Mathew koder: The Pursuit of Understanding God and Ourselves: A Mystic's Perspective

In ‘The Pursuit of Understanding God and Ourselves’ episode of What is God? podcast, we explore the essence of God and spirituality with our special guest, Matthew Koder. As a mystic and yogi, Matthew shares his profound insights and spiritual wisdom that will inspire you to dive deep into the mysteries of the divine.

Matthew believes that shedding the boundaries of belief and disbelief is the key to understanding God. He encourages us to approach spirituality with a sincere heart and curiosity and to seek God within ourselves.

Throughout our conversation, we discuss the universal super intelligence, the boundless state of existence, and the personal experience of God. We also delve into Matthew's own journey of going from belief to disbelief and back again and how it led him to a deeper understanding of the divine.

Mathew Koder : From atheist to mystic-monk, an ex-marine turned yogi and performance coach tells his honest and universal definition of God and his journey to it.

“I went from believing to disbelieving and then in my disbelieving state the level of mental-emotional suffering that I experienced increased so radically that I reached a fever pitch of pain."
