As my life draws to a close, I realize that the liberal, open-minded, warm,-hearted mainline protestant Christianity in which I was nurtured was an immense gift not only to me but to American society in general, at least in the northern half of the country. I have yet to come across a single deconstruction video from one raised in such a mellow religious environment, which enabled and encouraged young people to build their own form of Christian faith from the ground up, piece by piece. Is this endeavor to create a metamodern Christianity, I wonder, another form of "hauntism" that in reality is creating nothing essentially new but rather deeply desires--almost desperately desires--to escape from the neoliberal postmodern nightmare into the much more beautiful, human-scaled past, similar to all these cover versions of the classic songs of the 60s and 70s. To which I'm sure many younger folk would reply, "OK Boomer."
I’m gen z, 27 years old, and in the past 2 years of my life, my postmodernist deconstructionism has itself been totally deconstructed. I’ve been yearning for a more authentic way of living, and due to my job which has me interacting with an older generation with strong family values, religious etc and also with the Amish, I totally see exactly what you’re saying and I 100% agree with you. I’ve also returned to faith in God and have realized there is a whole landscape of human value, purpose, and experience that has been deemed unacceptable by so many in my generation, but it also contains ancient wisdom and genuine guidance that we so desperately need.
Seek, my young friend, and ye shall find. But we Boomers could have done so much more to leave you young people with a better world in which to do your seeking.
@@newtonfinn164 it is what it is, personally I have a lot of sympathy for your generation because as far as I understand, boomers were really the first inheritors of unbridled capitalism and the culture that promoted it. Alongside that, the access to knowledge and wisdom that could have helped guide was replaced by materialistic culture, garbage TV programs (the only window to the outside world for rural people), alcohol culture etc. my generation at least has access to great thinkers and insight through the internet, but of course that internet access is a sharp double edged sword.
"G" was a Shepard, who walked in the lions den and taught them the Oral Tradition How do i find the Oral Tradition and its history and teachings, ? Well you have to remember them your self That's the thing when dealing with objective truth, its the same eternally

Ok I think I get what you two are talking about..after some earlier hesitation and😂 resistance 😇✨️
delightful, thanks
Been so baffled that gurdjieff hadn't been grabbed onto much in this generation. Glad i was wrong, going to look much more into mr Pascal.
When is the book going to be available in electronic format?
Layman Pascal is definitely fun
