James Twyman on the Essential Shifts

(4 ratings)

Join peace troubadour James Twyman and IONS President James O’Dea for a deep discussion of “the best of times and the worst of times,” and how our current global crises can drive a new level of spiritual evolution. In his work at the frontlines in Iraq, Kosovo, and many of the world’s war zones, Twyman has realized that we must dissolve our sense of otherness and recognize our shared humanity. Too often, we exaggerate our perceived differences rather than focus on our shared human aspirations. Together, they explore the psychology of enemies, the power of music to transform, the importance of embodiment, and the unique sensitivities and skills of the emerging “indigo” generation. Underpinning their discussion is a strong sense that conscious activism must focus our creative energy on what we want to create rather than simply what we oppose, and in doing so, express a higher-order integration based in love.
