The America That Almost Was …And May Yet Be - Charles Eisenstein Speaks Out About Healing America and Why He Has Joined the RFK, Jr. Campaign
“The two-potty shit-show has been detrimental to us all, and now we have a chance to bring it down in one swell poop.” – Swami Beyondananda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_qrlIb7pCQ Here is the paradox of our current “bi-polar insanity” and “two-potty” political system. The two political sides seem more intractably polarized than ever, and yet there is a political movement emerging from what Charles Eisenstein calls “the Transcendent Center”, a great “upwising” if you will, that seeks to bring us together around “the common moral agreements, and basic human impulses that actually could unite our country.” You may know Charles as the spiritual-political philosopher whose books The Ascent of Humanity, Sacred Economics, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, and Climate—A New Story are about transforming our civilization’s obsolete and “obsolethal” (i.e., both obsolete and deadly) story of separation, into a unifying “story of interbeing.” We’re calling our in-depth Front and Center conversation with Charles “The America That Almost Was …And May Yet Be”, after an essay he wrote calling on us to collectively heal the trauma of John F. Kennedy’s “interrupted dream” https://bohemian.com/a-dream-interrupted-1/, acknowledge we were lied to, and then pick up where JFK left off to bring about that “more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.” Charles calls the JFK assassination a “mythic event”, where the official narrative is based on a lie, and that has over the past sixty years, “normalized deception.” “If you pretend to believe a lie, and you act as if it’s true,” says Charles, “then everything begins to disintegrate, and you will accept one lie after another after another.” That’s the “shituation” we find ourselves in. His mission is “healing America” so we can metabolize this trauma and begin to restore trust in our institutions by making them trustworthy. At the forefront of this mission, he says, is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s presidential campaign, which he has joined as Communications Director and speech writer. This has been a risky and controversial move, so you’ll want to find out why Charles made it. Until now, Charles contends, we have passively allowed our political choices to be dictated to us – dividing us into “opinion tribes” that serve the current power structure. We have been diverted by “identity issues” based on our differences, so that we fail to focus on the “identical issues” that unite us – for example, the chronic illness epidemic that of all the candidates, only RFK, Jr. is willing to address. “We don't have to accept the way the politics has been,” Charles says. “We don't have to accept the choices that are being offered to us. We don't have to accept the menu that we are given, we can write a new item on the menu, or we can discard the menu entirely – and offer a new set of choices.” Regardless of who you plan to vote for – or not vote for – in November, find out why it’s ESSENTIAL for Robert Kennedy Jr. to be on the ballot in every state, and to have his voice heard on the debate stage as well. As for the question, “Can he win?” Charles substitutes a more pertinent question: “Are we the people READY for him to win?” Are we ready to disrupt politics as usual, and take command of our own political destiny? We can give Swami Beyondananda the final word: “Now is the time because it is too late to do it sooner.” LINKS KENNEDY Featured Videos covering his policy positions and much more; https://www.kennedy24.com/news-videos Robert F.
