    Uncovering Innate Mental Health with Dr. Bill Pettit
    Sep 22 2020
    Uncovering Innate Mental Health Dr. Bill Pettit has been a student of medicine, psychiatry, physiology and neuroscience for over 50 years. In this illuminating conversation, he points to the simplicity of how our human design works and shares the universal principles that are operating in the background of your life.  Bill leans into the wisdom of Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, and Sydney Banks as he shares a fresh understanding of mental health and peace of mind. In over 800 hours of training to become a psychiatrist, Bill never received one lecture on mental health, just mental illness.  This podcast episode will give you renewed hope and awaken your natural state of mental health and well being. Transcend the limits of the cultural beliefs of materialism and duality.  Connect with Dr. Bill Pettit and Learn More about his Upcoming Course Bill and Linda Pettit's website One Cause One Cure Programs:  Course #2 - Defining, Recognizing, and Awakening Mental Health and Well Being - a 12 week guided exploration.

Books and Resources for Innate Mental Health Syd Banks lecture series My Guide Inside - curriculum for children Prefer to Read? Transcript Coming Soon Episode Highlights 2:30 - Bill started his career in psychiatry looking for peace of mind and hoping to be less reactive to life's circumstances. For the first 41 years of his life, he believed that his reactions where caused by people and events.  5:00 - Bill grew up with a God that scared the poop out him. Learn how he has explored the beliefs he inherited and has evolved his view of God and Infinite intelligence. Everybody's "starter kit" is different and told it is the "truth". 7:50 - How the stress Bill created led him to feel like a failure. He left psychiatry because he didn't see people getting peace of mind and he saw the tremendous side effects of the medications.  12:10 - Bill shares that in the 800-1000 hours of lecture and instruction he had to become a board-certified psychiatrist there was no mention of mental health.  14:00 - In 1983, Bill met Sydney Banks and saw that he knew more about mental health than anyone he had met. Syd Banks spoke to him at a place where truth resides within all of us.  15:20 - Bill had been struggling with depression for 21 years and saw 6 psychiatrists that helped him from being hospitalized but never guided him to peace of mind. He used to think that his mental health struggles were hereditary until he discovered he was never broken and not lacking anything.  16:40 - Bill shares that he was spending a great deal of his day in negative thinking and being constantly driven to prove himself worthy. As little as 3 minutes of negative thinking creates a chemical imbalance in the brain.  17:50 - There is a wisdom beyond the intellect that guides us in every moment.  19:00 - Syd Banks saw that God is not a judgmental entity, it is Intelligent Energy. 19:50 - Listen for an amazing quote by Albert Einstein that shows he was a deeply religious man. He starts, "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious..." 25:50 - Carl Jung said, "Man will NEVER relieve his suffering by his own thinking but only by revelations of a wisdom beyond his intellect." If he would have seen the principles behind this, he wouldn't have recommended 1,000 hours of Jungian analysis. 27:53 - If you aren't any closer to the solution after 2-3 minutes of analysis, you won't be any closer in 20-30 years. 31:00 - We live in this illusion of duality. When we forget that we are spiritual energy in human form, we get scared and try to control life.  38:40 - How free will leads us to either listen to our spiritual guidance or believe our thinking. Nobody wants to die righteously miserable. Everyone wants to live in peace. Many people have given up hope that this is possible. Once hope is given, resistance melts away.

  • Real School Choice with Unschooling School

    Real School Choice with Unschooling School
    Sep 1 2020
    Show Overview What does real school choice look like? Creating a school within a school for free learners. Heather MacTaggart has been working to change the education system in Canada for 23 years. She has attracted a team of educators with a combined experience of 229 years in education to expand the Unschooling School movement around the world.  Join the Unschooling School movement as a parent, learner, or educator.  The invitation is for learners to become Free Learners by creating an individual education plan (IEP) that declares they are a free learner. Free Learners utilize the resources and facilities of their local public school as it fits with their IEP and opt out of classes that they are not interested in.  Unschooling School invites educators to become Responsible Subversives by supporting Free Learners. Wha Connect with Heather and Join the Unschooling School Movement Unschooling School website for creating real school choice within your community. For families in the United States, connect with Carl Rust.  Prefer to Read?

Why don't we use the resources found in schools to serve kids? We are in charge and we are going to insist that the public resources be used for the good of kids. 2:40 - We have bought a lot of beliefs that are just nonsense.  3:10 - Schooling as a process of colonization of people and the mind. All of the structures are self-reinforcing and have been used by dominating cultures to colonize groups of people - dividing kids by age groups, you have to do the same thing at the same time, and there is a set of information that you need to know to thrive.  5:10 - How Heather has tried everything to change the education system.  6:15 - We need to educated kids, and include indigenous people, in a way that doesn't kill their creativity and ingenuity.  7:00 - Most people don't know anything about self-directed education and the alternatives that are available. Trying to change the system using a network of independent schools is too slow, it will take over 100 years.  8:38 - Unschooling School tells kids and parents, "This is your system. You pay for it." Educate yourself about self-directed education to learn that there is a better way. By becoming a Free Learner, you can educate yourself within the system. Heather invites all kids to create a Free Learner Plan (an I.E.P. for free learners).  10:50 - With freedom comes tremendous responsibility.  11:42 - Unschooling School provides resources and direct access to Heather and her team to walk you through the process of creating a Free Learning school within a school. 14:20 - Do you really need a high school diploma? Unschooling School offers a free learner diploma that is more rigorous than a standard high school diploma. It requires a young person to know what is next and what they need. Heather shares there are eleven different ways to get into college without a high school diploma.  16:50 - Everyone blames everyone else in the school system. High schools blames universities. Universities blame high schools.  17:10 - Education for the 6 Cs: creativity, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, compassion, community.  19:20 - We are biologically born to educate ourselves and driven to succeed in the society we're born into. We just need the environment and tools to do this. We need schools to start serving kids.  20:20 - For kids entering elementary schools now, 62% will be doing jobs that don't exist. So how can we use curriculum?
