00:00:00.000 yes I believe in God I believe that God is in everything and in regards to my
00:00:09.120 religion if anyone asks I would say I am a perennialist I believe there are many
00:00:16.620 different ways to find God I believe there are many different legitimate
00:00:22.400 paths to God so those are the short answers right there now a disclaimer
00:00:30.920 before I begin to elaborate I'm not a priest I'm not of the priest archetype or
00:00:37.900 priest caste I am merely a humble aspiring enlightened despot I'm merely a
00:00:45.220 humble philosopher prince so there are those who are much better suited to talk
00:00:53.680 about these issues but since I get the question quite often and since I know
00:00:59.200 it's a topic of of interest to many I thought to give my take on it but I have
00:01:06.520 been hesitant to respond to this because I ultimately believe that your own
00:01:11.680 religion should be something personal and I don't want anyone to to wait for my 1.00
00:01:17.020 answer to start their own quest to find God now I'm not trying to be humble here
00:01:23.380 I want you to listen to me always I always wanted to do as I advise as I
00:01:30.820 recommend so if I say that you should train hard read hard and sleep well you
00:01:39.060 should definitely do it so every basically every video I make you should
00:01:45.540 listen and you should take to heart the advice that that I present same thing
00:01:52.780 with the Dauntless I wanted to read it I wanted to incorporate the practical advice
00:01:58.300 but when it comes to religion I can't say to you which path you can take it's up to
00:02:04.320 you Dalai Lama says that Buddhism is the best way for him to find God for me I'm
00:02:12.420 still searching I'm on the path and I want to explore as many different religious
00:02:19.360 traditions as possible hence I call myself a perennialist and now you might
00:02:25.500 say oh can't you say that you are a pagan or a Christian or something like that and I
00:02:31.680 can't say that because that wouldn't be the most accurate response possible I
00:02:37.020 always want to be as clear and honest as possible so I'm giving you the honest
00:02:43.680 response right here when I say that I am then a perennialist and I acknowledge that
00:02:49.980 there are many good and glorious ways to find God what I can say however is that if
00:02:58.680 someone asks are there many gods or are there only one God again take this with a
00:03:04.740 pinch of salt again I'm not a priest in my humble opinion at least and of course I
00:03:11.040 derive inspiration from the neoplatonic teaching of the one or the good so I
00:03:17.640 believe that there is one God that is in everything and that God is beyond
00:03:23.640 comprehension for humans I am certainly comfortable saying that God is beyond my
00:03:31.960 comprehension but if we're talking about several gods I have a good example which
00:03:41.380 I used in my latest podcast so we can take the sacred Baltic Sea which I suppose many of
00:03:49.140 you know and love I certainly know and love it it is connected to the Atlantic so one
00:03:56.820 could say it's the same water in the Baltic and the Atlantic but they are still distinct bodies of
00:04:05.460 water there's still two different seas if you will but at the same time they are one and if we're
00:04:12.960 talking about one God or many gods I would say that the many gods are part of the one God and
00:04:20.640 another good example which I also used in my latest podcast is the different forms God can take and I can
00:04:29.920 take a rather mundane example here like milk and whey now whey is of course milk but in a different form
00:04:38.160 so they come from the same source the one the one source of milk of a dairy so when you mix a protein
00:04:48.060 shake some milk and whey you mix two ingredients which come from the same source and then they become
00:04:56.100 one again something else is of course snow ice rain water same thing different forms so that's something
00:05:07.260 I find at least in my humble opinion quite useful to think in terms of the the nature of the divine it can
00:05:18.360 take many different forms and if you read my book review of the agony and the ecstasy I included a quote which
00:05:26.940 illustrates quite well the when when Hindus are being called idol worshipers and they say that Krishna or
00:05:36.540 God he can take many different forms so he is in the materials of the idols as well you can check
00:05:44.460 it out I will link it below that article quite insightful the book itself now moving on to demigods angels
00:05:54.480 and the primordial beast even as well when I say the primordial beast I have tried to explain this
00:06:02.460 concept before in a video I feel more comfortable explaining it now but it's simply a a certain
00:06:09.720 energy of God taking a certain form and that particular energy it imbues you as a man hopefully
00:06:18.660 with a sense of primordial energy I can't explain it better than to just refer to it as the primordial
00:06:28.680 beast now we can say that the primordial beast is a well a God but it's actually an energy of the
00:06:36.960 one God same thing if we're talking about gods of war certain men sometimes I suppose many of you
00:06:44.940 have felt it at some stage you feel a an urge to fight or whatever yeah that can be the warrior energy
00:06:54.660 of God in the form of a war God such as Tyr or Mars or Ares or or Ares or someone like that he takes
00:07:06.900 that form and imbues you with that energy and then you have different other gods that can imbue you in
00:07:16.440 a similar manner so you can view it as God taking a certain shape and then he blesses you in that
00:07:24.000 shape and you feel different different ways now if you want to live a lifestyle which enables the
00:07:31.200 primordial beast to imbue your spirit then yeah simply simply live the lifestyle which I recommend so train hard
00:07:42.600 eat clean sleep well absolutely no pornography think in heroic terms act in heroic terms and yeah you
00:07:52.320 will build your your inner body your your inner temple you will be able to attract the spirit of
00:08:00.060 the primordial beast and it's an absolutely great sensation when you feel that when you start feeling
00:08:06.600 like a force of nature now of course many people they talk about the love of God this is something
00:08:13.920 similar but that love it takes something it's a different sort of energy but that's definitely
00:08:21.480 something I recommend you to try to find because it is a nice feeling I'm not saying that I found the
00:08:27.240 the perfect love of God yet myself but it's something worth it's something worth going on a spiritual quest
00:08:39.840 for at least now the discussion on demigods and angels it will have to wait till the I suppose the next
00:08:46.680 podcast episode or a separate video I'll see but long story short in my view at least a demigod would be
00:08:53.160 someone who is a human that is additionally filled with the energy of God so the the energy if God is in
00:09:01.740 everything a demigod is a person that has extra much of God in him or if it's a demigodess in her 0.75
00:09:11.280 now lastly as I also mentioned in the latest podcast episode in regard to the well so-called conflict
00:09:20.760 between Christians and pagans always online of course a very escapist very silly conflicts I don't 1.00
00:09:30.960 even want to call it a conflict but yeah something of that sort now this is not something you will
00:09:37.680 take any heat for you will not take any heat for going all out criticizing paganism or criticizing
00:09:44.820 Christianity you will take heat when you talk about bioculture and civilization and stuff like that so
00:09:52.800 if you ask what team am I on because I know in these online dramas online conflicts it's not so much
00:10:00.600 about pushing a good message it's about scoring goals against the other team like it's some sort of
00:10:08.700 sports ball game as I said very silly very inglorious but anyway what you will take heat for is promoting 0.86
00:10:21.240 your own bioculture if you're white that is now the team I am on is team mother Europe it's the same 0.93
00:10:30.360 team that I've always been on and that is what you also take heat for so if you're still engaged in this
00:10:36.300 yes so-called conflict it's not something I want any part of so anyway I hope that responded to the
00:10:45.360 question at hand and in terms of culture you know if I wear a hammer of Thor it's primarily a symbol of
00:10:54.780 bioculture then also of course if Thor the Thunder God is a part of the greater God it's a certain energy
00:11:04.740 quite similar to the primordial beast I might add but that would be a topic for another video or
00:11:10.980 podcast or article then of course if I wear a cross the Swedish flag has a cross on it it's not
00:11:20.040 something I have anything against so I don't mind even though I'm not a Christian I don't have anything
00:11:26.820 against wearing a cross or you know proudly hoisting the Swedish colors which contain a cross
00:11:34.020 it's still our symbol and a beautiful symbol at that now I have rambled on for long enough again
00:11:42.600 disclaimer I'm not of the priest archetype so there are those who are better at explaining this matters
00:11:50.340 but that was my take at least I hope you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching xxo boom
