Self & Society

Join us for a discussion on the concept of God and our relationship with it—whether called the Universe, the One, the Tao, the Light, Allah, Christ, Ram, Buddha, or Brahman. We will explore how different traditions and philosophies understand the connection between the Self and the divine.

Discussion Questions:

1. What is the self? Is it an eternal soul, identity of the ego, collection of past memories etc?
2. Is God an external force, an internal presence, both, or neither?
3. Is our knowledge of God different when explored through the heart, rather than solely the mind?
4. How can we construct a 21st-century understanding of God that harmonizes spirituality and science?
