Dear friends of Eckhart Tolle, Have you noticed lately how casual interactions you have with family members or friends (or even strangers!) can quickly erupt into full-blown partisan warfare? Or how tempting it’s become to block or cut ties with someone whose egregious social media posts offend you to your very core? Or perhaps you’re experiencing an impulse to shy away from authentic connections, now preferring to avoid conversations that you once enjoyed. And as a result, you’re feeling more separate and isolated than you’d like. If so, you’re not alone. Passionately opposing points of view on women’s rights, gay marriage, immigration, human rights, family values, foreign relations, politics, and religion (just to name a few) are driving wedges and creating conflicts between strangers, friends, and family members with surprising frequency. A recent study even revealed that this discord is negatively impacting our marriages and romantic relationships, with 29 percent of those surveyed saying “the current political environment” has had a negative impact on their relationship and almost a quarter (24 percent) saying the recent election has led to more disagreements and arguments with their partner about politics than ever before. Even those of us who are on the path to enlightenment are struggling. After all, it’s difficult to live from a sense of oneness and connection with everything and everyone in an “us or them” situation in which “they” violate our sense of what’s right, fair, and good. And it’s challenging to know how to stand up for what’s “right” or stand against what’s “wrong” without putting more opposition, negativity, fear, and separation into the world. If you’re struggling to navigate these trying times, join Eckhart and Deepak Chopra for spiritual solutions here. What world-renowned expert in mind-body health, Deepak Chopra, MD, says most of us are failing to realize is that when we identify with one side or another, it’s merely a construct of our ego-minds. This puts us into aggravated states where we see each other as enemies, which only serves to create more separatism and suffering in our lives and in the world. So often, we think that if we’re divided, we have to opt for one of the polarities of our divided state—standing for right vs. wrong, love vs. hate, and concern vs. indifference. But what if there's another option? One that’s open to every one of us and that involves going deeper within ourselves, beyond the surface of dividedness to live out of a deeper unity of our human spirit. To help you see how you can use the discord in your life and in the world to cross the chasms between us and ultimately to discover a greater sense of peace, empowerment, and connection, join Eckhart and Deepak Chopra, MD, for an all-new, world-premiere online event: Awakening from the Illusion of Separateness: Spiritual Truths to Help Heal a Divided World.
