Dr. Ron Stotts: The Creativity Crisis

The greatest minds throughout history agree that everything we create begins with imagination. We are currently in crisis — financial, environmental, health, relational, and spiritual — which indicates just how disconnected we have become from our inspired imagination.

What keeps us shut off from our innate creative abilities? Is there a way to bypass the gatekeepers of our brain? Dr. Ron Stotts will present you with the keys to unlock those gates and access your creative genius.

Great Legacy Poem – The Journey by Emily Dickinson


Our journey had advanced;
Our feet were almost come
To that odd fork in Being’s road,
Eternity by term.

Our pace took sudden awe,
Our feet reluctant led.
Before were cities, but between,
The forest of the dead.

Retreat was out of hope, –
Behind, a sealed route,
Eternity’s white flag before,
And God at every gate.

Emily Dickinson

 

Great Legacy Poem – My Brothers Funeral…The End by Lee Stedman


There is one more thing you have to do for me…
Hey, you can’t keep me from getting drunk…
I need this drink, and you know it true,
In this love, that I leave for you,
Where do you think we are…?
We are at your brother’s funeral…
You have to do something for me…
You so…have to forgive yourself…
Forgive yourself… for the person who you are…
And believe in the life, that you have become…
For you are a good person…
Who I wish I had so become…
But in the end, the most important thing to except is…
That… as so alone you might feel,
And how painful it may be,
With the help of those around you,
You will get through this to,
This much…I believe in you,
And you know…In god that I trust…it’s true…
I give this day that I leave to you…
As you know… that I’m so blue…
As today…we will bury you…

Lee Stedman

 

Great Legacy Poem – Footprints in the Sand – Mary Stevenson


Footprints in the Sand- Mary Stevenson

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,other times there were one set of footprints. 

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints.           

So I said to the Lord, “You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always.                   

But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one   set of footprints in the sand.                                           

Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”                                  

The Lord replied, “The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you.”

To learn more about The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom, click here.

Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and other great teachers were born with brains built essentially like anyone else’s. Then they used their minds to change their brains in ways that changed history.

With the new breakthroughs in neuroscience, combined with the insights from thousands of years of contemplative practice, you, too, can shape your own brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom.

Buddha’s Brain joins the forces of modern science with ancient teachings to show readers how to have greater emotional balance in turbulent times, as well as healthier relationships, more effective actions, and a deeper religious or spiritual practice.

Well-referenced and grounded in science, the book is full of practical tools and skills readers can use in daily life to tap the unused potential of the brain and rewire it over time for greater peace and well-being.

If you can change your brain, you can change your life.
