Pop Culture Screams Wisdom Whispers

Exploring the Life and Insights of Joseph Chilton Pearce

Perhaps the greatest obstacle we each face is the open-ended nature of true intelligence and wisdom, as opposed to knowledge and imagination. Real development is not the accumulation of knowledge. He or she with the largest flash drive is not the most developed, the best human possible.

What does it mean to be a human being? What are the astonishing capacities that make being human unique in all the world, perhaps in all the worlds? What are the self-inflicted limitations that prevent those capacities from unfolding? Is there anything that can be done to take the lid off of our own, and our children’s, true development? Why, after millennia haven’t we become more than we are? Is it becoming even harder, with each new development, to discover, awaken and develop the miraculous gifts nature has hidden in each of us? Which side is winning; the dark or the light?

Astonishing Capacities

Each of us is, as the title of one of Joe’s books describes, Evolution’s End. We are each that tip of living essence, like a blade of grass pushing through concrete slab of our conditioning, habitual and reflexive behavior. There is little or no intelligence in a reflex, David Bohm notes. We have 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts each day and nearly all are replicas of what we thought yesterday. Krishnamurti describes us as second-hand human beings.

Actualizing our astonishing capacities demands that we transcend our self-inflicted limitations. Transcendence is not a concept, imagining a new something. Transcendence is a state, not an idea.

“The Life and Insights of Joseph Chilton Pearce, edited by Michael Mendizza, reveals how Pearce, a modern-day sage, endowed with the courage, strength, and perseverance to challenge conventional world views, offered humanity original and penetrating insights into our transcendent nature and vast creativity. Joe’s brilliant and original works represent a profound and important contribution toward healing our global dysfunction and ensuring the healthy development of future generations.”

Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., stem cell biologist, epigenetic science pioneer,
and author of The Biology of Belief, The Honeymoon Effect, and many others.

“Pearce was an inspirational figure, a small giant.
He soared higher than I aspire, or most people can.”

Dr. Gabor Maté

A New Book on the Life and Insights of Joseph Chilton Pearce

A dream that began in 2010, weaving together in one volume the themes that inspired Joseph Chilton Pearce for a lifetime, is now available.

Joseph Chilton Pearce His Life and Insights, Astonishing Capacities and Self-inflicted limitations.

I share without hesitation that Joe’s passion, his direct experience, childlike wonder, and incisive questioning lead to original insights; a deep and penetrating blend of developmental biology, the epigenetic role society, and culture plays in human development, personal revelations that quantum scientists are just now perusing, practical Vedic wisdom, and a vision of self and reality that explains and even makes assessable what most consider to be miracles. He opened the doors of perception for more than his generation, in ways that can, if understood and applied, radically change the future for us all.

Sometimes it takes a lifetime to embody an insight our teachers share. Joe (Joseph Chilton Pearce) was like an idealized father, ideal in the sense of sharing together one’s passion. It is, I believe, every parent’s wish that their children see the light that illuminates our journey in the same way that every child wishes to be seen for whom they really are and not as an image to be compared.
