Does fascism have appeal today?
Rachel Mann, PhD interviews Martin Winiecki, a lifelong sacred activist for peace, about his understanding of the great shift we are going through, including how and why at this time fascism has such appeal. Martin talks about the way people feel isolated and unable to show their authentic experience and their grief so they look towards leaders and movements that will give them a sense of this lost belonging. He discusses the fact that the system of patriarchy, white supremacism, and capitalism is dying.
Martin enjoins us to gather together to hospice modernity through this transition by gathering together in transformational communities to imagine new possibilities and new ways of being together. He discusses how we can shift the psycho-social force field that entrains us into this old system through healing, addressing trauma in safe spaces, and through connection with the Earth. He gives a message of hope from a younger generation who are carrying forward the work that was started in the Countercultural Revolution.
Martin Winiecki was born in Dresden, Germany in 1990. He has been politically engaged since his early youth. He completed a 3-year training in peace studies at the Tamera Institute in Portugal. Since 2013, he has led the Institute for Global Peacework to help establish a global network for Tamera, networking, campaigning, organizing international events and providing online education. His writings have been published in Kosmos Journal, TruthOut, CommonDreams, and Tikkun. Since 2017, he’s been engaged in raising the Defend the Sacred Alliance together with with Indigenous, social movement and intentional community leaders from around the world.

We are at the threshold of extinction. Dr. Glen Martin, author of the book The Earth Constitution and Dr. Kurt Johnson discuss how human beings are in serious overshoot and faced with our own possible extinction.
Our intelligence and ability to comprehend this situation gives us hope that we can make the transition to a planetary species and in this way overcome destruction of the climate leading to our own extinction.
But our history of identification with the clan, the tribe, the narrow religion, or the sovereign nation, makes most people unable to see the big picture, to realize the immense danger that confronts us and to change their behavior from narrow identifications to a global regime of cooperation, harmony and sustainability.
Our moment is a threshold moment. We must make the change effectively and rapidly on all levels, including government and economics, or we will simply go dark as a failure within this vast cosmos. The Earth Constitution is a powerful beacon pointing in the right direction.
Dr. Kurt Johnson has worked in professional science and comparative religion for over 40 years and serves on many international committees, particularly at the United Nations. As part of UNITY EARTH he co-edits its two magazines: The Convergence and Light on Light, and co-hosts its Convergence series on VoiceAmerica. In comparative culture and religion Kurt was on the faculty of New York City’s One Spirit Interfaith Seminary for 12 years and is the co-author of the very influential 2013 book on the future of world religions: The Coming Interspiritual Age. lightonlight.us
Dr. Glen T. Martin is professor of philosophy Emeritus at Radford University in Virginia. He is President of the World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA) and Executive Director of the Earth Constitution Institute (EC). His newest book called The Earth Constitution Solution: Design for a Living Planet examines the global environmental crisis in depth along with the world system causing this crisis. It shows how the Earth Constitution addresses this crisis in all its multiple dimensions. https://earthconstitution.world/

We have a crisis of selfhood going on in today’s world.
Dr. Glen Martin and Dr. Rashid Shaz discuss how social media has helped dissolve our traditional sense of self and has propelled us into a “post-truth world.” In Islam it is revelations from God that bring us from the darkness (of lack of truth and coherent selfhood) into the light.
The Earth Constitution is about the common good and the Quran affirms all efforts to establish a common good for humanity. The vision behind the Constitution is one of a transformed future predicated on the preciousness of each and the good of all. Hence, it is a prophetic document consistent with Islam and should be supported.
Dr. Rashid Shaz is an ISESCO Ambassador for Dialogue of Culture among Civilizations and a professor of English at the Aligarh Muslim University, India. Dr. Shaz is considered as one of the foremost ideologues of living Islam both in India and abroad. He has extensively delivered talks on various aspects of Islam in the Muslim world, Europe and America. Some of his writings have sparked serious debates on issues of strategic importance. His major published works include Islam: Another Chance?

What are the implications of a planet that has gone global in economics, communications, and socially in many ways? How has globalization changed the face of civilization? What are its threats and opportunities?
Dr. Alexander Chumakov and Glen Martin author of The Earth Constitution Solution, talk about the phenomenon of globalization, an area in which Dr. Chumakov is an expert.
They discuss how insulated cultures and nations have suddenly become neighbors with the globalization of transport and communications, and the world has become very small. People have not adapted to this new reality and continue to cling to fragmented ideas of who they are in their disparate communities.
This is a major problem causing such phenomena as astronomical war expenditures that take away from out ability to deal with other global problems like climate crisis. A Constitution for the Federation of Earth would be a great gift to humanity toward solving all these problems.
Aleksandr Nikolayevich Chumakov is professor of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, editor-in-chief of the Age of Globalization Journal, member of the Presidium of the Russian Ecological Academy, member of the Board of AIPPh (Association Internationale des Professeurs de Philosophie). General Secretary of the Philosophical Society of the USSR (1987-1991); First Vice President of the Russian Philosophical Society (1991-2020). Participant and the leader of sections and round tables on global studies at the XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI, XXII, XXIII and XXIV World Philosophical Congresses.

Dr. Glen Martin, author of The Earth Constitution Solution discusses with Nina Meyerhof the principle that we must move from “I to we to one.” This is the course of conscious evolution in which each person is first and foremost responsible for his or her own growth from I to we to one. Secondly, we are all the same, deeply the same in spite of individual uniqueness, and we must actualize and live according to that sameness. The crisis of our age they state is that we resist this movement from I to we to one. The change will come from the ground up—people are rapidly changing—and yet changing the institutions will itself help in the process of moving to planetary oneness. Top down and bottom up must have this kind of reciprocity. That is why we need the Earth Constitution which is the planetary “gold standard” for what we are trying to achieve. Nina Meyerhof has made a life of advocating for children and youth. As her vocation, she served as the Special Education Coordinator for a ten–school district in southern Vermont. Dr. Meyerhof has extensive background in the needs of all children, with Master of Arts degrees in both Special Education and in Counseling and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Psychology. She also holds a doctorate in Educational Policy, Research, and Administration from the University of Massachusetts, where she developed a self-esteem model to be used in schools. A co-author of Conscious Education: The Bridge to Freedom, she is recognized as an innovative educator committed to global responsibility through authentic learning. Having received many awards for her work from The Mother Theresa Award to the Citizen’s Department of Peace Award to the International Educators Award for Peace, Nina continues daily to focus on altering world views for creating a better future.

Dr. Glen Martin, author of The Earth Constitution Solution discusses with Rev. Laura M. George, J.D. our planetary crisis through the lens of Spiral Dynamics. They state that people around the world are operating at different levels of consciousness from very primitive power and authority based consciousness to “pluralistic” consciousness in which they are advanced beyond ethnocentric narrowness but still not advanced to a “second tier” consciousness capable of seeing the dynamics of the whole and advancing its own evolution consciously. It may be that an advanced consciousness of only 10% of the world’s population will be sufficient to make the great transition—a transition that must and should include ratification of the Earth Constitution. Rev. Laura M. George, J.D. is a retired attorney and Executive Director of The Oracle Institute, a 501(c)(3) educational charity. She received her undergraduate degree in Commerce from the University of Virginia, her law degree from Boston University, and her ministerial training through the interfaith Order of Melchizedek.
The Oracle Institute serves as an “Advocate for Peace and a Vanguard for Conscious Evolution,” and its formal mission statement is Thomas Jefferson’s Act for Religious Freedom. Oracle operates as a spiritual think-tank and studies the nexus between religion, politics, human rights, and conscious evolution. Rev. George often writes about the “Trickle-Down Deity Theory,” which posits that humanity’s view of the Godhead necessarily defines all cultural experience. She is the author of the award-winning Oracle Trilogy: The Truth, The Love, and The Light. www.TheOracleInstitute.org.
At the Peace Pentagon in Independence, Virginia, Rev. George oversees Oracle’s award-winning publishing house, multi-faith spirituality school, and international peacebuilding practice. www.PeacePentagon.net.

George.

Dr. Glen Martin, author of The Earth Constitution Solution discusses with David Gallup, President and General Counsel of the World Service Authority the development of world law by developing customs and traditions that embody an emerging sense of democratic world law applying to everyone. The World Service Authority that David heads issues identity papers to people around the world that give them a legal status they otherwise would lack, yet the WSA is not a government but one dimension of emerging world law. The same reasoning applies to those operating under the Constitution for the Federation of Earth. David Gallup specializes in human rights, world citizenship and world law education.

On this episode, I share a chapter from a powerful book that helped me tremendously on my healing journey called, Waking the Tiger - Healing Trauma written by Peter A. Levine. It is one of the most thorough books I've read on the subject, and it offers practical mind body exercises to assist you in unraveling and releasing pain. I pray you receive something beautiful and empowering from it.
Nature's Lessons in Healing Trauma...
Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed.
Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The reader is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.

"Addictions are just a by product of having suffered so much pain, especially as children."
Aurora Esmeralda grew up feeling sad, alone, confused and unsafe. The sex trauma she endured at the age of four left a wound that manifested into a variety of addictions, diseases, and disorders, which included bulimia and stage three breast cancer. It also lead to promiscuity and associating love with sex.
Determined to take back her wholeness and wellness, she leaned on yoga and the healing power of food to restore her mind, body, heart and soul. Now she passionately shares her knowledge and wisdom with those who are also seeking to live vibrantly, authentically, and abundantly.

Aurora Esmeralda is a certified Plant-Based Nutritionist, Yoga Instructor and Transformational Wellness Coach from Los Angeles, California. She started her incredible health journey as a child. Trauma, as we now know, is the gateway for most disorders and health issues.
After an abusive and neglectful childhood, Esmeralda battled an eating disorder for most of her teenage years and young adult life, as well as depression.
There were a number of times in Esmeralda’s life where she reached breaking point. She tried to commit suicide at 16, she went to rehab for bulimia at 23 and then the final straw was the devastating news that she had breast cancer when she was only 25 years old.
Instead of succumbing to the news and the disease, she took herself away and went on a journey involving the mind, body and the soul. She changed her diet to a raw food diet, she cleaned up her household products, she realized how much of a toxic world we live in and did everything in her power to fight against it and reclaim her body.
Her methodology worked. She went back 2 months later to see her oncologist and they were shocked. The tumor had disappeared completely. She removed herself from the western medical system and continued to self treat using food as medicine and yoga as her methodology for the mind and the soul.
She has been helping clients all over the world heal from serious and chronic life threatening conditions through her methodology of plant-based eating and stress reduction and body repair work through yoga practice.

The Absolute Alchemist, Vanessa Eans shares the horrific childhood she endured because of the sexual abuse by her father and other men. Vanessa internalized her rage and anger which led to a destructive lifestyle. Yet despite the internal hell and chaos she grew up in, she says "the voice" of spirit always guided and protected her. As a mother Vanessa was determined to protect her children from having to face the same abuse, but still her worst nightmare came to fruition. It was in the midst of this that Vanessa began to truly heal the darkness of her trauma that still lived within. "I think it's crucial that we're able to actually talk about our trauma without guilt, shame, judgment and condemnation... It's important to transmute our pain and regain our sovereignty." FB: https://www.facebook.com/theabsolutealchemist Meet Vanessa Eans: I have always known Spirit. We have communicated since I was very young. Spirit has and is always revealing the truth of Oneness with God within All of Humanity. Honestly I spent many years resisting this truth due to pain, and in that I excluded myself and others. Wounds that another caused me and wounds I caused another. I've been broken many, many times. Yet Spirit would never let me just sit, withdrawn, wounded and quiet no matter how much I wanted to. Spirit would heal me and each time I would get more sensitive to another's suffering. Be it through visions, feeling, sensing or knowing...Spirit would nudge and sometimes push me ('cause I can be ahem a lil stubborn) to connect to another to get a message to them to connect them to God. I guess I finally wizened up to my calling 'cause here I Am...broken OPEN! My function in this realm is to be a channeler (or conduit) of communications from the spirit realm.
As a young child Shavannah Speaks Moore was violated and stripped of her innocence. She didn't know the anger, shame, and pain she repressed from her childhood trauma was impacting her adversely as an adult. "It tarnished my mindset. It tarnished me as a girl, and as a woman." On this episode of The Sacral Circle, she shares with host Janie Terrazas how she reclaimed her voice and her power. Against the odds she reached international success professionally, yet she still suffered from depression. Her determination to discover why she couldn't be at peace despite her blessings, jump started her healing journey. Writing was her saving grace. Her book has inspired and empowered women around the world to heal the wounds that keep them from BOLDLY manifesting a more fulfilling lifestyle.

Come into harmony in your life.
Jennifer Gehl tunes us into Astro-Sound which combines the wisdom of astrology with the power of sound to tune individuals to their divine purpose.
The “doctrine of signatures” states that “nature marks each growth according to its curative benefits”. Humans also have a signature, represented by the natal chart. The purpose of Astro-Sound recordings is to restore to wholeness the parts of Self that feel dissonance or do not easily find expression. When all parts are restored to balance and harmony, we quite literally “re-member” who we are.
Jennifer Gehl is the author of two books on planetary science: The Return of Planet Sedna: Astrology, Healing and the Awakening of Cosmic Kundalini, as well as The Science of Planetary Signatures in Medicine: Restoring the Cosmic Foundations of Healing with Marc S. Micozzi, MD. Jennifer combines her background in astrology, Acutonics, and graduate studies in Oriental Medicine to inspire new awareness of the human-cosmic connection.

James Redfield, author of the NY Times BestSeller The Celestine Prophecy discusses in depth the first three of the twelve insights from the Celestine books.

The World Has a Spiritual Design - James frames for us an evolutionary look at the choices humans have made that led us away and now back to spiritual consciousness. 3. Giving as Part of Karmic Design - how the energy of giving is critical to the Consciousness we hold and the great divide occurring between givers and takers in the world today.
