This is a very difficult concept, but it must be addressed. When we neglect to acknowledge the many perennial problems that contribute to our suffering, they can easily surprise us at the most unfortunate times.

You had me at "Existential Psychotherapy." This is a new concept for me; a regular person with an interest in psychology, but you have presented it in such a clear, articulate, and eloquent way that's made it just fascinating. This is such an excellent explanation. You have an impressive talent for communication! The YT Gods blessed me on this night with this recommendation, so I just wanted to humbly express my appreciation for your dedication and for sharing this insightful content for free. I've subscribed and I'm excited to check out the rest of your videos. Thank you! ❤️

You are doing a good logical work, but you are looking for a solution for the impossible task of a materialist to find meaning and manage the "nothingness forever" terror. You cant overcome it logically and practically. The only answer, the one that will work is "hope". Hope is the main propeller of discoveries and human evolution. But unfortunately it looks "unprofessional" for many psychotherapist. And the recent example of Hirsi Ali shows that the only solution is spirituality. Believing (or at least hoping) for the "good" ending. PS i think that the 95% of psychotherapists started just to help themselves.

Thanks for your feedback. The problem with the hope narrative is that it includes eternal torture or some kind of distended state of being in an eternity of diluted consciousness (analytic idealism). If we consider the possibility of an afterlife, that can take many forms, whereas with the nothingness forever, at least it's all over. It will be over when the heat death occurs anyways

@@polymathpark time is related to matter so much that is not the same in every part of the universe and that there is not a "time" universal constant. IF exist a kind of consciousness not bound to matter then time also does not exist, but exist only a now. Of course its something that is almost impossible to grasp here BUT is something that everyone who had an NDE (not talking here if are just hallucinations or something more) felt. So in some kind of "settings" the consciousness feel time as not existing. Eternity cannot exist, neither for a materialist (the impossibility of a never ending going back in time) neither for a spiritual person.

Great topic! The scientific works of Dr. Ian Stevenson's team at the University of Virginia has been generating evidence indicating that a person's consciousness continues to exist after the biological death of their physical body.. what do you think about that?
