In this episode, Laura Dawn speaks with influential thought leader and author of Sacred Economics and The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, Charles Eisenstein.
We discuss:
- Charles' recent psychedelic experiences of ego-dissolution
- How psychedelics have influenced him as a thought leader
- Wise advice for the psychedelic leaders of our time
- The process of reintegration back into the matrix and old paradigm after psychedelic experiences.
- How this psychedelic renaissance is different than the 60’s
- The role psychedelics are playing to help us move from the narrative of separation towards interbeing
- The foundational importance of understanding our psychedelic experiences through the lens of relationship and connection.
- Charles’ thoughts on letting go, truth, trust and courage.
- The subtleties of the “war on self.”
- Reframing activism by moving away from the narrative of trying to “make things happen” versus connecting to the larger universal intelligence and listening, and then allowing things to happen.
- How plant medicines are helping us move through this time of upheaval and transition?
- Conceptual frameworks (like eastern philosophy or quantum physics) he draws upon as helpful psychedelic roadmaps
