan way" for teaching about spirituality, God and energy. Trust me GOD has sent a protected message(the quran) ,not changed in 1400 years and memorized by millions.
I don't agree that 'energy is everything'. This is extreme reductionism and meaningless on its own. Consciousness for instance is not part of energy. To lump together all spiritual values all under 'energy' certainly doesn't make sense. Worship, love, beauty etc cannot be reduced to such a barren, impersonal concept. The ultimate conclusion of such a monstrous way of thinking can only be to worship 'energy'. There is nothing 'new' here and the related 'law of attraction '. The New Thought movement 200 years ago influenced not only freemasonry, alternative health and the 'new age' mindset, but also the prosperity movement in Christian evangelism.
I am sorry that it took you so long to understand but happy that atleast now you understood this very simple thing which people don’t see especially due to their conditioning. This is common knowledge in Hinduism and we understand that and we also understand the science of god/energy consecration. Please note Hinduism is not a religion it’s a way of life.
@@stevemclendsy3911 my God is the same God That Created you... Jesus. Just because you don’t acknowledge or accept Him, won’t change that Fact. Your Pride gets in the way... “Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.” Proverbs 16:18 NASB1995 www.bible.com/100/pro.16.18.nasb1995
Let me tell you when and what God created. Billions of years ago,God created the Sun first. God love that the sun shines so beautiful he created a moon to interact with the sun. God loves his creation and so he created earth and other planets. God then made every planet orbit the sun. He loved that like how they moved around the sun. They looked alive but wasn't. Then God saw earth was not only was orbiting the sun,but it glowed. Yes, earth actually glows. Then God God took the moon and made it orbit the earth with the sun. God saw everything was absolutely beautiful. His creation even amazed him. God allowed his creation to do this for some time and then God, wanted life. He chose to bring life to earth out of the other planets because it glowed for God. Then God made life. He then made earth habital for life. A billion years from now he he created microorganisms. Millions of years ago he created life in water. Then he created dinosaurs. Then he created mammals. Dinosaurs roam earth for millions of years and then they became destuctive to each other the the echo system so God destroyed them. Millions of years went by and God was not happy with his creation. They were beautiful but they lacked something. So God created humans but his first were in Africa. In time, after hundreds of thousands of years, they grew tired of Africa and left and spreaded all over earth. God love every species he created. He left them be to figure out the world. He chose and chooses never to communicate with us until pass away. He didn't write any book, commandments,or tell us to sacrifice animals for us. God has never required a sacrifice nor ask anyone to do such a thing. That comes from man and and man. God is unknown. He has no name. We will all know him we are dead. God love what he created and still does. This is what I believe. The Bible, Quran,Vedas,Vestras,and any other religious book does not speak for God. God speaks to people directly if he chooses and it has nothing to do with the Bible. There is no need for me to read the Bible than is for you to read the other religions books. God is just love and that's it.
I just now accidentally stumbled on this thread. Jen has some very interesting things to say, at least from my perspective as a Buddhist (and also a big fan of Science). What amazes me is the number of bitter, angry people in the comments below. Jen has a different take on God than you do, it's no big deal. Let her speak.
Thank you for your observation. I have found that there are many haters out in cyberspace. Even I have been attacked with my own personal written comments on many different sites, be it current events, religion, or racism that had nothing to do with these unseen people. I was astonished that me being unknown would trigger anger in someone I didn’t know. I have even been told to leave America. I enjoyed hearing from Jen Fishburne because she accomplished what I created a goal in January of 2019 to seek and that goal was to learn to read Hebrew and then read the Bible in the language spoken during the time it was written. Well my goal diminished over time for many reasons not related to the goal. Miss Jen not only accomplished this goal she also continued her search for knowledge in so many diverse arenas and now shares her journey with us. I find that brave and find her quite interesting. Plus she doesn’t present her journey evolving from anger or abuse or disillusionment. She presents her personal journey from her own inquisitiveness. Peace, great health and joy to you, your family and to Miss Jen and her family. My background-As of now I am giving myself space from Protestant Christianity (I recently was momentarily interested in messianic Judaism) in which I was born into through a dysfunctional family that raised me in a Swedish covenant church. The name of the church holds no significant meaning to me, in terms of the title including the word Swedish, because it was presented in English and held no Swedish traditions. My immigrant Swedish grandfather was a Swedish covenant minister who died when I was a toddler. My mother was a first generation Sicilian catholic that converted when she married my father, a duplicitous preacher’s son in the 1940s after WWII. The home lacked the Jesus teachings of love and forgiveness and embraced all the judgments and hypocrisy of kindnesses. I grew up anxious and afraid. I applaud all that seek to believe and live in kindness and equality for all.
@@Fiawordweaver The good news is, you don't have to obey the haters nor take their angry comments to heart. Sometimes I like to fool with them a little, but mostly I ignore their "orders." They have no power and they know it, this is why they get frustrated when anyone disagrees with them. Be yourself, believe what makes sense to you. As the Chinese sage Chuang Tzu wrote: "Don't worry about it! Let things be. How can we understand it all in one day?"
"While my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by and I will take away my hand and thou shalt see my back parts, but my face shall not be seen" said God to Moses in Exodus 33:22-23 Apart from the glory, this means one thing to me. God is a man who doesnt want to be recognised.
🐟 06. CONSCIOUSNESS/AWARENESS: Consciousness means “that which knows” or “the state of being aware”, from the Latin prefix “con” (with), the stem “scire” (to know) and the suffix “osus” (characterized by). There is BOTH a localized knowing and a Universal Awareness, as explicated in the following paragraphs. Higher species of animal life have sufficient cognitive ability to know themselves and their environment, at least to a measurable degree. The brain is merely a conduit or TRANSDUCER of Universal Consciousness (i.e. Brahman), explaining why the more intelligent the animal, the more it can understand its own existence (or at least be aware of more of its environment - just see how amazingly-complex dolphin behaviour can be, compared with other aquatic species), and the reason why it is asserted that a truly enlightened human must possess a far higher level of intelligence than the average person. See Chapter 17 to understand the distinction between enlightenment and mere awakening. Three STATES of awareness are experienced by humans and possibly all other species of mammals: the waking state (“jāgrata”, in Sanskrit), dreaming (“svapna”, in Sanskrit), and deep-sleep (“suṣupti”, in Sanskrit). Beyond these three temporal states is the fourth “state” (“turīya” or “caturīya”, in Sanskrit). That is the unconditioned, eternal “state”, which underlies the other three. The waking state is the LEAST real (that is to say the least permanent, or to put it another way, the farthest from the Necessary Ground of Existence, or to put it another way, the farthest from the Ground of Existence, as explained towards the end of this chapter). The dream state is closer to our eternal nature, whilst dreamless deep-sleep is much more aalogousnalogous to The Universal Self (“brahman”), as it is imbued with peace. So, in actual fact, the fourth state is not a state, but the Unconditioned Ground of Being, or to put it simply, YOU, the real self/Self, or Formless Awareness (“sacchidānanda”, in Sanskrit). Perhaps the main purpose of dreams is so that we can understand that the waking-state is practically indistinguishable to the dream-state, and thereby come to see the ILLUSION of this ephemeral world. Both our waking-state experiences and our dream-state experiences occur solely within the mental faculties (refer to Chapter 04 for an elucidation of this phenomenon). If somebody in one of your dreams were to ask your dream-state character if the dream was real, you (playing the part of that character) would most likely say, “yes, of course this is real!” Similarly, if someone were to ask your waking-state character if this world is real, you would almost undoubtedly respond in kind. An apt analogy for Universal Consciousness is the manner in which electricity powers a variety of appliances and gadgets, according to the use and COMPLEXITY of the said device. Electricity powers a washing machine in a very simple manner, to drive a large spindle for laundering clothes. However, the very same electrical power may be used to operate a computer to manifest an astonishing range of outputs, such as playing audiovisual tracks, communication tasks and performing extremely advanced mathematical computations, depending on the computer's software and hardware. The more advanced/complex the device, the more complex its manifestation of the same electricity. Using the aforementioned computer analogy: the brain is COMPARATIVELY equivalent to the computer hardware, deoxyribonucleic acid akin to the operating system working in conjunction with the memory, the intellect is equivalent to the processing unit, individuated consciousness is analogous to the software programme, whilst Universal Awareness is likened to the electricity which enlivens the entire computer system. A person who is comatosed has lost any semblance of local consciousness, yet is being kept alive by the presence of Universal Consciousness. So, then, one could complain: “That's not fair - why can only a genius be enlightened?” (as defined in Chapter 17). The answer is: first of all, as stated above, every species of animal has its own level of intelligence on a wide-ranging scale. Therefore, a pig or a dog could (if possible) ask: “That's unfair - why can only a human being be enlightened?” Secondly, it is INDEED a fact that life is unfair, because there is no “tit for tat” law of action and reaction, even if many supposedly-great religious preceptors have stated so. They said so because they were preaching to wicked miscreants who refused to quit their evil ways, and needed to be chastized in a forceful manner. It is not possible to speak gentle words to a rabid dog to prevent it from biting you. There is evidence of Consciousness being a universal field, in SAVANT SYNDROME, a condition in which someone with significant mental disabilities demonstrate certain abilities far in excess of the norm, such as superhuman rapid mathematical calculation, mind-reading, blind-seeing, or astounding musical aptitude. Such behaviour suggests that there is a universal field (possibly in holographic form) from which one can access information. Even simple artistic inspiration could be attributed to this phenomenon. The great British singer-songwriter, Sir James Paul McCartney, one day woke with the complete tune of the song, “Yesterday”, in his mind, after hearing it in a dream. American composer, Paul Simon, had a similar experience when the chorus of his sublime masterpiece, “Bridge Over Troubled Water”, simply popped into his head. In recent years, the term “CONSCIOUSNESS” has been used in esoteric spiritual circles (usually capitalised) to refer to a far more Homogeneous Consciousness (“puruṣa”, in Sanskrit), due to the fact that the English language doesn’t include a single word denoting the Universal Ground of Being (for instance “Brahman”, “Tao”, in other tongues). The word “Awareness” (capitalized) is arguably a more apposite term for this concept. The typical person believes that the apparatus which knows the external world is his mind (via the five senses), but more perceptive individuals understand that the mind itself is cognizable by the intellect. Wise souls recognize that the sense of self (the pseudo-ego) is the perceiver of their intellects, whereas awakened persons have realized that the true self/Self is the witness of ALL these temporal phenomena. The true self is synonymous with Consciousness, or with Infinite Awareness, or the Undifferentiated Unified Field (“Brahman”, in Sanskrit). The Tao (The Reality [lit. The Way, The Path, or The Road]) which can be expressed in language is not the REAL Tao. All concepts are, by nature, relative, and at most, can merely point to the Absolute. That explains why some branches of theology use the apophatic method of discerning The Infinite (“neti neti”, [not this, not that], in Sanskrit). Also known in Latin as “via negativa” or “via negationis” theology, this philosophical approach to discovering the essential nature of Reality, gradually negates each description about Ultimate Reality, but not Reality Itself. Ultimate Reality (“Brahman”, in Sanskrit) alone is real - “real” in the sense that it is the never-mutable substratum of ALL existence. The wisest of the philosophers of ancient India distinguished the “real” from the “unreal” (“sat/asat”, in Sanskrit) by whether or not the “thing“ was eternal or ephemeral (cf. Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad 1:3:28, Bhagavad-gītā 2:16, et altri). Gross material objects (such as one's own body) and subtle material objects (such as thoughts) are always changing, and therefore not “real”. REALITY is clearly seen by those self-realized persons who have experienced spiritual awakenings (which occur either spontaneously, or after a gradual process over many months or years), yet only intellectually understood by those who have merely studied spiritual topics (that is, those who have practiced one of the four systems of religion described in Chapter 16 but have yet to awaken to their essential nature). “If you remain as you are now, you are in the wakeful state. This is abolished in the dream state. The dream state disappears, when you are in deep sleep. The three states come and go, but you are always there. Your real state, that of Consciousness itself, continues to exist always and forever and it is the only Reality.” ************* “The ego is the identified consciousness. When the impersonal Consciousness identifies itself with the personal organism, the ego arises.” ************* “The only true meditation is the constant impersonal witnessing of all that takes place in one’s life as mere movements in the universal Consciousness.” ************* “I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.” Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, German Theoretical Physicist.
I think your line of reasoning is logical and fascinating to follow along with. I am really glad to have found your channel. I was raised to believe in the Bible and Christianity, but in 2006 I started to question all of my beliefs about everything. I hit the reset button and began from scratch to slowly allow into my belief system only things that made sense to the logical part of my mind. There are not many beliefs in there right now. Lol. Who really knows what is true about anything really? Where's the proof? Makes sense to me though that we didn't come from nothing, so we had to have been created, and so it follows that we have a Creator, one who/that is obviously enormously intelligent and powerful. Beyond that, there are only questions and no concrete answers as to how we got here, why we're here, what happens after we die, why is there so much suffering, why is there so much evil in this world and why would our Creator allow it to continue, etc.is anyone's guess and it must not be that important to know or our Creator would and could have made the answers accessible and clearly identifiable/unmistakable to ALL through an inner knowing, not through any external source. I still want to know, and it's so much fun to try to come up with possible answers and hear others' guesses. In the end, we believe what we do because we WANT to believe.
@@bellabong8862 - it's a long path that you have to travel to get these answers and only God can give them to you. It is definitely not my place to speak for God.
Bella Bong, thank you for sharing. I think you are going in the right direction, for sure! Would you like me to do a video on why there is so much evil and suffering in the world?
It's really sad how one person's way of thinking can change the mind of many who by Not searching themselves for the truth ( in the Bible) can just follow someone's ideas.
Hahahahaha...where do I begin....this is going to be alittle bit of an erogant reply .. especially for those who dont understand the question im asking...and really not surprised at rematks..just want RIGHT person to answer it..
Its that word "TRUTH". .stop using it...this is why we have a problem...I can't sit here and argue what your saying isint true...but I total can argue your position on truth.....some HOW the letters "T R U T H"....are being used to direct people to a certain Idea...
@@LM-jz9vh fiction where archeologist have discovered artifacts stated in the Bible??? You must mean non-fiction. I know what she said in the video. She’s incorrect.
@Jen Fishburne, I think you are really onto something here. I am intrigued by the ideas you are sharing. Consider me a fellow truth seeker who has more questions than answers, and you are giving voice to some ideas which have been bouncing around in my pea brain for some time. THANK YOU!
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2. Allah, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is none comparable to Him.”
Q. Who is God? A. Is the Quran the speech of God? Quran chapter 112: say He is Allah the one and only. Allah the absolute, eternal. He begets not nor is he begotten. There is Nothing like Him.
Jen, the scriptures show an honesty that can't be disproven and yes it takes the gift of faith to believe but so much witness of real people to Christs resurrection arenot just an impersonal energy but validation of real and honest people led by Word and Spirit. A real living moral God concerned about His creation with answers to good and evil and plan for those who believe in and live for Him and others.
God is a person; he is not universe, energy. He is more real than you and he is your creator. Your mind can never comprehend him because he is a Spirit. It will take your spirit that is made alive by him to comprehend him
I don't see enough people studying the origins of the Bible, who collected the books and assembled the New Testament, the earthly influences of all the changes made and the loose interpretations of the truth. My discovery of reality has set me free. I wish the clergy would not continue the lie. What a good day that would be!
chapter 112 sura In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Say, “He is God, the One. 2. God, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is none comparable to Him.”
The first verse in the Bible, Genesis 1:1 tells us that God has created everything - including all matter and energy. This means that God can't be identical to the universe, nor can He be identical to any aspect of the universe. Since energy is part of the created universe, we must conclude that God can't be energy.
I would like to say how much I appreciate your videos. They are extremely honest, well researched, concise and more to the point they are very interesting. In this latest video you have gone into great detail describing "God" as energy. This concept is not new ,however, I'm struggling to rectify this concept of energy with the biblical physical interactions with "God" as written throughout the Bible. Could you please help with the anthropomorphication of energy in these physical interactions? If God is energy just who or what are all these people interacting with? How does energy speak, walk, heal and move about with humanity? You ask to replace the name or title of God with the word Energy yet throughout the bible wherever God is mentioned it is usually done so as a human manifestation or with human attributes. This may provide greater clarity in energy as God. I am the truly interested in learning more on this subject. Thank you!
My apologies to you, Jen for superimposing my own take on this concept of energy you seemed to be groping about. I m not as well read as you, not by a long shot, but just working on nothing but intuition(God?).
🐟 02. A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF “LIFE”: Everything, both perceptible and imperceptible - that is, any gross or subtle OBJECT within the material universe which can ever be perceived with the cognitive faculties, plus the SUBJECT (the observer of all phenomena) - is to what most persons generally refer when they use the term “God”, since they usually conceive of the Primeval Creator as being the Perfect Person, and “God” (capitalized) is a personal epithet of the Unconditioned Absolute. However, this anthropomorphized conception of The Absolute is a fictional character of divers mythologies. According to most every enlightened sage in the history of this planet, Ultimate Reality is, far more logically, Absolutely NOTHING, or conversely, Absolutely EVERYTHING - otherwise called “The Tao”, “The Great Spirit”, “Brahman”, “Pure Consciousness”, “Eternal Awareness”, “Independent Existence”, “The Ground of All Being”, “Uncaused Nature”, “The Undifferentiated Substratum of Reality”, “The Unified Field”, et cetera - yet, as alluded to above, inaccurately referred to as a personal deity by the masses (e.g. “God”, “Allah”, “Yahweh”, “Bhagavan”, etc.). In other words, rather than the Supreme Truth being a separate, Blissful, Supra-Conscious Being (The Godhead Himself or The Goddess), Ultimate Reality is Eternal-Existence Limitless-Awareness Unconditional-Peace ITSELF. That which can be perceived, can not be perceiving! Because the Unmanifested Absolute is infinite creative potentiality, “it” actualizes as EVERYTHING, in the form of ephemeral, cyclical universes. In the case of our particular universe, we reside in a cosmos consisting of space-time, matter and energy, without, of course, neglecting the most fundamental dimension of existence (i.e. conscious awareness - although, “it” is, being the subject, by literal definition, non-existent). Just as a knife cannot cut itself, nor the mind comprehend itself, nor the eyes see themselves, The Absolute cannot know Itself (or at least objectively EXPERIENCE Itself), and so, has manifested this phenomenal universe within Itself for the purpose of experiencing Itself, particularly through the lives of self-aware beings, such as we sophisticated humans. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness, in the same way that a dream is a person's sleeping narrative set within the life-story of an “awakened” individual. APPARENTLY, this phenomenal universe was created with the primal act (the so-called “Big Bang”), which started, supposedly, as a minute, slightly uneven ball of light, which in turn, was instigated, ultimately, by Extra-Temporal Supra-Consciousness. From that first deed, every motion or action that has ever occurred has been a direct (though, almost exclusively, an indirect) result of it. Just as all the extant energy in the universe was once contained within the inchoate singularity, Infinite Consciousness was NECESSARILY present at the beginning of the universe, and is in no way an epiphenomenon of a neural network. Discrete consciousness, on the other hand, is entirely dependent on the neurological faculty of individual animals (the more highly-evolved the species, the greater its cognitive abilities). “Sarvam khalvidam brahma” (a Sanskrit maxim from the “Chandogya Upanishad”, meaning “all this is indeed Brahman” or “everything is the Universal Self alone”). There is NAUGHT but Eternal Being, Conscious Awareness, Causeless Peace - and you are, quintessentially, that! This “Theory of Everything” can be more succinctly expressed by the mathematical equation: E=A͚ (Everything equates to Infinite Awareness). HUMANS are essentially this Eternally-Aware-Peace, acting through an extraordinarily-complex biological organism, comprised of the eight rudimentary elements - pseudo-ego (the assumed sense of self), intellect, mind, solids, liquids, gases, heat (fire), and ether (three-dimensional space). When one peers into a mirror, one doesn't normally mistake the reflected image to be one's real self, yet that is how we humans conventionally view our ever-mutating form. We are, rather, in a fundamental sense, that which witnesses all transitory appearances. Everything which can be presently perceived, both tangible and immaterial, including we human beings, is a culmination of that primary manifestation. That is the most accurate and rational explanation for “karma” - everything was preordained from the initial spark, and every action since has unfolded as it was predestined in ETERNITY, via an ever-forward-moving trajectory. The notion of retributive (“tit-for-tat”) karma is just that - an unverified notion. Likewise, the idea of a distinct, reincarnating “soul” or “spirit” is largely a fallacious belief. Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves, is the result of two factors - our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning (which may include mutating genetic code). Every choice ever made by every human and non-human animal was determined by those two factors ALONE. Therefore, free-will is purely illusory, despite what most believe. Chapter 11 insightfully demonstrates this truism. As a consequence of residing within this dualistic universe, we experience a lifelong series of fluctuating, transient pleasures and pains, which can take the form of physical, emotional, and/or financial pleasure or pain. Surprisingly to most, suffering and pain are NOT synonymous. Suffering is due to a false sense of personal agency - the belief that one is a separate, independent author of one’s thoughts, emotions, and deeds, and that, likewise, other persons are autonomous agents, with complete volition to act, think, and feel as they wish. Another way of stating the same concept is as follows: suffering is due to the intellect being unwilling to accept life as it manifests moment by moment. There are five SYMPTOMS of suffering, all of which are psychological in nature: 1. Guilt 2. Blame 3. Pride 4. Anxiety 5. Regrets about the past and expectations for the future These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above - that life is a series of happenings and NOT caused by the individual living beings. No living creature, including Homo sapiens, has personal free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded when he scribed “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” The human organism is essentially a biopsychological machine, comprised of the five gross material elements (which can be perceived with the five senses) and the three subtle material elements (the three levels of cognition, which consist of abstract thought objects), listed above. The ANTIDOTE to all mental anguish is to firstly discern pain from suffering, then to achieve complete relief from that miserable state of existence, by abandoning the erroneous belief in personal authorship, and abiding in the primordial sense of being (the unqualified “I am”, which is one's core identity). This is the very same peace which is experienced each night during the dreamless phase of the sleep cycle. This 'resting imperturbably as Flawless Awareness' can be practiced on a regular basis, until it is fully assimilated and integrated into one's life. Every person, from time immemorial, has been either intentionally or unwittingly seeking such causeless peace, most commonly by practicing one of the four systems of YOGA (religion) delineated in the sixteenth chapter of this work, or else in creating wealth and the acquisition of material possessions, or in psycho-physical pleasures. That peace of mind is often referred to as “happiness”, “joy”, or “love”, and often presumed to be a temporal state, since many assume, incorrectly, that continuous peace is unavailable in this life. Fortunately, that is not the case - it is eminently possible to live one's life acquainted with unbroken peace of mind, if destined. Cont...
Following DHARMA (frameworks of authentic religion and societal duties) is not guaranteed to achieve that desired tranquillity of mind, but even so, it is beneficial for individuals, since it establishes a structure which enables one to more easily elevate oneself beyond the mundane, animalistic platform (i.e. the base pursuits of eating, sleeping and mating). Intrinsic to dharma is the division of the adult male population into the four classes of society and the inherent role of girls and women in society, as fully elucidated in latter chapters of this Holy Scripture. So, now that you understand life, and the reason why we are suffering here in this (ostensively) material universe, you are now able to become liberated from all mental suffering, RIGHT? WRONG! It is imperative to approach an authentic spiritual master to assist you to come to the above realization, by slowly undoing your past conditioning. Just as you have been conditioned over an entire lifetime to think one way, you need to be re-conditioned to think another way (in alignment with your essential identity as The Divine). For one who has himself for a teacher, that man has a veritable fool as his teacher. Even if you adhere closely to the precepts of a competent teacher, you may still not come to a full understanding of life, but if you are sincere, humble and dedicated, you will definitely find more peace in your daily life - all of which was DESTINED to occur, of course. Furthermore, if you are suitably-qualified and it was ordained, you may be fortunate enough to receive discipline from one of the EXTREMELY rare fully-enlightened masters residing on earth at any given time (perchance even the current World Teacher himself), and subsequently realize the aforementioned fundamental concepts, by diligently studying authoritative doctrines (especially the most accurate and complete of all extant Scriptures, this “Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”), serving your guru with great reverence and devotion, and by deliberately avoiding undue harm to oneself, to other individuals, to society as a whole, and to the natural environment, including other life forms. Most beneficially, you are urged to become VEGAN, since carnism (the destructive ideology which supports the use and consumption of animal products, especially for “food”) is, apart from illegitimate (non-monarchical) governance and feminism, arguably the foremost existential crisis.

Jen's basic conclusion is that God is universal energy. She is not asserting that god is a metaphor for universal energy, but that it is actually universal energy. She posits the Hebrew gods of Yahweh and El, who were eventually combined to become the monotheistic deity Jehovah/Allah/ Lord of Abrahamic faiths, is actually just a recognition and naming of universal energy as god. Basically, her entire proposal is "god" is just the deification of energy. Her position that this universal energy is omniscient, compassionate, merciful and gracious, relies on the universal energy being conscious, or having consciousness. In other words, her assertions rely heavily on transferring the qualities and morals of human consciousness to this universal energy, so it can then be deified. I find it intriguing that when energy can be perceived to have compassion or mercy or grace, she runs with it, yet when energy can be seen as angry and vindictive and punitive, she reverses her position and asserts that this isn't god/energy inflicting itself willingly upon us, its just nature. That's trying to have it both ways. It surprises me that she does not recognise her own use of informal, logical fallacies and straw man arguments to defend her position. I very much respect Jen's knowledge of the topic of the history of Abrahamic faiths and how they've evolved. I have learnt much from her. However, the positions she presents and defends here seem to be nothing more than a transferal of faith from Jehovah and Jesus to a new-age universal deity, or in other words, a deity of universal energy.. Her position still requires the suspension of rational thought, and revisionist reasoning, that all religious faith requires. Metaphors and allegory should always be recognised as descriptive language tools. Jen seems to have confused, or conflated, her metaphors with what she now projects god to be. Projecting human qualities upon universal energy or natural phenomena to create a deity, is the fashion in which people have created god/s for time immemorial. Jen posits that energy is gracious and energy is wise and energy is love, energy is consciousness etc. These things may be, and have, energy, but that is different to asserting that energy is those things. Love may be an energy, but energy itself is not love. Consciousness may be an energy, but energy itself is not, or has no, consciousness. The use of the informal fallacy of 'seems like' or 'looks like' is usually used by far less educated people than herself to defend that which they posit.
Hi Jen - your talks are very interesting. I too no longer consider my self a "Christian" and I never felt comfortable saying that I was. I could never understand how I was supposed to have a "personal relationship" with Christ. It always sounded weird to me. However, I can totally understand a "Christ-like" figure teaching that we must love and serve each-other. If Christ did exist, I find it hard to believe that he would have wanted us to worship him. I mean why does God need to be worshiped anyway? It's makes much more sense that God/Christ would want us to recognize and value the "God/Spirit" within each other. Can you imagine what the world would be like if we treated each other as God in disguise? I think people hide behind the bible rather than live and love in the present moment with those they encounter in real life.
Wow, so well said. I never understand the worship concept either. Sure it feels good to extend love & praise but ppl act like God needed this from us and so many Christians weeping in sadness about the life of Jesus. It boggles my mind since a kid. I kept seeking & searching and found my greatest freedom & joy when I learned to love myself and look inward, it allowed me to have sincere self love & sincere friendships without condemnation toward myself and judgement toward others. I agree that if we understood the spirit within ourselves and others and loved and uplifted one another and stopped hiding behind judgemental, condemning religions we would all be better off. It always makes me sad when I hear how excited Christians are to talk about others who are going to hell. It’s a religion of arrogance and self-righteousness. I’ve never been happier since removing myself. It was hard because of the guilt and shame we were taught but it gets so good in life. My depression completely ended. I was no longer a doormat. Intelligent conversations began instead of touchy feely whoa is me ones. The problem I notice is that many who leave Christianity though… tend to want to teach the world their new beliefs. What if we all have our own powerful destiny to follow.
Too much knowledge without wisdom, Running after every wind of doctrine and philosophies of men. The fallen el had the knowledge of the All and became prideful and departed from the presence of the Light. Your doctrine is not truth, though it has some truthful information. Knowledge is not wisdom although knowledge is power, that corrupts. Knowledge without wisdom for one's own authority is not good but evil. This Is idolatry and worship of self. Jesus/ Y'hovah Elohim IS, I Am, the substitution for our weakness and death in the flesh. God is love through, in and creator of the ALL. Your Glorying is not good. It's self serving and decietful, of self and others.
This is fundamental principle of Ifa philosophy of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. It's also the basic principle of a lot of animistic Earth/nature based spiritual traditions. Funny how they were mocked as being primitive and backward for not following an Abrahamic perspective, but modern science is showing they knew what they were talking about. When they said everything has life= everything is made up of energy. When they said all life is connected=all expressions of energy is connected. Now we're all talking about Global warming and ecology because we see the negative effects of the imbalance. They told us that nature was made for man to dominate. We told them man is a part of nature and we have to live in balance with it, not dominate it.... Well now look. How's that domination working for us? Now we're all scrambling to do what? Yup, that's right, find that balance and harmony. We call the people in the rain forests primitive. But let global warming and the effects knock out all our technological tools. Whose the ones who will survive because they know how to provide food, clothing and shelter? We scoff at huts..... but can we make one? Our arrogance will be the death of us if we don't get it in check. Life itself is the greatest miracle there is. Why can't we just appreciate that instead of looking for Harry Potter and Superman?
Well said Truth Teacher. I usually don't make comments, however, you're right. I went from Christianity to Islam and now African, Native American cosmology which is scientific as well. She should read The Tao of Physics.
Energy is a matter (substance) that can be measured and can be controlled ! Can we measure GOD or can we control GOD?! If the answer is “yes” , it means GOD = Energy. If the answer is “NO” , then GOD is independent. Conservation Law was made by Newton ! , had GOD also been made by Newton?! One more thing, GOD doesn’t change from one form to another , GOD is one and only one ; HE is not a liquid , not a gas and not a solid , HE is not like any thing ; he is not a quantity within the range of any type of measurement, he’s not a melting point , not a boiling point , not a freezing point , not a radiation , not enthalpy , not entropy, not a sound , not a light , not a wind , not a sand ….etc. All universal energy eventually will be sucked in the “black hole” , but GOD will not.
I've seen your interview with the Harmonic Atheist and I am wondering if you have done any follow up to the last interview?? It was a fantastic experience listening to the whole dialog between you two.
This is just new age. Been there done that. What about dark energy. It was all good until I struck dark forces. They were so real, and I was not focusing on anything dark at all. I can't say who God is but I do know that what you are saying is not the truth.
For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them. The message of the true proverb has happend to them, "A dog returns to its own vomit," and, "A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire." 2 Peter 2:21-22
I'd say she has become freed to understand and experience "God" in a more enlightened and expansive way. In other words her own "spirit" is no longer constrained by narrow and inconsistant views of "God" from ancient, misunderstood texts that people try to apply literally to today's life causing many to suffer needlessly.
This isn't uncommon and there is a reason why. It appears that even the angels rebelled against god. Bc the bible is a bias book the real reason why Satan rebelled may never be known. Language speaks for itself. From Sumer to America language have caused so much confusion. As a result some ppl research to find that god appears to be two-faced. He's good and evil simultaneously. The silly question. If God is good then why he allow evil. Lol That's bc god is a good devil. God is a gangster. They depicted him in the movie: "The God Father" aka Father God or God the Father. WarLord, Drug Lord and landlord are gods too. The only thing we don't recognize is that a god can be either good or evil. The god of the babel appears to be evil. Not to fret bc ppl love evil.
I admire your courage reading through the comments section. Despite what people say to you, you still keep the fire of truth burning that can only happen when you know the truth cause only the truth has the ENERGY to MAKE you FREE. Thank you for your seed of love
@Rachel Davidson I was born into a Christian family, served diligently in what you Christians will call the vineyard and also attended two separate bible schools before I left the church. I actually started understanding the bible when I left the noise and started reading for myself and double checking. From my research I have been doing for 12 years since I left the church, everything she is saying is the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

@@richardverrall534 You are just parroting uncritically what catholic theologians inserted in the Bible. The Bible says - love god with your heart & brain. So, take a leaf from science or philosophy. How can god be a number 1 or or 3? _Jesus taught that god is spirit. Want more? Read the old testament - like Isaiah and Job's book.
If “energy” is the single source of all creation/existence, surely it must be considered corrupt(ed) or flawed, when we experience its failures and inconsistencies.
The metaphor of "The Force" sums up what you're saying here. We are part of it and it is part of us. It surrounds and binds everything. In Star Wars, there is "The Living Force" and "The Cosmic Force"; That which energizes and animates life and that which the universe is comprised of that is not animated, as life is. When one dies, they become one with The Cosmic Force. It seems to me that the universe is conscious and we are symbiotic with that consciousness. The creation observing itself.
I'm guessing each generation, culture & movement has grappled with universal life issues. Who are we, where did we come from, apes etc. what is our purpose? In the mix comes up God / Gods, higher being, spirit or not. Tho a professing non Christian or past Christian, you can appear to b stuck in the Bible, to solve the God riddle. Many many religions explain the God / man concept, some even profess the superiority of man, absence of God. Unfortunately todays talk seems a little light on, in man logic & reason. The concept of thermal dynamics/energy is pretty recent, a few centuries, so trying to substitute it back into ancient writing, is like saying....when they said 'I can see into ur heart', from ancient writings, they were actually referring to an x-ray machine. Concepts of energy, pure or otherwise, are extremely limiting in explaining our physical world, can't go below the surface. Light, gravity, heat, radiation, electricity, follow the laws of nature but remain inanimate. We are animate, intricately designed, thinking, caring being no amount of random energy explains a designed world. Love of course is no random energy. Design & creation is explained thru intelligence which points to a God, but of course doesn't define that God. The 2 part design of the Bible of course just splits up the 1 story. The New Testiment focuses initially on Son of God, Jesus, then post Easter on stage 2 of God interacting with man via the indwelling of his spirit. That brings about another split, Peter going back to the Jews/Israelites & Paul heading to Rome & Gentiles / US to share the Good, God NEWS. Bless ur Day Allan
You’re not the first and certainly will not be the last confused person in the world. Majority of the people will leave this world more confuse than when they came into this confused world.
We can see energy but nobody can see God who is Spirit. For God is more powerfull than energy for Moses just to see the face of God He would die. Thats why anybody can see energy but God is more than energy.
In Islam Power is one of the attributes of the God. Energy is created by the Almighty. No need to confuse the law with the law giver. There's a truth in your conclusion, but it's not the whole truth. Look into attributes of God in Islamic theology, you will see the whole truth.
We are living in last days be careful lot of fault teaching around us. Bible says this . Every thing written in bible we can see now. Please ready the bible and understand.
The "last days" were in reference to the last days of Israel's Old Covenant before they came into their New Covenant in the first century. None of that has anything to do with us today. I know my Bible well, thank you. That's how I studied my way right out of it.
What about 2 Timothy 3v1 - 17 ? Did you study that? As it speaks of last days ..the bible ultimately is all about Jesus He even said so himself in conversation with the Pharisees so if you studied and know the bible but didn’t come to Him you have read but not understood John 5v39
Hey my elder sister, as a young man i really enjoy your videos, and the way you convey your experience in life to us. You can consider me one of your loyal subscriber. By the way i watched your story on leaving Christianity and i enjoyed your insightful reasoning so much, but what struck me though is how similar your perspective on bible is with what the Muslims believe especially you regarding the bible as a book meant for certain people in a certain time. Anyway please grant me the honor of being a little brother to you. (Your little brother Juad, with my infinite love and respect).
@@JenFishburne Thank you for replying my elder sister, you considering my message means the world to me regardless the content of your reply. I would like to ask you whether or not you consider Reincarnation a viable theory for offering an alternative approach for the life after death?. (Your little brother Juad with my infinite respect).
how nice to hear this from you, I have also gone through similar, began to wonder why Christians behave completely wash Jesus, when I started asking questions no one could answer, but the worst thing is that they judge you and say that the spirit of Satan is in you and do not accept that someone starts to hesitate, my husband left me because I could not believe anymore and that I did not believe in the bible, I felt very alone that period and I I was born a Christian and Jesus was my whole life but suddenly my view of the bible changed in search of truth, now I am awake and have realized that religion is the work of man, I believe in God who created everything through energy
Y'all need Advaita Vedanta...westerners can start with Dr. David Hawkins' books. I respect Jen's journey but she is really lagging behind the dharmic worldview the ancient Vedic rishis and sages expounded on in Bharat's history.
I made a spelling mistake because I am a French speaker. Prophet with "e" in French. Thank you for correcting me. However my mistake has no effect on reality that Jesus peace be upon him is no more than a man. He never said I am God worship me. I agree that his birth is miraculous.but what about Adam and Eve. They don't have father nor mother. In the same logic both should be son and daughter of God. They are first, and did not come from a womb of human being. So as God can do everything Jesus alike Adam both came from a word, just a word, no more than a word from God "Be!" and they are.
Friend I have really experienced God Jesus Christ S unconditional 😍 and His Goodness and signs wonders and miracles supernatural stuffs of God Jesus Christ personally. I have been a Christian for so long already, so I dare to speak to you personally 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@The Sight of Sound ,I had near death experience in 2017 from a snake bite. I went to a place I can't explain to this day and it had absolutely nothing to do with the Bible at all. If was peaceful. I saw animals all over grass. I saw a large river. I saw colors I've never seen on earth before. I had no physical body whatsoever. There was no fear. There no Judgement. There was no Jesus. There were no demons. There were no angles. Words can't describe that place. A loving presence appeared right by my right side. I felt its positive energy. It was God's presence. This loving presence told me your body is dead for now but not long. I said really? He yes. Then he said you want to cross over and see the others? I thought about my kids and said no. God actually laughed. Yes,God has a sense of humor. He told me if you cross over, you'll never have to wash your clothes again. You see,I don't like washing clothes and God knew. He made a joke and I laughed. Then God said,OK,you can go back but I'm disappointed you won't stay. And just like that, God shot some kind of light right at me and I woke up in the ambulance. This was the truest thing I've ever felt. So,yes, I've experienced God but it had nothing to with the Biblical God.
@@stevemclendsy3911 Sounds similar to what my wife experienced long time ago when she was 14 back in 1979 and undergoing heart surgery. They had her heart out on the operating table and had to stop it temporarily. During that time she said she "woke up" and thought the surgery was done and noticed that she didn't feel any pain or heaviness like before. She looked over to her right and saw a hallway leading from the operating room that she didn't remember seeing before. She felt compelled to go to that hallway out of curiosity. From what I remember her saying, she found herself going to that hallway without much or any effort, maybe floating, not sure, and noticed that the hallway floor was make of stairsteps but it wasn't going up or down, just across, hard to explain. She went down the hallway and when she got to the end of it she saw basically the same stuff you described - animals, grass, no fear, etc. She said it resembled a nice spring afternoon and she saw people walking around dressed in regular looking clothes and some having picnics and there were balloons, etc. She started to step into this other world and heard a male voice tell her it wasn't her time yet. She said it resembled life here, it was completely different at the same time. She is sure she was dead and saw the afterlife. And she wasn't a christian when it happened either. After she really woke up from the surgery, she looked over to where the hallway was and just saw a regular wall like before. Almost sounds like twilight zone. There's multiple ways of looking at this, and I don't know which way would be correct, if any, but just wanted to share that with you since both of your stories resemble closely.
@@stevemclendsy3911 In that post you shared about your afterlife experience you wrote "Then God said, OK, you can go back but I'm disappointed you won't stay." Boy that's unusual to hear. Usually with reading or listening to those types of experiences the person is always told to go back, that it's not their time yet or something along those lines. Almost like the whole idea of them being on the other side and free from this hellhole on earth is frowned on in some way.
Energy is one of the forms of Matter, which is Eternal, Infinite, Multiple, NEGATIVE, SELF-DESTRUCTIVE and UNCONSCIOUS of itself and, therefore, IMPERFECT. The last four qualities of the Universe demonstrate the impossibility, physical and metaphysical, of the existence of God.
@Rachel Davidson do you just come to the comment section to attack people? Your eagerness causes you to drop half-baked ideas that end in nonsense. Have you never heard the phrase: "Think before you speak"? If not, now you have... please do so.
Firstly, I feel you are anthropomorphizing energy and calling it God without adequate justification. You say things like ''energy is slow to anger'' ''energy is all knowing'' etc. This is the most obvious problem with calling energy, a physical non sentient entity ''God''. The god label has a lot of baggage attached to it, and trying to intertwine energy and god together has ultimately resulted in many of your points drowning in this baggage. In general theistic terminology, God usually means a disembodied mind with supernatural abilities, this is why religious folk can speak of ''god being slow to anger'' or ''god knows everything''. The consciousness of the supposed god is the one doing the cognitive tasks. Energy does not have cognition so speaking from a purely technical standpoint, energy cannot be analogous to most of the verses describing the properties of god. Secondly, you are not quite right about the big bang. Barring the non accurate description of what it is, it is squarely incorrect to call it creation ex nhilo. The big bang theory says nothing about the ''beginning'' or where everything comes from, it simply describes a period of rapid expansion time-stamped by periods called epochs. Therefore, the big bang theory is not as equally absurd (or even absurd at all) as creationism. Infact, due to the conservation of mass and energy you skimmed on in this video, we can go ahead and safely assume that the concept of things ''beginning to exist'' is simply not the way we should think about cosmology. This becomes especially true when you consider that time ''began'' (for lack of a better word) with the big bang, lending credence to the idea that maybe things have always just been since there cant be a time before time and since we already know that matter and energy can only be transferred and not destroyed. Ofcourse, all of this would be an assumption, however it is a much more plausible assumption than energy being some god derivative.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What God? God who? God where? Who told you? How do I know you're not lying or wrong? Can you ask God to tell me DIRECTLY what he wants me to know without literature, humans or any type of human invention?
1. There are multiple distortions about Christian beliefs (6), and I am only 12:30 into it. No Christian believes that Satan is everywhere as in "OmniPresent". 2. You may call God whatever you wish, energy, thunderbolt, alien, UFO, or nothing. The question is which/what/whose god is that.? 3. What energy is she talking about? The last time I checked anyone can create energy at will. I love this lady and I am praying for her a lot. I was literally like her. I left God for a period of 9yrs. Was a preacher and gifted with the gift of the spirit. Thousands come to hear from me. I fell due to pride and fornication. In the end, I hated God and Christians. I became bitter and wanted everything about God to be not true. So I did. God does not exist because we believe He does. Our beliefs make no difference to His existence. He is I AM.
Thanks, I enjoyed this. I often use "energy medicine" to help with my chronic anxiety and have been very much helped. So "energy" for me can be a positive, therapeutic, healing (re)source. A corollary to that is light, which also is an energy. As an avid reader of Near Death Experiences, I am captivated with the numerous accounts of NDExperiencers going to a numinous light that is all-loving and affirming. Perhaps the "heavenly" dimension is all about being in the realm of the Light's higher vibration that exudes love and compassion. What if we humans, as conduits of this love energy, raise our currently dull level wattage to high voltage, let's get benevolently crazy levels?
Nikola Tesla "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration" brilliant mind!
Nikola Tesla was a Christian. His father was a Serbian Orthodox Priest. I think what he was saying is that when we read Genesis 1 we see there terms that are from God but from our perspective are energy, frequency and vibration. Two ways of explaining the same things.
We accept that there is God, but we do not trust Him. Our Father is One who is Trustworthy, therefore, Trust in Him, for, "How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?"
Finally, I got it! Brillant mind, he said that so energy frequency and vibration so YES! Nikola Tesla is God. Thanks Jen for helping me with my conclusion o better say my confusion. Shalom.

I jumped over here from watching your "Why I left Christianity" videos. They were very validating to me. I've been toying with the idea that "God" has a quantum entanglement type nature. And when humans try to observe/focus on God we literally push into existence the image of God that allows us to connect with the creator.
Sounds like a bunch of new age garbage.
Great talk! I was just praying about something similar..... how miracles happen in so many cultures, religions and a sense of religions. How is there just one way and the rest is wrong? Thanks for tackling this topic!

I just can’t say I appreciate you enough!! After many years of being a Christian and it just never truly clicked. For years I thought it did. I left Christianity and continues to study and I came up with the same thing you have. God is energy or gods are energy.

There are so many voices in the world that expresses their own personal view point about who God is and who is not. When I listen sometimes not often to these kinds of video, it just reinforces my faith in the God of the bible. Through my own experiences in life and not anybody else, I've learned for myself that the God of the bible is very real, but that's for me and anybody else who truly believe.
Ann Marshall But which God of the Bible? People who believe in the Bible don't seem to agree either. Jews don't agree with Christians and they read and believe in the same Bible. Catholics and Protestants don't agree although they read and believe in the same Bible. Baptists and Presbyterians don't agree . Prosperity Gospel, Non-Denomination, Calvinists, Armenians etc etc. In the end it all depends on your or your friends and other peoples interpretation of the Bible. This explains why there are more than 40,000 Christian denominations and groups. The question still remains : Which God of the Bible.....? Because Bible believers still disagree.
@@wajutiem08 All the groups you mentioned agree on "which God of the Bible" with the possible exception of Jews as they don't believe Jesus was the Messiah and they don't believe he rose from the dead. Protestants didn't separate from the Catholic Church because they couldn't agree on who God was. They separated because the Catholic Church used church tradition as an equal authority with the Bible. When people from different parts of the world, who had no contact with each other in many cases, read the Bible honestly they realized that church tradition had come to a point where it contradicted very clear teachings in the Bible. That's why the protestant reformation happened.
There are relatively few denominations that believe the Bible is a reliable source of truth. Among these groups there is a tremendous amount of agreement. When people interpret the Bible honestly without shoving their preconceived ideas onto the text, they come to very similar conclusions.
I'm sorry but faith is absolutely worthless! Especially when dealing with things of this magnitude. Faith is the excuse people give when they do not have sufficient, empirical evidence to support a premise. There is absolutely nothing you can't have faith in. I can have faith that I can lift a car over my head, I can believe on faith that Scandinavian men are inferior to Ethiopian men. Do you get my point? Faith is never an accurate path to the truth
Hello Jen, I was about to go to sleep, and then saw your video about why you left Christianity, and literally listened to it for the whole hour. As a Muslim, I am surprised in your years and years of vast research about finding the truth and asking questions, you never mentioned the other monotheistic religion of Islam? The reason is that you mentioned Moses and Jesus being sent for the people in their time, which is exactly what we believe! You mentioned the Big Bank Theory, it is mentioned in the Quran! You mentioned Christianity believing in multiple gods and the trinity is not mentioned in the Bible, but it is mentioned in the Quran! The way you spoke and explained all these things, I was blown away. You mentioned the Bible written by multiple people, which is exactly what The Quran says about it and how it was corrupted. A person who has studied so many books and searched for knowledge would give the Quran a chance. The Quran is exactly as it was revealed 1400 years ago to Muhammad (phuh) who was not able to read or write. There are so many videos of Christians such as yourself, who asked questions just like you, and all they did was give Islam a chance.
If you are able to watch the stories of Yusuf Estes, Gary Miller, or even a youtube channel called Blogging Theology (by Paul who explores only the monotheistic religions).
Here is the video about Big Bang Theory: th-cam.com/video/l1vBXFhseMk/w-d-xo.html I pray to God you find the truth and even if it is not Islam, I hope you give it a chance. Read the Quran with an open mind, and you may not be a Muslim, but you will find answers to many of the questions you have. Put those questions you put to Christianity, to Islam, and be just as critical! Good luck!
The problem is i watched a video on a man who left islam.he said muhammad was married to 9 year old girl. Also doesnt it say in the quran to kill the infidels
God said to Moses "I Am who I Am" Jesus said "God is Spirit and those who worship God must worship in Spirit and in Truth".
So to know God is to connect Him thru our Spirit not our ideologies.
You will not find God in studying the scriptures day and night, you will find God when you search for Him with all your heart, the scriptures are God's word not God Himself, this where you have gone astray Lady. If you knew me you would know I say this in love.
@Oskar Vuorinen Hello there, yes that's right, this dear lady is an example of how someone can still "fall away" even though she can quote entire books of the Bible. We need to walk with Jesus closely and not be decieved by lies from the devil, somewhere along the line unbelief has crept in her heart and from there she has been taken along a deceptive path.
@Oskar Vuorinen yes Amen
I didn't mean that God was not the Word to clarify it: I mean that just studying the scriptures day and night doesn't necessarily mean you know God, yes God does reveal Himself through His Word but if that is all you are doing and not searching for God Himself you without that relationship with the living Word Jesus Christ you will be filled with knowledge puffed up but not the knowledge of the Holy one
If you look at Collisions 2:3 you will agree that it is in Christ ALL the wisdom and knowledge are found ! How good is that scripture brother!

Truth of TRUTH
Component sounds
TA + RTH
TA the environment is perceivable to SA through its senses. RA, the repeated observations create the idea of predictability. Rthu, vrutth, round, rhythm etc. are of cyclical nature. English words starting with " re" represent events which happen again. Cyclical precision makes prediction possible. A predictable event in the environment is called TRUTH.
Great is the genius who correlated the sound " r r r " with the precise cyclically repeated events and expanded it to the word truth. Sound " r " is produced by the repeated contact and disconnect of tongue with palate. Sound " R r r " represents repeatability, from there to rthu, rhythm, VRUTTH, VRUTTHI. And TRUTH.
Satya of SATYA is that it's modifiable. Because SA is under the control of self. Anyone can decide to change the way he interacts with environment.
Truth of TRUTH is that it's not modifiable as TA is not under SA's control.
TATHYA of Indian languages is the YA of TA (that) & TA. SA just observes TA & TA (objects of perception) and forms an opinion about the interactive principle between them and calls it TATHYA ( the objective truth, fact). Objects of observation are not influenced by observing SA. TATHYA, truth is not modifiable by SA. The gas equation " pv=rt " is a TATHYA p,v & t are TA's observed by SA. The repeatability of the controlled interaction between Tas made the opinion a TATHYA.
Truth of TRUTH is that it is just predictability based on observation of repeatability or permanence of TA, the events perceived by SA

I like you Jen!!! Thanks for discussing this very important topic. You have just articulated how I think and what I believe to be the truest of Truth!! Energy is what we perceive as god.
Not good enough. It's not blind energy but super intelligent energy which I prefer to call as the great Consciousness which is energy in its purest and finest form and, which, according to one great "Sensitive" author Is the Only Reality in this apparent world of physical, material existence we are
all experiencing. Further, that it is in this Great Consciousness where we have and experience our being
and our sense of existence. Still, further, that all this is the Mind of God. Still with me?
Who is God?God in Jesus/yeshua name crushe the head of the devil while we are gapping and deliver us and we live, we can hear the struggle and the power of the lord who fight and deliver us in front of our eyes, this is what is God the savior who cares for us and have prepared for us the new life and eternal life, amen it is for us to embrace the new life to be save. Arjoon Seetaram pastor of this revelations .
If God is energy, what is the Spirit? (Genesis 1:2). The energy you are talking about has no "will". It does not love. It cannot create matter by itself not even living things. It is not sentient. It has no knowledge and wisdom. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Explain why an electric current from an outlet be "God".
How can you explain angels and demons, evil spirits, and all stories of peoples experiences with them.

Heaven or hell?
Prem, her answer is one All Christian are told. All children, not having reached the age of accountability upon their death are in heaven (even ones who have raped and murdered a sibling or neighbor’s child). Madness
A key question is WHY do you "want to believe in some kind of supreme being"? Just because that would be comforting? And what is the evidence for life after death? That would be living in what sort of state after death?

I was a Christian born and raised.
I stayed a Christian for many decades and eventually to know this god better I researched everything to understand this god I wanted to be with. I read the bible cover to cover.
My research to better find god took me away and now I am totally unconvinced by the claims of the supernatural.
As I am no longer convinced by the lack of 'good' evidence, I cannot believe.
I left christianity and went one stage further form yourself in that I see just a natural world.
No good evidence for any gods so being unconvinced I cannot believe.
Thanks Gray
Hello Gray! If you are really searching for the truth like everybody, read the "Last Testament" which is "The Quran". This book is still in its original language (Arabic) however, a good English translation is Sahih International. Feel free to ask any questions and have a good day!
@@charifmerouane2306 Thanks Charif, but I don't think you can get the truth from a book saying it's true. It's kind of circular just as a Christian saying the bible proves a god and the god write the bible.

We simply have no good reasons to believe. Of course the problem comes in with a Hindu/Christian/Muslim being raised in a religion and thinking it's true for them.
Each claim the same sort of things and non of them offer the truth which is we simply have no good evidence for the supernatural world.

It's a way in, as it were, a way to engage. We can also say that God is love and truth, which is essentially vibrational (energy) at a fundamental level. What descriptions have in common is that they are mental concepts. Essentially God is mystery, the best minds in the world have tried but can't define it. I don't think we can imagine God, but we can intuit. It's found at the level of the heart, and the head contained within the heart. To keep myself in check however I keep in mind that to a newt, God is a newt. The really big question is, "Who am I?" Therein lies the secret, in my opinion. Wishing you well with your channel. Very refreshing. I intend to keep watching!!
Great comment.
Me too !
Thank you, Mike! Glad it resonated with you!
I agree, Mike! Who the hell are we, in fact, and why are we on this planet? I heard of a teenage boy who was wondering about our place in the universe and he asked his grandmother "Why are we here?" The grandmother said "If you don't clean your room, you won't have to worry about that."
@@anonymousjohnson976 Shouldn't it be, "If you (do) cean your room..."? Otherwise, I don't get it.
I agree with you and appreciate you helping me to develop this line of thinking!
Hi Jen, your testimony just popped up last night. I doubt that the people with the negative comments have ever delved into the scriptures for as long and as deeply as you have.
Might I suggest a man on TH-cam by the name of Bill Donahue. He's a former pastor who explores the mystical meaning of the scriptures. Jesus always said the Kingdom of God is within and when we meditate we activate the pineal gland. Bill shows where in Biblical scriptures. Interesting that Golgotha is known as the "Skull". It's also interesting that Christian churches tell people to seek God but warn against " meditation" when Jesus told his deciples to go within, go into your closet and pray. I think the churches are afraid that if their congregations did this they wouldn't need them. By the way, I believe Bill Donahue also teaches that God is energy.
Why add mystical meaning to the scriptures when there is nothing mystical about it ? Read scripture in context, Golgotha is know as the skull because the formation of the rocks looked like one, and when Jesus said go into your closet he was speaking literally - pray in secret not like the teachers of the law praying aloud outside so that everyone would think them holy - see the context? It has absolutely nothing with going inside of yourself
@@mariabean1786 Jesus was not a singular person though. There were many messiahs.
@@A.S2400 Who were these other messiahs and how did they save? Only Jesus died and rose from the dead, and there was only One of Him
I would love to talk to you sometime. I am a recent absentee of Christianity. I have seen several of your videos and a lot rings true to me. Thank you for posting these videos.
Sure. Send me an email, or a Facebook message, or schedule time on my calendar.
All your sharing and talking is lifting yourself Up. I rather lift our great dearest Lord Jesus Christ Up above all else. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Did jesus say lift me up? worship me? sing for me? praise me? Nope! I thought Jesus did not like idolatry which you seem to adore?
@Rachel Davidson Yep. Correct - Jesus the rabbi taught that he was sent with a teaching about bringing humans to be part of God's family again; to be God's children. He also taught that humans could outperform him as long we transform ourselves into god's sons and daughters. We are then born again in spirit into this glorious relationship.Sadly, humans refused
as in the old testament story of the first family of Adam rebelling against God and the consequences that followed. So, when Jesus calls himself son of God, you too are a child of God likewise. John 10:34
Jesus replied, "Is it not written in your Law: 'I have said you are gods'? Psalm 82:6 (I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High). Psalm 82:1
A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the Gods.Ultimately, what separates us from GOD (the holy) is our rebelliousness otherwise God is always among us - as in Emmanuel. And the kingdom of God is always present.
@Rachel Davidson Use simple logic to unpack the message in the verse here. The scribe made a mistake in his translation. Jesus taught about God's kingdom, that God sent him, that he could not do anything on his own knowledge etc. - the verse states I am HE! That is carelessness of the scribe conflating a messenger with his sender. So just because it is written in the Bible God, Jesus said x,y, Z - you don't have to parrot out similarly unreasonably.
@Rachel Davidson Nope - sin separates us from God's kingdom. Remember Jesus' story about the prodigal son? He sinned but was reunited with his family after repentance. Same applies to the lost sheep. Jesus left 99 sheep to bring to the fold 1 sheep that got lost. So, Jesus came to save the lost sheep - i.e. every one that sins. The one you might call children of the devil. Jesus had a big heart! ❤️❤️
@Khew Mooi "All your sharing and talking is lifting yourself up ". Perfect comment

Hi Ex JW Woke Up! I'm an ex JDub too!
@@JenFishburne I know you ll say all religions are man made. I had the same doubts and I was confused, you are not alone.Many before you and me had the same experience. Why so much confusions ? A powerful GOD with many differents religions ,apparently differents messages with some contradictions and some people playing with the word of GOD by corrupting it and misinterpret it?.Personally as a muslim I investigated deeply in chistianity particurarly prophetic church and I learn a lot. I saw many unbeliveable things ,very sincere Christians man of GOD with many gift helping people by healing ,good teaching and I follow them for many years. Their teaching helped me a lot in my personnal life and even to understand and believe in what is written in my holy book quran. Through them i ve started to believe deeply in the existence of jesus and prophet muhammad in islam and all others men of GOD mentionned in the bible and the coran. They applied what jesus and GOD said in some parts of the bible and the coran and they had the results. My faith in GOD grew but I was still confused how GOD can speak to muslim, christian, buddhist, permit many miracles and still permit many false teachers in every religion to misguide people .I also followed the teaching of abraham hicks and many many good spirituals teacher teaching about meditation,energy and many others good subjects .I ve many many thing to say but it almost impossible for me to share many years of research and experiences through this message.I know you ll say everybody will claim that his religion is the best(Buddhist, Christian ,jew,muslim) but i can assure you sister with tears in my heart as i m writing this message that the solution is in the true islam ,not the islam you see in the media and practiced by many mulsims. Islam is more than a religion. It is the manual of human being reveal by GOD to bring clarity ,destroy falsehood and give Hope before the end of times.Islam is composed of two parts :the law(charia) and the spirituality(people call it sufism). Please, you re nothing to lose. read about islam ,coran and sufism. You il find answer to all your questions and have true peace of mind and heart.You ll even understand the secret behind all these confusions. Check for a youtube channel named "muhammadan way" for teaching about spirituality, God and energy. Trust me GOD has sent a protected message(the quran) ,not changed in 1400 years and memorized by millions.
@Lilia murah You seem very confused. What are you actually trying to say, briefly, in plain English?
I don't agree that 'energy is everything'. This is extreme reductionism and meaningless on its own. Consciousness for instance is not part of energy. To lump together all spiritual values all under 'energy' certainly doesn't make sense. Worship, love, beauty etc cannot be reduced to such a barren, impersonal concept. The ultimate conclusion of such a monstrous way of thinking can only be to worship 'energy'.
There is nothing 'new' here and the related 'law of attraction '. The New Thought movement 200 years ago influenced not only freemasonry, alternative health and the 'new age' mindset, but also the prosperity movement in Christian evangelism.
I am sorry that it took you so long to understand but happy that atleast now you understood this very simple thing which people don’t see especially due to their conditioning. This is common knowledge in Hinduism and we understand that and we also understand the science of god/energy consecration.
Please note Hinduism is not a religion it’s a way of life.
God created energy and everything
Energy has no beginning.

Proverbs 16:18 NASB1995
www.bible.com/100/pro.16.18.nasb1995
Let me tell you when and what God created. Billions of years ago,God created the Sun first. God love that the sun shines so beautiful he created a moon to interact with the sun. God loves his creation and so he created earth and other planets. God then made every planet orbit the sun. He loved that like how they moved around the sun. They looked alive but wasn't. Then God saw earth was not only was orbiting the sun,but it glowed. Yes, earth actually glows. Then God God took the moon and made it orbit the earth with the sun. God saw everything was absolutely beautiful. His creation even amazed him. God allowed his creation to do this for some time and then God, wanted life. He chose to bring life to earth out of the other planets because it glowed for God. Then God made life. He then made earth habital for life. A billion years from now he he created microorganisms. Millions of years ago he created life in water. Then he created dinosaurs. Then he created mammals. Dinosaurs roam earth for millions of years and then they became destuctive to each other the the echo system so God destroyed them. Millions of years went by and God was not happy with his creation. They were beautiful but they lacked something. So God created humans but his first were in Africa. In time, after hundreds of thousands of years, they grew tired of Africa and left and spreaded all over earth. God love every species he created. He left them be to figure out the world. He chose and chooses never to communicate with us until pass away. He didn't write any book, commandments,or tell us to sacrifice animals for us. God has never required a sacrifice nor ask anyone to do such a thing. That comes from man and and man. God is unknown. He has no name. We will all know him we are dead. God love what he created and still does. This is what I believe. The Bible, Quran,Vedas,Vestras,and any other religious book does not speak for God. God speaks to people directly if he chooses and it has nothing to do with the Bible. There is no need for me to read the Bible than is for you to read the other religions books. God is just love and that's it.
God is a word that comes out of your mouth
So?
@@JenFishburne yahweh is a 3rd person verb El is a Semetic word for God
I just now accidentally stumbled on this thread. Jen has some very interesting things to say, at least from my perspective as a Buddhist (and also a big fan of Science). What amazes me is the number of bitter, angry people in the comments below. Jen has a different take on God than you do, it's no big deal. Let her speak.
Thank you for your observation. I have found that there are many haters out in cyberspace. Even I have been attacked with my own personal written comments on many different sites, be it current events, religion, or racism that had nothing to do with these unseen people. I was astonished that me being unknown would trigger anger in someone I didn’t know. I have even been told to leave America. I enjoyed hearing from Jen Fishburne because she accomplished what I created a goal in January of 2019 to seek and that goal was to learn to read Hebrew and then read the Bible in the language spoken during the time it was written. Well my goal diminished over time for many reasons not related to the goal. Miss Jen not only accomplished this goal she also continued her search for knowledge in so many diverse arenas and now shares her journey with us. I find that brave and find her quite interesting. Plus she doesn’t present her journey evolving from anger or abuse or disillusionment. She presents her personal journey from her own inquisitiveness. Peace, great health and joy to you, your family and to Miss Jen and her family. My background-As of now I am giving myself space from Protestant Christianity (I recently was momentarily interested in messianic Judaism) in which I was born into through a dysfunctional family that raised me in a Swedish covenant church. The name of the church holds no significant meaning to me, in terms of the title including the word Swedish, because it was presented in English and held no Swedish traditions. My immigrant Swedish grandfather was a Swedish covenant minister who died when I was a toddler. My mother was a first generation Sicilian catholic that converted when she married my father, a duplicitous preacher’s son in the 1940s after WWII. The home lacked the Jesus teachings of love and forgiveness and embraced all the judgments and hypocrisy of kindnesses. I grew up anxious and afraid. I applaud all that seek to believe and live in kindness and equality for all.
@@Fiawordweaver The good news is, you don't have to obey the haters nor take their angry comments to heart. Sometimes I like to fool with them a little, but mostly I ignore their "orders." They have no power and they know it, this is why they get frustrated when anyone disagrees with them. Be yourself, believe what makes sense to you. As the Chinese sage Chuang Tzu wrote: "Don't worry about it! Let things be. How can we understand it all in one day?"

Thank you ! u explained where my head is at ! Makes it clearer
Yes,, WE ARE NOT HUMANS,, WE ARE SOULS/ ENERGY who are having a brief human experience... BUT ,,PLEASE PLEASE DONT DENY JESUS,
"While my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by and I will take away my hand and thou shalt see my back parts, but my face shall not be seen" said God to Moses in Exodus 33:22-23
Apart from the glory, this means one thing to me. God is a man who doesnt want to be recognised.
Consciousness/awareness is a form of energy.
🐟 06. CONSCIOUSNESS/AWARENESS:
Consciousness means “that which knows” or “the state of being aware”, from the Latin prefix “con” (with), the stem “scire” (to know) and the suffix “osus” (characterized by). There is BOTH a localized knowing and a Universal Awareness, as explicated in the following paragraphs.
Higher species of animal life have sufficient cognitive ability to know themselves and their environment, at least to a measurable degree. The brain is merely a conduit or TRANSDUCER of Universal Consciousness (i.e. Brahman), explaining why the more intelligent the animal, the more it can understand its own existence (or at least be aware of more of its environment - just see how amazingly-complex dolphin behaviour can be, compared with other aquatic species), and the reason why it is asserted that a truly enlightened human must possess a far higher level of intelligence than the average person. See Chapter 17 to understand the distinction between enlightenment and mere awakening.
Three STATES of awareness are experienced by humans and possibly all other species of mammals:
the waking state (“jāgrata”, in Sanskrit), dreaming (“svapna”, in Sanskrit), and deep-sleep (“suṣupti”, in Sanskrit). Beyond these three temporal states is the fourth “state” (“turīya” or “caturīya”, in Sanskrit). That is the unconditioned, eternal “state”, which underlies the other three.
The waking state is the LEAST real (that is to say the least permanent, or to put it another way, the farthest from the Necessary Ground of Existence, or to put it another way, the farthest from the Ground of Existence, as explained towards the end of this chapter). The dream state is closer to our eternal nature, whilst dreamless deep-sleep is much more aalogousnalogous to The Universal Self (“brahman”), as it is imbued with peace. So, in actual fact, the fourth state is not a state, but the Unconditioned Ground of Being, or to put it simply, YOU, the real self/Self, or Formless Awareness (“sacchidānanda”, in Sanskrit).
Perhaps the main purpose of dreams is so that we can understand that the waking-state is practically indistinguishable to the dream-state, and thereby come to see the ILLUSION of this ephemeral world. Both our waking-state experiences and our dream-state experiences occur solely within the mental faculties (refer to Chapter 04 for an elucidation of this phenomenon). If somebody in one of your dreams were to ask your dream-state character if the dream was real, you (playing the part of that character) would most likely say, “yes, of course this is real!” Similarly, if someone were to ask your waking-state character if this world is real, you would almost undoubtedly respond in kind.
An apt analogy for Universal Consciousness is the manner in which electricity powers a variety of appliances and gadgets, according to the use and COMPLEXITY of the said device. Electricity powers a washing machine in a very simple manner, to drive a large spindle for laundering clothes. However, the very same electrical power may be used to operate a computer to manifest an astonishing range of outputs, such as playing audiovisual tracks, communication tasks and performing extremely advanced mathematical computations, depending on the computer's software and hardware. The more advanced/complex the device, the more complex its manifestation of the same electricity.
Using the aforementioned computer analogy: the brain is COMPARATIVELY equivalent to the computer hardware, deoxyribonucleic acid akin to the operating system working in conjunction with the memory, the intellect is equivalent to the processing unit, individuated consciousness is analogous to the software programme, whilst Universal Awareness is likened to the electricity which enlivens the entire computer system.
A person who is comatosed has lost any semblance of local consciousness, yet is being kept alive by the presence of Universal Consciousness.
So, then, one could complain: “That's not fair - why can only a genius be enlightened?” (as defined in Chapter 17).
The answer is: first of all, as stated above, every species of animal has its own level of intelligence on a wide-ranging scale. Therefore, a pig or a dog could (if possible) ask: “That's unfair - why can only a human being be enlightened?”
Secondly, it is INDEED a fact that life is unfair, because there is no “tit for tat” law of action and reaction, even if many supposedly-great religious preceptors have stated so. They said so because they were preaching to wicked miscreants who refused to quit their evil ways, and needed to be chastized in a forceful manner. It is not possible to speak gentle words to a rabid dog to prevent it from biting you.
There is evidence of Consciousness being a universal field, in SAVANT SYNDROME, a condition in which someone with significant mental disabilities demonstrate certain abilities far in excess of the norm, such as superhuman rapid mathematical calculation, mind-reading, blind-seeing, or astounding musical aptitude. Such behaviour suggests that there is a universal field (possibly in holographic form) from which one can access information. Even simple artistic inspiration could be attributed to this phenomenon. The great British singer-songwriter, Sir James Paul McCartney, one day woke with the complete tune of the song, “Yesterday”, in his mind, after hearing it in a dream. American composer, Paul Simon, had a similar experience when the chorus of his sublime masterpiece, “Bridge Over Troubled Water”, simply popped into his head.
In recent years, the term “CONSCIOUSNESS” has been used in esoteric spiritual circles (usually capitalised) to refer to a far more Homogeneous Consciousness (“puruṣa”, in Sanskrit), due to the fact that the English language doesn’t include a single word denoting the Universal Ground of Being (for instance “Brahman”, “Tao”, in other tongues). The word “Awareness” (capitalized) is arguably a more apposite term for this concept.
The typical person believes that the apparatus which knows the external world is his mind (via the five senses), but more perceptive individuals understand that the mind itself is cognizable by the intellect. Wise souls recognize that the sense of self (the pseudo-ego) is the perceiver of their intellects, whereas awakened persons have realized that the true self/Self is the witness of ALL these temporal phenomena.
The true self is synonymous with Consciousness, or with Infinite Awareness, or the Undifferentiated Unified Field (“Brahman”, in Sanskrit).
The Tao (The Reality [lit. The Way, The Path, or The Road]) which can be expressed in language is not the REAL Tao. All concepts are, by nature, relative, and at most, can merely point to the Absolute. That explains why some branches of theology use the apophatic method of discerning The Infinite (“neti neti”, [not this, not that], in Sanskrit). Also known in Latin as “via negativa” or “via negationis” theology, this philosophical approach to discovering the essential nature of Reality, gradually negates each description about Ultimate Reality, but not Reality Itself.
Ultimate Reality (“Brahman”, in Sanskrit) alone is real - “real” in the sense that it is the never-mutable substratum of ALL existence. The wisest of the philosophers of ancient India distinguished the “real” from the “unreal” (“sat/asat”, in Sanskrit) by whether or not the “thing“ was eternal or ephemeral (cf. Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad 1:3:28, Bhagavad-gītā 2:16, et altri).
Gross material objects (such as one's own body) and subtle material objects (such as thoughts) are always changing, and therefore not “real”.
REALITY is clearly seen by those self-realized persons who have experienced spiritual awakenings (which occur either spontaneously, or after a gradual process over many months or years), yet only intellectually understood by those who have merely studied spiritual topics (that is, those who have practiced one of the four systems of religion described in Chapter 16 but have yet to awaken to their essential nature).
“If you remain as you are now, you are in the wakeful state. This is abolished in the dream state.
The dream state disappears, when you are in deep sleep. The three states come and go, but you are always there.
Your real state, that of Consciousness itself, continues to exist always and forever and it is the only Reality.”
*************
“The ego is the identified consciousness. When the impersonal Consciousness identifies itself with the personal organism, the ego arises.”
*************
“The only true meditation is the constant impersonal witnessing of all that takes place in one’s life as mere movements in the universal Consciousness.”
*************
“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”

German Theoretical Physicist.

I think your line of reasoning is logical and fascinating to follow along with. I am really glad to have found your channel. I was raised to believe in the Bible and Christianity, but in 2006 I started to question all of my beliefs about everything. I hit the reset button and began from scratch to slowly allow into my belief system only things that made sense to the logical part of my mind. There are not many beliefs in there right now. Lol. Who really knows what is true about anything really? Where's the proof? Makes sense to me though that we didn't come from nothing, so we had to have been created, and so it follows that we have a Creator, one who/that is obviously enormously intelligent and powerful. Beyond that, there are only questions and no concrete answers as to how we got here, why we're here, what happens after we die, why is there so much suffering, why is there so much evil in this world and why would our Creator allow it to continue, etc.is anyone's guess and it must not be that important to know or our Creator would and could have made the answers accessible and clearly identifiable/unmistakable to ALL through an inner knowing, not through any external source. I still want to know, and it's so much fun to try to come up with possible answers and hear others' guesses. In the end, we believe what we do because we WANT to believe.

Jen, the scriptures show an honesty that can't be disproven and yes it takes the gift of faith to believe but so much witness of real people to Christs resurrection arenot just an impersonal energy but validation of real and honest people led by Word and Spirit. A real living moral God concerned about His creation with answers to good and evil and plan for those who believe in and live for Him and others.
James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
God is a person; he is not universe, energy. He is more real than you and he is your creator. Your mind can never comprehend him because he is a Spirit. It will take your spirit that is made alive by him to comprehend him
Sounds like mysticism.
I don't see enough people studying the origins of the Bible, who collected the books and assembled the New Testament, the earthly influences of all the changes made and the loose interpretations of the truth. My discovery of reality has set me free. I wish the clergy would not continue the lie. What a good day that would be!
chapter 112 sura

1. Say, “He is God, the One.
2. God, the Absolute.
3. He begets not, nor was He begotten.
4. And there is none comparable to Him.”
The first verse in the Bible, Genesis 1:1 tells us that God has created everything - including all matter and energy. This means that God can't be identical to the universe, nor can He be identical to any aspect of the universe. Since energy is part of the created universe, we must conclude that God can't be energy.
I would like to say how much I appreciate your videos. They are extremely honest, well researched, concise and more to the point they are very interesting. In this latest video you have gone into great detail describing "God" as energy. This concept is not new ,however, I'm struggling to rectify this concept of energy with the biblical physical interactions with "God" as written throughout the Bible.
Could you please help with the anthropomorphication of energy in these physical interactions? If God is energy just who or what are all these people interacting with? How does energy speak, walk, heal and move about with humanity? You ask to replace the name or title of God with the word Energy yet throughout the bible wherever God is mentioned it is usually done so as a human manifestation or with human attributes. This may provide greater clarity in energy as God.
I am the truly interested in learning more on this subject.
Thank you!
My apologies to you, Jen for superimposing my own take on this concept of energy you seemed to be groping about. I m not as well read as you, not by a long shot, but just working on nothing but intuition(God?).
God is not an energy he created it .everything he is ,is uncreated .
Energy has no personality but has some properties , energy cannot perceive can not communicate, cannot feel
🐟 02. A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF “LIFE”:
Everything, both perceptible and imperceptible - that is, any gross or subtle OBJECT within the material universe which can ever be perceived with the cognitive faculties, plus the SUBJECT (the observer of all phenomena) - is to what most persons generally refer when they use the term “God”, since they usually conceive of the Primeval Creator as being the Perfect Person, and “God” (capitalized) is a personal epithet of the Unconditioned Absolute. However, this anthropomorphized conception of The Absolute is a fictional character of divers mythologies.
According to most every enlightened sage in the history of this planet, Ultimate Reality is, far more logically, Absolutely NOTHING, or conversely, Absolutely EVERYTHING - otherwise called “The Tao”, “The Great Spirit”, “Brahman”, “Pure Consciousness”, “Eternal Awareness”, “Independent Existence”, “The Ground of All Being”, “Uncaused Nature”, “The Undifferentiated Substratum of Reality”, “The Unified Field”, et cetera - yet, as alluded to above, inaccurately referred to as a personal deity by the masses (e.g. “God”, “Allah”, “Yahweh”, “Bhagavan”, etc.).
In other words, rather than the Supreme Truth being a separate, Blissful, Supra-Conscious Being (The Godhead Himself or The Goddess), Ultimate Reality is Eternal-Existence Limitless-Awareness Unconditional-Peace ITSELF. That which can be perceived, can not be perceiving!
Because the Unmanifested Absolute is infinite creative potentiality, “it” actualizes as EVERYTHING, in the form of ephemeral, cyclical universes. In the case of our particular universe, we reside in a cosmos consisting of space-time, matter and energy, without, of course, neglecting the most fundamental dimension of existence (i.e. conscious awareness - although, “it” is, being the subject, by literal definition, non-existent).
Just as a knife cannot cut itself, nor the mind comprehend itself, nor the eyes see themselves, The Absolute cannot know Itself (or at least objectively EXPERIENCE Itself), and so, has manifested this phenomenal universe within Itself for the purpose of experiencing Itself, particularly through the lives of self-aware beings, such as we sophisticated humans. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness, in the same way that a dream is a person's sleeping narrative set within the life-story of an “awakened” individual.
APPARENTLY, this phenomenal universe was created with the primal act (the so-called “Big Bang”), which started, supposedly, as a minute, slightly uneven ball of light, which in turn, was instigated, ultimately, by Extra-Temporal Supra-Consciousness. From that first deed, every motion or action that has ever occurred has been a direct (though, almost exclusively, an indirect) result of it.
Just as all the extant energy in the universe was once contained within the inchoate singularity, Infinite Consciousness was NECESSARILY present at the beginning of the universe, and is in no way an epiphenomenon of a neural network. Discrete consciousness, on the other hand, is entirely dependent on the neurological faculty of individual animals (the more highly-evolved the species, the greater its cognitive abilities).
“Sarvam khalvidam brahma” (a Sanskrit maxim from the “Chandogya Upanishad”, meaning “all this is indeed Brahman” or “everything is the Universal Self alone”). There is NAUGHT but Eternal Being, Conscious Awareness, Causeless Peace - and you are, quintessentially, that!
This “Theory of Everything” can be more succinctly expressed by the mathematical equation: E=A͚ (Everything equates to Infinite Awareness).
HUMANS are essentially this Eternally-Aware-Peace, acting through an extraordinarily-complex biological organism, comprised of the eight rudimentary elements - pseudo-ego (the assumed sense of self), intellect, mind, solids, liquids, gases, heat (fire), and ether (three-dimensional space). When one peers into a mirror, one doesn't normally mistake the reflected image to be one's real self, yet that is how we humans conventionally view our ever-mutating form. We are, rather, in a fundamental sense, that which witnesses all transitory appearances.
Everything which can be presently perceived, both tangible and immaterial, including we human beings, is a culmination of that primary manifestation. That is the most accurate and rational explanation for “karma” - everything was preordained from the initial spark, and every action since has unfolded as it was predestined in ETERNITY, via an ever-forward-moving trajectory. The notion of retributive (“tit-for-tat”) karma is just that - an unverified notion. Likewise, the idea of a distinct, reincarnating “soul” or “spirit” is largely a fallacious belief.
Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves, is the result of two factors - our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning (which may include mutating genetic code). Every choice ever made by every human and non-human animal was determined by those two factors ALONE. Therefore, free-will is purely illusory, despite what most believe. Chapter 11 insightfully demonstrates this truism.
As a consequence of residing within this dualistic universe, we experience a lifelong series of fluctuating, transient pleasures and pains, which can take the form of physical, emotional, and/or financial pleasure or pain. Surprisingly to most, suffering and pain are NOT synonymous.
Suffering is due to a false sense of personal agency - the belief that one is a separate, independent author of one’s thoughts, emotions, and deeds, and that, likewise, other persons are autonomous agents, with complete volition to act, think, and feel as they wish. Another way of stating the same concept is as follows: suffering is due to the intellect being unwilling to accept life as it manifests moment by moment.
There are five SYMPTOMS of suffering, all of which are psychological in nature:
1. Guilt
2. Blame
3. Pride
4. Anxiety
5. Regrets about the past and expectations for the future
These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above - that life is a series of happenings and NOT caused by the individual living beings. No living creature, including Homo sapiens, has personal free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded when he scribed “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”
The human organism is essentially a biopsychological machine, comprised of the five gross material elements (which can be perceived with the five senses) and the three subtle material elements (the three levels of cognition, which consist of abstract thought objects), listed above.
The ANTIDOTE to all mental anguish is to firstly discern pain from suffering, then to achieve complete relief from that miserable state of existence, by abandoning the erroneous belief in personal authorship, and abiding in the primordial sense of being (the unqualified “I am”, which is one's core identity). This is the very same peace which is experienced each night during the dreamless phase of the sleep cycle. This 'resting imperturbably as Flawless Awareness' can be practiced on a regular basis, until it is fully assimilated and integrated into one's life.
Every person, from time immemorial, has been either intentionally or unwittingly seeking such causeless peace, most commonly by practicing one of the four systems of YOGA (religion) delineated in the sixteenth chapter of this work, or else in creating wealth and the acquisition of material possessions, or in psycho-physical pleasures. That peace of mind is often referred to as “happiness”, “joy”, or “love”, and often presumed to be a temporal state, since many assume, incorrectly, that continuous peace is unavailable in this life.
Fortunately, that is not the case - it is eminently possible to live one's life acquainted with unbroken peace of mind, if destined.
Cont...
Following DHARMA (frameworks of authentic religion and societal duties) is not guaranteed to achieve that desired tranquillity of mind, but even so, it is beneficial for individuals, since it establishes a structure which enables one to more easily elevate oneself beyond the mundane, animalistic platform (i.e. the base pursuits of eating, sleeping and mating). Intrinsic to dharma is the division of the adult male population into the four classes of society and the inherent role of girls and women in society, as fully elucidated in latter chapters of this Holy Scripture.
So, now that you understand life, and the reason why we are suffering here in this (ostensively) material universe, you are now able to become liberated from all mental suffering, RIGHT?
WRONG! It is imperative to approach an authentic spiritual master to assist you to come to the above realization, by slowly undoing your past conditioning. Just as you have been conditioned over an entire lifetime to think one way, you need to be re-conditioned to think another way (in alignment with your essential identity as The Divine). For one who has himself for a teacher, that man has a veritable fool as his teacher.
Even if you adhere closely to the precepts of a competent teacher, you may still not come to a full understanding of life, but if you are sincere, humble and dedicated, you will definitely find more peace in your daily life - all of which was DESTINED to occur, of course.
Furthermore, if you are suitably-qualified and it was ordained, you may be fortunate enough to receive discipline from one of the EXTREMELY rare fully-enlightened masters residing on earth at any given time (perchance even the current World Teacher himself), and subsequently realize the aforementioned fundamental concepts, by diligently studying authoritative doctrines (especially the most accurate and complete of all extant Scriptures, this “Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”), serving your guru with great reverence and devotion, and by deliberately avoiding undue harm to oneself, to other individuals, to society as a whole, and to the natural environment, including other life forms.
Most beneficially, you are urged to become VEGAN, since carnism (the destructive ideology which supports the use and consumption of animal products, especially for “food”) is, apart from illegitimate (non-monarchical) governance and feminism, arguably the foremost existential crisis.
Best wishes for your unique, personal journey towards unalloyed peace and HAPPINESS!

Jen's basic conclusion is that God is universal energy. She is not asserting that god is a metaphor for universal energy, but that it is actually universal energy. She posits the Hebrew gods of Yahweh and El, who were eventually combined to become the monotheistic deity Jehovah/Allah/ Lord of Abrahamic faiths, is actually just a recognition and naming of universal energy as god. Basically, her entire proposal is "god" is just the deification of energy.
Her position that this universal energy is omniscient, compassionate, merciful and gracious, relies on the universal energy being conscious, or having consciousness. In other words, her assertions rely heavily on transferring the qualities and morals of human consciousness to this universal energy, so it can then be deified.
I find it intriguing that when energy can be perceived to have compassion or mercy or grace, she runs with it, yet when energy can be seen as angry and vindictive and punitive, she reverses her position and asserts that this isn't god/energy inflicting itself willingly upon us, its just nature. That's trying to have it both ways. It surprises me that she does not recognise her own use of informal, logical fallacies and straw man arguments to defend her position.
I very much respect Jen's knowledge of the topic of the history of Abrahamic faiths and how they've evolved. I have learnt much from her. However, the positions she presents and defends here seem to be nothing more than a transferal of faith from Jehovah and Jesus to a new-age universal deity, or in other words, a deity of universal energy.. Her position still requires the suspension of rational thought, and revisionist reasoning, that all religious faith requires.
Metaphors and allegory should always be recognised as descriptive language tools. Jen seems to have confused, or conflated, her metaphors with what she now projects god to be. Projecting human qualities upon universal energy or natural phenomena to create a deity, is the fashion in which people have created god/s for time immemorial.
Jen posits that energy is gracious and energy is wise and energy is love, energy is consciousness etc. These things may be, and have, energy, but that is different to asserting that energy is those things. Love may be an energy, but energy itself is not love. Consciousness may be an energy, but energy itself is not, or has no, consciousness. The use of the informal fallacy of 'seems like' or 'looks like' is usually used by far less educated people than herself to defend that which they posit.
Thanks for the feedback, Brendon. This was not my best video. I need to update it.
Hi Jen - your talks are very interesting. I too no longer consider my self a "Christian" and I never felt comfortable saying that I was. I could never understand how I was supposed to have a "personal relationship" with Christ. It always sounded weird to me. However, I can totally understand a "Christ-like" figure teaching that we must love and serve each-other. If Christ did exist, I find it hard to believe that he would have wanted us to worship him. I mean why does God need to be worshiped anyway? It's makes much more sense that God/Christ would want us to recognize and value the "God/Spirit" within each other. Can you imagine what the world would be like if we treated each other as God in disguise?
I think people hide behind the bible rather than live and love in the present moment with those they encounter in real life.
Wow, so well said. I never understand the worship concept either. Sure it feels good to extend love & praise but ppl act like God needed this from us and so many Christians weeping in sadness about the life of Jesus. It boggles my mind since a kid. I kept seeking & searching and found my greatest freedom & joy when I learned to love myself and look inward, it allowed me to have sincere self love & sincere friendships without condemnation toward myself and judgement toward others.
I agree that if we understood the spirit within ourselves and others and loved and uplifted one another and stopped hiding behind judgemental, condemning religions we would all be better off.
It always makes me sad when I hear how excited Christians are to talk about others who are going to hell. It’s a religion of arrogance and self-righteousness.
I’ve never been happier since removing myself. It was hard because of the guilt and shame we were taught but it gets so good in life. My depression completely ended. I was no longer a doormat. Intelligent conversations began instead of touchy feely whoa is me ones.
The problem I notice is that many who leave Christianity though… tend to want to teach the world their new beliefs. What if we all have our own powerful destiny to follow.
Christ never told us to worship him, I am not aware of one verse where he says to. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@simplifiedlife8607 I agree. Jesus never said to worship him. He also never claimed to be God
Too much knowledge without wisdom, Running after every wind of doctrine and philosophies of men. The fallen el had the knowledge of the All and became prideful and departed from the presence of the Light. Your doctrine is not truth, though it has some truthful information. Knowledge is not wisdom although knowledge is power, that corrupts. Knowledge without wisdom for one's own authority is not good but evil. This Is idolatry and worship of self. Jesus/ Y'hovah Elohim IS, I Am, the substitution for our weakness and death in the flesh. God is love through, in and creator of the ALL. Your Glorying is not good. It's self serving and decietful, of self and others.
This is fundamental principle of Ifa philosophy of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. It's also the basic principle of a lot of animistic Earth/nature based spiritual traditions. Funny how they were mocked as being primitive and backward for not following an Abrahamic perspective, but modern science is showing they knew what they were talking about. When they said everything has life= everything is made up of energy. When they said all life is connected=all expressions of energy is connected. Now we're all talking about Global warming and ecology because we see the negative effects of the imbalance. They told us that nature was made for man to dominate. We told them man is a part of nature and we have to live in balance with it, not dominate it.... Well now look. How's that domination working for us? Now we're all scrambling to do what? Yup, that's right, find that balance and harmony. We call the people in the rain forests primitive. But let global warming and the effects knock out all our technological tools. Whose the ones who will survive because they know how to provide food, clothing and shelter? We scoff at huts..... but can we make one? Our arrogance will be the death of us if we don't get it in check. Life itself is the greatest miracle there is. Why can't we just appreciate that instead of looking for Harry Potter and Superman?
I love this ☀️
Well said Truth Teacher. I usually don't make comments, however, you're right. I went from Christianity to Islam and now African, Native American cosmology which is scientific as well. She should read The Tao of Physics.
Energy is a matter (substance) that can be measured and can be controlled !
Can we measure GOD or can we control GOD?!
If the answer is “yes” , it means GOD = Energy.
If the answer is “NO” , then GOD is independent.
Conservation Law was made by Newton ! , had GOD also been made by Newton?!
One more thing, GOD doesn’t change from one form to another , GOD is one and only one ; HE is not a liquid , not a gas and not a solid , HE is not like any thing ; he is not a quantity within the range of any type of measurement, he’s not a melting point , not a boiling point , not a freezing point , not a radiation , not enthalpy , not entropy, not a sound , not a light , not a wind , not a sand ….etc.
All universal energy eventually will be sucked in the “black hole” , but GOD will not.
Great answer Mohammed! May Allah guide her.

This perspective in terms of a philosophy of God would be pantheism. Essentially God is all things and all things is God.
This is just new age. Been there done that. What about dark energy. It was all good until I struck dark forces. They were so real, and I was not focusing on anything dark at all. I can't say who God is but I do know that what you are saying is not the truth.

Sounds like she found her way away from God. I've seen this many times, now the battle for her mind begins. Good luck Jenn.
She never truly KNEW Him.
I'd say she has become freed to understand and experience "God" in a more enlightened and expansive way. In other words her own "spirit" is no longer constrained by narrow and inconsistant views of "God" from ancient, misunderstood texts that people try to apply literally to today's life causing many to suffer needlessly.
@@eviola999 One day we will understand. and if there's nothing after death, well that's even better.
This isn't uncommon and there is a reason why. It appears that even the angels rebelled against god.
Bc the bible is a bias book the real reason why Satan rebelled may never be known.
Language speaks for itself. From Sumer to America language have caused so much confusion. As a result some ppl research to find that god appears to be two-faced. He's good and evil simultaneously.
The silly question. If God is good then why he allow evil. Lol That's bc god is a good devil.
God is a gangster. They depicted him in the movie: "The God Father" aka Father God or God the Father.
WarLord, Drug Lord and landlord are gods too.
The only thing we don't recognize is that a god can be either good or evil. The god of the babel appears to be evil. Not to fret bc ppl love evil.

@Rachel Davidson I was born into a Christian family, served diligently in what you Christians will call the vineyard and also attended two separate bible schools before I left the church. I actually started understanding the bible when I left the noise and started reading for myself and double checking. From my research I have been doing for 12 years since I left the church, everything she is saying is the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
What is God = the One Divine Being as revealed to the Israelites in the Old Testament; the God of Abraham.

@@richardverrall534 You are just parroting uncritically what catholic theologians inserted in the Bible. The Bible says - love god with your heart & brain. So, take a leaf from science or philosophy. How can god be a number 1 or or 3? _Jesus taught that god is spirit. Want more? Read the old testament - like Isaiah and Job's book.
Yes! God is in and through everything! Everywhere in everything! Look for ME, I am there.
If “energy” is the single source of all creation/existence, surely it must be considered corrupt(ed) or flawed, when we experience its failures and inconsistencies.
The metaphor of "The Force" sums up what you're saying here. We are part of it and it is part of us. It surrounds and binds everything. In Star Wars, there is "The Living Force" and "The Cosmic Force"; That which energizes and animates life and that which the universe is comprised of that is not animated, as life is. When one dies, they become one with The Cosmic Force. It seems to me that the universe is conscious and we are symbiotic with that consciousness. The creation observing itself.
I love the way you put that!
I'm guessing each generation, culture & movement has grappled with universal life issues. Who are we, where did we come from, apes etc. what is our purpose?
In the mix comes up God / Gods, higher being, spirit or not.
Tho a professing non Christian or past Christian, you can appear to b stuck in the Bible, to solve the God riddle.
Many many religions explain the God / man concept, some even profess the superiority of man, absence of God.
Unfortunately todays talk seems a little light on, in man logic & reason.
The concept of thermal dynamics/energy is pretty recent, a few centuries, so trying to substitute it back into ancient writing, is like saying....when they said 'I can see into ur heart', from ancient writings, they were actually referring to an x-ray machine.
Concepts of energy, pure or otherwise, are extremely limiting in explaining our physical world, can't go below the surface.
Light, gravity, heat, radiation, electricity, follow the laws of nature but remain inanimate. We are animate, intricately designed, thinking, caring being no amount of random energy explains a designed world.
Love of course is no random energy.
Design & creation is explained thru intelligence which points to a God, but of course doesn't define that God.
The 2 part design of the Bible of course just splits up the 1 story. The New Testiment focuses initially on Son of God, Jesus, then post Easter on stage 2 of God interacting with man via the indwelling of his spirit.
That brings about another split, Peter going back to the Jews/Israelites & Paul heading to Rome & Gentiles / US to share the Good, God NEWS.
Bless ur Day Allan
You’re not the first and certainly will not be the last confused person in the world. Majority of the people will leave this world more confuse than when they came into this confused world.
Matter, energy, and love, are 3 sides of the same coin
A coin with 3 sides? 😂
You get so much haters. Bless you Sister
We can see energy but nobody can see God who is Spirit. For God is more powerfull than energy for Moses just to see the face of God He would die. Thats why anybody can see energy but God is more than energy.
Jesus was God come to earth in human form he did not come as a bolt of energy this lady is wrong!
I came to the same conclusion this year about 'God'. It is really a relief to see this video.
Thanks, Eh!
In Islam Power is one of the attributes of the God. Energy is created by the Almighty. No need to confuse the law with the law giver. There's a truth in your conclusion, but it's not the whole truth. Look into attributes of God in Islamic theology, you will see the whole truth.

We are living in last days be careful lot of fault teaching around us. Bible says this . Every thing written in bible we can see now. Please ready the bible and understand.
The "last days" were in reference to the last days of Israel's Old Covenant before they came into their New Covenant in the first century.
None of that has anything to do with us today.
I know my Bible well, thank you. That's how I studied my way right out of it.
What about 2 Timothy 3v1 - 17 ? Did you study that? As it speaks of last days ..the bible ultimately is all about Jesus He even said so himself in conversation with the Pharisees so if you studied and know the bible but didn’t come to Him you have read but not understood John 5v39

how nice to hear this from you, I have also gone through similar, began to wonder why Christians behave completely wash Jesus, when I started asking questions no one could answer, but the worst thing is that they judge you and say that the spirit of Satan is in you and do not accept that someone starts to hesitate, my husband left me because I could not believe anymore and that I did not believe in the bible, I felt very alone that period and I I was born a Christian and Jesus was my whole life but suddenly my view of the bible changed in search of truth, now I am awake and have realized that religion is the work of man, I believe in God who created everything through energy

@The Sight of Sound God has nothing to do with the Bible.
@The Sight of Sound ,I had near death experience in 2017 from a snake bite. I went to a place I can't explain to this day and it had absolutely nothing to do with the Bible at all. If was peaceful. I saw animals all over grass. I saw a large river. I saw colors I've never seen on earth before. I had no physical body whatsoever. There was no fear. There no Judgement. There was no Jesus. There were no demons. There were no angles. Words can't describe that place. A loving presence appeared right by my right side. I felt its positive energy. It was God's presence. This loving presence told me your body is dead for now but not long. I said really? He yes. Then he said you want to cross over and see the others? I thought about my kids and said no. God actually laughed. Yes,God has a sense of humor. He told me if you cross over, you'll never have to wash your clothes again. You see,I don't like washing clothes and God knew. He made a joke and I laughed. Then God said,OK,you can go back but I'm disappointed you won't stay. And just like that, God shot some kind of light right at me and I woke up in the ambulance. This was the truest thing I've ever felt. So,yes, I've experienced God but it had nothing to with the Biblical God.
@@stevemclendsy3911 Sounds similar to what my wife experienced long time ago when she was 14 back in 1979 and undergoing heart surgery. They had her heart out on the operating table and had to stop it temporarily. During that time she said she "woke up" and thought the surgery was done and noticed that she didn't feel any pain or heaviness like before. She looked over to her right and saw a hallway leading from the operating room that she didn't remember seeing before. She felt compelled to go to that hallway out of curiosity. From what I remember her saying, she found herself going to that hallway without much or any effort, maybe floating, not sure, and noticed that the hallway floor was make of stairsteps but it wasn't going up or down, just across, hard to explain. She went down the hallway and when she got to the end of it she saw basically the same stuff you described - animals, grass, no fear, etc. She said it resembled a nice spring afternoon and she saw people walking around dressed in regular looking clothes and some having picnics and there were balloons, etc. She started to step into this other world and heard a male voice tell her it wasn't her time yet. She said it resembled life here, it was completely different at the same time. She is sure she was dead and saw the afterlife. And she wasn't a christian when it happened either. After she really woke up from the surgery, she looked over to where the hallway was and just saw a regular wall like before. Almost sounds like twilight zone. There's multiple ways of looking at this, and I don't know which way would be correct, if any, but just wanted to share that with you since both of your stories resemble closely.
@@rabbrock3748 , that sounds awesome and I believe it.
@@stevemclendsy3911 In that post you shared about your afterlife experience you wrote "Then God said, OK, you can go back but I'm disappointed you won't stay." Boy that's unusual to hear. Usually with reading or listening to those types of experiences the person is always told to go back, that it's not their time yet or something along those lines. Almost like the whole idea of them being on the other side and free from this hellhole on earth is frowned on in some way.

@Rachel Davidson do you just come to the comment section to attack people? Your eagerness causes you to drop half-baked ideas that end in nonsense. Have you never heard the phrase: "Think before you speak"? If not, now you have... please do so.
@Rachel Davidson no-one will be judge by God of the Bible. As I said before,I believe in God but not God of the Bible.
Firstly, I feel you are anthropomorphizing energy and calling it God without adequate justification. You say things like ''energy is slow to anger'' ''energy is all knowing'' etc. This is the most obvious problem with calling energy, a physical non sentient entity ''God''. The god label has a lot of baggage attached to it, and trying to intertwine energy and god together has ultimately resulted in many of your points drowning in this baggage. In general theistic terminology, God usually means a disembodied mind with supernatural abilities, this is why religious folk can speak of ''god being slow to anger'' or ''god knows everything''. The consciousness of the supposed god is the one doing the cognitive tasks. Energy does not have cognition so speaking from a purely technical standpoint, energy cannot be analogous to most of the verses describing the properties of god.
Secondly, you are not quite right about the big bang. Barring the non accurate description of what it is, it is squarely incorrect to call it creation ex nhilo. The big bang theory says nothing about the ''beginning'' or where everything comes from, it simply describes a period of rapid expansion time-stamped by periods called epochs. Therefore, the big bang theory is not as equally absurd (or even absurd at all) as creationism.
Infact, due to the conservation of mass and energy you skimmed on in this video, we can go ahead and safely assume that the concept of things ''beginning to exist'' is simply not the way we should think about cosmology. This becomes especially true when you consider that time ''began'' (for lack of a better word) with the big bang, lending credence to the idea that maybe things have always just been since there cant be a time before time and since we already know that matter and energy can only be transferred and not destroyed. Ofcourse, all of this would be an assumption, however it is a much more plausible assumption than energy being some god derivative.
I tried your experiment, I concluded energy is a creation of God
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What God? God who? God where? Who told you? How do I know you're not lying or wrong?
Can you ask God to tell me DIRECTLY what he wants me to know without literature, humans or any type of human invention?
When you pass away God will explain everything to you.🙏🙏

Take my pick? How wouId falling for the energy garbage going negatively affect your life?
This is new age garbage this women is a wolf in sheep's clothing
Let's be honest here.... God is the sun! Without it we would all die.
So energy had a brain?
No. Brain is limited. It is just a limb. Energy is much more than that.
1. There are multiple distortions about Christian beliefs (6), and I am only 12:30 into it. No Christian believes that Satan is everywhere as in "OmniPresent".
2. You may call God whatever you wish, energy, thunderbolt, alien, UFO, or nothing. The question is which/what/whose god is that.?
3. What energy is she talking about? The last time I checked anyone can create energy at will.
I love this lady and I am praying for her a lot. I was literally like her.
I left God for a period of 9yrs. Was a preacher and gifted with the gift of the spirit. Thousands come to hear from me. I fell due to pride and fornication.
In the end, I hated God and Christians. I became bitter and wanted everything about God to be not true. So I did.
God does not exist because we believe He does. Our beliefs make no difference to His existence.
He is I AM.
Thanks, I enjoyed this. I often use "energy medicine" to help with my chronic anxiety and have been very much helped. So "energy" for me can be a positive, therapeutic, healing (re)source. A corollary to that is light, which also is an energy. As an avid reader of Near Death Experiences, I am captivated with the numerous accounts of NDExperiencers going to a numinous light that is all-loving and affirming. Perhaps the "heavenly" dimension is all about being in the realm of the Light's higher vibration that exudes love and compassion. What if we humans, as conduits of this love energy, raise our currently dull level wattage to high voltage, let's get benevolently crazy levels?
