Michael Specter: The danger of science denial

By |2017-07-13T17:44:02-04:00April 14th, 2010|Shifting Perspectives|

What do you think? The pendulum has swung. Some, like Michael Specter, may say too far away from science toward the intuitive approach. It is understandable, because our intuition has been silenced for so long. I, like Michael, look forward to the future and think we are in the most exciting time in history. But not only because of the incredible advancements of science, but because I see for the first time in history an opportunity to integrate knowledge, science and technology with intuition, consciousness and spiritual evolution. The Dalai Lama embodies this new direction, embracing all that science and technology have to offer with a deep, inner spiritual practice. Best selling author, Daniel H. Pink, emphasizes the need for a "Whole New Mind" to approach the future, a mind that integrates the best of the left more analytical elements with the right side intuitive brain.  I believe that when we stop debating one approach over the other, and embrace a way forward that integrates both, we will see real advancements on this planet.

The Dalai Lama and Me

By |2017-07-13T17:44:02-04:00April 12th, 2010|Guest Blogggers & Interviews, Mind, Body & Spirit|

I recently asked Brenda Harley, who is a writer and energy healer in our local community, to share some of her experiences, insight and inspirations with DesigningTransformation.com readers. She immediately responded by sending me some of the pieces she has developed over the past few months. She suggested that I pick one that "calls out to me". There was no question, one certainly called out to me. The post below not only is well written, discussing a variety of important issues, but it takes place on the day my husband passed away. That date will be etched in my mind forever. Coincidently, at that time a friend had asked me to attend the Dalai Lama event, but for obvious reasons I could not. Here is Brenda's inspiring account of that event. By: Guest Blogger -  Brenda Harley 4/10/09 Sitting in the Bell Centre and feeling the energy of all those who earlier had wrapped the entire building in a ribbon of shared humanity; I realized the enormity of the moment.  It had all been orchestrated so [...]

Believe and it will happen

By |2017-07-13T17:44:02-04:00March 31st, 2010|Education, Community and Leadership, Shifting Perspectives|

Often people ask me, does social media really work? It takes so much time, does it pay off? Is anyone really listening? There are times when the "mind viruses" even get to me and I question myself, wondering whether I can accomplish all I have set out to do. Last night, I went to see Deepak Chopra speak in Montreal. He was outstanding and incredibly inspirational, as anyone knows who has seen him live. This morning I was reminded of his "Seven Laws of Success". In particular, I was thinking of his sixth law, the Law of Detachment: Allow yourself and others the freedom to be who they are. Do not force solutions-allow solutions to spontaneously emerge. Uncertainty is essential on your path to freedom. As I try to detach from any particular outcome of my work, with the highest intention and hope that I can help others, I continue to post blog articles and communicate them through social media. This morning, I posted on Twitter an article on Smart Follow-ship that a good friend, Corry [...]

Are you Participating in Smart Follower-ship?

By |2017-07-13T17:44:06-04:00August 5th, 2009|Education, Community and Leadership, Shifting Perspectives|

We are observing evidence of the shift as we awaken to the power of follower-ship. This means that responsibility for everything about our lives lies within. We can no longer look outwards to blame anything on anyone, ever again. Follower-ship and leadership are merging. This makes follower-ship powerful because we want to be worthy of the ideals that our leaders communicate so charismatically.

The Dalai Lama is Following my Tweets!

By |2017-07-13T17:44:06-04:00July 30th, 2009|Shifting Perspectives|

"The Dali Lama is now following your tweets on Twitter." Less than a year ago I wouldn't have even understood the meaning of this phrase. The word "Twitter", let alone the concept of Tweets from the Dalai Lama were not in my lexicon a short year ago. Everyone talks about the power of the Internet and new social media. Receiving this message in my morning inbox is one of the most wonderful examples of this I have experienced to date !
