A rigorous, skeptical, deeply reported look at the new science behind the mind's surprising ability to heal the body. Have you ever felt a surge of adrenaline after narrowly avoiding an accident? Salivated at the sight (or thought) of a sour lemon? Felt turned on just from hearing your partner's voice? If so, then you've experienced how dramatically the workings of your mind can affect your body. Yet while we accept that stress or anxiety can damage our health, the idea of "healing thoughts" was long ago hijacked by New Age gurus and spiritual healers. Recently, however, serious scientists from a range of fields have been uncovering evidence that our thoughts, emotions and beliefs can ease pain, heal wounds, fend off infection and heart disease and even slow the progression of AIDS and some cancers. In Cure, award-winning science writer Jo Marchant travels the world to meet the physicians, patients and researchers on the cutting edge of this new world of medicine. We learn how meditation protects against depression and dementia, how social connections increase life expectancy and how patients who feel cared for recover from surgery faster. We meet Iraq war veterans who are using a virtual arctic world to treat their burns and children whose ADHD is kept under control with half the normal dose of medication. We watch as a transplant patient uses the smell of lavender to calm his hostile immune system and an Olympic runner shaves vital seconds off his time through mind-power alone. Drawing on the very latest research, Marchant explores the vast potential of the mind's ability to heal, lays out its limitations and explains how we can make use of the findings in our own lives. With clarity and compassion, Cure points the way towards a system of medicine that treats us not simply as bodies but as human beings.

The absolute key that we see in all of the research is when you shift your focus away from yourself. So it's not about you, it's about other people. What can you do to help? We see this in social connection in the research of that as well. To build social connections, you have to stop thinking about what you're going to get from a social interaction and start thinking about what you can give to that interaction. So if you start small and just think, Where can I help? What can I do? It doesn't have to be an immediate mission straight away, but just those small little actions of focusing away from yourself, looking at where you can actually help someone else and give something to an interaction. I think that the mission and the purpose will follow from there.

There's something else that once you're paying attention, what you think is your intuition, is just your logic. In my case, that was what my logic was telling me "You can't do that". My insecurities flared up, asking "What do you know about this? You don't know anything about it?" And yeah, I didn't know anything because I've never done it before. But now I do. I've been doing it for two years and it's been great. I mean, I'm learning every day and that's amazing. I'm serving girls. Do your best to deal with your doubts. It's like I want to know what's next. And I want to have a book with all the answers. Then I remember there's no book, there's no right answers. There's only one little step that you take and another little step, and then more steps. Then one day you look back and there's a road that you built yourself and yes, there are a lot of challenges, especially when you're trying to dismantle an identity of who you thought you were.

Like food, like air people need to feel like they belong. So at that age, when you start to try to belong and you start listening to what other people want from you, and what other people think is best for you, while trying to fit in you can become easily influenced and conditioned. Because we're all trying to fit in, all the time. But at that age, around teenagehood, it's so, so strong, and you feel you're going to die if you don't belong. And in that search of belonging, we lose ourselves sometimes because we think that we need to be like everybody else. We forget that we came here as beautiful, unique individuals with something so beautiful inside. It was our gifts, our talents, something that we came here to do. And for me, it took me so long to reconnect with that part of myself because I got lost in trying to do life the way that life was supposed to be, so that I could also fit in.

A special 25th anniversary edition of the extraordinary international bestseller, including a new Foreword by Paulo Coelho. Combining magic, mysticism, wisdom and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery, The Alchemist has become a modern classic, selling millions of copies around the world and transforming the lives of countless readers across generations. Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different—and far more satisfying—than he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, to follow our dreams.

For me, finding my passion was a sequence. It was a serious series for me. It was a set of moments. And the first moment was in 2012. I had a dream, a literal dream while I was sleeping, and I woke up with the name "She's the Universe" – in my head. And I didn't know what to do with this but later it became the name of my non-profit organization supporting teenage girls. This was so strange for me. but I trusted it. I didn't know how to trust myself then, but I bought a domain name. I took action in the way that I knew how to take action.

Charles and Myrtle began writing about their beliefs, and shortly thereafter, Unity was born. The Unity Movement was started in 1889 with the publishing of Modern Thought, a national monthly magazine devoted to spiritual questions (published today as Unity Magazine). Wee Wisdom, a monthly magazine for children, offering daily uplifting and self-affirming messages, followed in 1893; and in 1894, Lessons In Truth, by H. Emilie Cady, was the first Unity book to be published. Over the years, Lessons In Truth has been translated into 11 languages, including Braille, and has sold over two million copies. It is still in use today as one of the major study guides for Unity. Using their publications, Myrtle and Charles were able to inform people about the Society of Silent Help, later renamed Silent Unity. For more than a century, people of all faiths, traditions and backgrounds have been calling Silent Unity (1-800-NOW-PRAY) with their prayer requests. Each request is held in constant silen...

My passion, my purpose, why I came into this world is to support the next generation of teenage girls. Because I believe they're going to be a very, very important part of our next evolution as humans, as us, where we're going, I feel like we need them. And I feel they've been left behind. What I feel like I'm here to do is to support them so that they can rise up, and meet us all there.

April 29, 2024 When you Feel Stuck If your car is stuck it might be well to call upon AAA. If your dharma practice is stuck, it also might be well to call upon AAA—but not the same AAA! This second AAA stands for Awareness, Acceptance, and Allowance. First bring awareness to the experience of "stuckness." Notice the related physical sensations, thoughts, emotions, and desires. After you bring awareness to your experience. see if you can bring a gentle acceptance to it as well. Acceptance does not necessarily mean that you like what you feel, it simply means that you can make it okay in this moment. Acceptance means nonresistance; it means letting go of the belief that "this should not be happening." Allowance means letting the experience stay, leave, change, or not change as it wishes—not necessar...

Part of finding my purpose I realized was to face this old version of myself and decide that I needed to be someone new. But I was having a hard time marrying those two parts of me. And because I felt I should have. It's hard for me to let go of that part of me that that I know so well, that knows how to make money so well, that knows how to be human in this world where we actually need money to do all the things that I want to do that we all want to do. At the beginning, it was very scary because I've been in that place many times, and I feel like I'm in a different level of that fear now. It's like I'm at the edge looking down and thinking," okay, I've done this before because we've all done this before in one way or another. We've made big choices in life at some point, and we're still here." But sometimes I forget. And I look down and think, "wow, there's such a big void." It's very scary. I get how scary this can be, but also what I'm learning is just to trust that I know what ...

I feel like there are many paths to finding your purpose, but I've found that I get goosebumps, and that's how my body alerts me when I've located some truth. I get goosebumps when something's true.

There's two main paths. One is through your joy. What makes you so happy, something that you want to do all the time? You just want to do this and you feel that you are meant to do this. Another path for me to get into that purpose is to find what breaks your heart. What is it that, when you see it, you feel like, someone should do something about it and then you do it? For me, it's to see women and girls who are amazing but cannot see their own brilliance. That heartbreak led to this. It was not a joyful thing. It was just the heartbreak of, wow, why are there not more women leaders? Why are women not feeling free? Why why why why why. And in that search, that search led to my purpose, that heartbreak. To let the heartbreak lead to the breakthrough.

This prosperity book invites you to go beyond old methods of making ends meet. Author Jim Rosemergy explains what the mystics of the world have discovered: The key to prosperity is turning toward God. He suggests that mystics should be emulated because they have found the proper balance in life. Mystics have learned how to put earthly matters in perspective by seeking first the kingdom of God and by realizing that God is our Source and that the consciousness of God is our supply.

How do we know if we're following our true callings? How do we sharpen our senses to cut through the distractions of everyday reality and hear the calls that are beckoning us? is the first book to examine the many kinds of calls we receive and the great variety of channels through which they come to us. A calling may be to do something (change careers, go back to school, have a child) or to be something (more creative, less judgmental, more loving). While honoring a calling's essential mystery, this book also guides readers to ask and answer the fundamental questions that arise from any calling: How do we recognize it? How do we distinguish the true call from the siren song? How do we handle our resistance to a call? What happens when we say yes? What happens when we say no? Drawing on the hard-won wisdom and powerful stories of people who have followed their own calls, Gregg Levoy shows us the many ways to translate a calling into action. In a style that is poetic, exuberant, and k...

A part of that was the practice of meditation. I was so enamored by this thing that I would just keep going back to New York. Every opportunity I had, every vacation I had, I'd go back to New York so I could experience this thing that they did in the Sunday service at Unity when they did their meditations. Eventually it got very expensive! In following my bliss, I eventually found a way to do this more and more often, until it became my career in life.

Our internal compass is our intuition. It is a part of us specially for women, this part of us that tells us what's aligned and what isn't. And that for me as a traveler that tells me when I was in the wrong place and when to trust people. A lot of the time, we learn, as women in many societies, that it is not okay to trust ourselves and especially to trust our bodies. And intuition has to do a lot with the intelligence of the body. And when we stop trusting our bodies, basically we stop trusting ourselves too. And this compass is just our intuition.

What actually happened to bring me to my purpose is quite a story. I didn't know what meditation really was when I was 29 years old. My brother died suddenly, I was just bereft. It was unexpected. He was the linchpin of our family. At the time, I was a journalist. At his funeral, people were saying all these wonderful things about him and how he had impacted their lives. I thought if I died today, I don't want to be known for writing about changing hemlines, because I was in the fashion industry at the time.

The number one best-selling international phenomenon – now with a new preface You have never heard a book like this before – a book that comes along once in a lifetime to change lives forever. In the rain forests of Peru, an ancient manuscript has been discovered. Within its pages are nine key insights into life itself – insights each human being is predicted to grasp sequentially; one insight, then another, as we move toward a completely spiritual culture on Earth. Drawing on ancient wisdom, it tells you how to make connections among the events happening in your life right now and lets you see what is going to happen to you in the years to come. The story it tells is a gripping one of adventure and discovery, but it is also a guidebook that has the power to crystallize your perceptions of why you are where you are in life and to direct your steps with a new energy and optimism as you head into tomorrow.

We're not going to just find our purpose and stay there because life changes and we're not linear. So we're going to keep evolving the passion, the purpose is going to keep evolving. The calling on our heart is going to be amplified as we remember more and more with each and every day why we're here, why we're here, why we came, and what is ours to contribute. So take that first step. If you just have an inkling, or as I said before, something that brings you joy, something that's got your focus, just dabble with that and see where it leads. Then if you feel like, oh, I found my purpose. This is what I'm here to do. Be open to the possibility that yes, there might be more to it because until we come into collective cohesion with unity and oneness with all, there will always be more room and space to grow as we live and share our passions in the world.

Reading *Sabbath* by Wayne Muller has been a transformative experience for me, helping me to truly align with my purpose. In a world that constantly demands more, it's easy to get lost in the hustle and lose sight of what really matters. This book came into my life in divine timing. Muller's insights into the importance of rest and balance have been nothing short of revolutionary. He beautifully illustrates how the ancient practice of Sabbath can be adapted to our modern lives, offering a sanctuary of rest amidst the chaos. Through his stories, poems, and practical advice, I learned how to carve out sacred time for myself, whether it's a full day, an afternoon, or even just an hour. This book isn't just about taking a break; it's about creating a space for renewal and joy. It reminded me of the importance of connecting with loved ones and finding moments of stillness in my day. By integrating these practices, I've been able to restore my creativity and rediscover aa deeper sense of ...

If you're capable of creating hell for yourself, see other side. Create a heaven not only for oneself, but heaven on earth for everybody. If you create bubbles and sort of have that ripple effect going out through the.

Moving out of your comfort zone is the number one thing that every one of us can do to have a deeper connection with the world around us because we have so many more likenesses than differences. One of the projects that we support with Purpose Earth is called Gazala Weaving. And it's so relevant right now with the tension in the Middle East, and it's bringing together Bedouin Muslim women with Israeli women, and they are teaching each other their weaving traditions. They are creating these extraordinarily beautiful textiles together.

I believe traveling opens people to their purpose and to their calling.

Prayer can be done in many ways. It is a time of listening, gratitude, love and council. I started praying when I took up yoga. And yoga was the path that led me to many very deep spiritual experiences. And I always found that it was toward the end of my yoga session, and I always have done it on my own. I've taken a few classes here and there, but mostly it's on my living room, carpet or wherever I am, and I go deep. So the deeper I stretch and the deeper I find that I'm going into a state of of meditation, the more I become open to, I think, what I would call the messages of the universe that are being shared with me. And the day that I was 26, I did my my yoga practice as most mornings I do, and I put out a prayer and I guess it's a prayer. It's it's almost like talking with my higher self in a way. It's sort of like knowing that the highest part of me is connected with the highest part of everything, and that the only thing that that impedes are being able to connect with the me...

My sense of worrying about self fell away and suddenly I was much more concerned about others and it was hugely impactful.

Greenheart Exchange is committed to cultivating leaders from all around the world through exchange programs in the United States.

25 years of fashion and beauty photographer in London working mainly with women and then a long journey and we fill in the gaps, but then sort of actually through my own journey of self-discovery, becoming an empowerment coach, the workshop facilitator, also being an artist in the creative. And it's honoring all those experiences and gifts. Bring it all together and creating what is very magical and very empowering experience for many, many people.

If you have like minded people with the same vision, you can create a heaven for yourself. But I think, you know, sort of as we raising our consciousness and having vibration, holding us in place again. What happens when you change your vibration?

When you do your morning practice you can ask for a sign. It will come. Sometimes when I am doing yoga, or meditating or praying, I say, "Please guide me, show me, show me a sign. Bring me somebody in my life that will make a difference."

It's vibration. We're connected to our high guidance, whether it be something that's perceived to be above us or, you know, it's here, ready. You can change your vibration, like changing the dial on your radio.

I recognized that through all of this self-doubt, I thought, can I really be successful? And I really kept being asked to step up. I kept being asked by other people to step up, to step into two directors roles, to step into keynote addresses, to step into being a moderator on a panel. And I had so much fear in my early years. You know, I would I would spend days working on a presentation and, you know, my husband would laugh at me and say, just wing it. It'll be fine. And, you know, eventually that was true. I could wing it that there were a lot of years that I had to rise above that. Over time you learn to leave the self-doubt behind.

It took 2 year after asking for a sign that the sign came.

So I have beautiful stories that a lot of indigenous coaches where they sort of especially the plains people with their teepees would always go to the east because they honor the sun as it rises every day and they see each day as a brand new canvas of infinite possibilities. Yesterday's canvas might be a mess. It's like, what happened? More distractions, more distractions, Get rid of it and throw it away. Today we are all blessed with a blank canvas. Some days you may have a canvas that is a mess. So it's just that awareness of like every day of getting into the flow of, okay, a brand new canvas. And if we bring that consciousness and that awareness to every day, then we can evolve.

No longer just the distraction and the bad news channel over here. Let's go on to the Happy channel. Put some good music on this, you know, do some physical exercise, some yoga guy in nature, get into that high vibe, then tune in and think, okay, what do I want to do today? How can I express myself today?

Everything's within us already. So when people come to me, and say "I don't know what my purpose is, I don't know what I need to do". And I say, what do you like doing? What's the thing that when you think about it, it puts the biggest smile on your face when you see yourself doing that. That's your purpose.

Work through the psychological aspects outside conditioning. "You should be like this. You should look like this. You should do this and be a certain shape, certain size" This is so disempowering for so many people. Self acceptance allows you to tap into your beauty within.

A friend was the one that introduced me to the person that would change my life.

I do a daily ritual of focusing my attention. What is it I would like to achieve today with that focus intention set those intentions for the day. At the end of the day you can have a look at your canvas and you can tune in again and say to yourself that I actually did the best today. Was my picture looking like something great, or did I get distracted again?

Look for someone who will give you a chance, an opportunity.

When you find the thing that lights you up. Don't look back, go for it. Over time, things will get ironed out.

And I think what has helped me more than anything is my morning practice. I was introduced to something very beautiful that was created by Michael Murphy, and it's called Integral Transformative Practice. And it's it's a beautiful practice that I started doing when I learned of it many years ago now. And it involves motion. There's a lot of aikido and water, water wheel motions and beautiful expressions, physical expressions. It involves affirmations and involves meditation. And then I've sort of adapted into my own thing, if you will. And a lot of it includes now for me, my practice includes spiritual.

I am deeply moved by Paramahansa Yogananda. He's he's had some important and interesting places in my life popping up at unusual times.

I have had many prophetic dreams in my life, that have given me important and profound clues in my path forward.

I believe we're all born with our our potential path laid out and that we I believe that we choose that before we're born, that in the the Bardo plane or whatever you want to call it, there's so many terms for it. But I believe that between lives that we we choose who we need to meet, where we need to go, what we need to accomplish to to to go to the next step in our evolutionary path, which I believe is centuries, millennia long. And I also believe that there is it's not just about pre destiny. We all have choice. We are all able to and and gifted to find those signposts along the way and to recognize them. And part of our responsibility as as a human being on this planet, especially if we're privileged enough to know where our next meal is coming from, to know that we have a roof over our heads to know that, you know, we have access to medical care, those people who are truly privileged, which is not nearly enough people on the planet, that it is our responsibility to to identify ...

I think this is hugely, hugely beneficial.

I think nature provides so many clues. You know, I have this extraordinary connection with some of the animals that are here, and my husband calls me, the javalina whisperer because I have this extraordinary sort of relationship with them. They move in a herd just like an elephant does, just like elephants do. And and they have the same paths. They move on the same paths again and again. And I think, you know, the animal kingdom is here to give us messages about finding our path, finding our herd, connecting with with nature and the universe itself in such a way that we are we're not separate from it, but we just recognize that we're a part of it.

There is no "creation" in life, only "co-creation" with others and with the Universe itself… And at this critical point in history, it is time for you to play a more vital role in that process, both for the betterment of your own life and for the further development of our entire species. Because of this imperative, it is your responsibility to evolve yourself in every way you can so you are bringing more to the table and more consciously engaging in that co-creation process on a daily basis. The first step in expanding your own evolution is to learn how to better understand how both your brain and the world actually work, removing the influence of the myths and misinformation about them that have been affecting every aspect of your life up to now and limiting your ability to step into the true depth and breadth of your power as a human being and as an extension of the Universe. To help you do this, scientists Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. and Dr. Shamini Jain have created an 8-week online Masterclass called "BECOME A CONSCIOUS CREATOR: The Science of Co-Creating a Better Future," where they will share the most amazing current scientific research with you and show you how to take advantage of the incredibly powerful tools you may not even realize are within you. Once you have learned all they are going to teach you in this new Masterclass, you will be exactly what is most needed at this critical time in our development as a species - a conscious creator, actively co-creating a better world that works for everyone, including you!

I was deeply influenced by the book Wholeness in the Implicate Order by physicist David Bohm. And in that book, I came across the word Holomovement, and that was definitely in a ha moment. I thought, Yeah, that's it. One beautiful holistic word that connects in Bowen's terms the implicate order, the source of consciousness with the explicate order. This physical reality around us seemingly very different, yet connected by a flow of wholeness that he called the whole of movement. And so we can see that no matter how separate or different things seem, they are all one. And this concept seemed surprise, really profound, yet simple. And one word describing the whole. By a man like David Bowen, who dedicated his life to furthering human understanding and above all, finding the secrets of the infinite potential in the quantum field and explaining that to us. I felt it was a very apt term to do and describe this hub of the wheel. So I put that all together. That was back in 1984. I developed the wave theory and the whole levels of consciousness and I really had the idea quite clear in my mind and then realized now I have to get to work and really find my purpose in life practical purpose, life work, generate some resources.

My purpose and curiosity about the Holomovement always stayed with me, and would never go away. In fact, it grew. I was motivated to keep researching, reading, thinking, for over 40 years.

When was the last time that learning about a scientific breakthrough left you feeling invigorated, optimistic and empowered to take charge of your life? In the tradition of Carl Sagan, Rachel Carson and Stephen Hawking, a new voice has emerged with the unique gift of translating cutting edge science into clear, accessible language-Dr. Bruce Lipton. With The Wisdom of Your Cells, this internationally recognized authority on cellular biology takes listeners on an in-depth exploration into the microscopic world, where new discoveries and research are revolutionizing the way we understand life, evolution, and consciousness. On this full-length audio course, Dr. Lipton shares his lucid and startling insights about the building blocks of life, and how each one of our cells has far greater innate intelligence than we once believed.

This is why we talk about speak your truth. What is your truth? And a lot of people don't have that truth. They and this is why they lack the confidence, because they have questions about what they've been told, but they're not sure what they think. Well, I've been bold enough to go down the tunnel of of questioning it or realizing maybe a different way. So they lack the confidence. And so I begin to be the student and I begin to look at the world as an opportunity to learn and from nutrition, from everything that I have a desire to do, whether it be relationships, I begin to put formulas together to realize and search out masters who who have presented themselves as such and and be the student and learn from them and learn from my own mistakes and put it together and I've seen myself grow tremendously. And again, I still make mistakes, but I feel myself still progressing in a way that I feel. I would have never progressed to such. I feel it takes some real question and answering. And you have to be unapologetically with your answers. You cannot make excuses. You can't run away from the hard questions you must ask yourself. And when you speak the truth to yourself, then it begins to present the path that you must take.

A leader in transpersonal psychology presents the first truly integrative model of spiritual consciousness and Western developmental psychology The goal of an "integral psychology" is to honor and embrace every legitimate aspect of human consciousness under one roof. Drawing on hundreds of sources-Eastern and Western, ancient and modern-Wilber creates a psychological model that includes waves of development, streams of development, states of consciousness, and the self, and follows the course of each from subconscious to self-conscious to superconscious. Included in the book are charts correlating over a hundred psychological and spiritual schools from around the world, including Kabbalah, Vedanta, Plotinus, Teresa of Ávila, Aurobindo, Theosophy, and modern theorists such as Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, Jane Loevinger, Lawrence Kohlberg, Carol Gilligan, Erich Neumann, and Jean Gebser. Integral Psychology is Wilber's most ambitious psychological system to date and is already being called a landmark study in human development.

The absolute key that we see in all of the research is when you shift your focus away from your self. So it's not about you, it's about other people. What can you do to help? We see this in social connection in the research of that as well, that to build social connections, you have to stop thinking about what you're going to get from a social interaction and start thinking about what you can give to that interaction. So if you start small and just think, Where can I help? What can I do? It doesn't have to be an immediate mission straight away, but just those small little actions of focusing away from yourself, looking at where can you actually help someone else give something to an interaction. I think that the mission and the purpose will follow from there.

I had a vision and I knew then it was time to get started and then the steps evolved and came to me over the years.

My purpose, and the whole Holomovement concept came to me through the impetus of a professor in college and was actually sociology professor, Dr. Jeffrey Hadden. And he explained to our class that there were enormous challenges facing the world. This was way back in the 1970s. So his ideas were rather revolutionary at the time, and he described an exponential graph over time and quantities on the vertical axis. And he plotted in all kinds of components of quantities world population, environmental deterioration, technology, G, armament growth. And he put them all together and he showed that everything is time. If we go back to the year zero and we graph it slowly, all of these quantities grow slowly. And then as we hit the 20th century, the curve goes straight upwards in the growth of many factors. Some could be beneficial technology we don't know yet, but others population, environmental deterioration, armaments and and such are clearly negative indicators. And what he said is we're running literally out of time as the graph moves straight upwards on the exponential curve, the time graph falls out of the picture. So a very clear message there that we're literally running out of time. And he proposed to the class that as sociology students, we needed to find a solution. What could we as individuals do or contribute in our life to help resolve this matter crisis? And that was our assignment. So that's what really got me thinking about this. And I described at the time in my paper for that course that it had to be some kind of wheel and that all the spokes of the wheels were different contributors or organizations, like minded entities contributing. And that my work should be to create a solid hub to connect the spokes of the wheel. So it would flow. It would work and the hub would hold it all together. So that was the original concept.

Well, it the passion shows up in interesting ways when a fills a need that you didn't even know you had, and all of a sudden you go, you know, you get you get lost in it. You lose track of time, you lose track of yourself and you just I, I think just this joyfulness arises and in easing ease of focus, you know, like you wind up just doing research and it's not hard. It's not like it's for a project for a school. You just notice that and how your body feels, how how relaxed, how in-tune, how alive you feel.

I think these are all just clues and and don't judge yourself too harshly to see what what's arising and just it doesn't have to be hot. It can just be warm. Just follow the warmth, and sometimes you'll have moments of that heat that seems like perfection, but I think people know it. If you give yourself enough space to just know that it's not an end all be all that you just you try things out and see.

I love this process. I love I love talking about each other's passion. I love supporting each other's passion. I think it helps each of us as in our own passion and finding what's right for us when we listen to others and talk about how their passion comes alive and learn.

I think when especially when you're focusing on things that are bigger than any of us, that provides a shield almost, it's not about me.So my ego gets out the way. It's like, no, no, there's a there's a bigger story to tell and just let it come through you and just let it out and just keep going.

It took me 30 years or so to generate and re-implement my theories while I was busy organizing cultural exchange and other business activities. So everything takes its time. The whole movement's been a work in motion since the beginning of the universe. I was just fortunate enough to be in a couple of places with some wonderful mentors to give me the hints for the next pieces on the path and put a few concepts together.

I was diagnosed with a spinal contusion. And my whole life that I had invested into this character was gone. And all I had known myself to be, all I know in myself to do is be this sports person and that character was gone. And now I had to look in the mirror and say, Who am I now? Or Who do I want to be? And I was in that predicament. And luckily for me, or ironically for me, I found yoga. Which yoga is union. I found myself.

Discover the secret to manifesting and maintaining the Honeymoon Effect-a state of bliss, passion, energy, and health in the early stages of a great love-throughout your entire life Think back on the most spectacular love affair of your life-the Big One that toppled you head over heels. For most, it was a time of heartfelt bliss, robust health, and abundant energy. Life was so beautiful that you couldn't wait to bound out of bed in the morning to experience more Heaven on Earth. It was the Honeymoon Effect that was to last forever. Unfortunately for most, the Honeymoon Effect is frequently short lived. Imagine what your planetary experience would be like if you could maintain the Honeymoon Effect throughout your whole life. Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., best-selling author of The Biology of Belief, describes how the Honeymoon Effect was not a chance event or a coincidence, but a personal creation. This book reveals how we manifest the Honeymoon Effect and the reasons why we lose it. This knowledge empowers readers to create the honeymoon experience again, this time in a way that ensures a happily-ever-after relationship that even a Hollywood producer would love. With authority, eloquence, and an easy-to-read style, Lipton covers the influence of quantum physics (good vibrations), biochemistry (love potions), and psychology (the conscious and subconscious minds) in creating and sustaining juicy loving relationships. He also asserts that if we use the fifty trillion cells that live harmoniously in every healthy human body as a model, we can create not just honeymoon relationships for couples but also a "super organism" called humanity that can heal our planet.

It has been ten years since the publication of The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton's seminal book on the relationship between mind and body that changed the way we think about our lives, our health, and our planet. During that time, research in this field has grown exponentially - Lipton's groundbreaking experiments have now been endorsed by more than a decade of rigorous scientific study. In this greatly expanded edition, Lipton, a former medical school professor and research scientist, explores his own experiments and those of other leading-edge scientists that have unraveled in ever greater detail how truly connected the mind, body, and spirit are. It is now widely recognized that genes and DNA do not control our biology. Instead, they are controlled by signals from outside the cell, including energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. This profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics puts the power to create a healthy, joyous life back in our own hands. When we transform our conscious and subconscious thoughts, we transform our lives, and in the process help humanity evolve to a new level of understanding and peace.

I think the compelling insight of breathing I talked about while in the hospital, the nurse talking to me about breathing and really conceptualizing, you know, what breathing does, the capacity of breathing that really clicked for me. It was a way, like in a sense of being an athlete, my whole life is like, why have I never thought about that? And it stuck with me. What's what? What else is there? You know? And then and then realizing that, now I have a tool to combat the situation that I'm in. Wow, what can I do with that? And in the opportunity I couldn't avoid, I was in it. I was in the middle of it. Well, this is the perfect opportunity. This is the only opportunity. I don't have time to negotiate it. Look at the stats, the data. I just have that and I must do it now. Well, she told me she's like the end to, you know, what happens when you breathe. She says on the inhale, the diaphragm pushes down on the exhale, it pushes out. She told me that when we breathe the shallow breath of the heart, the lungs, they don't need your help. But what becomes stagnant is the internal organs. And then she told me, or I found out that the liver controls anger, the kidney controls, fear. The intestines is worried. Say, Wow, this is a whole dynamic that I didn't even understand. So now you can go into page balance and really look there. And peace levels is is a processing mechanism. So now I can process the moment right. And now through the practice of processing, the moment I begin to build an emotional maturity around the situations or any situations that I'm dealing with. So now I can make a more constructive choice. And that's a powerful tool to have as a human.

The most important advice I can offer people to get out of the conventional world that they're living in and start to move into the world that I've been living in myself. It is to wake them to the fact that their creative mind is the conscious mind - is not really offering the life that they want. The creative conscious mind is the one with wishes and desires and aspirations. Typically, you're not operating from that mind. You're operating from a programmed mind, which is in the subconscious. 95% of the day your behavior is taken over by your subconscious program. It's on autopilot. The big issue is this people do not realize that the behavior they're playing most of the day is not who they are, that they're playing a program and they themselves don't see it. And the reason is simply this because they're not paying attention, because their conscious mind is looking inside and all of a sudden they're not living the lives they want to - they are living the lives they've been programmed to live.

My purpose has evolved in this up and down flowing process over many, many decades. But I would say 2019 was when I really decided I was it was my life calling and I would give it everything I could. We're moving in the flow of the entirety of existence. This is a sensation that can spread very quickly. It's a great idea whose time has come. It was always there. And as it awakens within us, I think it will calm down the conflicts and society and bring us together and it will be like a soothing wave of comfort, a deeper understanding of meaning that you know, we're not just calculating our material accumulation of possessions or money or something in life that we're accumulating this blessed experience of sharing the wonder.

And what happens when we adopt that as our individual purpose is to take care of ourselves, we then have more energy, more time, more resources to then take care of those around us. So it goes from personal to planetary. When we adopt this individual purpose of I got to take care of me, I deserve to take care of me. So I take that on as purpose number one. Right? But then if we are thinking about the purpose beyond self, I just want to help people feel better. I want to help them work on their stuff so they can live from their soul and everyone's going to need something that's slightly different.

I think it's just a surrendering. It's that's probably my word is you just got to surrender to it and then you find it if you're striving too much. I think it's not there. It's it's when you're willing to actually surrender and open yourself up. That's when the magic starts to happen. And we were all scared of doing that. Sometimes we've built a society where we want to have control and clutch and know what's happening next, but that's not where the magic lies. The magic lies in letting all that go and just going, well, staying open. Let's see who I meet. Let's see what comes in. And I've certainly experienced that firsthand. Like extraordinary moments where you think, my God, I never could have even imagined that was going to happen. And that's because I just trusted the process. So that's my experience is going to be different for everyone. But it's a lot around letting go.

I started praying when I took up yoga. And yoga was the path that led me to many very deep spiritual experiences. And I always found that it was toward the end of my yoga session, and I always have done it on my own. I've taken a few classes here and there, but mostly it's on my living room, carpet or wherever I am, and I go deep. So the deeper I stretch and the deeper I find that I'm going into a state of of meditation, the more I become open to, I think, what I would call the messages of the universe that are being shared with me. And the day that I was 26, I did my my yoga practice as most mornings I do, and I put out a prayer and I guess it's a prayer. It's it's almost like talking with my higher self in a way. It's sort of like knowing that the highest part of me is connected with the highest part of everything, and that the only thing that that impedes are being able to connect with the messages of the universe, are our own, the voice that never shuts down in our minds until we quiet it. And so I just put out please guide me as I do now frequently, but I put up, please guide me, show me, show me a sign, Bring me somebody in my life that will make a difference.

I wrote myself a letter as though I was 85 and it was saying it made me think about was I brave enough to tell the stories I want to say? Did I actually keep hiding behind my own insecurities and my thoughts? Or did I seize this beautiful, precious life that we get in all that space and time? Come on. Like, get over yourself. Like, say what you want to say. That sort of stayed with me, I guess.

So it's really taking our skill set and our talents and therefore our joy and combining that with service to the whole to make existence for humanity more thriving, more promising, and turn things around and taking the two and moving them together and the interface between service to the whole, combined with our own individual skill set and loving and longings.

So I'm just so pleased that I have so many wonderful people in my life that I wouldn't be here or be accomplishing or doing any of this without the support, love and understanding of so many others. So nothing about my life is a project of my own or an accomplishment of my own. It's only been my ability to try and understand the process and the feelings and flow with others and find a way that we can all work together and respect and love and reason.

Yeah, it's a formula if you build your character, like I mentioned earlier, like, you know, mastery comes through repetition and it's not just doing it because to do it is how can I be more efficient, How can I be better? How can I, you know, how can I be a master at what I'm doing? And in life I feel we have the opportunity to be here for what? We have problems. Well, we learn to solve it. We learn to evolve with it. We learn to take advantage of this opportunity of being in nature, learning how the medicine, medicines, how the universe.

I think I discovered my purpose when I discovered what wasn't my purpose. So when I didn't feel flow, when I didn't feel deep connection with Spirit or with others, when I felt like I was living a life that felt like drudgery or I felt fatigued, I realized I wasn't living my soul's truth.

You just have to stay on the path. There'll be years here and there where things get thrown out of whack and it seems difficult to stay true to yourself. We'll all find a way.

I was studying in France at the Sorbonne University for a while, and I was taking this course on French civilization and theater, and the teacher gave us one main paper to write for the entire course, and it was to compare the use of irony between Voltaire and a Romanian playwright named Eugene Ionesco. And so we were supposed to use to compare the use of irony by Voltaren, Ionesco talked about what irony is, how they both used it, what the differences were, and expound on that. Well, I ended up writing a dialog as if Voltaire and Ionesco were together in the same place in time, and they were having a debate between themselves about irony. And it was actually, if I do say so myself, incredibly funny. I spent hours and hours researching and it was in French. I had to look up all these words. I did puns, plays on words. The whole thing was about irony squared and personified. And I remember giving it to my roommate. He read it. He said, This is the most hilarious thing I've ever said. But you had an incredible sense of both the Spirit of Voltaire and he and Ionesco. And so I was so deeply proud of this paper and I turned it in. And the day I got it back from the professor, there were big red writings on it and said, This paper can't even be graded because it's not done in the tradition of French academics and is unacceptable and you'll have to rewrite it. And I was really distraught and not too happy after all that. And I argued with the teacher. I said, You don't understand. Isn't the exercise of this to gain a deeper understanding of Voltaire Ionesco, the problems of society, how irony helps us to smooth those things out and make it aware to others in a kinder, more sort of way. Didn't I demonstrate that? I think I understand the idea. There he said, "You can't write a make believe play dialog between two people that didn't go and say, No, it's not acceptable." So anyway, I was walking home after that discussion with with my roommate and he said, That's terrible. Wh

Voice and then dream into something. Maybe it's sound. Maybe it's just signing up for a sound bath. If sound speaks to you, I think it's a great medium, but dream in to some experience that you can give to yourself that can help to just spark you again. I have seen so many people receiving sound bath, cry, release and say, Come out on the other end and say, my gosh, I just had a vision or a memory of some part of myself that I haven't thought of in years. And I've been searching for something. And this memory, this gift just came through and now I'm going to go do this or that. So I would say just trust that it can happen instantaneously. You can be sparked instantaneously. So be listening. Give yourself creative gifts to put yourself in a space where you might just be inspired. Amazing Grace in your perfect.

Finding your purpose is much, much easier than you think. All you literally have to do is go within. And the first step is to ask yourself what brings me joy? And then don't apologize for that. Whatever that is, that brings you joy. That is your heart's longing. Allow your joy to unearth your gifts, because as you do things with the alignment and flow of joy, your purpose will naturally unfold. Allow your joy to unearth your gifts, because as you do things with the alignment and flow of joy, your purpose will naturally unfold.

I feel it takes some real question and answering. And you have to be unapologetically with your answers. You cannot make excuses. You can't run away from the hard questions you must ask yourself. And when you speak the truth to yourself, then it begins to present the path that you must take.

The very thing I've spent my lifetime running away from. That's me coming home. So every time you reach for a phone, for a cigaret, you want to speak to somebody, Anything, anything this desperate need to escape our pain to run, to look at social media. It's all a distraction. And that's one of my biggest learnings in the world is the word distraction that saved me and I no longer need to be served by that distraction. I think for anyone on the path of discovering their purpose, you you have to connect to your pain to really, truly know yourself and realize that your pain is not a sabertooth tiger. It's not going to eat you. It doesn't exist. And it's finding comfort with that. And I honestly believe from my own journey in life, you cannot go and seek and hunt for your purpose because that's almost like a distraction in itself. You have to you have to come home to you.

My life's purpose was activated in me by sociology professor and mentor, Dr. Jeffrey Hadden who asked us to solve a sociology problem. Then in 1984, a mentor of mine, Dr. David Tatum, suggested that I read a series of books to help develop the idea of the Holomovement. I was just fortunate enough to be in a couple of places with some wonderful mentors to give me the hints for the next pieces on the path and put a few concepts together.

Do your very, very best to let go of that voice that says, it's going to take a long time to find it. I may never the fear voice. Just find the courage, even for one hour to let go of that fear.

It starts with the diet and what we consume. There's a real thing, in my opinion. I don't know if it's really as public or in the open as much. When you talk about high blood pressure and how that affects the mind decision making, you talk about diabetes, you talk about all these diseases that we have in our society. Well, it affects the way that we think. It affects our interaction, our engagement with people. It affects how we perceive ourselves. So it's like kind of like what the doctor says, take this and then come back in two weeks and let's see how you are. We have to create a palette for ourselves to take and be open to the positive information that's going to allow us to heal and have a mindset, to have a palette. Also to take in new insight about ourselves and what we're choosing and wanting to do.

There's a small voice that has guided me my whole life, and that's really been crucial all along. In those moments there in Silicon Valley where I was losing my strong desire to just be a business person and then gained the strong desire to follow my spiritual calling, this bigger self calling was coming up again and again through my inner voice and you gotta pay attention to that.

Maybe this is the most important part of what I'm sharing is - we want to do what feels good right from the time we were a kid. What really feels good is an enduring good, not a sugar-high-good. A roller coaster is a sugar high, A quick high five even. An enduring good is a kind of good that settles in that morning when you look out the window and realize your loved, it carries with you throughout the day and impacts everyone around you. An enduring good is where there's a smile on people's faces. There's some awareness that they have through the work you're doing, some impact, some level of support where they feel that - and that feels really good. It feels really good to do that kind of work.

I cannot stress the importance enough of finding a spiritual teacher who you click with! Bashar Abraham Hicks Steven Greer Wayne Dyre Even less well known teachers like Jake Ducey on Youtube etc. Once you find your person, listen to their teachings so long as you feel aligned with what they teach, definitely use discernment but finding the right teacher can absolutely change the course of your life! Now I'm not suggesting by any means that you spend thousands of dollars on courses trying to learn the ways of these masters, because there's SO MUCH free content on youtube alone that that's plenty enough to really get those gears turning. For example, the second I started listening to Bashar his words and concepts and world views deeply impacted me to the point of real internal change. And I was able to see serious results not even six months later. The more I practiced his teachings, the more in alignment I became and the more my life started to synchronistically fall into place. Find a teacher, follow their teachings, watch how your outer world evolves to match your new and improved inner world.

Autobiography of a Yogi is at once a beautifully written account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. Profoundly inspiring, it is at the same time vastly entertaining, warmly humorous and filled with extraordinary personages. Self-Realization Fellowship's editions, and none others, include extensive material added by the author after the first edition was published, including a final chapter on the closing years of his life. Selected as "One of the 100 Best Spiritual Books of the Twentieth Century", Autobiography of a Yogi has been translated into more than 50 languages, and is regarded worldwide as a classic of religious literature. Several million copies have been sold, and it continues to appear on best-seller lists after more than sixty consecutive years in print. With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit, Paramahansa Yogananda tells the inspiring chronicle of his life: the experiences of his remarkable childhood, encounters with many saints and sages during his youthful search throughout India for an illumined teacher, ten years of training in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, and the thirty years that he lived and taught in America. Also recorded here are his meetings with Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Luther Burbank, the Catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann, and other celebrated spiritual personalities of East and West. The author clearly explains the subtle but definite laws behind both the ordinary events of everyday life and the extraordinary events commonly termed miracles. His absorbing life story becomes the background for a penetrating and unforgettable look at the ultimate mysteries of human existence.

One of the most challenging aspects of living in the modern world is finding time to center and ground yourself, thereby nurturing and improving your physical and psychological well-being. When your mind, body and soul are aligned, everything you do flows more smoothly and you feel more vital and alive, possessing greater mental clarity and strength than you ever thought possible. The easiest way to reach this aligned place is through yoga, and Andrew Sealy, one of the most respected yoga teachers in the world, wants to show you how easy it is in his brand-new Online Masterclass,"Awaken Your True Nature: Aligning Your Mind, Body, and Soul." During this 5-week training, Andrew will help you to discover the gifts you inherently have inside you waiting to be awakened, and show you how to become the most balanced version of yourself.

I can tell you when I left IBM to start my businesses, I was like, "What are you doing?". You know, you've got the golden ticket here in this company that you work for. And then, if you think that one was bad, when I left Silicon Valley and sold everything and left everything and moved to Boulder, people really thought I'd lost my mind. I lost most of the friends that I had, because this whole notion of non-separation and oneness seemed very out there for people in the early 2000s. It does require real discipline that the still small voice, though clear, was very clear for me. I was not missing what I was supposed to do. It's just that there are these distractions that are these other well-meaning people that are suggesting other things. You can just follow the pack, and I knew I wasn't supposed to follow the pack.

Winner of the Lillian Smith Book Award Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist for the National Book Award The Nation's "Most Valuable Book" "[A] vibrant intellectual history of the radical right."-The Atlantic "This sixty-year campaign to make libertarianism mainstream and eventually take the government itself is at the heart of Democracy in Chains. . . . If you're worried about what all this means for America's future, you should be."-NPR An explosive exposé of the right's relentless campaign to eliminate unions, suppress voting, privatize public education, stop action on climate change, and alter the Constitution. *Now Updated With A New Preface* Behind today's headlines of billionaires taking over our government is a secretive political establishment with long, deep, and troubling roots. The capitalist radical right has been working not simply to change who rules, but to fundamentally alter the rules of democratic governance. But billionaires did not launch this movement; a white intellectual in the embattled Jim Crow South did. Democracy in Chains names its true architect-the Nobel Prize-winning political economist James McGill Buchanan-and dissects the operation he and his colleagues designed over six decades to alter every branch of government to disempower the majority. In a brilliant and engrossing narrative, Nancy MacLean shows how Buchanan forged his ideas about government in a last gasp attempt to preserve the white elite's power in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education. In response to the widening of American democracy, he developed a brilliant, if diabolical, plan to undermine the ability of the majority to use its numbers to level the playing field between the rich and powerful and the rest of us. Corporate donors and their right-wing foundations were only too eager to support Buchanan's work in teaching others how to divide America into "makers" and "takers." And when a multibillionaire on a messianic mission to rewrite the social contr

Voted America's Best-Loved Novel in PBS's The Great American Read Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South-and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred One of the most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father-a crusading local lawyer-risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK • "An instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far."-Dwight Garner, The New York Times The Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions-now with a new Afterword by the author. #1 NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, O: The Oprah Magazine, NPR, Bloomberg, The Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, The New York Public Library, Fortune, Smithsonian Magazine, Marie Claire, Slate, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews Winner of the Carl Sandberg Literary Award • Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize • National Book Award Longlist • National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist • Dayton Literary Peace Prize Finalist • PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction Finalist • PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Longlist • Kirkus Prize Finalist "As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power-which groups have it and which do not." In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched, and beautifully written narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people's lives and behavior and the nation's fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pi

Maybe there's a perfect time waiting out there where all the stars are aligned, and then it will be your time to start this project, this goal, this mindset change, but unless you're a seasoned astrologer and you know the exact movement and pattern of alignment to the cosmos you probably won't know exactly when where why and how that time might come about. Now that was a lot of words but a motto I like to stick with is "Start before you're ready!" because when are you ever 100% ready. (Use this advice with discretion of course, you don't wanna drive on the highway packed full of dangerous traffic without a license, thats not what I mean) What I do mean is to chalange yourself. Start that project you've been procrastinating on and think you don't have all the materials for. As long as you feel inspired to start it, don't let "not being 100% prepared" stop you from trying.

When I found my purpose, it actually found me. And a big reason I was able to realize that it was aligned to my bliss and joy and something I wanted to dedicate my life to, was because I'd spent time deprogramming all the subconscious beliefs that would've told me what I was pursing was absurd. We've grown up in a society where "Artists are starving, You have to be a rocket scientist or have 5 PHD's to change the world in relevant ways or be someone who matters, etc etc." By disowning these ideals and others similar to them, I've been able to detach myself from the common narrative and pave my own path.

In this truly inspirational memoir, Anita Moorjani relates how, after fighting cancer for almost four years, her body began shutting down-overwhelmed by the malignant cells spreading throughout her system. As her organs failed, she entered into an extraordinary near-death experience where she realized her inherent worth . . . and the actual cause of her disease. Upon regaining consciousness, Anita found that her condition had improved so rapidly that she was released from the hospital within weeks-without a trace of cancer in her body! Within these pages, Anita recounts stories of her childhood in Hong Kong, her challenge to establish her career and find true love, as well as how she eventually ended up in that hospital bed where she defied all medical knowledge. As part of a traditional Hindu family residing in a largely Chinese and British society, Anita had been pushed and pulled by cultural and religious customs since she was a little girl. After years of struggling to forge her own path while trying to meet everyone else's expectations, she had the realization, as a result of her epiphany on the other side, that she had the power to heal herself . . . and that there are miracles in the Universe that she'd never even imagined. In Dying to Be Me, Anita freely shares all she has learned about illness, healing, fear, "being love," and the true magnificence of each and every human being! This is a book that definitely makes the case that we are spiritual beings having a human experience . . . and that we are all One!

The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization. Vastly more progressive than his European or Asian counterparts, Genghis Khan abolished torture, granted universal religious freedom, and smashed feudal systems of aristocratic privilege. From the story of his rise through the tribal culture to the explosion of civilization that the Mongol Empire unleashed, this brilliant work of revisionist history is nothing less than the epic story of how the modern world was made.

NOBEL PRIZE WINNER • A remarkable memoir of courage, faith, and the power of persistence about one woman's extraodinary journey from her childhood in rural Kenya to the world stage. "[Maathai's] story provides uplifting proof of the power of perseverance-and of the power of principled, passionate people to change their countries and inspire the world." -The Washington Post In Unbowed, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai recounts her extraordinary life. When Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977, she began a vital poor people's environmental movement, focused on the empowerment of women, that soon spread across Africa. Persevering through run-ins with the Kenyan government and personal losses, and jailed and beaten on numerous occasions, Maathai continued to fight tirelessly to save Kenya's forests and to restore democracy to her beloved country.

In this New York Times bestseller, comedic actor, producer, and writer Rainn Wilson explores the problem-solving benefits that spirituality gives us to create solutions for an increasingly challenging world. The trauma that our world experienced in recent years-as result of both the pandemic and societal tensions that threaten to overwhelm us-has been unprecedented and is not going away anytime soon. It is clear that existing political and economic systems are not enough to bring the change that the world needs. In this book, Rainn Wilson explores the possibility and hope for a spiritual revolution, a "Soul Boom" in order to address today's greatest issues-mental health, racism and sexism, climate change, and economic injustice. For Wilson, this is very serious and essential pursuit, but he brings great humor and his own unique perspective to the conversation. He feels that, culturally, we've thrown the baby out with the bathwater-and that bathwater is spirituality, Faith and the Sacred. The baby is us, and we are in need of profound healing and a unifying understanding of the world that religion provides. Sharing his experience of losing his father during the summer of 2020 as well as his personal struggles with addiction and mental health, Wilson is an empathetic narrator and thinker who listeners will appreciate and trust. Wilson's approach to spirituality-the non-physical, eternal aspects of ourselves-is relatable and will apply to people of all beliefs, even the skeptics. Filled with genuine insight-not to mention enlightening Kung Fu and Star Trek references-the book offers the keys to delving into ancient wisdom and seeking out practical, transformative answers to life's biggest questions.

If you have like minded people with the same vision, you can create a heaven for yourself. But I think, you know, sort of as we raising our consciousness and having vibration, holding us in place again. What happens when you change your vibration?

There's no such thing as a separated self. I don't want to go down a rabbit hole here. But the notion that I am this body is not correct. Albert Einstein, 103 years ago said that the greatest illusion in the world is the illusion of separation. That means that the planet and 8 billion people and the animal and plant life is a part of this one. This isn't new age thinking at all. There are actually scientists who are weighing in on this in a massive way, especially from quantum physics. Once I started tuning in to the big agenda, which really felt like it was coming from a place of connection with the divine - once I started tuning into that and putting my energy into creating health and well-being for that, that's where the wind was at my back. The synchronicities happened, the miracles came, the resources showed up, and more. I think that happens because we're where we plug in to that big agenda with our true self. Again, there's no such thing as separation, right? So our true self, which is this whole world around us, this big agenda, this bigger self, not the little self that I grew up with, that was Steve Farrell, just this body. But once I made that decision that that was not who I was at all, that the bigger self, that's who I'm serving, and then did my very best to serve that bigger self by doing things like Humanity's Team, creating this, these educational programs and so on. And my understanding is that actually this is true for each person and for everybody. And when we do that, it's not a magic carpet ride. There'll be challenges. I've actually been in urgent care years ago when things were really hard. I'd be in urgent care quite a bit. So I'm not trying to say this is an easy magic carpet ride, but you will go to your destiny. The resources will show up, the people, the financial resources and other things that just make life real nice for your family.

Guided meditation, regular meditation, self hypnosis and listening to binaural beats while going to sleep was something that I believe attributed to a great deal of my success in finding my path and truest alignment- ie. purpose.

On December 14, 2012, Scarlett Lewis experienced something that no parent should ever have to endure: she lost her son Jesse in an act of unimaginable violence. The day started just like any other, but when a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Scarlett's life changed forever. However, this isn't a story about a massacre. It's a story about love and survival. It's about how to face the impossible, how to find courage when you think you have none, and how to choose love instead of anger, fear, or hatred. Following Jesse's death, Scarlett went on an unexpected journey, inspired by a simple three-word message he had scrawled on their kitchen chalkboard shortly before he died: Norurting Helin Love (Nurturing Healing Love). It was as if he knew just what his family would need in order to go on after this horrible tragedy. Bolstered by his words, Scarlett took her first step toward a new life. And with each step, it became clearer how true Jesse's message was. She learned that love was indeed the essential element necessary to move forward and that taking the path of love is a choice. We can live in anger and resentment, or we can choose love and forgiveness. With her decision made, she found some peace and began to believe that choosing love was the key to creating a healthy, safe, and happy world. She began the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation to develop programs to teach children about the power each of us has to change our thoughts and choose a life without fear and hate. Nurturing Healing Love is Scarlett's story of how choosing love is changing her life-and how it could change our world. A portion of the proceeds from sales of this book will be donated to the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation.

A leading mind-body researcher provides an invaluable resource of solid scientific evidence for consciousness-based healing-along with practices anyone can use. Spontaneous remission, the placebo effect, and energy healing-these phenomena have baffled the medical community for decades. What do all these marvels tell us? "Our current models of medicine fall short of understanding the depths of our human healing potential," says Dr. Shamini Jain.

A growing number of scientists are exploring a new path-a true expansion of science joined with understandings from ancient concepts of spirituality."

'The Seat of the Soul changed the way I see myself. It changed the way I view the world' Oprah You receive from the world what you give to the world We are constantly evolving within a changing climate and yet always seem to return to the same question: is there more to life? In his iconic bestseller, renowned spiritual teacher Gary Zukav reveals how to become the authority in your own life, how to change the way you see the world and how to interact with others. The Seat of the Soul is the ultimate path to connecting with your deepest spiritual self.

Keeping your mind in a positive place isn't only extraordinary for your mental health, but it helps you to be aware of more positive opportunities that come your way. Something I started taking very seriously early on was the commitment to catching negative thought forms as they arose in my mind space. I knew I didn't always have control of my surroundings, but I did have control to the way I reacted to them. And I knew that in order for me to recognize when a synchronistic opportunity popped into my field , I needed to be in the right headspace to recieve it. Not thinking about all the ways this or that probably wasn't directed at me or the implications of how I'd probably fail or "what gives me the right to do that, I don't know anything about that." etc. Keeping a positive mindset by thinking about things that make you smile also pulls like a magnet more joyous opportunities to experience the things you think about into your reality since what you focus on becomes what you experience. And if you find yourself sad, or mad or in any displeasing emotional thought loop, learn some tools on how to channel and dispel that emotion, feel it until it's gone and then see how quick you can get back on that happy horse without judgement to or at yourself.

"In The Holographic Universe, Michael Talbot argues nothing less than that the universe is itself one giant hologram. Mr. Talbot thus explains out-of-body experiences, quantum-theory problems, the paranormal, and other unsolved riddles of brain and body." - New York Times Now featuring a foreword by Lynne McTaggart, The Holographic Universe is a landmark work whose exciting conclusions continue to be proven true by today's most advanced physics, cosmology, and string theory. Nearly everyone is familiar with holograms-three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Two of the world's most eminent thinkers believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. University of London physicist David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein and one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, an architect of our modern understanding of the brain, have developed a remarkable new way of looking at the universe. Their theory explains not only many of the unsolved puzzles of physics but also such mysterious occurrences as telepathy, out-of-body and near-death experiences, "lucid" dreams, and even religious and mystical experiences such as feelings of cosmic unity and miraculous healings.

My greatest challenge in following my purpose, I would say, was the fact that it was my purpose. It's your purpose but also your greatest challenge. And it is about getting outside your comfort zone. I've done a deep level coaching with people on this four years, countless charts. It's all the same story. Our comfort zone is what we've known as the South node. And so when we step into the unknown, this is where evolution happens. So my greatest challenge was to step into the unknown and say, this is non-negotiable. Either I keep denying it, putting it off, and I just continue being sad and I have all this repressed goodness inside of me that knows it's there and it needs to come out. But I'm not allowing it to, or I face my fears. It's silly, how simple it sounds. And that's what I chose to do. So essentially, that's what we're all here to do on this path, to overcome our fears and to follow the goals that we set for ourselves. If you know your purpose, once you know your purpose, t...

I remember some time during the pursuit of my goals, having become an interviewer and having helped lots of people though already, I was getting a bit fed up with being asked to do shows all the time on information that I thought just wasn't substantive enough. I just said to the universe out loud, "I'm sick of doing this! How can we make it different? How can we start giving people the information that they really need to have?" And suddenly I had this complete download. I'm not somebody who gets downloads frequently. So on the very odd occasions that I've had them, I pay attention. And it was as if somebody unfurled a poster in front of me and there was the complete vision for what later became the know As the No BS Spiritual Book Club. And I instantly got what it was all about. And I thought, "What a great idea, but I'm not doing that. That's far too much hard work." And I put it to one side. But the idea would not go away and I kept kind of looking at it out of the corner of my ...

This is urgent now. Please join us. The challenges in our world are mounting, from isolation, anxiety and depression to devastating climate change, dangerous weather patterns, escalating war, and social and political unrest… And while things seem to be getting worse on many fronts, the reality is that there is a solution to all of the world's problems that isn't yet being talked about in the media, by government and corporate think-tanks, or even much in the public or on social media. That solution is our Changing Humanity's Future Initiative, a joint undertaking by Humanity's Team, Neale Donald Walsch, the Conversations with God Foundation, and many other global leaders who have joined with us to bring more attention to the powerful and effective foundational solutions we are offering. The remedy to the world's problems is right here, right now. It is to live consciously, seeing the Unity and Oneness in the Universe at every level and living this way, both individually and collectively. Many are already living this way now, and we only need to get to about 10% of the population before we create a tipping point that affects dramatic positive global change. When you live consciously, you experience being part of something sacred and larger than yourself. You also endeavor to create a more fulfilling life, both for yourself as an individual, and for everyone on the planet, generating momentum toward manifesting a flourishing world for everyone for generations to come. We invite you to consider these quotes from Albert Einstein: "A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest-a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living c

From the origin of the Universe, to the emergence of the first humans on Earth, the conventional theories taught in our classrooms and textbooks have led us to believe that… * We live in a dead and inert Universe. * The Universe is the product of random processes and "lucky" physics. * We humans are the product of random mutations and "lucky" biology. * Our species has endured 200,000 years of brutal competition and "survival of the strongest," only to discover that we're powerless victims in a hostile world of separation, competition, and conflict. The truth is that hundreds of scientific and archaeological discoveries over the past 50 years have revealed a very different story for the Universe and humanity's place within it… And while these discoveries are being ignored and suppressed by the scientific establishment in order to preserve the status quo, they prove that the story we've been told is not only incomplete, but in many cases completely inaccurate, cutting us off from the immense power we have access to by our very nature. These discoveries not only prove that the Universe is alive and intelligent, they prove we are not the result of random mutations and luck, and that we are part of - rather than separate from - the Universe and everything that happens in it. They also reveal that our bodies are "wired" to interact with the intelligent field that underlies our existence, opening up almost infinite possibilities for healing, communication, and the sharing of information and energy. In order to fulfill our destiny and become who we are meant to become, we must embrace these new discoveries and the new evidence, along with the story they tell and the healing and possibility they can bring to our lives. From climate change to social change, from the shock of the global pandemic to the slow collapse of the global economy, your choices, policies, politics and solutions are based on the way you view the story of who we are and why we are here. World-renowned sc

The most important challenge facing you as an individual and the human race as a whole right now, is that if we want to continue to exist in a relatively pleasant version of physicality, then we must, as a species, change the way we see each other and the way we inhabit the Earth. This is not just about saving the world; it's about your personal spiritual journey, your individual evolution, and it can be the most exciting, enthralling time you've experienced since you were born. As you live your life here on Earth, you first become aware of your Little Self - your personal needs, desires and experiences, and now you are likely becoming more aware of your Big Self - the you that is foundationally connected to others, to the Earth, and to the whole of the Universe. This is the next step for you and for all of humankind - and it's possible for you to play an integral role in guiding others through this evolutionary process as you continue to deepen into it yourself. If you want your children and your children's children's children to have the same opportunity you have had to experience this particular expression of life on the uniquely beautiful environment of our physical planet, then there are some powerful actions you can take. ~ Despite the chaos humanity is experiencing right now, this time in history unfolding is the perfect time for us to make this critical leap forward, both as individuals and as a whole. The state of ideological, political, and cultural unrest we find ourselves in at the moment makes this kind of radical change not only possible but imminent if enough of us can come together to be advocates, activists, ambassadors, and midwives of this beautiful possibility. Imagine for a moment that a fire breaks out in the building you're in and you've been trained in firefighting and have the skills and tools to help put that fire out… Would you stand idly by, doing nothing, and simply allow the fire to burn? Of course not! You'd jump right in and get to wo

Part of knowing my purpose has always comes back to serving others in the way of food. And I find I can get unaligned any time I do something just because I thought, "it's going to pay really well. That'll remove some burden there." We all love money but it's a shallow path compared to the fulfillment of the soul. And so the more you listen to yourself, the easier it becomes to stay in your flow.

It is important to learn from the people around you and find support. As I started moving forward in life, everything pointed toward law enforcement for me. And something that helped me a lot was that my parents were very supportive. They would say, "Whatever you want to do, just aspire to be something, something that's good and something that's giving." My parents were both working people. They weren't in law enforcement, they weren't in politics. They were just hardworking people. And they did have an impact on me because I saw how hard they worked. And I aspired to be like them – to have that kind of integrity.

I believe that before we come here, we have agreements that we make about what we are going to do. I think the long chain of lives that we've all led have given us a number of skills and tools and they move forward with us.

This book is an opportunity for big and meaningful change… it is a beautiful place to start… for guidance and inspiration to walk your own path. -Ken Honda, author of Happy Money In the 1990s, Steve Farrell co-founded and led two high-growth technology companies based in Silicon Valley that were featured in the INC500 and spanned the United States and Europe. A New Universal Dream is the inspiring story of Steve's journey from the pursuit of wealth and traditional ideas of success toward a more fulfilling life of caring and service to others and to humanity. It's also the story of the potential each of us has for profound change and the power we all hold to open ourselves ever deeper to the Oneness of all things and to evolve consciously toward the highest versions of ourselves. This book will arm you with ideas, tools, a roadmap to greater awareness, and hope for the future as you become a more conscious leader in your family, workplace, and community while helping to create a better world.

Also when I was four, I apparently said to my mum, "I'm going to be a writer." I don't know how a child of four knows that they're going to be a writer, but I knew that was what I wanted to do. I was an early reader. I remember I was writing stories as soon as I could pick up the pencil and I set my sights on that as a career. Because it felt right. And that is exactly what I did. I left school, I went straight into work on a magazine, nobody told me about that. That was something that was living inside of me. I think that we all have a purpose. Our soul knows what we came here to do, and we just have to dig a little bit and go back in time to find out what happens. I think we all innately know, deep down, that we have a purpose, and we may even know what it is, but we just don't think that we're allowed to do that. And I think if you go back to childhood and you know what made your heart sing, what excited you? Just think about it. What were the things that you absolutely loved doi...

If I could give any personal recommendations, I'd like to point out that I do astrology full time and would be more than happy to help you find your alignment through any of the astrology readings I offer. I'm a 4th generation astrologist, with a plethora of experience in this realm of helping people to find their north star, their purpose, and it would be a pleasure to work with anyone who feels called. Contact me by visiting the link below and booking a session today.

The best advice I can give to those people who are looking for their purpose, is to open their mind, and consider every path. No matter what you look at, don't go for the job. Go for the career. People need to aspire to a career. And everybody tends to focus on college. College is a wonderful opportunity. It truly, truly is. If it wasn't for colleges, we wouldn't have some amazing people in our lives, right. Like rocket scientists and doctors. But we also need plumbers. We need electricians, we need firefighters. We need police officers because they touch people in their own way. You could go to college and be a lawyer. You win the case, you sue somebody or you help somebody. But it's not the same as a firefighter. You save lives, even as a plumber or electrician. They help people who need help in an instant, in their homes. And people forget that. But that's a career and it's got a personal touch that can make you feel fulfilled. Jobs are fine, to an extent, but go for the career n...

My final advice is that your purpose is always developing. Don't get discouraged. I feel like a lot of people get frustrated because when they understand more about their purpose, they say through astrology, they don't have the whole plan from A to Z laid out in front of them, and most of them are left with, "well, what's next?" That feeling of, okay, well, what do I do now? It's Okay, it's normal. Like, "I know I'm supposed to work with this, and now what?" Well that is going to depend on your level of focus, your level of dedication. And with time, you're going to build on what may start as an original intention, and may develop into something else entirely. Be open. Know that your purpose is always going to be developing. It's always going to be expanding. And it should feel good. If it doesn't feel good, then go back a step. Ask some more questions. Because when you're living your purpose, you should feel good.

Even though there is no sense of familiarity and no experience from the soul, it's designed to be your greatest expression of power in this lifetime. So all you have to do is focus there and follow that no matter how you feel. It's that level of persistence. And when you do that, when you have that commitment and dedication to your purpose, regardless of how you feel, your purpose starts to open up to you, respond to you.

Let me tell a quick story with this one: I remember something that my mother did, and she was not an outgoing person. She was more of an introvert, but she had a problem where she'd purchased a desk chair and it needed to be repaired. So she sent it back. And back then you didn't have Amazon, so you put the chair in the car to take it to a shop to get it fixed. And she never got the chair back, or she didn't get the chair back in a timely fashion. And she went to inquire about it and found out that that business had gone bankrupt. And they shut the doors. So she fought and she fought for the stupid desk chair. It was a nice chair. It was leather, but it was just a chair. Regardless, my mother fought tooth and nail and finally got the chair back. Aas a little kid. Maybe eight or nine. I watched her fight and get what she wanted. And I do that now. As a cop, you have to fight to get where you want. It's not easy. Not a single day is easy. The days can be fun, but they're not always ea...

I discovered my purpose years ago when I was a teenager. I was with a group of friends in the middle of a huge snowstorm and one of our neighbors was missing her child and looked all around nearby. It was really before kidnappings were a big thing. But all of my friends worked together with the police department to just walk the neighborhood to help find this child. And we were just kids, but we wanted to contribute and help any way we could. We actually found the child in a parking lot where somebody had removed a manhole cover. The child was in the manhole, covered with snow and it just happened that we'd been walking through a parking lot, and we heard him calling out for help. And the exhilaration you get when you actually save someone is remarkable. It left a remarkable impression on my life, that it's really cool to help people. That's where my life has really moved forward. And I have never regretted it at all. I get a huge excitement out of it every day.

I realized that no matter who you're cooking for, they appreciate it. And you can show love through it. Whether it was somebody that I knew or a member of my family or someone in the community, it just became this thing that gave me such a good feeling. And even now, whether I'm cooking for my kids and it's a five minute situation, or I go volunteer and I cook for kids doing something around a charity organization, the act comes from in my heart and soul. It's just the thing that lights me up, whispers it.

I think it's great to demonstrate to people that you can do what you love. You can live your passion and you can make it work for you and live in it if that's what you really want to do. Part of me helping people was that I realized my voice wouldn't be enough for most people tuning into my podcasts and radio shows, even though I thought these concepts and topics on spirituality and the like were really important to share. The climate nowadays is people are afraid to take chances on new blood. So, for example, I've come across a number of authors who have got incredible information to share that they can't get published because they don't have a platform. That becomes a vicious circle, so I don't tell new authors or people who aren't well known, "no you can't come on my show". I think social status has very little to do with whether you've come across good information or not. I will support people that I think have information. I will help them get their books published. I will show...

I am a seeker of truth. I cannot stop looking for research. In reading everything that's out there, all the physicists, the cosmologists, the scientists. I want to know the truth about life, who we are, why we're here, what our purpose is, etc. I consider myself to be a shameless sharer. So, keeping that in mind, it was just intuitive to me that I built my career around being able to have reason to find that information. I interview people, physicists, authors, speakers and teachers that have all of this incredible information and research. I do it in a way so that the audiences and listeners really really have a chance to grasp that information, because that's what brings me joy.

The moment I realized that I'd found my purpose was interesting because it was so simple how it happened. I realized suddenly one day when I was doing an interview with somebody, the thought occurred to me, "goodness, this is just the best job in the world." And that was it, I have created this situation where I am allowed to do what I love to do and actually bring it out to the world and get paid for it. Finding your purpose does not have to be some drawn out event or a slow realization, it can happen in a flash. So be prepared to receive that when it happens.

The moment I opened myself up to the idea that astrology was my purpose, and I had that feeling, it wasn't just excitement and surprise, it was a deep, impactful, sobering punch in the gut. An energetic punch in the gut, literally, because it was that sense of responsibility that went along with why I was here. I remember that moment, I was learning about the lunar nodes in astrology. I always say this is my secret in astrology, because the lunar nodes are what reveals the why, and where it's all going. There are many components in astrology. And when I got to the lunar nodes, I started to finally understand the essence of the chart that I was looking at. And from that point, started to connect the dots and put everything together. I was in a state of shock for at least three days. I cried. This is the interesting thing in astrology. We see through people's charts that their purpose, their destiny is 95% of the time, something that people resist. This is my main function in the work that I do through the school that I have and the sessions that I give is to help people understand what really matters. This is the punch in the gut that I was talking about, the sense of responsibility. Because deep inside, you know, and the punch in the gut comes from also knowing that you've been running away from it, you've been underestimating it, you've been pushing it away when it's the one thing that you should be making it a priority in your life because your life won't happen. It won't work. You won't find satisfaction if you're not following your North node, your North Star, your purpose. This is not the purpose of the mind. This is the purpose of the soul. The true purpose and the true reason why you're here. This has to do with your own evolution. So when I realized that through my chart, I was in shock and I said no to anything having to do with it. That's pretty much the reaction I get from most people when I work with their charts. But once we start to first come to terms

There's an extraordinary life of meaning and fulfillment waiting for you. When you were born and your lungs filled with air for the first time, you were also filled with possibility and a promise was made by the Universe… A promise for you to keep by the way you live your life, by the person you become, and by the lives you touch along your path… And while you may not yet have entirely fulfilled that promise, there are ways of approaching your experiences and the events that unfold around you that can help you gain clarity about your unique mission here on Earth so you can embrace it and nurture it into your reality. Once you truly know yourself and all you are capable of, everything in your life will begin to align with your deeper purpose and everything you do will bring you closer to living and breathing that purpose in each and every moment. In this self-paced Online Masterclass, world-renowned spiritual teachers Michael Bernard Beckwith and Neale Donald Walsch will personally mentor you and show you how to let your soul be your eyes and ears into the future, guiding you to a life's purpose that feels aligned with your soul and allows you to fulfill the promise that was made at the moment of your birth.

I believe we were all born into the world at this time to play an important role in the planetary awakening. Each of us came here with the capacity to be a conscious leader in our families, our professions, our communities, and even in the world at large, and we must embrace and embody our highest potentials for helping to create a better world for us all, and for the countless generations to follow. During the 1990s, when I was based in Silicon Valley and led two companies to more than $75 million in revenue, I got a good long taste of the American Dream. I attained financial wealth and participated in all the things that go along with it, such as travel in private jets, skiing at ultra-private resorts, trips with business icons to luxurious destinations, and more. But I ultimately found that taste of the American Dream to be unfulfilling, as I saw how its mindset left so many behind and created a world of haves and have-nots that did not feel right or good to me at all, so in 2001, I felt called to play a more active role in trying to create a new universal dream - a better world of equal benefit, opportunity, and flourishing for all of Life - so I chose to leave my life in Silicon Valley behind. I sold my interest in the companies I'd started, moved with my family to Boulder, Colorado (where we still live today), and continued the journey to further elevate my own consciousness. In 2003, I co-founded Humanity's Team 501(c)(3) non-profit with New York Times bestselling author of the Conversations with God series of books, Neale Donald Walsch. The following year, I became the Worldwide Executive Director, a role I continue in today, leading a highly motivated and committed core team, along with volunteers, Country Coordinators, and Country Contacts around the world. Humanity's Team was founded on Neale's and my vision of a world free of outdated and limiting beliefs about the Divine, one another, nature, and all of life. By living in this Divine being-state, we tru

Humanity is on the leading edge of conscious evolution, and that edge is being continually redrawn by a relatively small but highly important group of pioneers, who are exploring the boundaries of what is possible. This is a rare chance to learn directly from one of the most influential of these pioneers - someone who wants you to become one of those adventurers yourself, and to personally evolve into The New Human you are destined to become. We are here for a reason… Life began as single-celled organisms and has evolved into human beings - fully conscious expressions of the Universe itself… And the Universe is not only counting on us to keep evolving; it is ready to provide us with the whole array of its capacities and power to help us do exactly that. All the Universe wants in return is for us to evolve ourselves more rapidly and work in harmon y with it to co-create the future. The conscious evolutionary pioneer who discovered all of this through her own remarkable research and practice was bestselling author, acclaimed visionary, and consciousness researcher Barbara Marx Hubbard. Barbara worked with the Universe in this way for many years, and at 88 years old, she found herself evolving so rapidly that she quite literally felt "newer" every single day… She was determined to share all the "newness" that she discovered - including not only new facets of her being, but also more wonder and excitement and joy than you could ever imagine possible. To teach you how to master the art of Deep Self-Evolution that makes this extraordinary experience of "newness" possible for anyone, Barbara joined forces with Humanity's Team to create a self-paced 8-Week Masterclass that puts together, all in one place, the essential steps she took to reach this highly evolved and ever-evolving state. Over the course of 8 weeks, you'll be steeped in Barbara's exhilarating, transformative techniques for tapping into your deepest evolutionary longings and weaving them into your life through

Following my gut also helped me to determine if the path I was on was the right one for me. For example, after I took a job in retail working in san francisco, I found myself climbing the corporate ladder, and I ended up as the project manager from the corporate side. I learned a ton from that experience. And then I realized the projection of my job was taking me further away from my passion for cooking as I moved up the ranks. I decided I wanted to go to cooking school, so I walked away after seven years and went to cooking school for six months. And then just by happenstance, I was asked to just test some recipes for a cookbook to the owner of the cooking school. And it was 200 recipes in six weeks. That was just completely insane. But that led to her calling someone called Marion Cunningham, who was a really well-known food writer and cook. And this woman gave me a job on her last cookbook. Then it was just word of mouth, then I started testing recipes for books, and then that le...

How different might your life be if you had the courage and the skill to feel like you could say Yes, without hesitation, to any challenge or opportunity that arose before you on your daily path through the world? Imagine what you might be able to experience and accomplish if you were so in tune with your ability to adapt to life's twists and turns that you could give yourself fully to the moment and all it has to offer without feeling held back by doubt or fear. The reality is that sometimes even people who are spiritually focused can unintentionally live their daily lives closed off from experiencing deeper connections with others, and from the frequent opportunities for joy and enrichment life provides. The good news is that developing a healthy relationship to things like pain, fear, worry, and doubt allows you to be more open to all that life presents to you… And recognizing the lessons your experiences are trying to teach you enables you to live a life of deeper fulfillment and impact. This way of moving through the world is something we can cultivate, and once we discover how to open up in this way, holding nothing back, the reward is that we are held by the Universe, and good things happen without the struggle and resistance so many people experience as they try to create the better life they envision for themselves. By living in this very way, New York Times bestselling authors, cancer survivors, and regular guests on Oprah Winfrey's "Super Soul Sunday" program, Mark Nepo and Kris Carr have been able to step into expansive and profoundly meaningful lives, and they're teaming up for the first time to help you do the same in their self-paced 8-week Masterclass… Over the 8 weeks of this unique and powerful program, Mark and Kris will show you how to better process the challenging thoughts and emotions that can arise in your mind as you move through your day. They will also show you how to live more fully from your heart, open to life, and make the best of what

I never even looked at or aspired to be mayor. I just wanted to give back in my way, and try to help out. You've probably heard the saying "leave someplace better than when you found it." The more I did on the city council, the more I was able to do that. And it led to me becoming the mayor in a natural progression.

The journey that led me to my purpose wasn't immediate. My initial start in the world was journalism. I've always been looking at information and talking to people, but journalism in the science and spirituality arena was a whole different ball game. When I realized that there was a need for the information I wanted to share it, spiritual teachings and new theories etc. I had to surrender to that and let this path take me wherever it was going to lead. You have got to meet people where they're at so that they can internalize it, and then you can gradually move them to where you are. So once I realized that I could lead people forward through interviews with people, I sought other ways that I could do even more of it. And then I realized that I could actually change my career and completely do nothing but interviews.

Staying open minded is important. You have to have the mindset of being able to work with all nationalities, all different beliefs. And you have to be deferential to the concerns of the people who come in. For example, working at an airport, sometimes people come to an airport for the first time in their lives and you have to be able to work with them. Keeping an open mind is a part of having good people skills. You can never guess how that's going to pay off, and who you're going to meet. And that's what I've learned. Even coming here to Sedona, there's people with different mindset and I try to work with those people. I found it works well. I learn a lot and I take away a lot each day. Which helps me to do my job better.

I think what stops most people from believing that they can actually pursue a dream, has to do with the fact that we live in a world where we are so conditioned from the moment we're born, the teachers, the preachers, everybody is telling us what we can and can't do. I remember my mother telling me, "No, you can't be a writer. You've got to go to work, be a typist" or something ridiculous. We have to learn to say no to that, because if we can follow that passion, not only do we make ourselves happy, but within that we are bringing something valuable to the world. I really do believe that we all come in with a purpose and our job is to find out what that purpose is and then live it.

I found my passion through pursuing what makes me smile. I think the most interesting thing is that I started in a job that everybody thought I was crazy to take because it didn't pay anything. And I always had this connection to food and I wanted to move to San Francisco, two things seemingly unrelated. I lived in Arizona, and I just kept telling my family "I'm moving to San Francisco." And a week before college graduation, Williams-Sonoma came to campus and interviewed and they said, "Yeah, if we hire you, it'll be for a training program for no money. And you'll start in our retail stores." And I said, "I don't care. It's going to get me to San Francisco." A week later, I got a phone call saying, "Come to San Francisco." My parents weren't so on board, asking me, "What are you doing? You're going to work in a retail store?" But it turned out to be the most amazing training! I learned about all of the products. I learned how to choose knives and cookware, and I'm laughing because I...

There is no "creation" in life, only "co-creation" with others and with the Universe itself… And at this critical point in history, it is time for you to play a more vital role in that process, both for the betterment of your own life and for the further development of our entire species. Because of this imperative, it is your responsibility to evolve yourself in every way you can so you are bringing more to the table and more consciously engaging in that co-creation process on a daily basis. The first step in expanding your own evolution is to learn how to better understand how both your brain and the world actually work, removing the influence of the myths and misinformation about them that have been affecting every aspect of your life up to now and limiting your ability to step into the true depth and breadth of your power as a human being and as an extension of the Universe. To help you do this, scientists Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. and Dr. Shamini Jain have created an 8-week online Masterclass called "BECOME A CONSCIOUS CREATOR: The Science of Co-Creating a Better Future," where they will share the most amazing current scientific research with you and show you how to take advantage of the incredibly powerful tools you may not even realize are within you. Once you have learned all they are going to teach you in this new Masterclass, you will be exactly what is most needed at this critical time in our development as a species - a conscious creator, actively co-creating a better world that works for everyone, including you!

If life calls you away from stability when you're following your passion and that can be scary. I think that it's super scary to have the courage and to always follow it. There were a couple of times where I was making really decent money, great benefits and things like that, but it no longer felt like the right thing to do. So even when I was going to quit to go to cooking school, I had just been promoted. And I had to be self aware enough to think, this isn't part of what I really want to do or didn't feel like it was really calling to me as I was moving up the ranks. And you have to be willing to see that, willing to see past the monetary gain. So I think the biggest challenges have been just knowing when you have to trust your gut. And even when I left Williams-Sonoma, people thought I was crazy because I had just been promoted to VP. I had all the amazing benefits. And here I've got two young children to support and with everything that comes with that. But I was like, "I can't...

The next advice I would give is commitment. Commitment, because it's one thing to find your purpose, let's say, or find something that you want to do next. And it's another thing to follow through. It's another thing to have the necessary commitment and dedication to see results. Be open and receptive. Find a good system, a good teacher, a good mentor, and then take steps. Start somewhere, even if it's small steps, Take steps. Because do you know what's going to encourage you to keep going? Get results. Don't give up.

I think I knew when I was six years old. I was taken to a dance class and I felt like I was where I needed to be and I remember I was dancing and it felt like something opened up from above and just hit me like a ray a shaft of light and I just knew I was supposed to be there and ever since then my whole life has always been about dance or through dance. Because dance is a lot bigger than just dancing and just performing it's also an internal practice and and so the dance has been like the constant road. Then it took me to filmmaking and it took me to writing stories – but always through that lens.

So I have a story about moving out of my comfort zone and finding flow. One Sunday the leader, the facilitator of the meditation, said she was going away for a month and that the minister was looking for someone to take over in her absence. It was as if something spiraled in my soul and just jerked me out of my chair, and I went up to the minister after the practice and said, I can do that. Yes, I had never tried it personally, never done it at home and I always say my soul knew it turned out to be one of my spiritual gifts. That's how I bumped into it. Then there was a group that met at my house and the facilitator of the group was a licensed unity teacher and she would ask me to lead the meditation. Every week I'd be surprised that she was asking me out of this entire group. I was never prepared. I had nothing written, but as soon as I opened my mouth, magic would come forth. Surprising us all. Over the years, there was a change in the vibration of my voice – so much so that even ...

Spend more time by yourself to figure out what really drives you. Are you really driven to do that? Deep inside it feels like freedom. And what does freedom feel like that moment where you feel safe or you're at home or or you like you're like a little kid again, there's a one that little feeling that you have that's when you feel that you know that you've tapped into something.

I would like to recommend the teachings of Deepak Chopra, MD. As someone who has been profoundly impacted by his work, I can attest to the transformative power of his insights and guidance on the path to finding one's purpose. Deepak Chopra's extensive contributions to integrative medicine and personal transformation have been a beacon of light in my journey. Through his teachings, I have gained a deeper understanding of the connection between science and spirituality, allowing me to cultivate a holistic approach to my well-being. His ability to bridge these two realms has provided me with tools to navigate life's complexities with greater clarity and intention. His profound wisdom, delivered through accessible and engaging language, has empowered me to embrace my true self and live more authentically. As a pioneer in the meditation revolution, Deepak Chopra has inspired countless individuals, including myself, to integrate mindfulness and meditation into our daily lives. His teachi...

When you start embracing who you truly are and who you came here to be, there's going to be people who are not going to understand. And sometimes those people are the people who are really close to you. And that's what hurts the most. But in my case, my family was super supportive. And I consider myself lucky for that. Still not everybody understands what I'm doing. And sometimes that's hard because I don't know how to explain it, I just know it. And I've learned to be okay with that, to know that not everybody is going to understand. On the same note, people can support you even if they don't understand what you're doing.

Take Charge of Your Life as A Creator I think the hardest thing for me working in mainstream is in having a corporate job as head of content, even at Gaia. Was that there was it was a bit of a comfyness to it - even though it's disorganized mess. And then when you go out and and you have all these complaints about your boss or your institution and how they do things, but if you really want to make a change, you've got to stop bitching about it and take control of what it is you really want to see in the world.

I remember I was in Italy and um I was standing around and there was a dance recital or a dance event with Pina Bausch and I went with my husband and it blew my mind. It was incredible it was dance it was speaking it was words it was gesture. Then years later I was standing in New York getting out of a meeting and I saw a sign or I saw something for Pina Bausch was performing and I got in a car I said and it was she was performing that night, so I jumped in the car and it was a Brooklyn Academy of Music and I said take me there the performance. It had already started. I ran all the way up the stairs got into the place the box office was closed I I knocked on the box office the guy came out he said we've already started all the tickets are done there's no tickets – and I said I came all the way from Los Angeles to see this. He said I'm going to give you a ticket it's a front row. It was the last time she performed it was the last time she died right after that. I think about that exp...

It's important that you are operating from a place of what you want to do and not that you were influenced to do something.

The advice that I would give to somebody who's looking for their heart into their path is to sink in deeply into themselves. I think we don't have feeling in this culture. We don't feel our way into things – we think our thing way into things. We learn rules we learn what's acceptable.

I met someone named Jeff arov who was really powerful and he was ah head of Warner Brothers and I had this job but it was a really strange job because our boss wasn't there very ofte. I would sit with him and just sit in the in the in his office basically just sit on the floor in his office and just go through everything and then I finally said Jeff I want to direct and so he said sure you know we talked about it and he said you are a director and he gave me a track. I found a producer and we made this video and my grandmother who's also been part of my guidance who is this black lady who is a school teacher I asked her for money he gave me a certain amount of money but I needed more money and I asked her for money and I said I need about $5 – $6,000 can you give it to me she goes what's your business plan and I did my storyboards and I laid out everything I was shooting and everything like that and she gave me $6,000 in a paper bag to match Warner Brothers money and that's how I st...

When I'm talking about source and I'm talking about finding your alignment. I can explain it to you as it's like where you feel like you found home. You found your home and inside of yourself this thing that you carry that's like your home base. It hasn't been easy. I've had many challenges. I've been faced with many challenges many many things – many dark things – many things. I think why am I facing this challenge? You have to get up and you have to still move forward and you want to keep your light. You start understanding that there is a home base that's internal that's inside of you and only you can find it and only you can hold it. Once you start learning how to be in alignment you don't like being out of alignment. I need to say to be in alignment – being in alignment – it's difficult. It's difficult to find. It's an inside job. I learn how to be in alignment through suffering. Going through difficult situations – through being hurt or having something really difficult happen...

Yeah, it's just a brief thing about meditation. Meditation is important to realign not only yourself, but your goals in consistent order were always bombarded by other people's voices.

It's vibration. We're connected to our high guidance, whether it be something that's perceived to be above us or, you know, it's here, ready. You can change your vibration, like changing the dial on your radio.

Spend more time by yourself to figure out what really drives you. Are you really driven to do that? Deep inside it feels like freedom. And what does freedom feel like that moment where you feel safe or you're at home or or you like you're like a little kid again, there's a one that little feeling that you have that's when you feel that you know that you've tapped into something.

Find alignment is similar, just like meditation. Aligning with the purpose. Aligning for what you're doing.

And you might feel it at the strangest times. And when you do, you think, okay, well, I can't run a flower store. This this doesn't make any sense, right? Why am I getting so excited about this? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And it doesn't matter if you are if you're running for president or you're you know, you're you you're taking down the Illuminati. Iit doesn't it doesn't matter what the purpose is. It could be something really simple, but it's needed. And you, by you doing it with your heart, you're connecting with people and you're part of that big field. Your existence, no matter what you feel, your soul's purpose in those those little moments when you feel that is so important because you're connecting with people with your heart.

The hardest thing I think, for an entrepreneur, and especially in this space, is to allow things to unfold. I think as a producer, as a writer, as a director, you're driving. You're always getting the result you're always moving. And to step back and just be like, "whatever", is the hardest thing.

Discovering my life purpose has been one of the most profound experiences of my life, and Dan Millman's The Life You Were Born to Live has become a tool in staying aligned with that purpose among many other things. This book offers a unique system, grounded in ancient wisdom, that has given me clear insights into my life path and direction. Millman's Life-Purpose system is remarkably thorough, providing a method to determine your life path based on your birth number. This system, detailed for anyone born between 1750 and the present, has helped me understand the strengths and challenges inherent in my life path. The book's exploration of key areas such as health, money, and relationships has been incredibly enlightening. One of the most valuable aspects of this book is its focus on spiritual laws and how they can help overcome hurdles specific to each life path. This guidance has been helpful to me to maintain a sense of harmony and purpose. The book also delves into the hidden dyna...

I went on an uplugged vacation in Mexico and realized after slowing down that I was not happy and I realized if I could do ANYTHING, I would want to become a raku artists working in Augmented Reality. When I got home, suddenly made some decisions and that began to miraculously materialize in my life. A year later I barely recognized my life.

The New York Times bestselling "manifesto for the future that is grounded in practical solutions addressing the world's most pressing concerns: overpopulation, food, water, energy, education, health care and freedom" (The Wall Street Journal). Since the dawn of humanity, a privileged few have lived in stark contrast to the hardscrabble majority. Conventional wisdom says this gap cannot be closed. But it is closing-and fast. In Abundance, space entrepreneur turned innovation pioneer Peter H. Diamandis and award-winning science writer Steven Kotler document how progress in artificial intelligence, robotics, digital manufacturing synthetic biology, and other exponentially growing technologies will enable us to make greater gains in the next two decades than we have in the previous 200 years. We will soon have the ability to meet and exceed the basic needs of every person on the planet. Abundance for all is within our grasp. Breaking down human needs by category-water, food, energy, healthcare, education, freedom-Diamandis and Kotler introduce us to innovators and industry captains making tremendous strides in each area. "Not only is Abundance a riveting page-turner…but it's a book that gives us a future worth fighting for" (The Christian Science Monitor).
