Smarticle - AGTF - The Importance of Contemplation

Today on this God Talk Friday on The Smarticle Podcast, we discuss the importance of contemplation in spiritual practice. We delve into the idea of separating ego and identity from truth and the role of contemplative practices like sound baths in achieving a deeper connection to reality. Larry shares his recent experience at a sound bath session and we explore the broader implications of this practice on personal and spiritual growth. The conversation touches on the challenges of dualistic thinking, especially in evangelical circles, and the transformative potential of questioning long-held beliefs about identity and divinity.
