Скачать или смотреть The Hierarchy of Knowledge and the Destruction of our Planet and World Soul

This video is an edited version of a webinar I hosted in 2022. [Sorry about the audio quality. There was an issue with my mic that day.]

This presentation explains how knowledge hierarchy (in mainstream Western society) has created faulty perceptions of the world that has led to destructive social and psychological systems. Consequently, the life force that nurtures the world, anima mundi or "soul of the world," has deadened. At the root of this worldview is a “not-enough” paradigm: we are not enough, we don’t have enough, and we must compete, commodify, and separate humanity from the rest of nature to compensate.

Our systems of education perpetuate this paradigm through hierarchical and patriarchal ways of producing and disseminating knowledge. To heal our collective social wounds, a re-balancing of the archetypal "feminine" and "masculine" ways of knowing (e.g., intuition vs. empiricism) needs to be made. To live with soul is a choice, and not a scientific study. This is the opportunistic time to re-assess our participation in destructive systems that deaden our sense of being and re-align ourselves to a more wholistic way of understanding the world.
