We need to use language to undermine language to really understand this transcendent reality that is beyond words, that is beyond human concepts. And this guy was incredibly influential on all big theologians in medieval Europe. And I think it says something about our time that nobody's heard of it these days. So I think there is spiritual depth

Back in, you know, in Islam, you have Sufism, in Judaism, Kabbalah. So, yeah, I think this understanding of the Abrahamic faiths that I've discovered is really resonating with me. I think it's, you know, this idea of this sort of big mind, God is a big mind idea. I think that, what is it that I don't like about that? I think ultimately it doesn't solve the riddle of existence, does it?

Okay, there's this big mind, who created the big mind, right? I think if there is going to be a solution to the riddle of existence, it's going to be something totally beyond human understanding. I don't even like using the word God, maybe the transcendent or something beyond human categories. But I think that that always has been there in all the Abrahamic faiths going back to the beginning.

Yeah. A lot of what you just said really resonates with me. And I mean, so I recently become religious. I went public as I self-identify as a heretical Christian. I did this interview on a Christian YouTube channel and got a whole load of response videos. The first wave were from kind of conservative US Christians saying, I'm not really a Christian. I don't really have the right beliefs.

And then I got this wave from atheists saying I'd lost my mind. But I suppose... I'm not religious to get the answers, to get the certainty. I think fundamentally for me, being religious is about connecting my spiritual life to the life of the community through rituals that mark the seasons, the changing seasons of the year and the big moments of life, birth, coming of age, marriage, death.
