COMMUNICATING THE WISDOM THAT'S CHANGING THE WORLD
| |||||||||||||||
| Exciting News from New Dimensions Broadcasting Media and Stanford University We are so excited to let you know that New Dimensions has been working with the Curator and Chief Archivist of Special Collections from Stanford University, who is overseeing the storage and digitizing of our entire 35 years of programming. The crew came to Ukiah and packed up 409 boxes of our analog-reel-to-reel and cassette tapes. We cried a little as we watched our "children" go off to graduate school in a special refrigerated trailer truck. We will now proceed with finding the funding, in collaboration with Stanford, to digitize the entire archive. Stanford will make the archives available for researchers and scholars. This will assure that New Dimensions will be preserved for decades to come in the most state-of-the-art archiving facility in the world. Of course, we will have the use of all of the recordings for the general public. This is a longtime dream come true for New Dimensions. Here is the official New Release:

A listener checks back in after sixteen years
I've long been a listener and supporter of New Dimensions Radio. I wrote you a letter about 16 years ago describing how listening to an NDR membership reward tape rescued me from doldrums of worry about the world my unborn grandson would face and gave me hope that perhaps there would be a shift in consciousness and he'd be part of it. Now my grandson's a strapping 6'3" 15 year old. Adam has a huge heart and a compassionate soul and despite the fact that the world looks darker than ever, I still hold onto the hope that we can make that crucial shift. I read with amusement your July newsletter comment about your messy office and unearthing things that went astray. Trying to straighten mine this weekend I came across a note to myself to renew my NDR membership in August. I'll be calling in my renewal on Monday. Since I tune into NDR Radio almost every day, I'll be increasing my pledge as much as I can right now and if I'm able to send more during the year, I will. I consider it an investment in Adam's future and that of his lovely little sister Anna.

The health care system in America is in tatters. More than 47 million adult Americans are without health care coverage--25 million children do not have health care and this is the richest nation in the world. Dr. Kerns says, "If I was in control I'd like to see universal, single payer system for America which would essentially be Medicare for everybody. Not only would we have everybody covered, but we'd have everybody covered by the most just and efficient mechanism, and it's being paid for by the government." In this informative dialogue he describes in simple terms the roots of the problem, and provides an abundance of ways to move towards solution. David Kerns, M.D. is Adjunct Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford University of Medicine; the former Chief Medical Officer of Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, and the author of Standard of Care (Sentient Publications 2007), described as "a novel of conscience and consciousness."

As a young man Hale Dwoskin discovered a man with a remarkable history. Given two weeks to live by his doctors, Lester Levenson intuited a way to let go of all limitations. He lived forty more years. Levenson’s techniques became known as The Sedona Method® and Dwoskin realized the dissemination of these methods was his life’s work. The Sedona Method® is a simple and effective process that shows us how to tap our natural ability to let go of that which prevents us from being fully present in our lives. Often our feelings and emotions cause great pain and frustration. Dwoskin says, “The only reason want to understand or figure out any particular problem is simply because we are planning to have it again. When you let go of wanting to understand it, wanting to figure it out, what happens is the intuitive knowingness that’s always at your core can shine through more and more. That’s where your answers come from. They come from inside of you.” Hale Dwoskin is the CEO and Director of Sedona Training Associates®. For twenty-five years he has taught the Sedona Method to individuals and organizations. He is the co-author of Happiness is Free and It’s Easier Than You Think (Sedona Press, 2002), and The Sedona Method: Your Key to Lasting Happiness, Success, Peace and Emotional Well Being (Sedona Press 2007).

Culture no longer protects against growing threats of global terror and societal greed, while Nature becomes increasingly endangered through pollution, holes in the ozone, and the effects of global warming. In this insightful dialogue, storyteller and mythologist Michael Meade, shows that when things seem darkest, it is "mythic sense" that is missing and mythic imagination is needed. He tells us, "Now is the time to find one's own unique, personal connection to things beyond time and beyond the simplicity of place. The best connection to have when all connections are breaking down is a connection to eternity which is the individual right of each person." Michael Meade is a renowned storyteller, drummer, scholar of mythology and student of ritual in traditional cultures. He has the unusual ability to synthesize this material into a persuasive presentation, tapping ancestral sources of wisdom and connecting them to the stories we are living today. He has led retreats for me for more than two decades and brings a wealth of strength, humor, compassion and fearlessness to this work. He is the author of The Water of Life (GreenFire Press 2006), co-editor of The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart (Harper Perennial 1993), and the CD set, The Ends of Time, the Roots of Eternity: Tales of Myth, Nature, and Culture (Mosiac 2007).

From the Buddhist perspective understanding our mind is key to understanding life and death. Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche explains the nature of mind and how to use this understanding to rid ourselves of needless suffering and fear. His is a very practical and useful approach to concepts that often become bogged down in esoteric practice and tradition. He says, “The original state of our mind and consciousness is totally free and full of compassion. It's like someone sitting on a heap of garbage piled on top of some land under which there is a tremendous treasure." He points out that we live in a paradox; we want to live long but we don't want to grow old. His gentle teaching guides us to the insights that lead us to a full appreciation of the importance of remembering to live well in each moment. In this way we live well and can release the fear of death and growing old. Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche is acknowledged as one of the foremost scholars of his generation in the Nyingma and Kagyu schools of Tibetan Buddhism. He is a prolific teacher and author. His teachings have been widely published in popular Buddhist journals. He is the author of Wild Awakening (Shambhala 2003), Penetrating Wisdom (Snow Lion 2006) and Mind Beyond Death (Snow Lion 2007).

Suffering is part of life. Many of us have learned that meditation and awareness can help release us from the pain of suffering. Richard Moss has created a map of the ways we lose our awareness and let suffering take hold of our lives. In so doing, he has developed a way to help us find the way back to our center, and the ability to be in the present, so that pain is transformed and we rediscover our compassion—for ourselves, for others, and for the world. True awareness, he says, “transforms our perception of who we are and what we’re dealing with, and in that we find that what we’re dealing with is no longer suffering. It is something else. It is the very way that we come into a deeper humanity, a more complete humanity, and the natural expression of that humanity is compassionate, empathetic, accepting, forgiving, and trusting.” Dr. Moss offers techniques that help will help you retrace your mind’s steps back to a gentle relationship with pain, suffering, anger, and self-judgment, so that you can move through your days with greater peace and joy. Richard Moss, M.D., left the practice of medicine at the age of thirty to alleviate suffering by finding greater spiritual understanding. He is internationally known and respected as a visionary thinker, teacher, and author whose work bridges science, psychology, energy medicine, and spiritual-awareness practices. His books include The Black Butterfly: An Invitation to Radical Aliveness (Celestial Arts 1986), The Second Miracle: Intimacy, Spirituality, and Conscious Relationships (Celestial Arts 1995), and The Mandala of Being: Discovering the Power of Awareness (New World Library 2007).
