What a mind!!!
Contentment is better than happiness as it is a calming feeling!
I believe the bible and in God
Brother Jauffre? Is that you?
He smoked a pipe So he was addicted to tobacco Then his message was contaminated also
why is there a picture of Lewis smoking?
They used a photograph of him with his pipe. The smoke is like Aslan , though . Rather strange.
I’ve given up on happiness. It’s caused me so much misery. Ironic. I’m in my 30s and yet to have any meaningful romantic relationship. I give up because it’s not in God’s plan for me to have a relationship. I won’t question why anymore. I’m released from this desire.
He's really missing the point, isn't he? Reducing the idea of deserving love and a healthy relationship to a mere sexual instinct. Too many people stay in abusive relationships because their partner can’t regulate their emotions like an adult.
Hello everybody, I’m New Christian channel with content everyday, follow for the journey, and remember to be thankful everyday!
'...leads into that typically Jewish prison of self righteousness' which Christ so often rebuked. And still, those people are dying in Gaza...
First TWO minutes!! Listen to just that! & you’ll immediately know this man, C.S. Lewis to be an intellectual giant! His grasp of language, and ability to articulate and communicate so effectively on a subject. (A subject, that I myself personally, have have suffered much toil) as I too was once a teacher!! His writing never ceases to AMAZE!!
Jaufree? Is that you?

Is that supposed to be c Lewis smoking a pipe no way
A classic case of the hero being a villain and every boogie man turns out to be innocent and evil country's harbor terrorists we never seem to. Find but they never lack in loot hmmmmm
Who is the reader?

About 10 years ago I found these on CD
Is this CS Lewis himself speaking on the tape?
Bring back the C.S lewis doodle version
And a woman has to be gracious to all
He must increase but I must decrease. John 3:30
Generation can be understood also as a new generation of cars f.i. So i think Jesus refers to a time of a new humanity in the flesh and in the soul: Thy Kingdom come!
A refusal to see .... many critics online cannot be corrected by argument. We need this when reading 'comments' on videos on KZread :-) I must remember!
Where did you get the voice of the elder scrolls oblivion npc?
Could someone please explain to me what he refers to as the "Tragic Dilemma" aswell the Partial Solution? I'm having a difficult time understanding what he's trying to convey.
Straw man argument. C. S. Lewis adds nothing to one's emotional or intellectual life. A mere casuist, that's all he was.
Repent.

Compare this with Thomas Nagel's Whar it ia like ro be a bat.
Vivisection is just the tip of the iceberg of the cruelties and abominations done and unleashed. They've made genetically engineered monsters and pathogens like Sars and certain syphilises. They stuck severed chimp heads onto other chimp bodies and reanimated the brains. They've cloned sheep and grow meat in vats. They seek to engineer extinct species. Now they seek to make neural link brain chips to link all your information and bank accounts.
C s Lewis wasn’t a Christian. He believed in purgatory and went to confession. Do your research before trusting ur souls eternity to them
Fewer, better, and shorter hymns. Lol
Dude is spot on, but must seem hopelessly anachronistic to the jaded, hedonistic/anhedonic youth of today.
Fascinating essay . C.S. Lewis a very special man. He takes very difficult issues and wants talk about them. Allowing his listener to think and grow intellectually. 'GOD sent' indeed was he.
I agree with all this except for one thing: most women do care tuppence about our looks. If not, you would more often see female 10s with male 3s in the looks department. But they`re more the exception than equally matched couples looks-wise
Its a shame its badly read by an ai. I couldn't engage with the words they run to close together in an expressionless tone
Not an ai. Read by a close friend of Lewis.
I disagree with C. S. LEWIS
Animated sex
A jewel!!
I was a Moslem and Islam only condemned me. I was swapping between sin and repentance until I built my own version of God and put it in back burner. I started investigating science, quantum theory and found science has no clue about life and in all fairness it doesn’t claim it either. Then I started spirituality, a Hawaiian practice called Ho’oponopono. During all this, I was an anxious person, worried, bursting into rage from time to time and very much addicted to sex. Until I was lead to Christ. Someone (my son) insisted I should look into Jesus and while I was hating everything about religion, I was extremely impressed by the character of Jesus of Nazareth. I had never seen anybody liked him. This lead me to read New Testament more thoroughly and I was confronted with Jesus claims about Himself. They were big claims and it took my a while to give up finding a flaw. At last I accepted Jesus as God and as The Son of God and that change my life. Immediately I felt the sensation of a fire in my chest and from that moment on I can’t have enough of Jesus. I am a new person. I never lie, I never cheat, I never look at porn and I have become a loving husband, father, friend, brother and so. And non of this is intentional. Christ change my life. I love Him with all my heart and I’m happy to give my life for Him.
Do you state your credentials anywhere here before taking on the role of preacher? Your premise doesn't ring true somehow. Reassure us ...
I look at conversations today and how completely dumbed down they are among the cosmopolitan man. I listen to Lewis and I am starting to see why he is such a great writer in Christian commentary
It’s flipped from those days. Women still lose in the long run, but they do it to themselves and abandon good men who love them. Over 70 percent of divorce is initiated by women, with a significant proportion of those for this very reason alone. And now, young white men are 70 percent of all suicides. Leading causes? Divorce, Relationship breakdowns, displacement of the traditional male role, and alienation from their children. Our society can not stand this onslaught.
Enjoyed! Ease up on the ads some, just friendly criticism 🙂

What will help us through the black night of Civilization ? We cannot go back to a Medieval childlike Christianty however much it is in our blood-certainly not at the point of a gun. And people are only too happy to murder over points of dogma. How to keep the baby and dump the all too dirty bath water is the question.
A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE. during September 1970.. Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
Summary: "We don't know everything. Let's create a god to explain everything."
Oof great summary

I’ve lined up here since little as a Christian. I had set me apart from modern church and my family and society but I stand still because God has shown and proven himself to me and has always been working in and thru me in an odd way the world cares not for. It’s getting harder in many ways but he is still holding me in his hand, I’m not sure why sometimes but it is his will not mine. Long suffering is a verse the modern church just skipped along with all the verses of suffering. The old testament is as relevant as the new. This world proves its blindness and silliness still everyday…….i do my best but fall short for I am not Christ just trying to run my race and finish it. Love you Lord my only real friend and father.
