At what point is “New Thought” not “new” anymore? Most of us relate to consciousness material as a “Paradigm Shift”—but in this episode Freeman has a conversation with two thought leaders who are relating to the world from the perspective of a “New Normal”—which at some point won't be “new” anymore. Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. was raised by wisdom teachers (his famous father Don Miguel Ruiz and his shaman grandmother)—he grew up with ideas that are becoming normal. He models this material and talks about it from a profoundly familiar perspective. John Raatz has founded GATE (Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment), which is an organization committed to creative perception and expanding the role media play in the evolution of human consciousness.

For many people, this reflects a shift in values and world-views, underlined by a deep fundamental questioning about the direction we are headed as human beings. “GATE was formed to support people in the entertainment and media industries who are, themselves, asking these deeper questions and wanting to contribute to the solutions that will become the new structure, the new paradigm, of a sustainable world. GATE sees the role and responsibility that entertainment, media, and the arts play in creating and illuminating this global transformation, and in supporting how each of us can contribute to a successful outcome for everyone and the planet.”
