What you're looking for, you won't find. But only by looking for it can it find you.
Charles EisensteinIt is the cry of the separate self, โWhat about me?โ As long as we keep acting from that place, it doesnโt matter who wins the war against (what they see as) evil. The world will not deviate from its death-spiral.
Charles EisensteinA revolution that leaves our conceptualization of self and world intact cannot bring other than temporary, superficial change. Only a much deeper revolution, a reconceiving of who we are, can reverse the crises of our age.
Charles EisensteinWe have to create conditions where people feel safe to feel and to care. That goes against a lot of our programming about how to make something change in the world. Sometimes you can pressure people into changing, you can force them, but the powers-that-be have more force than we do. I don't think we're going to win in a contest of force. I think we need to induce a change of heart. The narrative of "us versus them" is ultimately part of the problem. Traditional activism, which is about overcoming the latest bad guy, isn't deep enough. It just brings us another version of the same.
