It is characterized by deficits in social communication and interaction and restricted and/or repetitive behavior patterns, interests, and activities. Autism is considered a "spectrum" disorder because it encompasses a wide range of symptoms, skills, and levels of functioning, including Asperger's, Auditory processing disorder, Rett syndrome, etc. The exact causes of autism are not fully understood, but many question genetic and environmental factors at play.  What are some of the main characteristics of autism?1. Social difficulties: Individuals with autism may experience trouble understanding social cues or body language, leading to difficulty forming meaningful relationships. Children may display little interest in playing with others or engage in limited imaginative play (doll playing, pretend playing).2. Repetitive behaviors and interests: People with autism may engage in repetitive movements with their arms or hands and focus intensely on specific topics or activities. They may become distressed when routines are disrupted.3. Overstimulation: Individuals with autism may find multiple stimuli too overwhelming and gravitate towards either minimal stimulation or certain appealing stimulations best suited for their needs. 4. Intellectual variation: People with autism can have varying intellectual abilities, from severe mental disabilities to those who excel in specific disciplines, such as accounting or history (savants). Savant syndrome. It is a syndrome popularized by movies, TV shows and social media. The Good Doctor is a good example of it. Savant syndrome manifests by having a superior specific set of skills in a developmentally disabled person. Savants are like human supercomputers—while the rest of us are buffering, they can recall in 4K. We must not assume all people with autism are savants, unless we are particularly told about their exceptional talent.Another famous person with Savant syndrome was Kim Peek, portrayed by Dustin Hoffman in the 1988 movie The Rain Man. Kim Peek was later diagnosed with the FG syndrome and not autism spectrum disorder.What is the prevalence of autism?Worldwide, it is estimated that about 1 in 100 to 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with autism, though this number can vary based on the country and diagnostic practices. In the United States, according to the CDC, as of 2023, approximately 1 in 36 children are diagnosed with autism.  Some studies even claim that boys are 4x more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls.It is a very prevalent condition, and we have some recommendations about screenings. I feel like most parents have a “feeling” that something may be wrong with their kid, but I think most parents may feel that way, especially when they have their first baby.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children should be screened for autism at 18 months and 24 months of age during routine well-child visits, using standardized tools like the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) or other validated autism screening tools.   MCHAT is a two-step screening that requires a second visit if the first test shows moderate risk. Also, we must continue to follow up the development of kids in well child visits and be on the lookout for signs of autism, even outside of the recommended screening ages. How is autism diagnosed?Autism is typically diagnosed between the ages of 2 and 3, but it is often identified in early childhood. According to the DSM-5, there are two main clusters of symptoms for autism.- Cluster A: Involves social communication and interaction impairments in various settings.- Cluster B: Involves repetitive behavioral patterns, limited areas of interest, and atypical sensory behaviors/experiences.According to the DSM-5-TR criteria, a diagnosis of ASD requires that the following criteria are met:All three of the following Cluster A symptoms:- Social-emotional reciprocity: Difficulty engaging in mutually enjoyable conversations or interactions due to a lack of shared interests or understanding of others' thoughts and feelings.- Nonverbal communicative behaviors to socialize, such as using aspects with eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice, which makes communication more difficult.- Difficulty developing, understanding, and maintaining relationships: This could manifest as difficulty adjusting behavior to social settings, an inability to show expected social behaviors, a lack of interest in socializing, or difficulty making friends despite wanting to.Two or more of the following Cluster B symptoms:- Stereotyped or repetitive movements, use of objects, or speech: Echolalia or flapping the hands repeatedly.- Persistent sameness, where patients require adherence to routines or ritualized patterns of behavior, such as difficulty with transitions or a need to eat the same food each day.- Highly restricted, fixated interests: This may include an intense focus on specific objects (trains) or topics (such as dinosaurs or natural disasters).- Sensory response variations, including heightened or diminished responses to sensory input, such as adverse reactions to sounds, indifference to temperature, or excessive touching/smelling of objects.Additionally, the symptoms must:- Significantly impair social, academic/occupational, and daily functioning,- Not be better explained by intellectual disability or global developmental delay, and- Be present in early childhood. (However, symptoms may only become apparent when social demands exceed the child's capacity; in later life, they may be masked by learned strategies.)How can we go about managing autism?There is no "cure" for Autism. However, various therapies can help manage the condition. Treatment tailors to the individual's age, strengths, and weaknesses. Our main goal is to maximize function, encourage independence, and improve the patient's overall quality of life.During office visits as primary care doctors, we have to use different strategies to make the visits more focused on individual needs, making sure the caregivers are involved as well as the patient. We communicate with caregivers before and during the visit to optimize patient compliance, allow enough time for the family/caregiver to talk about the patient's history, allow the patient to play with instruments/materials provided, and use simple instructions. Sometimes, the physical exam can be the most challenging aspect of the exam because it is so overstimulating for the patient. Hence, allowing enough time for the patient to be comfortable is key.This is a multidisciplinary management that includes, family med, pediatricians, social workers, behavioral health, etc.Personal experiences interacting and managing patients with autism in the clinic or in the hospital:Dr. Arreaza: I have seen a lot of adult patients with autism.I see a challenge commonly found is agitation and the use of medications. I prefer to defer any prescriptions to psychiatry, if needed, but behavioral concerns can be successfully managed by behavioral health with participation of family, caregivers, and especial education.TJ:  Personal story with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD).Conclusions: Dr. Arreaza: Autism is a spectrum, not all persons with ASD are the same. They are not all geniuses, and they are not all developmentally delayed, they are not just black or white, but there are several shades of gray in between. TJ:  Not one doctor or one family will take care all responsibility, it requires a multifaceted approach.People with autism can live a long and meaningful lives.Thank you for listening to this week's episode on Autism. We will see you next time.  Have a nice day.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams have corrected and expanded the definition of "savant" and have explained conceptually how the savant syndrome occurs. The secular world is uncomfortable with savants because of what their condition suggests, as discussed on today's broadcast. Hear also a clip from a documentary about Kim Peek, the model for the Rain Man character played by Dustin Hoffman. And the guys present the corrected meaning of the word savant from rsr.org/definitions: a person with a physiological break in the barrier that formed after Man's Fall, that break opening partial access through the barricade designed to block access to our greatest intellectual potential. Hear also a news report about a slingshot savant, Rufus Hussy, who like Annie Oakley, almost never misses and hits quarters out of the air, bugs without damaging the leaves they're sitting on, and can slice tall weeds to fall, as requested, to the right or left. Finally, to give more context to understand their expanded definition of savant, the guys share audio from neuroscience professor Dr. Michael Egnor presenting scientific evidence for dualism, that the mind is not the brain, but that these are distinct entities with the mind not being physical. (See also rsr.org/not-physical#mind, and rsr.org/brain-dead-patients-who-have-recovered, and rsr.org/mri.) Today’s Resource: Whatever happened to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? The answer is fascinating and can be found in this fun and amazingly educational 3-part video. Available on DVD (and audio download or MP3 CD). * Unrelated, but Fun: Bob Enyart on the global flood...

Savant brains are severely compromised. Yet some savants have, as neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran says, "islands of astonishing talent." A few such savants have astonishing musical talents. Others show an awesome ability to replicate what they on paper. Others have amazing mathematical skills. I recently wrote about Savants in the most current edition of 3rd Act Magazine. I explored a set of hyper-activated abilities that seem to explain how savants achieve their super-powers. The list of hyper-skills (suggested by Alan Snyder of the Brain & Mind Centre at the University of Sydney) are all skills possessed by the average human brain. In the article, I suggest that cultivating these set of skills might help those of us with "normal" brains to ramp up our cognitive performance.

You will hear her creative support for runners but more prevalently her resilience, positivity, and desire to support women regardless of the journey they are on or the challenges that they face! Kim discusses a method of photo journaling that she used during her breast cancer treatments; how “a race is just a fleeting moment in time,” that what leads up to the race is most important in terms of growth and transformation; Kim is a running coach, podcaster and author of Responsive Endurance Training: The Integrated Approach to Thriving as an Athlete. As I mentioned above she is also a 5 year breast cancer survivor and she ran all the way through treatment, celebrating with a half marathon at the end of chemo. She is excited to share her story with all of us.

Today I’m talking with Denise Zavitson. Denise is a speaker, author, adventurer, champion of change, and empowerment coach and is dedicated to helping others create a life filled with joy and purpose by understanding, embracing, and practicing her 7 Daily Principles for Living. Following her own experience with personal loss, culminating in a tragic accident that claimed the lives of three family members, Denise embarked on a personal pilgrimage--retreating to an isolated cabin in Tennessee to read, study, reflect and identify practices that would propel her toward a life of greater joy and abundance.  During this time, she was inspired to compose Seven Affirmations that have become part of her daily practice. These Pillars of Truth have helped her move past negative emotions and destructive habits to a place of purpose, joy, and abundance.

Training is not one-size-fits-all.  Learn to take a self-study approach so you can thrive as an athlete. In her early 40s, Kim became a runner, a triathlete, and then a coach. But she didn’t always like endurance activities. At one point, she threatened to fire her trainer because the sessions involved Kim running around the 1/10th mile track at the gym. She stuck with it because she enjoyed the camaraderie among the moms, and because she quickly dropped 50 pounds, all while realizing she was capable of achieving hard things. The discipline she developed as a runner gave her the strength to face a 2015 breast cancer diagnosis with courage. She continued running through treatment and celebrated the end of chemo by running a half marathon with a group of friends a week later. As a new mom, a frequently-injured runner, or a breast cancer survivor, Kim was never content with sitting back and letting life happen to her. Every obstacle, injury, and surgery motivated her to look for solutions and continue her education.  Now—as a coach, podcaster, and author—Kim shares the lessons she's learned so that others can discover the solutions she so desperately needed.  As a runner and fitness enthusiast, I enjoy pushing my body and mind to achieve things I previously believed were “impossible.” As a coach, I believe that everyone has the ability to become who they want to be.

And many of us could only dream of having superpowers to make our lives easier. But life is stranger than fiction, and some people actually have unique abilities much like superheroes. These are 5 People with Extraordinary Abilities. 5. Joy Milne – Super Sense Dr. Tilo Kunath, a young Parkinson’s UK Senior Research Fellow was giving out a talk presenting his research about Parkinson’s. After the presentation, one attendee stood up and asked him an unusual question, “Why do people with Parkinson’s smell different?” 4. Laurence Kim Peek – Unforgettable Considered one of the most famous savants, Kim Peek became the center of fame when his remarkable abilities became the inspiration for the character played by Dustin Hoffman in the film Rain Man. In the movie, Dustin Hoffman played Raymond Rabbit, a character who was a savant - someone who seems to perform certain tasks with no effort at all. Usually, it is tasks considered impossible to do by normal individuals. 3. Derek Paravicini – Musical Genius He might have limited verbal skills but when it comes to playing the piano, Derek Paravicini can make it sing. Born blind, Derek is an autistic savant and musical prodigy who resides in London. He was born prematurely, at only 25 weeks old, together with a twin sister who didn’t survive. Because of his prematurity, he was placed in oxygen therapy at the neonatal intensive care unit. While it helped him, the oxygen overdose also caused his blindness and affected his developing brain. This resulted in various learning disabilities as he was growing up. 2. Wim Hof – Iceman Known as the “Iceman,” Wim Hof defies the odds when he manages to run barefoot marathons around the Arctic Circle with only shorts on. His amazing feat of physical endurance is baffling and would no doubt kill others if they tried. 1. Veronica Seider – Super Vision Veronica Seider may be a dentist by day but she has one extremely unique characteristic that even superheroes might be jealous of, she has a super vision! In 1972, Veronica Seider was a student at the University of Stuttgart in West Germany when the school decided to do vision tests on its students. It was here they discovered Veronica had a rare and unique eyesight, she could see 20x better than the average person. This means she has telescopic eyes that allows her to see things clearly even if it’s relatively far away. For instance, she can see and identify individuals clearly even if they’re a mile away from her.

Kim Peek is the author of Wholistic Endurance Training. She used to hate running but a turn of events in her life brought her to not only loving running, but becoming a running coach.

When Kim first started running, she didn't like it at all. But she was committed to going to the gym because of the sisterhood at the gym. She thinks part of self-love is learning to know what you need and seeking it out. And having a community to support you is a part of self-love In her early 40s, Kim became a runner, a triathlete, and then a coach. But she didn't always like endurance activities. At one point, she threatened to fire her trainer because the sessions involved Kim running around the 1/10th mile track at the gym.

She continued running through treatment and celebrated the end of chemo by running a half marathon with a group of friends a week later. Kim is the author of "Holistic Endurance Training: The Integrated Approach to Thriving as an Athlete," a guide to endurance training that encourages a self-study approach--because training is not one-size-fits-all. Kim shows athletes how to use a journal to track things like training, nutrition, sleep, mood, and thoughts so they can determine which training strategies work for their bodies... and which don't. We say a book is a self-study approach to thriving as an athlete.  The training approach I outline in the book is called Responsive Endurance Training-- what is that and why is it different? Check out this episode. Kim goes deep into answering these questions.  Kim is also the host of the podcast, Power Up Your Performance, where she uncovers the secrets to thinking, feeling, living, and performing like a champion.

She stuck with it because she enjoyed the camaraderie among the moms, and because she quickly dropped some weight, all while realizing she was capable of achieving hard things. The discipline she developed as a runner gave her the strength to face a 2015 breast cancer diagnosis with courage. She continued running through treatment and celebrated the end of chemo by running a half marathon with a group of friends a week later. Kim is the author of "Holistic Endurance Training: The Integrated Approach to Thriving as an Athlete," a guide to endurance training that encourages a self-study approach--because training is not one-size-fits-all. Kim shows athletes how to use a journal to track things like training, nutrition, sleep, mood, and thoughts so they can determine which training strategies work for their bodies... and which don't. We say a book is a self-study approach to thriving as an athlete.  The training approach I outline in the book is called Responsive Endurance Training-- what is that and why is it different? Check out this episode. Kim goes deep into answering these questions.  Kim is also the host of the podcast, Power Up Your Performance, where she uncovers the secrets to thinking, feeling, living, and performing like a champion.

He is traditionally recognized as the last soldier of the British Empire to be killed during the First World War. He was fatally shot in the left breast by a German sniper as he stepped out of the house into the street. He was pulled into one of the houses and treated by a young Belgian nurse who ran across the street to help, but died a minute later at 10:58 a.m., November 11, 1918. His death was just two minutes before the armistice came into effect at 11 a.m. He died at the age of 25 in Ville-sur-Haine - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Lawrence_Price11 Nov 1918 - Henry Gunther, American soldier and likely the last soldier of any of the belligerents to be killed during World War I. Gunther's squad approached a roadblock of two German machine guns in the village of Chaumont-devant-Damvillers near Meuse, in Lorraine. Gunther got up, against the orders of his close friend and now sergeant, Ernest Powell, and charged with his bayonet. The German soldiers, already aware of the Armistice that would take effect in one minute, tried to wave Gunther away. He kept going and fired "a shot or two". When he got too close to the machine guns, he was shot in a short burst of automatic fire and killed instantly. He was killed at 10:59 a.m., about one minute before the Armistice was to take effect at 11:00 a.m. He died at the age of 23.11 Nov 1973 - Artturi Ilmari Virtanen, Finnish chemist and recipient of the 1945 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his research and inventions in agricultural and nutrition chemistry, especially for his fodder preservation method". He invented AIV silage which improved milk production and a method of preserving butter, the AIV salt, which led to increased Finnish butter exports. He died from pneumonia at the age of 78 in Helsinki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artturi_Ilmari_VirtanenFamous Birthdays11 Nov 1951 - Kim Peek, American savant. Known as a "megasavant", he had an exceptional memory, but he also experienced social difficulties, possibly resulting from a developmental disability related to congenital brain abnormalities. He was the inspiration for the autistic savant character Raymond Babbitt in the movie Rain Man. Although Peek was previously diagnosed with autism, it is now thought that he instead had FG syndrome. He was born in Salt lake City, Utah - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Peek11 Nov 1948 - Vincent Schiavelli, American character actor and food writer noted for his work on stage, screen and television, often described as "the man with the sad eyes." He was notable for his numerous supporting roles. He often linked his unique facial appearance and tall stature to Marfan syndrome. Schiavelli gained fame as a character actor. His best-known roles include Fredrickson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the Subway Ghost in Ghost, Organ Grinder in Batman Returns and Dr. Kaufman in Tomorrow Never Dies. Schiavelli also performed in a few video games, including Emperor: Battle for Dune as Harkonnen Mentat Yanich Kobal. He was born in Brooklyn, New York - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Schiavelli11 Nov 1907 - Joseph Gilbert Hamilton, American professor of Medical Physics, Experimental Medicine, General Medicine, and Experimental Radiology as well as director of the Crocker Laboratory, part of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

There are people with real life super powers. Savants can read faster, have perfect recollection, and show other amazing abilities beyond normal people. Rain man is based on a few real life savants that Dustin Hoffman met. They say Genius is close to Madness, the Boys put that to the test and see just how close it is.

Today’s episode is a little different, because I am being interviewed by Kim Peek on Power Up Your Performance Podcast. Kim created Power of the Run and is a breast cancer survivor.  Our episode was all about Obstacles being opportunities in disguise. I tell my story and a deep realization I had when I was on the internet reading about someone receiving The Jane Goodman award for empowering women at the YWCA. As I read on I realized this article could’ve have been about me. This took me back to a time 29 years ago when I was scared, alone, and afraid. I got extremely choked up. This cut straight to my heart reminding me of my WHY. I had this huge full circle moment remembering the dream that was in my heart 29 years ago when I left my ex because I and my children were victims of domestic violence. I left with nothing. I was scared how was I going to make it, how I was going to feed my kids, put a roof over our heads. Married at 18 and pregnant 3 months later, I had never even worked a full time in my freaking life. How was I going to take of us? My first full time job was at the YWCA. This was where I saw and worked with battered women, homeless, and addicts. I knew I did not want to live in my story. I wanted to help them not to live in their story, but to create a new story in which we were living as victors not victims. I said someday I’m going to help women so they don’t go through what I did. I knew I didn’t have the tools and the resources at the time, but now I do. I have been working with women for 29 years. Today as I sit on the eve of my grand opening of The Sisterhood of SWEAT I had a Huge Realization that I created my own org.for woman and here I am living my WHY. S.W.E.A.T stands for STRONG, WOMEN, EMPOWERING, ACHIEVING, TOGETHER. Listen to the podcast HERE Questions Kim Asked: How did you get started into fitness?

That is exactly what happened with this week’s guest Kim Peek.   Listen to the podcast HERE   Kim says that a “light bulb” went off for her one day while at the gym.

Fran Abad y José J. Villalón presentan esta nueva edición de Ciencia y Más Allá. En esta ocasión, entrevistaremos a: - Alfonso Neto, Coordinador General de Andalucía del SEIP (Sociedad Española de Investigaciones Parapsicológica), quien nos hablará del Congreso que tuvo lugar en Marzo del presente año y del que se celebrará el año que viene. - Andres Blanco, gerente junto a Rocio Barrera del Grupo Pandora, quien en esta ocasión nos hablará de la investigación que realizó junto a Jorge Sánchez y Pedro Amorós en el Preventorio de agua de Busot en Alicante. Fran Abad nos trae en esta nueva edición, nuevas noticias científicas a cual mas interesante. José J. Villalón nos trae en esta ocasión el curioso "Síndrome del Sabio".

I det åttioåttonde avsnittet av podden pratar vi om fysisk aktivitet och psykisk ohälsa. Det här är första delen i denna tvådelade special. Gäst är psykiatrikern, författaren och vetenskapsjournalisten Anders Hansen. Hans bok ”Hjärnstark: hur motion och träning stärker din hjärna” är en av landets mest sålda böcker alla kategorier sedan den släpptes förra året, och ska nu lanseras i USA och andra länder. I den här intervjun förklarar han varför fysisk aktivitet är det överlägset bästa sättet att ta hand om din hjärna.Anders berättar att våra hjärnor är föränderliga och anpassningsbara, tvärtemot den seglivade myten om att vi får ett visst antal hjärnceller som sedan sakta dör ifrån oss. Men för att hålla hjärnan i form är fysisk aktivitet i princip ett måste, menar Anders. Christian frågar om vilken form av fysisk aktivitet som är bäst, vilka begränsningar man bör känna till, vad Anders rekommenderar till sina egna patienter, hur våra stressystem påverkas av träning, och varför vissa väldigt vältränade människor ändå blir psykiskt sjuka. Dessutom pratar vi om Kim Peek – som är förlagan till Dustin Hoffmans karaktär i filmen Rain Man, samt om hur koncentration, kreativitet och minne förbättras av något så enkelt som en promenad.Hjälp till att hålla podden gratis och få tillgång till Dokument-serien på: http://patreon.com/sinnessjuktKöp Christians böcker och tavlor signerade här: https://vadardepression.seKöp Sinnessjukt-tishan här: http://sinnessjukt.se/butikBoka föreläsning här: http://vadardepression.se/forelasning-psykisk-ohalsa/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I knew this was going to be an insightful interview, because Guy had already laid down the parameters of his argument: In just 10 years time humanity would become extinct on our planet. In the intro before we went to air - I asked Guy if he was open to me looking at ALL possibilities and to even humour me in my indulgences. So read on dear reader - this is a very unique interview and I will summarise what subjects I was unable to totally cover at the end. I knew this was going to be an insightful interview, because Guy had already laid down the parameters of his argument: That in 10 years humanity on our planet would become extinct. Well, I am 12 years older than Guy and have heard statements like this before... but 10 years! Then he opened the door to take him up on his following statement on his website: Nature Bats Last. (www.guymcpherson.com) As always, I’m open to alternative views. In fact, I’m begging for them, considering the gravity of this particular situation. I was ready for Guy, but I needed another hour to be able to build out a more compelling case for a global shift in consciousness. Or to at least seed the ideal. One of my first interviews (that I do not have a record of) was with NZ’s top scientist for 2004, Peter Barrett. At that time he was Director of the Antarctic Research Centre at Victoria University of Wellington. In his acceptance speech for the Marsden medal for exceptional scientific achievement he stated: “We have to change our ways because continuous growth and business as usual on our planet, will cause us to become extinct within the next 100 years." Well, the status quo in Wellington were not happy and he was asked to recant and offer up another statement, which he duly did, and stated: “the end of civilisation as we know it!" That same year I also interviewed James Lovelock, instigator of the Gaia hypothesis, that our planet is a super organism. He too implied that we had reached a tipping point. His two subsequent books The Vanishing Face of Gaia and The Revenge of Gaia were grim and pessimistic outlooks at what was happening due the sustained abuse and avarice that we humans have been engaged in, especially over the last 70 years in exploiting our great sustainer.   He too said that we would not make it into the next century. He said “Enjoy life while you can. Because if you’re lucky, it’s going to be 20 years before it hits the fan.” That was early 2008, however he later stated in 2012 that he was an alarmist. He still maintains that by the end of this century 80% of the population will be wiped out.   When hearing Guys pronouncement last week that "humanity would become extinct in 10 years time", I was already case hardened. As a ‘trooper’ it did not phase me - I was/am ready. I've been steeled for this since 1975, when I read the Doomsday Book by a Gordon Rattray Taylor. This book covered the fate of what we as a humanity were doing to our planet. In one nights reading it shocked the daylights out of me altering me substantially to this day. His foreboding narrative of the future of Planet Earth painted a collision course with the death of humanity, into a morbid, lifeless, Martian outlook. So I opened up with the recent Paul Henry morning TV3 show where ‘NZ’s loose canon and fervent denier of so many things’ was totally gob smacked. For this was the first time of hearing of his 10 years death sentence to his future dreams, unfinished diatribes and indulgences. He was like a goldfish blowing bubbles, yet looking very closely at Guy, you could see his eyes intently staring out at the world. The original 4 minute sound bite interview turned into a 10 minute one, as Paul wavered all breaks for advertising. He wanted more information about his starkly shortened future! In short, Guy maintains that planetary temperatures are all locked in already. We have blown the thermostat of our planet and we can’t do anything now. It’s like giving the command for an oil supertanker that has been at top speed to stop! This takes something like 120 miles or so to bring it to a complete halt, as its momentum is so powerful. Guy encourages us to go back to the land, take action and protest this takeover, such as in South Dakota at Black Rock. “It’s the right thing to do”, he says. People today suffer from NDD or ‘Nature Deficit Disorder’. We have lost our connection and don’t know where much of our food comes from. Hence our lack of consciousness of our living planet.   There are always consequences. Year after year we have failed to solve the problem of growth at all costs. Not to mention the poisons we produce due to extraction of resources from the bounty of the land we inhabit. We have had the warnings time and time again and we took no action. We have all been born into the situation to find we are now born into captivity! Lack of Connection Kevin says the 1% are not burdened with empathy, to care about what they do. It’s a huge social disconnection that when they make decisions, they hurt the world. My question to Guy:    Do you think we have sociopaths running the high end of our planet? Yes, we have. He could argue that we are all part of the problem because we (in my words) have all become consumers, consuming ourselves and our common future.  That basically 95% of us always vote on our bank balance and what’s in it for Me? Kevin then jumped in and stoically stated that he wanted to be the last person planting the last tree on our planet, before the lights go out. I then leapt in and said I would be there with him! Ready to eat of the fruit of that tree! We are Slow Learners Then I introduce the concept that: 50 Years ago we heard that we would destroy our civilisation possibly in around 100 years or so  -  if we did not change our ways.    20 years ago they revised it to possibly 40 years 15 years  it was down to 30 years Now Guy today is saying about 10 years to go... It nearly rhymes with. 50 years ago the human race were only using 10% of their potential 20 years ago they then said it was  7% 5 years ago it was down to 5% 2 years ago it was we were only using 2% of our potential So we are using less and less of our potential … to find out we're using less and less of our potential … What is going to happen in 5 years time? Guy jumped in and said yes, we have totally lost our way. Changing the Whole Focus: From Disaster to Changing of Human Consciousness Without grinding into what is actually happening …  temperatures rising, droughts, catastrophic events, etc. (I was even going to ask him about Geo engineering however our time was short and this is covered in my summary at the end.) I decided to beat a path to the inner self, to our potential as a human and what can we as a humanity do, seeing the situation in Guys words was so dire. Albert Einstein said that we cannot solve the problems with the same consciousness that caused them in the first place. Where do you see yourself in relationship to this Guy?  And he says he is all for it, but we have not done anything about it. Next, Nikola Tesla said "when mankind starts researching the invisible he will make more progress in 10 years that he will have in the whole of civilisation". Guy says that there is a lot that we do not know, because it is invisible and we have not learnt enough to become more evolved. Tesla talked about the ‘luminous akasha’ as to where he tapped into Akashic Records .  Akasha is a sanskrit word that Buddhists believe in “a permanency of records in the Akasa” and “the potential capacity of man to read the same". What do you think Tesla was saying here?   (listen to the interview for more) We are one Molecular Unified Energy Field. What about the fact that our planet is one unified molecular field that we are all connected - you to me in the gigantic sphere of atomic frequency - the air molecules between us, our bodies and this building is all one field oscillating at a particular frequency. Guys says ‘that we are that.’ This is fact YES?  We are “one field". We Humans are the Nerve Endings of Our Planet I mention that James Lovelock says that we humans are the nerve endings for Gaia, Mother Earth and that when someone stands up in the Amazon with a sign saying “No more deforestation!” they are a nerve ending telling the world that the Amazon is wanting help. Same for someone standing up in Palestine with a sign saying “We want Peace”. This again is another nerve ending communicating with all other nerve endings that we need to change, stop war and heal for Peace. Well the planet is inflamed and the ones who are hearing the Earth’s call and feeling this calling deeply, are coming in with compassionate mindfulness to be a part of ‘her immune response!" Guy says that he is open to a miracle - and that we need to ‘Passionately Pursue a Life of Excellence’   We have the saying the ‘anima mundi' which is Latin for World Soul?  So for arguments sake we could be all connected at the energy unified field? We share the one breath - all of us. This is all unseen and is invisible. Kevin adds that the Nuclear power stations in the US are still going and there are dangers of invisible radiation escaping. The US government has now extended the power station’s licenses by many more years. Even though virtually all have passed their use by date. They are now extremely dangerous because the cost of decommissioning them is outrageously enormous. The Japanese reactors at Fukushima are equally dangerous because they have been idle and out of action for 5 years.  They are now being recommissioned, and this is fraught with problems. Guy says of Tesla and regarding ‘the invisible' that there is so much we do not know. He talks of 'dark matter' and that science is now recognising there are many other Universes other than our own. It’s a Multi verse. And he says about a change of consciousness - is there enough time for a change of consciousness? … Mass consciousness?  He says he does not know, but is open to it for sure. Also mentioned are Walter Russell (the American mystic) and Viktor Schauberger, who have seen into the invisible. Schauberger, (known as the 'father of water'), was able to lie down beside rivers and ‘become one with them’ in consciousness. Meditation was mentioned as a way of being able to find solace from the outside world as well as heal from grief, which is what many people are experiencing as we learn of the plight of our home planet, mother earth. The conversation then moves to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross where 1600 people came to listen to her tell of her research at the Auckland Town Hall. She had interviewed 20,000 people who had had ‘near death and out of the body’ experiences that we were more than a mere body. This was to extend the conversation beyond the limitations of seeing the world from a 3 dimensional world devoid of spirit or soul. That there is far more to existence than this world of the so called 5 senses.    I mention names like: Drs. Kenneth Ring Drs. Raymond Moody Ian Stevenson University of Virginia Who have all studied death and Guy agrees that death and dying plus sex are taboo subjects. Also there are books like Super Nature - Dr Lyall Watson, prolific author of many books on life The Secret Life of Plants and the Secrets of the Soil  by Peter Thompkins & Christopher Bird. These books on nature extend our knowingness about how ‘alive’ nature is. And we are now running out of time, to extend our view of the human capacity to learn and grow. Guy says that finding joy and to be open to allow joy to find us is so important. Find your tribe. Go back to grass roots working with your neighbourhood. Pursue excellence. These are the best things we can do at present. Guy says that extinction is a natural process and we are in the 6th great extinction. Kevin says, that now he knows his time is limited, it has freed him up immensely. He can do far more things that benefit the community that he is part of, on the island that he lives on. And there is no better time than the now. Guys says, if we had made the change during the cultural or flower power revolution in 1966-67 it may have made a difference to the world if it had spread. However, our children and grandchildren are not being factored into our future. This interview covers many other heartfelt subjects and is well worth the listen as it is sprinkled with little gems. In Summary: So that was it, we ran out of time. However, I also wanted to cover the other unknowing capacities of the human being such as: The story of savants There was the 'Mega Savant' Kim Peek, best known by the movie character he inspired the “Rain Man” played by Dustin Hoffman in the 1988 film of the same name. Fast absorption was no problem for Peek, who could just as easily read and memorise a telephone book as a compendium of Shakespearean plays. Kim could take in 10,000 words-per-minute reading two pages at a time—the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye. If a human can do this, can not any other human, once we tap into that aspect of our psyche? Then there was fire walking - Fijians and Indians in South Asia and their diaspora in Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Réunion, South Africa, Malaysia and Singapore, who celebrate the Thimithi festival. David Willey, professor of physics with the University of Pittsburgh, says he believes fire walking is explainable in terms of basic physics and is not supernatural nor paranormal. Willey notes that most fire walks occur on coals that measure about 1,000 °F (538 °C), but he once recorded someone walking on 1,800 °F (980 °C) coals. Mind over matter? What about Speed reading? Anne Jones, six times World Speed Reading Champion told the Guardian media that most of the time, she reads at speeds between 800 and 1,500 words per minute. This is much higher than the average for a good reader given by  fellow academics, of 200 to 400 words per minute. Theodore Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt was among the most intelligent U.S. Presidents and famous for his efficient reading skills. He would often take in an entire book before breakfast. If time permitted after dinner, he’d read through a few more before bed. Then his relative, President Franklin D. Roosevelt Inspired by his fifth cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt adopted old Teddy’s auto didactic approach and taught himself to speed read. He began by fixating on two-to-three words at a time. He then pressed on to three-to-four, six-to-eight, and so on. Eventually, America’s beloved four-term President could read whole paragraphs like ordinary folks read individual words. Following in the Roosevelt’s footsteps, President John F. Kennedy made speed reading a personal priority during his tenure in the White House. With practice, he cultivated a rate of 1,2000 wpm, as he wanted to be able to read two or three books daily. JFK wanted his brother Bobby to learn to speed read, too, and the pair of Kennedy’s took classes together to that end. So what is the capabilities of the human mind?  This is the never ending question. I also had many other questions about some yogi’s in India that I wanted to talk about. Information that’s not publicised in the main stream media such as Paramahansa Yogananda and his astounding death. ET Intervention? Plus, in my pre-talk with Guy before the interview, I did even mention to him the ET situation. Captain Edgar Mitchell (6th man to walk on the moon) mentioned on Campbell Live here in Auckland in 2008 that the US authorities have bodies and that they have been studied. So there is most definitely an Extra Terrestrial equation that has to be at least discussed. If our planet is in free fall and losing it and they have super energy technologies that can reverse all the heating and reflect sunlight back into space... They could have reason to push into our world, defying the prime directive not to intervene in another planet’s evolution, however again I ran out of time to bring this subject back up. Post Thoughts on 10 years or not? With the subject based on only 10 years to live as a species, I personally have another slightly optimistic opinion. The Antarctic ice is close to 1.9 km (1.2 mi; 6,200 ft) in thickness and covering an area of almost 14 million square kilometres (5.4 million square miles) containing 26.5 million cubic kilometres (6,400,000 cubic miles) of ice. It will take a long time to melt, as it is in darkness and cold for 4 to 6 months a year. And Greenland has a mean altitude of ice at 2,135 metres (7,005 ft). The thickness is generally more than 2 km (1.2 mi) and over 3 km (1.9 mi) at its thickest point and covers an area of 1,710,000 km2 (660,000 sq mi).  And yes there is the slowing down of the Atlantic ocean gulf stream too. There are many, many other contingencies to play out before I adhere to Guys 10 year statement, though he has far more up to date information than I. I remain confident that I am still going to enjoy a long life of a degree of happiness, bearing in mind we are in such a majorly critical evolutionary phase. Yes, Geo Engineering!  I was going to ask Guy about what is happening about Geo Engineering. (geoengineeringwatch.org) I see there is a large in-house disagreement between them and Mr.G Edward Griffin of  ‘What in the World Are They Spraying?’. However as this is still unclear - I decided against it. Yes we live in very interesting times!
