4: Evolutionary spirituality without a big mind as the source

from The Unividuals Podcast and The Freke Show · host Tim Freke

In his Unividuals Podcast Ep 4, Tim Freke explains his shift away from a pre-existing “big mind” or loving God at reality’s origin, sharing why he now sees existence as one continuous process of becoming: from simple formless oneness to relationship (the ‘one’ becoming two), evolving toward a vast loving intelligence at the leading edge—not as the source. He critiques lingering mythic ideas (“philosophical afterbirth”) of pre-existing intelligence, intention, love, or pure consciousness as the source and how to unite science and spirituality within a view of ‘emergence.’ Finally, he inspires us to revision the goal of spiritual ‘awakening’ as forward engagement in evolution, not enlightened escape!
