What an incredible conversation!! I identify with the entire bag of experiences you both bring to this table. Marcus, the striving and addiction to finding my value in others (And how much the pandemic brought it too light). Jeff, of course the loss of faith. Through this conversation though, I thought more about that God presence and I really do think anyone (even a non believer) can see the hope and good that Marcus references as an underlying current or force, if you will, that supports us in some way. For me right now it helps to shift away from that force being a traditional “person” entity (but I used to identify with Marcus’s having a “Buddy” for sure!) Dipping into esoteric practices (like Tarot for example) helps me connect that force to an anima that could take the form of the universal elements... or even shapeless guides. Music, art, writing, and other forms of creativity shared by others, these are also guides that help me. (And often take shape in the “coincidences” Marcus mentioned!) Anyway, thank you both for the vulnerability in sharing! I can’t wait for Part 2!
