WE Earth Radio: Conversations That Make A Difference with Michael Stone and Guests

Robert Ornstein, considered one of the foremost experts on the brain, was an internationally renowned psychologist and author of more than 20 books on the nature of the human mind and brain and their relationship to thought, health, and individual and social consciousness. He was perhaps best known for his pioneering research on the bilateral specialization of the brain, continually emphasizing the necessity of “conscious evolution” to meet the challenges of the 21st century. He taught at Stanford University, Harvard University, and the University of California, San Francisco. His books have sold over six million copies worldwide, have been translated into dozens of languages, and used in more than 20,000 university classes. He founded the Institute for the Study of Human Knowledge (ISHK) in 1969 and served as its president until his death in December of 2018.

'This was the first book we planned and wrote together. Now that Bob is no longer with us, I am privileged to see it come to light as he had wished and I had promised.' ~Sally Ornstein

Adi Da Samraj, was an American spiritual teacher, writer, and artist. He was the founder of a new religious movement known as Adidam. Adi Da initially became known in the spiritual counterculture of the 1970s for his books and public talks, and for the activities of his religious community. His philosophy was essentially similar to many eastern religions which see spiritual enlightenment as the ultimate priority of human life.
Adi Da wrote many books about his spiritual philosophy and related matters, founding a publishing house to print them. Today we are going to have a conversation with one of his senior students, Leo Burke.

Leo Burke is Professor and Director of the Global Commons Initiative at the Mendoza College of Business, the University of Notre Dame. In this capacity, he teaches courses on the commons to undergraduates, MBAs and Executive MBAs. From December 2000 through June 2008, he served as Associate Dean and Director of Executive Education. Prior to joining Notre Dame, Burke served in a variety of roles at Motorola, Inc., including Director and Dean of the College of Leadership and Transcultural Studies within Motorola University. He was a founding member of philosopher Ken Wilber’s Integral Institute.

In 2009 he co-founded, with Carolyn Lee and Kathy Skerritt, the Anthroposphere Institute (www.a-institute.org), an educational organization that champions the global commons through courses and action-learning initiatives. Fundamental to the work of the Anthroposphere Institute is an understanding that the commons is fundamentally an expression of prior unity or the a priori indivisibility of all life.
