healing from religious trauma using the philosophy of the mystics

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the complexities of religious upbringing and the lasting impact it can have on our lives. My guest, Bob Peck, author of "Original Sin is a Lie," shares insights into healing from fundamentalist religious trauma and childhood confusion about high-level (and often shaming) religious concepts using mystical philosophy and sheds light on how dogmatic religious ideologies can lead to a sense of inherent unworthiness. Together, we’ll explore the role of mystics and their teachings as a potential pathway to a more integral spiritual practice for those grappling with religious trauma while delving into the coexistence of science and spirituality, as well as the challenges posed by an overly rational mindset that may hinder deepening spiritual awareness. We also discuss the use of psychedelics in trauma healing journeys, weighing the pros and cons. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of healing, spirituality, and the quest for understanding our true nature. Bob Peck is a festival award-winning filmmaker, author, and spiritual student with a background in Religious Studies and a unique perspective gained from exploring diverse spiritual traditions.
