Ben Bernstein Ph.D.
Psychologist. Performance coach.
For the last forty years, my professional and personal exploration as a psychologist and teacher has been focused on the difference between love and fear and how we manifest them.
Fear separates us from ourselves, from each other and from the Divine. Love unites, on every level. Why do we become afraid and what perpetuates it? How can we dissolve the darkness brought on by fear and open up to love’s light? I believe the answers to these questions lie at the very juncture of sustainability and spirituality. How can we think about anyone or anything else when we are afraid? Love is the original state of wholeness. How do we find it again and live in it?
Each of us must ask these questions of ourselves before we ask them of others. We must look within and find where we are blocked, and do the work of dissolving those obstacles to experiencing the love that is already there-for ourselves, for each other and for the Divine.
In fear there is no sustainability, and spirituality withers. Yet it never dies. In the I Ching, the ancient Chinese Book of Changes, the hexagram for Duration shows two figures: a human heart and the clasping of hands, one from heaven and other from mother earth. Can each of us reach out, from our hearts, to clasp one another’s hands while join with heaven and earth to make the journey together, paving the way for a vibrant, loving world for our great grandchildren and for theirs?

Test Success
How to be calm, confident and focussed while facing a test.
While the book is focussed on test takers (and there are many kinds of tests we have to take to make through today's credentialistic society), the potential of theory and practice behind this work take us into a deeper engagement to address any test in life (including those involving sustainability).
