“Lack of curiosity, fear, isolation, repulsion, tribal biases — these are neural patterns. The call of our time is to establish new neural patterns. We need a spiritual rewiring that enables us to see one another, in our pain and in our fear, in our joy and in our yearning. In our humanity. It’s what I’ve been calling throughout this book the 'amen effect': repeated, ritualized encounters with the other, designed to train our hearts to see that we are all bound up in one another.”
