Exploring the Harmony of Humanity: Uniting Voices for a Conscious World

The “One World” concept aims to bridge diverse belief systems by encouraging understanding, open communication, and a focus on shared values. Here’s how the sources suggest this is achieved:

  • Exploring Different Perspectives
  • Critical Inquiry and Truth-Seeking
  • Sharing Information
  • Moving Beyond Fear and Misinformation
  • Open Communication
  • Recognizing Shared Humanity
  • Personal Experience as a Bridge



1990 to 2025

Early Beginnings

In the vibrant tapestry of the early 1990s, a thread emerged that would weave its way through the fabric of time to reemerge three decades later.

This thread was the “One World” TV show, a visionary project hosted by Zen Benefiel, a man whose name would become synonymous with the exploration of consciousness and the unification of global citizens.

Early on, from 1990, and before his moniker arrived, he produced over 120 TV shows peering into the depths of how inner and outer worlds were aligned for personal and professional success.

“One World” was more than just a show; it was a beacon for those seeking deeper understanding and connectivity at a time when the world was on the cusp of a digital revolution. Khigh Dheigh’s World Citizen Pledge was the inspiration for conceiving of Planetary Citizens decades ago.

Zen’s unique ability to engage with topics of sustainability, unity, and conscious living resonated with many, providing a platform for dialogue and discovery.

Join this transformative journey of self-discovery and connection as the podcast navigates the depths of the human experience.

Ep 11 - One World in a New World with Steve Bhaerman - Humorist and Author aka Swami Beyondananda Zen Benefiel, Author and Transformational Life Coach (BeTheDream.com) takes us on another apocalyptic (uncovering knowledge) journey in making sense common. Zen is a polymath, deep thinker and researcher and it comes out in his comfortable and open yet focused style. Our conversation spins and twirls in the dance of the making sense humorously. We discuss his early comedic upbringing and surviving in Brooklyn. Then, onto his participation in creating an alternative school in Washington DC during the 60s. The circuity of comedy and conversation takes us through sharing sacred space in truth telling as well. Swami ultimately pronounces an upwising in the awareness of Americans toward the Heartland and our part in the Great Weset. Steve Bhaerman is an internationally known author, humorist, and workshop leader. For the past 29 years, he has written and performed as Swami Beyondananda, the "Cosmic Comic." Swami's comedy has been called "irreverently uplifting" and has been described both as "comedy disguised as wisdom" and "wisdom disguised as comedy." As the Swami, Steve is the author of Driving Your Own Karma (1989), When You See a Sacred Cow, Milk It For All It's Worth (1993), Duck Soup for the Soul (1999) and Swami for Precedent: A 7-Step Plan to Heal the Body Politic and Cure Electile Dysfunction (2004). In his "past life" (before Swami), Steve started an alternative high school in Washington, D.C. and co-authored a book about his experiences, No Particular Place to Go: Making of a Free High School. A political science major, he later taught history to autoworkers at Wayne State University in Detroit as part of the Weekend College. In 1980, Steve co-founded Pathways Magazine in Ann Arbor, Michigan, one of the first publications bringing together holistic health, personal growth, spirituality, and politics. Subsequent to Pathways, Steve was a freelance writer and co-author with Don McMillan of Friends and Lovers: How to Meet the People You Want to Meet (Writer's Digest Books, 1986). Since 2005, Steve has written a political blog with a spiritual perspective, Notes From the Trail, hailed as an encouraging voice "in the bewilderness." His latest book, written with cellular biologist Bruce H. Lipton, PhD is Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here (Hay House, 2009). Steve is active in transpartisan politics and the practical application of Spontaneous Evolution. Steve currently helps comedians and non-comedians alike bring more joy and playfulness into their work, communicate more effectively through humor, and "humorize" their message. He continues to travel the US and the world performing cosmic comedy in his Swami persona.

Zen Benefiel will guide us through this transformative journey. An outtake from One World in a New World with Dr. Robert Gilman and Zen Benefiel discussing what 'new paradigm' means in context to life. You're offering, and what you’ve found in the things that you do, is a way. It may not be the way, but it’s a way that works. Yeah, and I would say it’s a way worth exploring. Sure, and so— and I say that in the sense that I’ve devoted my life to it. It’s a bridge from where we are, and that bridge involves doing what one can to build the new. To that, you know, I’m very much with Buckminster Fuller, who used to say that the only way to change something is to make it obsolete. Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/TI8y7Pd4O0A
