About this listen

 In this episode, we explore the pressing issues of the social authenticity crisis affecting many societies globally, which is being driven among other reasons by AI-generated content, political polarization, and eroded trust in institutions. We discuss how this crisis impacts our daily lives, the difficulty in distinguishing genuine information, and the role of misinformation in deepening divides. We also explore the implications of polarization on mental health, relationships, and social well-being. As always, we guide listeners through intentions and prayers aimed at fostering dialogue, understanding, and a movement towards a beloved community that embraces difference. Intentions and prayers start at 17 minutes 10 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we consider the critical crisis of authenticity affecting many polarised societies, and in the face of increasingly unreliable and deliberately fake information sources that many of us are exposed to, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that there will be widespread awareness of the value of working toward a beloved community that celebrates and embraces, rather than polarizes and demonises, differences of views and ways of being. Please join us in holding this.
