Is it dangerous to believe in god or something bigger than yourself?
What do Mars colonization, cults, and the pursuit of heavenly salvation have in common?
And why are so many of us feeling spiritually lost?
Jamie Wheal is the co-author of Stealing Fire and the executive director of the Flow Genome Project. He’s returned to discuss his latest book, Recapture the Rapture. Today we talk about the world’s crisis of meaning, why groups sometimes make us dumber, and trying to fill the god-shaped hole in our hearts.
In this interview:
Rabbi Zalman Shachter, LSD, and being a Jew
Trying to ignore our faith
When Buddha, Lao Tzu, and other traditions don’t fit
Why so many of us long for god
Being “cosmic-orphans”
Plus:
Why we’re in a “meaning crisis”
Our longing to escape the grind of life
The power of the death-rebirth experience
Communities that mean good but go bad
Why cults are a feature of being human
Do we get dumber as members of a group?
