Towards A Deeper Life
Welcome to Towards a Deeper Life.
This podcast explores concepts, texts, and systems of thought while reflecting on how these ideas can enrich your life and offer a deeper way to think about yourself and the world around you.
Towards A Deeper Life
01 - Worldviews and Worldspaces
Today’s episode focuses on the concepts of worldspaces and worldviews. A worldspace is “the sum total of stimuli that can be responded to (i.e., that have actual meaning or impact or registration)” (Ken Wilber, Sex, Ecology, Spirituality, 540, n13). And a worldview is the lens that helps us organize the large amount of information and sense data that we experience in a way that is meaningful and digestible.
We will explore how to connect with someone in a different worldspace, the limitations and influences of your own worldspace, and what entering a new worldspace looks and feels like.
