And that higher power is yourself too. The observer. Stepping back. It's better not to tell your story, unless you're a great story teller and then you can tell everyone's story, cause they're all the same! A beautiful circle.

Comparing trauma isn't really entirely appropriate, so it can be quite dismissive to say we're not suffering as bad as our ancestors. Whilst that may look right on paper, we're all fighting our own battles and everyone's suffering is legitimate.

Its all about becoming the observer! We were never meant to come to this earth and become emotionally or psychologically attached to the occurrences of our lives or the lives of others. We can, in ever moment, hold a place of compassion for that happens and for all beings. But our true purpose for being here is to gather the wisdom of the occurrences of our journeys here and return home. The ego took over some time ago and the result of that take over is the world we live in today. We can return to the perspective of the observer and life immediately becomes more fluid just like the movement of the sardines or birds in murmuration. And when we rise to the place or perspective of the observer, we no longer have the need to judge and therefore we become accepting and fluid with all that occurs in this life journey!

Amazing conversation, per usual. Thank you both. The pain theme struck a cord as it relates to the typical modern birth process. Was hoping you guys would touch on that in addition to the death + war offshoot. I chose an unmedicated home birth - transformation through discomfort. I've heard Zach allude to this process/reality specific to birth in other conversations, and how most modern births rob the mom-baby-family from that experience. I theorize that this dissonance starting with a medicated (often c-section) birth is a main contributor to the pain management/avoidance paradigm currently at play. So many more topics to cover! Keep them coming guys, and thanks again!

Us women have acute empathic awareness through the process of giving birth. The overarching power and economic structure resulting in war has been imposed on us precisely due to our vulnerabilities in this state of pregnancy and caregiving for our young. I like to think this is changing but there is a poweeful historical precedent at play. Perhaps the paradigm shift we seek is to leave behind patriarchy and connect with our inherent female energy.
@catherinekasmer99055 жыл бұрын
We've been living in the male dominated world for all time. I'm simply suggesti g that historically women haven't organized themselves into packs that charged forth with weapons to brutally slaughter themselves as a way to solve a problem. Maybe let's look at various cultures and communities of women who have not utilized violence, dominance and exploitation to organize themselves. We don't need to reinvent the wheel. The point isn't to have all females, it is to learn from the wisdom inherent in the half of the people who have the babies. We all have a male and female side and to be healthy they need to be in balance. The same is true for society as a whole.
@HHLPA3 жыл бұрын
I agree with you, this is a time for women and female energy and I keep getting inspired everyday by womens resilience, self-sacrifice and ability to take care of themselves and others needs. My own mother has been the primary breadwinner AND primary caregiver in my family and I hope I can one day give her back everything she has given me. But I have to disagree with you that the entire system has been imposed on you. The feminist revolution took place precisely because of the realization that it wasn't a one-way street relationship, and awareness and behavior change from the part of women (and men, too, even if reluctantly) brought about all the changes that we're still adapting to. Women know how to play the game of power as well or better than men and how to, like kings and lords (politicians and corporations in this day and age), benefit from those 2 armies clashing against each other. The biggest change we need in this century is the abolition of hierarchy and the internet is helping to bring that about by showing us how naked people in power and so called experts are. We just need better cooperative processes and global society could radically change in a very short amount of time.

I was trying, but I find it hard to listen to the glorification of pain. Especially the claim that there was no fear in WW I trenches. If expressing your fear can literally get you killed (was deserters were shot) and you live in a culture that equals fear with cowardice, of course you don‘t write home about your fear. But if you manage to come home at all the odds are that you are traumatized for life. And still you live in a culture that says „stop whining and be glad you are alive“ and all that trauma stays within you. Soldiers who survived WWII weren‘t treated any better. Then you are completely alone, you have no reference point to connect with yourself or anyone else. It was horrid. I am the child of a man who came home with this raw lump of endless horror inside him. It gave him screaming nightmares for the rest of his life and there was nothing in his world to help him heal, because in those days society said: if anything is wrong with your psyche you are mad, so shut up“. And to this day soldiers who come home with PTSD are sometimes looked at askance, because the „crucible of pain“ Bush talks about so airily has failed to turn them into a diamond and just damaged them instead. If we can only learn compassion while standing in a river of blood and feces while taking a shower of exploding human we are doomed indeed. Neither can physical pain be used as a shortcut to any kind of connection. Should we learn how to touch each other so that we can reduce the painkillers? By all means! But don‘t glorify butchery whether for war or barbecue. So now I‘ve listend to the very end, suicidal fish, angels and everything. And I still think that we need all the empathy in the world to figure out what the hospice nurses figured out: Dying people need more human touch and less painkillers. We need all the empathy in the world to acknowledge the suffering of our loved ones instead of reflexively papering it over by saying ‚it will be alright‘. And to do all that we need all the empathy in the world to look at the raw lump of suffering in ourselves and learn to make it better instead of masking it. And so thank you for this podcast. I may have shouted my disagreement while I listened, but it made me think harder than a podcast where I nod agreement at every word.

Vegan Rican1 There is two parts to growing. The pain, yes, but then you have to work your way through it and hopefully come out on the other side having actually grown.
