Although we're human animals, we've become increasingly disconnected from our natural environment and this disconnect makes us believe that we are, in fact, separate from the natural world and other species. This perception of separateness from everything fuels dualistic thinking and strengthens our egoic sense of self. In this episode, we'll explore how this disconnect has made its way into our spiritual practices and contemporary culture, and why it's important that we work to heal the perception of separation.
