Narrative Knowledge and the Paradox of Philosophy
General theme: Narrative Knowledge
What are the consequences of our relying on narratives as a means to knowing, understanding and relating to the world?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of our using narratives as a fundamental way to communicate with one another?
Have our interactions and interrelationships in general become captivated (literally) by an excessive dominance of narratives?
Just as walking upright has enhanced our ability to navigate our physical world, so has communicating via language enhanced our ability to navigate our social as well as introspective worlds.
Dirt paths and asphalt roads we have created during our long process of walking upright have at the same time ultimately determined how we now currently interact with our physical landscapes - closed loops, literally and figuratively.
Have all our inherited created narratives also closed-looped our minds, rigidly structuring how we relate to our own selves and to others?
Is a key to cultural progress and evolution simply to add many new narratives, all expressing divergent perspectives? Or would de-narrating both our inner and outer worlds be an equally - possibly even more - valuable strategy?
With what could we replace narratives if we still wanted/needed to connect and interact with ourselves, with others and with the world?
Special theme: The Paradox of Philosophy
Are there better ways to arrive at insight, understanding and meaning than by thinking philosophically?
What we might call a "philosopher's paradox":
1.Philosophizing essentially demands optimizing our thinking (reasoning, conceptualizing, imagining...) as well as our overall awareness (of here, of now, of others, of self...).
2.Thinking typically diminishes awareness, and vice-versa.
3a. Western philosophy tends to prioritize thinking (abstract) over awareness (concrete).
3b. Much of western philosophy (even Phenomenology!) is consequently narrative in form.
Conclusion: Optimizing our thinking necessitates ridding of (or at least suspending) our awareness. Nevertheless, awareness remains a valuable vehicle for attaining knowledge and insight.
Is this "philosopher's paradox" simply an intellectual bug? Or is it a fundamental - arguably problematic - feature of our thinking that impedes us from knowing and experiencing anything most directly and fully?
What better ways are there in any case to understand the nature of ourselves, our world and our existence than through thinking and philosophy??
Is a dog or rabbit more in touch with being and reality than a human?

Spa for Your Soul: A Sacred Pause for Renewal and Wholeness
Join us at **Unity of Columbus** for *Spa for Your Soul*, a restorative and inspiring workshop designed to nourish your spirit, awaken your inner wisdom, and reconnect you with the sacred rhythm of life.
Drawing from the rich spiritual insights of **Matthew Fox** and the timeless theological wisdom of **Thomas Aquinas**, this workshop invites participants into a deeper experience of spirituality rooted in compassion, creativity, and divine presence. Together, we will explore spirituality not as something distant or abstract, but as a lived, embodied experience—one that honors joy, justice, beauty, and the inherent goodness of creation.
Through guided reflection, gentle spiritual practices, discussion, and contemplative moments, *Spa for Your Soul* offers a sacred space to release stress, renew clarity, and remember the divine spark within. This is an opportunity to pause, breathe, and tend lovingly to your soul—much like a spa experience, but for your inner life.
Whether you are seeking spiritual refreshment, deeper understanding, or simply a peaceful space to be present, this workshop welcomes you exactly as you are.
**Come, rest, reflect, and renew—your soul deserves it.**
