Addiction to Separation: The State of the World and the Story of the Future The Middle Way with Dr. Matthew Goodman
-
- Society & Culture
The story of separation—between human beings, and between humans and the planet—is growing stale. Is there another story waiting for us? Perhaps one of connection and unity?
If we are indeed being called into a new story, the invitation is coming through the symptoms of the world. The sense of separation and division is being amplified and mirrored back to us. Why?
This episode looks at symptoms of the world, namely the escalation between Russia and Ukraine (i.e., East and West), as an unconscious attempt to wake ourselves up. Like the process of addiction, a deeper intelligence knows that "rock bottom" may be the only way we change. Just as we do as individuals, the collective may be manifesting the conditions for deep transformation to occur. Let us do this with the least amount of suffering and as quickly as possible. ❤️
