The Beginning of the New Year: Unifying our Minds and Building our New World, Together with Karen Curry Parker

This week, as we prepared to finish production on our interview with Dr. Amit Goswami and Dr. Valentina Onisor, we discovered that our online recording platform failed to save a portion of our inspiring conversation. I thought I’d pivot with grace in response to this frustrating twist in the plot outline.  Certainly, if I’ve learned anything these past few years, it’s that change always brings with it an opportunity for something different - often something better.  Resistance only leads to exhaustion.  Being in the flow - and grateful even when it seems difficult in the beginning - creates room for true innovation.  So, in honor of this collective experience of transformation, I thought this week we’d do something a little different. I have decided to present a special release of the latest episode from our companion microcast, Cosmic Revolution. As we begin the New Year, we are sharing with you our vision of the future and how we can unify our minds and build our new world, together. We have to work with what IS working.  And let the rest unfold. So far this season we’ve heard from many leading-edge scientists and creators such as Dr. Ervin Lazslo, who talked about cycles of disruption being cataclysmic and vital for big leaps in evolution.  We’ve explored the idea that the Universe is inherently biased toward evolution, unity, and coherence. We’ve talked about how vital it is to reframe the narrative of our future, how moving past old traumas and finding healthy perspectives can actually help us heal and increase our capacity to tap into higher states of well-being that can last a lifetime. We’ve looked at the need for rest and respite as essential elements of sustaining our creative edge.  We’ve learned about why curiosity and wonder are essential elements in uncovering the elegant solutions to the challenges facing humanity today. Cycles of disruption have – well – disruption as an inherent element.  These past few years have given us an entire curriculum on navigating the skillset of pivoting and discovering resiliency in the face of the unexpected. This week I leave you with an auditory dream.  A journey for you to embark on with your imagination - a vision of what you could create on this planet, in the world, at this time. I hope you’ll join me in co-creating this vision.  I hope you enjoy this creative dream as much as I do. Thank you for joining us on the Quantum Revolution Podcast.  Please be sure to subscribe to this podcast on your favorite platform so you don’t miss any of the amazing shows we have in store for you.  Make sure to join us next week when we’ll be talking to Justin Brooks about his impact on our legal system.

Curiosity, Science, and the Possibility of Aliens with Dr. Avi Loeb, Ph.D.

Is there life out there? This is the question astronomers and astrophysicists have been exploring for decades.  In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed an object soaring through our inner solar system, moving so quickly that it could only have come from another star. Dr. Avi Loeb, Harvard’s top astronomer, showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and left no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization. In today’s conversation we’re exploring the question, is there life out there? with Dr. Loeb, who is the Frank B. Baird, Jr., Professor of Science at Harvard University, chair of Harvard’s Department of Astronomy, founding director of Harvard’s Black Hole Initiative, and director of the Institute for Theory and Computation (ITC) within the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. In Dr. Loeb’s new book, Extraterrestrial, the First Signs of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth, we learn about Oumuamua, the first known interstellar object detected passing through the Solar System. But this book isn’t really about Oumuamua.  It’s a story about why curiosity is essential to science and how curiosity gets squelched when the scientific process is influenced by the pressure for research dollars.  Join us as Dr. Loeb explores, with curiosity, what is out there?  Dr. Avi Loeb is the Frank B. Baird, Jr., Professor of Science at Harvard University. He received a PhD in Physics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel at age 24 (1980-1986), led the first international project supported by the Strategic Defense Initiative (1983-1988), and was subsequently a long-term member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (1988-1993). Loeb has written 8 books including, most recently, Extraterrestrial (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2021), and about 800 papers (with an h-index of 112) on a wide range of topics, including black holes, the first stars, the search for extraterrestrial life and the future of the Universe. He had been the longest serving Chair of Harvard's Department of Astronomy (2011-2020), Founding Director of Harvard's Black Hole Initiative (2016-present) and Director of the Institute for Theory and Computation (2007-present) within the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics  Click here (https://lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/~loeb/Opinion.html) for Dr. Loeb's commentaries.   Click here to find Dr. Loeb’s new book on Amazon: Extraterrestrial, the First Signs of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth (https://www.amazon.com/Extraterrestrial-First-Intelligent-Beyond-Earth-ebook/dp/B081TTY4NX) Thank you for joining us on the Quantum Revolution Podcast.  Please be sure to subscribe to this podcast on your favorite platform so you don’t miss any of the amazing shows we have in store for you.  Join us next time for our conversation with Dr. Amit Goswami and Dr. Valentina Onisor.

The Relationship Between Childhood Trauma and Cancer with Dr. Eric Kuelker, Ph.D.

There are an estimated 18.1 million new cancer cases globally, and cancer remains the second-leading cause of death in the United States, where more than 1.7 million people are diagnosed with cancer every year. What is cancer? According to current medical practices, cancer begins when cells acquire the ability to grow uncontrollably and ultimately invade and damage the body’s normal tissues. Cancer development happens in multiple stages, from precancerous changes to malignant tumors.  Cancer can develop in a variety of different ways, due to a variety of different factors. Some we inherit, and others we are exposed to throughout our lives. It can be categorized into hundreds of different diseases based on the cells in which it arises. The current medical model basically asserts that some force - a toxin in the environment, genetic predisposition or random mutation - cause the body’s cells to go haywire. Yet, only 5-10% of cancer is caused by genetics.  Scientists argue that the number of cancer deaths due to pollutants and toxins is not as high as we might expect and lifestyle and diet also do not account for the remaining 90% of cancer. Join us as Dr. Kuelker unpacks the science of how wounds to the mind hurt the body, and how we can achieve deep healing for both. If there is a correlation between childhood psychological injury and physical illness, we can easily do the math to determine the short term and long term cost of not taking good care of children.  Taking good care of children and supporting parents in being able to provide a strong foundation for their family is simply a good financial decision.  Dr. Eric Kuelker is a psychologist who has done over 30,000 hours of therapy. He has been featured on TV, in books, in magazines, and in newspapers, and has taught at universities, hospitals, corporations, and more. He has coached therapists and is past president of a company that created the largest Internet resource for therapists to use with clients. He is the only psychologist in Canada to publish data on client outcomes in his practice.  He has worked in hospital, prison, school, outpatient clinic, probation office, court, and university settings. He is happily married and has three children.  For more information on the Psychology Injury Index visit - https://psychologicalinjuryindex.com/ http://www.drkuelker.com/ To watch Dr. Kuelker’s TEDx talk “Healing the Deadliest Injuries of All – click here  (http://www.drkuelker.com/tedx-talk/ ) Thank you for joining us for the Quantum Revolution.  Please be sure to subscribe to this podcast on your favorite platform so you don’t miss any of the amazing shows we have in store for you.  Join us next time for our conversation with Harvard astronomer, Dr. Avi Loeb.

Education: Going to School or Learning to Learn? with Dr. Naomi Fisher, Ph.D.

We are taught that an education is a vital component of success.  We define education as going to school.  Whether through public schooling or the more expensive version of the same concept, private schooling, children are shepherded through a system that makes learning a 12 year long process of mastering how to follow the rules and perform for rewards. On today’s Quantum Revolution episode, we’re talking to Naomi Fisher, a clinical psychologist, about her book, Changing Our Minds: How Children Can Take Control of Their Own Learning (https://www.amazon.com/Changing-Our-Minds-children-learning/dp/1472145518/)  According to Fisher, children today have easy access to an enormous amount of information, from all around the world. The news is not hidden from them and much of the news is not reassuring. In addition, most of them spend their days in an environment which makes very specific competitive requirements of them, and over which they have almost no power. When they refuse to cooperate with this, they are said to be suffering from school refusal, or perhaps school phobia. This is often thought of as an irrational anxiety, a bit like being scared of spiders. But is it irrational to refuse to go to school? Instead of assuming that distressed children must be disordered, let’s think about whether school is an environment in which all children can thrive. About 33% of children in the school system manage to do well.  Some even thrive.  But what about the other 66%?  Even more frightening, approximately 30% of children in the United States have been diagnosed - and some are even medicated for - having learning problems.  Have we really bought into the idea that only 33% of us are smart and capable of success? Could 30% of children be incapable of learning or be somehow educationally “broken” and often in need of medication to make them compliant? Dr. Fisher in her book, Changing Our Minds brings together research, theory and practice on learning. It includes interviews with influential thinkers in the field of self-directed education and examples from families alongside practical advice. This essential guide will give you an understanding of why self-directed education makes sense, how it works, and what to do to put it into action yourself.  You may find the book on Amazon – click here or find it at your favorite book seller. Dr Naomi Fisher is a clinical psychologist and EMDR consultant specializing in responses to trauma. She works with adults and children, including those with diagnoses of special educational needs. She has a PhD in Autism. She has hands-on experience raising two children as self-directed learners. Her writing has featured in The Psychologist, Tipping Points, The Green Parent, SEN Magazine, Juno and more. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Dr. Fisher on how we can change the education system to help children to learn and grow in whatever way works best for them.

Science Takes Time: Shifting Paradigms Within Systems with Dr. Peta Stapleton, Ph.D.

The frustrating part of science is that it takes time.  It takes time to validate an experimental process, duplicate the process enough times to verify that the results are relatively predictable, and to calculate and demonstrate the statistical probabilities. When it comes to doing research about health and wellness, it’s hard to wait out the time for scientific validation for compassionate reasons.  The Hippocratic oath starts with the promise to “first do no harm." But the science behind healthcare can sometimes create a dilemma.  In today’s Quantum Revolution episode, we’re going to be talking with Dr. Peta Stapleton who has been building a body of scientific evidence behind the Emotional Freedom Techniques, EFT.  Some of you may know it as “tapping."  While the practice of EFT tapping has not been around as long as acupuncture, one of the main components of EFT is the gentle tapping on those same energy lines, or meridians, used in acupuncture and acupressure. When combined with some current psychotherapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure Therapy, tapping yields amazing results. EFT was developed by Gary Craig in the 1990s based on his study of work done by Roger Callahan in Thought Field Therapy (TFT). TFT was one of the first methods in what is now called Energy Psychology. As Craig realized the potential of this approach, he worked to refine and simplify the techniques while maintaining positive, measurable results: an evidence-based methodology. He ultimately developed a simple yet very profound set of techniques which he made available to everyone on his website emofree.com. Dr. Peta Stapleton is a registered clinical and health Psychologist and Associate Professor at Bond University (Australia) who embraces evidence-based and innovative techniques.  Dr. Stapleton is a world-leading researcher in Emotional Freedom Techniques (‘Tapping’) and led a world first study investigating brain changes after EFT.  She was awarded the Harvey Baker Research Award for meticulous research (Association of Comprehensive Energy Psychology), and was named 2019 Psychologist of the Year (Australian Allied Health Awards). Dr. Staplteon has also authored The Science Behind Tapping: A Proven Stress Management Technique for the Mind and Body (Hay House), which won Best Self-Help Book (2019 Best Book Awards, American Book Fest).

The Implicit Bias in the Cosmos with Dr. Ervin László, Ph.D.

We are living in a paradox.  We are the manifestation of consciousness - pieces of the cosmos - encased within bodies, ruled by a mind that creates the illusion that we are separate from the cosmos - individual events that will never be repeated again in the history of all that is.  It’s easy for us to think we are a dominion unto ourselves.  And yet, this paradox invites us to explore that if we are  holographic pieces of the cosmos, then the rules of the cosmos must apply to the unique and personal manifestation of the story that is our unique life - a theme we’re exploring with many Quantum Revolutionaries this season. Today we are speaking with Dr. Ervin Laszlo, a philosopher and systems scientist who has published more than 101 books and over 400 articles and research papers. The subject of the one-hour PBS special, Life of a Modern-Day Genius, Dr. Laszlo is also the founder and president of the international think tank The Club of Budapest and of the prestigious Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research. The recipient of various honors and awards, including Honorary PhDs from the United States, Canada, Finland, and Hungary, Dr. Laszlo always received the Goi Award, the Japan Peace Prize, in 2001, the Assisi Mandir of Peace Prize in 2006, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 and 2005. Get Dr. Laszlo's book now at https://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Principles-Handbook-Timeless-Truths/dp/1250797217 or at your favorite bookseller.  Visit Dr. Laszlo's website at https://thelaszloinstitute.com/ or at  https://ervinlaszlobooks.com/ We can’t wait to see you next time for some more powerful insights into our ever-changing world with Karen Curry Parker and her guest, Dr. Peta Stapleton.

Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy with Frank Schaeffer

Even before everything was disrupted by COVID-19 and divisive political tensions, millions of Americans were already questioning capitalism’s “values.” We were already challenging the idea that your job defines you. We already knew something was wrong. Come join us with Karen and Frank as they discuss what has led us to where we are today... and how we can continue to grow and thrive into the future. In Frank's new book, Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy, Frank offers a passionate political, social, and lifestyle “blueprint” for changes millions of us know are needed to rebalance our work lives with thriving relationships.  Frank’s new book builds a well-researched and entertaining bridge to living happier lives and to a better future. It shows us that based on a better understanding of our evolutionary selves, we can thrive in family life and in our work life, too. But to do both joyfully—and at the same time—depends on rediscovering the priority of relationships, connections, community, and love. Get Frank's book now at https://www.amazon.com/Fall-Love-Children-Planet-Happy/dp/0757324118   or at your favorite bookseller.
