Cutting Edge Consciousness

Tim Kring is best-known for creating megahit television shows such as Touched, Heroes and Crossing Jordan, but the process that generates these tremendous programs is subtle. Perhaps Tim's best work is yet to come-in multimedia and Internet platforms. No matter what he is creating, Tim relies on a felt sense and a process that draws in material beyond his intellectual grasp. Tune in and listen to Barnet and Freeman discuss the creative process that has attracted 76 million fans to Tim Kring's work on this week's edition of Cutting Edge Consciousness.

We all make decisions and draw conclusions very early on in our life about who we are, what is possible, and how the world works, based on a flawed perception of reality. These early deductions create assumptions that operate in our lives as limitations. In this powerful conversation, successful filmmaker Barnet Bain and his wife of 32 years, Sandi, a former powerhouse agent, discuss their most vulnerable flawed perceptions. This is a rare glimpse into the undercurrent of the long-term commitment each of them has made to their own process and to their sacred union that has served as a catalyst for growth and expansion.

James Twyman is a model for living fully in every moment ("being awake to the moment") as he allows the current of life to lead him from one inspired moment to the next. The path of transformation is wrought with uncertainty-it naturally involves some amount of discomfort and friction, as what we have "been" comes apart to create space for what we are becoming. The cycles of death and rebirth are painful and confusing-but when we welcome our FULL feelings, our experience changes-sorrow becomes sweet and joy become exuberant. Our lives become adventures with mystery and magic-an unfolding of possibility that is impossible to predict. Enjoy this engaging conversation as Barnet Bain and Freeman Michaels host James Twyman on Cutting Edge Consciousness.

This week's show features Gregg Braden, one of the world's leading ambassadors of the Dawning Age. The "Shift Is Hitting the Fan"-competition patterns that spawned important advancements in the 20th century are topping out and becoming less and less effective-systems organized around a competitive model are breaking down at every level of society. Solutions to global crises will not be found at the same level of consciousness from which they were created. Tune in to hear Freeman Michaels and Barnet Bain speak with visionary scientist and transformational leader Gregg Braden.

The intelligence and wisdom of the heart can guide us to profound fulfillment and personal satisfaction. Working with orphans in Rwanda has opened Lori's heart in a way that has given her life deep meaning and purpose. Each of us has the opportunity to heal and grow beyond the limitations of our "identified self"-it is a generous offer to open our hearts. When we break the spell, the illusion of separation, we come to understand our true potential as human beings. For more information, please go to http://projectlightrwanda.com/.

Fantasy and projection do not build true intimacy-they promote unconscious patterns that are destructive. Real-life love is about having a process to depend on. Making conscious choices and holding a vision for our lives is what directs our experience toward fulfillment.

We are always messaging something, all of the time-most of us are not clear on what we are "putting out." Having a personal proclamation, a sense of what we stand for and who we want to be out in the world can go a long way toward improving the way we are received by others. Publicity and Media Expert, Jill Lublin, joins Barnet Bain and Freeman Michaels to discuss building an authentic brand.

What makes people happy, content and fulfilled? How can answering that question be the basis for launching a successful company? In this premiere episode, co-hosts Freeman Michaels and Barnet Bain will be joined by Chip Conley to talk about a better business model based on intrinsic values related to service and vocation-a new pyramid of priorities where employee fulfillment and satisfaction are of utmost concern to the company. As founder and CEO of Joie de Vivre Hospitality, a boutique hotel and restaurant company expected to gross more than $300 million in revenue this year, Chip has employed a revolutionary management model that turns traditional business practices upside-down. Chip will discuss how "bottom line" thinking coupled with "command and control" management practices perpetuate a vicious cycle of dissatisfaction at every level of an organization. Hosts Freeman and Barnet will chime in with thoughts about top-down hierarchy and unhealthy competition, and what affects they have, not only in the workplace, but also in other areas of our lives.
