In this episode Alex and Amanda discuss the distance created by trying to explain and describe the world.

To try to understand is in a way to minimize, to reduce down to the units which can be captured by our limited knowledge.

The Great Incomprehensible is then our biggest joys and our biggest tragedies. Any attempt to put them into words - to reduce - seen as futile and unnecessary.

One of the main functions of organized religion is to protect people against a direct experience of God.

Carl Jung

What is this feeling of aloneness that seems to trail us? How can this seeming isolation be experienced when there is not-two? (no separate things, selves, etc.) Listen in as Amanda and Alex explore this strange phenomenon and look at how feeling alone and/or the longing to connect is actually a signal that we are believing our projection to be at a distance to us. Where can we find the Wonder Land here? It’s closer than we think.

“Oh no, my wonder is not "childlike." My whimsy is old. My frivolity is steeped in ancient wisdom.

My silliness is battle worn. My awe at the world has been long forged through trial & tribulation.

I have earned this wonderment. I have protected it for decades against a society that tells me constantly that it should not belong to me.

I was born with wonder, and I have carried it, against all odds, with me through adulthood.

It is not "childlike" by now it is Older than me.”
