272. What’s On Our Mind- You Are the Experience God Is Having: On Consciousness and the Divine
Thursday, 26 February, 2026
Questions? Comments? Text Us!In Episode 272 of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Jerry Martin and Scott Langdon ask a deceptively simple question: What is experience?Is it just a stream of sensations passing through us — or is it the unfolding of meaning across a lifetime? When we look back at our lives, do we merely remember events, or do we discover layers of significance we couldn’t see before?Drawing from Scott’s recent What’s Your Spiritual Story episode and Jerry’s Radically Personal series, the conversation turns to the radical uniqueness of every human life. No one has ever been duplicated. Every consciousness is singular. What might it mean, then, to say: “You are the experience God is having”?Through reflections on theater, personal memory, Jane Austen’s Emma, the play Proof, and the philosophical idea of “thisness” (haecceitas), Jerry and Scott explore whether awareness itself is the meeting point between the human and the divine.Experience changes us. Meaning deepens. And perhaps consciousness is not merely personal — but participatory in something far greater.As you listen, consider your own experience. Where has meaning deepened for you? And what might it reveal about the divine presence within your life?Related Episodes:270. Recovering the Depth of Experience in a Flattened World- Radically Personal271.
