Thanks for this profoundly insighful read. I particularily resonate with your take on moving beyond the self to embrace the interconnected nature of things. I wrote about what comes after Self-Actualization here:

beautifully written, i would say, digging even deeper than individualism is this deep seated highly evolved notion that we are selves, separate from the whole. Glimpsing through this as individuals and as collectives is the path to liberation. No matter what the interventions through sociology, economics, psychology or neuroscience, this is the hardest problem to overcome and requires the most radical interventions of them all!

Beautiful article Patricia, what practices do you have on the micro level to be more selfless and let go of the dualistic frame?
