The shift. The unraveling. The call to something bigger than survival, bigger than the script we’ve been handed. You’re speaking my language.
But let’s deep dive. Because what you’re talking about? It’s not just an idea. It’s an inevitability. The world is breaking at its seams—socially, economically, existentially—and the ego-driven paradigm that’s been running the show for the past 6,000 years? Yeah, it’s got an expiration date.
You talk about an evolutionary universe, conscious evolution, and our potential as a species. Hell yes. We are not just passive riders on this cosmic wave—we are co-pilots, architects, builders of the next iteration of existence. And yet, most people are still playing the old game. The game of hierarchy, competition, consumption. The game of self over system. And the thing is, it’s not working.
I love how you call out the “Ego Explosion” and the moment our species decided to prioritize power over connection. We’ve been living in that distortion ever since. The beauty of it? We don’t have to anymore. We can unhook from the illusion of separation and step into something new—something built on integration, interconnection, and conscious expansion.
And that’s exactly why my wife and I are doing what we’re doing.
We’re not just talking about connection—we’re living it. We’re recording it, experiencing it, showing it in real-time. This isn’t a movement that happens in the abstract—it happens in the late-night conversations with strangers, in the communities already rebuilding outside the system, in the quiet revolutions happening in backyards, basements, and across dinner tables.
You talk about the Singularity, the intersection of tech and consciousness. That’s the double-edged sword, isn’t it? Technology is either going to be the key to our highest evolution, or the tool that locks us into an irreversible dystopia. The difference? Who’s holding the steering wheel. And right now? The wrong people are driving.
So yeah, this shift isn’t just important—it’s urgent. And it’s not going to come from some top-down policy shift or the benevolence of tech overlords. It’s going to come from us. The people unplugging from the game and writing a new one.
Let’s take this shift out of the theoretical and into the tangible. Let’s move from discussion to disruption. If what you’re building and what we’re creating can align—then let’s talk.
Because the shift? It’s already happening. And we’re about to hit the road to make damn sure no one misses it.
This is an incredible journey you two are on! I'm going to be excited to see the reports you come back with. It is indeed a "quiet revolution." This Shift has been quietly brewing, out of sight, and beneath the all-seeing eye of Sauron. I'm not even sure if mass media and those at the top of the political pyramid should even be aware of this movement yet as they can't or won't even understand it. Top-down can have its place but it's mostly a grassroots wildfire that is going to be the source of true change. I love that you are out there chasing that wildfire and seeing where it goes and what it consumes.
Evolution happens in the body or it doesn’t happen at all. Cultural changes that don’t take root in the Earth and in the body because they are inimical to it are unsustainable. This is not evolution. The body is at the core of conscious evolution.
The body is the one resource no one includes in their lists. This is telling.
Just today, I saw a post referencing Deepak Chopra that was pretty close to the message you present. I do know Gregg Braden speaks to this quite a bit as well and is in fact pretty much in full opposition to the transhumanist agenda because of it. I just wanted to confirm that I see your concern and certainly am going to begin keeping a more open mind about it. Thank you for igniting that discussion in me.
Continue to build awareness, continue education of the principles of conscious evolution, implement the establishment of small but highly equipped groups of people focused on our collective transformation. Implementing this vision in society is no doubt the hardest part. But if there were 1 million such small groups around the globe, spreading a vision of a harmonious human future and exploring ways to reach our highest collective potential, and to support one another to implement that vision in their own lives, right where they are at, that would change the world.
Current issue: we push/rail against old systems or spend a lot of time talking/ideating instead of taking the steps to build new ones. Business IS just systems. And can (and is) being done very differently to the status quo shareholder models. Some call this conscious capitalism.
All business is marketing + product/service over delivery systems. Marketing is influencing human behaviour at scale. Sales is helping people achieve a transformation.
Another way you can think of it is (in a materialist sense, which most of the world is in this mode) every system we have in place is to fulfill a human need, and people are largely on autopilot motivated by subconscious strategies to get their needs met.
People tend to want to change things by convincing people, but that’s not how people work.
Business is already the science of complex human systems, and marketing is the art of manipulating human behaviour at scale. These are the wheels we don’t need to reinvent. We can just use them strategically to create balanced economies.
We do this by incepting into the culture the idea of economies based on wellbeing (marketing / human perception reason for this choice of words — every human buys into one of five things: health, wealth, relationships, happiness, relatability), that can be achieved through practical steps through business for purpose over profit. (See community wealth building, Neil McInroy)
Building a business is a vehicle for spiritual growth. (Bonus!)
It also subverts the charity model and solves material need while building the agency muscle too.
Inspire people to learn the skills of wealth building (and cooperation) at scale, and their transformation = the interdependent communities I have seen you mention a few times = global transformation.
That is what already is happening. So just more of the same? What about the apocalyptic threats that already are impinging on us? If not now to get a new grip, when?
I'm not convinced that it is already happening to a significant degree. Clarity and amplification of that which IS happening is critical. This must be a grassroots movement that becomes--with respect to our present situation in California--a wildfire with no containment in sight. What voices are currently screaming are still drowned out in the silence of an indifferent or uncaring society. An immense quality of highly informed, caring people acting in coordinated effort is one extremely viable opportunity to produce change and is certainly possible in this age of mounting concern and easily accessible social media. It might start slowly but the mass and momentum can grow quickly and with an ability to adapt as necessary. And our meta crises? We can't legislate that away or impose restrictions and controls in a top-down fashion. Rigid hierarchies and egoic-centered control are the influences that have helped put us in our current condition. The change will come by harnessing the power of a shifting state of consciousness. I think Barbara Marx Hubbard saw things similarly and can imagine her, in all her knowledge and wisdom, recognizing the value of a similar strategy of highly interconnected nodes of small communities all across the globe. I think it is the most natural, organic, evolutionary way; individuals moving toward and acting as small but effective community bodies.
exhaustive and visionary. i would add that in the surfacing of this paradigm (almost insufficient to describe what youre mapping here) - i always defer to Tarnas’ ‘worldviews create worlds’ - there is a new Authority that is establishing itself in the old bicameral mind structure (which ‘consciousness’ superceded) that is a sort of gaian superintelligence - that supercedes consciousness and asserts itself at the top of the hierarchy (or the bottom) in a tricameral architecture. something to delve into in our future chats.
I nominate this song to be our first theme song:

That is really wonderful and what amazing timing
Alright. I feel this.

Brilliant, Aaron !!! I look forward to reading it several more times in the week or two ahead.
Thank you, Mike, that brings me a great deal of encouragement.

Interesting perspective. As an idealist, I do see consciousness as primary, however, but will give this more consideration.

Aye. I would summarise as belief/marketing campaigns + bias toward action with practical, accessible, autonomous steps
Every business is just selling that transformation through marketing + service/product/result
We don’t need to reinvent the wheel :D
I would love to hear more. Could you flesh out those key points with a little more detail? Thanks for sharing, I deeply appreciate it.
