I am not too familiar with Charles E., but I remember reading his book on the economics of nature many years ago, as I was reading through the different schools of economic thought. I was not satisfied with the mainstream views and still searching. That book changed my view of everything, forever. I bought a copy for my brother, who was not able to go there. Charles E. seemed like a guru type to me, and I mostly resist listening to gurus.
I watched this video today, and found nothing false or guru-ish about him.
At this time I am personally fighting late stage cancer, and having a tough time. I sincerely appreciate what he is saying about life, suffering, and the human condition. What a thoughtful and compassionate man of principle ❤️
Blessings to you are all around you🙌🕊
Sending you much love and healing on this journey.
may all beings be well...
may all beings find inner peace...
may all beings be loved
Yes, I agree on your insight regarding Charles E.
Wrapping you in love 💗
I heard someone say once that, “Spirit can only look up” and if we find ourselves looking down on others that we will be transmuted below the level of those we find to be inferior.
This simple message has kinda transformed me. Like you mentioned, if we think we are better than the Netanyahu’s, Trump’s, Biden’s, etc. we have, ourselves become part of the problem as well. Spirit can only look UP. Up is where we will find our higher calling.
We walk among spiritually dead, and morally blind souls. Keep looking up so as not to lose your bearings in these critical times. Spread your light everywhere you go. ❤
You touch my heart and inspire me to be a kinder person. Just today i understood that there are great invisible powers of goodness that are suporting this planet and humanity from nuclear disaster and here you are saying the same thing ❤ Take good care of yourself and thank you for being a courageous example for peace 🙏🙏🙏
LOVE will replace the darkness
thank you so much. much needed message
Hopefully we can have a bigger conversation about why people are dropping dead and getting fast-moving cancers the last few years. Too many angry people unable to consider the obvious.

I was wondering if I imagined that There is Hope. After listening to you today I am calm and strong….again. Thank you Charles.
WE R 1. There is hope, the seeds of Gods plan were planted in 1844.
'Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a heavenly civilisation' [Bahai writings]
Whenever you communicate I always have the same thought and that is how beautiful the world is with you in it. Thank you.
Thank you, Thank you so much for the reminder of just how very important it truly is that we continue to let our little lights within shine-shine-shine just as BRIGHT As Possible. TY!!!
yes, every deed matters
Charles, I just wanted to say that your words work as a signpost and an anchor for me. When I start to get lost in the madness that is the current state of our world, your timely messages bring me back to my center and in touch with what’s truly important. Thank you, friend! 🙏
You have left me with a holy sense of security.
loving kindness to all beings
I second that comment.
'Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a heavenly civilisation' [Bahai writings]
I am sensing that you are in pain and my heart goes out to you. Your story reminds me of an experience I had last summer going into my first sweat lodge. The heat was intense with thick smoke and I felt I could not breathe. The leader of the group called out to pray harder. As I turned my attention to that all discomfort fell away. I was amazed in hind sight and I felt like I could face anything after that. My confidence and faith came from a very deep place and changed my life forever. Sharing this because the hardest of times can often contain great gifts of strength & faith. Thank you for your stories. They go deep into the heart and soul. Bright Blessings.
Much gratitude 🙏 for sharing this with us!
I needed this reminder today!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you, Charles, for keeping faith, and passing it on.
To visit despair and then come back to reality. So valuable!
I love you Charles. Love to all. ❤️
Thank you. It can be exhausting emotionally and physically to be always the "resilient one" leading and carrying the light. I accept the mantle of Guardian of Light--not reluctantly but with determination. We must make it through this time maintaining our humanity--somehow and some way.
Yes

Charles, you are a wise man and I am grateful for your generous and loving guidance in my life. Thank you.
It's not visible to all because we have disguised it under the veil of normality - exactly what I've been feeling but unable to express in words.
The ways our so called "civilised" society has really been working behind the scenes needs to be seen to wake us up to what we have accepted unquestioningly as authority over each of us - an authority increasingly acting out of greed and the desire for power over. Similar to narcissistic relationships - it is unsustainable once we understand we have allowed our innate authority to be overridden by conditioning by external authorities. Awareness allows for different choices and being exposed to these terrible exposures of wrongdoing is part of the process of letting out the festering infection from a collective wound. We have to see what has been hidden and it is ugly.
Whilst those choices to act in integrity with our heart also include acting with kindness, I think its important to remember that kindness and love also requires boundaries and naming the gaslighting - ie this is unacceptable behaviour and I am calling you on that. It's part of stepping into Love - to say falsifying speeding tickets by the Police is unacceptable -. It;s our version of trying to stop the killing in Gaza. ... stop the day to day injustices where you find yourself. ... in doing that we are co creating the reality we want of inclusion, safety and thriving for all. The interbeing that you have spoken about before.
Your writing about the war in Gaza and the willingness to kill 274 civilians to save the lives of 4 people, again shows up our unwillingness to consider all life equally precious. It shows up the depth of our division from each other as mothers, fathers, sons and daughters... we all share that commonality but we all also carry our own ancestral baggage which makes us different. Peace keeping doesn't mean a lack of conflict - or differences, it means an ability to communicate those and to listen without resorting to violence, emotional or physical. It requires boundaries and critical thinking.....human skills that have often not been exercised for fear of being ostracised or punished. So it is then an active choice of courage to choose the Truth of you, the humanity of you that may be different from another, but still to put it forward in trust of the importance of your unique contribution.
Brilliantly put. Thank you. We absolutely have to name it and create the boundaries and specifically, on a day to day level. Your reference to speeding tickets as an example of the day to day is particularly powerful as an example of what we individuals are being 'coerced' into accepting as normal. Much like the air conditioning thing,
I would add, that the anger and frustration arising within oneself, either about one's own trauma, or the trauma of the collective, can also (and often is) be turned on the self and this is of course, deeply destructive and will create a depression in a person which can lead to a worsening of the situation as well. The pain has to land somewhere. To be seen and recognised.
I am sad to say I cannot sit and watch lengthy talks. I will however, read anything you write. Too many hesitations. Pauses, etc. I like to know what you think but just cant do the video thing
@@charliebuchanan5996 when you talk about "deeply destructive and will create a depression in a person" do you know how I/we can move out of that? Being too sensitive and empathic, it's a gift and a curse but do you know of a way to land the pain somewhere else to ease the self destruction? Or is this just a part of life for some of us (I'm ok if it is, I'm just wondering what you know/think/feel)?
I am not sure whether you are writing this to me or to Charles but if you are writing to me - I write under View from the Moon on Substack. If I think about Charles I think the pauses indicate an authenticity and a connection with his inner wisdom - I imagine he's checking out with himself the next thing that's arising in him. It's a more spontaneous and therefore more authentic and imperfect medium than writing which can and is curated and sometimes manipulated. I think as a leader in these times he is modelling a realness that we haven't been exposed to readily - mostly leaders are kind of cue card speakers which I find a bit one dimensional and doesn't really give you the sense of their authentic character. In my own case that realness and imperfectness of the pauses gave the people I worked with the opportunity to decide whether they could trust me to help. But yes I get that it can be irritating for some people.
Thank you Charles ❤
This was a beautiful and powerful message, we all need to be reminded of ❤
Thank you Charles Eisenstein for speaking up so openly. You expressed beautifully our real power.
Thank you for your truth. It touches me deeply. The choice for me is love
Thank you Charles for your kindness and open heart. Your message has comforted my heart.
I literally had just turned by thermostat down to 65 a few minutes prior because it was so damn humid… so proof of the very support and synchronicities he talks about here. This point about how our simple acts of will to turn the other cheek in the various modes he mentions being part of weaving New Earth is so timely.
Just got off the phone with a dear friend undergoing cancer treatment. Radiation five days a week for seven weeks and then pharmaceuticals for two years. Suffering comes to us all and most of us are not prepared.
There are good healthy alternatives, Many people have healed themselves..Fasting and parasite cleansing is very effective to start with.
Definitely stay out of the medical system. Look into German new medicine and the body's intelligence in healing. Resolve conflicts ❤❤ healing thoughts to all
lemon water...only consume alkalizers, no acidifiers.
cancer cannot live in an alkaline, oxygen-rich environment.
I am so sorry for your friend who did not need to do this. Just another Big Pharma, medical scam. Cancer does not need chemo, etc. Again, I do not wish to offend, and feel for you
I hope your dear friend copes well and is supported. My mother currently going through same. Its unhelpful when people talk of alternative options when they are not the ones dealing with it. My mother is embracing both.
Deep, heartfelt, grounded, sincere truth. Thanks so much. Practice our inner connection
Thank you thank you thank you beautiful Charles xxxx
Thank you for your very powerful sharing 🙏🏼❤ 🙏🏼. We are more powerful than we know or than we realize, internally on a soul level and externally. Our biggest powers are in our Light and in our Internal Realities. Our greatest strength lies inside of us in the unseen realms. Thank you.
Thank you so much Charles. You are the only person I have ever come across to say such important affirmations. I've been following you for almost a decade now after I heard your book (The Ascent of Humanity) being read on a college radio station in the city I used to live in, on my way to work @5:30am. I listened to the whole thing and i'm still listening, and Trying.
Just what I needed to hear this morning. ❤thank you so much Charles. I also appreciate all the comments. Reassuring to know I'm not alone. Others think the way I do but boy do I need to be reminded.
you are not alone, know that, for sure
Yes, I think we all need reminding. Overlearning.
Thank you for making this available more broadly here so that I, too, could hear this, Charles.
Thank you Charles, for articulating something I have been processing on a deep level and also going through for the past 14 months. I have never experienced the level of loss I have gone through in all my life than I have during this time. I have met despair in a way I have never done before and also I am able to recognise something so much bigger is at play and that the love in me continues to show up for another day. Thank you for continuing to show up with love for another day.
❤❤❤
Brava. Just beautiful and so lucidly shared.
That was so beautiful and inspiring, Charles, as always! Thank you so much 💜
Thank you Charles, a torn achilles i sustained last Sept meant i almost had to close down my gardening business and prevented me from engaging in my hobby birdwatching, really lifechanging but literally wjayever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I think down the line i'll see it as a gift and a blessing
Just lost two good friends this week. That makes 6 since December. About half of them were probably jabbed.
Unfortunately I can see the same things around me.

I have been so moved by everything you speak of Charles...you are a constant source of encouragement and inspiration. I hope what are expressing, with such a depth of heart and clarity, reaches a very very wide audience. I love to hear in this video, that you are inviting us into moments of serenity, amongst all the turmoil and chaos.
Thank-you Charles, for reminding me of what needed to be re-remembered. I needed to hear your words today. I'll return to them, so that I don't forget.
Just a big Thank You from my heart to you, Charles, and all the wonderful souls who spread their truth and uplifting words here. I just needed this clear talk to know, to remember that what I am doing matters and that I am doing it for the greater good than just for myself. Sometimes this tension to be in the old with one leg and in the new with the other for years now, feels so hard. I feel many of us had this tension for decades now. However hard it gets now again🙃we can make it happen. We see the new into life and we always did. ..and we can help each other and much more people as before to have hope along the way now. Thank you Charles🙏😇you are this unstoppable light we can learn from to be the same, and learn that even honest louder speaking can be light for others🐬🥁together is key☀️☀️☀️
It's heartbreaking 💔 to watch global governments harm people the way they did and continue to do. Meanwhile, we are all gaslight about what's happening. That makes it even more heartbreaking. My heart goes out to all the parents who trusted, and now their beautiful children are gone. That's the worst.
With all due respect to the people suffering from the wars being waged by the oligarchy, they seem to be a distraction from the horrors inflicted on the population via the past few years. This is just my opinion.

Many things to reflect on, and many things to practice. Decoupling from control matrices and sitting with chaos does build resilience.
Greetings from France! Have you ever thought of the times when you 'fall down', if understanding it as an occasion to positively advance, then you are 'FALLING UP' as Richard Rohr neetly puts it! As I navigate daily life I try and RESPOND rather than REACT at each point of choice, hoping for a right-wise outcome. It's all in the practise from our open hearts! Thanks Charles, keep goin' ;)
Thnak you Charles. I hope you can read this, but if you do not have time to read all your comments, I know that taking the time to share this will also be good. Growing up I didn't feel like I had heart-aligned guidance from the adults that surrounded me. Maybe that was so because I was destined to seek guidance elsewhere. And now I have found so many mentors on the internet, on books... Thankyou for being one fo them. The idea you present, about making the loving choice, even if we think it doesn't matter (it matter, because of the morphic field), has made me chose the loving choice when it was difficult to do so. I has a cinflict with my family, and the easiest thing was to chose the mean words, the diconnection, but because I had heard you before, I chose peace, forgivness and connection. It gives me hope. Sometimes my heart hurts too much at the state of the world. But you have tought me how to also feel hope. I hug your heart. You have a friend in Mexico.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Thanks again Charles
Thank you Charles, so appreciate you. Love from Cape Town ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Charles for sharing your wisdom so authentically!
Thank you, Charles, for this good story, which is also a strong prayer. May it be so.
I guess we better begin to exercise our heat tolerance. All us white folks are going to have to migrate and leave the old world behind. we just aren’t suited for a more beautiful world 😅 .😢 i’m not callous. I’m just trying to keep my humor . In spite of my flippancy it is deadly serious but we will all get through eventually.
Don’t you despair Charles , you have awaken many more than you will ever know. The more beautiful world is already in the making , we just have to stop hoarding all this crap we’ve been hanging onto..
Thank you
Suffering is an expectation not met. Resiliency is what our ancestors taught us when they had to survive. Turn off the phone and learn how to love/live. A clear head is your best friend.
Sending you a hug Charles. Thank heavens for you.
Thank you for you wisdom...despite...or rather because of your current personal difficulties and for trusting us with your suffering. A beautiful example...and as such...maybe yr most powerful teaching to date. 🙏🏽
Thank you so much Charles! I bow to your clarity, to that gift you have to get the bigger picture and at the same time look sooo close as if with a magnifying glass.
Just wanna add - or better:emphasise - that to choose peace, generosity, even patience, of course love, does sometimes mean a „ no“ or even a shouting or a rigorous action.
Beautiful words as always Charles ! Thankyou SO much for your wisdom and balance. It goes right to my heart.
Your a very beautiful and thoughtful man. I hope your keeping rfk on the right path and all is well with you all ❤
Gracias por tu corazon tan grande
Very well expressed 🙏🏻
Thank you Charles. 🙏🏻
Thank you Charles.
Helpful.
🙏
It is the same here, hard times in many different ways, and the same is happening in my small circle. Thank you for this reminder, that what happens in the macrocosm (politics etc) is no different from what happens in the microcosm (my own daily choices).
Thank you so much for this share Charles! We hope to meet you someday! If you are ever in Vancouver please reach out- we would love to host an event with you and help to amplify your message and heart. Deep gratitude brother.
Somehow this is just what I needed to hear tonight. I especially appreciated the part about the dice-rolling. And each choice mattering, especially in times of extremity. It’s too easy to despair, especially as our leaders seem to be sleepwalking us into what could easily become a nuclear war. May the guardians keep protecting our world, which surely would have been incinerated many times over by now if it were left to people like Biden, Trump, or Hillary.
I feel this was meant to find me, as I have been wondering if all the things going on around me are to guide us towards the new world.
I've had my marriage fall apart n the growth I've experienced as a result. I've just lost my dad n cousin to cancer. N have a close friend who's going through a massive challenge with cancer.
I only told mum the other day that the universe is trying to guide us towards peace and unconditional love. N that all our wants n needs in terms of materialistic things is so insignificant.
What a painful but yet beautiful post. Thank you for sharing unknown friend.

Big Blessings to You.
Thank you, Charles. This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. The loneliness can easily overwhelm me.
Raise awareness about fundamental emotional and physical needs so people understand that practically everyone will become a benefit to society if all their needs are met since conception, and absolutely everyone will become a burden or a danger to everyone else if at any time their needs aren't met
Yes, a series of gauntlets over here and I’m seeing it with many friends/clients. But it is bringing us closer to ourselves, to God/Nature and one another..
I, out of nowhere have activated my melanoma. I cannot fly, or even go into airport terminals w/o getting a total relapse. I cannot go to doctors , or dentist because of there need to x-rays that activate my cancers. Since the roll out of 5g, I struggle w/ that. I feel like a bubble 71 year old woman. I was given 6 months to live 11 years ago and have been treating my own health. I do not trust doctors or dentist because they make me more ill.I do not take prescription drugs and rarely Ibuprofen. Is there any hope to dialing back this toxic system we are constantly exposed to. I do not usr cell phones but the microwave energy is everywhere. I worry more for the children and elders. We are guinea pigs to there reality.. I am hoping when Mr. Kennedy is at the white house can make some headway in making the United States a healthier place to live.
have you tried to alkalize your body? (drink lemon water, plant-based diet)
Otto Warburg won a Nobel Prize for proving that cancer cannot live in an alkaline, oxygen-rich environment.
we're taught to eat acidifiers w/our "food pyramid"...not many alkalizers.
Like you I'm 71 (albeit male). I have never felt better mentally and physically. Like you also, I don't trust doctors. So I never go to them, even for diagnoses. All I do is try to eat well, breathe fresh air, and walk each day. So far so good.
I wish you well.
I have seen alternatives like intravenous Vit C plus some other supps. Cured within weeks. Keep searching. It is a metabolic syndrome as I understand it. My best for you
YES It all matters. Thank you so much Charles, you have such a beautiful way of hitting the proverbial nail on the head with such beautiful words . If you have not already, please please do connect with your local Bahai community [there will be one]
'Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a heavenly civilisation' [Bahai writings] . It is time to stand bravely with the truth. I know you can feel it in the frequency, vibration , energy.
Beautiful, inspirational words, dear Charles. Bless you
Thank you. This message resonated so deeply. A timely reminder to be kind, thoughtful, and follow my / our inner truth. Thank you.
Yes. Thank you Charles! I've been following your work for a few years now, and I truly appreciate your presence in the world. This speaks to me. In my awareness, I reason that our greatest minds can't agree or explain gravity nor can they rule out the possibility of a creator, a god, or God. I'm a believer in God, a follower of the teachings of Christ. I find great personal solace in believing in God, The Creator of the universe, and in maintaining a relationship with God, through prayer, petitioning and striving to maintain awareness of his hand in things, of those little inexplicable things that happen to all of us if we are having some awareness of the nuances. Much love to you and yours
Yea part of the new story is our individual and collective ability to transform suffering by getting beyond the dualistic push and pull expectations and choices. Old ways of addiction and habits just do not work any more- they never did work yet now we are collectively realizing it on some deeper levels.
Leaving the victimhood mentality behind helps us evolve collectively. The mind that created the problems cannot solve the problem.
Thank you so much Charles 💚
"The establishing of a morphic field" 25:18
The mindful dimension of "a sublime madness in the soul" (Reinhold Niebuhr).
Thie following relates to the power of individual acts of transcendence on the Whole: "These archetypal beings - to the extent that I was able to experience them clearly at all - were vast living structures on a completely different order of causality, in a different order of time. I could not wrap my mind around them, I could not see them cognitively coherently. I experienced these enormous living intelligences, and the best my mind could do to give them some type of representation was to see them as galaxies.
So we've all looked at the Hubble telescopes, we've all looked at these galaxies, we've seen the pictures. If we really sit with them and meditate them, we understand more deeply what we're looking at, and these things are billions of light years across containing billions and billions of stars and so on so forth. That's what my mind did just to frame this experience in some way but I could not penetrate beyond that they were just too big and too foreign to me to give them form.
At a lower level of archetypal reality I entered what I would call sort of a Jungian level of archetype reality, where I experienced repeatedly the human psyche and the human species as a single organism, a single integrated organism. And I experienced networks, physical and mental networks connecting this organism, kind of like the neurology of this organism, and I was shown repeatedly how the individual is hardwired and softwired into this matrix of consciousness of the species mind. And the species mind how it informs our individual Consciousness and how our individual consciousness reaches out and informs and structures future species Consciousness. So I I saw things like each one of us carry a holographic fractal piece of the diseases of our time, of the mental diseases, of the physical diseases. And as we heal ourselves with these mental and physical diseases we actually contribute to the healing of the collective psyche.
So, the collective psyche, in a sense, you would say it's more real than the individual psyche, but I would give it maybe a little different vocabulary: The individual is real, the collective is real, they have different kind of scales of their reality and they are mutually implicated in each other and both of these are transcended by the platonic archetypal levels of reality which are radically beyond our human collective psyche.
From that point on, from archetypal reality and beyond, everything was about going into deeper and deeper levels of what is real. In the world we're not used to thinking of physical reality being on surface-real, and that there are structures that are more deeply real, but I think that quantum theory is comfortable with that, string theorists are comfortable with that, we should be able to be comfortable with that in psychology..."
Christopher Bache (in conversation with Luc Briede-Cooper)
12:57 definitely think it's both ETs as well as the moves of good men combined
Go down to the water and take a respite.
From ZEN, "the path of experience is unsurpassed" resonates finely with the Charles's notion that "Success in Moral Choices is a Consequence of Practice" Indeed was this not the founding root of every form of religion? Can it be that prayer evolved from meditation? Whenever I meet a frustrating experience, whenever I feel confounded by the attitudes of my neighbor, whenever I feel insignificant in the face of adversity, I repeat silently to myself, "the path of experience is unsurpassed". This alone is an extremely healing attitude. It is my practice in Moral Choice. Charles would you agree?

If I can suggest something, it's to see a video on NDEs, like Jill Bolte Taylor's "Stroke of Insight" (Ted).
I love having you in the world, Chuck Es-in-Love
It seems the intersection of the patriarchy and capitalism isn’t working ?
In principle everything is right what you‘re saying. Except for you are implying that the Gaza war is about revenge. It isn‘t. Maybe there are a few operations and directives that have some grains of revenge in it, but overall it is about protecting their own citizens against future terrorist attacks, which is legit. So in this aspect of your speech it is highly manipulative and biased. Which is sad. We can discuss how this entire war and strategy will achieve the goal stated above and how the people in charge on every level can influence the longterm outcome. But is not them who started this war and a majority of them isn't aiming for pity revenge.
Somehow in my opinion,what Israel is doing,will not make it any more secure
Thank you Charles for your caring thoughts in words, which have been important and helpful to me for many years when existential distress becomes strongly felt and how it can be transformed from spiritual strength 🪷🙏
Lovely post.
