58. Emergent Spirituality (w/ Tim Freke)

Philosopher and author Tim Freke joins me to talk about his conceptions of an "emergent spirituality." We discuss his 2017 book Soul Story, in which he lays out a vision for a developing cosmos leading to deeper self-realization. From there we discuss his thinking about the continuation of imaginal phenomena after the biological death of the individual. 0:00 Introduction 1:22 Soul Story and Emergent Spirituality 8:56 Is Consciousness Fundamental?
