Key Take Aways:

Embrace the contradictions and dividedness that are inherent in being human.
Loss and death are fundamental aspects of existence that shape our experiences.
Grief should be acknowledged and processed as a natural part of life.
The death of God and the tearing of the temple curtain challenge the idea of liminality as a space where the finite and infinite meet.
Certain objects capture a sense of transcendence and the eternal within them, rather than behind them.
Christianity is radical in its belief in the death of God and the alienation within the divine.
Hope is the driving force that motivates us to work for something better in the present moment.
A better understanding of God in the modern world embraces self-division and ontological unknowing.
Living in the present moment and embracing self-division can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic experience of life.
