In the midst of the collective intensity of humanity on the planet at this time, it’s natural for us to feel the tension between our survival instincts and spiritual aspirations. It may seem challenging to reconcile these two aspects, especially when we experience the raw emotions and confounding behaviors that can arise from our primal impulses.
Our innate instincts, rooted in survival and connection, can sometimes manifest in distorted ways that cause personal suffering and societal polarization - even for those genuinely committed to spiritual growth. As a result, many of us experience a split within ourselves, leading to the belief that our biological drives must be repressed, controlled, or denied.
How do we navigate this tension while honoring our heartfelt desire to be a catalyst for positive change in the world?
