“This episode of Global Spirit explores forgiveness and healing on a personal and societal level, illuminating how spiritual practice and compassion can aid us on this most critical of journeys. Host Phil Cousineau brings together three guests who each approach the topic from a different angle. We see Ed Tick and his wife Kate Dahlstedt take a group of traumatized Vietnam War vets back to the land where they fought and killed, to help them learn the art of “forgiveness of the self” for what they did during a war almost 40 years ago. Program guest Azim Khamisa practices “forgiveness of the other” as he traces how he learned to forgive the boy who murdered his own son…. “

“This is just like the way we are with our minds. We learn to tolerate the way things are, then the mind will naturally accelerate it’s behavior and things will be worse again. The only solution is to quiet the mind and silently take control. Note I am saying silently. You cannot beat the mind into submission, you must dominate it will deliberate thoughts, and not acknowledging the trash thoughts that come into existence.”

This small booklet, “Awakened Women Igniting Global Transformation,” is making its way across America, hand-to-heart. Readers are inspired to pass along the amazing evidence documented by Vikki Hanchin, LCSW, of an historic, grassroots, global movement of awakening women, who are becoming catalysts for transforming the world. This booklet highlights stories and evidence of the impact that these awakening women are having globally, in ways large and small, from the women’s peace movement in Liberia that ended their country’s civil war, to weekly conference calls in the U.S. with visionary women that are mobilizing thousands of women to activate their feminine power to co-create a new world that works for all.

“The United States is leading an effort by a handful of antiwhaling nations to broker an agreement that would limit and ultimately end whale hunting by Japan , Norway and Iceland , according to people involved with the negotiations. The compromise deal, which has generated intense controversy within the 88-nation International Whaling Commission and among antiwhaling activists, would allow the three whaling countries to continue hunting whales for the next 10 years, although in reduced numbers.”

“I’m writing this post about Hulu because I’ve noticed on Hulu there are a larger percentage of environmentally conscious films and shows available, and a much higher percentage of ads are for things like wind power and solar energy and social activism. I’d so much rather have my kid watching something with those ads than the chemical cleaner and pharmaceutical ads on regular television.”

“Dreamgates may be more of a treasure map than a book — in the world of dream navigation, think “X” marks the spot for one jewel after another. Anything from Robert Moss is good, but this is one of his best. Originally published in 1998, and now newly reissued (by New World Library), Dreamgates is already a classic that rewards re-reading and greater study.”
