00:00:00.000 glorious greetings lads today i want to talk a bit about black friday and before i begin to
00:00:11.000 get to the main point of the video i would just like to throw it out there that i don't have
00:00:16.380 anything against buying things i don't have anything against buying things on sale and i
00:00:20.980 don't have anything against liking things so here is my gopro i like this very much indeed i can make
00:00:27.040 epic videos with it and yeah you've seen some of the epic videos i've used the gopro too so i've
00:00:33.740 nothing against that sort of thing but what i do have something against is the fact that black friday
00:00:39.900 has cocked in a way a lot of other traditions so if we look upon the modern world and i will make
00:00:46.720 a separate video on revolt against the modern world at a later stage but just briefly summarize the
00:00:54.060 modern world has taken away a lot of things from us such as spirituality community and tradition
00:00:59.560 and instead what we see we have traditions and holy days that are celebrating the religion of modernity
00:01:07.680 aka consumerism so we have that instead of genuine authentic spiritual beliefs and obviously this is
00:01:16.040 just the way it is i don't claim to live a good spiritual life either i do try shout out to joan
00:01:22.860 and anders for the glorious bloot the other month so i do try to participate in spiritual activities when
00:01:29.800 the opportunity presents itself but yet again none of us are living in that traditional in terms of
00:01:36.720 upholding rituals etc that our forefathers did and that's just the way it is what we can do obviously
00:01:42.300 to combat this and this is much easier said than done is to commence spiritual rituals so become
00:01:49.660 pagan without making it too larpy or if you live in a deeply catholic country you can become more
00:01:55.500 catholic i don't endorse anyone else to become a catholic though because it's quite it's quite far
00:02:01.040 from many of us in terms of spirituality but that's another topic and i won't get into that now i'm sure
00:02:06.960 the comment section will take care of the discussion regarding christianity or paganism but the point
00:02:13.520 being is that black friday or or black week even has taken the place of more genuine spiritual
00:02:20.620 expressions and that is obviously something that is a bit problematic to say the least so yeah yet again
00:02:28.220 what can we do to combat this find another spirituality that isn't based upon consumerism that is based upon
00:02:34.700 blood for example or tradition or heritage or something of the sort or even violence or strength or
00:02:41.880 something like that i will talk about more of these things in coming videos that's definitely something
00:02:47.680 that is needed a spiritual awakening in in the world and in the west in particular but yeah point being
00:02:55.260 that black friday you can view it as a holy day as a ritual of the modern world where you celebrate
00:03:00.920 mammon where you celebrate consumerism so my problem really is not that you buy things on sale
00:03:07.820 my problem is that that has taken the role of a spiritual ceremony that should have been done in a
00:03:15.100 different way so perhaps not the most profound of thoughts but i just wanted to throw it out there
00:03:22.120 since it's black friday today so anyway i hope you have a joyous weekend ahead xxo boom
