He's an inteeligent man, and I feel like I've learned to understand humans a lot better as a result of watching his shows. Not only does his content help you understand why humans function the way they do, but it also helps you spot possible manipulation tac tics in certain settings where you may be the target. I just find it baffling that he so easily convinced an athiest that there was a higher power, just by tapping into her emotions
I think that people need to feel like we are not alone and that there is more to our existence. This video was interesting. It demonstrates how charismatic people can influence our behaviors and how some will follow, believing these people to be more enlightened than us. I also believe that we want to be a part of something, regardless of it being religious - a sense of belonging. Trust can be a real avenue to manipulation. That manipulation doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, it may simply be guidance into a perceived better direction. Perception. It's how we choose to see our world and those within it.
It was fun watching this one again. I'm glad Derren never mocks people for their faith, something many non-believers unfortunately do. He's such a delight to watch. :)

Natalie's pure love for her Dad filled me with joy. Derren tapped her depths of love for all her friends and family and she related it to the love of her father. I'm sure one day her own children will have the same depth of love for her.
First thing I saw was Ted Bundy fixing his car in the background when he showed the picture of the white car at 31:17... I even shouted it out when the picture was shown haha my partner just looked at me and said "you're just sick" and left the room 😝
I very recently saw a Derren Brown stage show and was completely blown away,i believe he has special powers and uses them well,i have started to watch other things he has done like the Acropolis. A amazing person.

(A recommendation in a video by TheraminTrees led me here.) I'm a middle-aged US Southerner and former clergy with all the typical things that come with that (minus the racism stuff you might expect, though). I just woke up a couple of years ago. As sudden and world-shattering as it was for me, seeing religion for what it is was the easy part. It's my personal experiences that have been the hardest to rationalize. The most obvious conclusion, in my mind, was that it all had to have been delusion. A difficult admission, one that I've struggled to come to terms with. I knew that suggestibility and priming had to be at the root of it, but I couldn't quite connect the dots to fathom how it works. Seeing this demonstration was exactly what I needed to fill in the blanks. It's also quite a relief to see that everyone is not only susceptible, but in fact, physiologically inclined, toward such experiences.
What's interesting is when he asked us to smell the peppermint. I have anosmia (meaning I've never been able to smell) but when he asked me to smell it I felt it in my eyes. Weird thing to explain but theres this weird thing when I eat or am really close to some smells in that I can't smell it with my nose but rarely i can sense it with my eyes or something
I find that mainly religious folk, but can apply to anybody, that they think that they can just pick their beliefs as they wish to believe, for good reasons or bad, in whatever it might be, and I'm here to tell you that you in fact cannot just simply choose to believe in anything, and if you think that I am wrong, well then I challenge you to choose to believe that you can fly, and climb up on the roof of your house and take that leap of faith off of it, much like people do for their God's, and then come back and we can continue our chat from that point in time. The truth is, one is either convinced by the amount of supporting evidence/reason in support of it's claims, or one isn't, period. I wish more people, especially religious folks, would try and understand that our beliefs actually Do matter, because they inform our actions, and if one holds irrational beliefs, it can and will result in irrational behavior, such as jumping off of the roof of your house, believing that you could fly.
That's just it, we don't chose belief. It's something you cant lie to yourself about. If you "fake it till you make it" you simply tricked your mind into believing your own lie, making no longer a lie. You simply ended up convinced. If you are a god, decide not to believe in him. If you are an atheist, try and believe in him. You can't do it.
Me and my friend love your channel. You bring such cool concepts to the table and your videos are so interesting. Just wanted to say thank you for all the cool ideas and interesting conversations. Keep up the amazing content.
@@davedoublee-indiegamedev8633 I don’t think it *has* to be staged. It easily could be. But imagine if you had a big TV budget, choreographed sound and lighting effects, an audience that sees you as celebrity and a powerful authority figure, e.t.c. How hard would it be to convince someone to play to along with your emotional set-ups without realising they’re doing it? Probably not that difficult. Movie directors plan out similar scenes make us feel powerful emotional experiences too. Real life isn’t like this though.
Very interesting show. I been an atheist since about 15. I am not sure if this method will work on me? I am an elder man and I do cry. But it is about someone else that touched me, such as a blind man accomplished so much in his life. I can not recall I ever cry for myself. Will I cry like Natalie? You must impress me a story and I truly, truly believe it was true. I am very critical of the claims of the God, I have very strong doubt that it will bring tear out of me. I am also curios, did the Natalie really cried in 15-20 seconds after Derren left, or 1-3 minutes?
Psychedelics can induce this experience. They're not something you want to get into blindly, but if you do your research and try them safely in the right environment they can certainly give you that experience. They have with me. It's incredible and the best experience I've ever had. Have a listen to the video on youtube called "sam harris mushroom trip"
I watched once this show in tv and forgot the show name or the person name. Searched for years with relevant keywords, finally found it. Wont miss that again.
It's such a shame that there are so many religious charlatans out there that prey on the weak and vulnerable. Believe what you want to believe, but don't prey and abuse other people's weaknesses. Personally I think religion is total mumbo-jumbo, and if you believe in it you're nuts, but like Derren says, "If it makes you happy..." Just don't hurt others by your psychosis!
@Moosun Dammy I'm not surprised I smelt nothing. I knew that there was water in the bottle, it seemed obvious what he was up to. Then again I'm very familiar with how derren operates
Sadly I'm an audio engineer and knew he was talking s*** about the 'sound waves' and 18 point something Hz from the beginning so it didn't work for me. I feel unlucky to be deprived of the experience tbh :/ What a brilliant man though..
Just because somebody is dropped in somewhere from the roof, without consent or not, it doesn't mean that the place isn't real. That is actually what somebody's talking with his/her emotions would say.
i’m 14 and pretty recently started a psychology course for my gcse’s. my psychology teacher let us watch derrens show ‘the assassin’ one lesson and that completely caused an obsession. after watching i fed into the obsession watching a LOT of his shows and eventually found out my parents love him a lot and went to one of his shows while they were together when i was a baby. it’s crazy that the obsession has kind of passed down to me haha. i’m planning on buying one or two of his books and hopefully in the future i get to go to one of his shows 🤍
my parents were spiritualists and i keep pointing out that if there was anything to the supernatural one of them would've come back to set me straight, in the twenty years they've been gone they haven't. pretend pshychics say "it's because i don't believe" but that's an easy bit of BS. i say to anyone who believes there is an afterlife, come back and haunt me.
Because they’ve moved on ,you think after living in this hell hole you would want to come back and visit? My answer is no ,I’m finally free I ain’t coming back.
If that was your way of presenting a convincing statement, I would not expect you to be able to substantiate what you said because that requires thinking.
I think the view that religious belief is not foolish or stupid but unnecessary is one of the most original opinions of faith I have heard. But the fact we ARE prone to psychological manipulation to believe in things irrational shows how nefarious religion truly is. Not to mention, that atheist's behaved better under this idea of something there but religious people actually seem to act worse.
Derren made a mini poppers, relax, meet me after joke at 25:45!! 😳 Good lad! Undercuff joke for the masses but the majority don't see it!!!! The art of deception is strong in this one
I am not agree sometimes with Derren but agree in critical thinking. It's worth to watch His shows to open Our eyes that how easily We are fooled by others or even Our mind...to question and try to understand how our minds is working...and the social experiments was ...shocking sometimes
I believe in God completely. For me, there is just no doubt. I have felt God, even when I was a wee boy. Well before I even knew what religion was. I see what Mr. Brown is doing and it is admittedly very clever. But. No one taught me my belief. I just remember thinking from a very young age, how small I am. How insignificant I am. But "little old me" could make a difference in this small, wee world we all live in. I am just like all of you. Just a voice in the crowd. I'm nearly 50 years old now,. I am not a World leader. In the whole scale of things I know am nothing. I just hope that I have made a difference in someone's life. I became a nurse. during this small life I lived, I watched people die when there was nothing I could do. I have watched people live,, when it felt hopeless All I can hope for is at least I made a small difference for the better. I am a nice man. I am polite. I'll hold a door open for you and, yes, sometimes I will get annoyed when you don't say thank you. But Hey! It's really no big deal.. I speak my mind knowing I am not perfect. I get angry at stupid things. (like, I'm sure all people do) but the God I believe in is here with me. I know My God will be with me when I whisper or scream my last breath on this tiny, wee planet we all share.
Amen... it's not about any religion, it's about the relationship we have with God our Savior. God is Love 🙏 Thank you for sharing your story and your gift of caring for the sick 💓💓💓

That doesn't make it true. Thankfully "christianity" is the fastest dying major cult in the world given how much harm it does. Best way to ditch the indoctrination is to read the "bible", so immoral.
@@gomahklawm4446 I don’t believe in religion, but you sir, are devoid of any social capacity and it’s strikingly embarrassing. If someone wishes to believe in a God, then they can, you can’t just downplay it as a cult, some people use it as a coping method, or a reason for existence. Don’t shame others for their followings, it’s off-putting and immature.
I am considered an atheist. Whether you believe in god or not, be a good person. I think that’s what’s most important whilst on this planet!!! Anyways when ice cube said if you’re scared go to church. He really meant it. If you’re scared to die or scared of no after life or anything like that. Go to church.

@@EmeraldPixelGamingEPG it helps our society? If we all rape, steal, and murder it really isn't gonna help progress. And there is a thing called empathy.
@@EmeraldPixelGamingEPG let me ask you a question is murder wrong because its wrong or is it wrong because God says its wrong? The difference is if morality is wrong because its wrong then morality doesn't require God On the other hand if morality is wrong because God says its wrong then morality is arbitrary. So which is it?

No it isn't. Better not to believe and be an atheist than to believe God is here to punish you if you don't follow what you are suppose to do to please him. If your relations with God are based on fear and not faith that means something wrong with you, so change your mindset .
@@Ashs-mini-vlogs I feel you sister and trust me I can understand what you are exactly thinking because I myself was there at one point until I met christ. I request to trust in the lord for once. I'll be praying for you.
This is a very similar process, used in combination with LSD in a psychiatric setting, that was used to give heroin addicts a "God experience", which resulted in cessation with only a 20% recidivism rate. That's a quarter of the recidivism rate of a standard rehab program. The addicts were given the God experience, and felt that God didn't want them using heroin anymore, and for most it took, allowing them to go through the physical withdrawal with less desire, if any, for what was hours before the centre of their universe. LSD acts on the brain somewhat like shaking a snowglobe, when the snow settles the previous patterns can be different, so guided therapy can create more productive pathways in the brain, and render old ones ineffective.
Derren proved in 15 minutes what Jordan [Peterson] is at his best trying to explain over his entire career. Thank you Derren for your otherworldly Art.
I felt God when I was thinking about killing myself, one of the lowest points of my life. I was totally alone, no one around. Then I met Him. He's real. Nothing can convince me otherwise.
I found him later in my life after being an atheist. I know that letting god into my life has brought people into my life and others back into my life and a love I never thought possible. They are little miracles that have happened. Not from anything I've done, other than focusing on my relationship with the divine. I hear you. I understand completely 🙏
I went through it as well God is real nothing can ever change my mind . I have spychic gifts I Astral travel as well and have encountered godly and demonic situations.
Or it could be we are all hard wired to seek God and some higher purpose because it is instilled in us at our birth or even that it may be something we are recalling while here in this avatar with amnesia which we remember slightly as we attempt to make ourselves seek it out as avatars in this horrific low frequency prison dimension of the 5 sense material world and to rise above it and prove ourselves worthy of something incomprehensible. God says, almost as if joking as to just how close we are to him in our true form, "for I knew you looooong before I put you in the womb," kind of like saying, "oh you dont remember while you're down there in that form, but you wouldn't believe just how far we go way back, you and i..." There is no proof that God exists, but there is also no proof he doesnt...of course for the latter that would be a ridiculous statement for anyone to expect to hold any weight really...but there are countless phenomena and experiences which suggest there is something connecting us all in some higher dimension or unseen string trying us together or synchronized thought or relationship and that this is temporary and death not at all the end of consciousness but just one phase of it. And I guess it doesnt hurt that I had an honest to god paranormal experience, a kind which for certain was not just some psychological trick of pareidolia or power of suggestion...at least one as old as time which still has yet to be explained by science even in the least bit or one that has any tentative or beginning explanation for it anyone has come up with just yet. I am glad she took it in stride however, she truly could have had some unintended devastation come from his big reveal at the end and it was something I feel was quite chancey he gambled on....the potential was there to make for a truly cruel experience...
Derren... comon man, do a world tour! I see you've been busy working on your new stage show _Showman,_ and I think you're well known enough by now to stop spoiling _just_ the UK 😀
@@zaaap0 You realize English is spoken in many countries? It's the national language of Australia, New Zealand, India, Canada, Solomon Islands, Kenya, South Africa, Singapore (to name a few) and it's even spoken in a modified form in America.
There's some sloppiness in the presentation here. Does Derren intend to give Natalie a religious _experience_ or have her undergo a religious _conversion_ ? These are two very different things.
I think you might misunderstood what his intentions is. Derren brown is trying to give Natalie an EXPERIENCE of RELIGIOUS CONVERSION. As we all know people that trying to convert people into some religion or belief tend to drive the conversation and do things like what Derren did in his act. As someone who raised as a Christian myself i can say that the method people around me using is similar to the some degree.
The pareidolia is really scary. Not because it shows people found patterns that don't exist, but because of the fact that this person seemed totally OK with it when you said she would be stalked by a bunch of actors and cameramen
Perhaps the fact that we are wired for a spiritual divine presence which people tend to pecieve as God and/or Goddeses is merely us anthropomorphizing a divine spark which actually exists but emerged as a product of human consciousness? A great mystery contemplated throughout history by many with a superior intellect!
@@celestesoniafox84 I am asking the same questions with a healthy amount of skepticism balanced with an open mind looking at empirical as well as theoretical evidence that offers answers to these questions/great mysteries regarding human consciousness, human divinity/ a divine spark? as well as the origins Of our planet/solar system?
Utterly ridiculous. The biggest trick is that so many people believe these scenarios involve authentic participants as opposed to planted and coached actors. How is it that they all talk out loud when totally alone? Were they told to? Why aren’t we shown that instruction? There is no verifiable evidence that these people are not part of the trick. As such you have been tricked into evidence for unbelief. LOL. One of the biggest tools of an illusionist on TV is this line. “No camera tricks or editing was used to do this.” Which is a lie. But if you integrate that as true the illusion is amazing.
You know you have to think this is possible right? Other religions exist, and they all claim the same stuff, unless you think they're all real, this must be something that can be done, or the god you believe in must be a sort of trickster god.
This was a brilliant as it was when I watched it in 2012. I wonder if there are people in the world that would ask him to give them this experience so that they can actually attribute it to a religious figure
"You will see how he attempt to change the mind of an atheist " To do that, all he needs to do is present evidence for a god. To do that, he needs to first define god clearly.
Not in a society that has bombarded you with imagery of the faith all your life, surrounded by churches and crosses and stained glass and all the features and rituals of their traditions. It’s already in your sub- and unconscious mind. All he needs to do is trigger those with the combination of overwhelming emotions and it will create an experience within that simulates what believers experience in church. Makes sense to me at least.
@@kencampbell9873 No that is nonsense then, I grew up in the church and seen all sorts of experience's. But never been moved by any I was in the church from age 4, no affect this is just staged.
Also, I would've thought that they'd have already had Intervention in the UK! It's MASSIVELY popular and has film and crew both in Canada and here in the US. It's won countless Grammys and has saved thousands of lives of people with addictions. I wonder if it's known now in the UK since UA-cam and all the streaming platforms have become so mainstream since the original filming of this show.
You’re confusing the USA tv show Intervention, with what Derren was discussing with the lady @33:10 - the lady he met at the cafe was not an alcoholic or addict. Derren was discussing coincidences in life, and asked the participant to document her accounts of random situations, and her perspectives on those random situations.
Take your Bible back to the library and check it back into the fiction section - where it belongs. Take out some books on Science. Medicine. History. Engineering. Computers. Philosophy. Vegetable gardening. And spend your days acquiring knowledge that will be helpful to you in the real world. Enslaving yourself with religious dogma is debilitating.

@Captain Psychic. Very interesting. Were you a believer in God before? Are you sure you rather have become instead an agnostic?
Congratulations. Never pass a chance to help others ditch their cultist indoctrination.
You never believed to start with... but that's O.K. lol
@@keithnorris8982 we got a mind reader here 😂
That is exactly what the devils mission is
They should make you watch this in religious studies
One of my favourite episodes
I can't get enough of watching Brown's videos ♥♥ Love him.
(A recommendation in a video by TheraminTrees led me here.)
I'm a middle-aged US Southerner and former clergy with all the typical things that come with that (minus the racism stuff you might expect, though). I just woke up a couple of years ago. As sudden and world-shattering as it was for me, seeing religion for what it is was the easy part. It's my personal experiences that have been the hardest to rationalize. The most obvious conclusion, in my mind, was that it all had to have been delusion. A difficult admission, one that I've struggled to come to terms with. I knew that suggestibility and priming had to be at the root of it, but I couldn't quite connect the dots to fathom how it works. Seeing this demonstration was exactly what I needed to fill in the blanks. It's also quite a relief to see that everyone is not only susceptible, but in fact, physiologically inclined, toward such experiences.
@Monya Gal The value, I think, is in the distraction. We need mindless entertainment for distraction, for stress relief.
What's interesting is when he asked us to smell the peppermint. I have anosmia (meaning I've never been able to smell) but when he asked me to smell it I felt it in my eyes. Weird thing to explain but theres this weird thing when I eat or am really close to some smells in that I can't smell it with my nose but rarely i can sense it with my eyes or something
well the eyes and the nose cavity are connected
Natalie reaction was priceless .
I love to have one like this !
Derren: you're not in the show

Derren: you are in the show

I find that mainly religious folk, but can apply to anybody, that they think that they can just pick their beliefs as they wish to believe, for good reasons or bad, in whatever it might be, and I'm here to tell you that you in fact cannot just simply choose to believe in anything, and if you think that I am wrong, well then I challenge you to choose to believe that you can fly, and climb up on the roof of your house and take that leap of faith off of it, much like people do for their God's, and then come back and we can continue our chat from that point in time. The truth is, one is either convinced by the amount of supporting evidence/reason in support of it's claims, or one isn't, period.
I wish more people, especially religious folks, would try and understand that our beliefs actually Do matter, because they inform our actions, and if one holds irrational beliefs, it can and will result in irrational behavior, such as jumping off of the roof of your house, believing that you could fly.
If our minds can so easily be manipulated, how could anyone have the ability to freely choose the God or gods they believe in or not believe in?
That's just it, we don't chose belief. It's something you cant lie to yourself about. If you "fake it till you make it" you simply tricked your mind into believing your own lie, making no longer a lie. You simply ended up convinced. If you are a god, decide not to believe in him. If you are an atheist, try and believe in him. You can't do it.
Belief (in anything) is the only way to realization and therefore self-actualization. Forget religion and other dogmatic practices.

Me and my friend love your channel. You bring such cool concepts to the table and your videos are so interesting. Just wanted to say thank you for all the cool ideas and interesting conversations. Keep up the amazing content.
Thank you! We always try our best for our lovely fans!
I liked the part where it was shown how he manipulated her. Fascinating to see the techniques he uses!
Hey, sorry to be the guy who ruins parties but the Natalie thing is most probably staged.
Cool show though, I learned a few things!
@@davedoublee-indiegamedev8633 I don’t think it *has* to be staged. It easily could be. But imagine if you had a big TV budget, choreographed sound and lighting effects, an audience that sees you as celebrity and a powerful authority figure, e.t.c.
How hard would it be to convince someone to play to along with your emotional set-ups without realising they’re doing it? Probably not that difficult. Movie directors plan out similar scenes make us feel powerful emotional experiences too. Real life isn’t like this though.
It was spelled out while he was doing those things not just at the end
Derren is very talented and genuine I like watching him
Who's Darren?
That end really caught me by surprise! Human mind is so powerful but we seem to not really know how to operate it..
Regards from Poland ;) I was watching on Discovery in my country and thank you :)
Very interesting show. I been an atheist since about 15. I am not sure if this method will work on me? I am an elder man and I do cry. But it is about someone else that touched me, such as a blind man accomplished so much in his life. I can not recall I ever cry for myself. Will I cry like Natalie? You must impress me a story and I truly, truly believe it was true. I am very critical of the claims of the God, I have very strong doubt that it will bring tear out of me. I am also curios, did the Natalie really cried in 15-20 seconds after Derren left, or 1-3 minutes?
Psychedelics can induce this experience. They're not something you want to get into blindly, but if you do your research and try them safely in the right environment they can certainly give you that experience. They have with me. It's incredible and the best experience I've ever had. Have a listen to the video on youtube called "sam harris mushroom trip"
I watched once this show in tv and forgot the show name or the person name. Searched for years with relevant keywords, finally found it. Wont miss that again.
The satanic ritual part would be super controversial if done in the USA
Derren is the best subliminal hypnotist ever
Lol love the deprogramming at the end 😆
It's such a shame that there are so many religious charlatans out there that prey on the weak and vulnerable. Believe what you want to believe, but don't prey and abuse other people's weaknesses. Personally I think religion is total mumbo-jumbo, and if you believe in it you're nuts, but like Derren says, "If it makes you happy..." Just don't hurt others by your psychosis!
Did anyone else smell the peppermint?
Holy shit that shocked me
Loll
@Moosun Dammy I'm not surprised I smelt nothing. I knew that there was water in the bottle, it seemed obvious what he was up to. Then again I'm very familiar with how derren operates
i will ask why peppermint silk you know and yes
Sadly I'm an audio engineer and knew he was talking s*** about the 'sound waves' and 18 point something Hz from the beginning so it didn't work for me. I feel unlucky to be deprived of the experience tbh :/ What a brilliant man though..
No, because I'm not an idiot
Just because somebody is dropped in somewhere from the roof, without consent or not, it doesn't mean that the place isn't real. That is actually what somebody's talking with his/her emotions would say.
i’m 14 and pretty recently started a psychology course for my gcse’s. my psychology teacher let us watch derrens show ‘the assassin’ one lesson and that completely caused an obsession. after watching i fed into the obsession watching a LOT of his shows and eventually found out my parents love him a lot and went to one of his shows while they were together when i was a baby. it’s crazy that the obsession has kind of passed down to me haha. i’m planning on buying one or two of his books and hopefully in the future i get to go to one of his shows 🤍
Why aren't people haunted by their great great grand parents, or any other relations who we have never known?
my parents were spiritualists and i keep pointing out that if there was anything to the supernatural one of them would've come back to set me straight, in the twenty years they've been gone they haven't. pretend pshychics say "it's because i don't believe" but that's an easy bit of BS. i say to anyone who believes there is an afterlife, come back and haunt me.
Because they’ve moved on ,you think after living in this hell hole you would want to come back and visit? My answer is no ,I’m finally free I ain’t coming back.
I'm haunted by dinosaur ghosts
Great again, Derren
DB is the shit 💯 Since I found out about him in 2012 through UA-cam
If that was your way of presenting a convincing statement, I would not expect you to be able to substantiate what you said because that requires thinking.
I think the view that religious belief is not foolish or stupid but unnecessary is one of the most original opinions of faith I have heard. But the fact we ARE prone to psychological manipulation to believe in things irrational shows how nefarious religion truly is. Not to mention, that atheist's behaved better under this idea of something there but religious people actually seem to act worse.
Doesn't being in the dark trigger hallucinations ?
God moves in suspicuous ways 🙏
Derren made a mini poppers, relax, meet me after joke at 25:45!! 😳 Good lad! Undercuff joke for the masses but the majority don't see it!!!! The art of deception is strong in this one
The gays get it for sure. haha.
I am not agree sometimes with Derren but agree in critical thinking. It's worth to watch His shows to open Our eyes that how easily We are fooled by others or even Our mind...to question and try to understand how our minds is working...and the social experiments was ...shocking sometimes
I believe in God completely. For me, there is just no doubt.
I have felt God, even when I was a wee boy. Well before I even knew what religion was.
I see what Mr. Brown is doing and it is admittedly very clever.
But.
No one taught me my belief. I just remember thinking from a very young age, how small I am. How insignificant I am. But "little old me" could make a difference in this small, wee world we all live in. I am just like all of you. Just a voice in the crowd.
I'm nearly 50 years old now,. I am not a World leader. In the whole scale of things I know am nothing. I just hope that I have made a difference in someone's life.
I became a nurse. during this small life I lived, I watched people die when there was nothing I could do. I have watched people live,, when it felt hopeless
All I can hope for is at least I made a small difference for the better.
I am a nice man. I am polite. I'll hold a door open for you and, yes, sometimes I will get annoyed when you don't say thank you. But Hey! It's really no big deal.. I speak my mind knowing I am not perfect. I get angry at stupid things.
(like, I'm sure all people do) but the God I believe in is here with me. I know My God will be with me when I whisper or scream my last breath on this tiny, wee planet we all share.
Amen... it's not about any religion, it's about the relationship we have with God our Savior. God is Love 🙏 Thank you for sharing your story and your gift of caring for the sick 💓💓💓
Thank you sir, for being a genuine soul. I wish you all the best. Your story brightened up my night

Hello Carlos. It is very nice to meet you.
That doesn't make it true. Thankfully "christianity" is the fastest dying major cult in the world given how much harm it does. Best way to ditch the indoctrination is to read the "bible", so immoral.
@@gomahklawm4446 I don’t believe in religion, but you sir, are devoid of any social capacity and it’s strikingly embarrassing. If someone wishes to believe in a God, then they can, you can’t just downplay it as a cult, some people use it as a coping method, or a reason for existence. Don’t shame others for their followings, it’s off-putting and immature.
I am considered an atheist. Whether you believe in god or not, be a good person. I think that’s what’s most important whilst on this planet!!!
Anyways when ice cube said if you’re scared go to church. He really meant it. If you’re scared to die or scared of no after life or anything like that. Go to church. So they can fill your head with BS so you aren’t scared anymore.
If there's no God what's the point of being a good person?
@@EmeraldPixelGamingEPG it helps our society? If we all rape, steal, and murder it really isn't gonna help progress. And there is a thing called empathy.
@@EmeraldPixelGamingEPG let me ask you a question is murder wrong because its wrong or is it wrong because God says its wrong?
The difference is if morality is wrong because its wrong then morality doesn't require God
On the other hand if morality is wrong because God says its wrong then morality is arbitrary.
So which is it?
@@EmeraldPixelGamingEPG If one needs to be threatened to behave, they're not a good person, they're simply a bad person who's being threatened to behave. Please don't deconvert if this is really how you feel :P

Yea the ultimate middle finger 🖕(In the nicest possible way of course).
When Darren was tapping, I was hearing Poe's "The Raven" in my head 😂
"Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom"
No it isn't. Better not to believe and be an atheist than to believe God is here to punish you if you don't follow what you are suppose to do to please him. If your relations with God are based on fear and not faith that means something wrong with you, so change your mindset .
@@aquarius4953 here fear means fear of being in sin, fear to murder, rape etc
Turn your eyes to Jesus mate, he is the answer.
At 13 I decided I'd rather live in freedom than live my life in fear. I now follow a much more forgiving an understanding God.
It's the beginning of stupidity

This is a very similar process, used in combination with LSD in a psychiatric setting, that was used to give heroin addicts a "God experience", which resulted in cessation with only a 20% recidivism rate. That's a quarter of the recidivism rate of a standard rehab program.
The addicts were given the God experience, and felt that God didn't want them using heroin anymore, and for most it took, allowing them to go through the physical withdrawal with less desire, if any, for what was hours before the centre of their universe.
LSD acts on the brain somewhat like shaking a snowglobe, when the snow settles the previous patterns can be different, so guided therapy can create more productive pathways in the brain, and render old ones ineffective.
Man created god in his own image
There are going to be loads of gawdawful sights worth missing. Hell is probably the wisest choice.

I felt God when I was thinking about killing myself, one of the lowest points of my life. I was totally alone, no one around. Then I met Him. He's real. Nothing can convince me otherwise.
Me too
I found him later in my life after being an atheist.
I know that letting god into my life has brought people into my life and others back into my life and a love I never thought possible.
They are little miracles that have happened. Not from anything I've done, other than focusing on my relationship with the divine.
I hear you.
I understand completely 🙏
I went through it as well God is real nothing can ever change my mind . I have spychic gifts I Astral travel as well and have encountered godly and demonic situations.

Atheism is a religion
Or it could be we are all hard wired to seek God and some higher purpose because it is instilled in us at our birth or even that it may be something we are recalling while here in this avatar with amnesia which we remember slightly as we attempt to make ourselves seek it out as avatars in this horrific low frequency prison dimension of the 5 sense material world and to rise above it and prove ourselves worthy of something incomprehensible. God says, almost as if joking as to just how close we are to him in our true form, "for I knew you looooong before I put you in the womb," kind of like saying, "oh you dont remember while you're down there in that form, but you wouldn't believe just how far we go way back, you and i..." There is no proof that God exists, but there is also no proof he doesnt...of course for the latter that would be a ridiculous statement for anyone to expect to hold any weight really...but there are countless phenomena and experiences which suggest there is something connecting us all in some higher dimension or unseen string trying us together or synchronized thought or relationship and that this is temporary and death not at all the end of consciousness but just one phase of it. And I guess it doesnt hurt that I had an honest to god paranormal experience, a kind which for certain was not just some psychological trick of pareidolia or power of suggestion...at least one as old as time which still has yet to be explained by science even in the least bit or one that has any tentative or beginning explanation for it anyone has come up with just yet. I am glad she took it in stride however, she truly could have had some unintended devastation come from his big reveal at the end and it was something I feel was quite chancey he gambled on....the potential was there to make for a truly cruel experience...
Somehow as a 70 year atheist l feel lucky to be out of any cults.
Derren... comon man, do a world tour! I see you've been busy working on your new stage show _Showman,_ and I think you're well known enough by now to stop spoiling _just_ the UK 😀

@@shoutatthesky oi mate
@@zaaap0 what you on about son?
Darren's a national treasure and is an intelligent atheist just like Stephen Fry...
There's some sloppiness in the presentation here. Does Derren intend to give Natalie a religious _experience_ or have her undergo a religious _conversion_ ? These are two very different things.
I think you might misunderstood what his intentions is. Derren brown is trying to give Natalie an EXPERIENCE of RELIGIOUS CONVERSION. As we all know people that trying to convert people into some religion or belief tend to drive the conversation and do things like what Derren did in his act. As someone who raised as a Christian myself i can say that the method people around me using is similar to the some degree.
The pareidolia is really scary. Not because it shows people found patterns that don't exist, but because of the fact that this person seemed totally OK with it when you said she would be stalked by a bunch of actors and cameramen
Clever way to get you're soul back derren very clever

Perhaps the fact that we are wired for a spiritual divine presence which people tend to pecieve as God and/or Goddeses is merely us anthropomorphizing a divine spark which actually exists but emerged as a product of human consciousness? A great mystery contemplated throughout history by many with a superior intellect!
@@celestesoniafox84 I am asking the same questions with a healthy amount of skepticism balanced with an open mind looking at empirical as well as theoretical evidence that offers answers to these questions/great mysteries regarding human consciousness, human divinity/ a divine spark? as well as the origins Of our planet/solar system?
Utterly ridiculous. The biggest trick is that so many people believe these scenarios involve authentic participants as opposed to planted and coached actors. How is it that they all talk out loud when totally alone? Were they told to? Why aren’t we shown that instruction? There is no verifiable evidence that these people are not part of the trick. As such you have been tricked into evidence for unbelief. LOL.
One of the biggest tools of an illusionist on TV is this line. “No camera tricks or editing was used to do this.” Which is a lie. But if you integrate that as true the illusion is amazing.
You know you have to think this is possible right? Other religions exist, and they all claim the same stuff, unless you think they're all real, this must be something that can be done, or the god you believe in must be a sort of trickster god.
This plays to the psychological concept of magical thinking

Scroll to end then hit replay and the ads will be gone, magic 😁
This was a brilliant as it was when I watched it in 2012. I wonder if there are people in the world that would ask him to give them this experience so that they can actually attribute it to a religious figure
"You will see how he attempt to change the mind of an atheist "
To do that, all he needs to do is present evidence for a god. To do that, he needs to first define god clearly.
Not in a society that has bombarded you with imagery of the faith all your life, surrounded by churches and crosses and stained glass and all the features and rituals of their traditions. It’s already in your sub- and unconscious mind. All he needs to do is trigger those with the combination of overwhelming emotions and it will create an experience within that simulates what believers experience in church. Makes sense to me at least.

It's won countless Grammys and has saved thousands of lives of people with addictions. I wonder if it's known now in the UK since UA-cam and all the streaming platforms have become so mainstream since the original filming of this show.
You’re confusing the USA tv show Intervention, with what Derren was discussing with the lady @33:10 - the lady he met at the cafe was not an alcoholic or addict. Derren was discussing coincidences in life, and asked the participant to document her accounts of random situations, and her perspectives on those random situations.
Take your Bible back to the library and check it back into the fiction section - where it belongs.
