About this listen

In this episode of The Higher Self Dialogues, I examine the instinct to protect ourselves through strength, whether militarily, politically, or psychologically, and ask what it truly costs us. Why do we place so much trust in walls, weapons, and alliances to keep us safe? And what if those very strategies are helping create the conflicts they claim to prevent?


Through a nuanced consideration of global defense systems such as NATO and the Iron Dome, this episode explores how our fixation on security often stems from fear rather than wisdom. That fear not only shapes our policies but also affects how we see ourselves and others. True peace, it is maintained, does not come from overpowering threats but from outgrowing the mindset that makes them seem inevitable. When we begin to sacrifice the need for control and embrace mutual understanding and integration, we find a different kind of safety - one grounded in connection, not domination.
