Ep #2 Greg Campbell - Australian author, cross-cultural anthropologist, researcher, and wisdom holder.

Our guest today is Australian author, cross-cultural anthropologist, researcher, and wisdom holder, Greg Campbell.  In his tradition, a wisdom holder is a storyteller and Greg is an exemplary example of the ancient Australian storytelling tradition. I’m referring to the 65,000-year ancient Aboriginal culture he has made an integral part of his life and writings. 

In this interview, Greg will unpack his interesting and colorful life lived with intensity and the belief, ‘Anything is possible’. He tracks the arch of his fascinating life with humility and candor, with an engaging and captivating style all his own. This is not a mere fantasy; this is a real-life story of achievement at the highest levels of human performance. He covers his transition from civil servant to entrepreneur, his consulting company’s startup that began with a service contract with the largest telecom company in Australia, while his little company employed only one person, himself. 

He shares the inside story of his role in Australia’s 1983 historical capturing of the America’s Cup trophy from the esteemed American sailors who had held the Cup for 132 years, the longest winning streak in sporting history. 

The underlying thread which runs through his story is his belief in the infinite potential of the Life Force, and the power that manifests from an abiding awareness of this Power. This Life Force he refers to as Consciousness, or what Aboriginal wisdom holders refer to as ‘The Dreaming’. It is a story of the intersection of ancient wisdom from two continents and cultures. 

“I believed in the voice of my inner heart, I simply had enough faith and belief in it to follow its guidance.” 

The story begins in his native Australia in 1974 where he shares the impact his first wisdom teacher, his Guru, Baba Muktananda had on his life. His meeting with Baba Muktananda, affectionately referred to as simply, Baba, inspired the insights and awareness with which he approached the rest of his life. 

He also shares the deep insights and wisdom he received from his decades-long intimate relationship with the Aboriginal wisdom holders of the Kimberly region in Northwestern Australia. He reveals rare access into the consciousness that underlies the 65,000-year-old unbroken Aboriginal cultural succession; one of peace and cooperative prosperity that he has so well documented in his writings. 

These are just a few of the many pearls of wisdom Greg shares in this conversation and that are further detailed in his forthcoming book, Total Reset. 

For those interested in the interconnectedness of life, cultures, consciousness and human evolution, this conversation will be a welcome delight.
