From Machine to Green: From Modern to Post-Modern - Part II
Matthew Fox, PhD

The modern age developed knowledge but at the expense of wisdom. The result has been ecological disaster and destitution for indigenous people everywhere and a loss of meaning and shared values in our lives. How do we bring wisdom back to our own daily lives, to our work, to our educational systems, to "all our relations?" Explore the movement from modern to postmodern, from machine to green, from patriarchy to interconnectivity, from text to context, from anthropocentrism to living cosmology.


Presenter Bio: Matthew is a post-modern theologian and visionary with a “cosmic” world view who has been hailed as being “on the cutting edge of both education and spirituality.” He is President of the University of Creation Spirituality, is an internationally acclaimed lecturer, and is the author of 21 books, including Original Blessing, The Reinvention of Work and Passion for Creation.

9/11 and Demonic Consciousness
David Ray Griffin, PhD

My thesis is that the attacks of 9/11 were products of demonic consciousness, with "the demonic" understood as an emergent reality that is diametrically opposed to the creative power of the universe and strong enough to threaten its purposes. To explain how demonic power can arise in a monotheistic universe, I use the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, with some help from Carl Jung. Then to explain how demonic evil arose historically, I employ ideas from Andrew Bard Schmookler's Parable of the Tribes. Finally, arguing that this demonic consciousness now exists most powerfully in the USA, I suggest that a preeminent manifestation of it in our time was 9/11, orchestrated by the Bush-Cheney administration. In making this latter argument, I will draw on my two books on the subject: The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions.

Goal: To show the possibility of a view of demonic evil that is realistic - doing justice to the way in which our collective lives are dominated by values that can only be called demonic - without being mythological.

Learning Objectives:

  • To develop a basic understanding of how Whitehead's version of theism allows for the rise of demonic evil,
  • To develop a sense of how the ideas of Schmookler and Jung can explain the historical rise of demonic evil, and
  • To develop a deeper appreciation of the relation between 9/11 and the American Empire.

Presenter Bio: David Ray Griffin is Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Theology at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University. He is codirector of the Center for Process Studies.

In 1996, he was chosen as one of some 60 theologians worldwide to be included in the Handbook of Christian Theologians. His 27 books include God, Power, and Evil; Process Theology; The Reenchantment of Science: Postmodern Proposals; God and Religion in the Postmodern World; Evil Revisited; Postmodern Politics for a Planet in Crisis; Unsnarling the World-Knot: Consciousness, Freedom, and the Mind-Body Problem; Religion and Scientific Naturalism: Overcoming the Conflicts; Reenchantment without Supernaturalism: A Process Philosophy of Religion; The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11; Two Great Truths: A New Synthesis of Scientific Naturalism and Christian Faith; The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, and Deep Religious Pluralism. He has also published over 150 essays.

Through his two books about 9/11, he has become one of the intellectual leaders of the 9/11 truth movement. Some essays (including The 9/11 Commission Report: A 576-Page Lie) and DVD lectures (including one carried on C-SPAN) are available at 9-11 Visibility Project.

Face to Face with Interdimensional Consciousness: Adventures in How to Die and Survive - Part II
Angela Browne-Miller, PhD

This exciting presentation takes you on an unforgettable eye-opening journey. Angela explores and bridges modern and ancient consciousness technologies, applying these to the treatment of personal and societal spiritual, psychological, and physical issues. She clearly demonstrates the analytic and professional structures essential in moving inter-dimensional thinking deep into mainstream intellectual realms -- and deep into the consciousness. Demonstrations involving the consciousness technology steps or LEAPS that Angela developed brings you face to face with the inter-dimensional aspects of learning, healing, expansion, birth and death, and all change. Angela provides an in-depth look at the relationship between psychological and physical states, and suggests the alchemy of spirit so necessary to profound transitions and healings. The generation of shifts in mental, spiritual and physical states is addressed using the model of death as the unifying and catalytic metaphor. Angela explains that interdimensional thinking and experiencing must be enhanced for individuals and the species to take the next big step in personal and group evolution.


Presenter Bio: Angela brings to her interdisciplinary and inter-dimensional work three decades of experience in education, business, religion, psychology, and social work. She has served as a National Institute of Mental Health Post-Doctoral Fellow, a Presidential Management Intern, and is the author of over a dozen books, including How To Die And Survive.
