Are you limited by your race, gender, or sexual orientation?

In this episode, we dive deep into the controversial and pervasive topic of identity politics. It’s a tool used by politicians across the spectrum and has been around for thousands of years-yet its dangers are rarely discussed in depth. We’re here to explore why identity politics is so destructive and, more importantly, share a solution that almost no one is talking about.
Join spiritual teachers Michael and Sister Shireen, who together bring over 55 years of experience, as they offer insights on how to navigate and thrive as a spiritual being in today’s chaotic world. Discover how identity politics fuels division-whether by race, gender, or other social groups-and learn a transformative perspective that transcends these labels, offering clarity and unity in a world seemingly built on opposition.
Get ready for a thought-provoking discussion that connects politics with spirituality. Welcome to the podcast!

I watched for 13 minutes and I have to comment at this point. I think the wrong message is going out, and I think you might not want it to be.
What I was getting is that some groups have "movements" and this initiates the problem; "the communists exterminated the rich people"; "Religion" has led to wars, etc. This seems to communicate that people with movements are the cause for concern, and "why don't we all just get along?" as a useful antidote. As a person who has been a supporter of some movements (ie economic fairness, opposition to war, rights for Trans* people) my perspective is different. What I've seen is that the social turbulence is essential to maintaining the elevated privileges of a relatively small and influential group of people in western society. In the past, religion has been the VEHICLE for inciting and promoting wars. That was largely due to them being the "social media" of the pre-electronic age. Information was gathered on the feelings of the working classes and their misplaced trust in the hierarchy of the. religions allowed them to be manipulated into actions that were at odds with their own principles. Since the Middle Ages, the privileged have trained their sons to be military, legal, and clergy - the tentacles of social control. I see today that "the media" (the broadly available electronic channels, the International troll armies, and print publications) are at the service of the small group of privileged folk. They use their media influence to create false narratives that play on the old brain parts of people's heads to install fears that are used to drive people against, generally, disadvantaged sections of society. Trans people make up a very tiny part of the population and there has never been danger from them. They are very vulnerable and easy targets. Thus they are amongst those who have banded together for defence. People defending themselves are not the problem. The ignorant who don't have the education or sensibility to avoid being drawn into group madness against others are ostensibly the problem, but are no more that than religion causing wars - they're just another tool of the sick and twisted psychopaths that are accelerating the world towards social incineration.
Yes, we are immortal beings. But while we're here, we are also animals that generally have some conscience and ability to act for the benefit of all beings. Making "identity politics" the problem is not helping the people that need help, nor applying efficient balm to a deteriorating situation.
Good day to you. Om.

Thank you so much for your comment. I’m sure if you watched to the end you would see what exactly we’re saying because it can be misinterpreted. In essence - the message we’re trying to share is that when we see ourselves and everyone else as a spiritual being then many of the polarizing labels are removed. And that is a source of deep healing and peace, which hardly anyone mentions. And again thank you so much for your beautiful presence and all your good vibrations.
