If you’re new here, welcome to my channel! My name is Paige Ferris and I am inspired to help others embody their best reality! In my videos, I relate my personal experiences and realizations to ways that you too can take back your power and heal yourself! I talk about self discovery, self improvement, spirituality, tarot card readings, astrology, metaphysics, mental health, anxiety, depression, shadow self, shadow work, the ego, the higher self, rants, consciousness, law of attraction and manifestation success stories and other worldly things. Join the tribe if you’re interested!
connecting to a higher source ≠ religion. you don’t need to live in fear of hell or judgement in order to be aligned with your truest self and it’s time we address that.
😌
@@catalysthealer calling yourself God too is not very clever. Did you create some universe? Do share which one and give evidence.
You have discovered peace and truth. Life is not made for us to live in fear. Religions are established on a false premise. We absolutely do not need religion. Keep up the good work.
🖤 thanks for seeing me clearly!
you nailed it!
1:57 living in fear sounds psyhologically demaging to me
It literally is lol I can attest from experience!
It is
I was also raised in the Roman Catholic Church! From the age of 20, I have challenged many clergy!! The most common answer from them was...”Well....it says in Canon Law...”. That to me signals “control “!
You explained exactly how I feel about religion and spirituality. It's hard for me to explain to ppl that I don't believe in a Christian God but the power of the universe
I left christianity over a year ago and have never felt freer. I just had an ingrained open mindedness. Ive been called a heretic when I was trying to accept some of christianity and refuse parts that felt evil to me. Now I have thrown it all out and and spiritually open minded to love all and listen to all. And its amazing how connected everything
Is. Like you I stay away from anything remotely religious in structure. I am really into astrology and tarot, I find for myself it has given me so many answers and enlightened me. Anyway, I'm so glad I found you! Thank you 💗
🖤😌 thanks for sharing your story!! i really relate. happy to have you here dear!! ✨
@Joshua Martin Pryce I left religion which in all my experience which was 28 years and many different churches and people who were fundamentalists I came to know how religion is really a control tactic itself. I am now a mystic realizing god is within us all, and becoming aware that god is love and love is the answer not the bible which was written by dozens of men over many many years and cultures which has to be determined by men which can be twisted and has been.
My experience with tarot is not like yours but I do believe you need to be careful who you have read the cards for you, doing it yourself is probably the safest way. I do it for myself not to predict the future but for spiritual confirmation about certain seasons of life.
Astrology has been a huge eye opener and helped me find god again even though i wanted to throw it all out. I know I am made up of so much more then flesh and blood and must come from more 💖
@@montanahelton1272 Religion can be a control tactic, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. It means that when you’ve got dirty bath water and you toss it out the window, make sure you don’t throw the baby out because there’s something of substance among the filth. And so you look at the hypocrisy and disgusting religion that’s so pervasive throughout society--that’s the bath water and it’s filthy, but there’s a baby in there which has a measure of truth in what’s being said.
You talk about the bible written by men which can be twisted. Can you prove its twisted? If its because the bible is written by man, how do I know what you just said is not twisted as well, since you are just a human being? I'm turning your argument on yourself. It's just an excuse to not believe it. Why? because you don't want it to be true. You want to make up your reality, and your "truth". What you've done is broken the 1st commandment: you shall have no other gods before me and you shall not make yourself a graven image--you've made up a God in your mind to suit yourself, to suit your desires, to make you happy. It's just a figment of your imagination. He's not real, nor will he offend you because you've made a god to suit yourself. Why is it that your fine with your own image of God, but when it's the bible, you don't like that image of God? Do you want confirmation that Christianity's true? Do you think any man can predict the future? Certainly not, maybe little things, but not 100 percent accurate. Well, the Bible contains hundreds of prophecies already fulfilled and fulfilling today. Did you know that everything Jesus predicted for the last generation is happening right now? Have you ever wondered why this world is getting worse? The Bible predicted increase in natural disasters, earthquakes, diseases, wars, rumours of wars, Israel becoming a soverign nation for the first time in 1900 years (no other nation in history has ever done that, btw Jesus said that the generation that sees Israel rebirth will be the final generation), push towards a new world order, digital currency, and tons more.
God wouldn't just want us to live and then sleep afterwards. There would be no point in living then. God has already revealed to us where we go and whatever God says, it's reality. There is nothing more important than to know where you will go after you die. If you died tonight, would you go to Heaven? Are you a good person?
Test yourself here:
Have you ever told a lie? Then you're a liar. Have you ever stolen something regardless of its value? Then you're a thief. Have you ever used God's name in vain? This is called blasphemy, it's when you use God or Jesus's name in replace of a 4-letter cuss word expressing disgust--so serious it's punishable by death in the Old Testament. Jesus said whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her in his heart. Ever done that? The Bible warns that all liars will have their part in the lake of fire--no thief, no blasphemer, no adulterer, no witch will enter God's kingdom. Still think you're a good person? Jesus said there is none good but God (Mark 10:18), and that there is none righteous, not even one (Romans 3:10-12). God's wrath abides on you, and that every time you sin, you store up God's wrath. So you and I are guilty before God, but God did something amazing so that we wouldn't have to go Hell. God sent Jesus of Nazareth, God in human flesh, a perfect and sinless man who died on the cross for the sin of the world. It's as simple as this:
You and I broke God's law--the Ten Commandments, Jesus paid the fine. That's what happened on the cross! That's why he said just before he died, "it is finished", meaning the debt has been paid. If you're in court and someone pays your fine, the judge can let you go even though you are guilty. The judge can say to you, "there's a stack of speeding fines here, this is deadly serious, but someone paid them, you're free to go." And you can do that which is legal, right, and just. He can let us walk out of the courtroom, because someone else paid your fine. Well God can take the death sentence off you and grant you everlasting life because Jesus paid the fine when he gave up his life on the cross and rose again on the third day.
Now all you have to do to find everlasting life is simple, you don't have to go to church or get religious (because religion can't save you): Just repent (confess to God, and turn from sin)[1 John 1:9; Proverbs 28:13; Isaiah 55:7-9; Acts 2:38; Luke 13:3], don't say "I'm a Christian" but you lie, steal, blaspheme, lust, perform witchcraft, your just playing the hypocrite and are deceiving yourself. You must be sincere in order to be genuine. Then, you trust in Jesus like you trust in a parachute--if you were gonna jump out of a plane at 10,000 feet and there was a parachute under your seat, you would just believe in it, you would put it on, you would trust in it. Well the Bible says to put on the Lord Jesus Christ. Do not trust in your own good works because it can't save you. Any good works you offer to God is like an attempt to bribe the judge of the universe. God is not going to judge you according to your 'good deeds', but our sins--and we've all broken them, heading for Hell. So transfer your trust from yourself to the savior, Jesus. The minute you do that, God will grant you everlasting life as a free gift and will give the miracle of conversion and will give you a new heart and new desires so that you will obey him and desire righteousness. Just say "God forgive me of my sins I repent, I trust in Jesus who died for my sins and resurrected on the third day."
Would you sell one of your eyes for 1 million dollars? Would you sell both for 100 million? No, any person wouldn't sell their eyes because it is so precious to them. So precious, no amount of money in the world can make up for it. If your eyes are that precious to you, how much more precious is your life? Don't risk your life by saying "I don't care that God offers me heaven and the forgiveness of sins and to change my life", or "I'll repent and trust in Christ later". So take the time you have now seriously. 150,000 people die everyday--people like me and you, just planning for tomorrow and next year.
I just discovered this video, and till about 2,5 years ago I was a christian. My husband was also a christian in the past but stepped away from it so he felt more free. He explained his vision that all is one, and everything is energy. Also that love and living in the present moment is the most important thing. Than I started researching, and the more I got interested in the spirituality the more I turned my back against christianity. It felt like I had lived in a jail cell for years and I finally broke free. The hard part was (and still is) that my sister and her husband are very christian, and when we talk with some friends they say to me "she's just not so far as we are, she us still searching" . And them I'm like no im not I allready found it haha. That makes it difficult sometimes. It's my family and sometimes I feel a lot of friction because of that. But I'm happy with this discovery and thank you so much for this video!❤❤❤
Girl, I totally relate. I’ve been having arguments with my boyfriend who just became religious with Christianity but I’m not religious at all. I relate to exactly what you said in the video, “fear”. And I wish my boyfriend would understand my point of view 😢
Also it’s hard to find videos to show my boyfriend to explain to him how religion is separating us 🫡
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us about Religions - I feel such a big relief since I left Christianity and religions with all those constricting dogmas and rules... its past and over, for me.
I left the Catholic faith 8 years ago and have been completely happy. Thank you for sharing your story!
I learned very early that the word “fear” really means “reverence for” so I should not fear God but I should have reverence for him.....I am starting another study of the bible (4th time)..... and each time I see something new.... this time I see Abraham & Sarah’s negotiating with God...it’s like a normal relationship!.... everyday communication!.....they don’t fear and God understands their views!
@Joshua Martin Pryce I think knowing god judges and kills people puts actual fear into people.
How can you truly evolve if you follow/practice something that never changes? Religion taught me to praise something higher when things go right and blame something else when things are tough. It never taught me true accountability. It never taught me to get to know myself. I think it’s funny that religion would tell me to believe in God, but rarely tell me to believe in myself lol. You won’t find true answers until you have your own experiences. I’ve found so much truth that way. #wordup
I am also spritual but not religious
Very well said and I agree with almost every word
Beautiful video. 🧡
Huge Query - can I attract before even starting to heal myself? With inner child wounds. I didn't even know I had them. Until I recently got educated about them. Now that I am just aware, doesn't mean they are healed right?
Can I attract a mobile phone or a thing. Without healing yet?
Thank you!! Manifestation and attraction are science based concepts before they are spiritual. As energy on earth, you have a frequency that acts as your point of attraction. Your current reality and everything in it is a manifestation of your frequency. The awareness of inner wounds shows the beginning of the healing process, but you should know that healing is a lifelong thing. The more you heal and embody your authenticity, the more you can attract with intention!
Girrrrrrl I can’t wait to watch this video cause I just been waitin to drop a rant about this 😌😂 and I’m willing to be you & I are on the same page
😂😂😂 as always
My mother was a southern Baptist and my father was Catholic. My mother, being the more religious one raised us in her faith but I was a natural born atheist. When I was about 4 yr old I used to pack snow around the tires of her car on Sunday morning before she would take us to church. Not too much or she might know it was me!!!
lmaoooo thats genius
Thank you for this...I know I'm late to the party with this comment section, but I support you. I was also raised Christian but am now just deeply spiritual and mystical :) I'd love to collaborate sometime if you want
Hi there paige ferris, im from bangladesh i grew up in a heavily islamic state. It is honestly crazy how easily people can be manipulated due to lack of education.Even most of my family members are really religeous the only people who are truly atheists is me and my brother.I just wanted to say i completely agree with everything you said and its straight to the point.if people dont value evidence or value logic then there is no evidence you can give them to change their mind.its the same thing with unicorns,lepricorns, the reason why we dont believe in those is bcz there is no evidence and the same thing is with god.The honest answer is we dont know the mystrey of the universe,and there is no reason to believe in a specefic god. Amazing video btw and sry for my bad english
Real talk. 🎉
Ohhh mercy me, I feel like I could write a whole book about this. Maybe I will someday🤔😂 I was raised in the Bible Belt, pretty sure that’s self explanatory and if it’s not just google Pentecostal beliefs🤪 I’ll try not to rant too long but for starters, if you just think about “religion” basically any religion and how it’s taught, it’s a lot like public schools. Just memorize, repeat and then apply everything completely out of context. No critical thinking and definitely no questioning anything, that’d be blasphemous🙄 plus church politics😖🥴 nah. Not for me. And some traditions just seem like peer pressure from dead people🤷🏻♀️😂 besides that I just don’t like labels and trying to stuff people in neatly defined boxes. And something else that really pisses me off is when people will say stuff like “well you believe ______ so you’re not a real christian.” Or “well you don’t _______ so you’re not a real Muslim” “You _______ so you can’t be catholic” like I said I don’t like labels, but I also don’t like when someone tries to tell someone else what they are or are not. Everyone’s spiritual journey is their own and no one has a right to define it for someone else. Also I think trying to separate people from God/source is a way to control us... I believe my intuitive abilities come from God and therefore I, and everyone else, by connecting with our creator and the universe, don’t need the government or religious leaders or anyone else to tell us what is right and wrong, how we should live our lives, or how we should govern our bodies. My spiritual views are very eclectic for lack of a better word🤷🏻♀️😂 completely unorthodox. If I had to label myself just to give someone some what of an idea of what I believe I guess I’d say I’m a hermetic Christian but even that doesn’t come close to fitting. I think we should just drop all the labels, it only further divides people no matter the situation. I know it’s cliché but can’t we all just get along?! & I realize this sounds very hippie of me lol but the only religion I’m really willing to be devoted to is peace & Love ✌🏼❤️🕊 my in laws are Baptist’s, & when my girls start talking about things like meditating & opening their heart chakras and then follow it up with a bible verse for reference I can tell the in laws really just loooove that 😉🤣
omg i love your points and definitely feeeeel all of it. i loveeee the way you integrate all that youve learned to create your own structure of living because thats genuinely how i believe it should be done. live and let live & all that other good shit ya know 😂
so.... God does not control me, I have a free will!.... I do not feel constrained.
But... he knew you before you were born. Hence your "free will" does not exist.
you know, I'm sort of middle ground. there's things in my life I can't explained that happened, and there's thing I know for a fact! is not going to *punished me* in anyway. if people are religious, that's fine, what I don't like! is when they use this religious, to attack people that don't believe in it. you know... i happens a lot
I’m not evil but I gotta say I do, say and think bad things sometimes. Science tells us the average person has 70,000 thoughts per day.... they happen in nano seconds.... not all are good thoughts!
Please see the term 👐corruption👐
🤣🤣
I felt like spongebob saying “imaginaaaaaatioooon”
I live in a Christian family and also consider myself Christian but have been struggling because I have never actually ever had any experience for myself with god. I pray to him to just like give me a sign if your out there but have nothing. I also dont agree with some Christian views like homosexuality, it's really hard believing in something that you have no idea if it's really real and when you dont agree with it. I also dont want to go to hell and I wanna have a relationship with god but I dont feel like he's listening to me😔😔
Why remain as a Christian if you don't agree with them? Take the time to read the Bible. I promise you will change your mind about being a Christian.
@@jessegreenstone4190 I read the whole entire Bible and it just confused me I like some verses but I don't like the Bible as a whole
I know how you feel Sunflower. I have the same problem.
@@jessegreenstone4190 I have read it but still don't agree with certain things
@@jessegreenstone4190load of crap
Listen to Done With Religion by Diego Brawn love that song
please check out the movie called BREAKTHROUGH.... its a true story!
Most wars are over dumb religions, and horribly dumb beliefs. I'm a agnostic, or if I feel like writting a fantasy book a vague politheist.
so Jesus gave us just two rules: love God with all you got/ the best you can.... and love people just like you love yourself ( you never want to harm yourself right? )
Have you actually.... read the bible?
👏🏼👏🏼😌
😌
I’m thinking about turning Christian, but it’s so hard and so scary , I just want to live my the way I want to but literally anythign fun is a sin idk why, but im going to have a relationship with god and repent to him , I don’t even want to marry but I want to have a sex life but that’s a sin to, I’m scared I don’t wanna go to hell I’m just a freshmen in highschool
I feel you... I'm also thinking about becoming a Christian, but watching all these videos and thinking critically about it makes me doubt
@@bernie715 seriouslyyy
@@kikiii8150 Yes.
If you become a Christian and you start speaking truth, they will try to silence you. People don’t like truth and that’s a fact. If you want to be a Christian, honestly just go for it. It’s about to be a hard path but God’s waiting for you ❤️
@@kyliepereiradepina1557 ok thank you
Actions, not prayers 🔥
realllll talk
Yes!
I heard you out
I don't want to be annoying but Can I attract for myself a mobile phone 🙈 without even starting to heal. As for now it's my need my to learn new things and knowledge 😅
I answered ur other comment with that info (: but will be making another video here soon for more info!
@Joshua Martin Pryce hey please do not reply thanks
@Joshua Martin Pryce i didnt ask for free advice. I do not need it bye

Knowing that religion is false... Can we start our own religion and church and make billions of dollars, tax free? Just like Cartman did.
i’m here for it
Coming from a Christian: You are right, religion is the worst, and in fact, I actually hate religion.
Now you might be think, whoa, wait, how can you be a Christian, (A Jesus follower) and hate religion?
Well the answer to that is this: Religion is what kept me from living in freedom, in joy, in peace. I was taught that you had to do *insert ten commandments here* to be in right standing with God.
But that isn't true.
John 3:16, For God so *loved* the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that who ever believes in him, will not perish, but have everlasting life.
God loved you so much, that he gave his only son, to have a relationship with you, and be in right standing with him.
This is why I hate Religion, because it's not about a Religion, it's about a *Relationship.*
Powerful 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾✝️🔥🔥
Hey sis Jsut want to let you know that when you are with God it’s about having a relationship with God not religion❤️
Try reading Hinduism (Sanatan Dharma more than 10K yrs old) start with Bhagwad Geeta.
Well, You can still be a Christian. Just Not a Religious One.
4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
Command your life you're responsible prayers good but it cannot give you the responsibilities you need to take action for yourself and this is what a occultic teachings but feel comfortable and accepting who you are and your bass in your heart you can have communion with yourself you don't need to go to a church honestly hypocrisy
When u said a human is both " the good and the bad" and at the same time you mentioned you find god in you and all the people you meet ?? Isn't it contradictory .. well if your definition of God or "the universe" (whatever name u gave it the higher self or power ) is "both good and evil " well then you are only right to yourself . .. 😳
It’s occultism. These beliefs infiltrated society. So many people my age talk just like her not realizing what they’re saying
Create your existence
what kind of catholic were you?...there are 23 different kinds in the world.
Educate yourself about religion, there are thousands of different Christian beliefs world wide and they are all correct 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok, so here’s wishing you grace & peace..... that special God’s Grace and God’s Peace.....grace and peace.... think about those words carefully....will check with you again..... selah!.......✌️♥️😃
You are interesting if NOT valid in epistemology
educate yourself on religion btw
sad
You speak a lot of truth and very well at that...however you still have a few cling on irrational beliefs. Make the cut; drop those and use that common sense and critical thinking and youll be set.
So you're God too?! Wow, what universe did you create?
This one. Don't you pay attention?
Your own book states: The kingdom of god exists inside the hearts of men.
You guys don't even understand the club you use to clobber others. It's so sad and pathetic.
So we have freedome of religion so I respect religious people and do not insult them. Because this leads to that they think that atheists intoleratnt and hateful. Thank you for that btw. So a religious person can go and make videos insulting atheits. But that would be wrong right? So why do u do it? There are religious people who even believe just in God without religion. But your judging and insulting billions of people. Even atheists believed in God after NDEs so in general every person is insulted here.
Yes people abuse religion to do bad thinks and you abuse democracy to spread hate and insult people
Religion is a separation of the mind
@Joshua Martin Pryce uhmmm no,.
@Joshua Martin Pryce I can refer you to a good psychiatrist
But being "born again" as Jesus said, will give you a renewing of the mind by the Spirit of God.
You are cute girl 😻
Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction” There is a difference between being open minded and empty minded. People please do further research on what it actually means to fear God.
Everyone needs Jesus,please repent the kingdom of God is at hand!
no thanks :) but you’re free to do that.
★Those who blaspheme the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven and will bear eternal sin. ” (Mark 3:28-29) Amen 🙏…!
You meant, you re not in major religion.
Because i think, religion means a way to submit. Human always tries to submit to something. Since every human worships something, like fame, wealth, social status, celebrity, woman, spirit, even satan, etc. So, in that sense, everyone is religious (not necessary in major religion).
But it doesnt mean these "non major religious" people dont have rule. You can make your own rule.
Im not sure whether when rapist did rape others even children is good or bad based of your view point/"own rule". What ever your view is, that is your "religion" rule.
And, i dont see how seeing god in everything will work. I cant imagine a god being inside a toilet or even septic tank o,O
Also, in every prayer of my five times daily prayers, I ask to be guided to the straight way. I could ve done things by myself. Sometimes fixing a problem could cause another problem If i be guided, with any luck i wont get another problem or atleast not a bigger problem.
Sure thing we can express our self freely. But i believe, every action we take has consequence(s). The ones ruled by the Creator has less problematic consequence(s). Since The Creator is The All-Knowing. The Creator knows what the best for human being. Otherwise, He aint the Creator X-P (im using "He" since, its language problem. But The Creator isnt male or female).
So, by having fear to The Creator means having AWARE of the worst consequence(s) we might get because of our action.
I think everyone has to constrain em self. Like, what would happen when somebody with psychopath thought or rapist doesnt constrain em self.
They could say "im expressing myself" or even, "im having my own spiritual journey".
They feel like murdering as many as people they could, nor raping as many as people they could mean following their own path.
Probably thats what hitler felt back then. Probably thats how hitler followed his own path. Clearly hitler didnt follow the rule of humanity.
Sounds like you’re more worried about making ur point here than really getting what I’m saying because you just put so many assumptions to my thoughts ahahahah so I really don’t have more to say other than what I said in the video and all my other ones if you’re willing to see my view and not say it’s another thing than what it is😂
@@catalysthealer Well, the fact its such a long comment. It means i ve paid every detail of your video, whether you believe it or not.
Peace out :)
@Joshua Martin Pryce That is so true.
As fellow believer (im not christian tho), the good deed is when we follow the will of The Creator. Evil is when we against the will of The Creator which originated from the devil/satan.
Without moral compass from The Creator, our definition of good and bad is so bias.
Like, we cant prove to an atheist big deal mafia that stealing is bad for that person.
No matter what people say, that mafia still can eat on fancy restaurant and watch good movies.
@@catalysthealer good video, they simply just love hearing themselves preach and clearly don't understand your journey and others like us ...how about these classic condescending Christian slanders. ...
But , you never really were a Christian..You never really had a true relationship with Christ , You are actually being deceived by satan , You just haven't read the bible for it's true meaning....You are just being selfish...You are a backsliding Heretic...You are a heathen...Just come back to Jesus and he will forgive you....Keep trusting Jesus or you'll burn in hell ...
🤣🤣🤣 at least those are what I've been hammered with when I left , now is so awesome to laugh about those mentally disturbing judgments
I believe in God.
“Not because what some dude said 100 years ago because it worked for him”
If you think Jesus died roughly 100 years ago , how can you trust what you’ve concluded about what he taught being false ?? Respectfully, you don’t even know that it was roughly 2000 years ago that he lived and died. Just saying
Religion will never give your life. Religion is mankind's idea of "how to get to God" Paige, you must realize that you are breaking the 1st. and 2nd. commandments of God's moral law. You are making yourself a god in your own image.
One that you feel comfortable with, so you can then create your own moral standards to go along with it. In this case you try to change the true image of God instead of your sinful ways. You must come to God in repentance, (turn around have a change of mind and heart toward sin and self) and then totally trust Jesus Christ (just like a little child trusts) and then you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is Lord or lords and King of kings.
