56: Expanding Your Understanding of God Beyond Traditional Boundaries
Expanding Your Understanding of A Higher Power
In this episode, we delve into the topic of expanding one's understanding of God or a higher power. We explore various perspectives and practical approaches to embrace a more expansive spirituality. Often, personal awakenings prompt shifts in our perceptions of God, especially when faced with challenging events. I share my Christian journey and experiences that have shaped my belief system.
I reflect on moments where my perception of God evolved, questioning traditional notions and exploring broader concepts of divinity.
We discuss common limitations of traditional views, including anthropomorphism, authoritarianism, emotional attributions, gender stereotypes, and the problem of evil.
Adopting an expansive spirituality involves respecting alternative paths, letting go of dogma, embracing inquiry-based exploration, and valuing diverse experiences.
We explore various frameworks, including monotheism, theism, deism, polytheism, pantheism, panentheism, atheism, agnosticism, and humanism, offering insights into different cultural and philosophical perspectives.
