The Final Addiction We Must Heal to Evolve (It’s Not What You Think)

Episode 89

6/17/2025

Featuring James Twyman

What if the greatest threat to humanity isn’t war, climate collapse, or AI, but our addiction to being right?

In this timely and transformative episode, Dr. Sandra Marie welcomes internationally known peace troubadour, mystic, and author James Twyman to explore how three simple words, “I don’t know. Maybe. I love you.” can dismantle the walls of polarization and help us remember what it means to be human.

From performing peace concerts in Baghdad and walking with Sufi mystics, to confronting political tension with radical compassion, James shares the real-world stories that shaped his powerful new movement of depolarization through love.

Together, we dive into:

  • The hidden cost of being “right” in relationships and society

  • Why holy neutrality is not passive, but revolutionary

  • How to engage without fighting, and listen without losing your voice

  • The legacy of St. Francis and the collapse of the feudal system

  • The spiritual technology behind “I don’t know. Maybe. I love you.”

Whether you're overwhelmed by the news, navigating conflict at home, or simply tired of division this episode offers a powerful reframe and an even more powerful invitation.

“Peace is not found in the loudest voice, but in the quiet decision to open, again and again and again.”
