Have you ever heard the phrase “crazy wisdom”? It’s a mystical concept from Tibetan Buddhism that turns normal logic on its head.
In our everyday lives, we’re used to thinking of opposites as completely different. In the spiritual world, things work a little differently. It’s not about things logically making sense but about tapping into something deeper.
And the best way to do that? Through the power of imagination. In fact, imagination is the only way to truly grasp these paradoxes and mysteries.
In this episode, we talk about how opposites can shapeshift into each other, how imagination helps us understand deeper spiritual truths, and how poets and mystics are able to harness the imagination.
In addition, we explore the primary ways of relating with God/The Divine, and how we can deepen our understanding and expereince of God via our faculty of imagination.
Join us in embracing paradox!
