Is God the Destination on the Path to Enlightenment?
Most of you know me as TheStrikingStoic. Philosophy has always served me well. It was intellectually stimulating and gave me things to think about. It gave me structure and ideals that I could follow. However, there was always a void that it couldn't fill. I am fairly sure we all have a void within us that we fill with different things. For me, the question of existence always made that void fairly large. It may be a shock to some of you, but I have decided to follow Jesus and proclaim that I am now a Christian. I have never liked how Christianity was taught to people; preachers yelling and people being loud the entire time. I want to approach it from a different angle; one that isn't as obnoxious and teaches lessons calmly and practically. Thank you all for being tuned in thus far, I think this is an exciting new beginning and I hope most of you stick around to at least see what it's about.
This is part 1 of a new series I am doing on Jungian Masculine Archetypes. Jung theorized a collective unconscious, an unconscious part of the mind influenced by the human beings from the past. In this collective unconscious are archetypes. Jung theorized 12 archetypes, while Robert Moore established 4 of them as the masculine archetypes. These archetypes are the King, Warrior, Magician, and the Lover. All of these archetypes are present within us and all work together. Ideally, we hope to be balanced in all of the archetypes, but often we experience the shadow version of each archetype. Tune in for the rest of the series where I will go in depth on each archetype, each archetype's shadow, and how to experience each archetype in its fullness.

What does God say about decision making? This video is on indecision, and the danger of being indecisive. Indecision can leave us paralyzed, unable to make simple choices sometimes. Our fear of failure or a negative outcome often causes this paralysis.
Indecision on your beliefs is a common issue. Some people either don't think about existentialism, or they are overwhelmed with so many paths that they cannot decide. Especially for Christians, it is important to understand that we cannot be indecisive on the life we wish to live. You must decide that a life of sin is something you wish to turn away from, not continue in. Once a decision is made, then God can work. We should be asking god for help in making decisions.
This does not mean you will never struggle with sin. But the mindset that you and God are in agreement must be the first step. If you enjoyed the video please leave a like and comment. If you're new here, please subscribe.

Will God spit you out of his mouth if you are lukewarm? What is the meaning of saying I will spit you out? What does God and the Bible say about being lukewarm? I answer these questions in this video.
The passage being cited is Revelation 3:15-16 where Jesus tells the church of Laodicea that since they are neither hot nor cold, he is about to spit them out of his mouth. This verse has been taken out of context to scare Christians and I explain why in the video.

In Schopenhauer's book, The World as Will and Representation, he argues that reality operates on a will, a demonic forces that requires us to endlessly seek the will to life, which requires the destruction of other organisms with the will to life. A person's ability to have hope can amplify the satisfaction a person has in their life. How are you working toward that individual you envision? An individual that you have determined would be worth becoming in exchange for the inevitable suffering of life.

Welcome to the final archetype of my series on Jung Masculine Archetypes. The Lover Archetype is not just a sexual archetype, but a passionate live-giving archetype. Without it, we would not be able to appreciate the beauty in life or connect to other people on an emotional level. I hope you all enjoyed the series and be on the lookout for my future videos coming soon.
