Send us a textWhat if the key to healing chronic illness lies not just in medicine, but in your mind? Ravinder Taylor's journey from debilitating rheumatoid arthritis to complete recovery challenges everything we think we know about healing and recovery.After being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis shortly after her second son's birth, Ravinder found herself unable to perform basic tasks of motherhood—changing nappies, collapsing a pushchair, caring for her infant. The diagnosis threatened her independence and identity. While conventional medications helped, they weren't enough.Drawing on her decades of research into how the mind works, Ravinder developed a revolutionary three-part approach to healing. First, she explored the radical concept of self-responsibility, asking "What if I'm doing this to myself?" Through deep introspection, she uncovered subconscious conflicts potentially triggering her physical symptoms. Second, she systematically reprogrammed her mind using subliminal affirmations developed by her husband Eldon Taylor, playing them nightly for 15 months. Finally, she incorporated a targeted supplement that, combined with her mental work, allowed her to gradually stop medications completely.Twenty-five years later, Ravinder remains symptom-free—living proof of the mind's extraordinary healing capabilities. During our conversation, she shares profound insights about how our subconscious programming influences everything from health to relationships, and why true mindfulness isn't just about awareness but questioning our own thoughts and assumptions.This episode explores how the stories we tell ourselves reflect our deepest beliefs, why negative experiences outweigh positive ones, and most importantly, how we can take control of our mental programming to transform any aspect of our lives. As Ravinder so powerfully states, "Life doesn't happen to you—at any point, you can choose to do it differently."Discover these transformative principles in Ravinder's book "Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment," available at all major bookstores.Ravinder Taylorhttps://ravindertaylor.comMind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment by Ravinder Taylor and Eldon TaylorMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/sky-toes/featherlightLicense code: ZTXJPK8BA5WMLKSF My new novel The Red Magus has recently been published in conjunction with the Unbound Press.

In the first half, author Eldon Taylor, an expert in subliminal communication and hypnosis, discussed the vast potential of human consciousness, including psychic abilities and manifesting tangible outcomes. There is no limit to human potential, he remarked, as he shared fascinating stories of savants, including one individual who, after a traumatic brain injury, became a mathematical genius. He emphasized the importance of recognizing and training our mental abilities, suggesting that when "we work out at the gym, we train our body, but we don't train our mind." Regarding psychic experiences, he asserted that "more people have it and will admit to having it," but many suppress or dismiss these abilities due to fear or societal stigma. He added, "If you have that natural ability, I believe that we should all develop those gifts that are given."Taylor explained the importance of self-assessment in personal growth, stating, "You need to have a serious self-assessment... listen to how you talk to yourself." He encouraged listeners to confront their inner dialogues, which often undermine their ambitions. He recalled a powerful exercise he conducts with audiences, asking them to silently affirm their goals, only to observe their negative reactions in how they talk to themselves. Taylor also warned against the dangers of consuming polarized media, explaining how it can manipulate emotions and rewire thought patterns. He called for a collective pause to reflect and recharge, advocating for gratitude and self-care in the face of overwhelming societal challenges.----------In the latter half, mind-body practitioner and author Bill Douglas spoke about the latest developments in the science of consciousness and meditation. Citing Dr. Herbert Benson's research, he reported that mind-body practices (such as meditation, Tai Chi, Qigong, yoga, and mindfulness) "can prevent or treat between 60 and 90% of the health issues that send us to the doctor." Pointing out the scientific basis of these techniques, he explained that when we engage in these meditative practices, we experience the alpha brainwave state, our awareness expands, and our immune system gets profoundly boosted. Further, there are compelling results from studies showing that communities with high levels of meditation practitioners were able to reduce the local crime rate.Highlighting the transformative power of meditation and mindfulness, he noted that when we go into these states of coherence, it brings us into the present and in connection with everything. He recalled that over 50% of participants in a meditation study reported extraordinary consciousness experiences, ranging from spiritual events to synchronicities. Douglas also discussed Dr. Dean Radin's research on human consciousness, and Dr. Masaru Emoto's studies on water crystals, which demonstrated that thought could affect the shape of water crystals. Douglas encouraged listeners to embrace mindfulness techniques, such as guided visualization and breath control, to enhance their mental well-being. "Anytime our exhales are longer than our inhales, it slows down the heart, and then that slows down the brain," he explained, indicating that these practices create a fertile ground for healing.

Mind Training: Ravinder Taylor We know that exercising regularly will bring numerous benefits, from improved health and wellness to enhanced creativity, but most do not know that training the mind will bring a host of benefits too. Mind Training presents a way of life that promotes a process of conscious living. Having an awareness of the ‘whys' behind some of our behaviors will reduce many of the self-destructive patterns that all of us are subject to in certain areas of our lives. Understanding some of our brain chemistry mechanisms allows us to take some manual control to increase our successes and overall feelings of well-being. Discovering some of the automatic mind mechanisms makes it possible to offset the ability for others to exploit them. For the past 30 years, Ravinder has been researching and analyzing self-help modalities. She has utilized her learning in thousands of interactions with individuals seeking guidance for breaking through blocks to success in their lives. Many have praised her insights and reported great success when following her recommendations. In addition to working alongside Eldon Taylor on each of his books. Ravinder is the co-author of over 200 personal motivation audio programs and two books, Motivational Nudges to Empower Your Life and Peripheral Perception via Subliminal Stimuli. Ravinder has a Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology (University College of Wales, Aberystwyth) and is an ordained interdenominational minister. She also completed a 3-year training course in hypnosis and psychotherapy at the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy in the U.K. www.mind-training.org www.ravindertaylor.com Learn more about Simran here: www.iamsimran.com www.1111mag.com/

Is it rational to be believe in a higher power? Or is God/Source/Spirit a fantasy “Santa Claus” crutch that appeases our childlike natures? These questions and more are explored in this episode with guest, Dr. Eldon Taylor. Eldon is a New York Times best-selling author publishing on a wide range of topics from exposing the darker sides of mind programming and brainwashing to the spiritual search for life's meaning. He is an expert in the area of preconscious information processing and has served as an expert trial witness with regards to both subliminal communication and hypnosis. Eldon was also a practicing criminalist for over ten years where he supervised and conducted investigations and testing to detect deception. In the first half of this podcast we explore the power and susceptibilities of the human mind. In the second half we dig into his latest book, Questioning Spirituality – Is It Irrational to Believe in God?, which explores both the atheist/scientism and believer rationales for trusting in a higher power. Among the many ideas shared in this episode are: • When we are dishonest, we are betraying ourselves • How and why subliminal messages work • How we talk to ourselves is a predictor of how we will behave • There are two ways to be tied up in the world - externally or internally through our beliefs • Free will is not free • Brainwashing goes way beyond MK Ultra etc. – it's everywhere • We have a genetic predisposition, but we can change our personalities • What the first step to changing limiting thoughts is • The mechanistic model of science regarding humanity • The ‘logical' reasons to reject spirituality • The advantages of being spiritual and why it's not irrational to believe in God • “White Crow” stories that can't be explained scientifically and attest to there being something beyond this reality – • Eldon's own white crow story • Reason is a gift to decipher the language of God Links: Website: www.eldontaylor.com/ Questioning Spirituality book: www.amazon.com/Questioning-Spiri…God/dp/1803413018 Gotcha book: www.amazon.com/Gotcha-Subordinat…ooks%2C110&sr=1-1 © the spiritual forum 2023

When you consider religion and various beliefs, how can we know anything is the truth? What is belief anyway and how can we know that something is true? Might it be irrational to believe in a God or Higher Power? Lisa continues the conversation today with NYT bestselling author Eldon Taylor, Ph.D., who examines these ideas and more. He talks about how there are good people everywhere, who cross all barriers – whether they reject organized religion and spirituality or not.   Eldon talks about how what you believe can, and does, have a huge impact on the quality of your life — from success in business to success in relationships, from your ability to learn and master new subjects to your ability to heal your own body. In his latest book, “Questioning Spirituality,” he deeply considers the idea of a God and/or Higher Power and how it seems our institutions of higher learning tend to go against this idea. An intellectual elitism exists in which students, and professors, may think that although it's comforting to consider believing in a God, it's simply not rational.  The idea for his latest book started after numerous conversations with Eldon's college-aged sons, both of whom were studying away at Ivy League schools. Although they grew up with a strong sense of faith, they returned home from university as atheists.  Students are taught critical thinking in college. This naturally leads to the questioning of religion. Is it possible to be both a critical thinker and hold belief in a Higher Power? Eldon presents both sides of the argument – and proposes that it's not at all irrational to believe.   Eldon Taylor has been researching the power of the mind for the past 25 years and is considered to be an expert in the areas of hypnosis and subliminal communication. For more than ten years, Eldon specialized in criminalistics, where he supervised and conducted investigations and testing to detect deception. Today, Eldon is President and Director of Progressive Awareness Research, Inc. He has developed and patented the InnerTalk technology, which has been demonstrated by numerous universities to be effective. Eldon is an award-winning, NYT best-selling author of more than 300 books, and audio and video programs.  Info: eldontaylor.com.  This is Part 2 of the interview.

Back in University, I met my first husband, who happened to be an atheist. As a devout Catholic, his skepticism toward Christianity caught me off guard. I was innocent and naive, and his dark crusade stories left me questioning my beliefs. Eventually, I ended up becoming an atheist too.  But years later, during my lowest moments battling fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, and depression, I contemplated suicide. However, a small voice reminded me that I had a choice. That moment became a turning point in my life, where I embraced life and made choices aligned with my true desires. Miraculously, I healed.  During this episode of Light Warrior Radio featuring Eldon Taylor and his latest book, Questioning Spirituality: Is it Irrational to Believe in God? which was born from his personal experience in a household that blended spirituality and science. Perhaps this book could have spared me from needing illness to bring me back to my true self.  During the episode, we delve into intriguing topics such as: Why do young people struggle with believing in a higher power?Are there any practical arguments in favor of spirituality?What are some of the arguments supporting atheism, and should we dismiss them?And so much more!

Eldon Taylor – Questioning SpiritualityAired Wednesday, April 26, 2023 at 5:00 PM PST / 8:00 PM ESTIn a world where material science appears to reign supreme and many have turned away from faith, is there a pragmatic case to be made for the rational viability of a spiritual belief in a higher power.My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, New York Times best-selling author Eldon Taylor, makes a compelling case that the scientific worldview is inconsistent with people's experiences of themselves and is not nearly as rationally superior as it is so often presented.

Whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. In How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to attain it. Stoicism is a pragmatic philosophy that focuses our attention on what is possible and gives us perspective on what is unimportant. By understanding Stoicism, we can learn to answer crucial questions: Should we get married or divorced? How should we handle our money in a world nearly destroyed by a financial crisis? How can we survive great personal tragedy? Whoever we are, Stoicism has something for us–and How to Be a Stoic is the essential guide.Prof. Pigliucci has a PhD in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Connecticut and a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Tennessee. He currently is the K.D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York. His research interests include the philosophy of science, the relationship between science and philosophy, the nature of pseudoscience, and the practical philosophy of Stoicism.To learn more about Massimo Pigliucci and his work, go to massimopigliucci.com and twitter.com/mpigliucciVisit our Amazon affiliate link to get your copy of How to Be a Stoic.To learn more about Provocative Enlightenment Radio, go to http://www.provocativeenlightenment.com

Berit Brogaard, PhD, and Kristian Marlow, MA, study people with astonishing talents—memory champions, human echolocators, musical virtuosos, math geniuses, and synesthetes who taste colors and hear faces. But as amazing as these abilities are, they are not mysterious. Our brains constantly process a huge amount of information below our awareness, and what these gifted individuals have in common is that through practice, injury, an innate brain disorder, or even more unusual circumstances, they have managed to gain a degree of conscious access to this potent processing power. The Superhuman Mind takes us inside the lives and brains of geniuses, savants, virtuosos, and a wide variety of ordinary people who have acquired truly extraordinary talents, one way or another. Delving into the neurological underpinnings of these abilities, the authors even reveal how we can acquire some of them ourselves—from perfect pitch and lightning fast math skills to supercharged creativity. The Superhuman Mind is a book full of the fascinating science readers look for from the likes of Oliver Sacks, combined with the exhilarating promise of Moonwalking with Einstein.Berit Brogaard is Professor and Cooper Fellow at the University of Miami. Her areas of research include perception, emotions, synesthesia, and savant syndrome. She is the author of Transient Truths (Oxford University Press, 2012), On Romantic Love (Oxford University Press, 2015), The Superhuman Mind (Penguin, 2015), Seeing & Saying (Oxford University Press, 2018), and Hate: Understanding Our Most Dangerous Emotion (Oxford University Press, 2020).

A smart, research-driven case for why optimism, kindness, and strong social networks will help us live to 100.From the day her daughter was born, science journalist Marta Zaraska fretted about what she and her family were eating. She fasted, considered adopting the keto diet, and ran a half-marathon. She bought goji berries and chia seeds and ate organic food. But then her research brought her to read countless scientific papers and to interview dozens of experts in various fields of study, including molecular biochemistry, epidemiology and neuroscience. What Marta discovered shattered her long-held beliefs about aging and longevity. A strong support network of family and friends, she learned, lowers mortality risk by about 45 percent, while exercise only lowers it by about 23 percent. Volunteering your free time lowers it by 22 percent or so, while certain health fads like turmeric haven’t been shown to help at all. These revelations led Marta Zaraska to a simple conclusion: In addition to healthy nutrition and physical activity, deepening friendships, practicing empathy and contemplating your purpose in life can improve your lifespan. Through eleven chapters that take her around the world, from catching wild mice in the woods of central England to flower arranging with octogenarians in Japan, from laboratories to “hugging centres,” Marta embarks on an absorbing, entertaining and insightful journey to determine the habits that will have the greatest impact on our longevity. Deeply researched and expertly reported, Growing Young will dramatically change the way you seek a longer, happier life.To learn more about Marta Zaraska and her work, go to growingyoungthebook.com or zaraska.comVisit our Amazon affiliate link to get your copy of Growing Young.

From a leading philosopher of the mind comes this lucid, provocative argument that offers a radically new picture of human consciousness—panpsychism.Understanding how brains produce consciousness is one of the great scientific challenges of our age. Some philosophers argue that consciousness is something “extra,” beyond the physical workings of the brain. Others think that if we persist in our standard scientific methods, our questions about consciousness will eventually be answered. And some even suggest that the mystery is so deep, it will never be solved. Decades have been spent trying to explain consciousness from within our current scientific paradigm, but little progress has been made.Now, Philip Goff offers an exciting alternative that could pave the way forward. Rooted in an analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of modern science and based on the early twentieth-century work of Arthur Eddington and Bertrand Russell, Goff makes the case for panpsychism, a theory which posits that consciousness is not confined to biological entities but is a fundamental feature of all physical matter—from subatomic particles to the human brain. In Galileo’s Error, he has provided the first step on a new path to the final theory of human consciousness.Philip Goff is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Durham University. His research focuses on how to integrate consciousness into our scientific worldview. He has authored an academic book with Oxford University Press, called ‘Consciousness and Fundamental Reality’ and a book aimed at a general audience called ‘Galileo’s Error: Foundations for a New Science of Consciousness’. Dr Goff has published over 40 academic articles as well as writing extensively for newspapers and magazines, including Scientific American, The Guardian, and the Times Literary Supplement. Goff’s interview by Pulitzer Prize winning author Gareth Cook was one of the most viewed of the most viewed articles in Scientific American of 2020.To learn more about Prof. Philip Goff and his work, go to philipgoffphilosophy.comTo get your copy of Galileo’s Error, please visit our Amazon affiliate link.

Why was the mission to the Moon named after the God of the Sun, and not after a Moon Goddess or God? In this unconventional work, Philippe Sibaud explores the symbolism behind the 1969 landing on the Moon. More than fifty years after this seminal event, and whilst the Moon is attracting renewed interest, the author offers a bold new interpretation of the iconic Apollo mission. Was the Apollo landing the ultimate triumph of solar consciousness over the ancient lunar ways, a concrete enactment of the god Apollo mythically slaying the mother dragon at Delphi, or can the whole venture be seen as the sacred union of Sun and Moon, birthing a new vision at a time of great need? By weaving his own personal story with a greater cultural and symbolic narrative, Philippe Sibaud invites us to reflect on the importance of myths and the power of the Imagination to unlock the deeper meaning of our individual and collective experiences. You will never look at the Moon with the same eyes again.Philippe is a Trustee and a writer for the Gaia Foundation, an international London-based NGO which has been working for 35 years with indigenous people to uphold Earth-centred perspectives. He co-runs Umunthu Microfinance, an NGO that he set up in 2010 to provide small-scale loans to disadvantaged women in Malawi (currently 1,000 clients). He holds an MA in Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred (with Distinction) from Canterbury Christ Church University and has been a dedicated student of astrology for many a solar return.

Did a tiny bird in Texas really communicate with a horse and convince him it was okay to load on a trailer he’d never been on? Did a horse, after a three-year absence, know that its previous owner was present by hearing a harmonica being played? Did a horse, who had never acted up, hurt its owner on purpose so she would go to the doctor, where she discovered cancer had returned? Richard D. Rowland seeks the answer to fascinating questions as he explores the connection between humans and animals. As someone who was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer and given three years to live (more than twelve years ago), the human-animal bond is a subject he knows well. Animals caused him to rethink life and showed him things he never thought possible-and they led him to write his previous book, Unspoken Messages: Spiritual Lessons I learned from Horses and Other Earthbound Souls. Based on his interviews with people throughout the world, this book expands on how animals are misunderstood-and how they’re much smarter than most people believe.To learn more about Richard Rowland and his work, go to www.richarddrowlandbooks.comTo get your copy of A Glimpse Behind the Veil, please visit our Amazon affiliate link.To learn more about Provocative Enlightenment Radio, go to http://www.provocativeenlightenment.com

The gap between the state of fusion energy research and public understanding is vast. In an entertaining and engaging narrative, this popular science book gives readers the basic tools to understand how fusion works, its potential, and contemporary research problems. Written by two young researchers in the field, The Future of Fusion Energy explains how physical laws and the Earth’s energy resources motivate the current fusion program — a program that is approaching a critical point. The world’s largest science project and biggest ever fusion reactor, ITER, is nearing completion. Its success could trigger a worldwide race to build a power plant, but failure could delay fusion by decades. To these ends, this book details how ITER’s results could be used to design an economically competitive power plant as well as some of the many alternative fusion concepts. Jason Parisi is a theoretical physicist studying turbulence in fusion plasmas at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, a fusion laboratory in the UK. He obtained his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2020, and his undergraduate degree from Yale University in 2016. As well as fusion energy, Jason also has interests in general relativity and cosmology. In his spare time, he enjoys triathlon and gliding.Justin Ball is an American scientist studying theoretical plasma physics and nuclear fusion energy. He works at the Swiss Plasma Center, a fusion laboratory in Switzerland, where he researches turbulence in tokamak plasmas. Justin holds a Master’s degree in Nuclear Engineering from MIT and a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Oxford. He has a broad interest in all things nuclear, having previously worked at a nuclear power plant, a nuclear navy research laboratory, and a nuclear weapons laboratory.To learn more about Jason Parisi, PhD go to jfparisi.github.io To learn more about Justin Ball, PhD go to justin-ball.com Please visit our Amazon Affiliate link to get your copy of The Future of Fusion EnergyTo learn more about Provocative Enlightenment Radio, go to http://www.provocativeenlightenment.com

We are bombarded every day by reports of bad behavior, from sexual harassment to political corruption and bullying belligerence. It’s tempting to blame evil acts on evil people, but that leaves the rest us off the hook. Silence, after all, can perpetuate cruelty. Why We Act draws on the latest developments in psychology and neuroscience to tackle an urgent question: Why do so many of us fail to intervene when we’re needed―and what would it take to make us step up?A renowned psychologist who has done pioneering research on social norms, Catherine Sanderson was inspired to write this book when a freshman in her son’s dorm died twenty hours after a bad fall while drinking. There were many points along the way when a decision to seek help could have saved his life. Why did no one act sooner?Cutting-edge neuroscience offers part of the answer, showing how deviating from the group activates the same receptors in the brain that are triggered by pain. But Sanderson also points to many ways in which our faulty assumptions about what other people are thinking can paralyze us. And she shares surprisingly effective and simple strategies for resisting the pressure to conform. Moral courage, it turns out, is not innate. Small details and the right training can make a big difference. Inspiring and potentially life transforming, Why We Act reveals that while the urge to do nothing is deeply ingrained, even the most hesitant would-be bystander can learn to be a moral rebel.To learn more about Catherine A.

You care about the greater good, but you want to define it for yourself. What if you disagree with the politically correct view? You fear ridicule, shunning and attack, so you tell yourself it’s not worth it and find a way to conform. Until one day you can’t.I was politically correct until the day I heard myself lie about a simple fact because the truth didn’t sound progressive. I froze– in the middle of a lecture to 150 students. Enough! I decided to take back my brain. I gave myself permission to see what I see and know what I know instead of living in fear. It cost me, but the benefits outweighed the costs.

What does President George Washington have in common with the Buddha, Sakyamuni? Author and teacher, Robert Sachs, brings together the lessons and teachings of these two great men; one an exemplary political figure, the other, the founder of one of the world’s great wisdom traditions. The result is a guidebook to study, carry with you, and apply to cultivate healthy, intelligent, and communication and action inspired by and rooted in civility.Robert Sachs received his B.A. in comparative religion and sociology at the University of Lancaster and then moved to London, where he studied Macrobiotics with Michio Kushi and Rex Lassalle at the Kushi Institute and hatha yoga under the guidance of Jonathan O’Dell and Johanna Auld whilst also being trained as a mental health counselor with the Richmond Fellowship. Of particular interest to Robert since the late seventies has been the practical preventive health care aspects of Tibetan medicine, which he studied under the guidance of Dr. Lobsang Rapgay. Robert also focused on the healing meditations of Tibetan Buddhism, including those practices that prepare one for the time of death under Ven. Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, Lama Ole Nydahl, and other Buddhist masters. Currently, Robert continues to study under the guidance of Tibetan Buddhist master, Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche.To learn more about Robert Sachs and his work, visit ThePathofCivility.com and DiamondWayAyurveda.comPlease visit our Amazon affiliate link to get your copy of The Path of Civility.To learn more about Provocative Enlightenment Radio, go to http://www.provocativeenlightenment.com

Plenty of research has been done on why companies go terribly wrong, but what makes companies go spectacularly right? That’s the question that Kim Cameron asked over a decade ago. Since then, Cameron and his colleagues have uncovered the principles and practices that set extraordinarily effective organizations apart from the merely successful. In his previous book, Positive Leadership, Cameron identified four strategies that enable these organizations, and the individuals within them, to flourish: creating a positive climate, positive relationships, positive communication, and positive meaning. Here he lays out specific tactics for implementing them. These are not feel-good nostrums—study after study (some cited in this book) have proven positive leadership delivers breakthrough bottom-line results. Thanks to Cameron’s concise how-to guide, now any organization can be “positively deviant,” achieving outcomes that far surpass the norm.To learn more about Kim Cameron and his work, visit michiganross.umich.edu/faculty-research/faculty/kim-cameron or the Center for Positive Organizations Website: www.centerforpos.comPlease visit our Amazon affiliate links to get your copy of Practicing Positive Leadership and Making the Impossible Possible.To learn more about Provocative Enlightenment Radio, go to http://www.provocativeenlightenment.com

How much is a human life worth? Individuals, families, companies, and governments routinely place a price on human life. The calculations that underlie these price tags are often buried in technical language, yet they influence our economy, laws, behaviors, policies, health, and safety. These price tags are often unfair, infused as they are with gender, racial, national, and cultural biases that often result in valuing the lives of the young more than the old, the rich more than the poor, whites more than blacks, Americans more than foreigners, and relatives more than strangers. This is critical since undervalued lives are left less-protected and more exposed to risk.Howard Steven Friedman explains in simple terms how economists and data scientists at corporations, regulatory agencies, and insurance companies develop and use these price tags and points a spotlight at their logical flaws and limitations. He then forcefully argues against the rampant unfairness in the system. Readers will be enlightened, shocked, and, ultimately, empowered to confront the price tags we assign to human lives and understand why such calculations matter.Howard Steven Friedman is a data scientist, health economist, writer and artist. He teaches at Columbia University. Friedman received his Bachelor’s degree from Binghamton University in Applied Physics. He earned a Masters in Statistics and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University. Friedman took a position as a director at Capital One where he led teams of data scientists, statisticians, analysts and programmers in various areas of operations and marketing. He later formed companies that provided consulting services in areas of designing, developing and modeling data.To learn more about Howard Steven Friedman and his work, go to www.howard-friedman.comTo get your copy of Ultimate Price, please visit our Amazon affiliate link.To learn more about Provocative Enlightenment Radio, go to http://www.provocativeenlightenment.com

It is an axiom of American life that advantage should be earned through ability and effort. Even as the country divides itself at every turn, the meritocratic ideal – that social and economic rewards should follow achievement rather than breeding – reigns supreme. Both Democrats and Republicans insistently repeat meritocratic notions. Meritocracy cuts to the heart of who we are. It sustains the American dream.But what if, both up and down the social ladder, meritocracy is a sham? Today, meritocracy has become exactly what it was conceived to resist: a mechanism for the concentration and dynastic transmission of wealth and privilege across generations. Upward mobility has become a fantasy, and the embattled middle classes are now more likely to sink into the working poor than to rise into the professional elite. At the same time, meritocracy now ensnares even those who manage to claw their way to the top, requiring rich adults to work with crushing intensity, exploiting their expensive educations in order to extract a return. All this is not the result of deviations or retreats from meritocracy but rather stems directly from meritocracy’s successes.This is the radical argument that Daniel Markovits prosecutes with rare force. Markovits is well placed to expose the sham of meritocracy. Having spent his life at elite universities, he knows from the inside the corrosive system we are trapped within. Markovits also knows that, if we understand that meritocratic inequality produces near-universal harm, we can cure it. When The Meritocracy Trap reveals the inner workings of the meritocratic machine, it also illuminates the first steps outward, towards a new world that might once again afford dignity and prosperity to the American people.

To go beyond is to move into a higher state of consciousness, to a place of bliss, greater understanding, love, and deep connectedness, a realm where we finally find life’s meaning.Scientist and spiritual explorer Rupert Sheldrake looks at seven spiritual practices that are personally transformative and have scientifically measurable effects. He combines the latest scientific research with his extensive knowledge of mystical traditions to show how we may tune into more-than-human realms of consciousness through psychedelics such as ayahuasca, and how everyday activities can have mystical dimensions, including sports and learning from animals. He discusses traditional religious practices such as fasting, prayer, and the celebration of festivals and holy days.Why do these practices work? Are their effects solely inside our brains and essentially illusory? Or can we really make contact with forms of consciousness greater than our own?Dr. Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and the author of more than ninety technical papers and fourteen books, including Science Set Free. After studying at Cambridge and Harvard Universities, he worked in Hyderabad, India, as principal plant physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, and lived for two years in the Benedictine ashram of Father Bede Griffiths. From 2005 to 2010, he was director of the Perrott-Warrick Project for the study of unexplained human and animal abilities, funded by Trinity College, Cambridge.He is currently a Fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma, California, and of Schumacher College in Dartington, Devon, UK.

How much sex are people really having? How many Americans are actually racist? Is America experiencing a hidden back-alley abortion crisis? Can you game the stock market? Does violent entertainment increase the rate of violent crime? Do parents treat sons differently from daughters? How many people actually read the books they buy? In this groundbreaking work, Stephens-Davidowitz, a Harvard-trained economist and former Google data scientist, argues that much of what we thought about people has been dead wrong. The reason? People lie. Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is a New York Times op-ed contributor and former Google data scientist. He received a BA in philosophy from Stanford, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa, and a PhD in economics from Harvard. His research—which uses new, big data sources to uncover hidden behaviors and attitudes—has appeared in prestigious publications such as The Journal of Public Economics.

Have you ever looked back over your life and thought to yourself, “I've been had?” Well, don't feel alone, many of us have experienced deliberate gotcha's perpetrated by those who want to manipulate, abuse or control us. But there's a bigger story—a more global story to this whole thing of manipulation, and Eldon Taylor is here today to tell us about it, and how we may avoid falling prey to it. His latest book, “Gotcha!” tells us all about the silent battle that has been raging for more than a century for the territory of our minds. The book explores the 24/7 bombardment of information designed to win the hearts and minds of the public, and exposes the arrival of the Orwellian age in full-blown technicolor. In revealing the game, he helps us know what we need to do to avoid allowing others to puppet our thoughts and to maintain original thinking. This is going to be a mind-blower today. Don't miss it.

We continue our discusson with August Goforth, author of The Risen: Dialogues of Love, Grief & Survival Beyond Death.  August is a licensed psychotherapist in private practice in New York City, is also an intuitive-mental and psychophysical spirit medium. Timothy Gray was a writer, editor, and photographer in New York City until he made his transition to his present Risen existence in the early 1990s. With two spirit teams known to them as "The Risen Collective & The Risen Assembly" they assisted in writing and manifesting a book, called: "The Risen: Dialogues of Love, Grief, & Survival Beyond Death—21st Century Reports from the Afterlife Through Contemplative, Intuitive, & Physical Mediumship." August does not utilize his mediumistic abilities for therapy sessions, nor does he work as a professional medium to give readings for others. This is a professional bias as well as a personal choice, and may serve as an example for other therapists who might be misguided to inappropriately use mediumistic abilities in their work. However, he believes there will be an eventual spiritual evolution of humanity, as enriched by Risen contact, whereby the various human therapies will all successfully and appropriately be able to utilize mediumistic abilities for healing purposes. August is currently working on a new book with The Risen about grief and bereavement. He has also been a guest on Coast 2 Coast, Forever Family Foundation, Hay House Radio with Eldon Taylor, Late Night With Pete Price, Curious Times and many others.

These can be trying times and it can be easy to get so caught up in the day-to-day that we forget about working on those aspects of change that are truly important to us. Most of us believe it is the amount of our resolve - the pure determination - that dictates whether or not we will accomplish our goals. It is all a matter of will power and if our will power is strong enough, then we will succeed. The truth of the matter is, we unknowingly sabotage our own attempts to keep our goals because very few of us know the tools and techniques necessary to succeed!
