In this personal essay, Jamie Rice describes their journey of reconnecting with the idea of God and Source after rejecting religion in their youth. They share how they came to view God not through dogma or institutional religion, but as a living example of embodied coherence. Rice outlines four steps they practiced to show up with unconditional love, non-attachment, and non-judgment. As they reconciled guilt and shame, they gained deeper self-compassion and clarity. This led them to explore psychology, neuroscience, and the mechanics of duality and polarity to heal trauma, which they see as crucial in the biodigital era. Rice argues that beliefs about God often create polarization and contempt, and cautions against defending any single story about the divine as absolute truth.
Why it matters
As biodigital convergence amplifies polarization and contempt in society, this personal exploration of beliefs about God, Source, and the limitations of dogma offers an alternative perspective. Rice's journey highlights how attachment to specific beliefs can trap us in cycles of judgment and separation, and suggests that directly experiencing the uncontainable field of Source may be a path to greater harmony and clarity.
The details
Rice was raised Catholic but denounced God after a pedophile scandal rocked their family's church. In their 30s, they reconnected with the idea of God, not through dogma but by asking how Jesus would conduct himself today. They committed to practicing four steps: showing up in the present moment, giving up judgment, reconciling attachment and resistance, and practicing unconditional love. This helped Rice see the guilt, fear, and shame in their religious upbringing, and gain self-compassion. They were then guided to dive into psychology, neuroscience, and the mechanics of duality and polarity to understand trauma healing in the biodigital age.
- Rice denounced God completely in their teenage years after the pedophile scandal.
- At age 35, Rice reconnected with the idea of God, not through dogma but by asking how Jesus would act today.
