Im joined by my good friend and colleague to discuss and philosophize about religion and spirituality and the manner in which it impacts us individually and collectively. We process the origins of being a spiritual cynic and the transformation to being a critical thinker capable of questioning and pondering the manifestation of spirit for us all. In the discussion we offer up challenging questions that deal with the fear and anxiety with questioning the known and unknown that has been ingrained in us since birth. This is the first of several conversations.
