    What is Deism?

    In this episode, Jay Forest unpacks Deism as a rational, individual path for the "spiritual but not religious." He defines it as belief in a non-intervening Creator God knowable through reason and nature's laws, contrasting it with theism's personal divine involvement. Identifying as a Deist philosopher blending Eastern wisdom, karma, and process thought, Jay draws on figures like Lord Herbert of Cherbury, Thomas Paine, and the Buddha to affirm freedom from creeds or temples. He invites listeners to embrace this "pathless path" of kindness, echoing the Dalai Lama: reason over religion, love for others, and making the world better.

    Spiritual but Not Religious

    In this episode, Jay Forest explores what it means to be “spiritual but not religious.” He contrasts religion’s institutional authority and conformity with spirituality’s personal experience of divine or cosmic unity, appealing to those who seek meaning beyond dogma. Identifying as a philosopher, a pursuer of wisdom, Jay roams freely among wisdom traditions—Daoism, Stoicism, Deism, and mysticism—guided by reason, contemplation, and openness. He invites listeners to walk the “pathless path,” reminding them that “not all those who wander are lost.”

    In Pursuit of Wisdom

    In this opening episode, In Pursuit of Wisdom, we explore what it truly means to be wise. From the silent observation of the “wise old owl” to the timeless insights of Socrates, Lao Tzu, Confucius, and others, the episode reflects on wisdom as both mystery and pursuit—a journey that shapes how we see ourselves and the world around us. Drawing on philosophy, spirituality, and psychology, the episode offers a working definition of wisdom as a cultivated perspective that brings self-knowledge, discernment of what is good and true, sound judgment in life’s decisions, and habits that lead to human flourishing. Listeners are invited to see wisdom not as a distant ideal but as a path we walk step by step, in the ongoing pursuit of understanding and a wiser way of living.
