Putting the New Consciousness into Practice

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head
We've been bombarded with images and catch phrases heralding a new era for a number of decades now. From marketed scientific publications like the Aquarian Conspiracy to the blue environmentally pagan humanoids of Avatar to the end of the world apocalypse that Hollywood envisioned as the running out of the Mayan calendar, we've been up

Removing the Rose-Colored Glasses – program excerpt

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head
This week on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, we'll take off the rose-colored glasses to look at what we need to do to create the just society everybody in the 99% says they want.

Working for Ourselves

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head
"Get a job!" was a common insult hurled at the hippies back when I was a kid. I remember a few of them homesteading in the woods off the dirt road to my favourite swimming hole on Vancouver Island. I remember the homegrown vegetable gardens and the hastily assembled log cabins and the pungent odour

The Evil Man Does: Going Behind the Curtains of Power

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

It is extremely important to perceive that the established powers have been organized to control the will of the people, paralyzing their capacity to act. In fact, there is ample evidence that the socio-economic power in charge today holds back the development of humankind. But most critics (and there are many, including many excellent ones)

Analytical Trilogy – Going Beyond Pseudo Solutions

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head
The Tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan, the rising up in the Arab world, Haiti, the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, another war … this is all showing much more than human tragedy and environmental devastation. What it’s showing us is that our way of behaving on the planet, even our lauded
