Buddy, I hate to break it to you, but almost no one is ever going to just watch a 10 minute video. Cad was asking for a tl;dr, and he was right to do so.

I made the claim that the mind alone can effect a random number generator. That is the TL: DR. This is a true claim. If you want a description and explanation of the experiments that were run, watch the video. He wasn’t looking for a TL: DR, he said he was looking for proof. Sorry, but I’m just not goi g to be able to explain how quantum fields of consciousness work in a paragraph nor do I or anyone else fully understand them nor will I ever be able to satisfy the shifting goals posts of what he would consider “proof”.

I think there will be a gradual shift more and more towards mysticism and cultivating a personal relationship with God in all the major world religions as time goes on. God Lives in each and every one of us, there is absolutely no need for religious leaders or cult figures. We can all communicate with him on our own. In fact, I think it is extremely dangerous to sub-contract out our spiritual guidance to other men and women and it leaves us vulnerable to manipulation. Meditation and other more traditionally Eastern practices will be incorporated into Western religions as the general public learns more and more about consciousness, the fundamental nature of reality, and the fact that we are all One.

This is a very naive understanding. God does live in each and every one of us. That part is absolutely true.

Are there people out there who are more devoted to God than you? More intelligent than you? Wiser than you?

If there are people who devote all of their energy to understanding God are they not worth listening to? Is anyone out there worthy of being your teacher about anything? As the principle applies to any subject.

If you are unable to properly articulate or defend a statement, just admit to it when questioned. Offloading it to someone who only you consider an authority on the subject renders it a moot point. That is part of talking about philosophy and religion. Your POV is yours, and you know it's not one people are going to share. If you don't want to be challenged on it, don't be putting it on FOH.

Cad is a lawyer. He is argumentative for a living. He was being civil about it. If you can't handle the gentlest push back, you may want to rethink this enterprise.
