Zen Benefiel, Author and Transformational Life Coach (BeTheDream.com) takes us on another apocalyptic (uncovering knowledge) journey in making sense common. Zen is a polymath, deep thinker and researcher and it comes out in his comfortable and open yet focused style.
You really need to listen to or watch this episode. It is full of tasty tidbits of great conversation about life and understanding how to navigate it. Frank is a multi-faceted human that is great with Being human. Our conversation goes in multiple directions with touch points of salience in flow.
He begins with noting home life had a Christian and Muslim mix, though his mother leaned toward Catholicism. His grandmother's passing brought him into a new and deeper experience regarding the gifts of spirit. The beginning of his accelerated learning curve in spirituality began when we was nearly bankrupt. Everything he'd learned and practiced just wasn't working.
His question, "What am I missing?"
Frank references Michael Singer's book, The Untethered Soul, presenting the question, "Have you ever considered you are not your mind?" You'll have to listen to the perfect metaphor he uses. What's water? Makes you think, doesn't it? What are you immersed in that makes you blind to what's around you?
What was his big 'aha' moment? How do you step out of the mind in order to observe it? Who's that, then? It's interesting to consider how that might cascade beyond anything you've considered to date? Zen shares a reference to living half inside and half outside and comments toward the nature of thetanic beings. Listen in for more on that.
Asked about the transition we're in and the potential of a silver lining in the pandemic, Frank prefaces his comment with his understanding that the universe unfolds 'for us,' not to us. What does the situation offer as a gift? Where is your agency?
Frank's illustration of framing responses to life, such as asking servant-leadership type of questions rather the self-serving. What can you see now that you can do something about that wasn't visible before your shift in point of view? Have we been in a collective daydream?
The conversation is quite apocalyptic as we bounce back and forth between the practical and pragmatic thinking to the reality of working with others in a professional environment. How do we introduce the concept of 'love' at the deepest level, in working relationships? The conversation unfolds nicely about how we communicate, hold space and the importance of it.
We hope you step into the entire episode as it has some great points shared from different perspectives of two guys who've had their travesties and triumphs, done their homework and share the comradery of growing in understanding of self and others and applying it in serving by example.

We speak often about new leadership in our world and wonder how to empower it. Marc J. Victor certainly counters Shakespeare's notion about lawyers in his efforts to fulfill that calling His firm reflects the same, with the new millennial management style that puts his employees and staff first in ways we don't expect, like health-challenges and moral codes. Our conversation takes some interesting twists and turns that you might not expect. Marc understands that we are part of nature, and a plant-based diet is extremely helpful for well-being.
What are the things we believe to be self-evident? The conversation turns to Marc's involvement with politics, and specifically the Libertarian Party, citing the focus on freedom and a non-aggression principle. However, he feels there is more and that peace takes much more effort to achieve; it's not just about freedom anymore.
Inquiring of his efforts to found and launch the Live and Let Live Global Peace Movement as a way to garner support for not only justice and freedoms; he cites moral principles are needed in the world today. Marc notes that principles are a primary foundation, which he references Steven Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People that is rooted in principles.
Oh sure, so you're starting a global peace movement. Let us know when you take over the world. The latter is not an uncommon view, though Marc goes into detail about the meticulous planning and strategy for engaging such an endeavor. His description sounds a lot like Zen's efforts in making sense common. The theme of 'Live and Let Live' is hard to argue with, isn't it? It's like our basic need to love and be loved. Who could argue with that?
Asked about the process of coming out of Covid and the mishegoss its created, from a local perspective, Marc immediately states that we are a global society. Something happened that affected the world and now we are all in it together. He speaks of 'our community' being the world today. We have to look at a win-win for the world, doing things for the right reasons, moving from adversarial to collaborative relationships.
Victor speaks to balance and mentions the image behind Zen and the fact that that IS where we live... one world. Zen mentions a conversation he had with Dr. Edgar Mitchell, sixth man on the moon, about his epiphany of connectedness to a greater reality. We agree that in the 21st century we need to have an inclusive perspective, which Marc notes that the Live and Let Live Movement is post-racial and that we need to promote the individual right of choice, given that the choice is non-aggressive or harmful to others.
We break from the action a moment with a short interlude from Zen's past and the profound understanding that came from it. You'll have to listen for that at around the 34 minute mark. The follow up question to Marc is, 'How do you see the evolution of the recognition of the interconnectedness within humanity happening as we come out of Covid?'
His answer and the 'rest of the story' is certainly worth listening or watching and pondering how you see the evolution happening, your part in it, and what you're able to do to support it.

One World in a New World with Diane Wyzga, JD - Story Strategizer

Diane Wyzga had a knack for asking and answering questions beyond her age early on. It was a mixed bag of inner confidence and outer dismissal by adults. Both expanding her awareness and diminishing her esteem, she held on.
Many of our guests have an early experience of connectedness to the world beyond the norm. Most have at least a brief encounter young, though they don't return until later in life. Speaking to professionals who've established careers gives us all an opportunity to grow in knowledge and understanding, apocalyptically in some cases.
We start out on a deep dive into how Diane first got in touch with her recognition. The question prompts a memory unconsidered for some time. Remembering events that have been 'forgotten' until the question occurs are commonplace in our discussions.
The notion that there is really nothing hidden is presented with the awareness of being cosmic consciousness condensed into form as a point of light, bouncing back and forth to and from the Great Light for however many times it takes for us to understand the fact and learn how to get along. It's all about asking the right questions and letting the answers unfold, referencing Rainer Marie Rilke's perspective. We essentially asks questions, let go, and move on.
Diane reiterates that there is a great deal to learn in the process of learning how to ask and wait. Her comment about a common phrase, 'be careful what you ask for because you just might get it,' as usually considered being negative. She admits that only recently she's come to an understanding that it is not, meaning it comes unexpectedly. Something does come, though, and our job is to say, "Thank You."
As children, she says, we are often told to stop telling stories. Stories are perceived as lies, so stop telling lies. It shuts down the authentic self, causing codependency and other dis-ease. She notes how others misread or misunderstand how others relate to 'tuning in' to self and feeling or perceiving what story needs to be told. Many rescind from life and keep their inner experience quiet because others aren't able to relate or understand and thereby become categorizing or critical, let alone dismissive.
What if we could changer our perspective, become intellectually humble, and listen to others without boxing up their story in some way completely inappropriate to the storyteller. It would seem even disrespectful, though the storytellers tend to fall back and feel disconnected to their outer relationships. Diane has an eloquent and expressive way of putting this understanding into words that are very hard to misunderstand, so it's recommended to listen deeply to this Story Doula.
Diane shares that we all have a story within us, it just takes a special opportunity for them to have it 'listened' out of them. Instead of putting up resistance or projecting our ideas of what the 'truth' of their story is, they now have a chance to tell their stories unimpeded as they are listened to without conditions. Story asks questions in the listening. It is very much alive.
What oral traditions have we neglected as a result? The remainder of our conversation has insight and understanding shared that will absolutely deepen your experience of life and relationships. Perhaps it may even inspire that deeper connection you may have had to return.

We continue to seed the thoughtmosphere with tasty tidbits for transcendence. Ipek originally hails from Turkey, so her perspectives of life and the world are through different cultural eyes, yet so similar to many on the path to their own self-awareness and professional careers. We jump right in with the beginning of her own transformation; perhaps similar to many who've been in corporate environments.
She notes that it became a process of discovery about personal and professional inclinations. It required taking time to explore questions like, "Who am I?" and "What can I give?" There was a sense of being a guide, an influencer that could help others in transition. We discuss the foreknowledge of such a transition that came while visiting Turkey shortly before her 'challenge' showed up.
Zen reflects on his own transformation early and the challenges one faces when events and learning supersede the 'normal' maturation process. He goes on to inquire what that experience was like for Ipek, which she responds that challenges become so great that something has to change within. It took a while for her to get through the internal challenges and move toward her true self, a much different world that where she was initially.
Like many who've developed a life-service awareness through their own transformations, she now helps others to move through the process with less challenges and heartache. Zen mentions the gamut of perspectives from which we ask questions about our emerging process and its dynamics across the current global upwising. He probes Ipek on her own process and how she relates and reflects how others may benefit in understanding it better.
Our conversation moves into the sharing of how what was once called 'living in spirit' has now advanced to a more science-oriented perspective as 'living in quantum entanglement with the unified field' as an experiential process. They agree that questions are answered in a flow of life, perhaps like a choreographed movie specially designed for each individual. It's just up to us to recognize it.
Ipek speaks to a change of attitude she made, in her late 40s, of not doing anything that does not give her joy. This is particularly relevant to the notion of 'flow' in our lives and our ability to move into a state of being that engages life differently and produces the path to that joy through experiences. She agrees on the two-fold process of 'the universe' providing the opportunity and intuition backing it up - essential to understand.
Is it a sensation of being? How does one recognize this sensation and how to tune into it? Ipek relates that it is so important to slow down (to speed up) and recognize what's going on around one with more observation rather than participation. The 'monkey mind' is calmed and allows the inner being to emerge with greater awareness of connectedness and synchronicity.
You'll find great nurturing of self and value in this interview as this introduction only begins to highlight the insights and realizations available through considering the interplay and tangential conversation that brings many aspects of self-actualization and self-realization so important to the process of humanity at this time. You'll be glad you stay, listen and/or watch as we discuss deeper considerations of how we, as a humanity, can move forward toward greater harmony with self, others and nature.

One World in a New World with Indra Rinzler - Vedic Astrologer, Spiritual Seeker, Life Reader
One World in a New World with Indra Rinzler - Vedic Astrologer, Spiritual Seeker, Life Reader
Zen Benefiel, Author and Transformational Life Coach (BeTheDream.com) takes us on another apocalyptic (uncovering knowledge) journey in making sense common. Zen is a polymath, deep thinker and researcher and it comes out in his comfortable and open yet focused style.

Indra Rinzler says he's a life-time spiritual seeker. He has traveled to 56 countries and has a broader view of society than most in his 75 years of life. Our conversation begins with his acknowledgement that borders are relative and that people are the same everywhere. He expresses the notion of spirituality is perhaps different in each individual and whatever makes you light up.
Does passion for life include an experience of joy? Indra shares that joy may indeed be part of the overall experience, yet folks seem to be both tormented as well as excited in living their passions. What might the visceral experience be of a greater awareness? He shares that many seem to find themselves in the reference of 'glass half empty' or 'glass half full.' Zen asks if they are aware that they really hold the pitcher.
Are we so stuck in a bi-polar framework as to not realize we are the source of our reality? Zen asks about the wisdom he might share from the observations and life experience he's had. How does he see the current chaos and transition through it? His response offers some insight and clarity as to how sometimes what we think we value has to be taken away for us to re-examine our lives.
Is there a silver lining in the process of learning how to navigate through all the suffering? He states there absolutely is in how people are being forced to re-examine who they are and how they want to live. We discuss his vocation with Vedic astrology and use of the enneagram and how he found he shares more of what he needs to learn, not necessarily the litany of details his clients expect.
We have an interlude regarding the aspect of non-attachment that he's found from the years of his own seeking, which is says becomes quite hilarious at times in how the universe works to make light of our attachments. He mentions his father's death in his mid-20s and how his casket had the wrong middle initial and that taught him early not to be attached to the specifics of life.
Indra expresses that now Americans are experiencing trauma closer to home with the constraints being place on our activity. He says the silver lining is that people who haven't been happy in their jobs are not having the chance to change, some personal choices are forcing it as well.
Our conversation evolves into looking at the various Yugas, which are a series of ages put forth in Vedic astrology and understanding. There are four ages, with the Kali Yuga (last age/decline or density of humankind) transitioning and showing signs indicative of the Dwapara Yuga (coming age/ascension of humanity).
There's a silver lining in the density as well, as it tests our mettle of discipline and seeking a higher path. The transition offers signs such as atomic energy, quantum physics, internet proliferation and universal health care. Indra speaks to the reality of telepathy and communication we all experience, and are more aware of it today, as also being an indicator of the Dwapara Yuga.
One of the most interesting insights Indra offers is that he's noticed all the different species on Earth, a connectedness they all seem to share, and that across the universe it may only be a difference of scale as to the recognition of the interconnectedness we share.
You'll really need to explore the rest of the story as we explore other interesting points of connectivity. Indra shares some reflections of his teachers and the work he's found that continues to keep him learning, too. He discusses his process and some tasty tidbits of his own initiation that you'll find extremely interesting and relevant to all of us.
Zen also asks a question about the possibility of a perfected form, fit and function in the world.

Like Paul Harvey said, "and now, for the rest of the story.' In times like these, the conversations that matter inspire a deeper connection to life with self, others, and the world around us. Part 2 of the 2021 features short clips from empathic and generative chats that are at times poignant and, at others, salient with tasty tidbits for transformation. There's a precious present afterward, a reveal from nearly 50 years ago now.
Our first six months of conversations were delightful, insightful and full of wisdom shared through stories of life; the trials and tribulations as well as the transformations and triumphs. I am so grateful to each of my guests and their willingness to share their stories and listen to mine. The psychological safety and intellectual humility necessary for deep conversations is demonstrated throughout them.
We start off with Dr. Pauline Crawford's personal acknowledgement of the process of co-creation. Kosta Makreas expounds upon a moment of contact his wife experienced while he was participating in a CE-5 event. Dr. Melissa Hughes talks about the things we don't know about ourselves that make us who we are and what's fascinating about grounding and observing the mind's meanderings.
Dr. Dennis Reina speaks to the development of trust building in organizations. Tom Paladino offers his early learning about seeking the advice of elders; those who've journeyed where we want to go and listing to their wisdom. Geoff Woliner considers the notion of what lights up our soul, the activities or interests that inspire us. Dr. Pat Boulogne speaks to the nature of patterns, especially noting and changing those that aren't beneficial.
Doug Brietbart shares his dark night of the soul and the consciousness that became accessible in the quiet. Lisa Ma gives insight into how people are gathering and supporting one another as we progress from the chaos. Mark O'Brien spills the beans on his inner child re-awakening and the difference it made in his life. Laura Staley invites the experiential wisdom forward, that thinking about 'doing' just isn't the same.
Our next round of conversations will take some interesting twists and turns as we meander through the garden to find the delicious food for thought not often found, let alone shared.

Beginning in June of 2021, new conversations developed and dove into areas not often addressed in the marketplace, let alone everyday lives. Our goal was to demonstrate that deep dives into the relationship between inner and outer realities is not only possible, they are so very similar across the vast backgrounds of the guests.
The guest list includes Fyodor Ovchinikov, Michelle Holliday, Antony Upward, Deborah Levine, Steve Bhaerman, Octavia Brooks, Dr. Eric Zabiegalski, Mansi Kakkar, Mitchell Levy, Donna Nehlam, Robert Butwin, Lynn K. Russell and Dennis Pitocco.
This gives us hope, perhaps even inspiration that we can grow together and co-create opportunistic solutions for moving us toward harmony within self, with others and with Nature. The latter is a two-fold reality pregnant with possibility; that which is within us and that which is of the world merging for the greater good of all.
These clips from about half our guests, as Pt 1, offer a collection of poignant realizations and salient points of a new order that appears to be developing naturally, Our apocalyptic chats illustrate how the curiosity, inquiry and vulnerability of the participants allow them to speak from their depths of contrivance beyond the petty notions of separation and survival.
Closing out 2021 brings immense gratitude for these opportunities to examine and explore the rise from our past traumas individually and collectively toward something greater. We don't know exactly where we are going, or even how to get there, yet these chats are part of many that are happening around the globe now.
Evolving toward a civilization that demonstrates our humanity is a desire apparent in all the guests, applying and offering their personal skill set to the process. Our entrance into 2022 will start with an exciting tone for expanding our conversations into this emerging order and how it might be helped through participation and sharing resources that facilitate the process.
For now, I invite you to explore my recent book - ZERO to ONE: Making Our Way Toward a Conscious Civilization. Moving beyond the commission breath to more rarified air, you can download it for free at https://BeTheDream.com/zero-to-one

One World in a New World with Laura Staley, Ph.D. - Author, Founder - Cherish Your World
One World in a New World with Laura Staley, Ph.D. - Author, Founder - Cherish Your World
Zen Benefiel, Author and Transformational Life Coach (BeTheDream.com) takes us on another apocalyptic (uncovering knowledge) journey in making sense common. Zen is a polymath, deep thinker and researcher and it comes out in his comfortable and open yet focused style.

Each episode we take deep dives into personal awareness, inner connections and realizations that transform into practical applications in the outer world. It's our way of sharing learning, understanding and wisdom for the times - offering considerations for the great 'weset' and 'upwising' that starts with people just like you that are seeking confidence in their own path or a new living awareness altogether.
After an initial misstep and correction, much like life, we delve into the early connection Laura found in the midst of an emotionally traumatic childhood. Her story is not uncommon, though many go through traumatic childhoods and repeat them as adults. She speaks of recognizing the early connection with her soul as a place of solace, though she didn't realize it until later in life.
Did you spend time in nature as a youth? What was that like? How did it feel? Can you remember?
Laura shares her experiences in nature as a child that's a very interesting perspective. We also have an interlude on the notion of choosing our childhood experiences in order to grow and evolve our understanding of our greater self.
We often think life is a series of coincidences that 'happen' to us. Is it possible there is a preliminary conversation between self and Self before entry?
What becomes obvious is the life path Laura chose combined inner and outer sciences, like Feng Shui and political science, that gave her the foundation for building not only an understanding, an experience of the connection with everything through a sense of love.
For those that haven't experienced it the reference to Tom Campbell attempting to explain a right-brained world to a left-brained thinking being nearly impossible because it is experiential rather than intellectual.
Further on Laura explores looking back and identifying the manner in which she was able to move out of the constraints of early childhood trauma and find triumph through her personal discoveries.
First, she notes an inner voice that spoke in comfort and surety of her eventual safety. But first, she had to experience some devastating events that she reveals through her 'healed' reflection.
Zen asks, "Why are we so biased and prejudiced that we cannot see ourselves in another?" After a short struggle, Laura answers, "Fear." Considering how interconnected the electromagnetic spectrum is, could it be that the chime from her computer is a perfect synchronicity in edifying her answer.
She goes on to say that if she feels disconnected [fearful] then everything is a threat. Zen reflects on the notion as evidence of a kind of quantum entanglement with the unified field regarding synchronicities and need for further attention.
Much more happens that writing about it doesn't do it justice, you just have to listen and/or watch. Our discussion deepens into ways in which we both have found to further the connection with others, be better in resolving perceived conflict and engaging the inner-knowing and understanding of our processes that can be repeated with others effectively.
Laura shares several events that example the practical and pragmatic use of emotional maturity or being able to be the anchor in the center of the storm.

Lisa Ma converted a highly-developed skill set to fulfill a passion for helping humanity. She believes we're stronger together and can co-create a strategic path that unites superpowers toward a greater vision for humanity's future. Her superpower is connecting people, for instance. Others have gifts and skills that are complementary to a shift toward a healthy transformation.
We jump right in to the challenge many folks have today of enjoying being able to perform at peak in virtually any company position, yet feel a bit empty in relation to being able to do good things in the world. Lisa shares a bit of her travels and engagements around the world, yet that even with those events she still felt there was something missing. She was still seeking something more and sought out ways to be involved in philanthropy and volunteer work as a way to fill the gap.
Do you feel that there is something missing in your life in regard to engaging your passion for service? Many are discovering their passion for helping others now, especially with the challenges we're all facing on multiple fronts. Lisa found that her passion for service blossomed in 2020, starting with a great deal of introspection. She began to notice how synchronicities led her to discovering people, places and things in new ways.
Lisa goes on to reveal that she initially found the process intriguing from how she was experiencing a new living awareness, yet she was still analyzing the process through her old corporate-trained analytical thinking. She notes the difference between being in her head and thinking things through to find answers and being in her heart where she 'just knew' the answers to her queries.
We discuss the notions of spiritual awakenings and the process of taking skill sets to the next level. For Lisa, it was using technology to begin bringing people together to figure out how to help each other in the new virtual environment made possible by the sequestration conditions.
We weave a sharing of the process from multiple perspectives you will find inspiring and inviting. Lisa's way of bridging the very practical and pragmatic business-minded activity with the activities that explore more of the 'being' first and connecting and sensing each other, then learning how to serve humanity by working together better. She notes the co-creative process flows into many dynamics of paradigm shifting.
There's a lot of tasty tidbits and nuggets of nourishment for encouraging connecting, unleashing your own superpowers and connecting with others through the virtual opportunities at present.
You'll enjoy the conversation and please do subscribe and share. The ability, desire and sharing of conversations that matter is a superpower you hold, too.

One World in a New World with Mark O'Brien - Author, Founder/Principal, O'Brien Communications Group
One World in a New World with Mark O'Brien - Author, Founder/Principal, O'Brien Communications Group
Zen Benefiel, Author and Transformational Life Coach (BeTheDream.com) takes us on another apocalyptic (uncovering knowledge) journey in making sense common. Zen is a polymath, deep thinker and researcher and it comes out in his comfortable and open yet focused style.

In another apocalyptic chat, Mark starts off by acknowledging the children he's had the chance to share his books with (below) and how they have re-instilled his sense of awe and wonder. Children are fearless and haven't learned or been conditioned to be guarded about their awe and wonder. Regarding his children's books, he speaks to the creation of something given to the world and the responsibility that comes with it.
Mark's comments about what it was like to restore his awe and wonder are priceless and best heard than read. He goes on to say that he's been aware of that 'inner knowing' though he never felt he would ever be able to exercise it again. Do we surrender the sense of awe and wonder or is it taken away from us? What do you think?
What is your passion? Mark's sense of his greatest desire was to write, though he didn't feel free enough to do so. How do you feel about your passion play, or deepest desires and how you've been reluctant to proceed? Have you lost your parents or a loved one? How did that affect you? Mark speaks about his concern about his father's transition, how he would handle it and how he did.
How is your relationship with friends? Would they know you well enough to reach out to help when you need it? Mark shares about a friend that saw his depression and set him up with a therapist that he resisted at first, then weeks in he realized he was making a transition. Having someone to talk with is often what's necessary to make the personal transformation.
Zen offers that it isn't so much what the therapist says, beyond the questions asked, it's hearing yourself take the conversation out of your head and being able to listen to the words coming out of your mouth that allows a different level of processing that makes a huge difference. What kind of shields do you put up to protect yourself from life experience
We talk about real-life and Mark's experience in the ad agency he worked for, and was preparing to leave. He speaks about the transition from his implosion to and explosion of confidence and perseverance toward breaking out on his own. He shares a story about an experience in meeting a person in line at a coffee shop that spoke to him about her own explosion as a cancer survivor. You'll enjoy the spark from his connection that is evidence of awe and wonder restored.
Have you ever had the opportunity to participate in a collaborative exercise, like a writing class? How did you feel about participating? Were you afraid of being judged? What if you had an opportunity and knew there was nothing you could do wrong? How would that change your personal view of yourself? Mark describes an opportunity he created for others through a BizCatalyst360 Salon. (see below)
More insights, sharing and reflecting on similar situations continue throughout the balance of this conversation that you just have to listen to for the full effect. Thanks for watching and please do subscribe, share and comment. We've all got insightful moments and we're happen to share some of those to help us restore our humanity and transition into a brighter future than we have now.

One World in a New World with Doug Breitbart, CoFounder - Being in Systems
One World in a New World with Doug Breitbart, CoFounder - Being in Systems
Zen is a polymath, deep thinker and researcher and it comes out in his comfortable and open yet focused style.
What would you expect from a consultant specializing in the formation and launch of new businesses, the review and turn-around of existing companies, and optimization of operations, management team, business or revenue model, and marketing/sales strategy? This conversation is quite different than you would expect. Doug is more about BEing than DOing and assists others in doing so at organizational levels.
What does 'sovereignty' mean to you? Do you have it? Do you know you have it? Doug dives into his inner side of reality quickly to note that even if we don't want to admit it's there... it is. He relates a quick story about his introduction to a 'sensitive' and what she shared with him. What was your process for determining your life's course? Have you found one yet?
Doug reveals that early in life he really had no emotional connection to it. Life was about accomplishing, doing stuff and having things without much thought for others. He themes his beginnings as a contemporary version of a Neanderthal. Graduating from an Ivy League school with a law degree was no small accomplishment, though the 'work' kept him from connecting with life.
Even with the accomplishments he says he was rather bereft of self-awareness and consciousness. The entertainment industry was is home for a bit, culminating in a couple of artists with top five and top ten accomplishments. He had dramatic rise to success and an equally dramatic crash and burn. How did he move through that? Listen in...
Zen asks Doug to highlight some of the nuggets of learning along the way. HIs big take away, and offering, is don't feel like you have to go through all kinds of rites of passage to get somewhere; just go for it. Doug shares his experience in transforming his idea of reality (26 employees, top artists, offices and studios around the world) to being invited to a weekend personal development workshop that was extremely uncomfortable. You'll love what happened next. Listen in...
If you had the chance to transform your life into something you really need and want, why would you wait? Oh, there's a door that's scary to many and absolutely frightening to others. How many of those doors have you been presented with in your life and not taken advantage of them? How did you feel when you did walk through them?
Tuning in to this conversation could very well be one of those opportunities as Doug spells out the process that transformed his life over time and set him up with a new trajectory that he loves and offers a great reward in his service to others through organizational development.
Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the conversation! ... and do subscribe, too.

One World in a New World with Geoff Woliner - Author & CEO, Winning Wit
One World in a New World with Geoff Woliner - Author & CEO, Winning Wit
Zen Benefiel, Author and Transformational Life Coach (BeTheDream.com) takes us on another apocalyptic (uncovering knowledge) journey in making sense common. Zen is a polymath, deep thinker and researcher and it comes out in his comfortable and open yet focused style.
Geoff shares how he saw his position as Charter Relations Director as a way to learn from others around the nation and share what was working across the country to other chapters who were struggling. It gave him a way to help many by paying attention and connecting the dots like a holistic systems thinker. He mentions how chapters were a place of solace for those caught in the economic downturn in the late 2000s.
Zen mentions his experience in the aerospace industry in the late 80s and attempting to introduce interpersonal skills meeting with less than favorable results. 30 years later, the scene had changed in the human resource and instructional arena, which included highly motivated people with high integrity that really wanted to serve others professionally in ways that helped them grow.
Geoff's book, Leaving 2020, is our next tangent and he shares that the book is about the trials and tribulations of people in the current times, going into and coming out of Covid. The impetus came after his business, like many others, disappeared. He'd been writing and speaking for public events and when public events ceased, so did his work. He was faced with a catastrophic event, yet came out of it seeing an opportunity to perform differently, still loving what he was doing.
"When something really profound happens, it doesn't come from you, it comes through you," Geoff says, acknowledging this is a common sense within artists, writers and creative sorts. He talks about the theme of the book and the epicenter of activity, New York City, and how it affected the main character to the point where he jumps from a building. You'll have to read the book for the 'rest of the story.'
Geoff acknowledges that at first his action were completely ego-based in not wanting to work for someone else and being able to leap into that opportunity. Even though it was ego-based initially, he found that the process changed his perspective completely and the element of service returned in a way that gave him fulfillment and joy in ways he certainly didn't expect at first. He recognized the impetus to push him into a greater aspect of himself, he just knew this book was something he had to do.
We take a jaunt into a chat about consciousness, quantum physics, and the growth of our humanity offering possibilities for a new living awareness to enter our experience as a whole. Geoff relates his takeaway on 2020 as so many profound consciousness shifts forward that happened on a micro and macro level. He says if you were paying attention you could see it, otherwise it just seemed like everything was going to hell.
Geoff speaks to the saving grace of a cohort in England who began Zoom meetings just a way for people to stay in touch with each other, even though they were stuck in quarantine. He talked about the comradery that developed with people from all over the world. He reveals that many of those people became characters in his book and that they had as much to do with the writing as he did, just by their relationships.
There's more tasty tidbits hidden in the conversation that only by watching it will you receive the benefits of the wit and wisdom Geoff and Zen share through their apocalyptic chat. It will be worth your investment of time for sure.

From Geoff: "Seldom does one meet someone who can be called, "friend" and "spirit guide" breathlessly in the same sentence, but Zen fits the bill. I had a chance to work with him when I was the liaison to the local learning & development chapter he captained, and even then, I knew Zen was a cut above. Highly intuitive, empathetic, personable and possessing a zest for knowledge and helping those around him, working with Zen in any capacity is an experience that will enrich your life immensely."

One World in a New World with Dr. Pat Boulogne - Author, Health Coach & Strategist
One World in a New World with Dr. Pat Boulogne - Author, Health Coach & Strategist
Zen Benefiel, Author and Transformational Life Coach (BeTheDream.com) takes us on another apocalyptic (uncovering knowledge) journey in making sense common. Zen is a polymath, deep thinker and researcher and it comes out in his comfortable and open yet focused style.

Dr. Boulogne's younger years, growing up in a neighborhood of mainly boys, put her in a more explorative environment as curiosity about Nature led her into places girls weren't necessarily going. She relates that growing up that neighbors just didn't lock their doors. It's much different today and kids don't often have the opportunity to explore Nature.
She relates her process of being introduced to Oriental Medicine and that during her early years she had been working toward PreMed and had all the credits necessary. It occurred to her that the hospital wasn't really a place for people to get healthy, especially when life's activities were much healthier activities.
We corroborate that the focus of our attention, intention and interactions are primary functional disciplines that lead to changing lifestyles from the gloomy to the glorious, even for the terminally ill. Pat offers that even watching 'happy' movies and shows are effective in changing the body's chemistry which was also mentioned by Dr. Melissa Hughes in a previous interview.
Dr. Boulogne talks about a time when her office location had a tree for hugging, just outside her door. She'd recommend giving it a hug, which sometimes caused a bit of reticence in her patience due to the 'odd' behavior and its perception by others, "What if someone is watching?" Her response, "Who cares?" So what. Live joyously. It's your health.
Our conversation moves to the inner and outer 'talk' going on with most people. Dr. Pat shares that is is just 'talk' and that the true power in oneself is realizing we are in charge of our thoughts. She shares in such cases of realization, it's like a rocket ship for better life experiences when one realizes they are in charge of their thinking.
Check in to her comments about having superpowers. What is/are yours?
Pat mentions she operates on a kind of Einstein's time theory where she has her list of things that need to be done and the time allotted for accomplishing them. She states that turning her attention, intention and interaction toward achieving those 'goals' for the day more often than not allows her to complete the tasks and have time left over. Imagine if you were able to craft your day with such precision and then allow the process of focus to create the flow of completion.
Pat's sharing of her understanding and wisdom about the mammalian brain activity parallels my conversation with Dr. Hughes as well. We further discuss the trends of moving out of last centuries constrictive notions of command and control environments toward a more aware and open framework that can adapt and change through our mind flow.
You've just got to listen to the rest of the discussion as it holds wonderful insights and revelations as to how we can alter our living awareness to include a much larger dynamic of life and is accompanied by the ability and capability for change. After all, we're in a tight spot globally right now.
Wouldn't it be great to explore new possibilities with curiosity, questions and trips down the rabbit holes to discover and share opportunities to achieve great things for ourselves and humanity?

It doesn't matter whether you really care about what's going on between your ears the way Dr. Melissa Hughes does. You will enjoy how she brings much needed discussion to light - how the brain works and what we can do with that knowledge.
As a fourth grade teacher, she came with the question, "How can I be the best teacher I can be if I don't understand how the brains work, or how the brain quirks?" You'll enjoy the details she offers as to how and what we've learned about the brain.
She shares that the boon in brain research started in the 1990s under the Bush administration, which sought to organize technology toward exploring the topic. Melissa relates her trying times as a teacher in Ohio and the effect of emotional contagions and stress hormones from teachers to students regarding the new high-stake tests that had been introduced.
The learning she found as a teacher and applying in the classroom was not just for the classroom, it actually helps throughout life. She relates how the 'happy chemicals' triggers the higher thinking functions of the brain and shares more definitive details about the chemistry and functions. Have you ever had a 'What was I thinking," moments? Melissa offers some insights in observing our interactions for self-growth.
What all is happening outside of our awareness? How do we find out? We move into noting various pieces of awareness, such as confirmation bias, that affect interactions on personal and professional levels all the time. Intellectual humility comes over time by seeking out other opinions and perceptions that are in direct opposition to our belief systems.
What do you do to engage intellectual humility? Do you know how? Melissa offers some possibilities as to how one might engage the process, though she notes it takes a lot of discipline to do so. Her research into creating 'atmosphere' and 'experience' in restaurants found much detail of other perceptions we have in the moment that we aren't conscious of in the moment.
How do you or we use the invitation to experience more? Melissa starts with attention and intention (perhaps interactions, too). Do we really pay attention to everything we are feeling or sensing in the moment that affects how we engage each other and our situational experience.
How do we see the world? Is it through just our own experience or do we consider what has shaped another's point of view? Melissa mentions that we must learn this behavior, that we aren't necessarily given the natural skill. We have to develop the self-awareness over time and through disciplined effort.
How do we build psychological safety and emotional intelligence in the hybrid world? Melissa shares some details from current research and considerations that you'll find intriguing, if not useful. Further in there are some suggestions for putting this awareness of how we affect our own consciousness and others similarly into practical use. She offers a challenge for testing it.
Melissa says we need more human connection; those moments of happy thoughts that occur when people interact in healthy ways, like sharing a smile. She shares three techniques to find balance and 'happy thoughts' in the moment. They are all things that affect the brain/body connection. If you can breath, you can put them into action.
"Pay attention to what you are paying attention to," was Melissa's parting gift.

One World in a New World with Tom Paladino - Scalar Energy Researcher
Tom Paladino has over 25 years of research and study of scalar energy; a new way of looking at consciousness. We begin with a brief clarification of what scalar energy is, which Tom states is simply 'consciousness.' He shares that discovering Tesla's work early in life inspired and intrigued him to pursue further study of scalar energy. A reference of conversations with 'people from elsewhere,' edifies what Tom has found, too.
When we speak of 'energy,' perhaps we've been sequestering its capacity for understanding because we've been looking at 'it' through only electromagnetic lenses. Tom relates there are two kinds of energy; electromagnetic and scalar. He feels the mind and heart are both scalar energy driven, from the sense of their connection to our reality; that feeling and thinking are scalar activities. How does that work from his perspective?
Tom brings the questions of how thought is scalar, it's non-physical, and that our days are a result of how we 'project' our waking 'mood' into the day. The discussion moves to suggestions as to how to make oneself aware of the 'stinking thinking' and being able to shift on the fly. He demonstrates examples through his own realizations and the discipline necessary to simply be aware of our thinking.
Looking for the positive directions or opportunities is always a choice. Tom says just being realistic about moving throughout the day is just being your best in the moment. Whether prayer, meditation or just intention, just doing the best we can in the present moment is what shifts our reality to experiencing a better life personally and quite likely for those around us, too. What kind of examples will Tom share? Zen reflects a varied of similar views from different perspectives, too.
So what can the individual do to promote their well-being? If it begins with 'consciousness' then managing life with simple daily goals moves the needle one day at a time. Tom offers that daily goal setting, even simple ones, changes our reality toward living a happier and more joy filled life. He makes a distinction between have a goal of being successful and having a purpose in life. He recommends giving attention, intention and interaction toward the latter.
There is a psychological set point. Once you develop that path, that you are the captain of your ship, people take that seriously. Human proclivities often include self-deprecation instead of self-empowerment. Recognizing and changing those patterns, the internal dialogue, is key in reorganizing one's life toward finding purpose. He believes if we all (each of the 7.9 billion) would just do one kind act a day, make one improvement on self a day, it's possible to experience paradise on earth.
If you experience undesirable others, just do your best to uplift them is Tom's advice. He mentions prayer as a tool for self and others, too. If we consider that within the realms of consciousness, there is a call and response aspect that just might be correlated by advancing our understanding of quantum entanglement.
He, like many, suggests we look for what brings us together and not what divides us. We all share this in common, regardless of our background, diversity or religion. It's a quantum relationship, according to Tom, that will soon unite us with understanding. That understanding of how to work together better touches the essence of what One World in a New World represents.

One World in a New World with Dennis Reina - Author/Leadership Consultant
It's been over a decade since Dennis and I first met in Crystal City, VA. at an American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) international leadership conference. Now the Association for Talent Development, the event was full of instructional developers and chief learning officers. His work and business has grown substantially since then.
Dennis Reina, Ph.D. and his life and business partner, Michelle Reina, Ph.D. are the founders of Reina Trust Building®, a global consulting, assessment, coaching and development firm that has worked with leaders and teams in more than 250 organizations worldwide, and on every continent.
Reina helps organizations build and rebuild trust and exceed business goals through the power of human connection, no matter the company size, structure, location or market challenges. Trust Building makes these organizations measurably more energetic, adaptive and capable.
Our conversation covers his early explorations of taking advantage of traveling companions and finding his first job. It was a very interesting an unique one. He shares some about a Near-Death Experience he had early in life, too. We jump around from one spot to another and eventually land in a discussion about trust.
Dennis gets a bit caught up in books and models in an effort to explain what he's found leads to being able to discuss and initiate organizational culture trust. Why is it so important and how do you build or re-build trust within an organization?
Dennis is a cancer survivor as well, and we speak about the process of getting through the tough patches and grow into a future with less trepidation. We discuss more about questions, developing processes and building trust with self and others.
Like a true presenter, he pulls out a prop to help illustrate the various factors involved in trust. Bringing in the sense of trust and how it feels, with a little sidetrack, I was searching for a deeper explanation on how the trust in interpreted by the body. How would a leader learn how to tune into the gut, the intuition, of how the trust level is discerned.
Dennis shares some methods of inquiry to flush out details using the framework he and his wife have developed over the years. Character, Capability and Communication all affect trust. How do we work through questions that need to be asked in order to move the playing field to the next level and invite players to participate in a more authentic and honest fashion?

One World in a New World with Kosta Makreas - Founder, The People's Disclosure Movement
And now for something completely different. We've been diving deep into the lives of those in the trenches in business, organizational development and systems transformation in a variety of ways. Kosta Makreas brings a new dimension to the conversations, perhaps in some ways apocalyptic to our audience, from having a professional career in software engineering to interacting with Star People.
As two Hoosiers reuniting, we launch into some familiar territory for us. Both of us have been active in Ufology for decades, though Kosta has taken a front seat, so to speak, with his efforts to build, organize and support a vast network of folks who want to make contact with Star People, which is their preferred nomenclature according to Kosta.
What may seem odd or peculiar or even scary to some has been lifelong experiences for others. Kosta shares how his interest began as a youth and the challenges he faced growing up in a period when it wasn't too popular to talk about engaging aliens, let alone calling them Star People. His shares a synchronistic experience his wife had while he was away on a CE-5 week-long campout.
If you haven't heard the term, CE-5 refers to human initiated contact with Star People. Kosta's work began with Steven Greer and quickly evolved to developing contact groups around the world on his own. Our chat moves into discussing the People's Disclosure Movement, taking the notion of disclosure and putting it in the hands of the people instead of governments that have not been able to announce their knowledge.
Research and study is always necessary, and Kosta mentions a study that includes over 4,000 accounts from around the world. It was performed by an organization called FREE, under the title of Beyond UFOs - The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non Human Intelligence. We discuss Kosta's work with ET Let's Talk (https://etletstalk.com) and the numbers of people involved. You might be surprise, though perhaps not.
If your curiosity is sparked, you'll enjoy the conversation for sure. We only scratch the surface of the work and how it affects those involved. For decades it wasn't popular to speak up or out about this topic and now folks seem to be flocking toward their own discovery and engagement.

One World in a New World with Dr. Pauline Crawford - Conversation Maker
Poignant, Purposeful, Insightful and Inviting
Dr. Pauline Crawford has been engaging apocalyptic chats in her work, Magical Conversations, for decades. She's an activator and wayshower for creating change in how we interact conversationally and ultimately in our functional daily lives; professions and relationships.
Reflecting on Walking on the Moon or being in the Lighthouse with a little bit of alliteration, Pauline shares that she's always been at the center of communication and conversation. Her early observations of the flow of conversations, or not, lead her to dive deeper into the nature of conversations. Developing a process called Third Space, which became 'Magical Conversations.'
Our conversation advances to the discussion of 'flow' and the aspects of mind flow and heart flow. The question of noticing the disconnects, those things that constrict or inhibit effective and flowing conversation (bias, criticism, judgement, etc) and how she facilitates the transcendence of them.
She speaks to the aspect of making sense common through conversation being a key aspect and offers a technique to bring balance with a statement of intent and the choice as to whether to stay or go. It isn't matter of whether to stay or go, it's a matter of recognizing the activity. The notion of unity in diversity is a challenge for some, yet the wisdom is that everyone is equal in the conversation even in their difference.
How do we translate the feelings and sensations we have during conversation? Traditional methods are metric-driven with little attention given to the mind flow, the sensemaking. Pauline shares the observation that virtually every professional realm has been ignorant of the natural gifts of people because we focus on materialism. Nature has a plethora of aspects that we haven't considered that offers a reflection of the direction we are evolving toward.
What is your 'one word' for the future? What does it illicit within you? What does it engage in you? She asks an interesting question as prep work before joining the Magical Conversations regarding specific focal topics, "Are you willing to be here before you get here?" Consider the implications of that question. How would you answer it and what do you need to do within yourself to answer and show up in the affirmative?
Dr. Crawford offers an open invitation to participate in the World Wisdom Circles that bring people together to explore how different cultures express the same concepts using different words. Imagine if you had the ability to recognize the similarity where you first thought there was a difference or division?
The notion of order in chaos offers an insightful reference that brings the conversation back to mind flow. So many points of order appear at times that it's difficult to acknowledge and draw attention, yet the sense is of connecting and flowing well.
The comfort in ambiguity and the ability to be vulnerable in our conversations, whether in purposeful gatherings or normal life, bring opportunity for better relationship building. The awareness of something 'feeling' good (connected) compared to the sense of feeling bad (disconnected), brings the ability to discern whether something is 'desirable' or 'undesirable.'
The balance of our conversations flows around the sensemaking of feelings, words, vibrations and the conscious or unconscious manner in which we engage them or ignore them. Pauline's dream is to remove all the 'negatively connotated' words in our language that create separation in their use.
We really hope you'll offer some time and consideration of our content and conversation.

One World in a New World with Donna Nelham, Inspiration Strategist & Co-Founder - Unstitution
One World in a New World with Donna Nelham, Inspiration Strategist & Co-Founder - Unstitution
Zen Benefiel, Author and Transformational Life Coach (BeTheDream.com) takes us on another apocalyptic (uncovering knowledge) journey in making sense common. Zen is a polymath, deep thinker and researcher and it comes out in his comfortable and open yet focused style.
Make sure you subscribe, please! You'll be glad you did.
Closed Captions (CC) in multiple languages, though Google Translate may not be the best.
Cogent, Coherent, Conversational Dive into Creating New Ways of Doing and Thinking
Donna is co-founder of Unstitution - a purposeful coalition, a mindscape, a do-tank and a robust, modular methodology set that meaningfully brings together people and organizations from across civil society, business and government sectors.
We enter the Wayback machine again, highlighting the discussions going on in psychology about the need for greater awareness and reflection Donna found early in her career. She mentions, too, that early in life she realized a rather idealist view in that she wanted to do something to make the world a better place. She wanted to feel like what she was doing made a difference, like most Cultural Creatives at the time.
We peered into the early years, as a teen, when she first became aware of her empathic listening and giving herself permission just to be herself. Early beginnings of exploring self, paradoxes and realizing that the seeming polarities were part of a whole, not something to cause separation. Donna mentions that who we are at an individual level is always important, though we are connected to something much larger.
Wanting to be valued for the things most valued in self is a point Donna makes and reflects on the need for being clear about what one values, first. Being a pioneer in the field, like many of our guests, she relates that early on there were disconnects in the readiness for acceptance within industry, as well as private and public organizations. Alas, she sees a trending of authentic relationship building through deep listening and more open conversations.
Donna chronicles her transformation from working inside corporations and organizations to exploring a larger scope of working with them from a liminal space, literally. She makes a point that she and many others live in that liminal space and just haven't found the right platform or space to co-create at larger levels in the world. Ego to Wego, Ego to Eco... the merging in service is trending.
Transitioning from the Industrial Age to the Age of Human, as she defines, is that trend toward harmonizing the 'new' with the benefit for self, others and Earth. Unstitution was born to begin working in the space between, making sense and making sense common with best practices that bring diverse people together for common purpose - a better world.
There's much more in the conversation to discover that offer insight and inspiration with diverse applications across personal and professional relationships and community development.

One World in a New World with Lynn K Russell - Author, NDE Researcher
As always, please subscribe to our channel to keep up on the cross-referencing of thought-leaders and the intertwining of philosophies and practical applications.
Topics: Out of Body, Near-Death, Expanded Awareness, Shared Understanding
Have you ever had an Out-of-Body or Near-Death Experience? How did you relate to it initially?
Lynn K. Russell took the road less traveled for sure. It entailed a diverse and long misunderstood realm of out-of-body and near-death experiences. Many have these types of experiences yet aren't able to integrate, let alone make useful. Lynn's life reflects a deep and investigative path without much direct experience of her own.
Lynn describes her experiences that lead her into a much broader understanding of the nature of our consciousness being able to experience reality in much different ways than most of us know. From the micro to the macro view of reality, Lynn relates her tutelage from sources unknown. She describes the difference between 'hearing' and 'knowing' in her being during certain events.
She relates that the experiences more often than not were frightening, due to the amount of responsibility that seemed to be present for her. It was overwhelming at first and without others to confer, it was a process of acquiescing to a greater understanding within. She often felt like she was just going back to school, though a much different school than we're used to.
The 'nothingness'.... What is it, really?
Our conversation goes into many areas of life, love and the relationships we develop with ourselves, others and the world. Lynn relates some deeply impactful events that certainly lead to an expanded awareness and eventual comfortability with 'people from elsewhere;' across a plethora of places.
Lynn prompts Zen to relate his own reflection of an experience (OBE) in his quest for understanding the relationship of the 'trinity' across the realms of math, science and religion. His sharing has some truly expansive implications that seem to really make sense. Perhaps it will to you as well.
If you've had experiences that are 'out of this world' and have been hesitant to explore or investigate, this conversation will give you so many perspectives to view and relate to, perhaps, and help you to feel more grounded in the reality that these things actually do exist and are acceptable and valued for you and many others.
If this all sounds intriguing, then by all means do explore Lynn's work, her books and the ability she has of making that liminal space more real and understandable for others. We sorely need more dot-connectors across the myriad of interconnected experiences each of us are exploring.

One World in a New World with Robert Butwin - Business Strategist and Networking Mentor
We jump in the Wayback Machine, minus Peabody and Sherman, for a few moments in exploring Robert's early years in business and his family's challenges in continuing to grow the business. He introduces his awakening to a new way of being through Wayne Dyer's work.
Robert loves acronyms and shares several - DENIAL, 3D Thinking and how we tend to be self-limiting in our analysis paralysis. He talks about his 'catch up' work and create the skill set necessary to overcome his awareness of his shortcomings.
He reveals that he became a kind of floating university with his travels by including audio materials that he listened to nearly every spare moment. Robert speaks about the importance of eye contact (with a smile) in communication being critical to building effective relationships.
Zen hits the nail on the head, softly, with the reflection of Robert's wisdom in building a successful business being a result of where you put your attention, intention and interactions. Pay attention to the story of crossing the room.
What are your defining moments? Robert shares the many make-overs in re-inventing himself time and again as a serial entrepreneur as a young man and throughout his life. Robert also mentions an understanding that has some tenure in the networking field - your net worth is in a direct relationship to the value of your network.
Robert reflects the necessity of being leaders by example, and that this 'better way' will result in the transactions on both personal and professional levels. Perhaps these transactions will help to evolve our way of doing business and living together.
We discuss the need for recognizing our stinking thinking and Robert mentions having a 37-year marriage with a brilliant woman that helps to reflect wisely when his thinking is awry. Shortly later we discuss the observance of breath to which his response edifies the practice of meditation and mindfulness.
The stumper: Is there a natural design embedded within us that is emerging now? He responds with the change in human behavior is a result of necessity. He doesn't look at barriers and boundaries, his desire to explore and understand cultures has taken him to 41 countries so far with a goal of 70 for he and his wife.
You'll want to pay particular attention to is his answer regarding the best methods of interacting with people on line today. How do you interact with your online contacts in building relationships? How do you provide value and service to your clients or contacts? Is it positive, significant and impactful for them?
At around the 53-minute mark Robert shares his recommendations for shifting our thinking. We explore a few tasty tidbits in developing awareness and building relationships. Robert stops Zen cold with a question, too.
In closing... become more conscious and aware of all the signs around you.

One World in a New World with SethEliot Santoro - Author, Intuitive Business Coach
We dive into a laughter-filled excursion into the journey Seth's had to be able to respond to life smiling through the challenges we all face. Laughing in the face of tragedy does not deny the event at all, although some use it as a coping strategy. Not the case with Seth.
How do we deal with tragedy in life? What are some of the ways in which we can help others in process of life-threatening situations? How do we deal with the devastation of death? We all feel it in some way, and Seth highlights the individual journey through such events.
We talk about the process of writing and how it affects our lives and the personal growth and the accompanying catharsis in review of our work in progress. The SMILE acronym Seth uses references Dr. Kübler-Ross's work. Zen's tangential nature got inspired from Seth's comments about his process, edifying the nature of our shared journeys while adding some scenery.
Another acronym Seth takes advantage of is GRACE, which he unpacks in relationship to how we engage others in ways that are congruent in our personal evolutionary process the runs from lifting up to a release of tears. Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission and space to just allow the process. It's truly freeing.
What does ascending at the speed of surrender mean to you? What is your transformational process? Do you have one. Seth shares his awareness of his methods and passion that has worked for his clients and benefited him as well. He shares the way in which he's learned how to work with the inner imagery and senses that help him to serve his clients.
Seth also brings up the notion of plant medicine and how beneficial it is, yet how often it isn't treated with the respect it deserves. He offers some essential clues about their use. Can other rituals or process offer similar results? Seth shares a technique that's he's been working with recently.
You can tell Zen loves the conversation as a way to corroborate many of the lines of understanding that converge in the healing process on our way to finding wholeness. You'll do well to listen to the entire conversation and the tasty tidbits sprinkled along the transformational trail.
One of the things we are learning to accept as additional help is the notion of mediumship and that it does have practical applications. Reach out and connect with Seth if you find his work appealing. Seth's parting offering to help with the development of intuition is precious.

One World in a New World with Dr. Eric Zabiegalski - Senior Strategist
You'll want to take notes on this apocalyptic chat as it is full of comparative ideas and resources to explore. Dr. Zabiegalski began his interest in human dynamics and questioning how we work together better from his own quest for such. His experience and expertise at high-level consulting and strategic management offers another perspective of how business and human interaction evolve.
The development of the learning organization philosophy from Senge's work, as well as Tom Campbell, reveals a certain depth of clarity. Eric speaks of feeling like an imposter as a right-brained thinker in a left-brained world. How is this an important aspect of how we distinguish between our emotional/intellectual 'home room' and what we need to do for the greater good?
How do you perceive 'exploitation' and 'exploration' as processes in your business or life? Eric has explored research and personal experience in developing an understanding of the 'ambidextrous organization.' How do we balance? Ever heard of the corpus collasum? The conversation about it will expand your view of how our brains work. The exploration of masculine and feminine cranial comparison is exquisite.
What about the outlier aspects in functionality? How do we embrace and engage diversity?
Are we missing the benefit of minds we've considered to be on the fringe of cognitive abilities?
How do you surf the perfect wave in your quest for balance and functionality, let alone survival and thrivability in the world?
Where is your attitude toward divergent thinking - diversity and learning development - that balance of what matters. How do you acknowledge the 're-union' of genders in a movement toward balance?
You don't often hear a strategist and senior consultant speak toward energy and quantum physics, let alone the aspects of human dynamics in emotional and intellectual performance. Can these ideas, notions and practical applications help us in creating the 'great weset' or 'new normal' in this transcendent event period now.
How comfortable are you in ambiguity? Our conversation evolves into the nature of asking questions. Eric's status as certified coach and board member of the World Institute for Action Learning provides great insight and understanding into developing questions that lead us to solutions across a plethora of practical applications.
You'll enjoy the applicable advances in the conversation on the rise of the ambidextrous organization and the ability of empowering the self-alignment of people, places and things. Is there 'One Energy' that drives our bus and our choices are what manages the manifestation of flow in our lives?
If you've wondered about the nature of consciousness and the magic of observing, connecting and implementing better application of your internal software, Eric has a wonderful expression of an overview of our cranial activity that's gotten us to this state of our evolution. How do we proceed? Listen in to our exploration for keen insight and paradigm shifting moments.
Thanks for your view and for further information on Eric and his work...

____________________________________________________________________________________________
From Eric: Left, Right, Zen is a whole brain thinker and being a guest on his One World podcast was like an energized conversation with an old friend. From human consciousness and cognition to work, organizations, and being comfortable with ambiguity. Listen in and join the conversation and learn how to surf the perfect wave every day.

One World in a New World with Octavia Brooks - Intuitive Relationship Strategist
And now for something completely different, truly... Imagine if you were able to gracefully get through the things that are difficult for you. We'll explore how neuroscience relationship strategy ignites the mind's ability to cognate and coagulate.
What if you were able to communicate with realms others don't experience, let alone even know exist? How would that ability function in the world today? What if you were able to learn how to use them in practical and pragmatic ways? Our guest has done so and offers guidance for many.
Octavia and Zen leap into a world unknown to many, yet experienced by a growing number of people as they develop their own self-awareness and begin to ask questions about reality. Highly sensitive people have learned how to create bridges between personal and professional worlds. How can those sensitivities be developed and understood better?
What are the questions you are asking about the reality you're experiencing? How simple or complex are they? Octavia shares some great considerations for how we move through those items. We switch from the personal to the professional: How does this ability affect the way we do business? Do we overthink or acquiesce to inner awareness that's not always easy to articulate?
Octavia's work with entrepreneurs includes a variety of activity to utilize the full sensory experience of working toward goals and objectives and using the mind in more effective and efficient ways. How do these kinds of skillsets operate in entrepreneurial, company or corporate culture? Can the left and right brain work in harmony and in conscious activity that promotes it?
"Everything is consciousness, especially with people involved," Octavia responds. Zen does a few spins of his own to relate and corroborate what Octavia expresses from her own experience. Her references are exquisite in this apocalyptic chat and you will absolutely enjoy the deep dive down the rabbit hole that has profound possibilities for YOU.
What are the possibilities coming out of Covid and co-creating a 'new normal,' as we move forward? How does she help entrepreneurs to achieve agility in the process? Is it about questions, mental health or learning about self first without the constraints of labels or diagnosis?
Our conversation moves into incredible insights and observation about life, love and the negotiation of details and events to achieve success. We cite a plethora of references and personal insights that offers a shift in paradigms on multiple levels.

From Mitchell... "I've been interviewed by over 300 podcasters in the last couple years and I have to say that Zen stands out as a beacon of purpose. He came prepared by researching ahead of time, and at the same time was open to the flow of the conversation and asked some amazingly cool questions that no one of his peers ever did.
He's smart, articulate, thoughtful and purposeful. If you are asked to be interviewed by him or are looking for someone to work with who does work that's not the norm, that's above and beyond your expectations, reach out to Zen."
