Have you ever wondered why some people deconstruct not only their religion but also their entire faith in God, while others deconstruct aspects of organised religion yet retain a relationship with the divine or even with the Christian God?
In this episode, I explore the distinction between deconstructing our notions of God and deconstructing the institutional aspects of faith like Christianity or Catholicism. Drawing from personal experience, I discuss how our individual deconstruction journeys unfold differently based on the depth of our personal encounters with God versus what we've been taught through religious tradition.
In this episode I discuss • The difference between deconstructing religion vs. deconstructing God • How personal mystical experiences shape our faith journey • How conflicting imprints about God in our nervous systems can create an insecure, “disorganised” or confused attachment with God • Understanding "spiritual but not religious" in the context of deconstruction • The apophatic (mystical) tradition in Christianity
