In times of great polarity we talk about two ways of stepping out of it and gaining insight and perspective. The first method is related to ancient battle tactics, where the opponent wishes to distract you and create an internal fight, so that
We are currently finding ourselves in situations we would not have seen as justifiable only two years ago, and yet we are there. The situation is continuing to escalate as a totalitarian-like movement sweeps across the many countries. In thi

Understanding how and why judgement is problematic for us may be helpful in directing our attention towards alternative ways of being.In our society we have been trained away from our natural way of being into a way that is based around praise
In this short, short episode we connect some of the ideas we have spoken about. In particular we see how The Art of Silence, of practicing silence, is the origin of the language of the giraffe. This is Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communic
In this episode we primarily look at Hannah Arendt's 1951 book "The Origins of Totalitarianism" and try to see if we can recognise some of the dynamics she writes about, in our current covid-world.The prerequisites for the beginnings of a total
