Special guest host Jason Dunlap takes us on his journey from a Catholic upbringing through atheism to a more expansive, spiritual perspective of reality. We discuss dualistic thinking that keeps us all imprisoned in a narrow, oppressive view of each other. We also touch on topics such as transcendence, eastern mysticism, grace, and the power of presence (not to mention crazy water crystals that teach us about the nature of reality) For a great read on transcending a dualistic frame of thinking: Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr http://www.amazon.com/dp/0470907754/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_vxJ1wb14HXNQK via The Book that Jason refers to that convinced him that atheism was not philosophically viable: The Reason For God - Timothy Keller http://www.amazon.com/dp/1594483493/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_NzJ1wb0GJQ2F2 Masaru Emoto (water crystal photos) http://www.masaru-emoto.net/english/water-crystal.html 432Hz Frequency image.
