Basia's Thoughts Basia

In the previous episode we noted that merely focusing on practicing the mutually beneficial win-win situations will not fulfil our longing for meaning and connection.

What is more satisfying than the currently addictive model of society? The key to this question has been presented to us for thousands of years in all so...

They may originate in traumas, developmental traumas and this form our personalities, telling us who we are.They may come from our society and be partially factual or fictional.By moving beyond our current identity we can loosen the grip they have on us.This move will also tend to move us beyond just mutually beneficial exchanges, where we exchange one thing for another, into deeply meaningful and satisfying interactions.If yo...
