Elevating Consciousness Jordan Hall - Rethinking Religion at the Edge of Collapse
Jordan Hall is a tech entrepreneur, philosopher, and meta-systemic thinker who, over a year ago, announced that he had converted to Christianity.
This conversation was recorded live during Limicon, a digital conference for those in the liminal, metamodern, and game B spaces.
In it, we explored Jordan’s early experiences with religion and spirituality, what ultimately drew him to Christianity, and what Christianity might afford that Eastern traditions do not.
We touched on discerning divine calling from the egoic mind, confronting fundamentalist forms of Christianity, and the shift from propositional to participatory forms of knowing.
We also examined the role religion may play in ameliorating some of the negative trends in society and the meta-crisis at large.
