Challenging Polarization
How Nondual Awareness Can Transform Our Most Challenging Divides
In an age of seemingly endless tension and stark opposition, it’s easy to feel frozen—stuck in patterns of thought that only deepen our divides. This talk introduces the Time, Space Knowledge vision (TSK) and its potential as a path toward letting go of rigid structures, not just in our personal lives, but in our engagement with the world.
TSK suggests that our deepest conflicts are rooted in a habit of dualism: a pattern of labeling our experience into fixed “this or that” categories, which fundamentally limits our intelligence and capacity for change. We will explore how this tendency to freeze or lock knowledge into rigid belief patterns prevent the free flow of understanding. You’ll leave with practical insights on how this nondual philosophy can help us ease habitual oppositions and unlock a deeper, more active intelligence—one uniquely suited to skillfully navigate and transform the challenging questions and societal polarization we face right now.
