The New Story

The Coronation by Charles Eisenstein

28 March 2020 2 Comments

For years, normality has been stretched nearly to its breaking point, a rope pulled tighter and tighter, waiting for a nip of the black swan’s beak to snap it in two. Now that the rope has snapped, do we tie its ends back together, or shall we undo its dangling braids still further, to see what we might weave from them? Covid-19 is showing us that when humanity is united in common cause, phenomenally rapid change is possible. None of the world’s problems are technically difficult to solve; they … Continue reading

24 February 2020 Leave a Comment

Jeff Krasno interviews Charles Eisenstein on the Commune Podcast.... "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. By doing so we become able to solve “impossible” problems, from political polarization to global warming. "We touch on a lot … Continue reading

Connecting to “Them” | Charles Eisenstein

"Ι don't want to proselytize my particular version of a new story; I want to create conditions that serve the birth of that story and serve the spread of that story. "If I were talking to a 65-year-old man from Tennessee who watches Fox News, I would not articulate the story of interbeing. I would speak from an understanding of the story of interbeing, and I would try to speak in a way that communicates to him and will be received." Watch video

Earthrise & Extinction | Drew Dellinger

3 September 2019 Leave a Comment

Five decades after the explosion of ecological awareness, we need a global political movement to save what’s left of the biosphere, says Drew Dellinger.... "We are in a race between cosmology and capitalism. The worldview of endless growth, of exploitation of people, communities, and ecosystems, is collapsing the biosphere and choking the sky in just a few generations. The modern worldview is creating a single-use planet. In recent years, a new surge of authoritarian and fascist politics has … Continue reading
