Description
Is God real? And if so, can you have an actual conversation with the divine?
I sit down with Rebbe Marc Gafni to go all the way in on the question that sits beneath every spiritual tradition, every psychedelic experience, and every 3am reckoning with the mystery of being alive.
From my transformation from teenage atheist to someone who has felt the whisper of the divine firsthand, to Marc's radical framework for understanding God as the Infinite Intimate, this episode is for anyone who has ever wondered whether the universe gives a damn about them personally.
Spoiler: it does. And it's open for conversation.
