- About Me:
- I'm the president and founder of NHNE (NewHeavenNewEarth), the organization that hosts this social network. For general information about me, there are few tools better than Google. For more personal and specific information, NHNE contains a wealth of information about me, my life experiences, and ever-changing beliefs and perspectives. I'm interested in everything having to do with life's big questions: Who are we? Where are we from? Why are we here? Where are we headed? I'm also interested in everything having to do with human beings and human relationships; planet Earth, especially how we are going to clean up the mess we have made of this beautiful planet; and learning everything I can about the insights and life experiences of others.
Along with shepherding NHNE, I'm also the driving force behind several integral networks, including Integral Rising (see below for links).

- What do you do to make a living?
- I currently make a living as a professional photographer. You can find links to a couple of my photography websites and my photography blog listed above.
- What kind of hobbies do you have?
- I love hiking, watching good movies, spending time with my kids, spending time with friends, traveling, basketball and other sports.
- In a world where you were pursuing your deepest, most heartfelt callings, what would you be doing?
- What I am doing now: Spearheading NHNE, doing what I can to help others understand and anchor the integral impulse in their personal lives and communities, photography, spending time with family and friends.
- What is the most important thing you have learned in your life?
- See "Three Epiphanies"
- Describe a belief that you previously held and then subsequently changed. What caused you to change your mind?
- I've had to abandon so many cherished beliefs, that it's hard to know where to begin. But two rush to mind: 1. A belief that the earth changes described in the Edgar Cayce readings were imminent (I've since come to believe that while the spirit of Cayce's predictions were accurate -- take a look at all the earth changes currently underway -- the specifics, including the world views that created them, were grievously wrong); 2. That Jesus almost certainly is not the be all and end all that many believe him to be. What changed my mind? New information, life experience, and half-baked beliefs not delivering on what they promised (see "Three Epiphanies").
- Who do you admire most in the world (past and/or present) and why?
- My grandfather, because he was the kindest, most loving person I have known. Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Socrates, The Dalai Lama, Ken Wilber, Edgar Cayce, Martin Luther King, Martin Luther, George Fox, Joan of Arc, Gandhi... Essentially, folks who challenge convention (and reality) with ideas, experiences, and actions that cause the world, and humankind, to become deeper, better, fuller, more conscious of themselves and their place in the universe.
- At this turbulent moment in history, what do you think is the most important thing a person can do to help humankind (and the rest of the planet) survive the many dangers that confront us?
- Discover what you're purpose in life is, and be it, do it. Strive to be a healthy, whole, well-balanced, integrated person. Work on your shadow issues. Take care of the people Spirit brings into your life. Seek to be aligned with your deepest Self and follow, bravely, wherever Spirit leads. Pay attention to your dreams. Seek the advice of those you trust -- and also those you don't trust, who probably see things you don't. Seek to be as conscious as possible -- aware of all the forces within and without that are pulling your strings. Be willing to make mistakes and admit you are wrong. Also be willing to be right, graciously, remembering there is always more going on than you are aware of and you're turn to be wrong again is just around the corner.
- What are your answers to the big questions: Who are we? Where are we from? Why are we here? Where are we headed?
- See "Three Epiphanies"
- Why did you decide to join this community?
- God told me to (or at least I think it was God)...

The Hopping Stone Vision
By David Sunfellow
Winter, 1995
Sedona, Arizona
Deep in the southwest deserts, an old medicine man and young brave stand atop a great plateau. Together they silently survey all the Earth.
After what seems like ages of absorbing all that can be seen, the old man taps his medicine stick on the ground. From twelve different directions great streaks of lightning strike the Earth, and from each place the lightning strikes, twelve great stones begin to form. As the stone… Continue

Muddy Pools & Foolish Fish
Muddy Pools & Foolish Fish
By David Sunfellow
When foolish fish
find themselves
in muddy waters
they panic
and splash to and fro
trying to settle the mud
themselves.
Since fish can't breath mud,
foolish fish
live short lives.
When wise fish
find themselves
in muddy waters
they calmly control themselves
and float
and wait for the mud
to settle itself.

Me too! And I always wonder why the realm of spirituality seems to be the only one in which we tolerate this from our teachers. I wouldn't take Algebra from someone who doesn't know their multiplication tables. And the other thing too, David, is we ask more of BOY SCOUTS than we do these people. It's not like it is that hard to not be a drunk, a bitch, or a womanizer. I'm not asking for a verbuti sample here. After 8 years of this being one of my major forgiveness lessons, considering what I am projecting onto these teachers, etc., the only heart felt conclusion I can come to is I deserve better than that. I wrote to Jon Mundy yesterday too (it was my day to finally just set this all aside), and he was a real sweetie and very generous. I had wanted to see his original article opening a dialog with Renard (which has been removed from Mundy's site). Ironically, he referred me to NHNE! Ha! I'm already here. Delete Comment
