JOSEPH CHILTON PEARCE  The Magical Child's Transcendent Mind Joseph Chilton Pearce held the attention of the packed audience for two hours of his visit to Waldorf School, San Francisco. His enthusiasm for his material was conveyed more as a transmission then as a lecture. The information that streamed from him during his dance between blackboard and overhead projector was up-to-the minute, angst in time, citing many of the contributors to the Mind@Large Catalog of Sound Photosynthesis: Karl Pribram, Jean Houston, Rupert Sheldrake, Brian Swimme, Jean Liedloff, Robert Monroe, Michael Murphy, to name a few. Pearce's latest book The Biological Transcendence: A Blueprint of the Human Spirit was minimally mentioned but largely drawn from his first book, The Crack in the Cosmic Egg , is celebrating another printing after remaining in print consistently for the last 30 years. TRT: 120 minutes.

Drugs and the Law A distinguished law professor points out that many problems associated with drug use actually result from the prohibition of drugs. These include deaths, by violence and by overdose, theft, health risks, huge law enforcement expenditures. He notes that legalized drugs could still be highly regulated.

David Weber, a Waldorf educator, provides the sounds of speech accompanying the dance.

From Eco-Cities to Living Machines : Principles of Ecological Design From Eco-cities to Living Machines presents the ecologically-based working designs and prototypes of biologist John Todd and writer and environmental activist Nancy Todd. Since 1969 with the founding of New Alchemy Institute on Cape Cod, the Todds have become known world-wide for their leadership in the restoration of pure water, bioremediation of wild aquatic environments, food production, and urban settings and introduce culture and flowing pure water into green urban settings and introduce Living Machines, a family of technologies for purifying wastewaters to tertiary quality effluent without chemicals. Provocative and grounded firmly in the principles of biodiversity, the Todds’ work encompasses site-specific technological interventions and systems-wide ecological thinking. It has already influenced a new generation of ecological planners and designers, environmental economists, and systems-based engineers working to change the way we utilize production, technology, water, and energy.

Insights from an Expatriot Coming HomeFace to Face with Faustin Thomas Laird lived in Asia for the last 30 years and he is prepared to tell and write about his extraordinary experiences.

Dali Lama, “The History of Tibet.” You may or may not agree with every carefully chosen word that this photographer/journalist offers, but you will be interested, perhaps inspired, to learn more and have an effective opinion. See the video, get his book and listen to the other CDs we are going to put out of this man’s work. TRT 59 min.
Interconnectedness and Social Policy Until recent times, says Stephan Schwartz, human beings felt more connected and less alienated from their communities.

Studies of the effectiveness of prayer in healing, he says, suggest that human consciousness interacts directly in the world. He is a founde of the Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness. He is author of The Secret Vaults of Time. TAP
THOMAS LAIRD: Into Tibet: A Book Report.Face to Face with Faustin An hour interview with a man who leaves no dead air. Thomas Laird lived in Asia for the last 30 years and he is prepared to tell and write about his extraordinary experiences. His first major book has hit the US in a time of many questions and anxiety with few answers or solutions. At least we get insights from Laird and we too become more prepared to evaluate our future moves. Thomas Laird uses his well compiled history of the first CIA operative’s work and subsequent regretful demise to bring together elements of the drive, excitement, intrigue, cultural difference and totally “other perspective” that effected the world between the years 1945-1949. The political climate of today and the suffering of many peoples have understandable roots in the findings of photographer/journalist Laird. See the video, get the book and listen to the other CDs we are going to put out of this man’s work. TRT 59 min.

“Not in My Name”, Face to Face with Faustin Bray SOS: Alert! Face to Face Interview between Faustin Bray and Vivienne Verdon-Roe presents an urgent plea for the public to respond immediately to the crisis of the 3/4 covering ocean of the planet Earth. Academy Award-winning producer/director. Vivienne Verdon-Roe, urges listeners to join in a grassroots campaign against the U.S. Navy’s proposed deployment of Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System Low Frequency Active sonar (or “SURTASS LFA”). This new sonar system to detect quiet enemy submarines would blast one of the loudest man-made sounds throughout 80% of the world’s oceans. In violation of federal environmental law, this technology has the potential to deafen and even kill whales, dolphins and other marine mammals.Vivienne Verdon-Roe also descusses the military’s broader war-making capacity outlined in the Department of Defense’s “Joint Vision 20/20”. The report calls for “full-spectrum dominance” as the key to fighting and winning wars in the future through access to and freedom to operate in all domains--space, sea, land, air and information. Do you know what the U.S. Department of Defense is doing in our name? TRT: 45:37

Saving the World TAP Daniel Quinn proposes that the modern environmental crisis has its origins in the agricultural revolution that began about ten thousand years ago. At that time, humans developed a vision of themselves as the pinnacle of creation—a species for whom the entire earth was intended. Salvation depends upon our reclaiming our ability to live in harmony with the natural world. Daniel Quinn is the prize-winning author of the controversial best-seller, “Ishmael,“ “The Story of B“, and “Providence“ A two part hourlong video tape.
