Episode 402 - The Storm of Uncertainty and Your Authentic Self

Living Myth

This episode begins with the idea of the Cone of Uncertainty as the front part of a hurricane or tropical storm that can veer to the right or left and change directions frequently. Michael Meade uses the Cone of Uncertainty as a metaphor for the political storms and radical uncertainties that characterize the current campaign season in the U.S. “No political forecaster could have predicted the storm of inauthenticity that overshadows so many issues and increasingly divides people into fearfully opposed sides. At this point in the amplified uncertainty of the modern world, some major candidates are boldly creating and spreading outright lies, as if their plan is to use an overwhelming storm of misinformation and easily proven untruths to simply overwhelm people and undermine any source of truth or shared sense of common humanity.”

When the world becomes flooded with anxiety and uncertainty a greater psychological understanding is needed and that can come through an awakening of the authentic self that makes each person unique and unrepeatable and valuable in the struggle for healing and renewal. When we unfold the story wound within our souls and untie the knots within our hearts, we instinctively add presence to the world and contribute to the spirit of life in ways that are authentic and meaningful. As we transform ourselves from within, even if it only consists of small steps or little ways, we also help in some way to transform the world.
