Topic: My 20 year Spiritual Adventure in China

Presenters: David Schwerin, with responses by Zhihe Wang and Meijun Fan.

David Schwerin comes highly recommended by Zhihe Wang and Meijun Fan. He has shared with the Institute for Postmodern Development of China his business acumen and wise counsel, having been credentialed with an MBA in Finance (Bucknell) and a Ph.D. in religion (Temple).  David has over thirty years of business experience, beginning as a financial analyst and senior investment officer with a large bank. He founded D J Investment Advisors, Inc. and has served as its President since 1976.  Explore his website, www.consciousthinking.com, for “Speaking” and “Writing” primarily focused on his initial work in China on Socially Responsible Business. (Now it’s referred to as Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR, or most recently Environmental, Social and Governance, ESG.)

Schwerin is author of Conscious Capitalism: Principles for Prosperity (Butterworth-Heinemann 1998) which has been translated into Portuguese and Chinese and is in its second printing in China.  John Cobb praised Schwerin’s book Conscious Globalism: What’s Wrong with the World and How to Fix It (Digital Junction Press, 2005):  “David Schwerin is doing great work in reminding the business community of its enormous responsibilities. Economic globalization has given corporations great freedom; hence, much depends on how they use it. Those who read Conscious Globalism will have their tendencies to conscientiousness and inclusive concern strongly reinforced.”  Conscious Globalism was published in China in October 2005. 

Schwerin says, “Because some authorities in China have misgivings about the word ‘Spiritual’ and what it entails, I have purposely limited the spiritual aspects of my work on my website. That said, I have spent many years working to introduce a spiritual path to China. It is called Pathwork and is based on Mystery School teachings that are thousands of years old. It consists of 258 lectures that were channeled over a 20-year period and are psycho-spiritual in nature. These profound teachings are drawn from ancient wisdom from both the East and West.”  See his current blogs at https://www.speakingtree.in/david-schwerin/blogs.  See also his most recent book, co-authored with Diana Muenz Chen, titled Know Your Soul: Bring Joy to Your Life. It will help you understand the term Soul as he understands it.
