00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.360
A lot of how I became involved
in this whole area of neuro theology,
2
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:07.599
came from those very pursuits,
trying to understand
3
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:10.679
the nature of the world around us,
how do we make sense out of it.
4
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:14.080
And as I went through in my own
thought processes,
5
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.039
I realized more and more
that it was very difficult
6
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.399
to know exactly what was right
and what was wrong.
7
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.920
It was a very profound moment
where I realized that there was
8
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.320
no way I was ever going to get
an answer to these questions
9
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:30.320
and instead of being completely
depressing and feeling
10
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:32.880
like there was no hope at all it was
a tremendous release
11
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.920
that I didn't have to keep
looking for that answer.
12
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.359
And so it was a feeling of surrender,
it was an intense feeling
13
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.679
and an experience that I referred to
in my in my book called Infinite doubt
14
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.479
that it was basically
just that we would never know anything.
15
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.320
That experience in and of
itself was something that was
16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.640
very positive for me and allowed me
to kind of release those
17
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.479
anxieties and fears of never
really getting to an answer.
