- Zen: The religious historian Karen Armstrong writes that, when traditions cease to address adequately a society's spiritual needs, people will find “new ways of being religious.” It is in our nature to pursue and, just as important, confer meaning upon the transcendent imperative." http://www.tricycle.com/feature/tran...ative?page=0,0
Violet: I think religion handles that deeper "whatever is" better than psychology (which doesn't really address things like Being or reality at all)
Mitsu Ishii: but buddhism and other spiritual traditions can be viewed in a non-dogmatic way, yet still address transcendent and existential issues in ways that psychology doesn't attempt to.
Gaya Ethaniel: I wonder whether transcendent is the closest word to describe that.
Mitsu Ishii: yeah the problem with "transcendent" is it implies going beyond the ordinary, but the ordinary is itself already transcendent
Calvino Rabeni: How about "narrative" as a Way of Knowing?
Mitsu Ishii: if you really appreciate it fully
- Weekly homework discussion group (voice)!
