In this, his latest book, he explains the paradigm shift in thinking about emotions and the inner heart values from which the transformational power of Emotional Logic emerges. Called Emotional Chaos Theory, he connects here the inner human heart with the implicate order of a quantum gravity universe, overcoming the separation of mind and matter in exercising the power of choice. In his latest book, Clearing a Way: Unveiling the Mental Tricks That Hide Reality, Dr Griffiths takes a deep look at how our brains trick us into seeing the surface of things so that we lose sight of the deep relatedness on which our survival as groups will increasingly depend.

BRENT MICHAEL PHILLIPS was a web and video game developing pioneer at the dawn of the commercial internet era. An MIT graduate, he left his PhD studies at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science to cash in on the infinite possibilities that the worldwide web offered. Success came fast! But 20 years later, he is now an internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher and healer. He achieved this after suffering a catastrophic physical and emotional collapse resulting from working 100+ hour weeks. Traditional medicine and most non-traditional treatments didn’t heal him. What turned the tables was discovering the power of unlocking the disruptive programming in his subconscious. Being the scientist that he is, Brent committed himself to studying, understanding and exploring the connection between human behavior, spirit and science. What he learned and discovered about theta brain waves–enabled him to access extraordinary supernatural powers of healing, intuitive abilities, knowledge beyond learning, spiritual connection, oneness and more. And the science explains why this worked so astonishingly well! He now uses his engineering knowledge to present a faster path to healing and higher consciousness than attainable through other methods., Brent’s mission is simple: to share the world’s most powerful consciousness technology to help people everywhere to improve their lives and end suffering. www.awakeningdynamics.com

PAUL KIMMEL, M,D.: THE BODY'S KEEPERS, ALL ABOUT THE KIDNEYS: EP. 204
Renowned nephrologist DR. PAUL KIMMEL takes us on an eye-opening journey through the history of kidney disease, dialysis, and transplantation. Drawing on both his extensive research and decades of experience in the field, he explains the development of treatments, technologies, and medical practices that have advanced the care of patients with kidney disease. He illuminates the impact of medical advances on the lives of those suffering from this debilitating disease and offers a clear understanding of the challenges that remain. The kidney is an extraordinary organ – in many ways the regulator, the metronome, the keeper of the human body’s delicate equilibrium. On a given day, minute by minute, it purifies the body of toxins it encounters from diet, climate, activity, and injury. It allows us to be and to move in the world. And yet most of us know so very little about these extraordinary vessels nestled in our bodies – and indeed millions of us only really learn about them when they stop working. Nearly a million Americans every year have end stage kidney disease, about 37 million have some form of chronic kidney disease. And it is an incredibly common universe of challenge and ailment that, until relatively recently, would simply kill those afflicted with it. In his new book, “The Body’s Keepers: A Social History Of Kidney Failure And Its Treatments,” Dr. Kimmel also reveals the inequities and injustices at the heart of America's healthcare system. Filled with case studies, personal histories, and first-hand accounts, the book reveals the shocking truth about the exploitation of vulnerable populations in the pursuit of profit. Kimmel examines how disparities in access to care have led to life-threatening consequences for many Americans. He also looks at the ways in which the medical industry has profited from the suffering of others, and how the path to health equity is still far from being realized. With unflinching honesty and a passionate commitment to social justice, his book is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the complexities of modern healthcare.

The new film, shot in 24 countries, explores the phenomenon of the global birthrate decline through the lens of multiple societies worldwide to better understand why this is happening in the first place and how it will drastically affect the social and economic structures in the future. “What we’re seeing is our societies are not preparing us for what lies ahead,” Shaw states.“We’re heading towards a future with too few taxpayers and too many retirees to support, communities that will decay with too few people left to live there, escalating taxes and intense challenges to maintain levels of pensions, healthcare, and welfare.”

CHRIS MILES: FINANCIAL HEALTH & FREEDOM: EP.189
CHRIS MILES, The Anti-Financial Adxisor, talks about why mainstream financial advice is largely flawed and how to create a passive income stream to financial freedom. We discuss beliefs about money and creating a mindset of abundance and personal fulfilllment. Many of us have been told from an early age that financial success is like a piggy bank - you simply save more and spend less. After years of working as a traditional financial advisor and stock coach, Chris came to the realization that this myth, along with many others, was holding people back from quickly and safely becoming financially prosperous and free. As the wheels of our modern world turn on digital media and technology, it is easier, andmore vital than ever, to create passive income streams and alternate investing strategies that work for you - even when you are out saving lives. Chris practices what he preaches and has used his own knowledge twice to become financially independent. He even managed to capitalize on over $1 Million in debt after the last recession without filing for bankruptcy.
