    Compassionate Reasoning, the Future and Reconciliation

    Compassionate Reasoning, the Future and Reconciliation

    Building relationships through compassion and moral reasoning has a distinctive effect on the future of a country and its ability to reconcile with its past. There are specific ways to train the mind and incorporate this training into a new approach to education. We need more compassion, moral reasoning training, focus on the future, and focus on habit formation and mind training to flourish as a society and truly heal the conflicts that are holding us back from a sustainable future.

    Deepening Democracy : An Answer To Our Country’s Need For More Unity, Common Values, And Trust In Each Other

    Deepening Democracy : An Answer To Our Country’s Need For More Unity, Common Values, And Trust In Each Other

    In this week’s episode, Dr. Marc Gopin explores the concept of Deepening Democracy and how it is essential in our polarized United States. Deepening democracy and the celebration of democracy are critical to the way we need to think on a day-to-day basis. We need to celebrate the ideas of democracy. We need holidays not about presidents, not about heroes, and not about extraordinary figures. Instead, we need to celebrate freedom or the Bill of Rights. We need to celebrate the idea of people having to work together for compromise and sharing of power. There is a way for us to be kinder, smarter, and more cooperative in the United States. But it takes education, it takes making our best democratic ideas into a focal point of 1) our intellectual, cognitive, and emotional development, and 2) our social lives together as a nation of shared rituals, habits and celebrations.

    The Love Of This World – A Spiritual Philosophy Of Change

    "We need our minds working together on a philosophy of life, looking at the world around us in a way that is filled with love." - Dr. Marc Gopin

    In this week’s episode, Dr. Gopin explores how “The Love of this World” is an essential ingredient for the survival of the Earth’s biosphere. By focusing on how we can positively change our minds to change the world, this episode probes the way in which getting past humanity’s threat to the future of life on Earth depends upon our collectively finding ways to express an intense love of this world. We can develop a philosophy and a spirituality that embraces not only the Earth but all of humanity, even when we fight and oppose one another.
