Death, Entanglement, and Individuation: How to be a Thriving Creature in a Collapsing World

Emergent Wisdom

Why do I think we should kill hope? Where did our collective denial of death originate? What’s the difference between individuality and individuation? And how is this all connected to our collapsing world? All of that and more in today’s episode.

We all have different relationships with what’s happening in the world; some of us gravitate towards denial, others depressed, while some feel incredibly angry, all of which are valid states of grief as we are feeling the world’s suffering in our bodies, whether we are aware of it or not.

But what if, as we move through the stages of grief all the way towards acceptance, something emerges? A fresh lens of anticipatory resoluteness and a genuine excitement to be alive and play a meaningful role in the world’s unfolding?

And what might that look like for you? Care to find out?
