The Occupy movement was a manifestation of something that's going to continue manifesting in one form and another, he says. "It wasn't simply a matter of of a being able to offer the correct story at that point" The movement is mostly young people who have each other's telephone address and email addresses.
The first guest on Emerge is author, philosopher and activist David Loy. David and I first met at the Occupy Boulder General Assembly and our relationship grew from there. David work sits at the intersection of contemplative wisdom and social justice, making him a perfect first guest for Emerge.
In this episode we discuss the ways stories limit and liberate us, the symptoms of living in a world between stories, the nature of the (7+ billion) new stories, the difficulty of acting in integrity with what you know is true, and how to find the meaning of your life.
Enjoy!
