0:00:00 I'm on it while Kevin we're here in the0:00:04 UAE and the planet it will block here0:00:09 the rollingwood Ross Mojave and some of0:00:12 the FC players and we're in the mission0:00:20 it's a beautiful architecture here comes0:00:24 our we're gonna say to the camera you0:00:27 are beautiful architecture that's right0:00:29 I mean they speak the truth yeah say0:00:34 hello how you find that how you found0:00:37 the numeration well you know the Dean0:00:46 you have see flights ah I find love love0:01:06 for for us in this community0:01:22 [Laughter]0:01:33 is very different than America0:01:36 much more intense polar bears you don't0:01:40 have polar bears you can say in America0:01:42 you guys wrestle grizzly bears0:01:49 but you guys don't make it to the0:01:51 Olympic you don't do in the Olympics0:01:52 that would be you0:02:10 Salam alaikum how's it gonna hear right0:02:17 right okay so here's my variation of a0:02:21 bassoon yes0:02:24 when you were born0:02:27 we told you your name is Polynesia0:02:31 we tell you what your name is the its0:02:34 condition it could have been something0:02:35 else yeah0:02:37 when you were born you you you learn0:02:40 about the dunya you learn about the0:02:43 dirty educate you you see something cold0:02:46 for the first time you see something0:02:49 something big something small something0:02:51 rough something smooth you're learning0:02:53 all about the duniya for the census0:02:56 however there was a point in time when0:02:59 you were alive where he didn't know0:03:01 about your identity and you had it0:03:04 interacted with the dunya0:03:09 there was a point in time where there0:03:12 was no identity no self no ego0:03:15 and there was no interaction with the0:03:18 dunya at all even when you were just0:03:19 just born there's a minimal interaction0:03:21 with the dunya that you're not even0:03:23 aware of this state of there's no name0:03:28 there's no artificial experience there's0:03:30 no sensory experience with the dunya0:03:35 this is a state of Lillehammer Allah why0:03:38 because all there is is an awareness0:03:40 within this awareness everything is0:03:43 contained your whole existence is0:03:45 contained your identity the dunya that's0:03:48 why for instance when we ask materialist0:03:50 philosophers to show us0:03:52 materialism something outside this0:03:54 self-awareness they cannot logically0:03:57 speaking they cannot they always start0:03:59 with the premise that okay your brain is0:04:01 material therefore if you puncture the0:04:02 brain the consciousness is gone when0:04:05 they started with the brain is material0:04:07 I'm asking him to prove materialism and0:04:09 his premise starts with having to accept0:04:12 materialism0:04:15 but put that aside for now the argument0:04:17 of materialism dualism and I feel as a0:04:19 subsistence put that ass economic there0:04:22 was a state of a human being where there0:04:24 is nothing but awareness this is the0:04:26 state of Lillehammer law and this is why0:04:28 I said he says the Prophet told us were0:04:30 all born Muslim and then your parents0:04:32 change you to something else to0:04:35 condition you to make you believe a0:04:37 certain person is God or not I have to0:04:39 condition you but what is your fitna0:04:41 what was your natural religion or were0:04:43 you born in0:04:47 there's no way out of here sorry sir0:04:49 there's no way he thought I was coming0:04:52 in you guys saw that this man was will0:04:55 about MMA and he doesn't think this is a0:04:58 stereotype with coaches and fires any0:05:07 what he's trying to say times are you0:05:10 were talking about justified true belief0:05:11 yes0:05:12 even justified true belief doesn't even0:05:15 eliminate all doubt now we have to0:05:17 remember we're not talking about0:05:18 pragmatism here knowledge that's useful0:05:21 for putting a roof over your head we're0:05:23 talking about absolute truth we're0:05:25 talking about are you curious about some0:05:27 people are not interested in truth some0:05:28 people are just interested about what0:05:30 put some food in their belly and a0:05:32 shelter over their head after that they0:05:34 don't want to talk anymore so this topic0:05:36 doesn't interest you change the channel0:05:39 because people you know they're always0:05:41 asking me okay well how do you make0:05:42 money with this idea this is not about0:05:43 making money it's not about pragmatism0:05:47 sometimes people say I love truth I love0:05:49 truth you know people can't handle the0:05:51 truth we believe in this truth truth I0:05:53 was talking about you0:05:55 what do you mean by true with oftentimes0:05:56 what they mean is pragmatism what they0:05:58 love is the dunya what they love is hey0:06:00 do these methods and belief bring me0:06:03 resources they work did it work or not0:06:05 exactly but because something works and0:06:08 we can find many examples of things0:06:10 people believe things that worked but0:06:12 there actually weren't true now they've0:06:13 been debug like for instance we used to0:06:15 believe bloodletting works0:06:17 Galen we believe bloodletting is he let0:06:20 blood out he would help you serve I was0:06:21 actually untrue completely false but my0:06:25 point being is this they believed it was0:06:27 true so they they believed it was true0:06:29 they thought I was working so they0:06:30 called it the truth to them he was a0:06:32 rosary source0:06:35 even things that actually really do work0:06:38 in the world later on find out the0:06:40 reason why they worked is completely0:06:41 different than the original reason why0:06:45 so what are we talking about here0:06:48 there if you're truly a lover of0:06:50 knowledge you're gonna crank up the dial0:06:51 of skepticism now today the lowest level0:06:55 of skepticism we can accept is the0:06:57 scientific method0:06:59 you have a hypotheses we have to test it0:07:01 has to be predictive as to be0:07:03 falsifiable etc but David Hume has le0:07:10 Emanuel cap this was not enough for them0:07:12 they went even further they wanted to0:07:14 know what's that puts the truth in the0:07:16 ultimate sense so if you were reading0:07:19 their writings you're talking about a0:07:20 whole different subject here0:07:24 so this is this is what we're talking0:07:26 about now what is actually true cannot0:07:29 be denied0:07:30 there's no new evidence in the future0:07:32 there's no new argument that's gonna0:07:34 come it's bulletproof has Ally bonded0:07:38 down to this point of awareness the0:07:40 Canadian guy come into to the Y to look0:07:44 at to take photos take falls of war snow0:07:48 yeah artificial artificial actually0:07:50 rules it's artificial snow this is what0:07:53 they do in the bike0:07:56 so for us the Hubble you have a little0:07:58 cheap mill they give the recipe to the0:08:10 Cheesecake Factory0:08:11 [Laughter]0:08:14 sorry cool so go and tell us what your0:08:18 son said so we do it on a regular basis0:08:34 we go to the gym almost every single day0:08:36 so one day my son my my little son0:08:39 it's actually 705 he's like papa he0:08:42 interrupted the sign yeah everything0:08:48 happened because of something else he's0:08:51 telling me no past events led to this0:08:53 event then he told me and your son is0:08:55 like 8 years old there so that's what0:08:59 happens when you have a philosopher as a0:09:00 father and everything's gonna be ok0:09:07 I can tell you it has this innate sense0:09:10 that everything's okay everything is0:09:13 okay everything's gonna be okay I was0:09:15 really amazed because you know what they0:09:17 haven't had the time to be influenced by0:09:18 their environment as much as us or0:09:20 indoctrinated or school than a school of0:09:23 thought these are just as natural five0:09:24 circles0:09:26 it's incredible so that's the importance0:09:29 of reflection silence silence long0:09:35 period of time some people cannot stand0:09:37 silence the reason why people cannot use0:09:40 with sense science is because I believe0:09:44 a deep-seated fear of death all your0:09:48 anxieties come from your fear of death0:09:50 the last of me your fear of death you're0:09:54 constantly distracting yourself with0:09:55 coffee a movie if you see if I sit you0:09:58 in a room with no entertainment no0:10:01 danger no danger ergo entertainment some0:10:04 people will become mad0:10:06 you're gonna live your own personal0:10:08 health and that move and some people are0:10:11 gonna fight piece0:10:13 it depends how your mind is0:10:15 but people were constantly trying to0:10:18 distract themselves they're running from0:10:22 a particular health0:10:22 quiet quiet in silence when being with0:10:28 yourself ISM and sufferable insufferable0:10:30 you can't stand yourself there are some0:10:33 people they cannot have peace some0:10:35 people they call it intrinsic they can't0:10:37 stop talking and making noises it's a0:10:39 non-stop concert those people my opinion0:10:43 are uncomfortable with themselves and0:10:44 the idea of death because the second the0:10:46 second things are calm there's not0:10:48 having deep thoughts when you have deep0:10:50 thoughts one philosopher put it that0:10:53 said don't think we don't do philosophy0:10:55 if you don't want to see yourself look0:10:57 at yourself because you're going to see0:10:59 some type of ugliness and you're gonna0:11:01 have to deal with it that's why some0:11:03 people are so preoccupied they never0:11:05 want to have any kind of experience0:11:09 because they cannot stand themselves0:11:11 this is the truth if you look at all the0:11:14 stages the prophets the wise man they0:11:16 all have times of seclusion the Prophet0:11:19 indicator Jesus's wilderness Buddha0:11:22 under the tree there was always a period0:11:24 of time of apology a stigma Tesla Isaac0:11:32 Newton even even when we receive our0:11:34 culture there was a time word0:11:38 Sullivan when Isaac Newton wrote the0:11:40 three laws of motion he was hiding from0:11:42 the plane when Descartes wrote his0:11:45 meditations he spent he was isolated0:11:49 I spent alone in the cabinet they were0:11:50 all running from the plague disease yeah0:11:55 yeah you said you if you went away for0:11:56 ten years solitude is a very special0:12:01 case good leg of lamb before this guy0:12:03 was a vegetarian it's took about leg of0:12:04 lamb poutine how about you because I'm0:12:08 an ego this you got a translator here0:12:13 it looks better at this country0:12:20 [Music]0:12:28 got me through state can live and0:12:32 it's what you take when you take0:12:33 ourselves to the party0:12:35 and then we painted my god you're the0:12:37 authority get on the bike0:12:38 that was the hole0:12:40 so there's ago the communities enough0:12:44 I can say for the same thing and then I0:12:48 already is so just for the benefits of0:12:50 the tape so when we're talking about the0:12:52 Kartika canonicity which is that the0:12:57 fries come together and they want to0:12:59 canonize the Bible they want an0:13:01 authoritative text the main criteria is0:13:03 that is going to be the revelation of0:13:07 the text with a can on the Bible if0:13:09 agrees with our teachings but the whole0:13:11 point of pattern of canonization is that0:13:13 they had to find a text to you to derive0:13:16 evidence for the beliefs values and etc0:13:19 so you see the second argument to say0:13:21 what's authentic naturally does apply0:13:23 sometimes oh but the Holy Spirit was0:13:26 working the hemisphere was working they0:13:29 see the Holy Spirit was working and I0:13:31 have another argument with me where'd0:13:33 you get the idea the cause of the Holy0:13:34 Spirit from the Bible they get back into0:13:36 that nice angle0:13:38 [Music]0:13:40 this is the end of our to Abu Dhabi0:13:43 that's some strategic means in this0:13:46 important things for foreign-born people0:13:51 so this is it had some really0:13:55 interesting composition for us how did0:13:57 you know0:14:03 one student0:14:07 very simple insight on the parenting0:14:10 class again yeah yeah it's good but not0:14:15 and not not to be fair not many people0:14:17 can specialize in to areas like that no0:14:21 definite0:14:26 I always guys
