Before there were churches, scriptures, doctrines, or religious institutions...human beings were already looking toward the stars.Long before God had a name, our ancestors sat around fires, painted caves, dreamed dreams, told stories, and searched for meaning in a mysterious universe.In this episode of Experiencing God, I explore a question that fascinates me:How did human beings relate to the sacred before religion as we know it existed?Across cultures and throughout history, people have encountered mystery through myths, symbols, visions, rituals, stories, nature, and art. The great religious traditions would eventually emerge from these encounters, but the human search itself came first.What if religion is not the beginning of the story?What if it is part of a much older conversation between humanity and the divine?—In this video, I explore:• The origins of spirituality and religion• Myth, symbolism, and sacred stories• Ancient humanity's relationship with mystery• Art as humanity's first spiritual language• The search for God before organized religion• What myths and religions reveal about consciousness—The goal of this video is not to diminish religion, but to look deeper into the human longing that gave rise to it.Because before theology...before doctrine...before belief systems...there was wonder.And perhaps there still is.—Continue the JourneyIf these themes resonate with you, I share regular reflections on spirituality, creativity, art, mythology, and the search for meaning through Art & Void.📖 Newsletter & Resources:www.artandvoid.com🖋️ Workshops, Writing Circles & Mentorship:www.artandvoid.com🎥 Watch the full Experiencing God series
