[@natashasuniversityoflife]

In our earthly reality, the dominance of the male archetype in the concept of God often leads to an imbalanced portrayal of power and beauty. It's as if our perception of divinity is distorted, mirroring the flaws and biases of our society. However, amidst this disparity, the clarity of the Goddess's name shines through, symbolizing a beacon of balance and harmony. Just as mathematics serves as the foundational framework upon which our understanding of reality is constructed, the concept of God aligns with this principle. God, in this context, provides the necessary substance or building blocks to complement the foundational structure of math. Math is the language of the universal truth and the blueprint upon which all existence is built. Mathematical truth can be used for good or bad and in between those two choices lies the principle of math. The principle of math remains there at a neutral position of neither good nor bad until our actions reflect upon it. We can use that truth to build something beautiful and lasting (Heaven) or something that is the opposite of that (Hell). Your personal truth is the meaning of life and not the foundation of life. Your existence can give meaning to life or take it away. The foundation of life is built on math, not God. The foundation of math is built on Truth. God is built on the same principle of math just as we are. The principle of math provides the necessary foundation of life and God provides the necessary substance also known as building blocks to build upon it. Without math, a good foundation those building blocks have no lasting foundation or no foundation at all. When something is built on a lie it's not meant to last, aka wages of sin is death. That is why when something is built on a bad foundation it's not meant to last, eventually, it will collapse and in most cases hurt like hell, to teach a painful lesson of not building or rebuilding your life on a lie, aka bad foundation. Do you know who you are? What do you see when you look in the mirror? What you see is called reflection. That means that you are a reflection. And what do you reflect? You reflect your consciousness, feelings, desires, actions and much more. And if you care about your appearance, reflection then you should care about your actions because those actions will reflect upon your true reflection. One day we will face the truth and we will have to live it. Please make sure that you can live with your actions because you will have to live with their reflection. Many of us when faced with the truth like true image would rather live a lie instead. Why? Well, because their true reflection is so ugly as a result of their ugly actions they would rather live a lie, false image than live with the consequences of their actions. Your image, reflection is like a home, a vessel for your mind, soul. What it means is that your reflection is built on the same principle as the house is. And we do not build houses on assumptions or beliefs we build them on mathematical truth. What can happen if a house or any other structure is built on a lie, bad foundation? Well, that house or that structure is not meant to last and it will collapse. And what can happen to those who live in that structure? For example, they can become homeless. You can become a ghost if you don't have a reflection aka vessel, body (home) for your mind, soul. Don't forget, that those who walk away from the truth are walking into hell. How long does anyone need to be in hell or hell-like situations? Well, that depends on each individual. Eventually, they will get tired of pain, suffering, building or rebuilding their lives on a bad foundation and eventually, they will seek the truth instead of walking away from it. How do you know if you have suffered enough? Well, do you like to suffer? If you don't like suffering then you shouldn't contribute to suffering or feed on the suffering in any way or form. That is why I became vegan. If someone tells us that they do not like suffering and yet they choose to feed on the suffering of animals or others, shows that they do like suffering otherwise they would not do it and if they do like suffering so much then they should not complain about it, instead they should embrace it with open arms ✝. If you would like to see the true reflection of life and those who are part of it before it’s unveiled, I suggest that you study the truth. The better your knowledge and understanding of truth is the clearer your vision will become.

I've been finally enjoying my life now that I've learned to enjoy living life on my own terms, striving for my goals at my own pace. I used to worry about getting older and not reaching traditional societal milestones like my friends and family. I'm in my mid-30's, no longer in a relationship, don't have the white picket fence house, and work as a regular office worker. But I'm not in debt, don't deal with drama, and just pursue my hobbies -- fitness, art, video games, reading philosophy -- in my free time. I walk my own path at my own pace, but I, for the most part, have peace. Love your message, man. Keep it going.

School is *NOT* about learning the "subjects" that are taught. School is about learning to defer to authority...to be where you are told to be when you are told to be there. It's about seeking external approval - grades. Are you "worthy", do you "measure up"? That mindset is ingrained in a subtle but powerful way, but it certainly creates a world of sheep, just like those in power love.

That's why out of everything in this video I agreed with, I respectfully disagree with his view on the education system. Although it is currently extremely flawed, I think that basic education is still a necessity and always will be, it's just that since the 1990s, and this is a long-time proven fact and it only gets more and more right as time passes, education is dying in this country because culture is dying. The mass illegal immigration is in fact going to be a detriment of this country, and it is one of the reasons it has significantly changed my life path. No politics, that is just a genuine fact. We have no official language, no border laws right now restricting the passage of illegals, we are effectively a lawless nation right now in the United States.

I can definitely relate to what you’re saying in this video. At first I thought something was wrong with me because everyone was "moving up" in life, getting married and all that and I was still stuck living like a teenager, but eventually I realized that I wasn’t stuck, I was just on my own path. I don’t want to get married and do all the things everyone else does, I just want to do what makes me happy and fulfilled. I want my life to be an adventure, not a monotonous experience where I end up turning into a worker drone that just lives to work and never enjoy myself. Even if that means I’ll be less desirable to women, even if it means I’ll have less money, and even if it means I won’t be seen as cool by society, the most important thing is that I’m doing me.

[@JM-yd9sm]

The writer Charles Bukowski said people often end up living meaningless lives and just do what everyone else does; they make getting married and having kids seem like a victory, because they HAVE to do it because they can’t think of anything else to do.

Wow, Daon! I wish I had seen this video when I was in high school. I am a 60-year-old white woman who graduated with a masters degree in 1988. I put myself through college with no money from my parents. They didn’t have it to give. I then immediately married too young because I believed that was the “next move.” I did not pay off my student loans and other debt until I was 44. I had no clue how things worked, even after my education (which was NOT in business, economics or finance). The internet and mass media as we know it did not exist. I course-corrected throughout my life by trial & error. You are wise beyond your years. Please continue to mentor.

This resonates. I'm 59 with a similar experience. Had to learn everything by trial & error.

They are both married to good people. They have jobs they enjoy and own homes they can afford. They also actively work in making this country and our world better for all. What more could a person want? THIS, to me, is success. Maybe you could find a way to guide & mentor, as well? Teach from what you’ve learned. It might help you feel better. Just a thought.

We're a tribalistic species, for both good and bad, and those who are outliers (myself included) can often feel like a fish out of water as the currents of life carry on with or without us. But, I will always prefer to be true to myself rather than follow the herd. The thing with conformity is that, sooner or later, you must sacrifice your own authenticity, and that is something that I will never do. I listen to the internal "voice" and let the chips fall where they may. The world can judge me as it will. I won't measure myself against those so eager to follow each other. Who is the leader? lol

I agree with everything you said except your comments on education. Education creates thinkers. Education is supposed to teach how to think, not what to think.

Self education is best. Institutional education is the next best, and no education could be detrimental in our society- but in spiritual and mystical circles, the less education you have the better. Thank you for providing thought-provoking commentary.

I have no permanent address and do not want one. I have saved my earned income since the scare of the Financial Crisis and banked all the pandemic $ I received. I have carefully invested that money so I derive a modest return every month. I still work odd skilled labor jobs any chance I get. I move up and down the east coast following the weather and job opportunities. My life is in stark contrast with that of my dad's. Nice union pension and SS and a homeowner.

It was the most depressing thing I’ve been through but it needed to be done Not only did I realize a lot of stuff about myself, but also unintentionally learned how the world works in a way that I would’ve never figured out

I'm gutted I wasn't this wise at 25. Sure would have saved a lot of upset and regret. Enjoyed this. You're a very aware man. I wish you a good life. xx

[@Monoqor]

Wish you the same ✊🏾

[@groovermctoober4508]

Very eloquently said! I'm now in my early 70's and have ALWAYS done exactly what you're advocating, and I am so thankful and happy I didn't fall into the conformity trap. I have always been my own man. Of course, I've gotten a lot of flak from the conformists along the way, but I never let that slow me down, because I was always convinced that I was on the right path. Most people forget that they only live once. If you don't do it in this lifetime, you never will. Good luck with all your future endeavors! P.S. I wish I lived somewhere near you; I believe we'd be great friends.

[@Monoqor]

It’s a great way to live for sure. Good luck to you as well, my friend.

I am that’s why they won’t leave me alone

hardest video i've seen in months, at 25 this gave me more mental clarity than 99% of "Life Gurus/Coaches/Experts"

[@OIII-IOOO]

smart young man. it took me fifty years to come to the same conclusion.

[@theragingviking]

Thanks man i feel the same as you. Like it says in the bible, "Everything is meaningless." "There is nothing new under the sun." The most important thing is following that little voice on the inside telling you what your purpose is here on earth. Everyone expects you to fit into this little box, but i dont fit in their box. Thanks you have got a new subscriber.

[@mooseymoose]

That’s a nice spot by the creek, love places like that.

[@Monoqor]

Agreed 🏞️

[@beerman204]

Either you think for yourself or you let society or others think for you. Many people trade their own thing for conforming which is something they can share with many others. A cost of doing your own thing is perhaps less people to share with....but you do have the most interesting person you know...yourself..

[@jackthe15headedmonster25]

Well said! You inspired me with this new quote "stay on your lane to achieve your dreams" which honestly that's how I spend my whole teen years. (and I'm very glad that I did this from such an early age)

[@Monoqor]

Yup, honestly the best to go. Keeps you out of trouble & on the right track.

[@keeprunningbarry]

facts brother. I ain't gonna lie I'm commenting this kinda prematurely, haven't finished the whole video yet since I gotta get ready for work, but man that intro was real.

[@michaelfilippi1520]

Hell yeah, brother. Best believe it.

[@tommywhite4553]

[@JSkitt]

This video earned you my subscription and beyond. I love listening to people who can think for themselves and not just what mass media tells them to. May everybody here celebrate not drinking the kool aid and pursuing what THEY desire.

[@skyhighmaximilian]

Great video. Keep up the good work. "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." - 1 Timothy 6:10, KJV "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." - Proverbs 22:7, KJV "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law." - Romans 13:8, KJV

[@Kingiam123]

This is much needed info for all kids...and young adults! Nice content. 💪 ✌️

[@123meenasalih]

This video resonates with me. I don’t want to live in a system that doesn’t benefit me, I want to take the time to figure out what I want but I feel like I’m no where. What can I do to live a fulfilling life and not end up in debt, broke, divorced with kids, I feel like the system we’re living in is a system where no one wins and even if I want to escape it feels hard even though it’s easier then ever. I’m so glad you’re talking about this brother! - From a 23 year old woman whose trying to figure it out considering I just got out of a relationship I was supposed to get married to🤝🏾♥️

My guy here spitting straight truth
