Mini-Keynote Editorials

June 2017 [This editorial is adapted from the June 2016 blog at my most recent book’s website – www.thegreatgrowingup.com] One of the most succinct definitions of conscious leadership that I’ve seen comes from the Conscious Leadership Group (CLG). It was made clearer to me in a recent email exchange with Jim Dethmer (pictured left), one […]

May 2017 I discovered something about myself a few years ago and wonder if others have had similar experiences. My discovery was that I could be spellbound by almost any activity if it was being performed with mastery. It is not just a particular sport, or a specific type of movie or play, or any […]

April 2017 In late February I convened a small group of people with the intent of experiencing nondual consciousness. This took the form of a conference call with eight of us participating. Our facilitator was Sperry Andrews who has been creating these experiences for thirty years. While I’ve had flashes of nondual consciousness over the […]

March 2017 I just finished a book by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama – Advice on Dying: And Living a Better Life. I’m not planning to die anytime soon but I wanted to absorb any wisdom this very special Tibetan monk has to share about aging (which I am) and dying (which I’ll do […]

February 2017 Like Dr. Victor Frankenstein, who created a creature that he could not control, modern humans have created social systems that no longer serve as they were originally intended. Our governments, healthcare and legal/justice systems are but a few of the human-designed institutions that have become dysfunctional at best, outmoded and obsolete at worst. […]

  January 2017 Given the political statements made at the polls this last year – Britain’s Brexit, Australia’s “up yours” election and the recent Trump upset here in the U.S. – I think it is safe to say the world is on the brink of a revolution. A large faction of us feel very disenfranchised […]

December 2016 After decades of reading about unity consciousness and the experience of oneness some people have accessed for themselves, I started having experiences in my life but I hadn’t realized they were of this kind until recently when I was developing the “Pyramid Model of Consciousness” for FutureShapers, with my business partner Tom Eddington.

November 2016 A woman I know unexpectedly lost her husband and was left feeling incomplete and remorseful. A friend suggested that she consult a shaman who served as a channel or bridge between those who have made the transition and those still here on earth. The session went very well, leaving her feeling quite serene. […]

July 2016 Described by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales as “a light unto this nation” and by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair as “an intellectual giant”, Rabbi Lord Jonathon Sacks was recently named the winner of the 2016 Templeton Prize in recognition of his “exceptional contributions to affirming life’s spiritual dimension.” Sacks, who served […]

June 2016   Since I have no financial or banking credential, but an occasional dosage of common sense, I do listen to those who are better informed yet not so heavily invested in the system that they staunchly defend it despite the signs that it is collapsing. Belgian banker Bernard Lietaer is one man who […]
