Interview with William Gladstone

Coauthor with Jack Canfield of The Golden Motorcycle Gang

Are you concerned that the earth is at a critical crisis point? Do you believe your life purpose is to make a positive difference in the world? Are you part of a group destined to work together to create a better planet? Let's find out with William Gladstone how we can make a difference in 2012.

Lotus Guide: There was a researcher named Tippler who talks about the Omega point, which is basically the point where the universe becomes self-aware and conscious. Which means that we are at some point on that journey as individuals. Where do you think we are in reference to the tipping point of becoming self-aware and conscious individuals?

William Gladstone: We are at a bifurcation point where it can accelerate rapidly or go backward and will all have to start over again.

Interview with Dr. Jacob Liberman

Introduction: Dr. Liberman has a doctorate in optometry and a PhD in vision science. He also has an honorary doctorate of science for his pioneering work with light and color. His search for a new model of wellness has led him to the use of vision exercises and color to assist his patients. He has helped thousands of people worldwide to see in a whole new way.

Lotus Guide: When you say that there’s more to vision than meets the eye, what are you saying?

Jacob Liberman: First of all, we don’t see with the eye and ultimately we don’t even see with the mind. There is something that observes the activity of the body and simultaneously observes what we call the activity going on in the mind. Ultimately it depends upon what the observer is seeing with—is he seeing with his mind or is he seeing with his eyes?

An Interview with Lynne McTaggart

Lotus Guide: I would like to start this interview by getting your feedback on something that is often referred to as the global brain, or as I like to refer to it, the evolving human consciousness. The condensed version is simply this: From the beginning of time it appears that the prime evolutionary force in nature has been to self-organize at whatever level it was at, then when that level has maximized its potential it reaches out and self-organizes into an even higher and more complex level. In other words, atoms self-organized into molecules, molecules self-organized into cells, cells organized into complex patterns to become the first organisms, and now those very same organisms have evolved into the necessary complexity to have self-awareness. This would seem to indicate that the next step would be for these planetary organisms we call human beings to connect and self-organize into the next level of complexity, called planetary consciousness, or as Peter Russell would say, the global brain. Is this what you’re talking about in your book, The Bond, when you speak of the space between things and energetically connecting?

Lynne McTaggart: Yes. exactly. When I talk about the bond I mean that nature has a drive for wholeness and has created us only in relationship like one giant superorganism. It’s a fact there is a connection between atoms and all of us in relationship with each other and with our environment. In all of our societal relationships there is a bond so profound and intricate that it’s impossible to say where one thing stops and another thing begins. So you see this mirrored in every aspect, just as you described, from the subatomic world to the world that we're more familiar with. So competition ends up being a false creation in our society.

LG: It seems to me that what has always been the evolution of consciousness has now become a conscious evolution because of our participation in it through self-awareness.

Lotus Guide: What have you learned from having cancer?

David Servan-Screiber: When I was first diagnosed, I was immediately reminded of my own mortality. Clearly, I had seen several of my patients die, was seeing this happen every week in the hospital, but it was as if it didn’t apply to me. … At 31 years of age, as a young and ambitious neuroscientist, it was not part of my horizon. Learning I had a brain tumor changed that quickly. And the surprise for me was that it gave life a much greater intensity, flavor, and I would even say beauty. As if I could see for the first time that life was precious.
