Accelerating Developmental Pathways to Global Harmony

Scientists, psychologists and philosophers alike agree that the key to global harmony is a dramatic shift of mind, from seeing the “other” as a threatening enemy to recognizing the universal oneness of all living beings.

LEADERSHIP MATURITY: the Transformation Factor in Politics

LEADERSHIP MATURITY: The Transformation Factor in Politics By John T. Kesler1 Leadership Maturity may be the most overlooked factor in the global political arena.

Addictive Personality: An Archetype for Life in Capitalist Modernity

A few years ago, I was psychologically diagnosed with an addictive personality.

New Leadership Blueprint Taps into Individual Creative Inner Genius

Fueled by the power of collectivism balanced upon a substratum of unabashed individualism, the new leadership paradigm has the power to transform the world in less than a decade what took centuries to accomplish under the old paradigm. If you and Ayn Rand don’t think both can co-exist, much less share the same skyway, you might want to ditch your rearview mirror for a glimpse into the future.……

Opening to a Politics of Transformation

It is no understatement to say that the world is in crisis; the rise of demagogues, endless wars, the constant fear of terrorism, massive and deepening poverty and continued and increasing environmental destruction.
