Total Reset: Realigning with our timeless holistic blueprint for living

By Greg Campbell and Greg Campbell

Born on Whadjuk Country in Perth, Western Australia, Greg Campbell is the author of Total Reset, a book 30 years in the making.Greg's life changed irrevocably on Wardandi Country in south-western Australia in 1972 after an extraordinary encounter with the Rainbow Serpent, whose bite initiated a profound experience of death, renewal, and direct experience of the universe through the Serpent's eye across the past, present, and future.Twenty years later, after successful careers in the public and corporate sectors, Greg was drawn to the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia. There, seated on the red earth with traditional Nyikina elder, Lulu-an esteemed senior Law-keeper with deep knowledge and shaman-like powers-Greg entered a relationship that reshaped his life. Lulu's conception totem was the Rainbow Serpent.Concerned by escalating threats to Country and the planet's future, Lulu asked Greg to live and work with him and the Goolarabooloo people to write one book. He felt that by bringing to the surface the Original Knowledge-ways of understanding life, relationship, responsibility, and balance carried by the First Peoples of Australia for more than 65,000 years-people could look at the world through new lenses, opening innovative pathways to return things to balance. In a defining exchange, when Greg observed that Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples were seeing the world differently through their respective lenses. Lulu replied: "True bubba. All we gotta do is give 'em some new spectacles."Total Reset draws attention to the crossroad humanity has reached after 5,000 years of division, extraction and destruction. In an era marked by widening inequality, persistent conflict, ecological breakdown, and expanding digital controls, the book explores what it will take to restore the unfettered spirit of life. Part 1 of the three-part book considers how humanity's present predicament arose, provides an evidence-backed summation of our world's endangered state and then contrasts modern socio-economic settings with those of traditional Indigenous peoples. The information-rich chapters are interspersed with stories from the author's life illustrating the positive impact of opening to the oneness reality. Interweaving decades of personal stories, research, and the living wisdom of Country through its traditional custodians, Parts 2 and 3 guide us on a journey of systemic transformation through connection: with our self, place, one another, and the larger living whole. It shows why human and planetary wellbeing depend on recognising and realigning with foundational principles of our species' original holistic blueprint for living, and how that can happen. As Lulu said, "We all gotta learn to walk together."
