Neuroscience has now convincingly demonstrated
the functional unity between mind and body. This
validates one of the foundational principles of depth
psychology—an understanding that there are forces
of the psyche that stimulate the body’s capacity to
heal itself. This new paradigm has led Pacifica to offer
this exciting new degree program specialization.

This month’s issue celebrates the
feminine — we are honored to feature
three courageous spiritual warriors. At this
time in our human evolution it is critical
that we share the wisdom of our elders to
benefit the whole.
In an exclusive interview, visionary
Barbara Marx Hubbard shares her concept
of Conscious Evolution, the important role
of the cultural-creatives and the birthing of
a new human culture. In her words, “The
rise of the feminine co-creator is the rise of
the Creative who has a sense of her
creativity to evolve and heal something in
the world. She has a relationship between
her inner drive to express her authentic
self — something in herself of her gifts, into
the world.”
Poet, mystic, Rumi scholar, and internationally
acclaimed author Andrew Harvey
speaks about his book, The Hope: A Guide
to Sacred Activism. As Marion Williamson
wrote: “Every age has its teacher. In the
case of Andrew Harvey, the light he sheds
is like a meteor bursting across the sky.”
The Whole Person is honored to have a
conversation with Mr. Harvey about sacred
activism; what all of us can do to prepare
ourselves as sacred activists in the coming
global shakedown, and his relationship to
the Divine Mother, who has inspired and
energized his life’s work.
Midwife, Robin Lim was recently
nominated as the first 2011 CNN
Hero. Her daughter, Déjà Bernhardt,
wrote and directed the
documentary that tells her story,
The Guerrilla Midwife, a film about
“my mother as an example of
every mother, midwife or physician
who goes against the grain when
necessary to fight for the right of
women everywhere to birth as normally as
possible no matter what their socio-economic
environment may be.”
May these stories inspire greatness and
generate an appreciation for the Mother,
the feminine, the Divine.

Seven Questions for
Barbara Marx Hubbard
by Tree Bernstein
Barbara Marx Hubbard is co-founder of the Foundation for
Conscious Evolution. She is an evolutionary educator, speaker and
social innovator as well as the author of six books on conscious
evolution. Though currently working with The Shift Network as a
guide for conscious evolution, she is also co-producing a global
multi-media event, Birth 2012: Co-Creating a Planetary Shift in
Time, set for December 22, 2012.
I arrived at her serene Santa Barbara home on a lovely spring
morning in April. Ms. Hubbard was in the middle of a teleconference
when I arrived, so her gracious assistant offered me a cup of
chamomile tea and the opportunity to peruse her extensive library
while I waited. I noticed, arranged neatly in alphabetical order,
Letters on Yoga by Sri Ananada, The Critical Path by Buckminster
Fuller, The Fountain of Age by Betty Friedan, as well as essays by
Emerson, Deepak Chopra, Kate Millet and scores of other philosophers
and thinkers.
When Barbara Marx Hubbard was 15 years old, in 1945, the
first atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. This defining moment
illuminated her life’s quest to find answers to the question; what are
positive images of the future equal to these new powers Her life’s
work has led to her a message of hope that “our crisis is a birth”
which will lead to a more universal humanity.
WP: In your film, Visions for Universal Humanity, Jean Huston
says, “the rise of the feminine co-creator is the most important event of
the last five thousand years.” Is this a principle tenant of Conscious
Evolution
BMH: Just a little background; it goes back to the sixties. It wasn’t
just the women’s movement that noticed the world population
exploding. If you doubled the population on Earth, you’d kill all
life. It has to slow down. So women’s focus shifted from the eternal
pattern of self-reproducing to self-evolving. So many women were
working to become equals, to gain their rights, but they didn’t want
to be equal in a dysfunctional world. The rise of the feminine
co-creator is the rise of the Creative who has a sense of her creativity
to evolve and heal something in the world. She has a relationship
between her inner drive to express her authentic self — something
in herself of her gifts, into the world. It seems to activate
something in a woman similar to the excitement of pregnancy and
birth, in that she just falls in love with what she wants to create.
The woman has the ability for unconditional love. She loves that
unknown child unconditionally.
I had five children, the first when I was 21. I realized my
hormones were programming me to love that unknown child, and
of course, once the child is born you fall in love with it, but it’s still
really hard to take care of! But you have that feeling of love. After
my five children, I fell into a depression. In the fifties it was
considered neurotic to want more than a home and a family. Then
my expression of myself shifted from a seeking, lost housewife to a
being with an expression of universal purpose.
The feminine co-creator, particularly women in their mid-50’s,
the post-menopausal women are finding their universal purpose as
co-creators in every field imaginable. You find your creative energy
begins to re-generate you.
WP: This is a huge change from societal traditions in the past.
BMX: Yes, it’s never been seen on a scale like this before. We had
past cultures of matriarchy, but we didn’t have a “know-a-sphere,”
a thinking layer of the Earth. We didn’t have the scientific and
technological advances we have now. Even though there have been
great women leaders in the past, the basic structure of power for
the past five thousand years has been the suppression of the
feminine.
WP: Does this change mean a complete obliteration of the social
structure we have now
BMH: I don’t think so. I think it means an evolution of it. We are
already seeing it. In general, such women are always seeking
partnerships with men who want to contribute. It’s co-equal,
co-creativity. Not feminine dominance over men.
WP: How does one respond to dominance, or its sibling, violence
How does one maintain peace in the face of violence
BMH: Violence to me is a condition of the human nervous
system. A book by James Hillman, The Terrible Love of War, speaks
of this. The crisis is such that if the species is going to survive,
there is going to be a shift from violence and control as a way to
organize, toward collaboration and co-creation.
WP: Certainly recent cataclysmic events — such as the earthquake
and tsunami in Japan — have brought about a response from the
global community. Do you see the crisis in Japan as a metaphor for our
times
BMH: Here is a tremendous irony of history. The Japanese were
the first people to suffer from the effects of the atomic bomb. They
are a very industrial, technological nation, and now they have a
nuclear crisis. It looks to me like Japan might be destined by
evolution to have come up with a new industrial culture. It could
be they cannot continue with nuclear energy. They already know
fossil fuels are unsustainable and destructive.
WP: Do you think this might be the place the change begins
BMH: I think it’s beginning in many places all over the world,
right now with the green movements, conscious capitalism
movements, but somewhere it has to be bad enough to initiate the
change. That’s the way evolution works.
WP: What about corporate greed, personal gain How does that play
out in this new world

BMH: If they can get away with it, they will. Corporate greed
requires fossil fuels, nuclear energy. It is the basis of an industrial
culture. They may very well destroy the culture, and global
warming will continue and cities will go under water.
However, you start linking up that which is shifting, linking
that which is emergent and sustainable, linking up the positive —
wherever you can find it. Here’s the evolutionary theory: if you
can connect that which is creative, non-linear connectivity, with
what is creative, emergent and sustainable, then, maybe with
cultural-creatives, we will see change. It’s a very difficult birth to
the new human culture.
WP: Is this transformation available only to those who are conscious of
the need for transformation What about those who haven’t heard this
conversation
BMH: It’s so interesting now when you see pictures of the Taliban
with their computers and technology. They have Facebook.
WP: Outfitted in their ninth-century garb.
BMF: Yes! The ninth-century on Facebook! Something’s going to
give. They have children. While these cultures are reactionary, they
are also trans-global. As we’ve seen in Tunisia and Egypt, it is the
strategy of the young people to mobilize against dictatorships.
We realize our “intelligence” has gone back to the women.
We’ve reached what I call a crisis of the birth of a co-evolving
species. What is our purpose There is nobody who is an expert.
There is no indigenous elder to stand on the other side.
WP: Actually, I hear a lot of hope in our exchange here this morning.
BMH: Crisis precedes transformation. I’ll tell you what my
project is. I am so excited now. We are creating a venue for Birth
2012: Co-Creating a Planetary Shift in Time set for December
22, 2012, right here — a trans-global event. If you go to my
website, you’ll find ways to connect with Evolutionary Education.
WP: That is exciting. What about you You have such a busy
schedule. What would you say is the best part of your day
BMH: I like to get up very early in the morning. I meditate. I sit
right here in this chair. I practice this particular type of meditation
— I meditate on the Wheel of Co-Creation.
Instead of visionary, I feel I am visioning, along with many
others.

UPCOMING EVENT:
Cosmic Spirituality: A Time
for Evolutionary Christianity
WHAT IS CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION
Due to the increased power given us through science and technology, we are learning how nature
works – the gene, the atom, the brain. We are affecting our own evolution by everything we do.
With these new powers we can destroy our life support systems …or we can move toward a
hope-filled future of immeasurable possibilities.
We are the generation of choice, and we do not have much time to choose!
Conscious Evolution is the worldview that has arisen precisely at this moment in history to deal
with the new human condition. It is a vision and a direction to help us navigate through this
transitional period to the next stage of human evolution. As Einstein admonished, humankind
cannot solve its problems from the same place of consciousness in which we created them. A new
place of consciousness is required.
In simple terms Conscious Evolution takes place when we intend to grow in consciousness and
use our increasing awareness to guide our actions and achieve a positive future.

The Hope:
A Conversation with Andrew Harvey
by Sharon Hall
“The day will come when, after harnessing
space, the winds, the tides, gravitation, we
shall harness for God the energies of love.
And on that day, for the second time in the
history of the world, man will have
discovered fire.”
- Teilhard de Chardin
Years ago, Andrew Harvey — mystic,
poet, translator, scholar, spiritual teacher,
founder of the Institute of Sacred Activism,
and passionate environmental activist
— helped me get through a spiritual crisis.
I had not met him yet, but finding his
books was like finding a friend. Andrew’s
passionate, poetic writing helped me
realize that I was not alone.
I met Mr. Harvey this year at an Expo
in Los Angeles. He was there to talk about
his book, The Hope: a Guide to Sacred
Activism. After a day surrounded by
psychics, mediums, and crystals, hearing
him speak was like stepping from shade
into brilliant sunlight. He offered hard
truths: the world is crying out — do we
have the guts to listen and respond The
audience that day was asked to consider an
important question: “What, of all the
causes in this burning world, breaks my
heart the most” Answering that with our
whole being would reveal our own path of
sacred activism.
I spoke with Mr. Harvey over the
phone — about The Hope and sacred
activism, about the coming global
shakedown and shadow, and about his
relationship to the Divine Mother, who
continues to inspire and energize his life
and work.
disaster, in millions living on less than a
dollar a day, in the burning down of the
forests, in the pollution of our oceans.
There is more to come.
SH: Is it too late for us
AH: In a terrifying sense, it’s going exactly
as it has to go. We have to be shattered in
order to be healed. The old ways, the old
agendas have to be deconstructed so the
new that is already here has room to
emerge in greater strength. The truth is,
there’s a great birth taking place in the
middle of, and partly as a result of, a great
death — this is a divine mystery. What the
human race is going through on a global
scale is what the mystic goes through in
the dark night of the soul.
SH: You have said we won’t survive this
deconstruction without the grace of the
Divine, our spiritual practices, and our work
with our own shadow-material. You’ve
described it as one of the key practices of a
sacred activist. Many spiritual people either
demonize this shadow aspect, or seem to
ignore it completely.
AH: Without confronting our personal
shadow that colludes with the collective
shadow, we won’t get through the crisis.
And, we can’t do this kind of work without
first being grounded in the Divine.
SH: I love the story in The Hope about the
agribusiness CEO who gave you the serpent’s
wisdom. You stated that you had been naive
about evil; you believed people who’d do such
things to others and to the environment were
just ignorant and unaware of the consequences
or the harm they caused, but this encounter
ended your innocence.
AH: Yes. I discovered he was not ignorant;
he just didn’t care. He’d knowingly
enriched himself at the expense of his own
future, the future of the planet, and the
future of the human race. People in power,
wedded to the destructive forces, will use
them consciously. And that’s very scary.
But, just as Hitler was defeated by the
madness of his own overreaching arrogance
in invading Russia, so will the overreaching
and unsustainable nature of the current
system destroy itself.
SH: Should we have compassion even for
those who are bringing about such destruction
SH: I’ve been thinking about sacred activism
in light of Japan and the Middle East. You
wrote and talked about the precipitating
event of a global crisis before these recent
events took place. Is this the beginning
AH: We are going to be shaken awake.
There will be a “perfect storm” of events
designed to wake us up to the truth; all our
current agendas are illusions and we are
living unsustainable lives. It is showing up
in environmental disasters, financial

AH: Of course; because they are doing the
most appalling things to themselves first in
order to do these dreadful things. But, that
should not stop us from opposing their
actions with real vigor — while still
holding them in our hearts.
SH: That’s a beautiful vision, and a hard
place for many activists to hold.
AH: It’s a hard place for anyone to hold.
Gandhi brilliantly opposed the whole
edifice of the British Empire, and at the
same time, honored every English person.
Martin Luther King deeply opposed the
injustice and horrific cruelty that had
manifested in the system against African
Americans, but managed to hold the white
people involved in the core of his heart.
The Dalai Lama has devoted His entire life
to undoing the horror of what the Chinese
did to the Tibetans; He continues to treat
the Chinese with respect and compassion,
and to pray for their spiritual liberation.
SH: Not an easy thing to do.
AH: It’s an impossible thing to do in the
frightened, scared, endlessly compromised
and endlessly corrupt ego. It’s only possible
by going into our enlightened self, where
all sacred activists are being required to go,
and to put in place structures that can
survive.
SH: You have talked and written about such
structures or cells — Networks of Grace you
are creating — that will hold their integrity
in the midst of rapid change. Aren’t people in
many traditions doing this, through spiritual
practices, prayer, and community
AH: Grace and practice and prayer are
essential, but they have to be backed up by
actions in the real world. The new human
being created by the Divine is a person
rooted in the deepest spiritual practices,
but who uses the fuel of love and wisdom
that comes from these practices in order to
be strong enough to act for justice in the
world — with compassion, love, and
wisdom.
The Divine
is not static,
it’s evolving.
Constantly.
SH: Jesus tossing the moneylenders from the
temple.
AH: Yes. He’s doing that as much for the
moneylenders as for those who are being
victimized by and colluding with them. He
is exercising divine ferocity at that
moment; as an act of compassion for those
still trapped in the ego.
SH: This term — divine ferocity — reminds
me of the wrathful deities in Tibetan
Buddhism. Utterly fierce, full of terrifying
and fearsome power, but still Buddhas!
AH: Yes! You can only obtain such divine
ferocity when you can love those who
oppose you as much as you love those who
are with you. When you can achieve that,
divinely ferocious action comes straight
from the heart of Divine Love.
SH: Andrew, you have spoken and written
about your struggles, your own dark night of
the soul.
AH: I think we all have to go through a
dark night in order to be broken down; in
order to become truly empty. Then, the
divine fire can awaken in us and possess us.
SH: You have said this came about, in your
own case, from loss and betrayal by a beloved
teacher. How did you survive, emotionally
and spiritually
AH: I think one person dies and another is
born. Betrayal that deep, that cruel and
ferocious, can drive a person to a place
where they are the strongest — it forces
one into the Divine. All the mystical
traditions have talked about the necessity
to die in this life before the death of the
body. That is the dark night — and it’s the
ultimate mercy because it saves us from
being trapped in the false self. And, it’s
very dangerous. That’s why I’m trying to
bring through this vision of sacred activism
so people can be ready for what’s coming.
It’s a question of being able to respond —
creatively, joyfully, and passionately —
with one’s whole being to something that
feels to the ego like total disaster. That
paralysis is already here. Most Americans
seemed incapable of protesting against
anything that is done to them, don’t they
SH: It sure seems that way. Things flash by
for a moment then we’re on to the next. Do
you think recent events are forcing people to
wake up
AH: Look. America had 9/11 and was told
to shop. You had Katrina, and that’s
already a distant memory. Then there was
the oil spill in the Gulf. That was bad news
for awhile, but now it’s almost forgotten.
You had the 2008 financial collapse. All
people can think about now are the very
small signs of financial recovery. But the
entire system is built on sand and it will
crumble soon. It will take multiple
disasters to penetrate the absolute paralysis
of the human mind and heart.
We are now in the position of an addict.
When you love an addict, you discover
they can fall down stairs, be convicted of
stealing — hurt themselves and those
around them and do the most appalling
things — but keep the addiction; until a
devastating moment arrives. Then the
addict has to face the fact he or she may

The Guerrilla Midwife
by Déjà Bernhardt
Growing up the daughter of a
midwife there were certain givens; there
were many midwives and pregnant
mommies and an abundance of stories
about them. My seven siblings and I often
joked that our birth-related dinner-table
conversation was inappropriate while
eating, but the truth is that at every meal,
every day with our mom, we heard heroic
stories of average women at the most
vulnerable time in their life — childbirth.
The experience helped to form my
opinions, beliefs about the world and later
inspired me to make the film, Guerrilla
Midwife.
“A revolution will occur in our vision of
violence when the birth process comes to be
known as a critical stage in the human
development of the capacity to love.”
Piles of books about birthing and
pregnancy have been creating around
French obstetrician Michel Odent’s simple
wise words. I picked them up and never
forgot them — they gave me insight as to
why my mother is compelled to fight for
pregnant mothers and their baby’s human
right to gentle childbirth choices.
Soon, I became a mother myself. As a
filmmaker, the stories I wanted to tell
became those same stories I heard from my
own mother — all of which had a recurring
theme, that of LOVE. My mother, Robin
Lim, is a midwife in Bali. She is the
founder of Bumi Sehat Bali, a non-profit
organization devoted to facilitating gentle
childbirth at a grass roots level. The clinics
she and many other dedicated individuals
build and support are found in villages
throughout Bali, where hemorrhage after
childbirth is the leading cause of death due
to lack of nutrition as a direct result of poverty. There is another in
Sumatra where the massive waves of the 2004 Tsunami have forever
changed the culture of a people almost completely wiped out by
disaster. And in January 2010, Robin was called to Haiti to assist in
the building of a gentle birth clinic in response to the need of
women and children after the massive earthquake there. She has
caught babies of all race, religion, economic conditions and in all
parts of the world. The women that come to have their children in
these clinics or that she attends to in their homes are no different
than many of you who will be reading this — they want the best
most-natural experience for the birth of their child, only many of
them don’t have a home or live in a situation either politically or
domestically where they are not safe to do so. Bumi Sehat serves as
We need a society
which holds motherhood
as sacred and respects
the fragility of the
birthing process.
their safe home to become mothers.
As I write this, I realize that some of
you may not feel you are safe to make these
choices for yourselves either. After all, the
society we live in today, even as American
women, does not fully support gentle,
peaceful childbirth. Childbirth is often
driven by economic factors; i.e. how much
a cesarean costs versus a vaginal birth or
how long a doctor in a hospital may allow
a woman to stay on a natural birth plan
before he/she interferes. Hospital protocols
are motivated by fear instilled by insurance
companies. This is what is known as the
“industrialization of childbirth.” I am not
against cesarean, it is a life-saving operation
—and a medical miracle when needed and
used wisely. However, I, like many gentle
birth advocates, am against the misuse and
overuse of a procedure that has many
repercussions that can affect the bonding
process of mother, child and family. In
fact, the elevated cesarean rate has driven
the maternal mortality rate up due to
complications of the surgery and infection
post-surgery.
Breastfeeding is affected just as
childbirth is. Infant formula has become
easy and popular due to misinformation
disbursed by the businesses who profit from
bottle feeding. There is no way to make
money supporting breastfeeding, and despite
research that proves breastfeeding is best,
there is little support to help new mothers
initiate it. There is a devastating belief that
formula is superior to breast milk. As our
world moves back into a place where we
begin to understand how dangerous
industrialized farming is and embrace the
importance of organic farming, we also can
see how childbirth has become industrialized
and affected similarly.
During labor, childbirth, and within the first hours after birth,
mothers and babies both release the hormone oxytocin along with
other hormones that facilitate safe and natural birth and bonding.
It’s these hormones that also facilitate the production of breast
milk. When we disturb the birth process, we disrupt the release of
these hormones and compromise the ability of mother and child to
birth and bond normally. Since this disrupts the flow of oxytocin,
the safe delivery of the placenta and closing of the uterus is
compromised and the mother is put at risk for postpartum
hemorrhage and slower post-partum recovery.
Humans release oxytocin at other times in our lives — when

attachment. This first experience shapes
us at an early stage of development — this
first act of love is not just the first
experience of love for another but also the
first experience of self-love. As newborns
we still do not see ourselves as separate
from mother. If the baby is safe to give
and receive love at this fragile time,
without interruption and procedures
(including early cutting and clamping of
the cord, weighing, measuring, bathing,
even early vaccinating etc.) during the first
hour, a healthy bonding-attachment
relationship will occur and the mother’s
body should respond by naturally
producing colostrum and, later, breast
milk. Unless the baby is in serious distress,
all of these procedures can and should
wait.
The baby’s response to undisturbed,
gentle birth is to have an intact capacity to
love and trust right from the get-go.
Ibu Robin Lim with new family in Nyuh Kuning, Bali Indonesia at Bumi Sehat Clinic
we make love, when we see a loved one, when we feed a loved one or share a meal together
— all in much smaller doses. This is why we call oxytocin the “LOVE hormone,” because
the body produces it naturally at moments of intense love and it is essential for the
development of the human capacity to have those feelings. It does not mean that if you are
born by cesarean section that you cannot experience love. It means that we should question
the mainstream act of disrupting the evolution of humans at their most vulnerable moments
— the time during childbirth and the hour after.
If you are a parent you can attest to watching your newborn grow and change at an
intense rate in the first days and months. Now imagine what that translates into in the first
few moments. In these first precious minutes of human life there is accelerated growth and
change and the oxytocin that is produced naturally during childbirth by both the mother
and the baby prepares them for this vital human experience of bonding and healthy
“Imagine a world in which each individual
is born with an intact ability to love ... and
I am willing to work every day and night of
my life to make it so.”
~Ibu Robin Lim CPM
When we realize generations are born
without experiencing the natural evolution
of the birth and bonding process, we
see a world that is deeply disconnected. So
when we ask ourselves why is the world in
such distress, we might first ask, what
kind of importance do we place on love
What value do we give to mother-child
bonding Do we opt out or allow ourselves
as women and families to be
disempowered and talked into a so-called
easy childbirth, because it’s supposedly
pain-free or misleadingly safer Are we
deceived into believing that our bodies are
not capable of birthing in a normal,
healthy way When we interfere with the
birthing process even a little — by
inducing labor or forcing a woman to
surrender to anything that does not feel
completely natural at the time of birth to
her individual situation — we start a
cascade of negative effects that all can and
often do lead to a cesarean that could have
been avoided. It is more challenging and
painful for a woman to give birth

“ All that you want to be,

All you have to do
is move your awareness there
and recognize the reality

—John-Roger
Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness
www.msia.org
MSIA teaches Soul Transcendence, which is becoming aware
of yourself as a Soul and as one with God, not as a theory but
as a living reality.
The Soul is who you truly are; it is more than your body,
your thoughts or your feelings. It is the highest aspect of
your Self, where you and God are one.
MSIA provides tools and techniques that allow you to
experience your Soul and, therefore, your own divinity.
MSIA presents an approach that focuses on how to
incorporate spirituality into your everyday living.
We call it “practical spirituality”.

PSYCHIC PALM READING/EMPOWERMENT

(Harvey continued from page 7)
die; then he’s given a chance to turn it
around. Many choose the addiction and
die. As a species, we’re dangerously close to
that choice now.
SH: The Sacred Feminine is very important
in your work. How does She figure in this
upcoming crisis
AH: The death aspect of this is Kali
stamping Her feet, signaling the end of
one kind of human being — the one that’s
suicidal, matricidal, and addictive. Her
other side — the loving, nourishing, Mary
side — is flooding us with grace and with
new technologies that could wean us from
our addiction to oil, and with mystical and
spiritual revelations. The vision of sacred
activism itself is a vision of putting the
Mother’s love into action and finding a
way out of the madness.
SH: Do you find women have more access to
this vision
AH: Both men and women have a deep
wound. Women tend to be more thirsty to
discover this abandoned and derelict
feminine, but men are waking up to their
need to come in contact with their love
natures, to stop being slaves and robots.
Women are becoming stronger and men
are becoming gentler and wiser. This
amazing alchemy of the marriage of
opposites is taking place in a great many
women and a great many men at this time.
SH: I have found from my own experience,
unless people are actually doing some sort of
deep spiritual work there’s a tendency towards
imbalance. I practice a form of Buddhist
meditation and find it really helps.
AH: It’s not just spiritual practices that are
required; it’s also shadow work, especially
in groups. Spiritually aware people can
disintegrate just as easily as other people.
Teachers like Thich Nhat Hanh have
evolved a very powerful form of engaged
Buddhism. What I believe to be the
essence of the Buddhist transmission is the
ideal of the Bodhisattva, who works
ceaselessly for the salvation and good of all
beings. That’s the key.
I also believe the Dalai Lama is the
supreme example of a sacred activist. He
has offered ceaseless, loving critique again
and again for 30 to 40 years — about our
environmental policies, our addiction to
arms, our addiction to consumerism.
SH: Your book is such a call to reclaim our
voices.
AH: And, to reclaim the potency and
power of our divine empowerment.
SH: It is not about the needs of the ego; it
doesn’t come from there.
AH: No! It comes from enlightened
consciousness. A major misconception is
that enlightenment is the end of the
journey, but it’s just the beginning. Once
you’ve awakened you have to embody that
in everything you think, everything you
feel, everything you do. The Divine is not
static; it’s evolving. Constantly.
Enlightenment is better phrased as the
enlightenment field; it’s an entrance into a
quantum field of expansion.
The vision of sacred
activism itself is
a vision of putting the
Mother’s love into
action and finding
a way out of the
madness.
SH: That idea of something we achieve —
that’s so Western, isn’t it We want to get the
A; we want to win the gold.
AH: But, it’s an entrance into an explosion
that continues to explode! I’m sure the
Dalai Lama came in very awake, but I do
believe that at 75, his awakening is
incomprehensibly greater now then its ever
been — because of the intensity of his
practice and the dedication of every single
moment of his life to the salvation of every
being.
SH: Let’s talk about love for a moment,
Andrew. It’s so much a part of what you have
talked and written about over the years.
AH: It’s a cosmic power that is manifesting
everything that lives as everything that
is — behind the dance of opposites. It’s a
gift of the Mother-God; a vast, fiery,
ecstatic, blissful energy.
SH: In Return of the Mother, you describe
the Virgin Mary as Tantric; ecstatic and fiery.
I like that description.
AH: Well, I don’t believe in the traditional
idea of Mary as an actual virgin; that’s a
patriarchal fantasy. The woman that we
revere as Mary was enormously strong and
passionate — and radical. The Magnificat
is the most radical thing in the New
Testament. Mary calls for complete social,
political and spiritual revolution. And Her
example is of a woman who stood there,
and endured, and expanded — just
vibrating with the Divine Love. To this
day, She inspires people who turn to Her.
SH: Is there anything else you want to add
AH: Just that the signs of the Birth are
there for everyone to see. These signs, from
a mystical point of view, are that the crisis
itself is both a birth and a death; that
extraordinary new technologies are coming
in that will show us the way through our
addiction to oil; and that the mystical
renaissance has made all the sacred
technologies from all the mystical and
spiritual sources totally available. To
everybody.
SH: So, everything we need is already here
AH: Everything we need is here for us to
birth a new world — including crises to
show we cannot and should not go on in
the same way anymore.
SH: Sounds like a good time to buckle our
seats.
AH: It’s going to be a bumpy ride. But,
everything is possible.
SH: ...Because we’re still here.
AH: No. Because She is here, with us. She
is in us, and She is guiding this huge,
terrible transformation. She is blessing us
with the powers, and the passion, and the
vision, and the clarity...everything we need
is available from Her — Because She’s
here. That’s why we can survive. Doesn’t
that make sense to you, deeply
SH: It makes complete sense; I can feel Her,
too.
AH: We have to come down, to this place,
where we can feel the One who is here
already. We have to arrive in our bodies,
we have to arrive on the earth, and realize
it is Her body; we have to see the animals
as Her glorious creations, we have to fall
massively in love with the reality that is
Her. Then we will know Her, and feel Her
and feel how much torrential grace is
streaming towards us at every moment.
Then we will wake up, and become strong,
and do the work — not in the spirit of
penance — but in the spirit of great, great
joy.
SH: Why do we hesitate to surrender and
open completely to this

AH: Because we’re afraid; it means the end
of our personal agendas of power, personal
satisfaction, personal manipulation — all
the games of malice and cruelty, perversion
and domination that we’ve chosen.
SH: The very thing that would save us is
what we resist the most.
AH: Yes. But, isn’t this the drama of the
human race We come close to the fire of
Love, and are terrified because we realize
this is the fire that will burn our house
down. That is when we have to trust the
great mystics. As our personal house burns
down, we receive the entire cosmos as our
new dwelling place.
SH: I’m reminded of the poem about the
monk whose house burnt to the ground.
AH: I think it’s Basho; “My house burnt
down. Now I own a better view of the
rising moon.”
Our houses will be burnt down and we’ll
own a much better view of the rising
moon. We’re going to scream and think
we’re being destroyed, but the moon will
rise on a new human race.
SH: Yes. This feels like a great time to stop.
Thanks so much for giving me this time
tonight. I’m honored to have had this
conversation with you.
AH: Thank you and bless you; bless your
life and your work, and I hope our paths
will cross again someday.
SH: I feel certain they will. Thank you,
Andrew.

normally when her body is not allowed to
release the hormones necessary to facilitate
childbirth.
The World Health Organization
reported in 2007 that 40 other
countries have lower maternal death
rates than the United States. The
Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
reports that there has been no
improvement in the maternal death
rate in the United States since 1982.
The following is a data brief directly
from the CDC: http://www.cdc.gov/
nchs/data/databriefs/db35.htm
NCHS DATA BRIEF-

of all births were cesarean deliveries.
Although there are often clear
clinical indications for a cesarean
delivery, the short and long-term
benefits and risks for both mother
and infant have been the subject of
intense debate for over 25 years.
Cesarean delivery involves major
abdominal surgery, and is associated
with higher rates of surgical complications
and maternal re-hospitalization,
as well as with complications
requiring neonatal intensive care unit
admission. In addition to health and
safety risks for mothers and newborns,
hospital charges for a cesarean
delivery are almost double those for
a vaginal delivery, imposing significant
costs.
Childbirth is without question risky.
In fact, no amount of technology can
eliminate the risk that childbirth imposes
entirely. In the history of the world, each
and every woman that gives birth is truly a
heroine. This experience is part of what
When we realize
generations being born
without experiencing
the natural evolution
of the birth and
bonding process
we see a world that is
deeply disconnected.
prepares us for the most important role we
will face — motherhood. We need a
society which holds motherhood as sacred
and respects the fragility of the birthing
process. In the words of Dr. Odent,
“When we speak in terms of public health,
we must first look at the gestational
period, this is the time when our physiology
is being shaped.” We spend a lifetime
trying to undo what our DNA and our
emotional experiences at childbirth have
left us with instead of first understanding
the importance of the time in the womb
and the first hour after birth, acknowledging
its lasting effects on the human
physiology and emotional well being.
As a filmmaker and a woman, I felt it was
necessary to share this story with the
world. Guerrilla Midwife is a film about
my mother as an example of every mother,
midwife or physician who goes against the
grain when necessary to fight for the right
of women everywhere to birth as normally
as possible no matter what their socio-economic
environment may be.
When women ask me what is right
for them during childbirth, I simply
respond that it is what is most intuitive for
them. Introducing drugs into a labor will
definitely inhibit the bodies ability to feel
and respond, so avoiding them when it is
at all safely possible will help you to be
able to make choices for yourself. Don’t
allow anyone to fool you into believing
that drugs introduced during labor have
no effect on your unborn baby — they do.
The baby and the mother both play a role
in labor, not just the mother. It is
absolutely necessary for the baby to be
responsive as well.
In my mother’s words; “Many women
who have had trauma in their past birth
experiences may be healed by a gentle
birth experience.”
After making documentaries all over
the world on disparate humanitarian
issues that range from AIDS in Africa to
natural disaster survival and are close to
my heart, I realize that this film has been
the most important film I will ever make
because the experience of birth affects
each and every human being.
Find out what your doctor’s cesarean
rate is — it is your right to know. Talk to
your midwife or doctor and Doula and be
clear on what their beliefs are. Do they
correspond to what you and your family
desire
Women everywhere have something
in common — the astonishing ability to
give birth normally. It is our right and we
must advocate to preserve it. Here is to the
Guerrilla Midwife, who still believes in
miracles.
Déjà Cresencia Bernhardt draws on her
Asian-American mixed heritage to tell the
stories of a planet displaced. Her documentaries
have captured the social/environmental
issues from Africa to Indonesia to Haiti.
Déjà is currently in post-production of her
first narrative film, “How I Lost My
Birthday,” while completing her MFA at
University of Texas Radio-Television-Film.
