Full Episode
We have failed to appreciate the miracle of life and for that we have so desecrated that life. We try to fix our kids and their problems. We try to fix our house. We try to fix our companies. We try to fix our products. That mentality is getting away from the fact that there is an emergent beauty and there is an emergent creation force coming through humanity that is inevitable.
When you get 10 birds in a flock, they line up in a V. But you put 10,000 birds together, you start to express sacred geometries at the scales of a kilometer. This phenomenon of becoming creator is already inherent in your biology. Everything's temporary. There is no such thing as death. There's only rebirth. There's not a such thing as an endpoint to nature. There's only the recreation.
As we go into seasonality and as we start to embrace the friction, we're going to grow quickly. We need to stop trying to escape to the sacredness, and we need to start to realize that every place is sacred, and we need to start to manifest that sacredness within every part of our bodies.
And if we do, the frictions that are currently killing us or creating so much pain will diminish to just the change of direction.
My friend, Zach Bush, welcome back to the show.
I'm so thrilled to be here. Thank you, Andre, for having me.
I thought as it's very in alignment with your work and also my area of passion as a framework for this conversation to pull from some core themes of nature's wisdom and how there are so many parallels to unlocking our inner nature, discovering that, embodying in it, embracing it, living in it, and how that can contribute to us living in harmony.
And so the first one that would be thrilled to get your kind of framework and understanding around is We live in perhaps the most individualistic culture to have ever existed. And we look throughout all nature as it's a complex ecosystem where interdependence is the natural state of being in existence from all life.
Yet the human mind is the one thing that loves to believe it's a separate individual and has the capacity to do so.
