I was recently the target of online hate because of my book Secrets of Greek Mysticism. Two podcasters decided to publicly attack my work, calling it misogynistic and even neo-Nazi. I’ll be honest — it wasn’t pleasant. But what surprised me most was how differently I responded compared to the past.
There was a time when something like this would have deeply triggered me. I would’ve spiralled, defended myself aggressively, or taken it all very personally. This time, though, I could see the bigger picture. I could sense where their anger and hostility were really coming from, and instead of reacting, I met the situation with calmness, perspective, and maturity. I was genuinely proud of myself for that.
Still, one question stayed with me. Why couldn’t we find common ground? I could understand aspects of their critique — disagreement is inevitable and even healthy — but why did it need to turn into hostility? When did disagreeing start meaning attacking, shaming, or trying to destroy the person behind the work? Why can’t we disagree, set boundaries, and still coexist with respect?
These questions are exactly why today’s episode of the Energy Work Podcast feels so timely. In this conversation, I speak with James Twyman about polarization, certainty, and what he calls “the pandemic of being right.” We explore why people cling so tightly to their opinions, how disagreement so easily escalates into dehumanization, and what it actually takes to hold love and compassion in the middle of conflict — without abandoning your truth.
James shares a simple but powerful framework — “I don’t know, maybe, I love you” — and we talk about how it can radically change the way we approach difficult conversations, online hostility, family disagreements, and political or spiritual divides. This episode isn’t about bypassing or people-pleasing. It’s about choosing connection over combat and remembering our shared humanity, even when we don’t agree.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How releasing the need to be right can soften polarized conversations.
- Why certainty fuels division and how to respond without abandoning your values.
- What everyday encounters reveal about bridging deep ideological differences.
- Practical tools to navigate charged discussions with compassion and presence.
- How choosing connection over correctness can heal relationships and communities.
