“The Foundational Questions of our Time”

Discussions with Riane Eisler

“The Foundational Questions of our Time” is a video series from the Synergy Circles of The Evolutionary Leaders (https://www.evolutionaryleaders.net/synergycircles)– specifically the “Integral and Wholistic Cosmologies” and “Cornerstone’s” Synergy Circles.

It features discussions among major thought leaders and activists with, and moderated by, renowned author Riane Eisler.

Dr. Eisler pioneers– through her multidisciplinary “Four Cornerstones” approach– our urgently needed global transition from domination– to partnership– models and consciousness (https://centerforpartnership.org/).

Her iconic books include The Chalice and the Blade, now in 57 U.S. printings and 30 foreign editions, The Real Wealth of Nations and, most recently Nurturing Our Humanity: How Domination and Partnership Shape Our Brains, Lives, and Future (co-authored with neuroscientist Dr. Douglas P. Fry, Oxford University Press, 2019).

The series’ video discussions point toward an important new book– a March 2023 release from Light on Light Press– The Holomovement: Embracing Our Collective Purpose to Unite Humanity. Participants in the series are contributors to the book and also synergizers of the emerging global “Holomovement” (Home | The Holomovement) joining thought leaders and activists from all around the world.

Sages have no mind of their own
their mind is the mind of the people
to the good they are good
to the bad they are good
until they become good
to the true they are true
to the false they are true
until they become true . . .

--Lao-tzu

"It's madness
to hate all roses
because you got scratched
with one thorn,

to give up all dreams
because one of them
didn't come true,

to give up all attempts
because one of them failed.

It's folly to condemn
all your friends
because one has betrayed you,

to no longer believe in love
just because someone
was unfaithful
or didn't love you back,

to throw away
all your chances to be happy
because something went wrong.

There will always
be another opportunity,
another friend,
another love,
a new strength.

For every end,
there is always
a new beginning.

And now here is my secret,
a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart
that one can see rightly;
what is essential,
is invisible to the eye."

🌹 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The Little Prince, 1943
