Creating a Sacred Relationship, Kenny Johnson 3:20pm–3:55pm
SAUSALITO ROOM We speak of being in imprisoned by our mind. T is is our human experience. When faced with incarcera-
tion as a real fact. Brick and mortar, guns and fences. Where do you turn? Whom do you call upon? What power exists to hear and then come to your aid? It is here when one gets down on their knees and seek divine intervention and guidance. It is in this silent and sacred space that you come face to face with the One-True Real-God that defi es description. Herein we experience gratitude and knowing this is Advaita, this is Non-duality.
SPL9. T e Timeless Dance of Time
Dancing on the Edge of Time, Sean O’Laoire 2:00pm–2:40pm
LARKSPUR ROOM LARKSPUR ROOM When the fi rst group of Homo Sapiens Sapiens sat around a campfi re in East Africa and began to practice
their newly acquired speech, they told stories. Over time these stories broke into four diff erent kinds: Personal Stories, which gave individuals their ontological identity; History, which was the tribe’s eff ort at fashioning a group identity; Cosmology, which were their eff orts at explaining the universe in which they found themselves; and T eology, which was the record of their relationships with the gods. But these roads have often wandered in the wasteland: Personal Stories became the justifi cation for greed
and narcissism; History became propaganda; Cosmology disintegrated into materialistic scientism; and T eology became the breeding ground of fundamentalist sectarian religions. It’s time to recover the true purpose of story-telling: to see the individual as a nexus in the web of life; to
view history as the teleological imprint of a future that beckons us; to reinstate awe as the primary tool of scientifi c enquiry; and to drill down deeply into the wells of religion until we fi nd the mystical water-table that feeds all of them. So, in my presentation, I will cover fi ve points: fi rstly, I will briefl y trace the evolution of spirituality and
suggest where it is headed; secondly, I will quickly look at the development of our self-image as a species; thirdly, I will examine the notion of “Trickle Down T inking” in our economic policies, in our technolo- gies and in our major religions; fourthly, I will look at some great bifurcation points in evolutionary history and predict what the next one may be; and, fi nally, I will look at what a suitable charter might be that will prepare us for cosmic citizenship; citizenship which is the reward for impregnating that All-Source-Filled Void with the intentionality of a unity consciousness.

Radical Love - Living the Future Now, Judith Orloff , M.Ed. Co-founder of Radical Love Foundation 2:40pm–3:20pm
LARKSPUR ROOM Many of us think the future is the period of time still to come. Yet, when this future arrives, it is always
now, never later. Many times, we succeed in a relationship, professional life goal, or a terrifi c plan for our company, yet our inner life may still feel as it did when we began. So what is the future? Much of the time, we plan and dream of something new that will happen later or we do our best to keep the good feeling that we have today and guard it tenaciously. Radical Love‚Äôs promise is to bring clear access to a new future here right now‚ no waiting. Our experiential presentation will invite you to live a new future based on the skills of sharing your direct experience of pure listening, pure speaking and free choice.
Living Now: T e Collapse of Time and the Timeless, Dorothy Hunt 3:20pm–3:55pm
LARKSPUR ROOM Time is timelessness made manifest as being, neither existing nor not existing. Time and space are
constructs that allow the perception of duration and form in the Dream—life’s fl ow. What we call time is simply the perception of change, or impermanence. When mind is at one with the fl ow of impermanence, there is, paradoxically, an experience of stillness, or a dropping away of time. When mind is in resistance to the moment, identifi ed with a “me” who demands life appear in a certain way, time/being may be experi- enced as an enemy to defeat or something to cling to. However, living from the deepest dimension of our Being, space, time and the timeless collapse into now.
