A Faith Journey
Over the last eight months or so, I have focussed heavily on reviewing the evolution of my faith. I’m logging my reflections and conclusions in two parts. I have posted Part 1 on Youtube entitled ‘ Not the God I grew up with’ with the descriptor ‘A faith review through old eyes and a quantum lens’.
The video runs for 59.31 minutes. In broad terms it logs my reflections from ‘who gets the credit for all creation”— through to ‘how I see my role in the succession plan that Jesus outlined in his valedictory speech’! The bits in the middle cover ups and downs and intellectual and emotional detours that attract and challenge me as I reflect on the significance of perspectives from quantum physics (as a novice) and new psychological models that augment my past learnings.
It may not be everybody’s cup of tea, but I hope to stimulate interest and reflection for others.
With love
David
One Response to “A Faith Journey”
This is a fascinating exploration of the tribal, historical and cultural contexts that have conditioned and still today shape our beliefs. David’s discussion of consciousness, the mind of God and monistic versus dualistic thinking provide us with an invaluable segue into his offerings of meditative steps as a pathway for entering the mind of God. I am particularly struck by his example of observing and reflecting on the Japanese worshipper at a shrine in Japan, which potently illustrates how such mind of God based reflection can change the way in which we see others around us, and for me illustrates how God appears in many different ways, and how so many different faiths are actually united in their encounters with the divine. Oneness as opposed to dualism) is revealed by David as pointing to oneness of the mind of God as the foundation upon which each of us has the possibility of moving forward in the lifelong pursuit of finding our own path and following it with our heart. This closing remit that David provides, is both challenging and attractive!
