#4 When the Heart Awakens, Everything Changes—The Third Turning

     The Third Turning is the movement from the head to the heart chakra and into higher consciousness, from a shared belief in separateness and duality to a realization of the interconnectedness of all things. This shift is not new. Individuals have achieved it for millennia. The Lakota prophet, White Buffalo Calf Woman, announced the Third Turning with her refrain, mitakuye oyasin, “All my relations!”—We are all related: All humans, all animals, all plants and rocks. Jesus said the same thing: “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Einstein spoke of the ending of the “optical delusion” that all things, all beings, are disconnected and alone. What will be new about the Third Turning is groups of individuals achieving this transformation of consciousness, this paradigm shift, and, together, changing the world. 00:00 Introduction 00:29 Summary of First and Second Turnings 01:03 First use of fire and language.
