There are 2 films on this tape. The first, in recognition of World AIDS Day, 1994, begins with a ceremony of 19 chimes. A panel of four discuss their experiences with AIDS, either having the disease or working in the AIDS community. They discuss how the AIDS community are our elders, help with the dying, extending generosity and wisdom in extreme and painful circumstances, humor and creativity. Grassroots development of organizations is recounted. Dying in Africa and cultural differences in native communities is presented by one speaker. Medicines in South Africa are discussed. Questions and comment from the audience ensue and a moment of silence is held. The 2nd talk is with Zalman Schacter-Shalomi (59:48). He discusses the new millennium, alternative healing methods and eco-psychology. He says we are victims of our imaginations, and that we don’t steer imagination. We imagine the worst, and have to steer ourselves out of difficult imagination. He talks about various lineages and traditions having certain myths and that these shared visions bring in the positive outlooks. He gives examples from biology and sports for placing good intention and steering good outcomes. He talks of how with collaboration we can further outcomes with more intensity in the new millennium. He talks about thinking with the heart, not with the head, taking hold of the positive and pushing it. He asks the class what world change they would like to make and to take some time to envision it. Discussions follow.
