E131 - Rainn Wilson: Comedy, God & Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution

Yeah, the forces that you're referring to and you mentioned before is, again, another idea I stole from some Baha'i. I borrowed from some Baha'i ways of thinking. But I just love the way this phrase sums up so much of what's happening in our contemporary life.

Both of these things are happening at the same time. Our political system is disintegrating. It's becoming more and more disunified and corrupt as it goes along. And at the same time, more and more people are searching, are questing, are looking for connection, are coming together more and more.

social injustices that were just a given a few decades ago are now questioned, you know, at the grassroots. And this is another thing that's hard for young people dealing with a mental health crisis to see. They only see the disintegration and they're not looking towards the integration.

Like, oh, the world is a mess and it's all fucked up and it's all falling apart. Right? Yes. The world is also beautiful. People are coming together. There are amazing things happening. There's incredible organizations and movements and communities that are being built at the same time. So, how do we hold in our awareness both of these things happening at the same time?

This is a... It's very much in the Hindu tradition. I wish I was more well-versed, but I'm thinking about, like, Maya in a world of illusion. I'm thinking about, like, gods of chaos and gods of peace. And, you know, all of these forces kind of swirling at the same time. And... Our job is to align ourselves with the forces of integration. So where do you find that?

You can find it in a group of people that are addressing injustices and imbalances in your neighborhood or community and are actually doing something about it. Align yourself, hang your hat on the forces of integration. Disintegration is going to take care of itself. You know, the doom scrolling, the headlines, the outrage headlines and outrage clicks, that's all happening. We get to let that go.
