Episode 9: The Binary Nature of the Consciousness that Drives oppression

In this episode, we will learn about the impact of consciousness on our daily lives and relationships and how our perception of the world around us influences our behavior and communication. Get to the root cause of the binary nature of the consciousness that’s holding us back from true collaboration and mutual understanding with me.  

Key Takeaways: 

• The Definition of Consciousness - The state of being awake and aware of one’s surroundings. 
• Perception is Projection - How we see and interpret the world around us is often a reflection of our internal beliefs, biases, and experiences 
• Binary Consciousness - The binary nature of consciousness drives oppression by perpetuating a belief in scarcity—thinking that one must lose for another to win. 
• Embracing a Shared Victory - When we are trapped in binary consciousness, we overlook the possibilities of collaboration and shared victories and fail to recognize that many situations can be approached in ways that allow all parties to benefit and thrive.  

Helpful Resource: 

By changing how we think and being more open-minded and cooperative rather than stuck in rigid divisions, we can create better relationships and progress together.  

Notable Highlights: 

“Our perception of our relationships of what we're seeing, hearing, feeling, and tasting, it's what drives our listening, behavior, and communication.” 

“We are currently living in this space of consciousness of scarcity having the historical made-up belief that if you win, I must lose.” 

“At the end of the day, nothing that we do and change will make a difference until we start to evolve this consciousness.”
