For a Moment, Did They Listen to Papa?
W
asn’t it interesting that at least for a moment, when Pope Francis went to Congress and spoke, the chatter, the derisive and divisive comments that we have come to expect stopped when the Pope spoke? He wasn’t saying things so totally new that Congress was stunned to silence, but the spontaneous objections we often hear were missing. His ideas were not that different but his presence and presentation certainly were. In Congress the hollow-sounding greetings of false respect—the overused references to “my honorable and respected” colleagues—appeared to be replaced with a genuine respect and listening. In some ways it was almost like Papa giving a lesson or having a heart-toheart with the kids—with a grace that was very different from what they were used to. Certainly we don’t really know what was going on inside their heads. At least not any more now that we ever do and that includes the times when they tell us—but as we’ve seen over and over during the Pope’s visit to the US, people seem to stop and listen to him. Every day there were reports and examples of how this this humble man, with kindness and sincerity, spoke louder than the shouts and “convincing” rhetoric that we often hear. There was one report from someone in a Philadelphia bar that said people “have put down their drinks, are attentively listening to Pope Francis talk about family.” I personally didn’t expect anything like that. Didn’t really think much about his visit before he arrived. Now it looks like an unexpected gift that caused many to pause long enough to listen and perhaps experience or view things a little differently.
If they were still alive, my dad’s folks, the Irish side of the family, might have been excited. My dad, however, left the church before high school and never passed that along to his kids. So I am not Catholic nor am I trying to promote him or his religion, but at the same time I was impressed. You don’t have to be Buddhist to appreciate the presence, kindness and message of The Dalai Lama; and it was surprising for me to discover the Pope had a similar presence and even affect on people. Looking at the two of them and the quiet strength and power that they have is quite a contrast to the shouts and fists that many seem to think make themselves and their arguments forceful and strong. The Catholic Church has had a lot of problems, of course, and some people still questioned this Pope’s sincerity. Some were upset that he wasn’t more political and clearer about the evils of abortion, for instance, and harder on those not strictly following all the teachings. But he always seemed to take the high road and present his vision and benefits and joy of family, for instance, as a positive alternative without preaching about abortion or other ways people might “sin.” He spoke in broader terms of the church changing with the times and welcoming people. Again, quite a contrast to “my way or the highway” or “If we don’t play by my rules, I’m talking my toys and going home.” I mean the rules some in Congress would like to adopt more universally. He definitely had a unifying message that brought people together instead of separating them. What could be bad about that? —continued on page 21

The AIHM Conference
People, Planet, Purpose: Global Practitioners United in Health and Healing in San Diego The Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine is having their annual conference at Paradise Resort and Spa in San Diego, October 24- 29th. AIHM brings together visionary doctors dedicated to engaging a global community of health professionals that embraces all healing traditions to promote health and delivery care. Deepak Chopra, MD, Dean Keynote Speaker Ornish, MD, Jean Watson, RN, Joe Deepak Chopra, MD Pizzorno, ND, are among the 67 faculty/experts who will teach over the course of 5 days. The AIHM conference is communitycentered, open to health professionals and health seekers alike as their focus is educating on sustainable and global health. It is becoming more apparent that there is a need to address the validity of less ‘traditionally’ accepted therapies. Patients are looking for less chemical-based solutions for their problems and are reclaiming their power as a self-healing organism and in doing so, their (our) focus is on making use of all possible therapeutic practices to achieve optimal well-being in the pursuit of prevention; and the doctors are heeding their patients needs. The AIHM unites the many voices in integrative health to build bridges between professions and offer credible educational and certificate programs for licensed healthcare providers. The Academy empowers members by supporting true interprofessional and equitable collaboration; and advocates for affordability and accessibility on behalf of patients and practitioners and builds leadership capacity with the next generation of caregivers. We are moving toward a new paradigm of health care for humanity and the planet. The AIHM Annual Conference provides a unique combination of educational experience and sacred space, blending the art and science of integrative health & medicine with the most AIHM Speaker Dean pressing global issues. The Academy Ornish, MD program is designed to give you clinically relevant information for your practice and tools to address the growing health issues humanity is facing. Expert speakers will take us on a journey through evidence-informed, comprehensive, affordable, sustainable person-centered care. Faculty will explore cutting-edge research in integrative medicine and key global issues for the health of our planet.
Tieraona Low Dog, MD is now Interprofessional Fellowship Director at AIHM
The event includes numerous opportunities for personal renewal and deep community connection. This educational course is for healthcare professionals seeking to expand their clinical competencies and advance their mind-body-spirit approach to healing. Credits are available for many healthcare professionals: physicians (MD, DO, ND, DC, DOM), nurses, dieticians, acupuncturists, midwives, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and others. After attending this activity, participants should be able to: Discuss the importance of treating the whole person, mind-body-spirit; Assess the value of a physician/patient partnership in improving health; Evaluate the role of evidence-based integrative holistic medicine in the treatment and prevention of common medical conditions and chronic illnesses; Incorporate integrative holistic medicine treatments into patient care, referring to specialists as necessary; Utilize tools and resources provided to incorporate integrative holistic medicine into their practices/ organizations; and establish a network of like-minded practitioners from various disciplines and geographic areas.

EARTH TALK
Vertical Farming What advantages do so-called “vertical farms” have over traditional gardens and farms? When Dickson Despommier’s book The Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the 21st Century was first published, there were no vertical farms. Now, it’s an exciting movement in U.S. food production, providing pesticide-free leafy greens and herbs to a fast-growing population. Indoor vertical farms use LED (light emitting diode) lighting for efficient photosynthesis in place of sunlight, and can grow plants year round—in half the time and with far less water compared to outdoor, open-field farms. There’s also no risk of genetically modified (GMO) seed contamination or crop failure due to weather conditions like drought. “On average, we’re growing in 16 days what otherwise takes 30 days in a field—using 95 percent less water, about 50 percent less fertilizers, zero pesticides, herbicides and fungicides,” says David Rosenberg, chief executive and cofounder of AeroFarms. “People don’t want chemicals on their food. And we’re able to offer them a residue-free product with no pesticides.” Aerofarms is currently constructing what will be the world’s largest indoor vertical farm. The $30 million, 69,000 squarefoot complex in a former steel mill in Newark, New Jersey’s Ironbound District will grow up to two million pounds of kale, arugula and other greens annually. At the groundbreaking ceremony in July 2015, New Jersey Acting Governor Kim Guadagno said: “By 2050, there will be nine billion people who need to eat every day. And the solution is right here on the property you’re standing on.” Vertical Harvest’s three story, 13,500 square-foot vertical farm is also now under construction in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. With an average annual snowfall of 450 inches, one might not equate the mountainous region with year-round local food, but Vertical Harvest’s tiny 1/10 acre lot next to a 8 | The Life Connection

parking garage aims to grow up to 100,000 pounds of tomatoes, herbs and greens annually. It would take a traditional outdoor farm five acres, or 50 times the land area, to grow that much food. “We’re replacing food that’s being grown in Mexico or California and shipped in,” explains Penny McBride, a Vertical Harvest co-founder. “We feel like the community’s really ready for a project like this. Everybody’s so much more aware of the need to reduce transportation, and people like to know their farmer and where food’s coming from.” In 2013, FarmedHere opened its vertical farm in an abandoned warehouse in the industrial Chicago suburb of Bedford Park. The farm, which was the first of its kind to receive USDA national organic certification, has been successfully distributing its produce to an extensive array of grocers within the Greater Chicago area, including Whole Foods, Mariano’s, Shop & Save and Pete’s Fresh Market. FarmedHere reuses 97 percent of its water, uses no herbicides or pesticides, and takes advantage of indoor growing technology to create optimal-tasting plants. “The plants have better nutrients, better growing conditions, and actually we can tweak the taste with lighting and with nutrients, with temperatures, with turning lights on and off at certain times of the day and with humidity,” said Paul Hardej, who founded FarmedHere with his wife, Jolanta. “We have conducted a lot of blind tests with the best chefs in Chicago and we found our products to be a winner.” CONTACTS: AeroFarms, www.aerofarms.com; Vertical Harvest, www.verticalharvestjackson.com; FarmedHere, www.farmedhere.com.

Create a Soul Shift
with Dr. Barbara De Angelis Interview By: Amelia Leigh
“
The Soul Shifts and transformations you make on the inside will manifest in profound transformations on the outside.” ~ Dr. Barbara De Angelis
Dr. Barbara De Angelis
is a renowned author, speaker, and media personality, who helped popularize the self-help movement in the 1980s, and for over four decades has reached tens of millions of people with her inspirational messages on how to create a life of true freedom, mastery, and awakening. Dr. De Angelis has written 14 best-selling books and been published in 25 languages. She credits her ability to articulate and transmit transformational wisdom to her serious spiritual practice and study from the age of 18, including many years spent in residence with several of the most renowned spiritual masters of our age. Dr. De Angelis lives in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. Her most recent book Soul Shifts: Transformative Wisdom for Creating a Life of Authentic Awakening, Emotional Freedom & Practical Spirituality (Hay House, March 2015) debuted as an international bestseller. She will be in San Diego Oct. 9. (see end of article). It was such a pleasure to meet you in Orlando. What a wonderful presentation at the I Can Do It Conference (ICDI). Barbara: It was great! I think of my presentations as transformational events. My job is to create an environment and conditions, where I help create a breakthrough. What I mean by conditions is a certain energy that I hold for people. I want people to leave as if they are more expanded, hopeful and committed to making different choices.

how conceptual soul shifts pan out in life. It is very powerful. You really can shift in an hour and a half. If you are paying attention, you can completely shift your journey. As a teacher, you never know what your offering is going to be. It is like a lifeline. I am not there to just inspire or entertain people. I really want to help them make a shift and be able to go out and feel their course and direction in life is different. This work is so important as people are in times of need now. I am excited to hear that you are coming to the Seaside Center for Spiritual Living. Yes, I want to put out the invitation to people, who are not just ready for a shift, but want to spend an hour and a half where there is a lot of uplifting motivation and practical terms they can relate to. That is such an important part of what I do. The practical spirituality of spirituality. It is so nice to hear about angels and good things, but what are you supposed to do when you have a fight with your wife? That is my path as a teacher, take the idea of shifting and transforming and growing and make it into maps and practical things people can do that will make a difference immediately. The point isn’t to say inspiring things about myself and my own journey. My journey is irrelevant, except the fact that it has given me the ability to do what I do. I put the attention on the audience and not on myself.
The ICDI conference included planting seeds in the subconscious to help make a positive shift in life. What advice that you can give someone interested in transforming themselves? There are several things and I talk about them in my new book Soul Shifts. Transformation on any level. Everyone wants to transform in some way whether it is spiritual, business or how they are emotionally. It is always an experiential event. It is not an intellectual attitude or a collection of revelations. They are powerful inner-vibrational shifts that really rock your world. They manifest into complete transformations on the outside of your life. It is the difference in painting a leaf green—it can wear off, you can repaint it and the leaves turn brown—versus going down and changing the soil, the root. So the plant starts blossoming in a healthy way. A lot of spiritual seekers haven’t quite understood that collecting experiences and other people’s wisdom is not transformation. It is a great first step. This has to be something that happens inside of each person. The choice in each moment. Not just going to a conference, meditation retreat, reiki session and coming back thinking you are transformed. You have to be making certain choices every day that shift you from “not highest, to being your highest.” It is doable and experiential, all internal. There is a technology to transformation. It is not accidental, where you have to wait, hope and think it will one day shift. There are things you can do that will instantly shift you; and things that will put you at your worst. There are ways you can sync and it is controllable. That is really exciting when people get that. It’s not that you have to wait until the next breakthrough or be in the presence of a teacher. You do need to have a map and technology to do it. I am trying to remind people of the idea that we have time to eventually heal ourselves, get ourselves open. We are in denial. This is it, right now! We all need to make the shifts we have been putting off or almost dealing with as quickly as possible. Really get that this is the time. All of the work, everyone reading this, who has gone to therapy or journal, or done anything for themselves, has contributed to the tremendous transformations that have taken
place in this world. You can see the rise of good forces on the planet. Not mysterious things. Real people, real things, real groups. We are now pulling all Light workers together. This is what we are here for—recalibrate ourselves now and not waste time. There are 1,000 important things that are all crucial pieces of the puzzle. Tools that will help people grow in a more harmonious, easy, less accidental fashion. Ways to not get caught off the path or on side-roads that are not good for them; or make errors on the path of growth. For instance, being stuck, and feeling that you can’t do it if you leave anyone behind. You don’t want to keep growing if your best friend or partner is not. This is an example of a transformational error that a lot of people make. It isn’t tragic, but slows us down. Understand the principals of awakening. These are things I have spent 40 years learning. No one taught me any of these. They are all from my own process and path of awakening, as well as working with tens of thousands of people. Literally watching and cataloging all the things people are doing that aren’t serving them. Then being able to turn them into things that create direction. I’m not a cerebral teacher and did not study someone else’s techniques. I have been to the mountain and back a million times. Go this way, don’t go this way, if you think you are lost, you are not, go another ten steps. And that’s a blessing of having been on this path myself. Not intellectually, but deep, deep spiritual study and practice for so many years. You do have to learn lessons yourself and shift your vibration. Tuning into our energy. We all have access to enormous amounts of power and wisdom. Our circuits are jammed, unplugged —continued on page 17 www.LifeConnectionMagazine.com

Unlimited Possibilities – A DAY LIKE NO OTHER By Roger Cavnaugh, PhD
T
here will be a Day Like No Other. It’s coming soon enough so that the younger ones among us will be fully in their maturity – they will have helped to make it so. The older ones with us now will not be there. They will have made their transition to the other side of the veil between life and death, yet they will know of it and participate in their own way, but more so than they ever have in life. That day has been a long time coming. It has been dreamed of so often that almost everyone thinks it must only be a utopian fantasy that has no chance of ever become a reality. Like our deepest yearnings, however, it arises from an Inner Truth that has guided everything in our human becoming. It only awaits our sanity. Imagination and fantasy, dream and stories hope that it is, it is inevitable because everything in who we really are conspires to bring it into reality. On that day everything as it normally is will stop, as the streets fill with a surging humanity spontaneously celebrating itself. Irresistible and instinctual, gloriously free and unconstrained, except for the most profound gratitude and wondrous respect to extend what has been sealed that day; processions will fill the streets with banners galore and every kind of music, and communities will gather to recognize themselves and extend the bonds of friendship, mutual care and unity. Those who have most helped to create that day will be honored in ways that illuminate our common heritage and humanity. Many will be delirious with joy, weeping openly or singing from their full voice with a passion they have never felt for anything that concerns all of us. That day, the first of its kind on this earth, will be called World Peace Day; and the day will be cel-
ebrated as long as humans live on this planet. On that day protocols will be signed that make Jerusalem an international city and the shared capital of both Israel and Palestine. At the United Nations every nation will become a willing party to the new Concordat that promises and succeeds in the complete elimination of nuclear weapons and every other kind of invention to commit mass murder. A Council of Elders, proven peacemakers whose wisdom and neutrality has often been demonstrated, will assist in the mediation of every dispute that might otherwise lead to violence or gross injustice. The boundaries of all countries will be recognized and protected. Under the inspiration of realized spiritual teachers in every culture, beings who actually embody and teach how to apply the values we claim are at the core of our beliefs and institutions, and which we would like to think underlie our way of life, we will move away from an economy and politics of personal advantage and special interests towards the common good. The resources of the Earth, meant for all, will be shared so that basic needs will be met. The wilds, creatures and natural spaces as well as the waters, air, and soil will go into conservancy so that instead of sustainability, accountability and conservation being just political buzzwords, they will have substance. We are going in that direction no matter what because increasingly we see it’s a moral and practical necessity. Clearly, peace, which must be based on a minimum of social justice, is an absolute requirement for human progress, if not for sustaining most of what we have. We are stumbling our way to that realization amidst the chaos of our miscreation’s. Despite the boasting and brash threats of our presidential candidates, we are just not so eager now to go to war, nor do we in the United States see ourselves as that superpower that can go it alone no matter what other nations do. And most importantly, the costs of war and perpetual preparation for war as well as the results of war are more daunting than they ever have been since we were locked in nuclear stalemate. The conditions that direct us towards peace, many intuitives feel, are to become intensified in the next several years. Just like the elephants and other wild animals that instinctively moved away from the coastline before great Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, a surprising number of people whose education has not completely deadened their instinctual knowing, are now seeking higher ground. For me, that higher ground is a more elevated awareness that directs us to peacemaking with the same zeal with which we have and continue to occupy ourselves with by providing for our defense. I don’t see that something terrible is going to happen that separates the

just from the unjust. What I see that our planet simply must face what it has created. Here in the United States we have been relatively buffered from the consequences of the multiple global conflicts in which we are participants. That buffer may not be very functional for long. Beyond the resurgent nationalism in Russia and China, which in both countries is restrained because they have a great deal to lose if conflicts escalate, there are those with no stake in the current world system. They have shown us in bloody and destructive dramas that they have no constraints. In addition, there is a limit to the burden of debt and to the high growth levels needed to sustain that debt, especially since we have recently used the financial tools we have to just about their limit and expended enormous resources in restoring the world economy that was destabilized mostly by greed and willful ignorance. I liken the near future to the birth process; an intense series of contractions that may be prolonged by hidden and unreal-
ized resistance but which ultimately creates new possibilities as life is renewed. Will we contract and go back to the old ways if the economy starts to spiral down or war reaches our shores in much more potent ways? Or will we move towards what we know: we can choose as a people and a planet the harmony of Eden as a vision adequate to who we are. Already new communities are springing up in every part of the globe, communities of souls dedicated to a new way of life that is more just, compassionate, and peaceful; communities that genuinely live in harmony with Nature. I don’t think the rest of us are that far behind those who have left the urban areas to return to the land. Next time in the TLC, let’s explore what peacemaking and moving towards Eden in the world we have created looks like now. By that time, the 28th and the preceding lunar eclipse will have come and gone; and we will see that once again, the End of the World, as some fundamentalists worry over, is not an exterior event imposed on us and marked by a cosmic clock but rather a natural phase of our collective growth.

or clogged up. Untwist the places that are knotted up. It’s not just about doing it, but the question is how. This is what I offer in the book and will speak about at the Seaside event. Understanding there is nothing missing in us. We have had a radical disconnection that shifts the path of growth from “aversion to enthusiasm. From dread into determination.” Instead of thinking there are all of these things I need to work on. To shift that and understand there is nothing missing we need to recalibrate which shifts each decision in every moment to tune me into my highest. We are built for awakening and wired for greatness. Obviously, we have unplugged some of those wires. Then there is the “what can I do to restore the default settings?” That step is part of what I am doing. When someone is feeling betrayed because of cheating, or scared because they lost their job. It doesn’t help to hear “I am the Light.” You are the Light, except you are hurting (your human part). How does that help? How do you gain cosmic steadiness and apply the fact that yes, we have all of these infinite resources. It’s one thing to hear you have a million dollars in a Swiss bank account. Unless you know where it is, which bank it is located, have the account numbers, key—you can’t say you are rich. You have to know how to make a withdrawal. Sometimes people’s consciousness has not caught

up to their transformation. It needs to be unleveled, rebooted. That is what I help people do. It doesn’t take that much, but it needs to be more that just knowing you are Divine or a child of God. What is your normal daily practice now? I know you have studied TM since 1969 with Maharishi. I am at a place where I don’t need to go anywhere anymore. The whole idea, for anybody doing anything, is contacting a place that is just another vibrational reality of how we really are. There is nowhere you are traveling to. You are in a sense aligning yourself with a different energy. It is already there inside of you. There is prayer or meditation that points you in the right direction, gives you keys to help you find vibrational realities that are the highest. Once you do that long enough, it recalibrates your whole life. You don’t need to go somewhere to do something. Whether it is chanting, meditating, walking, or even teaching. My practice is how I live in each moment. My practice is love and service. That isn’t what I am telling others to do. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said, “It is better to study with a teacher who became enlightened rather than those who are born enlightened.” If you are just naturally good at something, you don’t necessarily become a great teacher. When you have been on a path and understand the process, then you can teach about the pitfalls. He was a fantastic teacher and attained liberation. I think that’s why I have been a successful teacher. If we
are not compassionate, for instance, look at the nuts and bolts of the process of how we drift away from our highest and get back. I have used that for decades with myself. Gotten lost, come back, made mistakes, come back. I believe I chose to have a very eventful karmic path to help be able to teach from it. Help people understand “don’t take the left turn, take the right turn.” My greatest credentials are my own path and the fact that I am not just spiritual, but I am emotional and highly intellectual and cerebral. I have articulated the invisible in a really practical way, not in an esoteric way. I want people to find it valuable and relate to me. I am not just speaking to the spiritually elite. Everything I talk about is real to me. I’m not expressing an ideal; it is what I have experienced. It is about the fruit of their practice. Help them understand as they say in yoga, “off the matt.” In church or at home with soft music playing it is easy to feel together. It doesn’t matter what you are feeling when alone. It is more important how you are going to be operating when you are not alone.

You are saying to practice it moment to moment. Yes, but not from the head or reminding oneself. A real shift is when you don’t have to remind yourself about it. It’s a natural reflection of an inner shift. That is the whole point of Soul Shifts. It’s not about here are some things to remember. It is about recalibration of your self.

you roll your left foot. They teach you to feel better when not rolling your left foot. Over time, you reteach your brain to not roll your left foot. Then you don’t have to keep telling yourself, “I am rolling my foot, stop.” Your brain has now reset itself. All transformation is actually neurological. When we have enough high vibrational experiences, we can make higher choices. These instantly flood us with good feelings. We shifted our behavior, from the inside out. We were standing there. Now we are here. Our love and choices comes from a completely different setting. That is what I mean about a shift in identification. All enlightenment comes from within—not just in the head. This isn’t some theory it’s how you deal with life and the healing taking place inside. I hear all the time how businesses have expanded because their energy is so different. It is because they are in a state of connected remembrance. We are all wired for the highest. Just call me a spiritual electrician. I want to help you see what is not set up properly—which one is missing, which one is frazzled, which one is rusty. That is the whole idea in a nutshell. Barbara De Angelis will be speaking Friday Oct. 9 on “Transforming Your Life from the Inside Out” at Seaside Center for Spiritual Living in Encinitas. Doors open at 7pm with a Private VIP Reception scheduled for 6pm. Tickets for both events are available online at www.SeasideCenter.org. Call (760) 753-5786 for more information.

As one person commented, he doesn’t care where you’ve been or what you’ve done; he speaks about moving forward with hope and in the best way possible. Imagine if he passed that idea along to Congress. They wouldn’t know where to start, would they? They usually start who’s responsible for this? Who’s at fault? And at the same time they already know—it was them on the inside of the aisle, of course! The search for truth or experimenting with solutions is overshadowed by the push for “our” side’s position. Establishing blame is the game. I’m not absolutely sure, but I think that’s why we call them the establishment. It’s a verb not a noun, and often misused. The Pope certainly touched on a lot of our contemporary issues and did not get into anything similar to the idea that people might be sick, poor or homeless because of their actions and poor choices or they didn’t deserve help. What was also refreshing was that he wasn’t afraid to state the obvious that no one talks about. Do we think we can sell guns all over the world without consequences? If he did reach some Congressmen, however, it shouldn’t be too surprising given that he moved many people to look at their life or their direction. He shifted perspectives. Personally, the one I’m curious about—the story we probably won’t hear— was what happened for that

devout Catholic and exspeaker of the house, John Boehner. He’s someone who says he goes to mass or prays every day. He also seems to be a very sensitive and is quick to cry. He said he was very moved to have the Pope speak to Congress. Yet there is not a lot that the two seem to agree on politically. Aren’t they at the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to questions of equality— racial, gender, social and economic? All of the above I think. Yet the day that Boehner and the Pope had a “lengthy” private meeting was the day Boehner resigned from Congress. He said he got up that morning and decided it was a good day to resign. I can’t help but wonder though if the meeting he had with the Pope two hours before he resigned had its effect too. Could it have been a “you can’t get there from here” conversation? “There” meaning heaven, and “here” meaning—well, decide for yourself. Or as he does with other topics, maybe the Pope just talked about the vision of how attractive retirement might be for Boehner. Who knows if Congress listened or heard the Pope any differently from how they normally do when hearing views they disagree with? But it’s clear some of us did. Who knows what effects the Pope’s visit might have? No matter the words—the politics or the religion—having a cool breeze interrupt our hot winds for a while was refreshing, wasn’t it?
