Rethinking Religion: How Misconceptions About God Affect Addiction
God is nothing more than the ability to experience a divine state of being. You can tap into this divine state once you realize the history of God (even if you’re not religious). And once you do, you can throw your addictions out the window. In this episode, I reveal how.
Religion can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it offers comfort and guidance; on the other, it can instill feelings of guilt and shame that fuel addiction. In this episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner takes a bold look at how misinterpreted stories about God contribute to our struggles. He argues that these misconceptions have been around as long as religion itself and that understanding the true nature of God can help us break free from addiction.
Bob dives into the history of God, tracing its roots back to the Mesopotamian region, and challenges traditional Judeo-Christian views. He suggests that God is not a distant, judgmental figure but rather an ability to experience a divine state of being. This shift in perspective can be transformative, helping you shed feelings of worthlessness and embrace a more empowering view of spirituality. Whether you're religious or not, Bob's insights offer a fresh way to look at faith and personal growth.
He emphasizes the importance of honesty and questioning long-held beliefs to achieve true freedom from addiction. Tune in to discover how rethinking your understanding of God can lead to a life free from the chains of addiction.
