Interbeing by Daniel Wahl

Leave a Comment

"We are participants in a dynamic whole within which we define ourselves and create our reality through our participation in relationships. To be is to interbe. "In many ways, the word ‘interbeing’ describes a shift in the perception of self and other that lies at the heart of co-creating regenerative human cultures and a sustainable human presence on Earth. Transformative innovation for regenerative cultures drives the shift from an industrial growth society, based on extraction and … Continue reading

The Age of We Need Each Other by Charles Eisenstein

Leave a Comment

Charles humbly reflects on his recent interview with Oprah which airs 16 July on SuperSoul Sunday.... "Every day we are asked, “What will you serve?” I had not the strength on my own to say yes to a life of service. Nor do I now, save for the help I receive from others who hold the field, the people who humble me every day with their generosity, sincerity, and selflessness. To the extent I am effective at what I do, it is because of you. "If I am right that my Oprah appearance is a marker … Continue reading

How to Love – Legendary Zen Buddhist Teacher Thich Nhat Hanh on Mastering the Art of “Interbeing”

Leave a Comment

“To love without knowing how to love wounds the person we love. To know how to love someone, we have to understand them. To understand, we need to listen.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh "What does love mean, exactly? We have applied to it our finest definitions; we have examined its psychology and outlined it in philosophical frameworks; we have even devised a mathematical formula for attaining it. And yet anyone who has ever taken this wholehearted leap of faith knows that love remains a mystery — perhaps … Continue reading

The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible – Charles Eisenstein [Official]

"Filmed in the fading light on the shores of Northern Scotland, this short film captures Charles Eisenstein in a moment of grief and reflection. The familiar story of the past is crumbling, while the new story has yet to arrive. In a time of social and ecological crisis, what can we as individuals do in this space between? "An African proverb states "sometimes you must get lost in order to find your way." Leaders no longer believe their ideology and are just going through the motions. There’s a … Watch video

Scale in the Story of Interbeing | Charles Eisenstein

Leave a Comment

"We are transitioning away from a narrative that holds us separate from each other and the world, toward a new and ancient story that Thich Nhat Hanh calls interbeing. In that world worldview, self and universe mirror each other; whatever happens to any being is also happening in some corner of ourselves. Every act we take ripples out to affect the whole world, and eventually comes back to affect ourselves as well. Rupert Sheldrake articulates the same understanding as the principle of morphic … Continue reading

In a Rhino, Everything | Charles Eisenstein

Leave a Comment

"Love violates the story of separation. Love is the expansion of self to include another, whose well-being becomes part of one’s own. The healing of our planet will not come without love for our planet. It certainly won’t come from technological solutions that seek to more competently deploy resources and manage consequences. That is the path toward biofuel plantations, nuclear power plants, and geoengineering schemes that threaten catastrophic consequences. If someone loves the rhinos, and … Continue reading
