Spirit Science is the animated series that started it all. The show follows Patchman, a little multidimensional patch-doll who takes you on a journey into the unknown and begins a long discussion about what it means to be Spiritual.
Thoughts, Chakras, Sacred-Geometry, Astral Travel, and even Atlantis, through Spirit Science we look at all of these topics.
Most people don’t realize that there is a very powerful connection between Spirituality and Science. All of our modern scientific fields are slowly but surely coming full circle in understanding a very cosmic connection between all things.
All of the atoms, particles, plants, animals, humans, and galaxies, all function under very similar patterns and principles of existence. Through the understanding of these patterns, we can grow in awareness of who we really are, and where our place is in the cosmos.
Lesson Guide
Patchman begins your journey into the unknown with the basics. Thoughts, Emotions, and the power that they bestow upon you.
In this lesson, we take a look at Chakras, and how your body picks up energy on a vibratory level. Last week, a few people didn’t understand HOW thoughts affected you, but did you know that your body has a system for doing so?
We talk about one of the methods to communicating with beings of consciousness both higher, and lower than ourselves. We also talk about animal communication and how you yourself can also do it.
Lesson 4 – Male and Female Energy
This week we talk about two parts of an incredible whole, Male and Female. No, not gender, but energy. There are 3 parts to this one, First, Energy. Then we look at Brain Hemispheres, and then the Indigo Children and Super Psychics (Because i promised we’d talk about that after lesson 2).
Lesson 5 – The Keys of Our Past
In this lesson, we cover 3 topics, ranging from alien life, all the way to the precession of the Equinox. Human history is more than we know.
Hidden deep within our past, lies a secret that has been long forgotten. There have been various organizations throughout history that have protected its secret, The Masons for example have done just that. What are we talking about? It’s the ancient secret of the Flower of Life.
Patchman takes you on a quest to understand the dimensional levels, and where we are on that scale. We also take a look at some Particle Physics, and touch upon Leonardo Da Vinci!
In this video, lets get Meditational!
In this lesson we look at the phenomenon known as Astral Projection, and also other out of body states, dimensions, and even life and death! all wrapped up with a nice little surprise at the end :)
This week, we dive back into the Sacred Geometry pool to talk about spirals and sequences that all life strives towards, and at the end we look at the 2nd informational unraveling of the Fruit of Life.
Today, we look at the aspect that Consciousness plays in the role of Evolution, and the evolution that’s happening to us right now as a species on planet earth.
This is an addendum of Lesson 11, which covers what it means to activate your DNA, and evolve as a being of light!
Lesson 12 – The Human History Movie
Human History in review – 2 Years Later
The story of Human History is not what we know. Modern society tells us that we just evolved from monkeys thousands of years ago and now here we are. But if our evolution was so natural, why is everything so broken and screwed up? Through communication with Astral Entities, along with many ancient texts across all religions, as well as many other sources, we have begun to see our history is not what we know. This 5 part episode is the Human History story according to the Atlantean being known as Thoth. Now, were not saying “THIS” is what happened in our history. This is only Thoth’s perception of it. That may even lead us to ask, who is Thoth…?
– The movie was originally split into 5 individual parts, if you would like to watch them separately, these videos are here –
– Part 1 – Rise of Atlantis – – Part 2 – Atlantean Catastrophe –
– Part 3 – The Solution – – Part 4 – The Fall –
– Part 5 – The New Beginning –
This half-hour special is all about Crystals. What are they, what do they do, how do they work, in what ways can you use them, what is Orgonite and the Crystal Movement, and much, much more! This lesson goes into everything! We highly recommend checking it out and getting into Crystals!
-This episode was originally 4 parts long, you can see them separately here!-
~ Part 1 – What are Crystals ~ ~ Part 2 – Crystal Uses ~
~ Part 3 – Crystal Types ~ ~ Part 4 – Crystal Movement ~
Lesson 14 ~ Insights of Ascension
This lesson goes over the 9 insights of Ascension described in the book “The Celestine Prophecy”. The book follows the pathway from Waking up to becoming a consciously ascended being of love and light. Wake up, for the time is now. Also, check out the Celestine Prophecy if you have a chance!
Lesson 15 ~ Power of the Heart
The heart has an electromagnetic field that is 4,000x stronger than the brain! It also has its own neural-network of brain cells, as well as has the ability to change the world around you! You are a powerful being, and understanding the field around the heart has a lot to do with it.
One of the most frequently asked questions we get asked is “What do you think will happen with 2012?”. We thought the best way to shed light on the situation was simply to make a video about it! So without further ado, here is our 2012 video!
Lesson Mailbag: Meaning
Where is meaning found? What is meaningful in your life? In this episode, we discuss that very topic.
Lesson 17 – Universal Geometry
Consider this “The Flower of Life – Part 2”, we round out the Flower of Life discussion, and open up some new topics as well.
In this episode, we look more closely at how the platonic solids interact with the world, parallel realities, and a really cool painting :D
Lesson 19 – Cosmic Connections
Everything is connected. You are part of a hierarchy of awareness that you aren’t even aware of!!
What is Water? Why is it so crucial to life? Lets ask some questions about water, and see what we find out…
The Torus is one of the fundamental building blocks of all reality. How does it work?
Lesson 22 ~ The Light Movie (In Production)
Part 1 ~ EnLIGHTenment Part 2 ~ Cycles n’ Sine Waves
Part 3 ~ The God Particles Part 4 ~ Source Energy
If Light is the first form created, we should be able to map that out both scientifically, and spiritually…shouldn’t we?
This is a video response to some hecklers…. :P
This is extraordinary!!! thank you so much for your wealth of information. and also by teaching what you know with love and not by preaching! it makes this site one of a kind!!!! THanks <3
DIDNT KNOW WHY I WROTE THIS LAST NIGHT I NEED FEEDBACK
Your Highest level of consciousness only happens when u believe FULLY that u can be whatever you want to be in life. HAVING FULL BELIEF IN YOURSELF AND EVERY THING IN THIS Statement Simply … WHICH IS BASED ON FACTS MOST ALL OF US IN THE WORLD TODAY ALREADY KNOW. IF NOT ITS because YOU HAVE ALREADY UNKNOWLING created AN SYNTHETIC ( FAKE ) ILLUSION BEFORE READING THIS IN YOUR HEAD.. THE ONLY WAY WHICH IS A COMBINATION OF EVERYTHING IN THIS NEW WORLD ORDER it is important to take YOUR time to fully understand AND PRONOUCE every single WORD fully for WHAT IT ITS TRUE MEANING IS BASED ON YOUR (COMMON SINCE) WHICH IS ALREADY IN ALL OUR DNA REMEMBER WE ALL HAVE THE SAME DNA which means were all related some how and need to start supporting each other we choose our path individually but we can all WALK the same path ONLY by sticking together.. I FULLY BELIEVE I WAS THE CHOSEN ONE TO BACK ALL THE INFORMATION UP BASED ON THE MOVIE SAW AND PUTTING IT IN A WAY ALL HUMANS CAN UNDERSTAND or be told REMEMBER THIS IS ALL BASED ON COMMON KNOWLEDGE (COMMON SENSE FACTS WE ALL HAVE …IN ORDER FOR A FACT TO BE A FACT IT HAS TO BE BASED ON A PROVEN FACT WHICH IS ALL BASED ON BASIC COMMON SENSE KNOWLEDGE U ALREADY KNOW…WHICH IS BLOCKED BY ILLUSION LIKE in the film. some will understand this faster than others BASED FULLY ON YOUR TRUE LEVEL OF THE MEANING SKY IS THE LIMIT which Equals ( BELIEF ) SKY IS THE LIMIT IS A PHRASE MOST IF NOT ALL of us are familiar with WITCH IS PROVED IN THE VIDEO we all have watched THAT ANY OBSTICLES IN YOUR WAY STOPPING YOU from believeing FULLY in the meaning SKY IS THE LIMIT which equals (FULL BELIEFS ONLY) …. ARE ONLY THE ONES U CREATE FOR YOURSELF UNKNOWINGLY most of the time but if
Humans react off sound waves
Superstition, myths. Legends…are past thoughts
Random ancidote I went
Words used the wrong way or spelled the urban way.. also create illusion not just the word but the words that come after it also
Is believeing u know the answer to a question before someone says it an illusion…no because
thoughts come from your soul you actually feel them first then they travel to the brain to react the brain controls only the body which is only the shell… a person can express a thought within a split second so If u dont say the thought before or at the same and felt like u wanted to ….means u felt like saying it.. had time to express it..but u had some type of guilt or reason not to which actually created the illusion… that you were actually gonna say it when in reality u werent going to this proves YOUR FEELINGS create thoughts not your brain…. every human has atleast experienced this once… which is now a fact…. if any persons dont agree with that theres only three possibilities why…. they lied not to you but to themselves creating an illusion all on there own ….which if created… is like lieing to themselves unaware of it. Why does every human do it? Common since is in all our Brains its a fact. How? DNA common since can be tricky for some only because the illusion is the same in most humans which is.. We are born with it…which is an allusion we had to created by ourselves by never dicussing it. But also not forgetting it which also comfirms another fact from the video we watched. how ? Its clear now to me more than ever isnt it starting to make since… our DNA IS knowledge we were born with why? Well if u remember at the begining of the video which is basically the beginning of time we were all smart because we had more brain power thru wave links remember? If u halft to confirm this please…witch means a couple things #1Is thats the reason we dnt remember exactly where our human common since came from we didnt have enough of the female hormones to colaberate with which in the movie were depicked as purple (female) Blue (male) which means common since can turn something thats not fact (witch like i said earlier) into a fact also which i know for sure humans never thought of isnt it making since now? We have one god who is our father ..we are all related we have the same DNA and mother (Remember earth is our mother witch the movie didnt confirm) because since we just saw the movie not to long ago so it its impossible … this confirms the ending we never as a people knew our real history which confirms the obvious now!!! OUR COMMON SINCE WHICH WAS IN OUR DNA HAD TO BE PUT THERE FOR 2 REASONS AND 2 REASON ONLY DONT U GET IT NOW IT !!!!! GOD MADE US TO BE FREE THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT OUR GOD PLANTED THE DNA BECAUSE HE HAD A BACK UP PLAN FOR US HE WITCH JUST COMFIRMED HE IS A HIGER POWER THE GOV DIDNT EVEN BELIEVE. THERE WAS A REAL GOD BECAUSE. HE SNUCK BACK TO EARTH AN WAS REBORN REMEMBER AS U SAW IN THE VIDEO AND WE WERE TRICKED INTO BELIVEING WE COULDNT LEAVE EARTH WE THOUGHT WE WERE SLAVES YALL CONFIRMS ALSO WE WERE MENT TO BE FREE FOREVER AN ACTIVATE WHEN THE PLANETS ALIGN AND HE CHANNELD ME AN EVERYTHING NOT ONLY IN THE MOVIE BUT TO ME I KNEW IT I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHAT THE FIRST PURPOSE OF MY LIFE WAS AN THATS TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO CHANNEL THIS TO THE WORLD I KNEW GOD DIDNT MAKE PEOPLE TO DO ALL THIS BAD STUFF HE WAS REBORN A SECOND TIME TO SAVE US AGAIN!!!!!
THE REAL DEVIL WILL NERVER PREVAIL OVER THE HIGHER POWER PLUS HIS FAVORITE SON !!!
WERE FINALLY FREE EVERYONE TIME TO GO TO OUR REAL HOME
THIS LETTER CONFIRMS THAT ILL SEE ALL MY FAMILY SOON CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!
some of us don’t have the same DNA some of us have 3 or more DNA strands which makes us diff. indigo and super children what we have in common is life itself and what we want of it also some don’t have common sense they purely live life by not understanding and only following and doing what we already know is that we as ppl of higher enlightenment we try to mild the future generations on being able to live life in a better universe it almost becomes our duty as ppl to better everything within the flow of life ‘how we treat everything with the resonances of our being ‘ also remember everything is connected, if you flow in life everything will fall into place by itself so if everyone flows together all our dreams will come true lol
I REALLY LOVE this whole website, and I have shared many videos as well as articles from here. My friend introduced me to this a little over a year ago. I come here often and like to see what new things are up. My whole life I have spent reading and watching similar things, and it seems to me that this website synced it and everything came together. Since around 4th grade, my interest started with reading my horoscope everyday and then moved to learning about different horoscopes. There use to be a series in the theaters called “In search of” with Leonard Nimoy on different subjects from Loch Ness to UFOs. I also remember going to watch “Chariots of the Gods” several times. I was grateful when the TV series “Sightings” came on and watched it faithfully. I have read different books from Channeling,ESP, different eastern religions, pleiadians, Wicca,Chritianity, numerology, crystals, the list goes on. I have to say that this series of videos brought everything together for me as well as introduced me to other things. I can’t say I have “Mastered” anything but I have a little more than just basic knowledge in most of the thing I have studied (on my own). It has helped me to keep an open mind, it also helps me to find like minded people, or at least open minded people. Thanks for everything you do! Keep up the AWESOMENESS!!!!
Hey Jordan, Awesome !
Can you please provide HD format (mkv, mov) files for the whole series for download?
I’m sure millions all over the world will be benefited from this “offline”…
Lets change the world together in “anyway” we can which makes us feels “GOOD”…
For those hunger for MORE, try download “Bashar”, it will blow your Mind !
yea bashar is great. “my favorite? con artist” as someone mentioned.
WATCH INDIANA JONES KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULLS, not a day after finishing this season, i stayed with a friend who randomly suggested we watch this movie, i was pretty much flipping out the entire movie, its not all exact or so to say history, but it does put things in perspective.
Wow, i have always felt there was something special about me, but at times i am explosive and wired, i am so thankful to you jordan, i do not know you personally but you have helped me unravel the mystery of why i am the way i am, there is still more for me to unravel but you have my highest thanks and i hope to someday meet you in person.
Is there a way to talk to Thoth, or at least the creator of this website?
Also, i have always felt more left brained than the other way around but for awhile i felt like i was slipping away from that and into a more male oriented thought process, i became more physical than mental but i have slowly pulled myself out of all of that and i am now feeling myself go back to how i was as a child, there is much more i would like to talk about but i would like to talk in private first to the creator of the website, if you could email me?
Could you by any chance do a video on marijuana? good or bad? healthy or not? what it really does? if we were right in the first place? or just some new information to shed some light? thanks :D
yes please do! i think a lot of people would benefit for it….
If you’re wanting to talk to Jordan, emailing him is your best bet. He tries to keep open, but so many people try to contact him. He has his email posted somewhere here.
If you sit in meditation and focus your energy and work with your vibrations he will make himself readily available to you.
also for sure check out Drunvalo Melchizedek’s Ancient Secrets of the Flower of Life.
and if you want meditations to help you find Thoth specifically then you should check out Nicki Scully’s The Golden Cauldron: Shamanic Journeys on the Path of Wisdom
You are awesome
Hey jordan.i love you and appreciate your enthusiasm. But i shall write down my concerns about the what ive seen and what i think about spirit science. I certainly dont mind a cosmic religion. i love meditating, i love tai chi ect and i enjoyed the series to a point. Untill the part where it started remind me of a series called “ancient aliens” (a disgrace for history channel imo). Martian invasion? Nuclear war? 13 skulls (which btw no such legend exist)???. i hope from now on you would focus and promot the spiritual side rather than “science”. Because there is no a single think that would back it up. And i curteanly dont like that fact that you keep referencing books that have no scientific value at all. Its like trying to prove that demons exist based on bible only. I realise “Spirit science” is not a documentary but an inrtoduction to new age spirituality, but as exciting as may they(the whole “alien gods” stories) sound, most of them were made up recently (no more than 60-70 years) and have no bases as ancient legend or whatever. The “west” has a habit of taking what is in “east” and selling it to people by exaggerating it. I am not trying to be a smartass or negative here, just pointig out parts that shouldnt even be there. I know that those things wasnt put there as facts, but rather to add some “color” into the whole concept, but stories that wasnt around untill 50 years ago shouldnt be in your videos today, cuz they were created mostly by salesmen, not spiritual leaders. Good luck and have a wonderful week.
with love and respect,
sadiqa.
The nice thing though is that Jordan has the right to talk about and believe in anything he desires. So why not try taking what you enjoyed from it, and not worry about the things you might not agree with? Isn’t that the whole point of this website?
I agree
I meant to say I agree with Ganjjabar Roderick. To jbsadiqa, I happen to really like Ancient aliens, I have seen throughout my life different documentaries about aliens as well as read many books on similar subjects. Remeber also that “science” once said the world was flat and that the sun revolved around the Earth. Because the powers that be wanted it that way and wanted people to believe that. We know better now, and how do you know that the powers that be are not STILL supressing certain information? I have found more factual information that is more in line with what Jordon said than not. I have also found that it’s hard to see things when my mind is closed to it. I want to thank you Jordon for making AWESOME videos! :)
were you around 50 years ago? if so where did they get the idea, where did wherever they got the idea come from. An idea is a powerful thing and everything truth or lie comes from one original truth, i believe that all of our imaginations are connected and that they should not be taken as fake or what the definition of “imagination” is today. what i am trying to say is everything that we imagine is real, is truth, in one dimension/parallel universe/etc. or another, we are creators.
Love the video series, cant wait to see more. Reinforces lessons from some of my earlier mentors, the spirit scientists Rudolf Steiner and Dr Walter Russell. I made some films with children that I would like to share. Out of the mouths of babes comes great wisdoms, note where one child says “send the greedy rich people to mars to live on bread & water” ha back to where they came from… and note another childs answer to “where do you go when you die”? cool kids. see “Where Do You Go When You Die? https://vimeo.com/48858046
“Conspiracy” https://vimeo.com/51418690
“When I Grow Up” https://vimeo.com/14257134
hey Jordan,
i’ve been following the episodes since the beginning. i love the series. i remeber you mentioning that from season 1 that you were going to do a part 2 of meditation and lucid dreaming/astral projection and such. :) …i just cant wait anymore! lol no rush ofcourse. i know you are busy with panic to freedom.
i also wanted to know if you could do an episode on SENSORY DEPRIVATION,… or FOCUS(in general or at least a “how to” on manifesting things into our reality.),… or DANCING(i dont know,… i saw “men who stare at goats” and thought that it had some spiritual significance.)
This series is beautiful perfection- thank you for your service to humanity and this planet!
Do you know if something like this exists on the social justice level? I believe that truth is coming to us in two forms- 1. Spiritual Truth 2. Truth about the current world order. This is a perfect site to inform people about spiritual truth… do you know if there is a resources compiled in this way about the more “worldly” issues?
Thank ya!
What a fantastic series and gift to humanity (:{D thanks for all of your hard meaningful work. Are you guys developing any training materials or programs… And, how/what is your financial components. Are you going to sell this stuff or are you just giving humanity a gift? I am all for the gift… Just not used to getting such a gift for free. I am delighted and grateful. Would love to learn/see/experience more. Thank you!
hey guys im new to site..! how often do the new vids come out…?
:D
that’s a mystery, dude…..
I was wondering if I was the only one who couldn’t see the Lesson 1 video? I couldn’t find it on you tube either. I wanted to go in order.
Hey, Patchman, I have an important question: Where do you stand on meat consumption? I ask because I’ve been having a difficult time lately deciding what is right. At first, I tried going vegetarian; it was simple enough and I got away from meat cravings, but my research shows that although I can live without meat, I won’t necessarily been fully healthy. So instead I’ve been sticking to what I call “positive energy meat.” I’ve grown up in very prominent hunting areas, and every hunter I know tries to make as clean a shot as possible. (Even if the hunter doesn’t care about the animal, more stress and suffering to the animal means bad tasting meat.) I stay away from all seafood (since there’s not really a humane way to kill a fish or crustacean). Basically, I need to find my peace with eating while still being healthy AND causing less suffering. I’d really appreciate your help. Namaste!
Hey,I’m not Jordan, but I do know a few things about nutrition. What research did you read that said not eating meat is unhealthy? I’m no nutritionist, but I have worked at a supplement store so I know a little about the science of nutrition. If it has to do with that “incomplete proteins” business, there are a lot of misunderstandings about that. Assuming you didn’t eat meat but did eat animal products, you still have four (technically five) available sources of complete protein. Those are: whey, caesin, (both from dairy products) egg protein, and soy. The “fifth” complete protein is to combine protein from two “incomplete” proteins to make a complete protein. This can be something as simple as combining black beans and rice, or peanut butter and wheat bread. Vegans only have the last two options available, so things get much more difficult if you are trying to go that route, but it is doable. (Just don’t do that crazy all fruit diet).
It varies greatly from person to person based on factors like gender, weight, and level of activity, but the range of protein needed can be anywhere from 40 grams to 160 grams daily. The biggest challenge for vegetarians is getting that much protein, but if you aren’t vegan, you can always buy protein supplements, and even vegans can buy soy protein supplements. If you do eat meat, venison is a great, lean healthy option.
As far as the ethics of eating meat are concerned, I guess I would kind of agree with you on hunted meat. The thing is, hunting does help to control deer overpopulation. Every time you kill a deer you’re also keeping the population small enough that there is a decreased chance of sickness among deer. There is also a decreased chance that they will wander out of the woods into roads and such due to lack of food, which of course means less car accidents for people. So I guess it’s a trade off. You’re taking the life of an animal, but by doing so, you’re also kind of keeping people safe.
Thanks so much for replying. :D Yes, I already researched about proteins and understand where I can find them. My real concern is about fat. Haha, yes fat, and I don’t mean buns and thighs. What I’m talking about is Visceral fat. You see, there is a reason why our organs aren’t sitting in a pile at the bottom of our torsos; visceral fat is the fat that surrounds our organs, holding them together and insulating them. Now if you look it up online you’ll find an abundance of websites stating how dangerous it is and how to lose it… etc. etc. but with anything else, moderation is key (as we would die if we didn’t have any). From what I understand though, is that you can only get/maintain this fat by consuming a certain lipid found only in animal fat. Am I incorrect about all of this? I am open to answers and willing to research further. Thanks so much!
Hey, I did a little more research after you mentioned this, and I found that your body requires two essential fatty acids: Omega 3 and Omega 6. The main sources of those come from fish products, as well as flaxseed (linseed), hemp oil, soya oil, canola (rapeseed) oil, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, leafy vegetables, and walnuts, if you are a vegetarian.
However, there is a catch. From Wikipedia: “Plant sources of ?-3 contain neither eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) nor docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).” Both of these can be made from the essential fatty acid Omega 3, but synthesizing those fatty acids uses up more of the Omega 3s, and requires more metabolic work. So basically, for vegetarianism to work well for you, as far as getting healthy amounts of fatty acids, you really need to eat a high amount of the above mentioned foods, or else you risk an omega 3 deficiency. Of course, the deficiency mainly just causes a form of dermatitis, or a skin rash.
Does that help at all or am I totally missing the mark?
I registered just to reply to this comment. I’ve watched the Spirit Science series (1-15) on YouTube twice now, and while I’m not inclined to believe EVERYTHING I read or hear, anywhere, I enjoyed Spirit Science 1-15 very much. Having studied Taoism for 11 years, many of these concepts are familiar to me. I’ve been vegetarian for the past 9 months…and vegan for the last 2. The original commenter writes of stress, fear, and suffering tainting the meat…you don’t think that happens with eggs, cheese, and especially milk? Eggs, cheese, and milk are probably OK to consume a few times a week if it’s coming from your chickens and cows in your pasture that are never tortured and slaughtered. As a vegan for 2 months, I’ve never had more energy or felt better in my life. I’ll probably eat eggs again in the future…from the small farm up the street. But to write for a “Spirit Science” website and saying it’s OK to kill deer because “Every time you kill a deer you’re also keeping the population small enough that there is a decreased chance of sickness among deer.” If that’s true…then human beings need that more than anything else. Right? Just replace the word “deer” with “people” in your statement above. You have no credibility or right to speak on spiritual matters if you’re still eating meat. Unless, of course you’re ready to rethink how you reply to the killing of an innocent animal and the eating of meat on your Spirit Science website. Or maybe you should just let Jordan answer next time?
First of all ShhBrad, I want to sincerely thank you for the comment. It was thought-provoking to say the least, and honestly the truth of many of the things you said did make me stop and think about what I’m saying here.
I’m going to start with the comments I know I can address and work my way inward to the tougher questions.
On me not having the credibility or right to speak on spiritual matters: I am not a guru. I’m a seeker, and I am human…and so is Jordan. He himself has said something similar, in fact. I do not purport to have all the answers. You’re right about me having no real qualifications. I think when Jordan started Spirit Science, his qualification was that he read a book “The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life.” and that was enough to set him off on a spiritual journey. Myself, I’m a guy who’s has read up on spiritual topics, Buddhism, philosophy and the like, and wanted to share the knowledge that I had, so I asked Jordan if I could write a column for him, and he said yes. I cannot stress enough that while I help people learn, I myself am still learning, and sometimes, I am wrong. Am I in this instance? Well, I’m still trying to figure that part out. I believe that as long as we keep open communication, we learn from everybody, not just the masters, and I want to thank you a second time because I am learning from you.
As for letting Jordan answer, I would not have answered in his stead if I thought he had the time to do so. You see, he is a very busy guy. Between traveling, running a website, writing cartoons, occasional forum visits, working on his own spiritual development, answering the floods of emails he gets, and so on, there’s a good chance he just doesn’t get to see all the comments and questions on his site.
I also tend to see my role on this site less as an adviser or guide and more of a knowledge provider. I usually endeavor to just share what I’ve personally learned, and leave the opinion-making to those who read what I have say. I do this because, I don’t really feel it is my right to tell people what is right or wrong. Morality itself just seems like such an ambiguous thing to me. I obviously failed in that regard this time around and let out some words that sounded awfully like an opinion (“In regards to the hunted meat, I kind of agree with you.”) when really I meant to express a more neutral “I understand where you’re coming from” kind of thing.
Striking at the heart of the matter, I don’t know if it’s okay to kill deer or not for food. I can tell you, however, that nothing I said after that was false. When you kill deer, you are shrinking the population and reducing the need for deer to look elsewhere for food, and that in turn, does prevent collisions with deer. More deer do get sick, because that is what nature does when a population increases. It’s a natural check on populations.
And the thing is, you are 100 percent correct in your comment “JUst replace deer with people in the statement above.” On the one hand, it’s utterly abhorrent to even think about doing such a thing to people. I could honestly never think of doing such a thing. On the other hand, the human population is massively exploding in number. With every new child born, there becomes more of a need for food and fresh water, more pollution, more economic strains, more disease, suffering and death as a whole on earth. Let’s say a doctor finds a cure for cancer. He’s a hero, right, because he’s saved all those people from the horror that is cancer, yet at the same time, by saving all those lives, he’s contributed to the overpopulation problem, and down the road that’s going to cause horrors in of itself. Or let’s say the U.S. decides to start funding the production of mosquito nets coated in DDT to help protect people in Africa from mosquitos that carry Malaria. That’s a noble cause, right? Except now, when the nets are washed in the rivers, it brings pollution to the rivers and that, in turn kills the fish, makes people sick, etc. If you knew a future Hitler was going to be born, would you intervene? Would you kill someone if you knew it was the only way to save the lives of others? I’m not asking these questions because I know the answers. I’m asking them because they trouble me, they always have.
My only real point in all of this is that there’s always a trade-off, always. You can try and try to do the right thing, but inevitably you find yourself on the horns of a dilemma, and if you try too hard to resolve it, you’ll only find yourself driven to madness. Is eating meat the good or right thing to do? I don’t know. I refuse to touch the question with a ten-foot pole, because I prefer to keep my sanity.
I apologize if the last few paragraphs in this comment came off as harsh. Maybe you have some insight I am missing. These are all things experience has taught me, and I want to learn from you, all I can. Perhaps you want the same. In either case, I want you to know that I am completely earnest when I say that I wish you utter happiness.
Just wanted to toss my own opinion in on the ethics of eating meat:
In my opinion, humans have as much “right” to kill and eat meat as any other creature on the planet – perhaps more, if we help provide those animals an easy and/or pleasant life beforehand. I have no problems at all with our killing and consumption, only with cruel conditions and overall environmental harm that we often cause in the process.
That being said, there is a stage in spiritual development in which we are highly sensitized to the empathic emanations of foods we consume, and this effect is stronger as the food source becomes closer to (and thus more in tune with) our own physical bodies. During this period, being vegetarian, or even vegan, might be essential to our emotional well-being. Follow your own path and guidance, and all will be well, but be aware that not everyone is at that stage and dealing with those issues.
My own hypersensitivities, at the moment, are in a stage that would make some view me as very non-spiritual, since they involve many of the herbs and spices most commonly thought of as cleansing and helpful to spiritual paths.
Be well, Friends
I want to thank you all so much for your responses. They have helped a lot. :)
LWW: No, you didn’t miss the mark. You explained a very good piece of what I was looking for, and I’m glad that you [more fully] understand my predicament (ie., I want to be as healthy as I can be, but with the least suffering as possible.). I will continue to meditate and research for answers. So thank you. <3
ShhBrad: Dude, we're all humans here and only trying to seek answers and peace(or else we wouldn't be on this site). So relax. :) And as with the hunting thing, I know a great deal of hunters and the importance/benefits of hunting for both humans AND animals. LWW is correct about the overpopulation thing. A very good example is of the rabbit problem down in Australia. There has been a HUGE rabbit overpopulation problem down there since the early 1800's with negative effects that include soil erosion problems and the dying out/ extinction of several species of plants and animals. One of my main goals in life is to find balance in all aspects in my life (or as much of it as possible). I seek not to harm or unreasonably consume animals, I wish Love and Peace to all. At the same time, however, I want to be the best I can be (for myself and others) and take care of me. I seek to find that balance that benefits ALL who breathe. May peace be with you. <3
Thank you so much. May these postings help others who are having the same questions about this matter. :) Namaste!
You certainly helped me a lot. Thank you all for being here and now :D
Man… You are a genius. You’re bringing a lot of enlightenment to many people. God bless you and may infinite intelligence reward you for all this… You’re accomplishing a great mission! Thank you.
I love this series! I learned a lot about myself and the world. I love this website! I come here every day! AWESOME SERIES! Please continue with your work! I look forward for the next video :)
Dear Jordan,
Can you make another history video? Of all your videos, I find that one the most interesting and fun to watch (no offence, I just love stories)
I know you are busy, and I appreciate all of the work you put in :) <9
I cant even put in to words how much this show has helped me. Thank you, and keep up the good work!!!
Could you please do a video on self-healing?
You mentioned it in your first lesson and said you would save that for another video :)
Thank you for all the wonderful work and joy you’ve brought into my life.
This website truly gives me hope.
Namaste
