Today we’re talking about the most fundamental of cosmic laws. One that governs everything from stars, to soil, to the thoughts in your mind.
A cosmic law that we humans have spent centuries pretending doesn’t exist.
A cosmic law that, when honoured and accepted, can strengthen our mental wellbeing as well as the wellbeing of our planet, our communities, our democracies and our relationships.
It's the cosmic law of...life and death.
Join me as we explore:
The fundamental natural cycle of rise and fall, expansion and contraction, growth and decay which applies to everything... including you
Why no system in nature grows forever (including civilisations) and why this is a crucial thing
The disconnect between the comforting story of infinite progress and the reality of collapse as a natural part of life
How this understanding transforms our relationship with anxiety, burnout, and overwhelm
Why recognising this cycle might just change your life
Mentioned in this episode:
Zucchini’s everywhere!
Lots of different words for “collapse”
