One World in a New World - Apocalyptic Chats

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One World in a New World with Carol Sanford - Author, Behavior Disruptor - E.P.-Regenerative Business Summit, 5x TED Speaker An Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com) Carol's most recent book, The Regenerative Life: Transform Any Organization, Our Society, and Your Destiny (2020), sets forth her belief that “we need a better theory of change, one that goes beyond the heroic and do-good models and that taps into, develops, and releases the inherent potential of every human being to live in ways that make meaningful contributions to the world.” We are fortunate and honored to have Carol as a guest. She's known as a disruptor across a wide swath of companies and industries and this conversation is an example. Carol begins by noting her newest book about how a deeper look at behaviorism has the capacity for facilitating systemic change. She learned from her Mohawk grandfather that there was no such thing as inner and outer, that there is a whole in which we are embedded. She shares how he affected her life and future work in the regenerative culture. The exploration holds deep wisdom for today. Carol's wisdom comes through in defining the three areas of work in life; developing self leads to being able to attract and work with others on specific goals toward something relevant. She speaks to consciousness being recognizable in a fleeting moment, then it's gone. Regenerating that 'moment' moves us toward further embodiment of consciousness. The conversation floats back and forth in attempting to 'frame' the experience of consciousness in the moment, which Carol regards as very concrete... the observation of observing an activity, for instance. The regenerative capacity in the continued observation is constantly interrupted by distractions in thinking. Consciousness is a moment of observing something of interest. You are invited to take the challenge Carol offers our viewers, though you'll have to listen for it. You will be intrigued with the quest she offers for the moment. She speaks to being undivided, such as the ability to listen to the words being spoken and paying attention to them as they are crafted. Life for humans, in her opinion, is about being as conscious as possible in every moment. One of the best examples of the concept is being able to consider one's intention to function at a certain level with a group and then observing our behavior to see how well we match up on the fly. Carol shares some very important and practical methods in learning how to work together, starting with individual beliefs, listening to others' ideas and then allowing new ideas to emerge from the two. This conversation, as challenging as it appears at times in finding congruence, is one of the most valuable opportunities to observe the process of finding common ground. Carol's sharp intellect and wisdom from experience shines through the challenges with the ALS and her strength. You won't want to miss this apocalyptic chat as she is a gem for the future of humanity.

One World in a New World with Victoria Rader - Coach, Speaker, Int'l Best-Selling Author An Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com) Victoria's accomplishments range from a Doctorate in Philosophy to authoring multiple books on empowerment. She had quite the shocking experience as a young child that impacted her quest for understanding and overcoming fear. The conversation takes many a twisted turn exploring resistance and flow. Like Dr. Laszlo (https://youtu.be/NDYZl-fnGWI), Victoria speaks to the embodiment of the higher self and the ways in which we can nurture the process. Zen mentions the various layers of consciousness, dimensions and constructs of creation that are being discovered through bridging direct experience and quantum science. She mentions the aspect of starting from 'not knowing,' much the same as the 'beginner's mind' concept. What do you think is possible for humans today? Can we really create our own reality? Seeking to describe the ineffable, the conversation explores various levels of consciousness and what is perceived to be present in each; 'brain candy' as Victoria describes it. She illustrates we are not just our body, that we are light condensed into these forms with the ability to choose. Similar views from others are discussed that you will find worth considering. What kinds of information can we find across the web that edifies the advancement of our awareness and the understanding of how we do have the potential of discovering our perfected form, fit and function in the world? Is this pursuit of awareness and understanding capable of moving us toward a new living awareness collectively? How can we play better together in hopes of achieving a sustainable cohabitation or even a thriving experience in the world? Victoria responds that we have the opportunity of responding from either a fear-based or fearless choice, and shares perspectives of each. Continuing down the rabbit hole, Victoria shares that there really is no wrong way to approach the process of inquiry to understand how our DNA and advancing levels of consciousness determine our experience. The bridging of the inner and outer realities through direct experience become more apparent. We invite you to explore this conversation and the possibilities in your life, just waiting for you to engage. The latter part of the conversation holds wonderful insights you can apply. Please do like, comment and share this conversation to help continue the flow and sprinkling of tasty tidbits for transcendence for your life and others.

One World in a New World with Daniel Christian Wahl - Author, Educator, Regenerative Catalyst Daniel Christian Wahl was born in Munich in 1971 and grew up in Germany. By the time he was 28 he had travelled in 35 different countries on six continents. His early career was as a marine biologist and scuba diving instructor, before he decided to focus on sustainability and sustainable communities in 1998. Daniel also holds an MSc in Holistic Science (Schumacher College, 2002) and a PhD in Natural Design (University of Dundee, 2006). In reflecting on the initial dive into potential early recognition of an inner connection to everything, Daniel notes a conversation with his brother at about 9 years old while living in Munich in 1980. He sets the stage well, revealing conditions and societal fears at the time in Germany. It will impact your understanding of the progress we've made. He speaks to an early awareness of connections to the ocean and then forests, which led him to understand a perspective as being a part of a larger system. Finding deep access to our larger being, resting in our nature as nature, most find it in nature and don't believe they can find it in metro areas. He shares perspectives you might find insightful, even intriguing. Daniel's depth of inquiry and not knowing or presuming answers allows us to ask better questions, to peer deeper into the mechanisms that are include healthy systems and systemic challenges, such as structural violence. He mentions several key areas of concern and some pitfalls as well as peaks in collaborative achievements. The powerful question he offers, echoes throughout Designing Regenerative Cultures is, "How do we live the questions together?" Is it possible that question has potential in our collective growth as a global society? The conversation dives deeper than most in the exploration of synergy in systems and the questions still to be asked in the process of developing a sustainable and thriving world. Once you click in, you'll want to stay. Daniel is a deep thinker, insightful inquisitor, and wonderful willing guest to explore the deeper things that matter to us all in micro and macro fashion. If we don't ask question, explore fearlessly and become vulnerable to the emergent, how can we expect to succeed? Daniel's tenure as Director of Findhorn College, member of GAIA Education and engagement in the 'Ecosystem Design Education,' 'Design for Sustainability' and 'Bioregional Design Education' programs bring a flavor to the these apocalyptic chats we haven't had yet. Among the unanswered questions are some tasty tidbits of what we know about challenges we face. Enjoy the show and come back for more. Don't forget to subscribe.

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

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

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