How to Move Beyond Technocracy In turbulent times, society becomes vulnerable to false meaning-makers who would rescue us from our bewilderment. They offer to collapse complication and chaos into simple explanations for what is happening. They tell you what is real and what is not, who is good and who is bad. They pose a […] The post Reinventing Progress first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

I just watched a video, New Discoveries that Completely Alter Human History, on the After Skool YouTube channel. The thesis is that conventional archaeology has given us a false history of civilization, erasing a mighty global culture that flourished before the Younger Dryas impact event some 12,850 years ago. I am well familiar with this theory […] The post Parallel Timelines first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

John Perkins once told me a story of bringing a group to have an audience with the Dalai Lama. A woman asked him, “Is it important to pray for peace?” The Dalai Lama said, “Yes, praying for peace is very good, but if that is all you do you are wasting your time.” What he […] The post The Field of Peace first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

A couple years ago after a speech about ecological healing a man came up to me to ask a question. With a warm, friendly smile he drew me close and put a hand on my shoulder. “You mentioned in your speech that you have four children. What makes you think you have the right to […] The post Love-gift to the Future first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

I’m taking time off writing a long and frustrating essay to review a film I saw last night, Netflix’ popular Don’t Look Up. Spoiler alert! Maybe best to watch it first. In the film, a planet-killing comet is headed toward earth. The world responds mostly with disbelief. Humanity lowers its eyes onto its cellphone screens, memes, […] The post Comet of Deliverance first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

A member of an online community I co-host described a Match.com exchange in which her prospective date, upon finding she was only partially vaccinated, wished her death—the sooner the better. It was one of many similar, she said. Now it is probably a good idea to eliminate from the dating pool people who disagree with […] The post Divide, Conquer; Unite, Heal first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

The first principle of non-violent action is that of non-cooperation with everything humiliating.– Mohandas K. Gandhi I once read an account of bullying in rural America in the early 20th century. The narrator said, “If a victim did not stand up to them, there was no limit to how far the bullies would go.” He […] The post A Path Will Rise to Meet Us first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

Guest post by Darth Sidious Thank you for this opportunity to set the record straight. I don’t expect everyone to believe my alternative account of the events chronicled in the Star Wars films, since it runs so contrary to everything you think you know. I can offer you no proof that my version is correct; […] The post The True Story of the Sith first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

Heute scheint sich die westliche Welt, allen voran die Vereinigten Staaten, inmitten einer klassischen Girard’schen Opferkrise zu befinden. Einst verlässliche soziale Institutionen zerbröckeln. Die Öffentlichkeit verliert das Vertrauen in ihre politischen, finanziellen, rechtlichen und medizinischen Autoritäten. Die neue Generation ist ärmer und kränker als die letzte. Nur wenige, egal welcher politischen Überzeugung, glauben, dass die […]

Wir leben ein Doppelleben, zivilisiert in wissenschaftlichen und technischen Dingen, wild und primitiv in den Dingen der Seele. Dass wir uns nicht mehr bewusst sind, primitiv zu sein, macht unsere gezähmte Wildheit umso gefährlicher. – Hans von Hentig Die natürliche Ordnung gerät aus den Fugen.
