I call myself a paradigm-shifter, metaphysical synthesizer and integrator of world views that point to the glory of Creation.

Alice and the Quantum Cat is the new anthology drawn from Lewis Carroll's Lost Quantum Diaries published in German and Japanese at the hinge of the millennium. The creation was a thought experiment to see if a team of the leading popularizers of quantum reality could convey the most complex and accurate physical theory ever describing the unseen order of the universe without math in a way that would be tangible for the non-scientist and inspire "children of all ages." Dianne Collins, Fred Alan Wolf and I created the concept, and I'm thrilled that Nick Herbert agreed to be science editor and contributors Amit Goswami, Danah Zohar, David Peat, John Briggs, Beverly Rubik, Brian Swimme, Jean Houston and Peter Russell were willing to play. Besides studying at the feet of these leading figures of the new physics, Marilyn Ferguson, Arthur Young and "Lewis Carroll" were also strong influences.

From this work I recognized that scarcity is not a fundamental characteristic of reality but of man's thinking. This insight has led to the development of an internet-based gifts and wishes pool, a gift economy, designed to circulate abundant human capital without money. GiveGetShare.net will be launching in the Fall of 2011.

My documentary film, The Made-for-TV Election (1986), hosted by Martin Sheen, revealed for the first time how commercial TV creates winners and losers in US presidential elections by its casting of candidates in a drama of its own making.

For the past four years I've been working on a docudrama, America's Divine Comedy, a reprise of Dante's trek though the Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise that exposes an ontological lineage that has been responsible for manifesting the most significant mass events of the past 700 years. Today that same "dynasty of death" is destroying the nation state and the middle class through structures of sin and madness. From the Inferno, the project unfolds a program for national restoration that is coherent with man's highest aspirations and the rapidly unfolding new future, I call, The Age of Infinity. Historian, author and lecturer Webster Tarpley has shown me the way, and we hope to have a book, as well as the film, ready in the Spring of 2012.

In the meantime, my very best wishes to you in manifesting your own dreams and visions of paradise!
