    Spirituality is full of paradoxes. The more you detach from your conditioning and the material world, the more connected you feel to everything. The more you try to define God, the more you misunderstand God. The more you look inward, the more you see outward. The more you let go, the more comes to you. The less you desire, the more you gain. The more you suffer, the more you grow. Suffering is unbearable, but it's all perfect. In order to live, one has to die.
    “I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.” - Rumi
    Huge thank you to Brian Muraresku for putting this thought-provoking presentation together. He is an extraordinary explorer, researcher, teacher and friend. His book, "The Immortality Key" is phenomenal.

      Well--- mythology and intellectual reasoning do not mix well. Paradox is a result of incomplete spiritual growth. What I mean is that paradox is not self-contradictory in the deeper perspective.
      The Unified Field of Consciousness combines both the "seen and the unseen". By definition.
      _Synchonistic mathematics_ is a tool that helps to recognize wholeness.
      "Spiritual growth is cognitive growth." ( m.scott peck, The Road Less Traveled.)
      Simply put: Sadly, most people are spiritually blind yet believe they know more than they actually do. This is why faith is important.

      I dont see Spirituality as being full of paradoxes. I see the apparent paradoxes as a lack of understanding of the human condition, which is that we are a dichotomy, an immortal Conscious 'Being' and a temporary flesh vehicle, both having the same experiences from different points of view. Both of these attributes of the human dichotomy has its own conscious thought process as a means to attain a goal. The body has the Ego whose sole purpose is to keep the body alive and well and doesnt have the capacity to do much more than that. And because the world is such a dangerous place the Ego is usually front and center because if the body dies this experience for both sides of the dichotomy ends as well. The Conscious part of us relies on Intuition which is more holistic and fearless in its scope.
      The whole message and answer to these paradoxes is to quiet the Ego, make it take a back seat on the journey of this experience and let Consciousness that relies on Intuition handle the reigns. Doing this frees up a lot of wasted energy. The difference is being either the driver on an adventure where all your attention is on the road ahead, or being the passenger having full confidence in the driver and being able to see all the delights as they pass by. "You need to die in order to live" translation = you need to let go of your fear based Ego and trust your Intuition...you will get so much more out of it.
      "You need to be empty in order to be full" Again, let go of the desires of the Ego, its baggage and its very fearful limited view of the world and see everything for its wonder, its beauty and its place on the world stage as life plays out. The Ego has emotional attachments, the Conscious Being does not.
      All of these paradoxes are saying the same thing...let go of the fear and future projected needs and be an observer on this journey we call life. Your experiences will be so much better and you will receive so much more out of them.

      I too was a carpenter before I retired. I am not of this world. I am a visitor, that chose to experience this life as an observer through the adventures of a flesh and blood vehicle. I lived it intensely and fully immersed no matter the situation I found myself in... The triumphs and the tragedies were monumental and soul crushing.
      I am not tech savvy enough nor do I desire to do videos. My Ego is diminished enough that I do not crave external validation.
      As far as 'favorites' and 'subs'? My interests are many and varied but mostly centered around the concept of understanding our reality both from an Egocentric standpoint and as an observer. So as a 'new' subject or idea is presented before me I do lots of internet research on it and if it intrigues me I will buy and consume as many books as is necessary to be very well versed on the subject. So my favorites are fleeting...the subject that consumed my intellect today is relegated to a section of my bookcase tomorrow. And I do not have the time nor the desire to keep updating fav's and subs.
      In truth, I am so over this experience...I am just waiting for my train to arrive, have my ticket punched and go back home.

    I wrote a book called G.O.D. about this topic. I was exploring the nature of mental illness as it relates to religion, and called the root illness a "logical paradox." This logical paradox is the conscious mind trying to reconcile being separate from God instead of an extension of God experiencing reality subjectively through our ego. We all know this when we are born, but we spend our whole lives trying to remember this simple fact. Cheers.

    Well for a reason I can’t explain, beyond my belief in salvation I also seem to crave to learn the infallible truth as to ‘why’ this reality exists the way it does. I want to intrinsically understand why the experience of joy and suffering exist here as a duality. I believe there would be no violence, spite or resentment amongst us if we all ‘knew’ by default what it means, why it is, and how it is that we are abrasively consciously ‘here’… So I sometimes pray for the physical or meta-physical manifestation of God to return to save us from ourselves by helping us collectively achieve this deep enlightenment.

    • @james.sirois
      @james.sirois 2 роки тому +2

      I have expressed this God paradox in a philosophy that emerged from me I call 'paradoxism'. It reconciles physics and metaphysics.
      The experience of God when we either think or feel it is essentially a paradox within a paradox. From the paradox of infinity emerges the paradox of existence coexisting with void.
      Paradoxes themselves are a matter of human consciousness experiencing something- this experience is not necessarily an indication of falsehood or failure of logic; It delineates the boundary between perceptual comprehension and conceptual comprehension. We can not perceive 1 million objects, much less infinity, but we can hold a representative concept in our minds such as the circle (a geometric shape with an infinite amount of sides for example). Even in physics we see how logic gives way to paradoxical logic (what are veridical paradoxes). An example would be black holes which are infinite in density. In mathematics the example is zero.
      In regards to God, it is the ultimate consciousness which effects a simultaneous creation and destruction of reality. It is the process of materializing existence from void- order from chaos- limitation from limitlessness- power from potential etc.
      The ancient Hindus called it Brahman and Atman, the Ancient Gnostics called it Pleroma and Abraxas. It certainly is not new, but humanity is becoming increasingly aware of it- itself.

      Many of you are not interested in God. You're interested in a satisfactory explanation that numbs your itch for truth and fits into your hedonism. You will pay dearly for that so correct the intention before proceeding any further. Many of you should start from scratch because undoing the theological mess you've weaved will take much longer than just building anew with a sincere dedication for truth and not convenience. True self seeks liberation through truth but the ego seeks convenience through theories (having no issue at all to take opinion as fact). Be real.

    "You cannot comprehend God with your intellect... To reunite with God, you have to become more like what God really created in you. God has placed Knowledge within you to guide you and to redeem you. Beliefs are secondary and often stand in the way of this redemption. You must have the courage and faith in the Divine to think of God anew, to realize your responsibilities here and to recognize that you were sent into the world to be a contributor, not a judge or a critic... If you are to understand humanity's destiny and future within a Greater Community of life in the universe, you must have a new experience and understanding of the Divine." (The One God, MVS)

    Amazing and touching. The only thing missing from the discussion is how to deal with the ego, which in turn has enough material for several videos. The ego is accumulated pain, and to become empty and open to the moment, we need to process emotions consciously. That is the end of greed and apathy: and the self love that inner work brings is the love for the world. You cant love the world and other people if you dont love yourself.
    True self love brings on the true divine bliss!
    And it awakens the need to serve others from purity.

It showed me visually and mentally how everything is connected with eachother. I learned so much after that.
    For example how mycelium connect everything and let the trees communicate
    I learned more about spirituality (thanks to this channel as well) but there is so much more to explore!
    Microdosing helped me alot in tough times.

      @@TheEncouragementKid The simplest way I could explain it is that the nihilists and the optimists are both right. Life is simultaneously utterly meaningless and absolutely meaningful. The proof that God exists is the fact that God doesn't exist. Faith quite literally requires doubt. If God were obvious, everyone would believe, and therefore belief wouldn't require any strength of will. It's so much easier to doubt. But belief is hard. So start by believing your beliefs, not your doubts.

      @@walterschmidt3544 There was a very strange feature in this case, strange because of its extremely rare occurrence. This man had once been brought to the scaffold in company with several others, and had had the sentence of death by shooting passed upon him for some political crime. Twenty minutes later he had been reprieved and some other punishment substituted; but the interval between the two sentences, twenty minutes, or at least a quarter of an hour, had been passed in the certainty that within a few minutes he must die. I was very anxious to hear him speak of his impressions during that dreadful time, and I several times inquired of him as to what he thought and felt. He remembered everything with the most accurate and extraordinary distinctness, and declared that he would never forget a single iota of the experience. ‘About twenty paces from the scaffold, where he had stood to hear the sentence, were three posts, fixed in the ground, to which to fasten the criminals (of whom there were several). The first three criminals were taken to the posts, dressed in long white tunics, with white caps drawn over their faces, so that they could not see the rifles pointed at them. Then a group of soldiers took their stand opposite to each post. My friend was the eighth on the list, and therefore he would have been among the third lot to go up. A priest went about among them with a cross: and there was about five minutes of time left for him to live. ‘He said that those five minutes seemed to him to be a most interminable period, an enormous wealth of time; he seemed to be living, in these minutes, so many lives that there was no need as yet to think of that last moment, so that he made several arrangements, dividing up the time into portions-one for saying farewell to his companions, two minutes for that; then a couple more for thinking over his own life and career and all about himself; and another minute for a last look around. He remembered having divided his time like this quite well. While saying good- bye to his friends he recollected asking one of them some very usual everyday question, and being much interested in the answer. Then having bade farewell, he embarked upon those two minutes which he had allotted to looking into himself; he knew beforehand what he was going to think about. He wished to put it to himself as quickly and clearly as possible, that here was he, a living, thinking man, and that in three minutes he would be nobody; or if somebody or something, then what and where? He thought he would decide this question once
      for all in these last three minutes. A little way off there stood a church, and its gilded spire glittered in the sun. He remembered staring stubbornly at this spire, and at the rays of light sparkling from it. He could not tear his eyes from these rays of light; he got the idea that these rays were his new nature, and that in three minutes he would become one of them, amalgamated somehow with them. ‘The repugnance to what must ensue almost immediately, and the uncertainty, were dreadful, he said; but worst of all was the idea, ‘What should I do if I were not to die now? What if I were to return to life again? What an eternity of days, and all mine! How I should grudge and count up every minute of it, so as to waste not a single instant!’ He said that this thought weighed so upon him and became such a terrible burden upon his brain that he could not bear it, and wished they would shoot him quickly and have done with it.’

      Many of you are not interested in God. You're interested in a satisfactory explanation that numbs your itch for truth and fits into your hedonism. You will pay dearly for that so correct the intention before proceeding any further. Many of you should start from scratch because undoing the theological mess you've weaved will take much longer than just building anew with a sincere dedication for truth and not convenience. True self seeks liberation through truth but the ego seeks convenience through theories (having no issue at all to take opinion as fact). Be real.

I have a belief in my own version of what you would call your version of God so go easy casting stones there about how we will pay dearly, you don't know that, you have faith about it! which is believing in the absence of any evidence. That's your prerogative, it's not to be enforced or expected to hold any weight with anyone else.
      My view sees everything as one and equal so I would consider that less self centered and more connected to reality. It's a big universe out there I don't believe we are the mainstage and that to me is the egotistical downfall of most man made religion and the reason why anyone who thinks below the surface level finds it hard to not see that something may not be right here.

    01) God must be Aware self knowing being with thoughts and feelings of its own.
    02) God must be perfect
    03) There can only be One God
    04) God must be good
    05) God must be interested in the individual and be able to effect the life of the individual.
    06) God Must be all powerful
    07) God must be consistent
    08) God must be eternal
    09) Gods desire must be transmitted to living people so they can attempt to follow the Gods desires
    10) God must be open and honest
    11) God must exist outside of our world and universe and be beyond the limits of our physical world.
    My issue with Armstrong is her focus on emotion and mysticism in which our emotions are king and self worship is a ever dangerous cliff. Most pagan faith worshiped the creation and not the creator. It diminished God in to a force to be used as you wish a force that lacks thought or feeling no more worth worship then a flood or a storm.

    Maybe , when it comes down to it , love is not about chasing another human being . Maybe , love is about chasing yourself . Chasing your growth . Chasing your hope
    Maybe love is about learning how to be gentle with yourself , how to believe in the way the Universe has removed certain people from your life . And maybe love grows within you when you learn how to trust your own heart , when you learn how to walk away from the things that have not cared for it
    Maybe , love is about learning how to accept that sometimes even beautiful things end , that sometimes the timing isn't right . And maybe love is about learning that endings aren't something to regret ; maybe it is about learning how to let go , how to appreciate the things you experienced at the hands of caring that were real and hopeful and light in a world that sometimes fails to be soft . Maybe , love is about learning how to be alone . Maybe it is about learning how to wake up in the middle of the bed . How to make just one cup of coffee in the morning . How to hold your own heart , how to take up space . Maybe there is beauty to be found in falling in love with your growth , in learning how to stop filling voids with other human beings , and instead , in slowly having the courage to heal those voids yourself .
    Maybe love is about learning how to be proud of the person you are stretching into , is about embracing the beauty and the depth that exists in trying for something while you are here . And maybe within that , love is about honoring your heart . Maybe the truest , and most honest , extension of love exists in the way you learn how to love yourself , exists in the way you learn how to be compassionate towards the parts of yourself , and your journey , that no one else claps for
    Maybe , love exists in the way you fight to be here , in the way you crash your heart into this world . Maybe , love is about you - being your own strength , being your own safe place . Maybe , when it comes down to it , love is about finally learning how to give yourself the same love you so beautifully give to others . Maybe , love is about embracing the person you are becoming , and believing in your heart , on even your hardest of days

It gets us to work on time, prevents us from walking out in front of moving trucks, helps us negotiate social situations, and it reminds us it is time to meditate etc. As long as we are incarnated we need this aspect to continue life. No, we don't want to be subject to it's run away agenda.

    Each of us, from the most loving and "good" to the most evil and "bad", are all sparks of energy that the Source of All Creation, or the "Universe", created and sent out in order to experience and express itself. The first sparks were the ones who chose to create duality/polarity, in order to more fully experience, learn from, and understand its existence. Because Source is first and foremost, unconditional love, it means that each us is that as well, even if there are those who have chosen to exist and experience the total opposite of that. Love is what created us and what the majority of us are, consciously or unconsciously, trying to return to. It is who/what we are at our deepest core level. However, because Source is all encompassing, it stands to reason that so are we. The yin and yang symbol is a prime example of this. We all possess the light and dark spectrum of energy within us, and are given free will to choose how we want to embody and experience that spectrum.
    We were given free will in order for us to have the opportunity to choose what we want to experience, and it's our own choices that create our reality. We can choose to be an energetic representation of the light, the dark or even remain neutral. Everything is a choice, even when it seems like it's not. There are universal laws that were created in order to establish a guide of balance and foundation for us to explore our existence individually. There is one law that is absolutely absolute and can't be tampered with or altered, the way some of the other laws have been, and that is the law of One. It states that separation is an illusion, because everyone and everything is connected to everyone and everything else, and ALL is connected to the Source of All Creation. We are all just Source made manifest into reality. From the tiniest biological organism to the largest planetary body, everything is connected and forever will be.

I don’t think thats a spoiler but please watch it and let me know what you thought of it.

      Such a great book isn't it. All the bad sides of organised religion (power grabbing, money stealing, anti-'be the master of your own self', 'do exactly as we say, otherwise we'll burn you') makes people forget what beauty lies in some of the original texts and teachings.

      If you truly love Jesus, the most high has nothing to do with paganism. Much of the bible has been corrupted in the sense how Jesus was portrayed and what he meant when he did or did not do certain things. I love Jesus, I believe he died for me on the Cross but do not use the corrupt Bible against the Way that Jesus taught us to be and how to be with the Lord most high. Please be careful you have to read a lot of the original Bible texts to get true meaning. Do you know that Christian is a title that was used by NON CHRISTIANS TO LABEL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST. May the most High enlighten you in your future studies to see the truth as it is tricky .... written word by man is not always what Jesus or God taught. Like for example the Catholics say everything like a marriage that is sacred to God including mass has to be done in a church that is a LIE. THE TRUE followers of Jesus know that you can have an assembly anywhere an be and Honor Jesus Christ. If there is reference to anything pagan to do with the Lord in the bible of otherwise if is not of God. God is not pagan and is against that. I do not know everything and I may be wrong about some thing but too many people turn away from the truth because of written nonsense then what is in their heart. When you are ready ask God to show you when you are worthy and reveal some of the truth and power of His Glory, pray and pray and pray and be patient good things come to those who wait... maybe it will come sooner but once your heart is open to the Lord you will SEE THE TRUTH.

    I really dove into the possibility that life doesn't exist, and that it does. My conclusion is, Life is an illusion and God is energy we are all connected to and it loves all and is all things. Existence is only perceived and to exist is always happening. Nothing comes from something and that something is neither labeled or has an image directly. Only what we illude ourselves by our own perception. God is with us always, we are the ones lying to ourselves daily to only go back to where we belong. Home/ God. There is way too much I'd love to discuss, but I would be typing for days or weeks...
    I love you all!

    I’m a big fan of “The Immortality Key”! I read that a few years ago after hearing him on JRE. Such a cool theory, which I hope becomes a widely accepted fact in the future. If only more people in the world shared this mentality. The world would be in a much better state.

    Understanding, loving and accepting the ego, or shadow self, are the keys and foundation for integrating, or blending, that aspect of the self with the higher self, or light self.. achieving THAT is how the self becomes ONE within itself, instead of dual opposing selves.. and THAT is when TRANSCENDENCE OF THE EGO AND DUALITY is accomplished, allowing the Self to experience a state that some call Nirvana. So just as our Source of Creation encompasses all spectrums of light and dark, so must we as well.

      I desire the balance within myself. But internally it’s a war zone. Always has been. I can literally observe the push n pull n torment. I do think I’m progressing. The more I observe and assess it w intent the more the understanding of it seems to help ground it. It’s still there. I’m still very unstable energy inside. But the concept of getting a grasp on it seems to gain strength w time and patience. Perhaps that in turn is the very part of the process…but holy shit am I not aligned at all lolololololololololololol

      @@Chipiipii23 it's definitely a life long process that seems to get easier over time..lol.. the world we live in feels unstable to the majority of us, so most of us seriously struggle to find the internal balance and stability, because of always being distracted by the instability of our external reality.. however, if we are able to cultivate some sort of internal space of peace, even if just for a few minutes a day, our external lives begin to change dramatically.. it's something that needs to be done repetitively, and on a consistent basis, in order for it to become easier and more natural for us.. self hypnosis was extremely helpful for me initially, but as time has passed, my dedication to my inner peace and determination to transcend my ego, has become a habit that I feel absolutely ecstatic about having.. my tip for you would be to do what feels RIGHT for you because we all have different ways of reaching our desired path.. it might require you to try a multitude of different things until you find what works for you individually, but that's a vital part of our journey.. I love working with the energy of different crystals and stones because it seems to feel soooo much more natural for me.. I also try to stay in communication with my higher power on a daily basis, which has assisted me greatly with so many aspects of my journey..I pray that my words have helped give you some insight and that they find you well and thriving dear friend.. MUCH LOVE AND INFINITE BLESSINGS 💖💖😇😇☯️☯️🌟🌟🤗🤗😉😉💞💞🥰🥰

    A long time ago in a galaxy far far away some people already figured this out. It's called the Force.
    The Force is a mysterious energy field created by life that binds the galaxy together. The Force was created by life, and therefore, resided in all life forms and It was especially powerful in a select group of individuals who chose to study it and except it.
    BTW: The artwork in this one was great.

    This is all wonderful thank you! Can’t wait to read sacred nature. Brian, I would implore you learn more about mother Teresa and the unloving practices she allowed from her nuns. It was abusive and hypocritical of everything the general population believes of her. There is a beautiful podcast called The Turning that respectfully gives more information about her life and organization of nuns.

    psilocybin helped me feel god better than anything else. It helped me see how everything is connected and how everything has beauty. It helped me look at everything with awe, as if I was a child seeing the world for the first time again. It made me laugh at everyone, worried, stressed, and rushing to get somewhere for they have forgotten god, at least for the moment. It helped me understand the irrationality of comparing myself to others as I am not supposed to be like anyone else. I am supposed to be me and them, them. & god made it that way. I also helped me understand that our problems are momentary, and that everything will be okay in the end & to stress oneself is a self burden. & if things are not okay, its not the end.

      You do not need to take hallucinogens to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, who is the Creator, YHVH incarnate, and those drugs only open you up to the dem0nic spirit world, but Satan never presents himself in his true form, but always as an angel of Iight, and therefore he presents the dem0nic spirit world as angelic too. Satan draws people in with the visual things they see, while Jesus Christ draws us to Him through our hearing His Word. You have been deceived my friend, by pharmak€a, the sorcery of hallucinogenic drugs. This is why Jesus tells us not to take such things into our body, because many a souI is being led to eternal damnation through this sorcery.
