I was an uncompromising materialist for so so long, but as I've gotten older, and follow what really seems like a growing consensus among today's thinkers, I starting to accept that materialism is at a dead end, and there's growing evidence that we exist beyond the material world. Or maybe the youtube algorithm has totally duped me into thinking this is a real trend.

I disagree that anguish is the only emotion that does not lie. The unconditional love of spirit is the only truly authentic state because it is pure knowing with no concept of perception, and it is the only state that is perfectly shared without conflict. Anxiety is inherently a conflicted state of doubt - some part of the mind fighting against what is. Emptiness of perception is not emptiness of knowing. There can BE no emptiness in that which IS! This is, interestingly, what most people experience when they leave their body in an NDE and come back to speak of it. They often experience the void as an initial phase, but this almost always transformed into an extremely overpowering experience of immense unconditional love.

Consider this item of mine from my files: THOUGHT ABOUT THOUGHTS: Question: Where do thoughts actually come from? For example: Modern science claims that we have billions of brain cells with trillions of brain cell connections. How exactly does the energy signal 'know' where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a single coherent thought? An analogy I utilize is to spread a brain out like a map. Brain cells are represented by towns and cities, brain cell interconnections are represented by roads and highways, and the energy signal is represented by a vehicle traveling between one or more towns and/or cities. A coherent thought is a coherent trip. How exactly does the vehicle 'know' where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a single coherent trip? A higher intelligence has to tell it those things. But, that is a coherent 'trip' (thought) in and of itself. So, how exactly does our brain think a thought before it consciously thinks that thought? And if thoughts can be thought without consciously thinking thoughts, then what do we need to consciously think thoughts for? Just to consciously think thoughts that are already thought? What then of 'freewill' if we don't even consciously think our own thoughts? And then to further that situation, modern science claims that many different energy signals are starting at various places in the brain, take various pathways, and stop at different places, just to form a single coherent thought. (With the analogy, many vehicles are starting at various places on the map, taking various routes, and stopping at various places, all together forming a single coherent 'trip'.) And somehow it's all coordinated and can happen very quickly and very often. So, where do thoughts actually come from? Who and/or what is thinking the thoughts before I consciously think those thoughts? Do "I" even have freewill to even think these thoughts "I" am thinking about thoughts and type these thoughts to you here on this internet? Modern science also claims we have at least 3 brains: The early or reptilian brain, the mid brain, and the later more developed brain. So, are early parts of the brain thinking thoughts before the later parts of the brain consciously think those thoughts? If reptiles can think thoughts, then couldn't the early part of our brain think thoughts, and somehow pass those thoughts on to later more developed parts of later brains? Is our 'inner self' really just our reptilian brain thinking the thoughts that we think we are thinking? Are we all just later more evolved reptiles? Who don't even consciously think our own thoughts? If not, then how exactly does the brain think thoughts? Where exactly do thoughts originally come from so our brain can consciously think those thoughts? So "I" am thinking about thoughts, if it is even "I" thinking the thoughts that "I" believe "I" am thinking about thoughts. Or so "I" currently think, here again, if it is even "I" doing the thinking. "My" thinking is imploding as "I" think about thoughts. But then again, is it even 'me' that is imploding? I will have to think about it some more. Poof, I'm gone. Is just energy interacting with itself the lowest form of sub-consciousness? Is it even consciousness itself?

TRANSCENDING DETERMINISTIC INDUSTRIALISM INTO SYNTROPIC ABUNDANCE - While deterministic causation does seem to exist, and is the basis of Western science and technology (and other aspect dominant culture), it is not the ONLY pattern of causation. It is insufficient to explain the cosmos, particulary its pervasive complexification into beautiful and intelligent living systems, as Raphael points out. I view this deterministic causation as an coercive process from the outside>in or from top>down, involving an increase of entropy. Because it is realtively "easy" to break things apart (from chemical bonds to the voluntary agency of living things), the application of concentrated (focused) entropic force is "deterministic". It also has objectified, de-vitalized, characterised by a Win-lose, zero sum, scarcity, fearful mindset, and by Us-them, I-it relations. AND this "entropic causation" involves a self-fulfilling dynamic since acting in accord to this coercive, deterministic worldview will increase entropy, setting into motion a positive-feedback loop of degradation, with ever-increasing difficulties as things fall apart. BTW, our capacity to wield such deterministic force is located in our Left-brain, and its strategy for minimizing information entropy ("surprisal" according to Friston's FEP) is to force the world to fit what we expect, our model, our ego-desires. On the other hand, our Right-brain has capacity for non-coercive, loving, relational, I-thou, We-are-them and They-are-us kinship relations, and for un-coerced (freely chosen) participation in the unpredictable co-creation of Win-win abundance. It provides an awareness of "syntropic causation" that is not, and CAN NOT BE, deterministic, but allows surprising emergence of vitality, beauty and complexification. This involves reducing surprisal by developing awareness and understanding of the world as-it-is, and of its potentiality for entropic and syntropic causation/outcomes/flows. Generally, this mindset is required for the enlightened pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness. It is the necessary foundation for the discipline, empathy, skill and restraint required to transcend the perilous paradoxes and positive-feedbacks of power, control, and entropic causation. Only cultures based on a common understanding of the risks, benefits and potentialities of syntropic and entropic causation, and the coincidence of opposites (coincidentia oppositorum) required, are able to carefully deploy power, control, technology, deception, etc... in service of sacred syntropic values and ideals rather than tragic ego-driven pursuits (wealth, power, status). There are many successful examples of this syntropic mindset and its many healthy fruits, including healthy spiritual communities and especially indigenous cultures around the world. These cultures demonstrate that all of us are capable of enabling our planetary civilization to flow from the entropic anthropocene into an age of abundance with individual, collective, and ecological regeneration-healing and of syntropic flourishing. We can do this! And yes, Raphael and Ian McGilchrist have kindred spirits destined meet in beauty. May it be so. I am loving what you are sharing with all of us, Curt, and suppose this means I love you too! Thank you for another brilliant dialogue.

Examples contrasting contradictory formulations from classical theories with their potential non-contradictory counterparts using infinitesimal/monadological frameworks: 1) The Measurement Problem in Quantum Mechanics Contradictory: Standard Copenhagen Interpretation If a system interacts with a measurement device, the quantum state undergoes wave function collapse into an eigenstate of the measured observable. This introduces an ad-hoc, unphysical process that is inconsistent with the deterministic Schrödinger evolution. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Relational Quantum Mechanics |Ψ>total = Σn cn |Un>system |Vn>apparatus Measurement = Modulation of relations between |Un>, |Vn> By treating measurements as interactions modulating relational correlations between monadic system and apparatus states |Un>, |Vn>, collapse can be avoided while preserving definite records. 2) Renormalization Issues in Quantum Field Theory Contradictory: Renormalization via infinite subtractions Feynman diagrams contain divergences like ∫d4k/k2 = ∞ which must be absorbed by redefining parameters. This ad-hoc renormalization procedure lacks physical justification and does not converge in realistic models. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Infinitesimal Regulator Approach ∫d4k/[k2 + ρ2]1/2 < ∞ (ρ is infinitesimal regulator) All calculations manifestly finite using infinitesimals ρ Introducing infinitesimals avoids true mathematical infinities from the start, removing the need for unmotivated subtractions. 3) Paradoxes in Set Theory Contradictory: Naive Set Theory Russell's Paradox, Burali-Forti Paradox arise from unrestricted set comprehension axioms. These paradoxes undermined early attempts at formalizing abstract set theory foundations. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Topos Theory / Categorical Set Theory X ≃ Y ⇐⇒ ∃n, IsEquivalent(X,Y) in (∞,1)-Category(n) U: ∞-Topos → ∞-Groupoids (univalent universes) Representing sets/classes as higher identifications up to homotopy equivalence in (∞,1)-categories avoids the self-referential paradoxes. 4) The Problem of Mental Causation Contradictory: Classical Property Dualism Mental properties and physical properties are distinct. But how can the mental cause any physical effects/behavior? This is the core paradox of the mind-body problem - mental causation seems impossible on dualist premises. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Monadic Neutral Monism Qsystem = Usystem|0> (mental state from monad perspective) Physical = RelativeState(Qsystem, Qenv) If mental states are monadic perspectives and physics arises relationally between monads, mental causation is simply the modulation of physical relative states via monadic perspectival transitions. 5) The Continuum Hypothesis in Set Theory Contradictory: Zermelo-Fraenkel Axioms CH: There are no sets whose cardinality is strictly between that of the integers and the real numbers. However, CH is logically independent of ZFC, and leads to paradoxes like the Banach-Tarski paradox of measure. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Non-standard Analysis Cardinality(*R) = Cardinality(R) + 1 *R contains infinitesimal and infinite elements Treating the real continuum *R as derived from ordered infinitesimal monadic extensions resolves CH by assigning a higher cardinality, avoiding paradoxes. 6) Paradoxes of Spacetime Singularities Contradictory: General Relativity Gμν = 8πTμν Solutions contain spacetime singularities where geometric description breaks down. The presence of singularities where physics becomes transcendentally ill-defined represents a fatal flaw. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Combinatorial Algebraic Quantum Gravity ds2 = Σx,y Γxy dxdy (metric from monadic charge relations) Gμν = f(Γxy, mx, qx, ...) (monadic gravitational dynamics) Representing spacetime/gravity algebraically from relations Γxy among discrete quantized monadic charges/masses avoids singular infinities entirely. 7) The Liar's Paradox in Logic Contradictory: "This statement is false." If true, it is false. If false, it is true. This simple self-referential statement leads to a paradox that undermines classical bivalent logic. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Pluriverse-Valued Realizability Logic ⌈A⌉ = {Vn(A) | n∈N} (truth value as monadic realization projections) A ↔ B ⇐⇒ ⌈A⌉ = ⌈B⌉ (equivalence between realization pluriverses) Representing statements as pluriverses of realizability projections Vn(A) across monads, rather than binary truth values, avoids self-referential paradoxes. 8 ) The Black Hole Information Paradox Contradictory: Classical Black Hole Models As matter crosses the event horizon, information about its initial state is irretrievably lost to external observers. This seems to violate unitarity and entropy increase principles of quantum theory. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Monadic Black Hole Complementarity |Ψ>exterior = Σn cn |Un>horizon |Ψ>interior = Σn cn |Vn>trans-pit Treating the exterior/interior as distinct monadic realizations |Un>, |Vn> of the same superposition allows information to be holographically distributed across all perspectives.

This was very interesting. It might seem vague in some parts, but grasping concepts that have not been clearly named and concepcionalized by our culture is usually pretty hard. It’s part of bringing about metaphysical concepts. Materialism seems to be the only straightforward metaphysical theory, but it is in my opinion a bit of an illusion because it somewhat simplifies experience and the philosophical work to fully understand is usually focused on trying shut out any other categories of ontology that might exist in reality. Even the epistemological aspects of materialism is simplified and non unifying (measurement problem, incompleteness theorem, the reality of irreducible complexity, etc).

It seems he's just saying for meditation. accepting the void is that: if you accept the void you gain Zen; or a flow state where you feel like you become the process itself. So imagine the process being the very thing of living, of being a person; being yourself without baggage, without preamble- without expectation of what you should be or what you can be or what you ought to be. to simply be "to be". To be yourself, assuming the self is such a thing that is beyond the appearance and beyond the physical nature of your neurons and the deterministic cultural implications, that make you so as you are. In hopes essentially, one will be who they really are without all that. raw intuitive emotion that is emergent out of the laws of the universe but not necessarily restricted by it. Perhaps it's stochasticity?

Curt, re: your quote from interview on people's unhappiness lacking sense of animated splendor/blind to wonder.... I agree that would change a lot of people's lives to get back to, because I do walk the world in wonder and frequent amazement. But the human drive to share/find the others also comes into play. So to find the wonder is step 1, but the desire to share that wonder with another/others may be a stronger drive and result in more completeness and fulfillment than to walk alone in wonder. Even Buddha returned from the tree to teach others; we're communal, at base; no man is an island, and all that. I think finding connection is what we really suffer from, and that can become spiritual (or religious) really quickly as connections are all temporary, regardless of the length. So even if you find connections w/others, loss will come, and to convince ourselves of a reality where our connections are still there, or are everlasting/eternal, gives us some relief of the potential alternatives that leave us suffering. Even if everything is alive and amazing, there's still a desire to share that in some way with others, especially of your species, who might understand/commiserate/sense it similarly. Just some thoughts, and oddly inspired by my impression of people's true desires in the comment section...

16:38 beyond itself. So it's pure transcendence. It's raw transcendence in a way. But when people talk 16:44 about materialism, in fact, they are talking about inertialism. So they think that the world, 16:51 our universe is made of bits of dead things. Static that can be grasped. Exactly. Things 17:02 that are passive and it's even what is pure determinist, pure determinism. Because when 17:09 you say, when you are having a deterministic view, that is totally in my way, totally absurd, even on 17:16 a logical point of view. And it is the main, it's still the main, the main view that everything is 17:21 determined, totally determined. When you say that, that means that if you take any object, 17:29 every bit of things, you know, I don't now use the word matter of things. You will, 17:38 when you say it is totally determined, that means that everything that happens, even in the, 17:45 in the component of the thing itself is determined from the outside, right? Means it's something 17:52 that is outside that has pushed it right from the beginning. It's what it means, right? So in a way 17:59 you will say, okay, so you take any object, this object is entirely determined from the outside, 18:07 but that means that any object that is outside this very object is also determined from the 18:13 outside. So where is the dynamic that allows those things to actually being related to each other in 18:21 a dynamic, in a dynamic way, in an active way? So I think there is something inside, but not 18:29 inside thinking about inside, like we could say like inner more than inside, uh, the object, what 18:38 we called object, what we called things that has his own determination. Otherwise he could, I mean, 18:48 I will say he couldn't even move. He couldn't even go to, to, to, to some places because, uh, 18:54 you know, when we think the world has passive beats or dead beat of matter, dead beats of 19:02 object that give the appearance of an organism when they become more complex, for instance, 19:08 like macro molecules that become more complex. We don't say anything about how it becomes more

"Pure transcendence" is not an original concept of Modernity in the Western World. Two hundred years prior, Saint John of the Cross, a Catholic Mystic, called it the Dark Night of the Soul. But he did not see Beauty in the "void", instead he saw God's Love, which seems much more the Truth. And your notion that "The people that we call mystics are so free, because they are mystics, and it's not easy for, I mean, to be a mystic, you need to accept everything around. You're very active, but you can't be controlled. So they were the principle, the main enemies of religion, of the religious hierarchy and the priest and all that" is totally incorrect. Saint John of the Cross, along with many other mystics, are Doctors of the Catholic Church and hardly enemies of religion or the religious hierarchy.

Buddhism is not about voids. It’s about one’s true nature. Empty of essence, cognisant in nature and unimpeded, or unconfined. When you look for mind, the self, the I, you can’t find it but at the same time it is the nature of mind to be cognisant, to know. And when its essence is known there is no impeding it. It is unconfined and spontaneous. Any response is right in thought, speech and action. There is no void. Everything exists, a cup, a saucer, a name, a person, it’s just these things don’t exist the way you think they do. It is not that they are all an illusion but rather like an illusion…which is different. The relative and absolute exist together as do the three qualities of mind above. “In Japan in the Spring we eat cucumbers.”

This is the problem - if you want simple, succinct answers that are easy to come up with, you'll take the subjective answer. If you want to study the topic scientifically, and provide complex, contingent answers that evolve and are refined, you'll take the objective path.

When you don't have a simple logical answer, sometimes you need to guess, then check, and iterate. Consciousness everywhere is actually a really good first guess! What you do is assume whatever it is you're looking at has a mind, just like yours, and in so doing you focus your entire mind on the problem. It's a way to justify theorizing. It's the set of possibilities that can be imagined. However, it works better when you admit to yourself that the first guess was almost certainly wrong!

The solution to Zenoes paradoxes is in the quantization of time.. time is discrete because it is created by a circular or vibratory motion. The smallest of which is one cycle from the zitterbewegung clock of the electron and no less becase the electron is the smallest stable mass. Thus while you can divide space indefinitely, time can be divided up to a one small interval and nothing less. The proof using limits of Zenoe paradoxes is not correct.. because in the proof, one variable is made proportional to another and the limit is performed. This proof breaks down if you insist on the variables going to zero independently. Then only the discreteness of time can solve the paradox,

Seemed to start to well but came across as very confused. He needs to refine his thoughts or his communication or both. I stopped listening when he said that “desire to become” is a positive way to progress either scientifically or philosophically (may be both). But he should listen to and read J Krishnamurthy who has categorically concluded how the “desire to become” has been the biggest reason for all the human problems. You should listen to The future of humanity series with Dr. Bohm to understand. They talk about how humans created psychological time which is at the root of all the problems that arise out of the “desire of becoming”. Also, Buddhism is an offshoot of Hinduism. Buddha himself was a Hindu who was trained in Hindu philosophy and practices. Hinduism was prevalent in a lot of Asian countries as well, may be not all. Finally, it was Buddhists from India actually who brought Buddhism to a lot of south East Asian countries and China. So, yeah, this guy is just bonkers. May be he is just bad at communicating his ideas - which would also be an exception for a philosopher, btw.

The “desire to become” has been the biggest reason for all the human problems pointed by Krishnamurthy is (relative) true but we live in a reality of duality, of contrast, no? thus the other side of the coin, with problems we create more possible solutions aka expansion, new purposes, new meanings out of the Void the full potentiality. As Liogier Beautifully pointed let's follow the positive, at least as long we are in this reality, this dimension of mind. However keep an open mind as much as possible to not get "calcified" as an alchemist would say, which is the root of problems, the fixed mind in general, not just the psychological time creation but the attachment that unable us to think and feel beyond.

It's true that we can't reverse time or entirely change society's perception of psychological time. However, Liogier seems to suggest that "desire to become" itself is a more positive approach to progress. I have an objection to this "unqualified" view on the "desire to become". I agree with your more "qualified" view on the same.

"The death of materialism" - a little too over the top - don't you think. In any case this is the last gasp of breathtakingly ungrateful anti-materialists (more current anti-physicalists), while enjoying and accessing all the very benefits of the technology, which derives from science, which is also a stand-in for physicalism. In any case, physics is not a finished project, but what we know so far has given us modern technology. Of course there are sociological aspect that have to be dealt with. Not sure where he gets the idea that science says things are dead. The science that deals with living things talks about what it means to be living. Science of consciousness talks about what this phenomenon is, we call consciousness and how it is generated from the brain. The science of non-living does not talk about living. When sodium and chlorine come in contact, they react and create salt. Does bot sound passive to me. They are determined to do that because of the electron valencies. The valencies are their own properties. Duh. Total setting up of straw man to then shoot it down. Ungrateful is the word that comes to mind.

Realism: 0D (indivisible) = fundamental, absolute and locally real. Non-zero dimensions (divisible) = not fundamental, not absolute and not locally real.

It seems like he characterizes "transcendence" as "enlightenment". People characterize it in different ways, but Im inclined to believe that he is conceiving of the ancient hebrew concept of Bitul, or self nullification. The phrase "transcendence" conotes some kind of ascension. In contrast, bitul denotes "self invalidation". So Bitul is kind of like melting away to merge with the Universe, sometimes called "ego death." This kind of seems to be the spiritual underpinning of most religions, Ive heard that some force induce this experience with D'M,T. I'm pretty sure this is what he is referring to when he mentions "transcendence" Of course, recognizing our nothingness relative to (and subordination to) the totality is not the climax of the hebrew philosophy/traditions-rather there is a next step which is being a well formed conduit in motion for the totality. (Not just sitting around staring at your hand, as my brother once joked) Some take the transcendence angle in the opposite direction of the bitul angle, though the experiential underpinning might be the same----and they basically deify themselves. Other can deify someone who talks with this kind of jargon, like when jesus says 'I and the father are one'... Well ok jesus, thats true.

18:48 I will say he couldn't even move. He couldn't even go to, to, to, to some places because, uh, 18:54 you know, when we think the world has passive beats or dead beat of matter, dead beats of 19:02 object that give the appearance of an organism when they become more complex, for instance, 19:08 like macro molecules that become more complex. We don't say anything about how it becomes more 19:16 complex and he becomes something else with it on law that we call biological law. We don't say anything when we talk, for instance, also about, uh, the complexity of the neural networks. 19:29 And we say after a certain layer, a certain level of, of complexity, it becomes a thought. And like, 19:36 we don't say anything about those transition. We don't say anything. How, how is that even 19:41 possible that there is a property in the beats of things themselves to complexify that men's self to 19:51 the point that they become something else with different laws. We don't know why we pretend we 19:56 know what we don't know why at all. And at least if we stay on a pure deterministic view, like it's 20:04 entirely determined, it's like if we were saying that every bit of matter was determined outside of 20:11 itself. So it's like if every bit of matter was actually outside of itself. And if you say that 20:17 the entire universe is like the maximum beat of matter, and you say, if it is entirely determined 20:26 from outside, it means the entire universe is that side of itself, which is totally absurd 20:32 and doesn't have any meaning. Therefore, there is something else that the pure deterministic view, 20:39 not even using quantum mechanics in itself, in a pure logical way. So this dynamic, 20:50 it's actually what makes the world being something else than dead. And that makes the beauty of it. 20:57 But it is that, that we refuse today. We refuse that even if quantum mechanics and other field 21:04 of science could allow us now to interpret the world in a more positive way on that aspect, 21:12 like actually it's not dead beat of matter, it's something else, you know? We refuse it because 21:20 in fact, it's in our mind that we are negative. It's what I call negativity. Even it's what I 21:26 call in other of my world, the triple negativity that prevent us from actually changing our world, 21:33 even politically, even socially, even culturally, because we're stuck into this negativity. How does 21:40 it prevent us? Because you know, when you have a negative way of the world, is that you have lost, 21:49 if you have followed what I said in the first part, and I know you did, there is the desire 21:54 to survive, the desire to live, comfort, and the desire to be. The desire to be is when you feel that there is something missing and you need to complete it and to 22:02 go beyond. This desire to be, it's also the desire to become. It's what makes you want, for instance, 22:09 when you want to meet someone and you are human, you're immediately imagine that love is something 22:16 that you will be able to tell about yourself, like it will become something that will make a world 22:22 of you, you know? And so this desire to be will be the only thing almost that will count in your 22:29 life. That will be the positivity that will allow you to wait under the rain, you know? Because 22:35 it's the lover that you're waiting, et cetera, et cetera. So it's that, that is positivity. Science works the same way. The scientist, when he wants to discover something, he's never tired, 22:49 he's in his research center, and he's like a lover. I mean, the object of his research, I mean, 22:55 it's true that he fell in love with it because it becomes the desire to be, it's assimilating 23:01 and it's full positivity. And so nowadays, science become something more and more with 23:09 what I call zombie science that lost track of this positivity. Like for instance, when we are talking 23:17 about science and technology, we are talking about avoiding certain things, like there is a dange

This guy's got no idea folks. A deluded idealist. . . . divorced from reality and Divinity. VAST multitudes seeking truth *fail to find* because they're easily *led astray* by worldly logic, sensuality, vain esoterism or specious mysticisms. *I know I was.* I'm an ex neo-vedantic (hindu roots) new ager. I used to be into so much "cosmic/spiritual" stuff: trance channelings, ancient wisdom, gnosticism, psychedelic drugs, hindu gurus and buddhist variants. I was illuminated by the *kundalini (serpent) spirit* then 8 years ago I got rightly enlightened by the *Holy Spirit* - which proceeded to show me what a *fool* I was before..... Spirit led to the REAL *Yahusha/Jesus Christ* and everything changed - *Paradigm Shifted* ..... This is being *BORN AGAIN* (John 3) and it's an ongoing surprise to me 😁 Turns out Spirituality is a *soul serious* business taken way too lightly by *far too many* .... The End-Times are clearly *dead ahead,* a time of Antichrist is near. It escapes the notice of our self-absorbed, glamour-saturated world that we're in a spiritual WAR for souls. The immensity of *ignorance* is astonishing: supernal powers are BEDAZZLING the minds of the masses (Ephesians 6:12). We've inherited ancient spiritual subversion: *the Earth is fallen* ..... the holistic fields of nature are fallen state; *"Morphic Resonance"* is OUT of affinity with DIVINITY; *Death is all too familiar;* Natural life hunts, KILLS and *feeds* on itself. Humanity is a spiritually *fallen race* highly prone to *deceit and delusion.* FRANKLY, we need a SAVIOUR and by Jesus Christ we have a GREAT ONE As a new ager I couldn't believe (I was *damn sure* I knew better) but in the *Light of Spirit* Jesus really is the *Way, the truth and the Life* just like He said: no one comes to GOD except through Jesus, there's no other way (Matthew 7:13-14). Being a neo-vedantist I wasn't convinced, yet the Bible is Spirit breathed, written by men inspired by the *Holy Spirit.* Jesus is vividly portrayed and endorsed in the new testament, in fact he's apparent in the old testament too (Luke 24:27 & 44) and by *His LIGHT* we're allowed to *see* that and *know Him.* Any intellectual concerns or previously perceived discrepancies/contradictions are ironed out and the supernatural narrative flows most beautifully..... The Bible is the Revelation of *Jesus Christ* (Isaiah 2:2-4; 9:6-7, 11:1-10 & 45:23, Daniel 7:13-14, Matthew 28:18, Mark 14:61-62, Revelation 1:7-8 & 18, Rev 19:11-21)

@@AlexanderShamov Just go out some more, and interact with the common people who are not intellectually trained, people dealing with day to day life, not a dig on people whatsoever, but just by observation an educated person can pretty much encapsulate behavior or mindsets. And that is called a hypothesis, which you can either choose to investigate or not, so it's not purely a strawman. What this original poster did here on a specific vid, not having watched the full length is a true strawman. From mark 16:06 Raphaël Liogier explains his view of materialism. haha my man George didn't even got that far and already misrepresented the vid. Be careful people with what you read. Observe the facts for yourselves.

I've had dreams about events that would occur the next day...and sometimes months in advance...my personal experience shook my worldview of materialism because materialism can only explain so much.

This guy says Real meditation is to put yourself in the void and accept the void and feel nothing at all. Then you become a human. If you that all your life, it seems like you become an idiot. 😂😂

far from true: he explains why the void isn't nothing, he actually is against nihilism and he talks extensively on beauty and meaning(s) of life.

this is your brain on atheism. All glory is due to Allah for giving us clear guidance and avoiding all this scrambling.

bruh he's just rambling incoherently w/ not great english. like wtf is he on about w/ materialism entailing that reality is outside of itself?? who thinks that? it'd be great to maintain quality control & not invite goofy guests who can't even communicate clearly and says bizarre things.

This actor reminds me me of "Borat" and Peter Sellers playing In specter Cluseu. Great job playing a French intellectual full of himself!
