Opposing Political Views Are Vital Voices in Human Development, Says Inner Science Founder Thomas Hübl
NOVATO, Calif., Oct. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In an interview about his upcoming online course Meditate and Mediate, which will examine the connections between world events and our inner experiences, Academy of Inner Science founder Thomas Hübl shared some powerful methods of engagement that people can use when they find themselves on different sides of the political spectrum from friends, family, and loved ones. "When we truly listen, we're not just listening to a person—we're listening to life through that person," advised Hübl. "We meet life's perspective through different people. I believe our different political views just mirror the richness of human development. They might also mirror outdated aspects of those voices, but they're still important voices to hear."
Elaborating on the need to take a broader and calmer approach to conflicts in our lives, Hübl said that the most critical time to explore our own perspective is when we get angry and argumentative. Finding that calmer, higher perspective happens most easily when people take the time to really listen to each other, creating a foundation of coherence. "Listening creates space and provides a foundation for developing the capacity of wisdom. Wise people can hold multiple perspectives at the same time. Now is the time for us to grow that wisdom."
Hübl Upcoming Events: On October 28, 2017 Thomas Hübl and William Ury, co-author of Getting to Yes, the world's bestselling book on negotiation, will launch their online course, Meditate & Mediate - Developing Presence, Resolving Conflicts, Inspiring Change.
