- 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 current leader of Integral Sedona, and the driving force behind the newly emerging iP2Pi network (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?
- 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)...

Reporting by Maggie Fox, editing by Will Dunham and Todd Eastham
Reuters
March 20, 2008
WASHINGTON - Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else, researchers reported on Thursday.
Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School f… Continue
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

in muddy waters
they panic

trying to settle the mud

Since fish can't breath mud,
foolish fish
live short lives.
When wise fish

they calmly control themselves

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
But I just went back to the homepage, and it loads a lot faster...did you tweak it? I haven't changed computers or programs...just wondering...
Also, wanted to turn you on to a young man named David Wilcock...his website is at www.divinecosmos.com and if you get a chance in your busy life, do read the three amazing books he has written there (that he's now turning into movies)...investigations into science and metaphysics around the globe that we in the west almost never hear about, plus the insertion of his own comprehensive intellect...quite a tour de force...
This is the young man who some believe to be the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce, and the book written about this is pretty convincing...He certainly shows the wisdom and amazing psychic talent of ole Edgar...and feels he is here to express an earlier incarnation of Cayce from ancient Egypt...the Atlantean priest Ra-Ta, who helped build the great pyramids...It all sounds pretty far out, but isn't once you read the info about it all...I've been following him for some years now, and he is consistent in his philosophy, expression and effectiveness. The book is "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce" by Wynn Free. I found the last half of the book to be most inspirational and informative about the upcoming 2012 period...
And another great site to nosh around in is www.projectcamelot.com These folks are videotaping some of the most deeply inbedded people from the UFO movement (which I am not a huge participant in, just to let you know), and others who are just plain remarkable, such as the above-mentioned David Wilcock and a Russian boy, Boriska, who is a good example of the new children, etc.
And I met and roomed with PMH Atwater some years ago when we were both speakers in Montreal at a big conference, and we've remained friends ever since...just had the pleasure of being with her again here in my town last summer where she gave a couple of dynamite speeches...a strong, wise and wonderful woman!
And of course you would like John Denver, Lorena MacKennitt, and Brother Sun, Sister Moon, LOTR, and Battlestar Gallactica! Doesn't everybody???
Since you live in Sedona, I'm sure you've met and heard David Hawkins, one of my faves...Wish I lived nearby...as a minister, we could go into biz together!
Just wanted to catch up and say thanks for this community...I know it takes a LOT to handle every day...keep it up...
Much affection and many blessings,
Lia
