Our current cultural grammar is insufficient for talking about God and reality. This course will offer a new language and framework for coming into meaningful interfaith dialogue between traditions.

The Journey

The Journey
If you find yourself between traditions, beyond belief, or yearning for something more—sensing that something sacred is stirring beneath the surface, even if you no longer know how to name it.
Across three back-to-back 8-week courses, John Vervaeke will take you on a journey to detangle the existing frameworks in our culture of understanding God and religion to resituate spirituality within a scientific and Philosophical worldview. This deeply personal course will provide a grammar for reclaiming an embodied, deeper sense of meaning relationship with the Sacred to address The Meaning Crisis by falling in love with the world again.
Course Aims
This course advances the argument started in Awakening from the Meaning Crisis, contextualizes the practices from After Socrates, builds on the premises from Einstein & Spinoza’s God through to Realizing the Imaginal, all in preparation for Walking the Philosophical Silk Road.
For the disillusioned, we hope it will help you return and recover a religious home that might have been alienated.
For the ones who are outside religious homes, we hope it will help you journey and find one.
For the spiritual-but-not-religious, we hope it will help you enter into genuine philia with those who belong to and are in established religions.
Step onto the journey of recovering religio.

We need to stop comparing the best of science to the worst of religion, if we are atheists; and the best of religion to the worst of science, if we are fundamentalists. We need to be in philia.

Course Curriculum
1.1 Disastrous Dichotomies
A picture that has us in its grip: the dichotomies of modernity and default atheism. The Is-ought and analytic-synthetic dichotomy. Realness, intelligibility and ultimate reality.
1.2 Disastrous Dichotomies (cont'd)
We continue breaking down the dichotomies inherited from modernity.
1.3 In the Aftermath of Deconstruction
Why rationality cannot be cold computation.
1.4 Rationality and Reason
We untangle the great rationality debates to argue for how rationality is deeply tied to religious ways of being.
1.5 Rationality and Religion
We look at the relationship between Rationality and Religion in the absence of the dichotomies of modernity.
1.6 On Re-Orientation
How do we find a new stance towards the sacred when all the ones we grew up with crumble?
1.7 Strong Transcendence
Sensed Presence and how transjectivity plays an important role in the cultivation of a relationship to the sacred.
1.8 Transcendence and Integration
The Robustness of Causal Emergence and Strong Transcendence
