We are all here to contribute our gifts toward something greater than ourselves, and will never be content unless we are.
Charles EisensteinWe in the richest societies have too many calories even as we starve for beautiful, fresh food; we have overly large houses but lack spaces that truly embody our individuality and connectedness; media surround us everywhere while we starve for authentic communication. We are offered entertainment every second of the day but lack the chance to play. In the ubiquitous world of money, we hunger for all that is intimate, personal and unique.
Charles EisensteinProperty is, after all, a social convention, an agreement about someone's exclusive right to use a thing in specified ways. However, we seem to have forgotten this. We seem to think that property belongs to us in some essential way, that it is of us. We seem to think that our property is part of ourselves, and that by owning it we therefore make ourselves more, larger, greater.
Charles EisensteinEach experience of love nudges us toward the Story of Interbeing, because it only fits into that story and defies the logic of Separation.
