@@Rotisiv But after hundreds of years of scientific revelations systematically undoing all of the previously established beliefs of borderline illiterate Bronze Age scribes, we absolutely get to decide whether or not we believe in him at all.
@@Rotisiv Why He...are you deciding gender of supreme power?? Well according to this Rational clip there isn't any supreme power/god. We are universe itself & life is a mechanism by which universe understanding itself.
How rare for a show to touch on such deep philosophical and theological questions. This show asked so many deeply human questions about existence, religion, and meaning. The description of death that she uses is just so beautiful and poignant. As a Unitarian Universalist, it makes me happy that ours is a faith that allows each one of it's members to practice our own spiritual paths and allows us to keep an open mind as we share with each other what it is that is being human to each of us. We have space for seekers, mystics, humanists and all different types of faith.
I listen to this so much, made me cry wheb I first heard it.. I was so scared of death but wanted a realise and this has calmed me right down, I actually can't wait to feel this
Perfectly written & perfectly performed. Such a beautiful concept that I have thought in jagged ways, a knowing of something other, & in this the words are put together in simple, succinct order 💜
Watching this show and hearing this for the first time actually changed my life! THIS has always been the closest concept to what I can think of for what my "religious" beliefs are. Whoever wrote this monologue worded it in such a beautiful way and did such an amazing job. This makes me unafraid of death, which ironically makes me enjoy life more
So what do you think happens when we die ? Speaking for myself? Myself. That's the problem. That's the whole problem with the whole thing. That word, "self." That's not the word. That's not right, that isn't… That isn't. How did I forget that? When did I forget that? The body stops a cell at a time, but the brain keeps firing those neurons. Little lightning bolts, like fireworks inside, and I thought I'd despair or feel afraid, but I don't feel any of that. None of it. Because I'm too busy. I'm too busy in this moment. Remembering. Of course. I remember that every atom in my body was forged in a star. This matter, this body is mostly just empty space after all, and solid matter? It's just energy vibrating very slowly and there is no me. There never was. The electrons of my body mingle and dance with the electrons of the ground below me and the air I'm no longer breathing. And I remember there is no point where any of that ends and I begin. I remember I am energy. Not memory. Not self. My name, my personality, my choices, all came after me. I was before them and I will be after, and everything else is pictures, picked up along the way. Fleeting little dreamlets printed on the tissue of my dying brain. And I am the lightning that jumps between. I am the energy firing the neurons, and I'm returning. Just by remembering, I'm returning home. And it's like a drop of water falling back into the ocean, of which it's always been a part. All things… a part. All of us… a part. You, me and my little girl, and my mother and my father, everyone who's ever been, every plant, every animal, every atom, every star, every galaxy, all of it. More galaxies in the universe than grains of sand on the beach. And that's what we're talking about when we say "God." The one. The cosmos and its infinite dreams. We are the cosmos dreaming of itself. It's simply a dream that I think is my life, every time. But I'll forget this. I always do. I always forget my dreams. But now, in this split-second, in the moment I remember, the instant I remember, I comprehend everything at once. There is no time. There is no death. Life is a dream. It's a wish. Made again and again and again and again and again and again and on into eternity. And I am all of it. I am everything. I am all. I am that I am.
Hindu monism, yes. But I’ve heard Catholic scholars say something similar when they unify God and the Holy Spirit through metaphysics, e.g. the Holy Spirit is what moves through people while they’re alive and guides; people looking at Spinoza’s God through a scientific lens also come through with this. Nothing in this monologue is strictly-speaking “new” in philosophy of religion, it’s just a really cool scene of some lay philosophy in a cool show.
This makes me feel like I can finally understand the relationship I’m supposed to have with a higher power I’ve always struggled to believe but described in this way …
This has stuck with me since I heard it. It’s what I want God to be, love. And I want to go back to the cosmos and join everything again.
He is that He is. We don’t get to decide what He is and what He isn’t.

This is possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
I cried saying those words from Riley and when he bravely faces death on thè ocean

Same here Jayde. This scene moved me so deeply. I didn’t expect it but it was what I needed for my own acceptance of death.

Brilliantly put!
The essence of Buddhism. 🙏🙏🙏
So what do you think
happens when we die ?
Speaking for myself?
Myself.
That's the problem.
That's the whole problem
with the whole thing.
That word, "self."
That's not the word.
That's not right, that isn't…
That isn't.
How did I forget that?
When did I forget that?
The body stops a cell at a time,
but the brain keeps firing those neurons.
Little lightning bolts,
like fireworks inside,
and I thought I'd despair or feel afraid,
but I don't feel any of that.
None of it.
Because I'm too busy.
I'm too busy in this moment. Remembering.
Of course.
I remember that every atom in my body
was forged in a star.
This matter, this body is
mostly just empty space after all,
and solid matter?
It's just energy vibrating very slowly
and there is no me.
There never was.
The electrons of my body mingle and dance
with the electrons of the ground below me
and the air I'm no longer breathing.
And I remember
there is no point
where any of that ends and I begin.
I remember I am energy. Not memory.
Not self.
My name, my personality,
my choices, all came after me.
I was before them and I will be after,
and everything else is pictures,
picked up along the way.
Fleeting little dreamlets
printed on the tissue of my dying brain.
And I am the lightning that jumps between.
I am the energy firing the neurons,
and I'm returning.
Just by remembering, I'm returning home.
And it's like a drop of water
falling back into the ocean,
of which it's always been a part.
All things… a part.
All of us… a part.
You, me and my little girl,
and my mother and my father,
everyone who's ever been,
every plant, every animal, every atom,
every star, every galaxy, all of it.
More galaxies in the universe
than grains of sand on the beach.
And that's what we're talking about
when we say "God."
The one.
The cosmos and its infinite dreams.
We are the cosmos dreaming of itself.
It's simply a dream
that I think is my life, every time.
But I'll forget this. I always do.
I always forget my dreams.
But now, in this split-second,
in the moment I remember,
the instant I remember,
I comprehend everything at once.
There is no time. There is no death.
Life is a dream.
It's a wish.
Made again and again and again
and again and again and again
and on into eternity.
And I am all of it.
I am everything. I am all.
I am that I am.
Thank you for this, it moved me too.
Thank you so much for posting this, simple Truth. Simply beautiful.
The final monologue is basically Hinduism 101. Advaita Vedanta.
Hinduism, and many other teachings. I first heard it from a guru in India.
Hindu monism, yes. But I’ve heard Catholic scholars say something similar when they unify God and the Holy Spirit through metaphysics, e.g. the Holy Spirit is what moves through people while they’re alive and guides; people looking at Spinoza’s God through a scientific lens also come through with this.

Really @Manu? I didn’t know that but I’m going to look it up. I was so moved by this scene.
Nope...it's kinda opposite. It's rational. They opposing existence of soul. The whole title of this clip is wrong it's philosophical not spiritual.
Someone has been to the other side
There is no other side. There is just the everything. The all.
DMT…”it’s just a dream that I think is my life, but I’ll forget….I always do“….
In a nutshell!.
This makes me feel like I can finally understand the relationship I’m supposed to have with a higher power
I’ve always struggled to believe but described in this way …
