What if resistance wasn’t about force, but about vulnerability?
Ever wondered if there's a different way to tackle the world's conflicts? In this episode of 'A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment', Scott Snibbe chats with transformative activist Kazu Haga about his new book, 'Fierce Vulnerability'. Kazu introduces a fresh perspective on nonviolence, suggesting that true resistance might come from vulnerability rather than force. Drawing from the teachings of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Kazu argues that the real enemy isn't the opposition, but our own sense of separateness.
He explores how this division fuels violence and how healing our own traumas can help mend societal wounds. The episode is packed with thought-provoking questions about the nature of conflict, the power of empathy, and the potential for a world united by mutual respect. Kazu shares his insights on how activism can be more about opening up than shutting down, and how embracing our vulnerabilities can lead to genuine transformation.
If you're curious about rethinking resistance and healing on a personal and societal level, this conversation is a must-listen. So, are you ready to challenge your ideas about conflict and discover a new path to peace?
