Andrew Klavan on speaking truth into modern culture

[@TheTribute410]

As I sit here, on my second drink, family against me for my newly found Christian Conservative values, wondering who I truly am and where do I go... I thank you, Andrew. And I thank God for this video of all things that could have appeared in my feed, to remind me that I’m not and haven’t been alone.

[@ChristopherLeBlancArtAndDesign]

I hope the best for you. I would just like to share that I've learned you cannot convince anyone to believe in God. In my experience, that usually will be met with stubborn denial or even heightened conflict. All we can do is set a good example for others to see. Live out your beliefs and let others see what kind of man you are. That'll do the talking for you.

"Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and the door will be opened".

[@jerryglenn5150]

You and your family members were each made in His image, the part that goes on when our bodies quit working. Our imperfect brains, with the input of our imperfect senses, help us relate to this imperfect world. I don't wonder who I am as much as what I need to be doing to best match His plans for me. An eternal place was made for me. Who do I need to become to best fit that place? Meanwhile, if there is something beyond this world, spiritual influence must exist, both good and the other. The only way I know to guard against the other is to ask for help from the Good and be willing to recognize and accept that help. Being drawn to this vid is one example. God knows what Robert Valenti needs, whether guidance, protection, forgiveness, comfort.... I will ask that He keeps on giving it. I have experienced enough responses from Him that I know prayer matters. No, we are never alone.

Wow, Andrew got it! He is a jew for Jesus, he is so blessed! Sometimes the rough road he had paid off. There are well over 20.000 jews for Jesus in Israel and growing. AWESOME! The Talmud volumes have hundreds of evil stuff said about Jesus, most faithful jews do not like Jesus and see us as second class, all non-jews. We are slowly coming together all over the world. Even ex-Muslims read the bible in Mecca with their Muslim clothing and the hidden bible. In Iran, you have underground Christian churches. These people have it so hard but are so brave whereas in the USA we have it great and have so many brainwashed young leftist communists. how sad .....

He is on the forefront of cracking the philosophical code we are living out in contemporary life, globally even (so long as westernism prevails as the model for development)-much as Nietzsche could outline the post modernist movement before it impacted world events. It’s a deep question that plagues every inquisitive mind, as to where we are headed in the future based on the actions we take today. Yet we deeply lack the equipment necessary to mentally process them, until now as we awaken to the orderly nature of truth and the notions used to discern it, based in what is as real as we can fathom. Because that’s the best we can possibly strive for and sometimes it takes a viewpoint so dissolved apart from the structures of status that what pathway ought to be taken is ultimately more clearly described. Language is our greatest weapon, Truth be told,

[@mariab.774]

I can't express HOW MUCH I ADMIRE this guy!!! After finding him on "The Daily Wire", I followed him for a while, always laughing at his clever jokes, and admiring his common sense. After reading his book, "The Great Good Thing", that admiration grew exponentially. He's honest, humble and clever. Wish many people would listen to him.

[@johnnyappleseed5029]

Yes, I agree. I had never heard of him until I happened upon the Klavan & Whittle segments on PJTV. I was struck by his intelligence, his gentlemanly demeanor and how his calming eloquent ying was such a nice balance to Bill Whittle's more bombastic yet equally intelligent yang. Now I know he's more than just another pretty face, he is a real man of real substance, fighting for what's good, decent and right about this world God entrusted to us.

[@TheWorldTeacher]

Marie Miller This is a brief explanation for "LIFE": Everything, both visible and invisible, is what most persons call "God". REAL God is Impersonal Absolute Nothingness (otherwise called "Tao", "The Great Spirit", "Brahman", "Pure Consciousness", "Eternal Awareness", “Independent Existence”, et cetera). God is One Reality but just as a knife cannot cut itself or fire cannot burn itself, God cannot know Himself (or at least EXPERIENCE Himself) and so has manifested this phenomenal universe within Himself. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness. Apparently, this phenomenal universe was "created" (within Consciousness) with the initial act (the so-called "Big Bang") and from that first deed, every action that has occurred has been a direct or indirect result of it. Therefore, each of us humans were the result of that initial manifestation. That is the real explanation for "karma" - everything was preordained from the initial spark (or to be more precise, preordained in ETERNITY). Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves is the result of two factors alone - our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning. Because we are temporarily residing within this dualistic universe, we experience both pleasure and pain. Suffering and pain are NOT synonymous. Suffering is due to a false sense of personal doership - the belief that one is a separate, independent author of one’s thoughts and deeds. There are five manifestations of suffering: 1. Guilt 2. Blame 3. Pride 4. Worry/Anxiety 5. Regrets about the past and expectations for the future/Attachment to outcomes These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above - that life is a series of happenings and NOT caused by the individual living beings. No living creature, including us humans, has individual free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded when he scribed "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." The human organism is simply a biological machine, comprised of the five gross material elements and three subtle material elements. So now that you understand life and why we are suffering here in this (supposedly) material universe, you are now able to be liberated from all forms of suffering, RIGHT? WRONG! It is imperative to find an authentic spiritual master to assist you to come to the above realization, by slowly undoing your past conditioning. Even if you follow a competent teacher, you may still not come to a full understanding of life, but if you are sincere, humble and dedicated, you will definitely find more peace in your daily life (all of which was DESTINED to occur, of course). Peace! 🙏 The World Teacher.

I listen to Mr Kalvan's show on KZbin most days, but this made me cry.

[@kanteannightmare]

That's how the journey is. If you talk to others you'll find they to felt lost until they noticed there are people who not only believe the same things, but state them with confidence, openly. You're suffering from a dissonance, the media and so many of your friends say one thing but you know it isn't true but they say it anyways and you begin to think there is something wrong with you. There isn't, just don't ever settle for not questioning what you've been told again even from people like Mr. Klavan.
