Christopher shares that history follows cyclical patterns, and the current polarization and conflict in society are part of a larger cycle. After periods of existential crisis there is usually greater unity and peace. Chaos and conflict may provide opportunities for more presence and participation that can raise us to a higher level of consciousness to embrace unity in diversity.
