Summary

Why does genocide keep happening—and what can we actually do about it? In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, we zoom out from the headlines and explore the deeper, often overlooked cause of war, violence, and mass suffering: a stressed collective consciousness. Rather than pointing fingers or choosing sides, this conversation invites you to look inward and ask, What am I contributing to the collective—peace or stress? We explore how real change begins on the inside, how personal inn...

In this spiritual perspective, we're going to talk about genocide. This is not about offering a

0:05.6

strategic solution to a specific genocide that is happening on the planet right now. This is more

0:11.2

of a broader perspective of a long-term solution that we as individuals can start implementing

0:17.3

as of today in order to help to prevent genocides that are happening both now

0:22.3

as well as in the future. Because from a spiritual perspective, a genocide is really less of a story

0:28.6

about those people over there who are doing this horrible thing to this other group of people

0:32.3

and trying to figure out who's right and who's wrong. And it's more of a story about us, meaning who are we in

0:40.5

relationship to those kinds of conflicts that are happening around the planet? Why do we allow such

0:46.6

things to happen under our watch? And what can we do to help bring about more peace? Because from

the ground level perspective, it looks like

0:55.4

the genocide or the conflict or the war is happening because this leader did this thing, which led

1:01.7

to this event, which cascaded into this other outcome. Some people say that it started many

1:07.0

years ago or decades before from this other event. Other people claim that it's justified

1:11.8

in religious texts and that this event from that book led to this other event. And again,

1:16.7

this is ground level perspective. I'm not saying that that's not relevant, but that's the storyline

1:21.0

when we're looking at it very up close at that ground level perspective. So when we get a chance to

1:25.1

zoom out and observe it from more of a spiritual perspective,

1:29.1

the 30,000 foot view, all conflict, it doesn't matter who started it, doesn't matter who's involved

1:34.2

in it. All conflict on the planet in history is a symptom of a stressed collective consciousness.

1:41.9

Now, what is a collective consciousness? Collective consciousness means the sum total of all of the individuals that are on the planet.

1:50.1

So if you think of it kind of like water in a fish bowl, right? Now, if the water is clean and

1:56.7

purified, then the fish are generally speaking going to be healthy and they're going to do what
