Great episode! Your two-question template for measuring one's spiritual belief is very elegant and practicable. I agree about the shortcoming of certainty. The clear-flowing brook can be more sustaining than the stagnant pool which can harbor disease. One set of steps toward the Infinite does not bring you any closer to complete understanding because the Mystery is infinite, and therefore our understanding will never be complete. Thanks for the reminder of that!

I love the imagery of the clear-flowing brook versus the stagnant pool. Thanks!
