356 - Dr. Nathan Jacobs - Embrace Realism: It's All Mystical!
The Symbolic World
Religious “intuition” over truth
The current generation increasingly distances itself from traditional apologetics, which primarily reiterate Enlightenment-era discussions, reflecting a shift towards intuition-based understanding instead of rational analysis. This generation operates largely on instinct and vague moral sentiments rather than structured moral systems. Their exploration of existential meaning often reveals a deep sense of divine hiddenness rather than overt philosophical challenges, such as the classical problem of evil. Many express a desire for a tangible divine presence in their lives, seeking experiences that affirm the existence of something beyond. Consequently, the appeal of paranormal phenomena arises as individuals pursue these tangible encounters, filling the void of divine interaction that they perceive as lacking in their religious experiences. This shift highlights a fundamental change in how spirituality and existence are understood in a post-Enlightenment context, with a greater emphasis on personal, intuitive encounters over established religious doctrines.
