Rebirth in Old Norse Religion

[@moodypoetsociety]

after my brother died, I took his name - now, I have some of the same speech patterns as him and a much better execution of art (which he was a really amazing artist) even all of my family sees those traits in me. Its nice to hear the spiritual logic behind it all

[@justinsmet]

I've been heathen now for 13 years and I'm proud to have people like you and those that follow our way the right way and not use it for ideologies like racism ect.

[@Entererofthethreshold]

@895415184 Whatever it's origins (and it almost certainly is not Karl Marx), racism is an appropriate word for those who think that skin color defines character or essential self. Such a view largely comes out of Christian worldview (i.e. the notion of a chosen ethnic group). It's clear that our deep pre Christian ancestors largely did not have views like this, practices like interbreeding with non local populations and fostering are just two examples of this. Do yourself a favor and look up what a "a natural fallacy" is, and why it's illogical, and why it almost certainly points to cognitive bias on your part.

[@Entererofthethreshold]

@895415184 Racism only goes beyind the skin for racists. You seem to completely miss what the naturalistic fallacy is, because pretty much your entire argument hinges on it. Just because "in group preference" happens to occur in cultures, it doesn't at all follow that such a thing is either good or right simply becuase it "naturally" occurs. Human sacrifice also has "naturally occured". Is this a good thing? Further, 'in group preference' itself does not even have to have anything to do with 'race', as the two are exclusive of one another. In other words, in group can be defined in cultural ways (beliefs, values, practices, language), and thus have really nothing at all to do with race. We can assume that most of our Indo European ancestors actually defined in group according to culture and not race. Agwin, interbreeding is just one major example of this. Finally, in group and out group are cultural concepts, coming out of sociology, anthropology and psychology, and are thus academic terms. I dare you to find me one peer reviewed article by an actual researcher that indicates that racism is either a psychological healthy state, or a sociologically healthy state. I predict your retort (being that you are a standard default racist troll) will have something to do with all academics being Marxists or some conspiracy drivel. Let me nip that in the bud right now and remind you that it was you who appealed to academic concepts in order to make your illogical biases have a veneer of rationality. They don't.

[@solank7620]

Chris Ames In group preference wins. Your entire understanding of morality is irrational. In group preference among Europeans has been under attack for generations for the most evil agenda in human history. To dispossess them and miscegenate them. These hypocritical double standards, where certain groups can have in group preference and others can’t, is perverse and morally indefensible. “Racism” - ethnocentrism - is not a pathology. A lack of “racism” is a pathology. The cultural Marxists call healthy natural morals pathological, and push stupid inverse pathological morals as healthy, for nefarious purposes. You are defending the opposite morals that a person should have. People shouldn’t be criticized and punished for “racism”, but for lack of loyalty to their people. That’s what should be punished. All our stories and myths are about how loyalty to and sacrifice for your people is good and the noblest of things, and disloyalty is bad. There’s a reason for this. Morality is *not* arbitrary. Groups with better morals will survive, groups with inferior morals will be conquered and die. The two greatest competitive advantages for any group are patriarchy (family values), and ethnocentrism. The healthiest, happiest societies will try to celebrate these things as much as possible.

[@solank7620]

895415184 His intellectual hogwash is actually of course completely anti-intellectual. He actually had the nerve to call you a “racist troll”, while talking of “illogical biases”. A reality denying anti-racist dogmatic cultist, having the nerve to talk of the “illogical biases” of others. These people are absolutely shameless when it comes to projection. Completely shameless. Their morals cannot possibly be on the “right side of history”, as they are totally maladaptive and suicidal. But they are not capable of critical thinking. They are totally dogmatic, and lost to reason. It seems almost impossible to reach these people with logic. Never in history have people been so dogmatic and morally aggressive defending such bizarrely backwards morals. Their own ancestors would find these people to be crazy. We’re the good guys, they’re the bad guys. But they cannot process this.

[@justinsmet]

The reason I say this is because historically speaking the germanic tribes are the most diverse genetically around the world. Also look at all of the diffrent class system they had wasnt till the eastern religions got involved that hate against skin color became. I have not problem with one wanting to be with ones own culture I'm a Heathen but as long as you have respect and loyalty I'm willing to give anyone the benifet of doubt to trust someone till they break that trust.

Excellent! I summarized many of these concepts while speaking with two women who visited me last week. They were Jehova's Witnesses. One of them was half African and half European, and she had been born in Zimbabwe. I think my words awakened something in her Dutch Boer blood memory, because she wanted to stay and talk with me longer. The other woman seemed very annoyed at her curiosity. LOL.

Quite certain that she didn't choose to be born into her ancestry, and all the bigotry directed at her from both the blacks and the whites. You didn't meet her, and are very wrong to suppose she is appropriating anyone's culture.

[@Tru3n0mad]

Upcycle.Outdoorsman Your insults do not change the facts. Your feelings do not matter, the point remains that she is not and will never be a European. They are our Gods and our stories. It is no different to how a person like you would react to a White man dressed in traditional African clothes and dancing around their fire while claiming their gods as his own. You would use the very same insults you use against me to describe him and that is your hypocrisy.

I'm always amazed how much of this history/ beliefs came down my family line despite our integration in to the american society since the pilgrims. I wonder if my families dogged atheism (but atheism is kind of a misnomer) ( I'm the 5th generation my count) helped to preserve these beliefs.

[@briaincampbellmacart6024]

Hallo Arith, Thank you once again for a exceptionally interesting video. I have given a great deal of thought to the concept of 'the spirit' and in especial to the idea that the spirit is indestructible. To me the idea that the spirit is indestructible implies that it is constituted of particles that are irreducible. I imagine a particle so small that it could pass between the atoms of a concrete wall like a golf ball could drift between the planets of outer space. I call them the 'first fundamentals', ie the first and most fundamental particles ever to have existed. When these particles are arranged in such a way as is supportive of consciousness and is facilitative of the expression and direction of power I refer to them as being 'spirit particles' This, of course, is a materialistic view of the spirit. For me the spirit is not ethereal - as I have heard so many Chrstianss say - but it is material in nature, existing beyond the reach of our most powerful of microscopes yet at a point where it can theoretically be grafted onto reality. How many spirit particles are present in a God or a man or a bear, of course, I have no idea whatsoever. Nor do I have any ideas as to what kind d of area a diembodiied' spiritual entity of one kind or another might occupy. Yet it seems to me that since these most fundamental of particles are present in all things; constitute the megin of all things that without them nothing could exist. So for me the spirit is irreducible because no particle is smaller or more fundamental that what the spirit is comprised of.. It cannot be destroyed by the burial mound and nor can it be destroyed by fire. This us just a personal view, of course,. It is a tenet of personal religious faith that I believe enables me to have a faith that is life affirming and very much fluid with science. I do hope that you dont mind me sharing these ideas with you. My Respects & Good Wishes Campbell-Hart

[@briaincampbellmacart6024]

Hallo Arith, Do you think that the idea that one can inherit an aspect of a person's spirit - like one might inherit an eye colour or the shape of a forebear's nose - for example - very much implies that the spirit is ultimately physical in nature and tends to accompany the body (although acceptably it might not always)?

[@gripp8572]

[@hoppermantis7615]

Lots of Ancients aware of the struggle. Some even had their Tribes name meaning "Human Beings" And ceremonies for adulthood to choose. Some even were ostrichsized. .............. Who is those, them & they in the back? It's the struggle. Documented in history and secret societies. Pushing ideaoligies that define our future. INFILTRATING CONQUEST THROUGH MANHANDLING, REQUIRED GUIDANCE , ANTI NATURAL SELECTION, DECISIONS OF EMOTIONS WITH VANITY. FORCED APPEASAL TO SOCIAL JUSTICE AND NEUTRALITY, AND PEACE AT ALL COST ...including prostrations. While being dependant with emotional safety for unity as legion. VERSUS ALLURING RENAISSANCE, CIVILITY, FREEWILL WITHIN A BALANCE, INGENUITY AND CODE OF CONDUCT. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PERCEPTIONS WITH A DISTINCTION BETWEEN HUMAN ANIMALS AND BEINGS. PEACE WITH STRENGTH.. while all parties stand tall. While being independent with compassion to kindred for unity as Tribal. The struggle is real. The dark consciousness is the real cause. Laugh all you want. But it fits the world view puzzle. All the way back to sumarian tablets. It's like two parents arguing and trying to get the child to choose. With the dark feeding us things such as WE ARE ONLY HUMAN... WE ARE THE SAME , We are victims and fighting back as a Samaritan is evil and vigilantism. Everyone's voice matters beyond concideration... BS. The core thought IS being a distinction between human animals and human beings: CHOOSE.

[@sebastienmorgan9089]

Hello friend, thanks for this amazing video as always. So, if I understand well, for the norse animistic spirituality, when we died, we "split" in all sort of energies. Those energies survive in a way or another in this world. But you said at the end "we were always there" so what about you before ? Where are we come from ? Is those energies stick together at some point to form the soul of a new born ? I wonder...?

[@sevenis9712]

That is a different spin on rebirth vs reincarnation etc. super interesting. I love the ending comment that it’s not necessarily why we keep keep returning but maybe it’s that we never left. The piss part was cute. 🥰

[@t.r.everstone7]

I'm fuzzy on some concepts, so I'd appreciate if anyone knows how to answer. If the spirit has "parts" that can go to different places, what exactly are things like Draugrs? Are they "entire" spirits in all their parts, or are they lacking a part of the spirit that a living person has? Does dying necessarily break the spirit into its parts and distribute it where appropriate? Does the breakdown of the body force the separation if the parts of the spirit? And if one's hamingja goes to another person, and any other parts of the spirit go to other places, then what part would have been getting into Valhal? Are Valhal and other afterlife "locations" just the products of Christian corruption of beliefs? Are they metaphors for death? What might I be missing?

[@genecartee1235]

If you get embalmed and the coffin is put in a vault in the ground, can you still be reincarnated? Please, I've searched everywhere and I've found no answers.

[@torstenscott7571]

In regards to objects having megin released upon destruction, I have a question. Would the "intent" of the person shaping the material into a useful object have an effect on the spiritual nature/essence of the object? For instance, someone creates a nice soup bowl, and the intended purpose behind the construction effects it's spiritual nature alongside the physical. Just wondering.

[@JGofBEWA]

Great video. I have a question. I have read that the grave is the gateway to Hel and that grave site reveal tools for a life very much like this one. I have also read that the world of Hel is also like this one. So is this not a reference to reincarnation any we are living in Hel?

[@BaltimoresBerzerker]

Sounds like a spiritual way of expressing the concept of genetic inheritance of traits from your ancestors. You inherit through the spirit rather than or along with the blood; personality traits, mannerisms, etc. Clearly this is my first impression through the eyes of a modern faithless person of course. More of an academic analysis I suppose? Or is that interpretation valid if not central?
