83. The Nature of Human Beings | Series: Two Philosophers Wrestle With God | Dialogue 7 [Part 1]

GOD: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher - The Podcast

Join host Scott Langdon as he connects Dr. Richard Oxenberg and Dr. Jerry L. Martin in Where Two Philosophers Wrestle with God, to discuss God's revelation to Jerry about the nature of human beings and how humans and God relate.
Is God geocentric- focused on what's happening on the Earth? Is God anthropocentric- focused on the development of human beings? To answer these questions, this dialogue also delves into Darwinian evolution (with a teleological dimension), consciousness, identity, infinite worlds, Leibniz, and Sri Aurobindo.

The Atman, or Self behind the Self, is united with Brahman- fundamental reality, the Divine, or God. God's consciousness flows and develops in response to humans' discovery and perception of the Self behind the Self, or Atman. Explore humans' intimate connection with God as a co-partner in a shared world of creation.

He has served as the head of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the University of Colorado philosophy department and is the founding chairman of the Theology Without Walls group at the AAR.
