    4:30 I haven't grasped this nuance until the last few years. Then getting to what you're describing at 6:22 is very recent for me, especially around "emotions can be your friend, and there's a level of trust" like you would a person. That was helpful!

  • @Screwtape316
    @Screwtape316 3 місяці тому

    2:40 I was raised similarly, not so much from a religious perspective, as from a "first draft" (a la Paul vander Klay) where my Dad was raised in a home with mental illness and violence...but not in the typical form of male aggression, but from his Mom (and she was a lovely woman when she was well). So any time emotions started to raise in our household, they were immediately firewalled, and everything became about reason and rationality and "thinking through" our potential conflict. My Dad is an amazing man...but I didn't understand why/how this was a necessity for him until long after I was an adult parent of my own now-adult children. It gave me a ton more grace for him since there were simply issues and topics we can't discuss or resolve, and I have to be okay without forcing a resolution.

    • @MourningTalkShow
      @MourningTalkShow 3 місяці тому

      This is relatable to me. My dad (also a sweet man) was the most volatile member of our family and prone to explosions of moral indignation and punishment. Not to the level of "abuse" but still enough that I ended up creating my own firewalls against my emotions. For me there was also a strange protective feeling towards my parents where I didn't want THEM to be ashamed of their actions. So I was "good" to protect my dad from himself. So many layers! THEN, I realized that one of my frustrations with my oldest son (who is very confrontational) was that he didn't give a shit that he was making me mad. I felt like he should care for ME but not triggering my rage. I know this would be "overthinking" for many people, but I am fascinated by these workings of the mind and heart.

    Thanks for your thoughts, Aaron! For me, initially it was logic and scientific reasoning that brought me to believe Biblical cosmology. That drastically impacted my understanding of heaven and earth. Now I am at the point where I believe EVERYTHING written there (including the parts when Jesus said he is coming soon - he did just as he said he would - read Revelation 20. I strongly suspect (and at this point, believe) that we are living post-Millennial reign. It doesn’t change the fact that Jesus still reigns and still saves!

Not that this is an agreement with this video, but I have not believed in a coming rapture for a very long time. Beyond that, this type of biblical thinking has not really been on my mind or heart.

    Thanks for sharing, personally the belief in a new heavens and a new earth is not hard for me to accept, because I see the flaws and imperfections of this world as evidence of its nature as a prototype. I am greatly frustrated by the church going populaces acceptance of an ethereal dream of heaven as an escapist fantasy. People would have an easier time believing the claims of Christianity if Christians acted like their choices and actions had an impact in the coming of the messiah. Evangelism should look like an invitation for strangers to celebrate the feast of tabernacles with us.

    • @MourningTalkShow
      @MourningTalkShow 3 місяці тому

      Yes, I think I agree with this. I am not willing to say that heaven is here and now only, but the frilly, fluffy fantasy version does nothing for me. :) We need to feel heaven now to want it later. Much of the fantasy version obscures our sense of duty now.

  • @Screwtape316
    @Screwtape316 3 місяці тому

    I think this longing is something C. S. Lewis called it Sehnsucht. In his book "Christian Reflections" in the essay "Christianity & Culture" there's this wonderful footnote: "I am quite ready to describe Sehnsucht as ‘spilled religion’, provided it is not forgotten that the spilled drops may be full of blessing to the unconverted man who licks them up, and therefore begins to search for the cup whence they were spilled. For the drops will be taken by some whose stomachs are not yet sound enough for the full draught." Lewis, C. S. Christian Reflections. Edited by Walter Hooper, EPub Edition, HarperOne, 2014. Footnote 16.

    • @MourningTalkShow
      @MourningTalkShow 3 місяці тому

      Yes, as much as I don't consider myself a hedonist, the desire for consummation of these longings is pretty visceral sometimes. For me, some of my struggle comes from a combination of the modern expectation of immediate gratification (and confirmation) as well as decades of being promised religious mountain-top experiences that never came. Then there's the spiral of feeling that you've been denied these assurances due to a lack of faith. My biggest comfort is that my life now is so much more meaningful, having dropped the pretence that I must "believe it all" despite a lack of assurance. That said, I am still seeking deep intimacy with this God I can't seem to quit.

    I should have said that the desire I was experiencing is my FAITH in heaven, not my belief in heaven. In other words I'm acting in faith that the fruits of my labours will carry a reward. In this sense I can have faith in heaven without an expressible believe in it.

    4th grade was my last year of Christian school... Mother and Father were never ultra religous, but the sunday ritual maintained the motions/dues to gain entry through the purly gates, My father seemed as uncomfortable in his sunday suit, seeted southern Baptist pews, as I felt. Mom loved it though, but solely for her getting to stretch her insanely operatic voice during hymns. Went to Sunday service 4 times a month, then to 3, then to 2, then sporadically. Could not have been happier. Fealt like I ripped off a itchy sweater the moment my face fealt the sun on my face leaving that building. The bill Burr Curling bit is spot on. My eldetly parents still fancy themselves Christians, and they're good people, but they're latching on in name only, and out of fear from. Hell. Sleepovers at legit Christian households was always a trip. They seemed so different and alien how they lived christianity. Jesus Channel on the TV 24 hours, no horror movies, no pop music.

    New subscriber here. I am 61 years old. I have read at least a thousand books in my life. I read 2-5 a week since age 7. But my eyesight has always been quite poor, and with some very thick, heavy glasses my sight was acceptable. Now? I have almost no night vision, wear bifocals and now have glaucoma and cataracts. But I still love books!😢 I am able to listen to audiobooks as a compromise- but not while multitasking. It has to be a quiet room. Walking, cleaning, driving? I have to turn to music as a background companion. But I sooo agree with you- we are losing some spiritual capacity (as a species). One has to use the imagination daily, as a practice. I do creative visualization daily to keep this "muscle" in tone.😊

    'Trickster energy' an excellent way to put it. These are serious issues, yet here they are discussed with a calm genuineness one can't help but respect. The ideals of christianity have been politically weaponized in deceitful quarters. In appropriate response one comes in the name of Satan, to politely point out deceit in progress that was certainly not instigated under his logo.

      @@MourningTalkShow Thanks for replying. Of course you're right to be enthused, & kind to offer this. Especially when a U.S. state political official has been out there explaining that the earth is flat & that her tv is always showing "globes everywhere, so a round earth is a NASA conspiracy like climate change," it's for sure handy to reflect on epistemology & how we know stuff, how to answer conspiracy theorists, & how to retain beginners mind like Socrates/ Suzuki etc, AND a sense of human doxa, like Aristotle honored , as we all need common ground on which to coordinate & cooperate to stop destroying life on earth (for 1 thing). So again, thanks!

    Sorry young man, it seems to me you were a bit too driven by a desire to win the appreciation of the wise man you so much admire, that you took up time you and I could have listened to him. Please do try to form questions succinctly! 🎉

      My goal with the podcast is "dialogos" in which (at its best) each person can form new thoughts and follow threads which are not pre-determined. In this conversation, the turn towards discussing desire was, I think, an example of that. I do understand that not everyone wants that from a conversation, especially since I am unknown and my guest is a modern luminary infinitely smarter than myself. I have, however, had very positive feedback from guests (including from Dr. McGilchrist) once the conversations are over.

    Nice. Glad you're doing this. This book has been huge in my personal evolution of consciousness.
