80. Coronavirus - The New Human Story

If you have any thoughts feel free to email me at jeffk@onecommune.com. For now, stay centered. Follow the science. Don’t succumb to fear. And spread knowledge, not the virus.

75. The Story of Separation with Charles Eisenstein (Part 2)
The myth of the separate self underlies our entire civilization, says philosopher and author Charles Eisenstein. This dualistic view of the world pits people against each other and turns nature into something we want to control. But we can choose another story — one of interdependence and connection.
