Everyone Has Faith - Experiment With Yours

We think of faith as a religious matter--something removed from everyday reality, and something you have or don't have. But faith is an inescapable part of being human. It's only a matter of how well yours is working for you.
In this video, I talk about why this is so and some of my articles of faith and why I choose them.
This and other videos on this channel are versions of topics, ideas, insights, and spiritual wisdom that I have pointed to in essays and poems for years. I love sniffing out the invisible assumptions and artificial walls our culture swears by. How is geometry like Jesus? Or UFOs like our everyday experience? Why does reason need revelation? Are there really boundaries between the sensual and the spiritual? Between the impish and the important? Or, ultimately, between anything?
I hope my videos, essays, and poems offer you perspective on the ways our culture has conditioned us to feel divided and confused by competing ideas about existence. I hope they'll help you feel yourself more wholly, as part of a coherent, meaningful cosmos.
I look forward to seeing your comments and questions.

My second collection of essays, "Of Geometry & Jesus" goes broader in scope than "The Science Spell." Here I roam coyote-like across the imaginary borders between science, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, history, myth, religion, the supernatural, and our own direct experience of the world.
