Basically, he urged that we do the same thing we did this time, only more thoroughly and more broadly. […] The post Pandemania, Part 4 first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

Note to readers: I considered dividing this essay into seven parts, because it is long and in some places pretty dense. So set aside some time to drop in with it. It weighs in at over 8,000 words — just what they recommend to maximize virality. Or maybe that was 800 words. An audio version […] The post Transhumanism and the Metaverse first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

I just finished listening to Joe Rogan’s interview with Bob Lazar, a man who claims to have worked at a super-secret military installation some miles from Area 51 called S4, where he was tasked with reverse-engineering a UFO propulsion system. My gut feeling was that this man is telling the truth. He seemed humble, undramatic, and honest […] The post Compartmentalization: UFOs and Social Paralysis first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

Last weekend I spoke to a lovely gathering of people in Hudson, NY, on themes of gratitude, sorrow, humility, and reunion. One thing I remember saying is that, much as it may be that our civilization sorely lacks humility and gratitude, these are not virtues to aspire to, nor are they goals to attain.

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.
