Episode notes

i think it's an existential question really, for are the stories that we used to hold so closely. What are the kind of symptoms of being in between stories? Political divergences, if not chaos, right? Ah, say say, what's going on in congress, and what's been going on for quite a while. I mean, it's not simply that obama is in part african american, and and a lot of people don't like having that kind of president. But i think there's something much deeper going on,. The tension or the gridlock in washington is, in a way, a symptom of increasingly divergent understandings of the world by people

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! NOTE: Please forgive the strange audio glitches in the interview. The content of this interview is still awesome. :)
