Dec 04, 2009 Keeping the Faith

I like to talk about religion and/or spirituality on this show a lot, don’t I? I can’t help it, though, because these topics are on my mind a lot. lot, don’t I? I can’t help it, though, because these topics are on my mind a lot. So the idea in this video just popped into my head the other day when I was walking down a street in New York. Just, wham! Hey, what if faith is actually some crazy memory we have from before we were born? Like we remember that we totally were just a part of the big master plan out there before, and now here we are trapped in our human forms that can’t possibly comprehend where we were before, but somehow we just KNOW we were someplace else before and hey! That memory is faith. This is probably not going to be the last stab-in-the-dark definition I give to faith, but it’s an interesting one to me. I’m sure I’m not the first one to think it up, either. If you’ve heard of it anyplace else, I’d love to know because if someone else has explored this idea, chances are they’ve probably done it a hell of a lot better than I. I mean, this video is fraught with bad language choices. Not to mention grotesquely unwashed hairs. So please, if you have any related material on this, let me know! And if you think this is the most banal idea you’ve ever heard, feel free to tell me that, too. Though there’s a good chance I won’t respond to those emails. Just sayin'.
