This week on The Indie Spiritualist, Chris and Britt explore: Deconstructing truth claims and focusing on momentary experienceHow Sufism reopened Britt to spirituality The brain’s struggle to make choices without a direction or faithExistential bravery and challenging the religions we inherited The beauty of living in deep honestyLiving a life that is worth living, even if nothing comes after we are goneAmerica’s movement from theological religion to political religionNot claiming an “ism” and putting all options on the table Imagination and overapplying agency outside of ourselves Looking into the connection between Autism and Nihilism “I would rather suffer and see than accept some story and never question it and live and die according to some story that I inherited.”–Britt HartleyAbout Britt Hartley:Britt Hartley is an Atheist spiritual director and secular spirituality content creator. She holds a masters degree in theology and considers herself a nihilism survivor and Sufi mystic. She is also a published author, religious deconstruction coach, and program director for Spiritual Direction Training. Check out her book No Nonsense Spirituality and keep up with her on Instagram.“Mysticism, what still allowed that to take root in me even with all my skepticism, is mysticism is the focus on the experience of what people have called God without having to put specific language around it or a box around it or put it into a manual. That has been really helpful for me to focus on experience as a place you can build even in the void, even in existential crisis. The one thing we can know is that there is something to be experienced.” –Britt HartleySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
