Description

My concept of the Divine and my relationship with It has changed over the years. As I grow and change, how I understand this vast unknowable mystery also changes.

This is one of many places where religion and spirituality diverge. In our current world, I am aware of how risky it is to say that we cannot know God. Our limited human brains cannot fully fathom the unlimited immensity of Divine Power.

Paradoxically, when we admit and accept our human limitations, our relationship with the Divine can expand exponentially. We not longer are restricted to one face, one definition, or one path to know the Infinite.

In this episode, I’m exploring one of my favorite spiritual puzzles: is there one infinite divinity? Or an infinity number of divinities?
