Organizing Synchronicity and Serendipity, Jessica Pryce-Jones: EP 268
Understanding meaningful coincidences parallels the fable of the elephant and the blind men--there are several aspects that make up the whole. Jessica Pryce-Jones interviews Bernie about the categories of coincidence in his book Meaningful Coincidences. The shape and complexity of meaningful coincidences is coming into clearer focus!

Jess started her career in finance where she learned about numbers, strategy and leadership. After 10 years in the corporate world, she did a psychology degree; she wanted to understand why some of her bosses were brilliant and others were frankly dismal. Those insights launched a new career facilitating, coaching, designing interventions and writing. Coachees and delegates tell her she’s warm, funny, challenging and rooted in practicality. Most importantly, she believes in using hard, soft, and intuitive information to get to the heart of complex and opaque professional issues.
Tapping into this different knowledge gives fresh insight into how to solve problems, particularly around our worries, work and wellbeing. www.webpsyched.com She’s worked as adjunct faculty in leadership development at many business schools including Cambridge Judge, Cass, Cornell, Chicago Booth, Cranfield, London Business School, and Saïd (Oxford); she’s also a Fellow of Harvard’s Institute of Coaching. Finally, she’s written two books (Happiness at Work: Maximizing Your Psychological Capital for Success and Running Great Meetings & Workshops For Dummies) and she’s trying hard to finish a third, Intuition at Work. When she’s not working, she loves weightlifting and walking her dog in the woods.

Voices from Beyond, Anne Archer Butcher: EP 266
A riptide carried Anne Archer to sharks. Terrified, a voice told her to lie flat. She argued with the voice, a man's voice coming from outside of her. Suddenly she was lifted up and carried to shore by dolphins who deposited her in chest high water and began nudging parts of her body. Her vibration level was increased permitting downloads of information she had never learned. By sharing the near death experience of her sister, she was able to provide surgeons information that saved her sister's life.

Synchronicity Melts Materialism, Eben Alexander: EP 264
Adopted soon after birth, Eben Alexander chose the neurosurgical subspecialty of vascular surgery only to discover that his maternal birth family carried a genetic predisposition to brain aneurysms. This synchronicity coupled with a rich NDE is driving him to help change scientific materialism, especially physicians, into recognizing our profound interconnection in the One Mind.

Dr Eben Alexander spent 54 years of his life honing a conventional scientific world view, including teaching neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School for 15 years. His profound near-death experience during a weeklong coma due to gram-negative bacterial meningo-encephalitis in November 2008 (in which the medical parameters obviated all but the most rudimentary of conscious experiences) changed his worldview from materialism (brain creates consciousness) to idealism, acknowledging the primacy and unity of consciousness in the universe, with the brain serving as a filter to limit the expression of that primordial mind. He works with scientists around the world to more fully explain these phenomena: https://galileocommission.org and https://scientificandmedical.net.

The Voice of the I Ching, Mary Kay Landon: EP 263
To I Ching reader Mary Kay Landon, the I Ching speaks to her like an intelligent entity with a voice. The questions the querent asks very much determine the I Ching's response. Unlike Tarot cards which are created by many different people at different historical times, the I Ching emerged from the third century B.C.E and has remained fairly much the same through time, The I Ching has more ethical and moral instruction embedded in it than do Tarot cards. Contact Mary at her website for a look into your near future, no longer than three months out.
