Episode 193 Navigating Divisiveness: Embracing Reverence in Difficult Conversations

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Real Enneagram, we continue to delve into the theme of "Know Your Soul," exploring the profound benefits of understanding our deeper selves, beyond the confines of our surface personalities. Joined by my co-hosts Scott Smith and Dr. Joseph Howell, we discuss the pervasive divisiveness in today's world, particularly in the realms of politics and personal relationships.We reflect on how our egos often trap us in cycles of judgment and conflict, making it challenging to engage with those who hold differing views. Joe shares a personal story about overcoming his ego's resistance to connect with someone who had harmed his family, illustrating the power of approaching others from a place of soul rather than ego.Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of curiosity and receptivity in our interactions. We highlight that true listening involves being open to being changed by others, fostering empathy and understanding even in the most volatile discussions.Ultimately, we recognize the power of being present and reverent to one another and open in our interactions, even when faced with challenging perspectives. Our hope is that by embracing these principles, together, we can contribute to a more peaceful and compassionate world. Thank you for joining us, and we look forward to continuing this journey of consciousness together.To learn more about the Institute for Conscious Being, visit: theicb.info
