Living Deeply
A Prescription For Living Deeply
Stacey Lawson -Huffington Post
"Transformation doesn't require going to the mountain top," shares Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, Ph.D., author of Living Deeply and researcher at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. "Something as mundane as road rage, for instance, is the seed for a moment of compassion."
Schlitz and her colleagues have spent the last 10 years investigating human consciousness and the nature of transformative experience. What is transformation? What are the common triggers? What barriers keep us from having transformative experiences more often? And how can we set the stage for these experiences as well as sustain their impact?

have you read punk science Indi? I just learned of this book from a commenter at BS.
I think that this transformative experience has been reeking havoc on my ability to get a good night's sleep. Any relationship that you know of regarding insomnia/inability to get restful sleep and consciousness/awakening? I don't like to take pills and to be honest with you, I think the sleep deprivation has somehow - possibly(?) - brought about this consciousness and "awakening" that I have been going through these past few years. I now refer to my "mid-life crisis" as my mid-life awakening. I've said that to others recently and have seen them pause a moment to really think about it.
RE: New World Order.......
I'm 100% for it -- only if we remove the money/profit angle. This seems to be what comes to mind whenever we hear the term. It gets most people (US citizens primarily) in quite a nasty way -- myself included. If we could approach the "New World Order" in terms of a "New World Consciousness" imagine what the world could be!
the rich white man has got to go away.......
Punk Science seems right on the money, thanks for that.
Manic consequences are common to an awakening experience. Some seek help, some have help forced upon them, many self medicate. It's serious business.
We clearly are in a turning age, but there are distinctly different takes on it. New World Order types sort of spit feathers when they speak to it, like they are guilty of something and aren't disclosing everything they have in mind.
Very different from the folks who view it as a naturally transformative, self-correction mechanism (Hopi, etc.).
Bigotry in all forms must go.
