EARTHwise Constitution For a Planetary Civilization with Dr. Anneloes Smitsman, Ph.D.

“There's a place within yourself where you can retreat, where you can revitalize, where you can be fully who you are, where you meet life. And when you find that place within, you expand it, make it bigger, breathe into that, and then bring energy from that space within you into your life, into your relationships, and into everything that you're doing.” – Dr. Anneloes Smitsman Join Karen Curry Parker and Dr. Anneloes Smitsman as they discuss creativity, systems, burn-out, and how we can use the imaginals within ourselves to continue our journey to the next level of evolution for humanity. The conversation cumulates in a beautiful explanation by Dr. Smitsman on her groundbreaking work with EARTHwise Centre to create the EARTHwise Constitution for a Planetary Civilization. Rather than the not-so-exciting constitutions we think about as they relate to the laws of humanity, this constitution is based on the principles of Earth jurisprudence and is intended to be a living document that evolves as our understanding of the world evolves. “Within all of us already lives the evolutionary potentials of our next step. Remember that the very universe itself is coded and designed in order to evolve further and to develop the capacities for being able to do so collaboratively in a way that supports an increasing self-awareness at the individual and the collective levels.” – Dr. Anneloes Smitsman Dr. Anneloes Smitsman, our guest today on Quantum Revolution, is a futurist systems scientist, award-winning pioneer in human development and systems change, and award-winning bestselling author. Dr. Smitsman is also the founder and CEO of EARTHwise Centre and the initiator and architect of the EARTHwise Constitution For a Planetary Civilization, https://www.earthwisecentre.org/constitution. Dr. Smitsman’s and Dr. Jean Houston’s bestselling Future Human Trilogy is available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CV4MZH8.   For more information and for full transcripts (starting with season 6), please go to our website at https://quantumrevolutionpodcast.com/.

The Story of Gaia with Dr. Jude Currivan, Ph.D.

“The universe was born, not in an implicitly chaotic big bang, but as the first moment of a fine-tuned and ongoing big breath.” Jude Currivan, today’s guest on Quantum Revolution We have been conditioned to believe that the Universe began with a big bang - an explosion that initiated chaos, disruption and, ultimately, lined up a series of random, chaotic events that eventually led to the creation of life on Earth. This assumption forces us to believe that not only is life a serendipitous and random event resulting from the birth of the Universe, we ourselves are simply accidental aspects of this cosmic event. In her new book, The Story of Gaia, Dr. Currivan shares scientific breakthroughs which detail the 13.8-billion-year story of our universe and Gaia, where everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose. Evolution is not driven by random occurrences and mutations, but by profoundly resonant and harmonic interplays of forces and influences, each intelligently informed and guided. The universe is created from meaningful information, which accumulates to form our reality. To learn more about Dr. Jude Currivan and her work, please visit https://www.wholeworld-view.org/ To purchase Dr. Currivan’s latest book, The Story of Gaia, you can find it at all major retailers and on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Story-Gaia-Evolutionary-Journey-Conscious/dp/164411531X/ Learn more about remembering the truth of you are and get your free Quantum Human Design Chart at https://freehumandesignchart.com/ Thank you for joining us for Quantum Revolution.

Living With Conviction with Toby Dorr

Why do people commit crimes?  Are people really bad?  Driven to be bad and consequently unable to be reformed by the prison system?  These are some of the questions we explore today with our guest Toby Dorr, subject of the Lifetime movie Jailbreak Lovers, and author of the number one bestselling memoir, Living with Conviction. Toby made a conscious choice to use her twenty-seven months in prison as a time to heal and make new choices about her life. Her turning point was when she was at her lowest, during her second time in suicide watch. The revelation she found during her time in isolation is what Toby says gave her life purpose and direction. None of us is our worst mistake. Nor are any of us inherently bad or incapable of reform and change. In our past conversations with criminal justice reformer, Justin Brooks, the topic of why people commit crimes has come up over and over again. The answer is simple. Trauma. By teaching that your life and your value are not defined by your worst mistake, Toby pushes people to move beyond the confines of their circumstances and live each moment with conviction, allowing its fullest, most beautiful potential to unfold. To learn more about Toby and discover the real story behind the hype, listen in and then get the book on audiobook, ebook, and print form at https://gracepointpublishing.com/bookstore/books-cards/living-with-conviction/ Find all books and audiobooks by Toby Dorr at https://linktr.ee/tobydorrbooks To connect with Toby, please follow the links below: Toby Dorr's podcast, Fierce Conversations with Toby: https://linktr.ee/fierceconversations Toby Dorr official website, https://tobydorr.com/ Toby Dorr on Instagram, @tobydorr Toby Dorr on Twitter, @TobyDorrAuthor Toby Dorr on Facebook, @TobyDorrAuthor About Toby Dorr: Toby Dorr dared the unthinkable. She liberated a handsome younger man, a convicted murderer, from Lansing Correctional Facility. Since completing her time in Federal Prison, Toby has achieved two master's degrees and rebuilt a broken life. Throughout her memoir, Living with Conviction, you will feel all the heart-pounding, tear-jerking, eye-opening experiences that touch the most primal human need: the need to be significant.

Listening to Challenges of Our Truth with Richard Jacobs

What is knowledge?  Who decides what is knowledge?  Or, on a more frightening note, what is truth? We see this game being played out on many fronts on the planet at this very moment. During this season of Quantum Revolution, we heard stories from leading-edge scientists who are caught up in the reality of having to work around the system to share their research with the world. In the next few episodes, you’re going to hear information and conversations that might challenge you on many levels.  Today’s guest challenged me to really hear someone else’s truth even though some of it is in direct conflict with mine.  There is a separate set of questions we also have to ask ourselves - especially during this time on the planet. If truth is malleable, who is right?  What are the absolute truths and values that you choose to live by? What if, together, we can find the solutions to the challenges facing humanity today - even if, individually, we are quite different? Richard Jacobs is the co-author of the Finding Genius book series and the creator of the Finding Genius Podcast. Richard Jacobs indulged his fascination with technology by starting the  Finding Genius Podcast  (https://www.findinggeniuspodcast.com/). He didn’t know that it would end up taking him into hundreds of specialties in science, technology, and medicine. His book, Finding Genius: Understanding Viruses: 30 Questions, 25 Geniuses, 100 Amazing Insights (https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Genius-Understanding-Questions-Geniuses-ebook/dp/B08WBW7JNT) is the result of 30+ interviews of genius-level science professionals. Rich’s thousands of conversations with gifted scientists shows how much promising work is going on right now that risks being starved of the funding, visibility, and other support it needs to thrive, often due to politics and conflicts of interest. However, there is only so much one person can achieve on his own. That is why Rich set up the Finding Genius Foundation (https://www.findinggeniusfoundation.org/ ) as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit – to support this breakthrough work in a way that is sustainable.

The Ecological Impact of the Funeral Industry with Sandy Gibson

On this podcast we talk a lot about sustainability and reframing the conversation around topics that seem sort of “certain.”  It is said that the only things certain in life are death and taxes.  Death, by definition, is not sustainable - or is it?  In America, the funeral industry is costly and environmentally destructive. This is not the most comfortable conversation for many of us.  We don’t want to think about death.  But, as my guest today, Sandy Gibson, founder of Better Place Forests, shares with us, death is a sacred part of life and when we reframe the conversation about the ritual of funerals in the context of creating a sacred space for remembering, we can explore healthier and more sustainable options for all the phases of life. Sandy Gibson is a man on a mission - a person with a clear Chief Aim and the passion and directive to fulfill it.  I have to say that, while I was curious about having a conversation about the funeral industry and exploring more sustainable ways of honoring our loved ones, I was deeply impacted by Sandy’s personal journey with death - and life. Obviously, the journey of processing a loss and turning it into some kind of greater purpose takes time. What Sandy so beautifully shared with his story is that tragedy, as painful as it can be in the moment - and the moments following - can also bring the seeds of purpose. Viktor Frankl, the Holocaust survivor and author of the book, Man’s Search for Meaning, stated that “In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning.”  Sandy Gibson has done just that.  He has turned the narrative around grief into a conversation about the sacredness of loss and turned the business of dying into an act of honoring in a sustainable and sacred way.  Perhaps the journey we take with death might seem less tragic if we fully embrace - with intent and purpose - the experience of Life. Sandy Gibson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Better Place Forests, a sustainable alternative to cemeteries for families who choose cremation.  When Sandy was a young boy, he lost his father to a stroke and his mother to cancer. After years of visiting their graves in a dreary Toronto cemetery, Sandy began to imagine what a better place to remember his parents might look like. In 2015, he founded Better Place Forests with his two best friends to give every family the chance to visit and remember the people they love in nature.  Based in San Francisco, Better Place Forests launched America’s first conservation memorial forests in 2017. Better Place Forests has been featured in the New York Times, on the Today Show, and by the World Economic Forum. Known for its strong culture, Comparably recognized Better Place Forests with national awards for Best Company Leadership, Best CEOs for Women, Best Company Culture, Best CEOs, and Best Companies for Women in 2019 and 2020.  Sandy graduated from Princeton University in 2006 with an A.B. in History. A lifelong entrepreneur, he headed several companies and worked in finance and software before founding Better Place Forests. He previously served on the Board of Governors of Royal St. George’s College.  Website:  https://www.betterplaceforests.com/ Follow Better Place Forests on Social Media: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/betterplaceforests/ Instagram: @betterplaceforests, https://www.instagram.com/betterplaceforests/ Please be sure to subscribe to the Quantum Revolution podcast on your favorite platform or on our website at www.quantumrevolutionpodcast.com so you don’t miss any of the amazing shows we have in store for you.  Next episode, we will be talking with Dr. Gerald Pollack about the structure of water.

The Creative Cure with Jacob Nordby

What if the most important thing we need to do TO SURVIVE is to be imaginative?  Activate our full creative potential? Your relationship with your creativity is a reflection of your relationship with yourself.  What you believe about creativity reflects what you believe about yourself.  But, somewhere along the way, we traded our natural, immersive creativity for logic, predictability, correctness, and responsibility.  Perhaps someone told you “you’re not that creative” or “your art is no good,” and you believed them. You may also have experienced something traumatic, which understandably shut down your creative self, as you had to prioritize survival over imagination. The single biggest thing we need to heal as we face an era of uncertainty and as we stand on the brink of a creative revolution that promises to hold the solutions to the challenges facing humanity today, is to believe in our own creative capacity.  Our guest today, Jacob Nordby, author of the book The Creative Cure, believes that EVERY HUMAN IS CREATIVE. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN UNCREATIVE HUMAN.  Join us we discuss why we need to cure creativity and how creativity is often the cure for our lives. Jacob Nordby is the author of The Divine Arsonist - A Tale of Awakening, Blessed Are the Weird - A Manifesto for Creatives, and The Creative Cure: How Finding and Freeing Your Inner Artist Can Heal Your Life. He is also the co-founder of The Institute for Creative Living.

Creativity and the Future of the World with Flora Bowley

This season our theme has been creativity.  We tend to think of creativity as art, music, dance and often designate being creative as an afterthought - something we allow ourselves to indulge in after we’ve done our real work. And yet, in the interviews we’ve conducted this season, we’ve heard over and over again that some of the world’s most innovative thought-leaders and scientists have a creative practice of some kind that supports them in being creative in their field. My guest today is Flora Bowley.  Flora is an artist, retreat facilitator, creative catalyst, and author of five books: The Art of Aliveness, Brave Intuitive Painting, Creative Revolution, Fresh Paint, and Earth is Holding You. Her colorful and layered paintings are also used to design calendars, cards, planners, journals, fabric, and unique product lines sold around the world. Flora encourages us to look at the art of our life, to explore how we can use creativity to unlock and unbind ourselves from old ways of being and thinking.  I hope that this interview will have you contemplating the role that creativity plays in your daily practice.  I hope that you’ll explore new ways to break free from the trap of hard metrics that puts you in boxes instead of inviting you to create your own world.  Without creativity, science is just repetition.  Propagating the same ideas over and over again.  Limiting the questions we ask and closing us off to the possibility of finding the elegant solutions to our challenges.  Without art, we can’t tap into our creativity.  If art changes everything, the very first thing it changes is our fundamental relationship with ourselves and our ability to move from inspiration to fulfillment, from idea to innovative solution.  Join me for this powerful conversation as we explore the role of creativity in transforming the world. Flora Bowley (pronounced bowl-lee) is an artist, author, and gentle guide whose creative process and soulful approach to living have touched thousands of lives. In her most recent book, The Art of Aliveness, Flora explores the vast ways in which the principles of creativity can serve as fuel for a more alive and awakened way of living in the world – no paintbrushes required. Find The Art of Aliveness at https://florabowley.com/books/ or at https://www.amazon.com/Art-Aliveness-Creative-Return-Matters/dp/1950253104/ Flora believes that creative expression is waiting to unfold within every person who is brave enough to trust, let go, and explore, and it is through this kind of heartfelt expression that truths are revealed, lives transform, and new worlds are born. She lives and creates in Portland, OR. If you would like to learn more about Flora visit https://florabowley.com/ Listeners can receive a 90-minute class with teachings from Flora’s book, The Art of Aliveness, as well as a selection of featured videos from her online painting courses.

Busting the Myth of the Mind-Body Connection and the Power of the Quantum Brain with Dr. Amit Goswami, Ph.D. and Dr. Valentina Onisor, M.D.

The wholistic approach to wellness, education, stress-relief, alternative medicine, and more lies in the integration of the mind, body and spirit.  The phrase, mind, body, and spirit - the holy trinity of wholistic well-being - from its inception, gives us a dilemma. There is no separation between the mind, the body, and the spirit.  They are One.  And yet, the nature of the way the brain works and the materialistic interpretation of life, insists that the mind, the body, and the spirit are all separate entities, chugging along independently, hoping to be harnessed in unity somehow as the end-result of “awakened living.” Materialistic thinking wants us to rank mind, body, and spirit in order.  Which comes first?  Which one is the most important?  Which one controls the functioning of the rest? In their new book, The Quantum Brain, physicist Dr. Amit Goswami and physician Dr. Valentina Onisor explore the mind, body, and spirit dilemma by untangling the myths of our understanding of the brain.  By learning how to use the brain as a tool to help us influence the way in which we perceive meaning and purpose in our lives, we tap into our natural ability to align our mind and consequently our bodies and the flow of spirit through our lives in a way that optimizes our potential for well-being and abundance. We are designed to work in collaboration with the flow of Life’s Intelligence working through us.  Join us for this mind-expanding conversation about the true purpose of the brain and how to optimize the function of your brain. To purchase The Quantum Brain on Amazon – click here (https://www.amazon.com/dp/9354273866/) Dr. Goswami and Dr. Onisor on social media: Facebook:  www.facebook.com/quantumactivism Twitter:  @quantumactivist Website:  www.amitgoswami.org Amit Goswami, PhD discovered the solution to the quantum measurement problem and developed a science of experience.  He developed a theory of reincarnation and integrated conventional and alternative medicine within the new quantum science of health.  Among his discoveries are the quantum theory of the creative process, the theory of quantum evolution, the theory of quantum economics, and the theory of quantum spirituality based on the exploration of wholeness.  He is the author of numerous books. Amit started the quantum activism movement, establishing a transformative education institution, Quantum Activism Vishwalayam (QAV) in India, based on quantum science and primacy of consciousness. Amit is a spiritual practitioner and calls himself a quantum activist in search of Wholeness. Valentina R. Onisor, MD is a family medicine physician who integrates alternative medicine systems into her practice.  Committed to consciousness awakening-related sciences and a pioneer of quantum integrative medicine, Valentina has made correlations between the ancient sciences and quantum physics, using both as a support for teachings. As a leader in transformational education, Valentina serves as a teacher, co-founder and Dean of Students at Quantum Activism Vishwalayam.  She is also a lecturer at Quantum Academy in Brazil. Finally, Valentina is a coauthor (along with Dr. Amit Goswami) of another recently released book, Quantum Spirituality.  (on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/9353479339/) Please be sure to subscribe to the Quantum Revolution podcast on your favorite platform or on our website at quantumrevolutionpodcast.com so you don’t miss any of the amazing shows we have in store for you.  Next episode up we will be talking to Flora Bowley about combining creative expression and intuitive wisdom.

Innocent and Imprisoned, Does the Criminal Justice System Really Work with Professor Justin Brooks

Todays’ Quantum Revolution podcast is a little different than some of our previous episodes.  We usually focus on the relationship between science and spirituality. This season we have expanded our carefully curated group of guests to include other kinds of Quantum Revolutionaries.  From innovative social activists like Frank Schaeffer, to experts leading the charge on criminal justice reform, like today’s guest, Justin Brooks. In this episode we’re going to look at the judicial system and explore the question, what happens when you’re imprisoned for a crime you didn’t commit - and is the penal system actually fulfilling its purpose of rehabilitation and equitable punishment? When confronting outdated and discriminatory systems, it requires creativity to find the solutions that work within the confines of a dysfunctional system and eventually discovering the solutions to transforming the system into something more equitable and sustainable.  Today’s guest, Justin Brooks, is the embodiment of this kind of disruptive and compassionate creativity. We can’t transform the criminal justice system if we’re not taking a realistic look at what is actually happening.  If the goal of the criminal justice system is to rehabilitate people, we’re failing.  What would a just judiciary system look like?  How could we better rehabilitate people who commit crimes so that they can be reintroduced back into society as healed individuals?  How do we tackle racism in the current system?  These are the questions we must be asking as a society. We might not have the answer to these questions yet, but it’s time we start imagining new possibilities.  And then taking the incremental steps as they appear in front of us. One step you can take today is to visit californiainnocenceproject.org and make a donation.  Your contribution is used to help innocent people get off death row.  Justin Brooks is the Director and Co-Founder of the California Innocence Project. He has practiced as a criminal defense attorney in Washington D.C., Michigan, and Illinois. Over the course of his career he has served as counsel on several high-profile criminal cases, including the Brian Banks case which was the subject of an award winning movie, Brian Banks, in 2018. Since 1999, Professor Brooks has also worked extensively in Latin America. He is the Founder and Director of California Western’s Latin American Institute for Law and Justice, an organization devoted to training law students and lawyers in Latin America and improving justice systems. He is also the Founder and Director of Red Inocente, an organization devoted to starting and supporting innocence organizations throughout Latin America. He has been recognized several times by the Los Angeles Daily Journal as one of the Top 100 Lawyers in California. In 2010 and 2012, California Lawyer Magazine recognized him with the “Lawyer of the Year” award.   Justin has dedicated most of his professional - and personal - life to overturning wrongful convictions.  His passion has spurred him to create Innocence Projects all over the world and to train young lawyers to work to help free innocent people and transform the judicial system.
