Clarifying Reality—
An online magazine offering a space for rethinking our beliefs about God, reality, ourselves, and how we live…
through the lens of an emerging worldview.
Clarifying Reality: Why Now?
Because people around the world are beginning to notice cracks in our long-held beliefs about reality, religion, and the effects they have on our everyday lives.
A dynamic picture of reality is emerging
For centuries, we believed the world was a collection of solid, separate “things.” But today, a far more dynamic picture is emerging. What we once thought of as isolated objects are now better understood as patterns of energy, probabilities, and interactions within an ever‑evolving cosmic web.
Reality, as we’ve known it, is fading into the background and a new worldview is unfolding.
Old beliefs are being reshaped
As the momentum towards a new view of reality builds, old frameworks and dogmatic beliefs about God, our place in the universe, our purpose, and the meaning of life, are being challenged and reshaped.

How the Christian God Was Made
For most of human history, religions have evolved in response to the worlds people lived in. Christianity was no exception. The Christian God did not arrive fully formed but emerged from a turbulent era shaped by political unrest, cultural blending, competing spiritual traditions, and the needs of an empire searching for unity.

Implications of an Evolving Concept of God
As our understanding of reality evolves, our concept of God is evolving with it. This shift has far-reaching implications for how we think about the sacred, religion, spiritual practice, and even life after death.

About the Articles
The articles throughout this publication are rooted in a bold premise: we are living at the dawn of an emerging worldview—one that differs in important ways from the worldview many people still rely on today.
There are no easy answers, but it’s increasingly clear that deepest beliefs are being questioned across the world. Assumptions about what is true and what is false are being re-examined. Long‑standing religious and cultural frameworks are being challenged, reinterpreted, or reconsidered. And our once‑common assumption that humanity occupies a uniquely central place in a universe of hundreds of billions of galaxies spread across 93 billion light‑years is becoming harder to sustain in light of what we now know.
Much of this shift is fueled by scientific discoveries that challenge older assumptions about how the universe works. It also reflects the growing sense of unease many people feel as the complexities of modern life outpace the frameworks we inherited.
The articles on this website speak to these matters—not to provide definitive answers, but to open inquiry into what might be possible as we move toward the future and participate in the shaping of a new worldview.
Homo Sapiens
A Story of Adaptation, Invention, and Survival
As Homo sapiens, we are the sole survivors of a lineage that once included many human species. We enduredwhere others vanished largely because of our ability to adapt to changing conditions and to invent new ways of living.
Today, the pace of change staggers the imagination.
Interconnectivity has become more obvious
We are more interconnected than ever via the internet. We are vastly more knowledgeable than our cave-dweller ancestors.
Yet we cling to outdated beliefs, inherited from times long gone, that no longer serve us in the new realities of today’s world.
Rethinking our worldview
Still, the cracks in our belief systems, social structures, political frameworks, and sense of well being, brought on by our growing sense of interconnectivity, are no longer easy to ignore.
And so, the journey of homo sapiens continues, now with the task, once again, of rethinking our worldview in light of our updated sense of reality, and what we now need to do in order to survive.
