Building the World We Want with Beth Green

Relationships come in all kinds of styles and flavors. You can be comfortable companions, roommates, intimates, partners, enemies under one roof, married for convenience or something else.

We want to keep informed about the really important things that are going on in our nation but if you're anything like me, you also can’t stand social media and the news. The constant anger, exaggerations, opinions and downright silliness make me incredibly angry as I feel like my inner space is being dominated by noise, lies, vitriol and wishful thinking. I can no longer listen to most influencers and news people, even if I agree with them. How are you reacting? What are you most angry about? How do you think this is impacting our world? Why is it happening and what can we do about it?We are The Stream, a non-profit organization and online community dedicated to building the world we want through cultivating courage, awareness and creativity.

Let’s consider the US: When we look at some of the results of the primaries, it's hard to deny that there have been some shifts in the thinking of American voters, but does that signal a shift into caring more for one another, instead of just caring for ourselves, or is it all still motivated primarily by self-interest? The anti-establishment anger could be useful to galvanize people for change, but does it signal evolution in our consciousness? Freaking out about climate change when your house is on fire might lead to different voting behaviors, but does it show a change in our attitude towards the earth and ourselves? Do you think we are seeing some real shifts into oneness consciousness, or are we just seeing pendulum swings but no real change in us? Let's talk about it.

Much of our pain is caused by the contrast between who we are and who we think we should be. In my work as an intuitively guided counselor, I have started working with the simple tool that we can all use to liberate ourselves from the tyranny of our own demands. Let's talk about it.

Most of us have nagging problems that can run the gamut from annoying to devastating. Many of us have found no relief for these challenges. We try everything and nothing works. Sometimes we are blocking ourselves from freeing ourselves, but sometimes the social conditions or technology don't yet exist to help us improve or even transform society. Whether the challenge is health-related, financial, political, or emotional, even though many of us have gone for years or decades finding no relief or answers, let's not give up. You never know when you're going to find the magic for you and maybe all of us. Let's talk about that.

I have been powerfully impacted by global warming and everyone else has been too. For some of us it's just the loss of the natural beauty of forests that are plagued by drought. For some it's wildfires, flooding, increased insurance rates or endangered crops. For many of us it's a health issue. And yet climate change seems to be a very small part of the national conversation as we talk about our biggest challenges. Many people pretend that global warming is not a kitchen table issue or treat it like an elitist conversation. We disagree. Let's talk about it.

Much of the pain we experience in life comes from feelings of failure. How do you honestly reframe your experiences and goals in order to overcome that negative self-talk? We're not talking about fooling or deluding ourselves. We're talking about real transformation. Failing is a state of mind. Join us to learn more about how to change that now.

Who is “normal” anyway? This one is alcoholic, that one is neurodivergent, the other one is gay, another is depressed, one is a hoarder, yet another is physically disabled. Who is normal? Yet we act like there are a few people who just don't fit in with us normal people and we have the right to discriminate against them. In fact, some people are subjected to hatred or scorn. The truth is that people don't fit in boxes and we need to meet the challenge with creativity and curiosity. How are you outside the box? What do we all need? Join us.

What is your life worth to you? Doesn't that seem like a strange question? Isn't our life worth everything to us but the question is, how much is it worth to other people? No the question is how much our lives are worth to us, what we are willing to do, to fight for, to give up and to confront in order to live the life we can? This and more on tonight's show. If you write in your questions and comments when we are live, we will be able to respond right on the air.

Many of us feel guilty when we see others in pain while going after our own happiness. Actually, being happy can be a powerful force against the ego and the dark side if we approach it with consciousness.
