Summary
Charles Eisenstein shares his vision for a more beautiful world that our hearts know is possible. He explains why all the crises we experience today, are rooted in the single origin of separation, and how by healing this wound within ourselves, we can heal the world.
Charles dives deep on the importance of energetic intention within any revolution for change, the limitations of labeling things as 'good' and 'bad', and how to alchemize anger into a collective awakening.
In this era of change, everyone plays a role. And each person's role is just as valuable, no matter how big or small it may seem. Charles shares the vision of a harmonious collective consciousness, and how you alone can contribute to it.

| 0:00.0 | All that we see today that troubles us is the expression of a story that I call separation. |
| 0:07.0 | Every innovation, every technological revolution, all of these were a step into greater separation. |
| 0:13.0 | Every time that it gets uglier, every time that there's a new crisis, we are offered a choice. |
| 0:20.0 | Consciousness constructed this realm with all of its hellish |
| 0:24.0 | attributes in order for us to grow. Now the return journey begins to deprogram from that way of thinking. |
| 0:31.0 | You have to traverse a territory of bewilderment, of everything I thought I knew was wrong. Who I thought |
| 0:36.6 | I was, I am not really. And I don't know what's on the other side of it. This return journey home, it's not something that happens through a moment of enlightenment and then we're living in utopia. It's going to take many, many generations. A thousand years from now, our descendants are going to be giving thanks to their ancestors, but there's no guarantee that we're |
| 0:56.3 | going to go in the right direction. We have to make a choice. |
| 1:02.5 | Hello, beautiful beings. Welcome back to the Know Theyself podcast where every single week |

| 1:27.4 | faculties to help synthesize |
| 1:29.6 | and communicate what his spirit, his emotion, his heart tells him as possible. |
| 1:34.8 | And I think it resonates with so many people on the planet right now because we do feel |
| 1:38.0 | this possibility of a new earth, in my words, that is being birthed. |
| 1:43.0 | And so he is somebody that i feel like puts a lot of |
| 1:45.7 | beautiful perspective on the pain and justice um and tyranny that we that we see happening worldwide |
| 1:51.4 | on the planet right now and he reminds us how the stories and ideologies that we hold within |
| 1:55.6 | ourselves um have cosmic consequences on the planet within ourselves and the world around us at large so char Charles Eisenstein, thank you for coming on the show, brother. Hey, thank you.
