Spiritual But Not Religious? — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Does your BS meter keep you from having a spiritual life?
Are mystical experiences just our brain chemicals fooling us to believe we have a connection with God?
And is spirituality something you can cultivate on your own or should you depend on a tradition or guru?
Today my wife Alyson and I talk about religion, spirituality, and just how common it is to wrestle with this stuff. I share a bit about my own messy journey as well as what it may look like to forge your own path — on your own terms.
If some of these ideas are helpful for you then great. And if they don’t align with your views, then please toss them aside.
In this conversation:
- Am I the only one wrestling with spiritual questions?
- Is there anything beyond the heaven and hell story?
- Abandoning rational thinking in order to be spiritual
- Talking about Spirit vs having a direct experience
- Finding your own spiritual path vs being indoctrinated
Plus:
- Awe, wonder, and oneness as a doorway
- Wanting spirituality to solve all of our problems
- Having fellowship and community
- The 3 faces of God
- Ken Wilber The Marriage of Sense and Soul
