Intelligence is far beyond and makes possible intellect. Most mistake intellect as intelligence. Joe helps us not make this mistake. By appreciating the difference we align ourselves with natures' agenda for true development.

The earlier the developmental stage the more sensitive and therefore critical. In this series Joe explores Pregnancy, Birth and Bonding, what nature expects and what intellectual interference has done to this miraculous process.

It was Einstein who said that imagination was more important than knowledge. He understood that our greatest discoveries and most profound works of art have come to us through imagination and play. Far from being idle day dreaming, the fantasies of childhood, build the foundation for all higher learning.

As every child grows they reach out to explore the world in new and expanding ways. What they learn gives meaning to life and changes how they feel about themselves. Here Joe looks at learning and what we call education in completely new ways.

We hear a lot about self-esteem these days, but few have really give it much thought. To have self-esteem we must be able to reach inside, see a new possibility and then allow that inner vision to act upon and change the world we live in. This going within and developing the inner vision and skill to change the outer world, is perhaps the most important lesson we will ever learn.

In this program we are going stretch our limits by discovering completely new ways to look at our young adults. Joseph Chilton Pearce will challenge us along with a group of parents, educators and health care providers, by asking that we consider that adolescence might actually be very different from what we think it is. He suggests that adolescence may really be cumulative effect of both false education and a failure to fully develop our full potential.

The Essential Joseph Chilton Pearce consists of 61 Insight topics. The collection spans a wide range subjects including; conception, pregnancy, birth, parenting, education, media, culture, identity, personal and spiritual development.

Play is Learning is one of the best introductions to Joseph Chilton Pearce, one that embodies a number of his fundamental themes: ages and stages of development, the model imperative, the difference between real learning and conditioning (the behavior modification and training we call schooling) and how authentic play represents natures design for optimum learning and performance, at any age, meeting any challenge.

Religion was one of our great enemies and our downfall, not only looking at the present time but throughout history. The rising tide of violence seemed to have, more often than not, a religious fervor involved in it. On the other hand I think of science. I don't think science has been at all the great saving grace as a human species as we have made it to be. If you look at it at the basis of nearly every real catastrophe certainly facing us today it's scientific. To most people this is an even worse heresy than spiting on the flag or calling your mother by a bad name, to suggest that science has been a curse on the species. Yet if you look closely you'll find these two things; science as a new religion and religion itself is what brought us to the brink of species extinction.
