This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all. . . . The Supreme God is a Being eternal, infinite, absolutely perfect . . . and from his true dominion it follows that the true God is a living, intelligent, and powerful Being. . . . He is not eternity and infinity, but eternal and infinite; he is not duration or space, but he endures and is present.

spirituality is not even a fourth pillar of sustainability, but is instead the foundation upon which the pillars of people, planet and profit must be constructed. To succeed on the triple bottom line, we must build a strong spiritual foundation. To do that, we must look inwards.

I think if we stripped away the social stigma and stereotypes, we would find that most people have some personal beliefs about life, death and the universe that could be considered spiritual.

- In fact, I would bet that

- Spirituality then, is really the exploration of the other half of life
- that our society isn’t comfortable exploring.
- And that’s where it gets interesting.

The problem is that in rejecting the dogma, we too have created dogma. A dogma that shuts down our natural human inclination to explore the mysteries of life, of our own inner worlds and of our deep connection to nature and each other.

Possibilianism is a philosophy which rejects both the idiosyncratic claims of traditional theism and the positions of certainty in atheism in favor of a middle, exploratory ground. The term was first defined by neuroscientist David Eagleman in relation to his book of fiction Sum. Asked whether he was an atheist or a religious person on a National Public Radio interview in 2009, he replied "I call myself a Possibilian: I'm open to ideas that we don't have any way of testing right now.

Possibilianism is a philosophy which rejects
- both
- the idiosyncratic claims of traditional theism and
- the positions of certainty in atheism
- in favor of a middle, exploratory ground.
- The term was first defined by neuroscientist David Eagleman in relation to his book of fiction Sum.
- Asked whether he was an atheist or a religious person on a National Public Radio interview in 2009, he replied
- quote
- I call myself a Possibilian: I'm open to ideas that we don't have any way of testing right now.
- end quote
- In an interview with the New York Times, he expanded upon this:
- quote
- Our ignorance of the cosmos is too vast to commit to atheism, and yet
- we know too much to commit to a particular religion.
- A third position, agnosticism, is often an uninteresting stance in which a person simply questions whether his traditional religious story
- (say, a man with a beard on a cloud) is true or not true.
- But with Possibilianism I'm hoping to define a new position
- one that emphasizes the exploration of new, unconsidered possibilities.
- Possibilianism is comfortable holding multiple ideas in mind;
- it is not interested in committing to any particular story.
- end quote
- both
