1. GOI PEACE AWARD

In November 2006, I was in Japan to receive the Goi Peace Award. This award is given by the Goi Peace Foundation which is based in Tokyo and is dedicated to creating a peaceful and harmonious world, transcending all boundaries of race, religion, or politics. Their Peace Award is given to an individual who they feel has made outstanding contributions towards helping to create this peace and harmony for all life on earth. The website for the Goi Peace Foundation is: www.goipeace.or.jp/english/index.html

The award ceremony took place in Tokyo during the annual Goi Peace Foundation Forum, titled “Creating a New Civilization: Collaborations with Youth.”  I gave a keynote address and participated in dialogues with youth leaders from 28 countries. A video giving a brief over view of the ceremony can be found in the video portion of this website or by clicking here . I felt deeply honored to receive the Goi Peace Award “in recognition of your outstanding contribution to promoting a new vision, consciousness and lifestyle conducive to the creation of a new civilization by inspiring wide layers of the public to transform their value systems toward a more sustainable and spiritual culture.”

2. NEW VIDEOS

In 2006, I worked with the Global Mindshift organization based in Palo Alto, California www.global-mindshift.org/ to develop three, mini-documentary videos that explore this critical time for the earth: 1) Humanity’s heroic journey of awakening and return to a living universe, 2. The life-stage of the human family and how we are growing up, and 3) Humanity’s choice to either pull together for an evolutionary bounce or pull apart and create an evolutionary crash. These can be found in the video portion of this website (or by clicking here). The videos also include two examples portions from a keynote address and two interviews that were done as part of the “Global Oneness” project see: www.globalonenessproject.org

3. FINISHING BOOK

With the support of several foundations and key individuals, I have been able to complete a working draft of a book that I’ve been researching and writing for 26 years! The current title is: “THE FIRST MIRACLE: Our Journey of Return to a Living Universe and How it Transforms Our Lives and Future.”  I am so grateful for the opportunity to complete this life-project. I hope this book will find the right publisher and its way into the world in 2008.
