Separation, or rather the illusion of separation is at the root of most everything that ails us on a personal as well as collective level.
How can we achieve a sense of Oneness again and operate from a high state of mind?
According to today’s guest Jon Gordon, the voice of separation inside us that talks negatively is much more than just the inner critic.
The battle inside ourselves and whether we listen to that negative voice, or take back our agency and talk constructively to ourselves is directly linked to the oldest battle of all, dark versus light. The turn of this episode's conversation took both Jon and me by surprise. We were both fully prepared to talk about topics such as excellence in leadership and personal growth, for which he is considered an international expert. Instead we went with the flow and took a deep dive on faith, healing the soul and guidance on how to live a complete and fulfilled life from a high state of mind.
