Anatheism: Rediscovering God in a Secular Age

[@thenatureofnurture6336]

Do you honestly believe that Rupert could run the world? Does he not seem naive and pampered? He seems to have been able to float without burdens - all the power to him. I did not hear him mention hunger or crisis at all. Indeed, I heard him speak with almost no prescriptions. This is a very good way to remain in people's good graces, but doesn't decide what crop to plant or punishment to dole out or budget to cut.

[@SanguineUltima]

Fantastic lecture! I've felt a strong animosity towards the militant atheism and mechanical materialism of the scientific community for the better part of my life. When I hear someone like you speak with such depth and eloquence about the beautiful mysteries of life, with such respect for organisms and the mystery traditions of the world, it really makes me wish this was the majority paradigm we inhabited. God Bless you!

[@TonyVega123]

You should never be angry with someone who doesn't share your beliefs. That is ignorant.

[@Archeidos-Arcana]

​@@TonyVega123 I think there's a difference between anger at a person, and anger at an ideology/perspective that has come to grip a person. Scientific-materialism has done a lot of harm to our societies; and personally I think that's an understandable sentiment.

[@johnstewart7025]

Whatever God is, I do not think we can comprehend him with our rational mind, which acts like a knife dividing or categorizing. So God, to us, is irrational and that may seem unjust.

[@Princess999663]

I've long been conflicted and burdened with what seemed a jarring clash between Catholicism, my love of Jesus, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene and a life-long fascination with paganism and Hinduism.

[@Crime_Mime]

I know I'm a bit late, but I would highly recommend you read a book like Christ: The Eternal Tao. To briefly summarize, in order for Christianity to be true, it doesn't necessitate that all other religions have to be false. The truth found in other religious traditions is a partial revelation and a prophetic precursor to the fullness of the truth that's revealed in Christ. When interpreted correctly, Hinduism, Paganism, Taoism, Greek Philosophy, etc. all point to Christ and find their ends in Him.

[@melllv]

I am just starting a very conflicting situation. I found a catholic church that I feel in love with. However I am also fascinated with many manifestations of spirit. At the moment I am a visitor sat at the back. With no idea of where to go from here. It won't be to the confessional box not for a while. The Sheldrake family are one of the sources of my spirituality and many other. I feel wired and weird to say the least. Art and poetry are the main fountain of my inspirations. Its all very fascinating and Rupert helps me feel sane.

[@mandyshanks2327]

I love the idea of the moon reflected in buckets of water set differently. Each bucket reflects one moon. We are all reflections of consciousness. What a beautiful and gentle bucket of consciousness Rupert is.

[@TheWorldTeacher]

consciousness/Consciousness: “that which knows”, or “the state of being aware”, from the Latin prefix “con” (with), the stem “scire” (to know) and the suffix “osus” (characterized by). To put it succinctly, consciousness is the SUBJECTIVE component in any subject-object relational dynamic. The concept of consciousness is best understood in comparison with the notion of sentience. Cf. “sentience”. As far as biologists can ascertain, the simplest organisms (single-celled microbes) possess an exceedingly-primitive form of sentience, since their life-cycle revolves around adjusting to their environment, metabolizing, and reproducing via binary fission, all of which indicates a sensory perception of their environment (e.g. temperature, acidity, energy sources and the presence of oxygen, nitrogen, minerals, and water). More complex organisms, such as plants, have acquired a far greater degree of sentience, since they can react to the light of the sun, to insects crawling on their leaves (in the case of carnivorous plants), excrete certain chemicals and/or emit ultrasonic waves when being cut. At this point it is imperative to consult the entry “sentience” in the Glossary of this Holy Scripture. According to this premise, the simplest forms of animal life possess sentience, but no noticeable semblance of true consciousness. As a general rule, those animals that have at least three or four senses, combined with a simple brain, possess a mind but lack an intellect. Higher animals (notably mammals) have varying levels of intelligence but only humans have a false-ego (sense of self). Thus, human consciousness is constituted of the three components: the mind, the intellect, and the pseudo-ego (refer to Ch. 05). There is a rather strong correlation between brain complexity and level of consciousness, explaining why humans alone are capable of self-awareness. In this case, “self-awareness” is not to be confused with “self-recognition”, which is a related but quite distinct phenomenon, found also in several species of non-human animals, in which an animal is able to recognize itself in a mirror or some other reflective surface. “Self-awareness” refers to the experience where a human over the age of approximately three years, is conscious of the fact that he or she knows (that is, aware) that he or she is aware. Obviously, in the case of a child, he or she may need to be prompted in order to first be acquainted with this understanding. For example an adult could ask the child: “Do you know that you have a toy car?” “Yes!” “And do you KNOW that you know you have a toy car?” “Umm...I think so...yes!”. In contemporary spiritual circles (as well as in several places within this book), the capitalized form of the word usually, if not always, refers to Universal Consciousness, that is, an Awareness of awareness (otherwise known as The Ground of All Being, et altri).

[@duncanmckeown1292]

This idea is very like the physicist/philosopher Bernardo Kastrup's view of individual consciousness as sets of whirlpools in a common river. Not surprisingly, perhaps, I have found out that Kastrup is a great admirer of Sheldrake!

[@HakuCell]

i have experienced anatheism in my life: i was born christian, then became atheist during my high school years as i started questioning things, then in my thirties i realized that questioning current religions makes sense, however, given the incredibleness and quantum mysteries of this universe and of life on earth, i concluded that my bet is that there is some superior or divine entity behind this universe, and that's my current position. so i guess you could call me a agnostic theist.

[@marcobiagini1878]

I am a physicist and I will explain why our scientific knowledge refutes the idea that consciousness is generated by the brain and that the origin of our mental experiences is physical/biological . My argument proves that the fragmentary structure of brain processes implies that brain processes are not a sufficient condition for the existence of consciousness, which existence implies the existence in us of an indivisible unphysical element, which is usually called soul or spirit (in my youtube channel you can find a video with more detailed explanations). I also argue that all emergent properties are subjective cognitive contructs used to approximately describe underlying physical processes, and that these descriptions refer only to mind-dependent entities. Consciousness, being implied by these cognitive contructs, cannot itself be an emergent property. Preliminary considerations: the concept of set refers to something that has an intrinsically conceptual and subjective nature and implies the arbitrary choice of determining which elements are to be included in the set; what exists objectively are only the single elements. In fact, when we define a set, it is like drawing an imaginary line that separates some elements from all the other elements; obviously this imaginary line does not exist physically, independently of our mind, and therefore any set is just an abstract and subjective cognitive construct and not a physical entity and so are all its properties. Similar considerations can be made for a sequence of elementary processes; sequence is a subjective and abstract concept. Mental experience is a precondition for the existence of subjectivity/arbitrariness and cognitive constructs, therefore mental experience cannot itself be a cognitive construct; obviously we can conceive the concept of consciousness, but the concept of consciousness is not actual consciousness. (With the word consciousness I do not refer to self-awareness, but to the property of being conscious= having a mental experiences such as sensations, emotions, thoughts, memories and even dreams). From the above considerations it follows that only indivisible elements may exist objectively and independently of consciousness, and consequently the only logically coherent and significant statement is that consciousness exists as a property of an indivisible element. Furthermore, this indivisible entity must interact globally with brain processes because we know that there is a correlation between brain processes and consciousness. This indivisible entity is not physical, since according to the laws of physics, there is no physical entity with such properties; therefore this indivisible entity can be identified with what is traditionally called soul or spirit. The soul is the missing element that interprets globally the distinct elementary physical processes occurring at separate points in the brain as a unified mental experience. Some clarifications. The brain doesn't objectively and physically exist as a mind-independent entity since we create the concept of the brain by separating an arbitrarily chosen group of quantum particles from everything else. This separation is not done on the basis of the laws of physics, but using addictional subjective criteria, independent of the laws of physics; actually there is a continuous exchange of molecules with the blood and when and how such molecules start and stop being part of the brain is decided arbitrarily. Brain processes consist of many parallel sequences of ordinary elementary physical processes occurring at separate points. There is no direct connection between the separate points in the brain and such connections are just a subjective abstractions used to approximately describe sequences of many distinct physical processes. Indeed, considering consciousness as a property of an entire sequence of elementary processes implies the arbitrary definition of the entire sequence; the entire sequence as a whole (and therefore every function/property/capacity attributed to the brain) is a subjective abstraction that does not refer to any mind-independendent reality. Physicalism/naturalism is based on the belief that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain. However, an emergent property is defined as a property that is possessed by a set of elements that its individual components do not possess; my arguments prove that this definition implies that emergent properties are only subjective cognitive constructs and therefore, consciousness cannot be an emergent property. Actually, all the alleged emergent properties are just simplified and approximate descriptions or subjective/arbitrary classifications of underlying physical processes or properties, which are described directly by the fundamental laws of physics alone, without involving any emergent properties (arbitrariness/subjectivity is involved when more than one option is possible; in this case, more than one possible description). An approximate description is only an abstract idea, and no actual entity exists per se corresponding to that approximate description, simply because an actual entity is exactly what it is and not an approximation of itself. What physically exists are the underlying physical processes. Emergence is nothing more than a cognitive construct that is applied to physical phenomena, and cognition itself can only come from a mind; thus emergence can never explain mental experience as, by itself, it implies mental experience. My approach is scientific and is based on our scientific knowledge of the physical processes that occur in the brain; my arguments prove that such scientific knowledge excludes the possibility that the physical processes that occur in the brain could be a sufficient condition for the existence of consciousness.

[@samrowbotham8914]

The mystical element of the God experience is Gnosis, in the recent past, the Gnostics who were persecuted as heretics have been vindicated especially in the area of thanatology where they taught that when we die we are resurrected immediately. The Church fathers taught the resurrection was physical even the day after the eschaton when an Angel would blow a trumpet and people would rise from their graves. As a modern Gnostic, I am intrigued at what is happening in the world today as the old order is beginning to break down before our eyes and the archons have no choice but to reveal the truth, these are apocalyptic times and a trifurcation is happening.

In the methodism I grew up in this is called a testimony. An unusual testimony to be sure, at least for those circles, but what a marvellous one, and beautifully delivered. A more traditional Christian theology would be struck and a bit saddened by Sheldrake’s brief take on Jesus Christ. It would be marvellous if he would take a larger step in the direction of the Incarnation of God in Jesus Christ. I think Dr. Sheldrake would find another soulmate in the work of the late Anglican theologian Thomas F. Torrance (see his book of lectures entitled “Incarnation”). Torrance was a great student of St. Athanasius of Alexandria. Torrance also had much experience in the east, especially China. And, he is highly respected in the Eastern Orthodox world for his bridge building with the Catholic/Anglican world.

He's undoubtably a remarkable mind/thinker, courageous too! I've noted that he seems to avoid the topic of near death experience for some reason I've never heard him articulate. Is it that he thinks substance dualism (what NDE's point to) can't be correct or has he not delved into them enough. Leaving aside the cult that has developed around NDE's (the inevitable psychobabble ) the ordinary experiences (ordinary as in authentic/honest) of cardiac arrest patients who are resuscitated and survive to talk about it, are really fascinating. I do wonder why these are always excluded from Rupert's lectures. I see no good reason why they should be, as they are in fact as close as one can literally get to the unknowable divine, whatever that is,

Me too. No prizes.

at 104:44 "people believe in God because of their mystical experiences" is just plain wrong, because experience gives you KNOWLEDGE, not belief. This whole talk never once mentions Australian Aborigines, who basically lived in the "Garden of Eden" for perhaps 200,000 years, and were in direct connection through actual experiences to the Universal consciousness which they called "The Dreaming". People today play with religions which cannot connect to that because they are only beliefs. If they increase your lifespan, well so does positive thinking or believing in Santa Claus. Everything in the Universe is connected to everything else EXCEPT US, and Religions keep us there. And the real Aboriginal Elders won't usually tell you this coz you're not ready, they say of us "Little brother has lost the Dreaming". SO TRUE!

All right there in the first 18 verses of The Gospel of John. The Logos/Word is a consciousness -- and like Rudolf Steiner and Owen Barfield both agreed human consciousness has evolved and is still evolving. Moses gave us the law --- Grace and Truth come through Jesus Christ ---------this is that evolution. We go from Old Testament -'Thou shall not kill' (Exodus)-- to 'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:43-44). That is an evolution of human consciousness. You have to see what humanity's purpose on this earth is --- LOVE. Jesus came as a revealer -
