The Future Mind – A Conversation with Amy Lemon

Amy Lemon has been a professional actress for 40 years in New York and Los Angeles. Her pursuit of knowledge into the nature of being a conscious human has been a lifelong study. Her inquiry into Jungian thought, perennial philosophy, consciousness studies broadly, religious studies in college and continuing presently as a seminary student, have been her passions.  Her 45 year spiritual practices and personal phenomenal experiences, have all opened and awakened a ravenous curiosity that has helped to heal her early childhood experience of being sexually, emotional and physically abused by a family member. She spent years working and on the board of directors of a non-profit, The Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse in upstate New York where she raised her two now adult daughters. Child abuse has a profound effect on the lives of those who have experienced it;  from the way the brain and nervous system develops and responds to life’s circumstances and interpersonal relationships, to life long difficulties with substance abuse, depression, anxiety and other mental and physical health maladies. This is well documented in neuroscience, medicine and psychology. Its continuous perpetration in the world is a heinous human rights violation and affects us all in ways visible and invisible. And it stays in the shadows. It’s time to call it out into the light as we try to raise our consciousness as a species, starting with our most vulnerable, who will inherit the earth we leave them with.
