This podcast explores the idea that a phone-based life can lead to spiritual degradation. It examines how technology is changing us and how it affects our spirituality. The podcast draws on insights from academic sources and ancient traditions to explain how a phone-based life can pull people downward on a vertical dimension called the divinity axis, while actions such as charity and gratitude can elevate people.

The podcast will discuss how virtual life lacks the structure of real life and can lead to feelings of anomie. It will explore how our phones affect our minds, and how they cause us to be more self-focused and judgmental.

The podcast will also explore six spiritual practices that can help to improve well-being:

• Shared sacredness: The podcast discusses how rituals and practices can bring people together and lift them out of the profane realm.
• Embodiment: The podcast will examine the importance of movement and being present in the physical world, which is often lost in the virtual world.
• Stillness, silence, and focus: The podcast explores how practices like meditation can calm the mind and promote mental clarity.
• Self-transcendence: The podcast looks at how spiritual practices can help us to lose our sense of self and connect to something larger.
• Being slow to anger and quick to forgive: The podcast will discuss the importance of forgiveness in maintaining relationships and improving mental health.
• Finding awe in nature: The podcast examines how experiencing the beauty of nature can promote self-transcendence and improve well-being.

The podcast will also discuss the concept of a "God-shaped hole," or a yearning for meaning, connection, and spiritual elevation. It will also discuss how to take back control of our lives and our inputs in order to live above zero on the divinity dimension. The podcast will explore how a phone-based life can negatively affect our spiritual well-being by pulling us downward on this dimension, and will offer ways to counteract those effects.
