How much do your feelings, thoughts, wants, and needs depend on the feelings, thoughts, wants, and needs of others?

Did you ever consider that any change in a feeling, thought and desire of yours is dependent on, and influential upon, the feelings, thoughts, and desires of every single other person in the world?

Also, are you aware of how far-reaching are the implications of such interdependence?

We grow up in a world that instills us with competitive, individualistic values. Our educational systems and our culture teach us how to develop as independent individuals, where the more you can be “stronger, richer and faster” than others, the more you will succeed. Such an approach was arguably suitable for a certain period in history, but as we develop into a new era marked by tightening global interdependence—from the immense exponential human population growth to the worldwide interconnection of our economies, technologies, and cultures—the more we see that a competitive, individualistic approach in an interdependent reality leads to crises on all scales: personal, social, global and ecological.

In this Kabbalah Explained Simply with Markos, we will look into how to master living in the modern world: to realize the error of continuing along the same competitive, individualistic lines we’ve taken till today, and to awaken a globally considerate, cooperative, collaborative and connected path heading into the future.

This paradigm shift is incumbent on us as humans today not just for our happiness and well-being, but also for our very survival.
