The purpose of this issue of Transformation Magazine is to imagine new rules for what is troublesome about force-driven, linear, hierarchical, centralized, authoritarian systems. Such systems can easily be identified in governments and agencies, businesses, religions, professions and associations, families, marriages, communities, charitable enterprises, and organizations of all kinds.
The challenge is to imagine something different, with the conviction of a Martin Luther — the German priest whose disillusionment with the abuses of the 16th century Roman Catholic Church sparked the Reformation. In 1517, Luther presented his concerns in the form of ninety-five theses which, in legend, he nailed to the door of the Castle Church at Wittenberg — an act of defiance that stands as a powerful example nearly 500 years later.
Today the internet serves much as did the church doors of the 16th century. Yet it remains just as difficult for most of us to imagine what we consider to be ‘not possible’. Why is this?
Elliott Maynard
Dr. Elliott Maynard is a scientist in the finest sense of the word. He does not simply think outside the box. With Elliott, there is no box, no tabus, no systemic imperatives that suppress imagination and the opportunity for research and deliberate science. His new book, “Brave New Mind, Living in a Future Science World” sets forth the quantum-field science for the future: a new conscious operating system for humans and the environment. His 25 keys to personal and planetary evolution form a living tapestry which reveals how anyone can access the quantum field to enrich their lives and expand their consciousness.
