The Nature of Separation in Human Experience

Human civilization has been shaped by an underlying narrative of separation that fosters individual trauma, often unrecognized in the context of privilege. Charles Eisenstein notes that while personal suffering may not always manifest in dramatic ways, the fabric of society is intertwined with prevalent yet normalized traumas. He emphasizes that every individual experiences their own form of suffering and inner turmoil, regardless of their outward success or privilege. This shared yet diverse spectrum of experiences reflects a collective journey toward understanding and healing from separation.
