28: Awakening from Our Illusion of Separateness: The Gift of the Current Crisis
Guest: Patricia Pearce, Spiritual Teacher & Author, Beyond Jesus
Patricia Pearce writes, “Jesus has become an obstacle to our spiritual evolution — not because of who he was but because of who we have made him out to be.” In this episode, Patricia shares her spiritual odyssey from becoming a Presbyterian pastor, to experiencing a spiritual awakening, to leaving the church to pursue her own path as a spiritual teacher, energy worker, and author.
Patricia believes that we are all here on this planet for a reason at a very auspicious moment in Earth’s evolution. Humanity is going through a great awakening — moving out of our long sojourn in the illusion of separateness and awakening to the truth of our interconnectedness and interdependence.
In this episode, Patricia shares with us:
How the story of separateness became woven into the teachings of the Christian church and why it is counter to what Jesus knew to be true
How our lives are our teacher – the perfect curriculum
How our own personal transformation & letting go of our separateness contributes to planetary transformation – the only possible future if we want to continue as a species
How dreamwork can be used to gain powerful insights
The gift of insight and awareness that our current crisis – political & pandemic – offers
What our children can teach us about connecting to oneness
