1st Sunday Roundtable Hour: “Perception and Reality: Which determines what?”
Jim Mundt will facilitate the roundtable discussion. Carlos Castaneda was one of the first ‘New Age’ authors that celebrated the insights and philosophy of shamanism. Personal insights from his book “The Power of Silence” will be discussed. Philosophical viewpoints by Edwin A. Abbott, from his 1884 book “Flatland,” will also be considered. At the heart of our round-table discussion will be – “to what extent are our personal realities self-determined, or to what extent are they constrained by ‘objective realities’?
Welcome to the Free Congregation of Sauk County
We are a religious community made up of people from diverse backgrounds and different faith traditions who have chosen to embrace some common principles, among them the freedom to engage in our own personal search for truth and meaning. We require of no one a profession of theological belief or disbelief; rather, we seek to continually examine and clarify our basic principles and world views. We view religion as a question to be explored rather than as an answer to be received or revealed. We believe that ethical behavior and action is the only reasonable course for humans to pursue; consistent with that belief, we are united in our conviction that only by helping others and seeking to improve the world can we realize our full humanity.
