| 0:00.0 | How can there be a religion? If no man has seen God, and the purpose of religion is to see God, |
| 0:07.9 | isn't there a contradiction? There are basically two ways of seeing God. There is a direct way, |
| 0:14.8 | and a way in which our humanity is not burnt up. |
| 0:20.5 | Today, we discuss your questions for Wolfgang Smith, which includes remarks around the various |
| 0:26.1 | Vedantic realms of existence, in particular something called the Av Eternal, and how does |
| 0:30.7 | consciousness fit in, as well as not fit in, as well as the Western worldview. |
| 0:35.1 | Or as Wolfgang and myself like to call it a Velton Shaoong. |
| 0:38.7 | This is part two of my discussion with Wolfgang, where we discussed his life, his corpus of |

| 1:22.5 | extremely lucky and blessed that we were able to spend several days together in February. It was a humbling and |
| 1:28.2 | endearing experience. Thank you to Brilliant for help subsidizing the cost, the traveling costs. |
| 1:33.8 | You may not know this, but I pay out of my own personal pocket for every expense, such as flight fees, |
| 1:39.1 | taxi fees, food fees, even subscriptions, such as software tools tools, Adobe for instance, the editor editing |
| 1:45.2 | this right now, different capital like increased RAM and computers and so on. So help from |
