One World in a New World with Raschell Harlingten and Zen BenefielIn this episode, join us as Raschell Harlingten delves deep into her journey of self-discovery, awakening, and the pursuit of a life aligned with her inner voice. From her early awareness, navigating the confines of "the Matrix," to her courageous leap of faith quitting a 9-to-5 job, Raschell's story is a testament to the power of inner guidance and the path of entrepreneurship.In a world that constantly buzzes with energy, vibrations, and stimuli, Zen Benefiel invites us on a journey into the depths of human perception and understanding. It begins with a simple yet profound query: How do we, as beings, truly feel and process our surroundings?Journeying through ancient trails and cutting-edge science, Zen and Raschell unveil the wisdom of the three-brain system: the gut, the heart, and the head. Picture it as a dance â the gut feels every vibration first, setting the rhythm. The heart then steps in, weighing whether these vibrations are desirable or undesirable, leading the choreography. Finally, the head, like a skilled dancer, processes and decides on the next move, completing the trio's performance.But what happens when we misstep? Zen and Raschell candidly share moments of discordance, revealing the innate capacity of the brain and mind to reflect, recalibrate, and help us find resonance once again.The narrative doesn't end there. Intertwining personal tales of homeopathic experiences, testing the body's vibrational cues with everything from medicine to meat, Raschell showcases the miraculous abilities our bodies possess. Through stories of a Russian lady in Canada using the solar plexus as a guide to a door-to-door butcher's curious meat test, we're reminded: our bodies are astoundingly intelligent, often knowing what we need before our conscious mind does.So, come along, as this episode encourages us to listen intently, to tap into our body's wisdom, and to foster a harmonious dance with the world around us. The tale is as old as time, and yet, perhaps, one we've just begun to truly understand.Tune in, and let's rediscover the narrative etched in every fiber of our being. And as you embark on this introspective voyage, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more tales that bridge the ancient with the contemporary.Connect with Raschell: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raschellharlingten/Raschell's website: https://www.raschellharlingten.ca/__________One World in a New World Compilation (Year 1): https://amzn.to/3p2RaXMWeb Services: https://shop.unitedwestandproductions..._______Connect with Zen: https://linkedin.com/zenbenefielZen's books: https://amazon.com/author/zendorZen's Coaching: https://BeTheDream.com Zen's CV et al: https://zenbenefiel.comThe Octopus Movement (non-linear thinkers): https://theoctopusmovement.org Live and Let Live Global Peace Movement: https://liveandletlive.org

One World in a New World with Sunitha Sandeep - TEDx Speaker & Transformative Coach* An Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)
Sunita Sandeep, a Technical Program Manager at Amazon Web Services and a certified Inner Transformational and Integrative Wellness Coach, talks about her childhood experiences of spending time alone, looking at the ceiling or sky, and doing nothing.
She explains how these moments of being quiet and still allowed her to feel connected to herself and everything around her, and gave her a sense of trust and confidence in a deeper part of herself. As she grew up and entered the corporate world, she lost touch with this inner awareness, but has since reconnected with it and integrated it into her life.
The journey of transformation is about being open, vulnerable, and willing to change. The process involves moving through different levels, starting with the surface level of mental thoughts, progressing to emotional intelligence, and finally to the gut level. It is important to allow oneself to feel all emotions on a spectrum and not judge them.
Letting go of personal will leads to a natural state that carries data that has not been unpacked due to lack of quietness. The journey is simple but not easy, and different perspectives operate in the moment. Sunitha discusses the importance of deep listening and the power it has in connecting with others, promoting creativity and facilitating change.
Zen suggests that as leaders, it is essential to lead with empathy and emotional intelligence, which starts with being an active listener. Zen also shares their experience as the executive director of a Global Peace movement, which involves removing aggression and nurturing growth to create a vibrant collective.
Fear is discussed as a major barrier to change and the author recommends inquiry-based practices and transmutation processes to overcome fear. One of the suggested practices is to sit with fear and ask oneself what is feared the most. This is seen as a form of self-care that promotes inside-out transformation.

One World in a New World with Jonathan Macdonald - Adoptee, Advocate, Co Founder, Podcast Host
Jonathan Macdonald is a fascinating person with a unique perspective on the world. It's interesting to hear about his experiences as an adoptee and how that has influenced his sense of identity. His openness about his challenges with autism and dyslexia and his use of neuroplasticity to overcome them is inspiring.
It's also thought-provoking to consider the role of perception and observation in shaping our reality, especially when it comes to issues like racism. Overall, it sounds like a deep and engaging conversation that offers many insights on how we can live more joyfully and authentically.
The conversational style is a bit different, taking frequent tangential journeys. Humble and self-effacing, this apocalptic chat is full of considerations and polite push backs. You might notice a few things in both that are 'in the spectrum' Neither are too concerned about 'fitting in.'
Jonathan tosses back a question, 'Why would you question your extensive perception as being different from others?' 'How would you know?' Curiosity is tantamount and we tend to lose it as we mature. Why? Was Darwin right or is it more the survival of what fits best for the harmony of all?
Quite astutely, Jonathan profers that any decision, whether one believes in the 'multiverse' or not, gives at least two binary options. He offers an interesting description of how his mind works, like an explosion of multiverses at times. Neurodiversity at work.
One of those spins off into his childhood growing up in a white family and being of color in a largely caucasian community. Jonathan goes quite into depth about observations and perceptions and their effect on our reality. He offers an apocalyptic moment or two during the process as well, especially about racism.
The rounds of tangential conversations always come back full circle to the nature of who we are and the agency we have with our choices. Air drumming at a dance in his youth wouldn't be so welcomed as an adult in a similar environment, for instance. Why?
Later on Jonathan shares about the challenges he's faced. They are incredible. HIs ability to speak about them, imperturbably, is another testament to the curiosity and personal exploration of self that evolved. Listening in will surely shift your perspective about living life joyfully. Neuroplasticity and the discipline of recovery works magic as you'll hear.
Authentic and vulnerable in his sharing of how he operates in quite different ways than most, he reflects in ways that takes the conversation even deeper in the reveal of how we feel and think. It's like not knowing what we don't know and finding out there is so much to learn yet. The tangents are significant, yet they all make sense as we expand the considerations.

One World in a New World with Guy Morris - Novelist, Retired Tech Executive An Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)
Retired from a 36-year executive career with Fortune 100 software, high-tech and global energy, Guy Morris has also been a published song writer for Disney Records, a patented inventor, a Coast Guard charter captain, an adventurer, and now, a self-published author of thrillers. Our conversation is extended due to the depth.
Not thinking about making a difference in the world, he just want to explore what was in it. Guy shares some of those exploration throughout this conversation, starting off with running away from home at age 13; life elsewhere couldn't be any worse.
Admitting he was terrified and yet tenacious, he spent many hours working the fields with migrant workers in California as a teen. His story is fascinating in its challenges, diversity and outcome.
A few years later, his life changed dramatically after a prayerful moment and inner prompting. Guy admits he didn't believe it at first, yet the synchronistic events around it turned him around. He says it was like closing your eyes and leaping off a cliff without splattering.
A few years later, he'd advanced from the 'stupid kid' he grew up being told he was to asking questions of a professor that were beyond any others in the class. His learning and project for his graduation was building a macro-economic model that got him a scholarship. It also beat the all the business school as well as the Federal Reserve.
Jobs ensued, first with IBM. Guy felt he was bereft of social and emotional stability and turned to substance abuse. His addiction caused an intense fear of being discovered, though he was good at hiding. During that period a cohort at Microsoft said to him he was one of those scary smart people, able to hide and perform.
In the transition away from the scary stuff and toward the smart stuff, Guy admits he'd completely ignored his creative, innovative and spiritual side in life. You will be intrigued by the balance of the conversation as we explore some really interesting areas you might not expect.
It was a nice set up in the first half of the conversation. The last half is a deep dive for sure and you won't have to come up for air. Instead you'll find some fresh air as we continue diving into the intricacies of exploring reality and prophecy.

One World in a New World with Bill Heinrich - Author, CEO - Wisdom of the World, Executive CoachAn Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)Bill is a real estate superstar and executive coach who went through the depths of hell to learn how to shine. In our initial dive, Bill relates he grew up in a very strict religious home and felt like he was in a constant state of failure, never doing anything right based upon their doctrine. His insight as a result is profoundly presented next. It's a great way to begin our journey.Bill confirms the plight of many in trying to 'fit in' and still have fun. He found his life amiss, and walked away. Then the magic started happening. His story, coming from the spearhead of the 'Wisdom Film Series,' certainly has a rare flavor in coming out of the journey through hell he'd created. What he does confirm, though, is that as he sought answers, universal resources kept showing up, over and over, to guide and instruct him into a new living awareness, an unveiling of consciousness. Are you having internal conflict and in a living hell, even a little bit? What are you life's questions?This apocalyptic chat is well worth your listen. Bill unveils a 'crowning moment on earth' that you'll at first wonder, then realize the power of his statement in quite the apocalyptic style we so much enjoy in these conversations. There is a deluge of data in this chat, and you'll want to catch every bit of it. Often mistaken for an esoteric journey of self, our chats are designed to offer the practical and pragmatic mastery of self and alignment in the physical world. Bill and Zen share a deep understanding of the process and share some structural elements as well. We each have our own path and perspective that synergizes through attention, intention and interaction.Bill gets into some great depth of knowledge and understanding of principles, protocols and processes for bringing greater energy to life within us and into the world. It might even feel like the infamous 'download' you've heard about as a means of accelerating the learning curve in consciousness. It certainly is full of humorous anecdotes as well. How can we live a truly happy life and find fulfillment? This apocalyptic chat goes deep in exploring that question, let alone the possible answers. It may leave you with some questions, too.Enjoy the journey and do subscribe and share.

One World in a New World with Laura Donnelly - Author, Flow Coach, Podcast HostAn Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)We often refer to the 'dance of life' metaphorically, though as an empath, Laura's story is much more real world. Opening the exploration, Laura peers into her past as a budding dancer, hoping for opportunities to grow in her ability and be nutured by her director. Now her intuitive sight and wisdom from her own 'dance of life' offers future generations the ability to create the choreography for their dance. The invisible hand creates some nice choreography for our conversation, especially in the latter half. As we explore further, Laura recounts an event when she was nine and arriving home, stepping out of the car, and feeling like she got hit by a wave of energy that startled her for a moment. Along with it came the awareness that nothing would ever be the same. The conversation circles around sensitivity to energy, empathic capacity, and how we process the subtle and not-so-subtle sensations. It's noted that in prior generations, boomers and older, there was no open conversations even though it was obvious family members had certain sensitivities beyond the norm, or perhaps they didn't a everyone was fairly oblivious to the subtle energy fields.As one might suspect, the notion of 'fitting in' is explored a bit more in depth. Laura reflects on her grandparents being born just prior to the turn of the 20th century and how people with heightened sensitive simply had to fit in. Today, there's more openness, yet acceptance and exploration is still in its infancy. Hopefully conversations like this helps the shift along.Laura reveals that the nature of a sensitive is to take everything on without distinction. Learning how to discern which is ours and which is others naturally sets up boundaries. She shares it wasn't until her late 30s and early 40s that her ability to move down the road and letting go of feeling responsible for that which really wasn't hers. She realized it wasn't her responsibility to prevent other's challenges. She speaks to the garnered awareness that we can inspire and invite others to consider an alternative path, yet choices are only in how we respond. Others will succeed or suffer depending on their choice to continue or change their dance with life, literally and metaphorically.What are you trying to fix that isn't yours to fix? Is your reality full of things needing to be fixed? Laura shares a story about a photographer friend that shared a pearl of wisdom that certain applies to the scenario. The conversation continues in the normal circuitous and often tangential style that provide apocalyptic moments for all. Explore the depth and tune in more in your own life.Glad you joined us.

One World in a New World with Karen Pascal - Author, Entrepreneur, Life Coach & Podcast HostAn Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)Karen's jovial demeanor certainly adds to the sharing of her journey from Guyana to the U.S. Cultures are different and yet she responds similarly to many guests in the knowing and yet not knowing how. She recognized over time that her sensitivity was different than most, yet everyone has the ability to recognize subtle impressions.Her early inquiry began with the curiosity of what others were thinking. How do we deal with the varies voices we hear from time to time? Karen shares that at times the voices are in other languages and at times her inner sight revealed other life forms, too. Throughout this conversational exploration, she shares several instances where she paid and attention to the 'inner voice' and others where she did not. Listen in for your own insight. Her stories are perhaps typical and yet not. Moments of authentic and raw reflections will warm your heart.When queried about her learning of the functionality of her awareness and sensitivity she shares her internal process of learning to let go of the outcome, whether she heeded the voice or not. Karen reflects and reviews, apocalytically, how the advice from within was there, subtly, always. What situations have you found where 'something' offered a message so clear and so quietly?Karen shares her grandmother gave her wise advice when she was younger; don't be attached to anything. She found that this unattachment actually emerges from unconditional love. She feels we are lucky to be here and the importance of enjoying each moment with love and compassion allows freedom to experience more in life.Insights are sharred from a recent Friendship Bench, sponsored by BizCatalyst360, regarding the process of transformation being slow, like a snake shedding its skin slowly, or like a lobster that is quicker in changing yet has a greater vulnerability in doing so. Karen offers that the transcendence is going beyond ego, surrendering to the higher self or the natural connection we all have with creation.In the subtle world, does the outer world become a challenge or distraction to flow? Karen recounts some instances in Guyana where precarious situations became safer when she remained still inside and offered no attention to the outer event's temptation. The conversation goes deeper in exploring out-of-body experiences, which Karen describes in greater detail as Zen inquires further.Although the topics are serious, some pushing boundaries of understanding, Karen's authentic joy and openness is certainly refreshing. Karen and Zen discuss the congruency of science and spirituality in exploring the dynamics of inner sensitivity and relationships with self and others. She will surprise you with how easily she shares what most of us are recitent to do. Thanks for your attention and time. Please do subscribe and share our channel.

One World in a New World with Dr. Jacob Liberman - Author, Pioneer in Light MedicineAn Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)Are we aging or saging? Do we seek natural order? Is awareness curative?Explore further to find the moments of the answer and why. Do you long for oneness? Jacob and Zen explore multiple insightful perspectives you won't want to miss."Jacob Liberman has managed to unravel the secrets of light and offer them to the world as a source of profound transformation and healing." â Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D.This will be an insight-ful episode, especially for the highly sensitive, starting off with Jacob's articulation of his awareness as a youth. This apocalyptic chat offers many such moments of salience.Jacob's discovery during his medical training in optometry lead to correcting his eyesight. You'll have to listen in to that one as he hasn't worn glasses for decades, after having progressive problems well into his 20s. What was the discovery? It comes in layers of the conversation. Our exploration may open something new for you; seeing quite differently, literally. So many perspectives of sight, awareness and 'being' are covered. Perhaps you'll see the light, too. His story may not blow your mind, though it will give you a new appreciation for innovation in eye care. It may even offer some solace to you or a loved one with alternatives to eye care. Jacob shares a new level of awareness with one of Zen's questions, mentioning new connections with memories. The conversation progresses into an exploration of his discoveries that lead to his practice in Light Medicine. The expert insight from optometry to self-awareness will engage you in the wealth of knowledge it can offer you with empathic resonance. Jacob makes a comment toward a topic, acknowledging how it creates neuroplasticity in the brain. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to rewire itself. What's in the way of neuroplasticity? Listen in for Jacob's explanation. It's quite remarkable, yet also obvious once he states it. The real depth of the conversation comes as Jacob shares the body's reliance on light for sustenance and how we can work with light in various ways to restore our well-being. 'Something is moving the universe,' says Jacob, 'like breathing in and out.' You'll love how Jacob and Zen dance with a challenge in communication, perhaps seeing things differently. Along the way the conversation falls into 'nothingness' with a wonderful exchange on the way to talking about subtle types of awareness, particularly with color, and what that offers to us. Perhaps it can resolve to ubiquitous contentment.What's the deal with color, light and vibration? Jacob and Zen dive in to 'being' midstream and off into multiple tangents that are aspects of 'oneness,' in awareness. Stay around for many apocalyptic moments of synonyms and antonyms, you'll be glad you did. Please share and subscribe.

One World in a New World with Seamus Power - Founder, Powering HealthAn Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)Seamus is a newcomer to exploring the realms of connectedness, rather rare in our guest book. His opening comments are insightful for viewers late in their careers who are beginning to wonder what's next. How do we evolve with consciousness? Perhaps its a heads up for the others, too. Seamus' snapshot view of his shift in awareness is quite profound; becoming an enlightened executive, if you will. It's refreshing to hear of the relevance of multidimensional perspectives in very practical terms. The interconnectedness of all things bubbles up from exploration in this apocalyptic chat.A rise in management levels at Hewlett Packard held conflicting allegiances, Seamus admits, and speaks to a plethora of considerations and decisions that affect people, places and things. He found the leaders that were most engaged with the employees were the ones most engaged with themselves, in their own growth.Seamus shares some key management strategies that reflect an awareness of connection that set up his further exploration into self-awareness after leaving the corporate world. His remarks about the transition are full of self-discoveries and insights worthy of exploration.Seamus and Zen share some experience with Otto Scharmer's (MIT) Theory U model and the activity of co-presencing and transformation. It's an intriguing segment you'll find beneficial. What would a fully present group be able to prototype. What's that? Listen in. It'll be worth your investment.Zen crafts a radically curious apocalyptic question that Seamus responds noting the technologies we have to measure, yet there's also an internal measuring system he's become aware of and the conversation deepens. Also a great moment to catch. Seamus brings his world-bridging awareness into practice throughout this apocalyptic chat. You'll enjoy the transition into a discussion about the body, brain, mind et al as a holistic system and how it might work if everything was hooked up appropriately. The spark in their conversation just might spill out. Thanks for showing up and giving us your precious time. Please do subscribe and share.

One World in a New World with Dr. Miriam Zylberglait 'Dr. Z' - Author, Educator, Physician, MotherAn Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)Miriam grew up in Lima, Peru, relating that it was much calmer there than many American cities, with family the focus of activity. She's board certified in three areas, including geriatrics and is authentic and personable in sharing her experience. Her reflection of life in Peru is quite inviting for the imagination of many. She moves into how the perspective of growing up and watching her parents, from childhood to becoming a caretaker, inspired her journey into geriatrics.Ever feel like you're in a bubble in your family environment? Miriam shares hers and how it shaped her inner life amongst a variety of cultures within the community. She acknowledges the bubble burst when she went to medical school and got immersed in the challenges of overcoming cultural shock. Diversity and inclusion became a new awareness that she's kept present and in mind since.The observations and reflections Miriam shares present a wonderful opportunity to learn how others might perceive reality and navigate their way through it effectively. Our conversation brings out the awareness of empathic resonance with choices and decisions across the spectrum of living life through personal experience of going beyond her expectations, immigrating to America as well.Speaking of, she shares that her social environment was limited, being focused on work didn't really give her the time to develop friends. Raising a family was a priority, too, and perhaps you might recognize the dilemmas faced as an immigrant that Miriam shares, too.That's the cursory view of the conversation before diving into the real substance in talking about health, well-being, and how our 'programming' contributes to our mental and physical condition, let alone our emotional well-being. Well worth staying with us for the balance of this quite interesting apocalyptic chat. Feel free to reach out to Dr. Z for more.Please subscribe and share.

One World in a New World with Carol Sanford - Author, Behavior Disruptor - E.P.-Regenerative Business Summit, 5x TED SpeakerAn Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)Carol's most recent book, The Regenerative Life: Transform Any Organization, Our Society, and Your Destiny (2020), sets forth her belief that âwe need a better theory of change, one that goes beyond the heroic and do-good models and that taps into, develops, and releases the inherent potential of every human being to live in ways that make meaningful contributions to the world.âWe are fortunate and honored to have Carol as a guest. She's known as a disruptor across a wide swath of companies and industries and this conversation is an example. Carol begins by noting her newest book about how a deeper look at behaviorism has the capacity for facilitating systemic change. She learned from her Mohawk grandfather that there was no such thing as inner and outer, that there is a whole in which we are embedded. She shares how he affected her life and future work in the regenerative culture. The exploration holds deep wisdom for today.Carol's wisdom comes through in defining the three areas of work in life; developing self leads to being able to attract and work with others on specific goals toward something relevant. She speaks to consciousness being recognizable in a fleeting moment, then it's gone. Regenerating that 'moment' moves us toward further embodiment of consciousness. The conversation floats back and forth in attempting to 'frame' the experience of consciousness in the moment, which Carol regards as very concrete... the observation of observing an activity, for instance. The regenerative capacity in the continued observation is constantly interrupted by distractions in thinking. Consciousness is a moment of observing something of interest.You are invited to take the challenge Carol offers our viewers, though you'll have to listen for it. You will be intrigued with the quest she offers for the moment. She speaks to being undivided, such as the ability to listen to the words being spoken and paying attention to them as they are crafted. Life for humans, in her opinion, is about being as conscious as possible in every moment.One of the best examples of the concept is being able to consider one's intention to function at a certain level with a group and then observing our behavior to see how well we match up on the fly. Carol shares some very important and practical methods in learning how to work together, starting with individual beliefs, listening to others' ideas and then allowing new ideas to emerge from the two.This conversation, as challenging as it appears at times in finding congruence, is one of the most valuable opportunities to observe the process of finding common ground. Carol's sharp intellect and wisdom from experience shines through the challenges with the ALS and her strength. You won't want to miss this apocalyptic chat as she is a gem for the future of humanity.Connect with Carol: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolsanfordkeynote/Carol's Books: https://amzn.to/3E78NtQCarol's website: https://carolsanford.com/_________Connect with Zen: https://linkedin.com/zenbenefielZen's web: https://zenbenefiel.comLive and Let Live Global Peace Movement: https://liveandletlive.org
One World in a New World with Victoria Rader - Coach, Speaker, Int'l Best-Selling AuthorAn Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)Victoria's accomplishments range from a Doctorate in Philosophy to authoring multiple books on empowerment. She had quite the shocking experience as a young child that impacted her quest for understanding and overcoming fear. The conversation takes many a twisted turn exploring resistance and flow.Like Dr. Laszlo (https://youtu.be/NDYZl-fnGWI), Victoria speaks to the embodiment of the higher self and the ways in which we can nurture the process. Zen mentions the various layers of consciousness, dimensions and constructs of creation that are being discovered through bridging direct experience and quantum science. She mentions the aspect of starting from 'not knowing,' much the same as the 'beginner's mind' concept.What do you think is possible for humans today? Can we really create our own reality?Seeking to describe the ineffable, the conversation explores various levels of consciousness and what is perceived to be present in each; 'brain candy' as Victoria describes it. She illustrates we are not just our body, that we are light condensed into these forms with the ability to choose. Similar views from others are discussed that you will find worth considering.What kinds of information can we find across the web that edifies the advancement of our awareness and the understanding of how we do have the potential of discovering our perfected form, fit and function in the world? Is this pursuit of awareness and understanding capable of moving us toward a new living awareness collectively? How can we play better together in hopes of achieving a sustainable cohabitation or even a thriving experience in the world? Victoria responds that we have the opportunity of responding from either a fear-based or fearless choice, and shares perspectives of each.Continuing down the rabbit hole, Victoria shares that there really is no wrong way to approach the process of inquiry to understand how our DNA and advancing levels of consciousness determine our experience. The bridging of the inner and outer realities through direct experience become more apparent. We invite you to explore this conversation and the possibilities in your life, just waiting for you to engage. The latter part of the conversation holds wonderful insights you can apply.Please do like, comment and share this conversation to help continue the flow and sprinkling of tasty tidbits for transcendence for your life and others.Connect with Victoria: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriarader/Victoria's books: https://amzn.to/3lkjiDtVictoria's website: https://yu2shine.com/_________Connect with Zen: https://linkedin.com/zenbenefielZen's web: https://zenbenefiel.comLive and Let Live Global Peace Movement: https://liveandletlive.org
One World in a New World with Daniel Christian Wahl - Author, Educator, Regenerative CatalystDaniel Christian Wahl was born in Munich in 1971 and grew up in Germany. By the time he was 28 he had travelled in 35 different countries on six continents. His early career was as a marine biologist and scuba diving instructor, before he decided to focus on sustainability and sustainable communities in 1998. Daniel also holds an MSc in Holistic Science (Schumacher College, 2002) and a PhD in Natural Design (University of Dundee, 2006).In reflecting on the initial dive into potential early recognition of an inner connection to everything, Daniel notes a conversation with his brother at about 9 years old while living in Munich in 1980. He sets the stage well, revealing conditions and societal fears at the time in Germany. It will impact your understanding of the progress we've made. He speaks to an early awareness of connections to the ocean and then forests, which led him to understand a perspective as being a part of a larger system. Finding deep access to our larger being, resting in our nature as nature, most find it in nature and don't believe they can find it in metro areas. He shares perspectives you might find insightful, even intriguing.Daniel's depth of inquiry and not knowing or presuming answers allows us to ask better questions, to peer deeper into the mechanisms that are include healthy systems and systemic challenges, such as structural violence. He mentions several key areas of concern and some pitfalls as well as peaks in collaborative achievements. The powerful question he offers, echoes throughout Designing Regenerative Cultures is, "How do we live the questions together?" Is it possible that question has potential in our collective growth as a global society? The conversation dives deeper than most in the exploration of synergy in systems and the questions still to be asked in the process of developing a sustainable and thriving world.Once you click in, you'll want to stay. Daniel is a deep thinker, insightful inquisitor, and wonderful willing guest to explore the deeper things that matter to us all in micro and macro fashion. If we don't ask question, explore fearlessly and become vulnerable to the emergent, how can we expect to succeed? Daniel's tenure as Director of Findhorn College, member of GAIA Education and engagement in the'Ecosystem Design Education,' 'Design for Sustainability' and 'Bioregional Design Education' programs bring a flavor to the these apocalyptic chats we haven't had yet. Among the unanswered questions are some tasty tidbits of what we know about challenges we face.Enjoy the show and come back for more. Don't forget to subscribe.

One World in a New World with Kim Sorrelle - Author, Cancer Survivor, Entrepreneur, SpeakerKim's story is profound in her discoveries and passionate sharing as 'life-changing and world rocking' opportunities. She begins by acknowledging we usually think that because we think a certain way, everyone else does, too. She says its the same for feeling like you are connected and a part of everything. She found out precognitive dreams weren't the norm, or at least no one was talking about them.What kinds of things have you noticed that your innocent or even naĂŻve thoughts about the possibility of something actually manifested in reality? Can you remember the process? At 47, she lost her husband and had to recreate her life. Acknowledging the void in her heart and life, she turned it into a year-long quest to define what 'love' is. Her sojourn began as a belief system, yet almost immediately transformed into an experience system as she discovered what love is. She wrote a book about her journey, aptly titled, LOVE IS.How do we share the experience of transformation and the knowledge we garner with others so that they, too, might have greater joy and happiness in their lives? Kim shares her insights about having more control over our lives than we realize. How might they benefit you?Further in the conversation, Kim responds to Zen's comment about being inundated by consumerist propaganda; acknowledge we don't really think about where things come from, what resources are used, how they are made, who makes them and where, what kinds of conditions do they work in and actually change our buying habits. Questioned how we might create a better future or introduce a new living awareness to the world, Kim gives a nice plug for Live and Let Live as she shares her passion for how people can create movements that change our course. She shares her perspective about how men and women can learn about each other through starting with a foundation of faith, love and trust in each other.She goes on to share a story of how she came to realize how expectations set up explosions in relationships. You will love how she shares and event with her husband to illustrate the point. It's more a more common event than you might think and quite funny. You'll have to listen in to find out, though. Thanks for your patronage and please check out more apocalyptic chats. You'll be glad you did.

One World in a New World with Mac McGregor - Author, World Champion, The Gender SenseiThis is an apocalyptic chat you'll love! Mac is a world champion martial artist who promotes the value of diversity, a transformation from growing up in the Bible Belt of the U.S. as a female. He's got a great sense of humor, too. You'll find the conversation insightful, warm and vulnerable.He speaks of the tendency to put people in boxes; just never seemed to fit. He saw early how the 'God is love' had a big 'but' after it, especially for the lbtqia community. His work, through Positive Masculinity, reflects an inspired evo-leap in behavior in others toward diversity and inclusion.Mac's story is circuitous and complementary, weaving through constrictive belief systems, with insatiable curiosity and many trips to the principal's office in parochial school. He shares realizations along the way from his continued curiosity and desire for making sense. His two questions, from very young, were, 'What am I here?,' and, 'What is my purpose?' What are yours? Are you having challenges with identity? Nonbinary and transgender identity may be a choice for you.Our conversation is a jovial dive into the follies and foibles of being stuck in old paradigms. He notes at 16, reading Leo Buscaglia, Course in Miracles and Elizabeth Kubler-Ross nurtured his inquiry. Zen shares his introduction to an inner voice at 4. Mac opens up and shares an early Out-of-Body Experience that you'll find insightful. The next occurred during a competition, after over a dozen matches in one day. His description and the conversation that evolves speaks to the understanding and use of energy. His shares how he demonstrated 'combat chi' on Ripley's Believe It or Not. The sharing of his feats is mind-blowing. You'll be fascinated at the first-hand account of what is possible.Zen moves the needle a bit more sharing a story about bi-location, which prompts Mac to acknowledge the deep responsibility for the use of energy and sacredness of it. A brief discussion of the Live and Let Live Movement moves Mac to sharing that we shouldn't be threatened by others if we are secure in who we are. His journey and understanding of diversity is way beyond the norm. It's quite moving. Speaking of moving, Mac shares a life-changing experience he has in his 30s. It's about caring for a mentally ill mother for most of his life, being the oldest of five children. The former self was also in transition to the present self, and the need for advocacy for diversity and inclusion.It's heart-wrenching and transcendent, too. The conversation continues with a wonderful flow of diving deep and making sense. Many are faced with challenging body identity and the misunderstandings of others. We're all just people, after all.

One World in a New World with Eileen Bild - Founder OTEL Universe, Executive ProducerEileen and Trever Bild are living the dream of working together in their company, Ordinary To Extraordinary Life.Eileen admits she's been on a journey of self-discovery since her early 40s, consistent with statistical reports. Important childhood question: 'Can I fit in like I am?' Enjoy the exploration of that question with Eileen.A medical condition threatened her life, taking her into a deep reconciliation. She gave a vehement call request to either be taken or healed. She recovered what she was missing, the connection, and dove into the process. Her description and story are worth exploring here in this conversation.Does your authentic expressed overwhelm others? How do you navigate that experience?Are people attracted to you, challenge you, and cause you to grow in uncomfortable ways? Eileen reveals some vulnerable moments in her development.Along about the 16-minute mark is a profound truth Eileen expresses that for sure will ripple through your thoughtmosphere with a lot of empathic resonance. The notion of 'nothingness' comes up for an apocalyptic moment as the discussion moves into managing the thoughts in our mind. What did you do previously that has precipitated your 'now moment? In observing your creation cycles, what can you do differently to grow and mature into your 'flow' in life?Are you able to sit and observe mindfully easily? Does it give you a sense of autonomy? Eileen posits some very interesting questions regarding the nature of maturity. Her insights are profound in reflecting on the parental nurturing, or lack thereof, in child development processes. How can we nurture the nature within children to help them meet the challenges we've left them? Can we help develop better educational and world views to support the emerging global village? Further into the conversation the layers of the onion are peeled back, reflected and reviewed in apocalyptic style where subtle distinctions and evolutions in perception are revealed. The conversation is insightful, lively and vulnerable in the depth of the dive. Dive in with Eileen and Zen, ponder your own sojourn and reflect on what you've garnered as insight and/or understanding. Thanks in advance and please do share with those you think will benefit.

One World in a New World with Susie Hayes - Author, Psychotherapist, Sex Therapist, Hypnotist, CoachHow curious are we about what's inside and who we are beyond the cursory lives we live? Is there an awakening happening in humanity as a result of global trauma? Are we exploring the depths of consciousness to find truth? Is it a spiritual path or just the course of curiosity?It's not often one gets to go deep with a psychotherapist, let alone one with such an interesting background in getting there. Her introduction speaks to a deep sense of curiosity and knowing, which led her into questioning reality and belief systems about it more than most. Our deep dive goes from inner connection to business environments to self-awareness and more.Suzie reflects on her childhood and growing up in a devout religious home, though her father encouraged her to question deeply, supporting her curiosity to explore life and her own journey. She was in the ministry for 13 years, traveling through many denominations, before taking a deeper dive into serving others.She got stuck on the doctrine of original sin. I just didn't resonate with her in her early 30s, which caused her to leave the ministry because of the dissonance she felt. Suzie, smilingly, reveals she became a metaphysical junkie for a while, reading and studying everything she could find. What if we weren't born in original sin? That question causes a lot of full stops in thinking, no doubt. Apocalyptic chats tend to cause a pause for reflection.Then she found psychotherapy and a home for serving others with the experience, knowledge and wisdom she had garnered and yet still was curious about self-realization. We discuss business and work environments and how to deal with toxic environments later in the conversation.Does it have to feel safe for you to be curious? Can you be fearless in your questioning? How do we create the environments to safely question truth or our perception of it? Suzie's mention of trust and the story of how she found it is a must listen. You'll garner insight for sure. Her wisdom shared could change your life for the better.Exploration of self is her life-long effort that is unpacked in quite interesting and transformative ways in the conversation. Are you interested in resilience and resolve? You'll find the way Suzie frames her experience and journey offers a lot of helpful hints anyone can integrate into life. Do you live by an experience system or believe system? The conversation expands into some deep discovery.The conversation goes deep into the curiosity of both Suzie and Zen and finer layers of personal space and the vulnerability of sharing perspectives in this psychologically safe and intellectually humble. If you like deep conversations about how we work, this is a great one.

One World in a New World with Gina Lobito - Author, Bodyworker, Life Coach, Podcaster
How do you get in touch with you?
Gina took a wild turn in her life, after a career in criminal justice and law enforcement. This apocalyptic chat holds a plethora of poignant pauses for reflection. The conversation begins with the usual exploration into when her inner-awareness transformed her concerns in the external world. She immediately recognized how peering into her past brought realization of not-so-coincidental events.
Gina reveals that her awareness of the inner journey happened in her mid-20s and included an exploration into the affects of using crystals for bodywork. That notion was totally foreign to people just a few decades ago. Now, there's actually science that supports it. Just being willing to explore it shifts one's perception.
Gina reveals her path to opening to love and how it was both scary and exciting as her perception expanded into a new living awareness that included more clear boundaries with others. She shares a vulnerability of recognizing her ability to make new self-aware choices and respond with greater strength of character, although she doesn't quite put it like that in conversation. Listen in...
These apocalyptic chats take many twists and turns through trials and tribulations, yet they always reveal ways others can transform their lives in some way. Generative conversations take our audience into places often unexpected because of the thought-provoking dialog that occurs. We all go through changes and these times are undoubted the toughest humanity has faced to date.
Gina's stories are wonderfully wrapped tales of her own transformation that lead to how she was then able to offer assistance to others in more profound ways through her work. Perhaps you may see some of yourself in her journey or your curiosity piqued by a well-timed comment happening simultaneously with your inner dialog. Wouldn't that be something?

One World in a New World with Dr. Terrence Johnson - Co Founder, Counselor, Innovator
As a young boy, Terrence found that people sought his counsel for some reason, including adults. His career in counseling and education fit perfectly into that flow. His story bridges the inner and outer worlds with great reflection from his tenure in mental health with a high degree of empathy.
Learning how to read at an early age, he grew found of storytelling. His curiosity and a penchant for nature walks with his grandmother as a kid also fueled his love for storytelling. His activity as a youth might sound very familiar to some and invites inquiry for those who've been seeking their own connection.
Education was big in his home growing up. Schoolwork came first, and there was no playing until it was done daily. T speaks to the importance of education and Zen offers that critical thinking is
America's national deficit today. He started a college scholarship fund at his church to help give back to the community.
Not only reading, writing was essential for him as well. He shares a bit about his grandfather and inspiration to share his story that he got from reading an article about an elder in their community. T admits writing can be cathartic and transformative, especially in deeply meaningful pieces.
You'll love how he honored his father and the considerations that came afterward. Terrence says noticing the version of you before the passing is different than the version of you resulting after the event. It comes from the growth in processing it, and time.
T talks about dreams that have offered so much to his life and understanding as well, especially after his father's passing. The conversation drifts into reflections of how those who've passed have ways to communicate across the boundary of the physical world. Zen shares a personal story about the passing of his adoptive father you'll find touching and transformative.
The connected conversations draws upon the dots of communication that includes the ways to include the various learning styles, transferring the visual snapshots that turn into wonderful journeys. T notes the process of writing being a way to engage in a kind of progressive storytelling that offers insight and understanding through the construction of the message and scenery used to deliver it.
The scenery of he conversation continues to offer wonderful views along with some insights that came from decades of counseling, empathic resonance with deep sensitivity and unexpected discoveries of self-awareness and personal growth that are truly inspiring.

One World in a New World with Limor Bergman - Mentor, Executive Coach
Limor is a woman in leadership in the tech industry, with a strong background in diversity and inclusion in her field. She admits that she was a rather obedient girl growing up, just wanting to be accepted by others her age. She also speaks to the beginning of her quest to connect deeper with life in her mid-40s.
Questioning where she was at in her professional career, she shares her journey of discovery. You'll find it heart-warming and perhaps similar to your own. Making a living just wasn't good enough. She relates that 'coincidentally' she was approached to mentor engineering managers, which offered only experience with no pay at the time.
Mentorship took her to a new level, with feedback offering that she was really good at it. Eventually she made a career out of it, moving out of her Director of Engineering position. What would it be like to be a Director of Engineering in such a male-dominated field. You'll find her journey so synchronistic, beyond her awareness at the time.
Given the skillset, passion and ability to perform, when faced with an open door of possibility, what would you do? Limor cites having a few good ears is certainly helpful. The emerging direction she shares offers a tremendous amount of insight. The discussion moves to the challenge of balancing the internal and external worlds. You'll love it.
How do you combine or integrate your passions, skillset and purpose for life and work? Limor's process and cohesion in her expression will take you through some wonderful twists and turns. The many steps to success offer trials, tribulations and much learning.
How is your experience in making decisions to impact your future? What are the feelings and thoughts the flow in the process? Are you able to acknowledge both in your journey? Is it rich in content or a little disconnected? How do you access flow? Listen in to how Limor discovered and recognized how to create it and embody it. It might work for you, too.
We invite you to enjoy this conversation and its capacity to expand your awareness and perhaps your willingness to take a few new risks to explore your possibilities. The conversation is so insightful throughout and gets quite deep as it evolves into talking about catching signals.
Thanks for being here.

One World in a New World with Otto Gatternigg - Founder, Foundation for Humanity
Curiosity leads us to new knowledge. For Otto, professionally, it took him from Vienna an banking to woodworking and interior design, to Cambodia and creating a non-profit.
Otto was a highly sensitive child, remembering being able to perceive the authenticity/energy of people he met with his parents during their walks on the streets in Austria. He says his grandmother was instrumental in helping him learn how to use his sensitivity.
He shares that this gift isn't really welcome in most places and with most people. Would you agree? Perhaps listening in to the conversation would be helpful. He reflects that when you are young, you take rejection personally, though it really isn't about you.
Otto's reflections are priceless for personal growth and understanding. His commitment to his inner voice and direction shines in reflecting on navigating life's offerings.
How have you come out of the pandemic? What difference have you noticed in the way you navigate life? Zen outlines a shift in ages and the possible experience available. What kind of effect might this epochal shift have in our experience? What's available to view?
Otto frames it as 'moving toward the light' as human beings. The pandemic was a wake up call for humanity to examine its condition and adjust accordingly toward greater harmony. Life, in his opinion, is presenting us with the opportunity to shift our activity collectively, looking for new solutions.
Otto testifies that the 'inner child' is always present, some just forget. The inner child is connected, tuned in to the essence of life. He recommends starting each day as a new day, with the ability to experience it fully, fearlessly.
Are you aware of how you think? Are you curious and open? Can you suspend your belief system in the face of something outside your normal experience or even the unknown? How is your life now compared to a few years ago?
The conversation offers opportunities to be curious, to reflect and to peer into the depths of what might be keeping you from coming forth in all your magnificence. Listen in for ways to explore and understand new ways of being, of thinking and of doing...
How do we learn to get along and work together better? Listen in to that exploration. You can make a difference, too, just by listening to this apocalyptic chat.

One World in a New World with Hank Dearden - Executive Director, ForestPlanet
Hank's background has been on the leading edge of inquiry and movement toward the science of taking care of our Mother Earth.
Queried on the usual question of how he found passion and purpose in life, Hank reflects that he'd always had a predilection for math and engineering; getting things to work in harmony. He uses several illustrations you'll enjoy as we move through his life and work.
How do we applying engineering toward working with our planet better? Hank feels the admonition and practical application of, 'thou shalt not mess with your nest,' surely applies and space won't matter if we cannot take care of our planet. Our conversation covers a plethora of possibilities.
Delving a little deeper, Hank relates his experience at Dartmouth in exploring systems engineering through computer modeling in the early days. Worth giving some attention to in the diversity of systems he mentions and how they connect. He covers mental as well as physical systems, their non-linearity and, at times, non-local nature.
Hank goes on to speak toward fulfillment, inclusive of life and work, though he admits many find no fulfillment in their jobs and seek fulfillment elsewhere. What if there was, from an engineering standpoint, a perfected form, fit and function in the world? The conversation goes deeper.
Discussing systems dynamics and flow, scaling systems and learning how to work together better to serve the planet by so doing is a conversation that is growing in importance. You'll find new insights and perspectives from the dialog. Quite an intelligent conversation.
Business processes, according to Hank, are what's missing in the service organizations and that these processes are necessary for charities and organizations as well. Everything is a process and processes evolve for a lot of reasons. Leadership is key.
On very practical levels, Hank and Zen explore deeper levels of systems across society and how they interact effectively and ineffectively. The circuitous conversation explores interactions from material to spiritual to populations and exploring the unknown. They have some surprising reflections.
Speaking of process and flow, the 'rest of the story,' as Paul Harvey would say, is worth your time, even if you're just listening in the background. Hank and Zen, both with varied backgrounds that include engineering, science and planetary service, offer a thoughtmosphere of curiosity, inquiry and pragmatic considerations. Thank you for being here now.

One World in a New World with Kevin Herring - Co Founder, Ascent Management Consulting
Kevin keeps the conversation in the realms more familiar to most of us; citing his early development was more about having the freedom to explore learning how to do things on his own. Curiosity was his companion.
It wasn't until he was an adult that he was able to put the pieces together and apply his passion toward empowered leadership and organizational behavior. He shares many tasty tidbits in this conversation.
Stating he was a difficult child as a youth, wanting to understand the 'why' of things, he sought closure through inquiry. A curious advantage, Kevin mentions his father was in the military and they moved a lot, so he had to figure out each new environment they encountered. His confidence grew.
He landed in organizational behavior studies with the help of a mentor who asked him questions about his likes and passions and point him in a possible direction. The conversation led to organizational behavior, a rather new field at the time. He got hooked and loved the study of how people worked together better through leadership and structure.
How do you empower individuals and organizations to increase production through effective leadership and support? Details are many, yet Kevin reveals micromanagement is a major bottleneck, even with the knowledge of leadership best practices. The sense of losing control impedes progress. Kevin shares some ways through that process.
We explore the goings on with the shift in the workplace activity; remote vs office and increased activity in entrepreneurial and small business development in response to what is being called the 'great resignation' by some, the 'great reset' by others and the 'great weset' by some.
A new kind of business model is still in flux and Kevin predicts the increase in hybrid work situations that will offer the greatest challenges in the near future. He feels in any situation that good leaders will empower their people by example and through support. What are your thoughts?
What do you want to create that others, perhaps even you, think too challenging to accomplish?

One World in a New World with Claudia Noriega Bernstein - Author, Coach, Speaker
As we begin to explore the usual dive into early awareness and self-reflections, Claudia reveals knowing she was different, she just wanted to hide it; wanting to 'fit in' and not stand out. Little by little, she learned to accept those differences and opt for a feeling of belonging instead.
Do you try to 'shrink to fit' in some perceived category the world has shaped for us? Claudia's reflection of observing this in herself on her own journey may find deep resonance with your own.
Zen shares a brief moment in his journey of how he was taught about the difference in the size of the aura, measurable through a certain technique, and the exponential difference between that if being in the past or future compared to that of being in the present. You'll find it fascinating, too.
Exploring the notion of boundaries, Claudia explains that boundaries aren't about teaching people how to behave, they are to protect oneself. She shares some tasty tidbits as she reflects on her life.
Claudia goes on to reveal that learning about herself often came through uncomfortable events and situations with others. How often have you felt like victim, only to learn that you simply made poor choices? Claudia shares some keen observations that are real gems.
How often do you journal? The conversation dips into the common waters of self-reflection. We become our own mentor or teacher and/or nemesis in the process. Claudia mentions her husband and being able to tell when he isn't journaling. Why might that be? Listen in for some insight.
How do you deal with the battle in your head between experience and opinion? Are things coincidental or with reason? Our conversation is flavored with such ponderings.
Enjoy our journey shared and thank you for showing up.

One World in a New World with Joseph Carrabis - Author, Philosopher
This apocalyptic chat reveals a much more challenging start in life than most. Joseph shares he was blind at birth and has only been able to 'see' for about 2/3 of his life now. It took many surgeries and, over time, he was able to see. Can you imagine the appreciation he has for being able to see?
What if you were deemed 'retarded' and you parents wanted to institutionalize you as a result of misdiagnosis? Zen can certainly relate to that one, too. Can you? You'll be fascinated by the story of Joseph's journey and his early introduction to the 'mystery schools' of knowledge and wisdom. The wisdom shared by his grandfather is ageless. Pay attention, please. It could change your life.
What small gesture toward another in compassion or kindness have you made today? Joseph reiterates what most know in that one small gesture like that can change the course of someone's life, perhaps even your own. He speaks about indigenous wisdom, referring to the Hopi. What he shares will make so much sense, you've just got to hear it.
Joseph shares a story about Art Linkletter that strikes a blow to the perception most had of him. Do you keep score of your life and the lives of others, or do you find solace within and not be concerned? How does that awareness relate to your relationships and the outer world?
We enjoy a moment about music, piano, and the advantages of having musicality in developing style. Learning the basics of anything is important, allowing one to expand their repertoire. As the work continues, so does the development of self-awareness. Joseph states that whatever is inside of us will eventually come out, perhaps an unfolding of a perfected form, fit and function in the world.
Alas, you're going to enjoy the lines about lines, a couple of old guys chatting about life, reality and how we might enjoy our fit better. If you wonder about the spider's web, you'll be delighted to hear about the story behind the artwork and of the wolf next to it, though you'll have to follow the conversation to find out.

One World in a New World with Victor Acquista, MD - Author, Speaker, Creator, Host
This multidiscipline and multidimensional conversation explores science and spirituality in ways you may never have experienced prior, yet will sense the resonance of its sound wisdom shared.
Victor begins by relating to a conversation he had with his mother in junior high. He mentions reading Krishnamurti and Kahlil Gibran and even Ouspensky and those perhaps being familiar to our audience. He had questions about time and free will as a result.
Victor reflects on the Buddhist notion of finding your song and singing it. What is your song and are you singing it? Do you have 'training bias' in your profession?
His breadth of scope in the allopathic and alternative healing modalities is obvious as he shares his journey to understanding the larger scope of health and well-being. It is well worth your attention and exploration as well. He offers many references to materials you can research as well. Do we really need validation from others to do what we can do if it works?
Victor's walks us through his own process of how he became more self-aware and his reflection on how the process unfolded and wisdom garnered is well expressed with empathic resonance for many. He shares a declaration of world citizenship you'll find refreshing and transformative, noting the humility from which it came.
He offers greater understanding for others in exploring the Blue Zones Project for community building. Noting his time at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Victor shares that he feels it's more important to have a direct experience rather than acquiring knowledge.
Zen brings up a previous interview with Dr. Ervin Laszlo (https://youtu.be/NDYZl-fnGWI) regarding the Higher Self and the physical embodiment of the prevailing consciousness. There is a great discussion about the oneness of being going through various vibrational levels.
What is your relationship with the expanding notion of love in your life?
Are you comfortable with 'not knowing' anything?
Can we really ascend at the speed of surrender?

One World in a New World with Julie Kratz - Author & Chief Engagement Officer, Next Pivot Point
At 8, Julie heard a riddle that presented a stark difference in what she considered to be normal. She speaks to how her home life affected her world view and started her quest toward diversity and inclusion activities.
How cognizant are we of what is happening around us? How do we process the self-awareness of developing the 'radar' Julie speaks of in the growth and understanding of life. How much of your language do you 'genderize' in your conversations? Can you change it to be inclusive?
How often do you pay attention to your language? Are you observant and able to monitor the pre-thinking of what you are about to say? Do you hit the pause button first? Are you aware of the micro-expressions Julie mentions? The blame and shame game is still prevalent. How do we change that?
Julie posits we still live largely in a competitive framework that holds a scarcity mindset. How might we change that to a thriving mind flow instead? What are the micro-expressions that bind us, still?
Is it surprising that the rate of burnout is so high with people who work in the diversity and inclusion fields? How can the 'freshness' of the excitement in service be retained? Julie mentions there is nothing innate in our biology that we are in any way 'against' each other, yet our society promotes a different message. How do we unlearn what we've been taught?
We dip into talking about history. It's obvious today that history is incorrect, or at least marginalized to a great extent. Victors and the wealthy controllers of the media flow in its myriad forms still write history. Even doing our own research may not be enough, though it does bring questions about the truth of it.
How might we see things differently in life in order to provide a more positive impact for ourselves and others? Julie feels engaging young people in the conversation is more important today, not to diminish the importance of older others. The hard-wiring of of our brains is still malleable in younger generations as well.
There's much more valuable information shared in this apocalyptic chat. It's all about the questions we ask and the conversations we have that make a difference in the world, one at a time.

Zen's Story....
Stubbing My T.O.E. on Purpose: https://amzn.to/3AcnzfW
One World in a New World with Lion Goodman - Founder, CEO of Clear Beliefs Institute
Lion's journey is quite unique, exploring ESP and reincarnation in junior high and psychology in high school, trying to figure out 'who we are.' Inquisitive minds dive deep into the nature of reality, our beliefs about life and how grow into mature adults with sensitivity and wisdom.
Lion speaks of an early mentor/teacher who taught him about inquiry. What is the nature of human nature? What is the nature of human motivation? What is the nature of life and why are we here? Have you considered these questions and explored them further? What have you found?
Insights from Lion's recollection were about study; anything we study, we study about ourselves in relationship to it and the world through that lens. Do we consider that insight and the subtle, yet profound, impact on our lives through the unfolding of our relationships to life, self and others?
The conversation seems almost scripted in the question, answer and discussion process. We use pattern recognition for establishing our behavior and beliefs in life. Patterns for survival are behavioral, experiential. The challenge is the clear old patterns that aren't useful as we mature.
How does this kind of awareness, pattern recognition and more, reflect in the development of your character, personality and the life you've chosen to live? Can it change if necessary or are you locked into a secure place and immobile?
Lion shares a really interesting story about another gentleman he met and spent time under his tutelage. The early meeting and eventual reconnection experience is replete with a pattern some are gifted in being able to experience. Listen in for the sub-zero story.
Do you have to get shot in the head multiple times to wake up? The last question actually happened to Lion, and obviously he survived. How did he create the scenario for it to happen. Listen in to the story and much, much more in this apocalyptic chat that will truly tickle the tendrils in your brain.
These kinds of conversations are invaluable as we progress in our collective evolutionary process and re-imagine the possibilities that are right in front of us. Thanks in advance.

One World in a New World with Victor Vorski - Imagineer, Regenerative Real Estate Producer
As a preface to our in-depth conversation we clarify what 'regenerative' means in the efforts of people desiring to co-create community around the concept. He quotes Jenny Anderson, "Regeneration is about healing the story of separation between men and nature and men and men." Are we really separate? What evidence might you cite?
Victor talks about being passionate about questions; exploring them allowing divergent perspectives in conversation regarding the question. Curiosity opens participants to creativity and exploration in more psychologically safe and intellectually humble environments as a result. His perspective on questions is quite valuable.
Reflecting his youth, he shares he didn't quite have as dramatic an awakening as Zen. His was a bit slower, spending time in nature with his grandmother talking walks in the forest. It developed his appreciating and early fascination with nature and a sense of deeper connection with life. His reflection on living in Poland as a boy, and a realization he had, speaks to early self-awareness.
Further in the conversation, and in sharp contrast, he asserts that things are possibly much different than some great cabal reaping rewards while others are miserable. His perspective is eye-opening. How do we develop good or better questions? What are the problems we are trying to solve? How do we have integrative conversations across differences?
Victor speaks about the development of villages, which is his passion, and the research that lead him to studying education. Peter Graves caught his attention regarding his findings on 'free play' with children. What he shares speaks to the nature of anarchy, self-rule, and that it leads to more natural order of agreement on the rules of their engagement.
Speaking to the expansion of opportunity within the 'global village' Victor shares that Live and Let Live Foundation is an example of a small organization being global through the access and availability of the Internet. It's organic growth is magnified by accessibility. He shares the Internet is becoming the neural network of the global brain.
In closing, he shares a profound piece of advice for living today. He nearly died twice, once from a bleeding ulcer and once from a stroke. His advice is priceless and timely for today.

Zen's Story....
Stubbing My T.O.E. on Purpose: https://amzn.to/3AcnzfW
One World in a New World with Perry Knoppert - Founder & CEO, The Octopus Movement - Multipotentialite
Asked how and where his journey inside he relates that a teacher told his father he couldn't read him. He was kind of proud of that, as was his father. It took him many years to overcome the labels and enjoy his weirdness. Listen in to the journey.
His story about trying to find the balance between being cool or being weird, accepted or outcast, he shares a great reflection with examples. He felt lost between the inner drive to just be who he was and the outer conditions and the desire to fit in. Diversity cannot be simplified; it's diversity.
We all have events that trigger our rise from the shadows of our life. Perry is no different and his sharing of his journey will certainly sound familiar to some, perhaps in your own trip. Others will certainly be inspired by the authenticity of how he describes his 'LSD' trip. That ought to make you curious.
Perry makes the distinction between a mycelium network vs a community. Why? His description of the difference and the advantages of the network is enlightening, perhaps apocalyptic. He believes there are many non-linear thinkers who see things from multiple angles and can converse about them in psychological safety and intellectual humility.
Perry mentions the interesting perspective of he and Zen being biologically connected through the internet... fiber optic cable stretched across the ocean and transmitting 0s and 1s that bring us face to face from afar, sharing a common space between us. Now that is magic, eh? No longer. Imagine what other magic might be understood through critical thinking and non-linear activity across the world.
Asked how he sees the evolution of linear and non-linear thinkers learning to get along, he starts with expectations, both of self and others. What would happen if we learned how to bridge the gap and supported a natural process through deeper conversations and reflection?
Perry also shares that he's found that when people are a bit fearless, their curiosity diminishes. How can you increase your curiosity about life, about you, about living fully and a better world?
Parting wisdom... tune in and listen. You'll love it.

Zen's One-Sheet: https://bit.ly/zen-one-sheet
One World in a New World with Sunny Job - Fear Elimination Ninja
Sunny speaks of growing up in the slums of Mumbai and admits the connection to the divine was through guilt, feeling guilty about his identity as a human because we are 'born into sin.'
He relates a profoundly connected experience he had at 15, less than 24 hours before his family was to be evicted from their home, with no where to go. You'll be warmed by the story.
Noting his professional history as a training manager for over 3,000, we peer into how he brought his insight and awareness of his own inner connection to his work. Sunny's reflection of how and what happened is keenly insightful and offers more evidence of a divinely orchestrated series of events.
Moving on to discussing how the connection to 'Self' (non-local mind/infinite intelligence), both share instances where the ego steps aside and a stream of consciousness flows in the words spoken or written.
Sunny speaks of 'not thinking' being the key to opening the door to that kind of experience. You'll hear a great explanation of the process that might be useful to you.
When we find ourselves in a space where we feel left out, totally disconnected, we tend to rebound and go the other direction, feeling so connected we're often unable to be practical and pragmatic. Sunny notes his own process and the gradually balancing in the middle place, realizing he didn't need to know the whole route, only that he was on it.
Have you ever thought about something strongly, like a book, and it shows up the next day, or within a few days? Would you recognize the connection? What if it took longer, perhaps years, would you make the connection immediately, or in hindsight years later?
Sunny shares another shift in his life, exploring books and courses, and something came as a complete surprise at the time.
How do you face your fears? Sunny learned from experience that there was a way to confront his fears, literally in the darkness. His inquiry was toward exploring the dark and just seeing what was lurking, if anything.
He found out by the experience that there was nothing, only what might have been his projections had he chose to be fearful. He mentions that, to him, a belief is a decision to stop exploring. Have you stopped exploring? We hope you view this gem and subscribe.

One World in a New World with Stephan A Schwartz - Scientist, Futurist, Author
Stephan has a rich history with parapsychology, exploring consciousness and looking into the future. It is especially pertinent now, and you'll enjoy the perspectives he offers in our conversation that covers a lot of territory in a short amount of time.
We start off with a bit of a challenge with the bandwidth, so you get to look at Zen for a bit while we get into the educational content. Stephan begins with a discomforting experience of talking to himself in the mirror at a party. Mirror, mirror... nope, different story. It was just the opposite. He shares a story that may be all too familiar.
A short while later, a couple showed up with some really strange questions about reincarnation that eventually led him to the Edgar Cayce Foundation and the Association for Research and Enlightenment. The story is truly fascinating and will no doubt raise some eyebrows as well as confirm suspicions. How did it happen?
His research led him to exploring parapsychology and what is now known as 'remote viewing.' Unpacking the kinds of experiences that he had from his studies in consciousness, he refers to Max Planck's work and a quote from him, 'Consciousness is causal and fundamental.'
Pay attention to what he reveals in addressing his perspective on the topic and how his first experiments with remote viewing proved worthy of further study. We don't think about these kinds of things too often, yet have you ever tried to 'visualize' where you might have left something?
Stephan has combined experimentation with a well-researched and documented process. Moving from his personal experience to referencing the potentials of consciousness, he shares a few stories from others in history who've applied the 'psycho-spiritual' technology of the nature of 'beingness.' Did the British leave India by force or by choice?
Zen asks a few poignant questions about the possibilities for peace in the world and truncating the timeframe to do so being possible, based on the data and research Stephan has shared. His answer is also poignant. You've got to listen in for more.
We discuss various scenarios of the future and how the use of 'future knowing' in spite of the trends and the potential of 'other' influences. The conversation gets quite interesting from a cultural anthropology point of view. Is there another hominid change on the way?
Thanks for tuning in and share your thoughts below, please.

One World in a New World with George J. Chanos - Author, Speaker, Futurist
As a former Attorney General for Nevada, George's introduction and highlights seem cursory for the depth of discussion that ensues. You'll have a grand journey with this conversation. As a futurist, his insights are very real and cognizant of current conditions.
George relates his first event that spoke to him deeply was President Kennedy's assassination. It was a crucial moment for many. He admits that perhaps he isn't as introspective as the host, yet because of the experience he came to want to be president someday. George presents that deep down we all want to have a meaningful life. Would you agree?
Would you be corruptible for enough money? George relates that after another event at 20 years of age that sent him another direction; being on the elevator with the ABSCAM co-conspirators as they were on their way to resign in disgrace. He knew he had to be bulletproof, metaphorically. What would you do or have you done to be bulletproof?
How do you prepare for the future? How do you prepare your children for the future? George has some pertinent insights as to how he found direction in doing so after his heart attack and writing a book that essentially 'downloaded' his knowledge, as something for his daughter to have and know.
George mentions Sheryl Sandberg's quote, "We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change." He speaks to the coming changes as we move toward the technological singularity.
Georges goes on to mention 'Ogilvy on Advertising.' He specifically notes the 'helicopter perspective' as being essential in his problem-solving work, which was his special sauce for hire for many years.
What is on your horizon? What do you see in our collective future? How are you preparing for a future that you want to create or live? What kinds of decisions are you making? Are you looking beyond the horizon? How far inside are you looking? How far outside are you looking?
How are we addressing the challenges we face collectively? Change is coming and adaptability is key. There's more... tune in. Lots of details that promote deliberation inside.

One World in a New World with Jeannette Meier - Founder, Positive Impact Movement
Jeannette is quite the global citizen in her travels, though she turned tragedy into triumph early as her father passed from this world when she was 15. Even then she said goodbye to the sky rather than his body in front of her. It was a year later she had her first spiritually transformative experience.
Our discussion of multiple perspectives of sensory perspectives she had during her experience and the learning that unfolded may sound familiar. We often lose ourselves before finding ourselves. Her life became one of listening and paying attention, which led her to Barcelona.
Zen reflects a bit and then inquires of how Jeannette found her way to Barcelona, the events (both inner and outer) that set it up. Her sharing of the journey, from both perspectives, is quite insightful and offers much to consider in your own reflection.
Jeannette lives and works in a place of acknowledging co-creation, across her professional and personal endeavors. She leads technology teams and founded Positive Impact Movement to support work and play at a different level in life. She still went through her own eye of the needle that is worth investigating with a clear and present awareness of an evolving process.
You'll enjoy the discussion that evolves about socially conscious entrepreneurship and socially conscious leadership. Sometimes both work together well, sometimes not. Learning about both does allow for a cohesion of activity in organizations toward greater functionality and impact.
In finding our way through this co-creative conversation, there are many apocalyptic moments and tasty tidbits of sense making that you probably wouldn't hear elsewhere. The chat moves into peering into the nature and process of evolving a society. Discussing specifics, regarding a philosophy that promotes building community, locally and globally.
The conversation is full of ancient wisdom brought forward to current applications and experience that opens doors to a fuller expression of life and fulfillment. You won't want to miss any of it.

One World in a New World with Tony Michaelides - Author, Keynote Speaker, Music Industry Executive
Diving into the depths with Tony started off with the recognition that when you're dealing with the band mates (U2, Bowie and others just starting out), radio and record label executives... it's like a rollercoaster ride. You'll love the stories he shares from the perspective of being there.
Asked about coincidence, synchronicities and serendipitous moments and how life reflects our connection to it, he unabashedly offers graciousness and humility in the conversations and interactions just seemed to be the natural extension of what he'd learn young.
Tony speaks about watching David Bowie while he was working with him on the road and the graciousness and humility he had. The details are worth checking out. It's a real behind-the-scenes story.
Have you been in a position in your life where everything seems to be falling apart around you, yet you've done nothing wrong? Tony's sharing of how that caused his own re-direction and restructuring through competition and new technology.
He makes distinctions between the 70s and musicians making statements that weren't censored and now that same kind of activity gets your act pulled. He says he's not a business man, per se, yet his expertise parallels the best. You'll enjoy the examples.
Younger generations, and even older ones, would be wise to listen in to the ways we can achieve success and enjoy what we're doing at the same time. That is often not the case.
He shares examples of having zest and desire, passion and purpose, cooperation and collaboration, creativity and innovation. We talk about attitude being more important than skillset and dive into various comparisons between a real-world learning and going to school. Life is its own school.
We finally arrive at talking about how musicians are affected by listening, learning, and exploring each other and becoming a better musician through the activity of jamming with others who wanted to be their best as well.
You'll find listening in and joining our journey will enrich your life in some way.

One World in a New World with Neo Davila - aka Neo Positivity - Founder, "Thoughts Become Things"
We take the deep dive regarding Neo's recognition of his inner connection to find out he'd been that way his entire life, only realizing later that he was a bit different than others. Seeing things differently often makes one feel isolated, even alone. It was a happy isolation for him. Listen in to find out why.
For him, to see others, especially his family and friends, to not be on the same page, in his terms, 'just sucks.' He says discovering the Law of Attraction allowed him to put all the pieces of his existing playbook together. What were those pieces?
"Who am I?" "What am I?" "What can I do?" "Where can I go?" "Who can I meet along the way?" Neo says he doesn't think people ask those kinds of questions of themselves. He feels that even if they do, they may not see a lot of purpose in the answers.
Regarding the process from Neo's perspective, acknowledging the 'one people, one planet' perspective, he offers we can't really get started because someone is always stirring the pot. Neo mentions George Floyd as an example.
Zen asks, 'How do you respond to situations like that in such a way that we can have a better outcome?' You'll love his answer. It is absolutely profound. He was an undercover cop in Camden, New Jersey, with a different view from life experience.
Are people the same everywhere? We'd like to think so, perhaps, depending on the experiences we have in our local communities. Neo made a move several years ago and his comments about it are very telling, with some insight for our audience as well.
Late in the conversation we broach some unusual and sometimes disconcerting subjects and experiences that sprinkle our lives that we don't often talk about with others, let along in a podcast. It will certainly give you a chance to explore your own beliefs, perception and understanding of life and others.
We live in amazing times during a profoundly prophetic period. What are your thoughts about progress?
Thanks for tuning in and please do comment, subscribe and share us with friends. You can have conversations without having to be the focal point and risk rejection.

One World in a New World with Michael Vukelic - Author, Mindset Master
This is truly an apocalyptic chat about our reality that's jam-packed with deep understanding, full of shared-wisdom worthy of your attention.
Michael references a traumatic childhood that inspired him to ask questions about life, especially why some succeeded and others didn't. Many years later, as an engineer in the aerospace industry, his work with metallurgy led him to some insightful realizations.
Michael recounts that he felt there was always something to learn, that there was always a special gift. He shares that in the early ego days, it was all about the money because he grew up poor. He relates a heart-wrenching story no parent wants to face.
He relates he'd had enough of being 'controlled' by a company, job and unfulfilling work, even though it paid well and had great benefits. Our exchange about change, being inspired from within is very insightful for navigating life and realizing your dreams.
Then we launch into the deep stuff, chatting creating new neuropathways to divine intelligence. The stream of consciousness that ensues between us is replete with ancient awareness, that in order to ascend from circumstances, the pain of suffering initiates a quest for freedom. Michael's explanation of how he took choice to the new levels might reflect your own views.
The two of us continue sharing stories and understanding that incorporates some eloquent examples of how this awareness allowed each of us to live more connected and open to flow. Our conversation triggered one of his memories, a visitation from his mother in the middle of the day, a few days after his mother's death. His experience was profound and you'll enjoy his story.
How do you open to this kind of life? Michael admits, the key is in the listening (to the video). This is a great conversation for the seeker of change or realigning your life with more joy. Michael's title of 'Mindset Master' becomes evident in our deepening of this conversation to sharing very intimate levels of self-awareness.
If you like 'heady' stuff, you'll love this apocalyptic chat. Thanks for your patronage. We'd love your comments, subscription and/or sharing, too.

One World in a New World with Don Schmincke - Author, Explorer, Scientist, Advisor
Don's exploration of life and the world is more than normal for most, teaching at top-tier universities and working with major corporations training over 15,000 CEOs. This conversation will invigorate your awareness of what we are capable of doing and the write up just can't cover the depth of the exploration we embark upon.
Queried about his first noticing a difference between the outside world and an inner experience, he referenced his mother putting him in touch with a organization, called ARE (Association for Research and Enlightenment) that studied and supported such activity around the world.
His story of self-assessment and of his situation perhaps offers similar experiences to those who decide to make adjustments and engage further education for future financial stability. He shares a trek through various subjects you'll enjoy.
The path he took is worth the listen as it spans higher learning and teaching at some prestigious universities. He came across an ancient Samurai training program that caught his interest and converted it to usefulness in the corporate sector.
Asked about what resonated with him to express in the practical sense, he took a team approach in that regard, stating he was blessed by being connected with a lot of brilliant people. Anthropology, evolutionary genetics and the new realm of evolutionary psychology gave him the basis and insights in looking at our species and how we have evolved, then using that to help corporations excel.
Don's sharing is ever-so-rare in the candor and honesty of how he's garnered the wisdom and ability to apply it with phenomenal results. He traveled the world to study various cultures. Just his brief stories about some of his travels are truly fascinating and informative beyond any textbook learning.
He shares a generous portion of knowledge with a side of humor. You'll enjoy the time listening. Thanks for tuning in and may this chat, as well as others, offer new insights and observations of life that assists your own growth and understanding of living life larger.

One World in a New World with John McDonald - Libertarian Yogi, Spiritual Teacher
John relating as a young boy he felt in this world but not of it, jumping in with answering the proverbial question of when he first noticed his inner connection. Much later in life, with a crazy CV and stellar corporate success, everything plummeted into destitute homelessness. A slow ascent back into life came afterward. We explore the insights and wisdom garnered along the way.
Speaking as a recovering alcoholic, 'hard core' in his words. He admits that he had to be drug into the personal inner journey kicking and screaming, though he eventually acquiesced to the process. He shares that the corporate climb and working with management by objective Western-oriented companies seemed like that was what he was supposed to do. How did that fail him? Listen in.
He offers an interesting perspective in acknowledging that folks might ask, "Just who do you think your are to call yourself a spiritual teacher?" His response is quite illustrative of the dedication it takes to even consider the title, let alone its activity.
We often miss the benefits of wisdom acquired through trials and tribulations, devoted practice and spiritual understanding that our geriatrically gifted population carries, just waiting hopefully for someone to ask them questions about what matters most in life to them. John's life is not uncommon, though it is uncommon to be able to examine the fruits of them.
We have a brief conversation about the Live and Let Live Movement, which he says 'got him' as soon as he saw it. Living life free of aggression and as a good human is good for humanity. Zen's mention of being able to have deep conversations that delve into issues with psychological safety and intellectual humility, which prompts John's response, "Isn't there such beauty in the capacity to agree to differ?"
We all evolve in understanding each other as a result, and with less resistance to the other, it give the opportunity for opinions to change because of thoughtful engagement and an openness toward questioning our own position. If we are indeed reflections of each other, we can be peaceful in our conversations that help us learn to work together better toward common goals that benefit all.

One World in a New World with Gloria Sanchez - Coach, Enneagram Specialist
We journey overseas to encounter another who has a very interesting story about her exploration into reality and what it means to be a human. Suffering and tragedy has seasoned her life journey with liberation, transcending the suffering to find peace and joy.
Gloria shares her inner dialog with self, "Gloria, you are looking, looking and looking. Maybe you are looking in the wrong place?" Have you ever felt that way. Make sure to listen in intently. There are many moments of salience, along with her 'wake up call.' It left here with the sense of 'having to become alive.'
Gloria's story is quite impactful and informative for us all, shared in very comfortable and inviting conversation. She states that in her understanding we are Divine Beings living in a material world, figuring out how to BE. We are prepared to survive, though not necessarily to know the truth. We need to transcend survival.
Her reference the enneagram offer the investigator their options for transcendence, more over their needs for transcendence it the key within their number, according to the enneagram information. She references a conversation Zen had in the 1990s, going beyond self to explore possibilities.
Our conversation heads off into discussing the enneagram framework, so if you aren't familiar with it you'll garner a greater understanding of the system of thought it provides. We all need good mirrors to reflect our reality more clearly, more intimately and in a more purposeful fashion, right? What kind of masks do we wear to hide from ourselves?
Gloria's rich knowledge of the enneagram and the intimacy of the challenges for transcendence within each numerical framework is exquisite and certainly informative. She relates the process of transcendence she experienced that is immensely insightful for you, perhaps. You can't just gloss over this description, it's best viewing and digesting the tasty tidbits of transcendence, especially as we get into the 'do do' example.
How do we step out of the doodoo? Gloria has some solutions for that as a non-linear thinking creative. Just listen or watch. You'll be glad you did. Please subscribe, too. Thanks in advance.

One World in a New World with Michaell Magrutsche - Author, Multimedia Artist
"My main goal in life is to find more of myself. This is what I apply in every part of my life, especially in all my artistic expressions. I found art is the most effective tool to achieve this. I live my life to be the best me that I can be in ever." ~ MM
Michaell grew up on the streets of Vienna, with challenges of dyslexia and stuttering, so his view of life was imbued by curiosity yet skewed by how he was seen by others. He shares that he was lucky in that he didn't tune out, turn to abusive behaviors, and fall prey to the sense of being 'less than.' Our conversation dives into the exploration of creativity. It's another story worthy of your attention.
He explored many things as he 'knocked on various doors' in seeking a career and profession, and art serendipitously opened the door. He admits it took him 35 years to actually recognize he was an artist. He'd been an artist all along, though he hadn't truly 'owned it' until he realized it didn't matter whether his art was accepted by society or not.
Michaell speaks to the tactile nature of humans. We like to tinker, we like to touch things and the artistic and creative side is activated by such activity as well. He says the sad thing is that business people and leaders don't think of themselves as being creative or being an artist in their work. Zen acknowledges that we are all creative in some way, we just don't see ourselves as such.
The 'prescriptive system' that tends to manipulate populations, especially in this last period, where we went from a reasonable global economy and being able to move around the planet to suddenly being told we need to be afraid of each other. The obsession on self-hygiene and sequestration opened to the door for people to find that creative side, perhaps because that was one of the few options available. Zen's description of the silver lining of the pandemic is quite insightful.
Further in the conversation, Michaell shares a pretty clear view of humanity's condition and the challenges we face as a global society. He shares our systems are limited because of the few who actually management them and creativity is, or has been, a distant thought if it is considered at all. Now we've turned to 'politically correct' endeavors because we don't really know each other, what truth is or that we're being distracted by shiny objects rather than the value of humanity.
Curiosity is tantamount to recognizing the artistry in humanity and in nature. Michaell shares more on the subject that, perhaps with your own curiosity piqued, you'll find great insights and reflections for how you might shift your perspective. He repeats often, 'It's all about perspective.'

One World in a New World with Alex Moses - Author, Coach, Entrepreneur, Venture Capitalist, Founder of Life of Love
Alex began his entrepreneurial life as a teen on the streets of Italy, a refugee from Ukraine. He started washing windows to make money and his solo actions attracted another, then another and within a month he had 30 people working for him.
Zen often points toward attention, intention and interaction being the core features of creating the life you want. This is a perfect example. When queried on the inner reflections he was having at the time he says he just 'loved it' along with the community of people that emerged because of it. Can you say that about your business and community around it?
One thing he did notice was the sense of humility it brought; a seventeen year-old supporting those much older, along with their families. What can we learn from this?
Alex notes that our learning process occurs mostly from the mistakes or poor choices we make. Success doesn't often teach us much, it's the process that does, the 'journey' as it is known. How do we capitalize on that process? Can there be simple precepts that make the complexity less complicated? How do we simply?
Alex unpacks the genius of a pioneer from early last century that you'll enjoy. You might even learn something about how the complexity can be made simple in order to find success. One simple thing: Do something others aren't willing to do. How do we address the fears?
Courage is fear that has said its prayers. How do we find the safety in moving through the fears? Carnegie and Ziglar were both early proponents of helping others and build empires on its value.
Doubt kills more dreams than failures ever will.
How do we bring 'love' back into conversations that matter in a pleasant disruption? In Alex's world, he sees love as the absence of fear, to the ability to move in any direction is easy in love. Choosing to BE in that 'love' mind flow or state of being is the key. We invite you there, now.
How can we not only sustain that, and grow it into a common understanding and living awareness? Alex's work as a coach and the success of his clients is a practical and tangible result. Perhaps the former will be soon, too.
Listen in to a simple and profound conversation that offers many other insights.

One World in a New World with Dr. Ervin Laszlo
2x Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Author on Higher Self & Quantum Consciousness, Systems Theorist
This apocalyptic chat will dive into one of the world's greatest minds, offering insight and understanding of a new world emerging in the consciousness of humanity. Rarely does this opportunity present itself as an interactive inquiry into the Higher Self, quantum consciousness, systems theory and revolutionary science.
Dr. Ervin LĂĄszlĂł is a Hungarian philosopher of science, systems theorist, integral theorist, originally a classical pianist. He is an advocate of the theory of quantum consciousness. He recently celebrated his 90th birthday.
Dr. Laszlo offers that being a concert pianist was an experience of playing music that allowed him to move past the everyday consciousness as well as for others. It is a very dynamic and specific kind of experience, jointly moving past the everyday consciousness into some other realm.
He states he has never accepted that we are just quantum particles moving around, that our brain is just a machine generating responses to stimuli. Many scientists, he states, such as Einstein, suggest that matter doesn't exist in the universe.
Dr. Laszlo further explores the nature of man, of mind, of consciousness and how it works in harmony with the Higher Self, that which is in touch and perhaps even embodying that greater knowing of self, of others and of the world today. His comments are exquisite.
Zen inquires of the potential correlations of various models of consciousness and quantum theories and the aspect of understanding the Higher Self's activity. The references are dynamic and potentially enlightening as well.
Where are we headed? What is our collective or individual purpose on Earth, let alone in the cosmos of consciousness? Our continued conversation will take you into the depths and exploration of what Zen calls the GOD Participle... BEing.
In these times, under the current circumstances, we need a way out or up into a new living awareness and understanding of who and what we are naturally, without human constructs.

One World in a New World with Arnaud Saint-Paul - Author, Harmonist, Philanthropist
Diving into the question of when he first found his inner connection, Arnaud responds that he must have retained some of his consciousness prior to coming into this world. Peering a bit deeper, he shares that consciousness is, it is all that is around us and in us at the same time. It is undefined and limitless and then it becomes the 'I.'
He goes further into a deeper concept that echoes ancient philosophies, and you'll garner insights in listening to how Arnaud unpacks his understanding for us. Then he returns to sharing his first awareness of the question, "Who am I?' at 13 and his initial dive internally and then into various texts.
"How is it to live from the heart, instead of the mind?" became one of his deep queries. His iteration of the process is worth a listen. You won't want to miss out on the marvel that awaits.
Zen sets Arnaud up by introducing various models of consciousness and how they seem to correlate a multidimensional reality, then asks about making it all practical. He shares his experience of the practical aspects of living from the heart and also having a good life, by example.
Getting down to the nitty gritty and applying this awareness within a group or organization, Arnaud shares how a group of 60 change-makers took a trip down the Nile with the purpose harmony and coherence to the group. Individuals and the group indeed grew toward coherence. He shares how it happened, issues that came up and methods used to set it up and facilitate coherence.
You'll want to listen in to the project that was the center of the effort toward coherence. The 'pitch' was for $6 million in funding to begin a revolutionary IOT. You'll be awe struck at what really happened, which may offer insights for your own life-changing endeavors.
He shares, after being asked how we may garner understanding, that it's not about understanding necessarily. It's about being guided from within and trusting the process. There's plenty more tasty tidbits as we continue that deserve your attention, too. Enjoy the journey.

One World in a New World with Stephen Karbaron - Consultant, Speaker, Visionary
Stephen's life was filled with serendipitous synchronicities, from his early Cub Scout days to being sponsored by Ray Ban for a 13-city tour in Russia as DJ, to personal development events featuring Anthony Robbins to developing a conscious leadership development organization in Spain and working with Conscious Enterprise Network.
You'll enjoy the dive into the realms of his experience. In an initial tasty tidbit, he notes that in every leadership role he's had that he just wanted people to have fun around him. He spoke of government grants that were available when he was in college for creating fun events. It led to the awareness of peace including being happy and having fun.
How does that happen in business and society? Listen to how Stephen shares his wisdom, including mentioning the 'First Follower' video from Simon Sinek.
Both married Russian women, experiencing and learning a much different story than Western-themed history. His story about his experience in Russia is worth exploring for insight and understanding while having what he calls a very 'surreal' experience.
Zen asks if there were any conversations that were highly impactful to both him and others. He talks about his beginnings in the Rave scene in England in the 1990s. His illustration is quite interesting, as well as unexpected, including mind-altering drugs and a football team's involvement.
"Peace is really what we all want," Stephen says, and continues to offer references to many types of experiences and situations where both people and government at the time were in a state of agreement. Imagine that today. He goes on to say, "you can't blame everyone else and be responsible for your life and whatever is going on in it." It's a paradox that just isn't possible.
What kinds of questions did he ask of himself and of life that led him toward greater understanding and peace. He shares a series of questions and expounds upon the reasons as well as the transformation he experienced with them. You've got to hear them as they may just help you ask better questions, too.
This conversation has great value on multiple levels as you will no doubt experience. Thanks in advance for listening and may your life be enhanced by doing so.

One World in a New World with Jeff Cohen - Author of Count-On-Able: A Practical Guide to Lift, Shift and Empower You and Your Team
With over 20 years as an Entrepreneur, Management Consultant & Business Coach Jeff is a highly effective business and turnaround strategist. He shares his father was the greatest influence in sharing the notion that he could do anything that he wanted. He didn't care what, only that he and his sister had the awareness of being able to do anything.
What would have changed in your life with that kind of permission and support?
Jeff shares he's had a lot of failures and successes, yet finds the ability to be vulnerable in his openness to being asked any questions. Nothing is off-limits. Are you able to do that? Why or why not?
What kinds of triggers do we have, or do you have? How did you find them and what disturbances have they caused in your life? Jeff and Zen experienced divorce and estrangement from their children for a time because of their own processes. Jeff shares what it was like to build a software company from 0 to 15 employees in a couple of years. The story is fascinating and shocking.
What kind of connotation does 'accountable' have in your mind? Is it negative or positive? How do we promote accountability without the negative side of the perception? Jeff offers some solutions that have come from decades of achievements, failures and learning how to facilitate people, places and things to work together better.
When you are onboarding, how do you create effective representations of accountability, expectations, responsibilities and performance? He recognizes those things do change over time and will need conversations to re-define the latter appropriately.
The DISC assessment comes up in conversation and the value it has for determining the communication and problem-solving preferences; matching employees and managers with the most compatibility and complementary indicators. He shares more insights, which you'll find valuable.
Our conversation moves into the notion of 'agile' business development, which is Jeff's forte and his wisdom for the present and future business development deserves your attention. You won't get that from these show notes. Please, dive in and explore the opportunity to garner knowledge.

One World in a New World with Brenden Kumarasamy - Public Speaking Coach, Founder - MasterTalk
Early on, Brenden says he competed in sports for nerds... doing presentations competitively. When asked about his early inklings toward life, he shares that all he wanted to help his mother retire.
Acquiring what he says was his dream job after graduation and finding success, he started asking the deeper questions about life. He references Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and self-actualization, which led to the deeper questions about meaning and purpose.
He shares a quote by Scott Harrison, founder of Charity Water, 'The goal is not to live forever, rather to create something that will.'
As he explored, he found a key component of the process to be, 'How do we ask tougher questions?' Questions that we don't usually ask or get asked. He later found one of the key questions that got people to open up was, ''What are you most passionate about right now?'
What kinds of questions do we ask? What are the three to five questions we wish others would ask of us that they do not? Those questions are different for everyone, no doubt. You are essentially using those questions to filter the people we actually want to spend more time with than others.
Our conversation leads to many more places you will find insightful and interesting if you are inclined to want to grow your network and relationships in healthy ways.
How do you see or hope to see the process of growing in awareness and understanding trickling out into those you know? What are the easiest problems that we all can agree on? The buy-in would escalate, he feels. Then the more difficult ones could be addressed more effectively.
Please do view or listen to the exchange of information and wisdom from our conversation and see where it might fit into your own life, profession and relationships. Ignite your desire for what you are most passionate about in life right now.
What are your simplest problems to address? What do you think are the simplest problems in the world to address? Leave your comments below, please.

One World in a New World with D. Neil Elliot - Engineer & Author - A Higher Road
In exploring the subject material Neil offers in his book, A Higher Road, we begin with his initial experience of his inner life. His response was first to acknowledge the differentiation of the inner life the most seem to avoid discussing. Neil shares that he learned this body is not our reality, it is our soul that is the reality.
Neil shares that his grandmother shared a deeper awareness of thinking and feeling, which spilled over into his life as she was a key feature in it. Unfortunate events left his mother with the responsibility of raising six children and became a teacher to do so. He explains the process of child development and how the soul is diminished by the patterns of thinking and feeling we learn. Listen in to explore his explanation of how this happens.
He went though life initially on a career path that led to becoming an engineer, getting an MBA and eventually running projects. He talks about learning beliefs, patterns of thinking and sensing and then wanting a more inclusive view, which led him to read current day 'spiritual' books about personal development. He wanted to fundamentally shift his way of feeling and thinking. He identifies projecting into our environment rather than sensing it.
Our conversation is like a lesson in the discovery and sharing of certain principles that help us to manifest things in our life, some we may not want and some we definitely do. He shares that it is a processes of understanding electromagnetism and resonance. His reference is quite ordinary and yet quite reflective of the process. Listen in to the deeper dive into the activity.
Neil stresses that really what we need to do is re-establish our connection with the Divine and unconditional love. He has a process for that which he shares in his book and partially in our chat. He does share that there is a discipline involved in the practice of making a shift in how one feels and thinks in order to find that element of joy that the reconnection with soul provides.
Perhaps you will find some keys to a deeper experience in our conversation as well.

One World in a New World with Tonya Dawn Recla - Super Powers Expert
A few years ago Tonya interviewed Zen for Super Powers Experts podcast where she asked him what his superpower is, and without hesitation 'vulnerability' came out of his mouth. We pick up the conversation early and explore the continued learning had by both. The opening conversation speaks to the historical references to God as 'they' rather than a singular being.
Developing the 'inside out' game, as Tonya refers to it, brings into perspective one's ability to recognize that which is within us all and connect with a more consistent and powerful state of being. She speaks of learning how to turn herself inside out in the process of tuning in to the co-creative nature we've been informed of for millennia.
This conversation shows the evidence of how such understanding can be brought into a practical conversation and shared in such a way that it offers insight to viewers as well. The correlation and corroboration of internal systems, multiple dimensions of consciousness and how they are exampled in our lives brings a powerful notion to life - that we are in charge of our reality... by choice.
Later in the conversation, amidst the tasty tidbits of transcendence, Tonya mentions that we, as humans, are a bit threatened by the kind of power that we can truly wield in creating the life we want to live. For centuries we've been led to believe we are powerless without 'god,' and yet many ancient texts relate we have that co-creative capacity as a divine birthright.
The entire conversation is filled with insight and understanding as well as perspectives that help shift one's perception about self-awareness, self-actualization and self-realization. Tonya relates that the empowered individual can share their insight, help to grow a community and maintain a higher level (figuratively speaking) of vibration by living with a new sense of harmony with self, others and the world.
Explore the conversation deeper, listen to the flow and how your own insights emerge during the process. You might think it's magic as the synchronistic moments occur. There's science there, too.
Thanks in advance for viewing, liking, commenting and sharing.

One World in a New World with Clive Elliott QC - Author, Barrister, Change Agent
We start off with a rather horrific event that moved Clive deeply. You'll find out exactly what it was early in our conversation. He felt that he needed to try to find what made the world seem to be dysfunctional and to try to find the root of that. What did he find?
He researched countries that seemed to be ahead with happiness and satisfying lives, and he found Finland to be among the top. He did a sample of comparisons to discover discrepancies and similarities. He interviewed a lot of thought leaders, then wrote his book, The Power of Wellbeing.
Then we go inside and inquire of Clive's reflection from the inside looking out. An introvert by nature, he thinks and reads a lot, he felt he opened himself up to share what he found and thought, regardless of opinions of other. It felt like he exposed himself to the world, quite different from the court of law that was familiar.
How do we get in touch with our reticence and overcome it when we feel vulnerable? Clive mentions 'toxic masculinity' as a major factor in how our society has evolved. Learning how to move away from it is our challenge. He states the focus really needs to be on the environment and sustainability.
Clive goes on to speak to the point of reciprocity and the balance of activity, away from that which is aggressive toward or harmful to another. His training is to learn how to attack facts, not people. We tend to feel confronted with questions, though. How do we get beyond that?
How does he express the need for learning how to step back and reflect during perceived confrontation? He mentions context being king. Then the content can be examined more fully. Often the misunderstanding is brought to light and truth of fact emerges. Reciprocity again is what is offered and shared in practice.
Clive grew up during Apartheid in South Africa, completely oblivious because of white man's rule. He has been fascinated with the Ubuntu principle: I am because we are. The Maori people from New Zealand believe what is important is the people, the people, the people.
There's more inside, and you're invited to visit.

One World in a New World with Lexis Johnson - International Best Selling Author
It's always interesting how the subtle indicators we follow, once we've learned they are there, lead to wonderful opportunities, like conversing with such amazing people throughout my guest list.
Before long the conversation yields to relating stories about wise men and women in our lives that literally capitalize on the use of esoteric arts. Why not? The reflections from Lexis and Zen offer interesting insights as well.
Faced with hearing loss and various health issues, Lexis relates that studying alternative medicine and physical therapies. Now she includes astrology and other esoteric arts, as well as of some of the 'Clair-alls,' such as clairaudience and claircognizance, in her current practice.
Science, minus the materialism, might be discovering these abilities, too. The conversation weaves into indigenous realms and about abilities we've had that have gone into fallow. It seems the emergent moment, coming 'out of,' is stimulated from the depths of our being.
Perhaps it is a Evolutionary Upwising in a Great Weset, using our attention, intention and interaction. Lexis relates that the awareness of our focus also brings what we seek into our vision and world. We touch on the Live and Let Live Movement philosophy.
We move into the aspects of leadership needed for now and the future - empowered women and men. Lexis begins with a comment the Dalai Lama made about how the world needs a woman. We've attributed all the caring, emotional and nurturing kind of qualities to the feminine. The conversation deepens again.
Lexis admits a proclivity toward introversion for many years, yet eventually found her free agency and inner strength catapulted her into a new living awareness and a world of plenty. We're caught in the conspiracy of lack and scarcity. That ain't necessarily so.
We dive even deeper toward the end of our time, exploring and relating various challenges and ways to move through or overcome them with better choices, sense making and results. Listen in for more, especially in our closing moments, for some real gifts.

One World in a New World with Brian Kelly - Featured Author, Team Development Consultant
An apocalyptic chat that will offer many points to ponder. We start off with exploring Brian's opening debut in his coaching certification program. He found vulnerability didn't mean weak, which is the understanding he had held. Listen in to how he progressed as it may be familiar.
How do we get out of our minds and into a greater sensory capacity beyond it. We both found that the process is often very similar in any type of program, it's the individual experience and expression that varies in discovering the blocks or bottlenecks to our flow.
What are the generational challenges across personal growth and development, inclusive of emotional intelligence? Being congruent with having an inner compass and willingness to be different allows a greater expression of the individual outside the less than productive educational structures we've had.
What if we taught our children/students to teach each other? Zen mentions that statistically, 40% of material is retained through passive learning while 98% is retained by teaching it. We still have teachers delivering instead of students learning and teaching each other.
We return to the notion of vulnerability and the anxiety-ridden considerations of being true to oneself, sharing from an authentic place and not caring what others think about it. Our conversation moves into some interesting directions.
These factors all impact the ability of an organizational leadership and staff to embrace a growing self-awareness/group-awareness. Question begin with, "What's getting in the way?" Many factors are considered, from the gross to the finer.
The aspects of consideration include organizational structure to emotional intelligence to psychological safety and intellectual humility to being aware of subtle energy. From best practices in business to a kind of quantum physics aspect of the 'Clair-alls' or what used to be called 'psychic senses.'
Explore the conversation for your own tasty tidbits of transformation as it will cause you to consider perspectives you may have held sacred until now. Loosen up, dive in, let it flow and garner your pearls. How do you invite flow into your life, your relationships and/or your work?

One World in a New World with Stephen Bassett - Paradigm Research Group
Do you believe we're being visited by UFOs? Steve has been a lobbyist for government disclosure of the UFO presence in our skies around the world. His story doesn't particularly have a spiritual awakening, though his passion for this topic began as a young boy and continues.
His interest in science and sci-fi, especially with aliens, prompted a deeper exploration into the UFO phenomena. As he matured, even as a teen, he knew the reports of UFOs and interviews of witnesses clearly indicated an extraterrestrial presence. Surprisingly, he's never had a direct experience with a UFO in his 30+ years of advocating disclosure.
Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the moon, was a speaker at an event Zen managed in Phoenix a couple of decades ago. Edgar revealed that on their way to the surface of the moon in the Lunar Excursion Module, a metallic silver cylinder was spiraling around the LEM nearly all way down to the surface. He knew it was nothing from Earth and wondered how long the inhabitants controlling it had been on the Moon.
Steve goes on to talk about the world-wide phenomena of the disc-shaped craft showing up at ICBM sites and literally shutting off the power to everything. He and many others are still curious as to why they did that. Speculation might lean toward sending a message that they were protecting people of Earth from themselves. We don't know.
Will our government disclose information about the UFO presence? Steve mentions presidential candidates, advisors and reporters that had chronicled their involvement in over 400 articles written around the world at the time.
Imagine the challenge across agencies in the government that held information, such as the Military Industrial Complex, that were the reason for the 'truth embargo' and 'protectors' of the nation. Alas, the plans were thwarted as the candidate wasn't elected.
Steve shares much more of his longstanding investigation and tumultuous journey to bring the UFO mystery to light, from National Press Conferences to Congressional Hearings.

One World in a New World with Dr. Marc B Cooper - Author, Elder Senior Consultant
We dive into the world of elder wisdom and a discussion from an elder's perspective of how they are being treated today. Marc's experience is that the garnering of wisdom from the geriatrically gifted is missed by the society today. Elders are just seen as old people with little value.
Zen's counter is that he and others like him relish the mentorship of elders, noting several of his own that are in their 80s and still highly functional with expertise and experience that is priceless to others. The reality is he is rare and that indeed, elders aren't viewed as valuable.
Marc admits that intellectually he didn't have an awareness of his connection with others, nature and life when he was young. That came later. He felt like it was more somatic, and experience outside his intellect, of being in nature and enjoying its virtues. His insights from longevity and a keen mind are well worth the view.
If this is going to be the way it is, negating our indigenous cultures and ignoring our connections to each other, what's next? He askes a pertinent and poignant question of, 'How can people alter there perception of that which is going on around them in such a way that the hostility diminishes and people don't always have to be right?'
Marc relates that we have a one in four hundred billion chance of being born, so being here today is like winning the lottery. We just don't respect that, in his opinion. He shares so much more knowledge and wisdom that is worth listening to, pondering and taking it in for your own growth in understanding beyond your years.
Marc's present work is with elders in preparation of transition, easing their concerns with conversations of a higher order, a self-awareness program for the geriatrically gifted that makes a real difference in how elders handle end of life scenarios. Death isn't difficult, it's living that is the challenge.

One World in a New World with Nicolas Perrin - Author, Co-Founder, Inspirational Speaker
As usual we explore the beginnings of the inner awareness that came to Nicolas in his late teens, consistent with many, in exploring his sexuality and considering his options. He shares that a significant challenge was whether to live a lie and remain around family and friends or allow himself to be true to him and explore.
Does he risk everything he has to go on a journey of self-exploration? He had to accept the possibility that his family could say, 'See ya later, bye.' Many folks wouldn't necessarily share openly about seeing a medium, let alone that she could 'channel' many different beings. Not everyone is comfortable with admitting that kind of ability exists, let alone have the intellectual humility to accept it. She asked him a simple question, "What do you think unconditional love is?"
He faced the awareness of his life had been in conditional love. He explains a series of events in his life that you might relate to, though you'd have to listen to find out. hint.. hint... He talks about losing his mother to cancer and their healing process.
Nicolas goes no the elucidate on some ancient teachings he discovered on his journey, though he didn't realize it at the time. He seemed to be going through a natural process of both self-realization and self-actualization as he was exploring the depths of being human and spiritual. His world view changed dramatically.
Asked about how he was able to share his world view perspective to assist others, he mentions first he felt like he had to go beyond his five senses. How did he do that? He explains inside, please do come in and follow the conversation as we meander in the mind flow of awareness and observations of ourselves and others.
While working for JP Morgan, Nicolas became a supervisor of a diverse group and was the youngest of them all. One day the lead trainer, one of his superiors, began to share her knowledge of other resources. She had asked him if he'd ever had his numerology chart done. He thought it odd, though many corporate trainers are much deeper explorers of self than many realize, simply because they are curious about who they are in relationship to others.
Listen in to some quite interesting processes as Nicolas describes the practical and pragmatic applications of the things he's learned and now applies in his professional work and life. You'll enjoy the conversation for sure.

One World in a New World with Blaine Oelkers - Chief Results Officer
Blaine opens with a comment about 'dawning comprehension' as the awareness of his initial dive into the quest for understanding of self. He mentions a specific helper in the form of Earl Nightingale reading Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich that came across his path in the early 1980s.
There's no waiting for nuggets as Blaine offers a tasty tidbit right up, "What you think about you bring about." He says it's like the Law of Attraction with action. What he realized from practicing the methodology in the book was that he could take his thoughts and crystalize them into a solid reality.
What he found out was that the circumstances he found himself in didn't matter. It was how he reacted to them that did. That's a common understanding today. To bring it into more focus, he found an original copy of the book and read the words, "What do you want most?" He'd read his copy over a dozen time and it did not have that section.
He wanted to create a million dollar business and gave himself plenty of time to do so. The result was he did it in a fraction of the time. He speaks to when things show up that really feed your mind and your heart, you've got to jump on it and ride.
We move into exploring the mind a bit more, in respect of the brain's activity, and that you can learn how to let your mind help you find stuff. It's like a radio station and if you tune into the stuff that you want in your life, it's going to appear. It's where we put the focus of attention, intention and interaction.
Zen shares a moment of reflection for him, mentioning his spiritual awakening as a teen and the marching orders he received of helping to facilitate a new world order of harmony among people and planet. He reveals it took 47 years of prep work, then a conversation with a previous guest drew him into the Executive Director position for the Live and Let Live Global Peace Movement.
The same process that Blaine speaks about being involved in his life's preparation for the fulfillment of destiny for him. He mentions the gap between stimulus and response as varying for individuals and yet the practice will provide results, leading by example and working in self first. He calls his morning routine of mental exercises a 'mind shower' and uses an app called 'Head Space' for it.
Zen asks, "What do you do for people that feel their life is a shit storm?" You'll love his explanation and many other tasty tidbits from a guy that walks the talk on a personal, self-actualized level by creating the life he wanted which gave him the opportunity to work from home and raise a family, not missing out on any opportunities for family time. Blaine's the real deal. Listen in for more... then test it.

One World in a New World with Doug Bruhnke - Founder & CEO, Global Chamber serving 195 countries and 535 metro areas to date. As we face sanctions and shenanigans, this is an episode worth your time and attention.
Asked about early inner knowings, Doug admits the calling to do international business seemed to be in his blood. One of his early realizations going into college was the awareness that he needed to be part of making the world a better place.
We dive deep into the world scene, changes and potential outcomes from the perspective of the world actually getting better, even with the bumps in the road. He speaks to the awareness that most of the inability to see beyond the veils of information and narratives, enlightenment comes from dealing with other people through trade.
What does a sustainable trade model look like? Doug's explanation is exquisite. He draws from his experience from around the world and doing business through trade and building relationships, citing extraordinary differences in cultural behavior we don't realize. Cultures are different. By understanding cultures and people, trade brings and ability to bridge them in peace. Imagine that... peace.
Doug speaks to the sense of doing business and managing trade being a natural evolution of personal development and learning how to be better humans. Zen mentions Live and Let Live Global Peace Movement as focusing on being better humans first, then doing away with aggression through law and order.
Doug does open up and share his inner experience and it's worth the wait. He shares making his first international trip working for the DuPont Company and going to the Hyundai plant in Korea. He reaffirms that we all need something to believe in to ground us, and if it works it's all good. What questions are best to ask in developing trade relationships? What questions do you think are best? What kind of process is best? What's evolving for you? Listen in to Doug's answers. The crux is around problem-solving and refining what we're good at doing.
Doug shares a story of how his work with the Global Chamber brought business owners together from Nepal and Dubai to create trade relationships. The members of the local chapters helped a representative from the company in Nepal with business owners in Dubai, and they acquired two contracts as a result. How do we flip the notion of needing to be afraid of each other, from the pandemic, to restore optimism and bring people back together more balanced and sustainable? We discuss the possibilities and those who exhibit the trending already.
Doug shares a challenge that had an interesting twist between an Argentine company and a US company that had communication issues which were resolved through the Chamber, and it wasn't pretty for some that weren't attentive.

One World in a New World with Char Murphy Esq. - Author, Cancer Survivor, Speaker
Deemed the 'Best Lawyer in Central Arkansas,' Char's choice of firm name - Murphy's Law - certainly gave a new spin on an old saying. Her activity was the opposite, moved by the connection she developed with worlds beyond common, such as working with angels.
You're probably asking, "Working with angels? What does that mean?" We often limit our experiences based on our belief systems or the essential programming we've had in life from relative sources. It almost seems oxymoronic that a lawyer would have experience with other worlds. We expect them to be 'practical and pragmatic' in more basic terms.
We dive into the process Char went through as the ability unfolded for her, which included what could have been an extremely traumatic event. How she handled it, with help, is perhaps more commonplace than we might consider. She speaks to the willingness to be vulnerable and open to the possibilities of a greater reality, after the success of her law practice.
How do we raise the bar for our own experience? Are we willing to do so? Can we be fearless and vulnerable, allowing the 'next phase' of our life experience to evolve naturally? We've had a collective door open with the pandemic and our ascension from it. What is in store for you as a result?
Char's experience with angels not only had an inner dynamic, it had physical evidence in photographs that were taken that showed images of what she felt was happening - the knowing of the presence. It began with faith and proceeded to knowing as she understood her entrance into a different experience as she went through her trials and tribulations with cancer.
Discovering the 'heart opening' and her realization that her cancer also brought about a connection to her heart, presenting an awareness of transcending the dis-ease she'd experienced in her heart, having been broken by previous experience. The revelation of her own process was quite special to share and her willingness to discuss it honored our deep dive.
As we move through the rest of the conversation she shares the knowledge and understanding of personal growth and development that comes with the opening to inner experience and embracing the process. You'll find many tasty tidbits of indications and understanding that will help you develop and/or validate your own experience further.
Do you hear voices? Do you ask yourself if they are real? Are you intimidated by them? Have you explored them? Do you argue with yourself? Do you question the source?
You'll find our conversation impactful, insightful and transformative.

One World in a New World with Carrie Leaf - Author, Holistic Mindset Coach
You'll really want to watch this entire conversation. The amazing bridge between generations and the communication flow is nothing shore of superb. It's proof that when we seek ways to come together and share, there are no age gaps. It will be well worth your time. Please do subscribe, too.
Carrie is a bright and lucid thinker, self-aware and very conversant about the observations of self. She begins by sharing her understanding of boundaries and why they are so important in receiving what one wants and deserves in life and relationships. Of course the journey wasn't that easy, knowing the hazards and still engaging them.
Learning to inquire and develop emotional maturity allowed her to move into a new location and also have a fresh look at patterns that she now had the opportunity to observe and make better choices. Sometimes it takes decades to come to that awareness.
Carrie has some great insights she shares from just being present and observant with the process of personal growth and self-awareness; the trial and tribulations we all experience of learning the dance with self. Progress comes when the personal compassion becomes present.
We dive into the nature of relationships being triggers for self-awareness and learning how to navigate the ocean of emotion with a better compass when the self-deprecation patterns subside. We discuss the little things that make a difference and the each person does things differently.
We all do what works for us in the moment, and it matters more how we handle the challenges than the challenges themselves. What she noticed in coming out of the pandemic is the nature of folks wanting to slow down, be more responsive and less frantic in their lives.
As we move into a interlude on holistic perspective, Carrie shares that she thinks for most people the mind/body connection is pretty easy to get, though when spirit, let alone planet, is involved it begins to get really nebulous for most. All the questions revolving around the inner connection happens in the alone time, even during struggles specifically.
What happens, as we both recognize and share, is that over time these growth patterns become more visible or perceivable as to when the process offers a challenge to overcome. The result is there is a willingness to lean in with anticipation of the outcome and growth, even though the experience may not be so pleasant. Zen mentions his favorite process phrase of it becoming 'excruciatingly fun.'
The conversation deepens in talking about the recognition of growth patterns and the variety of notions that come along with it. She shares that learning how to write our own story is imperative.
Please do listen in for more of your own insights as we share more common circumstances and realizations that help us all to recognize and ascend from our challenges together.

One World in a New World with Thomas Legrand - Author, Lead Technical Advisor UNDP
You'll be engaged by this deep dive into yet another possibility in the paths to understanding and finding life's purpose. The conversation reveals much understanding and wisdom for the process of moving forward collectively to engage a better future together. We cover both scientific and spiritual evidence of the process.
Thomas reveals that his awakening began about 20 years ago with a trip to Mexico and spending time with a shaman. He shares that the experience opened him to a greater reality in awareness and perception of connectedness. Many have engaged in such endeavors and found wisdom for life in the process.
We touch on his book, Politics of Being, and the need for a new narrative, which he states needs to be positive in nature. This narrative embraces both people and the planet so that our future is more secure. He states that the crises we are experiencing also have an inner component that we don't often recognize. Recognizing the relationship between the inner and outer circumstances is what is important.
Zen brings up the notion of a new world order of harmony among people and the planet that is unfolding as a result of the inquiry and tenacity of truth seekers. The phrase 'new world order' certainly has a charge for most, which Zen acknowledges, yet there is a more profound activity happening that is emerging within the population. Thomas offers his reflections that are congruent and mentions BahĂĄĘźu'llĂĄh's writings on the topic.
Thomas goes on to acknowledge that no matter what perspective we choose to view this process, scientific or spiritual, it is an evolution of hearts and minds within humanity. He speaks of his teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, and the monastery close by where he participated in a celebration of his life earlier in the day. He shares that in holding the ashes of his teacher, he had an experience of interbeing that had been the foundation of his teachings.
This 'inner beingness' is what Dr. Legrand believes we need to live by, the understanding that at a holistic and simple level we are all interconnected. The self disappears in the all and the One begins to emerge individuated in human form. Zen had mentioned earlier that in that experience of non-dual consciousness, there is still an observer that is aware of the experience.
In discussing his book, he shares there are two basic principles or questions. First, what is the wisdom-based approach to shifting politics and human development and how can we foster this conscious evolution?
This applies to the panoply of systems within the intricacies of our global village. The second, what is the appropriate path forward that includes the new understanding of the 'flourishing' of humankind in the incorporation of existing systems, across the gamut of business, education, industry, politics et al.
Zen shares his recent acceptance of co-executive director with the Live and Let Live Movement, which is founded on the principles of the phrase itself - Live and Let Live - and the legal and moral principles necessary to instill non-aggressive policies through changing the laws throughout the world to meet the requirements of a peaceful world. We're all leaders in that process.
How do we collectively work together to change the existing systems to stop the aggressive behaviors that are causing harm to people and humanity in general? What does being a good human mean to you? What tools do we have to engage people and systems of change?
How do we maintain consistency and intention? Thomas shares that we can agree and reflect on the general core values that we hold sacred and wise. We can harmonize with how we organize these systems and public policies with goodness, love, peace, and beauty.
Your host has been called an organizational bricoleur, a polymath, deep thinker and researcher and it comes out in his comfortable and open yet focused style. He's been a transformational coach and team building facilitator for decades, with a rich inner life as well. (BeTheDream.com & TeamPartnering.com)
David came out of working with the Environmental Defense Fund, helping companies be more energy efficient. The Regenerative Agriculture Sector Accelerator (RASA) and the Global Regeneration CoLab (GRC) caught his attention when he was introduced to the concept of regeneration. Going beyond a net-zero effect was imperative in his mind.
Regeneration is a kind of policy prescription for making the world better than it was, such as biodiversity, carbon sequestration, new jobs and a different kind of engagement with the environment. Can people be good for the environment? In his deep dive into self, he found a potential that they could.
David shares his notions about how he wants to use the 'last part of his life' to learn how to use the tools available in the virtual space and the internet to assist the growth of humanity. The internet is the largest engineering project ever and it still is growing, with the advent of collaborative tools now. Electromagnetic engagement, light pulses, often spill over into personal experience, too.
Spiritual awakenings that align skill set, passion and purpose don't have to be metaphysical. In fact, for many late in life they are not. It's a redirection of intelligence, knowledge and skill set to serve their community or humanity in an uplifting way. Regeneration is such a path as it aligns people, places and things for restoring the capacity of people to serve the land.
In this new level of engagement, with the IOT, he suggests that we need to consider the interconnectedness of nature and humanity, which is another level of complexity that hasn't been explored to the extent necessary. Now society has to engage this interconnectedness and the capacity for collaboration is growing. Perhaps these notions become self-evident in reflection.
The Global Regeneration CoLab has become a peer-to-peer support network for regenerative efforts around the globe. The participants see themselves as collaborators rather than competitors. Zen asks David about the nature of electromagnetic fields and the interactivity of humans and the internet producing some 'serendipitous' moments, i.e., bumping into others unexpectedly.
Dave refers to the latter as increasing the probability of serendipity and that the nature of the interaction brings a 'sensemaking' component into play. He noticed the sensemaking was something that developed as the people grew in the understanding of each other and the work that could be done for the environment.
Asked about the simultaneous personal development along with the projects, David admits he didn't expect there to be as much self-development as part of the process of learning how to work together in supporting the regenerative efforts. What he found in addition was that he became more aware of personal wellness and the personal traumas that also surfaced as the organization developed.
Asked about his own growth in awareness he offers that his learning curve has been steep with all the elements of the CoLab, such as time zones, how people interact, what they bring to the discussions, and the complexity of organizing the variety of types of meetings for a global community. We don't often think of how systems really work, only that they work for us in delivering goods and services.
We invite you to listen in further as we explore the ways people are learning how to work together in non-hierarchical environments from different backgrounds, cultures, skillsets and time zones. The silver lining from Covid, in this case, has allowed the opportunity for the GRC to develop.

You really need to listen to or watch this episode. It is full of tasty tidbits of great conversation about life and understanding how to navigate it. Frank is a multi-faceted human that is great with Being human. Our conversation goes in multiple directions with touch points of salience in flow.
He begins with noting home life had a Christian and Muslim mix, though his mother leaned toward Catholicism. His grandmother's passing brought him into a new and deeper experience regarding the gifts of spirit. The beginning of his accelerated learning curve in spirituality began when we was nearly bankrupt. Everything he'd learned and practiced just wasn't working.
His question, "What am I missing?"
Frank references Michael Singer's book, The Untethered Soul, presenting the question, "Have you ever considered you are not your mind?" You'll have to listen to the perfect metaphor he uses. What's water? Makes you think, doesn't it? What are you immersed in that makes you blind to what's around you?
What was his big 'aha' moment? How do you step out of the mind in order to observe it? Who's that, then? It's interesting to consider how that might cascade beyond anything you've considered to date? Zen shares a reference to living half inside and half outside and comments toward the nature of thetanic beings. Listen in for more on that.
Asked about the transition we're in and the potential of a silver lining in the pandemic, Frank prefaces his comment with his understanding that the universe unfolds 'for us,' not to us. What does the situation offer as a gift? Where is your agency?
Frank's illustration of framing responses to life, such as asking servant-leadership type of questions rather the self-serving. What can you see now that you can do something about that wasn't visible before your shift in point of view? Have we been in a collective daydream?
The conversation is quite apocalyptic as we bounce back and forth between the practical and pragmatic thinking to the reality of working with others in a professional environment. How do we introduce the concept of 'love' at the deepest level, in working relationships? The conversation unfolds nicely about how we communicate, hold space and the importance of it.
We hope you step into the entire episode as it has some great points shared from different perspectives of two guys who've had their travesties and triumphs, done their homework and share the comradery of growing in understanding of self and others and applying it in serving by example.

Make sure you subscribe, please! You'll be glad you did. Closed Captions (CC) in multiple languages, though Google Translate may not be the best. In a past life Faye Kitariev, aka SoFeya, was an Olympic skating coach with her athlete, Sasha Cohen, achieving a Silver Medal in women's figure skating, so she knows what discipline and determination can do. She admits that even though she came from a very disciplined country, she felt she rejected it in her youth.
As an adult in her degree work in spiritual psychology, she became aware of the trauma from the highly disciplined and often physically abusive environment. She was particularly surprised by how her studies revealed many trauma triggers which led to greater self-awareness and the ability to embrace and transcend them.
Growing up in Russia's influence was particularly influential, though not how you think it would be as she defied her coaches and mentors. She mentions a well-known coach, BĂŠla KĂĄrolyi, who inspired her as a coach years later; and even later finding a letter she'd written to him telling him about her aspirations in life. Her findings might just inspire you to write about your aspirations, too. After all, goals are just dreams with deadlines.
Midway through we begin to enter the twilight zone when our discussion turns to a bit of synchronicity beginning with a quick interlude on a Russian couple, Nicolai and Svetlana Levashov, scientist and psychic, after Zen inquires if SoFeya knows of him. The flow begins to dive deep into how inner work and spiritual practices. SoFeya shares her journey, including becoming a Kundalini yoga teacher, and how her connection to a greater consciousness led her into her current work.
SoFeya speaks to her growth in awareness and learning that even though we think we know stuff, our definitions are limited by the words we use. Experiences hold wisdom beyond words, yet it's often a challenge to articulate the wisdom garnered in understandable terms and words.
Even when words do come, as we gain more knowledge, those words often change and so we need to not be so attached to them. There is a shared passion for elevating our conditions and the way we see the world as we emerge into something new. You'll enjoy the full conversation.

We speak often about new leadership in our world and wonder how to empower it. Marc J. Victor certainly counters Shakespeare's notion about lawyers in his efforts to fulfill that calling His firm reflects the same, with the new millennial management style that puts his employees and staff first in ways we don't expect, like health-challenges and moral codes. Our conversation takes some interesting twists and turns that you might not expect. Marc understands that we are part of nature, and a plant-based diet is extremely helpful for well-being.
What are the things we believe to be self-evident? The conversation turns to Marc's involvement with politics, and specifically the Libertarian Party, citing the focus on freedom and a non-aggression principle. However, he feels there is more and that peace takes much more effort to achieve; it's not just about freedom anymore.
Inquiring of his efforts to found and launch the Live and Let Live Global Movement as a way to garner support for not only justice and freedoms; he cites moral principles are needed in the world today. Marc notes that principles are a primary foundation, which he references Steven Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People that is rooted in principles.
Oh sure, so you're starting a global peace movement. Let us know when you take over the world. The latter is not an uncommon view, though Marc goes into detail about the meticulous planning and strategy for engaging such an endeavor. His description sounds a lot like Zen's efforts in making sense common. The theme of 'Live and Let Live' is hard to argue with, isn't it? It's like our basic need to love and be loved. Who could argue with that?
Asked about the process of coming out of Covid and the mishegoss its created, from a local perspective, Marc immediately states that we are a global society. Something happened that affected the world and now we are all in it together. He speaks of 'our community' being the world today. We have to look at a win-win for the world, doing things for the right reasons, moving from adversarial to collaborative relationships.
Victor speaks to balance and mentions the image behind Zen and the fact that that IS where we live... one world. Zen mentions a conversation he had with Dr. Edgar Mitchell, sixth man on the moon, about his epiphany of connectedness to a greater reality. We agree that in the 21st century we need to have an inclusive perspective, which Marc notes that the Live and Let Live Movement is post-racial and that we need to promote the individual right of choice, given that the choice is non-aggressive or harmful to others.
We break from the action a moment with a short interlude from Zen's past and the profound understanding that came from it. You'll have to listen for that at around the 34 minute mark. The follow up question to Marc is, 'How do you see the evolution of the recognition of the interconnectedness within humanity happening as we come out of Covid?'
His answer and the 'rest of the story' is certainly worth listening or watching and pondering how you see the evolution happening, your part in it, and what you're able to do to support it.

Diane Wyzga had a knack for asking and answering questions beyond her age early on. It was a mixed bag of inner confidence and outer dismissal by adults. Both expanding her awareness and diminishing her esteem, she held on.
Many of our guests have an early experience of connectedness to the world beyond the norm. Most have at least a brief encounter young, though they don't return until later in life. Speaking to professionals who've established careers gives us all an opportunity to grow in knowledge and understanding, apocalyptically in some cases.
We start out on a deep dive into how Diane first got in touch with her recognition. The question prompts a memory unconsidered for some time. Remembering events that have been 'forgotten' until the question occurs are commonplace in our discussions.
The notion that there is really nothing hidden is presented with the awareness of being cosmic consciousness condensed into form as a point of light, bouncing back and forth to and from the Great Light for however many times it takes for us to understand the fact and learn how to get along. It's all about asking the right questions and letting the answers unfold, referencing Rainer Marie Rilke's perspective. We essentially asks questions, let go, and move on.
Diane reiterates that there is a great deal to learn in the process of learning how to ask and wait. Her comment about a common phrase, 'be careful what you ask for because you just might get it,' as usually considered being negative. She admits that only recently she's come to an understanding that it is not, meaning it comes unexpectedly. Something does come, though, and our job is to say, "Thank You."
As children, she says, we are often told to stop telling stories. Stories are perceived as lies, so stop telling lies. It shuts down the authentic self, causing codependency and other dis-ease. She notes how others misread or misunderstand how others relate to 'tuning in' to self and feeling or perceiving what story needs to be told. Many rescind from life and keep their inner experience quiet because others aren't able to relate or understand and thereby become categorizing or critical, let alone dismissive.
What if we could changer our perspective, become intellectually humble, and listen to others without boxing up their story in some way completely inappropriate to the storyteller. It would seem even disrespectful, though the storytellers tend to fall back and feel disconnected to their outer relationships. Diane has an eloquent and expressive way of putting this understanding into words that are very hard to misunderstand, so it's recommended to listen deeply to this Story Doula.
Diane shares that we all have a story within us, it just takes a special opportunity for them to have it 'listened' out of them. Instead of putting up resistance or projecting our ideas of what the 'truth' of their story is, they now have a chance to tell their stories unimpeded as they are listened to without conditions. Story asks questions in the listening. It is very much alive.
What oral traditions have we neglected as a result? The remainder of our conversation has insight and understanding shared that will absolutely deepen your experience of life and relationships. Perhaps it may even inspire that deeper connection you may have had to return.

We continue to seed the thoughtmosphere with tasty tidbits for transcendence. Ipek originally hails from Turkey, so her perspectives of life and the world are through different cultural eyes, yet so similar to many on the path to their own self-awareness and professional careers. We jump right in with the beginning of her own transformation; perhaps similar to many who've been in corporate environments.
She notes that it became a process of discovery about personal and professional inclinations. It required taking time to explore questions like, "Who am I?" and "What can I give?" There was a sense of being a guide, an influencer that could help others in transition. We discuss the foreknowledge of such a transition that came while visiting Turkey shortly before her 'challenge' showed up.
Zen reflects on his own transformation early and the challenges one faces when events and learning supersede the 'normal' maturation process. He goes on to inquire what that experience was like for Ipek, which she responds that challenges become so great that something has to change within. It took a while for her to get through the internal challenges and move toward her true self, a much different world that where she was initially.
Like many who've developed a life-service awareness through their own transformations, she now helps others to move through the process with less challenges and heartache. Zen mentions the gamut of perspectives from which we ask questions about our emerging process and its dynamics across the current global upwising. He probes Ipek on her own process and how she relates and reflects how others may benefit in understanding it better.
Our conversation moves into the sharing of how what was once called 'living in spirit' has now advanced to a more science-oriented perspective as 'living in quantum entanglement with the unified field' as an experiential process. They agree that questions are answered in a flow of life, perhaps like a choreographed movie specially designed for each individual. It's just up to us to recognize it.
Ipek speaks to a change of attitude she made, in her late 40s, of not doing anything that does not give her joy. This is particularly relevant to the notion of 'flow' in our lives and our ability to move into a state of being that engages life differently and produces the path to that joy through experiences. She agrees on the two-fold process of 'the universe' providing the opportunity and intuition backing it up - essential to understand.
Is it a sensation of being? How does one recognize this sensation and how to tune into it? Ipek relates that it is so important to slow down (to speed up) and recognize what's going on around one with more observation rather than participation. The 'monkey mind' is calmed and allows the inner being to emerge with greater awareness of connectedness and synchronicity.
You'll find great nurturing of self and value in this interview as this introduction only begins to highlight the insights and realizations available through considering the interplay and tangential conversation that brings many aspects of self-actualization and self-realization so important to the process of humanity at this time. You'll be glad you stay, listen and/or watch as we discuss deeper considerations of how we, as a humanity, can move forward toward greater harmony with self, others and nature.

Indra Rinzler says he's a life-time spiritual seeker. He has traveled to 56 countries and has a broader view of society than most in his 75 years of life. Our conversation begins with his acknowledgement that borders are relative and that people are the same everywhere. He expresses the notion of spirituality is perhaps different in each individual and whatever makes you light up.
Does passion for life include an experience of joy? Indra shares that joy may indeed be part of the overall experience, yet folks seem to be both tormented as well as excited in living their passions. What might the visceral experience be of a greater awareness? He shares that many seem to find themselves in the reference of 'glass half empty' or 'glass half full.' Zen asks if they are aware that they really hold the pitcher.
Are we so stuck in a bi-polar framework as to not realize we are the source of our reality? Zen asks about the wisdom he might share from the observations and life experience he's had. How does he see the current chaos and transition through it? His response offers some insight and clarity as to how sometimes what we think we value has to be taken away for us to re-examine our lives.
Is there a silver lining in the process of learning how to navigate through all the suffering? He states there absolutely is in how people are being forced to re-examine who they are and how they want to live. We discuss his vocation with Vedic astrology and use of the enneagram and how he found he shares more of what he needs to learn, not necessarily the litany of details his clients expect.
We have an interlude regarding the aspect of non-attachment that he's found from the years of his own seeking, which is says becomes quite hilarious at times in how the universe works to make light of our attachments. He mentions his father's death in his mid-20s and how his casket had the wrong middle initial and that taught him early not to be attached to the specifics of life.
Indra expresses that now Americans are experiencing trauma closer to home with the constraints being place on our activity. He says the silver lining is that people who haven't been happy in their jobs are not having the chance to change, some personal choices are forcing it as well.
Our conversation evolves into looking at the various Yugas, which are a series of ages put forth in Vedic astrology and understanding. There are four ages, with the Kali Yuga (last age/decline or density of humankind) transitioning and showing signs indicative of the Dwapara Yuga (coming age/ascension of humanity).
There's a silver lining in the density as well, as it tests our mettle of discipline and seeking a higher path. The transition offers signs such as atomic energy, quantum physics, internet proliferation and universal health care. Indra speaks to the reality of telepathy and communication we all experience, and are more aware of it today, as also being an indicator of the Dwapara Yuga.
One of the most interesting insights Indra offers is that he's noticed all the different species on Earth, a connectedness they all seem to share, and that across the universe it may only be a difference of scale as to the recognition of the interconnectedness we share.
You'll really need to explore the rest of the story as we explore other interesting points of connectivity. Indra shares some reflections of his teachers and the work he's found that continues to k
Like Paul Harvey said, "and now, for the rest of the story.' In times like these, the conversations that matter inspire a deeper connection to life with self, others, and the world around us. Part 2 of the 2021 features short clips from empathic and generative chats that are at times poignant and, at others, salient with tasty tidbits for transformation. There's a precious present afterward, a reveal from nearly 50 years ago now.
Our first six months of conversations were delightful, insightful and full of wisdom shared through stories of life; the trials and tribulations as well as the transformations and triumphs. I am so grateful to each of my guests and their willingness to share their stories and listen to mine. The psychological safety and intellectual humility necessary for deep conversations is demonstrated throughout them.
We start off with Dr. Pauline Crawford's personal acknowledgement of the process of co-creation. Kosta Makreas expounds upon a moment of contact his wife experienced while he was participating in a CE-5 event. Dr. Melissa Hughes talks about the things we don't know about ourselves that make us who we are and what's fascinating about grounding and observing the mind's meanderings.
Dr. Dennis Reina speaks to the development of trust building in organizations. Tom Paladino offers his early learning about seeking the advice of elders; those who've journeyed where we want to go and listing to their wisdom. Geoff Woliner considers the notion of what lights up our soul, the activities or interests that inspire us. Dr. Pat Boulogne speaks to the nature of patterns, especially noting and changing those that aren't beneficial.
Doug Brietbart shares his dark night of the soul and the consciousness that became accessible in the quiet. Lisa Ma gives insight into how people are gathering and supporting one another as we progress from the chaos. Mark O'Brien spills the beans on his inner child re-awakening and the difference it made in his life. Laura Staley invites the experiential wisdom forward, that thinking about 'doing' just isn't the same.
Our next round of conversations will take some interesting twists and turns as we meander through the garden to find the delicious food for thought not often found, let alone shared.

Beginning in June of 2021, new conversations developed and dove into areas not often addressed in the marketplace, let alone everyday lives. Our goal was to demonstrate that deep dives into the relationship between inner and outer realities is not only possible, they are so very similar across the vast backgrounds of the guests.
This gives us hope, perhaps even inspiration that we can grow together and co-create opportunistic solutions for moving us toward harmony within self, with others and with Nature. The latter is a two-fold reality pregnant with possibility; that which is within us and that which is of the world merging for the greater good of all.
These clips from about half our guests, as Pt 1, offer a collection of poignant realizations and salient points of a new order that appears to be developing naturally, Our apocalyptic chats illustrate how the curiosity, inquiry and vulnerability of the participants allow them to speak from their depths of contrivance beyond the petty notions of separation and survival.
Closing out 2021 brings immense gratitude for these opportunities to examine and explore the rise from our past traumas individually and collectively toward something greater. We don't know exactly where we are going, or even how to get there, yet these chats are part of many that are happening around the globe now.
Evolving toward a civilization that demonstrates our humanity is a desire apparent in all the guests, applying and offering their personal skill set to the process. Our entrance into 2022 will start with an exciting tone for expanding our conversations into this emerging order and how it might be helped through participation and sharing resources that facilitate the process.

Each episode we take deep dives into personal awareness, inner connections and realizations that transform into practical applications in the outer world. It's our way of sharing learning, understanding and wisdom for the times - offering considerations for the great 'weset' and 'upwising' that starts with people just like you that are seeking confidence in their own path or a new living awareness altogether.
After an initial misstep and correction, much like life, we delve into the early connection Laura found in the midst of an emotionally traumatic childhood. Her story is not uncommon, though many go through traumatic childhoods and repeat them as adults. She speaks of recognizing the early connection with her soul as a place of solace, though she didn't realize it until later in life.
Did you spend time in nature as a youth? What was that like? How did it feel? Can you remember?
Laura shares her experiences in nature as a child that's a very interesting perspective. We also have an interlude on the notion of choosing our childhood experiences in order to grow and evolve our understanding of our greater self.
We often think life is a series of coincidences that 'happen' to us. Is it possible there is a preliminary conversation between self and Self before entry?
What becomes obvious is the life path Laura chose combined inner and outer sciences, like Feng Shui and political science, that gave her the foundation for building not only an understanding, an experience of the connection with everything through a sense of love.
For those that haven't experienced it the reference to Tom Campbell attempting to explain a right-brained world to a left-brained thinking being nearly impossible because it is experiential rather than intellectual.
Further on Laura explores looking back and identifying the manner in which she was able to move out of the constraints of early childhood trauma and find triumph through her personal discoveries.
First, she notes an inner voice that spoke in comfort and surety of her eventual safety. But first, she had to experience some devastating events that she reveals through her 'healed' reflection.
Zen asks, "Why are we so biased and prejudiced that we cannot see ourselves in another?" After a short struggle, Laura answers, "Fear." Considering how interconnected the electromagnetic spectrum is, could it be that the chime from her computer is a perfect synchronicity in edifying her answer.
She goes on to say that if she feels disconnected [fearful] then everything is a threat. Zen reflects on the notion as evidence of a kind of quantum entanglement with the unified field regarding synchronicities and need for further attention.
Much more happens that writing about it doesn't do it justice, you just have to listen and/or watch. Our discussion deepens into ways in which we both have found to further the connection with others, be better in resolving perceived conflict and engaging the inner-knowing and understanding of our processes that can be repeated with others effectively.
Laura shares several events that example the practical and pragmatic use of emotional maturity or being able to be the anchor in the center of the storm.

In another apocalyptic chat, Mark starts off by acknowledging the children he's had the chance to share his books with (below) and how they have re-instilled his sense of awe and wonder. Children are fearless and haven't learned or been conditioned to be guarded about their awe and wonder. Regarding his children's books, he speaks to the creation of something given to the world and the responsibility that comes with it.
Mark's comments about what it was like to restore his awe and wonder are priceless and best heard than read. He goes on to say that he's been aware of that 'inner knowing' though he never felt he would ever be able to exercise it again. Do we surrender the sense of awe and wonder or is it taken away from us? What do you think?
What is your passion? Mark's sense of his greatest desire was to write, though he didn't feel free enough to do so. How do you feel about your passion play, or deepest desires and how you've been reluctant to proceed? Have you lost your parents or a loved one? How did that affect you? Mark speaks about his concern about his father's transition, how he would handle it and how he did.
How is your relationship with friends? Would they know you well enough to reach out to help when you need it? Mark shares about a friend that saw his depression and set him up with a therapist that he resisted at first, then weeks in he realized he was making a transition. Having someone to talk with is often what's necessary to make the personal transformation.
Zen offers that it isn't so much what the therapist says, beyond the questions asked, it's hearing yourself take the conversation out of your head and being able to listen to the words coming out of your mouth that allows a different level of processing that makes a huge difference. What kind of shields do you put up to protect yourself from life experience
We talk about real-life and Mark's experience in the ad agency he worked for, and was preparing to leave. He speaks about the transition from his implosion to and explosion of confidence and perseverance toward breaking out on his own. He shares a story about an experience in meeting a person in line at a coffee shop that spoke to him about her own explosion as a cancer survivor. You'll enjoy the spark from his connection that is evidence of awe and wonder restored.
Have you ever had the opportunity to participate in a collaborative exercise, like a writing class? How did you feel about participating? Were you afraid of being judged? What if you had an opportunity and knew there was nothing you could do wrong? How would that change your personal view of yourself? Mark describes an opportunity he created for others through a BizCatalyst360 Salon. (see below)
More insights, sharing and reflecting on similar situations continue throughout the balance of this conversation that you just have to listen to for the full effect. Thanks for watching and please do subscribe, share and comment. We've all got insightful moments and we're happen to share some of those to help us restore our humanity and transition into a brighter future than we have now.

Lisa Ma converted a highly-developed skill set to fulfill a passion for helping humanity. She believes we're stronger together and can co-create a strategic path that unites superpowers toward a greater vision for humanity's future. Her superpower is connecting people, for instance. Others have gifts and skills that are complementary to a shift toward a healthy transformation.
We jump right in to the challenge many folks have today of enjoying being able to perform at peak in virtually any company position, yet feel a bit empty in relation to being able to do good things in the world. Lisa shares a bit of her travels and engagements around the world, yet that even with those events she still felt there was something missing. She was still seeking something more and sought out ways to be involved in philanthropy and volunteer work as a way to fill the gap.
Do you feel that there is something missing in your life in regard to engaging your passion for service? Many are discovering their passion for helping others now, especially with the challenges we're all facing on multiple fronts. Lisa found that her passion for service blossomed in 2020, starting with a great deal of introspection. She began to notice how synchronicities led her to discovering people, places and things in new ways.
Lisa goes on to reveal that she initially found the process intriguing from how she was experiencing a new living awareness, yet she was still analyzing the process through her old corporate-trained analytical thinking. She notes the difference between being in her head and thinking things through to find answers and being in her heart where she 'just knew' the answers to her queries.
We discuss the notions of spiritual awakenings and the process of taking skill sets to the next level. For Lisa, it was using technology to begin bringing people together to figure out how to help each other in the new virtual environment made possible by the sequestration conditions.
We weave a sharing of the process from multiple perspectives you will find inspiring and inviting. Lisa's way of bridging the very practical and pragmatic business-minded activity with the activities that explore more of the 'being' first and connecting and sensing each other, then learning how to serve humanity by working together better. She notes the co-creative process flows into many dynamics of paradigm shifting.
There's a lot of tasty tidbits and nuggets of nourishment for encouraging connecting, unleashing your own superpowers and connecting with others through the virtual opportunities at present.
You'll enjoy the conversation and please do subscribe and share. The ability, desire and sharing of conversations that matter is a superpower you hold, too.

What would you expect from a consultant specializing in the formation and launch of new businesses, the review and turn-around of existing companies, and optimization of operations, management team, business or revenue model, and marketing/sales strategy? This conversation is quite different than you would expect. Doug is more about BEing than DOing and assists others in doing so at organizational levels.
What does 'sovereignty' mean to you? Do you have it? Do you know you have it? Doug dives into his inner side of reality quickly to note that even if we don't want to admit it's there... it is. He relates a quick story about his introduction to a 'sensitive' and what she shared with him. What was your process for determining your life's course? Have you found one yet?
Doug reveals that early in life he really had no emotional connection to it. Life was about accomplishing, doing stuff and having things without much thought for others. He themes his beginnings as a contemporary version of a Neanderthal. Graduating from an Ivy League school with a law degree was no small accomplishment, though the 'work' kept him from connecting with life.
Even with the accomplishments he says he was rather bereft of self-awareness and consciousness. The entertainment industry was is home for a bit, culminating in a couple of artists with top five and top ten accomplishments. He had dramatic rise to success and an equally dramatic crash and burn. How did he move through that? Listen in...
Zen asks Doug to highlight some of the nuggets of learning along the way. HIs big take away, and offering, is don't feel like you have to go through all kinds of rites of passage to get somewhere; just go for it. Doug shares his experience in transforming his idea of reality (26 employees, top artists, offices and studios around the world) to being invited to a weekend personal development workshop that was extremely uncomfortable. You'll love what happened next. Listen in...
If you had the chance to transform your life into something you really need and want, why would you wait? Oh, there's a door that's scary to many and absolutely frightening to others. How many of those doors have you been presented with in your life and not taken advantage of them? How did you feel when you did walk through them?
Tuning in to this conversation could very well be one of those opportunities as Doug spells out the process that transformed his life over time and set him up with a new trajectory that he loves and offers a great reward in his service to others through organizational development.

We thank all the viewers and please do subscribe. You'll get fresh content on a weekly basis.
We start off recapping our original meeting through a leadership conference for American Society for Training and Development (now Association for Talent Development) which has chapters in 147 countries. We talk about his transition from ASTD and why he made it. You may find a similar theme in your life now.
Geoff shares how he saw his position as Charter Relations Director as a way to learn from others around the nation and share what was working across the country to other chapters who were struggling. It gave him a way to help many by paying attention and connecting the dots like a holistic systems thinker. He mentions how chapters were a place of solace for those caught in the economic downturn in the late 2000s.
Zen mentions his experience in the aerospace industry in the late 80s and attempting to introduce interpersonal skills meeting with less than favorable results. 30 years later, the scene had changed in the human resource and instructional arena, which included highly motivated people with high integrity that really wanted to serve others professionally in ways that helped them grow.
Geoff's book, Leaving 2020, is our next tangent and he shares that the book is about the trials and tribulations of people in the current times, going into and coming out of Covid. The impetus came after his business, like many others, disappeared. He'd been writing and speaking for public events and when public events ceased, so did his work. He was faced with a catastrophic event, yet came out of it seeing an opportunity to perform differently, still loving what he was doing.
"When something really profound happens, it doesn't come from you, it comes through you," Geoff says, acknowledging this is a common sense within artists, writers and creative sorts. He talks about the theme of the book and the epicenter of activity, New York City, and how it affected the main character to the point where he jumps from a building. You'll have to read the book for the 'rest of the story.'
Geoff acknowledges that at first his action were completely ego-based in not wanting to work for someone else and being able to leap into that opportunity. Even though it was ego-based initially, he found that the process changed his perspective completely and the element of service returned in a way that gave him fulfillment and joy in ways he certainly didn't expect at first. He recognized the impetus to push him into a greater aspect of himself, he just knew this book was something he had to do.
We take a jaunt into a chat about consciousness, quantum physics, and the growth of our humanity offering possibilities for a new living awareness to enter our experience as a whole. Geoff relates his takeaway on 2020 as so many profound consciousness shifts forward that happened on a micro and macro level. He says if you were paying attention you could see it, otherwise it just seemed like everything was going to hell.
Geoff speaks to the saving grace of a cohort in England who began Zoom meetings just a way for people to stay in touch with each other, even though they were stuck in quarantine. He talked about the comradery that developed with people from all over the world. He reveals that many of those people became characters in his book and that they had as much to do with the writing as he did, just by their relationships.
There's more tasty tidbits hidden in the conversation that only by watching it will you receive the benefits of the wit and wisdom Geoff and Zen share through their apocalyptic chat. It will be worth your investment of time for sure.

Of course we hope you've also subscribed to our channel.
Dr. Boulogne's younger years, growing up in a neighborhood of mainly boys, put her in a more explorative environment as curiosity about Nature led her into places girls weren't necessarily going. She relates that growing up that neighbors just didn't lock their doors. It's much different today and kids don't often have the opportunity to explore Nature.
She relates her process of being introduced to Oriental Medicine and that during her early years she had been working toward PreMed and had all the credits necessary. It occurred to her that the hospital wasn't really a place for people to get healthy, especially when life's activities were much healthier activities.
We corroborate that the focus of our attention, intention and interactions are primary functional disciplines that lead to changing lifestyles from the gloomy to the glorious, even for the terminally ill. Pat offers that even watching 'happy' movies and shows are effective in changing the body's chemistry which was also mentioned by Dr. Melissa Hughes in a previous interview.
Dr. Boulogne talks about a time when her office location had a tree for hugging, just outside her door. She'd recommend giving it a hug, which sometimes caused a bit of reticence in her patience due to the 'odd' behavior and its perception by others, "What if someone is watching?" Her response, "Who cares?" So what. Live joyously. It's your health.
Our conversation moves to the inner and outer 'talk' going on with most people. Dr. Pat shares that is is just 'talk' and that the true power in oneself is realizing we are in charge of our thoughts. She shares in such cases of realization, it's like a rocket ship for better life experiences when one realizes they are in charge of their thinking.
Check in to her comments about having superpowers. What is/are yours?
Pat mentions she operates on a kind of Einstein's time theory where she has her list of things that need to be done and the time allotted for accomplishing them. She states that turning her attention, intention and interaction toward achieving those 'goals' for the day more often than not allows her to complete the tasks and have time left over. Imagine if you were able to craft your day with such precision and then allow the process of focus to create the flow of completion.
Pat's sharing of her understanding and wisdom about the mammalian brain activity parallels my conversation with Dr. Hughes as well. We further discuss the trends of moving out of last centuries constrictive notions of command and control environments toward a more aware and open framework that can adapt and change through our mind flow.
You've just got to listen to the rest of the discussion as it holds wonderful insights and revelations as to how we can alter our living awareness to include a much larger dynamic of life and is accompanied by the ability and capability for change. After all, we're in a tight spot globally right now.
Wouldn't it be great to explore new possibilities with curiosity, questions and trips down the rabbit holes to discover and share opportunities to achieve great things for ourselves and humanity?

It doesn't matter whether you really care about what's going on between your ears the way Dr. Melissa Hughes does. You will enjoy how she brings much needed discussion to light - how the brain works and what we can do with that knowledge.
As a fourth grade teacher, she came to the with the question, "How can I be the best teacher I can be if I don't understand how the brains work, or how the brain quirks?" You'll enjoy the details she offers as to how and what we've learned about the brain.
She shares that the boon in brain research started in the 1990s under the Bush administration, which sought to organize technology toward exploring the topic. Melissa relates her trying times as a teacher in Ohio and the effect of emotional contagions and stress hormones from teachers to students regarding the new high-stake tests that had been introduced.
The learning she found as a teacher and applying in the classroom was not just for the classroom, it actually helps throughout life. She relates how the 'happy chemicals' triggers the higher thinking functions of the brain and shares more definitive details about the chemistry and functions. Have you ever had a 'What was I thinking," moments? Melissa offers some insights in observing our interactions for self-growth.
What all is happening outside of our awareness? How do we find out? We move into noting various pieces of awareness, such as confirmation bias, that affect interactions on personal and professional levels all the time. Intellectual humility comes over time by seeking out other opinions and perceptions that are in direct opposition to our belief systems.
What do you do to engage intellectual humility? Do you know how? Melissa offers some possibilities as to how one might engage the process, though she notes it takes a lot of discipline to do so. Her research into creating 'atmosphere' and 'experience' in restaurants found much detail of other perceptions we have in the moment that we aren't conscious of in the moment.
How do you or we use the invitation to experience more? Melissa starts with attention and intention (perhaps interactions, too). Do we really pay attention to everything we are feeling or sensing in the moment that affects how we engage each other and our situational experience.
How do we see the world? Is it through just our own experience or do we consider what has shaped another's point of view? Melissa mentions that we must learn this behavior, that we aren't necessarily given the natural skill. We have to develop the self-awareness over time and through disciplined effort.
How have we dealt with the opportunity for self-reflection during 2020 and moving forward? What are your hopes? What have you learned about yourself? Melissa's questions of how things have been affected by this period offers multiple perspectives to consider further.
How do we build psychological safety and emotional intelligence in the hybrid world? Melissa shares some details from current research and considerations that you'll find intriguing, if not useful. Further in there are some suggestions for putting this awareness of how we affect our own consciousness and others similarly into practical use. She offers a challenge for testing it.
Melissa says we need more human connection; those moments of happy thoughts that occur when people interact in healthy ways, like sharing a smile. She shares three techniques to find balance and 'happy thoughts' in the moment. They are all things that affect the brain/body connection. If you can breath, you can put them into action.
"Pay attention to what you are paying attention to," was Melissa's parting gift.
Please do subscribe and share this series. The feedback has been stellar from our guests and you'll enjoy the individual journeys we take to share a collective mind flow toward a new living awareness. Our conversations dive into uncharted territory with curiosity and questions. We 'uncover' some very interesting and salient points of order.
Tom Paladino has over 25 years of research and study of scalar energy; a new way of looking at consciousness. We begin with a brief clarification of what scalar energy is, which Tom states is simply 'consciousness.' He shares that discovering Tesla's work early in life inspired and intrigued him to pursue further study of scalar energy. A reference of conversations with 'people from elsewhere,' edifies what Tom has found, too.
When we speak of 'energy,' perhaps we've been sequestering its capacity for understanding because we've been looking at 'it' through only electromagnetic lenses. Tom relates there are two kinds of energy; electromagnetic and scalar. He feels the mind and heart are both scalar energy driven, from the sense of their connection to our reality; that feeling and thinking are scalar activities. How does that work from his perspective?
Tom brings the questions of how thought is scalar, it's non-physical, and that our days are a result of how we 'project' our waking 'mood' into the day. The discussion moves to suggestions as to how to make oneself aware of the 'stinking thinking' and being able to shift on the fly. He demonstrates examples through his own realizations and the discipline necessary to simply be aware of our thinking.
Looking for the positive directions or opportunities is always a choice. Tom says just being realistic about moving throughout the day is just being your best in the moment. Whether prayer, meditation or just intention, just doing the best we can in the present moment is what shifts our reality to experiencing a better life personally and quite likely for those around us, too. What kind of examples will Tom share? Zen reflects a varied of similar views from different perspectives, too.
So what can the individual do to promote their well-being? If it begins with 'consciousness' then managing life with simple daily goals moves the needle one day at a time. Tom offers that daily goal setting, even simple ones, changes our reality toward living a happier and more joy filled life. He makes a distinction between have a goal of being successful and having a purpose in life. He recommends giving attention, intention and interaction toward the latter.
There is a psychological set point. Once you develop that path, that you are the captain of your ship, people take that seriously. Human proclivities often include self-deprecation instead of self-empowerment. Recognizing and changing those patterns, the internal dialogue, is key in reorganizing one's life toward finding purpose. He believes if we all (each of the 7.9 billion) would just do one kind act a day, make one improvement on self a day, it's possible to experience paradise on earth.
Watch the entire episode for more insights and suggestions for learning to live in a new awareness and assisting our relatives to do the same. If you experience undesirable others, just do your best to uplift them is Tom's advice. He mentions prayer as a tool for self and others, too. If we consider that within the realms of consciousness, there is a call and response aspect that just might be correlated by advancing our understanding of quantum entanglement.
He, like many, suggests we look for what brings us together and not what divides us. Our efforts to do so engages consciousness, scalar energy, to bring us all up. We all share this in common, regardless of our background, diversity or religion. It's a quantum relationship, according to Tom, that will soon unite us with understanding. That understanding of how to work together better touches the essenc
It's been over a decade since Dennis and I first met in Crystal City, VA. at an American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) international leadership conference. Now the Association for Talent Development, the event was full of instructional developers and chief learning officers. His work and business has grown substantially since then.
Dennis Reina, Ph.D. and his life and business partner, Michelle Reina, Ph.D. are the founders of Reina Trust BuildingÂŽ, a global consulting, assessment, coaching and development firm that has worked with leaders and teams in more than 250 organizations worldwide, and on every continent.
Reina helps organizations build and rebuild trust and exceed business goals through the power of human connection, no matter the company size, structure, location or market challenges.
Trust Building makes these organizations measurably more energetic, adaptive and capable. Our conversation covers his early explorations of taking advantage of traveling companions and finding his first job. It was a very interesting an unique one. He shares some about a Near-Death Experience he had early in life, too. We jump around from one spot to another and eventually land in a discussion about trust.
Dennis gets a bit caught up in books and models in an effort to explain what he's found leads to being able to discuss and initiate organizational culture trust. Why is it so important and how do you build or re-build trust within an organization?
Dennis is a cancer survivor as well, and we speak about the process of getting through the tough patches and grow into a future with less trepidation. We discuss more about questions, developing processes and building trust with self and others.
Like a true presenter, he pulls out a prop to help illustrate the various factors involved in trust. Bringing in the sense of trust and how it feels, with a little sidetrack, I was searching for a deeper explanation on how the trust in interpreted by the body. How would a leader learn how to tune into the gut, the intuition, of how the trust level is discerned.
Dennis shares some methods of inquiry to flush out details using the framework he and his wife have developed over the years. Character, Capability and Communication all affect trust. How do we work through questions that need to be asked in order to move the playing field to the next level and invite players to participate in a more authentic and honest fashion?
And now for something completely different. We've been diving deep into the lives of those in the trenches in business, organizational development and systems transformation in a variety of ways. Kosta Makreas brings a new dimension to the conversations, perhaps in some ways apocalyptic to our audience, from having a professional career in software engineering to interacting with Star People.
As two Hoosiers reuniting, we launch into some familiar territory for us. Both of us have been active in Ufology for decades, though Kosta has taken a front seat, so to speak, with his efforts to build, organize and support a vast network of folks who want to make contact with Star People, which is their preferred nomenclature according to Kosta.
What may seem odd or peculiar or even scary to some has been lifelong experiences for others. Kosta shares how his interest began as a youth and the challenges he faced growing up in a period when it wasn't too popular to talk about engaging aliens, let alone calling them Star People. His shares a synchronistic experience his wife had while he was away on a CE-5 week-long campout.
If you haven't heard the term, CE-5 refers to human initiated contact with Star People. Kosta's work began with Steven Greer and quickly evolved to developing contact groups around the world on his own. Our chat moves into discussing the People's Disclosure Movement, taking the notion of disclosure and putting it in the hands of the people instead of governments that have not been able to announce their knowledge.
Research and study is always necessary, and Kosta mentions a study that includes over 4,000 accounts from around the world. It was performed by an organization called FREE, under the title of Beyond UFOs - The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non Human Intelligence. We discuss Kosta's work with ET Let's Talk (https:etletstalk.com) and the numbers of people involved. You might be surprise, though perhaps not.
If your curiosity is sparked, you'll enjoy the conversation for sure. We only scratch the surface of the work and how it affects those involved. For decades it wasn't popular to speak up or out about this topic and now folks seem to be flocking toward their own discovery and engagement.

Poignant, Purposeful, Insightful and Inviting Dr. Pauline Crawford has been engaging apocalyptic chats in her work, Magical Conversations, for decades. She's an activator and wayshower for creating change in how we interact conversationally and ultimately in our functional daily lives; professions and relationships.
Reflecting on Walking on the Moon or being in the Lighthouse with a little bit of alliteration, Pauline shares that she's always been at the center of communication and conversation. Her early observations of the flow of conversations, or not, lead her to dive deeper into the nature of conversations. Developing a process called Third Space, which became 'Magical Conversations.' Our conversation advances to the discussion of 'flow' and the aspects of mind flow and heart flow. The question of noticing the disconnects, those things that constrict or inhibit effective and flowing conversation (bias, criticism, judgement, etc) and how she facilitates the transcendence of them.
She speaks to the aspect of making sense common through conversation being a key aspect and offers a technique to bring balance with a statement of intent and the choice as to whether to stay or go. It isn't matter of whether to stay or go, it's a matter of recognizing the activity.
The notion of unity in diversity is a challenge for some, yet the wisdom is that everyone is equal in the conversation even in their difference. How do we translate the feelings and sensations we have during conversation?
Traditional methods are metric-driven with little attention given to the mind flow, the sensemaking. Pauline shares the observation that virtually every professional realm has been ignorant of the natural gifts of people because we focus on materialism. Nature has a plethora of aspects that we haven't considered that offers a reflection of the direction we are evolving toward.
What is your 'one word' for the future? What does it illicit within you? What does it engage in you?
She asks an interesting question as prep work before joining the Magical Conversations regarding specific focal topics, "Are you willing to be here before you get here?"
Consider the implications of that question. How would you answer it and what do you need to do within yourself to answer and show up in the affirmative?
Dr. Crawford offers an open invitation to participate in the World Wisdom Circles that bring people together to explore how different cultures express the same concepts using different words. Imagine if you had the ability to recognize the similarity where you first thought there was a difference or division?
As evidence of intrigue and unexpected references with the mention of Edward DeBono's Six Hats, Pauline reveals that he is her third cousin. The notion of order in chaos offers an insightful reference that brings the conversation back to mind flow. So many points of order appear at times that it's difficult to acknowledge and draw attention, yet the sense is of connecting and flowing well.
The comfort in ambiguity and the ability to be vulnerable in our conversations, whether in purposeful gatherings or normal life, bring opportunity for better relationship building. The awareness of something 'feeling' good (connected) compared to the sense of feeling bad (disconnected), brings the ability to discern whether something is 'desirable' or 'undesirable.'
The balance of our conversation flows around the sensemaking of feelings, words, vibrations and the conscious or unconscious manner in which we engage them or ignore them.
Pauline's dream is to remove all the 'negatively connotated' words in our language that create separation in their use. The notion of a concerted effort to change how we communicate is quite spectacular and offers great challenge as well as great opportunity.
We really hope you'll offer some time and consideration of our content and conversation.
Cogent, Coherent, Conversational Dive into Creating New Ways of Doing and Thinking Donna is co-founder of Unstitution - a purposeful coalition, a mindscape, a do-tank and a robust, modular methodology set that meaningfully brings together people and organizations from across civil society, business and government sectors.
We enter the Wayback machine again, highlighting the discussions going on in psychology about the need for greater awareness and reflection Donna found early in her career. She mentions, too, that early in life she realized a rather idealist view in that she wanted to do something to make the world a better place. She wanted to feel like what she was doing made a difference, like most Cultural Creatives at the time.
We peered into the early years, as a teen, when she first became aware of her empathic listening and giving herself permission just to be herself. Early beginnings of exploring self, paradoxes and realizing that the seeming polarities were part of a whole, not something to cause separation. Donna mentions that who we are at an individual level is always important, though we are connected to something much larger.
Wanting to be valued for the things most valued in self is a point Donna makes and reflects on the need for being clear about what one values, first. Being a pioneer in the field, like many of our guests, she relates that early on there were disconnects in the readiness for acceptance within industry, as well as private and public organizations. Alas, she sees a trending of authentic relationship building through deep listening and more open conversations.
Donna chronicles her transformation from working inside corporations and organizations to exploring a larger scope of working with them from a liminal space, literally. She makes a point that she and many others live in that liminal space and just haven't found the right platform or space to co-create at larger levels in the world. Ego to Wego, Ego to Eco... the merging in service is trending.
Transitioning from the Industrial Age to the Age of Human, as she defines, is that trend toward harmonizing the 'new' with the benefit for self, others and Earth. Unstitution was born to begin working in the space between, making sense and making sense common with best practices that bring diverse people together for common purpose - a better world.
There's much more in the conversation to discover that offer insight and inspiration with diverse applications across personal and professional relationships and community development.

Topics: Out of Body, Near-Death, Expanded Awareness, Shared Understanding Have you ever had an Out-of-Body or Near-Death Experience? How did you relate to it initially?
Lynn K. Russell took the road less traveled for sure. It entailed a diverse and long misunderstood realm of out-of-body and near-death experiences. Many have these types of experiences yet aren't able to integrate, let alone make useful. Lynn's life reflects a deep and investigative path without much direct experience of her own.
Lynn describes her experiences that lead her into a much broader understanding of the nature of our consciousness being able to experience reality in much different ways than most of us know. From the micro to the macro view of reality, Lynn relates her tutelage from sources unknown. She describes the difference between 'hearing' and 'knowing' in her being during certain events.
She relates that the experiences more often than not were frightening, due to the amount of responsibility that seemed to be present for her. It was overwhelming at first and without others to confer, it was a process of acquiescing to a greater understanding within. She often felt like she was just going back to school, though a much different school than we're used to.
The 'nothingness'.... What is it, really? Our conversation goes into many areas of life, love and the relationships we develop with ourselves, others and the world. Lynn relates some deeply impactful events that certainly lead to an expanded awareness and eventual comfortability with 'people from elsewhere;' across a plethora of places.
Lynn prompts Zen to relate his own reflection of an experience (OBE) in his quest for understanding the relationship of the 'trinity' across the realms of math, science and religion. His sharing has some truly expansive implications that seem to really make sense. Perhaps it will to you as well.
If you've had experiences that are 'out of this world' and have been hesitant to explore or investigate, this conversation will give you so many perspectives to view and relate to, perhaps, and help you to feel more grounded in the reality that these things actually do exist and are acceptable and valued for you and many others.
If this all sounds intriguing, then by all means do explore Lynn's work, her books and the ability she has of making that liminal space more real and understandable for others. We sorely need more dot-connectors across the myriad of interconnected experiences each of us are exploring.

We jump in the Wayback Machine, minus Peabody and Sherman, for a few moments in exploring Robert's early years in business and his family's challenges in continuing to grow the business. He introduces his awakening to a new way of being through Wayne Dyer's work.
Robert loves acronyms and shares several - DENIAL, 3D Thinking and how we tend to be self-limiting in our analysis paralysis. He talks about his 'catch up' work and create the skill set necessary to overcome his awareness of his shortcomings.
He reveals that he became a kind of floating university with his travels by including audio materials that he listened to nearly every spare moment. Robert speaks about the importance of eye contact (with a smile) in communication being critical to building effective relationships.
Zen hits the nail on the head, softly, with the reflection of Robert's wisdom in building a successful business being a result of where you put your attention, intention and interactions. Pay attention to the story of crossing the room.
What are your defining moments? Robert shares the many make-overs in re-inventing himself time and again as a serial entrepreneur as a young man and throughout his life. Robert also mentions an understanding that has some tenure in the networking field - your net worth is in a direct relationship to the value of your network.
Robert reflects the necessity of being leaders by example, and that this 'better way' will result in the transactions on both personal and professional levels. Perhaps these transactions will help to evolve our way of doing business and living together. We discuss the need for recognizing our stinking thinking and Robert mentions having a 37-year marriage with a brilliant woman that helps to reflect wisely when his thinking is awry. Shortly later we discuss the observance of breath to which his response edifies the practice of meditation and mindfulness.
The stumper: Is there a natural design embedded within us that is emerging now? He responds with the change in human behavior is a result of necessity. He doesn't look at barriers and boundaries, his desire to explore and understand cultures has taken him to 41 countries so far with a goal of 70 for he and his wife.
You'll want to pay particular attention to is his answer regarding the best methods of interacting with people on line today. How do you interact with your online contacts in building relationships? How do you provide value and service to your clients or contacts? Is it positive, significant and impactful for them?
At around the 53-minute mark Robert shares his recommendations for shifting our thinking. We explore a few tasty tidbits in developing awareness and building relationships. Robert stops Zen cold with a question, too.
In closing... become more conscious and aware of all the signs around you.

We dive into a laughter-filled excursion into the journey Seth's had to be able to respond to life smiling through the challenges we all face. Laughing in the face of tragedy does not deny the event at all, although some use it as a coping strategy. Not the case with Seth.
How do we deal with tragedy in life? What are some of the ways in which we can help others in process of life-threatening situations? How do we deal with the devastation of death? We all feel it in some way, and Seth highlights the individual journey through such events.
We talk about the process of writing and how it affects our lives and the personal growth and the accompanying catharsis in review of our work in progress. The SMILE acronym Seth uses references Dr. KĂźbler-Ross's work. Zen's tangential nature got inspired from Seth's comments about his process, edifying the nature of our shared journeys while adding some scenery.
Another acronym Seth takes advantage of is GRACE, which he unpacks in relationship to how we engage others in ways that are congruent in our personal evolutionary process the runs from lifting up to a release of tears. Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission and space to just allow the process. It's truly freeing.
What does ascending at the speed of surrender mean to you? What is your transformational process? Do you have one. Seth shares his awareness of his methods and passion that has worked for his clients and benefited him as well. He shares the way in which he's learned how to work with the inner imagery and senses that help him to serve his clients.
Seth also brings up the notion of plant medicine and how beneficial it is, yet how often it isn't treated with the respect it deserves. He offers some essential clues about their use. Can other rituals or process offer similar results? Seth shares a technique that's he's been working with recently. You can tell Zen loves the conversation as a way to corroborate many of the lines of understanding that converge in the healing process on our way to finding wholeness. You'll do well to listen to the entire conversation and the tasty tidbits sprinkled along the transformational trail.
One of the things we are learning to accept as additional help is the notion of mediumship and that it does have practical applications. Reach out and connect with Seth if you find his work appealing. Seth's parting offering to help with the development of intuition is precious.

You'll want to take notes on this apocalyptic chat as it is full of comparative ideas and resources to explore. Dr. Zabiegalski began his interest in human dynamics and questioning how we work together better from his own quest for such. His experience and expertise at high-level consulting and strategic management offers another perspective of how business and human interaction evolve.
The development of the learning organization philosophy from Senge's work as well as Tom Campbell. Eric speaks of feeling like an imposter as a right-brained thinking in a left-brained world. How is this an important aspect of how we distinguish between our emotional/intellectual 'home room' and what we need to do for the greater good? How do you perceive 'exploitation' and 'exploration' as processes in your business or life?
Eric has explored research and personal experience in developing an understanding of the 'ambidextrous organization.' Ever heard of the corpus collasum? The conversation about it will expand your view of how our brains work. The exploration of masculine and feminine cranial comparison is exquisite. What about the outlier aspects in functionality?
How do we embrace and engage diversity? Are we missing the benefit of minds we've considered to be on the fringe of cognitive abilities? How do you surf the perfect wave in your quest for balance and functionality, let alone survival and thrivability in the world? Where is your attitude toward divergent thinking - diversity and learning development - that balance of what matters. How do you acknowledge the 're-union' of genders in a movement toward balance?
You don't often hear a strategist and senior consultant speak toward energy and quantum physics, let alone the aspects of human dynamics in emotional and intellectual performance. Can these ideas, notions and practical applications help us in creating the 'great weset' or 'new normal' in this transcendent event period now. How comfortable are you in ambiguity?
Our conversation evolves into the nature of asking questions. Eric's status as certified coach and board member of the World Institute for Action Learning provides great insight and understanding into developing questions that lead us to solutions across a plethora of practical applications. You'll enjoy the applicable advances in the conversation on the rise of the ambidextrous organization and the ability of empowering the self-alignment of people, places and things.
Is there 'One Energy' that drives our bus and our choices are what manages the manifestation of flow in our lives? If you've wondered about the nature of consciousness and the magic of observing, connecting and implementing better application of your internal software, Eric has a wonderful expression of an overview of our cranial activity that's gotten us to this state of our evolution.
How do we proceed? Listen in to our exploration for keen insight and paradigm shifting moments. Thanks for your view and for further information on Eric and his work...

And now for something completely different, truly... Imagine if you were able to gracefully get through the things that are difficult for you. We'll explore how neuroscience relationship strategy ignites the mind's ability to cognate and coagulate.
What if you were able to communicate with realms others don't experience, let alone even know exist? How would that ability function in the world today? What if you were able to learn how to use them in practical and pragmatic ways? Our guest has done so and offers guidance for many.
Octavia and Zen leap into a world unknown to many, yet experienced by a growing number of people as they develop their own self-awareness and begin to ask questions about reality. Highly sensitive people have learned how to create bridges between personal and professional worlds. How can those sensitivities be developed and understood better?
What are the questions you are asking about the reality you're experiencing? How simple or complex are they? Octavia shares some great considerations for how we move through those items. We switch from the personal to the professional: How does this ability affect the way we do business? Do we overthink or acquiesce to inner awareness that's not always easy to articulate?
Octavia's work with entrepreneurs includes a variety of activity to utilize the full sensory experience of working toward goals and objectives and using the mind in more effective and efficient ways. How do these kinds of skillsets operate in entrepreneurial, company or corporate culture? Can the left and right brain work in harmony and in conscious activity that promotes it?
"Everything is consciousness, especially with people involved," Octavia responds. Zen does a few spins of his own to relate and corroborate what Octavia expresses from her own experience. Her references are exquisite in this apocalyptic chat and you will absolutely enjoy the deep dive down the rabbit hole that has profound possibilities for YOU.
What are the possibilities coming out of Covid and co-creating a 'new normal,' as we move forward? How does she help entrepreneurs to achieve agility in the process? Is it about questions, mental health or learning about self first without the constraints of labels or diagnosis?
Our conversation moves into incredible insights and observation about life, love and the negotiation of details and events to achieve success. We cite a plethora of references and personal insights that offers a shift in paradigms on multiple levels.

Are we coming out of or going into? Who's leading us? How are they leading us? Are they trustworthy? What are the signs of trustworthiness? How does that affect our lives?
My conversation with Michell Levy takes us down the rabbit hole of credibility. He's a Global Credibility Expert, according to his branding. What's credibility to you? You'll want to watch the entire interview because it has excellent points for showing up better in life sprinkled throughout. Is you business compass aligned with your customer's point of pain?
Mitchell describes his journey through his own transformation in business, developing the presence of a Global Credibility Expert. He shares a litany of interesting statistics that reflect what credible people do and how the show up. Where are you in the mix? Mitchell unpacks what it really means to be credible, to get noticed and to achieve being seen.
Ever thought of doing a TED Talk? He's done two and shares his learning between the two, capping a 30+ year process that was powerful for him. Perhaps it will be for you as well. His sharing of bits of wisdom and our exchanges deepen the conversation and its reflections of practical application. How do you get to know whether a person is credible or not?
There's some notions of getting to know, like and trust. Mitchell speaks to the aspects of each from his research. How can we grow together through learning to coach and be coached? Are coaching moments necessary?
You'll find many tasty tidbits, nuggets of notable knowledge we don't often consider regarding traditional thought processes that have inherently diminished our capacity for credibility.

From Mitchell... "I've been interviewed by over 300 podcasters in the last couple years and I have to say that Zen stands out as a beacon of purpose. He came prepared by researching ahead of time, and at the same time was open to the flow of the conversation and asked some amazingly cool questions that no one of his peers ever did. He's smart, articulate, thoughtful and purposeful. If you are asked to be interviewed by him or are looking for someone to work with who does work that's not the norm, that's above and beyond your expectations, reach out to Zen." ____________________________________________________________________________________________

We take a deep dive into the sensemaking of design and strategy starting with reminiscing college days at Ball State University. Both of us had similar 'awakenings' that changed our outlook on life. Brady Mick is on sabbatical currently from strategic design and planning, having been a facilitator of process and workplace design.
His passion for co-creating cohesion in customer/vendor/production environments brought much sensemaking to his practice. Then a strange thing happen. He followed his gut feeling that he needed a change and left a leading education and workplace design and thought leadership firm. Although the workplace was a great experience, he felt there was still something more and took a leap of faith to find out.
Our chat explores the trending of organizational development that is springing from the archaic notions of the greats from the era of assembly and production. We explore the new(er) notions of sensemaking and emergence of real innovation in the co-creation of new agile systems within organizations.
Bringing the younger generation on board, Brady speaks to a surprising realization from observing his teenage son playing video games. Most of us are bereft of solutions for engaging teens beyond the gaming lifestyle they have today, often affecting school performance negatively. He sees something beyond that and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the re-framing.
This was a most enjoyable conversation that you'll enjoy, a real-life exploration of things that matter to all of us from personal growth to family to building community. What really is the 'age of enlightenment' as it relates to the evolution of humanity now? Are we moving into, as Brady calls it, the 'age of intuition.'
From Brady... I am designing my future. In this new reality, I imagine that: âStatus quoâ is a creative challenge Divergent and new ideas are welcome Work process is for people to produce results in a positive experience Purposeful design requires deep thinking Teams are built on a strengths-based philosophy Innovation is valued as equal to collaboration Learning is currency The future has meaning and purpose.

Brady's Reflection: Zen is a rare spirit in pursuit of the higher value understanding we all need to thrive. Zen moves with confidence and insight thought the ethereal and the practical to achieve actionable knowledge. Zen had read widely in the plethora of thought offered to each of us, and has thought deeply about the meaning, value and beauty of what he has discovered. What a joy to work with him to build wisdom; the type of wisdom that brings pleasure to the struggles often faced in a business life. I recommend connecting with Zen and participating in his passion for connecting us to the next level evolution/revolution in our culture.

Our conversation spins and twirls in the dance of the making sense humorously. We discuss his early comedic upbringing and surviving in Brooklyn. Then, onto his participation in creating an alternative school in Washington DC during the 60s. The circuity of comedy and conversation takes us through sharing sacred space in truth telling as well. Swami ultimately pronounces an upwising in the awareness of Americans toward the Heartland and our part in the Great Weset.
Steve Bhaerman is an internationally known author, humorist, and workshop leader. For the past 29 years, he has written and performed as Swami Beyondananda, the "Cosmic Comic." Swami's comedy has been called "irreverently uplifting" and has been described both as "comedy disguised as wisdom" and "wisdom disguised as comedy."
the Swami, Steve is the author of Driving Your Own Karma (1989), When You See a Sacred Cow, Milk It For All It's Worth (1993), Duck Soup for the Soul (1999) and Swami for Precedent: A 7-Step Plan to Heal the Body Politic and Cure Electile Dysfunction (2004).
In his "past life" (before Swami), Steve started an alternative high school in Washington, D.C. and co-authored a book about his experiences, No Particular Place to Go: Making of a Free High School. A political science major, he later taught history to autoworkers at Wayne State University in Detroit as part of the Weekend College. In 1980, Steve co-founded Pathways Magazine in Ann Arbor, Michigan, one of the first publications bringing together holistic health, personal growth, spirituality, and politics. Subsequent to Pathways, Steve was a freelance writer and co-author with Don McMillan of Friends and Lovers: How to Meet the People You Want to Meet (Writer's Digest Books, 1986).
Since 2005, Steve has written a political blog with a spiritual perspective, Notes From the Trail, hailed as an encouraging voice "in the bewilderness." His latest book, written with cellular biologist Bruce H. Lipton, PhD is Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here (Hay House, 2009). Steve is active in transpartisan politics and the practical application of Spontaneous Evolution.
Steve currently helps comedians and non-comedians alike bring more joy and playfulness into their work, communicate more effectively through humor, and "humorize" their message. He continues to travel the US and the world performing cosmic comedy in his Swami persona.

I invite a legend in the training industry, Jim Britt, to share his own awakening process and tasty tidbits of transcendence. Jim describes a process he went through while living in Sedona, where he had his own apocalypse. His story reflects an old saying I love. âNo matter how far you have gone on the wrong road, turn back.â â Turkish proverb.
Jim looks into what being resourceful means and has a very interesting story about his learning process about it. Listen in to experience an accelerated learning curve with what Jim shares. His discovery and questions that evolved are compelling, involving the 'S' section of a very old dictionary in the UK. You'll enjoy the response from me with a similar dictionary story.
What about the programming we live by? How deep does it go? Jim shares about a woman who changes her life in a matter of hours by just changing how she thinks, with support. What kind of support are you getting? Is it for you benefit or detriment?
Spirituality, the Law of Attraction, the Sedona Method et al; move one to a higher level of acceptance and non-attachment. We chat about the apocalyptic moments of realization and the effect of changing your mindset and 'letting go.' Do you have an observer?
What would you ask millionaires or billionaires? Imagine if you had the opportunity. How are we coming out of Covid, Jim? Can we be more caring and compassionate toward one another? Looking back in order to glean the best experiences you've had, including mentors, what do you need to bring back today in order to co-create your 'new normal' today?
Diving further, how do you handle your beliefs? Listen to Jim's question to the Dalai Lama. We further explore how we interact with each other, the challenges we meet and how we overcome them. Perhaps you'll hear something that makes a difference for you. Thanks for the view.

Remember to subscribe! The wisdom of our elders is often diminished by their inability to share and our unwillingness to listen. Erica's life story is profound and our journey through the travesty to triumph of a holocaust survivor to her inspirationally-filled lifestyle today as a fearless example for others is replete with tasty tidbits of transcendence she shares here. She's bright and unabashed in her tales of transcendence.
Zen's conversational dance delivers diverse perspectives from Dr. Erica Miller's life story. The horrifying reality of her presence during the holocaust and the imagery she still carries is significant to her passion and purpose now. This octogenarian is still full of life and love for helping others and anticipates living to be well over 100.
As a clinical psychologist, our chat engages her perspectives and perceptions of how a fearless approach to life virtually eliminates destructive behavior patterns. The intertwining of passion and purpose bring the opportunities to share a greater confidence and inspiration for her audiences and example of a connected life. At 88 she continues to travel the world to deliver impactful and life-changing messages.
After four years of indescribable oppression and deprivation, Erica, her parents, and her sister were liberated by the Russians. Erica had no formal education while in the concentration camp. Entering school for first time at age 11 (or fifth grade), she quickly learned the basics of reading, writing and math. Much to the surprise, and in some cases chagrin, of her teachers and classmates, she excelled at all three.
In 1970, Erica returned to school and eight years later, graduated with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Shortly afterwards, leveraging her unparalleled drive and her husbandâs keen marketing skills, they opened a chain of mental health clinics throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. In addition, they ran California Diversion Intervention Foundation, a non-profit organization, offering programs to serve the needs of the substance abuse and domestic violence population referred by the Courts.
Today, in addition to public speaking, Dr. Miller oversees her familyâs real estate business in Austin, Texas.
Sheâs written three books: âThe Dr. Erica Miller Story: From Trauma to Triumph,â https://amzn.to/36oCRjg
âDonât Tell Me I Canât Do It: Living Audaciously in the Here and Nowâ https://amzn.to/3hto3pU

Make sure to subscribe! Zen climbs in the cabin with another coagulator of possibility who's brought delight and excitement to many by sharing their articles and stories on the BizCatalyst360.com website, as well as other social media platforms. It is an award-winning platform, though the guy behind it is certainly much more than just a publisher. Listen in...
Dennis and his wife enjoyed great careers. Dennis traveled the world for his position in the banking industry for a couple of decades, then decided to give back. They were in position to give back in a magnificent way, building 360° Nation into an ad-free reservoir of great authors from all over the world with over 26,000 articles to date.
His attitude and candor, support of humanity's next steps toward harmony, is replete with demonstrating the best in humanity.... giving back.
Itâs time for a renaissance of pure, unbridled wonder. Itâs time to renew in both our hearts and in our souls more joy, more kindness, more compassion, more understanding. And that magical sense of truly belonging to something greater than the status quo. The time is long overdue for a paradigm shift, pivoting from where we are to where many of us simply wish to be.
The time is now to come together as a thriving âconscious communityâ where people are bound together by choice ânot chance nor edict âremaining together because they want to. Because they embrace and enjoy listening, respecting, empathizing, and supporting without judgment. A community where they feel welcome and safe. Where authentic relationships can be counted on without hesitation or reservation.
Itâs time to bring the spirit of âhumanity at its bestâ back to the forefront. Come along as we reimagine the spirit of humanity at its very best under the universal umbrella of 360° Nation.

Make sure you subscribe, please! Zen crosses the pond virtually, engaging in a conversation about regenerative development with Anton Chernikov, an architect entrepreneur who is building businesses at the intersection of real estate, technology, sustainability, food and education. Enjoy the conversation!
Anton asked this question about the future with so many remote workers not being satisfied with their living environments: How do we kickstart a regenerative recovery and village building movement across the UK?
Anton shares his vision for building regenerative villages in the UK. He will be sharing the key insights from his whitepaper (https://hotspaces.org/whitepaper) and discussing the importance of rural-urban partnership.
Anton and others are designing and developing a multi-generational cohousing model that can provide an affordable and transformational place to live for young families and older generations. Through sharing resources we can make life easier, healthier, happier and much more magical.
Their goal is to start by renting and renovating existing buildings and offering temporary seasonal co-living and co-working. This will enable us to test the waters, nurture local relationships and co-create a collective vision and blueprint for the village that works for everyone.
Co-Founder of Re:Build - Regenerative Community Building festivals, he hopes to create a global resource for engagement. His team are building a collective of people and organizations who share our passion for regenerative design and community-led property development.
Their vision is to enable the co-creation of a network of rural and urban multi-use spaces, that inspire more regenerative ways of living and working.

Make sure you subscribe, please! Mansi Kakkar is a Pattern Transcriber, Mindset Weaver and Warrior Goddess in modern times with her work in Regenerative Design & Innovation, Human & Planet Centered Design, Systems Catalyst, and Network & Community Weaver across a variety of personal and professional endeavors.
Zen leaps into the liminal space with Mansi, revealing a mutual comfort level of exploration in the thoughtmosphere. The journey will take you through multiple levels of self-revealing insight and understanding, the process of garnering self-awareness. Unexpected levels of vulnerability become present as the sharing of stories move from empathic to generative listening.
The conversation style of Zen's interviews are unique in their ability to draw out significant aspects of developing awareness and shared sensemaking. Making sense common is the challenge in building community.
Mansi brings her dynamic and unique understanding of building community and the relationships that empower it into a lively conversation about life, love and understanding of the transition from Profit over People and Planet to People and Planet over Profit.
Apocalyptic chats begin with finding a common space and general notions of a shared reality. The conversation deepens through the willingness to explore and even share aspects of vulnerability that strengthen the authenticity of being transparent.
Mansi shares what it was like growing up in India and how her unique insight and vision led to her ability to help transform lives and organizations. We discuss how early learning and traumatic events often rule our lives until we become conscious of choice in how we become present and move forward in our relationships to each other and life. Mansi shares how she was able to move beyond the pain of trauma and become an instrument of innovation.

From Mansi: Zen is a catalyst for transforming conversations. He is a connector for the leaders of social transformation. He brings a deep sense of curiosity, a wealth of knowledge and understanding, but what truly sets him apart is his vulnerability. His ability to sink deep into himself and bring the treasures that he has found to others in service. If you need a bridge builder between science and spirituality to navigate complexity - he is your person.

Zen opens a door to a deeper conversation about career changes and personal passions with Michelle Holliday, author and regenerative practitioner, who had a successful career in brand strategy, working for Coca-Cola and H.J. Heinz. You'll love the experience and wisdom shared by a career woman who converted her skillset to helping individuals and organizations thrive. You'll love the conversation of how she turned into a regenerative practitioner.
According to Michelle, working for corporate concerns eventually felt empty. She moved on to employee engagement and consulted in the Washington, D.C. area, then felt drawn into the Art of Housing community of practice. Globetrotting, living 19 cities, including Moscow, London, Paris, New York and a small town in Scotland, sheâs brought her combination of skillsets to her home base in Montreal and engages the world from there.
Her research, perspectives and practical experience are brought together in the highly acclaimed book, The Age of Thrivability: Vital Perspectives and Practices for a Better World, as well as in a popular TEDx talk and an online slideshow with close to 65,000 views. She also publishes reflections regularly in her blog, Thoughts on Thrivability, and on social media.
Our discussion takes a unique course through her inner experience of feeling the disconnections in the existing corporate cultures, so much so that is affected her physical being. She speaks of how she learned to grow through it, researching the bodyâs physiology and neuroplasticity and the natural or universal patterns that imbue life with a different, more resonance and harmonious, experience.
We discuss the practicality of modern scientific discoveries aligning with the ancient spiritual teachings. We finish with a personal practice which can be used daily to connect more deeply to life and relationships.

From Michelle: "I've known Zen for years, though at something of a distance. It was clear from the beginning that he had a keen intellect, an avid curiosity, and a delight in life. The more I've gotten to know him, the more impressed I've been with his depth and breadth of knowledge across a wide range of disciplines. And as we've engaged more actively and directly in recent months, I've discovered what a joy it is to be in collaborative conversation with him, learning together along the way. Zen is a special breed of wayfinder and a wise soul."

Make sure you subscribe, please! Zen dives into a discussion about harmony with self, others and nature with Dr. Robert Gilman, an astrophysicist, sustainability pioneer and someone who most definitely qualifies as a cultural âchange-agentâ. For over 30 years he's been on a mission to help communities around the world understand cultural transitions and encourages everyone to embody practices that will lead to a humane and sustainable future. He feels we are all planetary midwives in the era of change.
Our apocalyptic conversation engages systems thinking, reticence to move on to 'what's next' and the patterns, sequences and observation of an evolving civilization. Robert speaks to the bridge from being where we are to being where we want to go by making existing models, those impeding and imposing unnecessary patterns and systems, obsolete. His work offers a way to explore a way through our current dilemmas with his Bright Future course.
One phrase that stood out regarding the emerging future, Robert speaks of 'Covid the Destroyer, Covid the Illuminator, and Covid the Accelerator. He feels the faster we understand and move toward harmony within ourselves, harmony with others and harmony with Nature, the faster we'll co-create and realize a better world. He offers a unique exercise that might help your ability to be present and available for learning how to play better with each other.
