What does success mean? Charles Eisenstein, author of The More Beautiful World Our Heart Knows Is Possible and several others joins us this week for…

The post Episode 228: Charles Eisenstein - The More Beautiful World Our Heart Knows Is Possible first appeared on Bregman Partners.

The myth of the separate self underlies our entire civilization, says philosopher and author Charles Eisenstein. This dualistic view of the world pits people against each other and turns nature into something we want to control. But we can choose another story — one of interdependence and connection. By doing so we become able to solve “impossible” problems, from political polarization to global warming.

Can we build a more beautiful world that centers our interdependence?

In this episode Amisha speaks with Charles Eisenstein, social philosopher, author and public speaker.

They examine Covid19, systems no longer serving our processes and possibilities it presents for deep-seated cultural transformation. They explore the rise of collective grief and its embodiment of the ‘death of the old world’. Together they embrace the potential of sharing economies to form a new paradise of interdependence as a future way of life.

“We can build a more beautiful world. It is available to us. It’s begging us to step into its service. And when we do, when we bow into the service of this future, all kinds of synchronicities, and, and miracles can happen.” – Charles Eisenstein

Our society's war of narratives is preventing us from having thoughtful, meaningful conversations around a shared goal. How did we get here? And how can we hope to agree on conclusions if we also disagree on what counts as valid evidence?

The original, caring, and influential thinker Charles Eisenstein joins Terry to explore what’s really happening in this disorienting, liminal ordeal we find ourselves in — what he calls the “space between stories.” We confront the pattern of dehumanization we’re seeing across human culture, especially amidst our converging crises, and we consider what is required to support a pattern of sacralization — that continuously restores the sacredness of one another and the natural world through our listening, sensemaking, generosity, and relationships. Ultimately, we endeavor to expand our curiosity and play in a larger reality — with our minds and hearts more open to unknown forces and new possibilities considered “off limits” by dominant narratives.

Charles Eisenstein's work focuses on themes of human culture, identity, systems change, and personal growth. He transmits profound clarity, disarming openmindedness, and deep care for the human future and that of the more-than- human world. Charles is the author of several books, including Sacred Economics, The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible, and his newest book, Climate: A New Story. Two of his most recent & noteworthy essays are The Coronation and The Conspiracy Myth.

Here are some of the questions we discuss in the episode:

• Does our real security come from what we have, or what we give away?
• Among all that’s considered “off limits” in culture, can we discover essential stories and information?
• How does the pervasive tendency to “find the enemy” tend to reduce the natural world to commodities and profit?
• How can each conversation we have be a sacred opportunity to restore one another’s humanity?

Charles is a speaker, writer and self-described “degrowth activist” who focuses on healing humanity and planet Earth. He is the author of several books including The Ascent of Humanity, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, and Climate: A New Story. More recently he explored the COVID-19 pandemic in two insightful essays, The Coronation and The Conspiracy Myth - both well worth your time. 

In this conversation with Charles we discuss:

-     The interconnectedness of health

-     Healing as a return to wholeness

-     Why we need to explore our unconscious beliefs and biases

-     COVID-19 and the various narratives being put forward

-     The role of viruses, bacteria and fungi in human evolution

-     How the “Story of Separation” has led to suffering, loneliness and poverty

-     How believing we’re on "team good" leads to the endless quest for power and control

-     How myths play into the massive polarisation of society

-     How the pandemic could potentially be a pivot point in human history. From here we can choose another story - one of interdependence and love rather than fear and separation.

-     And soooooo much more…
