A Better World with Mitchell J. Rabin

Wednesday, March 23, 6pm EST. This evening Mitchell speaks tonight about what can happen upon our shifting our consciousness and story-telling about what’s possible at this delicate point in human history which could potentially sustain our species and many others, generating a culture and lifestyle not just of sustenance but of thriving. 

Mitchell will speak of the massive actions taking place on the ground with vision who are taking the future into their own hands and building land-based communities and businesses that are cooperative in nature while in some cases becoming quite profitable at the same time.  He will speak of business models that support eco-friendly, people-friendly relationships while, believe it or not, generating moderate yet “pleasurable profit”.  At the same time, he’ll talk about cultivating a healthy relationship with money based on love and a balanced relationship with the material, 3-D world. 

The good news is that change is possible, adaptation occurs in our species daily and neuro-plasticity abounds thus creating potential for the moving a few inches to the left of the iceberg, which itself happens to be melting.  The good news is also that Dr. Jill Stein is running again for the Green Party’s candidate for President and if heard, can change the national conversation.  Will they let her in? 

Tune in for a hard-hitting but uplifting program, speaking to some of the essential issues facing our planet’s inhabitants.

Philosopher, author and presenter, Richard A. Bowell has been asking himself these kinds of questions for a long time.  His colleague and friend, Michael Shewchuk, at the U.N., has been asking himself similarly.

Richard’s book, The Last Unpolluted Place on Earth…Is Inside Ourselves, addresses these questions and is finding favor at such places as the United Nations.

Today’s Round Table discussion will be addressing these issues which face us all:  What is our future?  What does our evolution look like?  Will it be rapid enough to avert the 6th Extinction?  These are the kinds of questions Richard, Michael and Mitchell will be discussing as well as the power of simply being present, perhaps the key to the whole game.

Please join us for this seminal conversation between Richard, Mitchell and Michael which will educate, uplift and inspire.  For more, go to:www.humanevolutionarychange.org and www.abetterworld.tv

***Please note that due to a last-minute change, Edgar Mitchell was not able to make the Round Table.

Wednesday, June 24, 6pm EDT: This week’s radio show is a Round Table about the Institute for Noetic Sciences (IONS) and the upcoming Conference in Chicago, July 22-26.  Joining Mitchell in the Round Table are IONS Founder, astronaut Edgar Mitchell, IONS current President Cassandra Vieten and the internationally-renowned visionary evolutionist Barbara Marx Hubbard.

IONS is an outstanding organization with a global reach, educating people about the relationship between science and spirituality, a favorite subject here at A Better World.  Through Conferences, publications and more, IONS is helping to upgrade our understanding of phenomena which have been passed on by conventional science, such as parapsychology, yet the implications of this kind of human potential opens up vistas paralleled, well, as Edgar Mitchell suggested when he was in space, by the beauty and mystery of Earth from the point of view of the Moon.  IONS work in this sphere is helping humanity come to a new understanding about itself and “who” we really are.

The annual Conference, in Oak Brook, just outside Chicago, is a venue for this kind of dialogue and many similar ones, so certainly worth looking into and attending.  Go to: www.noetic.org.  Marianne Williamson, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Edgar Mitchell, Dean Radin, Cassie Vieten are among a stellar group of speakers at the Conference.  I will be there as well representing the NY chapter of IONS, known as FIONS.  Please join us for this special Conference.  Edgar Mitchell was a guest on A Better World TV back in in 1996 and Barbara in 2010, as well as numerous times over the years on A Better World Radio.

Mitchell’s guest this evening is celebrated drum virtuoso Pat Gesualdo, who is known for pioneering the groundbreaking techniques of Drum Therapy® and for his celebrated non-profit organization D.A.D. (Drums and Disabilities). NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Administration and the New Jersey Dept. of Education Commissioner helped Gesualdo launch D.A.D. in 2004, as a special education program in New York City and New Jersey school systems.

Psychologists, neuroscientists, teachers, law enforcement agencies, child protective agencies, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and behavioral therapists in over 15 countries, use Gesualdo’s revolutionary Drum Therapy techniques in schools, mental health facilities, hospitals, and therapy centers. This effort helps disabled children and adults develop physical & cognitive functioning.

Pat was invited to the White House in an effort to bring his pioneering Drum Therapy techniques to help wounded troops throughout the United States. In 2012, under President Obama, the U.S. Department of State brought Gesualdo to the West Bank region of Israel, to help disabled Israeli and Palestinian children with his groundbreaking techniques of drum therapy.

Pat has been the lead story on NBC, CBS, and ABC TV News& other major media outlets on a Global basis. He had a 4 page feature interview in Modern Drummer Magazine, and featured in major media outlets such as WABC TV, MSNBC, ABC Television News, CNN, USA Today, NBC Television News, the LA Times, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, Fox Morning Show and more.
