“Chop wood, carry water.” is a very good thing to remember for me in relation to this.

And, even though I haven’t been raised Christian (although I did go to church a few times with a childhood friend, and my dad told me lots of stories from all kinds of cultures and religions, including Christendom), I also find there’s a lot of good lessons around spiritual experiences like this hidden between the lines in the Bible.

PS. I, too, am grateful for having a very grounded spouse. 😆

Great piece. Hey there are people like layman pascal, Bruce alderman, and John vervaeke talking about building the structures needed to hold people through such experiences in a new type of religionless religion. They have an ongoing discussion about it on the integral stage podcast. They are thinking through all these aspects that can make a new type of religion. Also Brendan graham dempsey is writing about this stuff in his building a cathedral book and in emergentism. There are people out here working on this. You’re not alone.
