123. The Veil is Dropping: God is Real

Honest admittance: I'm a little scared to publish this episode. But what would Figuring Sh!t Out be if it wasn't a testament to overcoming fear, time and time again, by getting as deeply honest as possible and sharing truths from this raw and reflective place?This is Figuring Sh!t Out - in real time.This episode is an existential conversation about God, Existence, and using our critical thinking and discernment when approaching spirituality. (From a girl who has not, up until recently, used a lot of discernment when approaching spirituality.) It is a journey reflecting upon my own - and one that I simply ask you allow to let you question, let you think, let you feel your own inner judgements as they arise, let you wonder about the beliefs you're married to, and reflectively ask: is this my own?Topics covered in this episode: reflections from turning 26: how almost dying at birth gave way to a sentimental thought-daughter with lots of existential questionsi am reading the bible?? for the first time?? ever?? (and tbh i would recommend and if you're immediately like "no," yes that was me too up until last week. lowkey profound.)getting out of the way to receive (including putting your ego aside) and how this connects us to artistry + Godcritically thinking: spirituality / new age as a trend (that i have also fallen into) and why it's not the whole story impure vs pure actions / intentions and how that impacts the quality of the information we receive surrendering: we were never meant to do it all alonediscernmentGod as The Judge vs God as Love: getting curious, seeing beyond religious dogmashattering your own illusions as a ragebait for your inner evolution & growth the fallibility of self-help / development content: you do not have to (and were never meant to) do it all on your ownthe fallibility of our flesh & bone - the necessity of humility & respect how this all helps you do hard things God vs The UniverseThank you for being on this journey with me.
