Radical Empathy

I love Jonathan Haidt’s TED talk because it allowed me to feel something in a fresh way that I had previously understood intellectually. There are reasons—good reasons—why people hold beliefs that are dramatically different from my own.

“We are many parts, we are all one body,” we sing year after year, week after week, in church. But what if it’s actually true? What if there is only one consciousness, playing different roles? The idea that consciousness is fundamental is central to the beliefs expressed in these pages.
