Thank you for sharing your perspective -- it's helpful

I enjoyed this video... the flow was ok for me to follow in helpful way

Thank you for this.

When you use the terms natural and Supernatural I'm really hurting for a definition of terms.

Okay, when you said using the Bible without being christian, actually I kind of laughed, brother, you have every right to use the bible, those that hurt you the most abused you buy misusing the bible, so you have a right to look at that book, I've been looking at a long time and I had something I wanted to talk to you about and a lot of things I'd like to say I don't have time right now but you have every right to do what you're doing Mrs voice to text I'm piecing my car together right now enjoying the conversation.

Hi there I was listening to your story while walking through a factory at my part time job. I am sorry for all the craziness you’ve had to endure. For me the hardest thing to endure here is the coldness of others and some form of loneliness. It is truly hard to walk in other people’s shoes though but I try to , when I have emotional strength, help those whom I can. I just wanted to recommend a video I watched two days ago on KZbin. The title is I See Angels and Demons, Michael & The Seer Blake Healy. It helped me a little bit to push through, and I would be curious what your thoughts would be on it, from your life perspective. Wishing you well, thank you for sharing what you’ve been through

I agree that indirect language is an indication that either the person is up to something or they are muddled up themselves. In my opinion there are no good arguments for God outside of personal experience. God is an idea that must be accepted by faith. Arguing you have a proof for God only drives genuine seekers away because all external or logical arguments for God are ultimately illogical or the conclusion does not follow. That puts God himself at odds with the idea of truth and reason, which God should be in alignment with. If someone is to believe in God they have to take that up by faith. Any other way is dishonest and already at odds with the highest ideal. In my opinion apologetics is therefore against God and a form of evil.

Typically the phrase "double negative" refers to a case where two negations are applied to the same statement. For example, I don't have no apples. A construction of the form "If not A then not B" is not that.

Prayers are always answered. Yes, no, and wait. Believe what you want, I’m going to. Life is not easy, it’s blistering at times. I have survived intestinal issues that lead to a colostomy bag, thank God it was able to be reversed. I suffered a Ischemic stroke in my left MCA, thank God it didn’t affect my motor skills, leaving me with acute aphasia that has become almost impossible to notice. I was told I should not have been in the shape I was in because it took me 28 hours to get to a hospital after the stroke had taken place. After they gave me a clot buster I could speak and read again. They were almost not going to issue the clot buster because it had been over 3 hours since the stroke has taken place. One doctor said he would push the clot buster and hope for the best, it worked. My hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ, and I can’t believe in anything else. God bless….

The issue boils down to moral realism and how to best account for it. Maybe Wielenberg’s normative realism? or a modified DCT?

Ack! I cannot find your email address!

I was given 50 lashes...I identified with "Jesus"

Tragic loss-I believed the bible were actual words from God-my life was stolen. When your life is threatened as a child you turn to a magical God to fix it...now I have CPTSD in my senior years

Your videos are helping me heal my past ... surrendering what was by accepting it happened as it did with lessons to extract to carry forward instead of the burdening past memories-- your way of talking about the inner dialogue is helpful in learning about becoming an observer of the dialogue... thank you

Thank you for telling your story. I'm so glad you forgave your mom. It is SO important. God is good but people mess up all the time❤❤❤

32:00 Thank you. I may have been on that other planet. That is where the Pharisees lived -unaware of who Jesus was and that he came to heal the sick. He came to heal the broken people. I think those aliens simply believe that everything would have been better if such and such happenned or if someone said such and such. No, I think we live in a fallen world where we experience hell (some more than others), but if we do let go and forgive, we too can share in Christ's light. Jesus conquered hell and death. Those aliens on that other planet forget that the Truth is a person, Jesus Christ. It is in that caring and love of another (especially in need) where we participate in Christ's life. Love is such a divine spirit which we can let in and let out, but only when we are humble to realize that we are not the source of understanding or love. It is God who brings forth all life and love radiates from his eternal (uncreated) light. Amen, brother. I will try to return from that other planet and be more as Christ wills it to be.

You give companionship and a calm harbour to those whose story share similarities with yours. Bless you for your courage, intelligence and tenacity.

You decided that abuse has to stop somewhere. Proud of you for keeping the Bible and looking at your childhood as a learning adventure so to speak. Such a beautiful view point. Love that and praying for you.

You do a great job at conveying your story. It was very raw and honest and real. So many people have similar life stories of tragedy, loss and pain. Sometimes just hearing someone else’s story is comforting to know there are other people who suffer too, but survive, grow and overcome, and maybe even really find their way into a real relationship with their creator, and finally make peace with knowing that he does love us, and he works mysteriously in our lives even if it doesn’t feel like it in the midst of the storm. His ways are higher than our ways. He knows the end from the beginning. I couldn’t surmise if you arrived at that belief in your own life, but I do believe that He has Larry and it’s glorious there, and I believe you will join him in time. Thanks for sharing. Godspeed.

I'm so sorry!

dear Daniel, your story brought me to tears. you are a very good narrator by the way. no, its obvious you dont need an advice, you come up very clear minded, strong and at peace. i watched your video bc i wanted to find out how you found back to God. i am not christian but i am opened to every form of religious or non religious ppl. all religions are different languages to feel near to God. God sent me a neardeath experience when i was 17 without harming me physically or psychologically and He showed me in that neardeath experience the deeper meaning of suffering. several times He spoke to me in dreams with wonderful, loving answers. and yet the last year i got very angry seeing the tremendous ongoing suffering in gaza, the syrian prisoners got thru and some ppl around me. i am Gods bad student. God tried to show me so much and yet i am angry again. i know its alright for Him, He loves and accepts me anyway, but i want my innocent connection to Him back. i ask Him everyday: the most ppl in the world want to stop netanyahu and yet its like our voices dont count anything as a majority. i am not capable to watch the scenes from gaza and westbank anymore, i have nightmares of their stories and of the syrian freed prisoners. i am crying a lot.

Thank you.

The sincere desire to help another person is palpable - not the 1st time my eyes have leaked hearing from you Dan. What a great inquery from another listerner, and perfect approach to the quaundry of so many ppl. Wishing you many continued blessings Dan, luv ya brother. ps: And I'm only half way through the video ... peace to you and yours

Another double negative: “I don’t see god therefore he doesn’t exist.”

This link is to a great video, "10 shocking signs of religious delusion" from No nonsense spirituality. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3WwgnWrmL14pNE

"super natural was natural all along" can i steal this from you... kidding. TY for the video🙏

Thanks for being real.

❤️

Thank you for sharing 🙏

Thank You Dan, for making and posting this video to help us through the healing process of our past, and to understand the hidden knowledge, "yet always being there in plain sight".

Just finished listening to your video. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to do this! To me it made sense. I do understand how difficult of a question this is since everyone is coming from different situations. All so similar, yet so different. I guess I could say I'm at the point of digging through all those suppressed emotions, finding their origins. I guess if I'm being honest I was probably hoping there was a fast track. Although I do understand it's a process that goes on as long as we choose to continue growing. I do appreciate that you take into consideration how your words could effect peoples lives and don't just throw them around carelessly. So few people seem to fully understand how much damage words could cause. Thank you!

Also.. since I've heard you mention how strange it just sounds that certain words are repeated, I just cannot un-hear it now. I grew up with the bible and was taught how to just pay attention to the story, so I guess it makes sense why it never stood out.

I've been listening to your vids on and off, but i have definitely not watched your whole collection. That being said, how do you let go of your past experiences that are stuck deep? Also how do you know when you have let go? Forgive me if you have already addressed this question.

Hi Dan, I'm a Meyers Briggs INTJ-T looking for the way to re-write my subconscious from negative "jail" to positive "freedom" to get on with my life, without self-sabotaging my next month!!! Any thoughts or direction ?!?

I need coffee to get this comment out. Going to rewatch in the morning. Thanks for the video, lots of thoughs from this one!

My knowledge of Daoism extends to the reading Tao of Pooh and the Te of piglet.

When you talk about Christians feeling threatened I totally understand that feeling because I used to feel it, what I can say is that I overcame it because I have true faith, so I understand what everything is really all about, the idolatry of the book or the idolatry of Jesus will save no one, I don't care if you believe in the story of Jesus so much as whether I believe that Jesus will say to you I was hungry and you gave me meat I was thirsty and you gave me a drink I was naked and you clothed me in prison and you visited me etc.

Okay, I'm 18 minutes in and I'm really enjoying this, but what you are doing is actually exactly religion, certainly in the purest form which is looking after people's needs but also if you look up the etymology of that word. The word Religion has its roots in the idea of binding again or perhaps reading again but either way you're looking back and and recommitting. When you say it goes back to the Babylonians it goes back to every society everyone is trying to tune into the truth, Abraham was from Mesopotamia, his Customs were Mesopotamian look at the Covenant he made with God, all that walking between the pieces of Flesh what's that about? This is all voice to text because I'm outside trying to fix my CV axle and listening to your video when you talk about parents and stuff man that breaks my heart, my wife and I raised a daughter and seven sons, I love them all, as a father I know I have to walk this line between being the absolute Authority because they must obey me and also I do not want to provoke them to wrath and rebellion. I wish I had more time to refine my comment and say something more but I got to go back to work and I want to listen to the rest of the video.

Fantastic video, Dan. It seems that I'm at a point in my life where you may have been several years ago in terms of reading and researching esoteric type teachings. Lately you've covered the Emerald Tablets of Thoth and manifesting which are subjects I've been reading about the past year. Far more on manifesting than the Emerald Tablets (not the Emerald Tablet). You are and have been presenting a more grounded interpretation on these various materials and your videos have been a great resource in my own growth. Thank you for your work.

The thumbnail looks like a melted Citadel from ancient times . Below, the mudflood...

you are doing God's work and helping people like me who can't articulate such observations. less lonely. what a time to be alive the whole world at our fingertips yet no one to discuss such things with for growth not power. Bless you

@gnostocnative8931 i know what you mean when you say they refuse to see things when you point them out. Someone brought the subject of religion up to me the other day and I asked what was unknowing to me an offensive question and was in turn insulted for it. I wasnt trying to shit on his views and was being civil. My take is you can learn a little from everyone, some people just have too much vested emotional intrest and get really upset when confronted with new ideas

I think that the information age with the internet and everything is a great tool but at the same time is a big source of inhumanity when people use it for the wrong reasons. I think that it hinders critical thought because we dont have to remember things and people put too much trust in what they read on google or wiki pages. I think it was plato who said books made people dumb, i wonder what what he would say about the internet lol.

In some translations (Victor Mair) it's "the Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao the Tao that can be named is the mother of the ten rhousand things"

If you were to "so what" things away wouldn't that make things worse? Kind of like leaving it on the back burner until it boils over? Seems like leaving things unresolved will keep you stuck in an old mental framework. Personally for me, I found written exposure therapy helpful, which can be very uncomfortable to do, but for me it was necessary. I remember when I first started doing this in 2016 or so I was getting hit with nightmares and panic attacks, I was having breaks and things were emerging, which is a good thing. Mental road blocks were lifting. The plus side is being able to go back and look at the situations from a third party perspective so to speak and understand that I didn't know what was happening at that point in my life. You have to be able to name it to tame it. It's not just your perspective you have to consider though, forgiveness is a big part of it too I think. It sounds messed up but its sort of like you have to identify with whoever wronged you and try to understand their reasoning for doing what they did. Also I don't think you cant forgive if you are still hurting from whatever that event was for you. I say all this to say that once you start doing this shadow work, picking the weeds, that little voice gets louder and thoughts don't seem so foreign or fleeting anymore. Just a theory of mine but I think the fewer thoughts you have the higher quality they are, if that makes sense. It's like having a reeling mind robs your peace mind or obscures the issue, like garments. I don't think many people are responsible for their thoughts these days. I know I have days where I am more reactive and find myself in a mental conflict, probably due to nicotine or something. I'm not perfect but I try lol. Something you said towards the end reminds me of that Dinosaur Jr. Song "yeah we know" when he says "the less we see the more it grows, festering out of control" Thanks for the video Dan, I hope my comment makes sense to someone.

Were you ever a traditional Christian?

Nice melted building there

Can you teach us or direct us for manifesting something in our lives?Can we use our higherself for that and how?Is there anything about it that you maybe found in scriptures for all these years.Thanks in advance
