What is belief? Ep 17 - John Larsen
My guest today is John Larsen, a software developer from Norway, who enjoys PHP, and doesn’t seem to like Java very much. He was raised into a fringe Christian Church with 8 siblings, and after seeing that Church dissolve, got into his own path to test his faith, landing where he is today.
At some point he has read 200 books in a year, with more than 40 in a month. We talked about the Church Fathers, the Didache, and had a very intellectually satisfying discussion about what constitutes belief.

    I'm not a religious person however I am a staunch believer in the non-dual nature of things. It's striking how much what you talk about resembles many of the teachings of non-duality at it's core. Buddhism, Zen, Hinduism etc. Many concepts are repeated: one entity in control of everything (except one entity IS everything), as such we are all god / that which makes up the one thing, free-will doesn't really exist how we think it does, we aren't in control of anything, what's going to happen was always going to happen, there is no self or people, only stories we make up about what we perceive. I buy into the Christian story, but not necessarily believing the stories at face value. I think like you're both alluding to, they are often wonderful analogies for a deeper meaning. Much respect to you both, we are all one!

    This podcast gives me so much hope. 🙏 After a troubled past, finding Jesus helped me turn my life around, and I decided to go back to school for software development. However, I’ve noticed that religion is often viewed skeptically in tech communities, which made me worry that I wouldn’t be given a second chance or find others who share my values.

    30:23 Saying that a religion is just culture is getting it backwards. Cultures are religious, not the other way around, religions are above, or outside, any one culture. We can also see this by different cultures, even over time, sharing the same religion, how is this possible if the religion belongs to the culture? Pekka needs to correct his hierarchy of objects, this is very bad OOP.

    @the_savefile To me one of the greatest evidences, if not the greatest, for the resurrection of Christ is the testimony of the apostle Paul. The finest jew of his time among the religious elite, a man who had a lot to lose, who brutally persecuted the church, suddenly believes this Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God, the Savior, is alive & sitting at the right hand of God, proceeds to live, suffer & die for Christ. This should be at the very least "curious" to unbelievers. Btw, I loved the interview, I'm so happy to find that The Prime is a believer.

    In terms of like, having your first spiritual experience, I don't think just being mentally ready is sufficient, you almost have to practice your intuition and get used to using it in your daily life. If you've played Disco Elysium then it would be to level the "Inland Empire"-skill lmfao Multiple scriptures across many religions mention intuition being our gateway to the metaphysical. I started interacting with it on a rational level, that intuition is the background processing of information in our subconscious that later reveals itself in the form of dreams or gut feeling, and I noticed that it was often more accurate than my conscious thoughts when it came to larger life decisions. However eventually I was starting to have idk, "occurrences" I guess, predictions, gut feelings, that in no way could just have been my mind. I was becoming increasingly sure that my intuition was being guided by God and/or the holy spirit. Things escalate from there to where I know feel the presence of God in my life quite regularly, but it very much started from just taking intuition seriously like a skill I needed to develop, kind of like training your third eye I suppose.

  • @remirth_bergström
    @remirth_bergström 4 місяці тому

    I agree that you can open someone to the idea of taking religion and the metaphysical more seriously by having a rational discussion, however I think the idea that there is something beyond this material world almost has to be experienced first hand in order to really take root.

      @@the_savefile I was also still an atheist when I read it, or a christian atheist whatever where I believed in the rationality of belief and meaning but wasn't necessarily spiritual and actually believed in the metaphysical. I think the book that really turned me was "Man and his symbols" by Carl Jung. Initially I just interpreted my dreams, which was powerful enough to make me believe in something beyond, however once I started interpreting the symbols that appeared in my waking life there really was no turning back.
