Listen "06. Killing the God Inside"
Episode Synopsis
The episode explores the concept of "awakening" through the lens of philosophical progression, suggesting that Descartes' "Cogito ergo Sum" and the subsequent "Sum ergo Deus Est" represent stages on this path. It proposes that Nietzsche's "God is Dead" is a further development, potentially a step Descartes himself might have taken but couldn't openly articulate due to societal constraints. The author posits that a critical, often difficult, stage of this awakening involves "killing the god inside oneself" – the renunciation of feelings of superiority and a recognition of shared humanity. Finally, the text introduces the idea of "TAKERS" as individuals stuck in a stage of perceived godhood and describes how to identify them, particularly in contrast to "GIVERS."
