About Me

I'm a metaphysical guy who has wrestled for a long time to come up with a creative way to live from my heart and transform the world to one of creativity, cooperation, freedom, respect and stewardship. I just launched a web page www.global-shift-for-peace.com to be a resource for change. My unique qualities are that I am broad, versatile and visionary. What I would like to lead is a dialogue between the metaphysical crowd and the independent media people. Its tricky because many metaphysical people recommend not following current events because what you focus on you get more of. At the same time where would we be without people like Martin Luther King Jr. who confronted the darkness of our time. I see independent media journalists as passionate about getting out the truth, and it truly moves me. One great example were the reporters, including Amy Goodman who were arrested at the Republican Convention for nothing other covering what was going on. To me people like Amy are Heros. But we need more context for absorbing their information and using it for meaningful action. A lot of every day people would be so shocked by the truths of the dark politicas going on that it would overwhelm them. So the challenge is to find an empowering way to educate and engage more people so they not only know about the darkness, but they can be empowered to use that awareness of dark works to inspire pro-active creation for a means to take action that brings light. We need the great empowerment community of leaders, peope like Jack Canfield, to step step into a different realm and confront injustice and we need those confronting injustice to have more of an oasis to pull aside from the darkness long enough to rejuvinate their optimism. We always have to hold a focus on the Dream as MLK did, his "I have a Dream" speech beautifully confronts the darkness and then draws forth the Dream.

How I would like to change the world:

I too want people to know they are not alone and we can make a difference. I want to do this through writing, speaking publicly and networking. I want to empower people individually and collectively including integrating powerful experiential workshop processes that I will lead to draw together activists with entrepreneurs and help them teach each other how to empower change.

Tools I Have

My biggest tool is my site: www.global-shift-for-peace. Don't let the lack of graphics and initial primitive setup scare you away. This is very broadbased and meningful.
