MP3 Download

The deepening of personal transformation is an ongoing act of self-discovery and we're standing on the shoulders of the many pioneers in the study of the astonishing capacities of the human mind and spirit. One such pioneer is the late Joseph Chilton Pearce, whose work has encompassed many decades of extensive research and inquiry. Michael Mendizza enjoyed a deep friendship with Joe that spanned nearly 30 years. He’s pieced together seven of Joe's most influential books and shares insights on his work from child development and conscious parenting to psychic phenomena, altered states and the power of the mind to shape reality. This is a tour of personal awakening to the impressive human capacities as well as self-inflicted limitations. The wisdom, key insights, and genius of this pioneer of consciousness, Joseph Chilton Pearce, are uncovered in this lively dialogue. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
