Solid but Not Spiritual
If you're "spiritual but not religious," you're more than welcome here!
For those who identify as Spiritual but Not Religious, I offer a full disclosure: I no longer believe in the supernatural, and I include most flavors of “spirituality” in my definition of supernatural, so the CODA Project is unlikely to help you in that regard.
However, I hope you’ll agree that the Project’s focus on values, morality, ethics, logic, and reason can be beneficial for those who are exploring the ideas related to enlightenment and spirituality.
Build Solid Beliefs
The CODA Project is designed to help you feel solid in your beliefs and values, even as you explore what being “spiritual” means to you. While you might not find discussions about chakras, auras, or other typical spirituality topics here, what you will find is a supportive space to delve into what truly matters to you. I focus on helping us align our lives with our core values—those deep-seated principles that guide our actions and decisions—without the need for supernatural beliefs.
The journey of spiritual exploration is a deeply personal one, often filled with questions about purpose, meaning, and what it means to live a fulfilling life. The CODA Project encourages that exploration but does so through the lens of logic, reason, and ethical reflection. Here, you can engage with content that challenges you to think critically about your beliefs and to solidify what you stand for, even as you remain open to new ideas and perspectives.
Anchor and Explore
In a world where spiritual practices can sometimes feel nebulous or ungrounded, the CODA Project offers a way to anchor yourself in values that you create and define. You’re invited to explore what it means to live a good life, not through the lens of any particular religious or spiritual doctrine, but through a process of self-discovery and intentional alignment with your values.
The key is that you are in control of your journey. The CODA Project doesn’t tell you what to believe or how to live; instead, it offers tools and resources to help you make those decisions for yourself. Whether you’re seeking clarity, stability, or a deeper understanding of your place in the world, the CODA Project is here to support you as you navigate these profound questions.
Next Steps
If the CODA Project speaks to your need for a solid foundation in your beliefs and values, here’s how you can get started:
1. Join the Mythologizing the Bible webinars: These sessions offer a unique perspective on ancient texts, treating them as sacred myths that reveal universal truths. It’s an opportunity to engage with traditional spiritual narratives from a fresh, critical perspective that prioritizes logic and reason.
2. Explore our other content: Dive into the articles, podcasts, and videos available on the CODA Project website. The content is designed to help you reflect on your life, challenge your assumptions, and align your actions with your core values—all without relying on supernatural explanations.
3. Look out for the first Weekly CODA post, coming in the fall of 2024: This series will provide a structured, community-oriented way to reflect on life’s big questions with those closest to you. It’s an ideal way to ground your spiritual exploration in a solid foundation of values and ethical principles.
The CODA Project invites you to explore what it means to live a life of purpose and meaning—without the need for supernatural beliefs. We’re here to support you as you build a solid foundation in your values and continue your journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
Welcome to the CODA Project—where your journey is uniquely yours, and where we support each other in aligning our lives with our core values!
