#25 - Dr Tubanur Yesilhark: Find MEANING In Everything, Everywhere

Why are we in a meaning crisis when we are constantly surrounded by sources of meaning? To help us understand this issue more deeply I spoke with Dr Tubanur Yesilhark, Head of Operations at the International Foundation for Muslim Theology (IFMT). The main goal of the IFMT is to bring God-talk back into the centre of day-to-day life. The most recent project of the IFMT on Divine Revelation and Communication was funded by the John Templeton Foundation.Dr Tubanur's completed her PhD at Durham University, UK. Her thesis - A Muslim Response to Evil: Said Nursi on the Theodicy" - was published by Routledge in 2018.Follow Dr Tubanur: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tubanur-yesilhark-ozkan/Check out IFMT: https://ifmt.co.uk(0:00) Trailer(0:44) The meaning crisis(3:24) A world without humans(6:43) Our unique purpose(13:20) The levels of meaning(19:44) Surrounded by signs(25:00) Advice to parents(29:47) Divine names: an example(34:59) How to sustain deep connection(45:32) How intention transforms action(59:18) From multiplicity to unity (1:10:01) Levels of paradise(1:12:50) About the IFMT(1:23:40) Future plans and conclusion
