Author William Halal PHD offers up his uniquely powerful perspective on how to understand our world…
Beyond Knowledge Lies the Triumph of Human Spirit. The Knowledge Age of the past two decades is passing today as the digital revolution and artificial intelligence replace knowledge work. Halal’s study of social evolution explains how this marks the passage to a new frontier beyond the knowledge that is poorly understood – an “Age of Consciousness” is here. But more pandemics, climate change, gross inequality, gridlock, and other threats form a “Crisis of Maturity” that is blocking this historic transformation.
This book provides a wealth of evidence and leading examples of an emerging “global consciousness” now driving the world to grow up, resolve this global crisis and develop a sustainable world order – or perish. With foresight and hard work, we could see the triumph of the human spirit, once again.
At the heart of Mr. Halal’s book are 3 principles discussed at length within:
1. Why Consciousness is Today’s Next Step in Social Evolution 2. What is the Crisis of Global Maturity 3. How Mental/Spiritual Revolution is Likely
William Halal is a seasoned educator and expert with extensive writing, multiple awards, and other credentials and is available to speak on a myriad of issues affecting us today including the recent Facebook shut down, how media messaging is impacting the average citizen’s opinion of the world and his work as a futurist in predicting major global events including the pandemic.
Halal is Professor Emeritus at George Washington University, Washington, DC, with degrees from Purdue and UC Berkeley. Prof. Halal has published 7 books and hundreds of articles, consults to corporations and governments, and is a frequent speaker, once substituting for Peter Drucker. Bill also served as a major in the US Air Force, an aerospace engineer on the Apollo Program and a business manager in Silicon Valley. He received the 1977 Mitchell Prize ($10,000) for his article “Beyond the Profit-Motive,” and another article, “Through the MegaCrisis,” was awarded Outstanding Paper of 2013. Halal was cited by the Encyclopedia of the Future as one of the top 100 futurists in the world.
Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Duane Light, on air from November 16th
The Problem Clients often come to me with so much anxiety, sadness or anger that they feel at a loss for what to do. They are often losing sleep, and experiencing negative impacts on their relationships, work, and joy in life. This is understandable, since an important life issue is at stake for them, and the legal system can be distressing and expensive. Over my 25+ years as a licensed, holistic attorney, and training as a coach and meditation teacher, I’ve learned and developed essential tools that help my clients to become more calm, clear and courageous so they can more effectively navigate their legal issues. I’ve handled most types of legal cases, and have done dozens of mediations, arbitrations, negotiations and trials. I’ve seen witnesses, and sometimes clients, not follow the principles outlined in these tools, and end up making their cases costlier, longer and more stressful. Here are the 5 tools: 1 Graciously Pause 2 Compassionately Move Through Your Emotions 3 Re-Vision Your Legal Situation – People, Circumstance, and the Legal System 4 Gather Information / Meditate / Pray / Get Clear Guidance 5 Plan and Move Forward
Graciously Pause When our minds and hearts are racing, we can’t think straight or make good decisions. So, we first need to PAUSE. This means that when we are in any intense emotion – fear, anger, sadness, feeling lost and confused – we take a break from making decisions or taking actions. This Pause usually lasts at least one day, so we can “sleep on it” before making an important decision. Often three or more days are needed, so there’s time to calm emotions and connect to a more peaceful, enlightened place. My clients have successfully used meditation, contemplative prayer, movement, dance, yoga, nature, sacred reading, journaling, or talking it through with a spiritually oriented friend to find that place of quiet and stillness. It’s important to practice this, many times over, to retrain yourself from thinking you must do something right away. We often react quickly, such as send out a harsh email, as a way to get rid of the negative feeling, yet all we do is infuse a negative reaction into the situation and create an often-selfharming result.
Compassionately Move Through Your Emotions There are many effective methods to compassionately meet, be with, and eventually calm your emotions. This is not about stuffing, over-riding, denying or avoiding what you are feeling. In fact, these processes take some courage, a willingness to be real with ourselves. And you’ll need to invoke some strength and intention to delay at least for a while any response while in the heat of strong emotions. My suggestion is that you begin by connecting to your inner resource of peace, compassion and wisdom, however you define that. You might do this through meditation, prayer, reading sacred words, listening to sacred music, time in nature, a hot bath with candles and calming uplifting aromas – whatever works for you. This will provide some support for you before you dive in. Then I suggest that you gently feel into whatever feelings or emotions are arising (one at a time helps). Then there are processes for inner sensing, accepting, and perhaps dialoguing, to see, hear and feel what may be the source of the feeling. (My free meditation, below, can take you through an effective process). I’ve continuously found over many years of practice that once our wounded, fearful, angry or freezing parts are seen, felt, and heard in a loving way, they can relax. And we often receive an important understanding or message. The time for the emotions to calm may take minutes, a few hours, or a day or two or three. What is important is quality of the inner listening, with an approach of self-love and patience.
Re-Vision Your Legal Situation – People, Circumstances, and the Legal System When we are facing a difficult legal situation, our defenses can quickly arise. We criticize and feel angry toward or fearful of the other. These reactive defenses can lead to our injecting negative thoughts into the situation. And these usually lead to increased conflict, time, and stress.
So, Re-Visioning takes some more inner work – exploring what might be judgmental feelings inside. And, importantly, we continue to invoke our highest beliefs, values, and spiritual principles: Acceptance. Humility. Compassion. Empathy. Forgiveness. Trust in a Higher Wisdom, Love and Peace. If we can move toward seeing everyone as having a soul, a spirit, a Higher Self connected to the Divine, then we can feel more compassion for them. Gandhi did it. Jesus did it. Nelson Mandela did it. Martin Luther King, Jr. did it. And their actions changed the world. I’ve seen application of these qualities create great relief to my clients, and often create profound transformations in their cases. We can be that kind of example in the world—to those in the legal system, to our family, our friends, our community. What better place to live and represent the Divine within us? And this is so effective. If we are kind and respectful, even to someone who is angry, it tends to defuse the situation. We do the same inner work with our attitudes toward the difficult life circumstance we are facing. If we are having resistance to the way things currently are – with “should haves” and “could haves” and “I wish they wouldn’t” or “I wish they didn’t” or “why did they have to _,” then those can also generate more negative thoughts, words and actions, and unnecessary suffering for us and everyone around us. With this acceptance, not fighting reality, we are gifted a sense of peace. We are then able to proceed in a more balanced and effective way. The same holds true for our attitudes toward the legal system, judges and lawyers. I probably know more lawyer jokes than you do! (and many of them are deserved). However, if we walk into court with judgment, fear and anger toward the judge, the clerk, other attorneys and our “opponent,” not thinking we’ll be treated fairly, acting up-tight and defensive, let me tell you, that is not persuasive or effective! Imagine this instead – you walk into court like it’s your living room, nodding and smiling to the judge, the clerk, and even the other attorney and the person on the other side. You see through their external thoughts and actions to their souls, and you care for them on that deep level.
You’re relaxed, confident and friendly. I’ll tell you, when any of us raise ourselves up like this, it is a shock to the system! (in a good way). Courts are so often filled with people who are dishonest, manipulative and blaming, that when a “whole human” walks in – kind, fair and friendly – it is incredibly powerful. I’ve literally seen a light come into the courtroom when the words I and my client have spoken, calmly and truthfully, are borne out by the evidence. Most judges can see and feel who is telling the truth. It’s really a beautiful experience to see people in the courtroom affected by these expressions of truth and love. I’ve been in trials where, at some point, it becomes so obvious who is telling the truth that the judge and I look at each other, and I know the case is over! This is the experience that I deeply want for you.
Gather Information / Meditate /Pray / Get Clear Guidance Once you have worked with your emotions and attitudes, you will be better able to access that “still, quiet voice within.” You will have access to higher wisdom, higher truth, and more clear guidance on steps you can take to be as strong as needed, while also moving toward peaceful resolution. You are now ready to gather necessary information. That includes facts and evidence you may need for your case, and some understanding of the laws and procedures that apply. If you are representing yourself in your legal issue, then you should at minimum do some research online. I often recommend Nolo.com books for a good overview of law and procedure (they have books and materials on over 150 types of legal issues). Even if you have an attorney, it’s best for you to be more informed as a client. You might also consult more than one attorney, or people with experience or expertise in your type of issue (doctor, accountant, etc.). Some attorneys will act as your coach for you. For the meditation / prayer stage, one of my favorite spiritual teachers, Marinda Macpherson, counsels us to “come before God with empty hands.”
5, Plan and Move Forward
Only after we have attained some degree of inner calm and peace, compassionately met our emotions, re-visioned our attitudes and feelings about people, the situation and the legal system, and taken time to seek higher guidance, do we plan next steps and take action. Planning is best done on several levels, including: (a) The big picture. How do I want to BE in this situation? What kind of example do I want to set for my family, friends and community? (b) This specific life issue: What would be the highest outcome, on a soul/spirit and practical levels, for everyone involved? (c) The next significant stage in this process: This might be in the next month or three months. What is most important to focus on right now? What are reasonable goals? With my new approach of being compassionate, defusing tension, and raising the vibration, how can I reach out, how can I show some empathy, respect and care to everyone involved, while also being strong and taking care of myself? (d) The next week or two: What can I do on a personal level to ground these attitudes and practices of humility, respect, compassion, forgiveness, trust, and prayer or meditation? What can I do right now to begin to shift the energy and focus? Write an email or letter? Talk to my attorney about how I want to proceed, moving from “war” to “peace with strength?” Where can I find support from specific family members, friends, teachers or spiritual resources to help me ground more in this approach?
6. Peace in the Law 6 That means relaxing, even if temporarily, our judgments, criticisms, pain, anger, fears, plans, and whatever else is churning in heart and mind. We can then approach the Divine with empty hands, in humility, completely open to receive guidance. This also means letting rest, at least for this time, our preconceptions about what would be the best way forward or even the best outcome. If we believe that there is a higher truth or wisdom, then we need to “empty our cup” so it can be filled, and we can be guided. Humility, surrender, and trust serve us best here.
7. Peace in the Law 7 (e) Today: What can I do today to connect to my Inner Peace, compassionately meet my emotions, re-vision my legal situation, gather needed practical information and seek higher guidance, so I can effectively move forward? Rinse and Repeat! Make sure you keep cycling back through all 5 of these Skills for every major decision and action. The most important to train yourself in is the first part of Tool #1 – The GRACIOUS PAUSE – and then take time to find your Ground of Peace, Compassion, and Wisdom before taking any important action.

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 9th
We seek the love from the outside, until we realize it is within. We look to others to validate us, value us, when the only ones that can do that is you and your inner child. When we acknowledge that we have an injured child within us who is seeking to be enough and to just be loved, we can turn our eyes in to love nurture and heal that child with self love.
We have done many shows on self love and the importance of loving that inner child. Vincent Genna and Fatima Oliver and Dr. Karen Kan are some of the answers on air with us right now who helps heal that inner child and helps navigate us into relationships that really work, starting with the one with self.
You want to be loved, well, it starts with loving your self, and in that loving vibration you attract like loving vibe persons. The same goes for your lack of self love, attracting a needy person and someone who will hurt you. Why? because your healing starts at the very core of you, your inner child, the innocent who for some reason has not got the love they need and even scared by the lack of it.
So look into your inner child, hold them, speak to them softly, listen to them and let the healing begin, and let your self love exude from you as a loving vibration from an open self loving heart.
Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Fatima Oliver, on air from November 9th
Inspired by her personal accounts and scholarly background, Fatima passionately extracts her insight from the Psychodynamic theory, also known as psychoanalytic psychotherapy. This methodology helps clients to better understand their emotions and unconscious patterns of behavior. By talking through these emotions and behaviors, clients become more aware of themselves and feel more empowered to remove bad habits from their lives, while making better decisions for themselves.
At an early age, Fatima became emphatically convinced pain and family were synonymous. Living with the trauma from physical and sexual abuse, the loss of a child, abandonment issues, domestic violence, and horrible decision making, she walked around most of her life waiting for the world to compensate her for her pain and suffering.
Many of the hang-ups Fatima encountered daily, lead a painful trail back to events that had entrapped her when she was younger. Gradually these wounds rooted themselves into her emotions, mindset, habits, and decision making. Eventually leading her to a complicated relationship with anxiety and depression.
Always being fanatic about education and intrigued by how the brain operates led to Fatima’s scholastic development in psychology. More importantly, her understanding regarding why she viewed life, relationships, opportunities, and love from such a skewed lens. A psychodynamic perspective brings an emphasis on the cognitive influence that underlines human behavior, feelings, and emotions and how they might relate to experiences from the past.
“I stopped living in the falsity that my life would be better when I finally got “the apology”. I stopped believing life would be worth living when I hit a certain salary. I stopped courting anger and expecting everyone to understand. I stopped making excuses for my bad judgment. I stopped being jealous of people who seemed happy. For the first time, I sat in my mess and did the tough work to clean it up. I allowed myself to be free from the actions of others. It was an educational journey; one that lead me to a more intimate relationship with The Creator. But also to discover freedom in being myself. My flawed, quirky, sometimes loud, and beautiful self. In a nutshell, I took my life back.”
Through this deep dive into herself, Fatima has learned some very important tools. As a life coach, her clients also use these tips as a foundation to build on.
1. Everyone needs a safe place to fall. Someone who lovingly accepts your ugly cry and 3 days old under arm sweat.
2. A victim-mentality must change to a victor mindset. At some point, we are all held accountable for which we understand and it is up to us to correct it.
3. Healing includes proper placement of accountability. Own your stuff and yours alone.
4. It is okay to not be okay. But it is not okay to remain that way. I don’t care how cute the shoes and outfit, that person has “stuff” too. Comparison and envy must be replaced with self-determination to be a better you.
Fatima is a big believer in paying things forward, which is partly why she has chosen to open her life up in very vulnerable ways. Sharing various pitfalls and growing pains she endured while stuck in sorrow, resentment, bitterness, and self-righteous anger. She is convinced It is truly possible to heal from the unforgivable.

About 19 years ago… I burnt out and ended up with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I was even depressed and suicidal, but believe it or not, I wouldn’t trade that experience for the world. Being sick made me compassionate to the plight of others. Once I committed to the path of healing, I dove headlong into nutritional, emotional, and spiritual healing. I healed myself in two years and began sharing the wisdom I had learned to help others like me. And I discovered many people in similar circumstances were sensitive souls.
About 6 years ago… I wrote a bestselling book, Guide to Healing Chronic Pain – a Holistic Approach to help others suffering from fibromyalgia and pain disorders. I was featured on Biography TV and PBS’s Discoveries in Alternate Medicine. In 2016 I launched onto the global telesummit stage as an entity clearing and Light Medicine expert.
Now… I’ve developed a self-healing program that utilizes the forces of creation described in quantum physics with the ancient traditions of mystery schools. It’s called the TOLPAKAN™ Healing Method. Working with me is like being tapped into a spiritual supercomputer and I am sort of like Yoda® from Star Wars®, training you to be a Jedi® Master in your own healing.
Dr. Karen Kan, Physician, Acupuncturist and Energy Medicine specialist explains the current state of affairs when it comes to drug treatments for pain and the natural alternatives available such as acupuncture or non-transdermal needle-less acupuncture patches (LifeWave patches).
