The Force That Drives Our Civilization | Charles Eisenstein

Charles Eisenstein, a Yale graduate and economist, explains how every culture has a way of asking questions that are fundamental to understanding ourselves. However, science is beginning to confirm that the story that we have been taught to believe about ourselves: namely, that we are discreet, separate individuals, is built upon a faulty understanding of the Universe. As we learn more and more about the dynamic intelligence of the natural world, humanity is beginning to realize that we are a part of billions of years of evolution and life that is working together in one larger system. The time has come for us to re-examine the stories that we believe about ourselves in relationship with all life. When we are able to do this well, we will understand how to make better decisions that do not cause damage and destruction to the living world.
