Seeking Awe
This is a podcast of just a normal guy sharing his personal spiritual journey; aka my awe seeking journey. I also plan to interview other seekers with inspiring stories. I'll be touching on a variety of topics such as psychedelics (including my own trip reports as I begin exploring some of these compounds for the first time), movement, adventure, mindfulness, and the nature of reality.
Seeking Awe
Ants, God, & The Future of Humanity

Zachary Anderson
Ant colonies are an incredible example of emergent phenomena; where a complex process emerges from simpler parts. I also believe this is a beautiful analogy for how I like to think of "God". Thinking about a higher power as analogous to this inherent intelligence that emerges out of ant colonies, can help bring ideas of a "God" back down to earth a little. What might the hive mind of humanity look like? If we are all just ants guided by the laws of Nature, what is Nature building through us? What is our ant hill?
