The Secret to Authentic Living By Embracing Your Core Values! | Tools for the Void 5 -100

[@binkz5987]

I am not convinced the universe is meaningless....an infinite universe is appealing to me...endless discovery intriguing...

[@Terranova0]

It's interesting to me when you talk about the void. I grew up in very diverse religious home and developed a healthy skepticism regarding religion. Through my life I have investigated many spiritual paths (I am a truth seeker), but all have been found lacking authenticity. I consider myself agnostic. If there is/are 'supreme' being(s), I'm certain s/he/it isn't anything like current religions imagine them to be. I ordered your book and look forward to reading it. I believe people need meaningful rituals in their lives, and effective emotional coping mechanisms to thrive. Thank you for your videos.

9 with balanced wings, enneagram is awesome and really accurate.

[@stephaniemassengale7160]

I took it on Truity and I’m a 4 with a 5 wing also! No wonder I’ve fallen into a rabbit hole with your content and it speaks to me so much. You get it.

For me, and maybe for a lot of boomers, we have fallen into the void left after realizing that so much of what we believed was marketing and heavy-duty propaganda that started before we hit kindergarten. So many bills have come due in the last 10 years, so many idols and certainties have turned to dust. I'm not happy about that. It's easy for me to understand why celebrating lies is better for human beings than dealing with the truth. Looking back on the self that had energy and enthusiasm and belief in the progress of justice and the goodness of the American people and system is hard.

Thank you again!!!! The end of my marriage was very tough for me....

I totally get what you're saying. I became an atheist after my partner died. At least that's when my deconstruction began. The whole process was the hardest thing imaginable, especially considering I was dealing with horrible grief, but I made it through and now I'm working on creating a life worth living for myself. I decided to go back to school and I'm currently a 40-year-old neuroscience student. I've got a lot of school to finish, but I'm really enjoying the process and I'm actually happy. I've learned to love and care about myself in a way that I never did before. Im excited that I get to spend the rest of my life and career pursuing knowledge and truth and creating meaning wherever I want it to be. I'm not afraid of change or what people think, or much of anything anymore. I'm a biological determinist, so I don't believe we have free will either, but at the end of the day, we kind of have to pretend we do lol. Oh and great channel. I've watched a few of your videos now and really enjoyed them. These are important topics that don't seem to be addressed enough in atheist spaces.

I think it's interesting that you use Marsha Linehan's words "a life worth living". I read one of her books and while I think she got a lot of things right, one thing I didn't like about her work is that she made clear that she never hesitated to use hell to frighten her suicidal clients.

I value my core when I train abs. Thanks for the cool content. It's useful and well presented. I dislike the eneagram or the myers-briggs test, I think those things are a bit like the zodiac.

The best thing about life is that it doesn't go on forever .

Surveying "Near-death Experiences" (KZbin) will show that your soul is eternal-- like it or not. 😢

@@EagerCentaur-kw1ov Surveying near death experiences will tell you that people tend to report seeing what they expected to see. If you are a US evangelical Christian, I suggest reading about Thai, Finding, or Japanese NDEs.

Hi. Just stumbled across you here in counter-apologetics land with 10 things that die…I thought it was brilliant. I’m very pleased to be an early subscriber, and I predict you will get many more!

[@copperquartz4145]

Can you make a video about the psychology of why different personalities find the Void freeing and dance right through it as you say at 5:45 ? I’m one of those people who naturally came to an absurdist mindset as a young person and it genuinely confuses me why people find nihilism depressing. Like intellectually, I’ve read different people’s accounts and I know it can be stressful to realize your entire worldview is a lie but I don’t understand why so many people are stuck on this idea that This has to mean Something. You say we are in the age of The Crisis of Meaning, and I guess I just don’t understand why lack of (objective) meaning is such a crisis for so many people.

Do you host guests ? You should! I’m an ex Jehovah witness. I love being a guest on lives on tik tok speaking about this topic.

[@haylebales]

Isn’t the enneagram just made up? I don’t get it. I thought it was very woo. I feel like it’s a completely made up but helpful tool. Just someone’s “sense” of things that happens to be a helpful framework. Is there somehow more science to it that I’m missing?

[@thepresentpursuit]

Are there any specific enneagram tests that you recommend? There are so many out there, and some of them definitely seem to be blended with New Age spirituality.

[@nononsensespirituality]

Truity has a free one that is ok

[@priscillacoffey4379]

It's funny that you would say the Ennegram has no woo because if you go into any Christian circles there's the more Orthodox are very fundamentalist that would say it's got new age attachments to it Or at least that's what I've heard

[@ChicanaCuriousMama]

@BrittHartley I know I’m late in watching this, but I just thought it was funny (in a ironic way) that you mentioned Astrology bc it’s something I’m genuinely interested in learning about just for fun. I think I’m one of those people who realizes - ok life is meaningless, but I’m not gonna wallow in nihilism either. I’ve been VERY drawn to the occult and the magickal arts (witchcraft). To me exploring this as a form of spirituality feels authentic and liberating bc fundamentalist Christianity where I came from - totally forbade anything resembling it.

I seek Oblivia, the rolling non conscious emptiness that has no suffering, no meaning, no escape, no anything . A zero sum existence is far better than a negative sum consciousness imo.,
