Just received this info on a new film, Money and Life, and want to share it with you because of its importance to this moment in our evolution. It is a continuation of the thinking of Charles Eisenstein’s Sacred Economics…

John Fullerton is Founder and President of Capital Institute, a transdisciplinary collaborative space dedicated to exploring and effecting economic change. The Institute’s mission is to help create “a more just, resilient, and sustainable way of living on this earth through the transformation of finance.”

In our candid interview with John, he shared his own transformative journey that lead him from Wall Street, where he managed capital markets worldwide at JP Morgan, to establishing himself as a thought leader in the “new economy” space.

In this 5 minute clip, John speaks soberly yet with optimism about the immense challenge of our time: the biospheric reality that is forcing us to re-think economics as we have known it, which is as John states “essentially our religion today.”

Watch, listen, comment and share!

The producer and director of Money & Life, Katie Teague, is seeking $50,000 to complete this important documentary that demystifies and questions the broken institution of money. No small undertaking. The heart of her message is that debt creates scarcity and her film is an empowering wake up call to end the vicious cycle and liberate us and money from its capitalist constraints so we can celebrate abundance instead and co-create a system that serves people and the planet. And, as you can see, through her interviews, she is touching on the soul of the issue with intelligence and compassion.

“My hope is that we can create an economy where we can do what we love, where we can be rewarded for doing what we love,” Teague said. “It’s idealistic, but it’s only limited by saying it’s impossible. The movie shows that money is a human artifact. It doesn’t grow on trees or fall from the sky. “We created it, and over time it’s changed. We are living in a time of significant shift. Things change and the main institution that needs to change in our lifetimes is money.”

Please join me in helping Katie complete her project.

We begin the new year with a gift. A connection to a highly talented healer based in Santa Barbara, CA.

Just before I left on my trip to New Zealand and Australia, I visited Dr. Hesu Whitten to see if he could help me with a chronic shoulder and back problem I had suffered on and off with for several years. When I saw him, it was seriously on and I was in extreme pain having had a series of prolotherapy injections in my shoulder with only minimal improvement. I had seen a massage therapist for my back, again with little improvement. So, my expectations were not high.

I saw Hesu once before heading to New Zealand and he tested me and suggested several exercises for my back and shoulder as well a homeopathic and some herbs and as I write this post, four months later, I am amazingly, pain free.

Dr. Whitten has a very interesting life story which you can read about on his website, sbchiro.com along with an explanation and video of his unique protocols and healing tools like Clinical Kineseology which is an integral part of his Quantum Chiropractic practice. You’ll also learn that my healing journey was hardly unique with everyone from Olympic athletes to surfers to stone masons to anyone with a health challenge offering glowing testimonials.

Before you consider spending lots of money for medical care, you may want to make an appointment with Hesu whose fees are very affordable. I hope this article may help you save the time and money I spent before I was fortunate enough to work with him.

I just received a photo collage of Jessica Cox, an extraordinary young woman who, with her parents love and support, overcame a physical limitation and fear to become an outstanding contributor to life. She has been to the Pentagon, met the Pope, flys a plane and drives a car. Wow!

Do you know anyone with what appears a major obstacle in their life? You may want to send them to Jessica’s site (rightfooted.com) for inspiration.

It’s here! Foster Gamble’s new paradigm film, THRIVE. Like NPD, this is a solutions oriented project. What makes this film so interesting is that it was produced by a member of the P&G empire and member of the 1% who has worked to make the company better and used his personal funds to make this powerful film. He is a great example for other legacy family members of other large companies.

Before you watch it, you may want to enjoy the interview with Foster conducted by Worldwide Tipping Point. The info on that interview and a link to view the film follow. My sense is that this fiim will do as well or better than the surprise hit What the Bleep a few years back and the great new online film distribution platform it is available on, Play It Forward, offers you the opportunity to enjoy the film and pass it along as a gift to friends you feel would really enjoy it. Please let me know your thoughts once you have viewed it.

After spending 8 years and millions of dollars to create the documentary THRIVE: What on Earth Will It Take? I am honored to have Foster Gamble on Worldwide Tipping Point today in what I believe is his first public interview since the film’s release!

So what is this THRIVE film all about? It will become quickly evident in this interview what THRIVE is hear to say, and I encourage you to check out our dialogue (and the movie) straight away!

Interestingly, Foster Gamble is a direct descendent of the Proctor & Gamble empire and I ask him some pretty pointed questions regarding his unbiased ability to shine a light on the unsustainable nature of our financial systems while obviously coming from a ‘financially elite’ family as described in the film…and his response is fascinating!

THRIVE weaves all sorts of topics, including tangible evidence of extraterrestrial life, the meaning of crop circles, and the possibility of unlimited sources of clean, non-combustible energy being accessible right now…a truth that would completely revolutionize the way human beings live on Planet Earth!

I ask Foster about his decision to include all these seemingly unrelated topics, and how this all relates to a world where we can all thrive. Again, his answers are fascinating.

In the end I find THRIVE to be a timely and relevant film, and a critically important artifact for our times. While I don’t expect all of you to agree with everything in the movie (as I am sure it will be controversial), I believe it is worth checking out and listening to our interview because THRIVE’s perspective certainly provides a few important things to consider.

In the end, it is up to ALL of us to decide how we can reach the Tipping Point and thrive together in our world…and I am looking forward to all your feedback!

I am on Waiheke Island in New Zealand basking in the beauty of nature and the vibration of love. In this moment, I am compelled to share the rich multilayered beauty of Colette’s extraordinary wisdom in the form of a video I shot and she edited with the added music of cellist Jami Seiber. The seamless texture of this piece is deep and I suggest you wait till the sun has gone down, turn off the lights and watch this soulful transmission in full screen mode. And, if you want to continue the journey, consider ordering a copy of Colette’s extraordinary publishing masterpiece, Gateways of the Divine that features the writings of RUMI, KABIR, TAGORE, RILKE, as well as the modern poets DAVID WHYTE, PABLO NERUDA, and OCTAVIO PAZ.

GATEWAYS OF THE DIVINE offers timeless wisdom on the path to wholeness. Two of my closest and most respected friends describe GATEWAYS below:

“I am filled with reverence and gratitude for GATEWAYS OF THE DIVINE. It is the most inspiring, elegant, beautiful and audacious gift of genius I have ever received! From the top of my heart I send my thanks, love and blessings on this great work.”

-BARBARA MARX HUBBARD
Social Innovator, Speaker, Author, Co-Founder Foundation for Conscious Evolution

“GATEWAYS OF THE DIVINE asks for our willingness to be elegant, which reveals a deeper truth that our greatest knowing and our creative quests are also beautiful and soul nourishing, as well as devastating and redemptive. GATEWAYS OF THE DIVINE reminds me of the John Keats expression that “a thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Colette has created a joy forever…”

Gateways of the Divine originally sold for $260 per copy and thanks to the generosity and healing needs of Colette at this time, you can obtain 2 copies for the amazingly low cost of $108 or $54 each plus shipping. I am ordering another 2 copies of this treasure because it is simultaneously the most beautiful book I have ever seen as well as the most soulful. For anyone challenged with an illness of any kind, this book contains healing messages that can support them in their hour of need.
