NEW PARADIGMS FOR A NEW WORLD...

To bring as many different points of view, from around the circle, into your view, to assist you in expanding your life and living. To assist in the positive evolution of mankind and bringing about a greater awareness of self and others in order to create the kind of world YOU want. A world in which we all can search for, find and fulfill our 'first best destiny'.

GIVING YOU CHOICES AND KNOWLEDGE OF THOSE CHOICES TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE...

You deserve to know 'the truth' about who you are, because that 'truth will set you free'. Knowing your past is fine. Knowing who you are now is greater. And knowing who you want to be and how to bring about that transformation is what 'Tell Me Your Story' is about.
THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO GAIN...IS...THE NEW WORLD YOU WANT!

Since 2007, we've been producing TMYS, available at richarddugan.com/radioshow.

My dream is to syndicate 'Tell MeYourStory' and take it on the road. Traveling to all parts of the world, talking with people who are living, working and playing in new ways that are changing the world, one person at a time.

I have been interviewing for over 30 years, talking with thousands of; authors, musicians, light workers, metaphysicians, spiritualists, co-creators, body, mind and light workers, new thought people, visionaries, revolutionaries, inovators.

We all have a story and mine is no greater or lesser than yours. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I was legally blind from birth. In spite or because of that, I went through 13 years of school not knowing what I wanted to do and so I went to Communtiy College and worked in the AV Department. I found out about a job with 'Sun Sounds' Radio Reading Service, for the blind and visually impaired. I not only became a client, I started working there August 29, 1979 and never “looked” back.

On March 6, 1996, I received a lens implant and went from 20/200 or worse to 20/80 overnight. Within just a few months, I was learning to drive a car. A dream I had given up in acceptance of the way I was, legally blind. And that was 'ok'. Bicycling was just fine for me. Then my marriage of 15 years came to an end and I met Amrita Ma. We married and moved to her home town of Santa Barbara and we both started a new life 5 minutes for her childhood home.

We've been to Ireland twice and dream of living there one day very soon.

I dreamed I would drive, travel to far away places, share the love with someone with a very open, loving heart, live by the sea, have my own radio show, teach others my craft, meet new and exciting souls. I am working on 2 books and more.

What are your dreams?........

I will share more thoughts later. RD

    Christine Woodside - Going Over the Mountain

    Christine Woodside - Going Over the Mountain

    Author Website: www.chriswoodside.com
    Social Media: Linkedin | IGChristine Woodside, accomplished writer, historian, and editor, and her latest book, "Going Over the Mountain: One Woman's Journey from Follower to Solo Hiker and Back," published by Appalachian Mountain Club Books on September 12, 2023.

    In "Going Over the Mountain," Christine Woodside invites your audience into her transformative journey from follower to solo hiker and back again. Her story begins in her twenties, when she initially embarked on outdoor adventures at the behest of friends and a significant other. What started as a casual interest evolved into a profound passion as she traversed the Appalachian Trail with her husband and friends, delving deeper into the wilderness with each step. As Chris navigated the rugged terrain, she not only discovered her capabilities as an outdoorswoman but also unearthed profound insights into herself as a mother and a woman. With each expedition, she gleaned lessons that transcended the confines of the wilderness, shaping her personal and professional identity in unexpected ways.

    "Going Over the Mountain" is more than a tale of outdoor exploration—it's a narrative of self-discovery, resilience, and the power of solitude. Through her candid storytelling, Christine Woodside illuminates the transformative power of nature and the profound impact it can have on one's sense of self and purpose.

    About the Author: Christine Woodside is a distinguished writer, historian, and editor known for her insightful contributions to the literary world. As the editor of Appalachia journal and the author/editor of several acclaimed books, including "No Limits But the Sky" and "Libertarians on the Prairie," she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her craft. Christine resides in Deep River, Connecticut, where she continues to inspire your audience with her captivating narratives.

    We believe that Christine's story will resonate deeply with your audience, offering a captivating glimpse into the transformative power of nature and self-discovery. We would be delighted to arrange an interview with Christine or provide review copies of "Going Over the Mountain" for your consideration.

    To facilitate your interview with Christine Woodside, here are ten compelling questions to explore her book and journey:

    What inspired you to embark on your outdoor journey, and how did it evolve over time?
    Can you share a pivotal moment from your expeditions that shaped your perspective on self-discovery and resilience?
    How did your experiences as a mother influence your approach to outdoor exploration and adventure?
    In "Going Over the Mountain," you discuss the concept of "rough-hewn, grubby feminism." Could you elaborate on this and its significance in your journey?
    What challenges did you encounter as a solo hiker, and how did you navigate them?
    How do you believe your experiences in the wilderness have changed you personally and professionally?
    Can you share a particularly memorable encounter or experience from your time on the Appalachian Trail?
    What advice would you offer to aspiring solo hikers or outdoor enthusiasts based on your experiences?
    How do you balance the solitude of outdoor exploration with your responsibilities and connections in everyday life?
    What do you hope our audience will take away from "Going Over the Mountain," and what impact do you a

These are brain processes, and Brain-centric Design is the framework you apply for how the brain processes information in a way people love to learn, communicate and thrive.

    Peter Wright - Exploring past life and self discovery

    Peter Wright - Exploring past life and self discovery

    Robert – the Analytical Client Who Did Not Believe in God

    Introduction

    I'd like to focus today on a recent client who has given me permission to share the highlights of our recent session. I’ve changed his name to ensure anonymity.

    Robert is a former attorney who is Jewish. He described himself as very analytical. He told me that he had never believed in the Afterlife and he had no belief in God.

    The Presenting Issues for Robert

    Robert is 81 years old and is very much aware of his mortality. Since he did not believe in God, he wanted proof that his Soul will continue after he physically dies.

    Robert also hoped to find out why growing up he had had such a terrible relationship with his parents -- especially with his Dad. Both parents had died long ago.

    In addition, Robert was curious about a dream that he had had numerous times. In this dream, he was trying to get home or get someplace. “I'm lost and can't find my way and people won't help me.”

    During this session, we released the childhood trauma from his Dad and helped Robert know that his Soul will continue after he physically dies.

    PeterWright’s Podcast Notes
    OnIan Stevenson’s Past Life Research

    Dr.Ian Stevenson


    Dr. Ian Stevenson was a University of Virginia Professor and psychiatrist who spent 40 years scientifically verifying the past life memories of more than 2,000 children between the ages of 2 and 7.

    Each of these young children believed that they remembered their most recent past life.

    Stevenson’sResearch Method


    His approach to reincarnation was unique.

    Dr. Stevenson’s used his skills as a detective, an investigative reporter and a social scientist.

    He methodically tracked down and interviewed firsthand eyewitnesses who personally knew a child who had memories of being part of a particular family in a past life.

    These children typically began talking about this previous lifetime when they were two or three years old and stopped talking about the past life by the age of six or seven.

    From his research, he confirmed that we tend to lose our memories of past lifetimes after the age of 7.

    Dr. Stevenson paid special attention to statements the child had made about that past-life family.
    Then -- using a scientific method -- he located the family of the individual who had died and been reincarnated as that child.

    Professor Stevenson would then take the child to meet with the family members and find out how much the child remembered about his or her life with that family before he or she had died.

    Shore up your highest weaknesses and create a plan to seize your biggest opportunities

    Address key decisions by providing mentoring and resources at pivot points like hiring a company president, contacts for key expense areas like acquisitions, or compensation programs.

    Brit Elders - UFO contact from the Pleiades

    Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brit-elders-1868042b/

    Book description-
    For the first time—forty-five years after their original publication—the two photo-journal volumes of UFO…Contact from the Pleiades are combined in one book for a modern audience, with a new foreword written by Shirley MacLaine, a prologue written by Mexican UFOlogist Jamie Maussan, and a new introduction and preface written by Brit Elders.

    This photo-journal presents the unique contact case of a Swiss farmer, Billy Meier, who claims to have met with the Pleiadians hundreds of times, compiling many layers of evidence including notes on their conversations, hundreds of photographs, movie footage, audio recordings of the craft, landing tracks of the spaceships, dozens of witnesses, and even metal samples of the craft itself. The quality and amount of evidence was convincing, making this unlike any case previously seen.

    UFO…Contact from the Pleiades takes the reader back to a time before home computers, digital photography and easily accessible photo enhancement programs. Yet the evidence—analyzed in laboratories around the world—could not be easily dismissed and supported the claims of the contactee, Billy Meier. The breath taking images, profound words of the Pleiadians, and the extensive investigation that spanned seven years are as relevant today as they were forty-five years ago.

    Author Bio:
    Brit Elders is an investigative author and documentary filmmaker who traveled the world exploring a variety of topics including the mysterious world of UFOs. She has participated in several in-depth investigations, including the Billy Meier case and the waves of UFO sightings in Mexico, which began in 1991 and continue today. The CEO of ShirleyMacLaine.com, Brit continues to research and write for herself and others.

    Suggested Interview questions:

    Why did you get involved with this case?
    What makes the Pleiadian case so unique?
    How long did the investigation last?
    What were some of the most important aspects for you?
    When the Pleiadians met with Meier, how did they communicate?
    This case is steeped in controversy. How do you react when someone says it’s not real?
    After 45 years do you find the books are still relevant? Why?
    Have you spoken with Meier recently?
    Why do you feel it is important to re-release the books now?
    Do you think extraterrestrial civilizations visited our planet in the past?
    Do you think off-world visitors only come from the Pleiades or many different areas of the universe?
    Have you looked into abduction cases? What are your thoughts about them?
    What do you think of the government’s release of UAP material?
    While you were actively involved in the Pleiadian case, did you ever have problems with what you thought might be government interference?
    How do you think the public views UFOs and UAPs and the possibility of visitations?
    What are your personal thoughts about extraterrestrial life visiting Earth?
    Have you ever seen a craft?
    Do you believe every case is real?
    If someone sees an object or films one, what should they do?
    What is the public value of all of the information coming out now?
    What do you hope to see in the future for the subject?

    UFO…Contact from the Pleiades Vol I & II combined
    For the first time—forty-five years after their original publication—the two photo-journal volumes of UFO…Contact from the Pleiades are combined in one book for a modern audience, with a new foreword written by Shirley MacLaine, a prologue written by Mexican journalist Jamie Maussan, and a new introduction and preface written by Brit Elders.
