James Twyman: How to Find Peace in Divisiveness – Part 2


Listen Later

Do you think we are more divided now than ever? Are you tired of conflicts? Do you want to try to get along with others better? Lisa continues the conversation today with our guest James Twyman. James is known as a "Peace Troubadour" as he has united millions of people around the world with his music and messages of peace. He knows that there IS a way to get along. If we can give up the need to be right, we can listen and learn from one another. James is attempting to start a movement to further the idea of communication and peace. He talks about taking a very short survey on www.de-polarize.com. Can we be humorous with one another? Laughter also heals and brings people together. The biggest issue is that we don't listen to one another. Love can bring us together, and that's not about being "right." James and Lisa also talk about safety in a conversation and how to navigate, knowing you may get verbally attacked. When we don't honor one another's opinions, and get into arguments, it may not feel safe. Yet, we are on the precipice of a wonderful opportunity. We can all become de-polarizing agents by finding ways to creatively communicate. James offers tools and will be teaching classes about peaceful ways to communicate and listen to one another. It's part of his movement toward peace. It starts with being open and mindful. If we create an open space for dialogue, and listen with love and compassion, others will as well. James also shares his experiences in Iraq and with Saddam Hussein. He held a peace concert and found people coming together in music. He discovered that they had much more in common and could heal their differences. People around the world were also meditating for peace and miracles occurred. If this can happen in war-torn circumstances, we can learn how to be peaceful toward people with differing beliefs. James is an Episcopal Franciscan and Anglican priest. His latest book is "I Don't Know, Maybe, I Love You: How to De-Polarize Your Family, Business, Country and the World." This is Part 2 of the interview.
