People who believe that science has all the answers tell us that we came from nothing.
These same people "seem" really intelligent. And they are smart in many ways.
But... souls can not be created from a big bang.

When I was younger, I was taking a walk. I was depressed, but decided to praise God anyway. I said "Thank you, God, for this beautiful day." That's it. I did not expect a response, I didn't ASK for a response.

This is what happened at that moment. God spoke to me - for the first (and only time, so far). He said "Look up." (I had always wondered what it meant when people claimed that God spoke to them - not verbally, but they knew it was him. Now I understood.)
I looked up at the sky. It was a perfectly clear day, not one cloud. When I looked at the sky, God opened it up just a sliver... only enough for me to see this glorious light in the small opening. It was both Heaven and God's presence, I knew. It was the most beautiful, indescribable light - full of colors I'd never seen before. And, beyond the beauty of it - it only lasted a second or so - was the most amazing love and joy coming from that place. From God.
And, when I say it only lasted a second, that might seem strange, but the love and joy and beauty and perfection coming from that place was SO beyond anything I could handle. This world we live in is pretty crappy (lol). I get it when the Bible says Satan is allowed to rule here until Jesus returns. Because the brief 'look' into God's glory that God let me have - that one short second - was overwhelming. My current mind, my current experience on this earth, could not comprehend something THAT Good and Pure and Loving.

My view is: If we reach out to God, he will help up with our faith

Why do we strive to go to school and work. We fret about our every day lives, wanting to talk to that person we have a crush on, scared the teacher is gonna yell at you for forgetting to do your homework. Don't fret. All will be lost eventually. Enjoy your stay here while you can.

Im only 15.. this is absolutely crazy and fascinating to me... I feel like after watching your videos I've been sucked into a world that changes the way I will think forever... I'm noticing more things as I go about my day... not working my life and all my efforts towards something that all in all will be lost.. its something people are blinded to and something people have "sold their lives to.." I'm only 15 but after watching this I feel as though I'm discovering something some adults are too scared or could care a less to even think about. honestly thank you for these videos

“Life has three rules: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

- Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste your time trying to figure it out.

- Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. ...

- Change: Know that nothing ever stays the same.”

Life is continuous; there is no break in consciousness. When the body dies the spirit awakens.

"The two most important days of your life: The day you were born, and the day you found out why." Absolutely beautiful, bravo Mark Twain. I also love the waterfall metaphor. It reminds me of Alan Watts' quote, "You are something that the whole universe is doing, just as a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing." By imagining ourselves as single droplets in a waterfall we are given a broader perspective on how to appreciate the here and now. "Its beauty is not by what is was or what it will be, but what it is during the brief moment of its fall." Fantastically thought-provoking video, thank you making it.

What a truly amazing gift to get to be the one who lives

[tjkreisher]

Does the audio cut out around (3:40) for anyone else?

Every time I watch this video I think about the people in my life who believes in Gods and other religious stuff, for me they're brainwashed to the truth and imprisoned to their culture, I'm just so glad I woke up of my long sleep and found everything.

من شدة حماسي لهذا الفيديو قمت وصرخت وقفزت بكل قوتي, , خاصة لأني أفكر في ترك جامعتي ودراستي لأحيا الحياة التي أريدها ولأكون حرا بدلا من أن أكون مجرد عبد أو آلة, , شكرا لك

13 When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is: fear God and keep His commands, because this is for all humanity. 14 For God will bring every act to judgment, including every hidden thing, whether good or evil. - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

What is life
How about love







Don't ask someone who is in love
But the person who has been
In love, they're the only ones who knows-saim

Isaac Suh,
Who wrote "The droplets of a waterfall exists briefly during the moment of its fall.
Its beauty is not by what it was or what it will be, but what it is during the brief moment of its fall.And so it is with life.Life is here. Now is the moment to appreciate it. And if there is more to come, we can appreciate then."? It's quite amazing

[seemlyme]

Sound, volume editing needs improvement

[jim-hgnu]
