#91 (Part 2) The Coronation: How Conspiracy Theory Breeds Separation, The Gift Economy & Healing the Polarization that’s Paralyzing Our Society w/Charles Eisenstein

As a Yale graduate who studied Mathematics and Philosophy, our guest, Charles Eisenstein is now a public speaker, teacher, thought leader, and author who’s work covers a wide range of topics, including the history and themes of human civilization, money, consciousness, cultural evolution, spirituality, and the ecology movement. The Key themes he explores include anti-consumerism, interdependence and how myth and narrative influence culture.He believes that global culture is immersed in a destructive "story of separation", and one of the main goals of his work is to present an alternative "story of interbeing". Much of his work draws on ideas from Eastern philosophy and the spiritual teachings of various indigenous peoples. An advocate of the gift economy, he makes much of his work available for free, helping us all get closer to our center, where the truth of “we are one” resides.In this episode with him we explore:•His viral essay called “coronation“•How we strive to regain our “inter-beingness”•Has the BLM brought closer to or further from unity?•How we seek our medicine according to the configuration of our wounds•War mentality and are polarized society•The conspiracy myth: how conspiracy theories tap into an unconscious orthodoxy- the war against the other•How we begin to heal the polarization that is paralyzing our society, when we feel it is our health & “human rights” at stake•mistaking symptom for cause•How our money system creates scarcity•how the legalization of psychedelics will change our economy and our culture•Climate change•The gift economyMAJic Tricks:• “I see your essence”•Imagine your own funeralSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-majic-hour/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
