Ep. 89 What's the Difference Between Belief and Faith?
This episode begins with a quote from philosopher Alan Watts who says that belief is almost the opposite of faith. We'll take a deep dive into that comment and what it might mean, particularly for the 4 stages of consciousness that are predominant in our society right now. This episode includes:
- How Alan Watts differentiates belief and faith.
- A review of the 4 predominant stages of consciousness.
- How belief, doubt, and faith unfold with advancing consciousness.
- Why doubt is a necessary step to get from belief to faith.
- Why increased creativity and vision are possible at the Integral level of consciousness.
- Why it takes inner work to dissolve old beliefs and make space for new possibilities.
