00:00:00.000 People want to overcomplicate things, especially many people who are drawn to Ausatru or who we find at present who are curious about it.
00:00:12.940 Often those people are intellectually minded.
00:00:15.980 They are well read.
00:00:17.120 They have an interest in history, an interest in philosophy.
00:00:22.360 But sometimes people are too smart for their own good.
00:00:25.460 I mean this in the sense that oftentimes people will overanalyze and hyperanalyze something forever instead of just doing the thing.
00:00:41.660 So I have always been a fan of keep this basic, get back to the fundamentals, get good at the fundamentals, worship the gods genuinely from your heart with piety and respect, and things will work out good for you.
00:01:04.760 Now, yes, that's those of us that are very curious about all these things.
00:01:09.720 Don't don't shut it off and be curious.
00:01:13.080 I wouldn't say that at all, but always return to the fundamentals, even if you don't have it all figured out perfect yet.
00:01:20.200 Even if we are unable to give you the answers to every question.
00:01:27.600 You can't eliminate all question.
00:01:30.980 That doesn't mean that you don't have things that are absolutely true, that you know are true.
00:01:38.520 Celebrate the truths while you explore the questions.
00:01:42.880 Don't let a lack of perfect understanding of everything prevent you from simply going to your altar and worshiping your gods.
00:01:53.080 Pouring out a libation, lighting some incense, and giving a prayer.
00:01:57.520 You don't have to be an expert to be also true, and you can be an eminent expert and not be also true.
