Summary

Special guest host Jason Dunlap takes us on his journey from a Catholic upbringing through atheism to a more expansive, spiritual perspective of reality. We discuss dualistic thinking that keeps us all imprisoned in a narrow, oppressive view of each other. We also touch on topics such as transcendence, eastern mysticism, grace, and the power of presence (not to mention crazy water crystals that teach us about the nature of reality) For a great read on transcending a dualistic frame of thinking: Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr http://www.amazon.com/dp/0470907754/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_vxJ1wb14HXNQK via The Book that Jason refers to that convinced him that atheism was not philosophically viable: The Reason For God - Timothy Keller http://www.amazon.com/dp/1594483493/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_NzJ1wb0GJQ2F2 Masaru Emoto (water crystal photos) http://www.masaru-emoto.net/english/water-crystal.html 432Hz Frequency image. Remember that 440Hz is the "standard" tuning of all western music. This photo compares how the frequencies 440Hz and 432Hz affect the vibrational pattern of water. http://www.watersoundimages.com/news/432hz.htm Beautiful Book Recommendations!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Deconstructionist podcast.
0:11.0	I'm your host, John Williamson.
0:12.8	And I'm Adam Norlock.
0:14.3	Welcome.
0:15.3	This is going to be the first, actually, of a continuous series of special guests we have on.
0:23.6	Some you may know.
0:25.6	Some you may just be getting introduced to, but the idea behind it is that we bring in real
0:30.6	people who can talk about their real life deconstructions and all of them will have a
0:36.6	kind of a unique different perspective from where
0:40.6	they come from and where they ended up.
0:42.9	They all came from different places, different starting points, and they all ended up in
0:47.2	very, very different outcomes, I guess.
0:50.0	Which really serves kind of the point of, like, what we're doing here.
0:53.4	Like, this is not supposed to be tunnel vision. This is supposed to be anything but tunnel vision. And, you know, some of the point of like what we're doing here like this is not supposed to be tunnel vision
0:55.1	this is supposed to be anything but tunnel vision and you know some of the critiques we've already
0:59.2	gotten is like you know you guys are really Christian and you know I guess our thoughts on that is like
1:03.4	yeah we are and so like we're going to naturally like kind of come from there we can't really
1:08.5	help that it would be really disingenuine if we tried to act like we weren't coming from there. But at the same time, like we're trying

1:19.5	in a very open, grace-filled, humble, just conversation where we, you know, we've got some tea
