E205 The Convenience of Dogma: Why Black-and-White Thinking Feels Safe but Blocks Growth
Description
In this episode of The Infinite Spark of Being, Keith explores the deceptive comfort of black-and-white thinking — and how clinging to rigid beliefs can quietly block our spiritual and psychological growth. Whether it's in politics, religion, or modern spirituality, dogma often offers the illusion of safety by outsourcing our thinking. But true spiritual awakening asks us to question, examine, and step into the discomfort of nuance.
Keith reflects on why we gravitate toward ideologies that do our thinking for us and explains how real transformation begins with inquiry — not obedience. Drawing on Plato’s dialectic, Tibetan Buddhist debate, and the practice of self-inquiry, this episode invites you to return to your own inner authority and remember who you truly are beneath the programming.
This is not about taking sides — it’s about taking back your mind.
