@rideorcrawl .i think that if soul is existing frm eternity then universe(space and time)also should be eternal.i dnt want to deviate u frm the topic but jus trying to relate things as you said soul exists frm eternity..i knew your view about life and god but furthermore just wanted to know ur thnking abt how universe and god are realted? as i thnk we cant understand them without interrelating them.
@TheAaCss Because I believe that God is everything I don;t separate the two... but for the sake of "Nuts and Bolts" I feel that everything is eternal only in Spirit... but in manifest form (or in a form that can be seen, heard, felt, tasted or touched, that it is temporary only. While the things that make it up may go on... the things themselves are temporary and ever changing. Hope that makes sense for you. :)
Spirituality includes ALL spirits. There is only ONE spirit that is GOOD. Without trusting in Jesus Christ you're welcoming in a whole bunch of pretty-faced evil spirits. You don't know what you're dealing with. With the name of JESUS all demons will flee from you so you can be free, but you MUST trust in Him personally. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock". He is already waiting to welcome you into His arms, and be safe from all demons. Run to Jesus!!!
@hearts12ish Thank you for your kind word! While I do not believe that those things are necessary what I DO see is that clearly you wish and want the best for me and for that I am so grateful!
@jesusgirly007 there cant be a god as a single entity that created eveythng from nothng.if god created space then when was god before when there was no space and if god created time then how did god created time without consuming time.everthng complex things run with some simple basic law..as far as i know according to physics nothng can be created nor destroyed simlarly evrythng is a part of single power that i call god and we are just a part of it but not a creation..
@TheAaCss I totally hear you! I think that is a lovely way to describe what you believe... I think that all things that exist are a creation of that one presence... something behind it all but that is all of it itself. There are so many ways to describe things but the FEELING is the most important part. I am so glad to know that people connect to SOMETHING greater than just themselves... and encourage anyone to undergo the process of discovering that idea with love, grace and forgiveness!
i agree that the way of spiritual living is the best way to live our life peacefully but every thing has its own cause relating one after another.and ultimately every thing ends in the question what is god? you said god is not an individual but a system running with spiritual things .so i just want to know that whether you believe in eternalism theory of time and space or not?
@TheAaCss I am not femiliar with either of htose concepts but wht I do believe in is that The universal Soul as well as the individualized human soul are eternal. I try not to subscribe to too many specific ideas if I can avoid it. Defining things too much seems to be a long and windy road I try and avoid personally. I am an open ended thinker. I have ideas but try to avoid concrete concepts... all of them are temporary any way.
You express yourself very well and artistically. I understand you. Your understanding of life could'nt be any better. I highly appreciate your beliefs! "the gift of understanding" (:

Biggest mistake your gonna make is mix spirituality with religion.I respect and understand , you and your way of liveing.And you are my brother too althought i am an atheist
@albjon100 Totally dig your comment and thank you for that! I think religion is a way of identifying or nailing down spirituality... so I am a little less attached than many even though I have studdied to be a minister of one speciofic faith.
@jesusgirly007 if you are a Christian then you should believe everyone and everything is god. I mean god did create everything so how is everything not god?
@bigcityva I wouldn't agree that anyone "should" feel a certain way because of their beliefs but I would agree that this is one way to see things from a Christian perspective. I think it's always inportant for us to be mindful of the difference between what "is" and what we believe to be... clearly that idea is an opinion (one I happen to like) but it is not an automatic conclusion. I like the way you see it though!
@bigcityva Christians do not believe that everyone and everything is God. God is a separate being, and only in those that have the Holy Spirit in them when they are saved. We believe that God is a holy, loving, omnipotent being that created heaven and earth and sent his son Jesus to earth to die for the world's sins. How can a human being be God? You did not create the world, That's extremely blasphemous.
@jesusgirly007 But if your god created everything, than how can not everything be god? That's what I don't understand about religion. The separation of God and everything else. God made everything, therefore everything has God in it. If you make something, it has a part of you in it.
@bigcityva How can you not understand? It's very simple. Okay, let's say I make some muffins. Does this mean the muffins are me? No. That's ridiculous. They're muffins. God is God and we are humans. We cannot be God. No where in the Bible does it say that humans are God. You also need to define God first. I think your religion thinks God is more of a "thing" or a "power" and is everything is God. The Bible states that God is a being, more like a person than a feeling.
@jesusgirly007 The Bible was written by man! but in the bible it states that God created Man in his own image which must mean we are all God like. We all have the ability to create and love.
@medusadiva The Bible is God's word, written by man, inspired by God. There's nothing in the Bible that God does not approve of. We are made it God's "image" No where in the Bible does it say we are like God, are God, or are Godly or Holy in any way. We are humans. "For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God."
@zachariah2006 I wouldn't agree either but I don;t think moching it makes it any better either. Just as confident as you are about the way you feel... so too is that person who wrote their feelings here. I appreciate knowing that you don't agree and I think that maybe this is a chance for both of us to really take a look at how we react when our beliefs are challenged and ask if we act any differently... ;)
@bigcityva I know a lot of people (myself included) are ramping up online content so stay tuned! One other place to go could be to search agapelive because they are great there and do online streaming. It's not "exactly" what I believe but so dang close it's a fine tooth comb over to pick out the differences.
I'm Christian, and my sisters friend showed me this. I'm 13 so I don't have a lot of understanding still, of what this is, because I've been Christian all my life. So is spiritual living, basically just believing in god, and other stuff. Is it like Christianity?
@Mistylove231 While it is often classified as a Christian faith I don't know a single Christian that would say we are. The best way to get an idea of what we believe specifically is to read the Science of Mind Textbook or go to a local church... but what I can tell you is that for those Christians who believe that Jesus taught us the gospel of Love... we are closer than you may think!
@Mistylove231 No sweetheart, This is NOT Christian. It is very different. It is evil. Jesus says in the Bible "I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes through the father except through me." These people think they are God. That is not okay. They believe everyone and everything is God and that there is no such thing as "sin" or doing anything wrong. If you have questions please contact me, I would love to talk to you. <3 Jesus is the only way to heaven and true happiness.
@jesusgirly007 I apologize that you feel this message is evil. I hope you were able to see by my response to the original question, I'm not confusing our faith with Christianity. I would also like to point out that to simply say we beleive that we are God is an over simplification of our philosophy. We also are not in any way ignorant of "wrong", "doing wrong" or "Sin"... we beleive that Sin actually is defined as a "Mistake".
@jesusgirly007 I'm not challenging your beliefs, just inviting you to understand mine more clearly. To single out small facets of a religion or philosophy with out the context of it's entirety is not a very clear way to understand it. So... I would invite you to know more about ours, if for nothing else, to strengthen your own faith in your Christianity. I respect your philosophy completely and I appreciate you giving your input! :)
@rideorcrawl I have spent a lot of time (too much time) studying your beliefs to understand it more. Sure, it seems like a beautiful, caring, wonderful religion, but I consistently find many faults with it. And I have always found it to directly contradict the Bible and Christianity and what I believe and base my life around. If you understood Christianity, then you would understand why your belief is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
@sharmolloy I just met a member of your center this Sunday when I spoke in Apple Valley! I also have a dear friend that is a practitioner there. Thank you for sharing and keep the good work going up there!
@moonshineonme75013 Thank you for that! I think that the youth have a lot more to offer than some expect us too... and the youth of the future will have something new to bring to the world too. Glad that this video inspired something good in you. Thank you for sharing!
There are so many flaws with your belief system. The first being, where is the accountability? Do you believe in sin? What happens after you finish this life and pass away?
@jesusgirly007 Well... those are some big questions. I'm not sure that a comment section on youtube can really deliver a full answer here is what I can say... I respect your opinion as your own. I can tell right from wrong the same way anyone else does. There is an inner presence that already knows the Law of good and bad. The accountability is direct. Cause and Effect... very simple and direct.
I have no knowing of what happens when we pass away though I do believe in the eternality of the human soul. When we use the very thing that so beautifully guided Jesus, Love, then we find ourselves informed in every moment... Love is the highest calling according to pretty much all spiritual teachers and so that is what I choose to practice. Thank you for your comment! I appreciate you being willing to share your opinion.
@jgg59 Thank you so much! Honestly, I have some small errors and think it could be done much better... which is why I am working towards making a MUCH higher quality version of it... however that's not to diminish this one! Who knew this little video would go on to do so much good work!? Thank you so much for the compliment and much love to the CSL out there on the east coast! Have a pizza pie for me!!! :)
@marcolina21 I mean as in the ALL Spirit. In my philosophy there is no separate Trinity (Though I respect that belief in the faith of others). What I believe is in a "Triune Nature" of ONE. God is all of it... including all that I am,. all that you are and all that Love is.
I am an Interfaith Minister with New Thought understandings. Never before have I been able to capture my understandings of spiritual things as well as you have done in this video. Congratulations! You have done in 5 minutes what it has taken me a career to communicate. I am certain you have captured the voices of many who struggle to put into words that which is known by their hearts. Now these people can point to your video and say, "THIS is what I believe." On behalf of myself, and others, I
@tcfal Well your words are VERY touchinga and well received! I am glad that this video goes forth to continue to do great work! I know that as it continues to be shared it will continue to do good work as well so PLEASE feel free to share it. Ultimately I would like to "re-make" this video in a higher quality as well as make some additional videos so stay tuned for future projects! Thanks again and you keep doing good works yourself! :D
who's your savior and what kinda of God are you talking about? even Satan talk to Jesus in that way ! I think you are those kinda of ppl who don't believe in the Christ like Lord ! thanks for the video !
@IHEAVYPRINCE As I said in the video... I personally do not believe that I need a savior. I do not believe in God as a person or personality... but my philosophy allows me to respect those that do... like yourself. :) I think you are right in the idea that I do not believe in the Christ like Lord as a person or being... I believe in a Christ like Consciousness or "way of living". I hope that addresses your comment and thanks for your point of view! :)
I fully agree with you thank you for being honest and open. We are all vibrations of energy, all with a unique tone. Together we create the symphony called the universe.
Very good grounds into which many can relate in a broader sense; I like it and have been pondering over much of this for much of my rational life. However, one thing, I don't believe one can be God, only God like if one is conscious of God in one self. All things have the essence of God but not all things are God itself. We as human beings, we have an immense power of choice, that choice either makes us spiritual alive (connected consciously to God; or God unconscious, dead in spirit.)
@kryptonwolf Thanks for your comment! To clarify what I believe, I do think that we as human beings, as well as every other thing in existance, are indeed all God... we are only able to "experience" so much as we are able to accept and believe... so our awareness may vary, but the presence is always there and always complete and whole. :) Thanks for your perspective!
@rideorcrawl It would only be fare for everyone to know the spirit behind your project. If I may, I will be asking you a series of questions which I hope will be answered with complete honesty and peaceful manner. This is in hopes to bring to light and test the spirit that you present. We will start with the origins of your beliefs for everything has its seed and couldn't be more important than for the public to understand, if the fruits are ripe and worth taking bite, so be it.
@kryptonwolf I have to admit that your comment is both poetic and cryptic. I am not 100% sure what it is you are looking for but I will always do my best to respond to my comments. The roots of what I believe come from as far back as ancient Greece with the philosophers like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle (Predating Jesus by 400+ years or so).
@kryptonwolf Other notable and more contemporary contributors include Franz Mesmer, P.P. Quimby, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Even more so contemporary philosophers would include Emma Curtis Hopkins, Thomas Troward and of course Dr. Ernest Holmes. Also, the works of many well known philosophers and religious leaders are referenced such as Jesus, Mohammad, Moses and many more. I hope this answers your question.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!! This goes beyond religion, dogma, biases, and all other thought processes that say that God is separate for creation, and that unless you ascribe to the "right" belief system, you are out of communion with God. THANK YOU IN ABUNDANCE FOR THIS!!!!
@brentduanefoster Thank you so much! I have never said that anyone's religiosity is wrong... I have always maintained that this is MY belief and that at it's very foundation... it could serve any spiritualy practicing human being that i sseeking to deepen the "practice" of their religiosity! Thanks for the awesome comment!
You sort of opened it up for questions, and I am very curious to know a few things about your beliefs. It seems like you are calling God, what I would call "the Universe and natural law"(basically, Nature.), but then you go on to call it a presence. How is the Universe a presence, just "because it creates and is all things?" Thanks for the video.
@FranklinsLighthouse What I believe is that the very movement of all things (So yes, nature but also human beings and animals and the whole nine yards) is actually an expression of, and indeed are themselves, the very presence of what I personally call "God". So if it exists... it's God existing. I also believe that back of what we actually experience (The thing or person itself) that this Divine presence is omnipotent and omniscient.
@FranklinsLighthouse So it is the Universal presence of God (Mind of God) that is creating everything… and the things themselves are also God. So as far as “Universe and natural law” I believe that Law is determined and stuarded by that “Presence” that I spoke of and that I call God. I like to say that, “I am not the whole of God… but God is the whole of who/what I am” and that goes for every “I” there is… even goes for every “thing” too. Did that answer the question?
@rideorcrawl I may not have been too clear. Nature is everything that can be naturally explained. That includes people, animals, forces, anything that manifests in, and affects our Universe. In short, everything we know exists. That is what you are calling God. Yet you seem to be saying it has a mind and a will, that it is all seeing, and all knowing. My question is, how do you get from, "things and forces exist", to "therefore it's God, and it has a mind with such and such attributes?"
@FranklinsLighthouse Not sure a YouTube comment would cover that whole thing but sounds like we could have a pretty amazing conversation about it! The philosophy I abide by is called Religious Science or "The Science of Mind". It is based on a philosophy founded by Dr. Ernest Holmes who wrote “The Science of Mind Textbook” and would probably be your best “reference reading” to learn more about it.
@FranklinsLighthouse I’ll take a stab at it though… What Dr. Holmes did was take the works of many metaphysicians, scientists, psychologists and other contributors as well as religious texts and influences like Judeo Christianity, Eastern Philosophy and even ancient Greek philosophy and then began to actually work with those concepts and ideas using a “Scientific” process.
@FranklinsLighthouse I know these things are true because like other “Natural Laws” I have found that the “Spiritual Laws” that I have worked with work the same way. I apply them and have a direct and measurable outcome. The only way to make the conclusion I am making is simple… I experiment with it until I prove it to myself (or disprove it). No one can prove it for anyone else… it is a matter of self realization, discovery and faith. I feel that hardly covers it at all but maybe helps?
@FranklinsLighthouse Just to be clear, I am not claiming to “Have the Answer” and I don’t require anyone else to be “wrong” in order for my belief to be “right”. This is a philosophy that guides me using principles. The good news? It allows me to honor all paths (though I do walk my path and walk it clearly). The BETTER news is that these principles are things that all of humanity as a whole would probably love to experience more of and can be applied to compliment any religiosity or philosophy.
when we are born DMT is usedd in our brainnn, when we dream, and when we die DMT is used for the last time. maybe dreams connect the realms of this physical life and the realm of `higher frequency``( i think of it as xrays n microwaves lol) that we come from and will go back to. if you have bad dreams your mind is telling your soul that you are not at peace, something is bothering you. maybe when you die you are stuck in that dream, then to get to `heaven`` one must be at peace
@rideorcrawl i love this video xD it makes sens to me and it is also what i feel. by ``heaven`` i mean ultimate peace, i think when someone dies who is not at peace with themselves that that is not good =S. and i belivee that spiritual energy is used when we are born n dream n die alongside with the physical energy of DMT(something like that lol), they work together haha kind weirdd i knowww lol.. wud explain psycadelics lol =p, do you belive we simplyy are bornn and simplyy die orr somethingg
@HippieJebidiah I am nto femiliar with DMT. I study Religiouse Science (AKA Science of Mind) by Dr. Ernest Holmes. We believe in the "eternality of the Human soul" but we have no claim in knowing from where it came (other than the one source, God) and where it moves to once our boddies pass/die. But we do believe the Soul goes on. Hope that helps a little. :)
Thank you so much (and I know I speak for many of my Unity friends) for this video. It explains so well what I have known for twenty-five years, before I even knew there was ANYONE in the world who felt the same way I did.

I would LOVE to share this, but I know that even a couple of misspelled words ("spritual" (2:54) law -- and "reflecion" at 3:55) will keep many from actually hearing the message.
It is beautiful, but can it be "fixed" so there is nothing to detract from the central message? I need that before I can forward it to others.
@AJinNorthTexas Thank you for bringing those to my attention!!! I will work to correct them ASAP and maybe I can re-upload the video at that time. I worry that the link to this one has spread so much that it would be confusing to have 2 floating around out there but I hear you completely. Once I have the corrected version uploaded I will post the link (and for you, send it in a message) Thank you again! :)
@rideorcrawl Thanks, and I totally understand about "Hmm, what will this mess up if I bring down the old one?" kinds of questions. Great video, though, and I really want to share it, so thank you if you can create a new one. It was close to perfect.
This is a very interesting video. I enjoyed hearing your unique perspective but I have a few questions. If god is everything and everything is god, then why call him god? Does this "presence that you choose to call god" play an active role in the daily lives of people? Do you worship this god?
@DazedConfused989 In this context... God is not a person, so the idea of a "personality" doesn't really apply. I do indeed believe that this presence is not only an active part of the daily lives of people but is itself the people and the activity in and of every day. I wouldn't say I "worship" this God... I acknowledge that this God is all that I am but that I am not all of God. This means I choose to live my life as a constant interaction of the divine with the divine.
@DazedConfused989 Thank you so much for such great questions. I know this forum (responses to a video comment section) can't capture the full idea but I hopoe that my answers helped clarify things a little bit. Feel free (and this goes out to everyone really) to ask me questions and as soon as I am able to respond to them I will do my best to do so! :) THANKS AGAIN!
@DazedConfused989 Why call him God? That to me is a clear example of how our language limits us. I use words like spirit, universe... God interchangeably. Using "him" is also personifying God... when God / spirit is. The connection with God for me is the connection to the spirit part of me. Knowing this part of myself lowers the fear / big questions that can't be answered but by my spirit self. Some people use worship, but again, that word can have different meanings.. for me worship
@goteamsharp Just as you say calling this force God is limiting, so is your mental image of God limiting. By attaching any mental image to It, regardless of what name we use, is limiting.
@goteamsharp Just as you say calling this force God is limiting, couldn't it be said that your attachment to whatever you believe God to be also limiting? Just as the author of this movie said "there is no ultimate authority on the subject but me....my view of god is not that of a person or personality, my philosophy allows me to accept that this may be true for others"
Dear Brian... I really appriciate your video! I was almost moved to tears when i watch it. Its so refreshing to know that alot more people are coming to the knowledge of spiritual living and experiencing the freedom of love! Thanks again....!
@bvoice85 Thank you so much!!!! I am so glad you enjoyed it and hope you share it with all kinds of great new people.... even those who may not have any idea what it is yet ;)
Brian: This is an excellent video. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and for sharing your enthusiasm with our Center. We truly appreciate you and your message. From The Hi Desert Center for Spiritual Living and its members. Joan, Cindy, Sue, Velma, Steve, and others.....you are truly awesome!

I'm Christian, and my sisters friend showed me this. I'm 13 so I don't have a lot of understanding still, of what this is, because I've been Christian all my life. So is spiritual living, basically just believing in god, and other stuff. Is it like Christianity?
Mistylove231 5 months ago
@Mistylove231 While it is often classified as a Christian faith I don't know a single Christian that would say we are. The best way to get an idea of what we believe specifically is to read the Science of Mind Textbook or go to a local church... but what I can tell you is that for those Christians who believe that Jesus taught us the gospel of Love... we are closer than you may think!
rideorcrawl 4 months ago
@Mistylove231 No sweetheart, This is NOT Christian. It is very different. It is evil. Jesus says in the Bible "I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes through the father except through me." These people think they are God. That is not okay. They believe everyone and everything is God and that there is no such thing as "sin" or doing anything wrong. If you have questions please contact me, I would love to talk to you. <3 Jesus is the only way to heaven and true happiness.

@jesusgirly007 I apologize that you feel this message is evil. I hope you were able to see by my response to the original question, I'm not confusing our faith with Christianity. I would also like to point out that to simply say we beleive that we are God is an over simplification of our philosophy. We also are not in any way ignorant of "wrong", "doing wrong" or "Sin"... we beleive that Sin actually is defined as a "Mistake".

@jesusgirly007 I'm not challenging your beliefs, just inviting you to understand mine more clearly. To single out small facets of a religion or philosophy with out the context of it's entirety is not a very clear way to understand it. So... I would invite you to know more about ours, if for nothing else, to strengthen your own faith in your Christianity. I respect your philosophy completely and I appreciate you giving your input! :)
rideorcrawl 4 months ago
@rideorcrawl I have spent a lot of time (too much time) studying your beliefs to understand it more. Sure, it seems like a beautiful, caring, wonderful religion, but I consistently find many faults with it. And I have always found it to directly contradict the Bible and Christianity and what I believe and base my life around. If you understood Christianity, then you would understand why your belief is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

There are so many flaws with your belief system. The first being, where is the accountability? Do you believe in sin? What happens after you finish this life and pass away?
jesusgirly007 6 months ago
@jesusgirly007 Well... those are some big questions. I'm not sure that a comment section on youtube can really deliver a full answer here is what I can say... I respect your opinion as your own. I can tell right from wrong the same way anyone else does. There is an inner presence that already knows the Law of good and bad. The accountability is direct. Cause and Effect... very simple and direct.
rideorcrawl 5 months ago
I have no knowing of what happens when we pass away though I do believe in the eternality of the human soul. When we use the very thing that so beautifully guided Jesus, Love, then we find ourselves informed in every moment... Love is the highest calling according to pretty much all spiritual teachers and so that is what I choose to practice. Thank you for your comment! I appreciate you being willing to share your opinion.

Very good grounds into which many can relate in a broader sense; I like it and have been pondering over much of this for much of my rational life. However, one thing, I don't believe one can be God, only God like if one is conscious of God in one self. All things have the essence of God but not all things are God itself. We as human beings, we have an immense power of choice, that choice either makes us spiritual alive (connected consciously to God; or God unconscious, dead in spirit.)
kryptonwolf 10 months ago 2
@kryptonwolf Thanks for your comment! To clarify what I believe, I do think that we as human beings, as well as every other thing in existance, are indeed all God... we are only able to "experience" so much as we are able to accept and believe... so our awareness may vary, but the presence is always there and always complete and whole. :) Thanks for your perspective!

@kryptonwolf I have to admit that your comment is both poetic and cryptic. I am not 100% sure what it is you are looking for but I will always do my best to respond to my comments. The roots of what I believe come from as far back as ancient Greece with the philosophers like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle (Predating Jesus by 400+ years or so).
rideorcrawl 10 months ago
@kryptonwolf Other notable and more contemporary contributors include Franz Mesmer, P.P. Quimby, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Even more so contemporary philosophers would include Emma Curtis Hopkins, Thomas Troward and of course Dr. Ernest Holmes. Also, the works of many well known philosophers and religious leaders are referenced such as Jesus, Mohammad, Moses and many more. I hope this answers your question.

rideorcrawl 11 months ago
You sort of opened it up for questions, and I am very curious to know a few things about your beliefs. It seems like you are calling God, what I would call "the Universe and natural law"(basically, Nature.), but then you go on to call it a presence. How is the Universe a presence, just "because it creates and is all things?" Thanks for the video.
FranklinsLighthouse 11 months ago
@FranklinsLighthouse What I believe is that the very movement of all things (So yes, nature but also human beings and animals and the whole nine yards) is actually an expression of, and indeed are themselves, the very presence of what I personally call "God". So if it exists... it's God existing. I also believe that back of what we actually experience (The thing or person itself) that this Divine presence is omnipotent and omniscient.
rideorcrawl 11 months ago
@FranklinsLighthouse So it is the Universal presence of God (Mind of God) that is creating everything… and the things themselves are also God. So as far as “Universe and natural law” I believe that Law is determined and stuarded by that “Presence” that I spoke of and that I call God. I like to say that, “I am not the whole of God… but God is the whole of who/what I am” and that goes for every “I” there is… even goes for every “thing” too. Did that answer the question?
rideorcrawl 11 months ago
@rideorcrawl I may not have been too clear. Nature is everything that can be naturally explained. That includes people, animals, forces, anything that manifests in, and affects our Universe. In short, everything we know exists. That is what you are calling God. Yet you seem to be saying it has a mind and a will, that it is all seeing, and all knowing. My question is, how do you get from, "things and forces exist", to "therefore it's God, and it has a mind with such and such attributes?"
FranklinsLighthouse 11 months ago
@FranklinsLighthouse Not sure a YouTube comment would cover that whole thing but sounds like we could have a pretty amazing conversation about it! The philosophy I abide by is called Religious Science or "The Science of Mind". It is based on a philosophy founded by Dr. Ernest Holmes who wrote “The Science of Mind Textbook” and would probably be your best “reference reading” to learn more about it.
rideorcrawl 11 months ago
@FranklinsLighthouse I’ll take a stab at it though… What Dr. Holmes did was take the works of many metaphysicians, scientists, psychologists and other contributors as well as religious texts and influences like Judeo Christianity, Eastern Philosophy and even ancient Greek philosophy and then began to actually work with those concepts and ideas using a “Scientific” process.
rideorcrawl 11 months ago
@FranklinsLighthouse I know these things are true because like other “Natural Laws” I have found that the “Spiritual Laws” that I have worked with work the same way. I apply them and have a direct and measurable outcome. The only way to make the conclusion I am making is simple… I experiment with it until I prove it to myself (or disprove it). No one can prove it for anyone else… it is a matter of self realization, discovery and faith. I feel that hardly covers it at all but maybe helps?
rideorcrawl 11 months ago
@FranklinsLighthouse Just to be clear, I am not claiming to “Have the Answer” and I don’t require anyone else to be “wrong” in order for my belief to be “right”. This is a philosophy that guides me using principles. The good news? It allows me to honor all paths (though I do walk my path and walk it clearly). The BETTER news is that these principles are things that all of humanity as a whole would probably love to experience more of and can be applied to compliment any religiosity or philosophy.

when we are born DMT is usedd in our brainnn, when we dream, and when we die DMT is used for the last time. maybe dreams connect the realms of this physical life and the realm of `higher frequency``( i think of it as xrays n microwaves lol) that we come from and will go back to. if you have bad dreams your mind is telling your soul that you are not at peace, something is bothering you. maybe when you die you are stuck in that dream, then to get to `heaven`` one must be at peace

@HippieJebidiah I am nto femiliar with DMT. I study Religiouse Science (AKA Science of Mind) by Dr. Ernest Holmes.

But we do believe the Soul goes on. Hope that helps a little. :)

This is a very interesting video. I enjoyed hearing your unique perspective but I have a few questions. If god is everything and everything is god, then why call him god? Does this "presence that you choose to call god" play an active role in the daily lives of people? Do you worship this god?
DazedConfused989 1 year ago
@DazedConfused989 In this context... God is not a person, so the idea of a "personality" doesn't really apply. I do indeed believe that this presence is not only an active part of the daily lives of people but is itself the people and the activity in and of every day. I wouldn't say I "worship" this God... I acknowledge that this God is all that I am but that I am not all of God. This means I choose to live my life as a constant interaction of the divine with the divine.
rideorcrawl 1 year ago 4
@DazedConfused989 Thank you so much for such great questions. I know this forum (responses to a video comment section) can't capture the full idea but I hopoe that my answers helped clarify things a little bit. Feel free (and this goes out to everyone really) to ask me questions and as soon as I am able to respond to them I will do my best to do so! :) THANKS AGAIN!
rideorcrawl 1 year ago 2
@DazedConfused989 Why call him God? That to me is a clear example of how our language limits us. I use words like spirit, universe... God interchangeably. Using "him" is also personifying God... when God / spirit is. The connection with God for me is the connection to the spirit part of me. Knowing this part of myself lowers the fear / big questions that can't be answered but by my spirit self. Some people use worship, but again, that word can have different meanings.. for me worship
