Holodigm: A Multidimensional New Music Paradigm

Like so many other disciplines, the old paradigm music industry is dying and the empowered artist is now in control of their destiny.

If you know any musicians who are starting or developing their careers, you will do them a great service by introducing them to Holodigm.

Inspiring High School Students

30% of high school students drop out and become burdens to themselves and society. Segue is a successful Ventura, California non-profit program that provides speakers to high schools who offer their experiences insights and wisdom about their career path to students. After participating in the program, close to 90% of students are inspired to stay in school and graduate. After viewing the video, I have decided to join the program and speak to students in my area. Perhaps you may want to make a difference and consider doing the same or if your local school does not presently offer this proven program, introducing it to the Principal.

Free University, 1,516 Lessons and Growing, One Teacher

Can one self taught teacher educate thousands around the world? Is this the future of education for millions?.

From a tiny closet in Mountain View, Calif., Sal Khan is educating the globe for free. His 1,516 videotaped mini-lectures — on topics ranging from simple addition to vector calculus and Napoleonic campaigns — are transforming the former hedge fund analyst into a YouTube sensation, reaping praise from even reluctant students across the world.

“I’m starting a virtual school for the world, teaching things the way I wanted to be taught,” explains Khan, 33, the exuberant founder and sole faculty member of the nonprofit Khan Academy, run out of his small ranch house, which he shares with his wife and infant son.

Khan has never studied and has no teaching credentials. His brief and low-tech videos, created in the corner of his bedroom, are made with a $200 Camtasia Recorder, $80 Wacom Bamboo Tablet and a free copy of SmoothDraw3 on a home PC. But every day, his lectures are viewed 70,000 times — double the entire student body of UC Berkeley. His viewers are diverse, ranging from rural preschoolers to Morgan Stanley analysts to Pakistani engineers. Since its inception in 2006, the Khan Academy website has recorded more than 16 million page views.

Had a QuantumThink Moment Lately?

QyantumThink fonder Dianne Collins and her husband and master coach, Alan Collins will deliver a new course that will include chapters from her forthcoming book.

“The sage must distinguish between knowledge and wisdom.”

-Mundaka Upanishad

“To live in wisdom means you are aware and responsive to the multi-dimensions of life. To live in wisdom you need knowledge of universal principles and how these principles work together. To live in wisdom means you use this knowledge as a way of life.  To live in wisdom means to live in an awakened state beyond mechanical conditioning, in a state of clarity that enables you to connect deeply. To live in wisdom is to be the wisdom. Wisdom is only alive when it’s alive in you.”

Excerpted from:
Do You QuantumThink? New Thinking That Will Rock Your World by Dianne Collins, Chapter 5 Wisdom: Knowing it and living it are worlds apart

A vital aspect of living the wisdom is to dance with the callings of your soul that we call “destiny.” Destiny isn’t a prediction; destiny is a predilection. Just because the tendencies are there, the passion and yearnings are there – doesn’t guarantee their fulfillment. We have to attune ourselves, listen to the promptings, and take definitive action. This kind of passion is not just a fleeting flash of desire. We are speaking about passion that consistently calls to you even when you try to ignore it. Like a “higher Self” that speaks to you and only you.

So you want to make a movie…

I remember attending a filmmaking seminar a few years back offered by the Miami Film Festival. A panel of filmmakers told their stories of how they raised the money to make their film. A montage of aspiring filmmakers filled the audience, listening intently for tips on how to get their films made. What I noticed and always found significant is that each filmmaker got their production money in a completely different way than any of the others. One gentleman was invited to a party, started telling the premise of his film and got the millions needed committed to him in a 10-second cocktail conversation. Another woman asked forty of her friends and family for a thousand dollars each and made her low budget film with the $40 thousand she raised. Still another auteur took years of going through an arduous venture capital process to finally raise the $10 million he needed to proceed with production. Clearly, no two ways of doing it were alike.

The moral of this story is this: you cannot duplicate someone else’s destiny. Call it karma or kismet or whatever you like; the fact is each of us is here to follow whatever our unique way is of doing what we are here to do. To discover what is takes to make “our movie” and follow the cues could be life’s greatest personal fulfillment.

You can understand why we are so excited about our new Mastery Intensive teleconference program, and why we continue to invite you.

It is a structure for discovering our passion, for connecting to our intent, and for creating the lifestyle that syncs with it, by becoming adept at QuantumThinking.

QuantumThink Mastery Intensive – Passion Accomplished, QuantumThink Applied
Teleconference series – Begins May 17th

You can only follow your passion if you are listening.
You can only listen if your mind is clear.
You can only hear when your mind is silent.

How do you get your mind to the state of quietude when the automatic nature of the mind is to chatter away with itself, the incessant internal dialogue that conjures up judgments, images and conclusions that take you on emotional trips.

How do you distinguish between the promptings of the higher Self-intelligence of the heart and the chatter of the “small” self?

This is an important part what we’ll be doing for the 11 weeks of our QuantumThink Mastery Intensive – “Passion Accomplished, QuantumThink Applied.” We invite you to come and make your “movie.” Make your move – get your passion into action.

Note to everyone: Even though we don’t “officially” start the QT Mastery Intensive until May 17th, participants are getting results already simply from reading the chapters.

In these live interactive teleconference coaching dialogues you will apply QuantumThinking in real time to real-life situations.

Ken Wilber on The Sixth Transformation & Embodying The Divine

From: The Integral Enlightenment Team

One of the most frequent questions we’re asked is, “What can I do to help accelerate the global shift in consciousness that is happening now?”

Recently, our friends at Integral Life released a video to their private membership of its founder and the world’s foremost integral philosopher, Ken Wilber, answering that very question.

You’re likely already familiar with Ken Wilber. But in case you’re not, he’s largely responsible for bringing what we now refer to as “integral philosophy” and “integral spirituality” into the world. It’s easy to say it’s one of the most important accomplishments of the past century.

In fact, President Bill Clinton considers him one of the most important thinkers of our time, and we’ve been influenced by and benefited from Ken’s work immensely. The truth is, few people have the kind of authority that Ken Wilber does when it comes to showing how we can take the next step for humanity.

In the video, he discusses the single most important thing he feels any individual concerned with our global welfare can do to help create an integral world.

Click here to watch the video.

Watching the video, you’ll realize how you–and everyone else involved in this emerging integral movement–are in a unique position to actually push the leading edge of consciousness forward… to help create a global transformation, the likes of which has happened literally only five or six times in history.

We hope you find it valuable, inspiring, and empowering. Listening to messages like Ken’s has never been more important and timely for this moment in our movement’s–and perhaps even humanity’s–history.
