#209 In this episode, I’ll have
a chat with author, speaker, and leading thinker in consciousness
and contemporary spirituality, Peter Russell. With all the
misunderstandings in the world of the word “Consciousness” and how
to really “Let go”, Peter says that the way we view the two is all
wrong. According to him, we don’t let go of people or things, but
our attachment to them - the way we see them. So when we let go, we
are actually letting go of nothing. He believes the most critical
challenge we face today is to free human thinking from the limited
beliefs and attitudes that lie behind so many of our personal,
social and global problems.
Join us as we venture
into what being conscious really means, the how of letting-go, and
how it can open into an uncomplicated relationship to what is right
now, dissolving whatever gets in the way of us showing up fully,
sanely, and gratefully. Peter and I will also consider together how
wonder releases tension in the mind, how gratitude releases tension
in the heart, and how a radical practice of letting go, releases
the whole being into its true nature - beneath and beyond even our
humanity. At the end of this episode, you will have learned with
great clarity and depth how you can move your life into greater
alignment. Enjoy.
About Peter: Peter Russell
is on the faculty of the Institute
of Noetic Sciences, a fellow of The World Business Academy and The
Findhorn Foundation, and an Honorary Member of The Club of
Budapest. At Cambridge University (UK), he studied mathematics and
theoretical physics. Then, as he became increasingly fascinated by
the mysteries of the human mind, he changed to experimental
psychology. Pursuing this interest, he traveled to India to study
meditation and eastern philosophy, and on his return took up the
first research post ever offered in Britain on the psychology of
meditation.
He also has a
postgraduate degree in computer science, and conducted some of the
early work on 3-dimensional displays, presaging by some twenty
years the advent of virtual reality. In the 1970s, he was one of
the first people to introduce human potential seminars into the
corporate field, and for twenty years ran programs for senior
management on creativity, stress management, personal development,
and sustainable development. Clients have included IBM, Apple,
Digital, American Express, Barclays Bank, Swedish Telecom, ICI,
Shell Oil and British Petroleum.
In 1982 he coined the
term "Global Brain" with his 1980s bestseller of the same name in
which he predicted the Internet and the impact it would have. His
latest book, “Letting Go of Nothing: Relax Your Mind and Discover
the Wonder of Your True Nature” was published on August 8, 2021.
His other books include: The TM Technique, The Upanishads, The
Brain Book, The Creative Manager, The Consciousness Revolution,
Waking Up in Time, The Global Brain / The Awakening Earth, Seeds of
Awakening, and From Science to God.
As one of the more
revolutionary futurists Peter Russell has been a keynote speaker at
many international conferences, in Europe, Japan and the USA. His
multi-image shows and videos, “The Global Brain and The White Hole
in Time” have won praise and prizes from around the world. In 1993,
the environmental magazine Buzzworm voted Peter Russell
"Eco-Philosopher Extraordinaire" of the year. His principal
interest is the deeper, spiritual significance of the times we are
passing through. His work seeks to distill the essence of the
world's spiritual traditions and present it in ways relevant to the
current times.
