Posted by RiverJordan - January 14th, 2013


Hey everyone!

I made a new video about the universe.

In the past, I've made videos about Sacred Geometry, Ancient Tablets, Frequency and Vibration, and Thoughts, and now we bring it home with LIGHT!

Spirit Science 22 ~ Enlightenment
(And this is only part 1, were gonna get even more sciency as we go on)

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it :)

OH! Here's some frequently asked questions by NG people as well

Q1. Do you have an explanation to why nothing happened on Dec 21st?
A1. Why did you believe anything would happen? I'm trying to get you to think for yourself, and I never said that anything would NOR did i say to believe something would. I DID share that there was a possibility that something could, and that we'd have to wait and see.

Seems like a lot of people had some really powerful transformative experiences, I've talked to a lot of people who have. I did too, but it wasn't something that manifested in the mass scale or something that the news reported on, and that's okay too :)

Q2. Is Spirit Science a cult?
A2. Nope! I made a video about what it IS!

Q3. Are you ever going to make Exile again?!!?!?!?!?!
A3. I would love to! It's on my list once I create a studio for myself with an awesome team of awesome people who want to make awesome things! :)

Later you beautiful people!

Did you know patchman's a real person? See, here's a picture to prove it!

The new SS on Light was well done! Glad you stuck in a segment about our recent past, and what modern schools are doing to our young people - perspective is important!

Didn't you say something was going to happen on December 21st, 2012 in one of your videos?

Absolutely nothing happened.

I discussed the possibility!

I never say anything is absolute though :)

You're a crazed man. What other explanation is there for that goatee

There cannot be one :P

Good sir, I think you're full of crap

Anything is possible. Is there some part in particular that confuses you?

Hey man, granted I thought about the whole 2012 theories. And to be perfectly honest, having a whole 'ascension' thing that reflects the 'rapture' to me doesn't sound very ethical.

Because people who are wise need to share their wisdom. People who can heal emotionally, physically, or spiritually need to stay and help.

And if you take all the happy people away, the world's just going to be worse than ever.

I just finished watching "The Lorax" now my favorite movie. Its true, we need to be the change if we are ever going to make this world better.

"Best way to change the world is to first change yourself" Right?

---

Though to be perfectly honest, I did feel a slight inebriation feeling when the clock hit my time zone.
Course I was also listening to my Binary-Beats called "Oxytocin" :P

Welcome back home sir. NG misses you.

Thank you Jak! I always love reading your comments :)

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really do miss the old you. I feel like you did all of this, went on this journey, because you didn't feel like you had a purpose, you felt lost and meaningless, and this gave you meaning.

Which is fine, but something feeling true doesn't make it true. You've always been open minded, and you still say anything's possible. It's great that this makes you a happier person and makes you feel better, but I'm legitimately worried one step will take you somewhere else, and that will take you to another place. You first started with this stuff by reading one book your mom gave me, you told me.

It's evolved into this from there. The deeper you go, the more you are willing to accept. If you stand back and look at your final answer, like, for example "Reptillians existed", which has almost no basis in evidence, it's insane. It makes sense collectively when you've taken baby steps there, you say "oh, of course", but please dude, for the sake of your own well being, from the bottom of my heart from one human being to another, stand back and look at this.

Don't say things like "i used to think this was crazy but now I've seen the light", or something to that caliber. You're intelligent enough to not believe this, we both know that. I really hope it's a phase you're going through. If I would've talked to you three years ago and told you crystals healed cancer, you would've given me a grocery list of Science shooting that down. You would've looked at James Randi debunking that and taken it as at least a little bit of proof.

I was never really friends with you, but we talked enough that it actually saddens me to see another human who, at one point, was perfectly skeptical and open minded. Open minded is NOT falling for magic that sounds cool and makes you feel better.

Go ahead, respond with something trying to worm around this and say you don't REALLY believe any of what you preach, anything's possible!

I ask you to take today and really analyze what you believe and see if it translates to reality. With evidence backing it up. Not some guy saying he's channeling a spirit. Anyone can do that, and we both know it.

I've been urging you for a while now and nothing will change. Like I said, I hope it's a phase. I don't want to see you be a gullible old person. Good luck with whatever you choose, Jordan.

Here's To The Crazy Ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them.

About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world - are the ones who DO!
-Steve Jobs

What the fuck? Did I just read a serious comment from psychicpebble? Hah, now I know this spirit science shit has gone too far.

Sometimes I wonder if this is all just a trick, and one of these days you're just gonna be like "Suckers! Thanks for the ad revenue!"

Now, I know I've made this connection before, but seriously, you sound just like my stoner of an ex. The only thing you're missing is the emaciated frame and the questionable dental care. The logic is so obviously flawed. It's like "We feel happy, therefore we are Gods! Let's all hug and eat crystals to ascend to a spaceship! Also can I have like ten bucks for lunch?"

At the end of the day I still applaud your ability to generate so much attention though. Whether it's hatred or snuggly idiots who need something to believe in, you have a knack for catching eyes. That's valuable. I anticipate the day someone takes advantage of that, markets the crap out of you, and your "spiritual vessel" or whatever the hell it is turns into a pseudo-hippie cash machine.

Believe it or not, the Ad Revenue isn't all that great.

My motivations for doing this are for the people, and for me :) I'm interested in exploring new ideas about the way things are. I'm interested in making really cool videos, and i'm interested in sharing these videos with anyone that will listen.

I'm also interested in co-creating amazing things with awesome people, and i'm having a great time learning how to do it :)

I've never asked for lunch money, and i have no interest in being used for that purpose. I will make a ton of money though, and then i'm going to put it towards helping change the world on a much larger scale than i have been able to so far.

Jordan I wish to talk to you. I'm not forcing you to fit any social norms, you didn't when spoke to you at first.

I'm urging you to think skeptically. When you propose the thought that crystals heal cancer, it's insulting. When you propose the ideas of possessing knowledge about Mars beings that had wars, and pretend to possess knowledge very few know, you deserve to be shot down.

The fact that you look at yourself as Steve Jobs, and think because you disagree with a majority of people means, by default, you're right, shows are ignorant and arrogant you are.

By your logic, the crazy man that thinks the Earth is still flat could've said everything you just said to me, and it would have as much impact. You're free to believe whatever you want, but I'm telling you Jordan, you will not see any of the transitions you talk about. Nothing will happen in your lifetime that you're being fed. You're being brainwashed by people who lie to you and say they are talking to beings who possess more knowledge than they do.

The fact that you believe all of this stuff really does concern and upset me. To be open minded is fine, but there's a fine line between open mindedness and gullibility. There's no question in my mind you've crossed that line after dancing on it for a while, yet you still boast about being opened minded and skeptical.

You boast about being open minded and skeptical, but you then turn around and say giant reptile men exist and rocks have healing power.

Believe what you want, man. You responded to my plead to return to reality with hostility, accusations, and showed your sense of grandeur and grandiosity, and comparing yourself to geniuses.

I hope in five years you will live in an apartment with a girlfriend and have a normal job and think normally again, and laugh while looking back at this. Or maybe you're already too deep in this, and you're going to spend the rest of your life unknowingly conning people into buying crystals and preaching your words as if they're right, sucking in gullible people.

At this day in age, we need more spectacle people preaching skepticism, not someone tricking you into tricking other innocent gullible people.

Anyway, I'm done trying to help you Jordan when you acted like a count in your response. I really do want to see you be better again, that's my only intention. Good luck I guess.

You're asking me to 'return to your definition of a normal life'. I'd rather not have a 'normal' job. I spend my days doing what i want, all day long, and its a blast! Im working on an online program for moving from anxiety to inner peace. I get to travel all around the states meeting awesome people and doing amazing things! Its so much fun, and i want to show everyone else how they can do it too.

As for steve jobs, i never compared myself to him. I think he was one of the most inspired and amazing people of our time. If not for him, we might not even be having this conversation today, in the way we are having it. He was a true genius, and i am inspired by him.

Oh yeah and it's worth mentioning Steve Jobs could've avoided dying by taking the doctor's recommended treatment really early on in the cancer, but instead decided to go with herbs and natural medicine.

And then he died.

Here's all i'll say about steve jobs,

He either built the computer you're using, or the computer your using is a copy of something that he originally designed. He did it when he was in his early 20's, and spent his life dedicated to making amazing technology for everyone.

It's incredibly disrespectful to speak about him in the way that you are. Give the guy some respect for christ sake.

You don't understand what you're talking about. You merely believe in what you're talking about. Until you can see the difference you will remain confused.

On its own your adopting this world-view (as it certainly is despite your indication otherwise) isn't offensive or even problematic. I firmly believe everyone is free to do with themselves as they wish. That said your advocation of this world-view is borderline proselytization (or it is outright), and that's where I find a problem. You spout pseudo-science riddled with logical fallacies, and attract gullible people who are unable to identify either.

You talk about changing or improving the world, and about being persecuted for you ideas, but in those I see deflections from the truth of the matter. Whether you're aware of it or not you're seeking external validation for your ideas by bringing people into your way of thinking. You're not some radical idealist fighting established schools of thought or their proponents in order to advance humanity. You've merely found solidarity among like-minded people, and you're attempting to reinforce that feeling by championing that cause.

Read that how you wish, but be aware I've done little more than call you misguided and obtrusive. For your own sake you may consider taking psychicpebble's advice by critically reflecting on your beliefs. Critical reflection is a healthy thing, and a great tool in seeking your own truth.

Hmmm...

You might be right.

Well, in fact - you are right.

I do want to be liked. I would love it if the Newgrounds community enjoyed Spirit Science or any of my work. And the cool thing is that some of them do. I've got messages from a number of people on here who are some of the most wonderful people i've ever met! Even Mindchamber and I talk about new ideas :D

And here's the thing, I acknowledge that. Yes, part of my motivations are because just as everybody else, i went through school miserable, and i was bullied. Don't we all want to be liked? Don't we all feel that longing for friendship and affection of those around us? Don't we all seek validation from our peers?

We often have a hard time giving it (love and kindness), and people are genuinely mean a lot of the time too. It's hard to be happy in a world where everyone is mean.

In acknowledging THAT particular Truth, i can also acknowledge an even larger one. I genuinely DO want to change the world. I created Spirit Science because i was Inspired to do so, by something that i felt was amazing! Something that transformed my life into something incredible, and something that i wanted to share with everyone.

No, i don't entirely know how to do it, so i'm doing it in the ways i know how, and trying new things every day. I'm learning a lot, and i think this lifetime is going to be especially fun. And that we CAN create some really magical new things - if only we want to, and care enough to find out how to make it happen.

Thank you for speaking your truth, its clear that you're speaking about what you honestly see. It may be one perspective, and its valid. I just hope you too have the ears to hear mine and give it some value as well.

I'm neutral on all of this stuff.
But I just wanted to say I think it's pretty awesome how you're not letting anyone get you down.

Neutrals the best place to come from! Thank you, i think you're pretty awesome too!

To everyone below me. You missed the point.
Try not to be insulted Jordan.
But the point of spirit science IS to be incredibly simplified and dumbed down, yea it'll seem far fetched up the god damn ass, that's the point, it just gets you to think about these ideas, then you get into it, do your own research and thinking, make the connections, and learn something.
All of you wanted him to be the next Jesus, LETS SEE IF HIS PREDICTIONS COME THROUGH, LETS SEE HIS MIRACLES, OH GREAT ORACLE TELL US WHAT ELSE NEXT!
He even urged you all NOT to take his word for it and do your own damn research and thinking. When you do, you would make the connections, and then when you look at spirit science, you will fucking get it. Every word he said has been meaningless, the actual meaning, you've all been blind to.
That doesn't go without saying, you made a huge mistake when you somehow did not expect that. WELCOME TO HUMANITY! And fuck you for cashing out.

AS FOR SOMETHING ELSE!
In your newest video I saw some clips from an incredibly interesting looking animuuuuuuu.
What was it.

You sir, are fucking awesome! Well said!!

(And it's totally true! People treated me so weirdly through all of last year, i think its shifting now though, which is deff a good thing!)

The movie is called SteamBoy, it's one of the highest budgeted anime movies ever made!! (if not THE highest). It's absolutely gorgeous, and the story is awesome too! Really worth checking out.

It seems that a few people are taking cheap shots at Jordan here. A few of you seem to say that he just spew's out shit. To put things into perspective, let me tell you about me. I was a Christian for the first 18 years of my life. I went to a Christian school every year except kindergarten. When I graduated from high school, I discovered SS by accident. It was Jordan who, in a way, inspired me to be more open minded about the world around me. I have went from believing the world was 6,000 years old to 4.4 billion. I no longer prescribe to the Abrahamic-Monotheistic religions because they cause a lot of problems in this world. Sure, there are some things Jordan says that I have no reason to support, but I don't reject them. Sure, I may have bought a few(12) crystals. I don't know if they work, but I'd like to think they do. I haven't been able to astral project, but God knows I try. One thing that he has said is that we are all psychic to some extent. This is one thing I am damn certain of. There is no way to logically explain my experiences. So, what can you conclude about me? Do I think I have a weak and gullible mind? No. I know I am just as logical as the people bashing his beliefs. Do I believe everything he says? No. Do I think the world would be a better place with more people like Jordan in it? Absolutely.

I spoke bluntly earlier for effect, and because of that I was aware that my words could also be interpreted as simply offensive. I intended to take no personal shots at you Jordan, and I'm glad to see that for the most part few were perceived. I simply questioned the thinking behind the videos and the motives behind spreading their message in an attempt to get my point across. From what I can see it did not get across, and that may be my fault too.

If that is the result then I can accept that. I have little invested interest in this, and I said earlier that I have little interest in influencing how other people choose to see the world. Now don't misunderstand me. I care about other people, and try to say what I think is right if I think doing so is right. I simply doubt that I know enough to justify pushing my own ideas onto them. Consistent with that I am a strong advocate of critical thinking and my primary reason for interjecting in the first place was to call more attention to what I saw as a misinterpreted and unappreciated plea from psychicpebble in hopes of giving it some support. (Well, in the interest of being candid I was also motivated by some frustration with some rhetoric on your part, but I'd rather not quibble with that.)

I still firmly question the veracity of your claims, and do not agree with how many are made and supported, but I do not feel the need to personally make a case on that at this time. It was my intention (as I believe it was psychicpebble's as well) to prompt you to do that as much as you are able. If you are able.

fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a Is a quote that I enjoy.

I would like to add in the interest of clarity that despite my challenge I have nothing against *you*. I can say I generally think well of you, and wrote this because of that.

And when I fell asleep that night, I recall having a profound dream of a baby bat bitting my hand.

Isn't it weird how your dreams feel real? For me, most of the time I feel pain.

Like just the other night I dreamed a guy was trying to cut open a battery and the acid splashed on my arm. It hurt initially for a second but then I realized it wasn't hurting and that I was dreaming.

Ew, the quote I tried to insert lost its first and last bits. Well I'm sure enough of it is there to recognize it.

Overall, this is awesome,

I first started watching these back when you were front paged in the first season (I think it was "the flower of life" one) Right now, I'm more confused than anything else, and it still makes sense, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. However, with the correct research, I found out that most of the explanations do in-fact make logical sense (this does not include the history series, since it is impossible to prove logically). Some of it makes sense, some of it doesn't, in the end, it's fun to watch, and it makes me think about things differently.

My only wish is that you would go into depth on something again, (i.e. the same thing you did with the human history series) preferably something related to technology and how it is becoming interrelated into our lives. (i.e. kind of like the universal geometry episode (through the wormhole) but towards a more "spirit science" theme instead of biology)

The show is good, keep it coming

-BOb B.

scratch what I said earlier about wanting to go in depth with something (I just watched the new video), perfect topic, keep it going!

-comments about Exile-

Yay! I was that guy who asked :P

And SS is epic >=D
