Racing up my list of favourite reactors, you put such thought and contemplation into your reactions, and really try to understand what Ren was trying to say with each line. Still think the velvet smoking jacket and a wood fire burning behind you would be both funny but also soothing

Love this song and especially love the internal conversation it strikes up up in anyone reacting to it. It always seems to make it a far deeper reaction than most set out to make :D .. i think most people go through asking these questions of their faith... believer or not 👍👍

These days I’ve been thinking that since Extinction is the Final end of all things. A natural phenomenon…why stress about anything 😊❤Ren

Ren's music has a way of making you think about all the big questions in life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Great reaction video as always Izzy

Just how did we develop such like minds Izzy? I'd probably break your comment section.❤ Regarding "Did we choose?" Book for thought. Life Between Lives, by Micheal Newton Phd. For me: Religion...no Personal God ...no Spirit of Source is everything,everywhere Yes, we choose always because OUR spirits are way bigger than our 3 dimensional existence now on earth. Spirit is forever. Meditation, nature, music, love are our portals ti the infinite. Absolutely loved this reaction. Sending you a hug,just because. Plan huge my friend ! Why the heck not?

Thanks Frances! Glad to have you here! I'll add that book to my list. Sending you a hug back! Stay cool!

Always love hearing you ponder the universe while listening to ren 🥹🤗💜💜

I love your response to the question of why you became an actor. As far as I am concerned the answer is yes, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. When we ask if we chose to come into this world for this experience my answer would be not the "me" I usually identify with on a day to day basis but the identity hidden behind the day to day "me" who struggles with suffering and pain. I can relate to many of the struggles Ren has experienced. Many of us can. In my view it is this hidden self, this selfless self who decides what kind of life we live. So, not a nonsense idea. You keep coming up with interesting questions like, "What is spirit made of?". After pondering this for decades I was given the answer by a female voice that said "This is my Shen". I was just in the process of waking up when I heard those words. Over the years I have found that the space between awake and asleep is sacred. We pass through a membrane of pure, simple consciousness in a split second and normally we don't notice it. On this occasion I did. That word, "Shen" is usually translated from Chinese as spirit but many translate it as consciousness. In that moment, as I awoke, I knew that spirit and consciousness are identical. I also knew that a more correct translation is "Eternal Presence". This, in my view, is the presence within all of us which is the source of our deepest identity, our soul, our spirit. I have to add that I have almost no knowledge of the Chinese language. The only authority I have is my own experience. Thanks Izzy.

Love your thoughtfulness in reacting to the videos. We really don’t know why we are here but maybe we are here to work on our souls curriculum. We chose aspects to work on before we come into a life but because we are in the human realm there are many opportunities to Not complete our goal for this life. If we create situations that cause others to not be able to complete their life goals , we must repeat that relationship to correct. So if we are mindful of our actions, words, and beliefs we have a much better opportunity to move ahead. Whether or not this is an actual strategy for my soul, this belief has helped keep me grounded in my journey through my 79 years in this life’s cycle. Love your reactions.

They're one of my favourites!

“God” is such a painful and complicated subject for me. I was abused from a very early age in every way imaginable by my father. I survived that and lived an “okay” existence for 12-13 years. Then I was hit with autoimmune problems and have been struggling with that for almost 20 years. I would have brief periods of functionality, but then get knocked off my feet again. That’s autoimmune for you. Now, I’m pretty much trapped in an endless period of pain and suffering that I can’t find my way out of. It feels like I’m just waiting to die. My heart stopped recently for no reason, and they can’t figure out why. I’m not overweight. I crumpled to the floor and landed poorly. My ankle broke in three places and I was lucky they could save my foot. I had to be life flighted out to a nearby city. My heart stopped a second time on the flight. They want me to get a pacemaker, and I have yet to agree to that. I’m 52 years old. I don’t want to lose my only escape route. I know that sounds terrible, but I have Devon. He’s my 20 year old son. Removing myself from the equation of life is not an option. Needless to say I’m an Agnostic. I’m very spiritual, though. I’ve always been down with nature. I’ve never said no to a spring orphan (skunk, raccoon, squirrel, owlet etc). I’ve rescued so many babies🤗. I just don’t ever get to be in nature anymore, life. I have a hard time believing I chose this, though. I’ve really enjoyed pondering this unanswerable question with you. Great reaction, Izzy. 😉❤️✌️

Pain hasn’t let up for about 7 months. The ankle didn’t help things at all. I don’t know how we could arrange to talk, but you might. I’m here if you need me. I’m awake a majority of the time. The pain affects my ability to sleep, and when I do sleep I usually wake up in more pain. Ha🫂❤️✌️

Hello my friend Izzy!!!....Believe me this: You have to react to this Incredible Singer with the Most Insane Vocal Range of The World!!!...When I recommend Dimash to experts like you, sometimes they laugh and they look at me with that look that says "Have you gone crazy?...Nobody can sing like that"....And I smile and tell them "Do you want to bet your car?"...Of course after they hear him their faces say it all!!...Lol!!...They can't believe what they are seeing and hearing!!....So well, I want to invite you to make a reaction to this incredible singer, who is leaving all the experts with their jaws literally on the floor....In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"... In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"!!....Since then all this madness began on the internet, KZread and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano, which allows him to reach all registers, both masculine and feminine, that is, he can sing as Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contratenor, Contralto, Mezzosoprano and Soprano...You can see in KZread to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true!!...In addition to all this, Dimash is capable of singing in more than 12 languages...In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide!!!....Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you!!...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...kzread.info/dash/bejne/lHiMlaihndy0kcY.html

I recorded a reaction to this but didn't post it. It wasn't for me. Impressive range, yes. But it didn't make me feel anything and I didn't feel the reaction was worth posting. Glad you dig it though and it gives you joy.

I listen to your accent...does my head but I am from West Yorkshire which is hated...sorry but just one point above yours..you like Ren...that's enough me ❤❤

I think the idea of a mark or sin is overthinking. I think we are all born with knowledge of what we are doing at any given time is right or wrong. We know when we are going to sin before we do it. Then we decide to commit to the sin anyhow..... Love your knowledge and reactions brother keep it up!!

Thanks, David! I would say, different people have different ideas of what sin actually is, depending on all sorts of variables in their life.

It’s not tough. We’ve been backsliding since “The Enlightenment”. Supernatural shit doesn’t exist. Take care of human beings and all is good.

I’ve heard sin is simply separation from God. Anyhow It’s a rollercoaster ~ enjoy the ride!

Thanks Jonathan! I'm not a gamer, but I'll look into this. Sounds interesting. Nice one!

Izzy, I like watching you jump between order and chaos. this might be a long comment and sorry if it sounds like preaching, that's not my intent. You hit on several things I am passionate about. The beginning is awesome because it is so real. When we call out to God, it is often with confident unsurety. We know we are speaking to something, but not sure what or what good it will do. Speaking out our sins allows us to accept our humanity. / For those of us that believe in God, then doing what we believe is God's will for us is the "highest" mark. / Ren's journey has helped him to achieve heaven on earth. Your comment on living in the present is reflective of my understanding of Heaven on earth. Heaven is when we are fully seated inside of God's will. God is present in the past, present, and future. The only place we are able to meet him is in the present. When we live in the present without fear, resentment, or self-pity we are as whole as we can be in that moment. / On "everything is God," I believe God is being itself. / I have also, lived that "dark night of the soul." It has been the greatest equalizer in my life. I didn't understand humility until I came out of it. Time to time I dip back some, but knowing what spiritual solace feels like keeps hope in sight. / Thanks for the great open reaction.

Hi. I wrote and deleted a lot of verbiage on choice, religion, etc because the YT comment section isn't conducive to having these discussions. Suffice to say your reaction and thoughtful comments got me again thinking through some of the ideas Ren included in this track, so thank you for that. I'm glad you came out the other side and are making outrageous plans. 🌟🩵
