@@Madelro100 well I guess you don't need to know your creator if you love everyone and do voluntary work - except you will meet him when you die and he'll ask you then if you need him or not and if you were truly good or just ignoring him in your self-righteous pride while on earth - there is none good but god and we have all fallen short of his glory, that's the truth, abide in the truth and abide in him who is the truth who knows you and loves you
The serpent in the garden is meant represent The worship of knowledge as a thing greater than g-d. Sam is following the serpent because he’s on this quest to find the answer to narcissism within some sort of knowledge structure. Today in the age of a good way to conceptualize, it is worshiping the mental model. You have of the world as yourself rather than allowing yourself to be egoless with the path of your life Surrendered to the divine
I have some contentions about that but for the most part I would agree, I think it's a case of staring too long into the void and now it's staring back. He finds his answer to life in nothingness (his new channel), he wrote a book about it and did his part to bring something out of it. Perhaps this is where the focus on the Narcissist leads you to in the end, and we all want to peak for as long as we can to try and extract something out of it and can do at best a mental model which maps out the gaping hole to be avoided, which we should of been trained in at school, at home, by peers, brothers and sisters. But having all followed the serpent, and not authentically fulfilling our role as children of God. The devil himself not able to have a sufficient enough ego as a holy angel I then don't believe egolessness is to be desired but authenticity in your own.
@@martiendejong8857 a real person yeah he came as a man so that we might be redeemed by him, the one and only one who makes something out of nothing - I speak for myself not for ryan
Dude... Really? Sam takes his knowledge from his academic backround. If u dont mind me asking what's yours?? And how does it validate what ur saying against what he's saying?? And how sure are you that if compared, your take would be more correct than his? Also, he said Samson is ONE of the first narcissists not THE first. Plus "Bad Jew"?? Bro grow up
I know the man Jesus Christ - those are my credentials, ofc he's a bad Jew if he doesn't know Torah as a good Jew would know his book out of respect for his people and his God. I studied the bible continuously for 5 years and I apply vaknins teachings onto himself. Also I address and correct the "one of the first narcissist" comment in my recent breakdown which is linked twice at the start and end of this video. Good questions though keep on asking
@@davidgatward4395 As long as we do things in good faith man. And just cause you studied the Bible for 5 years, doesn't mean u qualify to tell who is and isn't a "True narcissist" or a "True Jew" Don't be subjective in your analysis
@@Unathi_Logic the whole bible is about distinguishing a good Jew from a bad Jew.... Jew's are God's chosen people, those that know Him and keep his commandments, and there was a time, in the time of Elijah, where there was only 2000 good ones, hiding in a cave, as the bad Jews were out to get them. Jesus Christ, as God, came to earth to live the life of the truest Jew, he dedicated his whole ministry reaching the 'bad', 'lost' Jew and the whole NT was written by Jews guiding one to become like Him and to test the spirits to see if they are from God. There is no subjectivity here these are objective truths which is a bit of a joke, you focus on the one subject that matters, Jesus Christ, and you arrive at all objective truth. Every bad Jew will discuss and research and promote as good anything possible except for Him and never arrive, And will bring 100s and 1000s to do the same with him. In terms of a true narcissist that's one that doesn't have Jesus Christ as Lord, now you just gauge the severity of it to understand who's a truer narc or not. For instance as Satan as the first Narcissist (self-worshipper) he was a very and still is a very intellectual, persuasive and seductive being having also more bible/book knowledge than any human can have. Therefore his infiltration is insidious particularly in the churches, and in the universities. Narcissism is as a flavour of rebellion against God. Knowing the different flavours of disorder helps you taste test in yourself and in others to know what to mark and avoid so that your own path onto glory is not tainted. However the more you know Jesus, who is truth, the more you can simply tell what is of him and what is not of him. What is mascarading as him or what is truly him.
I totally agree, I think that's the exploration of the video, taking the grandiose persona of professor hodge Hodgkinson as an alternative narcisisstic identity in the end doesn't achieve much else different but towing a different line, full of again, relevant truth which a wide audience is willing to hear. Paul did say that as long as they are preaching the name of Jesus, those that do it for their own grandiosity, are still getting His name out, and it's worth rejoicing over. Therefore I give an example of how he can maintain his Narcissism and simply shift it into serving better the true God of Israel, of his people, Yeshua, Jesus Christ, and additionally his gentile audience. There is no more relevant subject than Jesus, joining modern psychological study with Him to know, confront and overcome wickedness and disorder in our day? 💥 a firecracker. He would continue his analysis on narcissism but join it with knowing the man Jesus Christ therefore actually rocketing himself in relevance and grounding himself further in what's good, true and where life comes from.
Sam never said that Samson was the first narcissist. He said “one of the first narcissists described in the Bible”. You made a long video about nothing. It’s important to listen carefully. Either way, I’m not a Jew and I find all those mythological stories interesting but not very relevant. The stories in the Bible have feet of clay… which I’m fully aware to also be a biblical story.
Obviously, God cannot bring someone back from being a psychopath, sociopath or having narcissistic personality disorder because it doesn’t happen in the society gets more and more narcissistic. So where is God what he doing making it worse
I follow fantastic psychopathic christians on UA-cam, I follow true anti-narc narcs, sociopathy i dont have personal experience with them, but all are able to know and serve God doesn't matter what your genetic code or your predispositions are like. He gives a sound mind, and control, you achieve his will through your life by allowing him into it.
Yeah I'm not really sure why people still watching it, it's actually tragic, because it exposes vaknin, who the viewer knows, as the exact person he's been teaching you to avoid. Done in the medium of imitation, showing how he's a character following a script, a reflection, and not a real person.
he's a jew. At the very least he should understand his own book and his own people. How can we trust that he is benefically telling us about any person without knowing his own self, unless of course he himself is nothing (a true narcissist), and can only form an imitation of who he is suppose to be (a jew, of God's chosen people), evidenced by his superficial understanding and total lack of KNOWING the Torah. Considering the 100s of papers, hours and manpower hes put into psychological study as a professional distraction from dealing with who he really is, and advocating it as "the way", couldn't he at least dedicate 1% of that time to know his own people's book? Gives new atheism vibes which is super cringe.
@@davidgatward4395Judaism is a religion, not a race, ethnic group, tribe, etc. Vaknin is not a believer, so by his own admission, the people of the book are not "his" people. A true Jew is defined in Romans 2:28-29; to label oneself a Jew according to any other standard is a folly.
@@jenn2712 well why would we want vaknin continuing in folly the man constantly calls himself a Jew, so he can renounce the label or become who he is, or keep abusing himself with nothingness and stay a wounded child
@@davidgatward4395they are not the chosen people bc they rejected Jesus. The first Christians (many of whom were Jews)…ahem… were called Catholics and they became the new chosen people with a new priesthood and sacrifice.
Vaknin is an admitted "reformed" narcissist, so he has the tendancy to think he's an expert @ every subject. He should stay in his lane. He is sometimes also dead wrong about narcissism. I listen to other experts on narcissism vs codependency because they are more sane.
he won't admit to being a reformed narcissist in an interview he has with a 16 year old when asked... do you know why that is? And where did you see that admission cus I imagine the interviewer saw the same post/video too. It's so infectious and disingenuous that he doesn't allow this to be open knowledge, because a reformed narcissist just means one that is put together like a reformed alcoholic. Doesn't mean he's batting for the same team or that his intentions are well just means that he's a more "ethical" or less "maladaptive" evildoer and refuses to improve
@@savanataylor6052 in terms of regurgitation of the literature he's always spot on, that's the hiding place, to then pounce with a Samson and Delilah. There's even a video where he overtly asks for the viewers to let their guard down 😮💨
