Deep Freethought Videos by Darryl Sloan - Very Genuine!

Postby Scepcop » 03 Oct 2010, 17:19

Darryl Sloan is one of the most aware freethinkers on YouTube. A true European intellectual (Irish), he is the ideal type of person to have a deep conversation with over a campfire or near a warm fireplace. His deep thought videos are very stimulating and thought provoking, as well as sincere. He is very much worth listening to. Here are some of his videos.

Adversity in nature vs. oneness

Description:

The entire natural world operates on a principle we might call "adversarial," in that one thing requires energy from another thing in order to survive. How does this fit with the spiritual understanding that behind the universe everything is one? Should we learn to transcend our natural egos in favour of loving everyone and everything, or is there perhaps nothing wrong with us just as we are?



Here is a deep dissertation by Darryl Sloan about "oneness".

Winston... pick up a copy of James Redfield's CELESTINE PROPHECY... it taught the exact same thing this clown is saying 20 some years ago and Redfield "borrowed" the ideas from even older sources. Yes, it is a plausible scenario, one that can aid folks in developing a better understanding of the self and how we interact with all things and how all things teach us. But one must also employ the rest of this MetaPHYSICAL ideology -- I emphasize "physical" because we live in what our mind believes to be, a tangible/physical realm and thus, we must EXIST HERE AND NOW not on some fantastic plane of emotional departure.

BALANCE is the key behind it all and sadly, those that become overly fascinated by rhetoric of this sort, the conspiracy crapola, etc. is not displaying any hint of balance. The surprising (for most) thing is that the majority of atheist (and I'm not speaking of the fanatics) actually do express the kind of serenity and zen-like attitudes all of these New Age clones charge folks to learn about and develop.

After you read the aforementioned book, get the workbook that goes with it and work the steps... then, if you believe you're gaining some clarity on things, track down a Buddhist cleric and start moving down that road. I think you'll find that the world isn't as terrible and terrifying or even as filled with boogiemen, as you presently focus on. ;)

Gosh, skip the Celestine prohesies, and go straight to buddhism, if you want to go down that road. Buddhism actually has a pretty skeptical approach.

The focus of this thread should be whether the man in the video be considered a "TRUE SKEPTIC" (as OP claims), or not a skeptic at all (at least from what we know of that video) as I have claimed. I stand to be corrected, but on a site devoted to exposing pseudo-skepticism, if this guy is the standard of what a skeptic actually is, then the whole site is completely off kilter and in bizarro land.

I'd have to agree with you there, this site does tend to be far more a billboard for conspiracy theories and paranoia at times... some of it just a bit too "out there" but as they say, that's just my take on things. :roll:
