I can relate to your childhood. I had similar questions, philosophical attitude, and was demoralized over time by people's lack of shared interest for the truth.
Back when I was more involved with "Edenism" (I think you're familiar with the fringe theory) I learned this was correlated mainly to the kind of brow/eye socket structure I had (deep set, etc...)
Similarly I have a Germanic/northwest European background, and I think our type probably occurs most frequently withinin those ethnicities, but also occurs significantly wherever R1a/R1b haplogroups have a presence, so Eastern Europe, Anatolia, Iran, northern India etc... also have it albeit less so.
The main difference I feel between us is that I feel a bit more inclined to the "Dionysian" side of things.
I think most homo sapiens nowadays, or at least a type that is gaining more and more prominence, has a much more fluid sense of self. They exist to "vibe" in groups and crowds.

I haven't covered mind reading on its own, I touch on it in "Metaphysical explanations". I haven't talked about mystic experience lately, but I do think it's more important than abstract philosophy at an individual level. Your attitude toward my system is representative of other feedback I recieved, I will try to make simpler videos covering the basics.

The thought of somehow helping to prepare the world for Christ's second coming makes me wonder what sorts of people could have been counted as important in preparing the world for Christ's first coming. John the Baptist springs to mind, but if you think about what made the world so ready to be impacted by Christ's arrival, you can think of all the factors which played a role in the formation and spread of early Christianity - Greek philosophy; religious debates and divisions amongst Jews at the time; the Roman Empire establishing a wide zone of free travel and commerce; cults of Roman Emperors (men becoming gods), etc. etc.
What might best prepare the world for Christ today, both philosophically and economically/structurally?

This was very candid, and I can relate a lot to what you said regarding the feelings of repulsion to the shallowness of most people. I remember around the start of middle school I began reading the Bible in light of some doubts I was having in my faith, and nobody could give satisfying answers to my questions, so it only made sense to turn to the source text. I still remember the reaction of my peers seeing me reading a Bible during silent reading, and how they saw me as weird for doing so. In hindsight I was far too young to read the Bible, and I was trying to read it as a literal text with no understanding of the allegorical and metaphorical nature of many of the stories, so it’s no wonder I became an atheist. I still have a hard time relating to people, because my mind is so occupied with “the bigger questions,” and I’m surrounded by people who have never once seriously entertained any of these questions. I’d love one day to pick your brain on various topics, but as the commenter above me said, I’m still far too ignorant on many of these topics, and the knowledge I do possess pales in comparison to the information you’re grappling with, so all I can do in the meantime is continue listening and reading on my own. God bless you, brother, I’m glad to support your work any way I can.

It's definitely odd that in the regression you're only shown "earth level" experience and not the higher noetic stage you suggested you were in after a period. That seems like the area that would most conducive to helping you in the now. I don't think I've heard you explain the view of mind reading or hypnosis depth,if you have a video on it can you link it? Like you already acknowledge most people's views aren't systematized so in a way when we see views as robust as yours there's a sort of hesitation to engage. It seems like I'd need to study for years to have meaningful discussions or ask non basic questions about your views so I prefer to just listen and try to learn at the pace presented in videos. The hyper analytic approach to understanding the divine may also be off-putting to those of mystic or in general religious mindset. I'd be curious as to what kind of understanding you think highly ascetic figures can achieve or have achieved in the past,absent of the knowledge of quantum mechanics many worlds they etc. It seems like there can be a demarcation between systemization of deducible truths and some sort of immediate experential knowledge that I haven't seen you discuss much. I think you may have a misunderstanding of what orthodoxy commits you to. Not every Orthodox holds jay dyers view. You can not accept TAG, deny biblical inerrancy and deny literalist interpretation and maintain an orthodox position(I do all of those). Sorry if this is a large wall of text,difficult to space on my phone.

I definitely remember before being born & basically being shown that this was going to be a difficult « post » but that I would learn a lot.
