Our conversation was highly conceptual, but also unbelievably dense with insights. As a result, we decided to split the conversation up into two parts. Part 1 will discuss the diagnosis of the problem. Part 2 will explicitly discuss tools and strategies to avoid the major pitfalls.

Dr. Mona Sobhani is an author, cognitive neuroscientist and an expert in the emerging science of “spiritual” phenomena.

A core theme of this series is the importance of updating your stale perceptions of the world. Over the last two years, nobody has helped challenge my own preconceptions more than Dr. Mona Sobhani, and her book Proof of Spiritual Phenomena.

Dan Larence is an exceptionally experienced consultant psychotherapist and depth psychological researcher. His expertise is in Jungian analysis, syncronicity and dream analysis.

Dan isn’t just the most qualified mental health professional I’ve ever met, he’s also facinating because he started life as a currency trader. He now applies those pattern-recognition skills to the analysis of dreams. He recorded a spectacular lecture specifically for this series “The Wisdom of Dreams: A Jungian Oriental Approach.”

Dr. Ervin Laszlo is a philosopher and systems scientist. He’s the author, co-author or editor of 106 different books and he’s written over 400 articles and research papers. Among many other awards he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 and 2005.

Now 92 and stil as passionate as ever, Dr. Laszlo describes how mainstream science is dangerously flawed. Our primary topic of discussion is attractors; which has the potential to be the Copernican moment for Western culture. Laszlo has pioneered the scientific acceptance of the “holotropic attractor.”1 In his latest (free) book Our Sacred Mission he describes this as “a force that orients interactions in the universe towards the formation of complex and coherent systems.”

In our short 25 minute conversation Dr. Laszlo described why it’s of urgent societal importance and massive personal benefit for us to align with this force.

Psychotherapist, author, mythologist and close associate of the legendary Joseph Campbell, Dr. Stephen Larsen shared his understanding of the secrets revealed by human myth.
