Lately, I’ve been immersed in the writing of Charles Eisenstein, a contemporary writer/thinker who is a leader in the effort to shift humanity into a new way of being — a fundamental change in consciousness so that we finally acknowledge our inherent unity with nature and each other. Charles is probably most well known for…

The Whole World Is a Very Narrow Bridge
In my last newsletter, I spoke about the pervasiveness of fear and greed as forces that foment destruction in our world. I also asked whether some kind of awareness can deliver us from this fate. When I think about my current state of mind and that of most people I know, words come to mind…
Can Awareness Trump Fear and Greed?
Part 1: The Autism Epidemic
April is Autism Awareness month, so what better time than now to talk about the subject of awareness in general and the ever increasing incidence of autism in particular?

ThanksGiving Is Precisely What the American Soul Needs
Is it more than coincidence that the quintessential American holiday — Thanksgiving — represents, at a deep level, precisely what the American people now so direly need in order to heal their souls? I think not. Think about it. Today, Western culture, and especially American culture, revolves around cultivating and enshrining a chronic attitude of…
LifePod: A Vehicle for Cultural Evolution
Two years ago, as I was mulling over the growing crisis of climate change, I realized that the only way we were going to have a desirable outcome was if we could inspire most young people to care and do something about it. And the only way that was going to happen was if most…
Check out my conversation with Charles Eisenstein!
Earlier this year, I found out about the work of brilliant thinker and writer, Charles Eisenstein. Quickly realizing that we were converging on similar ideas, I wrote to him and told him about my book Active Consciousness. Although he had not heard of it, I was super excited to hear that he knew all about…
