~~~ James O'Dea ~~~

James O'Dea, clear thinking and forward seeing president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences  www.ions.org and the Seattle, WA community www.ionsnw.org/ James brings to IONS a depth of experience and perspective that is powerful. He lived and worked in Turkey and Lebanon, witnessing civil conflict and massacres that influenced him deeply and led to his becoming director of the Washington DC office of Amnesty International for ten years, representing it to the State Department, White House, and World Conference on Human Rights, testifying before Congress, meeting with U.S. presidents, foreign heads of state... and making a difference.

Prior to joining IONS, James was executive director of Seva, and created and currently co-leads a series of dialogues “Compassionate and Social Healing” funded by the Fetzer Institute, that bring together leaders and activists in a various fields related to human rights and social reconciliation initiatives.

James speaks on the science of consciousness, intention, and perception, and shows how a major shift in world views is already creating new forms of meaning and new possibilities for action and change. How can we use our own consciousness - this potent tool - to create global healing and transformation? What would it mean to be skilled users of the most spectacular tool available? "We are one, we are all in some form of unity emerging and our task is to remember that not only do we pledge allegiance alone to a particular flag but we pledge allegiance to the Earth and it's sky and it's waters and all of it's cultures as a collective enterprise that still has an extraordinary journey ahead of it."

"IONS, Advancing Global Transformation"
 IONS re-frames its mission statement to effectively meet the horizon of emergence on the planet and the dramatic shift in consciousness since Edgar Mitchell's extraordinary epiphany and his founding of IONS.  We are witnessing the advancement of individual and social transformation.  James is very aware of the tragedies in the world and at the same time sees the signs of people awakening, moving from power to more heart centered principles.  Plus, the importance of dialogue that requires a whole new capacity, and an update on Dr. Dean Raden's quantum entanglement experiment in the new "Bleep" film "Further Down The Rabbit Hole"  ... James says the next movie should be, "Who The Bleep Do We Be?"

James speaks of our connectedness, the upward and downward causation of consciousness and the schizophrenia we have with the notion of spirit.   Our mental software is inadequate (needs to be upgraded), however, our body's hardware is extremely sophisticated... an instrument of universal intelligence!   Plus a tribute to Edgar Mitchell, founder of IONS.
