About this episode
In this episode, Natalie discusses the relationship between self-awareness and the need for religion, exploring personal spirituality and the questioning of traditional beliefs.
I personally feel like the more people become self aware, the less they feel they need religion. That's not saying the less they need "God", but the less they need to be told what God is and what God "wants". And isn't that really what religion is all about? Being told all these things by "MEN" that they say is from that all knowing being in the sky. In fact, don't they tell you God is everything, while also telling you in a round-a-bout way that he actually needs you to listen to the men who speak FOR him? Ya, this is all part of what you end up hearing when you finally start to think for yourself, get to know who you are, and finally allow the questions about what "God" is to YOU. If you are anything like me...the self awareness came with questions about Spirituality also, and answering questions about spirituality is really where the goods are these days. Do I need religion? Am I spiritual? What do I want "God" to look like? What if I answer these questions without anyone else telling me what my answers are? That's who I am now. The one who won't be told the answers to such big questions. I chose this image of new aspen leaves…
