I’ve been on the path of deconstruction for about five years, and your content has been BY FAR the most helpful, accessible, and interesting. Proud to be here before the channel blows up!
I've been spiralling deeper into the void since my deconversion. I don't want to go back to not knowing that 'the bridge is out' because, as you said, truth is perhaps my highest value, but I'm trying to quietly play checkers because I envy the bliss that the ignorant have. Every syllable of this video is putting my experience into words.
That really struck a chord about not wanting to share it. At first I shouted it from the rooftops with no one caring or understanding, now I realize how fortunate that was, a few years ago I stopped when I realized that I didn't want them to be where I am. Not because I don't think they would survive it, but because they're safe where they are in their dreams.
Everything everywhere all at once is a good movie for this concept. Particularly Waymond’s character is a beautiful answer to nihilism. Kindness and silliness. Not saying it works for everyone but since losing faith, I’ve realized the relationships in my life and the experiences I enjoy create more than enough meaning for me.
Naming things to be able to deal with them - the first step in diagnostic discovery. Great content! Ever since I first learned about you and your whole “thing” on MindShift podcast, I cannot get enough of your content! Keep’em coming!
Thank you. I’m trying to focus on being. I do get stuck sometimes in simple thought loops. It seems so silly. So far I escape by paying attention to breathing. I do get involved and enjoy doing as long as I feel present. I think that perhaps I’ve lived in a shallow void for a few years. This series is very interesting, thank again.
Actually, playing checkers is a wonderful way to escape a cruel, unjust boring world for a few hours, especially if you are an inmate in the void of a prison cell.
I started questioning all those verities as I entered my adolescence, as did many of my peers. I guess we were a nerdy bunch. Stoicism/Epicureanism were the only philosophies that worked for me. I also became very fatalistic about humanity.
Thank you for this train and bridge analogy. Your content makes so much sense. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but I love that it challenges me. I am coming to the conclusion that there definitely isn’t a god with a beard up in heaven. No heaven or hell. But I’m still clinging to “a source of all that is.” Something has to be, not necessarily in charge, rather maybe started it all. Anyway, thank you for helping me as I approach the void. Ugh. :) I will be contacting you via your website when I get there.
Love learning all these new terms like "truth seeker" and "anchors of illusion!" So helpful to craft a voice for what our bodies have been feeling. Just want to add to this discussion by leaving these lyrics here from a song that captures some feelings I had about Nihilism.. What you know about rollin' down in the deep? When your brain goes numb, you can call that mental freeze When these people talk too much, put that shit in slow motion, yeah I feel like an astronaut in the ocean Astronaut in the Ocean -song by Masked Wolf *trigger warning... Lyrics contain the artist saying he believes in G-O-D😂(apparently Masked Wolf is not rollin' down as deep as he thinks he is!)
Can anyone please recommend some sources where I can learn more about the loss of free will (1.45) and the illusory nature of the Self (1.55) that Britt refers to here? Thanks :)
What is the Void and How Do We Navigate it?: bit.ly/TheVoidyt
I almost wanted to cry the way you described it like my god someone actually gets how ive been quietly suffering. Its not just me.
Same!!! It’s like she just opened me up and said I see you 😩

I agree!! She's all I'm listening to currently.

The soulmate realization plunged me way further into the void than leaving religion did
Wow
Just thank you
On a deep level
Thank you

“Determined “ by RS very good. Really no free will.
Agree
This is great Britt!!

I thought if I loved..I would be loved. I am 80 and it never happened. I was used and abused and thrown away like yesterdays garbage by four men
Mushroom soup guide? Can you clarify.. thanks :)
Cannot speak about it publicly, but some strands of mushroom can be very helpful in body processing.
What do you think about ghosts or spirits? Are people delusional who say they have seen a ghost?
I wonder why she didn't answer you. I guess it depends on the sobriety of the person seeing the ghost.
Hey, that sounds like a horrible experience. I wish to be able to understand it better to be more compassionate.
