Recommend this show by sharing the link: pod.link/2Pages I had two quite different experiences of a library when I was a child. My school's librarian quite liked books but didn't really like kids. I was basically scared away from that space. Luckily, my local library was a whole other adventure. There was the kid's section upstairs where I could wander the stacks and find books I might like, and then came that moment when you go down and dip your toes into the grown-up section below, which opened up many new worlds. Books open up worlds, and libraries help you stumble over the books you never knew you would love, until you did.  Shariff Abdullah is the Director of the Commonway Institute, an organization that seeks to create a world that works for all. He's well-educated, was a lawyer, is an author, has traveled the world, and has worked in over 120 different cultures across 45 different countries. It's an impressive resume for someone who was raised in, according to Shariff, America's worst city.

Beyond empty posturing and campaign rhetoric that often maintains the societal status quo, practice social transformation that brings adversaries into dialogue through their common humanness. Challenging status quo is first a personal process and always occur within each person's context and identity. Learn to talk about a potentially divisive issue without dividing, to state contrary opinions without pulling away from our mutual humanness. That we are also a global human society reminds us of our profound rippling influence with each choice to look beyond the familiar to the disturbing with curiosity to risk learning, over and over.Join Janet, Garry and our dear friend, colleague and global leader, Dr. Shariff Abdullah, J.D. and Founder of Commonway, as we explore this context for CHALLENGE, to risk beyond fear so that we lift each other up and create a world that works for all living things.Register here for the Vanguard Series so you never miss an episode!Watch the full interview by clicking here.

Link to Unity: [https://unitycentraloregon.org/live-services/] Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Dr. Shariff Abdullah shares, “Practicing Inclusivity in a World of Divisions”. It's relatively easy to practice "We are One" on Sundays. Our challenge is to practice inclusivity with people who are not like us... and who also DON'T like us! Talking about inclusivity makes you look "spiritual". However, the real challenge is actually practicing inclusivity in a world that makes it so easy for us to separate from each other. The practice of inclusivity is our VISION for a world that works for all living beings. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: [http://bit.ly/prayerclaim] Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: [https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/] Donate via Paypal: [http://bit.ly/donateunitybend] More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org]

Shariff Abdullah – COVID-19 Crisis and OpportunityCaterpillar’s Last Stand, and How We Connect the Emerging “Imaginal Cells”Aired Tuesday, May 26, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM ESTAn Interview with Author and Activist Shariff Abdullah“Compared to downheaval, upheaval is the lesser of two heavals.” — Swami BeyondanandaAs more of us have come to recognize, fear – and the fight or flight response – puts us in our hindbrain, where we are hard-wired for survival. This is essential for the short term, but what about the bigger picture?Transformative ideas and evolutionary solutions, and out-of-the-box creativity come from our forebrain. In times of crisis and upheaval, the urgency of the shituation gets our attention. And … it’s the creative part of ourselves that must give us the INTENTION.Our guest this week, Shariff Abdullah, has cultivated the ability to hold two ideas simultaneously – the ideal and the real deal – and use the dynamic tension between the two to help us get from the urgent crisis to the emergent opportunity. He uses the same analogy Bruce Lipton and I use in “Spontaneous Evolution” – the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly – to characterize our current predicament.More intriguing – maybe trying to get from “here to there” keeps us crawling like a caterpillar along the same linear pathways that got us where we are. Instead says Shariff, we need to work backward from “butterfly” so that we figure out how to get from THERE to HERE.Shariff Abdullah, J.D., is a consultant, speaker, author and advocate for societal transformation. His mission is to bring currently dysfunctional systems and structures into alignment with our common human and spiritual values, to create a world that works for all living things. Shariff consults with people and organizations on the leading edge of change, including government agencies, businesses and social service organizations.As Director of Commonway Institute, he has visited over 43 countries and over 100 distinct cultures, giving him a unique perspective on our global human and spiritual issues, and a vision that spans culture and class. He has proven experience in working with all peoples and in many different situations, bringing harmony in conditions of actual or potential conflict and discord.His books on leadership and societal change include the award-winning Creating a World That Works for All, and Seven Seeds for a New Society. He also will be talking about his latest work, The Chronicles of the Upheavals, a fictional book that does indeed track us back from there to here.If you’re ready to shift your perspective from fear-based emergency to love-based “emerge ‘n see”, join us this Tuesday, May 26th 2-3 pm PT / 5-6 pm ET. http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/To find out more about Shariff Abdullah and the Commonway Institute, please go here: https://commonway.org/Visit the Wiki Politiki Show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/Connect with Steve Bhaerman at https://wakeuplaughing.com/#ShariffAbdullah #COVID-19Crisis #COVID-19 #SteveBhaerman #WikiPolitiki

This week, Dr. Patrick teaches from the ideas of Shariff Abdullah and his work for societal transformation. There are three stories that are alive on the planet. The first story is the Keeper Society, who live in harmony with all of life. They are the indigenous people on the planet. The second story is the Breaker Society. These are the ones "creating a world that is best for me". They predict and control. They represent separation. The third story is the Mender Society, who create a world that works for everyone. They embody the unitive consciousness, the idea of One Life, One Presence, and One Power. Keepers say, "Earth is Abundant." Breakers say, "There is never enough." Menders say, "Abundance needs our help."

Aired Tuesday, 17 July 2018, 5:00 PM ESTCommon Ground in the Age of Trump – From Resistance to Pro-activismA Conversation with Author and Activist Shariff Abdullah“There are no sides, only angles. And when we see it from the right angle, we are all on the same side.” — Swami BeyondanandaAt a time when resistance seems “irresistible” and Trumpism and anti-Trumpism have dominated the conversation, is there a way to create a proactive, unifying vision and a movement that activates and accelerates that vision?Our guest this week, Shariff Abdullah, says yes, there is. And that pathway is a world designed to work for all.Shariff knows all about conflict and gang rivalry… he grew up in a rough neighborhood in Camden, New Jersey where teenagers who would have been best off working together for the betterment of all joined gangs that fought one another. Out of this potentially “down-bringing” upbringing, Shariff got his law degree, and has spent the better part of his lifetime working on behalf of mutual understanding, inclusivity and turning the ideal of “oneness” into the real deal of creating systems and situations where we can indeed create a world that works for all beings.As an author, Shariff has written several paradigm-shifting books, including: The Power of One: Authentic Leadership in Turbulent Times; Creating a World That Works for All; Seven Seeds for a New Society; Practicing Inclusivity; and The Chronicles of the Upheavals.In this week’s conversation, we will discuss a proactive rather than reactive way to trump Trumpism by stepping off the battlefield and “daring” to speak, stand for, and work for what we all know is possible. We’ll address those classic questions, “what’s so, so what and now what?” as we learn some key distinctions between reactive activism and “proactivism” where we design a new game, rather than playing by the rules of a fixed game.For Shariff’s ideas for what won’t work, watch this: https://youtu.be/hhWgIxSzK4cFor his ideas about what will, watch this video: https://youtu.be/qTy8RJLv3J0Shariff Abdullah can be found at: http://shariff.commonway.org/If you’re wondering how we can not only “take our country back” but take it forward, please tune in this Tuesday, July 10th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET: http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/Or, find us on the Wiki archives on Wednesday: http://wikipolitiki.com/archives/How you can support Wiki PolitikiIf you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, "put your money where your mouse is" ...
