What’s your favorite question?
What are you passionate about? It’s such a telling question. So much about us is defined by what we care enough for to live, fight and die for. And for me? Evolutionary unfolding.

Who would you most like to connect with?
I would love to connect with more people interested in Integral, Zaadz and the things these communities are exploring. I have some wonderful friends, but few who are engaged in evolution to the extent I hope to be, and I do believe we should connect with the people we most want to become like.

Where do you get your ideas?
Ideas are endless. Every day I pour through hundreds of articles on various topics, am inspired by rare people and have experiences that provide a fountain of ideas. Ideas are the easy part, the realization of them is the real adventure.

What is real to you?
Something is real for me if it can be experienced. This doesn’t mean that I have experienced it, just that it has been experienced. So I believe that spiritual, mental and physical truths are real, though interpreted in various ways, some less right than others. The best method we have of showing something to be real is experimentation, and this can be done in every realm.

What would you like to remind others of?
I would like to remind all of us of the incredible responsibility we have to evolve. The unprecidented challenges we face require us to grow and radically change in order to move beyond them. As Einstein said, “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” This includes technological, personal, cultural and social advances that we must consciously explore and embrace. Too often we are complacent and concerned with trivial matters in our lives when the great challenge lies before us and demands our courage and conviction.

What do you need to be reminded of?
I’m feeling right now that I need to be reminded of my connection with the people I love. I spent time with my family this weekend at my sister Ilea’s wedding, but there are many others I love that I haven’t been in contact with as often as would be best.

How are you going to change the world today?
I’m going to cut down obstacles that are in the way of giving myself in service to the world. I’ll be clearing away tasks and objects cluttering up my life so that I can have the freedom to be more fully engaged in the growth and work I have before me.
