Genesis and the Re-Education of the Human Mind with Joe Atman | Created in the Image of God 186

Philosopher and educator Joe Atman approaches the Book of Genesis as a universal and familiar entry point for rethinking how humanity learns—and why we so often mistake information for understanding.

Rather than treating Genesis as theology, he interprets it as a map of consciousness: a story of curiosity, judgment, and rediscovery that mirrors our intellectual and moral evolution. Drawing on his experience at Middle Tree, where reimagining education means restoring wonder to the learning process itself, Atman explores how true learning begins with humility—and how the human mind must continually be re-educated to perceive meaning beyond its own assumptions.

This conversation moves between philosophy, discovery, and the renewal of learning itself—a journey back to the source, where creation and education meet.
