There's Nothing "Magical" about Societal Healing
I know that affirmations, gratefulness, and forgiveness can bring swift benefits, and that sometimes it seems as if we achieve dramatic and miraculous support for our best intentions. But social healing is slow.

Robert Thurman, PhD
Robert Thurman is Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies in the Department of Religion at Columbia University, President of Tibet House US, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Tibetan civilization, and President of the American Institute of Buddhist Studies. The New York Times recently hailed him as "the leading American expert on Tibetan Buddhism."
The first American to have been ordained a Tibetan Buddhist monk and a personal friend of the Dalai Lama for over 40 years, Professor Thurman is a passionate advocate and spokesperson for the truth regarding the current Tibet-China situation and the human rights violations suffered by the Tibetan people under Chinese rule. His commitment to finding a peaceful, win-win solution for Tibet and China inspired him to write his latest book, Why the Dalai Lama Matters: His Act of Truth as the Solution for China, Tibet and the World, published in June of 2008.
Professor Thurman also translates important Tibetan and Sanskrit philosophical writings and lectures and writes on Buddhism, particularly Tibetan Buddhism; on Asian history, particularly the history of the monastic institution in the Asian civilization; and on critical philosophy, with a focus on the dialogue between the material and inner sciences of the world's religious traditions.
Professor Thurman's scholarly and popular writings focus on the "inner revolution" that individuals and societies successfully negotiate when they achieve enlightenment. He defines this inner revolution as accurate insight into the true nature of reality and determined compassion for the suffering beings. He also works toward what he terms a "Second Renaissance," which he sees currently taking place as Western culture goes beyond the 14th century European discovery of the natural sciences of the ancient Greeks that catalyzed the "first renaissance" to discover and apply in practice the advanced "inner science" of ancient Indian culture.
Popularizing the Buddha's teachings is just one of Thurman's creative talents. He is a riveting speaker and an author of many books on Tibet, Buddhism, art, politics and culture, including Circling the Sacred Mountain, Essential Tibetan Buddhism, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Wisdom and Compassion: The Sacred Art of Tibet, Infinite Life: Seven Virtues for Living Well, Inner Revolution, The Jewel Tree of Tibet and, most recently, Why the Dalai Lama Matters.
He is credited with being at the forefront of making Tibetan art accessible and understandable in the West and, with distinguished art historians, he has collaborated in curating several important traveling exhibitions, including "Wisdom and Compassion," "Mandala," and "Worlds of Transformation," which set a standard in the art world.
Thurman's work and insights are grounded in more than 35 years of serious academic scholarship. He has a B.A., A.M. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard and has studied in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in India and the United States. A long-time advocate of Buddhist monasticism, Thurman was ordained in 1962. He gave up his robes after several years, however, when he discovered he could be most effective in the American equivalent of the monastery, the university. He is a popular professor at Columbia, where he holds the Jey Tsong Khapa chair in Indo-Tibetan Studies.
Thurman's knowledge of Tibetan history and culture is often sought by policy makers. He has testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Additionally, a plan he authored, which appeared in the Wall Street Journal in 1998 as an op-ed piece entitled "Freeing Tibet Is in China's Interest", is regarded by many as a practical plausible blueprint for peacefully ending the human rights violations and cultural destruction in Tibet and was the foundation for Why the Dalai Lama Matters -
Morty Lefkoe
Twenty-three years ago Morty Lefkoe made a series of discoveries that allowed him to help people make permanent changes in their emotions and behavior.
Morty discovered that beliefs were the core cause behind many problems such as procrastination, shyness, fear of public speaking, depression, eating disorders and a host of other problems.
He then created a process that has helped over 13,000 people in telephone sessions in 32 countries quickly, easily, and permanently eliminate the specific beliefs responsible for their behavioral and emotional problems.
Unlike most psychotherapies that focuses on helping our small “self” get better, and most enlightenment practices that focus on discovering we are really a non-dual “Self,” TLM combines the two and after beliefs are eradicated, people are led naturally into an altered state of consciousness in which they have the profound experience that anything is possible and that they have no limitations.
Morty called the process to eliminate beliefs and the other processes he created The Lefkoe Method and he went on to start The Lefkoe Institute.
The mission of LI is to significantly improve the quality of life on the planet by having people recreate their lives and live as the unlimited possibilities they are.
The Lefkoe Method is so consistent in its ability to help people change that researchers at the University of Arizona studied its impact on people with a fear of public speaking.
After analyzing the results of the study Dr. Lee Sechrest, Professor Emeritus at the University of Arizona wrote: “Overall The Lefkoe Method is an effective, quick, and convenient procedure to eliminate the fear of speaking in public.” Details about the study can be found in the July, 2006 issue of the peer-reviewed journal, Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy.
In January, 2007, after over two years of preparations, LI offered a series of DVDs that guaranteed viewers that they would totally eliminate or at least significantly reduce their fear of public speaking. Information about this product can be found at www.undoityourself.com.
Morty has written a book about the Lefkoe Belief Process (LBP), Re-create Your Life: Transforming Yourself and Your World
, which explains how the LBP works, how it is different from psychotherapy, its spiritual implications, and how its principles can be applied to parenting, health, business, and social change. The LBP is the major process used to quickly and permanently eliminate beliefs.
Morty and his associates also have worked with over 10,000 employees at over fifty companies, including such firms as GM, Tenneco, Carter Hawley Hale, TRW, Lands' End, and almost half of the Bell telephone companies. Their work leads to vastly enhanced innovation and it facilitates needed change. He has conducted over 250 seminars for groups of Chief Executive Officers on "Limiting Beliefs: How to Identify and Eliminate Them."
He has written over 100 articles and columns for such publications as Fortune, Wall Street Journal, Advanced Management Journal, and the New York Times. He has appeared on over 100 radio and TV shows, including Today, ABC World News Today, and Fox Cable News. His work has been written about extensively in the New York Times and a number of other publications.
A member of the American Counseling Association, Morty has written articles describing the Lefkoe Method in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy The California Therapist (Sept-Oct 2001, Vol. 13, Issue 5), The Group Therapist Perspective (Oct-Nov. 2001), and the California Psychologist (December, 2001).
Morty is proud to be a founding member of the Transformational Leadership Council.

East Meets West on Evolution’s Border
The official theme of the third annual Science and Nonduality conference was “On the Edge of Time,” but the unofficial narrative was about time running out on the flat-earth paradigms of our day: the world works like a machine, consciousness follows matter, our lives are essentially meaningless, we are in this thing alone.

Dawkins, Darwin, and Other Dogma: How the Tenets of Biology Are Crumbling
For the first time in modern human history, the cycle of knowledge is returning to what we knew in our distant past: we are connected to something deeper. We are not machines. Intelligent information flows through us and communicates with our environment, and this means that human survival is much more likely when we cooperate.
