Charles Eisenstein shares his vision for a more beautiful world that our hearts know is possible. He explains why all the crises we experience today, are rooted in the single origin of separation, and how by healing this wound within ourselves, we can heal the world. Charles dives deep on the importance of energetic intention within any revolution for change, the limitations of labeling things as 'good' and 'bad', and how to alchemize anger into a collective awakening. In this era of change, everyone plays a role. And each person's role is just as valuable, no matter how big or small it may seem. Charles shares the vision of a harmonious collective consciousness, and how you alone can contribute to it.   ___________ Timecodes: 0:00 Intro 2:37 The Peril of Separation in Our Society 11:31 Why Energetic Intention is Essential for Change 16:35 Transforming Our Anger into Awakening 22:04 Why 'Good' and 'Bad' Labels are a Limitation 26:11 The More Beautiful World That is Possible: A State of Interbeing 29:50 Charles' Personal Experiences & Working with Robert F Kennedy 33:38 How our Purpose is Unveiled to Us 39:57 The Power of a Harmonious Collective Consciousness 43:34 How You Alone Can Make a Difference 46:17 Creating Spaces & Communities to Experience Our New Reality 49:31 Will Things Get Worse Before They Get Better? 54:29 Robert F Kennedy as a Presidential Candidate 58:31 Life is a Gift 1:01:39 Conclusion   ___________   Charles Eisenstein is a teacher, speaker, and writer focusing on themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution.
