- One of the reasons the world is in the state that it is, is because everybody mortgages what is really pulling at their heart to do something abstract. For the thing that they think they have to do for the numbers to work out.

This reminds me of the quote by Pericles:
"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others"
Charles speaks from his heart more articulately than anyone else I know. Thank you Charles!
He’s just as lovely & real in person.

I'm so grateful to hear your voice Charles. I met you in the film - The Sixth Sun - I was moved by your words imbued with presence. I've since then listened to a few of your essays and video's and today introduced you to my Facebook Friends with this video. You reminded me of a moment in high school when I saw "The Miracle Worker" - and was introduced to Helen Keller. I kept this quote of hers beside my teaching desk for many years. “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.” This universal truth which you express so eloquently here - reminded me of the first time I experienced it through Helen Keller. In appreciation of what you gift us with and wishing you "All The Best" with your heart-centered life. Catherine
We never fully know what difference a single act of kindness might have produced and affected the entire planet.
I AM all too familiar w/those voices of parents, siblings, friends, etc. Defending the 'old story' and I sense that there are things in life that they'd rather be doing.
Beautiful. This validates so much of how I choose to live, and raise my kids, and how I choose my choices, period. 🙏🦋✨
When you become ready Charles you will have my support
The morphic resonance thoery approach is really lovely. I like the idea of a psychic field that surrounds the earth, something akin to the ionosphere, receives a ripple of energy from every act of kindness that adds to the likelihood of it happening again elsewhere
Mind blown!! A very moving video Charles and one that resonates deeply within.
Thank you!!
Even as I hear your words in 2023, there is so much resonance in the way events and happenings have been unfolding in my life. I am so very grateful for your words and for allowing the ancestral voices to be woven into them. While I am listening, the images that the mind is conditioned to form through words recede and it is a marvelous comfort to my heart. The truth rings through even though I cannot comprehend it logically, it still stitches together a reality that I can feel, like music. Thank you so much.
aho mitakuye oyasin!
So natural Charles. So real a being.
Grateful for these teachings 🙏💜
Thank you so much Charles. You're a beautiful soul who gives me strength!
You might be right, Charles. If there were no cameras in the room, probably those four or five people in the room would have had a good conversation together, have shared their thoughts on the subject. Afterwards maybe they would do something as a reaction. Now we (the viewers) only see and hear you ...
You really do make a difference man. just an affirmation for you haha
I SO needed this. Thank you so much!! Your voice is so important!
Dude, perfect timing. Thank you for this reminder. Thank you to the Field!

or enablers or slaves or servants of the addicts. So, so sad.
But Eisenstein speaks the heart of many. Cannot thank you enough for your work.
This is so important to remember right now. ❤ thank you for sharing.
Thank you for you calm and sane voice
It made all the difference today❤
Thank you Charles. My life resonates in your words and the value of that is community.
Way to go, Charles! You're tapping into a rich fountain and bottling it for human consumption... Keep 'em comin, man!
You hit the nail in the head !
Thank you Charles. This has articulated something I say often - a quote from Mother Teresa "We may not all do great things, but we can all do small things with great love". I truly believe that if each of us does what we are guided to do each day - no matter how small - then together we will make great change. I appreciate you taking time to record this.
you have deeply changed my view on change. thank you
Thank you so much Charles. I needed this.
Thank you for sharing your clear vision 🙏🏻
You're so knowledgeable and wise Charles ☺️🙏🕉️
Thank you
Wow. Well said.
Love you. Such a gift to share in this.
heart respect...thanku
Really appreciate the work you're doing, Charles. I think you may find some aspects of a theory called 'human design' interesting and I thought I'd mention it here. It goes a bit into the esoteric realm, but what you've described here as the voice sounds a lot like emotional clarity in human design (or alternatively in the gene keys).
Cheers and looking forward to more of your content!

I would love to have a conversation with you, Charles, but for now, watching your video will do. In fact, what you are saying in this video is what I want to hear in my space/time. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much. I really needed this x
Thank you Charles, that was fantastic.
Sir, you are such an amazing person i dont have word to explain. Your vedios are helping paradim shift for those who are looking for a different perspective of current ecomony trap we are trapped in. You are God to me...
Beautiful
Helpful 👍
I love it! Thank you, Charles !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8:55 ❤ Trust
amen
What you say is totally true to me. But now that I heard your thoughts, my mind wonders: why should I do anything differently, why not do everything the way as I have always been? On the other hand, I know that I woke up to something and I want things to change, at least in my own life's radius. A bit confusing..
IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING IN THE PRESENT MOMENT FULLY, ABSORBING EVERY TINY BIT OF BEAUTY, HAPPINESS, LIFE FROM SUN, MOON, EARTH, TREES, HUMAN BEINGS, ANIMALS, BIRDS. AND ALL THE UNKNOWN UNKNOWNS AS WELL. WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT, THINKING ABOUT OR LISTENING SOME BEAUTIFUL VOICE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT THAN AFTER THAT IN OUR DOING PART WE SHOULD BE A PERSON WHEN ONE IS IF GOING TO DO ANYTHING OR EVERYTHING IT MUST BE WORK OR A REASON, TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE ETC FOR THE BETTER MENT OUR MOTHER NATURE AND MOTHER EARTH AND ALL THE LIVING AND NON LIVING BEINGS. IT SHOULD NOT BE ANYTHING WHO CREATE ANY KIND OF DESTRUCTION. THAN ONLY OUR BECOMING WILL BE POSSIBLE IN GRETAER AND HOLISTICALLY HEALTHIER VERSIONS OF BECOMING. FOR EVEN OUR DI
We're in a deep sea of ambiguity. It's like our very existence is ambiguous.
Thank you so much. I so needed to hear this. Bessings :)

I love your work Charles
The starfish story. “I made a difference to that one!”
The little creek is important to nurture, but have 2 real friends sign in to a local GCC node because that simple action is what will change the bigger pic and save the wildlife habitats from cattle grazers

Thanks Charles, I needed this! :-) May I ask your opinion, please? When people tell me that I'm just a distrusting childish rebel for not wanting the vaccine, do you think they are pointing out a blind spot? Or can I just trust what genuinely feels right for me, without fearing that perhaps unconsciously I am trying to serve some 'hidden agenda' with it?
Wonder what you decided... did you go with your gut, or rather with what society and other people may say?
@@ingridkneer8246 Still not vaccinated, still noticing that somehow I seem to see reality differently from the large majority of people around me, and therefore still not 100% confident.
@@arcadianwings2662 A big well done and pat on the back. That is courage!
Confidence will come, you are on the right path
@@ingridkneer8246 Thank You :-) Where are you from? th-cam.com/video/N98WwR5fwmw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SuperColie
2021 now, this thumbnail just makes me think "SHEEEEEEEESH!!!!"
The way you get ready, is to get help.
Is it not that 'movers and shakers' are created in the same way? Maybe Hitler`s parents were worst than him (theoretically). How we know, that helping an old lady, passing street, will create "good" things in future? Maybe she is a horrible person that humiliates her own grandson, who one day will kill dozens of people..? Is believe in goodness not only a faith?
I like Charles, and usually agree philosophically with him. But, he fundamentally does not understand the timescales of the climate crisis. We do not have 500 years... the scientific community tells us we literally have decades (within my lifetime) to avoid hitting climate tipping points and triggering the collapse of human civilization and the 6th mass extinction. Just listen to the basic statements from the UN IPCC report, the consensus of the global scientific community. There's still no easy answers as to what it means to live well in these turbulent times, but you really do have to start from the basic physics to grapple meaningfully with these questions.
I do appreciate the calm kindness of this, but for me to resonate, I'll need something else. Numbers, science. Otherwise this is just wishful thinking.
Hey I know what we should do - Tokenize all of Nature -- LOL!!!! So, in order to save nature we need to put it onto the Metaverse. You think you fool anyone with your fake granola talk??
