Stephan outlines the daunting challenges of dealing with climate change as the window to prevent the point of no return closes, and he provides a picture of the almost-apocalyptic looming changes to the planet due to ocean rise which will result in billions of climate refugees competing for survival and basic resources like land, food and water.

Our guest on Wiki Politiki this week, Stephan A. Schwartz – who has spent a lifetime delving into physical and metaphysical reality – offers a deep perspective on the challenges we face individually, collectively and indeed as a species as we address the key questions for transformation: What’s so? So what? Now what?

Join us for an eye-opening, mind-expanding, heartful conversation that takes us beyond the “deep state” to a deeper state of awareness, and offers a simple and practical pathway for changing the future through our actions now. Along the way we will discuss the surprising secret behind Gandhi’s campaign for Indian independence, a first-hand view of Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech, and adventures in the world of remote viewing. (No, that’s not how psychics find their remote when it is buried in the couch pillows.)

Seriously and humorously, this conversation will guide us beyond “baked-in” beliefs toward the “life-affirming integrity” that will help us evolve from children of God to adults of good – and get us through our awkward “addled-essence” phase.

In the first half, researcher in non-local consciousness and futurist Stephan Schwartz spoke about his research into social transformation and how individuals and small groups can change the course of history. He developed eight laws of change that all promote well-being, some taken from the philosophy of the Quakers. These include:

• The individuals and the group must share a common intention.
• Though they have goals, the group shouldn’t have cherished outcomes.

• The individuals and the group must accept that their goal may not be reached in their lifetime, and be OK with this.
• The group members must accept that they may not get credit for their efforts.
• Each person in the group must enjoy fundamental equality, even while allowing for hierarchical roles.
• The individuals must make their private selves consistent with their public postures.

Schwartz discovered that change achieved through violent means tends to have a shorter lifespan than transformations arrived at by consensus or peaceful solutions (like Gandhi). Benjamin Franklin was one of the earliest Americans to practice these type of laws, he said, such as through his creation of micro-lending, and private philanthropy. “When you support well-being,” Schwartz remarked, “you get a social policy which is more efficient, more effective, easier to implement, more productive…and much much cheaper.” Currently, we are in a civilization-threatening crisis, he continued, and if we don’t focus on empowering integrity and connecting with something greater than ourselves, future generations could be in serious trouble.

Ep. 65 Stephan A. Schwartz: Non-Local Consciousness/The 8 Laws of Change

In this podcast, we discuss his book “The 8 Laws of Change,” winner of the Nautilus Book Award for Social Transformation, which looks at how notable individuals like Gandhi, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and Benjamin Franklin found ways to enact lasting change.  Schwartz also draws from his own experience with the Civil Rights Movement, the U.S. Navy, and work at Esalen Institute.  We also discuss how the diverse fields of medicine, neuroscience, biology and quantum physics describe how these laws of change can be adopted by any individual.

We discuss:

Climate Change; White Supremacy/Nationalism; Wealth Inequality; and Stephan’s new novels on consciousness: Awakening: A Novel of Aliens and Consciousness, Greenwood Press, 2017; and The Vision: A Novel of Time and Consciousness, Greenwood Press, 2018.
