It seems like a good idea to begin this conversation by asking, did human beings ever have inner peace?

Every spiritual tradition and culture that I've ever had a chance to encounter deeply, all have an origin story. If it’s the garden of Eden - or at the beach near the ocean during the last ice age, or coming from some primordial world beneath this world.

What is it that is lost with this descriptive imagination of our loss of innocence?

A recurring context in many ancient and mostly indigenous traditions, is a distinction between cultivating resources or power or medicine for your people, including yourself, your family, your extended family, and those who are in need,

And/or cultivating resources power or medicine in a way that is over or against others.

Imagine a life of collaboration, reciprocity, service, belonging, recognition, respect and opportunities to both learn and eventually lead.

There is an innocence there because all that is asked is to show up, be present. Be generous, be generative. Be relational.

Or, to simply commit your existence, and everything you are for your people.

Accepting others in every way you would wish to be accepted as yourself.
