More quotes by Charles Eisenstein
What makes you care about nature, about the planet? Is it really that you're afraid of what's going to happen if you don't take care of it? Or is it that you actually love the planet, and regardless of your self-interest and regardless of its instrumental use to you, you want to take care of it?
Charles Eisenstein
There is a vast territory between what we're trying to leave behind, and where we want to go - and we don't have any maps for that territory.
Charles Eisenstein
Trust your intuition and be guided by love.
Charles Eisenstein
I think most kids have a sense that it's not supposed to be this way. You're not supposed to hate Monday, or be happy when you don't have to go to school. School should be something that you love. Life should be something that you love.
Charles Eisenstein
True discipline is really just self-remembering no forcing or fighting is necessary.
Charles Eisenstein
We are not just a skin-encapsulated ego, a soul encased in flesh. We are each other and we are the world.
Charles Eisenstein
More than a mere alternative strategy, regenerative agriculture represents a fundamental shift in our culture’s relationship to nature.
Charles Eisenstein
The present convergence of crises - in money, energy, education, health, water, soil, climate, politics, the environment, and more - is a birth crisis, expelling us from the old world into a new.
Charles Eisenstein
Real change doesn't come without crisis. Childbirth doesn't come without crisis. I think that's happening with humanity now. Our growth has generated multiple crises...and these are the contractions that are propelling us into a new world, whether we like it or not, but I think we're going to like it.
Charles Eisenstein
In a gift economy, the more you give, the richer you are.
Charles Eisenstein
The state of interbeing is a vulnerable state. It is the vulnerability of the naive altruist, of the trusting lover, of the unguarded sharer. To enter it, one must leave behind the seeming shelter of a control-based life, protected by walls of cynicism, judgment, and blame.
Charles Eisenstein
Each experience of love nudges us toward the Story of Interbeing, because it only fits into that story and defies the logic of Separation.
Charles Eisenstein
What you're looking for, you won't find. But only by looking for it can it find you.
Charles Eisenstein
It is quite normal to fear what one most desires. We desire to transcend the Story of the World that has come to enslave us, that indeed is killing the planet. We fear what the end of that story will bring: the demise of much that is familiar.Fear it or not, it is happening already.
Charles Eisenstein
The world is on fire! Why am I sitting in front of my computer? It is because I don’t have a fire extinguisher for the world, and there isn’t a global 911 to call.
Charles Eisenstein
We have to create miracles. A miracle is not the intersession of an external divine agency in violation of the laws of physics. A miracle is simply something that is impossible from an old story but possible from within a new one. It is an expansion of what is possible.
Charles Eisenstein
We are all here to contribute our gifts toward something greater than ourselves, and will never be content unless we are.
Charles Eisenstein
For a machine to run smoothly and predictably, its parts must be standard and hence replaceable, features which contribute, respectively, to modern depersonalization and anxiety.
Charles Eisenstein
The logic is backwards. Genius is the result of doing what you love, not a prerequisite for it.
Charles Eisenstein
Each person you interact with, is an entire universe unto themselves, a Divine Being, unspeakabley precious.
Charles Eisenstein
