MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Earlier this week I spoke with renowned mediator Ken Cloke.
Ken is a living breathing apostle of the philosophy of practical nonviolence that Gandhi and MLK took to such a high level.
Because we were on a call with a group of professional mediators, I asked Ken what the recent US election might mean for mediators in the US. I'm sharing his answer more publicly because I see the philosophy behind mediation as being appropriate to anyone involved in human relationships.
The mediation mindset is what happens when you look at human relationship as a spiritual path.
I encourage you to listen to Ken with the following question in mind: What is the essence of non-violence?
He says the word "nonviolence" explicitly only once, near the end of the episode, but everything he is saying about doubling down on our values and rising above hatred is, in my mind, the core of Gandhian teachings.
Other important tidbits are Ken's definition of an enemy, which is a really kick in the stomach, and his architecture of hatred -- the three essential elements to creating political hatred.
