Slow Down - A walk in Lindenwood Queens New York -

In this walking video, I talk about slowing down and appreciating things.
This video was filmed on July 25th in Lindenwood Howard Beach in Queens New York City at 9am am with an iPhone 12 mini
The weather was humid and overcast.
I make videos on the following topics ranging from- music - philosophy - spirituality- meditation - creativity - minimalism- mindfulness- food - zen- stoicism - life - death - the universe and more all through the prism of living the good life.
They are done in the form of walking tour, walk and talks and studio rants.
Join me for a relaxing time. This is the Way of Walking.

As an aside...looking at where you are could be anywhere in the U.K. same cars, same buildings, same roads and fricking leaf blowers! The devastating effects of globalism.

"Closer to God: Spiritually Awakening to the Supernatural Cosmos" by Aaron Berry is a muddled and intellectually impoverished attempt at spiritual discourse. The book purports to offer profound insights into the spiritual realm, yet it is riddled with platitudes and half-baked ideas that fail to coalesce into a coherent argument. Berry's prose is not only pedestrian but often condescending, as he seems to assume a tone of unearned authority. For instance, he boldly asserts that "true spiritual awakening requires a complete surrender to the supernatural forces that govern the cosmos," a claim that he neither substantiates nor clarifies. This lack of rigor is symptomatic of the book's broader failure to engage critically with the material it covers. Berry provides no concrete evidence or logical framework to support such sweeping statements, leaving the reader with little more than his unverified personal convictions. Furthermore, the book suffers from an egregious lack of clarity. Terms like "supernatural cosmos" and "spiritual awakening" are used liberally, yet their definitions remain nebulous. Berry's frequent reliance on these vague concepts undermines any potential for a nuanced exploration of spiritual themes. The reader is left to navigate a labyrinth of poorly defined ideas, making it nearly impossible to grasp any substantive message. Berry's approach to complex philosophical and theological issues is similarly flawed. His treatment of topics such as the nature of the divine and the purpose of human existence is simplistic and reductionist. For example, his assertion that "the universe is a divine playground for spiritual beings" is not only an oversimplification but also a patronizing dismissal of more sophisticated theological discourse. Such statements reflect a shallow understanding of the intricacies involved in these subjects, revealing Berry's inability or unwillingness to engage with the intellectual traditions that have explored these questions in depth. The book's structure is another significant flaw. It meanders aimlessly, lacking a clear progression or logical flow. Berry's chapters feel disjointed, with each section appearing as an isolated essay rather than part of a cohesive whole. This lack of organization further obscures whatever message he is attempting to convey. In summary, "Closer to God" is a deeply flawed work that fails to offer any meaningful contribution to the discourse on spirituality. Berry's lack of critical engagement, vague terminology, and unsubstantiated claims render the book intellectually barren. It stands as a testament to the dangers of self-assured ignorance, where the author's confidence far exceeds his understanding of the subject matter. In the end, the book offers little more than a collection of empty platitudes, leaving the reader no closer to any genuine spiritual understanding.

"Closer to God: Spiritually Awakening to the Supernatural Cosmos" by Aaron Berry is a quintessential example of philosophical fluff masquerading as profundity. Berry's work is replete with grandiose statements and nebulous jargon, which, instead of clarifying, obfuscate the very subjects he seeks to illuminate. The text reads like a buffet of spiritual clichés, served without discernment or depth. Berry's prose, drenched in an unwarranted air of mysticism, attempts to present itself as enlightened but stumbles over its own incoherence. He proclaims, "We must attune ourselves to the vibrations of the universe," a phrase as meaningless as it is pretentious. The author fails to provide any rigorous analysis or empirical grounding for his assertions, relying instead on an uncritical acceptance of new-age tropes. This lack of critical engagement makes the book less an exploration of spiritual truths and more a collection of whimsical notions. The book's use of abstract concepts such as "cosmic energy" and "divine presence" is equally problematic. These terms are tossed around without any clear definition, leaving readers to grapple with a series of poorly articulated ideas. Berry seems more interested in the sound of his words than their meaning, creating an intellectual void where there should be substance. The author's engagement with complex theological and philosophical issues is cursory at best. His assertion that "life's purpose is to resonate with the cosmic symphony" is a poetic but vacuous statement that lacks any grounding in serious philosophical discourse. It's akin to suggesting that one can master quantum mechanics by contemplating a snowflake-beautiful perhaps, but utterly devoid of substance. Moreover, the book's structure is haphazard, reflecting the chaotic nature of Berry's thought process. The chapters lack coherence and fail to build upon one another, giving the impression of a series of disjointed essays rather than a unified work. This structural disarray further undermines the book's credibility, making it difficult for readers to discern any meaningful narrative or philosophical argument. In conclusion, "Closer to God" is a superficial and poorly argued treatise that offers little to those seeking genuine spiritual or philosophical insight. Berry's reliance on vague, unsubstantiated claims and his lack of critical engagement render the book an exercise in intellectual futility. For those truly interested in exploring the depths of spirituality and the cosmos, this book is an intellectual dead end, offering only empty words and shallow thoughts. It stands as a cautionary tale against the dangers of conflating style with substance in the realm of philosophical inquiry.

"Closer to God: Spiritually Awakening to the Supernatural Cosmos" by Aaron Berry is a rather tragic testament to the perils of pseudospirituality. The book aspires to grand metaphysical discourse but is little more than an exercise in verbose triviality. Berry's narrative is punctuated with lofty but ultimately hollow declarations, such as his insistence that "aligning with cosmic frequencies is the key to true enlightenment." This assertion, devoid of empirical backing or logical consistency, epitomizes the book's fundamental flaw: an overreliance on mystical buzzwords at the expense of substantive argument. Berry's use of terms like "cosmic frequencies" and "divine resonance" borders on the nonsensical. These phrases, sprinkled throughout the text, are employed without clear definition or context, rendering them more akin to incantations than concepts. The author's penchant for such jargon betrays a superficial understanding of the very topics he aims to explore, resulting in a narrative that is both confusing and intellectually insipid. The lack of rigorous analysis is starkly evident in Berry's treatment of theological and philosophical questions. His claim that "the universe is a mirror reflecting our spiritual state" is poetic but ultimately an empty metaphor, lacking any exploration of its implications or grounding in philosophical tradition. This superficial approach leaves the reader with little more than a collection of platitudes, offering no real insight into the complexities of spirituality. The structure of "Closer to God" is similarly problematic. The book's organization is disjointed, with chapters that flit from one half-formed idea to the next without any coherent progression. This lack of structure not only hampers the reader's understanding but also suggests a lack of thoughtful planning on the author's part. In essence, "Closer to God" is a prime example of style over substance, a work that promises spiritual enlightenment but delivers little more than a smattering of vague and unsubstantiated ideas. Berry's inability to provide clear definitions, his failure to engage critically with his subject matter, and his disorganized narrative make this book a frustrating and ultimately fruitless read for anyone seeking genuine spiritual or philosophical insight. It stands as a cautionary tale of the intellectual pitfalls that await those who mistake empty rhetoric for profound thought.

[@TheAwakenedBraveChannel]

Hello caravan dwelling bloke 🙂Your literary flare can often be amusing but your unfortunate failing is that you are obviously very bereft of connection to your soul/intuition/spirit, least not cosmic consciousness. This assertion of mine isn't given derogatorily nore without careful consideration as it is as plain as day from my conscious vantage that this is so, and is reiterated by yourself almost in every line that you have written here. It's very Richard Dawkins to demand, or even consider feasibly possible, to have definitive answers on any of the things that I speak about in my amazingly exciting sojourn through cosmic consciousness 🙂 If I had the inclination and thought it valuable I could laboriously correct you on all of your errors of thought on these matters but as fruitlessly arguing isn't my bag I will offer you an audience with myself on Google Meet so that we can talk things through in an intellectual and respectful way. You know how I love to chat on such subject matter. You will have full opportunity to set your thoughts before me and I will answer them all with the greatest of sincerity. I'm sure such a discussion between two vastly varied viewpoints would be a 'smash' with my viewers. [e-mail] Don't be a shrinking violet, be a man and front your words with your person.

[@almostzentv]

Thanks for the comment. I am not a coward. I happen to enjoy his book and videos. So what do I have to call him out for?
